Meeting Board Badminton Match

On the 28th January 2009, our meeting group have organized a friendly badminton match amongst ourselves. The event was held at the badminton court at USJ 20. 8 person was participating the match. Me, Mr Shahnawaz, Mr Fazril, Mr Ehsan, Mr Farhan, Mr Azizul, Mr Fazley and his brother. As usual, Mr Meor cannot be located...



We gathered at Restoran Sri Melur at 8 pm waiting for the participant to arrive, and convoyed to the location. Mr Farhan was the organizer. The court was booked for 2 hour starting from 9 pm until 11 pm.



Everyone was in high spirit since we haven't been playing badminton for a long time. After a few session of warmed up, the first match begin. Its a double match between Me with Mr Fazly, and Mr Shahnawaz with Mr Fazril. Mr Farhan became the score counter.



It was a very exciting match as Mr Shahnawaz and Mr Fazril gave us a challenged. But lady luck was on my side, and my team won the match clean sheet.









The second match sees Mr Farhan and Mr Ehsan team versus Mr Azizul and Fazley brother team. It was another great match since both of the team gave a hard challenged to each other.





Each of us got to play 2 match each. Since one match with 2 set takes 30 minutes to finish. It was sweaty, hot, and you can feel the adrenaline pumping.





At 11 pm, we call it a day. Then we decided to do this activity regularly whenever we have the chance. Sometimes its good to have some sweat come out of the body instead of just sitting at the mamak stall and drink teh tarik.

Second Gathering Session

Today (20/11/2008), once again we gather together in a wonderful, cold, raining day. Well, its been raining since around 4 pm. Its raining season now. It'll be raining every evening. This is due to the changing of monsoon wind which bring heavy rain to the affected area.

Our organizer for today meeting is Mr Fazril. The venue for the meeting is Syed Bistro at USJ 7 and the time is 8 pm. Today, all the regulars are coming which is Mr Hirzi (me), Mr Fazly, Mr Meor, Mr Farhan, Mr Ehsan, Mr Fazril, Mr Shahnawaz and Mr Adib.



As always, me and Mr Fazly are car pooling together since our house are close. Its just a few blocks away. Its either me driving my car, or he's. Today he's driving me to the meeting. I told him to come and pick me up at my house around 8.15 pm. He drove his red Gen 2 car. Its been a while since i met him. He just finish his diploma from Uitm. He due to graduated sometime soon. Congratulation to him.

The venue is around 5 minutes drive from our home. Went we arrived, we thought that no one have arrived yet. We thought we were the first to arrive because we didn't see any of their cars at the parking lot. We walked to the restaurant and we saw Mr Meor and Mr Farhan is already there. Its been a while since i saw them. They look great. We shook their hands, and ordered some drinks. Mr Farhan just finished his work, so he came complete with his working attire. Mr Meor is looking as sloopy as always... We start of by asking hows each other were doing. They were doing great. Of course there's few ups and downs but they managed to get through it.

Then, Mr Shahnawaz arrived. He always come wearing his cap. He shook our hands, sat beside me and start to chit chatting. He ask about Mr Meor car. Mr Meor family just bought a new BMW car and he drove the car today. I didn't realize the BMW car parked at the parking lot was his. I was amazed. Everyone was amazed. Mr Shahnawaz also didn't know about the car, he just guessing it. Mr Meor said that its been a month since his dad bought the car. Mr Meor didn't tell anybody about it.

Mr Shahnawaz and Mr Fazril is passionately talking about cars.


Few minutes later, Mr Fazril and Mr Ehsan arrived. They shook our hands, sat and ordered a drink. Mr Shahnawaz was excited to tell Mr Fazril about Mr Meor new car. Mr Fazril and Mr Ehsan was shocked and amazed. Its not a recon car but a brand new car. Then they asked about the car details. Then, our last member, Mr Adib arrived. He's a student in Uitm Shah Alam. He just finished his final examination for this semester. He's due to receive his diploma this coming Tuesday. Mr Adib is a motorcycle lover. Mr Farhan asked him about his motorcycle. He said that his motorcycle have slowed down and he wanted to change the engine of his motorcycle. He said it probably be the Comel scooter engine. He said that the engine run smoothly and can go fast like a jet. Mr Meor caught in amuzing hearing that the scooter can run like a jet.

Now, all the participant have arrived, the main agenda begins which is to plan an activity for this holiday session. We already have some of the ideas from our last meeting which is to go play the paintball shooting. We asked the other member who didn't make it the last meeting to contribute some ideas. Mr Farhan is enjoying his last visit to my grandmother house in Kuantan so he's suggesting it again. I said since this is a raining season, its best to not go there because the sea are unstable and there might be flooding and we may be stuck there. Lets wait for the mid year semester break because its the best time to go there since its summer time.

This is the admission charges for the sunway lagoon extreme park which hold the paintball game:




Mr Meor suggested a trip to Genting Highland. Me and Mr Farhan agreed. Mr Meor suggest we take the bus package from KL Sentral. The package included a return bus ticket, return cable car ticket, and a ticket to outdoor theme park. Mr Shahnawas, Mr Fazril and Mr Ehsan disagreed because they were afraid that the bus driver will drive the bus carelessly and might cause an accident since the road are dangerous.

Me and Mr Ehsan


Mr Fazly suggested we go to Mr Farhan convocation ceremony which take place at UIA in Gombak this Saturday. Again, only me and Mr Meor agreed. I dont know about the others. Mr Shahnawaz is not so confident to drive all the way to Gombak. Its not that far actually... Take the Kesas highway, and just go straight all the way to Gombak. Very simple. I suggested Mr Meor to drive us there. We'll see how the plan coming...

