Happy Birthday Baby G!

On the 30th of March, it was my G's birthday - the 28th - we both were too busy to celebrate, so I've decided to make everything he wishes come true by today, as today is Friday and the next two days are weekend! I've got some nice plans, but I won't buy him anything, I will ask him what he wants and later buy for him. Somehow talking about taste, me and G are far more gap between us :) So it's better for him to pick up what he wants - just like I chose what I wanted on my birthday and on the Valentine's day.

Next thing - I wish for a nice, soft and cuddly sofa for my home. Ahh....home sweet home....I've got almost everything I want...I've decorated it my way...I just need a sofa to make it grooves..yihaa...and perhaps a book cabinet coz my collection of mags are hell! Hope to buy MP3 player as well coz I've been wanting it since..but I always thought that it'll be a waste of money and too childish. But I love music, and I need to listen to music in whatever I do.

And...I don't know....I'm planning to make a confession on a dance floor..aahh...I've been missing to dance to get freshed, gain more ideas and be ENERGETIC!!

I just read thru a blog from 23 years old girl named "Gadis Berahi" - ha..ha..ha...even though she has stated there that everything written in the blog is her imagination only - but damn, it was a hell creative imagination. Sounds pure, and sincere from the heart. I just wonder how can somebody portrays or imagines something to THATTTTT extent....God' s creation.... :P

I'm having a good day today, peace of mind, I've completed some of my work. I think about 20 percent left before the deadlines.

Sad News From A Friend

I was doing my job, when all of a sudden I thought of taking a peek at some of my friends' blogs. I went to Su*zie's first, nothing much, all about her work and some weird callers. Kak PNut hasn't update her blogs for more than a week, so I went to her blog, and her story today really surprised me to the knee. I trembled and felt crying because I know how it feels got miscarried. I know she's been waiting and hoping for the second child after Naj*mi, and it ended up like this. I told her that I understand it is not easy to cope up with the fact of life, but that's how life goes...there are always chances in future and I'm sure she will have lots of babies coming all her way...Insya Allah... - delly

W.H.A.T.E.V.E.R!!

Sungguh tak disangka ada makhluk yang faham bahasa Melayu very well kan? And boleh baca the blog lagi. Anyways, people who are not in my list are definitely NOT INVITED to read anything in here at all - and if you still do - I don't really damn care.

There are people out there who don't know anything about me - or at least the new me. I'm very much independent of myself now, well I'm not completely my former self - please la!! I don't give a damn to any other people who try so hard to let me down, I don't recall my history at all - it was all closed long time ago and I'm starting my very new life. I love the life I'm heading now, and I love myself, my family, my baby. I do lots of things that I never got any chances to do before, and I got victory on my own. I don't want to screw up everything now. Because whatever I want in life, in my career, my private life - it's in my hand now.

I don't want to lose G, I don't want to lose my family. We are all ONE. These people if they are gone in my life, I won't bother to look for any replacement - or substitute - because this is the thing that I already promised myself not to. No, I won't. Coz I rather be alone or unmarried my whole life without G. I know how much G and my family love me. And in return, I can't love someone much better than them.

I swear to God that life won't be good for anyone who'd made me fell from my life so deeply, that I had to work so hard to get my life back. God knows how I crawled to this ultimate victory. I've dumped every single moment of my past, not a single history in my mind, just lust and hate. I hate the old me.

I've raised from a fatal, bruised life and I don't allow anyone to take it from me again. - delly

Again...Another News About Us....

Well....another piece of news...of E-Baca...

Young Skateboarders Thrill

THE E-Baca Junior Sk8 Challenge held at Petaling Jaya Municipal Council (MPPJ) Arena Skate Park Square during the one-week school break did not only attract junior skateboarders within the Klang Valley.

About 80 budding skateboarders aged seven to 17 years including several participants from as far as Singapore took part in the one-day competition jointly organised by E-Baca children's magazine and MPPJ.

A participant keeping an eye on his board while executing a move.“We are encouraged by the good turnout. The skateboarders will spread the message on upcoming competitions among themselves. They get along well. We see a lot of potential out there,” said chief judge Johary Fitry Khairuddin, who triumphed at the 2000 X-Rage regional final in Jakarta.


Following another skateboard competition at Terengganu recently, Muhammad Firdaus Abdul Rahman from Singapore met up with his family in Kuala Lumpur.

“I just turned up to support my brothers - Muhammad Feroze, 16, and Muhammad Farris, 12, - who were in action before heading back home together with them.

