Malaysia juara Sukan SEA selepas 20 tahun menunggu



Sejak pagi lagi, topic hot yang menjadi bualan rakyat Malaysia (bukan topic Zizie Izette nak kahwin dengan menteri) ialah final Sukan SEA antara Malaysia dan Vietnam. Masuk kereta, pasang radio aje, terus radio topic atau persoalan yang di bincangkan, "bolehkah Malaysia tamatkan darurat 20 tahun?"

Seronok juga dengar komen-komen pemanggil ttg final ni. Sambutan ini menunjukkan rakyat Malaysia mmg sentiasa menyokong sukan bolasepak Malaysia. Tetapi selalu di kecewakan. Tapi tidak lagi.

Tadi setelah boss di office bagi chance balik awal, dengan cepatnya aku pick-up isteri yang sarat mengandung tu dan merentas traffic jam Federal Highway yang mmg takkan surut. Dalam kereta perbualan ini berlaku:

Aku: Ish..derang nih tak nak tgk Malaysia main final ke?

Isteri: Alaa...takyah tgklah awak. Kalau ramai-ramai tengok mesti Malaysia kalah.

Aku: Mana ada camtu..ishh..apsal mamat depan nih slow sangat?

Isteri: Bola tu tetap bulat lah awak..tak payah lah rushing...

Aku: Ye sayang....!@##$@$ (dalam nada perlahan di tujukan pada pemandu-pemandu lain yang slow)

Sampai rumah..on tv....baru half time. Score 0 - 0. Fuhh. Still ok nih. Ada chance nih. Sempat buat air and amik kerepek dari tin Milo besar kat dapur tu.

2nd half start. Malaysia buat serangan pertama. Sikit lagi. Sayang, seribu kali sayang (bak kata Hj Hasbullah Awang). Akupun terus tgk dgn asyik dan akhirnya saat yang diidamkan muncul. GOAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!
Jaringan dari Safiq Rahim pada minit ke 85. Malaysia 1 - Vietnam 0.

5 minit je lagi. Bertahan!! Vietnam humban semua ke arah gol Malaysia. Minit 90. 4th official angkat time board.....6 minit masa tambahan???!!!! WTF!!?!? Apa kau ingat ni macam Man Utd lwn Man City ke??

Tapi aku amik ini sebagai tanda baik sebab Man Utd menang selepas 6 minit tu..Glory Glory!! (sempat lagi tu). Pemain-pemain Malaysia pulak cuba bersungguh2 utk membuat semua rakyat Malaysia sakit jantung dgn membuang bola. Peganglah bola tu. Bukan dengan tangan tapi jgnlah sepak merata-rata.

Priit priiit prriiiiiiitttt!!! Tiupan wisel pengadil yang akhirnya menandakan berakhirnya penantian Malaysia dan seluruh rakyat Malaysia selama 20 tahun. 20 tahun yang penuh dgn kekecewaan dan harapan-harapan palsu. Malaysia kini juara!!!


Tahniah kepada K.Rajagopal, jurulatih yang amat down to earth (tak spt coach Malaysia yang terakhir tu yang sekarang jadi jurulatih Kelantan) & juga terutama sekali pemain-pemain Malaysia yang bermain dgn corak permainan yang boleh di banggakan.



Diharapkan kemenangan ini boleh dibina untuk lebih banyak kejayaan. 

Syabas Malaysia! Malaysia Boleh!!.... Akhirnya.

Ramly Burger is now Dato' Ramly Burger




Tuan Haji Ramly Moknin was conferred the title Dato' by the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah in conjunction with the Sultan's 64th Birthday celebration last week.

I think it is about time that this Malaysian institution is given the recognition that it deserves. All Malaysians know the awesome taste of a juicy Ramly Burger Special. A little bit background story on  the Ramly Burger. It started off as a small family business operating from a cart at Lorong Haji Hussain in Kuala Lumpur. Seeing that their family recipe was a big hit with the masses, Haji Ramly Moknin and his wife Puan Hajjah Shalah Siah Abdul Manap setup a meat processing factory and called it Ramly Food Processing. From there on, a legend was born.

