Back to basics

So, they said all good things must come to an end. Yeah, that's right.

3 days of holiday come to and end. Tomorrow is Monday, working day until Friday.

8-5 for normal people, 8.45-5.45 for those who're working with the bank.

Tomorrow, my daily routine begin, wake up at 4.50, eat and pray, take the first KTM to KL Sentral.

And then switch to Putra LRT until Taman Jaya. My normal routine, Monday to Friday.

Yes, boring routine, and then in the evening I will go back to Kajang with pack of people in the tren. But that's life.My student life is over...I admit i miss it.

So, back to basics! Not for me, but for everyone too!

P/s: To my friends who already done with their final examination, happy hols!

Perfection

 "You're not the perfect person for this job."

"Ni kena buat balik...ade silap step..so equation dia jadi tak perfect...sebab ade step dah miss"

"Baju ni macam tak kena dengan kau, tak perfect la kalau pakai".

Those are phrases that i got when i find a job, doing calculus and finding the right clothes at shopping mall. But,whether we realize or not, we got like, a lot of criticism about how imperfect we're the whole life. It's only natural that as human, even our self, want something perfect. We looking for perfection in everything we do.

Sometimes we forgot that God create us with imperfection....just for simple reason, so we can try to be better. Personally, I believe perfection doesn't exist in human (forgive me is you think I'm wrong, that just come from my on point of view).

Think about it, why when human create pencils, they create eraser as complimentary to pencils? Because human just can't stop doing mistake, even when we writing, that's why erasers and liquid papers exist.

Why woman need man sperm to fertilize her  ovum, because a woman can't have her own baby without man (except for Maryam, prophet Isa mother, who gave birth to her without being fertilize by man).

Sometimes in search of perfection, we tend to reject the so-called imperfect thing or person....until we forgot that we also are not perfect. Is there any people who have guts to said this, "I'm totally perfect". I would love to meet that person and laugh at his/her face. No such thing as perfection.

Don't trust me? Try this, what make you remember things or people?? Its because of their imperfection. Yeah, it is. This is the thing i heard..

"Pakwe lama aku tak bleh blah, asyik nak jeles je..."

"Oh, kau ni zul ek, yang selalu menangis waktu darjah 3 dulu kan"

"Kelakar gila cara kau berjalan, tangan asyik hayun2 je..cubalah jalan elok2."

Two out of three phrases above pointed to me..hahaha..yeah...I'm imperfect, because of that , people remember me, people don't remember me on how perfect you're...because it's boring!

Perfection doesn't exist for me, picture perfect exist. Ever see that person who looks so kind, generous and then when you know them up-close they're totally different, that's picture perfect, our mind want us to look at something as perfect, but things are not all perfect.

Ironically, i learn that from Bleach...Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi line(Ep 200) make me think. Here it is:

The average person admire perfection and seeks to obtain it.But what's the point of achieving perfection?There is none.Nothing,not a single thing.I loathe perfection.If something is perfect, then there is nothing left.There is no room for imagination.No place left for a person to gain additional knowledge or abilities.

I'm totally agree with above line. It's because of imperfection, there is iphone 4 in the iphone family...isn't it. And there is going to be another iphone to replace iphone 4.

There's nothing wrong on seeking perfection, it's just our nature, but remember this, nothing is perfect in this world. If we're perfect, doctor wouldn't exist because we never get sicks, God create everyone with different gifts so we can help and compliment each others.But, don't just give up, we can do our best to be a better person!

 P/s: For me, we can't be perfect being, but we can try harder to be better and better. The word perfection best describes God, only He is perfect.Just look around us for the evidences. And yeah,imperfection that make everyone unique. =)

A heart for Kajang.... =)

Today is holiday everyone....have a nice day...and for those who are celebrating the festival of lights, Happy Diwali for you guys.  Last night was awesome, for me, because i finally got to do something that i really wanna do for a long time ago. That is walking around Kajang town. Hahaha....yeah, right. After coming back from work, i feel like rather that just stay at home, it's better for me to go for sightseeing. And yeah, i decided to go to Kajang.

