last Saturday..

rehlah fi...

~for those who have to squirt to see, it says: taman pertanian Malaysia,bukit cahaya

ok, its my first time here..so i was eager to explore everywhere..
i became tired (i choose the bike over the bus ride :) ), but still im glad i choose the bike (lama x naik..yg ada kat rumah dah lama pancit,and is a little small for me now :P)..
and was also disappointed~ there wasn't any mushrooms! where it says that there is!..and i didn't get to go to many places!~the orchid area! the rempah ratus!..flying fox!, and kayak! just to name a few..all due to the lack of time (note to self: go in the morning next time, ne..)

it costs RM3.oo per entry ~ the fee for the four season house was also RM3.oo, the bike?~ RM5.oo for the new ones and RM3.oo for the rusted ones (note: RM1.oo will be charged for additional hours added)

~my red bike,new?..urm..what do you think?

~the map: really do wish i could explore everywhere

~new housemates + old housemate + new friends

entered the 4 season house..it was currently winter there..

~tiny snowman with a funny nose..i should have advised them to replace it with a carrot

the temperature in the house was cold..but it just doesn't feel exactly as the temperature overseas, well it is human made, so who am i to complain..the temperature is the result of air conditioners~duh!~*whacks self* x kanlah salji turun kat sini..hujan air batu adalah

hafsah: x puas hati!x dpt bermain dgn snow! + x puas hati, as the wallpaper which was showing a white scenery is pealing off (really they really should give more proper maintenance to this place!!)

~~ate ABC after that..and now am suffering from it! *coughs* *coughs*

topic-less

2010-01-01T01:35:00.004+08:00

bismillah,

exhausted..
after dragged to shop..
after helping in the kitchen after retuning home from dropping..
after setting of to join something, somewhere after cooking ..

so basically today was tiring..everything happened on the spot whereby no plans had been made previously..
didn't plan to go shopping..
never expected that my uncle (ayah su) would suddenly drop by..
didn't know that ngah friends where so eager to join the something (she didn't even react and say anything when i mentioned the matter previously~talk about peer influence!)

hafsah:

~~at jusco

..1st stop MPh, next..staright to the shoe department. aim: to buy a new pair of shoes for an ex-SPM candidate before she goes to jawa

~~more than 1 hour later: still at the shoe department

~~some time after that(it seemed like ages!)

still there. almost succeeded in buying a pair when suddenly the soon to be shoe owner said that she really wanted that one which wasn't on sale.. the kind hearted sales promoter out of no where uttered that those kinds of shoes are going to be on sale tonight due to the new year celebration. end result: no shoe bought :(

~~home, sweet home

after balik dr shopping...ayah su who today suddenly decided to come to jb to buy a music instrument stopped by..time salam ayah su tetibe cakap "hafsah, kenal tak?" sambil tunjuktunjuk dan mengalihkan pandangan ke kawannya..i looked, and unfortunately his friend at that time looked up too, so i smiled at ayah su and anggokanggok kepala..*dush* realitinya dalam minda n hati berfikir dan tertanyatanya siapakah? (ini dilakukan sematamata untuk tidak mengecilkan hati sesiapa..)..proses pemikiran dan soalmenyoal adikadik diadakan didapur tempat pertemuan chefchef..siapakah?kawan dari kumpulan nasyid apakah??suddenly hanan spoke...

hanan (ngah) : oh ngah pernah nampak dia kat tv, dia ahli kumpulan faiz...
me: kumpulan apa?
hanan: ala..kumpulam faiz
me: ???

~~andaikan dah habis masak

me: (still tengah pikir + gets ready to go somewhere)..

~~dalam kereta

me: ish..siapa kawan ayahsu tu?!faiz?faiz?!kumpulan baru kot..banyak sangat kumpulan baru..kenapa lah ayahsu tanya kat kakak?
hanan : sbb dia ingatkan kakak tahu..kakak kan peminat nasyid..
me: ?!?!?...*thinks some more*....kumpulan far east pernah la dengar..faiz x pernah..
hanan:ye lah..dia kmpulan far east..kan ngah dah cakap tadi
me: ger..sebut lah betul2 siket (haha..teringat pulak selalu kena tegur tuk open my mouth wider so that my words can be pronounced and be heard more clearly time asasi dulu~ thanks to azahari (aka panda?apakah?!~wonder where he is now?)

~~after several hours

me: *yawns* byknya kereta!

.........
stops and ends everything here :P lazy to type in anything else

apa2 pon to everyone who tried to join that something, somewhere to help..although unsuccessful in going there and helping out..i'm sure that all your efforts are not in vain as HE looks at our nawaitu..alangkah pemurahnya DIA..segala niat yg baik walaupon belum atau tidak dilakukan coz ada halangan diganjari dgn pahala..but not likewise with dosa aka:sins, dimana ianya hanya akan diberikan seandainya perkara itu dilakukan...lagi pon as i always remind myself, pasti ada hikmah disebalik segalanya..(wouldent dare to imagine what would happen if one of hanan's friend didnt accidently left her handphone in the car or if we had dropped the girls and left them to walk all the way to somewhere earlier~the night holds lot of mysteries ne..)

