Ahlan Wa Sahlan Ya Ramadhan

Ahlan wa sahlan ya ramadhan! Ramadhan is back dude, thanks to Allah for this second chance. I was browsing thru the net to find places to have the breakfast event around KL. Any hotels ke, restaurants ke will do. Bulan Ramadhan kan Pesta Makanan.

While browsing the net, I found this article about puasa. I paused, and I started reading. Not bad la.. Guys, do you know that other Creatures of Allah r also fasting at least once a year?

Pohon berpuasa untuk menggugurkan daun
Beruang berpuasa selama musim dingin
Buaya berpuasa selama musim panas
Ikan paus dan burung berpuasa ketika bermigrasi ke tempat yang jauh
Dalam metamofosis, kupu-kupu berpuasa selama tahap kepompong
Ular berpuasa setelah makan besar
Gajah dan anjing berpuasa ketika mengalami luka dalaman
Manusia berpuasa ketika bulan ramadhan
Manusia juga berpuasa di hujung bulan ketika gaji sudah menyusut


So, don’t complain too much okay. Banyak kan ibadah, kurang kan kontraversi. Peluang yang ada di bulan ramadhan sama sahaja, tapi natijahnya kita la yang tentukan.
Nanti masa berbuka kita makanlah banyak2, nikmati juadah yang ada. Sesungguhnya antara nikmat berpuasa adalah ketika watu berbuka. Gud luck for the next 29 days!

If People Ask You, What Will You Say..?


If you’re single, there are chances you’ve been asked the following 3 questions:

1. Why aren’t you married?

2. Why aren’t you looking for someone?and the very, very popular:

3. Are you gay?

You have two choices. Whether to give ‘em stupid yet solid answer, like:

Virtually all superhero types are single eg: Batman, Superman, and Spiderman (their custom does look gay, but they are not). I just wanna be one of 'em. Ngeh.. Ngeh.. Ngeh..

Or maybe you can reply ‘em with a serious answer, like:

True love is rare. True love is worth waiting for… and that’s what I’m doing.

But before you reply, make sure you pause and smile. Just try to look cool.

Kenangan Itu Organ Tubuhku


Sering kali terfikir kenapa masih tiada pengganti. Sering kali juga terfikir tidak adakah orang yang boleh menggantikan tempatnya. Sering kali juga terfikir kenapa tidak membuka hati untuk menerima orang lain untuk mengisi kekosongan. Bukan aku yang memikirkannya, orang lain selalu bertanya. Terus terang, aku tiada jawapan.

Aku tidak pernah terfikir sampai begini hebat sekali tinggalan kesan yang melekat di benak ini. Bukannya aku kecewa, cuma manisnya kenangan yang pernah aku lalui tidak mudah untuk aku lupakan. Aku kan masih waras, hati ku masih berfungsi. Filem lama itu tertanam terlalu jauh di dalam hati ini. Aku akan biarkan ia di situ. Ianya sudah menjadi organ yang membantu aku untuk terus hidup.

Tidak tergamak rasanya untuk aku coretkan warna warni kenangan dulu. Rasanya tidak adil untuk semua pihak. Perkara sudah berlalu, biarkanlah ia berlalu. Yang baik kita ambil, yang kurang baik, sama-samalah kita jadi kan tauladan.

Aku ingin memohon kemaafan sekiranya roh masih ini melayang jauh meneroka mimpi malam mu. Aku tak mampu mengawalnya, ianya berlaku ketika aku bukan dalam keadaan sedar. Bukan niat roh ku ini terus mewarnai kehidupan mimpi mu. Sekiranya aku mampu, dah lama aku tambat roh ku ini. Tetapi kau sendiri yang menyatakan mimpi ku tak pernah lupa membuatkan kau gembira, aku pun tumpang gembira.

Doa ku dari kejauhan, semoga kau berbahagia bersama keluarga. Doakan aku akan menemui titik kebahagian ku suatu hari nanti...

Jom 'Pool'ing During Office Hour!


Lets pooling during office hour! FYI, most of the Accounting Firms around the world are in their leisure time, so called “off-peak”. However, this is not the case for the seniors. So, let the associates (like me) enjoy it before the offer expired. Hihi~

There is one snooker centre located nearby our office. I mean very near. The distance is just a throw stone length from our main lobby.

