Litturu Tokyo desu....

note:this is a loooooot of writing. baca sket2 satu hari satu segment cukup la. tak yah la redah sumer.


Well... it was a week of mixed feelings, from slight pressure, to being all oblivious not giving a care in the world, to happy, to sadness and now back to static boredom and about to go oblivious all over again.

work sucks... like usual. I seriously think there's so much more meant for me than what i'm currently doing. The past two three weeks, when i went to training, i see how some people are quite enthusiastic in sharing their personal experience in the training relating to the job I'm doing, but all i can see in their faces are blaas, and yadaaas, and i think they're just a bunch of phonies that deserves a drop kick from me. actually, they dont deserve a drop kick from me. its just that, you know, you're at that point thinking, why in the rush of us being audited (we're gonna be audited by SIRIM btw for our ISO renewal BS), I'm not feeling one drop of panic but i'm doing my job, really, what was told to do, I've mostly am 3 - 4 steps advance than they could. not because I'm passionate, or enthusiastic, just that, I hate last minutes, i hate BS from top mgmt, i hate dealing with my work which involves with a LOT... A LOT of legal BS. no numbers, no technicality, none whatsoever from the thing that I've learned 5 years ago.

I've started to accept the fact that... life's a bitch few months ago. and I really feel that being a bitch back to it is the best way initially. but, it turns out... life's much more stronger that a person is. all i can say is... i wish for something different for generations after me. i wish them to have a better clarity, better view, better understanding of the future, and what they might be doing or handling in the future, and tell them... 'when you actually get what you wish for, you'd probably get much more than you can handle'.

Talk about patriotic....

Talk about patriotisme in Malaysia and all. on our merdeka nite, i was sitting on the couch with my friends watching silent hill, and paused it for 2 minutes just to wait for everyone to shout merdeka and sing the national anthem, WHICH, btw, we just flipped the channel 2 quarters of the song and continued with Silent Hill the movie.

what happened along the way for malaysians? of course, yes, given a code red situation, i'd say everyone would connect just like that and do anything they can for the country regardless race, political preference and religion. but rite now, everyone is very complacent, and not seeing, appreciating how far malaysia have grown. sadly, honestly, i'm probably one of them. yes, malaysia came up with the tallest building in the world once, and trying to break world records by records (some of them i'm sorry to say, are very unnecessary and would only put malaysia on the wall of the freaks), having a multi large corporation that has saved malaysia's business so many times and actually IS generating like 3/4 of Malaysia's revenue. But still, I'm seeing stuff in a different picture. why? why? why? I'm not an anti government guy (to my friends who are in the opposing party, sorry, but frankly, i dont actually give a fuck about politics), but i just cant accept the fact that Malaysians can actually be much better, but they're all just really too comfortable, too stable, too complacent. either that... my work has actually gotten to my head and im not actually having any passion at all to be anything close to patriotic. i seriously hope, that i was never bonded, and i could go do something else after i graduated from uni. something... different... something... ME. it's just not rite.... this sucks.

Talk about marriage plans....

okay... i'm not planning to get married. seriously. so what im about to say doesnt reflect me making any plans to get married in the very near future. but, since between the age of 24 - 27 is probably the season of where my friends are getting married, suddenly, out of randomness, i wanted to know how can they actually afford getting married?? so i went around an electronics store, and i calculated, for basic electrical appliances (TV, fridge, stove, washing machine, kitchen appliances), it would be around RM 13K. okay. let me put it more nicely....

Basic electrical appliances: RM 13,000
Bed room Set : RM 6,000
Living room set (furniture): RM 7,000
Kitchen Set : RM 3,000

so that totals up to RM 29,000 rite? yeaps... you could probably afford it. WAIT. That's just the stuff for marriage. you have to include the Wedding Day (or DAYS depending on your preference), AND the Hantaran.