1 + 1 = 2

bismillah..

[get organized + kem i love islam 2 = 2 events]

yosh..just came home from hearing a talk titled (1) 'get organized'..
so without further ado here's my list (its short because i'm suddenly sleepy right now)..

[ ] finish updating this post (its been a draft for quite a while~ cause: tangguhtangguh + malas nak upload gambar ~ tapi nak wat gak, hehe)

[ ] wash my bag (better do this early in the morning)

[ ] clean house + room and all the usual stuff yadayadayada..

[ ] renew my driving license..i say, dah lama dah lesenku mati

[ ] get some shut eye....zzzzzzzzzzz

before i go further here's one of the vids shown during the talk..

moving on, lets keep everything short and sweet...

(2) kem i love islam siri 2 (21,22,23 December 09)

day 1 ~ the kids went creative and did some animal origami's + baked kek batik and also made some delicious looking chocolate cornflake tit-bits.

gambar x banyak. reason: i was'nt officially a facilitator today or to be exact i wasn't even around. reason: baru sampai JB yesturday. reason: urgh..I've got to stop giving reasons..

day 2 ~ they listened to a talk (not quite sure what the title is though) + played a crossword puzzle + became temporary actors or singers

day 3 ~ the trip..destination: pelabuhan tanjung pelepas + kota iskandar + a park located in mutiara rini (huhu,sorry park..i have absolutely no idea what your name is)

apeape pon this siri wasn't as tiring as the first (yg first memang terus collapse bila sampai rumah + nampak katil :P) ~ tp yg pasti mereka semakin nakal! (hum..mungkin dah tahu kakak ni x garang..hehehe,yeye je..x tunjuk taring coz bukan adik sendiri, but there where certain times when we needed to be a little harsh on them i.e bus nak berundur, merekamereka semua pulak berlarilari + berebutrebut untuk naik bus dulu..ayoyo..geramnye..(sabar hafsah sabar!!)...and also the time when they kept on playing + climbing although it had started to rain heavily.. oops..this is getting quite long..so i should S.T.O.P..stop, period.

now for the pictures ~ warning! there where too many pictures taken..so i had to pick several only (jenuhla nak upload kalau nak upload sume) ~ i took too many, terkejut dibuatnya when i saw the number of shots taken while transferring the pictures to kak yati's laptop..total number? 444 shots on day 3

yosh...dah siap..so finally i can check this out..

[ / ] finish updating this post ~ yup, done..done!

~shuts down computer and goes to sleep...nite

p/s: thanks lots zainab for taking some pictures :)

tahniah.tahniah.tahniah

2009-12-24T14:41:00.001+08:00

bismillah..

~reached school..

~ debaran.debaran.debaran

~bagaimana keputusan, bang oii?(or should i call him 'dik' oii?)- gembira?bahagia?..senyuman yang sungguh sukar untuk ditafsirkan

~balik..balik..ayuh balik

anyway..

congrats to zaynab dan najihah ~ 8A's (keputusan dibocorkan oleh dalilah :P)
congrats also to dalilah ~ 9A's!

mak long called, nizam got 8A's ~ congrats bro!

and congrats also to all the PMR achivers...

apaapa keputusan yang diperolehi pasti ada hikmahnya..
kepada yang telah berusaha, teruslah berusaha lagi, kerana kekadang its not always the result that matters but its the effort we took to achieve it...
this is because satisfaction comes when we know that we have given our best..
lagipun dah berusaha, dan dah tawakal so sekarang the only thing to do is pasrah dan redha dengan takdirNya..
kepada yang x berusaha pula, x heranla kalau x dapat apa yang diimpi-impikan (ke x pernah bermimpi untuk dapat apaapa?~pergh, tajam betul katakata ni)..
apaapa pon kalau dah sedar berubahlah, kerana masih ada masa..its still not the end of the world..
lagipon walt disney pon ada berkata dalam movie meet the Robinsons...
"Keep moving forward"..
Failure is NOT about falling down but it's about refusing to get up.

p/s: 18 students achieved 9A's in SMIH this year ~ congrats again

..ok, now lets move on to another post :)

BBQ dinner

2009-12-21T20:28:00.000+08:00

bismillah,

lately i haven't had much time to update anything..

