iDOLA ku...

objek yg dipegang najib di atas lah yang menyibukkan diriku sejak kebalakangan ini...

bye TCRS, hi MIMOS...

yesterday was my last day working with chicken rice shop... it was an unforgettable experience for me though it was only a 6-week period of part time job... made lots of friends, met all sort of people and learnt so many new things...

starting next wednesday, i'll be in Mimos for my practical training... don't know much on what to expect being an engineering intern, but 1 thing for sure, next 6-month will include many observations, plenty of testings and tonnes of calculations... no more taking orders and wiping tables for me... sigh...

siri seram2 kuku: penunggu...

semenjak aku habis sekolah, macam2 kerja aku pernah buat... walaupun part time dan tempoh masa paling lama pon 6 bulan, tapi cukup banyak memberi kesan pada aku... antara pekerjaan yang bertuah sebab dapat aku untuk melaksanakannya:

• sales assistant - 2 supermarket yang berbeza, satu dah bangkrap anak taukey songlap $
  
• general worker kilang - skop kerja meliputi sesimple housekeeping hingga secomplicated pasang mesin sebesar rumah, kenangan manis pernah terpaksa kerja dari 8pagi - 2pagi nonstop
  
• pump attendant - hijau merah baru lama, tahap bangla
• language counselor - position cam gempak kan? padahal hanyalah salesman penjual alat bantuan belajar bahasa ala linguafon
• paper checker - untuk Kumon bukan kuman, kerja senang gila tanda kerja rumah budak sekolah rendah
  
• brader burger - pencapaian terbaik aku adalah setting 27 daging special serentak, ada bran?
  
• banquet staff - jadi kuli hotel bagi makan cina kahwin dan annual dinner kilang
  
• steward - bukan dalam kapal terbang tapi panggung wayang, yang koyak tiket korang beli mahal2 dan bawak torch light ke hulu ke hilir dalam gsc seberang jaya dulu tu aku la
• waiter - Secret Recipe Taman Universiti Skudai, Fisherman's Grill Sg Ara Penang, Renela Cafe Sek9 Shah Alam dan terkini The Chicken Rice Shop Bukan Sekadar Nasi Ayam pok3
  

hari ini, genap seminggu aku kerja sebagai penunggu aka waiter di The Chicken Rice Shop plaza shah alam... part time je, rm4 sejam... dari duduk saja cuti2 sem ni, baik aku kerja... dapat duit tu memang lah motivasi utama, tapi selain daripada tu, pada aku banyak kebaikan buat kerja part time time2 cuti belajar ni...

pertama sekali, pengalaman la... duduk dalam tempurung kelas tu memang lah dapat ilmu, tapi setakat tu je la... ilmu untuk hidup takkan dapat nya... pengalaman paling best, aku pernah survive 2 minggu makan roti burger expired sahaja tiap2 hari... cam mat saleh makan roti je tak makan nasi, sengkek punya pasal... time kerja jugak dapat bergaul dengan macam2 jenis orang, macam2 tahap pemikiran... otak ada sikit bukak la...

aku paling suka kerja waiter, sebab kerja ni boleh melatih kesabaran... apa kau ingat senang nak tahan maki kalau salah hantar order? itu belum kira tumpahkan air atas customer lagi... tapi itu semua dugaan2 zaman dolu2, time awal2 aku berkecimpung dalam seni menatang juadah ni... sekarang alhamdulillah takde silap ambik order atau tumpah2 dah... dan aku juga semakin sabar, dah kurang baran dari dulu... dolu2 tau nak meletup je, tak padan kecik...

aku juga menyalahgunakan kerja part time untuk berlatih bercakap, build up soft skills and confidence level... dulu aku agak malu nak bercakap dengan orang tak kenal, especially dalam english... sekarang alhamdulillah boleh la sket2... setakat nak kencing mat saleh sesat tu boleh la... dan aku juga boleh praktis mandarin aku, maklumlah dan 14 tahun aku tinggalkan SRJK (C) Chung Ching kesayangan aku tu... paling best time jadi waiter dan ada customer cina yang tak tau aku faham apa dia cakap... macam2 rahsia boleh dengar... manyak syiok...

banyak lagi sebenarnya kebaikan buat part time ni, tapi aku tulis panjang2 pon bukan ada orang nak baca sangat... apa2 pon nasihat aku kepada yang masih belajar, cari la kerja part time time2 cuti ni walaupun bapak kau kaya raya, tahap ada Hummer tapi pakai untuk angkat buah sawit atau mempergunakan wang kertas untuk balut tembakau bikin lenteng... sesungguhnya pengalaman hidup itu tidak dapat dijual beli, ia tiada di tepian pantai, iman adalah mutiara... tak percaya tanya kumpulan Raihan...

Do Video Games Make Kids Smarter?

i couldn't help myself from overhearing a conversation between an angry mom with her son in the cafe today... she was all mad about her son asking her to buy him a PS2... judging from the way they dress and phones they use, i think it's not that they can't afford it, but maybe 'buying video games' is just not in the family's to-do list...

i played video games ever since i was a little kid... the best console at that time only have like 64bit of memory, with games like contra, mario bros, bomberman and many others that are capable to make me (and sometimes my abah too) glued to the screen for hours... while the graphics are unrealistic, 2D and slightly disporpotionate sometimes, nevertheless these video games never failed to captivate me... thanks to my understanding parents, i was able to venture into the virtual world of video games...

however, not all parents are as understanding as my abah and mak... some of these parents don't even allow their kids to get close to any gaming devices, let alone buying them one... they believe that playing video games are just a waste of time... but does experts say so? guess not... read here

from atari to wii, video games console has evolved and changed a lot... the graphics of today's video games are so real, sometimes it scares the hell out of me... can't wait to rock with the new guitar hero series... being jamming to GH3 for quite sometimes... here is a pic of my nephew with his flying-v, playing guitar hero on wii... amirul rocks!
