Past and Future

In my childhood, the raining season is a festive moment full of joyous activities and fun. We built raft, catching frogs to use as fishing baits, diving in river and setting ‘tauk’, a small bamboo stick fish trap put in a wet paddy field. Early after dawn, we went to see if some of the ‘tauks’ whether we’re successful or not. It was 30 years behind.

Today, our kids don’t know how to make a raft, tauk or catch frogs at the river bank. But, chanel handbags they knows how to play ‘Jin Online’, one of the famously internet games nowadays. They never experience how is it felt bitten by a leech, fishing under the rains when the chilly wind turn the body became a vibrator.

It just 30 years passed by, I wonder how would it be in 30 years ahead.

Very nice story of contrast. I can identify with it. Wonder the name of river and village where it all happened! Ulu Nerus? Haha.

Sir: haha.. not Ulu Nerus, it's we call Gelong Nibong and Gelong Tok Wok, located at Kg. Gong Tok Nasek, just 3km away from KTrg City Centre.
I just guess Gelong means 'Parit' in malay. Anyway, thanks for your prompt visit.

my past and future????


All people or person in a world have their own individual dream, It doesn’t matter whether for a man or a women. Its include all. However not all of them have successfully accomplished their dream. From my opinion, we got to have a long and a short term dream or we what can called goal.
What make me inspired to wrote down these article was I want to tell you all about my short history of my life beginning on me after graduated from high school. I can still remember about my lovely English teacher favorite question…What Are You Going To Be when You Are Grown Up….?

So I told her, I want to married you because you are beautiful.. It’s funny and a bit scary right? Actually what I’m going to tell you that is, I don’t really know what I’m going to be after school.
And I told her that. For me it is not easy to answer these famous question because what goes around comes around. She gave me a little advise on what can I do after school.. but I didn’t took it seriously because in my mind on that time was, I want to be free after studying in primary school and high school for almost eleven years. Influenced off by my friend during that time have brought me to do my own first job by working at the fast food restaurant with the pay check around three hundred ringgit per month. So I get on working there for about five damn month before I flew back to peninsular Malaysia.

My dad was the high ranking army officer working in Kuching during that time. He ask me once again what is that I want actually, but I didn’t answer his question. So he wrote me a two thousand ringgit cheque and have ask me to buy a motorbike and get a valid driving licence to make my life easier so I took it. After returning back to Terendak Camp Melaka I get on working for about one and the half year with several manufacturing company. Finally I get bored due to the small wedges that I get from my monthly salary. I have decided to persuing my studies by doing a diploma in Architecture Engineering at the private college namely Federal Institute of Technology in Kuala Lumpur with my own scholarship. It is quite tough for me to do it because It is hard for a low grade SPM certificate as me so I have do my best to get good mark in all the semester exam but finally after studying for about one and the half year I quit due to the rumours saying that F.I.T Certification does not valid by the education ministry. So I have wasted my time studying at that damn places. So what can I do next?? I called my girlfriend and told her what had happened to my life and she told me not to continuing my studies and just ask me to get a job back. I followed her advice and had applied for a job in the hotel industry same as her so that we can met each other at the same place everyday. From there is where I started my carrier as a chef and get on and on for ages until I ended here as a tukang masak. I have a dream to get my own restaurant but I don’t know how to have the fund to established my own restaurant. After married I have settle down to east coast of Malaysia and have work with several sulk malay restaurant in Kuala Terengganu and what have make me tired was, all the fucking melayu employer were a big damn stupid bastard. Almost all of them are a good blood sulking bastard. Are there any good melayu employer here in Kuala Terengganu ?????

Finally I ‘d make up my mind and continuing back my studies with these prestigious college namely fucking Cosmopoint Cawangan Terengganu. And I noticed that almost all of their kakitangan are also monkey especially at administration department. What the Hell am I were doing here ???? God, show me the way please….!
