A Gift

 The last day of ICT Training for Agro business participants in Miri, 2017. Very enjoyable, fun, and very challenging when teaching adults which most of them are Information Technology (IT)  illiterate. At the end of the training session, each of the participant produce their own blog for their business. As a token of appreciation, they give me (as a trainer) a very valuable and beautiful gifts…..a bracelets. Thank you so much. I love them.

Nak pindah rumah

Minggu ni merupakan minggu terakhir aku di Koganei. Selepas ni, aku akan tinggal di Hino. Di Jepun ni, kalau nak pindah banyak jugak benda perlu diuruskan terlebih dahulu. Kepada yang menyewa terutamanya, selain mencari rumah yang sesuai untuk didiami nanti (kalau kes aku ni, tak perlu cari, sebab dah ada disediakan, dengan sewa yang berpatutan jugak), dimestikan menghubungi ejen rumah (fudousan) terlebih dahulu (sebaik-baiknya 2 bln sebelum nak pindah).

Selain tu, aku senaraikan aktiviti-aktiviti (di bawah ni) yang perlu dilakukan sehingga hari terakhir nak pindah nanti.

• Call electric, water, gas and internet companies for the termination (macam kes aku, semua dah ada disediakan di rumah baru, so i don’t need to get a new contract).
• Return back the internet modem to NTT.
• Clean the current house.
• Distinguish the rubbish into determined categories.
• Call recycle centre  for unused electrical appliances (esepecially washing machine, refrigerator, microwave oven or unused computer … kalau ada orang nakkan barang2 tu, lagi baik sebab kalau recycle centre yang ambik, you will be charged for the disposing).
• go to post office to change the current address to a new one.
• go to city hall for the changes of address in your registration card.
• a few minutes before you step out from your (old) house, make sure all garbages have been gathered at the  garbage store, switch off the main electric circuit, gas pipe and water pipe.
• THEN, you can go freely. 

Ingin pulak aku nak share satu kes di mana, last week, when my friend was helping me for moving my stuffs, he opens my neighbour’s house accidently…Oh my Gosh!!! (how shocked he was, and said “sumimasen”), he go towards me and take a look how’s the apartment look like…how messy it was…YUCKKKKK!!! messy, smelly and dark…3 words popped-up on my mind…betapa kotornya rumah tersebut (kasut bergelimpangan, kotak2 di sana sini, dan keadaan macam tempat pembuangan sampah sarap di Kuching.. Dah lah tu, memang berbau hanyir pulak dengan sampah sarapnya dibiar tanpa dibuang…patutlah rumah aku dipenuhi dengan lipas-lipas…musykil sungguh aku, di mana dan bagaimana aku boleh ada lipas-lipas yang sungguh ‘melimpah ruah’ ini…rupa-rupanya jiran aku ni ‘menternak’ lipas yang berjaya. Aku tak tau pulak, time member aku dan aku terbuka & membuka pintu (tak berkunci) time tu, adakah si minah tu (aku pernah terserempak ngan jiran aku tu, semasa kedua-dua kami membuka pintu rumah masing-masing), tengah tidur (on record, tengahari mak oiii) atau memang takde di situ…memang gelap sangat…tak berani aku nak masuk…terus teringat pasal paranormal activity II….terus seram sejuk badan aku…dan malam tu, aku terus bermimpi dengan “MOMBOK”….awww…dan kala ini aku mengatakan pada diriku…I’m fearless…

Healing

Yeah, I have to admit, how wonderful Japanese people in helping their people in need. I just realized why many stores in Tokyo or in other places reside Japan, have not enough foods for us (which not effected with tsunami) to buy. Actually, most food have been delivered to north eastern Japan. And at the same time, this is one way of other people to help them and sacrifice a bit on the difficulty to find foods or petrol. And it make sense to me and how sweet they are.

The nuclear plant in Fukushima seems to  have a positive reaction, and getting better and better. However, we still need to be very careful of the radiations effects.I feel relieve and it time to help other people for the process of healing.

 

Pray for Japan

Let we pray for Japan on what had happened last week…Japanese people are now struggling on their lives for the post-tsunamis and earthquake…the biggest in Japanese so far. Japanese people are great, their patience, hardworking, and helping each other, make me cry and keep crying.

Flying to Shanghai

My flight to Shanghai will be at 19:30, Terminal 1, Narita Airport, today. I really hope everything will going to be ok. This will be my first time in Shanghai and I’m going to stay there until March 14th. The purpose is to present my research paper at ICSEM 2011. And wish me luck!

Berpantak (Tattoo)

Masih dua tiga dua tiga (kata urg Serawak) sama ada nak bertattoo ke sik tuk… bila nanggar member ada tattoo di sebelah bahu kiri (besarlah juak tattoo ya), menggelodak juak hati tuk maok bertattoo. Makinlah hati tuk mencanak-canak jak rasa bila nanggar clip video (nak di atas tuk, Burhan G, Nik & Jay) sidaknya bertattoo. Adoh adoh…Dah lamak teringin nak molah (ada bertanyak di Wisma Saberkas, Kuching sebelum tuk), kakya, pandey sik jadi indah nak molah. Design tattoo yang aku nak polah pun dah ada, cuma nunggu masa jak gik tuk (sik boleh dipadah, rahsia bah).

p/s Mata sik dapat nak tidur indah eh, berkobar-kobar dah nak ke Shanghai esok hari.

What a ‘Wonderful’ Situation

One track (Larl Larl Buleeya) from the movie called ‘It’s a Wonderful After Life movie’.

