Weekend fly by so fast....Weekdays past like a thousand year #2
Akhirnye!! Gue berjaye bgn lewat dr biase!! Biasenye ari ahad gue ader futsal pkl 10am. So kena ar wake up early 4 bfast & xtvt gue every morning....today Gue berjaye bgn pkl 11 lebih! fuh... mcm x caye jer...Bkn ape.. gue xble bgn lewat dr pkl 10am beb! x tau ngape... if lewat jer..mesti pening pale...Gue cukup envy mmbr2 gue yg ble tido almost 1 day full! gile ar.. Bgn pon sbb nak kencing or berak jer..
Today, me & erma lepak kat umah jer. Since erma bz ngan twilight die... & gue dah lapo... so gue masak ar spaghetti goreng carbonara. blasah jer.... janji sedap & ble makan. Erma pon ckp sedap gak... Then gue tgk f1. Can u believe it that Brawn GP ble menang 1-2? Dah ler tuh... Hamilton yg start dr #18 pon ble finish #3? If x, Jarno Trulli yg patut dpt #3, tp since 'Race Control' kate Trulli buat salah... x pasal2 jer mase start kat sepang nnti, Trulli kena start 12 spot dr tmpt yg sepatutnye die qualify. Politik F1! Mentang2 ar McLaren byk duit & team yg besar... senang2 jer bantah result f1. Tp its a good race ar. Syg utk Vettel..if x..die ble dpt no.3 blkg Kubica yg mmg laju ar saat2 akhir tuh. Tp ape ble buat...die x kasi Kubica potong die sedangkan tinggal 3 lap jer nak abis...syg ar. & Ferrari... yg 1 terbabas... yg 1 enjin prblm...adoyai!!!! mmg tiap2 season mcm nih. Asal start kat Australia jer... hampeh.. nasib baik ar pick up blk when kat sepang onwards.
Pejam celik...dah mlm! kejapnye... tgk Merlin & One Tree Hill at the same time (bile iklan..tukar channel)...
Weekend mmg cepat berlalu...Bile weekdays je.. x sabo nak tunggu weekend dtg. Bile weekend dah smpai.. kejap jer...Sabo jer la.

February'09 Auto Sales trend
Mungkin disebabkan initiatif yg diambil oleh Proton & Perodua dlm meyakinkan MITI bhw mereka ada jln penyelesaian bagi mengelakkan warga Malaysia berhenti membeli kereta ada mmbuahkan sedikit hasil.
FYI, Proton (gue x tau whether Perodua perticipate ker x) ader memohon pakej ransangan dr pihak kerajaan berupa duit & juga scrapping old car proposal seperti yg mereka sedang lakukan dlm program xxchange Proton yg sudah mengambil tempat lebih dr setahun. Lebih dr 1k kereta Proton lebih dr 10 tahun telah berjaya di'scrap' dlm program ini. For those yg x tau, xxchange prgm is a prgm where the owner of an old Proton car-be it Saga or Iswara or even Tiara- can exchange with a new Proton car i.e Satria Neo or Gen 2 or Waja or Savvy or Perdana plus RM500 cash. The new car i.e Satria Neo bla..bla.. tuh bkn lah free2 jer tukar. Korg akan dpt waiver of the dp & free 1st year insurans & road tax jer ..if gue x silap ar. If silap..sorry ar beb!.
So in the proposal... Proton bagi additional cash worth up to RM5000 in order to exchange to a new Proton car. Tp make sure ur car still ble jln & kena cek kat PUSPAKOM dulu b4 ble participate dlm prgm ni & other rules & regulations dat u need to adhere in order to participate in the prgm. Proton is investing heavily in this xtvt smpai diorg nak set up a scrap facility + PUSPAKOM kat Tg. Malim bg menjayakan prgm ni.
So back to Feb'09 sales. Here are the top 10 brand for Feb'09:
- Perodua - 12,216 units.
- Proton - 9,317 units.
- Toyota - 5,273 units.
- Honda - 2,919 units.
- Nissan - 2,023 units.
- Naza - 666 units.
- Mitsubishi - 389 units.
- Isuzu - 347 units.
- Inokom - 296 units.
- Suzuki - 283 units.
Total TIV for Feb'09 are 35,343 units or 3% drop compare to Jan'09 sales. For top 10 models for passenger car (dlm kurungan adalah rank overall) plak:
- Myvi - 6,435 units.
- Viva - 5,200 units.
- Saga - 5,015 units.
- Persona - 2,977 units.
- Vios - 1,915 units.
- City - 1,737 units.
- (10) Accord - 422 units.
- (11) Civic - 380 units.
- (12) Camry - 369 units.
- (13) Kancil - 364 units.
Nmpknye Viva berjaya retain its 2nd spot setelah diambil alih oleh Saga pd bln Jan'09 & City slip to 6th setelah kembali dirampas oleh Vios. Utk segment MPV plak (dlm kurungan adalah rank overall):
- (7) Livina - 1,065 units.
- (8) Avanza - 1,042 units.
- (14) Innova - 361 units.
- (31) Citra - 144 units.
To my surprise, xder listed dlm top 40 model pon utk model Naza Ria or Citra Rondo. Nmpknye, Proton planning of launching Exora pd 15th April ni samaada dinantikan oleh pembeli segment MPV or satu petande yg org ramai telah slow dlm xtvt upgrade or changing their vehicle to a new one dgn maintaining whatever that they get until the world economy back to the right track.
Updates on Exora... Sepatutnya ending March'09, sebyk lebih kurang 450 units of Exora dah bole dihantar ke Proton Edar or EON showroom through out the country. Tp nmpaknye the plan has been scrap by those vendors yg have problem with their quality of their parts supplied to Proton utk model Exora. Just imagine... out of 420 plan for March..Proton only can roll out less than 30 units! unbelieveable!! As far as the project schedule is concern, all phase of the prototype plan are running up to schedule.. tp bile masuk pre-pro... all hell broke lose. Mungkin bile volume rendah, vendors xder masalah utk provide good parts. But when the volume start to ramp up... all hell broke lose. Well... all the blame cant be put on vendor problem as well. I give a few scenario for you guys to think about it:
Scenario #1: When u expect to buy a Sony Full HD LCD TV, u will expect the price to be in the range of RM2k or above, right? bcoz we already know with expectation of Full HD + LCD + the Sony brand name carries with it, right? So can we get the quality of Sony Full HD LCD TV at a Weir (ntah brand ni wujud ker x..tp senang kate cap ayam punye tv ar) kind of price?
