Services beyond the call of duty


A colleague passed this around one day, apparently it was left on his windshield along with hundreds of others one day. The first time reading it, I was like "ini macam nyer service pun ada ke?" Some of my colleagues commented that they have a catchy tagline and we might need to change our departments into something along the line ...

So to those who :

  • might be needing the services due to circumstances you're in at the moment
  • just curious about the services
  • would want to render your 'services' as well, ala...you know who you are , just ada brani ke? ...
could call the number and see how they could accommodate to your needs and requirements...hehe...sepeat-cepat sebelum Harian Metro got wind of it and decided to do an expose about it...

disclaimers :

  • the writer does not know the authenticity of the claim of the services nor whether it was as a prank, nor has he ever called the numbers up
  • the writer is not in any way related to this, it was passed on by a Tuan Haji, hence the writer has faith in what has been related
  • the alleged place of the distribution of these flyers were in the capital of the state with nine districts/provinces
  • the writer holds no responsibility whatsoever about the consequences of those who called up the numbers after reading about it here...caveat emptor..
  • This is posted as to enlighten us about claims that this services do exists and they are taking it to the next level

Mari gi menebas..

No, not the 18 holes type of menebas, this is the true sense of menebas... my parents have a kebun up in Behrang, where they planted durians (D24, D144, Emas Johor & Udang Merah), mangosteens, rambutans anak sekolah, cempedak, nangka etc. since 1996. They have been going up there on average of once a fortnight, but this is the first time after so many years that I had been there.

Previously they have engaged some locals to look after it, but after a while when the returns have not been as what they expected, they have terminated the service. Hence the call up for all their children to help out in clearing parts of the kebun.

Potential axe murderer?



Durians




There's a stream running across the kebun.

Looking back, I could see that most of the trees that I have planted back then have started to produce fruits, but it might be a better yield if we have someone who tended the area frequently. This is due to its locations, where the monkeys have actually harvested the area before we got there. I think wight a few intesive tending session, the kebun could be restored to it full potential.

The hasil : half a basket of mangosteen, some rambutans and one acceptable quality of durian. Maybe the next trip would be more bountiful.

Shooting Wild Life

No, not the Safari Hunting type of shoot. Plus the 'wild animals' are not even remotely wild. It started off on YM, with the excerpts below (or my version of it, nick changed to protect the identities).

selipar : wei bro, ko balik kg x dis w/end? leh join kitorang di shooting wildlife?
kasut : siang ke malam? klu malam nye nak ikut la, x tau la plak sana happening ;-)
selipar : bukan wild-night-life yg mcm tu la... ni d real one ni
selipar : menatang mende yang ada?
kasut : birds, flamingos etc & kerbau...
selipar : tu mana wild tu....

In the end I manage to join selipar for the photo shoot... we started off early in the morning to secure the lighting and places but upon reaching the designated site, it was devoid of any life whatsoever (next time better study the migratory patterns of the bird dulu ok...hehe)

anyway, it the session did not go to waste as there are some sceneries to be captured...


eh...where are the bikini clad girls here?


busut ketam paya




ketam...goreng pun sodap


point to self :- check on the setting before shooting cause I only realised when doing post processing that the pics looked granier due to being set at ISO 1600 ... grrr

For Sale

Due to expanding waistline & family, I have to let go of one of my cars and get a people mover. We have actually decided on the people mover, only now we have decided which car to let go. With a heavy heart, we have decided to let go of the red car instead of the black one and would be putting it up for sale soon.


A little detail about the car ; Honda City 2004 1.5 iDSI, good fuel economy ad I once did the calculations it came to 13/14 sen/km (that was when petrol was RM 1.92, now 40% more). Comparable to P2 Kelisa.

Mileage : 79k km
Interior : Beige Leather

Comes with standard accessories, eg ABS, dual airbags, CD player, tinted. All service done by Kah Motor.

Point to note, have some dings and scratches as per normal usage ( by the mrs ... " Didn't know how it happened, it wasn't there when I parked the car").

Price : Negotiable

If you or someone you know happen to be on the lookout for a frugal car but without the compromise of the space and comfort, you can consider this car. Just drop me a line before I put it up officially in the classifieds.

Aiman is 7

Happy 7th Birtday to Aiman Hadi.

We were planning a modest do for him, but after recounting the numbers again we come to a conclusion that we could never do a modest do.