Ok, lets talk about the pool game. We (my friends and I) play for the 8-ball game. 8-ball (also called “Hi-Low” or “Stripes and Solids”) is the most popular pool game, chief pursuit of 30 million American players and millions more in Europe and Asia, arguably the single most played table sport in the world.

8-ball leagues nationwide host millions of players, and giant open tournaments take on thousands or tens of thousands of entrants for a single event. (I just read from the internet since I have nothing in my head except for pool game now).


The rules are simple, the game colorful. Bust the rack with an open break, choose solid or stripes, and fire away, pocketing the 8-ball last for the win.


The outer simplicity of 8-ball, however, belies its sublime strategy. Top 8-ball demands more creative thinking than a rotation game such as 9-balls, plus cleverer shot sequencing with precise control of the cue ball, too.


However, be very careful when you shooting your ball. If you accidently pocketing the black ball, you will be automically lose! Always happen to me.


Let me name some of the best player that we have here in my Firm. GFS and Svs people are always competing each other. If I were to pick the names, I think Faizal Nordin will represent GFS, Sa’oud will represent Svs.


But I tell you guys, this game realy suck my wallet like crazy. Morale of the story, off peak will suck your pocket off. Serious~

Living a Single Life


How do you feel about being single? Do you feel you can’t be happy without a relationship? Do you feel that everything would be just fine if you could find that one special person? Do you feel lonely? Does being single make you think negative thoughts about yourself?


There are a lot of people out there that are single and feel depressed carrying the title. Ada juga suara2 sumbang yang tidak sayangkan lidah dan anak tekaknya melabelkan mereka yang masih single di usia lebih suku abad sebagai ‘bujang terlajak’. You better insured your mouth ya… Its not funny.


I would like to state that I am not “anti-relationship” and I believe people who know me will definitely deny the statement. Or even worse, they will reveal the real me in front of other people. Hey, relax la… Tolong la cover kawan sikit. Ehehe.. For me, I feel the reason that I’ve been single for quarter a decade is that so I can learn lessons and gain experience and pass on the knowledge to others. Sounds poyo? I memang simply say, but at least it still sounds quite cool aite? Hehe…


I do not dispute the fact that there are many advantages for being in a relationship or marriage. Carrying the title husband and wife, or mummy and daddy will definitely makes the title holder feel proud. Tentu sekali tidak dapat dinafikan ganjaran di sisi Tuhan tatkala mereka dapat beribadah bersama, membina keluarga bersama, seterus nya melahirkan zuriat untuk kesinambungan imbangan alam.


However, some of us are just not able to find that special someone, no matter what we do. Berusaha, mencuba, menggatal (tentu sekali apabila smpai peringkat tekanan dah memuncak) telah dilakukan daripada asalnya hobi, hinggalah ke tahap serius. In the end, the feelings of loneliness or emptiness and personal fears about being single make us conclude singleness as a much bigger problem than it really is. Come on, please throw that feeling away!
Ok, we need to change! Ya, living a single life is cool and enjoying. But let us start by taking these several steps:

Accept the reality of being single, LOSER! Ekeke… =) But never give up! Just move on!
Make friends with people. Guys with pretty girls, girls with pretty guys. Easy, just be friendly, trust me.
Do not allow yourself to have the sadness about being single. I’m single, so wat?
Do not continue to let your singleness take its physical, emotional, or spiritual .
Have faith in better times to come. Just say, future will be better. Be optimist in your thinking.

Makan Spot Hunter! versi Ikan Bakar Istana


Pernah dengar tak "Ikan Bakar Jalan Istana"? Those place is the famous venue in KL if you want to find Ikan Bakar. People say the taste is just like the one you can find at the seafood restaurant at Umbai, and many more famous places for ikan bakar.

Me, Faizals (referred as Nayan and Wahid respectively) went to Ikan Bakar Jalan Istana to have our lunch there. It was my first time. The location is just behind Istana Negara. If you do not know where is Istana Negara, the best way is just take cab and the cab driver know where is Ikan Bakar Jalan Istana. For us, it takes only 10 minutes from my office. Dekat je…

There are about 3 different restaurants that able to serves you Ikan Bakar. Each of the restaurants has different quality and different style of cooking. Which one is the best? I can't say so at this point of time, because this is my first time. Hehe… However, the second restaurant seems famous which had been covered by several newspaper, magazine and even TV3 programme called "Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan".

