Facts about Miri

   1. Road

Usually in the morning, you will trapped in the traffic jammed.Not because of abundance of car on the road like in KL,but because of the one lane road. For those who want to make a turn, there is no extra lane provided.What happen is,you need to wait patiently. The roads are bumpy;so you are advised to buy a car that has good suspension. There is another thing, the road is not fine; it got many holes. The results,you will get frustrated when your newly washed car accidentally hit the hole with water.

    2. The People

The population of the chinese and/or borneo people are more than malay.So usually you would have a hard time to find a halal restaurant/stall and mosque. On the road, they drive very slow and most of the time the rightest lane occupied by those who drive slow.I would define slow as; 40km/h on the straight road.You will get even more irritated when it is one lane road only.But you are advised not to horn them because based on my seniors;they said they would pick out parang and chase you.Might be a make-up story. 

   3.Pricing

At first, i thought the food and other things are cheap in here but I was wrong.People said it is because of the Brunei-an who travel to Miri to shop.A plate of rice and another 2 lauk with drinks normally cost around Rm-7-8.A cup of teh tarik cost Rm2.Oh yeah,there is always different price for peninsular Malaysia and Sabah/Sarawak.You can see on the newspaper for example. Price in peninsular cost about Rm.1.50 and around Rm1.70 in Sabah/Sarawak.It implies to the Mcdonald /KFC restaurants too. Additional ringgit for a snack plate or prosperity burger. 

  4. Food

You can hardly find spicy food.Even if you order Nasi Goreng cili padi you only taste the normal Nasi Goreng. There was one time, i ordered Nasi Goreng Tom Yam; but it didn't taste like Tom Yam at all.What I tasted was salty Nasi Goreng.In Miri,you would hardly find a Mamak restaurant. There was a day ,one of my friend ordered a Rojak Mamak.Pity him because it tasted like Rojak Susu,a sweet Rojak that taste really like a Susu. The Teh Tarik really tawar even if the color look alike in the peninsular.Another thing, if you asked for Roti, don't be surprised if they give you biscuit.(Roti means biscuit in Sarawak) There is another interesting fact;you wouldn't find Gardenia or High-5 bread in here.The state government encourage local bread producer in Miri.

Until next time, I want to cook myself a plate of fries, sausages, nuggets for my lunch.It is better to cook yourself because you would not criticize your own cooked meal.

Ugly people

Human is ugly indeed.They are selfish and never consider others.They only want things for their own benefit even if it jeopardize others. One thing is,they feel good of themselves and they are saint. They never feel bad about themselves but to people they deserve no respect.

If you want something, try give something to others.Even if you can't help others, try to help yourself not to burden people around you.

A deep feeling that i don't even know how to describe

Train,People and Life

In the name of Allah,the Most Gracious,the Most Merciful

What do you always do on train?


Normally,i love to listen to music and read book.But i also like to watch people.Don't get me wrong.What i mean is,i like to analyze them.(Even though, it is just my perceptions, but i like my brain to start thinking).

I always wonder,what kind of people are in this train ?What do they think in their head?
Some wear smart attire.Some in school uniform.Some in simple attire.
Some look sad.Some happily laugh with their children.Some sleep.Some just like to watch others.

I judge them by their appearances and look.(Not a good thing right?Just for fun only, as if i'm a detective-Detective Conan influence.LOL)

I don't know why i like to,but this is what i do on train.

We can learn a lot by looking at people.

Because,
deep inside in my heart,i always wish,i don't want to be like them.

1. I'm sad to watch people who always have to wake up every morning and go back home at the evening because in their mind "if i don't work,what will i feed my family".
2. Burden of work loads at office.Sometimes they work OverTime,but what they get is what the boss able to give.
3. In train,after office hour,it will be filled with lots of people.People have to be fast to get into the train earlier.I can see some stress when this happen.
4. I always imagine,what will be the another story when they're at their home.With children,wife,bills etc2.

It is now common thing people get stress based on what we always read on papers.

• Divorced
• Suicide
• Child abuse
• Murder
  

"Work without fun is suicide"-Albert Einstein.
"Craziness is what you always do repeatedly and hoping for another result to happen".-I don't remember who say this.


What is the answer to all this?
Always remember,our final destination is,to meet Allah.Do as many good things in here while you still alive.

"Allah menjanjikan kepada orang-orang mukmin, lelaki dan perempuan, (akan mendapat) surga yang dibawahnya mengalir sungai-sungai, kekal mereka di dalamnya, dan (mendapat) tempat-tempat yang bagus di surga 'Adn. Dan keridhaan Allah adalah lebih besar; itu adalah keberuntungan yang besar. "[At-Taubah,9:72]

Marditillah should be our biggest target in here(World).

Life without Allah's blessing is meanigless.Start do things for the sake of Allah.


P/s:Islam never forbid human to be rich.Islam forbid people to be greed and wasting money for unnecessary things.
