License to Drive, Ticket for Speeding

I spent one whole week in KL + JB. Just got back in IIUM Kuantan last night. Pretty tiring~ But a man has got to work and have fun. Huhu. It's for my research project. We need to take blood samples from pesticde sprayers. Therefore we need to visit some estates and deal with their managers. Tiring, but wasn't so bad. We used the company's Avanza. Each of us got RM 40 daily allowance. We could claim for mileage and tolls. Kinda like going to KL for free~ huhu. Then 2 days ago my boss asked me n MJ23 to represent him to visit a practical student in JB. Well, another cuti-cuti Malaysia for us! We didn't get daily allowance, but getting the accomodation fee was good enough! lalalalalaa~ (^_^)

So, I've been driving and going places all week. Based at Taman Melati, we went to Lembah Beringin, Subang (3 times), Sg. Buloh, Petaling Jaya, Putrajaya, Johor Bharu, Gombak, and of coz, back to Kuantan terchenta.

I've been driving for about 6 years. I got my license to drive after SPM, when I was 18. I love driving! Especially if it's a good car and the radio works fine. What's a car without a radio, huh~ huhu. I'm not from a rich family. So far the best car I've driven was my sister's Satria Neo. Damn, that felt really good :D

My siblings (except my lil sis) are all racers. Ok, that's a bit stretching it. Hehe. But we really like to drive fast. Not like fast and furious, just faster than average drivers :p How fast can a proton get anyway~ I have 5 brothers, the craziest one was the fourth. My Kak Long, she's wicked too. Nevertheless, we don't do reckless driving. All of us drive safely (^_^)v

Throughout these 6 years of driving, never have I got into any accident. Told ya, I drive safely ;) And the traffic officer was never kind enough to give me any ticket for speeding or for breaking any rules and regulations on the road, until last monday. Darn it~ I was driving the company's Avanza on MRR2 Kepong when suddenly there's a road block ahead. The officer let the car in front of me passed. Owh, ok, lalalalalaa~ But then he pointed the red flag at me then shoved the flag (with utmost determination and power) to his right. As for me, I thought the Avanza was too big to go straight, so he wanted me to move a little to the left. Ok, dum da dum da daa~ to the left, to the left~ Naive and innocent, huh? Right after I passed the officer with the red flag. There's another officer on my left blowed up his whistle like there's no tomorrow. Almost reached 150 decibel. Ok, now I know what's happening...

Another officer approached as I opened the window. Hey, dummy. You went straight into our trap. Muahaha! We caught you driving at 106km/h. The speed limit here is 80km/h, just so you know lah. yada yada yada~ Gotcha! (I've changed the dialogue. He actually spoke like A. Galak, and in Malay, u know, like traffic police~ huhu). So, my first ticket other than parking tickets and movie tickets and bus tickets. 80km/h, can u guys believe that? For God's sake, it's a three-lane road! It wasn't even busy at the time. And you guys want me to drive below 80? Who the hell's in charge on this speed-limit thing anyway? Tak logik langsung!~ The highway's speed limit of 110km/h is also unfashionably irrelevant. Or you guys are so broke that u need to 'legally' con my money? I don't mind getting summons or tickets for things that are truly logically wrong that I did. But this one, my mind simply couldn't comprehend~

Arghhh~ can't stand being led by incompetents. I'd be glad to follow logical and relevant rules. But they made too many stupid and ridiculous rules for us to abide by~ Gotta get myself up there someday. So many stupid rules that need to be amended and abolished!

Tiga Skandal Hidupku

Kami pernah berkawan.
Malah
Pernah lebih daripada itu.
Tapi kini tidak lagi berkawan.
Dan tidak mungkin akan kembali lebih.
Namun aku sebenarnya
Ingin kembali berkawan.
Tapi hanya berkawan.
Tidak lebih daripada itu.

***********************************

Kami hanya kawan.
Tidak pernah lebih.
Dan aku pasti
Tidak akan lebih daripada itu.
Tapi kini aku rimas.
Sangat tidak selesa.
Aku bosan aku serabut.
Aku rimas.
Bukan hanya tidak akan lebih.
Malah
Aku tidak ingin lagi berkawan.

***********************************

Kami berkawan.
Masih lagi berkawan.
Namun
Suatu hari nanti.
Aku mungkin ingin lebih daripada itu.
Mungkin.
Suatu hari nanti.

Led By The Incompetents

fcuking government~

kalo aku ckp government aku bengap dan incompetent, ada tak orang yg akan ckp kat aku
"hek eleh, ko tu mcm la terer sgt, ingat senang ke nak jaga satu negara, kalo ko terer sgt gi la ganti Pak Lah jadi PM. Kutuk org je pandai!"...?

