Bloody Merdeka!!!!!!!!!!

Well let me tell u the shits thet I went thru this week. Boy I just didnt see it coming eventhough I had prepared myself for this coming Ramadhan to be a subtle, holy & time for reflection month.

While I was in Kuantan last week on a job for a couple of days there I received a phone call from my contact for an up coming project for this year Merdeka celebration. It seemed that on the final week before the merdeka function I got the boot & some other company got the gig. Damn! This is what happens when u r dealing with my kinda business especialy that involves the government, they can just change their minds just like that. The shitty part is that they will never give u a deposit or assurance but just sweet promises.


So with that for the first time in my career in the audio engineering world I'm jobless because of empty promises made by certain people in the goverment this merdeka. I mean they could've told me earlier.. but ohh no it had to be at the last minute... n changed their mind to call me in 6 hours before showtime, some 200km away. Don't think so...



I guess probably this a way Allah is telling me that I should just take it easy cause Ramadhan is just around the corner & I need a breather for a while since I have been working hard the whole year through.

I enjoyed my work at Kuantan. I must say they are one group of nice ppl that I have encountered while doing UMP's Convocation. The best part, I had company on my ride home to JB as 10 other biker buddies of our Motoheads MC decided to go to Kuantan for one last ride before the Ramadhan. Thank you guys for the awesome ride home. It sure beats from riding solo.

Just as I thought I would now gather my strengh be mentally prepared for Ramadhan,.. my maid ran off & fled...Bitch! Now the Harfy Bunch definitely gotta stay strong & focus to face this mighty test. Well, we've been there before & I'm sure we will do alright....I hope.

Boiiingggg!!!!

Today has been a challenging day for the Harfy Family, one of those days where you wished that you never woke u at all so that you need not have to face this rather conflicting day. My Beeaatcchh maid is gone. Yup that inconsiderate selfish bitch dissapeared from our residence. I was awaken this morning by my daughter Qyra who said "Mama, Bibik is missing, Abang went looking for Bibik all around the house but cannot find her". I was absolutely dumbfounded, flabbergasted and stunned beyond words. I went downstairs and to her room. There I found that she had left us, a day before Ramadhan. I started to chock a bit, went upstairs and told Adlil that HIS bibik is gone.

He, had a peculiar unfazed reaction and started taking his phone and calling the bitch but of course she had no guts to pick up the call. He then called our agent who promised to help us with this crisis. I went totally blur and dazed for an hour or so. We knew that this issue would somewhat surface because she has been facing some issues back home in Indonesia in regards to her family. Told her that I'll let her go back for Hari Raya for a few days - which my frens say is "too baik" coz she has only been in M'sia for 6 months or so. To think that we treated her like family and provided her with all the necessities that she needed, with other plus point perks, which most of my frens claim, is "too bagi muka". I don't treat my maids like maids but more of a helper to help me with some of my household chores, more like a part of the family.

Unfortunately, the kids are also kinda fond of her, especially Raiyan who she helps take care while we are at work or when my mum is not in the house. My mum and my good fren's mum-in-law told me that these people are ungrateful people who no matter how nice you are with them, are very much self-centred idiots!! Honestly, come to think of it, they don't give two shits of what's going to happen to you if they leave you at a lurch like that.

Now I realize that I'm in for a hell of hectic and stressful month ahead of us.. However, I am grateful that my Adlil is so much help around the house. So, now there will be more in store for us, juggling our work and taking care of the family and house. I hate to go through the process of applying for a new maid and going through the whole "au fait to you phase". Thank god I cook well (that's what Adlil tells me amd claims that it was my mi-hun goreng that made him propose almost immediately), so there will be much more cooking. Don't mind the cooking but the preparation and cleaning up after the fiesco is not my fave part in the kitchen, but for now, I don't really have much choice, do I?