Mr Fazril, Mr Shahnawaz and Me


Mr Farhan suggested to spend some time at the bowling alley then go catch a movie. Its been a while since we all went to play bowling together. But Mr Shahnawaz and Mr Fazril never played bowling before... No need to worry, there are many pros here who can teach them the proper way to play bowling. We'll also see how the plan coming...

Me, Mr Meor, and Mr Farhan


There's many plan to go through right now, but we got so little time. We only have next week weekdays. Next week weekend, Mr Meor, Mr Fazril and Mr Shahnawaz have to return to their collage. But during the weekdays, Mr Farhan is working. So we still trying to find the suitable time to do the activities. We'll see how the plans coming... At the end, we did make a little progress with the ideas but still cannot be realize it yet. Around 10.15 pm, we decided to call off the day, and pay for our drinks. But the meeting is not over yet, its motor show time. Its a meeting at the parking lot and demonstrate their cars. Our main attraction for today is, Mr Meor's car, the BMW 530i.

BMW 530i




The 530i is the BMW for people with a family. Like the 3, 6, or Z Series, it's not too small, and like the 7 Series or X Series, it's not big and bulky. Inside, the BMW 530i is a civilized yet athletic people-hauler with an outstanding quality of materials and a clean, solid look that will age well. BMW really leads the pack in stripping down the busy array of buttons and knobs that plague many cars today. The way the company does this is by moving controls into the iDrive knob and screen interface, which seems heavy-handed to us in a car that doesn't have any really complicated systems to control.

Me test driving the BMW 530i


The futuristic neon red speedo numbers which appeared as if by magic on the bottom of the windscreen blew me away. Despite the regular speedometer alongside the rev counter, this added touch of big red digits appeared to perch on the end of your bonnet, and visible only by you, the driver is awesome. I had to stand in front of the car to spot the small screen inside reflecting the numbers. There is also a night vision camera that was placed in the front bumper of the car that allow the driver to see in the dark.

Its a fantastic car. I wondered when will i be able to drive this kind of car. Guess i have to work harder to own one. After checking on the cars, around 11 pm, we return home since its started to raining again. All the activities will be confirmed later through text messaging. The meeting adjourned at 11 pm.

Schoolmate Gathering

Every once a while, especially during semester break, me and my schoolmate of SMK USJ4, held a gathering session where we talk about issues, experience, and share our story. This gathering group consist of Mr. Hirzi (me), Mr. Shahnawaz (organizer), Mr. Fazril, Mr. Ehsan, Mr. Fazly, Mr. Meor (a.k.a mangkuk), and Mr. Farhan. Sometimes Mr. Adib and Mr. Naresh also joining the group. Its kinda like our tradition since we left secondary school. The venue always in a restaurant where we can drink and chit chatting. The regular place for our gathering is at Syed Bistro at USJ 7. The time is always from 8.00 pm until midnight. Since we seldom seeing each other, there's so many story for us to share. We also organizing a trip or activites. For instance, during the May gathering session, we were organizing a trip to Kuantan.

Today (14/11/2008), we once again are holding a gathering session where we invite all the group members to attend. This time, we are changing the venue to SS19 restaurant. Unfortunately, only 4 of us can attend the session, me, Mr. Shahnawaz, Mr. Fazril, and Mr. Ehsan. Mr. Farhan couldn't make it because he is exhauted upon finishing his work, Mr. Fazly haven't return from his collage, and Mr. Meor have gone missing...

Mr. Ehsan


Me

I arrived around 8.30 pm. Mr. Fazril and Mr. Ehsan is already waiting for us there. I shake their hands, ordered a drink, and start asking them how are they doing. Mr. Fazril is waiting for his final examination result while Mr. Ehsan is working while waiting for the December intake to resume his studies. After a while, Mr. Shahnawaz arrived. He also the collage mate of Mr. Fazril so he's also waiting for his final examination result.


Mr. Shahnawaz

We talked about many things during the session. Mr. Shahnawaz and Mr. Fazril kept asking Mr. Ehsan about his BMW car since he have made some changes to his car. He bought a new set of rims and tyres which makes Mr. Shahnawaz and Mr. Fazril drooling in admiring. They also talked about Mr. Meor's BMW car. Mr. Meor also have made a changes to his car and tell us how carelessly he drove his car...


Mr. Ehsan are explaining about his car to Mr. Fazril

Then we exchange our story on what happen in our collage. Mr. Fazril said that he, Mr. Shahnawaz and Mr. Meor (also their collage mate) have been doing so many nut stuff especially Mr. Meor. Then they ask me and Mr. Ehsan about our experience while doing our industrial training or practical training because they'll be going through it soon. They are excited and a little worried.

During this session, we also planning on doing an activities during this semester break. Few suggestion was given by me which is a trip to Genting Highland, Sunway Lagoon or Aquaria. They say that its kinda childish. But when I asked them whether they have any suggestion or not, they said no. I asked Mr. Fazril whether he have some suggestion or not, he answer that he had some which is a visit to NAZA World and Auto Bavaria to check on the cars that was on display. Then we asked Mr. Ehsan. He kept talking about James Bond so we figure it out that his suggestion is to go watch Quantum of Solace. Then suddenly I have this idea about paint ball shooting. They seemed interested in the suggestion. So we note that down on our plan lists. The plan will be decided during next session of gathering which will be held in this short time.



Around 11 pm, we decided to close the session for today. We pay for our drinks and went back home. It was fun to gather all of our old friends sometimes to share their stories, experience and their point of view. The meeting adjourned until next time.
