Jom keluar minum 3. Rojak Buah Irene di Taiping
Jom keluar minum 3. Rojak Buah Irene di Taiping
Rasanya Rojak Buah yang paling sedap aku makan ialah Apek Motor Roda Tiga dekat Stesen Monorail Chow Kit KL itu (berhampiran Bormas). Rojak Apek ini ada Kuih Cakui macam Rojak Buah di Chai Leng Park. Tapi Kuih Cakui Rojak Buah Chai Leng Park ini keras sikit.
Rojak Buah Irene (tambahan Sotong Lembik) di Taiping ini jatuh nombor dua. Tapi Makcik-makcik dan Kakcik-kakcik di Taiping ini terutama Cina memang kerumun habis Kedai Irene Fruit Stall ini.
Memang kalau pompuan tu pompuan juga. Ingat-ingat aku tak pernah jumpa pompuan yang tak suka Laksa. Di Irene ini ada pasangan suami-isteri Melayu yang jual Laksa. Sebelahnya pula Nonya jual Porridge, Bubur Ca Ca dan Gamdum serta Talam Keladi.
Dibuka seawal 10 pagi hingga 3 petang dan ditutup pada hari Sabtu dan Ahad.

Jom keluar minum 2, Roti Jala di Warung Sudi Selera Stesen Keretapi Taiping
Jom keluar minum 2, Roti Jala di Warung Sudi Selera Stesen Keretapi Taiping
Sudah banyak tempat yang aku pergi memang tak boleh lawan Roti Jala di Warung Sudi Selera berhadapan Stesen Keretapi Taiping ini.
Roti kirainya ranggup di tepi dan lembut di isi tengah. Kuahnya pula Kari Ayam dan Kuah Durian.
Mai cuba dulu di sini kalau nak cakap ada tempat lain yang best. Dan insya-Allah aku akan pergi tempat hangpa cadangkan itu pula.
Dibuka seawal 3 petang hingga 6 petang dan ditutup pada hari Ahad.

Mukadimah
Satu hari itu (ketika aku masih bekerja di Taiping), orang rumah seorang aku itu membelek bil telefon hp aku yang sudah dibayarnya (dia tolong pergi bayar aja!).
“Bang, sehari abang telefon saya berapa kali?”
”Kenapa pula Yang tanya macam tu?”
“Dalam bil ini, banyak betul no. HP Suhaimi, no. HP Manjoi dan no. Izaham! Satu kilangpun sehari abang telefon dia orang lebih 3 kali!”
“Memang 1 kilang tapi pejabat lain-lain!”, jawab aku sambil cuba mengalihkan tajuk perbualan yang lain.
Monolog
Sebenarnya memang hampir setiap hari aku akan telefon geng-geng ini lebih dari 3 kali. Awal pagi ajak pergi sarapan di kantin. Belum pukul 10 sudah telefon ajak pergi Club House. Itu kira sibuk sangatlah. Kalau free sikit kami pergi perkena Nasi Lemak Sup Kaki Ayam di Gerai Makcik Sarawak Medan Kamunting. Tidakpun Nasi Lemak Sotong Mak Tom sebelah Petronas Kamunting itu.
Kadang-kadang bergilir Roti Canai Basir atau Roti Canai Lan anak aruah Pakcik Aziz Ketiaw Kerang Pasar Malam (Mee Kari diapun sedap juga!). Lebihnya di Warung Mamak Basir ini ada Tosei dan Capati.
Kalau free banyak kami pergi perkena Beehoon Sup Abang Rosli Pasar Tani Taiping. Kalau tidakpun hingga ke Tupai perkena Nasi Lemak Executive.
Kalau perut masih sendat sarapan, kami perkena Rojak Buah di Irene Food Stall.