So, that's like RM 40,000 for a hotel reception, for the wedding day... rite? i think? or am i underestimating? then there's RM 20,000 for the hantaran. seriously, i NEED to know, to ladies out there, what is the 'just nice' range for a wedding ring? if i got married to ferr she said she'd go for RM 5 - 7 K. is that habib? T&C? cartier? i'll try hard ferr, but for the time being, u have to settle for my handsome looks :P. if i got married to Sza2, she said RM 2 - 3 K. if i got married to atiee, she's a biiit difficult, she has to ask around she said. what if she asked anak sultan? mati weyyy matiiiiii. :P missin all the girls confidants i have. im seeing varieties here. so please, ladies, men, feedback please.

SO, basically... that totals up to RM 89,000. Let's say la ada other stuff, like special wedding potrets, aaaaaalll that blaaas. so let's just mark up the price to RM 100,000. SO, i wonder, how the hell can some people afford getting married at an early age?? unless

1. dah kumpul duit since 15 tahun... mmg baik punya planning
2. Keje kat US/UK. damn it... u guys are verrrry luckky.
3. their dad's are a colombian drug dealer. My dad is, so yes, i'll be getting married tomorrow.
4. they're a freakin trust fund babies

So... how can ppl get married early? HOW??? please, tell me, did i overestimate? nih tak masuk beli rumah and all that shaits lagik. kawin nak amik loan... just seems so wrong... and scary. burning all that cash for one whole day. for those who are already married, congrats... for those about to, please tell me.

WARNING: I AM NOT GETTING MARRIED ANYTIME SOON!! i can never afford getting married early, plus... damn im enjoying 'single' status life now. 'single' as in isi borang tanya kawin atau bujang, ko isi single. gf mmg ada la. so anyway... yes... i have no plans getting married. target... 30yrs old... i panic. 33 yrs old, i'll just tadah with what i have... i think. sooooo getting married early... NOT FOR ME.

Talk about sabah....

well... went back to KK to actually celebrate my dad's 50th bday. it's been a while since i went home, and when i left for bintulu today, i was actually really sad. i havent had that family time for a while. yesterday played scrabble with the family, which, btw, i just found out En Mahmud aka my dad is damn good at it, and uses psychoanalysis stuff to actually throw you off from the game. dirty trick for an old man. hehehehe.

the second day i was there... i did something i really missed during my unemployed days in kk. i went joggin barefooted on KK's sandy beach. damn i miss it. i went to ganu... but still... it cant top kk. i dont know why. maybe because it's home? but i think seriously... KK has much more view to offer. i love kk so much.

had dinner at this one nice place for his bday (my treat btw!) with the whole family. seriously... KK is getting more awesome everyday!! Sorry mcgiffs but i really am starting to think to settle down in KK. with occasional visits to KL though. heheh. the restaurants are getting classier, and yes... its nice. didnt have any pressies for dad, but had a nice dinner (my treat again btw!) and laughter and all. damn i miss family time.

went to centerpoint, kk shopping mall, and damn it... i bought something unnecessary. i seriously think im suffering a quarter-life crisis. i wanna buy stuff that i couldnt afford or never had as a kid or a teenager. i just bought a freakin adidas sweater that's very costly. not gonna tell u how much. but DAMN.... big regret. but when i wear it, i just try to forget it, because... the sweater IIIIIS nice!! but damn it... mahal giler... shit... must wear it now. plus... need to buy a lot of pressies this month. byk sangat bday orang in one go. my dad + anyet, my sweetheart lili's, and mom's. damn shudnt have bought that sweater. tapi cantiiiiik weyyyy. plus i havent shopped for unnecessary stuff for myself for a looooooooooong while. last time i did that was damn... i cant remember. march? i think? damn that's long.

then late nites, hung out with my KK entourage, which was fun, hilarious, as always. and again... the clubs are awesome, and dear god... the ladies... THE LADIES... i see much more hotter girls in KK these days than in KL!! maybe because i only went out to the wrong places in KL. but yes, KL, after office hours and lunch time.. is THE time to check them out. but... KK... damn... i say DAAAANG!! but yes... im in love with my gf. she's from KK too.

well... hopefully i get to go to KL again this weekend. seriously. pleaaaase la. wanna go wall climbing so much.

BTW... pizha... HAPPY BUNCIT BDAY!! (she has the same bday has my dad too.)

that's a LOOOOOT of writing. enjoy the pics.

