Hail Malaysia: 4-2 over Indonesia at AFF Suzuki Cup!

It is one of my greatest regret not being able to watch them play live at the Bukit Jalil stadium. After watching the match at Indonesia at one of my friend's house I cannot say anything else but ride on my bike tour around to see the celebration happening at KL city.

I was so amazed seeing the groups at one of a traffic light juncture in Cheras - all wearing the yellow national squad shirt and honoring our flag while shouting the Malaysia Boleh! solgan, everyone else was cheering - that moment brought strangers together.

Well, I am not going to write much but to continue riding in KL to see more of the celebration.

Malaysia Boleh!

Finally I can see A Better Malaysia!

Update 25/12/2010

Well, I am glad to say that I am still unemployed after Two (2) Weeks search for a decent job. I have to say that securing a job is not something that everybody finds in the list of their likings. But, at this moment I am still waiting for some response, whether from government or the private sector - whichever comes first.

I am not so frustrated being at this position as yesterday I learned from one recruitment consultant that it is normal at the end of year, employers are not looking for admission of new employees but rather to attend to other matters such as closing of account, giving of bonuses, and many other affairs of a company.

It is also not a bad news, now not being able to get a job, I work on my own as a computer specialist, dealing primarily into repairs of computers and laptops, formatting, and many other related services. I find myself happy doing this business as although I am fresh, I have began to have my own frequent customers who continues to give me more business opportunities.

Maybe one of the reason that why, customers are coming fast is that because I offer a very cheap price for repairs and formatting. Recently I went to a computer repair shop and inquire about how much they charge for workmanship alone - it's RM 45-00, excluding the percentage that they will take from the hardware replacement and other charges. I said to myself, fuck - it's damn expensive. As for me, my price is far below market price, for computer repairs I only charge RM 30-00 for all kinds of repairs no matter how difficult it is. Please look below to have a clear comparison of my price and market price:

MARKET


format & drivers - RM 60.00;
repairs                - RM 45.00 (workmanship);
hardware            - (hardware original price + percentage); &
transportation     - customers' own initiative.


MY PRICE


format & drivers - RM 40.00;
repairs                - RM 30.00;
hardware            - only hardware original price (even original receipt is given to customer!); &
transportation      - RM 10.00.

So, maybe from what I offer above, no wonder why I receive customers so fast and at a constant and increased rate. I am quite satisfied that I am able to sell something below market price!

Aside from above, right now, I have just had a meeting with the father of one of my friend concerning being an insurance agent. After the meeting, I am quite surprised that insurance agent do make good money - depending on how hardworking they are.

From that moment, I thought I should take this insurance business to be my part time jobs. If we look into this matter, insurance is something where you buy - those who has an insurance will benefit. Look at the world today, cost are rising, government hospitals are offering below par standard service and most important is today is the day where to secure some saving is extremely difficult.

To look at it, given these problems, insurance is a good way to secure any man living in today's world. If one finds it difficult to save - they can save through insurance as more personal financial discipline can be imposed. If one jumps into mischief - trouble, insurance is there to cover for hospital bills and even give you daily allowance by staying at hospital alone as you are not working. I something bad happened to you - no worries, insurance is there to back you up.

I myself will take an insurance next months, a bit on savings and investment - I am still young I may not opt for medical insurance - maybe there's no need for it, right now - I guess...

It is not easy to make a choice about your work...

I has been three years and six months time for by Bachelor of Legal Studies, which supposedly end within that three years but I took extra six months to get it done. Still I am not sure what is the outcome, these two last subjects is giving me all the headache as to the time you have to extend in order to complete this degree.

I can say that those who extend at the end of their degree time - they lost many things as I do, most of all, friends, they are not gone forever, it is just that they go on their separate ways as we and those who pass in time just do not have the same concern.

I am still waiting for my results for these last two subjects, one of which is my third seating paper, I do not know, how it is possible for me to sit for this paper three times and the other one of which I spoiled on study before exams. It's pain to fail a paper that you cannot find a way to fail.

