HAPPY NEW YEAR

Goodbye 2011... Welcome 2012!

Like the blink of the eye, it has now come to the final day of 2011. So much has happened and yet so little reward. Lets move on and look forward to a better 2012.

Insyaallah...

My 1st Eagle

Wow! What a way to end 2011... I had my 1st EAGLE! It was at the par 4 hole 7 Southern course Staffield in Mantin. After a safe 200m drive, the ball landed at the 90m mark downhill as I had planned. I took my PING Sand iron and hit it the ball crisp and perfect. It landed nicely about 10 feet above the hole and saw it roll down and disappeared into the hole. EAGLE!

My 1st eagle has landed! and as Pak Lan puts it... it may be the 1st and last eagle he'll ever see LIVE while playing. I want to believe him... ;)

Passing of a friend

It was indeed a sad morning today. At about 9am we received a call to inform us that one of our golfing friends - Ir. Zainudin Omar better known as CheDin (red arrow), has passed away @ Columbia Hospital Bandar Tun Hussein Onn. Unconfirmed report says he died of a heart attack.

Just last week he suffered a heart burnt during a golf game @ Meru Valley in Ipoh. The picture and reports that were sent to my Blackberry shows that its a serious thing. In fact, last Saturday I had told a friend that CheDin's predicament looks serious. Perhaps its a time bomb waiting to explode.

And this morning he left us in shocked!

I had known him for just a short period. The Medan golf trip many moons ago was the closest I had been with him. He looks ok. Slim and healthy. However, when its time... its time!

God loves him more. And reminds us that life is short and sudden.

RIP CheDin! Al-Fatihah

RIP Gary Speed

Gary Speed is dead at 42! Read here. Its a shocking news to many football fans including yours truly. I'm not so much of a player's fan. But in the case of Gary Speed, I remembered him as being one of the nicest footballer who doesn't come out in the news in a negative way. In fact, as the manager of Wales, he was doing very well. His team was on a 3-games winning streak. Something that the Welsh team has not done in many many moons. Honestly, I was looking forward to see Gary Speed lead his team to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Unfortunately, that will never happen. Life is so short. We all will die someday. RIP Gary Speed

Nice try...

Hahahaha... this is cool, absurd, stupid all in 1!!!

Nice try bro! ;)

Its a WIN!

Even if it's ugly...

Quoting my friend's comment on Facebook, "...It doesn't matter what the total gold tally is, what counts is the football gold..."



Roar Tigers ROARRRRRRRR!






This guy is awesome! Go far young man...






It wasn't pretty, but it's good enough to NGAP! them for the 26th SEA Games football gold. Read here.

Great job boys! Dont stop. Move on many steps better. Impossible Is Nothing!

SEA GAMES 2011 - JAKARTA PALEMBANG

The 26th edition of the South East Asia region biennial games (SEA Games) have been surrounded by controversies before it even started. Corruptions accusations and charges were aplenty leading up to the event. At some point in time, there were doubts whether the game's venues would be ready on time especially in Palembang.

There's this case of the former treasurer of Indonesia's Democrat Party arrested in Colombia after weeks on the run following corruption allegations. He is accused of accepting bribes worth almost $3m (£1.8m) in connection with tenders for the SEA Games venues and others. Muhammad Nazaruddin (pic left), 32, was detained in Cartagena city after an international manhunt recently. Read here

In the first week of the games, media reported plenty of issues pertaining to the management and operational of the games. From the lack of information of changed venues and times to the bias judging for combat sports to the media center being located on the 5th floor of a local bank in Palembang to lack of security and to the unsporting and bias games officials at Jakabaring Aquatic Center in Palembang (again!) A lot more can be mentioned but I've decided to stop at this point ;)

Nevertheless, amidst all the issues the games went on without any serious interruptions and all in the name of SEA brotherhood solidarity and harmony.

However, a new issue came up today. Which I find it amusing and really funny. It was reported that "The organisers had prepared 300 bicycles for the athletes and their officials to travel around the Jakabaring Sport city and many have been stolen due to lack of security..." Read here

OMG! This is really funny... ;)

Lets hope Naypyidaw, the new capital of Myanmar, will do a better job hosting in the 27th edition of SEA Games in 2013

Mudah2an...

Hope she'll be successful here. Go Fari!

Some fun...

Macam2 orang buat to have fun in life...




Pilih... nak masuk jail? spital? or mampus trus? Hahaha



Bagi mereka yg masih blur... ;)



Betul gak eh... ;)



Apa bunya bahasa da.... ;)



Masok sorga la gamak nya si anak ni... ;)

SYABAS!

SYABAS! CONGRATULATIONS!

To the Malaysian U23 for making it to the final of the Sea Games football competition once again.

Well done boys!

However, Malaysia's football is still a long shot to be amongst the best in the region. Mentally n physically not strong. On the hindsight, the backs were awesome. So is the 17 year old midfielder Nazmi. Damn cool for a 17 year old boy. Reminds me of Jan Molby ;)

Abraham Lincoln is Alive!!!

Look at him? Damn!!! He looks familiar isn't he?

Yeah... Abraham Lincoln is alive & serving! hahaha

Come to Cozy Place @ Wangsa Maju and if you are lucky, you'll get to be served by Abraham Lincoln ;)

Cacat Otak

Some people can be so very sickening in the head. Somehow they just couldn't be bothered with rules and regulations.Best of all, they just dont care. The 'kiasu' attitude breeds well. I win. Don't care la about others.

These picture here is a reflection of this sickening attitude some people have.



