Off to PD again

Aku selalu main Google Earth since 2006. Suka tengok obscure places yang tak pernah tau tempat tu wujud.

Contohnya Diomede Islands. Kira macam dua pulau berkembar la. Yang menarik nya, walaupun jarak kedua2 pulau tu hanya 4km dari satu sama lain, ye, 4km je, tapi satu pulau adalah kepunyaan Russia, dan satu lagi kepunyaan Alaska (US). Antara kedua2 pulau ni terletak International Date Line, lantas menyebabkan kedua2 pulau ni takkan berada dalam hari yang sama. Faham tak? Yang sebelah timur adalah Little Diomede, wilayah Alaska. Bila dia hari Isnin, yang sebelah barat tu, Big Diomede, wilayah Russia, dah masuk Selasa. 4km je bai. Tapi takkan berada dalam hari yang sama. Bayangkan kalau yang barat tu dah 1 Syawal, tak ke jealous yang sebelah timur tu? Kalau diorang sambut AidilFitri la.

Anyway, selain Diomede tu, banyak juga yang aku suka teliti kat Google Earth ni. Biasanya Pulau2 Tropika yang terletak di tempat pelik2, seperti kat tengah2 Pacific misalnya. Kalau kita zoom betul2 memang nampak betapa indahnya pantai2 di pulau2 yang jauh ni. Sebab dia jauh maka dia tak tercemar kot. Sebab kadang2 aku tengok rumah ada la setakat 3-4 bijik je. Ada la juga aku zoom in kat resort2 yang popular. Ok la. Tapi bila dah banyak bangunan kat persisir pantai tu, jadi tak best jugak.

So biasa la jugak aku pasang angan2 nak pergi pulau pelik2 ni. Cuma aku tak sure nak ambik flight dari mana. Entah2 memang takde flight pun ke sana. Entah2 rumah yang aku nampak 3-4 bijik tu cuma pondok nelayan kaum native di situ yang mungkin tinggal di pulau2 lain yang berhampiran. (Pacific banyak pulau weih.. tak habis nak tengok.) Mungkin cara ke sana cuma melalui perahu nelayan. Mungkin kalau aku pergi sana aku jadi makanan cannibal. Tapi aku tetap idamkan jugak satu hari nak pergi pulau2 pelik ni.

Jadi buat sementara waktu, aku layan la dulu apa yang ada. Siang nanti aku ada Family gathering lagi. Kat Port Dickson. July hari tu dah pergi dengan family aku. Kali ni family besar pulak. Maka satu perkara yang pasti, pesta kolestrol akan berlansung. Mak dan adik ketiga aku memang obses memasak.

Aku tak kisah, layankan je. Kalau boleh aku memang dah malas nak layan PD ni. Dah takde pantai lain ke? Kat semenanjung ni apa la yang ada sangat. Kat Sarawak tu ha... banyak lagi pantai yang fresh. Tak caya, tengok Google Earth. Hehehe.

Apa-apa pun, elok la juga, bawak bebudak ni breakaway sikit dari melayan kartun kat Astro Ceria Ch 611 tu tiap hari. Yang penting diorang happy. Berikut adalah contoh diorang tengah happy.

Kecik2 aku dah ajar layan Folk Metal. Selepas rakaman ini dilakukan, aku kena marah dengan bini.

Ada nampak Kereta modified pakai enjin jet kat mana-mana?

Aku tak tau nak start pikir celah mana.

1. Aku pelik camne benda ni boleh terjadi in the 1st place.
2. Aku pelik camne certain ppl yang tertulis 'guilty' atas dahi boleh selamba je buat2 macam everything is under control and we should all just shut up like we always do being who we are, the passive lot that they want us to be.

Menteri pertahanan kata:

"Beliau turut meminta bloggers tidak cuba untuk menyeleweng fakta dan memesongkan keadaan dengan pelbagai analisis dan spekulasi."*
*Dari http://feryco.com/enjin-jet-hilang-najib-patut-didakwa

Gila apa? Dah benda besar gabak camtu boleh hilang.... semua orang boleh come up with their own conclusion la wei... semua orang ada hak untuk berfikir. Unless kita semua ni memang dikehendaki untuk stay stupid and be quiet.

Bagi aku senang je. Imagine korang ada kedai dobi. Ok la Laundry. Tiap minggu tukar orang in charge. 2 minggu lepas ada customer hantar jacket mahal gilebabun sehelai.

Minggu ni orang lain in charge laundry tu. Dan baru disedari, jacket yang di hantar 2 minggu lepas tu dah hilang. Jacket tu besar dan tebal tau.

So, sapa korang nak suspect?

1. Makcik jual nasi lemak pagi2 kat seberang jalan kat Puncak Jalil tu.
2. Herman yang baru seminggu memasuki rumah kongsi kat belakang tu atas kehendak tugas. Herman baik orangnya. Amat meminati Siti Nurhalidja.
3. Brader yang tiap hari hantar t shirt Rancid pelbagai design untuk di basuh.
4. Customer yang tak reti nak collect Jacket sendiri cepat2.
5. Staff yang in charge minggu ni.
6. Staff yang in charge 2 minggu lepas.

