Kat sidebar kanan tu, atas sekali. Haaa, iklan jap. Kalau korang perasan, aku ada letak ikon media sosial untuk dua akaun umum aku, iaitu, Pokcik Nubs dan juga Langit Senja 2020 . Sebenarnya, aku nak letak nama "langitsenja" cuma ni kan tahun 2020, memang dah ada orang lain pakai dah jawabnya. Yang buat aku rasa bengang dan kecewa hahaha sebab akaun langitsenja tu, takde apa-apa gambar pon! 😠😝 Aku rasa dia nak jual nama instagram ni, sebab tu dia tak letak apa-apa gambar lagi. Fuh, it's okay, I'll just add 2020 at the back of my langitsenja. 😝 Tiba-tiba aku semangat nak create content . Bini aku suggest aku buat content  untuk bapa-bapa generasi aku, generasi millenial. Sebab di Malaysia ni, heck,  hatta di seantero dunia ni ramai ibu-ibu yang menyumbang kepada content pasal keibubapaan, dan tak hairan jugak golongan sasaran untuk sebarang kempen pemasaran barangan bayi, kanak-kanak ni, ialah golongan ibu. Mereka ni punya purchasing power, kuasa membeli yang lagi ...

Pagi semalam, kurang lebih jam 10:30, aku sampai juga ke kebun pakcik kepada isteri aku. Kat mana? Kat Hulu Langat. Memang cukup terkenal tempat ni dengan kebun, homestay dan resort, chalet sebab ada banyak sungai. Aku pulak dah lama tak ke kebun, hutan, jadi, macam teruja juga nak ke kebun tu. Sampai je, bukak pintu terus mengimbau kenangan. Rasa nostalgia, melankolik apa semua lah. Sebab ada bau yang mengingatkan aku akan kampung belah Abah aku di Johol, Negeri Sembilan. Yang buat rasa melankolik tu, sebab rumah di sana dah "dirobohkan" ( for lack of better words ) jadi atas tanah kat sana aku rasa memang kosong kot. Nanti aku tengok balik Whatsapp group keluarga belah Abah aku. Eh, melalut pulak tapi alang-alang dah termasuk "simpang" cerita pasal kampung Abah, layan je la. Kampung Abah tu, dekat dengan Air Mawang. Kampung Masjid Tua nama diberi. Kat laman rumah tu dulu, ada pokok kelapa, pokok durian, pokok rambutan (paling banyak) dan surau kecil yang seingat a...

Tu dia. Cerita 2018 baru nak tulis sekarang. Draft ni pon tahun lepas yang punya. Ya, dari tahun 2019. Tentang 2018. Barai! 😂😂😂 A must have at this famous spot! No prize for guessing the location of this photo! Langit senja yang biasanya memang cantik dan senang terdapat di pulau dan pantai. 30 minutes later I got 🍒🍓 2018 pada aku merupakan tahun pertama aku sebagai seorang suami sepenuh masa. Full time. All the time. No part time. No sometime. Hahaha. Jadi, aku dah bersiap sedia untuk mengorbankan keinginan aku untuk bercuti di pulau, pantai seperti pada masa aku bujang dulu. The most normal and problem-free bachelor night, in Medan! 😙 Tapi, nak dijadikan cerita, sudah rezeki aku punya isteri yang sangat memahami, dan sahabat-sahabat yang baik, dan juga ahli keluarga baru yang tidak berkira, tahun 2018, 3 kali aku ke Indonesia! Sebelum 2018, kali terakhir (dan juga kali pertama) aku ke Indonesia pada 2015, November. Aku ke Jakarta dengan sahabat, Adib S...

Apa cerita baru aku? Dah bersawang blog ni selama 12 bulan. Mungkin lebih. Nanti aku check. Cerita paling baru, dunia dalam proses pemulihan dari wabak COVID-19. Siapa sangka akan berlaku keadaan macam ni, 3 bulan terkurung di rumah, terbatas segala gerak, yang hanya dibenarkan bila perlu sahaja - beli barangan runcit. Aku pulak dah jadi bapa kepada seorang budak lelaki penuh akal, berumur 15 bulan. Kecik lagi, walaupun dah boleh melangkah jauh di dalam rumah. Di luar saja masih tak berani lepas tangan. Dulu masa bujang, dengar cerita dari teman yang dah beranak pinak, aku bersangka mereka hanya membuat cerita, kononnya bila ada anak, kau rasa mahu duduk di rumah sahaja, bermain dengan mereka. Buat cerita supaya aku, yang pada masa itu hanya seorang bujang, untuk cepat-cepat bernikah. Hahaha The very rare moment when he wants to snuggle up to me. While watching Little Baby Bum Youtube channel! 😅 Tapi betul, setiap kali aku tengok anak aku, ada rasa tenang di situ. Denyut s...

