Reverse Parking is Better on Tuesday, July 29, 2008

Saw this very useful articles at Paultan. Hope this will be useful for you, even though you didn't drive, maybe you can advise your father too...

The UK’s Institute of Advanced Motorists Limited is advocating reverse parking. The following are the benefits of reverse parking rather than entering your parking bay head-first:

• Data shows it takes about 90 seconds for an average 5-year old car’s engine to warm up and reach its thermal efficiency. According to IAM, reversing out of a parking bay while the engine is cold takes up between 20-25 times more fuel than when it is warm. Apparently driving away forwards will help you save fuel. Could be related to the usually lower gear ratio of the reverse gear compared to the first gear.
• The UK’s Highway Code actually encourages reverse parking. This is because reversing into a parking bay which remains static (just an empty piece of road/cement, nothing will suddenly fill it up) is safer than reversing out into a road/lane which may have constant traffic where you cannot see easily. Driving out forwards into the road makes it easier for you to look out for incoming traffic.
• Reversing close to a wall may make it more difficult for thieves to break into your boot as there will not be enough space for them to work.
• With the amount of crime these days, it is easier to get out of the parking bay as fast as possible driving forward as it is easier for you to see where you are going in case you have to leave as fast as you can for security reasons.

This is a post specially for my primary school 'Hari Kantin' which held on today...

My primary school have not been held this 'Hari Kantin' for 4 years since 2004 which that time I'm still Form 1.

I wake up at 8.30am and ready to go by 9am since the event started at 9am. Because I'm a good boy that always help my mum,(hehe) I help my mother to buy her breakfast before going there at 9.20am. (You see how good I am!)

I planned to bring my camera but my brother wanted to bring that camera because he's going for vacation so I regretted I didn't bring the camera! Really missed a lot of good time there! (So no pic for this topic) Even though I'm having good time there but all of my old friends are having school and can't go with me together(I also suppose to be in the school to study too! That day almost whole of KL also having school to replace the Hari Raya holiday. Even the student is less at tuition class) They go there late in the evening which I'm having tuition, so cannot meet lo...

I think I have too much to said but suppose the picture can tell the story... Just very brief la. The school change a lot (of course). I realise that my primary school is actually not that big, the stage is not that big, the hall is not that big too and even the student there is not that much.

I meet my class teacher for Standard 5 and 6. She's so fat after having 2 kids. I also realise that she's 'tame a bit' compare to last time because last time she tend to mad of all things! Just step in the class only she will scold non stop! I also meet many teacher, many changed school and many old already like me! haha... When I meet those teacher that ever teach me, they will sigh. Why? They said "Wah, you sudah tinggi macam cikgu! Cikgu sudah tua lah, tengok you sudah besar dan handsome!" (So proud! LOL!)

I meet one of the teacher that teach me before, she's selling coupon on the coupon counter. So she promoted me to buy more coupon

Teacher: Beli lah banyak-banyak sikit, ada banyak makanan dan minuman. Ada permainan dan
rumah hantu juga...
Me: Alah cikgu, rumah hantu tu saya tak takut dah!
Teacher: Suka hati you la, you nak jadi hantu pun boleh jugak!

In my heart I wanted to be the ghost too to scare those children since I'm tall enough!

And the last important things! Guess who I met... (from my secondary school, who is very important and who have power, big big power!)

...
...
...
...
not my form teacher
...
...
...
not Encik Khairuddin (school discipline teacher)
...
...
...
...
...
or Encik Khirrudin (Penolong Kanan Koko and discipline teacher) but worse than that...

IT'S PUAN NORAINON(HEM) AND PUAN PENGETUA!

Why the pengetua is there? It is because Puan Pengetua son is studying there... Even the pengetua and HEM greet me first. Pengetua said "Awak pun kat sini?!" Then I'm like stunt and then greet them "Ya, Selamat Sejahtera Cikgu(smilling[my trademark] but deep inside I was shock!)". Then I RUN AWAY HIDING AND SNIPPING WONDERING WHY THERE'RE HERE! (I'M STILL IN SHOCK!)