But there are some good news despite being a loner now, extension with only two subjects allowed me to work and I have gotten myself my first property that is my bike, quite expensive, but I am dying to afford to pay for this bike now. Every time I look at my pain all the pain is just gone, compensated by its beauty, it is like your love when you love something you brace the pain and you love doing it.

Now, I am at a crossroad, to figure what to do afterward. It's weird that I used to forecast and devise plans for others but when it comes to me facing my own options - I am unable to decide, I do not know what I want. What I am sure of and make me move is that in this world all of us will have things to bear and to be accountable for. This is the only reason - as for now - give strength for me to continue.

I love my new bike!

Not just that it's nice and it's fast too, I had the chance of tapauing one yamaha fz150i at seremban highway recently, that bike dont stand a chance!


But of course, my bike cannot tapau superbike, the same day from melaka, while i was speeding at 150km/h at the highway, two kawasaki ninja er-6f coming from behind, they are damn fast, I was down a bit then and took the left lane, what to do, I swear to good, when i'm a bit settle in my life, i'm going to buy a suzuki hayabusa or equivalent to that.

But seriously, the speed of my bike i decent, i can chase a malaysian waja, of course with a lot of effort with the winds coming on my face. I realise that, my free helmet don't offer much help, when i'm fast, there's tendency for the helmet to come off but still better than i had with me previously.

But people say, the speedometer on the bike is not that accurate, the reading fastest i've gone so far is 200km/h but I can say that in that moment you hear nothing but wind blasting your body and i get scared easily, cars that are so far away getting close to you real fast.

Now, I do speed but not to that extent (200km/h), only when necessary. On cornering, I still have yet to master how to do it fast, I think i should take it slowly, if accident, need money to repair the bike some more, hahhaa... but still today at federal highway at the exit pusat bandar shah alam, i tried that corner, not so fast around 70-80km/h, the feeling is orgasmic! hahaha...

now i do not know what to say some more, in simple, the speed is making me crazy!

Rokok price hike: Good thing but bad for me!

It was yesterday that I had the chance to buy my last pack of winston-red-20's (hope this will be the last), I prepared enough MYR 7.80 and I was informed by the shop guy, "...not any more, now it's MYR 8.50..", in my heart I said "WTF!", then immediately I tender extra cash for it.

"Insane!", the proper word to use to describe this hike, but what can all smokers do, it's not a good thing (to smoke) after all. Now, I'm setting my mind to quit smoking, what I do, I roll the cigarette myself, hope by the time comes, I should be able to lead this life cigarette free.

Those who know me out there, pray for my success, truly I can save a lot by not smoking winston today. I save MYR 8-50 today, that's a great value, hahaha...

my new bike: kawasaki kips 150cc

i just can stop myself from telling people that i'm buying this new bike...

initially, what i had in mind was that i should have one nice bike for me to as i'm giving up using car as the cost is too much to bear (toll/gas/maintenance/road tax & insurance), unless i own myself a brand new car with less maintenance problem...

i inform my father about it, he was mad at me, telling me not to buy a new bike, but, i've been saving to buy a new car, now that i don't want a car, i want a bike instead, i hope he'll forgive me for chasing my dream and believing in it...

not long ago i place an order for yamaha fz150i, i was so excited as nothing much that i know about this bike except that it has a nice mean naked look, not long afterwards, i discovered that they are few other bikes that close in price range that is better than this lc upgrade version of yamaha (honda cbr 150/ kawasaki ninja 250r)...

one of my friend suggested that i should get a nice beginners sport bike (kawasaki ninja 250r), i was on the lookout for almost a week, luckily it was not too late for me to discover that the cash otr price for this 250r kiwi bike is rm 22,800-00 - which is totally beyond what i can afford...

then the second day of raya, i had the chance to meet one of my cousin, an ex rempit, he suggested me that it is such a waste if i buy the yamaha fz150i, he explained the details, among others, not fast (p/s: this kiwi krr 150 can go up to 205km/h!) - i was quite suprised, immediately i changed my order to this kiwi kips bike fr rm 10,000-00 otr...

check the speed of this bike of this youtube video:

test speed krr 150

now, i can sleep in peace, while waiting for exams to come, i'm also waiting for my kips to come out soon maybe a week from now, i am just too happy to keep this to myself, so take a look at the pics below, to see the rough idea:-

yamaha fz150i: otr rm 8500-00

 kawasaki ninja 250r: otr rm 22,800-00

my choice, kawasaki ninja krr 150: otr rm 10,000-00

Oppurtunity/ Peluang

I am taking this opportunity to wish all Malaysians Happy Ramadhan, Selamat Hari Raya and Maaf Zahir dan Batin.