I tried their ikan kembong bakar and some ulam. Baru nampak sikit kehijaun di atas nasi. The pricing is slightly expensive la. It cost me about RM8.50 for such a simple dishes. My Senior tried the ikan pari, 2 sotong bakar, and it cost him RM20.50. Mahal kan..? The main reason given by the owners is that they are using grade A seafood (ikan, udang, sotong, kerang) which collected from Port Klang every morning. Among the seafood available is Ikan Pari, Ikan Terubuk, Ikan Kembong, Ikan Cencaru, Sotong besar, Udang Besar and Kerang. I can say that the fish is fresh, as well as the sotong. The rest I haven’t try yet. I will let you guys know k? =) Overall, I think the ikan bakar is great. 4/5 rating. Not bad huh..

So if you don't know where to go for lunch or dinner today, just drop by at Ikan Bakar Jalan Istana to try it by yourself. For those who planning to have ikan bakar during ramadhan, the restaurant will start the operation from 3pm until 8pm.

We, Workplace and Me












Menara Milenium


I’m working with a global accounting firm, known to be one of the biggest firm in the world. In Malaysia, we proudly claim our firm to be the leader of other firms in term of the size and number of clients. Realy ar? At least that is what our big bosses and the newspaper told us.

Building
Where we located? Pusat Bandar Damansara, Kuala Lumpur. Kalau anda pernah sampai ke Bukit Damansara, pasti mata anda akan terpaku melihat sebuah bangunan yang tersergam indah dengan kubahnya yang tampak mewah dan tentu sekali tidak murah. The building is called Menara Milenium. It is not as tall as Menara KLCC, Menara Maxis or Menara Gading, but the prestige and the ummph is obvious. Classy.. as per Yom Sharina.. Fantabulous! (Fantastic+Fabulous).

Sheer distinction, influence and power. Such is the magnificent Menara Millennium on the Damansara Heights landscape… Fuuh~ (puji office sendiri) A structure stamping its imposing authority in Damansara Heights. Menara Millennium, a unique building that has the rare quality of being both modern and classic.

I have been told that the architecture is inspired by the great early 20th century American skyscrapers of Manhattan and Chicago, Menara Millennium is evocative of a past golden era whilst boldly beckoning to the promise of future growth and prosperity. Once inside Menara Millennium its interior projects courtly and cultivated ambience that is indeed a symbol of corporate prestige. Memang cun beb…

Work
How does a company can afford to pay monthly rental in such a luxurious building? The answer is the company must be very rich.

What makes a company to be rich and consistently rich? The answer is a company must be able to deliver good services and consistently deliver.

How to consistently deliver? The answer is the employees are consistently work.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our life. Live less, work more! I don’t want to talk more on this. All I can say, I love my work, I love my bosses, I love my colleagues! You guys make my life so colourful!

The fresh and humble beginning...

Hi,
I would like to welcome you to my page and myself in this bloggin world. Let me introduce myself a lil bit. As you can see from the blog's title, singularsong is not my name, thats for sure. I am just another creature of the Almighty Allah SWT, was borned in 1983, to be specific 11th of July. My hometown is JB, but currently workin in KL, to be specific Damansara. Status... single.

It is such an honour for me to share my views and experiences on what is happenin around us.

Why singularsong? Musicians have always educated people through music, you know even though now a days a lot of music just talk about sex, women, and drugs. Music I think should be teaching and talking to people about important things in life. To live in love is to live in life, and to live in life is to live in love. As for me, singularsong represents me. My status and my passion into music.

Why am i bloggin? I am unable to make any distinction between the feeling I get from life and the way I translate that feelin into the words. It is just so natural that my fingers can hit the buttons on this keyboard to reflect the pictures and stories hanging inside my tiny brain. There as so many things to share as we, human I not a perfect creation. We need each other to complete each other.

I would appreciate if all of you can appreciate my writing. You are always welcome to put your comments, in a positive manner. May Allah bless you.
