"Night Stop" in Jakarta

noreply@blogger.com (AraPut @ Arafat) — Mon, 7 Mar 2016 09:48:00 +0800

Jakarta, Indonesia... gambaq ni aku Google

Adoi! Sumpah lama gila tak upload story dalam blog ni... mana tak nya buka pun tak yer... Story pasal Jakarta, Indonesia ni sumpah dah lama but terasa macam nak upload jugek walupun dah ages! lol...

Ke Jakarta dikala kemeroyanan.. simply unplanned trip.. tapi sumpah kejap sangat-sangat... Dari aku membebel tak berhenti. Jom kita story mory...

7 December 2013
Board the last flight of Malaysia Airlines MH727 to Jakarta. Dalam mode kemeroyanan ku gagahkan jugek pergi Jakarta. Katanya untuk menenangkan diri buat seketika...

ready for push back

Flight smooth and best... sebab crew-crew onboard semua kawan and the best thing is my best friend a.k.a. abam senior MH ada dalam tu... service tip top...

supper on-board

Upon landing dekat airport Soekarno Hatta, aku asyik perhati pandangan bandaraya Jakarta yang bergemalapan dengan cahaya lampu neon yang terpacar terus ke ruang angkasa Indonesia. Sebelum landing korang akan dibagi slip visa ape entah tuk isi then show je dekat Immi counter dorg. Blaaa... blaaa... blaaaa... landing smooth and on time... well done MH.

upon landing di CGK

Once landed, clearance Immi berjalan lancar, and kau terkedek-kedek lah berjalan bersama team crew yang lain menunggu shuttle tuk di bawa ke hotel tempat kami akan menginap untuk dua hari akan datang.

Tadaaaaa... sampai hotel, we are staying at The Sheraton Media Tower, Jakarta, Indonesia. sorry dek gambar Google... btw hak cipta gambar nie masih terpelihara.

gambaq ni Google yer!

8 December 2013
Orang meroyan mana bole tido lelama kennn... kau tido laa lewat macam mana pun. Last-last sure bangun awal gak. Katil tak sedap... aku cakap kat crew lain macam tido atas kayu lah... kesudahannya semalaman aku tido di atas sofa. Sebab jauh lebih empuk dari katil yang indah terbentang tu.

permandangan dari jendela hotel.. traficcccc!

I skip my breakfast, then after 2pm baru gerak pegi Mangga Dua. The only location yang aku pergi sepanjang keberadaan ku di kota Jakarta.

mangga dua

Kalau korang nak gerak kemana-mana di Jakarta ni.. Afat sarankan korang amik Blue Bird Cab... kalau dah memang tak ada choice... amik je laa apa pun.. tapi jangan main bedal je!

blue bird taxi

Taxi drop us on the opposite road of Mangga Dua, disebabkan si Fahmi nak cari ATM hahaha... last nak lintas jalan tak mampu sebab kereta banyak. Thanks so much to abang polis kat Jakarta tu sebab sudi pimpin tangan ku lintas jalan. Hats Off abang!

pemandangan biasa di Jakarta

teringin nak naik tapi takut...

rail track...

Shopping bagai nak rak... just tuk lupakan apa yang dah terjadi... Shopping is the best therapy!

ni je yang sempat grab...

Before shopping, kita pergi for quick lunch dekat A&W Mangga Dua. My friend Fahmi tak kasi I makan makanan tepi jalan sebab takut sakit perut... ye laa aku ni kan sensetippp...

sila baca menda alah tu sekali arung...

rasa macam makan ayam penyet...

Dinner
Sudah laa kau shopping hingga ke senja. Sampai je di hotel semua dah tak larat. Fahmi want to be alone nak merokok sesorang dekat pool. I go ahead for shower and ready for dinner with other crews.

menu

Long cut short. last2 ktorg bayar 30% jer from our bills sebab hotel ada buat promo. Plus campur discount for cabin crew kot ataih... nah hamek! BTW restaurant siam ni dalam hotel Sheraton tu. Urghhh! sorry can't recall nama restaurant tu.

meal for three...

snap lagi...