Just wanna share with u guys, especially for those are in Tokyo areas and planning to pick up your family or friends at the airport. Firstly, make sure your get the correct information about the airport (either he/she will arrives at Narita Airport or Haneda Airport), if in Narita (which terminal he/she will arrives at), and the expected time arrival.  Actually my friend (let me call him as G) had asked me to follow him to the narita airport for pick up his friend which will arrives at Narita Airport around 3pm, on saturday (last week) from Chicago. I’m agreed and both of us going to the airport at 12 noon. In the car, I’m asking my friend which flight and terminal he will be at. With confident, he told me that his friend (D for short) will arrives at Terminal 2(without mentioning what flight it was). Since the clock is still 2.15pm, we stopping at the Shisui Rest area (in Chiba) and buy Starbucks coffee (I chose Matcha Tea Latte) and then take a look at the information screen for arrival and departure flight at narita airport. While G looking at the information screen, I’m going to the toilet. After that, I’m asking him for the latest information about D’s flight. G keeps telling me that D will arrives at Terminal 2, so, we’re heading to the Terminal 2, Narita airport.

We have to make sure the exact terminal that D will arrives soon, because, even though terminal 1 and terminal 2 are close to each other, if you are driving a car , and to go from terminal 2 to terminal 1 or  from terminal 1 to terminal 2, then you have to go thru the expressway (and for sure you have to pay for JPY350, about 9km for one way) and exit from the expressway to national way, turn back to expressway (another JPY350 and another 9km)…that what happened to us…D arrived at Terminal 1 about 2pm.

I have to blame myself for not re-checking the information at the information screen after G…and of course, it my fault as well..and because of that, D (this is his first time coming to Japan, looks so worried after he has to wait for us almost 2 and half hours (his flight arrived earlier, one hour before 3pm)…very sorry D, and we do…and I feel very sorry for G (when I see his face, he looks so sad and terrible and keep saying sorry to D).

Watchaaa….

Wasurenai yo!

Singer: Thelma Aoyama

Title: Wasurenaiyo

I keep listening to this song recently. Enjoy!

Lyric:

Can I still believe in you?
fuan dakedo shinjiteitai no mmm
kitto kore ga ai nan datte
kienai mono nan datte
hajimete oshiete kureta hito dakara

I’m not saying it’s a promise
yakusoku de wa nai
datte kotoba wa aimai deshou
motto tanjun na koto nanda
aisarete ureshikute
tada aitai kara

I’ll be waiting
wasurenai yo wasurenai yo
dakara kyou mo
ano hi no you ni
matteru yo matteru yo
samishii kedo daijoubu
okaeritte tsuntsunde kure
taattakai mune no kodou ga
kikoesoude
missing you

nanimo kawaranai nichijou kara anata dake ga
inakunatta totan ni
mawari no subete story ushinatte
me ni utsuru no wa mou shiranai machi mitai

I’m not saying it’s a promise
yakusoku de wa nai datte
kanawanai to kizutsuku deshou? kitto
honnoutte yatsu na no doushiyou mo naku ki ni natte
tada aitai kara

I’ll be waiting
doushitemo doushitemo oboeteitai
koto dakara itsumademo itsumademo
kawaranaitte iwasete yo
tadaimatte dakishimete kureta kokochiyosa ga
nokotteite
missing you

(I’m not saying it’s a promise) no it’s not
(demo shinjisasete) I believe, I believe, I believe
(yakusoku nanka janai) Even though it’s not a promise
tada aita kara

I’ll be waiting
wasurenai yo wasurenai yo
dakara kyou mo
ano hi no you ni
matteru yo matteru yo
samishii kedo daijoubu
okaeritte tsutsunde kure
taattakai mune no kodou ga
kikoesoude
missing you

doushitemo doushitemo oboetetai
koto dakara itsumademo itsumademo
kawaranaitte iwasete yo
tadaimatte dakishimete kureta kokochiyosa ga
nokotteite
missing you

<Translation>

Can I still believe in you?
Even though it’s difficult I’d want to believe, mmm
I’m sure this is love
It is something lasting
As you were the first person who taught me

I’m not saying it’s a promise
It’s not a promise
Because words are just vague right?
It’s more simple
To be loved
I’m just delighted

I’ll be waiting,
I won’t forget, I won’t forget
That’s why today as normal
I will be waiting just like that day
Even though I feel lonely I’m fine
How you said “welcome back”
And embraced me
It’s as if I hear
The beat of your warm chest
Missing you

Nothing changed everything were still normal
Only you were gone
The rest surrounding us, story were gone
The city that’s in my eyes is foreign

I’m not saying it’s a promise
It’s not a promise
As it won’t change and I will just be hurt right? I’m sure
I have no special instincts nor anxious feelings
I just want to see you

I’ll be waiting
Whatever happens, whatever happens it’s something I always want to remember
that’s why It’s something I’ll always keep saying
The comfort I felt when you sayd “welcome back” and when you embraced me still remains
missing you

(I’m not saying it’s a promise) no it’s not
(but I still believe) I believe, I believe, I believe
(it’s not something like a promise) Even though it’s not a promise
But I just want to see you

I’ll be waiting,
I won’t forget, I won’t forget
That’s why today as normal
I will be waiting just like that day
Even though I feel lonely I’m fine
How you said “welcome back”
And embraced me
It’s as if I hear
The beat of your warm chest
Missing you

Whatever happens, whatever happens it’s something I’ll always want to remember
That’s why I’ll always keep saying
The comfort I felt when you said “welcome back” and embraced me
Still remains
Missing you

Tell me why…

Tell me why…

• …I keep pending my “to do job”?
• …I  always do the “not important thing”?
• …I can’t say  “I can’t help you” to do the task?
• …I’m so confident that I can do and finish my work on time?
• …I’m so lazy recently?
• …I can’t  tell myself why?
