088 - The Sunday Rain

How long has it been since I've written here? Yet it is still here. With all the new social media, it seemed blogs have been surpassed. However, there are no better medium to write stories than here. So here I go.

--------------------------------------------------------

Today is Sunday, 29th of March 2015, when I decided to do something I rarely do, and encountered an experience which I never expected.

So there I was sitting lazily in my room watching some gaming videos on YouTube when a spark lit in me to go for some slow jog on the nearby hill. That and the fact that I am going for a vacation in two weeks to an island and I want to be in the best of shape.

5:30pm - I put on some loose clothes and grab my keys to go out. Everything was routine, not expecting anything, just the visual of me relaxing on top of the hill with a breathtaking view.

Lou on top of the hill

6:00pm - I arrived at the top of the hill after a 30minute hike on foot. The view was as usual marvelous. As the gust blows mildly, taking the tiring breath away and the mild evening sun kissing my skin. I put on some old school musics from The Ink Spots (thank you Fallout 3 for introducing me to this golden charm).

Consider listen to this song, guys

It was paradise, and there I was in it, basking in it's moments.

6:20pm - Suddenly a chopper from nowhere came and circles around the neighbourhood. It swooped by once, I took my monocular and look at it closely, trying to identify it. Then it swooped by again, the second time, and I got curious on what is it searching.

The it swooped by the third time and closer to me, so I grab my phone, attached the monocular and snapped a picture of it.

I wonder what it was searching

Then after that third fly-by it flew away north, at that is where I saw the rain clouds and multiple lightnings. So I enjoyed one last music, pack up and descent the hill.

6:30pm - As I was about to leave, rain came, and it came with a vengeance. A trickle turns into a downpour almost instantly. As thunder began, fear sets in. For the first time in my life I was actually scared of getting hit by lightning. Being so high on a very cleared hill, that chance is high, so I walk close to whatever trees and coverings I could find.

As the rain gets heavier, I'm worried of the state of my devices, my phone, my tablet, my power bank, so I stopped for a moment, went into the bushes, looking for something. Lucky for me to find some pandan plants that naturally have a water-repellent effect, so I grab some of the leaves, wrapped my devices with it and move on.

6:45pm - The rain isn't stopping, but I was neither scared or worried any more. Being already wet, I just walk leisurely and play with the downstream I found on the road. I thought to myself, "We have no control over this, we are just living in it, just like everything else".

7:00pm - As I walked past a gas power plant, a man whistled at me. He was sheltering under a roofed car park, I decided to join him as this rain has no indication of stopping. So I met with this uncle who also happens to jog up the hill but never make it due to the rain, we talked a bit about the thunder, the exercise and his stories.

We chatted quite a bit, and it turned spiritual, and inspirational. He shared his insight of the world around us, and how connected we are to it. As the rain subsides, we walked together to the exit while continue chatting. Soon as I arrived at my motorcycle we bid our farewells.

7:30pm - As I see him walked away, I wondered what a day it had been. It reminded me on how I was almost not going to go out this evening because I'm lazy. If I were to do that, maybe as the rain falls, I would thank to myself for not going out and ruined a good lazy weekend.

But that rain did not ruin one bit of the day, it actually made it better.

So that was my adventure, it was nothing compared to great journeys and travels, but to find something so beautiful and spiritual right in my backyard was definitely a great thing in my book.

Adventures is not about where it is, but what it feels. Your mundane outings to the grocery might turned into a mini adventure itself if you give it a new look.

Go out, you never know when an adventure will come.

Rebroll - Pertama kali melihat "sesuatu"

Mungkin anda selalu dengar cerita dari kawan yg menyatakan ianya dari kawan punya kawan punya kawan. Tapi kali ini aku nak cerita sesuatu yg terjadi pada diri aku sendiri. Yep, aku yg lalui bukan aku dengar cerita.

