Not a day goes by when I am not bombared with news of shooting with an alarming rate in Malaysia over a couple of months back and each day there is such news reported daily. Fear is high in the hearts of the people and this is effecting the economy as well as the image of Malaysia. I have been told that Malaysia is the safest place in Asian but when was that survey taken and now in reality it has another story to be told.
Well I am not sure of the recent shooting are related to drugs or gang or expanding the turf of their gang but no matter the reason the core question is the ability in getting firearms so easy and so cheap to execute someone. I read that with a merely RM5k one can hire a hired killer to "finish' of a person. Is our life that damn cheap ? I am told that the guns are being brought in from the north and so far the police are still investigating about the shooting. Why must the police not enforce more strict rules and enforce the law in a more diligently so that people who are bring in the gun or even having a gun is sentence harshly. Why wait until someone gets shot at before acting ? I am sure the police have fantastic intelligence in order to know the culprits behind all this shooting ?
The shooting is causing the image of malaysia to suffer really badly. After the screen of Lone Ranger, people have started to use the gun as a weapon to kill the person they have a tiff with or misunderstanding. Have we gone back to the Wild Wild West where a man can roam around the country with a gun ? I pray and hope that this does not happen not for me but for the sake of the future generation.
Well I hope the shooting with stop and for good.
As a citizen what is my role ? What can i do ? How can I help the police to curb the crimes in my area ? Has the police educated the young on their roles to curb crime ?
Well I know you will do the right thing after reading this blog !
Until next time stay safe and be safe and even play safe :P

AJH 9309
Well I had been very patient when i wanted to purchase a car. I saw Jeff my salesman 2000 and spoke to him and survey the car and the price and all the stuff that comes with it. Well then the debate between my dad and me started and i wanted to buy the car but my dad would put on his points which would win the argument. Well he is a very practical man which I somehow have inherited as well.
Well this year i was waiting for the election with the promise of the lower price of the cars. Well as expected the price of the cars did not fall down. Well that was when i put my foot down and decide to change the car and my dad gave in. Well buying a car is not an easy work and lots to do but i am happy that i have finally got my car. my first car in my life at the age of 40 . yeah before this i was using my uncle Indy's car which was a really nice car but it had served its two masters well. 12 years.
So change and new. Driving the new car is amazing and nice and lots of excitement. It only thing i am scared is that parking at malls and must be careful with the manner in which I park the car and the place. Yeah it is very important to know where to park the car at the mall. You should not park at secluded places as this would be easy target for people to break in.. also make sure that it is well lighted area and expect the place to be like what when you return after a few hours in the mall. Sometimes you need to expect the rain or dust to form if you park at places which are busy...
Adjustment to the car and getting to know the car. I am now getting use and the "feel" of the car and also the car is getting to know me. My new relationship is getting new and I know there will be lots of up and downs and i know we will be together through it no matter what !
Well thank you God for giving me the ability to purchase a car and thank you to my family for the encouragement ..
Well it is time to ride and pimp my ride !

CARs CArs CArs
Car ? what car ? Which car ? This year ? Next year ? When is the most suitable time to purchase a car in Malaysia ? What about the NAP? What about it ? Are the car prices going to come down in the near future ? What will happen to Proton and Perdua if that happens ?
Everyday in the daily paper there are sure to have ad on car and 5 year warranty and so on. The VW are giving a good deal and the you flip the paper and Toyota and Honda are giving terrible bad discounts on this and that. The next page our home grown Proton are giving much freebies and more to come.
What is happening ? My dad and me are always arguing about cars and he said that the price is going to come down by rm10k to rm20k which is a lot for a wage earner like me. The business man will have not problem with the price of any car but let us face it the price reduction should be meant for the man on the street and not those who can afford it .
Cars if they people can afford it that they should be given a choice to buy what they are comfortable with. I mean the government has its right to come up with Proton and with it had brought lots of jobs for the local and also got money..but for 30 years we gave the car to come up and compete with the international players. Come one Proton pull up your socks !
Well the rakyat want to have good car and good transportation for the future of malaysia. They want cheap cars and less tax on certain cars. Hybrid cars and electric cars should be given more chance to come in the country.
Well that is about it ! Hope someone reading this might like while others might things it is rubbish but that does not matter much to me because this is for me!
Until next time.. decide on a good Car

