Happy Birthday to ME!

Heheheeee.. usually deep inside, i did not celebrate my birthday. But this week will celebrate kau-kau lat punya! Not because plus another a year on my age, or masuk kategori senior (minta simpang.. kalau boleh).. or the gift..

but..

I'm celebrated a year of free from haram-jadah tobbaco/rokok/.

FREEEEEDOOOOOOOMMM!!! - Shout like a William Wallace.

Start smoking since Form 4 (stay in hostel school), after SRP. Still remember the first cigar was SALEM. That time it cost only RM2.50 for 20s a pack. Cheap hah!Compare to nowdays. First time isap.. because of friends. Yayayaaaaa.. everybody tuduh kawan. Sedirik yang buat.

First sedut..
Khoohh..koh! koooh! koooooohh! - Aku telan asap, masuk dalam perut. Air mata meleleh. Mata merah.. Kawan2 gelak. Babi betul... - best!
That was end of first sedut.

Next day after breakfast.
Naik hostel, jumpa kawan. Hutang satu "stone" haaa. It was SALEM again. This time.. nekad punya.. musti habis satu batang.

First sedut.. sikit. "Sit". Khoooh.. khhoooooh!
Second... improve sikit. No batuk
Third.. then seterus.. until 20s a pack.. i could finish it in a day. (..not an extreme smoker).

Then.. last year, half an hour before 12am of 28 April. Puff my last kopek of cigar and said to myself..

"Aku stop isap and aku stop buying this Light Marlboro.."

Aku sedut gila babi punya… until no smoke coming out. Hehehee.. aku pun tak tau mana pi asap tuh.. Keluar kot bontot kot.. and till today, tengok kotak rokok.. pon dah tak lalu.

I’m free.

Sapa yang still smoking.. Keep going guys!! Fill-up your jantung with asap. Burn your $$. Give second-hand smoke to love one. Be prepare for heart attack... until you found strong reason why you want to quit. - Hopefully.. it not too late.

And to N, CM and sapa2 yang ucap Happy Birthday kat aku. Terima kasih bebanyak kerana mengingati tarikh ni. Kerana hangpa ambik-berat + kawan + regular-blog-visitors + make-hit-counter-berjalan + encourage-me-to-update-this-blog + aku-berlari + aku-kayuh-gerek + aku.... = My dream. TQVM.

Errr.. ada sapa2 nak register run event.. Penang Bridge ka.. Kedah Marathon kaa.. A.Star Mini marathon kaaa... kasi your detail to me ;P

Group Ride

Last week send my rusty MTB for repair at Pekan Lama, SP. The owner memang kaki MTB. Ask me to join their group on weekend off-road ride. Can't la. Mine already expired. >10 years. Kaput/reput. Ini pon first time mai service. Cikgu used to ride with it around taman with kids.

Before left, pass him my card. To cantact me, if he know any road-bikers.

Saturday.
Morning, did a 10km run. Home - TSM - home. 25.44 + 22.24 = 48.08 and 50km bike on evening. Home - Eastern by-Pass - SP Selatan toll - SP Utara toll - Bandar Laguna Merbok - Eastern by-Pass - Tmn Jublee.

Cikgu brought kids to playground. Upon reached, she did 3km jog and i monitored kids playing. Then continue kayuh balik rumah.

Received SMS from SP Bikers.. ajak join kayuh esok to Tanjung Dawai. They got my hp# from bicycle shop. Canteeekkkk

Sunday.
Meeting point - Jetty Semeling @ 7:40am. Patut jeti ni jadi one of jetty (A.Setar, K.Perlis and Penang) to P.Langkawi... but maybe one of "Projek Sakit" then convert it to foodcourt and fishing. Pundek! Dig-cam - Ran out of batteries.

There were 6 of them excluding me. All veteran. >38 yrs old. Said hi + sembang and wait for another member. 8:15am. Kayuh to Tg Dawai thru kampung roads. Semeling - Sg Batu ñ Lembah Bujang - Deraka - Tg Dawai.

Just a slow ride. Chating with other members. 4 of them worked at Sharp-Roxy in SP. Not so many road-bikers in SP. MTB-bikers banyak.