Again, I would like to congratulate Dato' Haji Ramly Moknin on this proud moment for him and his family.

Gelak-Gelak

Orang tua kata kalau kita gelak selalu, nanti hati keras atau gelap. Tapi sekali sekala, gelak ni boleh tolong hilangkan stress dalam hidup harian kita. Ada bukti mengatakan ia baik untuk kesihatan.

Terjumpa video nih dan terus tak boleh stop gelak. Bila tengok bayi ni gelak sebab sehelai kertas yang koyak, kita rasa hidup kita sebenarnya simple sahaja. Cuma perlu tahu di mana perlu kita berhenti, tarik nafas atau gelak atau pun senyum.

Enjoy the video.




Malaysia Boleh!!!! We are in the SEA Games Football final



We beat the host team 3 - 1 in the final. K.Rajagopal's boys played a hard fought match against a solid Laotian team who were backed by almost a full capacity stadium.

The last time Malaysia played in the final was in 2001 when the games were held in Kuala Lumpur and last won the football gold in 1989 also in Kuala Lumpur when the national team was under the guidance of Trevor Hartley.

Malaysia's goals were scored by Baddrol Bakhtiar who scored twice in the 14th and 79th minute. Safiq Rahim scored the final goal in the 85th minute.

Our boys will meet the Vietnam team that had beaten Malaysia in the group stages.

Come on boys! Bring back the goal. Malaysia Boleh!!!!


My Simple Ways to Budget and Managing Money



That is most of us at the end of the month, that is even IF we manage to get there. Some of us are even THERE within 5 days after we get our salary. Where did our hard earned money gone??? I just got it, but now its....GONE!!!

Most of us have gone through this almost every month and it really sucks. No money = sucks. It's as simple as that. From what I can see, these penniless times can be avoided with a little bit of education and also a little bit of common sense. I'll try to share my wisdom and my two cents (well..i'll give you a penny, i'll keep the other penny if that's okay with you) on budgeting and savings based on my own practice and experiences.


1st Step: Write Down Your Expense
You need to know where your financial standing is on a monthly basis. Yup. Its a one step thing, man. So, keep your cool. Rome was not built in a day. Okay now, write down your monthly expenses based on these classes of expenses

Fixed Monthly Expenses
  • average monthly petrol, toll and parking paid, 
  • average utility (water,electricity,phone), 
  • credit card bills, 
  • loan payments (house, car, study etc),
  • average monthly total spent for food at work
  • money given to parents, 
  • average monthly groceries purchases, 
  • ASTRO (IF you own one) and internet (again, IF you have it).
   
Entertainment & Luxury Items
  • movies
  • sports (futsal, bowling etc)
  • dining out (teh tarik sessions, family outing)
Savings
  • the amount depends after you calculate both the expenses above.
  • the rule is, should be 10% of your income. the more, the better!!
2nd Step: How Much You Earn Monthly? Be honest, don't cheat!

  • If you have a fixed income, then that's fine. But if you have an up and down income, take the average. Take into account each sen. Even part time jobs count!
3rd Step: Add up and Subtract 
  • Add up your expenses & savings, then deduct it from your income. Now you will have a real picture of your expenses.
  • Here is where you can decide where you can cut down on or even take out all together. For example, rather than going to McD every week, make it once every 2 weeks. I myself go there ONCE a month (usually after month end accounts closing) but sometimes I don't even go there. Its true!
4th Step: Stick to the Game Plan & Stop Impulse (Mengikut kata hati) Buying
  • After the 3rd step above, you know where you can cut down or take out. Now, you must stick to the plan,
  • stop buying on impulse. Even buying a pack of Wrigleys chewing gum at the check out counter will throw you off your budget.
5th Step: Now you Have Your Budget
  • Now you have a plan, a budget..so stick with it! Write down for a whole month your ACTUAL expenditure. See whether your budget is on the dot or adjustments need to be made. Then after a month, revised your budget to make it better for your savings side, NOT your spending side.
Ok. Now, I have shared the 1st step on how I manage my money. I will share with you later on how I make money through saving money. So far, I have managed to buy myself a car, paid for my wedding  & honeymoon and bought a condo in Mutiara Damansara from this. See you later and keep on budgeting. Bye!


