I d' Beijing - Part 1

Salam semua...

Kali ni saya nak menceritakan mengenai trip saya ke Beijing. MAS flight direct ke sana mengambil masa selama 6 jam. Time difference pun sama dengan Malaysia. Duit RM cuma 1/2 of RMB. Senang sangat nak buat calculations. Suhu masa saya kat sana teramatla sejuknya -2, -3 to -5..and still snowing..merasala suasana winter lagi.

Sampai sana kami disambut oleh Anita. She is our tour guide yang sangat fasih berbahasa melayu. Dia mengambil masa setahun untuk fasih berbahasa melayu dan belajar di University Beijing. I'm impressed!!

Kami terus di bawa ke Masjid Nan Dou Ya untuk menunaikan solat...lepas tu ke restoran muslim untuk makan malam. Masa kat sini, tak payah risau bab makan dan solat. Semuanya terjaga dan terjamin. Puas hati sangat.

Lepas dinner, kami di bawa menyaksikan Acrobatic Show. It was no surprise that the show was very entertaining. Five superbikes with riders without protective helmets, criss-crossing the inside of a small steel cage. One misstep and they could all tumble into a forrifying heap. Their timing and precision was simpley awesome!!

Masa ni kat Acrobatic Show. Gadis2 cantik dan sexy dgn aksi menarik mereka..tergamam kejap.

Dlm globe ni la 5 motorsikal berpusing secara serentak

Next day, lepas breakfast kami pergi ke Istana Lama (Forbidden City) iaitu istana utama bagi maharaja China zaman dahulu. Ia adalah satu bandar larangan dimana rakyat awam dilarang masuk ke kawasan ini tanpa tujuan. Ia mempunyai keluasan 720 000 meter persegi mengambil masa selama 14 tahun untuk dibina. Istana ini juga dikatakan mempunyai 9999 bilik. Bayangkan berapa banyak pekerja dan masa diperlukan untuk membersihkan bilik sebanyak itu. Istana ini berumur 500 tahun!!

Kemudian kami ke Tiananmen Square, dataran yang terbesar di dunia yang dikelilingi oleh Great Hall.

Kemudian kami menunaikan solat di Masjid Chao Nei yang merupakan masjid tertua di Beijing..dan ke Muslim Super Market dan Niuje. Tempat ini adalah pasaraya untuk penduduk islam di Kota Beijing.

An encounter with a bad apple....

On way back home from Pavilion, as usual, I ikut Jalan Tun Razak menuju ke Jalan Kuching. As I reached the overhead atas Bulatan Pahang tu, I toleh kat rear mirror I. I nampaklah motor polis 2 bijik mengiringi 2 Mini Cooper, followed by MPVs and SUVs. Who the hell these people are, beats me! Belum sempat I nak ketepi, si motor polis bahalol yang pertama tadi pergi ketuk tepi keter I!! Hampeh betul!! Memang hangin betul I. Ni yg rasa macam nak tukar LEXUS - HARRIER NI!! Bukannya I tak nak ke tepi, tak sempat. Dahlah siren bunyinya nak tak nak. Macamanalah kita nak respek mangkuk-mangkuk hayun camni. I know that not all policemen are like that. But these types are the ones that spoil the image. Macam penyangak!! Hidup asyik disumpah-seranah orang aje.

False hope..

A lot of people give false hope whether they realise it or not. Some don't have the heart to say no while some are just enjoying the ride. They just love to receive attention but not willing to give the same back for some reason or another. Coward? Selfish? Perhaps. Or they could either be blind as a bat or just plain ignorant.

I guess for the 'victims', as long as they don't know, they're fine. Or some choose to be ignorant too. Knowing that if they choose to notice, their ride could end. A ride which with such hopes, brings them happiness, eventhough temporary. Sad? Maybe. Wrong? Maybe not.

So, can anything be done about it? For starters, the 'giver' could stop. Or then, the 'victim' could hitch a ride elsewhere, where their contribution or attention are genuinely and rightfully acknowledged or returned. Don't waste your time. Some things are not worth pursuing even if the 'crime' was not intentional to begin with. Unless both parties enjoy the ride for their own reasons, why bother wondering whether there's future. Let it be....

Acknowledment..

I'd like to talk about acknowledgement. Of which I think it's important. You acknowledge your subordinate's work, you acknowledge your friend's help, or even acknowledge someone's presence, to name a few examples. And it helps being acknowledged. It boosts your morale and confidence and definitely makes you happy and strive to become a better person. Even being noticed is already good enough. Knowing that there are people who read my blog with all these rubbish postings is already satisfying. Or when someone quotes you (and even uses it against you), it shows that people do listen. That is still good enough. But in order for you to be acknowledged or being noticed, you need to do it to. What goes around, comes around.


And the most wonderful part is when people acknowledge or notice you when least expected. Sweet..:)

Life is....

Have you ever felt that your life is not that interesting? Or your past is not as colourful as others? And this particularly happens when you hear stories from your friends on their past experiences, journey and adventures. It's depressing actually. Or at least for me. It makes me feel as if I've missed out on a lot of things. And I certainly can't go back in time to experience them. I do have my share of interesting stuff in the past but they seem so dull as compared to some. I can't be going through a mid-life crisis. I'm too young for that. But still, why does the grass always seem to look greener on the other side?

This is one of the most common question asked: If you could turn back time, would you have done it any different?

Till then....have a lovely day.

Happy Birthday Papa!

15 January... :) Its Papa's birthday!!! Although he will not see what i post here, but I would write anyway.... He’s one of the most important man in my life. He has certainly been a good Father for me – spoiling me at times (okey, maybe all the time)… Always putting me first and on top of everything else when I was young… I am so thankful that I have such a wonderful and loving Dad!! Love you Papa!!

So, happy happy birthday Papa, wish you again all the best, good health, more more more patience please….and most important is more happiness.

Ohhhh!! Thanks to Abang Wan and K.Hus for the cake!! It was so nice and sedap and cuuuukuuuup rasa!! Birthday boy likes it so much!! Sebab kek tak hitam..heh..heh…heh.

Last but not least, insyaAllah Syiera akan tunaikan permintaan Papa which is, he want to see me get married. - What else can I say to him, I'm speechless..:( :(
