MUJO

(gambar tiada kene mengena dgn yg idup.. ataupon yg telah mati.. cuma hiasan dunia semata mata.... "mujo" ada gok gambo2 lebih dalam simpanan aku..)

HELLO HELLO HELLO....


Today's topic is about one word from Terengganu.. that is "MUJO" and the correct pronounciation for it is "Muw" +"Jow".. (Hope u get it...!!)

I read this somewhere.. So.. just to share with you guys.. For those who is not from Terengganu, u can ask for details xplaination from me later.. For.. now.. Enjoy readings..

Mujo or mujur in Standard Bahasa means "fortunate" or "lucky". InTerengganu it means more than that. Mujo is an attitude, a testament to the optimism of the Terengganu folks. I believe that Terengganunese are optimistic. I haven't heard of any suicides there yet. No newswhatsoever of people jumping down from coconut trees or drinking expired budu (preserved anchovy thick sauce) neat in order to expire themselves. You must remember that Terengganu people lived with ferries, morningpapers that came in the night and other things people in the West Coast take for granted. In spite of doing without 4D shops, discos, malls or Hot Spot-enabled coffee houses, they are surviving well without any mental hospital in sight. All because they have mujo.

Like I mentioned previously, mujo encapsulate a philosophy in itself. It means one should thank God that it is not worse. Time for an illustration.

(Cut to a scene of 3 village ladies in their kemban washing clothes by the village well)

Mok Long Selamoh: Guane doh adik mung Mek?
(How is your brother Mek?)

Mok Teh Som : Bakpe pulok adik die?
(What happened to her brother?)

Mok Long Selamoh: Laaa! Mung dok tau ke Som?
(You don't know Som?)

Mok Teh Som : Dok tau setarang kite.
(I don't know anything)

Mok Long Selamoh: Adik Mek ni kene langgor loghi kemareng.
(Mek's brother was knocked down by a lorry yesterday)

Mek Beso : Bukang loghi Mok Long, beng ikang!
(It wasn't a lorry Mok Long, it was a fish van)

Mok Long Selamoh : Mujo bukang lori!
(Lucky it wasn't a lorry)

Mok Teh Som : Pah tu? Teghok ke?
(Then? Was he seriously injured?)

Mek Beso : Kaki patoh sebeloh......
(One leg was broken)

Mok Teh Som : Mujo dok patoh due due
(Lucky both legs weren't broken)

Mok Long Selamoh: Tu pong mujo dreba beng dang bghek.
(It was lucky that the van driver braked in time)

Mek Beso : Mujo beng tu dok laju..
(Lucky the van wasn't going fast..)

(Fade to black)
If both legs were broken, the response would be "Mujo dok pecoh pale"
(Lucky the head wasn't cracked).

If the head WAS cracked, the response would be "Mujo dok mapuh"
(Lucky he didn't die).

If the worst happened and the brother died, the mujo would still surface. "Mujo lah bukang adik kite"
(Lucky it wasn't my brother).

You get the drift.....??? Mujo. A nice word. Adopt it. Embrace it. It will preserve your sanity...

Bangga Mengaku Orang Terengganu



** an article from UTUSAN MALAYSIA as at 24 March 2006..

The above article is taken from one of the national newspaper today.. Based on that newspaper cutting, it's clearly shows that people from Terengganu now can proudly declared themselves as local Terengganu ppl.. can’t they? This topic is somewhat exciting to talk about, which I am glad to elaborate shortly after this. Before I get the ball rolling, there is an interesting question I would like to ask.. Is that true?? Sejauh mana kebenaran nyer.. Kita bersama saya.. ulasan ala ala Karam Singh Walia mengupas kebenaran di sebalik pernyataan ini... Bak kata Pepatah... "Macam Ayam Masuk Kampung, Tercabut Bulu, Riuh Sekampung!!" Please stay tuned... Got to go for breakfast... Berdaroh Pusat Nih!! Lapor kluk klakk..(ayat fathi)!! Oh ya.. by the way.. Gaji masuk doh..!! Huhuuhu.. ciao...

