Checkmate?!!! Yupe,sounds like playing chess eh?..have u ever play it before? well,i really like it coz somehow u need to plan ur strategy to capture the king..and if u did,u will say it loudly..Checkmate!!
Today, im not planning to teach u how to play chess bah!! haha,but i wanna share 2 stories that i had been thru for the past 4 weeks..
First, i met my future in-laws, together with my girlfriend a.k.a fiancee, stayed at their home, go church together, and having dinner in restaurant. This is such an important meeting for me coz we will discussing about my marriage - soon !! and we did that after a church prayer especially for Palm Sunday ( 1 week before Good Friday ). we had that discussion in that restaurant, and both of my fiancee's parents tried to express their feelings as well as hope for their daughter..bear in mind that i gone thru all this alone, without my parents over my side - im pretty independence since our YS time,so all my stuffs i will do it by myself,including this time..believe me,that was such a scary time for me, and every time i have to say something, im really scared if my future in-laws like it or not..they ask me about my planning, my carieer since i wanted to join army so i can do my Orthopaedic master so fast, and what i can provide to their daughter..it was the moment when i truly think i am a man, ready to have a big responsibility and take care of others..i always remember when i watched Chinese drama, the groom always scared when that time is come, and i myself always "kutuk" him,thinking that it was nothing..until i have gone thru it by myself..GOSH!! after such a long discussion, QA session, i really glad when my future in-laws like my plans, and have a faith in myself..but, it was funny when i need to be a good man during that time, do the showmanship as well as "berbudi bahasa"..it was such a priceless experience for me..someday, when i have a daughter, for the same reasons, i will do the same things like this..
2 weeks after that, my mother brought me to my cousin's engagement..well, i cant say this is an engagement, since they already did it, but this time, the groom's side came to the house to deliver the "Berian" or "Mas Kahwin", am i right? they invited the ketua kampung, Pastor ( S.I.B priest ) and my mother..well, it was such an important occasion for my cousin, coz they will pick a date for their wedding..and once the groom gave the Berian to my uncle, he asked me to count it, just because the groom wanted to make sure it was a correct amount..obviously my uncle didnt want to count by himself so that the groom's side wont think that he was such a "Mata Duitan", right?
So, i believed that finding a lifemate or life partner is just like playing a chess, u need to think hard, plan ur strategy and provides a good move only to do "CHECKMATE"...sometimes if u fail to do so, the opponent will attack or kill ur king, or in our reality, some other man/woman will take ur partner..then again, u need to find another king to do "CHECKMATE" again..then, how about if that partner is not compatible with you?
So my advice here: Only do the CHECKMATE if u think u have find ur soulmate...(*_*)
P/S: sorry guys, Jags for didnt post anytg here for quite sometimes..Anyway, condolence to your family and you as well for your loss..May His soul rest in piece..

Rest in Peace
Hi to all my fellow friends...
Where have you all been? It's seems no one have a new story to share? Come on...... i know your life is not as bored as mine. Just share it here.. for god sake! Even a few lines should be no problem.
You got to be kidding me having this Blog in Silenzio for too long. WRITE!!! Otherwise kadubasville will "transform" to my own blog... Hehehe.
Ok now i would just write my story about yesterday...
Yesterday, was pretty shocking.
I woke up in a shock.
My mom wake me up... told me that Janang is dead!
I was stunned for a moment, and asked why? Mom's said "accident"
For your info: Janang is a boy that adopted by grandfather during he was a kid, i think maybe about 10 years then he leave to live his life somewhere else. He spent his childhood in my grandfather's house together with my aunts and all. I know i should call him like uncle or something but, me? having literally grew up together with my fellow aunts... makes me easy to call him just 'Janang'...
He is not close enough with me i must say... Well, i'm seldom home, as you all know.. since form 1 i've never spent a full year in sabah... But in only God knows-why miraculous way, almost every time i go to Kudat centre, whenever i've mentioned in my head.."Hmm... Where is Janang now"
And Guess what? Saw him passed by with his car, van or lorry or maybe just saw him walking by... i don't know how many times this happen! even though he change his transport a lot, and he's also told me he works somewhere not close to Kudat. Even my aunts and uncles go back to Kudat often, they seldom seen him around. But for sure, I like him... very much. Every time he sees me, then he will mention about how i was when i was a small kid... and get a good laugh about it. He was a very nice man... i must say.
It was before my last trip to Spain, last time i saw him... We were filling in Petronas Kudat.
It was my father who said, "hmm, its a long time since i see Janang is it?".
I told him.. "hahaha, i've seen him in my last trip here.. "
And guess what, a lorry passed by, Huh... pretty miraculous huh??
Janang came down and, I said, we just mentioned about you... Aha...
I guess most malays said it was a "Panjang Umur" sign or whatsoever...
Well i aint fuckin' believe it no more...
I heard while i'm Offshore, he came to my house in KK for visiting. I'm not there of course.
And Yesteday, I'm "visiting" him for the last time at his funeral in Sikuati...
To Janang ... May his soul Rest in Peace....
To Muslim friends: Please Sedekah Al-Fatihah to my friend/uncle ...
Best regards to all!!