Scenario #2: When u develop a part. There will be certain minimum time of schedule set in order to produce the part, right? With all the rigirouos quality plus testing & not forgetting endurance test to make sure ur part is quality approve part, right? What will happen if u shorten that minimum period of time schedule bcoz to fulfill ur customer requirement? U tend to take out here & there or who knows maybe risk the quality aspect of ur part to fulfill the customer requirement when during vendor appointment stage u already notify the customer how long your so call lead-time to produce the part (& still they appoint u).
Dr 2 senario kat ataslah among the reason y skrg nie there are possibilty that those yg dah booking for Exora..about 1,600 (which 45% are from Chinese) mungkin akan dpt their MPV later than expected. 1 thing good about Proton nowadays...they do not want to risk the quality part of the product came out from their prodcution line.
So kite tunggu dan lihat saje lah apa akan terjadi nanti k...

Pemilihan Umno..... Tun Mahathir akan kembali menjadi ahli Umno!
Seramai 2,510 perwakilan mewakili setiap pelusuk di Malaysia, Wanita (796 perwakilan), Pemuda (791 perwakilan) dan Puteri (789 perwakilan) telah menunaikan tanggungjawab mereka utk memilih wakil didlm jawatan2 yg ditandingi setelah setiap perwakilan telah mencalonkan mereka2 yg perwakilan sebagai suara akar umbi merasakan yg terbaik.
Isu paling tak lekang yg dibualkan adalah-politik wang & siapa yg akan menang timbalan presiden Umno, Ketua & Timbalan ketua Pemuda, wanita & Puteri.
Lembaga disiplin Umno telah menyatakan dari lebih 400 kes yg dilaporkan. 30% adalah fitnah. Maka 70% lagi tuh aper? Maka mmg teruklah sebenarnye politik wang dlm Umno.
So.. sapa yg menang dlm pemilihan Umno bg penggal 2009-2013? Dah tentu korg dah tau sape yg menang & sape yg kalah, kan? Well.. let gue tulis lagi with additional no. on jumlah pencalonan yg diterima bagi membandingkan sama ada suara akar umbi (diwaktu pencalonan) dgn suara perwakilan adalah sama atau tidak... tapi bukan result utk semua tau!
Timbalan Presiden
1. Tan Sri Muhyiddin Mohd Yassin - 1,572 (63%). Jumlah Pencalonan - 91
2. Tan Sri Muhammad Muhamad Taib - 938 (37%). Jumlah Pencalonan - 41
Naib Presiden
1. Datuk Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi - 1,592 (63%).
2. Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein - 1,515 (60%).
3. Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal - 1,445 (58%).
Ketua Pemuda
1. Khairy Jamaluddin - 304 (38%). Jumlah Pencalonan - 52
2. Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo - 254 (32%). Jumlah Pencalonan - 62
3. Datuk Mukhriz Tun Mahathir - 232 (29%). Jumlah Pencalonan - 74
Result yg lain tuh.. korg carik sendiri ar...
Perbezaan antara yg muda dan suara seluruh perwakilan amatlah berbeza. Mmg... mmg Datuk Mukhriz ade ckp yg eventho jumlah pencalonan yg tertinggi pon x gerenti ble menang jawatan. Dan ternyata die betul.
Mengapa seorg menantu PM, didapati bersalah kerana politik wang tetapi dibenarkan bertanding (& menang plak tuh), berumur 33 tahun boleh memenangi jawatan ketua pemuda? Mengapa perwakilan pemuda terkinja2 kat dlm dewan yg mane seluruh Msia or even the whole world menjerit "KJ..KJ..KJ" seolah2 mamat nie sorg hero malaya? Siap penyokongnye nak bergaduh sbb terdgr suara2 memanggil KJ "Rasuah!...Rasuah!..." Soal bagaimana tu... x perlu ar ditanye.. korg mesti sedia maklum punye ar..... x payah susah2 pikir.
Yg paling best...mcmane Datuk Mukhriz yg menerima pencalonan tertinggi dr akar umbi boleh mendapat undian paling rendah? But if let all the perwakilan & bkn perwakilan Pemuda jer yg mengundi... sapa yg akan menang? I don think that KJ ble menang....
Gue siap ble ber'debat' ngan ayah gue lah pasal KJ ni. Gue guna perkataan debat coz .. x baik la if gue guna bergaduh... Ayah gue tu.. xkan gue nak bergaduh ngan ayah gue? Derhaka beb! Ayah gue ni mmg hidup mati dia dgn Umno. Siap jadi ahli seumur hidup Umno lagi dgn mak gue. Ada kad die if korg nak tgk. Ayah gue tgk keputusan ni dr sudut yg berbeza.... Ayah ckp "berilah peluang pdnye (KJ) utk mmbuktikan kemampuan dia". Tp gue ttp dgn pendirian gue. Gue ckp asal usul KJ ni join Umno & ape cite2 dia. Yg paling penting gue ckp.. apa yg dia buat skrg ni, if diteruskan... akan jadi lagi teruk dr ape yg DSAI buat. Track recordnye dah jelas utk menunjukkan semuanye.
Finally ayah gue jadi risau. Risau bkn ape..risau gue dipengaruhi oleh ape yg dikatakan oleh pembangkang telah meracuni kepala otak gue. Then gue bgtau ayah.."yg bgtau semua ni.. bkn pembangkang..tp org Umno sendiri" Gue namakanlah beberapa name plus yg paling ayah gue respect.."even Tun Mahathir pun ckp mcm tuh". If sembang ngan ayah... mmg x puas punyalah... mcm2 ble borak arr. mcm2 gue ble belajar dr die. dr pengalaman die... Insya Allah gue ble bezakan mane yg baik & mane yg buruk pon hasil dr ayah.