19/12/09 ~ summary only :P

morning: bersihkan ayam, ikan, udang and sotong in mass quantity (we had to use several basins to accomplish this) reason: upcoming BBQ dinner tonight
-no picture allowed, to much blood and fatty mass-

noon: after the prayers~ the convoy took of to a wedding ceremony~ after that we stopped, shopped, and dropped where?= sogo
-pictures?,urm nevermind, not in a mood to upload that many today-

night: we (as in my family) came late (seriously the jam inside sogo's parking space was terrible) and so once we reached home the most awaited event had already started..its BBQ time..
-here's some pictures to make your saliva running-

~the only male chef (when i arrived that is) , thanks nizam for helping~

~ my skillful cousins ~

~yummy~

note: due to participation in the cooking event pictures of the fishes, shrimps, octopus cannot be taken besides the sausages

end
...

up,up and away

2009-12-19T07:25:00.000+08:00

off to kl...well to be honest am already in kl this very minute..

2 invitations to a wedding ceremony (my father's cousin and one of his friends)..

so yup, my grandma's house is full to the brim, ape taknya semua sepupu sepapat and even those who have just finished SPM, who weren't here before are here, not to mention that sume dah besarbesar n panjangpanjang belaka (this applies especially to the boys)...and so yes, the living room is once again full, especially during the night (semua kepanasan, so the best avenue to sleep in is the handy-dandy living room~believe me, although this isn't actually suitable and practicable to all)

~all for now~ :)

around da world less then 24 hours

2009-12-14T01:49:00.000+08:00

bismillah...

kayaaa...got carried away and forgot to update this so called blog of mine..

i traveled!...yup, im not kidding saw lots and lots of places..such as the...

great wall of china

lady liberty

and also the leaning tower of Pisa

besides taking a short trip to our dear petronas twin towers

however i did miss a few, like Hollywood and also the pyramids in Egypt all thanks to the tired kids! (yes...they're the kids in the photos [well that's only part of them]~dont bother asking where i am: i always am the cameraman~not complaining, i <3 snapping).

so i'll let the cat out of the bag, i had a trip to 'tropical village' on the last day of a 3 day kids program called 'i love islam' (8-11 dismember) it was really fatigue but fun at the same time.. before the trip... on the 1st day ~of the program the first day we (the kids + facilitators + instructors) made some tit bits, sandwiches for tahap 1 + also all the boys of tahap 2

and cute cupcakes for the girls of tahap 2

*sigh*~after all the work i didnt even get a bite of this!

but before that the thp1 kids had a colouring contest while the thp2 had listen to a talk.

2nd day ~we all preformed the duha prayer then the kids learned to recite some verses of the quran + played musical chairs + had a story telling contest +sang along to several songs

demi matahari...

in the evenings we did a little craft work and made some decorations which also functioned as a sort of air freshener (the kayu manis and all the herbs used made these)

3rd day ~trip to tropical village...since pictures speak louder then words, i wont elaborate..

jangan potong barisan...beratur, jagan x beratur

ha dah nak masuk dah.sabo.sabo

oh, berbalik kepada pengembaraan yg x berjaya ditamatkan kerana bebudak dah keletihan..on da way down, a kid approached me and asked 'akak nampak x abg anas', it was a coincidence at that time that i did, so i pointed to his direction...tetiba...vrooooooom...sume bebudak that were following me down menyerbu anas..i paced up with them dan sempat mendengar anas yg diserbu bertanya kenapa semua menyerbunya, a spontaneous kid then answered: (i think it was the same kid that asked me earlier) "tadi kawan kata abg anas ada air"(dgn riak muka yg bersungguh2), tersenyumku dibuatnya, apa x nye these kids where really, really thirsty

ape2 pon after that, they all received their drinks

+ had lunch + rehat + rehat + rehat..

solat + bought souvenirs (ape2 je lah souvenirs dia~ni kira mengcritic, stickers, handphone straps and things you can get at normal shops anywhere~oh well, the kids still bought them, sampaikan air2 sume diborong..untunglah mck2 kedai .. :) )

naek bus~and went to the next destination,unfortunately the place was closed..so we used plan b, and went to an aquarium + tempat beli kepok..our final destinations before heading back..

kat aquarium huruhara jadi tempat 2 + ikan sume jd gemuk2 n kenyang2 belaka coz bebudak ni beli mkn2 ikan berulang2 kali

~ tp pck kedai sure x marah, banyak ikan mereka beli..habislah makbapak kena beli acquarium lepas nih..hehe

perjalanan pulang~mereka sesume tido...tidak!, tidak!,tidak sama sekali. the kids where all still energetic and full of kid power!fasifasi lak sesume dah exhausted n x larat nak mintak mereka senyap n to stay put~macam2 la ragam terjadi...x nampak tv lah, chumming gum kena kerusilah and etcetra (trust me you wont want to know the details)

p/s: maaf untuk bahasa campurcampur ^^
some credit goes to Ummu Fathiyah and generation5071for the uploaded pictures~ arigatou ne

nan-ji desu ka?= wow, gotta get going till then ttfn!

