Khairy Jamaluddin: The Man With The Plan
Hate him or Love him, this is the man to watch. Kenapa? because this man is reshaping the future of Malaysia, politically. This is just my opinion, but I do believe if he survives his test of leading UMNO Youth without relying on his PM Father-in-law like what we seem to label him before, he will be the one to unite us as Malaysian again. With his in-your-face approach, his flair and his ability to see and think ahead, for sure he injects new blood and definitely new style in his leadership. We lack young leaders like him, and I really hope that he's as good as his words on bringing the change.. Yes, before, I am not his fan, but I would like to really see his true self, and his worth.. Go Khairy..

TWILIGHT
I am considered useless for almost one week. Every free time I've got was consumed by them. Every sleep I had been dreaming about them. I am the latest casualty of the Vampire and Wolf people.. and I blame my Cousin @dr3h.. hehee
Macam gila pulak aku rasa.. macam budak-budak pun ada.. lost in fantasy world. The only difference maybe is that I didnt fall in love with any character. I love the whole alternate universe. Read all of them twice. And sometimes in between dreams I dreamt extra chapters that wasn't in the book. Other times it's just different endings, different directions different character development. I never got so absorbed in a story the way this one got to me. I even got to the war that ends the Volturi's supremacy and The Cullens will forge a new Empire with the wolves. Lucu..lucu.. I cant understand much of this new obsession. Maybe this has always been what I need to read. Maybe it brings back the child in me, the make-believe world of sorts, and the positive, look-at-the-bright-side, good-will-always-win belief that almost lost within me... hehe...
So that's your cue, cuz, to let me in if u happen to come accross anything as exciting as this one...

WHAT THE F...
This is about UMNO. I am not a political fanatic, nor did I even care about politics before. Hate to imagine it, but WHO CARES ANYWAY, RIGHT? AS LONG AS WE HAVE MONEY TO BURN, WE WILL ALWAYS BE IN THE VIP SECTION LAUGHING DOWN ON THOSE FOOLS THINKING THEY CAN CHANGE THE WORLD WITH JUST A POCKET FULL OF DUST AND BROOM IN THEIR HANDS...