Lets hope & pray that this bad attitude stops at them only.

Habis Oredi Ma...

Even if u come a minute late and all d food is gone... sorry ma, we don't serve u.

Please read carefully

Your Updates Can Wait

Reminder to me and us all...

Coffee On Da Move

I think its a creative & brilliant idea!

However, quality and hygiene are of utmost important.

As Life Goes On...

Thinking of how short life is & how vulnerable it can be. Even to the fittest. When He says its time, its time.

It was Steve Jobs recently.

Now its Joe Frazier...







Emmmm... Hope I'll have a peaceful death ;)

Attitude

I postponed posting this article for quite some time. However, after reading a friend's blog on traffic jam on Malaysian highway, I thought its time to publish this.

In my humble opinion, Malaysians can be very inconsiderate when it comes to road safety. Once behind the wheels, they become less sympathetic to the world surrounding them. Somehow, the Kiasu attitude and the "if you cannot beat them, join them" attitude is the order of the day when they are behind the wheels.

Recently on May 27, 2011, I stumbled across an inconsiderate situation at the highest authority to manage road safety and procedure ie. JPJ Wangsa Maju. Dah la tempat tu sibuk macam stock market with limited parking space, depa pi pulak buat "pesta jual beli" right at the main parking area. Easily 20++ parking bays taken for that activities which I don't think benefit the rakyat. Look here...



To add salt to the wound, ada pulok C230 Kompressor dok parking baikkkkkk punya in between parking for OKU and a yellow box right in front of the main entrance to Block A of JPJ Wangsa Maju. Belakang, ada la pulok JPJ triangle cone kat belakang C230 tu as if telling the public... "go away! dont get near this C230. it belongs to some VVIP that has special privilege here. even at the expense of an OKU!" See this...



Purghhh! They are really too much la.... Dato' KP JPJ, please la... don't let this happened again.

He's done it twice!

Here's my school classmate having his big day for the 2nd time... Congrats bro! Wish you all the best and everlasting love and marriage




The bridegroom with his golfing buddies

Golfing in style...

Living in style... golfing in style... in a helicopter ;)

Its not gonna come down dude!

Multiple weighing don't change the fact that its 80kg... damn!!! try harder ok ;)

I LIKEEEEE

I believed I've posted this issue before. But I kinda like the creative aspects of this. I think the local authority should encourage the creativity of these young people. Engage them into wall painting the city. Instead of the Ah Longs, the Astro's installers, the "Obat Kuat" advertising their services illegally on these empty spaces... Lets get these youth to express their creative minds on these walls. Let their creativity flow. There should of coz be the do's and dont's. You set the guidelines. But it must not be political. It must not be racial. It must not be religion. Coz all these creates issues in this multiracial abd religions country called Malaysia.

Remember the historical Pudu Jail mural? Cool... isnt it? ;)

Is it?

Doctors... Scientists... Dentists... Is it? ;)

Mind your English

Are you interesting? If you are interesting, please contact me lor... ;)




Excuse me thief... I steal from you aaaa... ;)

Oh Malaysians!

Hello! Can we park our vehicles properly? Can we please have some compassion for others to park too? Please please please...

Pay please... Welcome to the traffic jam ;)

Do you pay toll to escape the traffic jams or get into the traffic jams? Emmmmmm... Malaysia Boleh!

Taxi???

Perhaps I've not travel the world enough. But if this is what Malaysia's public transportation is, we aint gonna go no where.

Mental

Possibility... its the work of some naughty kids. It aint right. Parents! Take note & educate our kids to be civilized...

Creative? Ugh ugh... ;)

Some people go all the way to "sell"... ;)

Japan Tsunami - Almost A Month Later...

Next week Monday April 11, 2011 will mark a month of the Japan's earthquake and tsunami that had the rest of the world glued to tv and internet for weeks. And today, CNN news reported that the search team found 70 bodies in 3 days. Read here

Its so amazing that bodies are still found weeks later. I cant imagine how they'll look or smell like. Its so sad...

Watch it here

RIP

Even they knew its not true...so fani lorrrr ;)

Ain't gonna say no more...

Sunday March 13, 2011... Dad turns 77

Just like when we did for Mom when she turned 75 on January 20, 2011... 3 generations of Zabri Adil's family were there. It was sentimental for them I guess.

The Batak Band was there to sing him his favorite "Ayam Den Lapek" song ;)

Dad told my girls on the way home that night, it was his 1st ever birthday party. EVER!!!

I just hope we have been good children to them... Love u both mom & dad!

Alahai Makcik...

Kejadian lucu yang terjadi beberapa malam lalu...

While driving along the main road suddenly a van was reversing from a junction straight into the longkang! 20 seconds away, I was telling my family "tengok tu... van tu reverse. terus je. bukan dia kira ada kereta ke tidak." Tetiba... kabooom! into d drain ;) And as we were passing by the van, we saw it was "driverless" and my daughter said "eh eh... tak da driver. van hantu" and on the left side we saw a lady and her daughter running towards the van hoping to stop it from going into the drain.

Ugh ugh... to late makcik!

Kasihan makcik...

Lesson for us...

18 days of people's power in Egypt brought down a President who has been there for 30 years.



I gotta salute the new generation of Egyptians. They were really ONE and awesome all the way.

They reminded me of the Philippines ESDA in 1986. The Pinoys restored democracy after a 20 years of iron fist rule by Ferdinand Marcos.

As the new dawn begins for the Egyptians, I wish for government leaders who have been there for too long to take a serious look at what's happening to the history of mankind.

Dont overstay!
