ICE

td aku br blk dr mannheim..stadi kat tmpt ewa..kat rumah aku x leh nak stadi.. nak buat camner.
byk gangguan..tp ari nie kene la blk.. esok nak exam

anyway.. today's story is about sumthing dat happened on my way back home..

firstly.. as intro.. Germany has an excellent transportation system..which are buses, subs, trams n trens.. jadual pon well organized n punctual too..

so people often take trens kl nak travel within germany.. same thing goes with me.. in my case..
kl nak pg mannheim.. i naik ICE (InterCityExpress) .. german's bullet tren..rentas satu germany.. lalu kat main cities like mine

ulm- mannheim is about 300-400km.. ICE just needs 1H40min jer.. bole jer kl nak naik tren kashmir.. tp 4-5jam gak la..so mmg save a lot of time kl naik ICE..

but u know.. living in a developed country is not cheap.. kat mesia pon brg dak makin mahal.. ini pulak kat german.. dat includes tranportation cost... in other words.. tambang kete api.. mahal woo.. kl nak tren kashmir pon still agak mahal laa unless u buy group tickets..

luckily dlm ICE kite bole beli tiket dlm tren.. unlike tren biasa yg kite kene beli tiket dl sblom naik..

diorang allow beli tiket dlm ICE sbb nak senangkan org in case x smpt nak beli sblom naik.. tp memandangkan aku nie org mesia yg terkenal dgn suka mencari ruang utk amek peluang pon menggunakan peluang baik ini.. aku pon bukannye kaya pon ye x?? kayap ade laa

don get me wrong.. aku bukannyer x nak bayar.. as a good consumer aku mesti nak bayar tiket la kan..

well..u know.. sumtimes during rush hour pg n ptg,, ICE is soo packed with passengers smp kene berdiri the whole journey that ticket conductor yg cek n jual ticket x smp2 lg kat kite smp la kite turun tren tuh..nak buat cam ner.. aku nak beli tiket.. dia yg x dtg..

sumtimes bile aku dlm tren.. aku penat yg amat sgt dat aku ngantuk n kene tido.. although aku jenis x leh lena dlm tren ..tp kene paksa tido jugak or at least tido2 ayam..then bile conductor dtg,, dia tgk aku nie tido cam dah lama sgt..bukan cam org yg br naik tren.. 'dah beli tiket la nie td' or so he\she thought.. so he\she just passed by me without waking me up..hmm aku nak bayar nie.. tp diorang x kejut kan aku..kl x sure la aku bayar kann..

n there are times yg bile aku nak pg toilet for whatever reason,, time tu laa conductor tu br nak nmpk btg hidung..aku punyer la tunggu lm dah.. bile org nak toilet br nak dtg.. n by the time aku kuar toilet... he\she was already long gone..sighhh.....

so u see..kite ikhlas nak beli tiket..diorang je yg x dpt nak jual...ehemmm

so beautiful

last 2 weeks aku asyik dok melayan Malaysian Most Beautiful.. yess i know citer nie dah basi.. tp wat to say.. aku kan bukan dok kat mesia.. so x dapek arr nak tgk tv..

anyway.. courtesy of torrent malaya dpt jugak aku mendonlod till ep 5.. kl x, x le la nak tgk..

ekceli aku x minat mende2 reality show nie.. tp since ewa beria nak tgk .. so donlod laa..

so ..what do u think of this show.. hmm .. most people say it is about getiks women meloncat2 kat depan kamera..well me.. hmm.. let me think...

ok ..since aku dah watch till ep 5 so aku kasik komen up to ep 5 jugak laa..

firstly.. about the participants:

ok.. it is undeniable yg sumtimes diorang nie mmg getiks..buat naughty dance laa.. exercise lebih2 depan camera laa.. as if nak tunjuk her 'big' asset.. yes we know that God has granted u with a beautiful body.. n x salah nak tunjuk.. tp jgn la lebey2..