So back to Umno story.. lepas jer dpt tau KJ menang.. gue risau.. Gue risau if pemilihan utk jawatan Timbalan Presiden bakal menjadi perkara yg sama. Alhamdulillah.. Muhyiddin menang dgn majoriti 63%. Byk tuh... so dptlah di simpulkan yg perwakilan pemuda & perwakilan keseluruhan Umno bukanlah sama. Perwakilan Pemuda Umno ble gue kategorikan-bebudak lagi ar. Dpt duit jer.. rambang mata.
Hope that Najib & his so call dream team can rebuild Umno image as well as BN image pada rakyat Malaysia.
& to make it better.. Tun Mahathir make a surprise visit to the Umno General Assy today. Among his words are:
"I came because Muhyiddin convinced me that there will be changes" also later congratulate Datuk Seri Najib on his excellent speech. Tun might re-join Umno when Pak Lah bersara on 1st April 09.
So its not bad along the way. There seems to be light at the end of the darkness after all.

So...itulah among the facts that gue sempat cut & paste dr beberape rujukan utk update dlm blog gue nih...
- Slick Tyres.
- KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems). a-la cm turbocharge or NOS ar. Its save kinetic energy yg terbuang mase braking & use it for a temporary boost of energy. A1 GP ader pakai.
- 8 Engines only per season and max rev is 18k rpm from 19k rpm previous season. Haa? ape nih korg kate? ..well in order nak save cost as well as panjangkan hayat enjin keta F1 ni, maximum rev or kelajuan pusingan dlm enjin per minit kena lah di turunkan 1k.
- Lower & Wider front wing; Taller & narrow at the Rear Wing to reduce downforce, lessen turbulence & improve overtaking.
- No mid-season testing anymore.
So hoping for another great battle between Ferrari & McLaren! For now.."Gentlemen...Start Your Engine!" .

2 bulan nilah yg akan tentukan whether MU akan flop like 1997/1998 when kite leads the table 11 points.. then surrender the EPL to Arsenal almost similar like this season. Only that this season its Liverpool who are doing the damages.
Well... game yg di boldkan adalah game yg penting bagi either MU or Liver or Chelsea. Eventho Chelsea hope of recapturing BPL suffer setback sbb kalah ngan Spurs doesnt mean that they r out of the title race. Out of 16 games remaining (if plus UCL Semi x2 + FA Cup Semi + UCL Final + FA Cup Final: For MU & Chelsea of coz bcoz Liver dah OUT from FA Cup!) Chelsea ade 4 big game compare to 7 utk MU & 5 utk Liverpool (If semua team x masuk any semifinal or final UCL or FA cup). Jadi.. eventho MU ade 1 game in hand... its additional burden sebenarnye utk MU perform....
3 team yg gue rase ble give impak to the title contender this season (apart from themselves of coz!) Arsenal, Spurs & Fulham. MU & Chelsea dah merase impaknye-kalah ar.. ape lagi... So gue rase if any of the 3 title contender ble beat team ni.. Kompem ble menang liga. & for MU.. we need to win against Wigan. Thats is the final toss of the coin if MU performance against the other team not so good.
But jgn lupa...like last season. Kite kalah kat Chelsea... but we still win the title & of coz beat Chelsea for UCL Final...So jgn ar expect MU akan break under pressure. Do not write MU off until the final whistle of the last game in this season beb!

Keputusan AJK Disiplin UMNO: Apasal ar hukuman berlainan?
Eventho its correct that the difference of the severity of the offense mungkin berlainan...but to show that u - as a Party that image r under heavy cynical (wah... hebat tul bahase gue nih..hins..hins) bombardment of money politics... kena ar tunjukkan pada dunia yg u r in the right path to restore the broken image... but instead... u r confusing us whether ur doing it for the sake to show that Umno has change or just to scapegoat somebody so that his political career meteorite rise is held for the time being?
X pasal2 jer ramai yg menyokong Ali Rustam skrg ni menyalahkan kem Muhyiddin yg menyebabkan kejatuhan Ali. Lalu mereka pon berpakat sebagai membalas dendam... menyokong mat taib - seorg yg dont talk in English-a senator (mean didnt won any parlimentary seat during the election thus xder undian dr org ramai) yg ntah camane ble jadi menteri kabinet-berpolitik wang (if not mcmane ble kantoi kat Australia bwk cash berjuta RM)... Is it worth it?
Dari ketiga-tiga calon DPM, hanya Muhyiddin jer yg layak. Y? Die sorg yg berpengalaman: Memegang byk portfolio sblm menjadi Menteri Trade & Industry... Seorg jer yg memenangi kerusi parlimen: bukan DUN & atas simpati PM.... Tun Mahathir pon menyokong Muhyiddin.. and of coz... die org Johor!
If dulu Isa Samad didapati bersalah... kan die letak jawatan semua post yg die pegang plus Menteri Wilayah Persekutuan. .. Y kali ni those yg didapati bersalah tidak meletakkan kesemua jawatan dlm kerajaan? N for KJ... nmpk sgt Pak Lah back up mamat nih... if x.. xkan ble lepas sebrg hukuman? Tak Adil!!
Fulham 2 - Man United 0: Tuah dan ref menyebelahi Fulham
Byk giler keputusan yg menyebelahi Fulham. Scholes mmg patut ar kena kad merah pas melakukan blok ala pemain bola tampar utk mengeluarkan bola drpd masuk gol. Seronok ar Murphy score penalti utk Fulham lead 1-0.
Then gue nmpk ar starting from the goal onwards, this referee mmg berat sblh. asal MU player jatuh ke ape ke (except for Ronaldo ar.. mamat nie mmg suke berlakon. Gue pon naik nyampah kekadang).. die buat x tau jer. If Fulham player buat salah ke dive ke... cepat je die tiup wisel. Baik die main terus jer utk Fulham. mmg sial la.
Then the 2nd goal... Terang2 Etuhu punya kaki naik tinggi time Evra nak tanduk bola Doyd buat x tau jer... trus jer Gera bwk bola then buat 1-2 ngan Johnson & Gera sempat buat overhead kick utk mengesahkan Man United tewas buat kali ke-2 berturut2.
