My Weekend story with the King Crabs...!

Classification :: Personal

The whole last week was hectic. I was in the logsite in Gelang Patah to do the volume measurements of the logged timbers.

Have u heard the name Gelang Patah? It used to be a busy townport for the people of Johor. Sungai Pulai used to be the place where the people went to attend the water sports, even the Sultan. It was also believed that Gelang Patah was one of the place that has grown with the cultural arts and performance activities that is synonym with Johor.


Last few months, back in June, I had also purchased a medium-sized boat to enable us to run our project efficiently. Due to some reasons, the mechanic that was assigned to do the repairing work of the boat has been making some shit that delayed our preparation to get the boat to work. Well, it has just been completed, and we also have a new boat as well. AN excavator and a boat! I've never imagine myself to own both of it.


That was Lis (his name is actually Sahrulliszam), a partner who was keeping his eyes on the operation of the excavator. The workloads was not that heavy that we're still able to catch up with the low numbers of the logs that were taken out from the forest. The excavator is using the bucket, the one that they use to dig the soil, instead of the forks-looking hands that is supposed to grab the timbers, I'm not so sure what is it in English but local people call it 'KIAP'. It'll be ready by Friday and I'm hoping the work will be getting better soon.


To do the measurement, it was not hard as the last time where we have to do the middle perimeter measurement, but this time, we just measure up the diameter at the end of the log. Well, it would still need a lot of work to be done as actually, we used cable to take up the logs and transfer it to the collaboration place. So, at one time, we would need at least 5 people to do the measuring work.


Poor my car. It has to go through all the sandy route roads to get access to this place of work. I really need to do the paint job for this car then. Some part of the car is getting rusty, as the result of always going by the salt water area. It's not easy to have a car when you have to go by the sea so often.


It was really tiring working there for the whole day, but, it was well paid off by looking at the nice scenery after 6PM. It was so cooling and consoling. That's why i'd prefer to stay until it's a bit late there; to enjoy the scenery and to avoid traffic jams. The traffic jams should be a lil bit relieved after 8PM or something.


So while waiting for the time to pass by, what else that we can do rather than eating? Food is always good expecially after the whole exhausting day. We would normally do BBQ; anything would do. Chicken, fish, mutton, shelled creatures like lokan. ibau and so on. But just recently, we had supplied the workers with fishing nets so that they can easily get the fishes freshly. Instead of fish, as just on the last Saturday, these workers found 'King Crab' or 'Belangkas' instead of fishes in their net.



As it is was still consumable, on the last Saturday, we had Belangkas to fill in our free time. We burn them while they're still alive. Looks very cruel isn't it?

* Caution :: There's one part in the King Crab that is not consumable, and even if it's broken, the whole King Crab is no longer consumable. It may cause death or 1st class food poisoning that may cause slow death. It is advised to have an experienced person t be with you when you are about to eat King Crab. And after consuming the King Crab, Coffee, Honey and alcoholic drink is highly prohibited. It's like suicidal. So, do not take this as an idea of suicide. I would not be responsible for any suicide or death that has got anything todo with consuming the King Crab after you read this article.

What else to shock you?

Classification :: General

Earlier, it was supposed to be a shock to most of the people in Malaysia when Siti Nurhaliza announced that the man was Datuk K, while i myself was hoping that Datuk K would still be rumours.

She intended to surprise a lot of people by doing her grand wedding. I wonder why Dr. Mahathir did came to the wedding, because KJ was there. POLITICS!

F*ckin obvious, the crews in the wedding were seen to kiss KJ's ass by a few times focusing on him, as I do think, he's not the focus in the wedding. I'd prefer if they could focus more on Kris Dayanti, or whoever pretty that night.

Enuff! I was about to start to admit what Siti had done good for her and all of us, and even started to be her fan.

I cannot accept the marriage. Reasons? Haha. Why eh?

Then, there was nothing special about Mawi & Ina program on Astro and RTM. I admit that I've been watching Mawi & Ina more than the Siti's wedding, as the wedding would just show us nothing much than the people who came and bla bla bla. At least, Mawi & Ina was an informative program.

