Raya 2012

When Ramadhan started, I feel so miserable. Not to say that I hate or whatever you close minded people want to say but working my ass off from 6 am till 7 pm really inconvenience during ramadhan. Whole other goverment worker can go back from work at 4 pm while we the doctors work till 7 pm.

Enough said, I've been spending my iftar (berbuka puasa) eating left over food for patient most of the time this year. A few time when I have off day ( 4 times in the whole ramadhan) I went to buy something from baazar ramadhan. The rest - hospital food.

And even I'm not working at night, I still have to go back at 7pm, way past the iftar at 6.30pm, sometime I did not eat during iftar instead just drink water and then later after 7pm I will go around and find some good food, ate that at around 8pm. Sleep at 10 pm and woke up at 3.30 am for sahur ( if got food, if not just ate candy or some cookies), then after that have to prepare to go to work. Must come to work at 6am.

The whole month I am very tired. I've been waiting for the fasting month to end. And in the end, syawal arrive.

This year is by far the longest holiday for my aidilfitri celebration. I usually got 2-3 days off for Raya but this year I applied for 4 days and plus 1 extra days off ( I was off one day before my official leave started. I am so happy because of that. I want to celebrate raya to the most.

However, my leave started with 4 hours delay at the airport. I am so boring waiting for that damn flight to arrive. Well, mix with the feeling of going back home, 4 hours did not matter.

Arrive at home at midnight, I have one more day of fasting before Raya started.

This year Raya is quite quiet for me. Just the 5 of us in the family. 5 of us celebrating Raya. Most of my Raya day spend at home watching TV, playing with my blackberry playbook, playing with my mother's Ipad, watch TV again.

I am not that anti social but you know, my hometown Labuan is so damn hot. Plus, where shud I go? I've been waiting for my friends to maybe bring me to do the Raya tour like always in previous Raya day but this year they did not. Maybe the fact that I always have a short holiday and I always refuse to go cause when people busy going around during Raya, I always packing my stuff to go back to work.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed my holiday, to go far from work, spend time with family, plenty of food, lots of people coming to our house (most of them are my parent's friend and my sister's friend), I enjoyed my times hanging around at home and cooking for the guest.

I only visit 2 houses during this year Raya. Its enough for me. With the temperature, I prefer spending my time at home.

Because my family is quite small so our house is calm all the time. I couldn't imagine what if I have already married next year and my wife has a big family. Can I blend myself in? I don't know.

Now, its the 4th day of Raya. I had enough rest at home. Plenty of good food I ate, and I enjoyed spending my time with my family. Now its time to go back to work. My flight at 9.30 pm. Well, I still feel sad. I feel not enough Raya this year. If anyone read this post they would agree that I am not enough. But I always love Raya I don't know why. The music, the sound of takbir, the sight of my family around, my house, the view outside my house, the view inside of my house with kuih raya in the living room and a hot peanut sauce smell from the kitchen, every year is the same. This is what happiness of Raya for me. Not how many house I visit, not how many friend I've met. Raya is all about my family and I always remember thing this way.

This will be the end of my Raya aidilfitri as a single man. Getting married end of this year. So, so long for now aidilfitri. Next year it would be a totally different kind of situation for me. I hope it remain like this but I never know. Cause I have to celebrate it together with my wife later. I hope it would be so much better.

Putatan Platinum Height Apartment Update

I feel cheated. Last year I bought an apartment in Putatan so called Putatan Platinum Height which is under SPNB. I'm very new in buying properties but the developer keep giving me good promise. I'm not expecting luxurious or maybe lots of bonus or present when I buy the house but I just need a time track on what's going on. They did gave me the time track on this project. It goes like this.

The project will be completed this year around feb and maybe the key will be given by May 2012. That's the intitial time plan that they gave to me. I did bought it, arrange a loan, sacrifice my saving just to get the house which is a good investment also.

Later, word is just a word. On May 2012 I ask the developer when the house will be completed. Even our Prime minister have to answer this question as maybe the developer already know what they did wrong. Not from the developer the answer came from our prime minister Dato' Seri Najib when he visited Sabah earlier this year that the house will be completed by August 2012. It was promising.

Now its already august 2012. I had a phone call from bank asking for my money. Later I got phone call from the developer also asking the same thing mentioning that if give them the money late then the interest will go up day by day.

I asked them when the house will be completed? Simple answer, by end of this year but maybe I will get the key and maybe able to move in by mid year next year!