To make matters worst, my utmost important gadget, my handphone went dead on me. Just can't seem to do anything with it. So I am a bit at lost here without my phone. No choice but to get a new phone, which I again have to go through the process of getting acquainted to it, which I very much dread.

Well, I guess I am up to a crazy maidless days ahead of me and wish that I'll manage to do it successfully, all in one piece, without killing anyone in the process. Thanks to my friends who have showed concern in this very stressful episode, in the Harfy Household.

My Ride



It has always been my childhood dream to own a Harley. I have always been an enthusiast when it comes to Easy Rider motorbikes. I would look in envy everytime I hear the thundering roar of a Harley Davidson.

I started off small with a Vulcan Bike..(yup a japanese bike) that was my prized possession when I was in my early 20s. I still remember queing in front of Hard Rock & watching "brader2" on their Harleys on a friday night hanging out with their fellow biker buddies...& the best part these guys get free parking in front of HRC if you come with a Harley & you can get in for free! No ques, no hassle,no worries... Still the determination of owning a Harley was indeed top on my list.

Then, while I was enjoying the fruit of my hard work, together with my very modest Vulcan, I was reunited with My Wifey, fell in love and we got hitched. That to me was the ultimate satisfaction my life having to find my soulmate that I want to spend eternity & grow old with..She is everything to me & everything that I am so at that point in my life screw the Japanese bike & it was history.


Nevertheless, I was still living the dream of having a Harley but being me, I like to earn things the hard way, one step at a time, I got myself later a Drag Star..( yeah2 u guys would still be thinkin " another Japanese?) I had a son & a little baby was on the way so to keep me in touch with my feel for easyriders that was the only bike I could afford. But this time around me being a man..I started customizing my ride cause I didnt want my ride to look the same as the other stock bikes on the road. I had to make it my own.


I guess, if you dream hard enough, you are halfway there and still my determination was indeed very much sought after. True enough in 2005, I got for myself my fisrt Harley! It was a 1992 Softail Fatboy. I got it from a guy who had park & left the bike there motionless for almost 3 years. Before purchasing my first Harley I had to get a second opinion from an "otai" Harley biker Mr Kadir...Cmon guys this is a Harley we are talkin about here & I had to be sure about the bike. Kadir inspected the bike & told me " if you are not getting this bike I will "... so the deal was done & I was the happiest guy on earth.

I can still remember the first time I brought the bike home & my wife said to me " what a piece of crap did u just bought for yourself!? " To her it was an ugly beat up junk of tins & ready to be scrap. But for me it was my crown jewel...I had my own ideas in store for this beauty, in making it my own. Got the bike serviced..gave it a fresh coat of paint & with new set of tyres I was ready to tear up the streets. I was smiling from ear to ear everytime I rode the bike and still do.



Well I guess thats it for now as an introduction of my world. I'll be riding off to Desaru tomorrow morning with my Wifey to visit an old friend of hers & its really getting late.
Till then...........

A New Frontier




Well, cannot believe that my Adlil has decided to start a blog of his own. It totally came as a surprise to me when he said "Bie, I think it would be kinda cool to have a blog of our own". I didn't know whether I should choke or to cry as my Adlil is not a person who is into all this. Mind you he doesn't believe my excitement with facebook which he thinks is full of faux and cliche in its own right.

On the other hand, me myself, have been meaning to start a blog for myself for almost 4 years or so but never came about doing it, for reasons, I myself cannot reconcile in my almost fully occupied brain. Good friends who know my inclination in writing have asked me numerous times on why I have no blog to my name. Well guys, this would be it now.

So Adlil, thanks to you, we have embarked to our new long awaited frontier.

Here we will start sharing our lives with all of our frens and hopefully find new frens who share the same passion as we do. This would be our way of sharing our wonderful life together with our love of our lives, Alief, Qyra, Raiyan and Adlil's Harley.

Welcome to our life where life is not about the destination but more of the journey and lessons that we have encountered along the way..
