Oh Hi Rudeness! Where's your Enemy, Politness?

Today, i faced a very stupid situation where a foreign guard raised his voice to warning me FOR THE FIRST TIME regarding my "noisy bike" that might interrupt the soundness and serenity of this stupid fucking place. SO i write a complaint to the AJK in this fucking place. This is what i wrote:

Hello to you.

Is this a "PingPong Chimp-Paka" (note: i had to rearrange the name due to some circumstances) AJK FB? Well I believe someone who created this fb is one of them. I would like to address my disappointment and disbelieve to you. But first let me introduce myself, im Ashraf living block D and I have just moved here 10th of june 2011. I moved here for a business nature between me and some organization.

So back to the point, Today, on 2:57 PM 6/28/2011, I have been stop for the FIRST TIME at the entrance near the LRT Cempaka Station. The Guard stops me and with no sense of politeness or respect talk to me in a raising voice saying that don’t ramp my bike and my bike is too noisy and I might disturb the neighborhood. I don’t remember ramping my bike like I’m so stupid enough to think that IT’S OK TO RAMP IN HERE.

Seriously I don’t ramp my bike in here because I’m not that dumb enough to do so. I do understand living in this kind of house requires silent and serenity as I’m also live in a Town House concept in a Johor Bahru town. So I do know how to stand up or kneel down where ever in. But what very disappointed me was, the one guard that is lack of politeness, disrespect, and no sense of gratitude working here. IF HE tend to warning me politely about my noisy bike and about the ramping thing (which I didn’t do intentionally) I would never said this or thought of this. But the way he raise his voice, and sounded like mad at me was very unacceptable for me.

Today is my first time been stop like this. IF la I have been stop like a few time and I still make noise that I understand. But this? Cant they be polite enough to serve here? Haiya. I know I just rent here, BUT I DO PAY. I didn’t stay here for free.


please la take note, if he tend to speak like that to other visitor? i think u got that picture how people will judge your place.



FCKK YOU PAKGUARD! FCKK U RUDENESS! FCKK U WHERE'S UR RESPECT!!

Walking the Faded Lines.

Whoa oh! Gosh at first I knew it I, that first word came across me, and it reminded me of paramour song, whoa! Huhu well im a bit surprise for today, with the balls, the life in kl, bout this and about that and im like what the hell? Is this Sunday or a surpriseday? Haha

Anyway I felt a bit of something since yesterday, and if someone thought that I might be talking bout u, na’ah it aint bout u. I felt as if I had made a mistake, and honest mistake, and I had made a lot of wrong moves. But who am I to know that I will make a wrong decision before? Its just too hard to expect everything to be nice and sweet and such. Its hard. And that made me swallow everything whether is bitter or sweet or its just plain no taste.

Ahh.. what the hell.. hidup ini sabar je lah perlu.. oh and pasrah jua.. kalau tak.. u wouldn’t be a human if u cant be that way… awwww…

A Rough Months :(

its been awhile since the last time i post anything at my blog. ive been pretty much busy, going back home late from work, with my life been up and downs like a turntable spinnin around. gosh what a test Allah had gave to me. But i do thank you Allah for the sweetness in the bitterness in life. well now im in kl after quitting my job as a kuli batak in mcdonalds. yeah kuli batak..its been like hell for me there. now i drove my ass back to kl, trying to build up my career here, start a band again, and continue my passion on bikes. whoa, i just need some one to talk to. i cant swallow this alone. i might smile on the outside, but the pain that UA is suffering right now, hurts and kills so much. what more can i do, what more can have, what more can i work on to feel that my life is completed. haih dugaanya.. oh ya Allah give strenght to me please.. oh Faith please stay with me.. oh Luck dont run away from me.. ;(

to my family at home and my bikers family, imysm ,,,,,

Happy New Year Peeps!

well happy new year to UA and to you. i just hope that this fairy year will bring much more happier things in my life. 2010 wasn't that bad but i wish to have more better life and much better person to fall in love with. Love? yeah love, the thing that UA hard to find, true love. Besides that, i wish to be more happier than before. Happier than 2010. and I'm planning some few things like traveling to some place and do some ridiculous things in 2011. Well yeah ridiculous things to me gives some two bits of colour in my life.

would it be nice if my dad buy me this car? Inspira oh Inspira.. ;)

I'm Lucky in some ways? :)

at first i thought, after seeing Despised Icon live in Singapore in another 2 weeks, im like, how the heck i've missed this!
then i thought ok la tak dapat pegi tak pa lah. but after browsing the net, i saw, JUNK post this,