Fcuk off, dude. Huh, aku rakyat biasa pun tau Malaysia ni negara pengeluar minyak. Tapi letak harga minyak macam negara pengimport minyak. WTF. You don't have to study in a university to know just that~ Wanita ini juga sokong kenyataan aku ni. You think we're just a bunch of brainless apes or what? Doing this n that n expect we would hear and obey without giving it a slightest thought. What kinda government could think such lowly of their citizens?!

Bangganya aku dgn petronas~ pandai diorang carigali minyak~ dpt untung berbilion~ keep digging, guys~ (^_^) WTF. Rakyat Malaysia sniri pun tak dapat merasa hasil minyak Malaysia. Haha, laughable indeed. Apa? KLCC? Sepang? KLIA? Bgs la smua tu. Bleh bangga sket. Tapi semua rakyat dapat rasa, dapat sentuh ke smua tu? Ada yg tak penah jejak kaki pun kat tempat2 tu. Buat jalan? Baiknya~ Tol berpuluh ringgit! Ni minyak naik, harga barang-barang konfem naik. Bil letrik pun nak naik lagi. This is outrageous. Totally ridiculous!

Incompetent leaders! Of course we can't satisfy everyone, but why didn't they choose to satisfy the poor and the middle-class citizens?! Why is it always the rich, the richer and the richest? The poor only get to be proud of being Malaysian to have all those concretes which are practically useless to them. Other than that?? Where are their shares as Malaysians? They're not getting more money yet the prices of everything keep hiking. Harga thumbdrive je makin menurun~ yeah, laugh all u want~ But I am not laughing.

There are so many things I wanna say, but lets just end it here before I start swearing more~

(nukilan ini asalnya untuk ruangan komenan di blog dammit, tapi bila dah start tulis tu jadi panjang plak... So it end up in my own blog as another entry.)

Candak Sutong 2008

I was getting busy again...err...lazy, actually. Huhu. Sorry for the late update :p

Hoho, went squid jigging (mencandat sotong) again! Now let me recall...when was it eay...Oh, 17th of May! That makes it the 5th squid jigging expedition in my ever-wonderful life! Okay...ever-wonderful is a little too much... :p

Anyway, the different thing about this year's expedition is, I was the project manager. Yeah, I was the host this year~ (^_^)v The first 3 was free, everything was arranged by a friend's father. The 4th trip, last year, I went with a friend, along with his friends, and I gotta pay rm 50~ dah la tengah sengkek time tu...we went jigging in September. Haha, pretty stupid ey? :p The waves were very strong and we all got sea sick~ I threw up a couple of times too. Huhu. But we did bring back some squids. I only got one though :p

Well, that was last year. Let's forget about it. Coz this year rocks, baby!

I arranged the trip for 8 friends, with my eldest brother and my elder sister tagging along. We departed from the jetty on a fisherman's boat at about 6pm Saturday. Arrived at the jigging spot at around 7pm, a friend of mine immediately got the first catch of that day. But that's the only she got on the whole trip. She got sea sick a few minutes later and never got back on her feet again. Haha :p

The boat owner was kind enough to change spots a couple of times, looking for the 'lubuk'. At our 3rd stop, we waited for half an hour before my sister got the first catch. Then it turned to be a real 'lubuk' yeyy! (^_^) After 12am midnight, only the fantastic four were still up and mighty - me, Pojan, my brother and my sister. The rest got sea sick and some were just sleepy~ huhu. We were up till 5am when the boat started to head back to the shore.

And you know what? We brought back some 40-50 kilos of sweet, juicy squids! Most of them are about half a meter long. I jigged up 22 squids myself! Pretty impressive ey?~ coz I never got more than 10 before. Hohoho.

My mom gave out some to neighbours and friends. And the rest? This is the best part! On Sunday night, we had sotong bakar, sotong goreng celup tepung, tom yam sotong and sotong sumbat ala Kelantan. We cooked and ate till 1 am~ Everybody was stuffed up real good. Muahaha. You can really taste the sweetness of fresh squids~ The next day, we had sotong masak sambal and sotong masak kunyit for lunch. I know, squids and squids again. But unlike chicken or beef, u'll never grow tired of eating squids (^_^)

I gave out lotsa tips last year, here's some additional tips for squid jigging:

I don't know why they call it squid jigging, but here's how you squid jigging. Throw the jig into the sea till it reaches the bottom sea bed. Then pull it up about 1 feet. Then u start gettin' jiggy with it by snatch n' release, snatch n' release, snatch n' release...until it feels a little heavier than before. Senang giler~ huhu

Oh, you might wanna wear a dark shirt, coz those squids would be squirting some serious black inks! Make sure u don't direct the squid's head towards yourself or your friends, unless u wanna get ur face painted black~ huhu :p
