Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (abbreviated ALS, also referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease) is a form of motor neuron disease. ALS is aprogressive, fatal, neurodegenerative disease caused by the degeneration of motor neurons, the nerve cells in the central nervous system that control voluntary muscle movement. The condition is often called Lou Gehrig's disease in North America, after the famous New York Yankees baseball player who was diagnosed with the disease in 1939. Today, renowned physicist Stephen Hawking and guitarist Jason Becker are the best-known living ALS patients. (wiki)

The affliction causes critical nerve cells to die, leading to widespread and devastating loss of vital muscle tissue. ALS leaves the mind generally unaffected but inexorably takes away the ability to speak, walk and do everything we take for granted. Paralysis and death may come just a few years after diagnosis.

Now a new hero, fitness pioneer Augie Nieto, is fighting his own courageous battle against ALS. After receiving his ALS diagnosis in 2005, Augie decided to transform despair into hope. He and his wife Lynne allied themselves with the Muscular Dystrophy Association to create MDA’s Augie’s Quest. This aggressive initiative is now making history by funding fast-track, innovative research to conquer ALS once and for all.

Its been 4 months since my last post.. boring sial kat opis baru nih. Nak hapdet blog pon takde mood. Semenjak dua menjak ni, banyak pulak website yg depa nak block, nasib baik blogspot dgn wordpress depa tak block.

Sempena ramadhan yang mulia nih, gua cuma nak mengenang balik ramadhan-ramadhan lalu. Apa gaya gua berbuka puasa.

1996-2000 : Asrama beb. lauk stendet jek. Apa yg ada atas dulang, main sebat jek. Tak ada urutan. Gua cuma pasti setai berbuka ada teh O panas. Tu jek. Ikan jaket tuh perkara biasa kalau menu dia seminggu 3-4 kali.

2001 : Tahun ni lain macam sikit. Air, kurma, rokok, air, rokok, kuih, rokok, nasik, air, rokok, rokok, rokok (mengikut urutan hampir setiap hari) . Feel duduk Penang nih memang lain macam. Menu buka puasa hari-hari pon cemerlang. Berbuka dengan 3-4 batang rokok adalah perkara yang amat biasa bagi gua dgn geng-geng gua. (Gua rasa kalau gua masok spital pada ramadhan tahun ni, memang patut. Paru-paru seladang pon x tahan ben kalau 40 batang rokok dalam masa 12 jam, hari-hari)

2002 : Thaun ramadhan yg paling jimat. Walaupun time nih gua buka puasa awal, dalam 6.15pm dah buka gitu, tapi menu gua hari-hari adalah stendet dan sama. Air, roti, rokok, Nasik lemak ayam. Itulah menu hari-hari gua ye. Sepanjang sebulan gua bedal nasik lemak ayam. Baru ada gaya berlemak sikit badan gua time tuh.

2003 - 2005 : Menu pelbagai. Time-time nih dah pandai carik makan. Sapa yang boleh lupa bazar ramadhan kem Askar batu lintang Kuching tu ye tak? Bazar kat Satok boleh lagi la. Kalau bazar dekat Semariang/Petrajaya tu, memang gua tak bleh blah. (Oh, dari 2002-2006 gua duduk Kuching yeh. makanan bazar ramadhan memang langsung tak boleh blah. Murtabak dia macam roti telur jek. Memang 4-5 kali jugak la gua bergasak dengan brader jual murtabak sebab bila oder murtabak dapat roti telur). Untuk budak-budak semenanjung yang nak makan murtabak kaw, sila maju ke Kem Askar batu 3 (kalau gua tak salah).

2006 : Masa nih gua dah kat kl. Kerja Seben eleben. macam haram menu dia. Air gas hari-hari bersama 4-5 batang rokok sebab air gas pree. Sepanjang bulan ramadhan kali ni, gua ingat cuma 4 hari je gua berbuka kat umah, lain2 semua kat kedai. last-last lepas raya gua berhenti. Apakejadah berbuka murtabak jek hari2 kan? Gua ingat lagi tahun ni gua cuma 3 kali pegi terawikh. Tu pon sebab gua balik kampung.

