mahathir

anwar


najib







Aku baru sahaja mula belajar menulis diblog sebab tak ada apa yang nak buat dirumah. Maklum lah aku duda, tumpang rumah anak ! Kerja pun aku buat part time atau ada projek projek tertentu aje, baru orang panggil aku datang sebab contact aku pun ramai yang hebat hebat tapi tak tau nak gunakan untuk kepentingan aku sendiri. Itu yang anak anak, kawan kawan aku marah, aku tak reti nak melobi ! Sekarang ni aku tolong kawan kawan buat advertising di bas bas sekolah. Company kawan aku dapat kontrak 12,000 bus sekolah diMalaysia untuk dipasang iklan iklan . Jadi kalau ada yang berminat, telefon lah aku.


Aku selalu membaca blog chedet.com, padi, dll tetapi aku tak tau macam mana nak balas. Anak sulong aku Adli Efffendy belajar IT, jadi aku suruh lah dia tolong ajar, lepas tu aku jadi ketagih. syok rupa nya. Dia kata kalau aku tak pandai IT nanti orang ketawakan aku macam aku tertawakan datok, nenek aku dulu yang tak pandai membaca. betul jugak kata dia tu.. Aku suka membaca hal hal politik sebab muda muda dulu pernah juga aktif dalam UMNO tetapi selalu kena keluar duit dari poket sendiri, aku miskin mana nak mampu. Semenjak itu aku dah tak mau bayar yuran lagi, tak tau lah masih ahli UMNO lagi ke tidak.


Cerita pasal UMNO ini, aku dah baca, dengar dan tengok macam macam dari muda sampai sekarang. Selalu sangat begolak, Tak tau lah bila agak nya akan reda. Sekarang ni pulak Mahathir kata ini, Pak Lah kata gitu, Anwar kata lain pulak, Najib kadang kadang buka mulut, kadang kadang senyap saje. Diam diam berisi dia ini. Dalam diam dia ngap semua, gigit jari semua orang. Sekarang ni apa pun dicakap, dibuat tak pernah senada macam lagu lagu Tan Sri P Ramlee dulu . Tapi tidak apa lah , itu hal mereka yang arif, aku kerdil dan tak ber ilmu sangat, nak cakap dan buat macam mana? nanti cakap lebih lebih kena pulak Akta Hasutan dan ISA. Seram aku benda benda ini !


Sambil aku membuat kesimpulan sendiri tentang apa yang berlaku dalam UMNO, dan politik tanah air, aku teringat kan tentang firasat Pak Sheikh dulu tentang siapa yang akan jadi PM Malaysia, daripada perkataan RAHMAN - R ahman, A bdul Razak, H ussein , M ahathir, A bdullah dan setakat ini nampak nya tepat, cuma N sahaja yang tinggal, Najib ke? Mungkin lah kalau kita tengok dari hiraki sekarang. Tetapi Mahathir pulak kata dia dah tak percaya kan Najib lagi? Ye lah tak apa, sebab Mahathir pun dah keluar UMNO. Habis siapa ? Mahathir lagi sekali ? atau Anwar? Tidak nampak pulak aku kemungkinan nya. dari huruf N tadi. A lagi?Ali Rustam? atau Nurul Izzah ? Nazeri? eh jauh sangat !! Nanti kesian pulak Pak Sheikh buat ramalan yang dah tua dari anak sulong aku, Adli Effendy tadi. Aku tak nampak pun Menteri Menteri lain sebab ada yang cakap English pun tunggang terbalik.Dalam Parlimen tengok lah sendiri, sudah jadi macam pasar borong, tepuk tepuk meja dan ada pulak yang tidur (penat baru balek tengok kawasan kot) Anak kecik aku pun boleh buat macam itu. Aku tidak risau sangat Melayu mana pun jadi PM, aku bukan boleh dekat dengan mereka pun, Open House pun aku tak pernah pergi, salam tangan pun tak pernah, tambah lagi nak mintak itu ini. malas aku nak layan lah ! Janji sekarang aku dapat teruskan hidup, makan ala kadar, maklum lah dah tak mampu nak makan a la Buffet atau a la Carte ! sebab dulu pun aku pernah kaya, ada bisnes resort sendiri, pakai BMW, Mercedes, PerdanaV6, Gen 2, tetapi nasib aku berubah sekelip mata... jatuh miskin balek. Tapi...Tak apa lah kuasa Tuhan (Aku bukan nak salahkan Tuhan, jangan silap sangka) salah aku !