"Alamak, abang tak mandi lagi ni. Nak jugak dukung Ammar ni." "Ooo, Abang tak mandi lagi ke." "Ha'ah" "So,stay away." =___= ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Adib! Gee! Ammar ni nangis pulak. Abang tiba-tiba hidung berair,takut pulak nak dekat ni ha." "Abang selesema ke?" "Ye kot. Ke habuk, entah ah." "So,stay away." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Okay, bye bye Ammar! Pak Long nak gerak balik JB dah. Hmm, nak cium risau pulak aku, baby kecik ni kang terjangkit apa dari aku ni..." "Haa betulla tu, bang." "So,stay away." =___= --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Aku dah jadi Pak Long dah sekarang ni. Alhamdulillah, adik ipar aku selamat melahirkan anak lelaki sulung dia dan adik aku. Umur dah sebulan lebih baru aku dapat jumpa anak menakan aku masa raya haji baru-baru ni. Dan setelah berjumpa, bermain, mengendong anak menakan aku tu, baru aku tahu, rasa, faham perasaan mak pak yang duk ghairah share gambaq anak-anak depa kat social media. Eh tercakap utagha pulak. Aku tak tahu berapa banyak gambar dan video yang aku ambik. Tu pun semalam aku dah buat quality check. So, sebab aku tak nak spam orang punya timeline di social media dengan gambar, video anak menakan aku, jadi aku spam member aku yang punya rasa geram sama budak kecik. Worry not, I have checked yang member aku bukan potential paedophile. Okay that's not funny. Bos insurans aku pernah cerita. Ada anak ni lain macam rasanya. Rasa macam nak duduk rumah satu hari main dengan diorang je kalau boleh. Tapi pasal tak bolehlah dia keluar bekerja mencari rezeki. Masa tu aku cuma bol...

Once upon a time.. This one family that became whole again when the 5 of them got together under one roof, was having their dinner, together. As usual, the house was full of noise from the laughter, shouting, and the weird fart sound from the eldest son. So happened, they were talking about near-death experience. Maybe because the father was telling them his latest project at work which was really risky but as an experienced person in his field, he had to take it and personally be there to oversee the whole project till its completion. "Ada hari tu, Ayah pergi site, angin kuat gila. Ayah ingat kalau lama sikit ribut tu, terbang jugak semua heavy machines tu hempap Ayah! Jadi macam pancake pulak nanti! Hahahaha!!" the father laughed and seemed to take it positively. Such weird sense of humor. The eldest did not say anything. His younger siblings however laughed at their father's obsession with pancakes that at that situation he could only think of himself being thu...

It is dinner time. Just like always when the 5 of them are together under one roof, it is a must to sit down and have dinner together. This is when the family becomes whole again. So, when the family becomes whole again, over the roasted garlic chicken the mother made, the Mac n cheese the father whipped up, and the salads, desserts that the only princess in the house made, will there be laughters, arguments, sometimes curses and swearing, but never silence. That is when the family becomes whole again. Usually, the father will forcefully push the vegies into the plate of the youngest, followed by remarks such as "You're gonna grow up and be a man just like Daddy, like you always want. So, be a good kid and finish your vegetables." To which the baby in the family will oblige, with such reluctance, also out of respect to the father, and the older sister who went through the trouble preparing the dishes. And, yes, that you can see and hear only when the family is whole ...

