The Greatest Ever

You know what this man achieved in his career?Held the No. 1 position for a record 237 consecutive weeks from Feb’04 to Aug’08. Roger has played an unprecedented 20 career Grand Slam finals as of July 2009.He also had  reached the semi-finals (or better) of the last 21 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments, a record streak spanning over five years; the second player in the list has only 10.Roger listed along Don Budge, Fred Perry, Roy Emerson, Rod Laver and Agassi as the only men to have won titles at all four majors.

After facing masive serving game in 4hour 15minute, finally he able to breack Andy serve in the final set(16-14) to be the winner. Automatically Roger been crowned as the most successive player in Grand Slam with 15  ittle by breaking Pete record(14 Grand Slam Tittle). You know what? Wimbledon is the place he won his first Grand Slam (2003) and also the place he grab 15th Grand Slam after beating Andy in 5 set match.Wimbledon means a lot to Roger, he is the only men to reach 7 consecutive finals (2003-2009). No wonder he been called as the ‘grass court’ specialist.

I’ve been watching Roger play tennis for quite some time. Last night match was magnificent when two great heavyweight chasing their own target. Andy chasing his first Wimbledon tittle and Roger go for his 15th Grand Slam tittle. For me Roger didn’t react as usual facing Andy serve. He unable to control the serve to get into longer rally, maybe he was playing under a great pressure when people expect him to neuteralize Rodick serve as he done it preveiosly. Credit to Andy that able to push Roger to his very best which result a dramatic final for tennis lover. Andy game have a lot of improvements; volley,backhand,slice and also the passing shot that gave Roger more problem than ussual. Now head to head record is Roger(19) – Andy(2) althought Andy came closer to defeat Roger this time.

Roger also regain his No 1 tittle after been champion last night. Clear message to his great rival that there still number of good tenis player around.

ROGER FEDERER: “There is no finish line. Far from done.”

“All crew please be seated for take off”

Lama sungguh tidak menjenguk blog sendiri… apatah lagi blog kengkawan. Hari ini aku buntu di bangku pejabat. Mengapa harus macam ni?Plan tak serupa bikin?Baik tak payah bikin plan!!! Bertenang… kita bekerja bekumpulan satu organisasi bukan boleh ikut hala kita saje. Orang lain pon ada pelajaran,ada idea malah pengaruh-pengaruh mereka tersendiri. Belajar akur dan menerima kenyataan walaupun segala penat lelah dan kesungguhan yang ditunjukkan tidak memberi hasil seperti yang diharapkan.

Unutk segarkan minda, aku browse koleksi gambar keluarga…Apa laa ci comel(comel mcm dady dia!) ni nak buat?  Insyaallah bercita-cita tinggi dengan keazaman yang kental jadilah insan yang cemerlang.

My PreCiouS

Everybody’s looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be

Sometime you need a different enviroment to feel it for real. I wish I could freeze the time, that moment give huge satisfactory and happiness. Find a place you can express your love to the love one. Cameron Highland should be good enough.Maybe in ordinary life there were too many thing to take care off untill it make us overlook the most beautiful thing  just infront of our eye. You better regret it sooner or it will passed with the time, no one can return it.

So, impossible as it may seem
You’ve got to fight for every dream
Cos who’s to know which one you let go
Would have made you complete

Alhamdulillah… full of confident I didn’t let go the one who make it complete. Now I have 3 precious  that make it all complete. Off course we cannot predict what is infront of us in the future. Just pray to god it will contunie in my favour and make sure; work for it!

Ali(Kota Bharu): Jom main bowling di KB Mall

Abu(Wakaf Bharu): Main bowling sekaram… pandai ke?

Ali(KB): Jangan tak tahu aku tiap-tiap hari training… average score 240/frame

Abu(WB): Dasyat sangat tapi aku tak rasa kau boleh menang mudah

Ali(KB): Jom kita tengok siapa yang kena!!

Abu(WB): Aku tak takut kat kau tapi aku gentar menghadapi  gerentok(jambatan). Semalam kul 11:00pm aku sangkut 45minit

Ali(KB): Takkan kau tak tahu setakat 30minit tu standard laaa

·       Wakaf Bharu ke Kota Bharu = 3km jer…. Kenapa sampai 45minit?

Gambar jam 11:00 malam 11 Dec 2008 diambil dengan telefon ketinggalan zaman Sony Ericson 850i 2MP. Ok la setakat nak tengok kenapa 45minit untuk 3km di gerentok.

PuTeRi Ke-2

Sape kata penjawat awam boleh goyang kaki….? Sesungguhnya yang berkata itu menilai seladang kurma berdasarkan sebiji kurna ‘tawar’ diantara beribu-ribu biji kurma manis. Pagi mesyuarat bahagian dan petang taklimat briget tani. Boleh dikatakan setiap hari ada saje program, itu tak termasuk kursus ICT 3 hari huhu.