Bahasa Melayu - English = Kemajuan Bangsa dan Negara atau Bahasa Melayu + English = Kemajuan Bangsa dan Negara?
Rasanya terpanggil untuk aku menyampaikan dan menulis mengenai topik ini. Secara jujurnya sebab utama aku ingin mengulas tentang topik ini adalah ekoran dari Demonstrasi menentang PPSMI baru-baru ini, yang secara ikhlasnya bagi pendapat aku amat mengejutkan. Terutamanya apabila salah seorang yang mengikuti demonstrasi ini adalah antara orang yang selama ini cukup aku hormati pemikirannya, A. Samad Said.
Antara sebab atau aku rasa lebih sesuai dilabelkan sebagai alasan mereka ialah 'pembunuhan Bahasa Melayu' dan 'majoriti rakyat menolak Matapelajaran Sains dan Matematik dalam English'. Persoalannya benarkah Bahasa Melayu akan 'terbunuh' dengan pelaksanaan PPSMI ini dan benarkah majoriti rakyat Malaysia atau orang2 Melayu menolaknya? Aku rasa persoalan ini haruslah dijawab oleh setiap individu yang merasa diri mereka Rakyat Malaysia, Orang Melayu, mahupun Bumiputera Sabah dan Sarawak sendiri. Blogku ini cukuplah untuk mengutarakan pendapatku sendiri sahaja.
Apakah impian setiap rakyat, sama ada Melayu, bukan Melayu, atau Bumiputera Sabah dan Sarawak ini bila berkaitan dengan masa depan Negara Malaysia ini? Aku tidak boleh jawab untuk mereka, tapi bagi aku ialah melihat Negara ini maju, berdikari, dan kuat, dalam ertikata lain, aku mahu Malaysia pada satu masa nanti tidak perlu gusar akan tekanan negara-negara maju, dihormati kerana pencapaian-pencapaian Ekonomi, Teknologi, dan penguasaan ilmu dalam bidang-bidang yang luas. Jadi apakah salahnya belajar Sains dan Matematik dalam Bahasa Inggeris? Mungkin bagi bidang sastera, penguasaan Bahasa Inggeris boleh dikatakan tidak relevan, tetapi sekurang-kurangnya untuk kedua-dua matapelajaran Sains dan Matematik ianya agak penting.
Mungkin ada pihak yang akan berhujah, kalau setakat mahukan penguasaan Bahasa Inggeris tidak perlulah ajar Sains dan Matematik dalam Bahasa Inggeris. Aku bukanlah orang yang pandai untuk membuat penjelasan dan huraian, tapi disitulah mereka-mereka ini membuat kesilapan yang besar. Pandai Bahasa Inggeris bukan bermakna orang itu akan automatik boleh jadi saintis, kerana bukanlah bahasa Inggeris itu yang menjadi masalahnya, tetapi istilah, terma, jargon (apakah terjemahan Bahasa Melayu untuk jargon?) untuk bidang itu yang akan memberi masalah dan menentukan tahap penguasaan kita dalam ilmu itu. Untuk mempelajari dan menguasai sesuatu ilmu, rasionalnya kita mesti belajar dahulu bahasa ilmu itu. Setelah kita berjaya menguasai ilmu-ilmu ini, dan menghasilkan pakar-pakar yang tidak terbilang banyaknya, barulah kita boleh secara perlahan-lahan menghasilkan istilah, terma, dan jargon-jargon kita dalam Bahasa Ibunda kita. Mungkin ramai pelajar Matematik Tambahan di zaman aku sekolah boleh jawab soalan mengenai Sisihan Piawai, tapi bila diajukan soalan mengenai Standard Deviation akan terkebil-kebil, sedangkan ia adalah benda yang sama cuma dalam bahasa yang berbeza. Tiada masalah bagi aku sekiranya kita menterjemah ilmu itu ke dalam bahasa kita sendiri, Bahasa Melayu hatta Bahasa Brunei atau Dusun sekalipun, tapi sekiranya kita berfikir, apakah kegunaannya? tidak praktikal di masa sekarang kerana firma-firma yang menjalankan kajian untuk menghasilkan teknologi ataupun produk berasaskan sains tidak akan bertanya dan berkomunikasi dengan Bahasa Melayu atau Brunei atau Dusun dsb. Maka apa yang kita harus buat? bagi aku aku akan belajar ilmu itu dalam bahasa yang memudahkan aku untuk mempraktikkannya kemudian.
Ada juga pihak yang mempertahankan golongan pendemonstrasi ini dengan menggunakan Jepun, Perancis, Jerman dan beberapa negara Eropah yang lain. Mereka mengatakan negara-negara ini tidak perlu belajar sains dalam Bahasa Inggeris untuk jadi negara maju. Ini adalah kurang tepat. Kenapa? cubalah lihat jurnal-jurnal sains antarabangsa yang ditulis oleh saintis-saintis terkemuka Jepun, Perancis dan Jerman, Bahasa apakah yang mereka gunakan untuk menerbitkan jurnal mereka? Cuma kelebihan mereka ialah kerana mereka sudah begitu maju, maka untuk penemuan-penemuan terbaru di peringkat awal, mereka boleh memilih untuk menulis dalam bahasa mereka agar orang bangsa lain tidak faham. Walaubagaimanapun, sebelum mereka boleh buat begitu, mereka juga mempelajari Sains dan Matematik dalam Bahasa Ilmu setiap bidang untuk menguasai ilmu itu, berpuluh-puluh malah beratus tahun dahulu.
Pendapatku, tidak payahlah menentang, tidak rugi belajar dalam Bahasa Inggeris kerana sehebat manapun orang Melayu atau apa2 bangsa dalam bahasa Inggeris, dia tetap tidak akan melupakan bahasa ibundanya. Contoh? jangan tengok jauh, ambil sahaja orang-orang India dan Cina, kita paksa mereka belajar dalam bahasa Melayu dari kecil dalam majoriti matapelajaran, sehingga ramai dari mereka yang mendapat keputusan cemerlang dalam Matapelajaran Bahasa Melayu di peringkat menengah, dan ramai juga bilangan mereka yang memasuki fakulti sastera di universiti-universiti tempatan. Lupakah mereka Bahasa ibunda mereka?.. tidak kan?.
Jadi dari membuang tenaga dan sel-sel otak untuk buat penentangan dan demonstrasi jalanan, lebih baik mereka berusaha memikirkan bagaimana PPSMI boleh dipertingkatkan dari segi kaedah pelaksanaannya, bagaimana pelaksanaan yang sesuai agar tiada pihak yang tersisih dan terpinggir dari mencapai kemajuan diri dan penguasaan ilmu. Otak yang baik seperti A. Samad Said dan cerdik-cerdik pandai lain seperti bekas Profesor Sains UKM tu lebih berguna sekiranya digunakan untuk memikirkan bagaimana untuk upgrade PPSMI dan memberi faedah kepada semua rakyat Malaysia umumnya dan orang Melayu khususnya, daripada menyertai demonstrasi yang akan downgrade kita semua di mata dunia.
Takkan Melayu Hilang Di Dunia, Tapi apa gunanya tidak hilang di dunia kalau jadi bangsa yang mundur, lemah, berpecah belah, berfikiran sempit, tidak memberi kesan kewujudannya, memilih untuk sentiasa merungut dan buat demonstrasi jalanan? Lebih Baik Melayu Dihapuskan Dari Mukabumi Dari Jadi Bangsa Yang Memalukan dan tidak Relevan. Nasib baik aku Orang Brunei, hehehe