I am born in Kuala Lumpur, yeah , it's written in my birth certificate, but i never grown up in Kuala Lumpur. I grown up in Kajang and always have been in Kajang for my whole life. Last night, i walk around Kajang town, from taxi stand to the CIMB shop row, to the McD and salon, and then continue until the OCBC bank ...and then i go to Kajang bus stop and pretty well, almost entire small town of Kajang. I can't remember the road name though (and here I am dare to admit had been in Kajang for my whole life).

While walking, i found places that bring me back my memories to my past life...very nostalgic. And here it is:

Taxi stand Kajang:

My father is a cab driver, when i was a little boy, he always bring me with him, accompany him taking the passengers. And i also quit famous there,hahahaa...i still remember being lavished with ice-cream and candies, toys from other cabdrivers...they will hold me and passed me around...that good old days, now that i'm all grown up, these old timer will tease me...Uncle Nika, Uncle Selvam,Uncle Ah Fatt and many more. Miss that time.

Czip Lee:

This is the place I will go to buy stories book...hahaha..my parents always bring me there so i can buy my stories book, and color pensils....and yeah, Czip Lee has come a long journey, from small stationery store until today. Don't trust me?? You go there when school seasons back, and you'll see a lot of people there.It's the best stationery & book store in Kajang.

Insitut Kajang aka Pusat Tuisyen I.K :

PTM might be the most famous tuition centre but i think I.K it's the best. My parents enrolled me to I.K when i'm in standard 4 until form 3. A lot of fun i had there, the principal (i forgot her name) is so kind and generous.She's the reason why i have interests in English. Miss her so much! I wonder if I.K still open though, maybe i should go and see someday.

Metro Kajang:

I bet many of you'll rolled down when I list Metro as place that i use to go when i was a kid...but it's true. My parents use to take me and shopping there, and as teenagers I sometimes hang out there,I love the waffel shop in 1st floor...hahahaa. Metro also pretty much associated with Kajang town itself. The Metro group is the main developer for Kajang, they own a lot of properties and buildings in Kajang.Metro Kajang have proof itself to us, that its still in the game, even though there's a lot of new shopping malls, it still standing.

Kentflame Gift Shop:

Here is the gift shop i use to...err...hang out or menyibuk...hahahaha..i love to go there because they have many cute soft toys and weird stuff...and ship in the bottle. And that auntie never scold me because i always come to play and not buy a thing, she's so kind.I wonder if she's still around because i know Kentflame still open till now, even with tight competition from Home Living,maybe i should drop sometimes, see if she still remember me. Anywhere, Kentflame is pretty much my playground..hahaha.

These places is the place you won't find in Kajang Town anymore..

Ocean Supermarket:
Ocean is the supermarket, the main supermarket back in 90s, remember the blue dolphin as its logo...i miss ocean...but because of tight competition, it's shutdown the operations. Now that same building become the Bank Islam. Yeah, and Bank Rakyat too.

Twin Peak:
Twin Peak is the place you can find a lot of comics book, novels and magazines. It's a sensation for teenagers,because it have a lot of comics and mangas, you can just sit there and read, you only need to pay for entry but at low prices...i think around 50 cents to RM1, you also can rent the comics, like a library...at very cheap cost,but yeah, it shutdown the operations because renting comics and mangas its not convenient since you have internet. =(

Tamiya Toy Stores:

This is the famous toy stores located above Manjaku...yeah, before Manjaku take over the floor above it, it use to be a toy store. Back in 90s when Tamiya is a hit,me and my brother and his friends will go there and play Tamiya there. The owner hold competitions every weeks, hahahaa...and i always fail. dangg~~ Anyway, it was so fun racing our Tamiya there in various tracks.


Kajang has come a long way to become what it is today, from small town that simply known as "Bandar Satay" until now. A lot of development happens here, from the new Metro Point to many new housing area, and new shops replacing the old one in the town center, i still love Kajang, the reason is simple, i always been here...maybe Kajang is not as cool as Kuala Lumpur or other town, but it's enough for me. I always heart Kajang.

