2010 - the end of it...

it feels like only yesterday that 2010 came knocking on our doors announcing its arrival. and now it's gonna leave us behind. time's getting short huh?


how was 2010 for you? good bad? mine, i would say was a rollercoaster ride... i wont go into details, coz i hate dealing with the past. some things are just meant to be the way it happened.


yet, i know i've made mistakes and from the bottom of my heart, i apologize to everyone i've hurt and made war with. we may be entering 2011 but will we live through it? that's something we cannot push aside. i am not an angel but yes, i do get carried away by emotions and those are times the devil in me surfaced. im still a learning person, and i hope i can learn to be a better person Inshallah. again, to all of you, IM REALLY SORRY. please don't keep to heart whatever i've done. i don't want to die burdened.



and alhamdulillah, when times were trying, family and friends were around. i thank Allah for the support i've been given so far. and i pray i'll be blessed with these lovely people around me. 

i have no resolutions. i make no resolutions. i've decided not to. it's useless coz i wont keep them anyway, hahaha!!

i just send du'a for health, rizq and happiness for me and my family. and i send the same du'a for you too my friends. korang pun du'akan untuk aku lah, dapat jodoh yang baik untuk aku dunia and akhirat eh??? hik hik hik...!!

~ reflections ~

im feeling quite down these few days. i donno. just too many things on my mind. im sorry i will have to talk in riddles. even expressing one's views and one's feelings nowadays needs to be censored and put in nice words. why? because only other people have hearts. i don't. im a robot what. or better still, im a statue made of stone.

haishhh....

oh to the both of you who just got married, my du'a for you is - Baraka Allahu Lakuma, wa Baraka alaikuma, Wa jamaah baina kuma fee khair. i know the invitation didn't come to me but still i pray the best for both of you. im just too old to bear grudges already. tak lama lagik nak masuk kubur, so nak bengkak2 hati pun tak gunakan. sincerely from the bottom of my heart, i wish you both a wedded bliss till the end of your hayats, inshallah, Ameen...

recently, some things surfaced which really saddened me. people whom i thought are my own. people who won't break my heart and will never be calculative, in the end have shown their true faces. i can't tell you how dissapointed i am. i can't believe how people can just change before i can blink my eyes. and i tot of them as my own. *sigh*

i donno lah. i feel so muddle-headed. i just feel like going somewhere alone. but again, i can't. people will start saying, lah, takkan merajuk. see, they can merajuk, i can't.

all i can do is pray everything will slowly get better. i can't bear the unhappiness anymore. and for the life of me, i WILL NEVER SUGGEST ANYTHING AGAIN. EVER.

haish... whatever lah. yg penting, i'm really sad. thanks for making me feel really alone. thanks for making me feel not wanted. thanks for making me feel guilty. i shall shut my mouth from today on.

thanks eh.

Hotel Review: Kozi Hotel (Danga Bay)

Kozi Hotel
08, Block 6, Danga Bay,
Jalan Skudai,
80200 Johor Bahru.
Tel : +607-2389001
Fax : +607-2389006
Room rates : MYR88 - MYR138
Free Wifi service at lobby

I wouldn’t say it’s a bad stay, but I wouldn’t say it’s a good stay also. If I had topped up the per night charges by a mere $50 Singapore Dollars, I would have gotten a stay in a 4-star hotel somewhere along Pantai Lido.

But anyway, the review, here goes.

Minus – When I called them to make a reservation, they said the hotel is in Danga Bay itself. When we reached Danga Bay, we couldn’t find it. Actually, it’s not in Danga Bay. It’s 5 minutes drive from Danga Bay.

Plus – We reached earlier than checking in time, but they helped us with providing us the earliest available room. In about ½ an hour to 45 mins, we got all our 5 rooms.

Minus – Room was amazingly SMALL. Even for the superior twin rooms. I mean I’m not asking for a huge space lah but at least a comfortable space to do our solat. In my room, when doing solat, I needed to take care of my butt not knocking the edge of a side table. In my cuzzin’s room, he had to watch his head so as to not knock against the edge of the writing table.