Aku dah tulis kat blog chedet.com dan padi, kalau UMNO nak selamat kena ikut firasat aku pula. Mereka kena duduk semeja dan buat berbincang. Siapa? tak kan aku dengan Red1 pulak ? Empat orang ini lah. A bdullah, M ahathir, A nwar, N ajib. baru boleh AMAN tetapi kalau di terbalik kan UMNO tinggal N A M A sahaja, betul tak kata aku? Tun Mahathir sekarang ni dah berjangkit aura Mawi Raja SMS, aku nak gelar Tun Mahathir Raja Blog pula, sebab baru sebulan sudah ada 1 juta.. fuuyooh ! Aku start sebulan awal dari dia, dia dah ada "The Millionairs Club "members tetapi aku pulak ada "The Million Hairs Club" sebab umur dah senja tetapi rambut aku cantik lagi, tak macam rambut Pak lah, Anwar dan Najib !


Beginilah, kita tengok tengok dan tunggu dulu, Firasat aku rasa ada kejutan dalam tahun ini. Baik atau buruk aku belum dapat tau lagi, tetapi yang pasti kita akan tahu cerita cerita panas, sensasi , mungkin kontroversi dari mulut mereka mereka tadi.


Walau apa pun, Aku pun dah pernah jadi PM ( Pokai Man) !!


Sekarang ramai sangat orang nak masuk syurga, tetapi suruh mati tak mau, Habis.. macam mana nak masuk syurga ?

Ex Wife Dilemma


It was quite sometimes that I didn't hear from my 2nd ex wife. However, yesterday while I was on the way for a meeting at Petaling Jaya, I received a short SMS from her which read "Hi... How r u? Daughter OK? " . She asked for our 6 years old daughter who is in my custody. She had not seen her daughter for more than 2 years after I "kidnapped" her from kindergaten. No... I was not cruel.. It was her fault ! After the divorce, my ex wife and family refused to let me visit my daughter , so the only lesson I taught them was to take my daughter away from them. Normally I just didn't bother to reply when she contacted me as she hurt my feelings so much after a 5 years old marriage she decided to leave me. For me, it was another blow to my marriage which I wished could last forever . I was very down, back to my old habit of drinking, enjoying at pubs, discos every nights and became half crazy . I replied in short SMS too as I didn't want to be in contact with her again, but she kept on sending me one SMS to another. I knew there should be something she wanted to tell me !

I told her that I was having meeting and promised to contact her later. After lunch I just SMS and asked her reasons for contacting me. She told me that she had been jobless for 4 months , her parents didn't know about it and had a problem because her car was just been reposessed by a bank. She had not paid the car for 4 months. I didn't know she was jobless because the last time I heard from her, she was working in a bank , later moved to a printing company and then became a PA to a construction company and quite well paid. She told me it was difficult to work for other people, because we used to manage a resort together and of course more relaxed and more money. She had been thinking that I have been doing very well now because I had a steady job and some business to manage. I used to tell her before that I am doing very well now and the company had been expending and I am now driving a BMW again. I told her that lies because she used to curse and wanted me to go bangkrap just few months after I divorced her. I just wanted to tell her that the curse didn't have any effect on me. I knew she was angry and confused at that time but I kept on hearing until now on what she had said and done. I had sacrificed alot during our marriage, turned her from a kampung girl to a big city executive lady like, wearing all branded clothings, helped her parents to repair her kampung house, support her parents with some money every week, bought her gold, jewelleries, a Kancil car and Gen 2 as her birthday present, sent her back to study at a college and never fail to fulfil whatever she requested . We had a good life. What more she wanted ?? But.. I was "played" out after what I had done for her and family ! But the love for her was still in my mind eventhough we had divorced and live our own life.


I asked her why now she needed my help? Why not go to her fiancee ( I am not sure whether she really engaged or not) for help. She told me that her fiancee was in Indonesia for a "business" trip and she had no one now to go to and to share her problems. I was touched as she still contacted me when she had problems, like always , before ! She asked for a" loan" of RM3,000 to settle the dues, storage and towing charges. I am broke too and wanted to save money for my engagement next month. I wanted to help her because I am still " in love " with her !! I promised to help by Monday but I didn't have a slightest idea on how to get that amount of money. She felt relief from the SMS reply. I just didn't want to say No to her because I know she will feel so sad. I knew her too well. I had been trying to forget her for the last 3 years. It took me many years to settle down as she had been always on my mind.


In another SMS I told her that I will be getting married soon. She was happy to hear that and she will pray for my happiness with the new marriage and hope my future wife will not be like her, sturborn, sensative and hot tempered. I knew she felt sad, because we were very close before but fated decided otherwise. I married her when she was only 18 years old for 5 years . Now she is 26. But looking at my new Liana, I realised that both are of the same character. My ex wife was born on November 25 and Liana my future wife was born on November 16. Am I going to have the same problems again ??? I am not worried because it could be another of God's test !