"Junk Alright! For one of three pairs of Despised Icon live in Singapore tix, tell us why we should pick you to be one of only 200 people to see Despised Icon's first and last show in Singapore! We'll be giving out another 2 pairs of tix over the week, so don't despair if you don't win this one!" (post: 166762836669945)

then somehow, i just want to try my luck i guess by sending this to them,

"pick me man! ahh despised icon had always be my inspiration in makin my own lyric and my music with my band mates! first song that make me fall in love with them is " The Sun Will Never Charm Us", just looking at the title for the first time makes me (or any1 for sure!)would want to listen to the whole song! i mean all the deathcore fans for sure.. :)
oh yeah and the full cap, it sure inspired me to wear exactly the same! haha just look at my default picture.. used to wear trucker caps, and aftre seing them, ah fullcap was my no1 choice! (im a cap freak!). they have inspired me alots through out the years and, to see them playing live in front of my naked eyes, whoa! that was for sure such an overwhelming experience for me! yah i hope to see them live, since this is their last moment as a band.. so sad man.. :("

THEN! the day after, i check my facebook notification saying that JUNK had comment on their wall.. i didnt expect anything till i saw them, posted these words:

"Junk Marlon Ingle makes a good argument for the tix, but we're super impressed with Monzieur Umar Ashraff's devoted fandom of the band! Congrats Monzieur, you're our first winner! There are another two pairs to be given away, watch out for the announcements!"

and im like, HELL YEAH! IM GOIN TO SEE DESPISED ICON FINALLY!

darn im so freakin out and so happy for this! :)

Salam Ramadhan!

Assalammualaikum! Wahai para pembaca..
Salam ramadhan kepada semua umat islam seluruh dunia, amnya, dan semua masyarakat islam seluruh Malaysia, khususnya. :)

Huhu diam tak diam suda berapa bulan ku berhenti menaip dek kerana kesibukan perpindahan ku dari kl ke jb, dan juga kerna BB ku dipotong kerna apo laie, tak bayar 3bulan! Hehe ;P

terniat ku nak menaip semula dikala bulan puasa nih. Walau tak da internet di rumah, terpaksa ku post this from a CC near my house. Well what caught my attention to write back is because of, the variety of juadah buka puasa in Malaysia! Huhu mcm2 ado untuk disantap tika berbuka; nasi beriyani, ayam panggang, kuih muih, air kathira (nyum2!), dsb..inilah yang menarik minat ku untuk “menulis”..bermacam2 yang dijual, tapi di macam2 yang dijual tu, ada gerai yang menjual benda2 yang sama. Maksudku, kalau gerai ni ada jual nasi beriyani, selang 3 4 gerai ada jual gak nasi beriyani. Ku terbayang, mcm mana la mereka2 ni nk untung kalau dalam satu kawasan niaga tu, 4 5 gerai jual benda yang sama. Kenapa ku sibuk nk pikir? Sbb BAPAKu peniaga bazaar ramadhan juga. Kadang2 beliau ada merungut jugak kenapa jualan harian tidak seuntung jualan semalam atau sebaliknya.

Sambil beli tu sambil ku fikir, kalau aku ditempat bapak ku, mcm mana nak kaut untung lebih; how to attract customer to buy our product..
Some 2 things came out from my head, antaranya, Peniaga seharusnya memikirkan cara yang creative untuk memasarkan jualan mereka. Sebagai contoh, penah lihat ayam panggang dalam tempayan? Haa.. ku rasa ramai yg tak pernah lihat tp ia ada. Ia ayam panggang biasa namun ramai org beli sebab kebanyakan mereka kata ia unik..dan sedap! Kalau da unik tu sure org suka punya..dan sedap adalah suatu alasan semata.. jadi cara yang menarik pasti menambat hati para pembeli. Bayangkan kalau peniaga tu mcm busan je, tak attractive langsung, mcm suam2 je gitu, kan ke org mcm nak tak nak je beli..tah sedap ke tak kan..

Selain cara pemasaran jualan, peniaga juga seharusnya came out with a identity, a name ofcourse. Kalau jual kuih muih tu, taruk nama sket, atau re-branding setiap item tu, contoh kuih jenofer lopez ke, kuih karipap meletup ke, contoh… make it interesting to customer..kalau stakat open table, pastu taruk kuih muih atas tu, ku rasa xramai yg tertarik nak beli kut.. lain la kalau penjual tu seksi kea tau artist kan..

