Third Time Lucky

As I have posted news about Shahrukh Khan's planned arrival to Melaka for his Datukship conferment ceremony and then the postponement, I am compelled to inform here again that the Bollywood Datuk is coming after all.

He will be in Melaka for one day on December 6th to attend the special majlis penganugerahan.

Let's hope there will be no more postponement. Heard also that his main menu is tandoori chicken.

Datuk Shahrukh Can't Come Afterall...

Heard the latest news that Shahrukh Khan is not coming to Melaka to receive his Datukship planned for November 29 because of his busy work schedule.

Scores of his fans here will be disappointed. Many will be hoping that he will come on another date, that's for sure.

This guy is proving to be an elusive hero.

My Dream Machine

It's not a car. It's not exactly a motorbike. It's a combination of both. It is called the Spyder! And my Honda No Door is under threat by the launching of this masterpiece soon.

The Spyder is a three-wheeler, a gem of a bike, a dream of bikers anywhere in the world. With two front wheels and a rear one, the Spyder is so sporty you just can't help but admire it in awe. Powered by a 1000cc engine, it boasts the suspension of a sports car, state-of-the-art control panels and fine finishing touches. In short, the Spyder is to the bike world what Ferrari is to the motorcar fraternity.

Made in Canada, the Spyder demands a whopping (whipping?) RM96K! So even trading in my C70 and Modenas Elite 150 is still not enough to pay for its downpayment. Alas, the Spyder remains (and will remain for a long, long time) a beautiful dream...

If there is any consolation, the towkay at the dealer shop has kindly allowed me to pose by his prized possesion. And it was enough to make me feel like Spyderman!

So if you want to see the Spyder and inspect its full features, rush to the bike shop (only the big one selling big bikes) in case there is one on display!

Datuk Shahrukh Khan is definitely coming...

Yes, the man is coming at the end of the month to personally receive his Datukship from the TYT of Melaka. The majlis penganugerahan is exclusively for him.

After all the euphoria and haiya, the Bollywood heart throb is finally coming to this World Heritage City. Never mind the controversies surrounding the conferment, Shahrukh Khan is sure to draw in the crowd when he visits the many interesting places of Melaka.

Its true what they say. In the world of cinematography, everything is possible.

Who's next?

Sing Away The Blues The Feliciano Way...

As you would most probably agree, Monday is always blue. I am feeling semonel (emotional). So I have decided to layan that feeling by going down memory lane thru the beautiful songs of the blind Puerto Rican singer whom I adore, none other than Jose Feliciano.

So with the help of the savvy hands of my daugther Ika, I have created a minipod that contains Jose's songs. Golden numbers like "Once There Was A Love", "Love Comes From The Most Unexpected Places", "Angela" etc.

Though the buffering might be annoying, the pure magic of Jose and his love ballads (not to mention his guitar) will hopefully put the blues behind.

Enjoy!

Along Will Do Anything...

Saw this illegal sign on the way to the office this morning. Your guess is as good as mine. Its along's way of luring victims. Can see this at various spots especially at traffic lights where people can see clearly.

The pengguna authority should make their rounds and take these down. That's the least they could do if they really want to tolong. Are you with me?

Nam Menjunam Halimunam

Gambar Perhiasan - Matahari menjunam di pantai Port Dickson

(nothing to do with "menjunam" as in my new blog name)

Nam menjunam halimunam!

What on earth does that mean? I don't know myself. Heard it sometime ago in Sibu, uttered by someone and I thought it sounded very funny!

When I woke up this morning, I decide to post it in cyberspace for who knows someone out there might somehow know its meaning (if there is a meaning). So what is more appropriate than using it to rename my blog.

That's all there is to it.

Nam menjunam halimunam!

Mengaku Tidak Bersalah or Tidak Mengaku Salah

This phrase has been bugging me. We read it in the papers, we hear it on TV notably in news covering court cases. And its very agitating. Its the phrase mengaku tidak bersalah or in English pleaded not guilty. I am not an expert in Bahasa Malaysia but hearing or reading mengaku tidak bersalah is just not right. It just doesn't sound right.

Consider these sentences:

1. Ali mengaku tidak bersalah melanggar seekor lembu hingga mati.

2. Ali tidak mengaku salah melanggar seekor lembu hingga mati.

I still believe sentence number 2 sounds better. Can anybody prove me wrong? I am open to clarification and it better be good!

Honda No-Door

My old faithful, the Honda C70 which has served me for many years has recently been given a new name by a friend from Alor Gajah.

I was passing him by the other day when the old man shouted', "Look! here comes Honda no-door!"

Apparently this officer is driving a four-door Honda Accord. Another friend of his is driving a Honda two-door model. So on seeing my motorbike, he conveniently called it Honda no-door (for the obvious reason). Come to think about it, true also!

Hoping that the price of petrol will go lower. Enjoy the ride. Feel the breeze.

By the way the number is nice to look at but if used (for yunno what) got to pay ...%!

Cheers!