Text SMS: “Akum.. hari ini saya cuti notis pendek sbb bawa wife ke hospital”. Hureyy aku terlepas dari kesibukan kerja yang sepatutnya ditempuh hari ini. Isteri aku menunjukkan tanda-tanda hendak bersalin. Jam hampir 800pagi, aku ‘berjaya’ menyediakan sarapan untuk kami berdua berupa roti + telur goreng + air milo apa laa sangat. Sesudah sarapan kami bertolak ke Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab Kota Bharu sambil memaklumkan kepada mama dan papa.

Isteriku terus dimasukkan ke tempat rawatan jam 830am. Hampir sejam aku tunggu,Mama dan papa pon belum tiba, hampir jam 1000am aku dipanggil ke kaunter.’Sila sediakan sepersalinan pakaian bayi perempuan’. Rupa-rupanya sudah bersalin jam 938am. Tak sempat aku menemani isteriku semasa kelahiran seperti puteri sulongku. Apa-apa pon Alhamdulillah… semuanya sihat dan selamat. Syukur Allah memudahkan segala urusan sehingga ke proses kelahiran. Jangan tak tahu automatik aku dapat cuti 7 hari sebab isteri bersalin. Nikmatnya penjawat awam.

Dengan rasminya dia menjadi ahli keluarga baru kami pada 24/11/2008 jam 938am seberat 3.0kg di Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab Kota Bharu.  16 hari awal daripada tarikh jangkaan kelahiran, sama dengan kakak sulongnya dulu. Apa nama patut diberi kepada DIa….. Wan Aimi Arina (Keberkatan Kecerdasan) OK per

Satu untuk Kau…. Satu untuk Aku

Wajah 3 pemuda yang memenangi pingat emas olimpik pertama dalam hidup. Memang gembira tidak terkata! Roger menamatkan sisa gelaran pemain No 1 dunia di Beijing manakala Rafa adalah penggantinya. Roger tunduk kepada lawan yang tidak pernah menewaskannya dlm 8 pertemuan sebelum ini di peringkat suku akhir.(courtesy of Roger unforced error)

Hidup kita umpama roda… kadang kala di atas dan di bawah. Pasti ada jatuh bangun mahupun tersungkur menyembah bumi. Namun pingat emas dalam ‘mens double’ tetap bernilai emas walaupun bukan di dalam acara kegemaran. Kalau dikira markah keseluruhan Roger masih lebih unggul dari Rafa huhu (sorry to say that bro Ainor & captain)

Ini hujjahnya;

Roger = mens single quarter final + mens double gold

Rafa = mens single gold + 0 (not participate in mens double)

Oleh sebab itu…. Roger lebih berjaya. GO Roger GO!

ROGeR & OUT

I’m expecting a big comeback from Roger after lost his Wimbeldon crown. Anyhow the ‘still’ world no 1 look so fatigue and fragile. Beaten by Simon in the 2nd round of Rogers Cup Masters in 3 set. Roger couldn’t hold his serve in his last game and beaten 6-4. Clear a big blow and disappointment on his face. I wonder what would happen if Roger had to play in 1st round instead of given bye.

Meanwhile Rafa look more consistent and solid in past few month untill today. Winners of Hamburg,Roland Goras,Wimbeldon and now Rogers Cup. He keep chasing Roger point to be new world no 1. Maybe this thing put a lot of pressure to Roger which effect his performance now day. Rafa keep improving day by the especially in his wide serve and volley. He able to win majority of net point although we know him as a not natural volley player.

Rafa look the best tennis player now and Roger only can deny it if he can retain his world no 1 tittle. Both player will play in Olympic game in few weeks time. Roger is 27 and Rafa is 22, ‘maybe’ last Olympic for Roger but I big confident not for Rafa. Come on roger you must grab the gold medal and retain the world no 1.

ChanGeD OF the GuARD

Rafa got £750,000 as the new Wimbeldon Champion, the first man in history to grab Roland Goras & Wimbeldon Tittle in the same year. For me, I only get sleepy working hours today. Nearly 5 hours five set match thriller only get to the end around 4:30am. The match started one hour late due to heavy rain and suspended two times due to the same reason. Commentator label it as the best match ever in Wimbeldon history.

I got sleepy today just to see my favorite player fall in the hand of Spain Matador, what a heart breaker tragedy. Roger not able to make his six time in the row winner of Wimbeldon Championship. If you see the match statistic Roger strike more Aces and winner! BUT Roger make too many unforced error 52 cases compared to 27 cases by Rafa(almost double) and only able to convert 1 of 13 break point.

Rafa know how to create psychology winner just using his service timing, completely use 20sec time given. As usual Rafa will stare to Roger,touch his key,touch his wrist band,scrub hamstring,bouncing ball more than 8 times and only he will serve. Roger already highlight this earlier about long time taken by Rafa before serving that may disturb his opponent momentum. Myself also a tennis player which discomfort with people who delaying the game… arghh same as Roger. Rafa has been warned once in last night match by the chair empire but sure it was worth it! Anyhow it still nicely balance & fantastic match shown by the world no 1 & 2 player.

