A short and crazy trip up hill

Yesterday, we (me & her) got a wedding invitation in Taiping, Perak. So we head there at about 11 am from her place in Rawang. We arrived approximately at 2.30pm which is around 1 hour's late from schedule because of the heavy traffic in Ipoh toll.



It was a bo.....ring journey coz it takes about 3 hours to reach there and thanx to her generosity of sleeping throughout the journey makes the expedition much more interesting..............NOT!!!!

after reaching there, we met up with a few of her friends and took the opportunity to snap some pictures..Since i'm not working today, they took the opportunity to make me snap their pictures...arghh...






at about 3.30pm, we decided to head back home to KL. Along the journey back, she got a bad news about her uncle. Her uncle was admitted to Selayang hospital. He was suspected of internal bleeding of the stomach.Owwchh...

We decided to go and have a visit...

But something else happened..We saw the Cameron Highlands exit just a few metres away. So we made an unthinkable decision of climbing the mountains towards there. We exited the Simpang Pulai toll, and started our journey of approximately 80km.



Not much of sight seeing are available to be shoot at since she was kinda dizzy along the way and i'm not able to snap pictures because i'm driving the car..

After reaching Kg Raja, we decided to head towards Strawberry Park Resort near Equatorial hotel to buy us some STRAWBERRIES...yeay....

but unfortunately, we were unable to reach there since there was a massive crawl of traffic along the way..something bad had happened and there was an ambulance passing through at a high speed climbing the hill...

i told her, i'm sorry...maybe some other time dear...



so we made a u-turn and head back down because its getting late and its already 6:00 pm..Its getting dark and not a thing was bought yet!!

So we decided to stop at a stall beside the road...





it was raining!!!




we were searching for the strawberries but unfortunately it was all sold out since it was a school holidays and people are acting like piranhas and the fruit is like a meat to them...but along the way uphill, there were a few farms selling strawberries and we hope that its still available there.

After that stop, we decided to have a little cup of tea at Cameroon Valley






and took some moment pictures of ours...hihi...






after that shooting, we decided to head back home since its getting late and KL is still far away...

We did a small stop downhill buying some groceries a.k.a. sayur-sayuran



from the picture, it shows that it was already late and we both are tired..so its time to go home..bye2 Cameron Highland, we will be visiting again soon...

Again in the trip back home, she was SLEEPING and i'm still struggling to be awake just to make sure that we both get home safely..

i managed to get back to my bed at around 1 am after sending her back home at 12.30am

now i'm sleepy...gud nite...

XOXO..

I'm tired..

last weekend was a tired weekend for me..as expected, when school holidays comes in, you would be busy..there are lots of wedding, not attending as a guest, but as a photographer..all the burden to capture the moments are on my shoulders..if the picture comes out good, its a good reputation for my company, but if it turns out otherwise, salary cuts..ouwchh!!..

on saturday my job was in keramat, well, thank god its near to my home...it all ended well even though it rained in the afternoon...we ended the job at around 4...then we went to our favourite printing shop to print/collect our previous product...

at that shop i got an sms from my friend, 9W2AXN to attend this event


i tot i would miss this event eventually, but maybe this is what we call jodoh, i managed to get there..hihi... he picked me up as well as 9W2ULL from home and we headed towards Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan..

The event was like an eye-ball session.. to gather all amatuer radio stations from all over malaysia to celebrate 80 years of ham radio in malaysia..its even older than malaysia's independence.. the 'thing' started way back during the japanese invasion,etc...

AXN was driving quite fast as we departed from KL at around 7pm due to the traffic..we managed to get there at around 8.45pm..

there were around 800++ people coming in from all around malaysia and even there were visitors from Japan and some other foreign country which i couldn't remember since there were a lot of hamsters around..

after the session and cabutan bertuah, we headed back home at around 12am, this time around 9W2IZW followed us back...after the Qso's than we realised that he stayed just around the vicinity and we decided ( me and 9W2ULL ) to hitch him back home...so we switched car at Petronas Sg Besi...i had a comfy ride in his Honda Civic 1.8 i-vtec...its one of my dream car...i wish i can afford one...

