... and Yet Another Big One

In the mood for safety and security

A great earthquake occurred at 16:09:37 (UTC) on Monday, March 28, 2005. The magnitude 8.2 event has been located in NORTHERN SUMATRA, INDONESIA. (This event has been reviewed by a seismologist.)
adek aku tepon dalam kol 1230 tadik. ingatkan dia nak ingatkan ari ni besdey dia. maklom la aku tak call. sekali dia tanye, ade terasa gegar dak. aku cakap la dak. pastu aku tanye dia balik, bangunan dia je ke terasa gegar? (dia kat upm) dia cakap bangunan lain pun terasa gak. aku pun dah horror. terus duk depan pc, nengok sape yg ade kat yahu. yg ade cuma nuar, my kembau, and beberapa orang lain yg online ikut mobile phone. aku pon meseh la kembau. dia cakap aku orang kedua tanye mende yg sama kat dia, pastu dia cakap kat tpt dia (jb) tak terasa. syukurrr... tapi kl n shah alam terasa la pulak. hmm hmm hmm. sure cyberjaya pun terasa nih. pastu syib plak onlien. dia cakap kat merbuk (kedah) terasa kuat. tsk tsk. pastu nuar pun cakap, rupenye ade EQ berskala 8.2 richter berhampiran medan, 535 km (330 miles) WSW of KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia. medan??? oh, rupenye sebelah barat mengadap lautan hindi (iye ke? tu nama melayu indian ocean ke?). sebab medan bukan betul2 kat line plat bumi, yg tu aku yakin betul. tapi 8.2 skala richter tu kuat gak. tapi tak de la sekuat 9.0 kat banda aceh. pada firasat aku, tsunami pasti ade kat area2 hari tu gak, tapi tak de la sekuat dulu. sebabnye banda aceh tu kat bucu indo, yg kali ni tengah2 sumatera sket. syukur. kalau jadi kat area banda aceh lagi, aku tatau la nak komen ape.

one thing crossed my mind. lagi sekali bencana alam dekat2 perayaan orang kafir nih. ari tu lepas xmas, ni pulak masa easter (kalau ikut local time tempat kejadian). ngape yek? jadi lepas ni para missionaries agama kafir ni tak payah la buang masa nak menyeru "ke arah kesejahteraan sejagat". dah nampak jelas kekuasaan Allah Taala kat kawasan bencana tu, baik hangpa guna duit tu untuk membantu orang yg betul2 memerlukan kat tempat sendiri. takde pekdah kalau anak di rumah mati tak makan. btoi dak?

Hari Ini Saya Cuti.

Winamp playin' Ee Boo Nee Kka by Shinnago

Hari ini saya cuti. Saya suka bila cuti sebab saya boleh tido sasuke hati. Saya juga boleh pegi tengok wayang sasuke hati sebab tak ramai orang tengok wayang pada hari saya cuti. Saya juga boleh layan vcd macam orang gilak sasuke hati. Saya juga boleh melalak dan berjoget sasuke hati di rumah kerana tiada orang di rumah selain saya pada hari saya cuti. Saya cuti kerana orang di UK pun cuti. Saya cuti ikut cuti orang UK. HarHarHar.

Walaupun hari ini saya cuti, saya akan ke PCFair pada hari yang ramai orang, iaitu hari terakhir. Kalau saya tak pergi PCFair pun, saya pergi jalan2 buang masa. Tapi daripada jalan2 buang masa, baik saya habihkan letrik di rumah dengan menonton vcd yang sudah lama di beli tetapi belom ditonton. Kerana pada pendapatan saya, kalau nak beli mp3 player untuk adek saya yang tersesat di Mersing sana, PCFair akan datang ni pon boleh beli. Lagi pon dia sudah ade pemain keset bergerak, cukup la tu.