Last few nights I couldn't sleep well. My ex wife face was always on my mind. I still care for her safety and happiness. I knew she had been sufffering long enough for not been able to see her daughter. Now she had another problems and wanted me to help her, how do I go about? Should I help the person that cursed and left me? or should I just ignore her? I just couldn't decide now, furthermore I didn't have that RM3,000 that she requested but I could get it from someone if I really want to help her.


I just didn't want to disappoint her, and in a dilemma .... after all she is still my daughter's mother !

Lady Liana My New Love


I have been pretending to be angry with Liana for few days, didn't reply her sms, didn't answer her 100th calls as I didn't want her to come down to Kuala Lumpur on last May 16, 2008. Really, it didn't work. Liana already bought herself a bus ticket from Dungun and told me whether I will wait for her or not she still be in KL as we planned earlier. I was worried as I didn't have enough money in the pocket and to buy somethings for the "dowry" (Hantaran) . However, earlier on that afternoon after Friday Prayer, I managed to sell an Ener-G Pendant (Health Pendant) at RM500.00 belonged to my son's MLM company. I told my son that I wanted to use the money first and my son reluctantly agreed, thanks God ! It could be Liana's luck !!


She arrived at 5.00 am and we went to look for a hotel to stay, but most of the budget hotels are full. I drove her around KL, Ulu Klang and Batu Caves but still couldn't find one vacant room ! I decided to stop and had light food and drink at Kg Baru and a good talk with Liana. I told her that I didn't have much money to do any shopping now and she understood. She told me reasons she came down not to force me to buy her dawry but just to meet up with me and discuss our future plans if I am serious of taking her. She understood the problems that I am facing and will inform her parents that the engagement plan will be postponed to a later date to be advised and I agreed.


Around 6.30 am, I managed to get a budget hotel room at Chow Kit area. I was not very familiar with that area and worried, however nothing happen to us. I let Liana rest and slept after her long trip from Dungun, I felt asleep too, we get up around 3 pm. After shower, we had talk again on our future plans of getting engage and married. At the same time, I was still thinking about my daughter sms sent earlier. She was very angry and upset when she heard that I wanted to marry a 20 years old girl. My daughter is 26. She said that she wouldn't mind if I marry a widow or divorcee aged 30-40 years and if I already had a steady job. I fully agreed on what my daughter said but God had given me Liana, I think, because out of 25 millions Malaysia's population, she missed called me by accident and immediately fell in love ???!!! I didn't have that "killer" look nor job or money !! But she didn't care less ???


In the evening I took Liana to my friend's spa and boutique at Ampang Water front.. My intention was to look at her rented Wedding Costumes only but end up doing reflexology and Liana cutting her hair and an image change by my friend's staff. I spent RM265.00 there !!! I couldn't spend anymore !!! Anyway, my friend was so nice, let Liana tried most of the costumes and will rent them to Liana later at special price, but how much is special ?? I will rent them if I have my commission later as Liana love the costumes so much.


The next day, I took Liana around KL and went to Sepang, KLIA and Putrajaya as she never been there. Me too !! I had never been to Sepang and KLIA !! Liana had an uncle, her mother's younger brother living at Putrajaya. I thought her uncle was elderly but when I met him, he was only 22 years old. His uncle looked puzzled looking at me and probaly wondering why his niece fell in love with an old man like me but I handled him well. We went to Alamanda, a shopping complex at Putrajaya and had simple meal there. Later around 7 pm we drove back to Kuala Lumpur and went to see Eye On Malaysia at Titiwangsa, it was crowded. We spent about 30 minutes there and then went to KLCC just to window shopping.


At 9 pm, I drove Liana to Hentian Putra as her bus back to Dungun was at 10 pm. I took her for another meal upstairs and had another final talks on our plans. We enjoyed our meeting that time though deep in my heart I was sad for not fulfilling Liana's intention to buy some of her items for the engagement. I knew I let her down but she didn't show it. This Liana is a very patient and sincere lady , and I am praying to God that we shall be together for the rest of my twilight age.


The bus left exactly at 10 pm. I could only waved at Liana and sent sms that I am going to miss her. I drove home alone. At midnite I had a stomach ache and couldn't sleep until Liana called and told me that she safely reach Dungun around 4 am.


We are really in love, and will be getting married !! No matter what others say !!!