9 December 2014.
Nah! semua zombie operate kapal balik ke KL... mana tak nya lepak memekak dekat restaurant n dekat pool.. sekali sedar ada lagi dua jam je tuk tidur before wake up call pagi nanti untuk flight balik ke Kuala Lumpur at 4.40am

push back to KUL

Sumpah rasa fresh lepas mandi n pack semua tuk balik KL... tapi masuk-masuk je dalam shuttle ke airport. Aiyooo kepala ada pusing laa abang... mengantuk walaupun ko dah telan kopi O gelas besar kat hotel tadi... Damn!

breakfast...

Flight smooth back to KUL. the end of my meroyan journey to Jakarta!
Tak banyak info pun. Tapi saje je nk gedik tulis gak sebab lama dah tak tulis kt blog niee...

MH726 safely landed in KUL

Sejurus ketibaan ku di rumah, nah amik ko.. tido lah dari pukul 9 pagi smpai lah 3 petang.

Pray For Nelson Mandela

noreply@blogger.com (AraPut @ Arafat) — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 09:49:00 +0800

I urged the World to pray for this honorable human on Earth. Together with the South Africans lets pray for the ailing 94 years old former president and the anti-apartheid hero, my beloved Nelson Mandela.

His now suffering a lung infections and his condition is SERIOUS but stable... Even though I never met him in person, but thru his story from the book I read, tell me thousands meaningful memories he had experienced.

Let's pray for his speedy recovery...

Amin

So, next restaurant is THAI FOOD ni I memang recommend korang tuk pegi, recommend kuat to orang-orang Malaysia especially muslims. YES! tawke kedai memang sepatah haram tak tawu cakap Malay, but the waiter and the cook (Abang Hassan) memang bole cakap melayu k! btw they are from Yala... and the waiter pernah stay at Penang for few years... hahaha... interview habis!

the cook! abang Hassan, from Yala

so korang tak da masalah... lagi pun food kt situ semua nya halal...

THE BEST GREEN CURRY EVER TASTE!!! korang pegi laa masuk restaurant tu... almost every nite I pegi makan kt sana yer... sebab terlampau SEDAP! and sesuai dengan cita rasa ku yang tak suka pedas... hahaha...

chicken green curry

the crowd

Almost semua jenis masakan Thai ada yer...PRICE??? that's not a question...

selections of menu...

I hope this article dapat HELP those people yang nak melancong ke sana...

BTW few tips... if you tak nak tgk many Malaysians at Krabi, please avoid Malaysia's School Holiday k... hehehe...smile...

Gaza and Israel

noreply@blogger.com (AraPut @ Arafat) — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 16:32:00 +0800

1. Israel assassinated a Hamas leader, bombed Gaza and is preparing to invade that strip of free Palestine because rockets had been launched from Gaza to hit Tel Aviv.

2. Israel invariably claims that it is retaliating against Palestinian attacks. But Israel does not mention that it had attacked Gaza in the past and when its troops withdrew, it blockaded all supplies of food, medicine and construction materials to Gaza.

3. Malaysia cannot forget that its ship, the Rachel Corrie, carrying medicine and food for the beleaguered and starving people of Gaza were stopped in international waters and forced to go to Ashdod in Israel.

4. Nor can we forget the attack against the Mavi Marmara, a Turkish ship also carrying relief aid to Gaza in which nine aid workers were shot dead by Israeli soldiers.

5. Another Malaysia ship carrying plastic pipes for repairing the sewage system in Gaza was also forced by the Israeli Navy to turn around and go to Egypt.

6. Israel’s military action against Gaza had destroyed hospitals, schools, dwelling houses and the water-carriage system. The people could not rebuild their houses and buildings because Israel illegally blockaded the sea off Gaza. That blockade include attacks against relief ships in international waters – again in total disregard for international laws.

7. Israel did not want the Gaza people to rebuild their homes, forcing them to camp outside or seek refuge in their destroyed houses. Israel knows well how cold it can be in Gaza in winter. Israel does not allow food or medical supplies to be supplied to the suffering people of Gaza.

8. It is now almost a decade since the Israel invasion and destruction of Gaza. Every now and again Israel would fire rockets at Gaza. The strip has become a huge detention camp for the Gazans. No food, no medicine, no clean water, no shelter and no schools. Israel is really operating an Auschwitz type of concentration camps as operated by the Nazis for Jews in the last war. Israel tells the world that the Nazis were inhuman. But the Palestinians, the Gazans did not put Jews in concentration camps. Still they are being made to apparently pay for the sins of the Europeans. Humane treatment is only for Jews. If Jews treat the Arabs with the same kind of brutality, it is alright.