tp that was nothing compared with the a number of fights they had..bayangkann.. baru ep 2 dah gaduh giler2.. siap 'bitch' pon kuar..

adoihhh.. aku rasa mcm duduk kat jungle Taman Negara pon ade gak.. full of female monkeys tgh berebut2 makanan..

hmm..maybe its a normal thing to happen if u put a group of women who dont know each other in one room..either they immediately jadik best frens or palestin n israel.. killing each other..

maybe itu la sbb penganjur buat show nie.. becos they know this will happen.. kl buat show pasal laki.. like... Malaysia's Most Gorgeous Man ker... mesti bosan .. sbb guys jenis x kesah n mmg malas nak gaduh.. nak2 kl kat depan camera..x macho arr..

kl gaduh pon xde nyer perang2 mulut.. boh tgn n kaki jer.. silap2 cameraman pon join sama..

well.. itu psl peserta..about the show n judges lak aku rasa the first 4 shows tuh xde mende sgt..
no real challenge..

like.. mekap n dress up ur best frens.. pastu buat catwalk..come on laa.. byk gik mende bole buat..ok.. diorang kate ade la sbb tersirat.. eg: memahami ape yg best fren kite suka etc. but still x de challenge sgt..

smp la ep 5 br la sedap skit tgk.. sbb diorang buat real work.. pastu gik interview.. haa.. camtu br la best.. dpt tgk what they're really capable of doing..

about the judges.. nothing much to comment except they kicked a bit too many people at first.. ye laa.. awal2 lg dah buang 3 org.. kata minah2 nie kene stay for 3 months tp at this rate it will last only for 5 weeks..

lg pon don u think that eliminating participants at first week is quite too early..too early to say that they don hv what it takes to be in MMB.. even AF pon x buang org dlm first week (so far kan?).. sbb kite x lihat byk pasal diorang..so maybe x cukup nak judgment..

yet i'm just an outsider.. just penonton.. so kite x tau real thing that happen inside the show.. this opinion is based only on wat they put in the show..kite x tau ape diorang x tunjuk unless ade org dlm..

so thats it for now about it.. nnt dah tgk nx episodes br komen lg laa

aku geram

ok.. this is yesterday's story.. tp ari nie br aku ade mood nak citer..

cam nie alkisahnyer.. memandangkan umah aku dah kehabisan stok makanan proper (e.g. beras n ayam/daging) so kene la aku kuar umah.. smp bile aku nak rely kat megi ye x?

so i went out to Mizan, the only kedai ayam halal kat ulm.. tp tutup?? hmm br pkl 5 ptg.. ok. now ayam n daging are out of question.. so aku decide nak beli beras kampit kat indian shop.. aku x suka beras langkorn dlm peket.. but since bus no 7 dah terlepas so aku pon menapak ke kedai tu...

tp bl smp jerr.. ohh s**t!! tutup jugak!! apsal sumer tutup nie?? dah la bas no7 yg nak blk ke bahnhof pon br terlepas.. kene pulak kaki aku still sakit.. yupp, dr 2weex ago tp x baik2 lg..

´ok.. wat to do now??´.. ok beras peket bole beli kat memane kedai tp lauk? haaa.. ape kata aku makan ikan hering kat jual kaufland tu..

so now menapak back to bahnhof.. by then dah 5:30pm ..ptt ade bas 38 or 8 yg ke kaufland tp xde pon.. so tunggu le lg.. that bas dtg every 15min so next is 5:45pm..

tp smp pkl 6 btg hidung bas tu pon aku x nmpk.. aku siap smpt layan milkshake kat mcD lg tu..
aku mls laa nak jln kaki lg sbb kaki dah capek blk.. ok last chance.. aku tunggu smp pkl 6:30

by then bas tu pon xdtg2 jugak.. ape nie?? cuti ape lak diorang nie?? mizan tutup bole la aku phm sbb nx week nak raya haji tp diorang??