Kalau ke Taiping boleh singgah Cendol Ansari.
Jam dekat pukul 12.00, mula menelefon lagi merancang nak ke mana. Kalau jemu Restoran Pak Lang Asam Pedas, kami pergi perkena di warung kecil depan Kilang Tiub Everthrough.
Bila pukul 3 mula rasa nak Goreng Pisang di warung kecil tepi Surau di Taman Yayasan. Kadang-kadang lajak ke Stesen Keretapi perkena Roti Jala.
Kalau mood baik kami lajak sampai ke Matang perkena Mee Udang Mak Teh takpun Mee Udang Salleh.
Bila dekat nak habis time kerja pukul 5.30, telefon sekali lagi mana nak singgah sebelum balik rumah. Kadang-kadang Beehon Sup Sharil (Beehon Sup Railway) depan Stesen Bas Kamunting. Biasanya kami lepak perkena Teh Tarik di Restoran Wak Nasi Padang di Medan Kamunting saja. Inipun boleh perkena Roti Canai main-main sahaja!
Penutup (Moral of the story)
1. Kalau tak mahu orang tengok bil telefon (termasuklah orang rumah sendiri), pergi bayar sendiri!
2. Nak mudah lagi (nak selamat?) tukar saja alamat bil itu ke tempat kerja.
Tapi aku tidaklah sampai begitu :-)

Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach.
Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach.
Last night my ex-student sent me an email that said, "Do you prefer life as a manager or as a lecturer? Do you regret your decision to change your career from highly paid position in private sector to so, so paid position in government? I really admirer you dare to change your career at age of 40!”
So, here I am changing my life at exactly 4 months before my age turn 40 on year 2007. I always said that before, I’m going to get the life I always wanted and never had the first 40 years of my life. It’s going to be a long journey but I’m going to do it, I need to do it.
I start my job career at my age of 18 (1986) with various positions and jobs, from part time basis as a contract worker, durian seller, motorsports journalist cum office boy to full-time worker as machine operator, technician and my last two positions are a senior engineer and manager.
I'm university drop-out on 1986 from UM because I spent most of my time in Batu 3, Shah Alam Racing Track. Later after 10 years I come-back to study in Mechanical Engineering, USM from 1995 to 2003. I'm getting my first bachelor degree at age of 35 and a year later I obtained my master degree from UKM. I complete both studies during my employment.
After all these 20 years employment, I told myself, I must change my career. I have to do it for my wife, my son, my parents and most of all to myself.
Please! I’m not tired of living my life the way I have been. It’s just time for change.
I'm not running away from the any places I worked before, Yes, I made a mistake but I'm meeting it head on, taking the steps necessary to make it better, and learning from the mistakes that I made.
Sometimes people think when you dare to change you highly paid career to so, so paid career because you cannot performed your job. You only talk big during interview before people hire you and later just do NATO (No Action, Talk Only!).
Have you ever heard the phrase "those who can, do; those who can't, teach", or its variation, "those who can't do, teach"?
My close friend worked with me nearly 10 years before (currently he is a head of Audit Firm in KL) make some joke about this phrase; “You can’t do, teach. You can’t teach, be an auditor.”
We don’t believe it at all! To us, you can’t do here, you can’t do any where. We were glad we managed to perform our job successfully during our employment before. Later, everywhere he went, good positions offered and highly salaries were showered upon him. Yes, it happens to me too and few more ex-friends where currently worked in petroleum and automobiles companies.
Both of us believe on other phrase; Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach.
Yes, we teach everyone those who want to learn! I teach my friends. My friends teach me. Our boss is our great teacher. He teaches us lots and we shared with others. Not only in our job community, we have been appointed by few authorities to teach and guide our neighbouring factories related to our expert knowledge. All these we do it without any charges! But we are proud of what we do.
Frankly speaking, I must admit that I am still missing the year-end news announcement about salary increment and annual bonus, gratuity or other benefits enjoyed by friends from private sectors.
By the way, I’m thankful (and still thankful) to Allah to let me make that important decision in my life to change the career at my age of 40. With my new career as a lecturer I can spent more time for my family, my parents, my PhD study, my social and welfare works and perhaps at the same time to carry out my duty as a real Muslim.
To those who have a dream to be a lecturer by changing their existing career, the following article maybe related.