9. Can anyone be surprised the Gazans fire rockets at their Israeli tormentors.

10. Then one should remember that Israel is created by the Americans and Europeans as a Jewish homeland by seizing Palestinian land. Upon being given Palestinian land for a Jewish state, the Israelis massacred Palestinians at Deir Yassin and other locations forcing the Palestinians to flee their homes and country. For nearly 60 years now they have lived as refugees in sub-human condition in other countries.

11. In the meantime Israel has carried a systematic but illegal development of Jewish settlements in Palestinian land. Roads are built on Palestinian lands which are exclusively for Jews. High walls are built to divide Palestine villages. Israeli forces carried out assassinations of Palestinian leaders outside of Israel.

12. The Arab countries in the Middle East are exposed to attacks at anytime. There was, there is and there will never be any security for them. And their insecurity is because Israel believes in ensuring its security by pre-emptive attacks against it neighbours, by depriving others their security.

13. For all these and more, is it any wonder that the Palestinians and the Gazans should fire rockets at Israel. The Palestinians know the Israeli will retaliate with far more devastating attacks.

14. Keeping quiet is not a choice for the Palestinians, as the Israelis will continue their expansion, their settlements and their attacks.

15. The world will not do anything to help the Palestinians. For Israel now control the most powerful nation in the world. Any action against Israel would attract positive support by the United States of America. Obama has just won his second term as President of the U.S. Israel wants to attack Iran. So far the U.S. has not agreed. The invasion of Gaza is a test for Obama. Let us see what the Israeli satellite will do?

Travel Tips ( How to Pack Your Stuff )

noreply@blogger.com (AraPut @ Arafat) — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 01:58:00 +0800

Hi, dalam post ni Afat nak share dengan korang semua a few tips when you pack your bag! and the necessary items that you should include in... Afat bukan lah pakar, but boleh laa cikit-cikit nak share kata orang.

Luggage

normally when I travel, I prefer untuk bawa a cabin size luggage sebab Afat selalu fly, so it is easier for me to move around, but depends on your type of travel juga, If you are backpacker, then you might use another type of bag la kan...

okay to the next chapter!

What / How Many Should I bring ??

depends on how many days actually you nak spend there, Afat normally akan travel for 3 to 4 days je. So I'll bring baju-baju yang senang match dengan semua jenis occasion.

Seluar (Pants)

for seluar depends on you and tempat yang korang lawat laa. Normally Afat nanti bawa 2 pants: 1 jeans and 1 cargo pants, or dua-dua pasang jeans tapi berlainan color... pape pun, ia berbalik pada diri korang juga... hehehe... follow your heart!

Baju (Shirt)

cakap pasal baju, ni lagi satu problem, bawa je pakaian yang boleh match dengan semua jenis occasion, senang! kalau untuk 3 to 4 days travel, Afat prefer bawa 8-10 helai baju, kalau korang cepat berpeluh then bawa laa baju extra lg.. bukan ape nanti takut tak selesa dengan bau peluh sendiri...hehehe...

Perfume / Wet Tissue

For me it is a must! jangan laa bawa sebotol besar tu... beli lah yang travel friendly punya size, Afat selalu bawa my VC perfume 50ml to everywhere I go... hehehe... just untuk segarkan badan, bab wet tissue, perlu tapi bergantung pada keperluan dan jenis / cara korang travel... laki ke perempuan ke sama je, bole pakai je wet tissue...

Medication

SANGAT PERLU yer! dalam my luggage selalu ada ubat-ubat asas, such as Panadol, ubat selsema, my vitamins, ubat sakit perut, plaster and ada a few lagi, bukan apa, nanti kalau-kalau sakit di tempat orang tak payah nak susah-susah cari clinic...please jangan bawa minyak gamat! berbau...

Kasut (Shoe)

bergantung pada keperluan dan travel type, for me 1 sandals and 1 shoes will do... thank you ; )

Girls please don't be cerewet about your shoes... its travel time, bukan nak naik podium or cat-walk atas runaway!

Towel / Toiletries

towel kalau hotel dah sediakan tak perlu laa yer nak beratkan bag you dengan towel - towel ni. Toiletries... wajib bawa kalau kulit you tu cerewet, normally Afat nanti bawa my own... 1 shower gel specialize on treating my acne... then 1 body wash to protect my arms and neck's skin and the last one would be my foam wash. make sure the liquids doesn't exceed the limit, nanti nak fly susah...