There’s no carpet on the floor. And they don’t provide extra bed/mattress. Book your extra pillows early, if not there are no pillows. Me and my sis had to sleep on my car cushions while the dad and mum used the hotel pillows.

Plus – the airconditioning worked fine. Tv was fine. Toilet was fine. Budget hotels usually need keys to open doors. This one uses an electronic card. The wallpapers in each room are nice. But website shows the room is wallpapered throughout. Bedek, only one wall is wallpapered.

Minus – Reception was a bit rude too. When I asked whether they have a musollah at ground floor, she said, “sembahyang kat bilik ah!” Yeah, as if your bilik is like a castle’s room. And there was no mention of where to get food and all that. Although there’s a restaurant beside the hotel, we only got to know of a better foodplace – Singgah Selalu – opposite the hotel when we asked.

Minus – No lift. We have to go up donno how many flights of stairs just to get to our room. For families with senior citizens suffering from leg problems, this hotel is a definite no-no.

Plus – They have no underground parking but the parking lots are just outside the hotel at the doorstep. From my room, I could see my car through my window.

Minus – this one takes it all. At night, I couldn’t sleep at all, because the hotel faces a huge road and you know what went on the whole of that Saturday night? Illegal motorcycle races, or the rempits. Walauwey, whole night ley! I was tired from the activities during the day. I thought I could sleep easy but no, the noise of motorcycles rempit-ing started at about 12am and it went on till about 3am. Till I couldn’t take it and swallowed two piriton pills and managed to doze off at donno what time. I know it’s not the hotel’s fault but when you have ears as sensitive as mine, you’ll understand how I feel. Hahahaha..!! What torture.

5 minus-es and 3 plus-es. You do your Maths. I don’t really recommend the hotel lah. Unless you are really on a tight budget and has kids who needs a bit of rest after the whole day activity at Danga Bay, I suggest you take the family room which is larger than then the superior twins room that I took. I would have taken the family room if not for the fact that all of it has been booked.

But in any case, I give my thumbs up to Danga Beach, Danga Themepark and Danga Zoo! The place is awesome. Especially the zoo. It’s hundred times better than Singapore Zoo coz you get close and personal with the little animals like rabbits, snakes and I even got to touch a tiger. HOW AWESOME IS THAT!

Danga Beach
Nothing much, just walking along the waters of Pantai Lido. There's ferry ride and train ride you can take.

Danga Theme Park

The themepark starts their activities at 3pm onwards. The rides are more for little kids. But I still took the rollercoaster hahaha!! Rides can cost you RM4 to RM10.

Danga Petting Zoo

The zoo is the one to go to. It’s RM10 per adult but if you know how to negotiate, the front staff can give you discount. It’s worth the money I would say. There are shows at 8.30pm and 10.30pm so be sure to do your timing!

If you are lucky enough, you can touch the tiger, like I did! Hehehehe...!!

Danga Rumah Limas

And oh, I forgot to mention Rumah Limas. Rumah Limas is an area where you can get to see the different types of kampungs available in Malaysia. Like Kampung Muar, Kampung Alor Setar, Kampung Melaka, you know, the likes... But this one is good if you go in the day. We went at night and well, you know, kampung houses at night don't look that nice as they do in the day. They are no lights in the house, so sapa berani can open the door and peak inside ah. I didnt pull that stunt mwahahahaha...!!! This one is free entry.

Ok chiows!!

Mawhoum ~ Delusional

you know some arabic songs, especially fast-track ones, have nonsensical lyrics. but this one, for the lyrics, i give thumbs up. and for the melody, i give two thumbs up. and for the singer who look like a xerox copy of Ramy Ayach, i give 10 fingers up. i think this is the only time when i dont hate a singer who looks and sounds like Ramy Ayach. hahahahaha...!! have a listen!

Video with lyrics

Original Video

disclaimer: but i still think Ramy Ayach is way hotter. this guy seems like he's got a beer belly. huak huak huak!