My Myvi

P/S: Let me know whether my ways work for you or if you have other ideas /suggestions on how you do your budgeting and savings. I am always eager to learn and apply.

NATS Family Day at Janda Baik



After a whole year working and managing the family, the NATS committee suggested that we have our own NATS Family Day. If you are wondering what is NATS. NATS is our very own little group of friends. You can visit our site www.nakatautaksaje.blogspot.com.

Moving on. Amru proposed that we do it at Janda Baik, off Genting Sempah. He says its ideal for families as there is proper changing rooms, surau and an open ground camping space. The rental for the place and food is only RM 25 per pax. So, its agreed. Janda Baik......here we come!!!

Saturday (yesterday) morning we met up at Shahrul's place around 6:30. Yeah...it was difficult for me to leave my comfy warm bed. But I got up, pack up and move out like a proud trooper. The Mrs. didn't follow as she had some family matters to attend in Bangi & also she is almost 5 months pregnant. Don't want to make her more uncomfortable as it is. So, she dropped me off and made her way.

One by one of the peeps arrived. Amru & Siti (plus Amru's apprentees Marina & Asfa), Zul & Mazlina plus the kids. Zareef was all excited that he wore his slippers on the wrong feet.


We made a quick breakfast pit stop at Gembira Restaurant Section 3 for breakfast and then off we go.

Wafi was also a part of our group going to Janda Baik but he wasn't at Shahrul's place as he was attending to his grandma who's in HUKM. We all praying that she get well soon. All our prayers are with her.



After a short stop at HUKM to pickup Wafi, we continued our way to Janda Baik. The place that we had rented is called Camp ABC. It holds training, seminars, team building events, bbqs, get togethers and other events of similar in nature. When we arrived, the place was very hilly, chilly but was refreshing and ultimately nice. We immediately unpack our gear and started to find a spot to pitch the tent (for the young ones). The guys were already giddy to plunge in when they saw the water. I on the other hand snooped around to see the sorroundings.




After enjoying ourselves to a refreshing cool dip, we had some games for the kiddies. It seemed the parents were more looking to it rather than the kids. We played bawak bola ping-pong dalam sudu, tiup tepung and carry your partner race. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Mostly the parents while the kids were trying to figure out what's happening.



 





We had our superb lunch at the camp's mess hall which we had BBQ chicken (Shahrul said it might have been marinated for 13 years, tummy), fried rice, fried kuey tiow, sausage links, veggies and some watermelons. It was included in the package that Amru had taken up. Thanks God, cos after the swin and the games, the last thing that we wanted to do was cooking.


After filling up, we continued the activities with some card and boardgames. The Guesstures boardgmae was a hit with everyone. We teamed up into 2 teams and slug it out. My team (Shahrul,Surini,Zul,Mazlina,Adik Ya and Zareef) won the game hands down. Shahrul & Zul were on the same wavelength from the start.




After the games, some of us went for a quick clean up, prayers and started to pack up for our journey back to Shah Alam. All in all, it was a success. Everyone had fun. We left our daily stresses behind and put our feet up.

Let's do it again next year. This time we"ll make it better than ever. Go NATS Family Day!!!

Tiger Woods Walks Away


Will Tiger come back?

The past two weeks must have been like hell on earth for the most famous golfer on the planet. The news that Tiger Woods,33 crashed his SUV into a fire hydrant and a tree at 2:25 am in front of his multi-million Isleworth, Florida home broke like wildfire across the world. It was alleged that he had a fight with his Swedish wife, Elin Nordegren, 29 about Tiger having an affair.

He was charged and fined $164 by the authorities for careless driving. That amount is spare change to him. Even the SUV that he wrecked would be just one of the number cars he have. But the real damage was to his reputation and most importantly his marriage.