so since aku dah kenyang telan milkshake tu. aku pon blk la umah.. dah sejam tahan sejuk kat luar.. dah x larat maa.. singgah kejap ke kedai asia imbiss.. kot2 bole pesan nasi goreng... tp huhuu.. tutup jugak daa!!

last2 kat umah aku bantai roti jer.. itu la rezeki aku smalam... aku redha je laa...

today.. i went out again.. 1stly try pg usha mizan .. aik??? bukak lak.. pelik.. so ade la lauk bole beli.. then smp kat busstop theater, dtg la bas yg nak ke kaufland tu.. both buses lak tu.. no 38 n 8.. eee geramnyerr aku..

so aku teringat la.. kekadang tu kan.. bile kite nak sumthing.. mesti bende tu xde.. cari laa or tunggu laa smp berjanggut pon.... xkan jumpak nyerr.. tp bile kite dah x nak.. berduyun2 bende dtg kat kite.. that was wat happened to me today.. again..

eheh.. walau pon lauk dah ade tp aku bakar potato jer.. alasannyer x nak membazir.. alaa astar.. ckp je la ko malas.. kan senang..

Why lelaki kawin lambat????

taken from my mailbox..pls read..


Why lelaki kawin lmbt????

Malaysians are getting married at older age. Why?
Let me give an example.
It is a little bit long example. If you want
to skip it, there is a
summary at the end.

Say you are a fresh graduate at that age of 23, a
male, starting a carrier
as an executive officer working somewhere in KL with
a salary, say RM2000
per month and without any saving in the bank.
Monthly, extracting your
expenditures on foods, transportation (public or
motorcycle), electricity,
water, phone, house rent and other expenses, say you
can save about RM800
the most. Then, because you are a good son, you
send some money to your
parents or relatives about RM300 per month. This will
give you a balance of
RM500 of saving. For the first year, maybe you are
very discipline with
your budget, so you save about RM5000.

The next year at the age of 24, you meet a girl of
your dream. Both of you
plan to get married after one year or two. Ok,
that's fine, it gives you
time to save some more money and some more time
to prepare the basic
necessities for a 'happy' family? a car and a roof to
live under. That year
because you are a hard worker, you get a raise of 10%.
Since you are also a
gentleman, you make sure some money is put aside
to spend on dates and
gifts for your girl, so 10% goes for her. Like the
previous year, after
much sweat and meggie-eating months, you save another
RM5000. Your company
is doing ok. You are paid 2 months bonus. So,
another RM4000 is added to
your saving. So, your total saving now is
RM14,000. You decide to spend
about RM8000 on a brand-new RM40,000 car
down payment. So, you net saving
that year is RM6000.

The next year at the age of 25, you are doing fine
at work. But because
now you have to pay for car every month, your total
monthly saving is cut
down to about RM400. You save roughly about RM5000
that year. No bonus that
year because your company is doing poor. So, your
total saving in the bank
is RM11,000. Then, you decide to get engaged with
your girlfriend. She
said OK. So, need to buy an engagement ring. RM1500
is spent on ring plus
'hantaran pertunangan'. So, your net saving that year
is RM9,500.

The next year at the age of 26, you get promoted. Your
salary now is 1.5 of
your starting salary at the company. Good news! You
think. "Ok, this year
I will get married". You also are 'gersang' already.


So, you ask your fiancée "how much is the dowry
(hantaran)? "
She say, "berapa-berapa yang u sanggup".
You ask,"RM5000 ok?".
She replies, "I okay je. Tapi my mom tu. Dia kata
grad oversea macam I ni
mane boleh letak rendah-rendah. Paling kurang RM10,000
tau!".

Your eyes 'terjegil', your tounge 'meleleh' and
you faint on the spot.
"Where else in the world can I get extra money?", you
say to yourself. But,
because you are very determined to get married with
your dream girl and in
the name of love, you work really really hard
that year until you are
awarded "The Best Employee of The Year". You get 3
months of bonus. You
also do some side business to supply ayam pencen.
So, roughly your net
saving at the end of that year is RM20,000.

