Sorry, It has been a while since my last post. At first, there is nothing to say and to write. Then, I'm been busy.  Yes, I guest I'm quite busy lately. I've been transfered to northern. Very happy because I'm now staying with my lovely wife after 2 years being apart from each other. Being in a long distance relationship is quite tiring. But then, I've learned to be more patient and appreciate the time while we are together.

And there is one good news to share. I'm now is  father to Umar Syarif. I've got the title on 19th of  Mei, 2010, few days before my 2nd anniversary with my wife. So the life is become more meaningful, merrier, and complete.

Well, I'll update my stories later (if there are chances to do so) which I missed to update in this few months. About my weekend at Flamingo Hotel, Penang, our visits to Butterfly Farm, about Pearl Maternity Hospital, and some more stories (if I still have and remember the stories ). I hope I will be back soon.

Daaaaa!!

Today, I've Being Fooled by Giant. The reality is, this is what we as customer facing everyday. We become like toys and dumb people, being cheated and fooled everyday and every time. For us as a customer, it's not worth it if we want to go and meet the authorities to lodge a report. But for them as a Giant (or whatever company), very-very worth it when ten or hundred or thousands of their customer has been fooled.

p/s: This is not the first time I experience this incident at Giant Hypermarket, there is few times when I scan an item at the cashier, the price is not same with the price they put at the shelves. Check the price and always compared with the price appeared at the cash machine.

I believe that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

On Friday, I play the game with my colleagues  at Mid Valley Mega Mall. We've booked 6 lane for 24 bowlers. We start play at 6 p.m. But our boss was stuck in the meeting. He and with 2 other only arrive at the lane at 7.30 p.m. So we adjust the grouping and start play without them. Talking about this bowling alley... I don't like the ball. The ball is not many and not smooth with cracks here and there. Their ball can make your finger cut if you are not careful.  We play 3 games. The first game, we play with normal lighting, second game, we play with the lamp at the player dock is turn off. The 3rd game, we play the game with the disco lighting and I can't see the lane though. I didn't enjoy the game with this disco kind of lighting.

I play bowling again with my friends on Sunday. It just an ad hoc plan. I managed to gather 8 people. We met and play at IOI Mall Puchong. They have good balls. But I don't enjoy and cannot feel the lane. Maybe the lane is too challenging for me and my body pain I suffered from the tennis I play on the day before make it more worst. Seems like the ditch is my favorite target that day. On the second game, we have been transfered to another lane because the lane we using is having problem. And the new lane, the console is not working and the operator need to key in the bowlers name and so on. Because of that, I can't give this bowling alley a recommendation.

Looking for the next game. Anyone?

owh. what i'm talking about...

The story is, my family is coming to Penang last year. Actually, it's few weeks ago, during Awal Muharram. They stay here for two nights. The first night, my family and I overnight at Copthorne Orchid Hotel. This hotel located directly on the ocean front and conveniently situated at Tanjung Bunga. My say is, this is an old hotel. Their bed, furniture and other equipment were old. However, the kids still enjoy the swimming pool. My sis and her hubby spent their time, enjoy watching the final soccer SEA Games trough big screen TV at their coffee house and walking along the beach. Means we still enjoying their facilities and environment.

Second night, they supposedly over night at my house, but because of my house is a cute one, my wife and I decided to get some additional room at Kompleks Tabung Haji, Bayan Lepas which is nearby with my house to accommodate them. The rooms at Kompleks Tabung Haji is very nice. We manage to get 3 rooms which is one of that is a  Suite. The rooms were newly furnished but not big except for the suite.  The suite size is as big as my cute home and guess what, the price is as low as RM160 per night. I'm very happy with the rate, suitable for you if you are coming to Penang with family members like say for wedding ceremony and so on. It's end up only my mother, my brother and my younger sister overnight at my house.

Owh, time's up. For any further info, fell free to visit their website at  http://www.millenniumhotels.com/my/copthornepenang/index.html and http://www.tabunghaji.gov.my/th/TH/KompleksBayanLepas.htm.

For the ending, I wish you all a Happy New Year (even though the 1st Jan 2010 is on last 7 days) and may this year become a great one for all of us. Daaaa...

Saya tonton perlawanan tersebut yang disiarkan secara langsung. walaupun pasukan negara menang, tetapi masih banyak ruang dan aspek-aspek yang perlu diperbaiki dan dimantapkan. Perlawanan separuh masa pertama agak seimbang dan dapat dilihat pasukan negara dapat mengawal bola.

Separuh masa kedua, rentak permainan Laos berubah. Asakan demi asakan yang dilakukan oleh Laos pasti mencemaskan penyokong-penyokong pasukan Malaysia. Penyokong Malaysia bertambah cemas apabila Laos berjaya menyamakan kedudukan....

Dikarang sehari selepas perlawanan tersebut dan terperap sebagai draf sehingga hari ini.

Hari ni saya sambung.....

Apa-apapun, terlebih dahulu saya mengucapkan tahniah kepada pasukan Bawah 23 Tahun Malaysia kerana berjaya memenangi pingat emas di Sukan SEA, LAOS. Seperti yang dinyatakan sebelum ini... masih banyak perkara yang perlu diperbaiki. Diharapkan pasukan ini dapat terus dimantapkan dan dapat beraksi dengan lebih baik pada perlawana-perlawanan yang akan datang.

Saya sambung dan saya terbitkan juga kerana saya nak juga terbitkan walaupun dah terlambat.

A winner is too busy to be sad

Last week, he went to Mid Valley Megamall by Komuter. While walking heading to Mid Valley from the Komuter station, he has been approached by some guys from telcos' booth, the booth that promoting to the crowded to register new line with them or promoting their prepaid and products. This guy hold my cousins' hand, offer him to sit and begin to ask for his IC.

"What for?" my cousin ask. That guy said "It's nothing, just we have a promotion for you. Now we offer new SIM card, I will fill up the form for you and you will get a new SIM card. It's nothing..." Then, this young man give his IC and this guy fill up the form and return his IC with a new SIM card.

Yesterday, my cousin realized that his telco provider was changed. Before this, he use Celcom Prepaid, but know he subscribed to Maxis Postpaid.

I ask him either he signed or not the form that the promoter fill for him last week? He said "Yes". "Did you read what form it is?" He said "No". I said to him "Then it's also your fault because you signed that form without knowing what is the form all about". I think it's the form to change the telco provider without changing our phone number.

Yes, the promoter is wrong because he doesn't explain to the customer what he is going to do and what he is actually offer, but it is our responsibility to be more careful dealing with them, especially if you need to sign anything.

So guys, careful and be alert...
