Bercuti di Johor Baharu

Last weekend (23 - 25 May 2013) kami sekeluarga berkesempatan menghadiri kenduri kahwin kawan ofis di Johor Baharu. Inilah kali pertama ku jejak kaki di bandar JB. Selalu dengar or baca jer mengenai JB. Kalini ku menyaksikan sendiri apa yang menarik di JB! Memang menarik tempatnya tapi seperti bandar besar lain, jalannya busy and crowd.

Kami gerak ke Johor sehari sebelum Wesak. Saja jer cuti awal, konon-konon tak nak sesak jalan, tapi sama jer, ramai juga yang sudah cuti awal. Kami tiba di bandar Skudai jam 1.50 petang dan terus check in di Euro Hotel Skudai. I rate this hotel 3 out of 5 stars atas beberapa sebab. Hotelnya ok for budget hotel tapi memandangkan ada anak, so for me not suitable for couple with children. Antara sebab adalah bilik air yang transparent , no kettle tuk masak air panas and susah nak cari parking.



Malam kami pusing-pusing sekitar bandar JB. antara lokasi yang SAAK bawa ialah Danga Bay dan Stulang. Shopping complex yang wajib tahu ialah Plaza Angsana dan Skudai Parade.

Next day, kami ke tempat Hello Kitty Town, located at Puteri Harbour, Nusajaya. Location dia tak jauh dari Legoland. Hello Kitty Town ni ada 3 level, 1st level for Hello Kitty, 2nd and 3rd level ada Barney, Thomas and Friend, Pingu and Angelina Ballerina. Entrance fees RM50 tuk either park. Kalau nak masuk both park RM85. Ok la harga dia berbanding ngan Legoland yang over RM100 per person. Sima sangat teruja dengan cartoon characters yang dia jumpa. Ada yang dia tak tahu seperti Angelina Ballerina, tapi balik dari situ, dia suruh aku download cerita Ballerina dalam tab dia.

At first dia tak excited sebab dia tak tahu watak ni. Tapi bila dia join ballet kelas ngan Angelina, terus teramat excited!

Thomas! One of my fav cartoon.

I grew up with these characters. My favourite is KeroKeroKeroPpi! Tak tahu apa yang best sangat ngan si Katak Hijau tu :)

Malamnya kami attend Kak Jue a.k.a JUJU majlis nikah. Alhamdulillah, dengan sekali lafaz sempurnalah majlis akad tersebut. Yang paling terharunya, majlis ini diadakan di rumah baru Kak Jue. Lepas kahwin, pasangan ni akan tinggal di sini. Sweetkan!

Selamat Pengantin Baru!

 SAAK mesti tengah berangan majlis kahwin kami 6 years ago. Kebetulan wedding anniversary kami ialah 26 May! The next following day.

Reading Material - Hello Mr. Perfect!

Cuti semester bakal berakhir, jadi aku ambil kesempatan ini untuk cepat-cepat habis beberapa novel yang dipimjamkan oleh kawan-kawanku. 

Next book entry bertajuk Hello Mr. Perfect, mengisahkan seorang lelaki yang sangat-sangat mementingkan perfectionist. Even calon isteri pun nak cari yang se-perfect dia. So, for me buku ni memang memberi banyak pengajaran kepadaku untuk menjadi seorang isteri yang perfect di mata suamiku. 

Sinopsis:

Muhammad Arif Fikri dan Ainul Mardhiah saling mencintai dan merancang untuk berkahwin. Namun disebabkan kerana peraturan yang telah ditetapkan oleh keturunan keluarganya yang mementingkan aspek LANGKAH BENDUL walaupun mereka adalah lelaki memaksa Arif mencari jalan penyelesaian. Selagi anak sulung tidak berkahwin, maka dia tak boleh berkahwin. Lebih memberatkan lagi apabila pihak keluarga Ainul hanya memberi masa selama enam bulan untuknya membuat keputusan.

Alongnya, Muhammad Izzul Islam terlampau mengejar kesempurnaan kepada pasangannya. Wajahnya kacak, tinggi dan menjadi tarikan ramai. Namun dia terlampau cerewet dan memerlukan pasangan yang juga sempurna sepertinya. Terlalu ramai gadis yang berdamping dengannya namun tiada seorang pun yang dapat bertahan dengan sikapnya walau sehari dua.

TIADA PILIHAN, Arif cuba mendapatkan calon isteri untuk Izzul. Imbuhan juga diberikan sebanyak RM500,000 sebagai cagaran sekiranya gadis itu berkahwin dengan alongnya. Alya Adriana yang ketika itu terdesak kerana hutang keluarga dengan ALONG memaksa Alya untuk menawarkan diri.

Mampukah Alya memanipulasikan pemikiran Izzul yang terlampau mengejar kesempurnaan itu? Dapatkah dia bertahan dengan sikap Izzul sekiranya dialah calon yang terakhir?

