Penn 320 GTI

A reliable & strong workhorse in the fishing scene. 320GTI can overcame anything hurled in his way. Coupled with 50lbs braided it can bring to boat anything that took ur bait.

This model is made in the US but newer model you find in tackle shop are made in the Great Wall County.
I have slightly older model that still working very well considering the minimum maintenance I accorded to it. What I did is to lightly wash off the sea water & spray lightly with WD40 at external the moving parts.

Since Penn reels are now made outside US, those made in the US are now classic Penn.

Ally Cafe

Hazim famous tagline; Ally Cafe satu!

Bersangka baik kpd Allah.

Apabila Allah cepat makbulkan doa mu, maka Dia menyangaimu,
Bila Dia lambat, maka Dia ingin menduga mu,
Bila Dia tak makbulkan doa mu, sesungguhnya itu utk kebaikan mu.
Dia menangguhkan utk sesuatu yg lebih baik buat mu.

Kadangkala kita tak tahu apa yg kita nak.
Apa yg kita hajatkan yg di sangka bawa kebaikan tapi sebaliknya
Bacalah kisah Nabi Musa dan Nabi Khidir, sebagai pedoman.

Oleh itu bersangka baiklah kpd Tuhanmu
Setiap suatu yg dikurniakan kpd mu adalah yg terbaik buat mu
Mungkin keadaan diri kita sekarang buat kita ketawa sinis
Dgn kurnia yg terbaik!
Minta lah kpd Allah dalam solatmu
Dalam sujudmu bisiklah kpdnya isi hatimu.

Ya Allah, yakinkanlah kami bahawa Islam itu membawa rahmat & bukan laknat
Membawa bahagia & bukan derita,
Kehidupan manusia terpimpin oleh pembuatnya iaitu Allah swt
Manusia di pimpin oleh apa yg terkandung dalam Quran, Surah & Ijmak Ulama

Dlm masyarakat Islam yg benar, sepatutny, tak ada org yg kebulur
Semua org kaya bayar zakat, sebab zakat buat dia tambah kaya,
Bila dia kaya, dia belanja duitnya,
Maka multiplier effect dalam ekonomi menjadi nyata
Semua org bole berusaha utk rezeki yg halal.

Baitulmal akan penuh dgn duit.
Tapi dlm masyarakat Islam yg benar, umatnya tak heran dgn duit yg banyak
Reward yg sebenar bukanlah nikmat kehidupan yg sementara ini
Targetnya ialah kehidupan yg kekal di Akhirat.

Tak ada org nak seleweng duit Baitulmal atau mana organisasi yg pegang amanah org lain,
Kalu dia Islam yg benar
Sebab itu Islam pilih pemimpin bukan guna demokrasi
Demokrasi is the law of large number
If the large number is full of org yg ingkar
Negara Islam akan rosak.
Dalam negara Islam, org bukan Islam tak punya kuasa mengundi
Hanya org yg beriman yg bole jadi pemimpin.

Dalam Quran ada di ceritakan
kita akan di uji dengan sedikit ketakutan, kesusahan, kelaparan
Islam tak menjanjikan kekayaaan harta yg berbukit,

Allah janjikan balasan yg tak terhingga, di dunia dan akhirat.

Dalam bentuk apakah balasan Allah itu?
Purity of soul. Bukan mountain of gold.
Hamba Allah yg ikhlas mencari the pleasure of Allah.
Allah please dgn negara Islam yg pemimpinnya jaga kedaulatan Islam,
Allah please dgn umat yg berjalan setapak kpdNya,
Lalu Dia berlari sepuloh tapak kpd hambanya

Kalu semua yg masuk Islam jadi kaya dgn harta, semua nak masuk Islam.
Tapi bukan nak jadi baik tapi nak kaya.
Itu adalah ujian Allah bagi uji mahluknya

My Mak Sedara & Your Nek Sedara.

These are the people I grew up with. These are Tok's siblings.

People who welcomed me to their homes
bcos I was their anak sedara.

People who make time to come & helped out whenever there's something that need help.

Maybe they looked foreign to you bcos we seldom bring you round to see them.
Whenever we balik kampung, we seldom pay them visits instead we holed up.

Like I said it's none of your fault, it's entirely ours, your elders.
My apology.

These are your flesh & blood.
You should know them personally.
They are not unimportant
They are who we are



See,
there are three generations sitting together on the steps.















Mak Sedara during Zairin kenduri.

Going to Rompin.

What you imagine in ur head before u head somewhere won't match what you will see in real life.

That's what I think of Lanjut, somewhere in Rompin.

But not too disappointing, though.

Never been to this side of the country all my life, though we did stay briefly in Pekan when I was too small to remember anything.

Heard a lot of fascinating stories like Siakap of Mercong, Udang Galah of Sg Rompin & Tenggiri & sailfish of Nenasi.

Nek Yang Masari

While rummaging through some old stuff found this rare photo of Nek Yang when she was a young mother holding Pak Long.
Maybe the photo was taken in late 50 or early 60.
Should ask him if he remember anything?
Ha ha