And obviously, Mawi broke up the engagement for no concrete reason, as he was trying to run away from answering the truth of why he left Ina. I think everyone else would wanna know, even though it's not important at all.

My mom were asking, why would Ina humiliate herself, as she could actually just stay home and keep quiet. The thing is, she may have or may have not done the right thing. She is definitely not Tengku Zawiyah, someone who had been strong enough to live with someone like Datuk K, who at last was dumped off Datuk K's life just like that. JUST LIKE THAT!

I was hoping that Mawi would say that Ina is like this or that, because Ina would also want to know. At last, only God knows why.

Recently, the BAJET 2007 was quite impressive. I was quite surprise when the Government reduces a lot of payments, including to let student to sit for public school exam for free. It's good for the poor but not fair for the richer. It wouldn't be good to discriminate but actually the rich gained so much from the BAJET.

Look at it carefully, I admit that the poor will definitely benefit from the BAJET but the rich? Even more!

So the Government has been rich enough nowadays huh? I wonder.

I'm SHOCKED! All this while all the Mega projects had been cancelled because we don't have enough money. How does the country suddenly become rich? Magic!

But the latest shock was the death of the crocodile hunter, Steve Irwin. I've veen worshipping him as one of the bravest people in the world. He's contribution in conserving the wild life and forest, not to mention his contribution to the study of the wild life, especially the endangered (and dangerous too) are too much to mention in my humble blog.

It's very hard to believe at first as the news of his death has once spread all over the Internet a few years back, but it turns to be a scam.

But now, it's on CNN! Click here to read more about it.

It's still hard to accept but the way he dies off was surely a tragedy. As his usual of pushing everything to the limit, he tried to be as close as possible, taking himself as invulnerable, he was just at the wrong position and timing. He came over the top of the stingray, the tail came up, and spiked him in the chest. He pulled it out and the next minute he's gone.

JUST LIKE THAT!

Now i hate stingrays! But i would still love to eat them. Pari Bakar is very nice you know!

Breaking Updates!

Classification :: Personal

Phewh!

I've updated all the trip pages and i even put some pictures. It took me almost the whole day to do all of them.

It was a tiring week after the trips. Short breaks between both trips to Selat Panjang and Jakarta/Bandung disallowed me to rest, not to mention to update my lovely blog.

The other reason of why didn't I updated the blog was the craziness towards the games in www.angau.com as I reached a level of the richest member there but somehow, taking care of a lot of pets was really a pain in the ass. I really cannot do anything else in my life except for waiting for each and every hour to wait for the next turn to pet the pets.

I decided to quit petting the pets and just be a quiet member with a lot of angau money then.

During the weekend, I was busy taking my mom to the wedding and helping my brother to buy himself a laptop. He got ACER laptop with the price of just RM2200. No fool man. RAM 512MB with Centrino 1.7GHz. But no XP. hehe..

Right after the weekend in KL, I was so busy managing a lot of delayed work. One of it was to find an excavator; or local people call it as 'KOBE' to the logging and land works. For me, the purpose was just to get the logs to be loaded up to the lorry. It's very hard to do work without one.

After a lot of searches, Lis found one and it cost me only RM15k and so easy, i have an excavator now!

This is mine. At last, i'm owning an excavator...!

On the 31st August, other people would just get involved in the national day celebration or just stay at home watching TV, or maybe go shopping. With a very short notice for the reasons I don't know why, my cousin is getting married! So the whole family drove up on the 30th night to give them some hands.

I was supposed to celebrate merdeka with some friends. Ish..!

So, when the day come, then only I got to know that my cousin, Fadli with the age of 25 is getting married to someone older, Musalmah with the age 35 and he'll be getting 3 free children. The eldest is 15 years old.

Sounds funny but no joke, it's fated.

Everyone before entering the house of the bride. Fadly is in yellow dress, looked very handsome
At home before going for 'NIKAH' ceremony.

So many things happened that I cannot recall most of them then. I didn;t even followed the Malaysian BAJET as I was so busy.

Will do some analyze of the BAJET later..
