i've just got back from kedah. for the sake of 'berjimat cermat', i went home and came back from home by public transport. yup, by bus. i estimated nearly rm160 plus-minus saving from it.
but, the price that i have to pay as a result from the saving i've made is, i had to bear all those smelly foods that people tends to eat on boarding the bus plus not to mention a large amount of carbon monoxide that i had to fill into my lung at the bus station.
-_-
i may have to think twice before rooting for public transport again anytime soon. now, leave that aside.
judging from my current financial standings, and as a result of my late father unfinished housing loans, i hereby announcing that i have to cut down my weekly KFC intakes and prevents driving my car by 2-3 days a week. and why is that ?
as i am now the head of the family, plus the only one that have 'active and constant' salary, i have to put a side as much as rm1300 per month to settle down my late father monthly housing loan installment until the insurance claims being finalize later on (honestly i don't even know when that will happen).
the insurance company, before proceeding with my claims, needs to have the doctor statement mentioning about details of my father medical examination right after he died. now that takes time. the hospital called my once today and mentioned to me that the procedure usually takes 2 months proclaiming that it was the hospital charter that said that.
and WTF (of course i said that in my mind) !
why on earth it takes that long ? while i'm quite confident with my financial standings to overcome any issues, what about if the claimer do not as fortunate as i am and probably don't have that kind of money to pay the monthly installment ?
seriously, hospitals need to not overlook this sort of things.
Today i received a troublesome yet annoying faulty USB flash drive to diagnose. The problem was everytime this user attached the flash drive into its port, the message 'this drive is no formatted, do you want to format it now ?' -well something like that... rose to the screen of her monitor.
and the moment i heard that symptom, i already knew the answer.. the probabilities that the flash drive already kaput is as high as 90%.. but i gave it a try anyway, if i could somehow save the files in it...
as around 5 pm i received the flash drive till now (somewhere near 8pm), i gave up.
using numerous tool gathered and downloaded from the net, the flash drive has indicated that it cannot be save anymore. (even in two linux distros failed to mount the poor drive !)
then i made the conclusion that the flash drive is probably a level higher than my forensic capability and i cannot rescue the files in it...
i'm then google around for any 'repairshop' around kl that could save and helps this poor friends of mine that relies solely in her flash drive to store vital and important files. found two companies that specializes in data recovery and jotted down their phone number and address.
Now, let us take a lesson from this 'story' i had today. NEVER EVER trust solely into ONE storage device to store your important data. MAKE BACKUP COPIES. and A LOT OF THEM !
I am now have been driven to a corner that will (probably) not going to take me on the right route ever again.
My trust on Malaysia's political scene has dropped dramatically since last week. This not one sided. To tell truth, i hate to say this but BOTH oppositions and the government has failed to understand and overcome even basic issues now days.
Not to mention with the current outrageous M-drama premiering exactly last Saturday still shocked me till now. I'm not going to elaborate on that, but you'll get picture right ? :)
Hmm.. suddenly i'm beginning to think like this : "monarchy is probably the best solution after all"
Having that thought along, (probably) peoples will stop thinking about politics and move forward to drive Malaysia into her right direction.
Wallahualam.
p/s : I have zero faith and do not know who's to trust now. Luckily i didn't
chose neither of them in the previous national election. Let just say,
i just don't in a 'physical' aspect of the overall procedure :)
Mraz is such a good singer ! The current #1, I'm Yours, is also awesome ! Btw, i won't (probably) going to be online somewhere in mid July. I have to go home again to manage several things up. ^_^
New avatar (eclair from kiddy grade, one of my favourite character due to her positiveness in everything despite me being all negative thinker at most of my time)
New banner (yes, i need time machine for a number of personal reason, but in Islam accepting god's fate is never to be question, but all this is just my little heart wishing in the background)
I can't stop blogging afterall. But.. i will be back when i'm ready. For the time being, MLRT has been updated to T0619. Check bezictosoft for more info on that.
Right now, i have several tonnes of things and matters on my shoulders to get over with. To tell the truth, i'm kind of a little tired. but all for the sake being the eldest male in the family i have to be strong. i can't afford to be weak.
To be strong, i must have something to keep me going. and for that, i need my mother's voice.. and that why i called her every night from now on since then. registering something in my heart since then has been hard. being alone here in tanjong malim is mostly unthinkable. well, since i can't bother my friends, i've flushed all the trouble to myself with this thought in mind : "the world will not moving if i'm not moving, to be somewhere i must go there myself"
insyaAllah, i would be able to post at full galore somewhere near august or september.