“We enjoy coming to Malaysia because the facilities for extreme sports here are in good condition. The courses are more challenging, too. Coming here provides us the opportunity to catch up with other skateboarders and meet new skating buddies,” added Firdaus, 18, an engineering student at Republic Polytechnic.

For Farris, who took up skating six years ago, he is now hooked on the sport and has demonstrated his natural flair for the sport especially with his airborne tricks.
Meanwhile, Feroze is just a social skater.


“We get to pick up technical skills from the Malaysian skaters during the competitions here,” said Farris, who came in fifth at the challenge.

The siblings' father Abdul Rahman Abdul Ghani also accompanied them for the competition.
“It is a rare opportunity for the youngsters to compete in junior competitions. As the sport is beginning to grow in Malaysia, I am impressed that a lot of activities are organised for budding skateboarders,” said Abdul Rahman, who also brought his youngest son Farouq, seven.


“My children are passionate about skateboarding. They have been showing good progress. Although it cost a bit to sustain their interest in the sport, I am just providing them with the necessary support for them to fulfil their potentials.”

Abdul Rahman also makes it a point to allow his children to take part in competitions outside the republic to expose them to different competitive environments.

Mohd Zamri Mohd Ramli, who was one of the two judges, said the skaters took keen interest in perfecting their moves at the park on the eve of the event.

An official (right) briefing the participants before the competition started.“Our aim is to keep the skateboarding scene alive in Petaling Jaya. We are pleased that new faces that are coming through,” said Mohd Zamri, adding that at least 20 youngsters will gather at MPPJ Arena Skate Park Square every day to execute skateboarding, in-line skating, and BMX riding stunts.


The participants were judged based on their consistency, difficulty, run and style.
They were given one minute to flaunt their tricks on the course tackling the obstacles such as fun box, starter box, quarter pipe, spine box, jump box, bank ramp, mini ramp and pyramid hip.


A total of RM1,250 prize money sponsored by MPPJ was on offer to the top five winners.
At the end, Muhammad Izzharfan Mohd Azrain emerged as champion and pocketed RM500 for his effort.


Mohamad Mohd Nizan in second and Ahmad Aizat Ahmad Ariffin in third took home RM300 and RM200, respectively. Fourth-placed Mohamad Fikri Fauzi took RM150 while Farris in fifth took home RM100.

The sponsors included X-Fresh FM, Yeo's Justea, Wild Channel, Prostar, Huyo skateboard, Nestlé Koko Krunch, Tesco, Eau Claire Mineral Water, Sprite Remix, Bangsar shopping centre, Kids Scuba, Rosli catering and Tanjung Bidara Beach Resort.

News From www.skatemalaysia.com

(As quoted from www.skatemalaysia.com)

E-Baca Junior Skate Comp Results!!!

15th March 2006, Arena PJ skatepark, Petaling Jaya
The park today is full with kids (i mean real kids) practising their skills to perform for their best run during the competition. There are 80 contestant all over and mostly were in between age of 9 to 17. We (Myself, my wife Hanim, my son Anaqi and 3 of my nephews which is also junior skateboaders) arrived there a bit late today and my son didn't get the chance to compete as the registration are already full. I was informed that they only limit it for 80 contestant. Oh well, maybe next time Anaqi!!!


The event starts about 10.30am and the weather is a bit HOT!!! There are 8 heats overall. Each heats consist of 10 competitors with 1 run each. They were given 60 seconds per run and only the 10 best run contestant will be selected to compete in the final. On that day itself, there are also contestant comes all the way from Japan, Hawaii, Singapore and United States. This is a good sign to the local skateboard scene. I'm shocked to hear it. Besides, I can see who's the best that day. I'd already know who will selected into the final. It's not as hard as judging a pro contest. Anyway, where are the others skateboard media (3X, Revo, etc)?

12.45pm, break time and headed for lunch at "medan selera" near by. Comp starts again at 2pm and still there's 3 or 4 heats to go. Luckyly the event was sponsored by Nestle, Yeo's and Sprite with giving away free Coco Crunch; Honey Star; Yeo's Justea (only for contestant); Sprite Remix (also for contestant) and mineral water for everyone. They also giving away food (Nasi Goreng Cina lauk Ayam rempah) and more.

MC for the day was Boy PJ and at the same time Judging. Joe Ipoh being the head judge. As for the rest like Sani, Botak, Pojie, Mat Dagu, and Zam were there as part of the crew as the starter and checkers. While Nan from Interactive X as the DJ. What a big arena PJ family.... The crowd is not that bad as i expected. Well, what do you expect from an event held during the school holiday on Tuesday?Finally (at last 3X and Revo just arrived), they had announced the 10 finalist name; plus 5 extra name added into the final list.