Spec / lens

bawa je dua-dua okay, in case kan nak pegi beach tak kan nak pakai lens... nanti cair hahaha...

spec hitam bergantung pada keperluan, nak bawa pun ok...tak bawa pun tak ape...

Sewing kit
Sangat di perlukan, bawa la kit yang kecil saje... perlu bawa sebab malang tidak berbau, mana nak taw kan tetiba seluar or baju terkoyak cikit, butang tercabut or terjadi any emergency case? prepare je yer... please jangan banyak tanya...sebab pengalaman mengajar saya ye... ; )

How to Pack!

Depends on how many days you nak spend there, Afat normally travel for 3 to 4 days je, so I'll bring few clothes that bole match dengan semua occasion, but so far Afat prefer to bring 2 pans (1jeans/1 cargo pans), 10 baju (tak kisah round neck or collar), pakaian dalaman up to you nak bawa berapa pun demi your own keselesaan...

To Leave and To Begin

God, help me to tell the truth to the strong and to avoid telling lies to get the weak's applause. If you give me fortune, do not take away my reason. If you give me success, do not take away my humility. If you give me humility, do not take away my dignity. God, help me to see the other side of the medal. Don't let me blame others of treason just because they don't think like me. God, teach me to love people as I love myself and to judge me as I judge others. Please, don't let me be proud if I succeed, or fall in despair if I fail. Remind me that failure is the experience that precedes triumph. Teach me that forgiving is the most important in the strong and that revenge is the most primitive sign in the weak. If you take away my success, let me keep my strength to succeed from failure. If I fail people, give me courage to apologize and if people fail me, give me courage to forgive them. God, if I forget you, please do not forget me. - Mahatma Gandhi.

MY GIVEN NAME is Ahmad Arafat Bin Mohamed Esah, but most people know me as "Arafat", a student, a flyer, and some also know I'm comedian. And I am all of those things, but I am also a lot more. The people closest to me know me as "Afat" or "Araput", and aside from being me, I am also a son, a brother, a friend, and most recently a victim to the "cyber viral". For as long I tried to keep those parts of my life completely separate from "Arafat", but in private I am "Afat" or "Araput", a man who each day confronts the challenges of life, just like everybody else. While most people reading this, should have a clear sense of who I am, there is a fundamental part of me that very few really know.

Now, after all that I have lived and the many experiences I have been through, I realize that it isn't fair to separate "Arafat" from "Afat". They are one and the same. It has taken times to understand this, although I used to believe that the best thing would be to hid my personal life and the essence of who I am, now I hold the full conviction that my true happiness lies in living my life freely, without any fears or false treats. I can't say exactly when the realization hit me, but I do know that I got to the point where I could no longer live without facing my truth. I've decide and promise my self that I have to make turn in my life, after looking at my past... I wanna begin my new life.

Yes, I admit I am peoples' person, with lots of friends and attentions on me, but now I want to live my life. I know they will be there, but so far as I am concern, I've to leave. I'll make a first move by deactivating my Facebook account, which to date has accounted more than 1 699 friends. I want to begin my new life. I want to concentrate on me and my study, my carrier and my future love. Now I feel so strong, Free... More free than ever.

Just like everyone else, I have had to walk down my own spiritual path and live through my experiences, the good and the bad, the love and the lack of love, the sense of feeling lost and then finding myself, to arrive at where I am today. Before I could begin to answer the endless questions that were constantly asked of me, I need to face myself and of course, some might say I should have done this many years ago, but in the deepest part of my being, I am certain that the moment is now, because that is how it was always meant to be. It is only now that I am ready, and it is only now that I can do it, not a day earlier or later.

and to you my dear ex love. I still care and love you. It makes me sad to think I wasn't able to see more of you during that period of time, I was working and studying so much, always coming or going, always running, never having enough time to do things that really matter together. I did get to see you every now and then, in passing, but never again did I have the chance to spend days or weeks at a time with you, the way I did when I was with you few months back, when I arrived at your house to take you out for a dinner + snack + karaoke + ride on bike and send you back home at nearly two in the morning.. if I could, I would like to have you back in my arms...

when I write this post, I want to clarify that just because I have chosen to make a turn in my own life does not mean I will talk about the lives of others. Everyone has a right to their privacy and discretion...

last but not least I believe... if things get right, I'm sure that everything going to be fine, amin...