P/s: And today, Kajang is being conquer by...err...Bangladesh and Indonesians, Vietnamese...but that's the price we need to pay for developments. Is it???

Silly!

Okay, i just got back from Kajang town...hahaha...actually i go to the Totoro Comic store (for those who don't know, it's actually a store that sold mangas and figures). Since I'm totally into reading manga, its become custom for me to go to the store everytime i got my paycheck and buy my favorite manga (Penyiasat Remaja Hajime Kindaichi).

So, i go into the store, said hai to that cute Chinese girl (the cashier) and gonna pickup my manga, i wanna take the Penyiasat Remaja Hajime Kindaichi (Kes Pembunuhan Bersiri) volume 7. Until i realize there is another hand holding that book at the same time I am. It's a girl, with pony tail hair and red shirts. We both want the same manga.

 Me: Excuse me, i  wanna take this manga, err...i saw it first.

Girl: Na ah, I saw it first, my hand was there first.

Me: No, i saw it first, my hand grab it first, so it's mine, why don't you take the other volume first and come back later.

Girl: No no, you take the other volume first and come back here later...i wanna read how the ending...you're gentleman, you take the other first.

Basically we both are grabbing that manga from both side, until...

Chinese girl: Aiyoo, tak payah gaduh2..itu komik boleh cari lagi dalam stok meh.

And then, we just looked at each other than just realize how we have become the center of attention for a WRONG reason! Hahahaa...everybody was looking at us with that weird look..and just like in anime and manga...there is wind blowing while that black line behind everyone and big sweat situation...Hahahahaha.

I paid for my mangas (so does she) and we both get out from the store quickly. Yeah, and the girl break the ice. Her name is Amy and she live at er.... Taman Ros or something like that, i believe that housing area is near the Sg Kantan. And to my surprise, she is really sweet...haha.. (my first impression is this girl is insane). We go and grab the ice-blended (at the Metro Kajang ground floor), basically sit down and just talk how we love anime and manga. Until my mum call and said she's and my appa already waiting at taxi stand. I rush, said goodbye quickly and just left. I forgot to ask for her phone number. Aiyakk.....anyway i just pray wherever she is and whatever she do, she'll be just fine. Ya Amy the manga-grabber, I say a little prayer for you.

P/s: I really hope i can meet with Amy again...it's funny how from silly argument a friendship can growth, even for only 10-15mins time. =)

Happy but unpleasant experience.

Last day, i finally got my paycheck, so i decide to treat some of my friends today for pizza. The actual plan is to go and hit Pizza Hut, but when i arrived there with fiqa, it's full house tonight. Yes full house as in full of people.There not even room for 2 people let alone 5. So, fiqa suggests to me that we go to domino's kajang. So we go there, 5 of us, fatin, atie, syasha ,fiqa plus me (the only guy in the pact...muahahaahhaa). We order pizzas, but there is some strange experience I had.

 1)the cashier ask for number and name..what the heck you need my phone number, and name?I go to pizza hut  many times but they never ask for my name or phone number or anything that i would consider personal.

I just give to that man because i don't want to drag thing longer. We decided to take combo deal number 4. consist of large aloha chicken, beef peperoni, and banana kaya thing (i forgot).And then, while waiting we have chat..hahaha..a lot of fun, the thing is i never heard they call my name, until they like screaming to me. Okey, i thought they going to send the pizza to us because i specifically told them we're dine-in, not TAKE AWAY. And another thing is, why don't they serve us with plate and glasses, they serve the pizzas and everything in paper box and paper cup and bottle of coke. If that's the way the serve us, its be more better they advice me to TAKE AWAY in the first place. What a bad services they deliver to us.