It was different when riding in group. A lot of fun, more racing mode, and I could pedalled much more faster compare doing alone. From Bujang to Tg Dawai, jalan cantek, no cars and nice paddy field.

Tanjung Dawai. 30km.
Stop for breakfast at mamak stall. Then meet-up with Bedong MTB group. <20. Salam + chat. Majority of them staying in Bedong.. but i never seen them before. May be they using off-road kot. Then we pedalled together back to Semeling.

Half-way. My group speed-up tinggal geng MTB. Until Semeling, I left my group, said bye and turn to Bedong. They head to Jetty Semeling.

Nice group ride.


Sampai Tanjung Dawai. SP - veteran group


To mamak stall for breakfast


Left. Errr.. lupa nama, Brahim and Reza.


Toyu, pulut inti, bengkang, pak tongko and apam - burrrr!


Gerek


+ Geng MTB Bedong

P/S:

Bini # 2

For 3 weeks.. search for right bini. Tidoq tak lena, makan pun terpaksa, lari tak bergerak, googlekan dia whenever open the Mozilla. Ask for recommendation from ex-rider at my office. A lot of tasks pending because of reading review, info and comments thru the net.

Most of the review I read at http://www.roadbikereview.com/reviewscrx.aspx

Then I shortlist 3 candidates base on 3 criteria.
1. Entry level
I’m a newbie. Never test ride on a road bike. So entry level is suitable, not too much technical thing. Having a computer background, I love to.. but not now – serabut kapla. I want a quick-setup.

2. Value for money
Subjective. Doesn’t mean cheaper but must be reliable. Give me a satisfaction and I dislike to go back to square. Still have value, if plan for trade-in.

3. Local
Of course laa… Easier for support and maintenance services. If.. could cover 24x7x52 + 3 years warranty labour and parts on-site and a first-party insurance like motorbike.

Bought at Penang. KetamBatu recommends the cycle shop. Without him sure kena sembelih.. but their services.. Marvellous! – They are expert and pro.

After bergaduh and bertengkaq finally the tauke gave more > 15% from tag price. Last week, ask for this price – tak dapat.

Sunday - Test ride >50km.

From home to Sg. Petani then to Tupah, to test low gear. Play-play with the gear up-down-up-down. Tik-tak-tik-tak. Wuihhh.. syiok siot

After 20km, kaki gatai + bontot sakit

Get down from bike and run with it for 3km. Ketagih! 3 weeks not running. Then @Semeling T junction, right - going back. Speedometer shown 40km, another 4km akan sampai rumah.

"Ceh.. awai lagik..cuaca pun ok"

Turn left to Tupah for hilly road. Had to use the lowest gear.. wish it got 10 gears. Sampai rumah. Sakit bontot. Sakit celah kangkang. Cuci sikit.. and had a breakfast in-front of it..

Hiss.. macam mana aku boleh terlibat dlm kancah-kancah perlumbaan ni

Hello World II

My second "Hello World" posting a message from my home.
Just got installed fixed line by Telekom “yang baru”. 2 1/2 year waiting for line.

Before, i'm using a CDMA telephone. A wireless telephone supplied by Telekom. With same rental fee with normal dail-up line, able to got full coverage. Not much interruption.

The Telekom techs said that I’m able to browse fast as fixed line using the CDMA phone. But.. after test internet thru CDMA... ceehh.. slow-slow-slow nak mampuih. 9-18kbps – mangkuk!! ...That was 2 years ago.

I’m requested for streamyx – Not yet!
After installed.. Had to waiting for two weeks before the phone could call-out.
- Follow-up with contractor.. they said “Telekom punya fault”
- Called Telekom, they said don’t know
- Took ½ leave, went to Kedai Telekom, they said.. There is nobody in Service dept to refer. Before left, asked for telephone # for Service Dept.
- Next day.. call direct to Service Dept.. within 10minutes received from Telekom’s tech and viola..

Thinks, this a minor problem. Kind of plug-in the patch cord or something.. but banyak sangat red-tapes or nganga... menyusahkan orang.

I’m going to surrender and terminate the CDMA this week.. See how fast they could refund me the deposit... Cash?! Don’t think so..

I bet.. > 6months