Ceritanya berlaku tahun lepas pada pukul 3 pagi sewaktu pulang dari parti hari jadi kawan aku kat Wangsamaju. Aku memandu pulang ke Serdang melalui MRR2 berdua dgn kawan aku, tapi dia tidur di seat belakang. Pendek kata aku memandu sensorang la sepanjang perjalanan tu.

Sewaktu aku sampai di penghujung MRR2 menghala ke KESAS aku ambil pusingan kekiri untuk masuk ke lebuhraya KL-Seremban(dalam gambar), jalan tu pada waktu siang memang banyak kereta lalu, tapi pada waktu malam memang sunyi. Tapi aku tak rasa keras sangat kerana disebelah selekoh itu ada flet PPR yg memang penuh dgn orang.

Jadi aku pun masuk ke selekoh itu, pada masa itu memang kereta aku sahaja yg ada, dari jauh aku nampah satu kelibat warna putih yg kelihatan seperti signboard kat tepi jalan, tapi tiada tulisan, putih suci mcm kain baru.

Makin aku dekat dengan benda tersebut makin jelas aku nampak rupanya, ternampak ikatan pada hujung atas seperti gula-gula, dan pada sukunya terikat satu tali yg membuat ianya kelihatan seperti kepala. Jelas aku nampak kelibat itu menyerupai sesuatu yg aku selalu tengok dalam TV atau mendengar cerita. Aku tak mampu berpatah balik kerata selekoh itu sehala, jadi aku terpaksa gagahkan juga lalui selekoh itu, makin lama makin dekat dgn kelibat itu. Aku cuma bersangka baik yg ianya cuma papan tanda.

Apabila jarak kereta aku dan benda itu hanya beberapa depa, tiba2 benda itu melompat ke arah kereta. Tuhan dan kawan aku saja yg tahu betapa aku menjerit pada masa itu disamping cuba menggagahkan tangan untuk mengawal kereta dari terbabas. Kawan aku lantas terbangun dari tidur di seat belakang dan bertanya pada aku apa yg terjadi, dia sangka kereta kami menuju kemalangan. Kelibat itu dah tiada aku tinggalkan di belakang. Aku gagahkan juga memandu sehingga masuk ke persimpangan bulatan lumba kuda. Tekak perit dari jeritan tadi dan aku berkata dgn terketar2 yg aku ternampak "itu". Dia terus beristighfar dan membaca ayat Qursi, aku tak mampu berkata apa lagi, aku terlalu terkejut.

Kami terus tejaga dan berhenti di kedai mamak berdekatan untuk menenangkan fikiran dan berehat, sehingga matahari naik baru kami melanjutkan perjalanan pulang ke Serdang.

009 - Stereotyped

When talk about first impression, people talk about their appearance, a scary appearance often shows that the person is bad, a wrongdoer. But does this necessarily be true? The fact that a bad face doesn't necessarily mean the person is bad.

Video thanks to Tubelawak for the first impression.

007 - Dad

This post is dedicated to my dad, it's an old post from my old blog, but hey, I would like to give appreciations to my dad.

Dad,
I remember how u used to cook foods for us,
I miss the ayam kurma u always made.

Dad,
I miss the times I kiss your hand before I go to school,
even ur hand was big, with bruises everywhere.

Dad,
I miss the time we go out together in your red iswara car,
even your legs were in pain pressing the pedals.

Dad,
I remember when I made wrong things in school, and you need to see the teachers,
but you don’t scold me, but advise like an adult.

Dad,
I miss going shopping with you,
when we buy groceries together.

Dad,
I remember your snores, fills up the night sky,
but your face was so calm as if nothing disturb you.

Dad,
I remember sending you to KLIA, watching u fly to Langkawi,
as you do your job, for our sake.

Dad,
I remeber how you always came home every month,
and we enjoy the days together.

Dad,
I miss your voice,
I miss your laugh.

Dad,
I remember visiting you at the hospital,
I spoonfed you and you looked up like you saw an angel,
It’s mom was it? Yes, she’s been there too dad…

Dad,
I remember leaving to say goodbye to you for the last time,
I didn’t know back then, but you looked so sad and pale.