2009-11-25T11:22:00.000+08:00

bismillah

~quick and short update..

the hibernate button is back yay...didn't know what triggered it back though

i think it was due to the antivirus program which was not functioning~ noticed this when i remembered to actually update it..so i uninstalled it to reinstall a newer version

~really did suprised me - so one down one to go--will download an intell driver from dell's site later

~chow for now~going shopping ^^ sayonara

2009-11-24T10:28:00.000+08:00

bismillah..

succeeded in fixing 2 things by myself after doing some research..

the sound system works fine now besides the network connection (still gotta think how to set the intel proset/wireless (it says here that there is no adapter available-really?~currently using windows network)

the hibernate button is still a puzzle ~its greyed out and going into power option doesn't work~will think and think about fixing theses things later..(must fix this!although i don't use this option frequently)

~mood:happy as i suceeded at actually restoring and fixing something :) myself

note to self: make regular restore points and backups (how you ask?-start-all programs-accosseries-system tools-system restore-create a restore point)

~dewa mata ne ^-^

under repair

2009-11-20T20:21:00.000+08:00

bismillah

ditto the title...
currently working to repair my laptop..

lots and lots of symbols and computer words that i don't understand..which result to dizziness..

so far I've entered the recovery console and typed in c:\windows\repair\system c:\system32\config\system

restarted and hey presto i could log into windows (looks easy huh?~really the instructions weren't in English~well actually they where but urgh..in computer language..someone really should simplify it and make it easier to us layman!)..

good news after logging in?..everything's here...
bad news?~sound system failure (my bro said he could fix it really??~erm..I'll think twice before i give him a chance to fix this) and the wifi is also disconnected..other then that everything seems fine (hopefully)

currently copying everything into a hard drive (its my sister's~note to self:must buy one!)...

should call an expert tomorrow, or should i just be pasrah and give my 'little' bro a chance to convey to him that i believe in him, and say that i surrender?~noooooo...

all for now..back to the other keyboard

::lets ponder::

2009-10-28T21:25:00.000+08:00

bismillah..

short update..

here some videos from youtube which i came across..
they have messages to convey...put on your thinking caps and ponder yourself (come on they're not that hard ..)

...menerik bukan?harap2 kite sesame tersentak dari kelalaian...which brings me to the point that i need to pray...ok, the duty is calling me

>log off<

corrupt?

2009-10-20T10:10:00.000+08:00

bismillah...

huahaha..*cries* (bunyi cam apetah..huhu..)..what happened to my laptop?, x de angin x de ribut tp tetibe taufan melanda..
the screen doesn't go to the log in window that it usually does..instead its replaced by a black blank screen with few words on it..

defends self - i didn't delete anything or do anything suspicious with it yesterday!!

so i tried shuting the system down and opening it up again a few times but my efforts where in vain!..

pikir2..rase cuak x yah lah cakap lah..my criminal presentation that I've almost completed is in there!..making things worse all the windows cds (to restore the whole system) are at home *whacks self*

teringat kat kak fifi, so i tried to call her...tut,tut,tut...

me: assalamualaikum kak fifi hafsah ni..
k.fifi:tahu..
me:ada kelas ke ni..huhu,sori ganggu tp ada problem
k.fifi:ada tp lecturer x masuk lg..kenape?
me:td bukak computer, kat screen kuo, file is missing or corrupted nak wat camne ek?
k.fifi:oh senang je tu...gi copy file yg dia kate missing tu kat kawan and then try restart balek..
me:oh, camtu je ke..nanti kte cube..
k.fifi:ok, kalau ada pape cal lah..dalm pukul 9.30..
me:ok, thank you bebanyak tau kak fifi.assalamualaikum

i then texted k.anis and asked her if i could borrow her laptop to copy the file..i found the file but alas, vista's system file could not be copied..thanks lots anyway for allowing me to use it (p/s I'm typing this out on your laptop :) )

called k.fifi again and she told me to try and copy the file from windows XP (she says that the file could be copied in XP~really this is a reason that i should love XP ne?despite the fact that im not a fan of vista, probably because I'm not familiar to it :P)..

so that means I'll have to wait until k.nurul comes back home O-0..

called dots (its a cc place plus IT repair agency)..i told the problem, asked when it could be fixed and asked for the price..

and guess what?ok, the repairs would take at least a day, that's nothing out of the ordinary~but wooo! the price for repairing a corrupted file is also RM40?and RM50 for format?~only for something that k.fifi said was 'senang' (um..setaket ni x tahu lg la definasi 'senang' dr sudut k.fifi~she is an expert in this area, you know)- the price is similar to removing or healing a virus!~cekik darah betul!(hehe, lama x gune peribahasa melayu)..