BRRPP…. Kenyang..!! Uhh… Potong stim betul.. Tak larat nak buat keje dah… haha.. Sambung blogging aa.. Okeh.. back to our newspaper cutting mentioned above.. As for me.. as one of the guy from the state mentioned, the above facts are quite unacceptable.. I'm sure there is a purpose for me to be a Terengganuan (suke suke hati tambah ‘an’ kat blakang) and I ought to be proud to be one of the terengganu guys. Another question knocking up my head.. “Knape baru skrg bleh bangga mengaku org Terengganu..” Sblm nie malu ker?? Uh… Its almost 8 years since I left my hometown.. Moved to KL after took my SPM and continued my studies here in KL … it was 1998.. and that time.. I admit it.. Terengganu wasn’t that highly developed and refined! But dat day.. I still introduced myself as Terengganuans.. a kampong boy.. from a place where ppl go to see the turtles lay their eggs.. Where keropok lekor is one of the extraordinary traditional foods.. a place where they called
“TERENGGANU DARUL IMAN.”

Today, 2006… Terengganu is significantly changed..! lots of development and upgrading at all places… here and there..and moving at a fast pace.. (not to mention, the chicks are also have been upgraded .. u can see hot chicks and babes here.. there and everywhere.. and the chicks chicks here.. chicks chicks there.. here chicks .. there chicks.. everywhere chicks .. chicks…!! O Terengganu had a chick.. E I.. E I.. Oooooo!!!)

Now, terengganu can stand on their own feet... side by side, standing with the other states.. without feeling humble and poor! Everyone now is looking at our improvement.. We r not that bad for everybody to overlook at us.. Closing their eyes to us is definitely incorrect and as terengganuans, I don’t mind what ppl think of my lovely state.. as long as it remains a peace place to live.. with the loving and harmony people over there.. where my family could enjoy their life and live happily ever after.. Someday, I’ll be back to settle everything down in TERENGGANU… perhaps.. amin..

M A S and A I R A S I A







M.A.S or Air Asia..



m u a g a h a h a h a h a h a h . . . .

Sebenarnya, tetiba jer aku rasa nak tulis pasal this two airlines company ni.. Tak tau nape.. mungkin sebab surrounding aku kot... tetiba jer aku macam didedahkan dengan mcm² benda.. makhluk ataupon ratu² dari 2 company nie .. tetiba jer idup ini rasa mcm happening semacam.. rasa cam "pening" pon ada gak.. entah laa.. i am not sure..


Tapi..
yg peliknya...
tetiba semangat nak bercuti nie datang.. Even kitorang baru balik dr bercuti kat siam pon.. trasa lg.. gua rasa mmg kene pergi bercuti ke mana mana lagi lah.. geli² laa.. yg murah2 jadi laa.. yg mahal.. takde duit laa bai.. alang2 dah ada passport nie.. ku cekalkan hati.. blasah laa mana pon.. but it depends on Ery.. ouR last trip team leader. R we going to make it again?? Another trip for the CheapsRoom’s GUYS.. and Rikardo CARVALHO as well.. Anywhere can go broo..!! kalo bleh yg ada promotion aa.. murah skit.. kitorang menunggu mu Ery…

The other reason is bcoz of my last weekend activities.. What I did was.. err.. err.. arghh.. takpe lahh.. takyah bgtau aa.. ppl dat close to me surely would know what i am thinking of.. what I am trying to say is.. I did.. ermm.. No.. actually WE did… huhh.. takyah citer ahh.. OK OK.. forget about it.. we are not going to discuss anything on that topic.. as for today’s topic we are focussing on 2 our local airlines companies.. the first one is Malaysia Airlines.. and the other is Air Asia…

Where to start uh??
From the survey and observation had been done, huhu... i have compiled something here.. cam sial.. siap buat summary.. seriously, i think.. Both companies got really good employees.. with their polite staff.. the well-mannered and gracious workforce.. ppl (consumer and passenger) would enjoy being in the plane.. being treated by all the beautiful stewardess.. (bleh di gunapakai utk lelaki sajer.. utk pompuan tak tau aaa) as for me.. i think i agree..!!