Baru-baru ni, terjadi satu insiden dalam lembaran hidupku yang membuat aku terdiam sejenak sebelum berupaya melafazkan kata-kata syukur. (perghh, skema tak ayat ini? =P) I was thinking, how different my life would have been if one of the many things that have been in my life, was not there to begin with? So, bear with me y'all. I was driving to my bro's home in Balakong, and fuel is running low so being the skema (adik-adik, skema ni perkataan bahasa Malaysia, jadinya jangan guna perkataan ini dalam karangan bahasa Inggeris ya) person I am, I made a stop at the Shell gas station next to the Nouvelle Hotel, the one located alongside the PLUS highway. All done, I started my engine. Hmmm, just some cranking sounds. Let's try again. Okay, one more time. "Repeat steps 3 more times." Aaaaand, no more sound made when I turned they key. Couldn't be the battery la. I just changed it last Raya 2013, which in case you don't remember when was it, it was in Aug...

Last weekend was a packed one. I went down to JB and Singapore, mainly to visit my grandmother and...because of another business in Singapore. So, alang-alang dah ke Singapore, I planned to meet up with the gf. I left quite late after work because got a bit of unfinished work in the office. Everyone was busy preparing for the 2nd audit of Skim Organik Malaysia that was supposed to be carried out yesterday but has been postponed to another date after raya "atas sebab yang tak dapat dielakkan". heh  Got on the highway around 6.35pm and had my dinner at Restoran Jejantas Ayer Keroh. For iftar, it was in the car and I had 2 dates. By the time I got to Ayer Keroh, it was 7.45pm. Okay la tu. Accident at UPM exit. I reached my aunt's house in JB around 11.25pm gitu. Wasn't that tired, maybe because I thought too much of what was gonna happen the next day. The next day, I left for Singapore around 9am, but before that I went to my friend's house to get the whi...

Happening! Meriah! It was a very joyous occasion. I can't remember when was the last time I got to be with my Penang family at a kenduri kahwin. I even missed few weddings the past 3 years as I was in Australia. The journey this time took me and my bro, Adib to Kota Tinggi. I regretted not leaving work earlier because we didn't make it for the tahlil (and of course MAKANG MAKANG) at Mak Tam's house.  A funny story, me and Adib were quite shocked to see the other side of Kota Tinggi town was pretty much dead at night. We reached the Mayres Hotel around 8-9 pm but the shop lots opposite the hotel were all closed already. It didn't take us long to realise that the centre part of the town is pretty much alive; 24/7 KFC, mamaks', and the shopping mall as well. I plan to go to Kota Tinggi again in the future, perhaps go to Sedili, Pulau Sibu, hopefully. The following day - the big day. Even though everyone stayed in the same hotel, it was only at the majlis I got to me...

So, my dad decided to come to my place last night as he got himself a day off from work today. He took the night Plusliner bus to Pekeliling last night, and reached KL around 4 am. Luckily he got some acquaintance that he knows on the bus so they hung out at the mamak's. I drove out in the dark, feeling rather excited than scared because it felt like I was travelling for vacation, early morning. =P And it pretty much reminded me of the late night drives with Dicky and Co. last time in Gippsland. Hahaha After dropping off my dad's friends at KL Sentral around 5.30am, my dad took over the wheels, wanted to see how good is the new car. He was pretty much impressed and asked me to take good care of the car, also  commented on my driving skills...hahahaha =___=" paiseh! So, just now at work, around 10.20am or so, my dad called me to let me know he was about to leave for Kerteh with the Kancil. He picked me up at work and returned me my house key and car key as well. Drive saf...

Hmm, adventurous weekend? Hahaha not sure what words can I use to describe it but it was a good one. Not one where I spent lazing around in my room, playing games, watching Jdramas, and just browsing all those postgraduate courses offered by unis with no further intention to take action...=___= So, thanks to my Pak Long and family for their hospitalities. Got to meet my Wan as well, though as usual she seemed to not remember me when she first saw me. I guess it must be quite upsetting to not remember your family members. Long story cut short, Selamat Pengantin Baru Abang Eindy and Kak..Roza? SOrry! Lawa seh pelamin... Uncle trying the cendol Raja Dan Permaisuri Sehari..dah dua hari dah. hehehe With the groom's mother The bubur kacang durian?  Cendol Kg. Jiboi. Apparently it is famous in Seremban? Though the tall songkoks really caught my attention.  Potong KEK! With the pengantin. Hehhee Oh, I got a new ride. Thanks to Abah and Mak for their ...