Tengok saja kalau mau diambil contoh, nasi beriyani batu pahat. Nasi beriyani gam (tah kenapa aku masih xtau kenapa mereka menggunakan nama gam..), Air kathira Abu Bakar, Otak2 kempas, dsb.. nama2 ni cukup fofular ni jb dan ku percaya di luar jb pun sama.. org nmpk je nama2 ni sure akan pikir ia SEDAP! Walau kdgn2 org main taram je nama tu..nasi beriyani batu pahat la apa la tp bila beli mcm biasa je kan..huhu taktik2..

Peniaga seharusnya memikirkan tentang 1st impression customer. Maksud ku para pembeli yang baru..new customer. Mereka ini lah yang akan memulakan Word Of Mouth yang akan disebarkan kepada kawan2 mereka. Peniaga sepatutnya memberikan sesuatu yang menarik untuk diingati; yang membuatkan customer tu datang balik ke gerai kita. Bagaimana? Meniaga dengan murah hati! Tp bagaimana pula ya..ok amik contoh yang ku alami ni, pada hari semalam ku beli roti jala di bazaar di BBU, 1st time beli kat bbu untuk ramadhan kali ni. pas buka ku makan, sedap! Dpt kuah sama daging sama kentang lagi..murah pun murah..rm2 utk 5 keping. Hari seterusnya, ku pegi lak bazaar di taman suria, saje jln2, dan ini, 1st time aku beli kat taman suria untuk ramadhan kali ni..punya la ramai org. sesak pun sesak. Kehendak ku pada hari tu untuk makan roti jala lagi. So pusing punya pusing dgn ramai orgnye, ku lalu di sebuah gerai jual roti jala, lalu kusamabar 1 bungkus, rm2 utk 5 keping. Lepas buka, ku makan, laa..cairnya kuahnye.. kosong lak tu.. xda daging ka ayam ka..kaki ayam pun jadik tp xda..kosong! ku berniat xkn lagi kubeli disitu..kira2 peniaga tu hilang satu customer (aku)..lalu ku teringat roti jala yg kubeli semalam ni BBU..lagi bagus ku beli kat situ je kalau ngidam lagi next time..haa secara xlangsung ku telah menjadi prospect customer untuk peniaga di bbu tu kerna kemudian hari ku akan beli dengan beliau lagi. Jadi nmpk tak, 1st impression is important. Treat your customer as if their 1st time coming to your gerai. And better believe if you’re good, they will come again tomorrow for sure..


Lagi satu point ni, berkait rapat gak dgn 1st impression..iaitu,,HARGA yang terpampang kat tanda harga sesebuah gerai tu. mak aih kadang2 tu ku tgk peniaga ni jual makanan untuk org kaya je kut,,mahal sngt! Sbg contoh, penah tgk nasi beriyani rm8? Haa hamik ko..rm8 hinggit tuu.. kalau beli 3 bungkus, rm24..mak ai. Pada ku mmg mahal. Tak tau la kalau ada org akan kate, eleh rm8 je pun nk kecoh..aku bukan org senang. Series aku ckp dlm sebaris gerai yg jual nasi beriyani 8hinggit tu, ada org jual nasi beriyani 5.50 , rm6..dan aku rasa jauh lebih sodap dari yg 8 hinggit tu. kalau anda da berpose, semua rasa sedap betul x.. karipap biasa inti kentang tu pun bule habis 5 6 keping dek sbb lapo berpuasa. Pada aku la, tgk je harga dia rm8, trus ku slumber berpaling ke gerai lain. Mahal naa. Walau aku xpnah cuba tp bayangkan, disebabkan harga yg mahal tu, terbatas ku nak beli. Cancel nk try ke ape ke kan. Letak la 6 hinggit ke ape, bukan mati pun kalau rugi bape posen dlm 1 bungkus tu. aku pasti ramai akan try punya. Kalau meniaga ni nak kaut untung lebih2 pun xboleh jugak. Cuba la meniaga dgn niat ikhlas. Kalau yang lebih2 tu consider saja sedekah. insyaAllah diberkati dan insyaAllah pulangangya, masyaAllah..meniaga dengan berkat kan.. :)


Huhu so inilah cebisan pendapat tak seberapa tu, mane tau kalau2 ada kawan2 ku nak meniaga lak nanti kan.

Selamat membaca! Dan selamat berpuasa!