Teratak Riverview

Asyik pergi mandi air sungai di Kalumpang and Kerling, kali ni kami ke Teratak Riverview pula. Just nearby dengan rumah tapi jalan masuk ke dalam agak mencabar, dengan jalan sempit dan berlubang. So make sure kereta jangan lowered sangat, nanti sangkut pulak.

Teratak Riverview adalah tempat perkelahan atau perkhemahan yang popular di Tanjung Malim. Ramai juga yang datang sini buat kem motivasi dan sebagainya. Teratak Riverview juga menawarkan aktiviti water sport seperti kayak dan water rafting. Jadi kalau ada kelapangan masa, jemputlah ke Teratak Riverview bersama keluarga atau rakan-rakan.

Tempat makan untuk peserta kursus.

Tak budget nak mandi, jadi main air sikit-sikit sudah la.

Reading Material - Suamiku Tak Romantik Tapi Austistik

My reading novel for this week. Memang tebal giler. Alhamdulillah berjaya juga habis dalam tempoh yang ditentukan oleh aku sendiri. Ngee.. Novel ni aku pinjam dari member office. Tengah cuti semester, leh la baca novel. This book I give 4 stars. Memang terbaik. Hope you guys enjoy this book as much as I do!

Sinopsis:

NURA ALIA seorang gadis periang yang telah jatuh cinta dengan Syed Azmi, seorang anak Datuk yang kaya dan handsome! Walaupun dia tahu Syed Azmi seorang womaniser, Nura Alia yakin bahawa lelaki itu pasti akan meninggalkan gelaran itu demi cinta mereka bersama. 

Akhirnya, dari cinta ia berubah benci! Syed Azmi juga hampir-hampir meragut kesucian Nura Alia. Nura Alia menyimpan dendam kesumat pada lelaki itu. 

“Aku bencikan kau, Syed Azmi! Kau memang lelaki tak guna!” -NURA ALIA 

Demi menjalankan rancangan membalas dendamnya, Nura Alia akhirnya nekad untuk menjadi babysitter kepada abang Syed Azmi yang autistik, Syed Azwan a.k.a Boboy, budak tak cukup seringgit yang sengal! Dalam terpaksa dia rela melayan setiap kerenah Boboy. 

“Boboy! Boboy memang suka menyusahkan akak, kan?! Eee… geramnya aku!” -NURA ALIA 

Selama tujuh tahun, BOBOY hidup di dalam dunianya sendiri. Dunia kanak-kanak autistik yang sengaja diciptakannya demi menyembunyikan sejarah silam. Sejarah silam yang membuatkan dia menyimpan rasa bersalah sehingga ke hari ini. 

Namun, semuanya itu berubah apabila Nura Alia hadir dalam dunianya. Hati Boboy berdegup lagi. Dalam diam, dia menyayangi si babysitternya itu. 

“Kita minta maaf sebab selalu menyusahkan kakak. Kita sayangkan kakak!” BOBOY 

Tapi, tiada siapa yang dapat menghalang suratan takdir. Nura Alia dan Boboy akhirnya bersatu dalam sebuah ikatan. Pada saat cinta semakin bersemi, muncul pelbagai halangan yang menggugat rasa cinta yang baru hadir itu. Masing-masing masih menyimpan banyak rahsia. Rahsia yang mampu mengundang rasa kecewa dan duka dalam hati mereka berdua. 

Rahsia siapakah yang bakal terbongkar dahulu? Apakah nasib ‘cinta’ yang baru bersemi dalam hati mereka itu? Adakah dari cinta sekali lagi ia akan berubah menjadi benci? 

“Maafkan abang, sayang. Selama ni abang dah tipu Lia. Abang sebenarnya bukan Boboy yang autistik. Abang masih Syed Azwan yang normal. Abang…” -SYED AZWAN

Master Locker Lock

I came across this locker lock which was used during my elementary school at Taiwan. I had two of this padlock. One for my book locker and another one for my gym locker. It's already been more than 10 years from my last used of this padlock. And as you can guess, I don't remember the combination number but I still remember the steps to open the padlock. I tried so many numbers that I could think of but no used. SAAK urge me to find out how to unlock this mystery.

Due to Internet, I found this tips on how to crack my padlock. Really hope it works.

Steps

1. 1
   Note that a standard 40-digit Master Lock has 64,000 possible combinations that may open the lock. However, don't let that discourage you. If you don't know the serial number, then you can significantly narrow down the number of possible combinations to crack your lock (Method 1). If you know the serial number, you can request the combination directly from Master Lock (Method 2).
   
   

Method 1: When You Don't Know Your Master Lock's Serial Number

1. 1
   Turn the dial at least three rotations clockwise first, just to make sure it is clear. Turn the lock's dial clockwise to zero.
   
   
   
   
2. 2
   Apply pressure on the shackle, which is the curved handle at the top of the padlock. Turn the dial clockwise (CW) slowly as you press the shackle. If you can't turn the dial at all from the zero point, release the shackle and turn the dial CW just a number or 2 and then try it again.
   
