Ah Moi & Ah Pek

Berkurun lamanya kalo nak nunggu kita update blog ni. Heh, bukan apa... mmg tak berapa ada masa la. Kalo kat rumah nak ngadap laptop, jgn harap la. Nanti ada makhluk kenit dtg mengendeng sebok nak main laptop jgk. Takkan la nak nyuruk2 dlm bilik siap kunci semata2 nak update blog?? Lain la update blog politik ka... altantuya ka...

Anyway, on the 22nd November we went to Bukit Mertajam to attend ibu Sofea's best friend's wedding, Ying Zee (the ah moi) and Chean Hong (the ah pek). Excited toksah ckp la sbb ni first time pegi Penang after i dunno how many years. Kalo tak silap, last sekali gi Penang ialah masa tahun 1996 or 1997. Dah lupa dah camne rupa Penang. Lagi, nak g ni wedding chinese. Ho Ho... mesti makan best2. I'm longing to eat the sup sirip ikan yu tu. Being first time to Penang, I google la here n there about the place. Manage to get the map to Ocean Restaurant, Tmn Perwira Bukit Mertajam. So off we go~!! Pukul 3 ptg jalan, pukul 6 ptg sampai. Hmmm... boleh tahan jgk dekat nya ye?.. or aku yg bawak laju?



Ini lah dia tempat kejadian.



Ini pula tempat penginapan. Banglo 3 tingkat beb! Haha~

Hmm... berbalik kpd cerita wedding ni. This is my chance to try do indoor shooting. I was surprised with the condition of the hall. Sangat2 low light. I know i'm gonna screw up my shooting sbb i'm a f**king newbie and i'm not well-equipped!! ...and it's true. All my photo sangat hampehs. But i learned a lot from here. I need to improve my composition and I need an external flash to have sufficient light. Apart from that, I might also need a fast lens to do indoor shooting. Don't talk about wide-angled lens yet or else I might break my bank! But it's a good experience.













...and as for Sofea, she's excited sungguh. Berjalan ke sana sini. Main belon2... tgk performance kanak2, and the best part is yam-seng time. All those chinese tu jerit kuat2 "yaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmm-sengggggg!!!". Dia pun ikut "yoooonnnn-teng~!".





Sorry lew gambo kecit. Bleh klik la kalo nak enlarge. Takde masa sgt nak post-production gambar2 taken semua. Ini pun ibu Sofea yang tlg p-p kan.

Feeling Nostalgic

Hmm... kadang2 kalau duk sesaja, mesti kenangan lampau datang mengimbau. Nostalgia lama2 terimbas di ingatan. Kalau nak digambarkan secara grafik, mula2 kita jadi fade-out dgn transition liquid gitu sambil diiringi angelic background sound. Alerr.. mcm time flashback dlm tv tu lah! Pastu semua imej2 yg terlintas di otak ni monochrome.

Ni gua teringat pulak jaman2 tinggal di LS7 dulu. Mcm2 le kenangan indah dan tak indah. Tapi gua igt lg, time tu gua mmg hantu alam maya. Addicted nak mampos. Friendster, MySpace, VirtualFriends, Blogdrive, Blogspot, Hi5, all the social networking sites you name it! Even this blog actually started at that time. Setakat YM dan MSN Messenger tu, mmg 24 hours on. Jarang la off.

Pastu lak kan, housemate semua ada girlfriend. Yg gua ni pulak, hampeh tul takde girlfriend. Manjang je tgk org bergayut2, chat dgn awek, dating ler. Gua ni tak habih2 nak ngayat awek, tp tak dapat2. Hehehe~

Di kalangan circle of friends gua time tu, yg mat jiwang diberi gelaran Father of Flower, Father of Flower II. Yang solo tak layan awek2 ni dipanggil Father of Rock. Gua dpt nama Father of Fry. Haaa.. lu pikir la sendiri kenapa jadi mcm tu. Gua punya landlord nama nya Haji. dia org Bangla. hoh!

Anyway, time tu mmg akan gua kenang sampai bila2. Kalau ada rejeki, gua nak gi tgk la rumah tu in future. Bankside Street, Harehills LS7... kau tunggu sana! Gua akan tiba satu hari nanti!!