2007 : Kali ni memang maintain. Buka puasa lauk memang bergaya. Kerja dah steady. Dari bazar Serdang, sampai ke Putrajaya gua jalan. Takpon Acong jek yg bungkus. Memang cemerlang.

2008 - 2009 : Bertambah cemerlang. Gua masih tak boleh lupa Murtabak Raja Taman Tun (TTDI). Apa gila Murtabak RM10-12? Sedap gila ok. Ada murtabak kambing lagi. Sepanjang gua kerja TTDI, memang menu-menu dia gila cemerlang. Semua bazar cemerlang gua pegi. (Bangi, Putrajaya, TTDI, Kajang Sentral).

2010 : Gua nak pegi cari murtabak RAJA! Gila jauh dari Kl Sentral nak pegi TTDi ni oiii

Gua rasa, hari ke hari, jam gua bergerak makin laju.. gua yang buang tebiat ke, memang dunia dah dekat-dekat nak hujung?

Semua orang kena kerja. Kalau tak kerja, macam mana nak hidup? Lainlah kalau gua ni ada kerabat-kerabat Sultan, buleh le agaknya sebulan dapat elaun dua tiga ribu. Nak-nak pulak kalau gua kerabat Sultan Brunei, peh.. memang masyuk habis. Tapi apakan daya, gua bukan dari golongan yang terpilih seperti mereka-mereka itu. Oleh itu, gua kena kerja.

Amat sedikit gua rasa manusia yang rasa pendapatan mingguan/bulanan/tahunan mereka tu cukup. Bill Gates pon masih tak cukup-cukup duit gamaknya. Kalau masyarakat marhain macam gua, dah sah-sah gaji tak penah cukup. Semua benda nak lebih, semua benda tak cukup.

Bila dah kerja tu, banyak orang pulak yang tak happy dengan kerja dia. Ada yang kata kerja banyak, luar bidang, kena buat kerja orang lain, terpaksa ganti orang, jadi kuli bos, dan macam-macam lagi.

Gua? Gua memang dah terang-terang kerja gua diluar bidang pengajian gua. Nak-nak pulak baru-baru nih kena buat kerja baru yang memang haram J gua tak tahu langsung. Gua kena kerja stail-stail lawyer, blajar bahasa-bahasa lawyer. Peh, Gila.

Apa yang gua nak cakap kat sini, gua memang dah muak dengan kerja-kerja opis korporat nih. banyak politik tak tentu pasal. lagi banyak politik dari kes isu royaliti minyak kelantan. Gua tak minat, gua tak bekenan. Tapi apakan daya, gua kena kerja sebab nak bagi anak bini makan.

Gua tengah berusaha untuk totally tukar bidang kerja. Gua nak kerja yang jenis kalau gua pulun lebih, gua dapat lebih. Tapi gua tak minat la jenis-jenis MLM. Bukan jiwa gua. Gua cuma harap gua boleh keluar dari dunia korporat ni secepat mungkin.

Tapi, andai kata gua terpaksa kerja kat sini sampai gua mati, atas sebab-sebab yang memang tak masuk akal, gua redha la. Cuma gua nak pesan, kalau benda jadi macam ni, confirm gua akan jadi ala-ala mayat hidup. Hidup gua dah takde fun-fun lagi dah. Boleh membawak kearah mudarat.

Untuk member-member gua, kalau korang still susah nak jumpak gua, tak kira di majlis-majlis keramaian @ kenduri kawen, reunion-reunion mana-mana, get together punya majlis, dah sah-sah la gua masih lagi stuck kat dunia korporat nih.

HELP ME!

One of my great uncle passed away last week on 09/12/2009. This is the tales between me and the great man.

Othman Saad. He's well known as Cikgu Othman/Man. we call him pak chaq. I dont know much about his childhood / teenage life, but I've heard a hell of the stories from him from time to time. He's the man who loves to tell you stories. Not some lame old man's stories, but a good one. He love to make jokes from time to time.