These 5 were specially selected by the event organiser itselves. The best 15 finalist were consist of 5 PJ wellknown skaters (selalu training kat arena), 2 Terengganu skaters (Dirty Skate team), Wan Kenit from Teluk Intan, Faris (Singapore), Koyo (Japan) and others. Before the final round start. A huge bus from XFresh arrived in the arena. The bus had a lounge inside with a stage on top of the bus. There were few artist and group performed on that day. Ruffedge were the main guest artist. I didn't know it untill Cat Ruffedge (an old Ipoh skate friend) called me while shooting the final round scene. Glad to see you pal!

Keiron Brodie was also in the event covered for 8TV. Ok back to the final round. This time they give 2 run each. The PJ Boy; whom i'd assumed skate really good that day might win it coz most of them did try all the obstacles and most of them did almost a perfect run. I think Gaban did a perfect run in his 2nd round. But among these big fellow kids. The main attraction in this competition were these 3 small young boys; Faris (Singapore), Koyo (Japan) and Wan Kenit (Teluk Intan).

Koyo had a bad run in the final as he had to used somebody else board (his previous board lose one wheel nuts). Pitty for him but Wan Kenit did better. He did a kickflip on the ramp, almost land the FS boarslide on the funbox, did drop in the huge ramp and ran over the jump ramp with a backside ollie nose grab (land and fall). He looks pretty tired in the final but he is ok. Next was Faris; my personal favourites. First time seein' this kid back in the 2001 Phillips X-Rage. He has grown and improves a lot. He did a great in most run. The most memorable trick of the day was the BMX trick superman. This is the first time i've seen a skaters did in on a skateboard. He also did a big dare to fall bomb drop from the platform wall deck into the ramp. Damn...that was RAD!!! Love that kid... i wish my son could be like him someday.

Well, we didn't stay for the prize giving ceremony as we notice the first water drops from the sky. So we left and below is the results. Anyway, a big thumbs up to karangkraf team and crew for this rare event. Also not to forget to all Arena PJ staff and crew. Hope to see it more again next time. Congratulations to all the winners!!!

Kuala Lumpur International Book Fair

After one year. Another episode of mouth-fighting with each other. (Sigh....) But it is actually good to see kids come running to your booth and start shouting, "Mama!!! That's E-Ba*ca!!!" Or mothers, fathers, sisters or brothers, or even teachers who come slowly behind me and start asking, "Where's the latest E-Ba*ca?".That's cool. Pretty cool...and I LIKE!. It's just that I don't fancy doing things like "E-Baca satu ringgit...E-Baca satu ringgit!!!!" so loudly, I mean (damn loudly) so that everybody can just listen and be quiet to give the way to you. By nature, I'm really a quiet person, but not until I meet up those species who have such senses of humour (my style) - like old buddies - Budaiy, Angah, Syaz, Boje, Ina KRU - or Azno*r andLin*da's kind of. Or even Suzi*e's.

Anyways, it's okay, of course I'm being dedicated to my magazine, and I really appreciate An*i who came up to help me, even though she was a bit late. I feel disappointed of the other two, but just need to be understanding. Nak buat macamana....I gave them a chance to work and get a free leave by working today or tomorrow, but they seem not interested, because only one thing - I can always 'kow team' with them anytime by anyways. It's okay. They don't even call me to tell or ask me at least, "Hey, what's up there?". No, not everybody can be like me, I swear to God.

I felt a lil bit jealous when everybody with their team was there, and was selling their own magazine. So sepakat. When I looked up to myself, I just felt so bad that I had to stand there alone, like a "kadol" (as An*i told me the meaning last time - berseorangan di tepi-tepian buku-bukuan" - and sadly the "kadol" was me), where else my very rival - every one of their member was busy shouting and shouting and shouting. And I kept looking at myself and started to think - what the hell am I doing here by myself - from 11 to 4.30 pm?

I should not say anything about it, and I am not supposedly hope that everyone saw my presence there and would give their report to the upper management about me being there. No, it is not about it - at all. It is about commitment - and for me to realize how many people actually are exposed to that magazine - I think the answer is disappointing me, but that's the thing I need to face up.

I need to be close to the readers - that's about it - and the next planning is about to have any get-together or gathering with the readers. I managed to handle a very big event and collected bundles of skate lovers at one lace - and why not bring bundles of E-Ba*ca's readers to Sunway Lagoon and mandi mandi, bersukaria ha..ha..ha...alamak...use your brain la Budell!!