Home Sweet Home
Hi All,
I guess i should write something huh.
Just came back from a trip to pangkor yesterday..
Lol, it was a boring trip btw..
I was shocked that Pangkor isn't that great as told..
Anyway the main reason for me to have this vacation is easy.. I want to take beautiful landscape view for my Camera!!! Kunun2 photographer la... ceh
I just bought a brand new DSLR Canon 450D with 18-55mm lens.. I think its enough for me as an Entry Level... Soon i will upload some of the pics i took here. Not now, too damn tired.
Still reading the manual and guide from Internet.. So many things i still didnt understand.
Anyone have experience in handling any DSLR you can give me some tips an tricks maybe??
Hurmm.. i've been accessing this blog through handphone... hehehe..
Oh!! Also bought iPhone 3G from Maxis.. As i've said to Prim Before..
And it is freakin' awesome!!! Sometime i think the internet connection for the 3G is faster than Wifi... Although i didnt jailbreak the phone, so i have to purchase it legitimately.. It was cool btw..
p/s: JM,
I got some latest job email.. just send it even though it require experiences. Kasi hantam ja.. mana tau lucky kan? U can try the E&I or whatever... shyt the latest job i got most of them have to be proficient in other language eg: Nepali, Urdhu etc.. Crazy!!!
So i just give u this! Even though in China, tp teda requirement language. Note that this company have many projects besides this.. So... Hantar sama sitihashimah ni.. then dapat access to all projects... suruh dia try semua, mana2 yg approve.. jalan la.
GOOD LUCK !!

Now press repeat
Blehhhhhh. So fekkin' tired. Baru jak balik dari London. Was on the train back when kiayee ym-ed. =D So London, why there. Last Sunday till Tuesday was the annual Malaysian Career Fair. Ramai-ramai pigi cari kerja! I always ignored these fairs since its irrelevant, or I'm just ego. Kunun, "ala, nanti sinang jak carik kerja". Then bloody recession hit, baru mau panic! at the disco.
p/s Mumu, £1 = Rm 5 something. €1 = Rm4 something. Feels so dam rugi kalo mau send money back home. *cry cry*. Was Rm6.7 on my first year. So unfair!
So anyway, Career Fair, which by the way explains the glasses, the vest and the tie. I would have wear a suit, (SUIT UP!) but imagine 1000 potential rivals wearing the same attire. Wearing something different would leave a better deep impression to potential employers, don't you think. It's all about tactics matey! Though Shell & Petronas reject! Dengar jak "I'm on loan from Mara & JPA", REJECT! Ugh, which part of the "loan" which they don't understand. I'm not bonded, not being forced to work with MARA and JPA. Duh. So urang-urang yang self-sponsored jakla (or Petronas sponsored) yang ble kerja sama Petronas. Bloody stupid policy they have. Shell rejected me twice (europe & asia) *cry cry*. Mimang bajet teda harapan pun Shell tu. SLB, "Selamba Ja" (ahak! XD) my fave O&G company tarik diri last minute. I heard they cancelled 'cause they're too busy "sizing down". RAWRRRRR. So all my hope is placed on the single walk-in interview with Sapura-Crest. Went okay, could have done better and will know end of the month *crossing all fingers and toes!* My mates (most of them) who went to the SPA (Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam) got the job offer of around Rm 2.5k pcm and benefits. Macam nda worth it tu pigi blajar jauh-jauh, hutang kliling pinggang to be paid as much. Well, at least they have pension.
p/s Jags, will email you soon my qualifications. Offshores opportunities if possible! *wink*
So anyway, London. Decided to have fun while there. So went to the wax museum, Madame Tussauds. I've been there twice now and still loving it. Some pics but BEWARE, I've gained "some" weight. Tula, malas mo pigi gym lagi. Koto!
The Legen....dary Jimi Hendrix, my fucking idol, Mr Johnny Depp and urang sot yang sangat kuat tapi pkai spender di luar. I think I'll go visit again before going back home. Then I went up the London Eye, which was okay. Imagine it looks better at night, hmm. Then went to the bloody Aquarium, which was shit. Ingat ada dugong ka, dolphin ka. Cisss. Buang duit!
Another thing that is popular among the Malaysian community is the Malaysian restaurants over here in England. Urang Mesia ni mimang kuat makan la, don't you think. So, over the period staying there, pigila join my friends. Kasih hilang rindu la kunun. First day was at Jom Makan! (Omg JM!, random lol). Situated a rock's throw from Trafalgar Square, not hard to miss. Ayam Percik! £7-8 per meal. Spent around £15. *cry* Tutup mata jakla. Lama nda makan percik percik manuk. Then went to Melur the day after. (originally Mawar, shut down cause of "rat" problem apparently).This new (to me) restaurant is all classy, with the prices all classy as well. Kambing Bakar (fancy name for Lamb Chop eh), Sate Anika, and Nasi Putih (I lol-ed while typing this). Spent around £15/16. Tu pun sebab dia salah kira. Dia terover bagi Sate, ahak! So spent around £30 for 2 meals. Hmmm, bole jadi telanjang ni by the time mo balik, abis duit. Went to my fave food shop in London, the Wasabi at Victoria station. Mmmm value for money £5 for Teriyaki Chicken with lots more rice and 3 pairs of sushi. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Screw you overpriced restaurant! *flickin the Vs*
P/s If I do come back home, ada urang mau kirim? Nothing too big and expensive! Bukan anak raja ni ging. Just let me know.