so i've decided..nak tunggu dulu k.nurul balek kelas..nak try baiki sendiri (at least ada effort :D)..kalau still x leh, tegok lah camne, its either i go and repair it, or tunggu je untill balek rumah nanti..sebaik x de assignment pape dah..cume criminal tu je tinggal (i made a copy in my pendrive, but its not the most recent one~well at least i wont have to start back from scratch kalau ye lah computer x leh diselamatkan)

p/s: x gi tahu parents lg~esk test SOGA, khamis pg present criminal, khamis mlm test equity and trust~huhu, sat g ada satu je kelas..kelas bel..rase malas nak p (tp kena p jugak!!~ni kes lecturer tolak markah kalau x hadir utk dgr kawan punye speech~anyway i've never yet skipped any classes before)~and one more thing..its seems that the download link for the tajwid softwhere has somewaht expired (ish2..x kan lah berape hari je simpan!x kan x leh uplaod w/o registering~ni kes malas nak register)~so kalau ada sesiape nak g tahu lah..i'll send the file personally (that is, if and when my laptop is a ok..)

ok, all for now ~logging off ^^

::~da past~::

~anyway, i continued my 'duty' of promoting and selling stuffs today.and so i brought the 2 little girl t-shirts along with me...- cut.edited.deleted-...i showed it to a lecturer of mine, which name shall be kept confidential due to certain reasons. she said she liked the colour and wanted to take it home to see if it fits her daughter.i said why not, it was fine with me..she asked some questions and then seeing an opportunity, i said:

"mam saya ada jual baju labuh indon jugak..siap ada kategog..mam nak tangok tak?..ada macam2 design..."(well, this isnt actually the precise thing i said)

her reply was:

"x pe lah..saya pakai baju ketat.." "lagi pun duit dah x ada sbb beli kuih"

ok!tergamam aku seketika..i exchanged glances with syairah which at that time was fortunately there to be a witness in this accident, or indecent..

in my mind i was like what!..ha, tahu and sedar pulak pakai baju camtu..but sill pakai gak..
really, those words really do seam to be rigging in my head...

~off-dah mengantok..huhu..

ganbare!

Always being your same old self is good.
It's also a better thing to not say, "Why?"
Will you restart from there again?
This is the thing that really suits you the most.

A person is a person, and you are yourself.
If you try and compare to something else, then you will lose.
In ourselves we have the strength to never lose,
So no matter what type of wall it is, we will break through.

Occassionally, it's good to cry.
And it's okay for people to see your weak spot too.
But, don't get stuck there!
You can still do it, go for that dream you had before.

No matter how many words you say,
Only one word can be the best of all.
The first thing to do is step forward for yourself,
"Do your best" Even being that type of cheap guy is okay.

Even now, you might be worried about something,
Because it might be something that has been dented.
But, somewhere in the future with you,
We can laugh in agreement, we can make that path.

No matter how many words you say,
Only one word can be the best of all.
Come out from under that high place and continue up that slope.

Even now, you might be worried about something,
Because it might be something that has been dented.
After finally taking one step, you could start to walk again, couldn't you?
"Do your best" You see, it's really a suitable reason.

~creadit goes to aiLaMarie for the translation <3

*p/s:please dont ask me what 'cheap guy' is, i absolutely have no idea :P

i'm soo not in the mood to update...

ok, saw a tv program a few days ago it was about a designing show..well,that's not the reason i watched it...the reason was because of chocolate, c.h.o.c.o.l.a.t.e, yup chocolate..

the contestants had to design wearable clothes out of the chocolates,to be precise Hershey's chocolates...

ok and so now I'm longing for some chocolates... lets see if i have to buy some today

~signing out..

short, sweet and simple~ memories to note

2009-08-28T23:57:00.000+08:00

memorable events this week..

1.during administrative law, while we were doing our test en. Azahari who seemed to have so much time continued and made a new formula he said he was finishing one of Albert Einstein formula

TOL = TTT

* TOL= taking of liquid

* TTT= tendency to go to toilet

(en. Azahari's theory is correct in reality but not in theory~really how could this be?)

http://www.malaysiabest.net/2006/10/17/terengganu-bahulu-dan-akok/

Bought some Akoks one day, since its been a while since i last savored a piece and also because a friend of mine hasn't even once tasted this kelantanese desert. The funny thing was that she dipped the akok into the martabak sauce mistaking it as a sauce for the akok, i just stared at her for a few seconds and then looked left to another friend of mine thus caused the both of is to burst with laughter p/s: to the concerning person-if you are reading this 10 jari kami susun mohon kemaafan, ye lah, these fingers where the fingers used to put the bowl of martabak sauce on the akok plate to enable more free space on the table thus caused you to assume that that was THE sauce,well you could make a new recipe.. yup definitely, if the combination of akok + martabak sauce was ok :P

3.A friend finally got her new soney ericsson phone

~purple in colour with all the latest gadgets~congrats,penantian yg lama akhirnya berakhir :) - it even came with a pink..yup..a bright PINK casing ayoyo, kalau misplace atau hilang hp lepas ni x tahu dah nak cakap ape..p/s:also please jgn biarkan wonder pets bermaharajela ye!

