Malaysia Budget 2009

Today our PM will present the budget for 2009 in Parliament.
What I want he announces?
  1. Increase fuel subsidies for public transport. So that they can not force to increase the fare price.
  2. Reduce excise duty for beer only (not including liquor) as nowadays a lot of people drink cheap liquor which is more hazardous for one's health compare to beer. It will also able reduce smuggling.
  3. Minimum monthly remuneration of person deductible for income tax to be raised to RM3,000.00 from now of RM2,550.00
  4. Increase of employer's EPF contribution at least 1% and compulsory for employer while reduce 1% of employees' contribution.
  5. Increase duty for cigarettes.
And... the most important, allocates RM1 million in cash to be used by me! Har! Har! Har! Har!

Just A thought

"If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient?

If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous?

If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?"

I got this quote (or line) from Evan Almighty movie I re-watched last sunday on Astro during a conversation between God (Morgan Freeman) and Joan Baxter (Lauren Graham) in a diner.

It touches me.

Am I crazy? stupid? or what?!

Last saturday, after work I went to watch a movie at Cathay Pavillion called You Don't Mess With The Zohan starring Adam Sandler. I always love to watch Sandler's movie but this movie well it was ok, but I think it was his worst movie I ever watched.

Actually that was not the matter I want to write about, instead I am writing about how on earth I can be persuaded to buy a DSLR camera?

This was happened when I finished watch the movie, I went to KK Plaza, loitering around for a while before headed home.

I then stepped into a shop selling cameras, looking at all the stocks that being displayed in there.

Then, the tauke approached me and asked which type of camera that I was looking for. While still looking at the displays, I asked the tauke whether his shop have a Sony SLR camera with the cheapest price. Actually I am asking just for the sake of asking (what am I talking about?).

Then the tauke with his persuading skill began explaining about all the DSLR cameras that he have. He explained all about the functions, advantages and the disadvantages of one brand to another brands.

At last, I ended up in buying the Canon EOS1000D. Its price tagged RM1,999.00. The real reason I bought it? Still not known.

Anyway, I still not fully pay for it yet. I only put my booking for RM200.00.

Memang kerja gila, but whether it worth it, tengoklah nanti.

Tapi memang this is the craziest decision I ever made in my life.

Doa Bapa Kami

Bapa kami yang ada di Syurga
Dimuliakanlah nama Mu
Datanglah kerajaan Mu
Jadilah Kehendak Mu
Di atas bumi seperti di dalam Syurga

Berilah kami rezeki pada hari ini
Dan ampunilah kesalahan kami
seperti kami pun mengampuni
yang bersalah kepada kami

Dan janganlah masukkan kami
ke dalam percubaan
tetapi bebaskanlah kami dari yang jahat.

Bagi saya doa ini adalah doa yang paling lengkap sekali di dunia ini. Doa ini secara sendirinya telah diajar oleh Yesus Kristus kepada rasulnya dan kemudiannya disebarkan ke seluruh dunia.

Saya, selalunya jika hendak berdoa tetapi otak buntu, saya akan mengucapkan doa ini.

Unsur memuliakan Allah Bapa, memohon rezeki, memohon pengampunan, memberi pengampunan dan memohon penyelamatan; semuanya terkandung dalam doa ini.

Terima Kasih Yesus kerana mengajarkan umat-umatmu yang berdosa dan hina ini dengan doa buat pedoman dan kekuatan. AMEN.

'LIGHTNING' BOLT strikes again

Yes, he did it again and this time in 4x100m relay. Usain and his team mate that includes Asafa Powell stormed from the start until finish and create a new World Record in the event with a time of 37.10sec.

LIGHTNING BOLT doesn't strikes twice, instead HE strikes THRICE!

WELL DONE!

My father's KEMBARA had just come out from workshop

At last, my father's KEMBARA was out from workshop yesterday after six weeks of repairing job due to the accident caused by me ( I had mentioned on previous post).

It looks okay to me but I haven't take a close look on it yet.

Hope it will be operating as smooth as before.

I still owed my father for the cost of police handling on the accident. The repairing cost is by claims from insurance company. I wish I could pay for the insurance's NCB but I have not spoken to my dad about it coz I do not have the money right now.

Hoping to strike 4D la ni!

I really hope I could pay to my dad back.

God, give me the way to settle this matter. AMEN.

Servay Hypermarket Penampang destroyed in blaze

All today's local newspaper is reporting about the hypermarket destroyed in the blaze.

The funny side of it, is that all my colleagues that stay at Penampang saddened by the tragedy. It is because the hypermarket was their place to do their shopping espcially for daily grocery as it offered cheper if not the cheapest price for variety of products.

Poor them, no more shopping.....HA HA HA HAAAH!!!!!!