Peng! God this entry made me laugh so hard. You are so funny! But then again, I'm taking a break from studying, so I think anything other than this stuff i'm learning can make me laugh.

Anyway:
First of all, good job parading how much i'd like for a wedding ring. Now everyone knows how ..... i am. Depending how they see it. Btw, I said RM ke? I ingatkan pounds. :P

Two. I must say whoever ends up marrying u is one lucky girl peng. But I hope you don't work ur ass off each day thinking that it is all going to be for a wedding/marriage. While u're putting some aside for the big day/next chapter of your life, hope u've got some set aside for ur fast cars, la-z boys, some crazy techy gadget or whatever u've always dreamt of having. Coz i know u work so hard, so U deserve a piece of that too. While u can, bask in ur own success.

Well, at least thats what i think.

Three. That's one hot restaurant.

Four. Bukan mainn lagi jacket baru dia.

Five. Miss u la!!

found ur blog by chance , interesting subject
my thoughts -
1.on electrical goods - beli non branded or if ur planning to get married two years from now ,start beli one branded stuff every quarter ..ramai budak kerteh pakai system nieh ie qtr 1- beli tv 29",qtr 2- beli washing mesin,qtr 3etc..
2.on cincin kawin/engagement - kawtim ngan belah pompuan cincin engagement = cincin kawin ie beli 1 cincin jer,invest in RM2-3K punya 'rock' beli time sale 70% habib jewel - coming up this september or october check it out for budgetting purposes.
3.on majlis kawin - kalau sesak sangat , buat majlis umah pompuan jer atau trend baru skang nikah dulu majlis kemudian 3-4 bulan kemudian selepas bonus. majlis paling budget = RM 10K/rumah
4.on getting better income - start aiming for PPA 1 or PPA 2 , PPA 2 for E1 grade = ~ RM 10K. Top it up with your average 5 month bonus you get roughly RM 22.5K (before tax) or kawin lepas abis bond ngan company after getting a job at Saudi Aramco/qatar petroleum (~ RM25-50K/month - exp 6-10 taun)hahahaha.
other info ;
a.money spend by E1 staff for wedding - average total cost kawin =RM 30 K (add 20% for contigencies)
b.hantaran typcial demanded by ladies - RM 6666 ,RM 7777 , RM 8888 basically under 10K.
c.credit facility - bank rakyat personal loan (max: rm 100K)

happy budgetting for kawin !

Hippie Dude said...

duuuude. thanks for such a good goood info. damnnn. but then again, getting a good evaluation is not easy, espcially depending on your superior who could actually be a pain most of the time.. o worse, who's always almost oblivious.

anymore infos dear readers?

ey irfan.. hebat la this anonymous person.. hahaha

woi. aku kahwin takde trust fund pun. simple2 dah la dude. buat kat rumah cukup. pelamin buat sendiri, pakai barang2 dalam rumah and balut dengan kain je. hehe. or if you don't have stuff, pinjam neighbours, they'll be more than happy to help.

catering, instead of panggil satu caterer, panggil 3 caterers at the same time. let them bid against each other and you'll be surprised how low they'll go. worked for me. oh and buat buffet instead of serve, cut cost waiters.

bottom line, hotels are mad expensive (minimum 40-70 bucks/head if you're lucky). hantaran pesan member US belikan time season transition sales (dapat designer brands murah gila).

finally ajak ramai2 kawan2 parents because they give lots of angpau (to recover from). photographer pakai kawan2 cukup, sekarang ni semua orang boleh amik gambar lawa.

wedding aku, costs - gifts = RM14000. not so bad.

Anonymous said...

amin, respect!

U gave me a new found prospect for weddings, in the sense that at my wedding:

Gifts less costs = £50k.

Muahaha. And then I use that money to invest so I can have my own secret, fancy wedding. Muahaha.

Let's see how that one pans out. Need to marry a conman i suppose.

Hippie Dude said...

amin... not so bad???

DUDE you just like opened a whole new door to me!!! macam nih 3 tahun keje aku mampu kawin.

But again ppl... I AM NOT GETTING MARRIED 3 yrs from now!!!