Gue kalau kalah... mcm kalah ngan Liver minggu lepas... x kesah beb! sebab mmg Man United patut kalah. Tp kalah ngan Fulham mcm nie... mmg sial ar.
Pastu to make me maki hamun ref sial haramkejadah ni, bile Rooney baling bola utk cepatkan permainan pun bole kena kad kuning ke-2: Terus kena kad merah! Lain ar if Fulham yg buat mcm tuh.. mmg patut ar kena kad kuning sbb melambatkan permainan. Mmg bodoh ar... Nmpk sgt nak buat pemain MU retaliate. If gue ade atas padang mase tuh... mmg dah kena tumbuk dah mamat tuh...
Astaghfirullah.... tenang an...tenang....
By the way... Spurs baru jer kalahkan Chelsea 1-0. So Liver....? Its ur time to catch us up. Ini jer peluang korg sbb Villa mmg tgh teruk skrg ni & korg tgh form skrg... xkan ble draw kot... If draw.. mmg gue kutuk satu-satu mmbr or kazen gue yg menyalak bile Man United kalah ngan Liver & kalah lagi ari ni... Tp gue akan kutuk bkn skrg.. rilex... Gue akan kutuk korg if... Man United win the FA Cup or BPL or UCL or maybe ketiga2nya.. If menang ar... If x.. gue yg kena kutuk lagi kot....

3rd Movie: Dragonball Evolution
- Background cite tlh diubah. Goku kena pegi skolah (mcm kat USA) and cite ni dah jadi mcm another teen flick where a boy desperate to win a girl heart..bla..bla..bla. Boring plot!
- The only character yg same mcm original version are only Bulma and Piccolo (Raja Pikor). The rest of the character has been change to suits American surrounding.
- The storyline: Ok with a lot of changes from the manga. Started with Go-Han still alive and teach Goku the martial art before being kill by Piccolo yg sedang mencari all 7 Dragonball to destroy the world. Goku met Bulma (while on the same time fall in love with Chi-Chi) then find Master Roshi (Datuk Kame) who teach him Kame Hame Ha and on the way met Yamcha (Yamu) and when the time come for the good vs evil, Goku find out yg die sebenarnye adalah Ouzura (ha? Sape ni?... x penah dgr pon dlm manga) iaitu pengikut Piccolo yg akan bersame memusnahkan dunia...wa..haha.. (ketawa seorg penjahat) ... sorry.. terover plak. Back to the storyline... Then berjaya kawal diri and tewaskan Piccolo dgn Super Kame Hame Ha utk avenge kematian Roshi-After that gunakan all 7 dragonball-summon the dragon-wish for Roshi to back to life-Roshi hidup semula-finito.
- For those yg tunggu until half of the credit line kluar (or selagi lampu x bukak) korg akan tgk yg Piccolo sebenarnye blm mati.
Gue x puas ati tgk movi ni! a bad adaptation from the manga! Jln cerita yg mcm berebut-rebut nak siapkan crite ni as if mcm x der feel jer utk buat movie ni not like Michael Bay yg eventho x minat Transformers dr kecik but provide us a great adaptation from the cartoon version. Semua watak or CGI amatlah biasa jer...harap bising jer lebih...sedih ar. Nasib baik ar Chi chi tuh..em.. how to describe her eh? Hot! (thats the word) kalau x.. buat rugi duit gue jer tgk kat wayang. Baik bli dvd jer...
Overall gue bagi 1.5 star from 5.
Proton Exora updates.. #3
Paul Tan has reveal a lot of gadgets which will be equip dgn Exora Hi-Line antaranye:
Proton Exora Body Control Module
- Battery saver for room lamps, luggage and key ring illumination. These turn off after 30 seconds to ensure they do not make your battery flat if for some reason they are left in a situation where they are on all the time.
- Follow-me-home headlamps stay on for a certain period of time to help light up your walkway when you park and want to enter your house.
- The battery level for the remote key is indicated on the car’s instrument panel briefly when you turn the ignition on. The remote key has a range of 20 meters.
- The remote control will not work if your front door is not closed. The vehicle will also remind you if you activate a remote command if the rear door is not closed.
- There is a door open indicator on the instrument panel that indicates exactly which door, engine bay hood or rear hatch is not closed.
- There is a door opening warning when you reach a speed of 7km/h if any doors are open.
- Tap feature for the signal indicator stalk. This is similiar to alot of modern cars - you just have to tap the indicator stalk (not press fully) for the signal to flash 3 times to indicate a lane change and stop automatically, no need to press fully to turn on and reach for it again to deactivate it.
- Dim-in and dim-out feature for the interior room lamps - Proton says this is better for the eyes at night and it also adds a certain touch of class. The interior room lamps turn off automatically after you lock the car, or they also stay on for 30 seconds and then fade out in 2.8 seconds. When you unlock the car, the room light fade-in in 3.4 seconds.
- Front and rear wiper washer drip wiping - automatically wipe to remove excess water. What happens is when you operate the front washer, it will wipe 4 times and then pause for 5 seconds and then wipe one more time, to remove all the excess water effectively. This is because some of the washer liquid from the top of the windscreen will slowly drip down after the initial wiping, so the last wipe completely removes the washer water.
- Programmable front wiper interval. This can be anything from 1 seconds to 25 seconds. The default is 4 seconds. This is how you program it - you put it into INT and then back to off. Then you wait for the duration you want and turn switch it to INT again. The time duration you waited will become the new interval, up to a max of 25 seconds.
The rear wiper turns on automatically when you engage reverse gear if your front wipers are on. - If in SLOW mode, the front wiper changes mode to INT mode when you bring the MPV to a complete stop, let’s say in a traffic jam in the rain.
- The remote unlocks the drivers door only if pushed once - probably push twice to unlock all doors. Apparently you are able to configure this to unlock all doors at once by default.
- There is an alarm activation history kept but I am not sure how to access it, perhaps only at the service center.
- The doors will lock automatically once you reach a speed of 20km/h.
The doors will unlock automatically once you remove the key from the key barrel.