tandoor grill 12.1.2013
Thank God for letting me to take my parents and wife to dinner at Tandoor Grill to celebrate my birthday. Well it is the latest joint to be opened in Ipoh and it is very nice. Run by a Pubjabi family and the word is that they bought the land, erected the building and then started the restaurant. The reviews so far is good and the place is buzzing with customers and lots of people.
We reached the joint at about 6.30pm since we are the early birds and like the Chinese love to have early in the evening. Well as we turn into the entrance we were directed to a parking place by one of the owner and wow I was impressed with the staff being around he still hands on with the customers.
Then we waiting to be seated and I really liked the nine elephants at the entrance. The first impressive was like it look very pricey and can i afford it ? Well the place does take you to a different place and time with the background hindi tunes and the instrumental music..
There certain rooms which one could book in order to have your own private party and also have a close party.
Being a joint run by a punjabi family while and after having a good meal, my mom was walking around meeting her friend and hugging as they met. The manner punjabis greet each other are very warm and with a hug for those who are close to the heart.
Well my wife is a vegetarian and my dad and mom do not fancy prawns and mutton so it was a limited choice for us being the signature dish of tandoori chicken and the naan. I really like the staff there because he did not recommend the high price items but knew and recommend what is nice and popular. Well of course i had read the review and only took the ones which were recommend and which I liked and enjoyed. I did treat myself with the Kashmiri Tea and it is really nice. Well 4 pax and the total bill came to only rm117.00 only which is about rm30.00 perhead. I think that is really dirt cheap.
That was my birthday celebration and wife and mom are watching the serial on Astro now and dad is surfing the net while i compose this entry.
It has been sometime since we had a good establishment like this in Ipoh. Joint like Dehli Junction which was opposite ipoh padang did not survive the test of time. This place is sure giving Pakeeza a run for its money as well as Old Anderson Club.
Well all the best to this place and remember to make God your business partner !

Gone
Gone as you have,
so sudden and so swiftly,
yet I sense your every move,
Day in and day out.
Gone were those times,
When empty pockets and hungry dreams,
Was all that we had,
To dream big and start with a humble beginning.
To matter where life takes you,
To matter how hard is the struggle,
You need to know that one day,
God will reward you if you are sincere and pure !
Someday you might gain what you have lost,
Someday you might not gain what you have spend,
Someday you might lose everything,
Never for once lose Hope!

Spoilt with choices, We sure are !
Well recently when a friend confined in me that she wanted to change or rather upgrade her hand phone and she wanted me to help survey the market for the best mobile phone available. Well she told me budget was not an issue as being a teacher herself she had recently got her bonus.
I am not an expert in this field but i would like to help a friend and so i just ask her what she wanted to use the mobile for.. her main reason for the change of her old mobile phone.
She just wanted to change and keep with times and she did not care which brand or what but the features must be trendy.
After some intensive research and a few long hours and asking around i gave her my decision on Samsung mobile phone. This is because i am too using the mobile phone from Samsung and have so far to encounter any problems from it. Beside the Samsung brand has hit the market with such a force or rather storm that the consumers are left with lots of choices from casual users to heavy users to just chatting or sms. In other words, you have lots to pick on from Samsung rather than Apple. I mean Apple is good and does have a slight advantage over Samsung that its users are loyal to its brand from shuffle to ipad. mac and so on which for one this does not invite virus whatsoever. Nevertheless the price is not the worth the package given.
On the other hand, Samsung is a Asian brand coming into the mobile phones especially the smartphones. I for one never thought would get a Samsung brand mobile phone but I really did and it works fine with me.
So if you want a simple smartphone, I would recommend the Samsung brand which has so far made a name for itself with choices of mobile phones. In Malaysia, we have the Samsung Galaxy S2, S3, Note 1, Note2
Well the verdict is in and looks like i am going to help get my friend the samsung Note 2 read yourself on Samsung