I have decided to close this blog for good (to the point of writing this but i don't think i would finalize this decision anytime sooner).
However, bezictosoft will be not affected by this decision.
4hb Jun 2008. Panggilan telefon aku terima pada waktu pagi yang menyatakan abah aku pengsan di pejabat benar-benar merisaukan aku. Aku telah dihubungi oleh adik lelaki yang bongsu pada ketika itu. Kira-kira jam 8:30pagi, SMS yang aku hantar yang menyatakan kesediaan aku untuk pulang sekiranya diperlukan telah dibalas dengan panggilan telefon menyatakan aku perlu juga kembali kerana .. aku telah kehilangan abahku.
Lantas, tanpa berfikir panjang aku terus menyimpan laptop yang digunakan ke almari dan memberitahu senior untuk memberitahu bahagian pentadbiran aku terpaksa pulang segera. Aku pada waktu itu, tak menyatakan dengan jelas kepada seniorku itu kerana perasaan aku pada ketika itu sudahpun terlalu sebak tetapi sebab aku adalah lelaki sulung, aku perlu tabah.
Setelah melepaskan panggilan tersebut, aku pulang ke rumah seketika untuk mengemaskan pakaian yang perlu dan terus menutup punca air di depan rumah. Selanjutnya setelah mengisi minyak, aku terus keluar tol Behrang walhal pada kelazimannya aku akan keluar terus di Slim River menuju ke Lebuhraya PLUS.
Pemanduan menuju ke Kedah sepanjang 4 jam amat menyeksakan jiwa aku.
Kali terakhir aku berjumpa dengan abah aku adalah pada Mac lepas masa mengunjungi majlis konvokesyen adik lelaki selepas aku di UTM Skudai. Kami memang ditakdirkan jarang berbual dan sekiranya hendak difikirkan itulah yang paling aku kesalkan sekarang. Perkataan terakhir aku dengar daripadanya adalah sewaktu mama menelefon aku menceritakan mengenai baju batik berwarna ungu yang mana abahku akan membelikan kemudian di atas sebab-sebab tertentu. Dalam minggu sebelum abahku meninggal, sekeluarga aku kecuali diri aku telah bercuti di Kelantan. Iaitu negeri di mana abahku kini bekerja. Ahli keluarga aku (kecuali aku) semuanya sempat berbual malah bercuti di Tok Bali sehari sebelum abahku kembali ke rahmahtullah.
Berita kematian abahku sehari selepas mama dan adik2 ku tiba di Kedah sememangnya tidak dapat diterima kerana arwah kelihatan sihat saja. Tetapi apa yang milik-Nya akan dipulangkan kepada-Nya. Dengan itu aku redha di atas ketentuan-Nya.
Setelah hanya berhenti sekali di Gunung Semanggol, aku meneruskan perjalanan dengan kelajuan malar. Aku tiba di Kedah dalam jam 1:00pm dan aku hampir2 demam pada waktu itu dan aku terus menuju ke mama ku yang pada waktu itu berada di rumah atukku. Ketika itu, telah begitu ramai kenalan di kawasan luar rumah.
Aku diminta pulang ke rumah taman terlebih dahulu untuk membersihkan diri bersama adik2 ku. Seterusnya selepas asar, aku dan adik2 ku terus bertolak semula ke rumah atukku untuk menunggu ketibaan jenazah dari Kelantan.
Di beritakan jenazah abahku telah pun disempurnakan di Kelantan dan disembahyangkan di sana dan bertolak dari sana ke Kedah dalam jam 1:00 tengahari.
Kira-kira jam 5:00 petang semua kenalan arwah abahku tiba di perkarangan rumah kampung atukku itu. Dari serata Malaysia, SUK Negeri Kelantan dan wakil Kerajaan Negeri Kedah juga tiba menunggu.
Jenazah tiba dalam pukul 7:45 petang dan alhamdullilah semua ahli keluarga sebelah abahku dan nenekku termasuk adik2 sempat memberikan penghormatan terakhir.
Namun, dilaporkan arwah abahku ada mempunyai seorang anak angkat. Sampai ke hari ini, aku masih tidak dapat menghubungi dan mengenalinya.
Jenazah dikebumikan setelah disembahyangkan sekali lagi selepas Isyak. Setelah urusan pengkebumian selesai, kami adik beradik dan mama ku dibawa ke rumah atukku semula untuk menyempurnakan hal-hal lain.
