Revisit Japan after 17 years

Yep! that's right.
I am going to Japan (Kumamoto)  next month for business trip from 8th to 15th May 2010.
Of course F.O.C. la, company send me there.
I am going to my company Headquarters.
The last time I went to Japan when my "maggi" not so "kembang".
It was in April 1993.

At Narita Airport, April 1993. Waist 27 inches, weight 47kg. Now? I am so far away from ideal B.M.I.

I don't know the flight plan yet.

Maybe via Bangkok to Fukuoka or KL - Narita - Fukuoka.

Both ways also tiring.

But the more tiring is I gotta eat Japanese food for one week.

Not that I don't like it but for one whole week, man, I wish there are Nasi Kandar in Kumamoto like the one in Hanoi. 

But I doubt it.

Anyway, beside my cup maggi (reminds me of Hanim Husin), I will definitely bring a long Brahim's pack curry.

Just dip in hot water for 3 minutes and its ready to eat.

And also instant porridge to eat with it. 

Huhh! am going to Japan, well equipped with instant food!!

P/s;

1) After 17 years, my current weight is 78kg and my waist 37 inches. (I think my waist size is following my age!)

     The result after 17 years... (Maggi ku sudah kembang)

Story About the Coolest Ambulance Driver on Earth.

OMG it has been years since my last post.

Been so buzy lately, "taihen des ne!"

I have not brought work to home for many years but now, I did.

Wa lau wei... why am I so workaholic nowadays?

Those are excuses for not posting..hahaha!

Well, to tell the truth, I am not myself lately, I am so hardworking, serious looking, skip lunch etc.

All this, plus all the positive things, make me an alien to myself. 

I am losing my very own self.

Why?

Atama ittai!!

WTH lah.. I am not going to loose myself again..

Now, I am going to post something my kind and my type.

This true "sengal" but funny story.

It happened on 14 July 1993, I remember well because it's my daughter's birthday.

She is my second child.

Wah, 17 years ago lah.. (so fast ahh!!)

She is going to sit for SPM this year.

Back to the story,

That day, my wife felt a pre-delivery pain etc.

It was not due date yet, I thought my baby wanted to get out early to see the world.

So, back then I only have "kapcai", so my brother in-law called an ambulance.

It took around 30 minutes for the ambulance to reach Ayer Itam from General Hospital, Penang.

I followed together in the ambulance.

As we reached Jalan Scotland, my wife felt the baby was so near and told the nurse about her condition.

The nurse told her to hold her breath.

I guess she didn't want her to deliver in the ambulance.

I wonder, if my baby was delivered there, what will be her place of birth in the birth certificate?

Imagine Scotland Road, he he he..nice.

In  emergency situation, the ambulance normally speed-up and on the ninoninonino sound but the ambulance went on so smoothly and quietly like nobody business while the baby was nearly delivered.

I was puzzled and a bit panic, when the ambulance stopped at traffic light.

I asked the nurse why an ambulance need to follow traffic rules during emergency.

She kept quiet. 

Finally we reached Maternity Hospital in Jalan Residensi.

As I registering, the nurse brought my wife straight to labor room.

Just within minutes she delivered a cute baby.

Fuhhh..! Finally all the agony and anger to the ambulance driver disappeared.

There you go!

For the record, that man was the coolest ambulance driver in the world.

If only they hired ex mat rempit or formula one driver for driving ambulance.

Morale of the story:

Don't hire "mat bendul + skema" as ambulance driver.

My daughter who nearly born in Scotland Road, Penang on the way to Maternity Hospital, Atikah Liyana Dhabitah in green shirt.

Motivated by a T shirt?

My source of motivation came from a T shirt.
Why a mere T shirt can motivate me?

This is my current favorite T shirt.
My old habit die hard is if I like to wear something, I will always wear it until wear off.
This shirt was given to me as souvenir from Kumamoto, Japan by my friend Timmy Ang.

What I like the most is the material keep me cool all the time.
I don't like thick shirt because it make me sweating.
Hot weather can drive people crazy just like this story
Other than that, the black color hides my extended and renovated "front porch".

I think, I look tougher LOL.
The dragon picture also very cool and mysterious.
I like it very much and I think my motivation level is higher each time I wear this T shirt.

This is What I call True Feeling

This is what I called true feeling.
A 9 years old girl (classmate) sent this note to my daughter Aesya Lutfiah Dhabitah.
Have a look.

"You are my true friend! But you tend to make boys, crazy about you".

I don't know what to say.
Maybe this is joke of the year.
