Friday, Saturday We Chill on Sunday

Friday: Round-up meeting with the Penghulu Kampung of Kampung Parit Othman, Batu Pahat for the community health screening IMU is organizing mid this month. Most of the kampung folks converse in Javanese among themselves. Gila cool lah Bahasa Jawa. Waras waras waras.

Saturday: Sister's wedding. Highlight of the day, makan benda merapu-rapu and topped everything up with a hefty bowl of kacang kuda rebus. That resulted in a farting frenzy few hours later. Damn bloody hilarious when there's a microphone and huge speakers available. Kacang kuda + PA system = makes you kentut like a kuda. But kacang kuda in English is chick peas. So does it make me kentut like a chick? Hahaha. Jangan harap.

Sunday: 48km bike ride with Ali. Batu 18 - Sungai Tekala - Batu 18. Rupa-rupanya there are more cyclists on Sundays compared to Saturdays. The remnants of yesterday's kacang kuda provided an extra boost especially on flats.

Today: Ada lagi saki-baki kacang kuda. Adui. Kena pasang muffler baek punya.

This Post Is A Reminder Dedicated to My Future Brother-In-Law

Dear Qayyum,

On the first day of the coming month, two families will come together and unite as one

On that day, you will be part of the family

On that day, you will take my younger sister's hand and wed her to be your forever-loving wife

On that day, a new beginning is marked, and I wish the both of you an ever-lasting happiness and prosperity

On that day, and that day onwards

And on that day, I understand that you'll be bringing a lot of trays

One may carry the Holy Quran

One may carry a beatifully crafted cake

One may carry a songket fashioned in a shape of a peacock

And since she is my younger sister, and I am still very much single

I expect that there will be few extra trays

Two, three, four extra ones, it doesn't matter really

As long as there is one that look like this



MET Estro road cycling helmet, in white, nevermind the big red ribbon

It's a new 2008 model, so the price I knew not

But why talk about material value

When my sister is priceless to me

Hypothetically speaking, the more expensive the better

Here are some useful links

Here and here


And I will say it now and I will say it again on that day

Welcome to the family

p.s: My helmet size is L

Raya Pictures

Thanks to my photographer-wannabe brother, Raya in Terengganu this year had been well photographed. Here are some cool shots, and shots of myself, which are also cool. So it's quite redundant to mention it again. :P


Solat Raya at Masjid Terapung Kuala Terengganu.


Orang tengah takbir, kita lepak dulu atas kerusi batu tumpang takde orang. Hihihi.


Sebelum orang serbu datang makan kat rumah, kita bedal le dulu kat dapur.


BBQ open house, Hari Raya kedua.


Lepak kayuh basikal jap.


Not bad eh this kampung. They have tandem bike here.


Budak-budak lari pun ada.


Gathering of the Singles Club.


In deep contemplation


Moment of regret.


Homage to my brother. A budding photographer (so he claimed). Orang muka tak malu macam dia je boleh jadi photographer. Tengah khutbah raya, dia boleh lagi rayau-rayau masjid celah-celah orang nak ambik gambar.


That's him again flashing his orange underwear.

It was a good Raya. Not too many tiring travels across the state, people came to our place instead. And the drive had been extremely superb. After so many years of implementation, I can safely say Ops Sikap had shown its positive effect.

Selamat Hari Raya 2007!