after reaching home, a tragedy happened...i slipped as my crocs cant handle my weight or maybe the grass was slippery and i fall down in the drain and hurt my leg..it was bleeding!!! ouucchh!!!

after cleaning up myself, i went to sleep..

the sunday morning i had to wake up early since i got another wedding job to attend too...this time is in Puchong...i drove to Warta, Selayang to pick 'her' up....yesterday's job (Saturday) i was with wan, our other partner in crime..ehh business..

after picking her up and ate our usual cucur udang, we head towards Kelana Jaya as the bride & groom are there for the make-up session...

it was a nice apartment, the owner Abg Farid & wifey was quite decorative...

he was using P1 Wimax...wow!!!...its fast!!..thinking of owning one....@rm89 per month...

after that, we head towards Puchong for the reception...

there was an incident there...

the problem there is that, the road was kinda small, jez enough for one car to pass by...this one smart / arrogant savvy didn't want to give way, so he tried ( he thought that he was small n will able to squeezed in) to move side ways rather than stopping and let the car pass first...he ended sinking into a mud hole and cant go out...haha..padan muka!!...

the event went smoothly even though it rain a few while..the food was good..i even wanted to have a second round but my job permits me..actually she permits me....

after the job, we quickly rushed to Menara Yayasan Tun Razak in Jln Bukit Bintang to catch my friend's wedding in Dewan Tun Raha...even though i couldn't catch his reception, but i managed to bumped into him on his way out...

after that, we head towards wan's house to collect our product...

then its movie time!!.. The day the earth stood still was our choice of movie for today... even though we're tired, we still have time for ourselves...


after the movie, we head back home..

i reached home at around 9.30pm..doze...

point to ponder

sabda rasullullah s.a.w - "hubbukal lisyai yuqma wa yussam" kalau kita TERLALU mencintai sesuatu, mata jadi BUTA, telinga jadi PEKAK!

Cinta pada agama...membawa pengertian dan pengorbanan yang berbeza...
Cinta pada ilmu...menjadikan Mata kita dapat menembusi dinding syurga..dan memekakkan telinga kita dari raungan api neraka...(perghhh, baiknya aku)

P/s : Cinta pada bunga..akan menjadikan kita towkey kedai bunga yang berjaya...tapi cinta pada monyet....yang ni kena tafsir sendiri...kekekekekek

flirting anyone??

Pick-up line yang mungkin boleh diguna pakai...got it from a friend...

phone aku berbunyi.. aku angkat.. no tak kenal pun..
Gadis : Akmal.. ko kt mana?
aku: aa? tgh makan ni..
Gadis : bila kau nak balik office?..
aku: aah? orang cuti laa.! eh.. jap2.. nak cakap dgn sapa tadi? akmal? er.. u salah orang ni kot.! i nitnot..,
Gadis : aa? salah nombor ke? er. sorry lah..!
aku: eh, eh.. nanti dulu., since u dah kacau saya tgh makan.. u kena jawab beberapa soalan..
Gadis : aa? ok.. apa dia?
aku: 1st - mana u dapat no I.. dan 2nd..dgn siapa saya bercakap ni? (suara menarik dan confiden budak perempuan yg on the line ni.. )
Gadis : er.. i tersalah nombor ler.! sorry lah.. ! nama? er. Ezra. !
aku: hai Ezra.. salam kenal dari nitnot! alang2 u dah tersalah call, dan i pun mmg tgh bosan ari ni.. sebab kawan2 semua kerja..! u kene denda utk jadi kawan i.!
Gadis : aa? eh.. takpe lah! simpan sajalah niat u tu..!
aku: oiitt.. , tak baik gitu! dah laa kacau saya tgh makan..., now nak hang-up cm tu aje! kan ke kejam tu?
where u're calling from?
Gadis : I call dari office laa! keje..!
aku: where's ur office? kalau dekat awak kena datang food court sini teman saya makan! sebab awak dah potong selera saya makan ni.
Gadis : I dari ampang.. , datang sana? er.. takpe ler laa kot? ok lah ya! babai..!
aku: Ok..! kalau u tak dapat gak call orang yg sebenarnya u nak cari tu., call me back ler! ya?
Gadis : insya'allah..