   
   
   
3. 3
   Find the first sticking point.
   
   
   
   
   • As you turn the dial CW with tension on the shackle, you will come to the first clockwise stopping point where you can't turn the dial anymore. Make note of where it stops. Sometimes, the dial will stick right on the numbers, but sometimes the sticking point will be between the numbers. If so, record the number to the half (example: 22.5).
   • While continuing to apply tension to the shackle, turn the dial as far left (counter-clockwise) as you can. Make note of the first counter-clockwise (CCW) stopping point. The CCW stopping point and CW stopping point form your sticking "range", for example, 22.5 to 10. (Note: Some 800XXX and 908xxx locks have a two number sticking range [for example, 28 to 30 and 10 to 12].)
   • Determine the first sticking point by finding the number that's in the midpoint of the sticking range. A range of 4 and 5 would have a first sticking point of 4.5. A range of 22.5 and 23.5 would have a first sticking point of 23.
   • Each set of numbers that you find will have the same range. For example, one group may be 0.25 to 0.75 and another may be 0.5 to 0.25 on either side of the sticking points.
4. 4
   Release the shackle tension and turn the dial clockwise slightly past the first sticking point. Turn the dial clockwise about one number higher from the first sticking point in order to allow you to "escape" that sticking point.
   
   
   
   
5. 5
   Reapply tension to the shackle and continue turning the dial clockwise to find the rest of the sticking points. You should find 11 more sticking points, for a total of 12 sticking points in one complete turn of the dial. Write all 12 sticking points down.
   
   
   
   
6. 6
   Find the third number of the combination.
   
   
   
   
   • Look at your list of sticking points and eliminate all those which are not whole numbers (that is, cross off any number that ends in 0.5). You should eliminate 7 of the 12 numbers with this step.
   • Of the remaining sticking points, choose the number with the unique digit in the "1s" position. Four of the remaining 5 numbers will share the same number in the "1s" place, so for example, if the numbers left on the list are 4, 14, 24, 27, and 34, the number 27 is the only number which does not have a 4 in the "ones" place. This is the third number of the combination.
   • If you only have four numbers remaining and they all share the same digit in the "1s" position, check the "note" above in step 3 about a 2-number range... the third number of your combination will be the number that has a 2-number range (for example, if you have 0, 30, 20, 10 left, but 20 has a range of 19 to 21, that would mean that your third combination number is 20).
7. 7
   Find the magic number. Divide the third number of the combination (27 in this case) by four, and write down the remainder.
   
   
   
   
   • In this case 27/4 = 6 remainder 3. Remember that you are only concerned with the remainder, which will always be 0, 1, 2, or 3.
   • The remainder is the magic number. Write it down.
8. 8
   Find the possible first numbers of the combination.
   
   
   
   
   • Add 4 to the magic number (3). Write down the result (7).
   • Now add 4 to that and continue adding 4 to each resulting sum until you have gone completely around the dial once. Write down each of these numbers.
   • For the example above, the numbers would be 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31, 35, and 39. One of these numbers is the first number of the combination. (Note: For some 800XXX locks, this will be the second number of the combination. The next set of numbers will be used as the first)
9. 9
   Find the possible second numbers of the combination. If your magic number is 0 or 1, then add 2 to it. Otherwise, subtract 2 from the magic number.
   
   
   
   
   • Since the example magic number is 3, subtract 2 and get 1.
   • Write down the answer and add 4 to it. Now add 4 to each resulting sum until you have gone completely around the dial once.
   • In the example, the numbers would be 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29, 33, and 37. One of these numbers is the second number in the combination.
10. 10
    Cross out the numbers plus or minus 2 from the third number of the combination. In this example, since 27 is the third number, you can cross 25 and 29 off your list of possible second numbers.
    
    
    
    
11. 11
    Figure out the correct combination by trial and error. You now know all the possible first numbers (3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31, 35, 39), all the possible second numbers (1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 33, 37), and the third number (27). You've just narrowed down 64,000 combinations to only 80. Try every possible combination until you find the right one.
    
    
    

    Thanks to this website: How to crack a Master Lock I now can open my padlock and reused it again. So I must find the locker padlock to make full use of it! Trust me, it pays off when you heard the sound of padlock open!!! Good luck.

    
    

Blackwood Coffee & Chocolate

SAAK and I just recently found a new shop to feist out thirst. This shop, so called Blackwood Coffee & Chocolate is located at new shopping mall in SP, Amanjaya Mall. This mall is located beside Sungai Petani (U) toll exit. 

We had taste 2 types of ice blended drinks, Dark Mocha Frapper and Cookies something (I don't remember the name) and it is delicious. Besides just drinks they also had sandwiches and cakes. 

One thing I dislike this coffee shop is their working place arrangements. I know that space is very limited but they could have done it other ways so that their working place is more systematic. But, I still recommend this coffee shop and I rated it 4 stars! :)

Order counter is very limited.

Take your drink here if takeaway.
