My Life...as i recall it.. now that i am diagnosed with Early Alzheimer.....

Seeing how bad my late father had it,and that he was still quite young at the first wave,my biggest fear  is that the imminent inheritance will strike only too soon at me and that wishes to indulge in my own simple biography might not translate into reality at all.Thus, i shall try miserably here ..to tell you stories of near and far, if anything ,so that anyone can come up to me in the future of me being in  own world of  cocoon and say...did you know "........." and that i might even know what you re saying. will just agree like a six year old at bed time stories.But til then,lets give this a go.

From official records, i was born at General Hospital Kuala Lumpur on 23rd June 1964 and the  only memory i recall then was running around at Taman Jaya PJ near our house in Section 5 there then.My next best recollection after that was waking up at a "Tampin" hospital it seemed, after a bad accident that saw my mum,mak jah,two other aunties,badly injured on the legs and hips after our Mercedes 280 driven by a government driver crashed into a ravine somewhere along Tampin,supposedly to meet my dad in JB as he flew  there that same day.At that accident , i was sitting on my mums lap in the front seat and that thew impact flung me through the windscreen,on life support for 5 days,doctors gave me 50-50 chances of living.My first words, as i regained consciousness was Mana Reen..as i was very attached to my sister at that time.Mum told me she was fine and at home and as story had it,sitting at the back with mu aunts, she was also tossed about the car and had everyones blood on her and as the Medics got to us , she looked the most  serious as she was blood soaked, but being only 3, god always look out for them,treated for shock an sent home as out patient.Back at our Section 16 home, after that i recalled my mum shouting and crying in asking my dad to hurry up  as news of my great grand dad  "atok James Bond" had died of accident when crossing the road to Masjid Negara for solat Jumaat.Apparently that was a week after my release from GH,his prayers to god,ya allah...ambil lah nyawa aku dari nyawa cicit ku...god agreed.This guy was amazing,as i remember him,i was playing football and riding on his back as a cowboy at the age 86, and no complains at all from the old man..hence i called him atok james bond.

Before this accident  happened, i knew i went to a kindergatten called Tiny Tots in PJ near my Section 5 house ...and when my sister went there,all the teachers freaked out like heyy..watch for her too..shes Yazlis sister..sure dependent on the mother too..not knowing at that time , my sis  was Wonder Woman on her own  . ..more hyper than me ..in three fold..haha..

Then..the only thing i remembered about May 13 was army lorry load of my relatives were sent to my home in Section 16,we were kept there for a long time i think ,then my brother born 5 days later, with a cast on his legs,never felt threatened, i was proud of the  bigger family we were having.

Then i remembered my parents taking me for a world tour.I recalled we started west wards ..India,China,Egypt,Europe,London,USA,Hong Kong then home.In London , i remembered my mum recieved a call that her dad passed away and in tears they discussed whether we  should return home, dad  dis agreed,we wouldnt be able to make the funeral anyway,so as we decided to continue with the journey,the vengeance of my uncles after that unfolded til now.Meanwhile, i remembered that was the start of my attraction for females..those Italian girls playing in my mind over and over again and in London, my dad's  friend,Malaysian Commissioner ,Uncle Fatahs daughters were yummy playmates in Hyde Park..haha.....In Las Vegas, i was overawed with em Showgirls,and before our return from Hong Kong, I contracted measles..very badly...close not being able to fly back,mum wrapped me up in jacket,scarve,black glasses..like a real pervert on holiday..hehe..

Then school began..Grounds at Sekolah Rendah Alam Shah 1 were all too familiar as mum was already teaching there for quite some time.For the first month,going to mums class rooms for recess and having my laces tied were okay, then after badgering from classmates especially Razak and Rajendran,i demanded mum i had my own pocket money,walking away with 40 cents a day was sheer joy..haha..On studies front, top 3 in class was a must for me till standard 3,dad looked prouder of all as he gave the prizes away at year end, the late Hamdi was  the fiercest competitor  i had as shared no 1 with him all 3 years at third terms exams.

Then at Standard 4...extracurricular  activities came in and that took a serious
knock on my studies..first  a boy scout, then apprentice and team reserve for Under 11,relay teams a third or second runner for 4x100,and most significantly..my first love epic episode happened..da very special girl for me till today was  Intan Tun Suleiman..yupp..at Std 3 ..we were like adults smooching and only occassions she let me near the forbidden zone though most of the time my  imagination was bigger than i imagined..hehe...and zol and chekandar became my postmen at Auntie Faridahs PJ house...hehe..thanks guys!...









Mercedes-Benz A 250 Sport – RM239k



An ad for the Mercedes-Benz A 250 Sport has surfaced on oto.my, with an indicative pricing of RM238,888 for the car being listed, as well as an estimated market introduction in July, ahead of the earlier mentioned third-quarter arrival. The A 200 also has a tentative price, this being RM198,888.
UPDATE: Another oto.my ad has an indicative price for the A 45 AMG – RM338,888.
The car was first spied on a transporter last month, and then made an appearance – albeit clad in wrap – at aPetronas showcase for the 2013 Petronas Malaysian GP. Supposedly, the ad states that very limited units of the car will be allocated for the Malaysian market for 2013 – it probably rings true, that claim, because thebeauty-contest winner is going great guns sales-wise in Europe.

Proton Perdana replacement model



Proton Suprima render
The  Proton Perdana Replacement Model, this time a rendering by Theophilus Chin offering a front-half view of what the new sedan might shape up like. With the word being that Proton will be using the Honda Accord chassis as a base to develop the new Perdana Replacement Model, Theo has come up with a reskin based on the outgoing Accord.
Yesterday, it was reported that the automaker filed for a trademark for the name ‘Proton Suprima’ with the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO) back in January this year, leading to suggest that this might be the name for the new Perdana replacement model? As we mentioned yesterday, the name certainly sounds apt – the name Suprima is derived from the word supreme, befitting of a flagship car.
