Musical chairs atas Federal Highway


Hari ni dalam driving nak balik rumah, ternampak lori ni bawak kerusi-kerusi plastik susun tinggi menggunung. Yang aku pelik tu kenapa tak susun rendah lagi sebab ada aje space untuk susun kerusi tu. Kalau jatuhlah keluar lori tu, naya karang sesiapa yang terkena.

Korang rasa kerusi-kerusi ini berterabur tak atas jalan?

Cari extra income guna bakat yang ada...


Aku selalu dengar kawan-kawan mengeluh tak cukup duit, gaji tak cukup, harga barang naik tapi gaji tak naik dan macam-macam lagi. Basically, diorang mengeluh sebab gaji tak cukup.

Tapi pernah ke korang pernah terfikir yang kita boleh guna bakat-bakat atau skil yang ada pada kita untuk cari extra income setiap bulan? Walaupun takdelah best macam ada business sendiri atau jadi boss, tetapi sekurang-kurangnya ada lebih sekeping dua duit dalam wallet dari wallet kosong.


Pengalaman aku dulu masa time belajar aku buat kerja catering part time. Memang ada orang rasa kerja tu rendah atau leceh, tapi korang tahu tak selalunya server catering nih selalunya boleh dapat RM30 - RM 100 untuk satu acara? Kalau satu weekend kerja satu acara aje dapat..hhmm..katakan RM50, sebulan dah RM 200. Itu baru 1 acara, kalau rajin pergi 3-4 acara satu weekend, dah berapa dah tu? Pengalaman aku dulu, aku alhamdulillah boleh dapat RM500-800 sebulan. Siapa nak bagi tu, especially pada student cam aku.

Satu lagi cara aku cari extra income ialah aku jadi coach tenis. Aku dulu ada lah wakil tenis untuk negeri masa time sekolah menengah dan ada juga masuk tournament. Aku guna skil dan pengalaman aku main tenis dengan buat tenis kelas untuk budak sekolah dan orang dewasa yang nak belajar tenis. Dahlah suka tenis, dapat sihat kan badan & paling best dapat extra income. Sekarang aku ingat nak start balik ajar tenis kalau ada yang minat. Aku memang tengah cari students. Kalau ada yang berminat, bagitaulah ye.

So, itulah. Lebih baik kita kreatif sikit dalam cari duit extra daripada asyik mengeluh. Mungkin ada yang boleh jual dadih ke (hantar kat kedai dekat rumah), tolong type document untuk orang lain (selalunya student selalu cari orang yang sanggup buat kerja ni), ambil gambar untuk surat khabar dan macam-macam lagi. Apalagi, berhenti mengeluh dan usahalah.

The lure of the iPhone and its apps


Lately, Digi has been aggressively promoting its iPhone 3GS. I think their ads are really effective because even I am contemplating of getting one for myself. Let me tell you that I never like the phone and only think of it as an accessory or fad item. I am more of a practical & " I only need the neccessary & practicality is the best" type of guy. Yeah, boring. My current phone is the Nokia E71. The E71 is practical, sturdy and so far for me, complete.

But lately, the variety types of applications that is available on the iPhone (seen on the Digi ads) has made me re-think my views on this Apple creation. The apps (from my short research) can range from the most incredible to the uttermost silly.


I am doing my research on how to get my hands on an affordable iPhone that would at least satisfy my curiosity on this supposedly great creation of Apple. Should I get a basic old generation version or go for the latest and break the bank while I'm at it? The hunt is still on.

Movie Review: How To Train Your Dragon


Movie date with the wife before she delivers our first child in a couple of weeks. So, we decided to go for Dreamworks' latest offering "How To Train Your Dragon".

Superb storyline, brilliant animations, amazing imagination and great fun. Those are my words to describe this movie. We went for this movie not thinking that it would be that great but left being in awe of the whole movie.


The movie is set in the Viking town called Berk and is about Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) who is the son of the Viking Leader, Stoick (Gerrard Butler). Hiccup, who looks weak compared to the other vikings who are burley and gruff. He happened to accidently caught a Night Fury, a dragon that he later named Toothless.

Hiccup, who is also an apprentice blacksmith to Gobber (Craig Ferguson) was taught that killing dragons is the viking way of life. He later on learned that this is not really it should be after developing a relationship with Toothless. He learnt the ways of the dragons and became a sort of friend to them. Hiccup also made a love connection with a tomboy Viking, Astrid (America Ferrara). Romance part, check!


The storyline just makes your inner child take over. Although the Scottish accent isn't exactly correct (it's totally incorrect, Vikings are Scandinavians for crying out loud!), but just take a second and realize that this is a kid's movie that will surely make you reconnect with your inner child. The imagination put into the movie, for example the silly looking dragons would also make your imagination wonder.

A great movie to bring your kids and the whole family.  And I promise you that you'll have fun too. I promise.

P/s: The movie was really fun that even my unborn child did not stop moving in his mum's belly. Brilliant.