Buat Apa Yang Tak Penat?

Dulu aku macam tertanya-tanya jugak macamana rasanya mengorganize sesatu event, ialah macam BK selalu buat ataupun macam Media Hibur*an selalu buat, dan macam majalah-majalah lain jugak. Rupa-rupanya, memang - tak tipu kerat jari punyalah - penat giles! Penatnya tak mampu aku nak gambarkan dengan kata-kata, yang aku tahu aku ultrapenat bila period aku tetiba je datang cepat terlampau berbanding schedule biasa. Kes ni berlaku sama masa aku stress nak buat Shah Alam Jurnalis dengan Su*zie dulu. Gila! Memang lepas je event tu aku dah menghabiskan masa aku tidur dan tidur dengan jayanya! Yang pastinya, aku suka, dan semua orang gembira bila Tuan Haji dan anaknya sangat suka dengan event tu. Dan paling best, lebih banyak kenalan (which means lebih banyak contact) untuk event-event yang akan datang.

Sampai sekarang, maksud aku sekarang dan selepas ini aku terpaksa meligatkan kepala berfikir apakah event seterusnya yang akan majalah aku buat lagi. Jun dengan Disember tahun ni bakal menjadi sasaran sebab cuti sekolah yang panjang.

Tumpang gembira juga bila G telah mendapatkan notebook yang baru untuk dirinya. Merasa gak aku duduk kat Starbucks sambil access Internet. Hampeh punya awek!

Alamak, can't work extra hours today...gtg...... - delly

P/S: Aku dapat sms yang memang tak disangka-sangka, si si*alan itu kata: "Tolong call i. I masih sygkan u" - siap boleh buat singkatan "syg" lagi...wek!!! wek!!!!!! wekk!!!!!! Aku nak muntah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Real Skateboarders













Pictures speak louder than words. E-Baca Junior Sk8 Challenge.

Thursday, March 16, 2006

Good Job!

We've been waiting for the days so patiently, Alhamdulillah, the final day was the bomb yesterday! Everybody presented the best in them, thank you so much for my crew members: Ani, CK, Ida, Cat, Jai, Karen, Ai Pheng, Cha, Botak, Nani, Siti Ram....and my media friends who supported us, Kosmo, Metro, Utusan, The Star, 8TV and TV3 - not forgotten Nadiah from X-Fresh fm, who brought the Xplorer bus, and the artistes performed from the bus roof top! Dr Fazley came for half an hour to support us, that was wonderful too.

On the first day (14th), I was totally surprised of the participation list as showed by MPPJ. At first I thought we would be acting chin in hands waiting for the participants. But what actually happened was reversed - they waited for us. And on the 15th, to the extent, I had to refuse a few applications to join. Really, it was great. And it won't be successful without these people - including myself who was totally busy on phone, and in the event I was here and there entertaining people. My bosses came to see the event, thank God, they were impressed by the sponsors.

Pictures are still in the processing, well only pix worth thousand words! - delly.....

My Baby and Me

We are back to normal, I love him so much. No, we can't be separated, not now, not tomorrow and forever. He came to visit me when I thought everything was over, he was right, when we were lonely, we'll be thinking of someone who loves us so much. I do. I love him. My love is so strong that I can bet, somebody who loves me back has a very strong will towards me. I'm not a witch. But I know. Just know.
Last week, (the closing of the quarelling), I got two tickets to Z**k for the launching of Levi's Reengineered Jeans (thank you Che' A*h). Damn, I got lotta fun with G. I was in stress of the event, of my mag, so I was enjoying so much.

I LIKE!!! - delly.....

Heartbroken

"G, u r freed now. Out of this suffering. I'm a woman with no luck in love. I don't regret I met u and what we've been thru. It was the best thing ever happened in my life. I love you all my heart. But there'll be a woman who gonna love you more. Sorry for all promises made. I swear to God no one after you. I'll be single my whole life coz ths love is so into me. But for your sake, I have to let it go. Goodbye O**...goodbye love. Regards, delly"

This is how I end my love story. My last sms to G, with pray and hope he'll find someone who suits him. Someone who understands him more than I do. And more than everything, someone who will love him with all her heart like I did before. Well for me it is none of our fault that it ends this way, it is just that I don't want to be treated like this again and I don't want to suffer him with something that definitely can't change inside me. I don't want my work, my job to be a reason for us to stay apart, and later to fight about it. I'm done. I can't deny, I love him so much even till now, and forever, because when I was with him, I felt love, I really felt somebody took care of me so much. Our story can never be the same story like what I've been thru before coz it was lust, not love. I don't know about him coz I heard the former love was the best. It should be that way coz that time he was rich, he could fly over to her country and vice versa.

