Compilation of Petronas Ads

As far back as i could possibly remember, i had always been captivated by all the Hari Raya ads shown on TV3. Some funny but mostly sad. They have never failed to move me. Present day, everything is so convenient now; all of these ads are readily available on Youtube. I was looking for these ads hoping that it will give me some form of "semangat" to celebrate this year. The "burung murai" ad is my personal favourite. Selamat Hari Raya everyone. May you celebrate abundantly with the people that you love.

Commercial break

September randoms

So this is it; the first time ive taken out my DSLR this month. It was Zul, Nazri and Rok's last shift at the station. And it was quite a solemn affair. Its hard for me to reinterpret someone whom ive always perceived as harsh and cold when he starts to break down and cry. My brains just cant figure that out fast enough. And within all matter of confusion, ive realized that nothing is ever permanent in this force. Change is an inevitable fate that we must all embrace. When Zul gave his farewell speech, everyone was silent. It was as if a huge boulder had been rested on our shoulders. Now the spotlight's on us; i know. Now it is our turn to shine. But do i really want to? I dont think so. Those are big shoes that i need to fill...


PS: This pics are just some of the photos that were taken that day. For the rest of the album, have a look at Stnone_Rone's account on Facebook.

Nasi Ayam Penyet

My last shift was filled yet again with good food and happy endings. This time round it was Fairuz who had requested his mom's assistance in making her secret nasi ayam penyet sambal to be shared by the many hungry men back at the station. I cant describe to you how nice the sambal was. A tat too hot for my liking (and that is saying a lot coming from a chili fanatic) but undeniably nice. Alfie was the one who went to the market to get the fresh chicken despite recently injuring his arm. Your help much appreciated.

We were a bit late for this iftar, so everyone had to share the initial batch of chicken that had already been fried. The rice was very fragrant. What was in it again Fairuz? Chicken stock and??? Cant remember. But it was very nice and sweet smelling. Muhaimin also contributed with his now famous Bandung Urat. There was this joke at the dinner table about how these 2 should put their biceps together and open up their own bussiness. The chicks will just come, if not for the food, it'll be for the eye candy. Im not a fan of the male body, so i wont comment any futher. But all i can say is that dinner was really satisfying.

Last shift, we also had to bear the bad news as 2 of my most favourite firefighters are leaving the station. 2 years had come and go in the blink of an eye and today, Nazri and Rok will be dekitting their stuff just before they ORD. Sucky. Risked our lifes together. And now they're gone.

Next shift, yet another one will be leaving the station and this time round, its gonna be a regular...

This is sahur @ the station

100th Year Celebration

The year was 1909 when it was first erected and right up till this very day, the firefighters in Central Fire Station have been keeping themselves busy so that you can sleep peacefully at night. Kudos to my seniors; the forefathers whom have set the standards sky high for us, the younger generation to live up to.

It was such a grand affair; the food was great, the video presentation was very insightful (i saw the firefighters from the fire service era in action) and there were a lot of VIPs that were invited. We, the station residents almost got lost in the wave of these VIPs. They had a live feed shot from the Excelsior and the Grand Plaza Park Royal Hotel of the facade of the station. When it was time to mark the start of the celebration, the guest of honour, Minister of Law, Mr K Shanmugam was given the honour of "lighting up" the entire station. The building almost look like a Christmas tree. But it was nice. But the Cordon Bleu Chicken was nicer... ;p

PS: Central FS was actually bombed during the 2nd World War. Not once, not twice, but thrice. But being the kepala batu* that we firefighters naturally are, we're still standing. Beat that!

*Malay for stubborn.

F-You very very much

I love this song from Lily Allen. So catchy...