All doors unlock automatically upon a crash via a signal coming from the airbag control unit. - If you perform any sudden braking at speeds of at least 96km/h, the hazard lights will flash automatically.
Launching date will be on the 15th April 2009. So korg ble ar tgk kat Proton Edar or EON on that day.
Byk ckp yg mengatakan Exora ni underpower due to using 1.6 CamPro CPS engine. Even reporters yg dpt opportunity test drive pon x brani nak kata yg Exora can run smoothly on steep hill. That is why Proton are making comparison between Exora vs Livina. But 1 thing for sure.... Gue yakin yg features ade pd Exora mampu memikat org ramai. Tgk jer la mcm kat atas ni. Mmg awesome!. Last year mase project kick off, I told my wife that if kitorg nak bli MPV, then this will be it. Tp mase tuh my wife ckp mcm2 yg x best ar. Tp, skrg mcm die plak yg interested. hehe...
1 more thing... as I mention in my previous post, Proton are in the midst of studying to upgrade its CamPro CPS to CamPro CPS turbocharge engine making the engine with 1.6l to 1.8l!. So that is why i'm waiting for the facelift version of Exora somewhere next year.
Proton are putting a lot of effort on this model during this hard time. So they are really hoping that Exora will be their lucky charms that will help them pass this trouble time. Hope that they are right...

UEFA Champions League Quarter Final Draw: MU title to lose
MU was drawn against Porto yg memerlukan away goal rules utk melayakkan diri ke Qtr final. Bukan nak merendahkan Porto, tp mmg undian kali ni atas kertas mmg memihak MU. Thats y gue ckp this time its MU title to lose mcm BPL.
If MU menang lwn Porto, MU akan berdepan sama ada Arse nal or Villareal. Atas kertas mmg Arse nal ar ble menang. Di tambah plak Cesc 'ludah team lwn baru ble menang' Fabregas kembali fit dan Eduardo pon dah ade blk, condifent (sengaje disalahkan) team the gooners (kata Arshavin) mmg tinggi.
Sementara tu, pemenang game Chelsea vs. Liver akan berdepan game paling best for qtr final: Barcelona vs. Bayern Munich. Dibandingkan disebelah undian MU, sebelah sini mmg susah ar. Semua kuat-kuat. Kite nantikan whether Gerrard still berani or x kate the other team in the draw for the UCL qtr final are afraid to face Liver. Amik ko! Chelsea followed by Barcelona or Bayern. Cakap beso lagi.
Bwh ni serba sedikit undiannya dan bile schedule utk kite peminat bola bersengkang mate pepagi bute tgk bola:
QUARTER-FINALS: Ties to be played April 7/8 & 14/15
Villarreal v Arsenal
Manchester United v FC Porto
Liverpool v Chelsea
Barcelona v Bayern Munich
SEMI-FINALS: Ties to be played April 28/29 and May 5/6
Manchester United or FC Porto v Villarreal or Arsenal
Barcelona or Bayern Munich v Liverpool or Chelsea

Petunjuk Sunnah Ketika Menguap & Bersin
Berkenaan dengan menguap, Rasulullah S.A.W memberitahukan kepada kita bahawa ia adalah dari Syaitan. Maka, apabila kita menguap atau terasa hendak menguap, maka hendaklah kita menahannya atau jika tidak mampu menahannya, hendaklah kita menutupnya (menutup mulut ketika menguap). Bukan sahaja sekadar menutup dan menahan diri dari menguap (dengan sedaya upaya), tetapi hendaklah juga kita mengelak dari mengeluarkan bunyi ketika menguap. Kerana apabila seseorang itu menguap sambil mengeluarkan bunyi, maka Syaitan akan ketawa.
Dari Abu Hurairah R.A, Rasulullah S.A.W bersabda (maksudnya),
"Jika seseorang dari kalian menguap, maka tutuplah mulut dengan tangannya kerana sesungguhnya syaitan masuk (ke dalam mulut yang terbuka)." (Hadis Riwayat Muslim, Kitab az-Zuhud, hadis no. 7129)
Juga dari Abu Hurairah radhiyallahu 'anhu, Rasulullah Shallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam bersabda (maksudnya),
"Menguap adalah dari Syaitan. Maka apabila seseorang dari kalian menguap, tahanlah (dari menguap) dengan sedaya upaya mungkin kerana sesungguhnya apabila seseorang itu menguap sambil berbunyi "Haaa" maka Syaitan akan mentertawakannya. " (Hadis Riwayat al-Bukhari, Kitab Permulaan Penciptaan, hadis no. 509)
Manakala berkenaan dengan bersin pula, ia adalah suatu yang disukai oleh Allah, yang mana berbeza dengan perbuatan menguap tadi yang ianya adalah dibenci oleh Allah. Apabila seseorang itu bersin, maka dengan itu hendaklah dia memanjatkan pujian kepada Allah, dan kepada saudaranya yang mendengar saudaranya yang bersin itu, maka hendaklah dia mendoakannya.