I don't hope for anything. For a normal fight, even the abnormal ones, I will always to be the first to pick up the phone and start calling. I always cried and admitted my faults. He admitted too sometimes but the thing is, this relationship is getting worse with the concept of not trusting each other. He wanted to know every single of my activity while I had no rights to peek anything on his side. He could check on my phone, my every contact, my every sms, but me, I coulnd't even touch the phone. I don't even know how the operating system of his phone at all.

I'm not looking for reasons. There are bundles of reasons that we always seek in searching somebody's weakness. Well I have my own weaknesses. And there are many that made G hated me so much sometimes. I don't want anybody to even hate me again. Coz I am the happiest person in my office and I won't definitely mix bull**it personal stuff with my work. I handled myself so well when my family broke my engagement. I don't know how it is going to be with this one, coz this was my very very love, I just don't know....I just have to let him go because I don't want to hate me for more.

If he's reading my blog, or if he ever came across my blog, I just want him to know that:

"I still love you. And I really do. Because of this love, I don't want you to get hurt, or even hurt me. You deserve someone so much better".

Love,
delly

"Berkobar-Kobar" vs "Berdebar-Debar"

Dua perkara, berdebar-debar dan berkobar-kobar. Itulah perasaan yang telah aku alami sekarang dan bakal mengalami yang lebih teruk lagi bermula minggu ni. E-Baca Junior Sk8 Challenge, aku dah dengar promosinya di mana-mana. Dalam X-Fresh, beberapa buah majalah terbitan company aku, termasuk majalah aku sendiri, website X-Fresh, website aku dan bakal dalam website company. Minggu lepas betul-betul minggu tekanan - bikin aku 100 peratus panasaran. Ada je yang berlaku. Cool Element tarik diri, makanan A1 pun tarik diri. Aku yakin aku tak sepatutnya rasa takut langsung dengan apa yang berlaku.

Jadi bila aku balik office, aku tarik nafas panjang-panjang, dan start concentrating dengan apa yang tak settle. Walaupun ada banyak replies yang mendukacitakan, termasuk daripada Nick dan Disney's Channel, tapi, buat biasa ajelah. Hari Jumaat aku siap boleh ikut I*da ngan Kak Fi*za buat make over lagi. Lantaklah. Aku dalam tekanan. Dalam pada seronok belajar make up pun, ada je call menambah semakkan pemikiran aku. Termasuklah yang nak cancel appointment. Suka hati korang. Makin dekat event ni, walaupun stressnya makin melampau, tapi aku mesti tenang. Yang pasti, Jumaat ari tu buat aku tersenyum dengan hadiah perfume sebuah. Jadilah. Pun aku tak mampu nak senyum sepanjang ari di office sebab jejak je kaki ke pintu office, berlambak-lambak perkara yang duz-daz-dap-auch! masuk dalam kepala otak. Relax.....

Baru nak keluar daripada pintu office pukul 6 lebih, satu lagi kejutan. Ayam A1 ni memang banyak main, memang bikin hati panas. Aku paling 'bengkek' dengan AE yang pandai-pandai bagi jaminan yang depa dah 70 percent agreed lah (kononnya!) untuk event ni. Aku ngan I*da mati-matilah percaya. Siap nak itenary lengkap kitorang lagi. What the! Aku sampai pecah kepala nak fikir slot mana dia nak masuk. Last-last macam tu pembalasannya, dengan alasan boss dia gi overseas. WTF!

Balik kampung hari Sabtu ari tu, sepanjang perjalanan kepala aku ligat fikir macamana nak settle soal makanan ni. Aku ada niat nak mintak bapak aku sponsor je, dia memang takde hal punyer. Tapi tetiba masa tengah makan sebelum balik tadik bapak aku bagi idea baik punyer. Dia called Pak Ngah aku kat UKM, orang tua tu setuju. Alahai...Alhamdulillah...leganya! Walaupun dulu aku adalah tragedi berkecik hati dengan dia, (tapi aku dah lupalah semuanya), aku bersyukur dengan persetujuan dia. Terus aku sms I*da cakap jangan risau yang makanan dah under cover. Settled.

Dah dua tiga kali aku dengar promo E-Baca dalam X fresh, memang rasa senang hati sangat, harap-harap semuanya akan ebrjaya..... - delly