Those that can't do, teach.
Source.
Occasionally this saying (or a close variation) pops up in casual conversation. It is a saying of unknown origin which more-or-less suggests that teachers are failures.
The implications of this phrase are many:
if one fails to get a job in their studied skill of interest, the default alternative is to become a teacher of that skill;
a general contempt for teachers;
and that teachers of a trade are inferior to workers in the same trade.
Any professional (in any field) has probably heard this phrase in one variation or another, at one time or another. In the classical music profession, it is usually meant to say that teachers are failed performers.
Teaching is one of the few professions that requires a higher education, yet it is commonly suggested that those who take that career path are inferior in some way. This is mostly untrue of course - a myth perpetuated by misguided cynicism and pessimism.
Teaching is an occupation not only requiring a college degree but also a variety of acquired social, pedagogical and psychological skills. A teacher is required to be any numbers of things at any given moment, including:
a mentor
a counselor
a psychologist
a career counselor
a colleague
a surrogate parent
a fund raiser
an inspirational motivator
an adjudicator
a negotiator
Being a teacher, whether it be a college professor or classroom teacher, requires more than the standard Bachelors degree, but still many view it as a profession for dropouts or people with inferior skills.
A typical "anti-teacher" anecdote is one about incompetence - teachers who teach topics related to professions in which they have never been employed. Of course, strong and weak examples can be found in any profession, whether it be teachers, musicians or politicians.
Yes, the issue of incompetence may occasionally be true but more often, it is not true - or it is an irrelevant argument.
To a skeptic I would suggest this:
If you feel that teachers lack knowledge in what they teach and how that applies to the real world, then you are perhaps missing the point of education. Education is not about memorizing and regurgitating information as needed at a future job.
The teacher's ultimate role is to help students learn how to be smart enough to figure out things on their own - to teach themselves.
A classic quote I use to counter the "those that can't do, teach" quote is from one of the greatest teachers in history, Aristotle.
It is:
Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach.

Negara apa yang kau sanjung?
Negara apa yang kau sanjung?
Mungkin ada yang marah-marah tapi cuma satu saja email yang masuk ke dalam inbox email aku. Aku membalasnya tapi sepi saja tidak bersambut.
Ini berikutan posting aku mengenai Iwan Fals dengan lagunya “Negara”.
(Aku tidak akan menyiarkan email itu untuk tatapan umum! Rasanya tajuk yang lebih tepat ialah Negara mana yang kau sanjung?)
Secara sedar aku mengakui Iwan menyanyikannya demi Negaranya Indonesia walaupun dalam liriknya tidak didendangkan negara mana.
Aku bukannya berhasrat untuk meng-convert-kan lagu Negara Iwan kepada lagu Negara Malaysa.
Aku bermimpikan adanya pengubah-pengubah lagu di Malaysia yang boleh melahirkan lagu dan irama yang sudah tentu lebih baik dan bermakna dari lagu Negara Iwan ini.
Biarlah mimpi aku itu dikejutkan dengan kehadiran lagu yang aku tunggu itu.

Memang tak ada hati perut!
Memang tak ada hati perut!
Orang Taiping (adalah seorang-dua tu!) memang tak ada hati perut!
Pelantar (ram) untuk pelanggan yang berkerusi roda di Bank HSBC ini telah siap dibina. Malah lengkap dengan pemegang railing. Terima-kasih di atas keprihatinan pihak bank HSBC ini.
Malangnya ada yang masih tidak berhati-perut. Parking kereta ikut suka sendiri. Kalau boleh nak bawa kereta masuk sampai depan mesin ATM itu macam drive-in kaunter! Sedangkan sewaktu gambar ini diambik berlambak tempat parking di hadapan bank.
Paling haram-jadah apabila tempat parking motosikal juga disapu oleh pemandu-pemandu kereta yang tak berhati-perut ini!