ThenI saw the pengetua is with his son, queue up to buy food so I go over to chat with the HEM. I apologise to her and then she said it's ok because you love your school. So I was kinda relieve. Then I ask why there're here and she reply it's pengetua son studying here and she was just accompanying her to here. I explain why I'm here and I love this school so much then I left.

What a shock! Hope the Pengetua won't announce this on Monday morning assembly if not I'm finish! You may wondering why Pengetua remember me or know me. This is because I'm the class monitor so I'm sitting in front of her(and those head secretary of school) every Monday...

Azmi's Birthday on Tuesday, July 22, 2008

Nowadays, after snipping to other's blog, I learn to love taking picture! Now my folder is kinda mess up with so many picture! Once taken the picture then post it and then I will never look at it again. Wondering how they able to manage their tones of picture in their folder!

This picture was taken on last Friday night when we celebrate Azmi's birthday. So called celebrate but we did nothing like treat him for a meal, buy him some present or even a cake! LOL! I just bring him together with our friends(drive them) to dine at Steven's Corner to the so called famous and most delicious mamak in KL!

Steven's Corner last time is considered the most modern and stylish mamak available but now, guess what... Many of them copy from Steven's Corner and some even nicer then Steven's Corner but of course not the food!

"Birthday boy, why are you covering your face? Come on. Don't be shy!"


See our TAI KO feeding the Dragon? (with the Tai Ko face and dragon shirt, sure people will stay away from us!) The advantage is that our safety is guarantee but the disadvantage is that people staring at us one kind....

And the climax of that night,

('censored naked body')

What a surprise! It's flour! haha... We decided to create a special party for our birthday boy so that not just himself, but ourself too will remember this for our rest of our life! This is last year schooling mah! Not that we wanna bully him because he's small(don't be mad, Azmi!) but just to make him remember that we care! YEAH! WE CARE FOR YOU!

I didn't think of that actually. I just thinking of driving them out to celebrate Azmi birthday but Firdaus Qudri suggest to throw eggs to him when he go home! Then I said it's not that good because we will only throw eggs to those we hate... But this is party so normally people will throw cream. Since cream are expensive (around RM10++ for a bottle) so we decided to throw flour! That's it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AZMI!

Announcement on Monday, July 21, 2008

Dear ex-students of SK Yaacob Latif (1),

Coincidently, my school this Saturday is also having class to replace the Hari Raya holiday... At first I'm not sure whether I want to go or not, after I remember this FOR SURE I'M NOT GOING TO SCHOOL THIS SATURDAY!

Today also, our principal had announce that our school is going to have the 'Hari Keusahawanan' on 9th of August! The greatest of the news is that, the previous Form 5 students is going to perform on that day! (Means band jamming la!) Kinda good news... Looking forwards for both of it!

Which Billionaire are you? on Wednesday, July 16, 2008

Just saw this at John Chow and I taken the test. The answer is not that specific. But this is what I got...

After the test, they 'identify' that I would be an investor Billionaire...

What would you do with your money?

Do try the test! Maybe in the future after you become a billionaire and you look back to this thing, then you say to yourself "This test was true!"

Talented Bird on Monday, July 14, 2008

Just finish watching a talented bird that can sing and imitate many sounds that you wouldn't expect. Believe it or not, it's actually from BBC. I knew this from vincentchow.net, but not the video that he post, the commentator that leave this link to me.

Talented bird...

It's worth watching if you're free. Do you believe it? You better believe it...

BBQ Madness on Saturday, July 12, 2008

Just last Saturday, for the first time our house were having the party (BBQ Party), after 17 year never had any party at our house and the 17 year ago party was my 1 years old birthday party! OMG! haha

I really like BBQ but never have the change to hold it ourself. Normally at someone else party. I have tried twice only BBQ party before. But I think our BBQ party still have room for improvement.

The party was just a small party and that's why just selected people of my brother's friend were invited.

Some expert helping out to start the fire. It's really tough to start the fire and it's take us around 1 hour!

Setting up the things...

My brother's friend...