I felt cheated. You know if u ask someone to go out and she said maybe this sunday. And the sunday you ask again and she said maybe next week. And the next week you ask again and she said next month. Its the same simple principle. And it does not exclude situation like this one.

For the first time property buyer, I learn a good lesson. Never deal with goverment property project. That's it. But this is bad, I'm supposed to support the goverment project that so called try to help the citizen. What happen here is the other way around. They are not much helping me, and I have this mentality of not supporting them anymore.

I don't know which channel do I go to get my right on. To get the justice, to remove this feeling of being cheat. I don't mind paying cause that's it normal thing if you buy something. But if you buy something and you get it 1 and a half year later, its different. If thay already told me that the house will be completed in 2013 then I will prepare myself. But they promise me it will be completed in 2012!

I believe there is a lot of buyer who felt the same thing with me. Anyone know how to get this issue straight?

Batman into my perspective.

I love batman since i was a little kid. Growing up with Tim Burton series of batman make me hard to adjust to the new trilogy of the dark knight. Even though i grew with it, somehow when i think about it, i do really want an improvement in batman movie.

The last batman movie that i like before the dark knight was batman forever. I love jim carry playing The riddle. That movie did look childish but it is enough for a 12 years old kid to be entertained. When i get a little older, i started to think that all this batman movie is a crap. Why the hell bruce wayne always have different face in every movie? With the actor keep changing, in the end batman lose his identity. The only recognizable batman is the first two batman movie. They even put George Clooney as a batman. That is totally crap and bullshit.

When christopher nolan started to make batman begins, i never really bother about it cause i hate batman a lot after Batman & Robin (the worse batman movie ever). I even did not watch the movie until few months after it was released. I did not watch it because all of my friend said that the movie was suck. I am very hesitate to watch it cause of others opinion about it.

When i watch it in my laptop few months after it was released, i don't think its bad. It was a nice movie with good plot and character development. The only thing is, this movie only show a few of batman action. I mean, most of the story is about bruce wayne before he become batman. Towards the end of the movie, batman appear, it is quite cool but already too late. Most people anticipate more batman in this movie but they were served with a long story about bruce wayne journey to become batman.

Little that they know or little that i know that this is not the end, it is only the beginning. Nolan reallh want to serve the appetizer before going to the main course. Batman begin as the name reflect is only the beginning of a great journey of batman to become a hero.

The dark Knight...is the real beginning of the story. People who are skeptic start saying that Nolan would not be able to bring up further the legacy of batman after batman begins. Some say that batman is enough and The Dark Knight will be another mistake by Nolan. It turn out that nobody can deny that this is one of the best movie ever made. Not just best in term of batman movie but the best even compare to other movie at that time. The Dark Knight captured all audiences even those who never like batman before.

The dark knight story line is awesome, the gadget and weapon superb, the twisted plot, crazy. The joker- the reason why you would want to watch this movie badly. I cant describe it but this movie proved that Nolan can bring back the legacy of batman. This one single movie can beat the crap of all other batman movies. One word to describe The Dark Knight = Brilliant. Batman will never be thebsame after this one. After this movie, everyone love batman. Everyone want to be batman.

The Dark Knight rises is an epic conclusion of all the previous 2 movies. True. The story circle around the first movie's leagues of shadow and also the second movie Harvey Dent. While The Dark Knight pictured batman as a one man army, the dark knight rises shows how batman need other people to stand. On his side to defeat the villain. The Catwoman and even there is Robin which people did not realize were there helping batman.

The most crucial character that make The Dark Knight Rises epic is none other than Bane. Bane who previously pictured in previous movie of Batman & Robin as a big monster with no brain revive in this movie as a cool and strong character. I love Bane a lot. I cannot deny that Joker is the best batman villain but stand beside Joker should be Bane. Even most people do not know who is bane before this, now i believe if you ask anyone they will sure answered Joker and Bane as the villain in Batman. No more mr freeze, no more poison ivy, no more The Riddle (i however still beliece that The riddle could be the next joker.


The trilogy is epic. The best Batman series ever. Christopher Nolan did revive batman as everyone hero and not just kid hero. A bit disappointed if they did not make a 4th movie. But if they stop with this three, it will be the classic trilogy ever. This trilogy is a must watch trilogy for those who crave batman.


Now i have to wait for another super hero which was rated lame before to be revive by Nolan and Zack Snyder. Yes no other than superman. I want to see how they make it not lame. If they did it with Batman, i believe they can make it with superman.