OK let me intro a lil bit on MAS.. The company is officially called: Malaysia Airlines System, but everyone says MAS. It’s the Southeast Asia's largest airline, and one of the world's premier international carriers.

(this facts are taken from a book i've read here in office..)
- Malaysia Airlines began in 1947 as Malayan Airways.
- Renamed to Malaysian Airways in 1963.
- Renamed to Malaysia-Singapore Airlines (MSA) in 1966.
- Ceased operation, MSA saperated into 2
Malaysian Airline System (MAS) and
Singapore Airlines in 1972.

Relax yok.. jgn cuak..
camana aku dapat buku pasal sejarah MAS nie.. actually.. ada org bagi aku.. org tu.. takleh bgtau aa sape.. HUHU.. (kasik cuak serampang 2 mata!!)

Okeh.. for Air asia..
Some facts on the Air Asia (the other airlines company).. Air Asia is the second largest airline in Malaysia. It doesn't have so much planes as Malaysia Airlines has, but it's very aggressive with its fares! And that is what we like, as consumers. (gi Phuket pon bleh free tickets.. sapa tak suke bai..) They fly all over Malaysia.. termasuklah Sabah and Sarawak on Borneo. Even some of the flight can bring us out from this domestic area. The international flight for Air Asia offered us cheaper ticket rate rather than what MAS offered.. (Apa lagi ery.... book laa mana mana ticket.. bangkok ker.. bali ker.. tp melbourne takder lg kot.... takleh lg laa tgk commonwealth games..) It departs just like all the other airlines, from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA)

penutup

Takleh nak explain more on Air Asia.. sebab bile Dalam Hati Ada Cinta… susah mau crita… akhir kata dari ku.. afundi MAS..! sebab hari hari minggu ku dihiburkan oleh mereka… few of the girls that can turn your world upside down and leave you sleepless for few days!! trust me fwenn..
my credit goes to Peter Cech wannabe… Bro I cant imagine.. those naughty daughters in the stewardess's uniform, with the highlighted hair some more.. yg rebonding (pakai jari pon boleh) .. yg berambut pendek (susah nak carik yg mcm ni.. cam adik adik gitewww).. dgn side skirt mivec (skirt pendek) .. intercooler VR4 dan spoiler mivec (matnor mesti paham).. instead of sluar panjang yg biasa stewardess² JUASEH jer pakai.. apa barang beb.. really cannot imagine.. Uh.. for me.. Somehow they look a bit unflappable.. though they are maintaining their kinkiness.. I think so..

Dahlaah!! enuff for d day..
ahahaha.. bukan berat sebelah.. or bukan tak suke kat Air Asia.. tp .. sebab kagum and culture shocked gitewww .. last but not least.. MAS mmg best..


Sekian dan terima kasih.. Peace..

Hi guys..

Last tuesday.. me.. sahak.. ery and "awang kenit" ery.. (sori mas! hehe)

Attached is the picture been taken of the receipt to prove the saying..!! walaupon harga dia tak laa mahal sgt... kalo korang pandai kire.. the total price written there is not the correct answer for the calculation... is it?? there are a few reasons why the KULAS got the wrong answer..

i. mmg nak markup
ii. masa kecik2 dulu.. failed math!
iii. Copy kawan punyer assignment calculus masa University dulu
iv. Dekat New Delhi takde subject "Add Math"
v. mmg bodoh.. tak reti mengira..

Hence, after this.. make sure u bring along ur calculator and do the sum up urself before paying!!

Slamat Mlm di mana jua anda berada..

Sedikit basic formula utk KULAS tu.. in case dia baca blog aku..!!

RM 1.50

DST Phuket Trip

A s s a l a m u a l a i k u m n s a l a m s e j a h t e r a . . !