Book Reading
During my recent visit to KL, I managed to spend some time to go into MPH bookstore, to reindulge my former passion, reading. I bought 5 books, from authors Robert Ludlum (my all time favorite writer) and Stephanie Meyer. I finished reading all but one. Here's the book list:
ROBERT LUDLUM'S THE BOURNE LEGACY - this book tells the story of the infamous spy/assassin Jason Bourne/David Webb, sometime after the Ultimatum, he's living as Professor Webb, an English Lecturer. He's trying to forget his other identity as Bourne and lead a happy and peaceful life with his wife and two children. But it seems that everything conspired against him ditching Bourne from his life...
ROBERT LUDLUM'S THE JANSON DIRECTIVE - This one also tells a story about Paul Janson a retired Spy/assassin, recalled to action for the last time only to realize that he was being used as a tool and framed for the crime, resulting the CIA to order a death sanction and other Intelligence Agency worldwide against him. The plot and twist of this story was so thrilling. It's Classic Ludlum.
ROBERT LUDLUM'S THE LAZARUS VENDETTA - This book is about terrorism beyond what we ever imagined, the danger of man abusing the wonder of technology, and the clever and almost perfect planning by the Lazarus Movement, only to be foiled by Covert-One's Colonel Jon Smith..
ROBERT LUDLUM'S THE SCORPIO ILLUSION - Havent finished this one, but basically its about a woman named Amaya Bajarrat, a very cunning, very dangerous one, master of creating diversion, illusion, with an arm in almost every government and organization. A woman whose motto is 'Death to all authority'...
STEPHANIE MEYER'S TWILIGHT - This one was a pleasant surprise for me. Seen the movie before, and this is wayyy better. Actually regret of not buying all series of the Twilight Saga. When I was at the bookstore I was contemplating on having the complete Saga (New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, is it all?) but finally chose to buy just Twilight.
I have rediscovered my lost passion, but my wife already complaining that I'm always with a book.. hehehe.. She even asked "am I boring you already?" hehe..