Dari Abu Hurairah R.A, Rasulullah S.A.W bersabda,
"Sesungguhnya Allah menyukai bersin, dan membenci tindakan menguap. Maka apabila seseorang itu bersin, maka pujilah Allah (dengan mengucapkan "الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ"). Manakala bagi setiap Muslim yang mendengar saudaranya bersin adalah menjadi tanggungjawabnya untuk mendoakannya (mendoakan saudaranya yang bersin) iaitu dengan menyebut "يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ" (semoga Allah memberi rahmat kepadanya). Manakala menguap, ia adalah dari Syaitan. Maka apabila seseorang dari kalian menguap, tahanlah ia dengan sedaya upaya mungkin kerana sesungguhnya apabila seseorang itu menguap sambil berbunyi "Haaa" maka Syaitan akan mentertawakannya. " (Hadis Riwayat al-Bukhari, Kitab al-Adab, hadis no. 242)
Di dalam riwayat yang lain, juga dari Abu Hurairah R.A, Rasulullah S.A.W bersabda (maksudnya),
"Jika seseorang itu bersin, maka hendaklah ia memanjatkan pujian kepada Allah (dengan mengucapkan "الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ"). Manakala bagi setiap Muslim yang mendengar saudaranya bersin adalah menjadi tanggungjawabnya untuk mendoakannya (mendoakan saudaranya yang bersin) iaitu dengan menyebut "يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ" (semoga Allah memberi rahmat kepadanya). Dan jika orang yang bersin mendengar saudaranya menyebutkan "يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ", maka hendaklah dia mengucapkan "يَهْدِيْكُمُ اللهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكُمْ" (Semoga Allah memberi petunjuk kepadamu dan memperbaiki keadaanmu)." (Hadis Riwayat al-Bukhari, Kitab al-Adab, hadis no. 243)
Dalam hadis yang lain, dinyatakan bahawa orang yang bersin yang mendengar saudaranya mendoakannya, maka dia boleh juga mengucapkan (selain di atas),
يَغْفِرُاللهُ لَنَا وَلَكُمْ
"Semoga Allah mengampuni diri kami dan kamu." (Hadis Riwayat at-Thabrani. Lihat di dalam Shahih al-Jami' oleh Syaikh al-Albani)
Atau, di dalam sebuah atsar dijelaskan, dari Nafi radhiyallahu 'anhu,
"Apabila Ibnu Umar (radhiyallahu 'anhu) bersin dan seseorang mengucapkan:
"يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ" (semoga Allah memberi rahmat kepadanya), maka dia (Ibnu Umar) mengucapkan:
"يَرْحَمُنَ اللهُ وَ يَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلَكُمْ" (Semoga Allah memberi rahmat ke atas diri kami dan kamu)". (Hadis Riwayat Imam Malik di dalam Muwaththa', 54/5)
Juga adalah suatu sunnah, apabila seseorang itu bersin, hendaklah dia menutup atau meletakkan tangannya atau bajunya (atau kain yang seumpamanya) kepada mukanya sambil merendahkan mukanya dan memperlahankan suaranya.
Daripada Abu Hurairah radhiyallahu 'anhu (maksudnya),
"Apabila Rasulullah S.A.W bersin, beliau meletakkan tangannya atau kain bajunya ke mulutnya (untuk menutupnya) sambil memperlahankan suaranya (bunyi bersin)." (Hadis Riwayat Abu Daud, Kitab al-Adab, hadis no. 5011. Lihat juga di dalam Shahih Sunan Abi Daud oleh Syaikh al-Albani)

Now after dah lepaskan geram, baru ar ble komen dgn tenang....
Dah la tgk ngan kekazen yg majoritinye penyokong liver... bile liver score jer... yg sblm ni cool po ble melompat gumbira.. nasib baik yg pegang anak dah paskan anaknye pd bibiknye..silap2.. ngan anak skali melambung...
Cerita panjang jd pendek... MU mmg patut kalah..Vidic maen teruk smpai kena red card. rooney maen dgn amarah nak kalahkan liver tanpa ingat nak maen cam biase.. carrick pon x menjadi... van der sar tgk jer gol masuk tanpa melakukan pape utk selamatkan bola tuh... mmg teruk ar.. Liver deserve to win... at least for today
Gerrard dah start maen psikologi dgn mengatekan MU bknlah team yg x bole dikalahkan.. Dgn harapan team yg akan lwn MU pasni x takut and percaye mereka ble kalahkan MU... at least today punye team
But when MU gain back their game style... bring on liverpool, mase tu ar baru tau sape team paling kuat... We still have chance to avenge this defeat if jumpe kat UCL quarter or semi. Coz if nak jumpe dlm FA.. Liver dah OUT
Seronok bukan kepalang kekazen gue.. xpe.. let us see when 15th May come. We will see who will have the last laugh...
For the meantime.. To all liverpool supporters.. enjoy your win against MU

Bandung trip #2
Utk gue, this is the 2nd time gue pegi bandung. Dolu pegi mase still study lagi. Thanks to mak ngah yg bg gue pegi ngan group die. If tidak, x dapet ar gue nak ke luar negara. Thanks mak ngah (and pokde of coz!).
So....kitorg naik flane MAS(according to dania joe yg tomei (comel)) as MAS ader jual tiket yg murah (but to jakarta) even cheaper than Airasia and sesampai di jakarta, group kitorg naik tren ke bandung for 3 hours. Dolu mase pegi bandung, gue turun kat jakarta gak but then naik bas ke bandung. MashaAllah... lame giler mase tuh nak sampai. 5 hour plus kot baru sampai bandung coz ikut jln lama. Mase tuh lom ader hiway like now. So lalu ar macet*, lereng bukit, naik turun bukit, lalu tepi rumah org, lalu tepi ketuk magic*.. baru ar sampai bandung. So 3 hours naik tren is acceptable ar. So smpai jer bandung dah sore. So.. abis ar 1 hari travel dr kl ke bandung.
Kitorg stay kat Hotel Royal Dago, Jln Ir. Hj. Juanda. Menarik gak hotel nih. Murah pun murah gak. Ratenye IDR390K (+-RM120nett) per night utk Std room (Queen size bed). Makanannye pon sodap gak. Nak dobi pon cuma IDR10k (RM3) per kg (if x shilap ar..). Kire puas ati ar. Sbb kat bandung ni..me & my wife x kesah sgt hotelnye. Janji selesa coz yg penting.. shopping! (ei..gue rase mcm pompuan plak tulis mcm nih).
Hotel Royal Dago
Well.. kitorg pegi:
1. Pasar Baru.
-Heaven for those yg nak beli telekungs, kain ela yg murah-murah.. and ntah hape lagi. tapi for ladies.. mmg heaven. for men.. er.. sightseeing kot.
-Pasar Baru nih adalah sebuah shopping kmplx 5 tingkat yg mane tiap-tiap tingkat ade jual berlainan barangan...
2. Factory Outlets (FO).
-Byk factory outlets yg ade di bandung ni but kitorg pegi antaranye Stock Centre, Level, Episode, Victoria bla..bla.. byk ar. Semua yg disebut diatas adalah menjual baju2, blouse2, sluar2 yg branded but cheap. Al-maklum ar.. harge kilang. Except for Stock Centre, yg lain tuh amazingly terletak di Jln Juanda yg amat dekat bangat ngan hotel kitorg! (tau pun dah hari ketiga.. if tau awal.. mau pegi jln kaki jer memasing gamaknye).