Taylor'swood 2008

Hmm.. this entry is way overdue tapi takpe lah. Nak enter jugak entry nih. Last month, lepas raya, my company was having annual dinner. It was on 17th October. Bertempat di Sunway Pyramid Convention Center and the theme is hollywood. Well, all the staffs are supposed to wear costume that depicted hollywood movies la. For example pakai baju Jedi Knight ke, Superman ke,.. tak kisah la janji character dlm hollywood movies.



I've decided to bring along my wife and of course Sofea. At first, we all takut jgk kot2 halfway through the majlis, Sofea nangis2 ke.. merengek2 ajak balik ke. Tapi, end up dia pulak yang lebih2 excited. Memang laaa dia tak duduk dia kat meja makan tu. Kejap nak pegang garfu, kejap nak pegang sudu, kejap nak ketuk itu ini. Tapi kat belakang hall tu ada mcm big space kan. We just let her main2 kat situ. Dia pun seronok la tgk ada performances, lagu2, joget2, tgk org lalu-lalang berpakaian ntah apa2. Siap kena ngorat dgn anak Mat Saleh lg.



The dinner's banquet hall.



The MC that night was Jules from Pulp Fiction.

Anyway, back to the dinner, it was alright la. Ada performances, ada award presentation, all those normal stuff during company's annual dinner. So, all in all we did enjoy the night. Ingatkan bleh la dapat lucky draw. Hadiah2 yg ditawarkan agak menarik, tapi I'm not lucky :( Main prize is 5 days 3 nights to Gold Coast. Australia mind you, not the Bagan Lalang one... and there's Samsung HTC touch phone, RM10,000 HP laptop. Tapi gua tak dapat apa2~!! Hoh!



There are Julius Caesar, Princess Fiona of Shrek, erm... I don't know this one, and Snow White.



We also have The Phantom, and Princess Leia Organa from the Star Wars trilogy.



Ok, I like this one. You all nak tau tak who are all those Spartan warriors? ...They are actually the top management of the company consists of CEO, COO, Provost, MD, Dato' Loy, ..and also the newly-appointed VC, Prof Dato Dr Hassan. hehe~ sporting habis diorang ni.



This is the winner of Best Costume. Somebody from S.W.A.T. geee.. I dunno where did she (yes, it's a she) manage to get that costume.



*click on pic for bigger view!

..and the best part, I was crowned as The Most Charming Staff of 2008 that night. Ahahahah~~!! Noo laa... that was me and Sofea on the stage when I was trying to answer some stupid trivia question. Dapat laaa keychain bodow seketul. Sofea's not looking at the audience sbb makcik2 penari kat belakang tu duk mengacan dia. Hampeh tul. Oh yea, can you guess which character of Hollywood movies I am?

p/s - sorry for the quality of the pics is not that good. I'll repair it soon. Now got limited time lorr..

Rumah Terbuka

Bertarikh 1 November 2008 hari Isnin, telah diadakan open house kecil2an laa utk sedara-mara dtg ke rumah kitorang. Lagipun, AJK Pekmar nak buat meeting sekali. Kitorang ni malas sket kalau bab2 org dtg rumah nak makan2 ni. Ye la, malas nak buat kerja. Nasib baik mama opah nye ada. Kalau tak, mau lingkup la kitorang. Ibu dah la bendahari persatuan. Tentu nye busy kira duit. Anyway, we managed to do it.

Antara yang datang ialah, AJK2 Pekmar, penasihat2 iaitu Pak Agus & Mak Ebah, Pak Jene, Mak Mah & Cik Lan. Kak Umi sama Nuar pun datang jugak. Bayangkan la... my house ni kecit je. Yang datang ramai... haa dah cramped gila. Lantak le korang. Sofea pun pening tgk org ramai2 menakluk rumah dia. As for me, my A300 tak perform sgt that day. Ruang yg terlalu sempit membuatkan diri rasa ingin menyambar satu very wide-angled punya lense. Hehehe~ tapi tak perlu la... duit nya ngga' ada.

So, sila la... jemput makan2 jgn malu~!







Dah kenyang, bermesyuarat pulak. Apa isi kandungan diorg mesyuarat? Entah la... saya kurang ambil tahu pulak. Tapi bleh la gi usha blog Pekmar nu.





Semua orang dah balik, baru lah Sofea boleh bermaharajalela kembali.