So fast the time passing by! After just few hours of fun, and it comes to an end.

And today, my relatives party and it's BBQ again! But this was special...

Did you see the LOK LOK car there? Yes! It was booked that day!

And those entertainer...

It was really special and it's my first time I saw this thing. I also seldom eat those Lok Lok because it's quite costly... Since that night, I just need to take what I want to eat and just eat! No need to pay!

It's Bigger & Better! on Wednesday, July 09, 2008

Just edited my blog width and it's now bigger and better! Not like last time the post width so skinny like me!

I don't really like the header above my main column/post. I saw most of them the header is above the sidebar and the main column/post.

What do you think? Should I modify? At first thought of changing the templates of my blog. Since I cannot find a templates that I like and it's a long work to modify the templates, so I just modify the width. Actually it's too skinny and the header...

Any idea about the header? Is it ok now? Or you agree with me that it's better to place the header above the sidebar and main column/post just like many other blog?

Friday Night Fever on Tuesday, July 08, 2008

What we normally do when we go outing on Friday night(mostly)?

We normally go out at 10pm, ridding motorcycle because the air is at it's best during that time. But last Friday is my first time I drive for outing.

That day really have many obstacles. Since Saturday, is going to party I have to buy something to help my brother. We planned to go out at 8.30pm and I go planned to go out at 8.15pm but Haiqal wanted to fetch his brother for tuition ar 8.25 so I cannot go out that early.

But when Haiqal came back at 8.30pm, this time Azmi cannot go out at 8.30pm because he have problem with his parents or cannot be reach that time.

My favorite place? Of course up above the sky, the hill top!

Actually it's clearer there but this is all I can take...

Driving out that day with Haiqal instead of Firdaus Ruslan

Sometimes we'll go another place after coming down the hill, depends...

And finally, our favorite budget store for supper!
(to cure our stomach before heading home)!

That's the normal journey when we go outing on Friday night(mostly Friday Night because Saturday is weekends and no need to wake up early!) . But since SPM is coming real soon, I think we'll missed that place very much! Don't when we'll visit there again!

Busy and worried on Monday, July 07, 2008

The past weekend was really busy and I did not manage to study although I promised to use the three days to memorize the nilai-nilai moral. I ended up skipping a few question...Feel bad. Don't know why I can't memorize those nilai.

Tell you why I'm so busy. That Friday night I go outing with my friends, which is the first time I drive them around for outing. It was fun of course but we are late! It's hard to park the car because I'm so use to the motorcycle. Will post it later, maybe tomorrow.

I seems to be like 'sedar dan insaf' after that Thursday home tuition. (You don't think so because I'm still play play and not concentrate? I'm not sure whether I'm truly insaf and sedar. LOL!) My teacher said that she don't have enough time to revise back all the Form 4 and Form 5 topic. So I'm like, ya, time don't permit us to revise back. So what should I do...I'm like tension now, really not enough time to cover. Still thinking of a way so that no need to revise all topic but still can improve my study such as Add Math, Bio, Chemist and Physics. But now I just tuition Add Math, Math and Physics at home tuition. At PTM, I tuition 3 science, BM, SEJARAH and Add Math. Let's see how things work.

Saturday night my house have party. I'm only having tuition in the evening so why I'm busy? I'm busy buying & preparing this and that for my brother. Indeed, I'm almost late for tuition! At night, I sleep at 12.30 am. From morning till evening, but it was fun. Going to blog about that. No worries.

Sunday I went to my uncle's house which was equip with karaoke system. I sang till I drop as it was free. That day just eat, sing and then eat. Plus I forgot to bring my nilai-nilai moral paper there to read! But I guess I'll not read too if I'm there...

Ikmal changed his blog templates for the second time but I'm still same with this old and boring templates. I planned to change since last two weeks but I can't find the templates I like. Any idea or recommendation? I also asked from someone who experience changing templates, she told me that changing templates need many time to change because all those sidebar will be gone and just left the main post column only. So let's see when I gonna change it. Wait for my surprise!

So 2 post coming soon. Any advise are welcome!