And here the thing, after we finished the pizza, we just sit and have a chat but i don't know if it just my feelings or my friend feel that, but its like they urge us to go away faster. They keep screaming "cepatlah balik". I know maybe they talk to their colleague but you don't have to scream, you just make the customers feel unpleasant. While we cannot doubt Domino's for their delicious pizzas and affordable prices, but with that kind of services, you guys totally sucks! Maybe you should go for training on how to handle customers. Seriously.

P/s:It is a great night i have with my friends, just hang up and chat but our encounter as above create some unpleasant experience. I always believe that customers should and ALWAYS become the priority for merchants because once you give us that bad experience and impressions, you'll lost precious customers. And yeah, i definitely will not coming back to Domino after this.

World Psoriasis Day

I just realize today is 29th October....for some people nothing special about this date, but for me this date is so important because today is the world psoriasis day, dedicated for those who have been fighting psoriasis disease in their life. I'm one of millions of people who have been diagnose with psoriasis. And i never expected it will come to me. I was diagnose when I'm 12 years old, I just finished my UPSR i think... my head feel very itchy and then i realize there this white debris-like keep falling down from my head.My mom said i have dandruff problem, now worry. But then it start to get worst, my skin in hand and body have turn red and scalpy. Feels very itchy, hot and painful.The pharmacist told me that i have fungus infection and she give me ointments, but it didn't work really well.

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that appears on skin, it appears when the immune system send out faulty signals that speed up growth of skin cells.

Until one day, we're driving my auntie, she's a doctor. She observe me and said,"I think you got psoariasis, and you better go for checkup". Indeed i go for checkup, and i got the most bad news i have in my life. "Adik, awak ada psoriasis plak, yang akak nak cakap ni dik, penyakit ni takkan sembuh once dah kena, just boleh kontrol je".Yeah sure, its not cancer, but its affect my life until today. When i was in form 2 - form 3 is my worst years, my psoriasis had gone to all part of my body, i think almost 40% of my skin got affected.

The hard thing is that people always give you the hard look, they dont want to get near you,some even think that you have AIDS! Yeah, once i go to 7E, the cashier didnt want any contact with me.She scared if she will got infected i think.I begin my treatment at Hospital Putrajaya, every week i got appointment, i also join the support group (people who got psoriasis change their story and experience) . And i get well,alhamdulillah. Sure it didnt fade away but its in control now. Until today, although sometimes it become worst again but then its in control. Thats the hard thing about psoriasis,you'll never know when it will comeback and how worst it gonna be.

Psoriasis teach me that you must be confident of yourself no matter how people look at you, and explain when somebody ask. And also that, i cant give up because i have psoriasis,i go to hospital, there is people who have cancer, eczema, and much worst disease than me but they live their live to the fullest.
My advice to people who have or think they might have psoriasis, seeks advice and treatments from dermatologist, you'll never too late. And people who dont understand, instead of just give us that hideous look, just ask, we'll be more happy to explain.

P/s: It's been more than 9 years since i had been diagnose, at first I think myself as being curse, now i accept it as bless from God because I'm a lot stronger mentally, i don't care what people gonna talk about me and more importantly, I learn that you just need to be happy to be healthy. And I'll will posts more about psoriasis after this. Any comments, kindly drop a line at eddy.zulyadain89@gmail.com

Finally!

Finally i have my own blog...i'm so happy. Own a blog is one thing that i really wanna do since blogging become hit...hahaha...but there is one problem, i dont know how to design one (i'm a total failure at design thing, seriously.), so it remains like a dream. Seeing other people blogs often make me feel jealous, envy. But thanks to my friend, miss j...who willing to take time and design my blog...now it finally come true. Frankly speaking, i like the cake house, the ice cream, its like the Hensel and Gratel story. I dont know whether i will keep up posting something here...hahahaha...but finally i can said. "I have my own blog". It give me a sense, yes i'm living in the IT era....hahahaha.

p/s: Neko Chan always believe that everyone must keep up with the advance IT world, blogging is one way to do so. Many blogs give us useful information in different s topic. But he also believe as a blog owner, its become his responsible to write something true and come from the bottom of the heart.