My company have also lost a grilling machine that had been placed there. I am not sure whether it is insured. If not, then bye-bye just like that.

Malaysian perfomances in the Bejing Olyimpics 2008

I do not know how I should describe the overall perfomances of our atheletes.

I have mixed opinions for their perfomances. In badminton, even Lee Chong Wei had bagged the silver from the single event, It was still a dissappointment for me because we are targeting a first ever gold medal in the Olympics from the event. I am blamming Lee Chong Wei for his loses to Lin Dan as Lin Dan was superb during the final match. However, our men's double pairs was a disaster to me. It was only went to the quarterfinal.

Archery for me also a dissappointment because of their inconsistency of their performances. I never like comments from Malaysian atheletes when they lost in which blaming their lack of experience in competing with top class atheletes.

I wonder when will our atheletes to get a full experience to win the olympic medals.

Anyway, I am also like to congratulate to all of the Malaysian athletes representing the country in the Beijing Olympic for all their efforts and any achievements they get in there.

Usain 'LIGHTNING' Bolt

This 22yrs old guy from Jamaica had shown an extremely out of this world and outstanding performances in the Olympic athletic history at Beijing, China.

He had given the world one of the greatest moments to be remembered for a long time in the Olympics history.

On Saturday night 16th August 2008, he had won the 100meter athletic sprint and at the same time broke the olympic record of 9.84sec and even bettered his own few months old world record of 9.72sec to an incredibly 9.69sec.

While the other runners on that final struggled to catch him, he had already celebrating his win 10meter before he reached the final line. He is seems to be from the other planet.

However, the biggest dissappoinment for me was the failure of Asafa Powell to give his best perfomance on that final. I was expecting him to give a good fight if not win the race as his best record is almost identical with Bolt before the race as he was the former world record holder.

Eventhough another five out seven racer had clocked sub 10.00sec, Usain Bolt had shown to the world that he is the greatest 100m runner in the world.

And last night, he did his magic again in 200meter event. I never deny that he will win the race with ease but it really suprised me that he had also broke Michael Johnson 12years olympic and world record of 19.32sec by storming to the finish line to clock 19.30sec.

I never thought that he will beat the record in this game as he had informed to press that he just after the gold medal and not the record. Furthermore, I also never thought that Johnson's record will be broken by anyone for another 4 years as Bolt himself only had 19.6 something time for the event.

Well, that is what Olympics all about. Records are broken, history are re-written while spectacular moments are to be remembered.

Congratulations to USAIN BOLT for your double sprint gold medal!

And also congratulations to Elena Isinbayeva, the greatest ever women pole vaulter in bettering her own world record to a new mark of 5.05meter.

(sigh)

No Reason...Just.....

I am still at the office but too lazy to do my work. My brain got stucked and I couldn't think for more ideas to design my company's brochure. That's why I am writing.

Unfortunately I don't have an issue to write down!?

Well, maybe I could start with imagining myself wins the Toto Jackpot 6/52 worth more than RM14million.

If I win and have claimed the prize, firstly, I will tender my resignation letter to my boss with 2 months notice. Maybe people will ask,"Why do you need to give a 2 months notice? Just resign sajalah! Anything outstanding you just paylah!

The reason I will do that is, I want to resign in a proper way because I want to give my company time to get a new replacement and I have to explain to the new person about my duties and responsibility. I want to leave without giving any trouble to the company.

Next....

errr....

I still can't figure out......

Anyway, I should give praise to God for giving me the good fortune (eventhough HE forbid gambling).

Thanx God for your great blessing and kindness on me. AMEN!

But before anything of that could happen, I must buy my 6 pairs numbers this evening. I have a feeling that I am gonna win it.

My number will be....... 08 15 18 19 29 30

What is the significance of that number? All the numbers are represent me and my siblings's day of birth.

08 represents my oldest younger sister's day of birth - 08th Dec

15 represents my youngest sister's day of birth - 15th Nov

18 represents my youngest brother's day of birth - 18th Dec

19 represents my oldest younger brother's day of birth - 19th March

29 represents my day of birth - 29th April

30 represents my older sister's day of birth - 30th Oct

Hope I WIN!
Testing!

Today I want to try to put picture in my post (with reduced pixels).




I am truly stupid in uploading photos into my blog. I do not know how to arrange it into my post.

Btw, the above picture was taken during our staffs' gathering on 30/12/2007 at my boss's residence at Tmn Luyang, Lintas.

Teka-teki dan kisah lucu.

Teka-teki dan kisah lucu ini saya dengar ketika mendengar khutbah dari Father semasa misa kudus. Tidak percaya? You better believe it. Father Nicholas Stephen telah ditugaskan untuk melayani umat di paroki kami di Tuaran baru-baru ini.

Dalam homilinya, beliau selalu selitkan teka-teki dan kisah-kisah lucu.

