Key to Hulu Selangor and Taubat without Regret



Riuh kicau unggas rimba
Langit biru kala senja
Kini engkau jauh dari mata
Hatiku merindu tiap masa


Pagi hari pergi pekan
Pakai baju bunga-bunga
Bila hati sedang kesepian
Ku tulis untuk mu surat cinta


Memanglah hai adat berkasih
Berpisah selalu gelisah
Terbayang kenangan yang manis
Terasa kau ada bersama


Padamu hai si jantung hati
Dalam tidur ku termimpi-mimpi
Selagi kita berjauhan
Hati rindu tiada tertahan


Kalau pergi Kuala Kubu
Tulis nama atas batu

Saban hari ku menanti waktu
Pulang segera kepada ku


The late Sudirman....


kalau pergi Kuala Kubu......tulis nama atas batu........that line... stuck in my head for years....


i finally went there in 1998...fell in-love with the place...it became my weekend adrenaline rush gateway during the rainy season...

I seldom mingle with the locals rather prefer to be with the Orang asli of the area.....they were my boys...........

For 4 years we spent our weekends in the rapids.......ferrying tourist on a 180 ringgit rafting trip from the put-in point up till Kem Bina Insan lower down around 7.5km........

I stopped after they built the dam...........the project fucked the river so bad........we lost most of the upper parts where it was so much more challenging....for example the Big Drop...where wannabe kayakers boleh terkencing kalu tak berani

Anyway gua malas nak melalut tak tentu arah....

a few things on my mind

Folks in this area sudah lama kena kencing( well nothing new there...)

  1. How many real estate project got abandoned during the 97-98 crisis where developer cabut lari...
  2. The damn project pissed off a lot of people.....habuk pun tarak .....janji KL dapat air....did it bring the so called "tourist" to the area......not to mention the major risk that the dam pose if it breaks......
  3. The double Tracking railway??? What the fuck all those years of mess......that was the key to develop the area
Speed up the delivery of No 3...........development will come.........folks can now live further from KL and still be there in a jiffy.........

And remember....No 3 is not in the control of the state....

Oh oh before this monkey forget......


aik......how should one understand that?

I repented but did not feel any regret over my past actions, instead I actually enjoyed them and think that it has contributed to what I am now?

Takburnye mamat ni........maybe its part of the key characteristic of the new up and coming sub-species Melayu Liberal kut..

So as my brain try to compute this Taubat without Regret..........plus not to mention the fact that mafaker announced it to the world that he did not regret it at all..........perhaps you folks out there can help me understand this unique situation


Do we get 50% discount on the dosa if we taubat without regret or do we get 100% discount on the dosa if we taubat with regret?