My Holidays
Hi all, been quite a while since I wrote anything significant in this realm of my thoughts.. well I been busy with work, and other stuff that occupied so much of my time.
I just wanna give y'all some update about my recent holidays with my better half. We went to KL with obviously different things in our minds-I would like to just enjoy my day off and relax, Maya on the other hand wanna go on a shopping frenzy. But it turned out that none of us were really satisfied on the outcome, and I blame it on our lack of planning, hehe..
First day (its actually an evening) we arrived, Merina my sil picked us up at the airport and we sped off to have chicken rice at Bukit Bintang. I ate 2 sets of those!.. then we went back to the house, at Taman Maluri. About the house, it was so conveniently located just outside KL, took just 5 minutes to go to Bukit Bintang, and about 10 to KLCC (via the new highway, and of course without the traffic jam la). Then we made a decision that will affect the rest of our days, a poor one, at that too.. We decided to visit KL's club scene, and believe me when I say it's just inappropriately timed, not that we didnt have a good time at The Loft KL, honestly we did, but at the expense of our energy..
Next morning(if u can consider 1.00pm as morning!) we woke up with that soreness in our bodies, the kind that you get after you went jogging for 10 miles.. but that didnt stop My Better Half from her frenzies.. while I just mostly sat down and fought off my hangover and soreness. There's something a lil' bit strange tho' in this recent holidays, even though my wife still got that shopping frenzy, she managed to avoid the 'usual' places that we frequently visit while we dated, and I'm sooo relieved even though I was wondering inside. She didnt even stop at any of the LVs, Pradas, and even at Pavilion, the only frightening time for me was when she just went in the Coach store and looked at the bags, but didnt buy em.. anyways, call me cheap but I am so glad.. hehe..
So where did she satisfy her thirst for shopping, you might ask? Its in Times Square, where the price hovers around 25 ringgits and no more than 100s. Tapi, even begitu pun, baju2 and the bags and whatever that ladies bought in their shopping spree, translated into 2 big boxes, hehe, girls will be always be girls.. I on the other hand was not planning to shop, but she finally convinced me to buy one Polo shirt and 2 bottles of my favorite perfume Carolina Hererra 212 and Dunhill Desire Blue.
We did have the chance to spend some time with Mibol, my youngest sister. Even planned to make her stay with us in Maluri but unfortunately she's having her BTN the next day.. so maybe next time la, we'll bring her shopping and have fun together..
Well this is it for this time, time constraint bah.. see you...

Something for The Future..
Been hunting for a house to call my own, after weeks of choosing the right one, finally We decided to buy an Apartment in Bandar Utama Sandakan. Utama Court 2, a 3 Bedrooms 2 bathrooms 8 storey apartment (elevator, of course), with 1145 sq.ft of built area. It's all about the location and future development. From the Main Project Proposal, Bandar Utama will be the next Hub for Sandakan. With a 5 star Hotel and Shopping Mall in progress, Giant Hypermarket, Stadium (Football and Rugby Field), Olympic sized Swimming Pools, I can't refuse the temptation to own an adress in Sandakan's Premier Location. Paid the booking fee already and now in progress of arranging the Sale & Purchase Agreement and bank loan. This is surely one for the future...

Well, hehe I have nothing against being a daddy, in fact I would love to see a mini version of me running around the house creating havoc for Maya and I. But I would like you (daddys and mummys) the reader of my state of mind to give me any advice on what to expect, and the do's and dont's. Doesnt even matter the pros and cons, I want every advice I can get my hands on.. so I can be prepared for the unknown (I know nobody can get prepared enough for this).

Futsal..
Last weekend me and my boys went to KK to participate in State level Futsal tournament (for my Department). We sent 2 teams from Sandakan, Mabuhay FC and Narkoba FC. I was the captain for Mabuhay FC. Both teams progressed well through group stages, Us being the Group A Champion and Narkoba second in Group B. But it was unfortunate for me when I was badly injured (my ankle got twisted in 3rd group match and then in final group match the tactic used by our opponent was to eliminate me from the game, being the playmaker and to stop me from distributing nice passes to Raihan, the most feared shooter in the tournament). I almost cried not just because of the pain, but mostly because I can't bear to watch the rest of my teammates played and struggled beyond their limit to defend our 2 goals lead and eventually win, getting us through to quarter finals.
In quarter finals match against the favorite team (seeded 1st in the tournament) which consist of state players, I was sidelined because I can barely walk, but when we were 2 goals down with just 4 minutes to go, I braved myself and tied my futsal boots so tight that I felt numb so I can bear the tremendous pain. I told the manager to please let me play, and as soon as I got inside the court, I have managed to change the flow of our game. I managed to orchestrate a very nice move and slide a piercing through pass for Isa to score. 2-1 was the score and 1 minute to go.. my right ankle was so painful and almost gone, and I guess its just the spirit and will to win that keep me going. I run like hell all over the court, hustling the opponent and suddenly the ball was at my feet, I dunno how, but I did my magic and Goall!! the score was 2-2 just a few second before the final whistle, and I dropped to the ground, unable to withstand the pain, I cant even move my right leg without screaming. The match ended in a 2-2 draw full time. It came down to penalty shoot-out and I didnt get to be replaced. The rules said only the players inside the court can take penalty, that means I have to kick the ball with literally one good foot left. How can I, seriously, kick a ball when I can barely stand up? So we lose by 1 penalty kicks, every players scored except me (because I cant kick the ball, remember?) I guess it just wasnt our day..
But that wasnt the worse, Narkoba FC also got through to Quarter Finals, draw 2-2 and lose by flip of a 20 cents coin. That was so ridiculous, not to be sore losers but hey, is it fair to determine the fate of a team with a 20 cents coin, when you could think of at least ten other ways to conclude a game?.. U can recycle the penalty kickers until one of them misses, there is also sudden death extra time, but seems like the advantage was given to the home teams.. well it just wasnt our tournament to win, but most of the spectators, neutrals especially admitted both Mabuhay and Narkoba deserved to go further. Guess which team won the tournament, the team that beat us was the champ and the team that beat Narkoba was 2nd..
Next time will be different.. be sure of it. We are now the force to be reckoned with..

