it has been 100 days

the honeymoon is over. That was said by tan sri khalid while addressing the selangor civil servants last monday. There were also prayers held in conjuction with the celebration to mark the 100 days pakatan rakyat in power and governing selangor at state and also district level. The state celebration was held at the stadium melawati, shah alam last friday

i was not able to be there on both occasion as i had some other function to attend to. Serving under the current goverment does not make much different with the previous one. But one thing for sure, they are doing their level best to deliver promises made prior to the last general election. Some has been implemented while some is on their way. The only different that i noticed is the head of dept will be given a free hand in performing their duties but of course they have to perform. The new govt seems to be more approachable

at the moment selangor is looking at ways to enrich its coffer and the main agenda now seem to be the 'pasir'. Permits will be issue again in order for the market to have the supply and it will be done in a better ways where the operators will have to pay the govt around rm3 - rm4 per ton beside another 25% of the total value of the 'pasir' before the operators are being allow to start their operations. It is hoped that all the red tape would be cut and the operators will have less head ache in doing businesses. In a simple words it is going to be legalise.

it was a good idea and i believe it is going to be a good revenue for selangor. Some new measures are going to be announce soon such as the use of a special gadget to weight the sands and it will be send straight to the system and the monitoring will be done at three (3) differents level. Lets wait for June 26th for the announcement. The state govt is targeting an additional income of between rm150m - rm200m a year when it is implemented and i was made to understand that the permits will be issued come this July

having the chance to talk and having tea with tan sri recently during his visit to my centre (the first agency visited by him after becoming menteri besar), i could see that he is a down to earth man. Having served in a few congelemerates companies, his vast experiences will be a bonus to selangor. One could not bulldozz thru as far as figure is concern as he will has the answer before you could press your calculator. Selangorian will be enjoying free water supply up to rm11.40 per each individual meter this month.

Hoped there will be more to come for the benefit of all and for the opposition in selangor, they have to work really hard if they want to wrest selangor back in the next general election as the rakyat will be observing your performances.

may selangor stands tall among all the roses in malaysia

i had visitors

as i was viewing my postings i noticed that there were two commets for the lastest one. It came from two of my nephew, one residing in Doha at the moment and the other in Bangi. Both were my ardent supporters and they gave a great comments on their che (grandpa). Loved to learned that they were enjoying their good life and of course with a happy family. Hoping that the strong relationship among us will be there for the years to comes and as i mentioned earlier we owed it to both the late arwah.

visited their blogs, a good writer jugak. Adik2 bising abg ja depa dah lama lama tak dtg rumah. Yani dah nak sambung study nak buat Phsycology kat Help University College and the semester start this coming August (the fees .....malas nak fikir lagi). Adik nak ke Kota Bharu for the final round of Wira Cup debate early July while Yah dok tension sb kurang study as PMR dah dekat. To the one kat Doha, take good care of yrself and of course not to forget to your lovely wife.

i had a gift from my three girls recently sempena hari bapa (nanti nak masukkan kat sini). But the father still got to pay for the dinner. They were growing up fast and sometimes i got cornered by them as the mum will say, i didn't teach them so. For all your love, thank you my girls and most of all to my lovely wife who has been my good supporter and companion all this while.

we are only visitors to this world and won't be here forever, so fikir-fikirkanlah.

as tears drop by

i was driving to my office this morning with the dee jay from hot fm hot on air. The topic that they were discussing was the best ever momories with your father / daddy. They were taking phone calls from the listener on air. Most came up with the best memoir and almost all the callers hails their fatrher as the best man on earth.

the memories of my late bapak came in while i was listening and without realising it i felt tears were coming down from my eyes. Ah....bapak, what a wonderful man you were and the way i was brought up by you made me what i am today. You tought me right from wrong and made me a strong man who could survice in this world. Thanx apak. Al fatihah.

the training given by you have made me stronger each day and i am doing it now to my childrens. The only different was, i was a bit hot tempered but i'm proud to say that all my daughters would like to have someone with my characters as their companion later. It was all due to you.

you also taught me to always love my sibblings (adik beradik) and though you and mum were not around we always make it a point to ghater when we have the oppurtunity. We just had some prayers for you recently

may you and mum rests in peace and Allah be with you.

( in conjuction with fathers day this coming sunday )

sekolah dah mula

hari ini sekolah bagi semester baru tlh bermula dgn resminya. Anak2 dan isteriku telah dengan redha atau pun tidak menghayun langkah ke sekolah pagi tadi. Aku menghantar anak2ku ke sekolah seperti biasa manakala isteriku memandu sendiri. Semuanya 'liat' nak ke sekolah, maklumlah dah cuti selama 2 minggu. Bagi anak2ku, bermula semester ini bermakna peperiksaan mereka semakin hampir. Tumpukan perhatian kalian kepada study kerana keputusan exam nanti akan mencorakkan masa hadapan. Apak dan mak cuma dapat membantu setakat terdaya kami sahaja tetapi realitinya ia terletak di tangan kalian.