For the past 15 years, Tiger has always say little to the press and let his golf do the talking for him. Tiger would always try to keep his personal life out of the eyes and ears of the public that put him in high esteem. People will be in awe of his presence for his elegance, precision and smart. But no more. Now his reputation as a "good guy" is forever ripped to shreds. Now he looks sloppy, dirty and dumb.


Last Friday, Tiger made a statement on his official website  www.tigerwoods.com that read, " I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children". He goes to add on, " After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf. I need to focus my attention to being a better husband, father and person". I personally think this is the smartest decision that he ever made on or off the golf course.


It has emerged since then that Tiger have been having several extra-marital affairs. All the "birdies" that he have put in have come out and told their stories. Text messages, videos and short stories are being told by there money grabbing girls that don't realized that the happiness of a young family is in danger. Greed is the main order of the day for these slutty girls.




 Rachel Uchitel, first uncovered birdie

Tiger's decision to take an indefinite break would be a huge loss to the game of golf but when push comes to shove, the happiness of his two young children, Sam Woods and Charlie Woods, and also Elin's are the most important. Tiger has made money from the game and I personally think that he has loss the love for the game. He will need all the focus that won him all those major, trophies, money and accolades to rebuild his reputation and importantly the trust between him and Elin.




 The Woods family in better times


So, I applaud Tiger's decision to focus on what that really matters. I'll raise my glass to him for that.

Selangor Increases Mas Kahwin to RM 300. WTH!!!!



Just watched Buletin Utama on TV3 and the news that really got my attention was that those who wants to get married in Selangor would need to pay RM 300 (minimum) for mas kahwin and no ceiling rate (leaving this  to the discretion of the marrying couple). That's almost a 200% increase from the RM 80 previously set for mas kahwin.

The JAIS officer said that it was high time that the rate was increased. WTH!! Maybe because me being a guy would think this increment is going to be a burden to the men. It's already enough parents these days set high dowry payments for their daughters hand (jual anak), then you get this announcement?  I hope guys out there don't start to turn to snatching, burglary or other crimes in order to find cash just to get married. I'm really glad that I got married this year. And yes, my wife is from Selangor. Dodged a bullet there.

My advice to those who plan to get married......go and look outside of Selangor. It's just not worth it.

My First Nuffnang Payment

A few months ago, I received my first payment from Nuffnang. It wasn't that much but seeing that this was my first chance to cash out, I cashed out once it reached the limit. I didn't photocopy the actual cheque but do still have the payment advice.



Since this first cheque from Nuffnang, I have received a few more payments.  So, far getting extra money is very nice *smile*


It pays to say what you want to say or what you are passionate about.So,thanks Nuffnang!!! The cash would be very handy when me and my wife welcome the new addition to our small family in May next year.

P/S: My nuffnang earnings for last week haven't been updated. Do other nuffnangers got their's updated yet??

Bad Day singer Daniel Powter named Decades One Hit Wonder



Canadien singer/songwriter Daniel Powter who stayed at the No 1 spot  with the song "Bad Day" on the Billboards charts for 5 weeks in 2006 was today named as decade's top one hit wonder. The criteria for an act (person/group) is chosen is that their second hit wont reach the Top 25. The songs were judged for those coming out between year 2000 - 2007.

This song was popular as the "going home" song on American Idol. Powter took a couple of years off after Bad Day before producing his next album.

To me, it is a good solid, catchy song describing an average guy/girl's day. Plus, it has a great video music featuring Samaire Armstrong. She was the only reason I watched The OC during its first season.

Nice

Dont remember which song? Here is the music video.

Sup Gearbox - suatu nikmat.

Saya akan membiarkan gambar-gambar ini menceritakan experience saya dalam menghabiskan sup gerabox hasil dari korban pada tempoh hari.




 Daging lembut setelah di peram setengah hari di dalam sup




Sum-sum tulang yang hanya tunggu di sedut 


Gearbox yang hanya menunggu untuk di makan



Setelah daging-daging di habiskan


Gearbox yang hanya tinggal tulang


Silalah berkongsi pengalaman anda dengan sup gearbox. Di kedai mana yang sedap dan pengalaman anda menghabiskannya.
