True Friend

I find it more and more difficult to find a true friends nowadays. Always bumped into into a con man or friends which have a different agenda. But still true friends like we met while we were at school, college and university are hard to get nowadays. Those friends were the friends we gone through joy and hard ships together where we really know their hearts inside out.. so pure but now it totally the opposite.

I wanted to share you my two recently encounter. The first was a guy who added my on the facebook claiming that he had won a 148 million pound lottery and wanted to give away 1.5 million pound away as good will. I was thrilled and excited and follow the detail instructions, hoping that this may be my dream comes true and was also touch there are still genuine people who have a kind hearts to give away their money of charity and the sort. But... I did a google check on the name of the people and found that it was a scam, please check  Gillian and Adrain Bayford. How could people be so cruel, lie and cheat others. I am so sick of it. I immediately unfriend the guy and also upload all those report on the scam on his facebook wall and within a few hours it was removed. I reaffirmed myself that there is no easy way to get rich and be a millionaire... and obviously that is not the way. 

I thought I could put my mind to rest with the sickening act until a few days ago, someone added me on my skype. Although I have declined hundreds of those requests as my main purpose of creating the skype account was to be in touch with my family. However by having a friends who is genuine looking for friendship and sharing experience are most welcome. so I get to know this Captain who are currently working in Afghanistan serving for US army. The chat was genuine at first, exchanging experiences and I thought it must be hard for him being deployed in the desert of Afghan fighting the Taliban, although I was not agree with the idea of him being there. However, we are just an instrument of our nation in meeting their agenda. Since this was the first time me knowing him, I was very careful on what I said. So the conversation went on until he mentioned that he would like to invest in Saudi and wanted to know more about the market in Saudi. Suddenly a flag raised in my mind, how could an army Captain have so much money to invest. The US government must be paying a lot for their soldiers abroad but in my same mind, he could probably inherited the money form his family. So I did a background check on him on google and found that the person exist and that gave me some comfort to continue further.

So since he was very much interested with the investment in Saudi. I explained to him on the current opportunities that we have in the Kingdom and asked him on how much he would like to invest. He was mentioning US 15 million and that is a lot of money if it were to be converted in Saudi Riyal. As he sounded serious on the opportunities, I told him why don't we talk over the skype call so that I can better explain to him. When we converse, his picture and his voice doesn't match. A white American from Washington sounds like a black African from Africa by the accent. He thinks he can fooled me? I can even recognise the different accents in the UK even more if it is of different countries such as Europe, American, Australian etc. 

So guys I just telling becareful in getting to know people in the cyber space and don't reveal your true identity. 

My piece of advise, do cherish the True Friends that you have while you can and be extra careful in getting to know new people in the cyber space. There are to many con men out there....

Tahun Baru 2014

Dah lama blog ni menyepi dari coretan menarik dan mencuit hati. Terkadang terasa dah naik bersawang blog ni. Tapi cita untuk menulis tidak pernah pudar. Cita untuk menghasilkan buku masih tersemat di hati in shaa allah, jika di beri kekuatan, di tambah ilham akan ku gagahi jua satu hari nanti in shaa allah.

Hari ni tertiba timbul semangat baru sempena tarikh unik 010114, agar ianya menjadi titik bermula satu permulaan yang bermakna.

Selepas solat Zuhor aku pun menuju ke Taman U untuk pergi gunting rambut ala2 artis Korea.... I siap tanya macam mana nak maintain gaya rambut sebegitu lantas, I sempat mengambil video penerangan Wilfred. 

Dalam perjalanan pulang, aku melalui jalan yang agar familiar iaitu jalan masuk ke UTM. Di sini lah jalan yang sering ku lalui bertemu sahabat se kolej yg bertuah dan dapat berkerja dgn Kobena Sambu dimana syarikat tersebut berjaya memdapat kontrak bagi pembinaan UTM. Memandangkan ketika itu Ms N saja yang dah berkerja, kadang2 Ms N sering belanja kami yang ketika itu menganggur makan pagi... Hidup kami ketika itu seperti kais pagi makan pagi kais petang makan petang. 

Terkadang kecewa juga setelah bertungkus lumus belajar di ITM, tapi setelah grad tak de kerja dan terpaksa menganggur... Begitu lah kenangan silam yg masih segar di ingatan.

Sebelum aku terus leka dgn kenangan lalu, aku teringat untuk nak menziarah Mail yang katanya kena buatan orang. Tapi ku cuba menaliponnya tidak berjawab. Lantas aku cuba menalipon sahabat satu ITM. Kami dah janji nak tengok rumah dan aku nak ajak dia tengok tanah yang aku beli.

Aku pun pergi melihat rumah yang ingin di jual oleh sahabat ku itu. Setelah melihat keadaan rumah apartment 2 bilik tu, aku berminat untuk membelinya. Aku pun nyatakan hasrat hati ku itu, tapi aku dgn terus terang mengatakan padanya yang aku ni mungkin kalau nak ambil loan agak payah, lantas aku dgn selambanya menanyakannya " boleh ke aku bayar ansur2". Jawabnya ikhlas "Boleh..." Aku amat terharu.... Katanya lagi kita kawan dan lama dan kita ni dah macam adik beradik. Adalah sahabat yang setulus ikhlas di dunia yang penuh dgn pancaroba sekarang ni? Ku panjatkan syukur teramat pada allah seolah2 hadiah di tahun baru ini.

Setelah melihat apartment tersebut kami pun beredar utk melihat pula tanah yang aku beli. In shaa allah tahun ni habis lah bayaran ansuran tanah tersebut dan aku fikir nak di betulkan tanah tersebut dan di buatkan pagar. Kadang kala hati kecil ni berkata juga bila setiap kali aku balik, jiran depan rumah tu bukan saja melambakkan lebihan tanahnya ke tanah tu tapi juga lebihan barang2 binaan juga. Dan kini, tanah aku tu jadi tempat parking kereta dan bot pula. Kadang hati ini berdetik juga, mengapa dia tidak perihatin perasaan jiran? Adakah kerana dia ada harta dia rasa semuanya boleh di beli dgn wang ringgit? Tapi aku sangka baik aje la mungkin dia tak tau siapa tuannya jadi tak bolehlah nak minta izin...

Selepas melihat tanah kami pun beredar ke Balinese resort, satu resort ala ala bali yang terperesok ke dalam. Tapi melihatkan orang2 di situ membuat aku seriau dan terus kami beredar pulang. Sebelum pulang kami sempat singgah di Restoran ZZ utk makan mee rebus johor. Alhamdulillah sedap rasanya.

Agak penuh juga aktivi aku di hari pertama di tahun ini... moga allah senantiasa memberkati ku in shaa allah.