Ok, now you are 27 years old with enough saving in
the bank to pay for the
dowry. But then, come your mom saying,"Anak mak nak
kawin ni mesti la buat
grand grand. Kita sewa khemah besar-besar, jemput
penyanyi ke artis ke
sorang dua datang buat persembahan. Lauk pauk kita
cater aje la ya? RM10 je
sekepala. Baju kawin ko, kita sewa yg cantik-cantik
dan mahal-mahal sket.
Kita jemput dalam 1000 orang datang ok?"

You did a quick in-the-head-calculation,
"1000xRM10=RM10,000, penyanyi
lagi, khemah lagi, buta-buta je RM15,000!!! Tu
tak masuk cincin kahwin
lagi!!"
You say,"Mak, nak buat apa membazir-bazir duit ni?"
Your mom replies,"Apa pulak membazirnya? Kau kawin
sekali je seumur hidup.
Biarlah buat betul-betul."
You insist,"Tapi mak?"
Your mom says, "Dahlah, kau jangan nak buat malu mak.
Cik Tipah jiran kita
tu buat kenduri kat hotel siap dato, datin, tan sri
puan sri lagi datang.
Mana la mak nak letak muka kalau buat kenduri kecik
kecik?".

Anyway, you finally get married. But, a beautiful
happy life after marriage
that you dream of with your wife does not last long.
You have debts around
your waist, interest gets higher every month,
cannot afford to pay them,
you wife gets tired of you asking money from her, she
accuses you of being
irresponsible husband for not being a good provider,
blah blah blah? At the
end, you two go into separate ways? You get divorced.

Problem breeds problem? Sometimes we wonder why
marriage institution is
failing in our country. The above example may
not represent the whole
phenomena in our culture, but perhaps it gives
us some ideas of the
problems young couple these days are facing in
getting married from my
perspective.

The Root Cause of The Problem...

There is something wrong in our culture. I really
think there are some
practices in our culture in Malaysia (Malay culture
specifically) that do
not make sense and especially they are contrary to
the teaching of Islam.
These practices are well-rooted in our culture that
unfortunately because
of them, many people are 'afraid' to get married, or
simply feel like they
cannot afford when they are actually can afford.
These are some of my
observation and summary analysis:

(1) Marriage should be done in the most modest way but
in Malaysia, it is
ought to be done in the most lavish way. Competition
on whose wedding is
the most grandeur is almost unavoidable. Fame is
usually the reason why
people spend unreasonable and wasteful amount of money
for a wedding.

(2) The "price" of a woman is measured according to
her perhaps educational
background, physical attributes and family social
status not according to
her knowledge and understanding of Deen and
piety as suggested by the
religion. The saddest thing is that "price" is
put on women, who are
supposed to be, if God-loving, kind-hearted and
pious ones, "priceless"!
'Dowry' system is adopted by the Malays from perhaps
the Indians who came
to Malaysia long time ago. When the 'dowry' is put
too high and men can't
afford to pay, marriage is usually delayed or
cancelled. An effort to build
another small brick unit of this Deen is delayed or
perhaps destroyed only
for this reason.

(3) Marriage should be a quick and easy process for
the couple not hard,
which eventually becomes a burden. These days,
we make marriage so
complicated that people are afraid of getting
married. When I was in the
US, I saw Muslim brothers and sisters getting
married at the mosque, with
just some sweets as the main course for the
guests. The guests who were
invited to witness the ceremony were usually whoever
prayed jemaah at the
mosque or some close relatives and friends. There
is no point of being
extravagance. We should focus on the life after
wedding not the wedding
itself.

Wedding is only a door to the marriage house.
Why should we spent a
lot of money to decorate the door so
beautifully, when the inside of
the house is then left empty, dark and
unattractive?

...and the pressure is on men...

Lainkali kalau mak asyik tanyer kaum lelaki " Bilerla kau nak kawin
atau kau tanak kawin ker..?" patutker kiter ( kaum laki ) kasi artikel
nih?? Hahahahahahahahaha............. ^_^