melaka 3 nite 4 days 8 dec to 11 dec 2012
Well it was the school holidays and after doing my duty at invigilating finally ending at the 6 dec 2012 i decided to give my wife a treat via a holiday. Well as you know she wakes up with me to prepare breakfast for me when i go to school and so time to give her a well deserved treat and treat myself as well.
Since both of us are going to melaka so it is not economical for me to drive all the way to melaka and then drive back so i took the coach. Nothing like been driven and it was such a comfortable journey since i slept most of the way. Sri maju express at jalan bendahara. price at rm34.00 per person so all in came to rm130.00 for both of us. Well you might think that i am being a frugal but i consider it as streetwise smart. When i reached Melaka Sentral at about 4.00pm i was a bit tired since i started my journey at 10.00am. Well i took a taxi from Melaka Sentral (pakcik Rosli Amin 012-6030440 or at 014-6630778) He was a very nice person who is an ex army person. We chatted on politics and also on the changes in melaka over the years. He does a lot of driving over the border with going to as far as Genting as well. Well highly recommend.
Well he took me to my hotel. Best Western Wana Riverside Hotel which is at no2, Jalan Munshi Abudullah Melaka 75100 tel: 06-2897888.best western wana riverside hotel Well it has a nice view and wonderful buffet breakfast which is worth the money paid for. They also cater for vegetarian which was wonderful for me. As for the location, it is walking distance to the Melaka Gurdwara and as the staff there are so friendly. It is a new hotel and it is has a great promotion even for the government servant. Well highly recommend.
If you want to go for the Barsi of Sant Baba Sohan Singh ji in Melaka well you could stay at This hotel or a nearer hotel named Palace Hotel but it is just meant to sleep and that is all. I mean it is just to shower and sleep and then go back and do sewa at the gurdwara. Cheap and near the gurdwara.
Well it is walking distance from the Jonker Street my main aim of going to melaka. Well you can google about it and read about it but going there is awesome. From the dodol melaka to the fried cockles and the spicy cuttlefish to the bbq chips and the things you can get there is nice and cheap. You could get the souvenir from there as the price does not differ much at the other places. Well i walked and ate at the Geographer Cafe. Well the live music band is awesome plus they cater for vegetarians. Well i loved the cashew nut chicken with the fresh orange and the vegetarian pasta is really nice. Price is reasonable and location is good.
After walking in Jonker Walk (Jalan Hang Jebat) it is a nice walk. More like pasar malam but lots of variety of food and things to buy.
When in melaka make sure that you do not miss the chance to enjoy the Melaka River Cruise. Well it is a nice slow cruise along the river and you will be told about the changes in melaka by the tour guide. Price is rm9.00 for 1 hour journey on lazy melaka river is alright. My wife enjoyed it very much. I got down at the source of melaka river near the kompleks muzium maritime which i really enjoyed. It reminded me of Vasa museum in Sweden. Well i really like it here. It showed the levels of the ship and the things and canons used during the Portugis, Dutch and also the English era.
The Stadhuys which entrance is rm10.00 for adults was nice and worth the price paid. I also manage to go up the hill and down to the famous Port de Santiago, the St. Paul Church, The St. Francis Xavier's Church.
After watching all these and by now it was in the afternoon, time to hit the mall. Well the Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall. Very big and had most of the normal tenants.I liked the Heritage Gallery which is a place which should not be missed.Well had lunch and watched Rise of the Guardian at GSC.
Then took a meter cab back to the hotel. Uncle Radha 014-2681342. Fair from pahlawan to hotel..rm11.00
Well the next day went to Gurdwara Sahib Melaka. That was the first thing as wife told me it was something dad said MUST GO when at melaka. Well it was my wedding anniversary too so thank God for all the things which he has blessed me with and also with a wonderful wife. :)
After that hit Little India. It was a nice walk which is short. Walking in the town made me feel that melaka is not that big but rather small. Well ended up at mahkota parade which has parkson and Giant as tenant. Well after that guess where we ended. Well went back to GSC at pahlawan and watched Life of Pi 3D which was awesome. After the movie took the taxi back again to the hotel.
Well i wanted to go to Coral Wonderland at F4 level 4 Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall but wife was not interested. Well maybe next time.
Hope the infomation given come useful to someone out there and have a nice holiday.