Hari esok ibu dan ayah saya akan ke luar stesyen. Maka secara rasminya saya boleh berhibernasi sasuke hati, alang2 tengah bejot ni. Dengan berhibernasi, maka saya pun boleh menjimatkan tenaga letrik. Tapi saya tidak boleh tidak di atas talian langsung dalam satu hari. Jadi perancangan untuk menjimatkan tenaga letrik perlu dikaji semula. Lagipun pada malam esok, Sabtu 26 Mac, akan ditayangkan ceritera Star Wars Episode I di salah satu saluran televisyen percuma. Jadi perancangan untuk berhibernasi juga perlu dikaji semula.

Itu saja kisah percutian saya pada hujung minggu ini. Terima kasih kerana membaca.

World Water Day!

In the mood for....

22 March - World Day for Water 2005: Water for Life

About World Day for Water

The United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/47/193 of 22 December 1992 by which 22 March of each year was declared World Day for Water, to be observed starting in 1993, in conformity with the recommendations of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) contained in Chapter 18 (Fresh Water Resources) of Agenda 21. States were invited to devote the Day, as appropriate in the national context, to concrete activities such as the promotion of public awareness through the publication and diffusion of documentaries and the organization of conferences, round tables, seminars and expositions related to the conservation and development of water resources and the implementation of the recommendations of Agenda 21.

Water and Sanitation (taken from this site)

Clean water is the basic liquid of life. However, over one billion people worldwide have no access to safe drinking water, and almost half the world's population lack adequate sanitation.

This affects their health, their environment, their basic dignity and their children's future. For some countries the problem is scarcity of water, while in others water may be plentiful but of poor quality.

Health
Around 80% of all sickness and disease in the world is caused by inadequate water or sanitation, according to the World Health Organisation. Water-related diseases account for 2.2 million deaths each year, mostly among children under the age of five.

Poverty
Inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene not only cause sickness and death, but also increase health costs, reduce people's ability to earn a living, and reduce school enrolment rates, especially for girls. Shortages in water can lead to harvest failures and even famine. All these factors combine together to contribute to the continuing cycle of poverty in developing countries.

Women and Children
The poorest and most vulnerable people are worst affected by this problem. In most societies women and children bear the responsibility for fetching water for the family a time-consuming, and physically demanding duty. Women in Africa and Asia, on average, have to walk 6km a day just to get water.

Paradoks

Winamp playin' Oriental Express by As One

sape bohong kat aku nih, cakap rose (the trax) ni pompuan?

baru lepas nengok mv the trax - paradox. tu lelaki la bodo! nama je rose. alah, macam melayu gak, nama roslan lah, rosman lah, rosyam lah. nama pendek kadang2 jadik rose. ye tak gitu?

ni nak ngomen la pasal nama grup pulak. typhoon of the rose attack on x-mas. ape ke nama tu? horror siot nama grup. apsal la orang korea ni nak buat nama grup selalu tak lojik? macam HOT (Hgh-five Of Teenagers), finKL (fin Killing Liberty) ngan babyVOX (baby Voice Of eXpression). nanda korewa? ok, bV tu buleh terima, tapi yg lain lawak gilos. tapi nama paling beh (seriously) bagi aku: GOD (Groove OverDosed). tabik tabik :D

Local Band Goes International

Winamp playin' Riraito by AKFG

seperti hari2 ahad yang sebelom2 ni, aku mesti takleh miss baca paper Sunday Mail. pastu, dalam banyak2 article tu, paling aku tak leh miss (apart from the cartoon section and 'watch-amacallit') - the writings by rina omar. yup, that same 8tv host. harharhar boleh la kalau nak cakap aku ni a fan of her writings, sebelom dia keje kat 8tv.

and so, hari ni dalam her column 'I say...' dia tulih pasal a local band jadik glemer gila babas kat jepon. oh.. grup pop shuvit ni rupenye. harharhar. aku takde la kenal sangat grup ni, mainly because most of the songs does not suit my taste of music (haa jap jap.. akfg ngan orange range lain aaaa dari diorang ni) and secondly because diorang nyanyi omputes je (daku kurang minat lagu berlirik omputes sebab senang nak hapal -> senang bosan). tapi daku terasa bes giloo pulak diorang ni bila jadik glemer macam tu skali. bak kata rina dalam column dia (aku curik sebijik2 ni ayat dia):
"The band that will change the world" - Those words screamed from an album release poster in a Tower Records store in Tokyo, Japan.