Pertempuran Berdarah 2009
Well, one of my 2009 resolution is to stay low keyed in some areas, especially violence. But what can I say? sometimes even how hard you try to avoid trouble, it tries even harder to find you.. this is my story..

Selamat Pengantin Baru..
One day last week time balik kerja tiba2 ternampak satu kad jemputan kahwin atas meja: Pn. Maya dan suami. So aku buka la tengok siapa yang kawin.. Written on the inside Kartini Abdullah dan Muhaizad bin Ahmad Mustapha.. nikahnya di Taman Mawar 17 Januari 2009, dan majlis persandingannya pula di Sanbay Hotel 18 Januari (semalam) jam 7 malam. Anda recognize siapa Muhaizad bin Ahmad Mustapha? dia lebih dikenali dengan nama glamornya Ako Mustapha. Majlis nikahnya hari tu dihadiri juga oleh Encik Cip Kodok iaitu Afdlin Shauki himself, tapi kejap jak la.. time sanding cip tiada datang.. aku pun ndak datang masa sanding tu sebab training futsal untuk tournament di KK Ahad ni.. Maya jak yang pigi, menurut Maya nda juga berapa meriah majlis tu.. meriah lagi majlis kami di sabah Hotel last year.. sempat jugalah Maya ambil gambar kenangan dengan pengantin malam semalam.. Mungkin majlis tu sederhana sebab Ako nda mau kecoh2.. apa2pun selamat pengantin baru...
Bah, sampai sini la dulu celoteh hari ni.. see you when I see you guys.. bye.

Goodbye 2008, Hello 2009
Selamat tinggal 2008, tahun yang banyak kenangan suka dan duka bagi aku. Kepada reader blog ni, I'm sorry for all the wrong things I've done, directly or indirectly.. hope this year akan bring more happiness, health and wealth for all of us..
Ok, sebelum aku merapu banyak, I know I have somekind of 'hutang' with y'all, about the stories I promised to tell y'all.. hehe.. Sorry too much was goin' on that I can't seem to find the time to write. I don't think it matters anymore (basi plak sudah rasanya).. But I'll just fill you in with my original points, minus the elaborate storytelling that I was supposed to do.. hehe...
1. Pierre Andre- I think this guy was one of the most talented people in Malaysia, nuff said.
2 Myvi - Accident hari tu, ada macik ni anaknya kawin di rumah sebelah, jadi dia parking siring jalan, time aku limpas, nda lagi meninguk2 trus dia buka pintu.. next thing I know 'kprasck!!' luckily I dint crash into her.. but its okay now.
3. proton MSX - Super 3.0 SUV (almost like Caldina in appearance) a Proton-Lotus concept car, with reported ability to accelerate at the pace of 0-100 in only 5+ second and top speed 250km/h.. what do u think?
4. Hari IM***N Malaysia - Everything went well, I was the Emcee for Majlis Perhimpunan and the Sabah Hotel Dinner (this one had to replace Mr. Ismail Wahab at the last minute). The State Director seems Pleased with us.. so I guess its kinda OK..
5. Tawau - Busy btul schedule kami di Twu, kami konvoi dari sandakan dalam 20 kereta, sampai Tawau petang 26hb..
*alamak.. nanti aku edit lagi.. ada pula kerja lagi.. tunggu...