finish part 1..! takpe.. part 1 tak payah ler nak pushy sangat kan! aku mmg bosan pun!

dah abis lunch.., dalam 1jam cam tu, aku call balik.. guna no incoming call tadi! tanya office apa ni! then mintak pass kepada Ezra..

aku: Hi Ezra.. ingat lagi tak ? ni nitnot.. yg tadi u salah call tu.!
Gadis : eh.. hi! ingat..! mana u dapat no I ni? (dia dah cuak..)
aku: no.. kan u call my hp.. so ada lah no incoming call tu.! i call laa balik.. saja nk kacau u pulak.. !
Gadis : oo.. ok.! nk kawan cam mana? i tak kenal u.. u're stranger! i tak sengaja salah dail no. you..
aku: cam ni laa., since u ada my hp number kan.. yg u salah dail tadi..! kalau u rasa bleh ngam nk kawan dgn saya.. sms me.. or call my number!

end of part 2.. pun cam takde harapan aje..

tiba-tiba, selang 1 jam..

sms masuk.., cam ni isinya..

Gadis [sms] : Hi.. I don't know who you are.., tapi cara perkenalan kita agak unik.., walau tadi saya katakan saya tak nak berkawan.., tapi baru kejap ni saya kena marah dgn boss! & i think i need a friend now.


aku reply - huh? sapa ni? menyamar? prank? scam?

Gadis [sms] : I'm your new friend.. Ezra..!

dan seterusnya...

yabedabedu..! .. mission accomplishes!

moral dari cerita pick up line ni..! it pays to be a lil-bit friendly.. kawan tu ada di mana2.. terpulang kita nak ambil peluang..

...

here's another one

Kawan aku penah terdengar pick up line nie,jadi dia cuba repeat balik nak tgk keberkesanan nyer

mamat : kalau i bagi card kat u.u akan call tak i?
minah : tak tau la..i nak tgk card u dulu.

terus hulurkan kad

minah : ok..nanti i call u ( tapi kompom dia taknak call)
mamat : apa kata u call dulu..
minah : nanti la,balik kang (nak cuba mengelat la tu)
mamat k (sambil buat2 cam nak blah...n tetiba berhenti)
mamat :takper la u...i nak card tu balik..

terus blah....so dia tak malu..card dia selamat satu

moral : apa daaa,muka tak ensem nak takel miss malaysia..huauauaha


......

here's another one also

Hmm...x sure leyh di pakai @ tidak utk sumer org... ade gak jenis line2 yg cam mintak simpati..

Satu senario, seorang lelaki pergi ke kaunter membayar di restoren yg di jaga oleh sorang awek yg cun....

Lelaki : brape table tadi?
Pompuan: RM30.50
Lelaki : eh..bile u type kat register tu kan...gaya u anggun skali...u nama apa dik?
Pompuan : (tersipu-sipu) ana
Lelaki : ada phone number x?
Pompuan : (sambil bagi baki) xder la..sy x pakai HP
Lelaki : (aduss..dlm hati)... alaa..ye la tuh..modal tahun '69 tuh..dah lapok dh dik... x per la..org tua cam abg nih mana la ade pluang nak dpt no dari awek yg cun cam ana nih....(dgn nada sedih..asal jgn nangis dahh)
Pompuan : alaa..jgn la ckp camtu..abg bkn tua sgt pun...
Lelaki : (dh msk jarum nih...) ok la..abg anggap tu kata semangat...so kalau dptkan phone kedai leyh? mana tau nak wat reservation ker...?
Pompuan : phone kedai ok... 91733234, nanti cari ana k
Lelaki : ehh..mesti lah..ana je paham org tua cam abg nih....(mengena dh nih)
Pompuan : abg ni ade2 saje...thx 4 coming k
Lelaki : thx sbb melayan abg k...btw, name abg nitnot (bukan nama sebenar).
Lelaki itu kemudian berlalu dengan senyuman manis sambil diperhatikan oleh swinger69ers

so bermula lah dr situ....kol wat reservation sekali dua..then
pompuan tu layan jer..last2 siap gi shopping, makan berdua kat KLCC and dot, dot, dot.... (kalau trus bernasib baik la...)