Antara kisah dan teka-tekinya ialah:-

Semasa misa kudus semalam.
Soalan : Apa nama DINOSAUR dalam Bahasa Melayu dan Dusun?
Jawapan : Dalam BM ialah Mati Tidak Nampak, dalam Dusun ialah Napatai Au Okito.

(Di-No-Saur = Die-No-Saw = Mati-Tidak-Nampak = Napatai-Au-Okito)

Dari misa minggu sebelum ini.

Ada tiga orang yang terdampar di sebuah pulau setelah. Seorang bangsa Jepun, seorang bangsa Filipin dan seorang lagi bangsa dusun.

Sedang mereka duduk di tepi pantai, mereka ternampak satu botol di atas air yang dipukul oleh ombak hingga ke pantai. Mereka pun mengambil botol itu lalu membuka penutup botol itu. Maka tidak semena-mena keluarlah kepulan asap dari botol itu lalu membentuk menjadi satu jasad. Jasad itu sambil ketawa terbahak-bahak berkata,'Hah Hah Hah! Aku adalah Jin! Aku sudah terkurung dalam botol itu sudah 2000 tahun. Aku berterima kasih kepada kamu, dan sebagai balasan, kamu boleh minta apa saja daripada saya, maka saya akan tunaikan tetapi setiap seorang hanya diberi satu permintaan sahaja". Si Jepun pun dengan cepat berkata, "Saya mahu menjadi orang yang terkaya di negara Jepun". Si Jin berkata,"Baiklah" sambil memetik jarinya, Si Jepun pun hilang dari pulau itu dan menjadi orang paling kaya di Jepun.

Si Filipin juga meminta perkara yang sama,"Saya mau jadi orang terkaya di Filipin", "Baiklah", ujar si Jin dan memetik jarinya si Filipin pun hilang dan kembali ke negaranya untuk jadi orang paling kaya di sana.

Si Jin pun memandang kepada si Dusun ini sambil bertanya, "kamu pula apa permintaan kamu?". Setelah dia berfikir dengan agak lama hingga si Jin pun hampir naik bosan, Si Dusun pun berkata kepada si Jin, "Saya bosan kalau berada seorang di pulau ini, saya minta supaya kau kembalikan semula kedua-dua rakan saya tadi". Maka dengan sekelip mata si Jepun dan si Filipin kembali ke pulau itu.

Moral : Orang tidak bijak tidak tahu apa yang dia mahu.

Satu lagi kisah lucu yang saya dapat dari Reader's Digest berbunyi seperti begini:

Seorang peguam yang sedang memandu telah di tahan oleh seorang polis trafik kerana gagal memberhentikan kenderaannya ketika berada di simpang jalan yang mempunyai tanda isyarat BERHENTI.

Polis trafik itu bertanya kepada Peguam itu, "Encik, kenapa tidak memberhentikan kereta ketika nampak tanda berhenti tadi?", Si Peguam menjawab, "Tuan, saya ada perlahankan kereta saya dan melihat tidak ada kereta di kiri dan kanan jadi tiada sebab saya perlu memberhentikan kereta saya".

Si Polis memberitahu,"Tapi tanda disimpang mengarahkan encik untuk berhenti, jadi encik harus berhenti sebelum meneruskan semula perjalanan".

Si Peguam menjawab semula,"Sama saja bah tu, tuan. Bukan ada beza pun sebab bukannya ada kereta lain".

Si Polis menegaskan sekali lagi, "Encik tetap salah kerana tanda di simpang menyuruh encik untuk berhenti bukannya hanya perlu memperlahankan kenderaan sahaja".

Tidak puas hati dengan penerangan si Polis, Si Peguam pun berkata kepada si Polis, "Tuan, kau boleh saman saya kalau tuan boleh tunjukkan saya apa perbezaan antara berhenti dan perlahan?".

Setelah berfikir sejenak, Si Polis berkata, "Baiklah, boleh encik turun dari kereta encik sekarang?". Si Peguam pun turun dari keretanya dan dengan tiba-tiba Si Polis mengeluarkan belantannya dan memukul peguam itu sekuat hatinya sehingga peguam itu mengerang kesakitan. Sambil memukul si Peguam, Si Polis bertanya kepada peguam itu,"Nah, sekarang encik hendak saya berhenti atau perlahan?"

LU PIKIRLAH SENDIRI!

Bulan Paling Sial Tahun Ini

Bulan Julai 2008 merupakan bulan yang paling sial tahun ini untuk diri saya. Kenapa? Kerana saya mendapat kemalangan kereta

Saya mendapat kemalangan pada 09/07/2008 lebih kurang jam 9.00 malam semasa perjalanan pulang dari ofis ke rumah. Kenderaan yang saya bawa waktu tu ialah Perodua Kembara daddy saya. Hari tu adalah hari terakhir saya guna kereta tu sebelum mengembalikan semula kepada daddy saya kerana daddy dan mummy saya balik hari tu dari Kuching selepas hantar adik saya kerja di sana.

