BERILMU UNTUK BERJASA

Atas sebab terpengaruh dengan kawan-kawan kodok aku (Lynn & Herman) yang bercerita mengenai nostalgia asrama mereka, maka aku pun tidak terkecuali. Bezanya, aku bersekolah di sini. Takyah cakap banyak, layan je lah kisah aku pulak...

1. Kasta kat skolah aku ada 5 peringkat. Paling atas form 5, paling rendah form 1. Range tengah2 korang figure sendirik. Form 5 mengungguli semua acara ragging dan buli tanpa kekangan melainkan warden dan pihak sekolah sahaja.

2. Ketuk ketampi? Hukuman standard untuk "pesalah" bawah umur (form 1 & form 2). Sepuluh kali je... tak banyak untuk setiap kesalahan... Haah. 10 kali - mengeja! Macam nih: S... A... SA... T... U... TU... SA... TU... SATU (kira sikit dah berapa kali dah tu? baru 1 yang cuma ada dua suku kata)

3. Naik form 3 onwards pelempang dan sepak terajang aje untuk pesalah.

4. Form 1 & 2 tak boleh pakai short untuk sebarang aktiviti (tak, mandi pun tak boleh) tapi form 3 ke atas boleh pakai short... aneh kan?

5. Masuk dining hall kena tutup aurat. At least sarung je kain pelikat.

6. Form 1 & 2 biasanya kena jadi balachi untuk angkat dan buangkan sisa makanan form 5 dalam tray. Diorang tak tunggu kitorang abis makan, tengah2 makan tu disuruhnya. Bayangkan korang tengah makan, pastu kena panggil buang tray, pastu ada selera ke korang nak sambung makan. Pastu silap2, kena angkat lebih dari seround. Ptuih.

7. Ragbi adalah sukan wajib semua orang tau main. Ia diajar sejak minggu orientasi lagi. Football comes second. We are an all-boys school by the way.

8. Kitorang ada lagu cheer yang akan dinyanyikan masa skolah ada game tak kiralah ragbi ke, bola ke, dsb. Tapi form 1 & form 2 yang wajib hadir dan wajib cheer. Siapa suara tak serak balik game kena denda. Maknanya we did not cheer good or loud or passionate enough. Sheesh... Lirik di ajar masa minggu orientasi. Sapa tak hafal turut didenda. Double sheesh...

9. Unlike Herman, "fly" adalah acara yang paling aku suka. Aku first time fly lepas form 3. Cuak tapi best gile! Experience masa fly? Banyak... kena kejar anjing, kena follow ngan benda mistik, mengelak warden... ahhh banyaklah. Tak lalu aku nak cerita semua.

10. Tapi yang bestnya, bila aku naik form 5, aku jugak buat benda yang sama kat budak-budak junior.... harharhar... haronn...

11. Muzik yang hangat itu jam adalah Guns & Roses, Metallica, Nirvana dan lain-lain yang seangkatan dengannya. Walkman dan windbreaker merupakan benda paling cool to have. Lagi-lagi bila dalam perjalanan untuk ke prep. Gerek abis dah tu...

Banyak lagi beb, aku dah mengenyam nak tengok Prison Break 3 : Episode 12 dah ni. Nanti sambung. Syah, Mon, Nazri dan lain-lain kalau add up, silakan. You're my 915 brothers!

Later.


This poster has it's relevancy to my post. More or less.

MIND, BODY & SOUL


A serene view I took at Kemensah

I used to be one of those who does not take stress, rest, sleep and diet properly. I mean, yeah, we survived all those with less supervisions and we said that because we're still alive and kicking! But believe me it's not for long...

Our body have it's own defense system. I (and maybe others as well) call it immunity. Does these sounds familiar?
- We are what we eat
- An apple a day keeps the doctor away
- Eat well, live well
- Sleep at least 8 hours a day
- Smoking kills
- bla bla bla (hey, this sounds familiar too)

They are all very true. Why am I saying this? Because I used to neglect these words of wisdom or health advice if I may say. I am currently facing these issues:
- Always feeling tired
- Stress
- Sleepy
- Dry skin
- Acne (wtf?)

Like it or not, I have to agree with someone who once told me: Semakin umur kita meningkat, immuniti badan kita dah tak sekuat dulu. Benda-benda yang kita makan masa muda-muda dulu macam belacan, udang kering, ikan masin dsb. baru nampak effect nya kat badan kita sekarang.

I could not agree more. And now I plan to live life at a little bit slower pace. Have a good rest whenever I have the opportunities, eat well-balanced diet (this is quite hard for a malay and thai cuisine fan) and kick-off the bad habits for my health's sake.
Godspeed.

PIHAK BERKUASA

As mentioned in my earlier post, I have to work on Saturdays (damn it!). I went o office today from Bandar Seri Putra, expecting a smooth traffic flow from my house gate to office. The traffic was smooth as expected until I've paid the ever-increasing toll at Sungai Besi.

Traffic jam!

Accident? Road block? Goblok?
Ohh... it was the gobloks who intelligently squeezed the fast 4 lanes into 2 lanes with their mighty BERHENTI PEMERIKSAAN XXXXX sign. And guess what, nothing happened. One official just wave all passerby to not stop, while the other 2-3 officials stopping cars and bikes at the side.

All of us the road users this morning were stuck because of this 3-4 officials. The best part was, I don't even know the real purpose of them doing this.
HINDRAF or BERSIH maybe?

Oh, I nearly forgot... they are the PIHAK BERKUASA.

PROMO: CUCI



Geng kodok gua yang terdiri dari Gua, Shidah, Nina, Lynn & Razi (Herman, Eina dan Lizzam tak dapat join) telah pun menonton filem sulung arahan Hans Isaac iaitu CUCI pada 3 Februari 2008 yang lalu di GSC Pavilion.

Aku memang suka filem jenis macam nih. Ia boleh dikatakan filem bergenre komedi, tapi bukan yang jenis bangsat ntah hape2. Mesej disampaikan secara bersahaja. Korang boleh gelak bersama komedinya dan kemudian balik tidur, ataupun gelak sambil berfikir apa yang hendak disampaikan/sindirkan.

Overall, cara pengarahan atau flow Hans mengemudi filem ini ada sikit sama dengan style si Afdlin Shauki but in a different perspective. Itupun mungkin sebab aku banyak tengok filem Afdlin dan mungkin jugak sebab diorang pernah berlakon bersama dalam Baik Punya Cilok dan mungkin jugak aku minat kreativiti dan effort diorang to bring something different in Malay movie scene yang aku lihat semakin kaput dan mengarut.

Apapun, CUCI is a film well done by a first time film director, Hans Isaac. I should pat him on the back whenever I get to see him. Congratulations to those involved in CUCI.

For the rest of you out there, go watch CUCI and you will not regret it.

NEW

Aku dah pindah ke Bandar Seri Putra. Totally. Office is still in Cheras. I have to travel approximately 30-40 minutes everyday from home at least by 6:50am. Otherwise, I'll be stuck at MRR2 and wont be able to reach office on time. Penat siot. Mengantuk toksah cerita. I might need at least a month to get used to this new routine.

Office also have new working hours. We get to work 7 hours from Mondays to Fridays but we also have to work for 4 hours every Saturdays. Yes, while others are going for 5-days a week, we're going the other way round instead. Thanks to the "genius and brilliant" mind of our management team. Lalalalala... hari-hari kerja!

I have no laptops or PCs or even internet connection at my house. The only multimedia device I have currently is, a television and ASTRO. I'm currently at my mother in-law's.

This means, I will not be blogging as frequent as before but once I got the opportunity, I'll try to drain my brain out.