B.A.T.M.A.N Is Coming




To have my own business is always on my mind since I was at tender age. The very basic I learnt about business was when I helped my late mother to sell malay kuih and nasi lemak at primary school. When my late father bought me a bicycle , I started selling ice cream around my village and selling ice cubes and ice blocks during Ramadhan with my 2nd brother. When I was terminated from a senior position by a resort, it gave me another opportunity to own a business and I opened up a successful warong at Langkawi . Last few years, the business expended when I operated few small resorts at Kuantan before bad luck struck on me ! Without much money left to start a business but believed that positive things will happen to positive people, I just worked free lance in sales and marketing with two advertising companies belong to my friends. Well...I gained another experiences and knowledge in advertising besides my knowledge in hotels and resorts management. I began to love the new trade and planning to open up my own advertising company instead of other business when I save enough money. I just want to call it B.A.T.M.A.N an abbreviation of Bus, Billboard And Taxi Media Ads Nationwide.


My simple strategy and plan is to work closely with any advertising companies who has Billboards , Buses and Taxis or others like LRT, telephone booths etc as their media . I will promote the medias to my existing clients and offered to any advertising companies who want to work with me with a very good advertising rates. I will calculate and then sell at my own rates. I have a number of giant companies whom I have known for many years and I am sure will support me. At this moment, I am still a free lance holding a position of Director Of Business Development with an advertising company who had an exclusive rights to use the 12,000 school buses nationwide as their media and I just got my appoinment letter , no basic salary offered, nothing I could claim, petrol, toll, entertainments and meals are on my own (but most of the time my friend Gary who owns the company bought me lunch) I will be given a 20% commission on any deals closed. I had been working very hard just to master the new trade and had few potential clients in the pipeline. I really hope and prayed that one of the clients will confirm taking the media that could change my life style. At the same time I could help my friend's company to earn some decent profit and grow bigger and better and this is only contribution that I could offer to thank him for giving me the opportunity to continue new my life !!


Unfortunately today, I received bad news ! one of the banks that I depended on to take the media has declined the offer, though they had the advertising budget over RM3 millions left for the fiscal year and wanted to spend it with us before June 2008 and indicated that they will use the school buses to promote their children saving scheme. But...Instead they took another Advertising company, I presumed offered a "better" proposals. Can you immagine a 20% commission out of RM3 millions just slipped away ??? Last few days I have been calculating the commission that I will receive and planning a lot of things, and to reward myself after 3 years being jobless by buying my dream's car, an apartment closed to the office , settle all my debts, give my children some extra saving etc, but it was so near yet so far away !! I was really sad because I been dreaming all that to happen since last week , but it is God The Almighty who had decided otherwise ! It's Ok to me as lady luck has not been so kind yet ! Then , I remembered the old saying.. " Do not counts the eggs before they are hatched !!" I totally forget about it ...!!!


"Happiness comes when we test our skills towards some meaningful purposes" I believe in it and will work hard again. I want to concentrate on sales technique that may had lapsed and I am sure the style will follow. It is not the end of the world yet . I still have few more clients to finalise details but it may not be as much as the commission I am supposed to receive from the bank's deal. I had a sleepless nights thinking and thinking what went wrong with me. I may not know myself well ?? as Sun Tzu said " Know yourself well and you will win all battles" I may just do that, "Choices not chances determine destiny !!!"


I will work closely with the company's team again because I believe every player has the power to make or break the team. I am sure I will get the best out of others when I give the best out of myself. I do not want to think what and why that has gone wrong. Nothing else matters now but the very moment when I will close the first deal. I will stay focused and I am sure there are so much more will be accomplished.


The world of achievement has always belonged to the optimist... Like Me ??!! I insisted.


I will go beyond the possibilities.... Courage is more exhilarating than fear and you never knew, next couple of months, you will see BATMAN is flying all over places !

Another Love And New Life ?


I was in Kuantan last April 25, 2008 to attend a court case, but was postponed to October 16, 2008. So, I took the opportunity to visit my SMS girl friend Liana at her workplace, Dungun, Trengganu. She wanted to see me and to drive her back home to her parents' house at Kampung Payang Kayu, Kuala Berang an hour and half drive from Dungun. I was quite nervous and unprepared , but with Liana around convincing me it will be alright, I just kept driving and reached her home around 9.00 pm. It was quite a small wooden house but the government had built her parent a two bedroom house under the scheme for the poor just next to her house . I was welcomed in a very good manner. It has given me a great confidence and I felt more relaxed. Her father, an Indonesian residing for more than 20 years is a very friendly and down to earth person. We had a good handshake , talks subject related to his life history, how he came to Malaysia and his experience in Johore where he was detained by an immigration officer who happened to be his relative from his grandfather's side who had been in Johore for many years. He was sent back to the village, Keratong Pahang, where he lived with an immigration jeep. As there were many Indonesian immigrants there, at that time, they ran everywhere thinking that there was an operations for illegal immigrants.