This band in hot - so hot, that it out-ran Linkin Park in the store's sales chart.

People were recognizing the band members on the streets; the band's showcases were packed with fans - heck, their stage needs were attended to by the Glay's (that's a BIG Jap rock band) own sound crew.
uhhh... tak ke terasa bes? bangga aku jadiknye bila ada malaysian glemer gilo babas macam tu sekali. walaupon aku tak ikut muzik diorang, tak bermakna aku tak beri sokongan kan? tapi aku ni takde la macam, dah tau diorang glemer haram camtu baru nak jadik fan. harharhar.

uhh ape lagi nak cakap ah.. dah lupa plak. pepehal, syabas and all the very best to pop shuvit for going international :D

..Let's Get Back To Reality.

Winamp playin' Crazy In Love by Beyonce ft Jay-Z

sudah lama tidak memblog secara serius. ye lah, sejak kebelakangan ni asek terapung di awangan je muhahaha :P takpe takpe aku punye fling sudah abih, so takde la nanti berlebih2 pulak cerita pasal oujisama ngan antonio. sikit2 ade la kot. harharhar remind me of this whenever i cross the borderline ok! :D

bukan la tanak menaip secara serius (as in blog pasal mende lojik sikit dari asek2 citer pasal fling aku je)... dah banyak kali dah menaip half-way, tapi lepas tu malas pulak nak publish. jadiknye takde la update yg "serius" (huh selama ni ade ke pun aku serius kan harharhar :P) dah tu pulak sejak jadi haiwan nocturnal nih, takde banyak mende yg menarik untuk dicerita melainkan keadaan dan perasaan di opisku yang beroperasi 24 jam tuh.

hah. since keadaan pc dan strimik ku dah hampir pulih (dalam 85% la ni lebih kurang), nanti kejap2 lagi aku tuka la lagu2 dalam soundblox tu. bukannye buleh denga pun lagi kat opis; takde masa weh.

oh ye. daku sekalang ni tengah berusaha untuk membuat satu vcd dance2 kpop nih... jadi aku nak mintak bantuan kengkorang ni (yg paham bm ni la) kot la ade terjumpa dance lesson lagu2 boa (quincy) ngan bi (it's raining), hulor le kat daku yang mencarik ni di alamat deathberry[at]gmail.com. setakat ni ade lagu shinhwa yg lama2 ngan beberapa lagu lain yg tersesat (mostly boa). harharhar kalu dah komplete beh la nanti menari macam orang gilo harharhar :P nak pinjam? buleh aje. tapi pop song aje tau. kire mtv stlye punye dance. adek aku tau lagu2 camne. bukan tango ke waltz ke. hihihi :D

hah ni nak citer la nape tetibe gatal nak buat vcd blaja nari ni. sebenanye 3 minggu lalu team aku terpilih untuk buat performance pada jumaat yang baru lepas ni. nak dipendekkan cerita, diorang (colleages aku) decide nak menari. aku ni malas la nak tunjukkan skill nari aku (yang macam tahi tu). tapi lepas hari berganti hari, aku rase tak pueh hati sangat. asalnye nak buat 4 lagu, pastu jadik 3, pastu las las masa hari sebelom perf tu dia jadikkan satu je. arghhh! konon sebabnye ramai tak reti nari lagu yang AM aku pilih (yg mana aku reti la nak kasi steps untuk 2 lagu yang disajes tu). baaakaaaaa. huh. takpe lah. dah lepas dah pon. tapi atas sebab itu maka hari rabu lepas daku dapat idea nak buat vcd tu. enuff of that.

sebelom aku tutup tirai, saje nak luahkan rasa tak pueh hati. antonio (henceforth ku panggil uncle) buat aku mentally tortured! grr grr grr.