I've spend quite a lot of my childhood time with him and his family. Besides going back to our 'kampong' to visit our grandpa/ma, I'll definitely will visit his family in Penang during the school holidays.

Even though he's a teacher, he likes to do business very much. He ventured in quite some business, but I just remember the major ones like ikan keli pond, some cow/goat farm, and the ultimate is the traditional pharmaceutical business (minyak angin, gamat, ubat kesihatan lelaki/perempuan, ubat2 rawatan bersalin, makjun, etc.)

I even help him from time to time in his business. Of course he pays me quite a large amount of money for that, but thats not the main point. He's a very generous man. For him, money is just a 'thing'. He told me once that he must spread the wealth to be successful in business. I think I inherit the business passion from him. He teaches me a lot.

He loves food. He eat almost every food. I recognize he likes seafood on top of everything. When all our family gathers together, he's the one will provide us the enormous amount of food (actually pak njang also like doing this). I still remember he's buying crabs, small lobsters, shellfish, all in bucket size amount.

He's the F1 driver in our big family. He's a fast driver, followed by his passion with cars. He loves Honda very much, and his last car was Honda accord. I know some of my family would not agree the fact that he's the fastest driver in our family. I know they will say pak njang is the one, but guys, you're wrong. The fastest maniac is well known toksu mahathir, then pak chaq man. Then pak njang & pak ndak.

Still remember when 'hari raya korban', he's the one who always make the 'sup tulang' with tokwan. He's the one who will grill the meat, fish, and chicken. Those are the days. The younger generation didn't experience this. Actually the people who actually will remember this sweet memory will be just me, lon, pah, late paksu, my younger brother, and maybe kak na and shidah slightly remember this.

Then he started getting his 1st big hit. His passion for seafood is backfiring him. Started with small kidney stone, then a big one. Its the size of bath soap. Then he's getting worse every day, slowly.

My biggest regret is I don't have a chance to pay my debt to him. Put aside the things that he buys me. The amount of money itself is greater 30k. NO DOUBT. Last year, after my wedding, he told me that don't bother to give him money. Its useless. He said he can't spend it anymore. And for a man who has passion about cars, he told me this, "Son, I want to see you successful in your life, don't pay me back my money. The day you drive home a Toyota Camry or a BMW, I know that my money back then was well spend".

DAMN! I don't even owned a car up until the day he passed away. What a shame! I even can't attend his funeral due to work related issue. May he rest in peace.

Al-Fatihah

Dah agak lama gua abaikan blog nih.. bukan apa.. gua betul-betul sibuk 3-4 bulan lepas. Proses pertukaran kerja gua. Dari kerja yang syok-syok.. dan sekarang menjadi kerja yang haram jadah tak syok. Sebabtu gua takde nak menulis sangat.

Gua ingat tahun baru lah baru gua nak start steady balik. Ni kira up entry slow-slow untuk mengabiskan tahun. Gua rasa kalau masuk tahun depan, gua mungkin, diulang MUNGKIN bertambah rajin la kot..

Hularsawasap...

Pihak bank dah banyak kali tanya. Kenapa gua dah lama tak bagi sedekah kat diorang? Pandai pulak diorang tu buat pelik. Dulu, time gua selalu bagi duit bulan-bulan, haram jadah takde kabar berita pon dari pihak diorang. Tanye khabar pon tak. Apatah lagi nak sms?

Bukan gua taknak nak kasi lagi sedekah tuh, gua nak kasi. Cuma gua saja je stop kejap. Gua nak tengok diorang nih perasan ke tidak akan kewujudan gua dimuka bumi mayapada ini. Ternyata pihak diorang memang haram tak sabar.

Jangan kata nak call @ sms, dah siap main pandai hantar surat. Kalau nak jumpa gua, meh la sini secara gentle kata mat salleh. Face to face. Ni main hantar-hantar peguam pulak. Jadah apa ni? Dah takde nilai kemelayuan langsungkah bangsa kita sekarang nih? Mana dia nilai-nilai retorik Islam Hadhari ataupon nilai yang paling baru, mazhab 1Malaysia tuh? Mana? Mana?