Dad,
I remember receiving a call telling me that your in a critical state,
U lie there with all the machines helping your lungs to breathe and your heart to beat…

Dad,
I was told by doctor that you are gone,
I still remember I was been given the option to end your heartbeat,
I know you are not there anymore dad, the machine is the one breathe it…

Dad,
I still remember the doctor turn off the machine and bring you to the ward,
I still remember looking at you in tears as I heard the beep goes faster till it end up
ti—————————————————-

I couldn’t stop my tears, dad…
I still remember closing your eyes and kiss your forehead for the last time.
and my heart starts racing and went outside to cry…. I cried out loud… really loud…

Dad,
4134, I’ll visit this place often…
I will still remember our memories…
I will still remember to visit u everytime…
This coming Ramadhan, I’ll pray for your peace.
May you rest in peace,
Dad….

005 - 2nd Ramadhan

Haha 2nd Ramadhan is over already and today I get to taste my current favourite drink, kedondong with plum juice. Dunno why but this drink is quite popular lately since some of the restaurants and even stalls are selling it compare to last year. Well the taste is like the late P. Ramlee's movie, "masam masam manis". haha. But somehow today has been a really long day compared yesterday, I wonder why. With my final year report still needed approval that I still didn't manage to see my supervisor yet despite going up and down the office several times. Where are u??

004 - 1st Ramadhan

Haha, looks like 1st Ramadhan goes quite slow and unproductive. I've been secluded in my room whole day online and doing web socialising. Until I realised OMG its already 7. Haha there no more time for foodshopping. I just grab the keys and went to the nearby mamak store for the old classical maggi goreng and iced milo. Then just went back for rest before going for a short terawikh. Hurm, I didn't decide yet what to eat for sahur tomorrow. Probably gonna went out for a food hunt after this. U r right folks, its gonna be a food month. haha

003 - Salam Ramadhan

Ramadhan came again, and its time for gastric and stomachaches again. haha. Well I was thinking of making a ramadhan diary for these 30days. So alot of food pictures gonna come up! Don't read it on daylight. haha. Alas, for all my muslim brothers and sisters, lets make this ramadhan a meaningful ramadhan. Insyaallah~

002 - My First Time Seeing The Unknown

Guess I started of my story with an experience from me myself. Not taken from anyone.

I could not think n sleep until I told this story, a story happened months ago on this year.

It was 4am I think when I was on my way back home from a birthday party with my friend. I was driving while cruising at a normal rate of 80kmh average.
Then when I was on the KESAS-federal intersection after MRR2, I take a left exit to Seremban. my dear friend was sleeping at the back seats since she was tired, thus I was driving alone.

I dunno if the exit is deserted or not much used nor dangerous. But as I enter the corner i saw something strange, its like a white cloth standing between the trees, my adrenaline rushes as I approaches it closer.

The cloth was so white as if it was just bought, the top of it is tied into a knot like candy, then at the quarter of length there's also a knot tied that made it look like a head, I swear I looked like something I usually saw and heard on TV and movies. but the bottom part is not tied. My heart began trembling, my eyes looked straight to it.

Then as I was as close as a meter to it, the thing bended and jump. Subhanallah, I shocked.....
I froze, but manage to gain strength to drive as my heart was racing. Then after what I remember is that i was screaming like hell. I screams my lungs out. My friend woke up and asked me why. As I was driving into the intersection into the palace of golden horses' roundabout, I took a breath, my throat was irritated to the scream, I gulped and said I saw the thing. She was also shocked, she whispered Subhanalah, Allahuakbar and every other dziqir. I could just silenced.... I asked her to read Qursi, I could not do it, I was trembling as I was also driving.

We just continue until we reached a mamak stall and stopped, we needed some company. until the day breaks.

001 - First posting

Now that I have access, I could blog again, huhue. Well this is a pretest blog so don't expect much from me. hehe. I'll try to update as frequent as i can.