Hujung minggu dengan Bubur Ca Ca
Hujung minggu dengan Bubur Ca Ca
Hujung minggu baru-baru ini orang rumah seorang aku itu sibuk di dapur. Buat apa pula ni? Tak kan masak sphagetti lagi.
Rupa-rupanya dia masak Bubur Ca Ca.
Aku dan anak jantan seorang aku itu tak berapa berahi Bubur Ca Ca ini. Kalau Bubur Gandum memang aku berdua sapu licin. Kadang-kadang kami beli di Pasar Malam. Tetapi bila orang rumah aku memerangkap ibu kepada anak jantan seorang aku itu masak makanan, kami berdua makan juga.
Teringat pesan boss aku En. Jamil (bukan En. Jamil Madu Tiga tu!), kalau kenyang macamanapun makan dengan kawan-kawan di luar, balik rumah kalau bini masak mesti makan juga. Kalau boleh makan banyak! Itulah pesan boss aku dulu!
Sebenarnya Bubur Ca Ca ini ini mengingatkan aku gerai-gerai bawah Supermarket Larut Matang sebelah taxi stand di Taiping. Kedudukannya bersebelahan Stesen Bas seketika dulu memang strategik untuk tempat membasah tekak sambil menjamu mata. Di sini juga terkenal dengan ABC, Lai Chi Kang (dengan Telur Puyuh), White (Air Jagung dengan Gula Puteh) dan Black (Gula Hitam). Diminum pula dengan Rojak Buah dan Laksa!
Gerai-gerai ini masih ada tetapi Supermarket Larut Matang dan Stesen Bas telah menjadi sejarah.

Nasib baik aku ada 2 tangan dan 10 jari saja.
Nasib baik aku ada 2 tangan dan 10 jari saja.
Sapa-sapa yang pernah bekerja dengan aku semasa di Taiping, Kulim Hi-Tech dan Ipoh dulu memang perasan stail aku kerja dengan 2 atau 3 biji komputer sekali gus.
Memang itu tabiat aku!
Kalau aku terlibat dalam menyediakan proposal dan presentation teutamanya bila date line dah dekat-dekat nak due, aku memerlukan lebih dari 1 komputer. Aku juga biasanya menggunakan 2 printer. 1 printer mestinya Laser Jet dan 1 printer lagi untuk colour.
Kebiasaan ini sudah menular ke rumah aku sendiri. Di pejabat aku ada printer 4-in-1 yang lengkap dengan scanner, photostat dan fax. Begitu juga di rumah di mana kedua-dua printer ini dibeli aku sendiri yang sememangnya kegunaannya banyak kepada peribadi!
Malah apabila kami sekeluarga out-station di hotel yang ada perkhidmatan wi-fi percuma, aku dengan laptop aku sendiri, isteri seorang aku itu dengan laptopnya sendiri dan anak jantan seorang aku itu dengan laptopnya sendiri juga!
Petang tadi selepas kursus jam 5 petang, aku ke kedai komputer di Changlung mencari Internet Switch.
Bilik aku di pejabat memang dapat wi-fi connection tapi kedudukannya di tingkat 3 selalunya mendapat mesej status connection limited or no connectivity.
Jadi aku beli Internet Switch ini yang mempunyai 8 pot untuk LAN cable.
Maknanya 2 laptop aku (1 laptop sendiri, 1 laptop pejabat) dan 1 dekstop aku (desktop sendiri dengan flat screen!) akan sentiasa ber-internet dengan status ”connected”.
Minggu depan aku nak pasang wi-fi connection di rumah aku pula. Taklah berebut dial-up line dengan anak jantan seorang aku itu.
