Blinking lights

right....this is a guide for all standard 1.3 myvi drivers (and i mean tak tukar rims lagi pon).

Ever wondered how far you can go after the fuel light started blinking?

well last week i was talking to maryam's bf goin back from sarah's birthday dinner. His fule light was blinking and i asked "sempat tak kita nak sampai subang ni bai?" He replied "errm..sempat kot..aku baru isi spoh hengget before i left subang" (mmg sempat sampai la kan) .......he continued "tapiii..aku gi shah alam dulu la sebelum aku dtg KL". GULP!

He's a new driver, so otai lama kene la kasi tunjuk ajar skit kan.. i said to him that i'll usually reset the trip meter once my fuel light starts blinking. And from there, you have about 30km to go (becoz 1 bar is approx 30km) before you have to desperately (and probably start cuaking) search for a nearest petrol station.

BUT tonight, I had the chance to know how far you can ACTUALLY go.
you have a reserve tank of 12 km kawan2!

My Black Maria stopped at 42km after the lights started to blink.

And how do i manage to know this you ask??

1. tinggalkan keter anda dah nak dekat 'e'.
2. ada mindset "dont worry, jauh lagi keter ni bole pegi...lek sudey
3. pegi shell yang along the way.
4. only then found out yang you left your wallet kat bilik kat uia.
5. sedar yg all ATM cards tu semua dalam wallet kau.
6. pegi isi tayar angin alang2 kat situ (do you know you consume more fuel with tayar kurang angin!).
7. bace doa byk2.
8. off air con + bukak tingkap kecik2 (nak save minyak and reduce the drag).
9. keep the revs at 2 at all times (kalau jarum rpm naik turun lagi byk,lagi byk la dia minum).
10. talk to your car, and explain how embarassing it is tesadai habis minyak.(black maria didnt wanna let me down didnt she!)
11. brake as less as possible! so that you maintain cruising speed (ade taxi kene flash mcm org gile pasal tibe2 kluar block jalan aku).
12. ikot jalan yg ada byk petrol station as possible.
13. and pray to God.
14. and bile rasa the car mcm gegar lain macam, take a pit stop kat nearest station.
15. pray to God that you've been a good boy.
16. bile try nak start balik keter, keter gelak balik kat kau.
17. and thank God AAM (Alan & Adam Malek) berdekatan sahaja!

Thanks to Alan & Adam for saving the day!

moderation is the key

Ive been watching a documentary 'The arrivals' (*which you ppl have to watch and i will tell you about it in a separate note) and it got me thinking about ALOT of stuff...and what runs in my mind often is the word 'moderate'.

Notice that Islam has emphasised on moderation? and it does make the big picture clearer. Its best that you keep everything in moderation so that your senses aren't biased and your judgments are accurate.

• Makan takleh nak belasah gile2.
• Nak support your fav band pon takleh nak taksub.
• Nak support Man Utd takleh nak taksub sgt gak
  
• Nak involve dalam politik jgn sampai main kotor sgt.
• Buat bende jgn sampai naik sheikh la basically.

And God did not ask us to be an extremist. Its never allowed in Islam. In fact, extreme-ism will cause us problems. As you know, the Sunni and Shi'ah are both on different ends. But think about it, at the end of the day, we are praying to the same God, same time, and direction. Put away the extreme-ness in you and you shall see more common grounds.

As the economy is going downhill, and NOT a good time to grad, i was thinking on how to be rich. ok la..successful la..but it kicks in, maybe i dont have to be worried to be rich so much. What ever comes your way, just grab and make good use of it. dahla, i dont wanna give a khutbah speech.tak layak pon.lol
peace.

nothing can stop me but divine intervention

Have you had a divine intervention?

well i just did.
yesterday.
well ive always wanted to go to Makkah
to either perform umrah or hajj.
few months back, i prayed to God to give me that chance.
and he has answered my prayer.
fully sponsored.

God is Great.

peace out!

when is my time?

i think about death almost everyday.thinking whether what we've done is enough to make it thru...thinking about doing good to people...thinking of when my time is...and how will i go...thinking whether by then i would have reached my goals, whether i died because of cancer or an accident or just in my sleep..thinking whether i managed to say things to the people that matters to me most..

will people feel the loss?
or will people only feel that one of their acquaintance have left them?

everyday i feel that i wished that i could get to know a person better so that they could get to know me aswell..

i went in the liang again today...a friend asked me.."oh must be your first time?" but nah, ive been there before couple of times to lay family members which had left early.close family members that is...and its terrifying to see where you're gonna end up one day.

that one day. God knows.

today Eddin's mom passed away. i got the call in the morning and went straight to his house. he used to be my classmate and we shared our fare share of friendship moments, and even if i dont hang as much with him as i used to, it feels that it was yesterday that we lepaked. and to lose a mother is a big thing. i cant imagine, honestly. sometimes i pray to God not to see that day and take me first instead. but this is all in His hands and plans. I feel sad that most of our friends didnt go. its either they dont know or they have other plans on today. but its good to see friends at your side. yeah, when my cousin passed away, i wanted a friend to come and eventho i know that ill be busy that day and dont have time to talk or anything, but its calming to see that you have friends that you can fall back on. but she didnt. but its ok. i cant be expecting the world kan.

again, i would like to express my condolences to Eddin and his famiy for their loss.

Al fatihah for his mom.