4.

wendi d -flickir

A friend bought her first jubah and was totally hyped about it. I truly admired her enthusiasm to wear it, sampaikan gigih sembat manually dengan tangan sebab tak sempat nak hantar kat kedai untuk di ulter p/s:practice makes perfect, jgn sesekali putus asa menjahit~sometimes kena belasah je, buat jahitan baru..hehe

5. First time bukak puasa kat masjid negeri~the food was ok, although not sufficiently enough for all the visitors~alunan bacaan time terawih mantap...syok benar :) minus the part where he forgot some of the versus, thanks kak Farah for allowing me to tag along!~jgn serik mengajakku ye

P/s: i cant think of any interesting titles lately :(

the first day

2009-08-22T21:01:00.000+08:00

alhamdulillah,praise only to HIM, the mighty..

There was so much food, so many varieties on the table, making choosing awfully hard. However, there was nothing to worry about as all the food on the table was almost gone, in about 15 minutes before the azan was heard. It wasn't a surprise however, although this time the cooks didn't precisely estimate the amount of food needed for the makcik and pakcik, nenek and datuk and the cucu-cucu sekalian, who in total amounted to 31 people, all gathered up in a small living room in a house located in keramat (i really couldn't imagine what would happen if all of the people in my family tree where here!~all the so called little ones have evolved drastically-especially ewan!terkebil2 saya dibuatnya). In the end i was left with a plate of innocent mee + ketam + 2 karipaps (and no, I'm not complaining~i really wanted all these ^^)~everything was delicious..it was my grandmother's cooking and i totally am loving it~will be eating a tepung pelita once I've finished this.

by_tariqphoto at deviantart.com

kemalasan tahap maksimum telah menyerang:

-cant forget the event where the words 'just eat' was sang by en.azahari yesterday morning mimicking MJ song (the one played in advertisement on his tribute~don't remember the song's name)

-it is proven that everything 'ada hikmahnya' again. i.e= the event of me, missing the rapid kl bus to go back home after i just knew that today's co curriculum activities where canceled enabled me to save RM1 ringgit (yeh, the some might seem small for some people, but still remember the case where a bank clerk deducted 1cents from each customer's account and become an instant billionaire?) by boarding the university's bus~i was even given first class!

-bought a rappidpass which cost RM40, pros=x yah nak sediakan RM1 setiap kali naik and the amount is fixed, no matter how much you go on and off the bus for that month, cons= what happens if you lost the pass?I'll leave that for you to answer yourself.

::hafsah~to da study table!~but not until I've eaten da tepung pelita... ^^

tickets

2009-08-20T18:08:00.000+08:00

bismillah,

i just came home(as in rented home) easily with a ticket,
and although yesterdays news said that about 90% of the tickets where sold, there's still lots more available (tickets to JB)~praise HIM ^-^
hati dah senang sikit, usah lagi memikirkan pasal cuti (i dont even know where my familly wants to go this year~probably kelantan, but since two of my siblings have a big exam coming up, i might also be spending my first raya in jb~yup i've never yet celebrated raya at home)

anyway, i found this simple yet interesting photo a while ago

~i was probably hungry at that time~

oh well,all for now
note~dont expect me to update every day ok ^-^, gommen~just cant

wireless~ ^-^

2009-08-14T09:25:00.001+08:00

bismillah,...

short entry..

td pakcik stremax datang at around 7.45 (ayoyo, blum siap sarap lg kami serumah)..the wireless conection has been set and settled- alhamdulillah (the line isnt that fast, but its ok than nothing)

theres pros and theres cons to everything (hope i can retain myself from using it to much~sure tv lepas ni diabaikan (ye ke k.nurul n k.anis??)

yikes..its already 9.30, have to get ready for class, ttfn

Dinner is served ~ tada

2009-07-28T20:37:00.000+08:00

bismillah..

I'm at home, its been a few days since I've been here since Uitm officially closed down to prevent Influenza A from spreading.Well, there isn't actually any positive cases yet, but a lot of people are suspected, including a friend of mine. So yes, this means its the hols, a little surprising as it was unexpected and also because classes were just beginning to go into gear 3! (prepare yourself~after this will be going into high gear with no stop whatsoever~oh, i forgot to mention that our midsem break gets reduced due to this :( ).

Breaking news?I've got fever!just a few hours after i reached home last Sunday, don't know what actually caused it though, as i used my umbrella to the fullest, maybe it was due to the interaction between me and hawa (hehehe, really?)

anyway the dinning and etiquette program last Friday (24/7) at grand bluewave hotel was fabulous, if you left out all the formalities, the long waiting between meals and et cetra. We ate at a big hall where the tables where arranged like those in Horgwarts.