-Yg slalu org ckp if pegi bandung do not miss Rumah Mode & Heritage, so kitorg manage to go to Rumah Mode (sebutannye moh-dei) jer. Dr ptg smpai malam ar kat situh... mmg berbaloi ar. Byk choice and classy gak. For those yg memilih i mean x suke kedai cikai2 tepi jln, this FO should be ur priority ar. For those yg minat Zara, Calvin Klein, Burberry, Esprit, Hugo, Louis Vuitton, Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger bla..bla..bla.. pegi ar FO2 yg disebut di atas. Kompem korg puas ati ar. Yg penting sediakn jer fulusnyer.. kompem x kempunan ar.
-Ader gak FO yg jual kasut jer like Edward Forrer & Donatello. Menarik gak rekaan kasut2nye. Cume xder yg gue berkenan.
3. Jln Cibaduyut.
-Kat area ni korg ble jumpa barangan kulit yg amat murah. Kedai die betul2 tepi jln. If x ujan, korg ble jln sepanjang jln utk tgk2.. mane tau ader yg berkenan. Unfortunetely time kitor smpai tuh baru pas ujan. So lecak ar jln.. leceh ar sket. But gue and Joe redah jer. Sbb nak tgk gak aper yg ader kat sepanjang jln. But WARNING.... if korg nak bli kasut or tas tangan or beg kulit or wateva jer yg ader kulit.. make sure korg tgk sendiri kulit ape yg diorg pakai utk buat product tuh. Erma ngan gue terkena... (tp kitorg x bli pon). Kitorg mmg dah nmpk satu kasut ni ader tige titik (kulit babi ar) but mamat yg jual tuh matihidupsemulathenmatikenapukolplak tetap x nak ngaku yg itu kulit babi. x sudah2 die kate kulit sapi.
4. Tmpt makan.
-Alhamdulillah la kitorg dpt mkn makanan yg ok & sedap. Dari hari pertame smpai ar kat jakarta, gue seronok sungguh mkn ikan gurame* yg di masak berbagai cara. Nasi Padang, Makanan Sunda and lelain. Semuanye ok. Harga pon berpatutan. Tgk ar pic yg diambil kat bawah ni...
Dapur Sangkuriang
Cabe Rawit
Kitorg spent 3 days 3 nights at Bandung. Byk gak gue spent kat sana. Other than belikan brg yg dipesan of coz. Yg gue nampak ar kat bandung ni.... almost semua FO ader landskap diorg tersendiri, ader kolam ikan (yg bagak2 ikannye), toilets and most important... ader surau (or musholah). Even restoren pon ader gak! Impressive ar. Mmg patut ar sebab umat Islam yg teramai didunia ni ader kat indon. So mmg patut ar ader surau merate tmpt.
The next time if gue pegi lagi.. gue nak pegi Jln. Cihampelas coz kitorg x sempat nak pegi mase tuh. The 1st time dolu, gue byk shopping kat situ... so kinda expecting to go there...sbb kat situ ader byk kedai jual jeans... and kedai2nyer lagi best sbb almost each kedai ader patung yg besar kat luarnye... dari Superman hingge lah ke Rambo. Even kapal besar and kapal terbang pon ade....
And make sure u get a good tourist guide. Kitorg punye mmg bagus ar... Ekak namenye... Coz diorg yg tau mane yg best maner yg x best utk tourist mcm kite nih... And of coz ar those toko yg die bwk kite tuh akan bg makan or minum or maybe duit pade tourist guide kite coz bwkkan ke toko diorg.
Overall.. Gue and Erma have a lot of fun time. Rase mcm liat jer nak balik.hehe..
Legend:
*macet = jem
*ketuk magic = Bengkel keta yg guna jin utk betulkan keta. Serius beb!
*Gurame = Talapia
Bandung trip #1
Later!
NFC 1 - MU 2; Fulham 0 - MU 4; MU 2 - Inter 0: Hail the best team in the world!!
MU mmg hebat! dari gue nak fly g bandung, sampai ar blk semula ke mesia... 3 games in 10 days and menang semuanye. If Benitez or Wenger.. mesti dah mengeluh kata BPL schedule menyiksa team dia, team x fit nak compete mcm tuh.. bla..bla.. Merungut je la beb! MU x kesah pon! Sbb MU punya back up utk setiap position and semua player x sabar nak sarung jersey MU and play their heart out.
3 different competition... 3 wins. Mmg superb ar beb!.
Yg paling best when MU beat Inter with Mourinho tactical set up pon x ble contain MU resilient. Pre match mane ade Sape brani kate MU ble menang against Mourinho team? Mamat tuh punya record 13 games against MU dan x pernah kalah walau sekali except 1 draw. So expetation is that Inter ade can nak makan MU. Ditambah dgn badi previous UCL winner yg semuanyer terkeluar bile sampia round of 16. But MU are not like previous UCL winner!
And esok punya game pasti menjanjikan another debaran for MU as well as Liver. Gue tgk kat umah uncle gue coz ader bbq & tahlil. So almost all my cousin (majoritinye penyokong liverpool) akan berkumpul nnti. So it will be great! If MU menang... Liver will be out of the race for sure.
Glory Glory Man United!

Artakus: Saga Artakusiad
Well..pada suatu hari...hehe.
If korg ader bace (i mean bace, not watch) The Lords of the Ring trilogy, well this is Malaysian version of that novel. Tp x same ok. Cume the writer inspired when he read the ring novel. The writer, Abg Pat (Ahmad Patria Abdullah) start writing his novel mase die berumor 17 tahun.