**Okeh, pada sapa-sapa yang belom bayar zakat fitrah lagi, boleh datang bayar kat gua. Gua ni dah kira boleh masuk dalam asnaf berlapan dah nih. Duit bank dah 3 bulan tak bayar! Mampos!

Okeh..

Kali ni, jangan ada sapa-sapa coba nak nyanyi lagu raya depan gua. Gua memang tengah panas. Panas nak beraya. Going to leave this shitty company soon. Sooooooooooooner than anybody think.

Fingers crossed!

Semalam najib dah umum pemenang lagu satu malaysia. Faizal tahir yg menang. Gua dah start bole bayang budak-budak sekolah agama pakai songkok dan tudung labuh nyanyi lagu tu ala-ala rock keagamaan

Gua rasa, gua macam dah tak diperlukan lagi di tempat kerja gua. Datang kerja hari-hari pon dah macam gampang jek gayanya. Gua rasa macam nak pakat dengan bini gua. Apply jadik permenen residen kat Ostrolia ataupon Fiji. Keje je kat sana. Nak update blog pon laju sebab tak pakai streamyx banggang nih, apatah lagi kalau gua nak download-download movie terkini, ye tak?

Dah. Gua nak balik cepat. Kemas barang. Kemas rumah. Esok nak pegi register kat kedutaan Ostrolia. 2 minggu lagi gua nak pindah!

Gua sekarang..

Pagi keje opis, keje banyak jugak > selit-selit jugak buat keje personal kadang-kadang > balik jaga anak kejap > kuar meeting part time > meeting pung pang pung pang > banyak job baru kadang-kadang > ada jugak dengar projek juta-juta, tapi orang lain punya > balik rumah gua, kadang-kadang terbangun jugak bila anak menangis (lain-lain bini gua yg hendel, gua kadang-kadang je).

TAPI..

Asal gua masih pakai moto berkuasa rendah Honda EX5 je? Orang kalau dah sibuk seharian macam gini patot pakai BMW M5 @ X5!

Baru-baru ini.

Kedai Kopi, larut malam.

Gua, dah beberapa orang member yang lain.

Antara ramai-ramai yang ada kat meja tu, cuma sorang saja yang bujang. Sarip nama panggilan manja beliau.

Sarip : Sibuk beno kemain sekarang nih ye, bab-bab virus H1N1 tu. Nasib baik teman orang miskin, payah nak ke luor negare. Tapi, teman mengharap beno nak mengidap virus-virus dari deme2 sekalian nih. Belom sampai mase kot.

Gua : Lu pesal nih Rip? Virus kejadah apanya? Virus poket kosong?

Sarip : Idak le gitu. Kome semua dah ada virus B1N1. Teman jangankan virus tu, awek pon payah nak cari! Kome dengor si Alimuddin tuh dah nak tambah lagi satu, B2N2 dah la kot!

Semua Orang : Hahaha! Macam Gampang!

**Makin ramai dah member-member gua yang telah dirasuki virus B1N1 ni.

Time nih gua tengah sibuk menjalani peperiksaan SPM dengan gigih. Agaknya semua orang dah tau yang gua dulu sekolah agama. Gua boleh ingat lagi, paper last adalah paper Bahasa Arab Tinggi, dalam bulan puasa.

Mail : Weh, dah last paper ni. Kena celebrate.

Gua : Celebrate kejadah apa? Nak pesta-pesta nih penat la bulan-bulan puasa nih.

Mail : Alah, budak-budak lain semua dah plan. Hang takkan tak mau join kot. Tak rock la macam ni.

Huh. Si Mail berjaya mencabar gua dengan menggunakan perkataan rock. Gua memang pantang orang main-main dengan perkataan rock nih.

Gua : Okeh set. Gua join. Tapi, apakebendanya yang kita nak buat?

Mail : Kita semua tak payah nak puasa besok masa paper Arab.

**Macam gampang bila agak ramai budak laki tak puasa esoknya itu. Gua rasa itu bahana ramai yang kantoi paper Bahasa Arab Tinggi