... Kini setelah 8 hari, aku kembali ke tanjong malim setelah menguruskan urusan di kampung. Mujurnya semua sanak saudara sebelah mama ku menetap di Kedah. Aku juga di dalam perancangan membawa ibu ke rumah aku bilamasa adik perempuanku yang bongsu masuk ke sekolah menengah berasrama penuh kelak. Sekiranya adik lelaki aku berkahwin dahulu, mungkin dia akan membawa bersama mama untuk tinggal bersama.
Aku sekarang dalam proses untuk menyempurnakan dokumen pencen arwah abah aku. Dengan ini dapat mengurangkan beban dari faktor kewangan untuk keluarga aku. InsyaAllah semuanya akan selesai dalam minggu hadapan.

here is a taste of what coming : (click to enlarge)
Aku ada beberapa cadangan berhubung subsidi petrol tanahair yang mana kerajaan pusat sekarang tengah mengalami dilema besar-besaran bagaimana untuk menenteramkan rakyat.
1. Hapuskan subsidi petrol dan disel secara beransur-ansur dalam tempoh tertentu.
2. Bayaran sekali masuk yang murah untuk lebuhraya2 dan laluan ekspres di Malaysia. Mungkin perlu kaji tempoh konsesi dengan yang mana berkenaan. Misalnya kos dari Tanjong Malim ke Alor Setar Utara kini mencecah sehingga RM60+, apa kata dikurangkan kepada sekali harung RM10 dengan pecahan minimum RM3.50 untuk setiap plaza tol (ada 3 kesemuanya sekiranya menuju ke arah yang aku nyatakan)
3. Bayaran insuran, cukai jalan dan lesen kenderaan diminimumkan. Sebagai contoh insuran kenderaan yang tidak masuk akal sepatutnya boleh diminimakan, mungkin dengan pemberian peratusan NCD yang lebih tinggi daripada apa yang diamalkan sekarang. Misalnya 20% untuk tahun pertama, 40% untuk tahun kedua, 65 untuk tahun ketiga. Atau mungkin insuran kenderaan yang tetap untuk semua jenis kenderaan boleh dikuatkuasakan.
Pemberian kupon subsidi boleh mendatangkan banyak ketirisan. Pemberian elaun tertentu kepada kakitangan perkhidmatan awam setelah penghapusan subsidi juga terhad hanya pada kakitangan awam sahaja. Mekanisme fizikal seumpama ini pada aku haruslah dielakkan sama sekali. Jadi bagaimana hendak merealisasikan pemberian subsidi yang telus kepada semua rakyat tanpa mengira faktor perkerjaan dan seterusnya sampai kepada kumpulan sasaran ? Ini amat sukar dilakukan. Maka terpulanglah kepada Yang Berhormat untuk memikirkan mekanisme yang sesuai.
4. Hapuskan subsidi bahan api sebagaimana perkara 1. dan seterusnya alihkan kepada subsidi bahan makanan KESELURUHANNYA. Harga bahan makanan tidak terdedah (sangat) kepada turun-naik harga.
5. Memperkenalkan sticker cukai jalan berasaskan nilai cc kenderaan. Pada pam minyak ada aturan2 mungkin sehingga 3 tahap mengikut kategori nilai berkenaan. Misalnya kategori A harganya penuh tanpa subsidi. Kategori B untuk nilai subsidi tertentu dan begitulah seterusnya. Ya, sekali lagi ketirisan boleh berlaku dan syarikat minyak mungkin perlu berbelanja banyak. Tetapi ini hanyalah satu cadangan.
I went to another kenduri today with one of my other senior from a different division than i am. the flow starts at nine am and we arrived at the promised place exactly at eleven am.
before that, i put RM50 worth of fuel inside the car and by the time i reached home back from that event, the meter shown 280km and at that time my car still has a balance exactly half tank of fuel ! Not bad. I estimated that would be somewhere around RM20-RM30 for 280km worth of travel !
back to the event, foooh... the rendang daging and ayam goreng berempah was totally awesome and out of this world ! But of course, i have to control my eating habit as at this age, diseases could come and come again in a full blast. That goes to you too young men and women.. watch your what you eat when you're in mid 30's or else you'll regret it later ^_^
after meeting with the tuan rumah we've decided to go home and arrived at tanjong malim at three-something pm..
that concluded today's journey. awaiting tomorrow to open it doors..