I hope this Ramadhan and Raya, we will take this great opportunity to ask forgiveness amongst ourselves regardless what we may believe.

Always remember, for a country like ours, the only way for us to be strong is by embracing diversity.

I hope all readers can pray for my success in my coming final examinations and any future undertakings.

For A Better Malaysia!

Rising Cost of Living: Danger to us all...

Again, it has been a long time since i opened this blog, but I cannot prevent myself from writing this one.

To think about it, I can feel how the grip of inflation is strangling my neck and ours. God, what happened?

I came across one ads in the paper, Berita Harian today about some investment scheme for retirement, about how your children cannot, in the future, support you as everything when it comes to money is not the same as before, the money the we and/or they get is not enough for them alone.

I find that nowadays, its very difficult to secure a job, a decent one. Even if you've secured one in my field, law, still, it cannot in some ways, accommodates you - comforts. I heard, salary for a lawyer, beginning is only around RM 2,000-00. Think again, you might want to buy a car, a house, insurance (life, car-related, and others), utility(s)' costs, and daily consumption. Looking at these, you think how much a person can save for a month from what he gets?

Tun Dr. Mahathir recently said that, raising the income of the mass - has its drawbacks, specifically on the devaluating of our currency. He proposes that it's not the salary of the mass that should be increased but, the capability of our legal tender (money) to afford more things than what it can afford now. Seriously, I'm missing on this, hope, anyone can explain how it works.

I've also came across this notion of expansionary monetary policy, where the government spend for material developments so that the economy grows, opening more opportunities to the people to work and have more money.

I've also came across that people say, now there are too many players already in any business field, which makes a person who try from scratch to be a big one, is totally difficult. I say this is a bad luck to the current young generations.

It's disappointing to hear all of these, one man also said to me, nowadays the best thing to do is, to get a job and not to do business. He said, it's better one obtains a secured income and with moderate spending, so that saving is a reality. This is to me so discouraging, I don't know how to put it.

All in all, I don't know what I am trying to say, what is clear to me is that, "alamak, susahla macam ni"...

PM Najib Tun Razak

I just want to share will all who reads this blog about our current prime minister. It has been awhile since the last time that I make comments about our politics. Because of that I may not be as critical as I once before.

I believe that the announcement made by the PM recently, giving a hint that election will be near, is a correct approach to be taken by Barisan Nasional. As you can see, the economy is improving, job markets continue to slowly improve in a way that it offer (slowly) job opportunities to the people. The general community at large has reasonable power of buying, making small businesses continue to stay on the fight. All in all, I say the economy is getting better, with a lot of offer by the government to lure investors and to create an utopia of business here.

Looking at the opposition, I believe that they are stupid, primarily because they are given 5 years time to prove that they are worthy government to few states, but they failed, they are unable to prevent the power strike and respect upon each others decision about what is best for the state. Although the states concerned performed well, I must say that political discrepancy is very dangerous in any political structure as it will likely to affect the state as well.

I do not understand why, these people are so week, come on, 5 years is not so long for them to sustain, be strong on each other, tolerate the pain - in facing challenges from the Barisan Nasional aligned party. Now that they have failed.

LLB oh LLB...

I am sure that almost everyone who take law degree in itm Shah Alam would have the desire to pursue the LLB one year course but I must say that I feel sad as now I am among those who are now stranded with various reasons.

But people say, there's 'hikmah' at the end of the road, yeah that is true also as now i have a decent job, and the pay through time is gettin decent everyday - somehow this help me to get rid of this disappoinment...

I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate all my fren and the people that i know for their success of taking llb this semester, i pray that they have success and a great future a head...

thank you...