Anyway Rafa deserve the crown. Great determination,agility,power,passion,mental plus marvelous passing shot, powerful forehand and great net play. Everything seems to be in Rafa favor. Naturally left handed player would always have advantage when playing against right handed opponent. Roger cross court topspin backhand will bounce to powerful Rafa forehand side. Technically it much easier to produce cross court shot especially in hard situation. It make Rafa easier to attack Roger weaker side(backhand), its very tough to return high bounced(above shoulder level) Rafa powerful forehand topspin for a single-handed backhand player. Dear Roger, my thought is try to use low slice backhand return rather than topspin(just an armature opinion)

As Roger said; its all over no point to argue anymore. The good news is Roger still world no 1 as he march on to Quarter Final Stage. He will be back for next Wimbeldon and other tournament surely as world no 1. Come on Roger!

Kenapa Tak LuaK?

Ali hanyalah budak kampung lulusan universiti,dia sudah dianggap berjaya sekurang-kurangnya tamat pengajian tinggi(Tinggi tu)! Apabila tamat sahaja pengajian maka kiraan 6 bulan terus bermula. Kerja atau pun penganggur terhormat, hutang wajib dibayar. Pinjaman penuh graduan untuk ijazah sains tulen pengajian 4 tahun berjumlah RM28,000 hutang!!Itu baru pokoknya… kalu dah berbunga sendiri mahu ingat la.

‘Fresh graduate’ sejauh mana kemampuannya?Berapa majikan berani bayar?jawapannya RM1900 sebulan. Usah dilupa janji manis kepada Peah tersayang. “Nanti dah dapat kerja, kita kumpul duit sama-sama untuk kawin dalam masa dua tahun”. Perghhh ayat standard di alam percintaan. Mungkin itu menjadi dorongan utama untuk Ali dan Peah menyimpan. Pada masa yang sama kereta juga perlu dimiliki kerana ia sudah menjadi keperluan di alam pekerjaan. Siap tanya masa temuduga tempoh hari “Do you own a car?”, “For the time being no, but i plan to have it in the near future” jawab Ali. “You better have one because you need to travel around later” kata Mr Jenet.

Berkat didikan agama yang baik, Ali tetap ingat akan hutang pinjaman pengajian dulu. Bayar sekadar yang mampu bermula RM100. Selepas lebih dua tahun berkerja, Ali dan Peah berjaya mengumpul duit untuk mereka berkahwin dalam majlis yang sederhana. Dalam usia perkahwinan mencapai 3 bulan, Peah disahkan berbadan dua. Sedikit sebanyak persediaan perlu dibuat untuk menyambut kelahiran zuriat mereka. Duit lain dah susah nak rolling, Ali terpaksa menangguhkan bayaran pinjaman pengajian buat sementara waktu. Mula-mula jarang-jarang, lepas tu kadang-kadang, kemudian jadi kebiasaan pula. Bayaran balik pinjaman pengajian mula tidak konsisten.

Pendapatan meningkat,kos hidup semakin meningkat, dulu berdua kini bertiga. Sumber yang sedikit bertambah untuk saluran yang lebih. Sejak akhir-akhir ini Ali tidak membayar balik pinjaman pengajiannya. Bukan apa; Kalau tak bayar sewa rumah? mana Ali nak duduk,Kalau tak bayar kereta?kereta kena tarik,Kalau tak beli susu?Minah(si anak)kelaparan,Kalau tak bayar pinjaman pengajian?impak secara terus dan segera sukat dilihat tetapi pasti akan ada kesan jangka panjang! Pinjaman pengajian umpama mangsa keadaan semasa.

Penyata pinjaman pengajian yang dialamatkan ke rumah orang tua sudah lama tidak diambil. Suatu hari Ali tergerak hati untuk menyemak penyata pinjaman pengajian dahulu. Satu kenyataan yang perit harus diterima hutang pada asalnya RM28,000 kini RM28,201.54. Bayaran RM100 yang tidak konsisten dengan jumlah terkumpul RM2500 hampir tiga tahun dulu sehingga sekarang tidak mengurangkan hutangnya. Menyesal dahulu pendapatan, menyesal kemudian tiada gunanya. Hutang wajib dibayar!

SamPai Masa

Tidak disangka kerja rutin (menebang pokok kelapa) menjadi perkara terakhir yang sempat dibuat sebelum menghembuskan nafas terakhir, tempatnya di atas sepohon pokok kelapa di Kampung Kutan Hilir. Tuan punya pokok kelapa bukannya orang lain tetapi nenek saudara aku. Pasti ia akan menjadi peristiwa yang tidak dapat dilupakan di dalam hidup Tok Su. Bukan salah Tok Su di atas pemergian arwah tetapi ajalnya sudah sampai. “Apabila sampai ajal maut seseorang itu ia tidak dapat ditunda atau dipercepat, walau sesaat pun”