~the menu~

We ate mushroom sup and bread and butter for the appetizers, meat for the main course, and

~apple pie ala mode with vanilla ice cream~

apple pie ala mode with vanilla ice cream for desert. I loved the sup and desert the most, i wanted more. As for the meat, i only finished half of the dish, eating it was tiring, first you had to cut the meat into edible chunks without making more noise then necessary or without making the meat fly across the table or even accidentally drop the cutlery. The next obstacle was to chew and swallow it. Hawa accomplished eating her meal with breeze, intan's situation on the other hand was similar to mine (except the fact that she also didn't finish her apple pie's~what a waste).

~p/s: i've just ate some slices of pizza (its my sister's birhday) , and swallowed all the pills (ubat demam dah habis~yey~tp demam lak entahlah, sekejap cam nak ok sekejap lg panas balik), i'll put more pictures up later, thanks lots photographers for all the resources (although most of them are blurry >O< ) ~~ here's the picture::

bismillah

konichiwa minna-san,

no..im not going to talk about 'art attack' although i really used to like the program when i was a kid..

so here's the real story:
went to this program, on this date at this avenue:

we made many things among them accessories, i.e earrings, necklaces and bracelets. these, believe me they were easy to make, the items needed however where quite hard to find as they are not sold in the everyday shops (except for the beads)

~here's the bracelet [which i liked the most], the earrings and necklace also has similar patterns [so there's no need to upload the photos]

we also made a 'bunga telur' (note: its a gift Malays give out to the guests during the wedding ceremonies)

my fingers hurt after finishing this (lets revise physics!.. Force/area= pressure :) ), and it seemed hours to do just one!The 'teacher' also said that she sells one of these for RM35.oo (at first i was shocked-really!~we could have eaten at least five meals). But after finishing one, i realized, that the effort used to make it was worth that sum. In this version, you put beads in the wire and do lots and lots of twists..here's the first few flowers that i made.

~hoho..they're not so pretty [I'm not really good at getting the twists to be identical to one another]--but in the end the result satisfied me [you don't actually see the many small mistakes i made,but nooo..I'm not taking any requests even if you pay RM50 per piece!~i cant even imagine how many i can make a day, 1, 2 or only 3 perhaps]

next: 'bekas bunga rampai'

and by the way, guess who the teacher was, it was aishah the singer (lol, i didn't know her before this :P)

~candid shot, there where so many cameras so i just took a shot as proof

and here's something which aishah made, they're pins, but also can be made into magnets, creative ne?

(p/s: gomen for the blurred and LQ pictures, i wrongly pressed the small picture button , and that means that you'll have to click on the picture for a better veiw >O< -anyway im currently fiddling around with phothoshop again) i showed the pretty bunga telor that i made to abah when i reached home, he on the other hand just took a glance and then continued his work,he did not admire it..oh well, pretty and beautiful are subjective~ some people love long necks. yes, looong necks>>

~photo by Kyle & Dan

such as people in Thailand although nowadays the sum is lesser. i guess the new generations finally realize, that putting the cold, hard rings on their necks is a burden to them, mostly in carrying out their everyday activities, but yet some of them still carry out the tradition as its the only source of income for them (they get paid to put those rings on nowadays)

white teeth makes a smile nicer and many for this very reason spend thousands for treatment. But have you ever known that some ethnic groups in Vietnam, views black teeth as a symbol of beauty

~yikes..look at those teeth!
-photo by Liyin

(and don't worry i also only knew this recently, through a documentary made by Singapore called x-culture~i love the show, Malaysia should also to programs like this, rather then those reality programs to seek potential singers, actors, and dancers! there are lots of those already!) Anyway, these people blacken their teeth by putting on a substance which is obtained buy burning a type of plant. The substance last for a few days and is first put on a girl usually during the preparation for her marriage. They also believe that's its a way to prevent tooth decay (really, wow~this would save a lot, no more toothpaste!-yay!)

click HERE for more info and HERE for photos and more info

~~urgh enough now, the durians are calling me, i guess i got carried away! the word 'beautiful' surely is subjective!

the ribbon galore

2009-06-12T23:35:00.000+08:00

Bismillah,

short update

went to a program again, this time we sew ribbons

yes, i admit its much more easier than sewing beads on, but then again the effort and energy used to sew ribbons on are much more greater especially the big ribbons (that's obviously obvious right?a ribbon through a tiny hole, similar to a normal needle's hole- you could try this yourself at home if you are in doubt, but first make sure that you have the appropriate needle!)

again..here's some pictures to brighten up the day..

