Once upon a time…there was a boy who sailed from his kampong
to unknown place, with a hope of making a new better life. Moving to a strange
territory, meeting new faces, leaving home, family and friends… and the worst
is anxiety about the future is too horrified to be grasped by a lad. Life at
the beginning of the new land wasn’t a pleasant experience..But he was a strong
and flamboyant boy... whom talked loud about his dreams regardless all the
scrutinizes of others.
At wee hour..he woke up and starts walking to nearby town to
sell local fruit, mostly guavas. Placing
the fruits on a piece old cloth..he starts his routine gingerly, call out
passerby to buy his fruits. He did this with no complaint and fuss even though
the profit wasn’t much. he save bit of his meager earnings daily without
failed..he was a very determined boy.. food never wasted.. leftover consumed
even when the leftover rice was full of ants. Some leftover will be eaten in
dark, purposely to avoid seeing the numerous ants in the food.
Little by little he managed to save and enlarged his
roadside stall. Until one day he told friend that he wants to buy a bullock
cart and venture rubber trading..buying from kampong people and becoming middle
man. This too has been scrutinized by most..at that time there were no Malay
people becoming middle man..what more owned a bullock cart. But he didn’t flinch
from his decision and moved ahead with the plan.
The rubber trading went so well and that point of juncture
he had to employed many assistant to assist his business. The flamboyant boy
was no more boy anymore..he is one of the rich man in kajang. By virtue of
having so much money has had opened up other opportunity..there were so many
people whom came to borrow money from him. In return, these people had
mortgaged the land title to him..and most of them had failed to payback which
eventually has made him the new owner of these lands… and he became Orang Kaya
Kajang……… Gen 3 Orang Kaya Kajang are on the way...to becoming one!!!!
Berita cemas... semalam 4/9/2012 hujan bermula pada sekitar jam 3.45 ptg dan sgt lebat.. Kira2 jam 6.40ptg kawasan parking kereta dpn umah mak bula dibanjiri selepas longkang sekitarnya tidak dapat menampung lambakan air2 yang melimpah ruah... Pada asalnya Black menyatakan seperti air tidak naik, tetapi jangkaan black salah kerana air naik dgn mendadak... Saya, black, abg adi dan ipoi serta merta cuba mengalihkan kenderaan secepat mungkin daripada ditenggelami air. Air hampir2 lagi seinci nak masuk pintu keta (paras bwh lutut) dan nasib baik kereta2 sempat di alihkan tanpa sebarang masalah... Kalau tidak mmg MASAK la company nak overhaul kira2 6 kereta yg di bahagian tanah rendah ketika itu (wlr, jgw, wvr 2086, wvr 4992, wrx)
air naik mendadak
yg parking mcm bdu ni je ada 3 yg hampir2 air masuk dlm kete (bdu tanah tinggi skit)
dah macam sungai.... air dari taman pmainan turun...
air melimpah dari longkang keluar...
nasib baik kira2 jam 7.30 hujan mula brenti... kalau x BDU mmg x dapat diselamatkan... (bateri xda, nak tolak x bergerak sbb tyr pancit...)
Thousand
miles journey..life is likes a journey..some are good and others are rough.
Only the tough get going whilst lots stranded and not moving or perhaps
crawling forward at a snail’s pace. This morning whilst driving to work place, I
encountered with few trucks..they were massive and look intimidating..hence vehicles
on the other direction gives way and
making the journey effortless as compared to undersized vehicle...capcai 70cc
for instant..whom anxiously tread their way and always at the mercy of other
road user (quote; YTC words). This has made me pondered big is might, thus
might always right and have right over weakling..jungle rules..the facts that we
need to utilised big ‘vehicles’ is so true in order to accomplished big things
and big tasks. The big trucks that I saw this morning were easily transporting
30 tonnes in one single trip. Just imagine how many times for kapcai 70cc to do
the same? Countless!!!
We are
big..massive family..provided if we united. Every each of us has the specialty
and skills. YTC is knowledgeable and good with management skills (except women
of course... you need austerity to handle them bro! ). Backpacker of course
very innovative, Uncle Black is a handyman with lots of tools (he is very
artistic too..sometimes I could not understand why he took too long when do
renovation works), ego is a versatile and man of patience, tolerance,
persistence and most importantly is lack of complaint (he never raised a
word/voice to his beloved wife). Adik ..ehem, I am still struggling to
identified his strength but he is very easy going which can be an advantage to
some point (if we know to make the most of it). Not to mention our sisters
capabilities..humongous. we got package to succeed..
It’s been a
while I didn’t post my words on taahas. But after our recent meeting i think I
should share my views on bigger picture. Only few dares to venture out from
their complacent zone... over protective and defensive can never won the war.
don’t be afraid to let your child to play out side..they may trips and falls
but that what makes the strong and wise.
Our ‘trucks’ to transport 30 tonnes is our number and of course the property
(ayah’s house). Carefully manage/invest, then the 30 tonner is start rolling.
How fast we want to drive that will depend on several factors which got to be
calculated.. if we don’t invest, the 30 tonner will stay dormant. I am aware of
some anxiety about the risks.. isn’t that life is about risks..even travelling
to workplace everyday has their own risks. It is how we handle the risks..don’t
avoid it cos we can’t..embrace the risks.... then the 30 tonnes of stuff will
be rolling forward..Salam!!!!
At last, I'm able to post again in this blog. Thanks god, I found my password..
Thanks also to all of you who did a good job during Pre-Raya Barbeque. Well.. the Olak Lempit recipe get superb response from people, maybe have to make available during the open house.
