I want to Sarawak you.

Salam

I am longing for the days when I can get on a plane to Kuching.

The thing of getting on a plane and cross the South China Sea from Kuala Lumpur to Sarawak is pure pleasure. 

And trust me, no matter how deep shoot your problem is, how shiityfakyourlife is, in whatever tiresome condition your body, brain and heart is, when your plane crosses the sea, suddenly you will be free of suffocating problems hugging you tighter than a tupperware airtight container. All of a sudden, burst of fresh air and you can breathe one more time. 

And you are free.

Once your plane's tyres screeches the tarmac on Kuching International Airport, adrenaline kicks in and you'll be 100% recharged, full of spirit and lo and behold, you can conquer your own world once again. The thought of losing grip of your life and no control of your own emotions can be devastating but hey, get on a plane and see how that goes. 

Word of caution upon arriving in Kuching, you will feel like suddenly time just slows down. Life is slower in Kuching because people take their precious time to enjoy and appreciate even the smallest things in daily life. 

Kuching, Sarawak , the Land of Hornbills , the land of smiles and awesome food. The warmth and kind people is the thing I always miss the most. Life is easy and slower paced. And green everywhere. I love Sarawak.

And no matter how much I want to talk about planes and Kuching, guess I won't be flying anytime soon. And I just miss Sarawak so terribly much. 

Have a lovely Wednesday,

Ku rasa, mun ku nang kaya raya, ku retire jak, nanam sayor jual rah pasar satok nun jak. Jangan ingat jual sayor sik best, best lah mun kita hidup kaya raya. Mun hidup besa-besa jak, mesti bila jual sayor ya mengharaplah ramei org meli, ada juak duit kei meli beras indah.  Bila sik ramei orang meli, tensenlah because sikda duit kei ngidup dirik. Sik pande ku nak explain.

Bukan apa, kedong sidak agik ada, maok juak rasa nak bermanja-manjak. Tauk lah umur dah 31 dan dah jadi bini orang, manjak ya nang susah nak buang. Kadang-kadang bila balit cuti ya rasa sik cukup-cukup jak nak beloyar dengan orang tua. Lekak sigek, sigek jak crita, lepas secangker , lalu jadi 4 cangker kopi dimimun kotan lamak berloyar. In the end, kotan mabok kopi, semua keja sik terpolah, especially update blog (alasan la tu)...hahahhaha... Ariya ada kawan ku nanyak, apa perasaan lepas kawin? Lepas nya nanyak, ku diam jak. Sikpat nak jawap on the spot. Tapi sik lamak lepas nya pulang, ku call nya ku madah, lepas kawin jak, ku sikda perasaan. ku end call. apa reti sikda perasaan ya, hanya aku jak tauk and sik perlu la cerita lebih lanjut. Sapa dah kawin jak tauk perasaan ya. Hahahha... Sik lucu tapi nang lumrah aku suka tetak. Tapi aku sik netak orang. Aku kenal sorang minah tok, keja nya nang kaki netak orang. Mun orang ditatak ya lucu ka, kelaka nak cali-cali ka sikpa juak. Tok sik sure aku part ne yang lucu ditetak oleh rempuan tok. Tapi nang habit nya netak orang. Netak=ketawa , bukan tetak dengan parang. hehehhe... Tetak dengan mulut terbukak luas sampei gigi geraham yang ditampal belakang nun nampak serta anak tekak bergetar kotan netak orang tek.

Esok monday, MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY!!!!

An average Minah talking about the called-off MAS and AIRASIA share swap deal

It is a personal opinion from an average Minah who sees the matter like any outsider sees a new country. This is my say about the Mas and AirAsia called off share swap.

For the very beginning of the news about possible share swap, deep in my guts ( my guts have a say?) I can see that the swap will only benefit no one. And it does just that. The share swapping deal between Mas and AirAsia on August, 2011 ended on 2 May 2012. Not that I cared enough to cry out a sea of tears but somehow the deal was too much waste of time, effort and of course the love of our life, money.

Growing up with MAS, I took a flight with them since I was 10years old right up until now, what never changes in MAS stewardess is their ability to maintain that smile that keeps you feel appreciated and welcomed at thousands of feet above in the sky. The bliss of flying. I have to spend, ehem, well, in my school days, my parents have to spend a lot of money for a ticket on MAS but all worth it for the warmth and that stewardess smile. AirAsia came, and I was in university, earning almost nothing and my views on flying changed. At first everybody was skeptical due to bad complaints of regular flyers, but me, I took the challange to fly with AirAsia because all I wanted back then and even now, free seats, cheaper tickets regardless what type of service and hospitality they offer me. To me, as long as they are human, what could go worst, they will still be kind to you and not look at you like dinner. And as long as the tickets are cheap, I'll take it. Even after all the additional this and that, AirAsia still is the best in cheap tickets domestic and international. Beat that. 