But seriously folks. Benda besar gabak dan mahal macam tu.... after 2 years??? Apa jadi malam tu agaknya?

Ilustrasi di buat di waktu bekerja. TQ wahai pihak syarikat, atas gaji bute aku minggu ni.

Sound System cap aku

I know sometimes I don't listen to what others listen to. No popular radio stations for me. Most of the time I'd searched high and low on the Internet for something that can move me or at least have a bit of dignity to label itself as a song or an art form. But lately, I just indulge myself in some good tunes of yester years, stuffs that made things possible today like Soundgarden and Beatles, you know, things that everyday Malaysians who think Siti Nurhaliza iz da shiznit and kindergarten bands like Simple Plan and Good Charlotte are really hardcore don't really care to learn about.

Yea, I know, Baini said this is a blog about music, I mean, my idea of what is good and bad. So she might say; "Hah! I told you!!", if she wasn't so damn busy tonight that is. Really, you gotta give the girl some credits for doing what she does, dealing with all the bullshits and IQ bawah tapak kaki and such.

So...
Baini's busy. Bogus, Taufik and Awin are on leave for various reason. I have no work. So I have to post this.

Like I said earlier, I need something different and my need for something that sounds different doesn't limit itself to the music I listen to. I want it to sound different. I mean the sound. I don't use regular sound system, not if I can help it at least. Speaker dalam Iswara tu still standard jugak... tak mampu bai.

The only time I ever allow myself to own a regular radio/cassette player was back in 2004. CD and MP3 technology was already booming, but I insisted on buying that Sanyo cassette player, much to the Salesman's dissapoinment. Yup, I could tell. But I really wanted that Sanyo because it had a fairly rare line-in sockets, for a small size unit.

I used that for my Astro, to have a stereo sound when watching TV. My Samsung TV was mono btw. And I used that for my DVD player as well. And my PC.

Ok, I also owned an Enzer 5.1ch set of speakers. But rarely did I use it on its own. I used both my Enzer and my Sanyo together, to have a tricked-out sound. Together means having the sound travel through the Sanyo first, and then the Enzer.

Back when I was bujang, my mom didn't dare to enter my room because I had wires everywhere. On the floor, crossing the room from wall to wall and under the bed. Sounds and lights were turning the room into something else. I had a wonderland of my own back then. A wonderland so exclusive to myself, with the thick and heavy smell of smoke and tobacco and such.

What I had was actually a sound system that I made using a RM25.00 equalizer from Brothers, an adaptor, a walkman, several big and small boxes, and some electronic parts taken out of my dad's old ECE TV from 1978. And yeah, several tiny light bulbs and switches as well.

Sounds were coming from my bedside next to where I laid my head, from the panel next to where I perform my prayer, from the cabinet on the wall facing me and of course under the bed. I wish I can show you the picture but I can't seem to find it. Macam haram, nasib baik bunyi exclusive.

By the time I was busy with my wedding preparation in KL, mom threw away the whole unit and according to my sister, she burnt every last piece of cardboard box to ashes. Sedih gila. But then, I was about to get married, had to let go of those kinda things.

The thing is, old habits die hard. Being married, I have to cut down on forms of entertainment that can only entertain myself. My CDs are to be played in the car when there's only me in the car. The rest of my huge collection of MP3s can only be played at work. Yes, they do allow people to use headphones here. Explains why I'm still here after 4++ years.

So, folks, here is a picture of what I came out with recently. A toned-down version of my past glory (konon).

Dell technology + Philips casing, developed by me = MY SOUND. All mine. Bunyi macam gampang but it's all mine.

MP3 player can be replaced by a discman, or even sambung kat Astro kalau berani.

Next time aku nak try kotak besar bagak tapi still pakai speaker tu. Camne la agaknya bunyinya nanti. Aku tau kat Sect 2 Shah Alam ada jual RM12.00.

Passive Malaysian

Weekend baru ni balik kampung di Bentung, Pahang. Baru sedar dari rumah aku di Bandar Saujana Putra ke rumah parents aku di Bentung, aku kena lalu 5 highway. 5!!

Elite Highway, NKVE, Sprint, Duke and of course Karak Highway. Bentung bukan jauh sangat weih. Bukan di utara atau selatan atau pantai timur Semenanjung pun. Sedih tengok figure kat Touch N Go makin berkurang.

Still kena bayar road tax gak kan? Fuck!
Sebagai typical Malaysian, aku terima je. Kita ni kan pasif dan bodoh. Sebab tu keta Proton ada orang beli.

Idea dari Durian: Kisah yang menakutkan Baini

Aku ok je. Tapi aku tau Baini mesti takut giler kalau jadi camni...

Kisah office yang kadang-kadang macam circus

Maybe I’ve had enough of this clowning....

Mungkin aku sudah muak dengan ini melucu....

शायद मैं इस मजाक से तंग आ गया हूँ....

Benda-benda macam ni yang buat aku segar kerja malam ni.... ramai circus performers walking around, menyamar sebagai boss....