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

Its almost 2 weeks.. I’m back in Malaysia.. Land of peace and harmony... after coming back from Phuket.. my first ever overseas trip.. (walau pon tak across mana mana laut pon kan?? haha) I’ve started my work … At first.. Its quite difficult to give my 100% commitment to office works.. However, slowly.. i managed to handle my mood and getting back to my normal my efficiency and effectiveness.. haha.. bahasa T7!! The engine was quite cold at the beginning.. Thus, it took me a few days to to warm it up so that it can move fast and running like before.. Everything is here already.. all the overload jobs and tasks need to be finished.. No More Patong.. No more money.. No More Honey.. (NO MONEY NO HONEY) *Patong Theme!!*

Syukur alhamdulillah mood keje tu masih ada.. Even, the engine is running faster than before.. the determination is different.. Better than ezra.... I think so..! Haha.. perasan plak.. After 4 days being tuned-up by the Siamese Mechanic, the condition of the engine is quite fluctuated and not stable.. Sometimes it goes ‘glowing positively‘. But sometimes the other way around.. I am not sure..!! what is wrong with me.. dah kene mandremm kot.. or smgt bercuti tu ada lagi.. ataupon.. The mind enlightens the body for more vacation trip .. hahha.. I hope so.. but the problem now is MONEY..!! takdak duit.. huhu.. sdih.. about the mechanic matters, pls don’t misinterpret! *OFF RECORD!! * (it depends on individual interpretation and perception!) tp percayalah.. aku masih suci..!! **matilaa.. sapa sapa yg tak suci**

OK sambung citer…

Ok..

Lets talk about the trip..… First of all..

Pre Phuket Party..!!

One night before the journey started.. I went back home quite late. It was about 2.00 am in the morning.. During the time at the Passion, time flew damn fast.. We were celebrating a birthday party of an old friend of mine.. Happy belated birthday to you BRO!! The party was so splendid and great! Its almost 3 am.. and I didn’t pack up anything yet for tomorrow’s trip… It took me more than one hour to pack all those stuffs.. Sedar tak sedar.. dah dekat kol 5.. We’ll be leaving from Pantai Hillpark latest by 8 am.. Lynn was the one providing us with the transportation to KLIA .. I got 2 hrs to sleep… ZZzzz..

The next morning.. The other team was on time.. they reached the airport before us.. Din, Pokyok, Komeng and Sahak was the lineup for that team.. As for my team.. damn.. aku terbabas.. Overslept..!! nasib baik pokyok kejut .. dan nasib baik gak.. Lynn bangun lambat.. Sempat aku bersiap.., I prepared myself as fast as I could and gave our trip leader, Ery a call so that everyone can get ready.. Lynn picked us up in front of Phase 5 after half an hour of waiting.. Ayu brought us for breakfast first.. We went to Devi’s Corner in Bangsar.. (Giler detail citer aku..) Tp sebab Bfast nie lah.. kitorang lambat.. The 1.0 Perodua Myvi yg agak slow.. Even our Mitsubishi Evolution 4 driver, Mr Fazlynn Khamis couldn’t reach the airport on time.. 4 ppl plus our backpack.. mmg agak berat laa utk kereta 1 liter nak bawak laju2 kan..??? Luckily we reached the airport before the boarding time close.. uhh.. sib baik sempat..!! Kalo tak… Tak ber “Phuket” mana laa kite..

Went to buy some Duty Free’s Cigars before leaving.. In the plane, all eyes were focusing to the one and only stewardess in the plane.. Miss Faridah.. She was the only Air Asia girl, together with us in that flight mesti korang pelik kan..?? siap hafal nama.. Jgn pelik laa.. tgk name tag jer… dah tulis kat situ besar2.. “FARIDAH” **terbahak2 laa minah tu skrg**

The journey took 1 hrs and 15 minutes and I rest myself by taking a nap.. (I don’t know “one hour sleep” also can be referred as “nap”.. Muahaha)

Landed at Phuket Airport, Thailand.. 01032006.. 12.15 waktu siam..!! 115 waktu Malaysia.. Sejarah bermula… dot.. dot.. dot…

And that is all for now.. What?/ Come again?? all activities in phuket..?? its all have been told by Mr Averonz in his blog.. Its quite a redundant job if I put the stories here too. So please refer to Pokyok’s Link on the side bar of this MessageBORED.. Enjoy reading..!!

This is all about fascinating Phuket and to precise, PATONG beach..!!

Astalavista BROs!

Kap Kum Kapp..

(in Kg Pasir Panjang, they called Terima Kasih)!!