I told him my side of life history. He was happy that I had a mixture of Bugis and Banjar blood in my body. Later Liana's mother came and invited us to have dinner with the family. I had a good dinner, the mother was a good cook !. After dinner, I hinted that I am a close friend of Liana and wanted to take her seriously. I was worried, but thanks God that they were so supportive, responded well and advised me that I shouldn't play her out as she is a good and inteligent girl. Her father always addressed himself as "Abang" not knowing that I am much older than him, but I just smiled and kept it to myself. I was there for about 2 hours and I promised to return with my intention to take her daughter as my wife in due course. Her father mentioned that if I wanted to take Liana seriously, he had no objection because he respected her daughter's choice of any man .


At midnite, I wanted to take Liana back to her hostel in Dungun but she refused, instead wanted to follow me back to Kuantan, and I did. In Kuantan , as I didn't have much money left, we spent the two nights at my friend's house though I didn't feel comfortable because my friend too had financial problems, and a family man, it won't be nice to take a girl friend home, but he welcome us. The next day, I drove Liana to her sister's house at Cherating, had lunch at a restaurant there. The sister, an educated lady had a Diploma from UiTM but jobless for many years and decided to get married to a hotel steward in a kitchen. Later I found out, that's why Liana didn't want to persue her Form 6 because she thought that it will be a waste of time studying but couldn't get a decent job. The next day, I sent Liana back to her hostel at Dungun as I have to get back to Kuala Lumpur.


Time had passed, I am in Kuala Lumpur but receiving sms regularly from Liana. She was very happy that I met her parents and knew my sincerity to take her. We kept intouch through SMS and sometimes I called her and vice versa. Last week , Liana told me that she had informed her parents that I would come on May 31, 2008 during school holidays for an engagement. I was shocked, because I didn't say anything , and i didn't have enough money and no more savings. How can I afford? I can't even afford my own daily expenses!! I am still jobless, but helping my friend in an Advertising company with a 20% commission on any accounts closed. There was nothing as yet, though I had followed up some potential clients. I asked Liana why such an hurry, she told me that she wanted to be with me quickly, furthermore, there's a guy from her other outlet always kept asking and pushing her to marry him as 2nd wife as he claimed that he was not happy with her first wife.



Earlier in Kuantan, I was awake at the middle of the night and heard Liana was on the phone with someone, and the next day, while she was having shower, I looked at her hand phone and took the number as I was pretty sure that the same guy, Mizi that called. Being curious, I called the number and a lady answered and I asked for Mizi. The lady claimed to be Mizi's wife and asked me why I called. I introduced myself as Liana's fiance and told her that Mizi had always disturbing my fiance, Liana. The lady became annoyed and told me that his husband is great "buaya" and ungrateful. She told me that when mizi was jobless, she was the one that supported the family as they had a son., but now when Mizi had a steady job and had a kancil car, he played around with other women and always came back late night. I told Liana about this, and she was happy that I called Mizi's wife. Later Mizi called and scolded Liana and was very angry and upset because I called his wife. I told Liana that Mizi had lied to her about his relationship with his wife and advised Liana to keep away from that Buaya.



I had a sleepless nights thinking how to get money for the engagement. Furthermore Liana wanted to came down to Kuala Lumpur on this coming May 16, 2008. to buy some items for the "dowry." I spoke to my son about the engagement and wanted him to help me to get some money but my son also just started work at a bank and didn't have saving , furthermore he had sent some money to his mother as I didn't. Normally I still send few thousands to my ex wife because of our children. But now I can't afford !! she understood my situation. I also called my 2nd brother to help, instead I had a good lecture, not encouraging me to re-marry a young lady as my 2nd marriage to a young lady failed. . Well , I understand it is easier for other people to say ! but I wanted to give it another try... I am still strong and healthy..I have been alone patiently for 3 years !!


I have no choice but to tell Liana of my problems, she asked me to marry her in Thailand instead to save cost as she couldn't care less, But I wouldn't do that. Her parents were so nice and I am sure they wanted to see a proper engagement and wedding ceremony for their daughter. Liana became upset, as she really love and needed me to be her husband as quick as possible. It's alright and suit me, but think of it Liana is still below 20, she may not be thinking deep enough, and that worried me. I just couldn't marry her with a price of 3000 bahts in Thailand, she is worth more !!


Meanwhile, I am just hoping and praying that I could close one big deals for my friend's advertising company and a 20% commission, that could change my life !!



I am looking forward what comes next, Another love and new Life? Only God knows !!!
