Again, a horrible road accident as a result of human carelessness occurred. The Sani Express bus that crashed at Km 272.8 on the North-South Expressway resulting in 10 people dead was due to the driver falling asleep at the wheel. The admission was from the bus driver himself. Breathalyzer and blood test done on the driver came out negative.
The two tier bus was heading north before it skidded and hit the road divider around 1 a.m. The victims were seated on the lower deck. The two drivers and 36 other passengers were only slightly injured. The crash did created a temporary slowed down the traffic flow at that stretch and it only eased up around 8 a.m.
Police have remanded the driver until Wednesday to facilitate them in their investigations.
Not all bus drivers are bad. But some are really reckless and can be called rogues on the roads. I really hope the authorities come down hard on the driver and be made an example to other bus drivers.
Last week, muslims all around the world greeted the new Islamic year or Hijrah. My parents decided to have a doa selamat/kenduri arwah to welcome the new year and also to remember and sedekah some prayers to family members and friends that have left us.
The family having some grub and catching up outside.
It was a family affair and close neighbors that we considered as our extended family were also invited. My grandmother, Tok Esah also came from Taiping together with my Aunty Anom with whom she lives with. The other usual suspects were also there.
Amanina is very fond of Ayah
My in-laws (Azhani's family) also came all the way from Bangi. I do miss them especially Eiman and Eisha with whom I've grown quite attached to. Thanks for coming mak, ayah, kak Ayu, abg Man and those little two kiddos.
It is always great to get the family together. Catching up, jokes, laughter and stories were all in abundance. It's really not that hard to get them all together at one place but each other schedules is the only thing that prevents it from being it a frequent event.

Great food, family was rocking as usual, weather was nice and cool, so what more can you ask for. It won't be long before another gathering will be on the cards.

It's tiring being a cutie pie as Amanina sleeps without a care in the world
Hi everybody, My name is Bo, I would like to tell my story. It all started one week ago. A few friends of mine that I knew all my life which I would never suspect them to be addicts were doing it last week and got me hooked on it. Without me knowing, they have been doing this for a couple of months now. They say they cannot go a week without it. At least they would do it once a day if possible.
I met them last week for a regular teh tarik session without knowing I would be an addict to the worse kind of addiction. We had our usual talk, silly stuff, nothing really specific then one of the pulled out the box of the addiction. I said I did not want to have anything to do with it but they kept pushing me to try it and I would like it once I tried it.
I caved in to the pressure and tried it. I got hooked. Then I wanted more. And more. I started buying it myself. Selling at RM19.90 a box, its cheap. I got others hooked onto it. My brothers, my wife and other friends. I am sorry to them for dragging them into this.

Here is my poison.......the Monopoly Deal Card Game.
The Monopoly Deal Card Game is a shortened version of the popular board game. The game is addictive that once you've played it, you want to play it more and more. We had our hits anytime and anywhere. Mamak, McD, in the car, hotel lobbies..you name it. It can be easily bought at any Toys R' Us stores or MPH or any reputable toy store. They shouldn't be selling these addictions in such places.
when we were having our fix
I was on the straight and narrow road before you arrived but now I am on a spiral downwards to destruction. Damn you Monopoly Deal Card Game!!!!
Yesterday, I went to war....on a Tuesday! The whole of Tune Talk (www.tunetalk.com) came together at Canyon Paintball, located at Kota Damansara (inside The Club) for a war amongst ourselves. Yes...against each other. The whole event was set up as a team building exercise. Great! I can finally break my paintball virginity.
Canyon Paintball battlefield
We were split into two teams, Team A & Team B, my team. Wish we had thought of more gempak or more creative names for our teams but pretty names don't win you the war. Tune Groundshakers would had Team A quacking in their boots.
The weaklings........ Team A
The strong and mighty..... Team B (me on the left with war face on)
We were briefed by David from Canyon Paintball on the rules of paintball. "Sock off !, mask on!" and "Sock on!, mask off!" were ringing in my ears throughout. The other most important rule was NEVER take of your head gear. A stray pallet would make you lose your eyesight. Although it is miles different then the real thing, the marshalls want you to think it is a real war. I think it's a good thing cos in a real battle, you lose your life.
David giving us the briefing
After the briefing, we were brought to the battlefield. We went through 3 scenarios:
1st Scenario: Free for all
The team that has the most team members still alived after the buzzer, was the victor. My team, Team B won. I didn't get shot and managed to hit 3 members of Team A. Team A zero ; Team B 1. Nice start.
2nd Scenario: Capture the Flag
The first team to capture the flag wins. Don't you know it. Team B won again. The ever gung ho, Jason Lo captured the flag and again we were victorious. Team A NIL; Team B 2. Bring it!!!
3rd Scenario: Command and Conquer
The first team to touch or get over the other's team's wall is the winner. They had a time limit of 15 minutes for 2 games each for this scenario. I became a bit Rambo in this scenario. I ran down the middle with the gun blazing but got shot before I got to their wall. But I managed to shoot 3 people on my way. I was out in a blaze of glory.Nice!
Both teams shared the spoils for the 3rd scenario. It was a good fight. I liked the last scenario. Maybe due to my Rambo-ness.
Then, we all went back to base camp to see what the damage was. My final score was 6 killed at my hands and I got 5 "souvenirs". I realised that the pallets that did not burst hurt more than those that did burst. Arrggghh!!!
Then, we had a little Xmas exchange gift among ourselves. Jason gave out the gifts ala Santa. The whole thing was a "Secret Santa" type of thing. So, now one knew who gave what to whom.
I got a box of Fererro Rocher. Thank you to the secret santa. But I was kinda sad getting them cos I know I wont get to have one once my wife sets her sight on them. Bummer!
Life is like a box of chocolates...

Us with our "One Lick" coupons...hahaha..
All in all, it was a great team building success. Everyone had a blast and some got blasted.....by me. Will do it again if given the chance.