Back to August,2011, I don't know what struck the deal but I think, MAS needed AirAsia to help them or teach them how to maintain and operate an airline that MAKES MONEY. Not only by getting recognition with awards and sorts can get you more passenger but MAS needed some coaching on how to make more money to cover their operation cost which is more than what they earn (maybe).  If we do business, how can we survive if operation cost is way to high than what income we get. Definitely won't work. After 8 months, the deal was off and my wish is that I hope MAS did learn something from AirAsia and of the whole deal.

According to a newspaper article written by B.K Sidhu, on "Can MAS make it on its own", MAS needs to spend RM5Mil a day to cover cost but " cash can be depleted in three to four quarters if nothing is done soon". And soon isn't peeking around the corner just yet. It said in the article, the operational cost of MAS is high and it is one of the main reason for airline cash loss. Adding salt to injury, passengers which converts into sales are not maintaining the climbing style any business is hoping for. Something was stopping people from flying with MAS. And I am not going to tell you that today. 

One thing I noticed in the article, MAS group CEO, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, used a hell lot of prefix re- which translates to again and again. " Revisit the businss plan, ...restructuring, ..relook ..., ...re-configure, re-brand and more." After all these years I was not really surprised that MAS still haven't wake up from all the turmoils and problems facing them. And I don't see this problems faced by AirAsia. I know I am a bit biased on this issue, my opinion is againts MAS but hey, if they don't want to oversee this, then I will. 

For an average Minah like myself, I only know these facts from tv and newspaper articles and from the internet. I do not know who are the stakeholders, how many people working and who are the stakeholders are. And frankly, I don't care. I do not know the root cause of their problem but let me get this off my flat chest, MAS, please stop showing up on tv for different purpose other than to promote your airline services and promotions. Please stop showing up about stakeholders, about employee not satisfied, about how much loss and about who is going to be MAS chairman. I am bored watching and reading about that. How about making headlines on MAS free seats (better than empty seats to Kuching) or MAS half priced tickets only available on stand-by( still better than empty seats to Bintulu). Or basically, just make headlines about you all making lots of money.

And according to the article, MAS is waiting for their new aircrafts estimated arrival in 2013 in which will definitely help them to cut cost as these old aircrafts requires a lot of maintenance cost ( must be the company structural operations requires the same actions). Ahmad Jauhari said he need 18 months to make the change. My say, make it faster than that. I have waited to many tiring days and sleepless nights for that change where I can spend my lovely money (less is definitely better) on the unforgettable smile of a MAS stewardess.

Manusia

manusia

bukan susah nak baca

tengok saja sudah tahu 

butiran yang akan keluar dari mulutnya

betul kah tipu kah

semua tertulis di muka nya hanya menunggu kita membaca

keikhlasan hati nya penyelewengan jiwa nya

umpama petik jari sudah tahu motifnya

namun

semua ini sama lah seperti kita belajar di sekolah

ada subjek sains dan matematik

ada eksperimen dan ujian

lulus ertinya tidak sia sia mandi di awal pagi untuk ke sekolah

gagal harus tiada dalam dada kita

maka usaha perlu dipertingkatkan

manusia perlu berusaha untuk kebaikan diri sendiri

keluarga dan masyarakat

manusia itu

harus kamu pun berusaha 

jangan hanya berharap kata-kata dan janji manis mampu 

menghidupkan kamu

sudah sudahlah dengan perangai kebudak budakan itu

bosan aku membaca cerita dongeng

nota pendek kaki :) : selamat berhujung minggu manusia

Abyss of sadness

empty 

inside

cold outside

heads spinning

my minds lost in abyss of emptiness

so deep no one can help

but Allah.

 

don't know whether anyone notice this but i found it quite easy to make a poem regarding emotions particularly sadness and depression. and why is that? my guess is, when you are happy, you just laugh it out loud but when you are sad, you just keep it in your heart. it's kinda hard to talk about sadness openly with people compare to happiness when there's a saying something like when you are happy and laughing, the whole world laugh with you but when you are sad and crying, you cry alone. do you cry alone?  i don't .
so does poem about sadness brings you down? does it make you sad . well, for me, sad poem makes my brain working extra hard because i want to know what causes the sadness and so on. usually my poems on sadness pretty straight forward and easy. well, got to go. dinner time. maybe next time we'll do another sad poem so that our brain can workout more. :)

Poem- to ship and kite without the wind

i am 

like a ship without a sail

like a kite without a thread

and my heart is like the world without wind

without sky and without sea

empty

my love 

is like a flower 

that is no longer meaningful

like a perfume that no longer linger the sweet smell

my heart and my love wither

and fades into the sea with no wind.

venting about confessions

a wonderful day. 

relaxed and enjoying lazing around with hubby.

come evening, i received one message from facebook by someone i know but she is not on my friends list.

and i was like, what the sheep.

the message, or more like a confession of her sins were expressed in bad malay and english language writings. and she is a teacher.

and then again i was like " i don't give a cat's ass whatever you told me or what you did ..."

furious? of course not. i was actually taken aback because of her kindness in sharing her dark evil side with me.  i don't have to dig in deep to figure her main character. shameless and pure evil.

to cut the story short, i just couldn't care less about her. and luckily, she's not even in my friends list. 

still a wonderful day. 

thank you Allah.

love,