Tektik ini hanye laku di jalankan jike awek tu memberi respon yg agak positif...kalau trus muke monyok je..amik belen, blah jer..ego kene jaga..bunga bukan sekuntum..cume kebetulan kumbang nih je gatal terlebih...huhuhu

cheers

Makan Time!!




Yesterday night i donno what to do after coming back from office...yes, i came back late at around 9... wow!!..i waited until isya' then only i go back home..

its all because of the UAT test.. need to prepare for the stress test for today...

i had to reject her offer of accompanying her to Kenny Rogers KL Sentral just because i need to prepare the work..damn.... i hate my job....i love my previous job, but i hate the pay...here, i hate the job, but i love the pay...

you can't always have what you want rite!!

i decided to have my dinner at AsamPedas Restaurant at Setiawangsa, the restaurant is near to Setiawangsa LRT Station, just behind KRU Records building...

i called up my ex-colleague Mr A. to accompany me for my dinner, he reached that place around 9.30pm and we start our dinner immediately

the food was okay, i took the set meal....the asam pedas was perfect...



i need to compare the food here with the one in Ampang besides Galaxy, the price is about the same, but in Ampang, the portion of the fish is too small..i was like WT Duck, so small but so pricy...this is the last time i'm going here la...

but here, the portion is sufficient, good for a meal...i give it a thumbs up!!

rating = 9

why 9? because i tasted better with cheaper pricing....

I've been working on a RAILs road..


What is Ruby?

Ruby is a interpreted programming language developed by Yukihiro Matsumoto in 1995 and today Ruby is the fastest growing language.

Ruby is the successful combination of:

  • Smalltalk's conceptual elegance
  • Python's ease of use and learning
  • Perl's pragmatism

Ruby is :

  • A High Level Programming Language
  • Interpreted like Perl, Python, Tcl/TK.
  • Object-Oriented Like Smalltalk, Eiffel, Ada, Java.
  • Originated in Japan and Rapidly Gaining Mindshare in US and Europe.

Why Ruby ?

Ruby is becoming popular exponentially in Japan and now in US and Europe as well. According to the TIOBE Programming Community Index, it is the fastest growing language.

Following are greatest factors which are making this language the fastest growing one among the other languages:

  • Very easy to learn
  • Open source (very liberal license)
  • Rich built-in libraries
  • Very easy to extend
  • Purely Object-Oriented
  • Less coding with fewer bugs
  • Automatic memory management
  • Duck Typing, which means Dynamic Typing
  • Helpful community

Why Not Ruby ?

  • Performance - Although it rivals Perl and Python but because of being interpreting language, we can not compare it with high programming lanaguage like C or C++.

  • Threading Model - Ruby does not use native threads. This means Ruby threads are simulated in the VM rather than running as native OS threads.



What is Rails?

Rails is a web development framework written in the Ruby language. It is designed to make programming web applications easier by making several assumptions about what every developer needs to get started. It allows you to write less code while accomplishing more than many other languages and frameworks. Longtime Rails developers also report that it makes web application development more fun.

Rails is opinionated software. That is, it assumes that there is a best way to do things, and it's designed to encourage that best way - and in some cases discourage alternatives. If you learn "The Rails Way" you'll probably discover a tremendous increase in productivity. If you persist in bringing old habits from other languages to your Rails development, and trying to use patterns you learned elsewhere, you may have a less happy experience.

The Rails philosophy includes several guiding principles:

* DRY - "Don't Repeat Yourself" - suggests that writing the same code over and over again is a bad thing.
* Convention Over Configuration - means that Rails makes assumptions about what you want to do and how you're going to do it, rather than letting you tweak every little thing through endless configuration files.
* REST is the best pattern for web applications - organizing your application around resources and standard HTTP verbs is the fastest way to go.

Movie Marathon

Yesterday, we (me & her) did a movie marathon at Golden Screen Cinema (GSC)One Utama. It seems that there's a lot of movies we had missed and this time around, we managed to grab a few movies to waste our time. This December is school holiday and a lot of people are getting married on this month, this is the only week that we are free to rest.

