My Beserah Trip 13/10 - 15/10

My Best Friend Nini and I by the beach across our cabin. Before dinner. Just got back from work at Beserah.


Lotus plant. Right infront of our Cabin. Its really beautiful. It gave me the serenity inside of me. Really have to take the kids here. Hopefully next weekend before the monsoon gets really bad.



This is where i had my tea after work and nice charcoaled bun. Hai Peng is a very famous kopitiam at Kemaman. My boss En azli took me and 3 other colleagues of mine 2 years back. It has been there since 1940..and the kaya bread is fantastic. The black coffee is simply uuurrmmmp.


On Tuesday 13th Oct, after work and rite after Maghrib, I had to drive to Beserah, Pahang. Because I have some problem with my left leg, Nini had made a promise, any outstation trip I will not drive alone but with her. So, I picked her up at her place and straight to Kuantan. We made a move around 7.45pm. Nini said I am so stubborn for not letting her drive. She knew I was tired coz I was at work as early as 8am and i only slept for 2 hours the nite before. On top of that, I had RTM meetings. Reached Kuantan decided to look for the place where my event would be held at Beserah.

Reached my favourite hide out place at Cherating around 1.20am. Unfortunately it was close. Nini called Shah who happen to own the bar across the the chalet we wanted to stay. He told us to stay at the chalet next door .
As long as the place is clean and has an attached bathroom WITH A DOOR, i'm fine. Shah called the owner and thank God, there was chalet available. If not, guess we have to stay in a car. And if that was to happen, i would be dead duck because my event started at 8am the next day. Reached our cabin, put everything on the bed, I rushed to the toilet. Came out from the toilet, my eyes just caught this flickering thingy on our bed. Nini and Shah were smoking outside. When I got near the bed, to my horror, it was a medium size butterfly. I have phobia when it comes to butterfly or moth.(long story why la). I jumped and screamed like as as if I saw a ghost. I ran outside and jumped off the chalet standing in the rain and begged Nini and Shah to get rid of the butterfly. After 5 minutes trying to catch it, finally Shah managed to catch and let it free outside.
After awhile, Nini went to send Shah back to Lil Bali. I locked the door and called Qel.
I was having a good conversation with him, when suddenly i saw another creepy crawler. A Cockroach. And when it started to move towards my bed, I got up still on the phone with Qel, standing on the bed with my eyes followed the movement of that stinky creature. It got nearer to the bed and suddenly it came down and got onto the bed.Qel kept me company over the phone. I told myself what could be worst then getting myself stuck in a small place and cockroach as your company?
Guess what, as I turned my head looking for any newspaper to whack that sticky creature, I saw this hole on the wall covered with masking tape. The I remembered what Shah told us earlier before nini & i checked in. He said this place has a peeping tom. I was updating Qel on every movement of that cockroach. When it crawled on the floor i had to jump back on the bed. And i told Qel about that hole on wall too and the peeping tom. Felt so hungry then. Had to wait for nini to come back. Qel was sweet enough to keep me company over the phone.
At 2am, suddenly a loud knock on the door and again i jump and scream. Gosh thank God i didn't get a heart attack. It was nini. She came back with some food. Alhamdulillah. Heheheh when I opened the pack it was nugget. I dont normally eat nugget but damn i was hungry. Had a couple of pieces. At 3.30am, Qel and I finished our conversation as i had to sleep. Had 2 and half hours of sleep. Nini woke me up at 7am. Took a cold shower and off to Beserah for the Rakan Cop event.

The Chalet across ours. This was taken in the evening after my duty at Beserah. Its simply breathtaking.

The lake is another breathtaking view. Taken from my Cabin doorstep. With lots of lotus.

This was taken right from our doorstep. After a hard days work, i was sitting at those lil steps of our cabin, wish the kids came along but because they had school, I couldnt take them with me. I bet they would enjoy every moment spent there at cherating

On the way back from duty, saw all these kambing. I got excited and decided to snap their picture. Really wish one day, I can have this simple life. Its so peaceful.

To The Shining Star Of My Heart QEL..

This song is specially dedicated to someone very very special to me..the apple of my eyes, Qel. With lots and lots of love...

Before you Qel, my life was like a moonless nite. Very dark but there stars-points of light and reason. And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire, there was brilliancy. "I looked up to see him smiling a crooked smile so beautiful that i could only stare at him like an idiot".
I was prepared to feel.... relieved. Having you know about everything, not needing to keep secrets from you. BUt I didnt expect to feel more than that. i like it. It makes me....HAPPY.
"I am glad", I said. I'd worried that he might regret telling me these things he told me. It was good knowing that wasn't the case.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay beforeyou and how fabulous you really looked….You're not as fat as you.Imagine.
Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing Bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you.
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts, don't put up with people who are reckless with yours. Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind…the race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.Stretch!!Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life…the most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't.Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't, maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't, maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's. Enjoy your body, use it every way you can…don't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it's the greatest instrument you'll ever
own...
Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions, even if you don't follow them. Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. Brother and sister together we'll make it through.Someday your spirit will take you and guide you there. Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out. Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

Papadom

I don't normally watch Malay movie but with the recommendation from my eldest brother, I decided to take the kids to watch PAPADOM at the GSC Summit. I must say, it's a thumbs up. And besides the actor happen to be my favourite, Afdlin Shauki. Always like his acting. The kids wanted to watch G-Force but I made a deal with them. I will buy G-Force DVD(pirated copy) which they can watch again and again (especially Sarah) provided they watched PAPADOM with me. And the kids agreed.
After the movie, stopped at Focus Point to make me a a new glasses(getting old that i need a reading glasses now). Recently I notice that i have difficulty with my reading. The sales assistant kept telling me I am too young to have a reading glasses. Until I insisted they checked my eyes and told them that I am not actually young. I am 40. Hehehehe they thought that I am 28...hmmm...must be the tomato juice. After checking my eyes, she told me that I do actually need reading glasses.
Checked my tagged and my emails. Got a couple of emails from my Pete. He sent me my favourite pictures. Pictures of him and his mom. I just love looking at his mom's photo. I bet if my mom is still alive, she would look like Pete's mom...God I wish I still have mama.