The 1st novel is PERMATA AURORIUS. Novel ni berkisar ttg Rizal, remaja biasa kat dunia ni but then suddenly pabila tersedar selepas hampir di langgar kereta, Rizal berada di sebuah dunia yg lain yg sungguh ala-ala zaman LOTR. Dan Rizal telah dianggap sebagai penduduk dunia tuh as their savior name Artakus. Well its a normal tale ttg baik lawan jahat. And dlm crite ni pihak baik adalah penduduk dunia yg bernama Aurora. Dlm Aurora ni ader byk puak-puak yg x sebulu (mcm kite dlm dunia sebenar ni jugak). And Artakus nilah yg akan menyatukan semua puak-puak ni as ape yg dikatakan dlm kitab-kitab Id (kepercayaan diorg). Disebabkan perpecahan puak-puak ni, Morrok-kaum yg diketuai oleh Herakos (org jahat) telah hampir menguasai keseluruhan Aurora dgn bantuan puak-puak yg berpaling tadah.
Disamping itu, ada satu lagi pertelingkahan iaitu between Arasis & Osria. Arasis adalah wat we call as the good side mewakili Siang dan Osria adalah malam or kegelapan. Herakos dgn bantuan Osria hendak memusnahkan dunia. Sementara Artakus & Merkia (ala Merlin or Gandalf)hendak menyelamatkan Aurora dari gengaman Herakos dan Osria.
Korg dah paham or korg dah bosan? hehe...
Cerita ni berkembang dgn bestnyer dari satu novel ke novel seterusnya. Novel-novel Saga Artakusiad adalah:
1. Permata Aurorius (1987).
2. Kota Arialun (1988).
3. Kembar Artakus (1988).
4. Petua Azkram (1991).
5. Puteri Alindalia (1991).
6. Pedang Aurora (1991).
7. Legenda Numerius (2004).
Abg Pat tgk menyiapkan novel ke lapan. Well it took longer than expected. Bkn senang beb nak tulis sebuah cerita fantasi yg penuh dgn idea-idea yg gile best. And bukan senang nak buat gue yg bukan suka sgt mmbaca utk carik novel-novel dia smpai complete ar gue punye collection (thanks kak Nisah!).
Well if korg nak tau lebih lanjut ttg dunia artakusiad ni, go to www.auroran.net.
Ramai rupenyer yg baca novel ni coz if korg nak tau, peminat-peminat novel ni slalu buat perjumpaan (unfortunetely gue x pernah pegi) and kekadang even Abg Pat pun join gak.
Gue bangga ar dpt bace novel ni beb. Bangga coz ade anak tempatan yg mampu tulis novel yg gue rasa setanding ar dgn LOTR. Kitorg (or Auroran or pengunjung Olai Tannon) siap membayangkan if novel ni dinaikkan ke layar perak, sape paling layak bwk watak-watak dlm novel ni beb!.
Gue start bace novel ni mase umor gue 13 or 14 kot. Itupon pinjam buku ni kat library. The 1st novel that I buy were Pedang Aurora, followed by Kembar Artakus then Kota Arialun and Petua Azkram. The last 2 (Permata Aurorius & Puteri Alindalia) susah gile nak jumpe beb! Puas gak gue cari merata even siap pegi DBP and Perpustakaan Negara, tp x dpt jugak. Then ntah mcmane gue browse dlm internet and terjumpa website Artakus.net. And from there on, gue ask around and dpt contact Elaira and Kak Nisah yg ade stok original novel Puteri & certified copy of Permata. So after buying the book, complete ar collection gue. And in 2004, gue sempat beli legenda before stok habis.
Semoga Abg Pat dpt terus berkarya coz not only me, but the whole auroran are supporting you! Keep up da' good work and thanks for making my life more interesting by reading ur book.

So mcmane expectation utk tahun 2009? With the global economic meltdown, byk company yg revise their production volume downwards. Fyi, Perodua dah start jln production 4 hari shj (utk beberapa line je). Proton? So far, diorg maintain jln 5 hari seminggu tetapi tanpa overtime and saturday working.
MAA pada awalnya expect around 420k utk 2009. Tapi byk market observers yg rasa volume to akan turun lagi sebyk 20%.
As automotive industry is in manufacturing industry (manufacturing industry paling teruk effect selain electronic & electrical), so expect byk company yg akan effect dgn keadaan ekonomi semasa.
Hope gue ade kije lagi la harapnya. Amin...

2nd Movie: Seven Pounds
"Its a drama la syg..." Kata gue pd erma.
"Bkn... filem la" Jawab erma. Sabo jer la gue...
Well the movie is a drama and a bit thriller. Pada sapa yg dah baca review die (like my wife in order for her not to sleep during the movie)tentu tau yg crite ni is heavy.
Sebab utama gue tgk movie ni is nak tau ape 7 benda yg Will Smith akan buat b4 he dies. Gue expect crite nie ader mcm crite Seven (Brad Pitt) dolu, but actually bkn.
Crite berkisar kpd watak Will Smith, Ben Williams yg mencari 7 org yg dia rase layak utk die tlg. Aper yg nak die tlg, gue x ble bgtau la beb. Nak tau.. tgk blog lain or tgk movie ni sendiri k. Apart from his mission to help those 7 person, ader la flashback yg definitely akan bgtau korg ape sebab die nak tlg 7 org ni.
Crite die ok la with a sad ending. X sangke ade org nak bela obor2 ek. Tp Ben bela beb. Ade sbbnya.. If nak tau tgk ler sendiri crite ni. OK la. Worth it la tp x buat gue feel teruja nak puji bebyk.
Dr 5 bintang. Gue bg 2 3/4.
Exora updates...
Dr sumber dlmn Proton memetik bahawa about 40%yg dah book are chinese. This is an achievement by Proton as sblm ni jumlah chinese yg bookg their model line up during launching are less than that figures. So does this mean that the consumers kepercayaan kpd Proton dah kenbali?
Out of 800+ yg dah bookg tuh, 20 yg terawal telah dibawa oleh Proton ke kilang pembuatan MPV tersebut utk melihat sendiri proses pembuatan MPV yg bakal mereka beli. Setelah plant tour tu, mereka berpeluang utk memandu uji sendiri Exora bg memuaskan hati mereka. And all of them are really satisfied with the test drive. So hope that all Proton supplier plus themselves can prove to the public that they have change and provide their customers the best product ever!