We got up early in the morning and met up around 9 jez to head to Puchong to go visit her potential car to be. Its only a 660 ex kancil, hey its manual!!!..the owner is letting it go for a bigger car and she was crying out loud to get her own set of wheels..many reasons in her mind...from her budget, the kancil suits it.. its around 200 per month. Its a 2005 registered car but the owner had only drove it for around 46k...imagine, 3 yrs age but only manage to clock less than 50k...

for a 14.5k price tag car, it seems ok to me.. but the problem is its manual tranny.. so she needs to fork out about 1.7k to change the tranny + radiator to auto....fyi, auto tranny radiator is much bigger than a manual tranny radiator, so if you had in mind of changing the transmission of your car, remember that in mind...

after driving the car, we are actually berpuas hati with the car..only wear n tear ie the seat needs to be washed ( around rm100 inclusive of all the carpets etc), n also polished (this i think the owner needs to bear the cost)..

after the visit, we head back to One Utama for our marathon... our first movie is at 11.50 and we haven't even bought the tix yet... we reached one utama at 10.50...we quickly grab the tix at gsc..the damages was around rm80 for 4 movies for 2 pax..the following movies are :

1. Selamat Pagi Cinta (11.50 am)



2. Madagascar 2 ( 2.30 pm)



3. Twillight ( 4.50 pm)



4. Antoo Fighter ( 7.20 pm)




We decided to have only 4 movies at one go...

movie rating :

1. Selamat pagi Cinta - ok la...its a boleh tahan movie, the actors are good , but i realised that Pierre Andre likes to act as a dying person based on the Sepi movie..hmm rating from 1-10
(1= bad n 10=best) = 8

2. Madagascar 2 - yeay!!..i like this movie a lot..the story is related to the first episode..my rating is = 10

p/s: i like to move it move it...

3. Twilight - i also like this movie..if you like this movie, u should watch HBO tv series - True Blood... rating = 10

4. Antoo Fighter - this movie suxx!!...the intentions are there...they told that this movie cost a lot but i beg to differ...the CGI are not visible enough due to the lack of lighting...bad lighting setup!!!..most of the time its dark..u cant even see the actors or the gadgets properly even on bright daylight!!..come on, cicakman performs better..the hype is there, the technology is there, but very bad arrangements........even the scripts are totally gone hay wire....i dont even get what radhi says in his dialogue....rating = 5 (i gave it a 5 because of the effort)...hey i support local movie industry la.....

after the first movie, we went for our breakfast at Bistro Delifrance.. we had sandwiches there..i had my seafood sandwich and she had the tuna sandwich...after our breakfast, we head towards our 2nd movie..

after our second movie, we had our lunch at Nando's... we had 1/4 chicken with 2 sidelines... (thanks to the food advertisement before the movie started)..

after the 3rd movie, its a back t0 back movie and the break is quite short, after performing what should be done, we head towards our finalle movie

after the 4th movie, its time go home...the parking tix was rm 13!!...wow!!

we had our supper at a mamak stall and then straight back home...i sent her back at around 11.30pm and i managed to get back home at 12.15am...

thats all in a days work...

xoxo...

p/s: i'm writing this at my home back in Seremban..tomorrow is Eid Adha...Selamat Hari Raya Korban!!

the day had came, the sorrows had pass, its a dawn of a new beginning

i came back home around 9.05pm..i know we are late...but better be late than never rite??..after quickly took my shower and perform my prayers, we (me, my sister n my mom) quickly drove to LCCT.. we took the KL-Putrajaya highway (MEX Highway) which cost us about rm4 but saves us a lot of time...then we switched to NKVE highway towards KLIA which cost us around rm4.30.. total = rm8.30..well, thats not the issue here, the issue here is to cut time and be there on time..

we depart from home around 9.45pm and we manage to get there at 10.45pm.. it took us an hour to reach LCCT from KL. If we took the Plus highway, we will be reaching there approximately 1/2 hour late...its a big difference..

after reaching there, we quickly searched the herd and we manage to see them and then started the drama..its not a soap opera, but a scene in life where fammillies getting apart from each other, every one had some experience with them, shared secrets, happiness, sorrow..yeah..its our family la.....

i'll be posting images,....dont cry...be happy for them ok!!