Saya baru habis meeting di ofis, then lepas tu hendak pergi bank-in duit untuk anak buah saya di KL (cousin minta pinjam duit RM300). Saya pergi CIMB Inanam, Cash Deposit Machine (CDM) pula rosak, so saya pergi ke Gaya Street, di situpun CDM nya rosak. Akhir sekali saya pergi ke Api-Api centre punya branch, barulah dapat bank-in duit.

Dalam perjalanan pulang tu, terasa pula lapar, tapi saya batalkan niat saya untuk singgah cari makan dulu sebab rasa mengantuk sangat. Jadi saya teruskan perjalanan untuk pulang ke rumah. Memang saya sudah rasa badan saya tidak selesa sudah kerana keletihan, apa tidaknya meeting di ofis hari tu dari jam 2.00ptg sampai 7.00malam.

Saya pun memandu dengan kelajuan 60km/j saja. Saya terasa juga yang mata saya sudah terkedip-kedip menahan mengantuk. Memang kebodohan saya sendiri kerana tidak mau berhenti sebentar di tepi jalan sebab saya merasa saya boleh teruskan sehingga ke rumah.

Tiba-tiba saya terasa kereta bergoncang. Rupa-rupanya saya sudah terlelap dan hanya tersedar apabila merasa goncakan itu. Saya sudah berada di tepi jalan raya yang tidak berturap. Dengan perasaan separuh terkejut tetapi belum sampai panik, saya terlihat dihadapan saya longgokan pasir dan secara spontan tangan saya memulas stereng ke sebelah kanan. Kereta kembali ke atas jalan raya berturap tetapi oleh kerana stereng kereta adalah power stereng ditambah mungkin kerana pulasan stereng saya terlalu kuat, kereta pun berpusing dan mendarat dijalan raya dengan kepala kereta menghala semula ke arah KK. Kejadian ini berlaku di kawasan dihadapan simpang kilang dahulunya kilang Ho Wah Genting.

Kereta telah berbaring di jalan raya dengan kanan kereta berada di atas jalan raya. Saya pun keluar melalui tingkap pintu sebelah kiri kereta. Tangan kanan saya berlumuran dengan darah kerana terkena serpihan kaca dari tingkap bahagian pemandu.

Tidak payahlah saya cerita details sangat. Saya call parents saya dan saya telah dihantar ke hospital berungis oleh saudara saya yang kebetulan juga lalu di kawasan tersebut.

Dihospital, luka saya dibersihkan dan di balut. Mujur luka tidak besar sangat hanya banyak serpihan kaca dalamnya. Saya tidak memerlukan jahitan. Malam itu juga saya pulang ke rumah.

Segala urusan kereta diurus oleh daddy saya.

Pengajaran yang saya dapat dari kejadian ini ialah jangan memandu jika rasa mengantuk dan kalau terasa lapar jangan tangguhkan untuk mencari makanan kerana takut nanti kempunan(saya percaya kejadian ini berlaku akibat kempunan)

Seminggu selepas itu saya pergi buat organ scanning di klinik permai untuk check organ-organ dalam badan saya ok atau tidak selepas impak accident itu. Mujur semua organ dalam keadaan baik menurut laporan perubatan.

Tetapi sekarang, penyakit psioriasis saya timbul semula terutama di bahagian tangan yang terdapat luka akibat kemalangan itu.

Sekarang tengah cuba pil tulang rawan ikan yu dan mandi dengan rebusan pokok seakan kaktus disamping ubat sapu deprosalic.

Ya Tuhan, berikanlah aku kesembuhan daripada penyakit saya ini. AMEN.

Satu lagi kes, Perodua Rusa kepunyaan syarikat yang saya bawa pulang pada 30hb Julai, kehabisan minyak di Inanam. Mujurlah di Inanam, ada stesen minyak yang dekat. Sebenarnya saya mau uji berapa jauh saya boleh sampai dengan keadaan meter sudah pada paras E. Rupa-rupanya warning lightnya tidak berfungsi menyebabkan saya kehabisan minyak langsung.

Walaupun saya memang marah kesemua perkara ini berlaku, namun saya bersyukur kerana saya masih lagi dapat terus hidup di dunia ini. Saya percaya semuanya ada hikmah disebalik semua kejadian.

Ya Tuhan, ampunilah aku dimana aku mengeji engkau ketika perasaan ku dalam marah, berilah aku kebijaksaan agar aku dapat mengawal pemikiran dan perasaan ku sebaik-baiknya. AMEN.