isteriku pasti akan kembali sibuk dengan tugasannya di sekolah. Disamping itu menghantar dan mengambil anak2 tuition akan menjadi routine yg wajib sehinggalah exam over. Mengenali kedua2 anakku yang akan mengambil exam tahun ini aku yakin bahawa mereka akan mendapat keputusan yang cemerlang nanti. Masing2 ada kelebihan sendiri.

bagi isteriku, sudah tentu akan memberikan komitment yang tinggi terhadap kerjayanya. Itulah kekuatan yang ada padanya, tidak akan mudah mengalah walau pun kadang2 menghadapi tekanan atau stress yang amat sangat dgn tugasannya. Mungkin itulah kelebihannya, maka kerjaya perguruan menjadi pilihannya. Minatnya untuk mendidik anak2 bangsa dan menjadikan mereka insan yang berguna tidak pernah pudar dan luntur. Kadang2 aku turut terharu bila mendengar ceritanya bagaimana dia didatangi oleh bekas anak2 muridnya yang telah berjaya dan mereka tidak lokek untuk meluahkan kata2.....cikgu telah menjadikan saya manusia hari ini dan cikgu juga telah menjadi pendorong saya. Ah...betapa murninya. Terharu sekali apabila mendengarnya. ( ini semua akan mengingatkan aku kepada semua bekas2 guruku, terima kasih cikgu )

so...best of luck to both of you my dearest daughters and not to forget my lovely wife.

minyak naik lagi

malas nak menulis, tak de mood

penangan nasi kandar penang

tiba di penang pd ptg khamis jam 4.30 dan bernasib baik krn sepupu isteri tlh berjaya dapatkan bilik di Cititel hotel. Cuti sekolah ni most of the hotels fully occupied. We checked in and had some rests b4 going for the first nasi kandar. My wife cousin took us to Kampong Melayu to try the best nasi kandar ( bagi dialah). Semua tgh lapar, so kira oklah. We proceed to visit another cousin ( sblh wife ) dekat penjara, penang. They were living in a bungalow meant for the staff. Very lavish and convinient. Kami sembang agak lama and by 12 m'nite back to hotel.

friday morning we went to bukit bendera and manage to be up there by 9.30. Jambatan gantung was a must and my daughters and I really enjoyed ourselves. My wife? asyik menjerit bila kami goyang dan henjut the jambatan. It was fun

we spent almost two hrs up there enjoying the scenery of penang from the top. Had our lunch by the seaside somewhere near bt maung dekat gerai run by my junior kat sekolah (fendi pt buntar, of KE VII). Fresh fishs of course menyelerakan.

ptg kami did some shopping. My wife dgn ala hindustaninya yg tak dpt nak cari kat KL even kat masjid india area. Night market di batu feringgi was our next stop. There adik were busy trying some new handbags with syakirah. But they missed their eldest yg tak dpt join, so mcm tak cukup korum.

the next nasi kandar was b4 we go to batu feringgi and this time of course dekat LINE CLEAR. Yg ni my wife enjoyed, tapi katanya tak blh lawan nasi ganja kat ipoh.

we singgah kat my bro hse di pt buntar otw back on saturday. Visiting my mak mertua kat bt gantang was the next stop b4 proceeding home to KL. Some lauk pauk from line clear were our goodies for her. The two daughters of my bro in law follow us back to KL to enjoy their holidays kat Sunway Lagoon selepas digula2 oleh adik and Yah.

alhamdulillah we reached home safely on Sat at 9.30pm but I sakit perut dan berulang alik ke bilik termenung sampai lembik

sehari di kampong

last wed kami sekeluarga pulang ke kpg utk bersama2 dgn ahli keluarga lain di dalam satu majlis sempena memperingati arwah2 yg tlh pergi. Only my eldest tak dpt ikut sama krn beliau kerja. It was a good ghatering as most of my relatives turned up and the gotong royong spirit still exist lively as semuanya bekerjasama menyediakan masakan utk tetamu.

my two daughters seronok sekali dan they were seen disturbing their aunties and uncles in the lively afternoon. They took the chances to ride a motorcycle kliling kampong and after making one round they arrived home safely but.......depa jatuh bila lost control of the bike bila motor reversed. Ha....ha.....ha......ha......They also did what they loved most, minum air kelapa. They themselves ambik from the tree and potong it. It was really fun to them. The menu were : kari daging dgn umbut nyior, ayam goreng berempah dan paling best kerabu umbut bayas ( ni org sblh kpg saya je yg tau). my wife punyalah meratah kerabu sampai kenyang. Really sedap katanya. It was held at my younger brother hse

we put up at my eldest brother hse as it was cold at nite and my daughters really enjoyed the suasana and also rumah kampong. Without aircond, but it was still so sejuk as everyone of us berebut selimut

the next day we went to felda lubok merbau (kat kedah) to attend the wedding of my cousins daughter and son. The two tied the knots together. It was a long journey and it was my first visit there. The menu was of kampong atmosphere with ulam and sambal. The main was masak lemak ikan kering with nanas. It gave me the oppurtunity to meet some of my relatives whom I have not met for sometimes. It was a great ghatering indeed.

our next stop was penang as planned. (to be continued)