~mine~

~umi's~

~close up of mine again (not bad huh?for first timers and amateurs. And guess what this is the easiest flower to do among them all!the hardest is the blue flower [its supposed to be a blooming rose] and the orange one [its a tulip], as both of them require the use of big ribbons~

all for now :)

trip to 'kelate'

2009-06-11T15:48:00.000+08:00

bismillah,

the trip to Kelantan wasn't so bad, we went there for a matter of reasons

here's one reason, to accompany and attend a wedding (sebelah lelaki)

~the bride~

~smile~

~a once upon a time 'geng bus sekolah pak atan'~

my mother also had plans to settle this:

~a very old document!there was an older one but i didn't snap a picture of it, it was missing lots of pieces~

which she had wanted to do a long time ago

we hardly stayed put in my cousin's house during our stay, shopping was the main reason to this

we also went to Pantai sri tujuh, the kite festival had ended but we still saw glimpses of different kites as many visitors had brought along or bought kites to/at the beach. We also bought one:

~the cost= RM7.00, i liked it's spinning tail~

on one night we were invited to a 'kenduri kesyukuran' (thanksgiving ceremony?) semperna siapnya sebuah rumah baru. the house was humongous!i loved the balcony the most besides the side garden. One of my siblings even said that you could camp on the balcony!. One of them also asked umi to install lights like they have (the lights automatically lighted up once something come to their area and tripped their sensors)

we also stoped by at the permata hijrah headquarters. mission: my mom wanted to complain that there were ants in the product she had previously purchased. In the end, she got a replacement and guess what? my sister also had undergone 'rawatan membuang sinus/resdung' (note:everyone has sinus, its just a matter of quantity). My mother and i became spectators of the once in a lifetime event. My sister was given something too smell and also had cotton buds dipped in some liquefied substance put into her ears (and nose-this only happened once though! umi and i exchanged glances when this was done, we tried our best to stop giggling, it was soo hilarious!). The buds in the ear functioned to help know weather the resdung was serious or not. The louder the sound you hear (its kind of a tick2 sound) the more likely you have serious resdung. The powder smelt by my sister on the other hand also helped verify the seriousness. My sister sneezed continuously, non-stop, and according to my littlest sibling, who did all the counting with enthusiasm, the total count was 29! She stood near my sister and chanted 'go ngah!go ngah!satu je lagi!' (she wanted to round up the number to 30). i burst out with laughter (poor her). The hardest part for my sister was the blowing part, she had to blow to help the sinus flow out while the 'doctor' or whatever her name is patted her back, did massages and somewhat pinched her face. She was the most exhausted person today.

you can look at what the treatment looks like here

To end everything, my family dropped by at Cameroon while heading home. We bought a few things there and savored the fresh, cold air around us.

p/s: i was so tempted to eat these!just look at them!scrumptiously delicious!

~berries, cream and chocolate, yum2~

:) once in a while picture spamming feels good (minus the part where you have to wait for the the picture to upload)

new layout at last!

2009-06-11T03:59:00.000+08:00

alhamdulillah,

at last, I've finally changed my layout (successfully?)..

i sure will miss the old black background, but i simply love the colour and simpleness of my new layout, so tata and farewell old layout

p/s: you wont be seeing this layout change for a long-long while, doing xml/html/css is frustrating!and by the way i actually wanted THIS layout [its darker, cooler, and i love the way the pages move] and the way the paper crumples up in THIS one when you click on a tab, unfortunately i'll have to buy it, to get it, so yes, lets stick to freebies

i'll update later ~ time to snooze

an engagement

2009-05-30T14:56:00.000+08:00

In the name of Allah the most gracious, the most merciful..

as a start..every week, every day, and perhaps every hour a newborn is born, a person dies and also two persons unite in a bond called marriage..

and today was a special day as my friend sister was engaged with her beloved..
congratulations to the bride, Kak Husna bt Rosly..
everything went smoothly as they planed although ameerah and farhana could not make it..

i didnt have much time to chit chat though with ain as she was consistently accompanying the bride (i havent seen her since after SPM!)..
the theme colour was blue, but the bride and groom where in white,
kak Husna was beautiful as always..and yes, she looked nervous..

but in the end, ain cried more then her sister, the bride, well they are close right?, and she must have felt so happy for her sister..

so now its time for some picture spam::

-the siblings lined up and posed before the grand event-

-the bride and groom (the parents are also visible [they are the ones in blue])-

-a souvenir -

-and a full and happy guest-

and before i forget, ain asked me a favor before i left ::

ATTENTION TO ALL GEN8,
dengan segala hormatnya,
anda diundang untuk hadir ke kenduri pada hari Ahad, 31/5/09 ..
di dewan Taman Sri Pulai..

the more, the better (ain kata dia baru jumpa izzah semalam--degan nada yang sedih)

so apa lagi jom serbu dewan esok..

bagai tikus membaiki labu

2009-05-23T16:52:00.000+08:00

bismillah..

not really an update..

hanya sekadar melepaskan geram..

i tried to edit the layout and hey presto 'wow'..

hillang semua links..

in the end..i just reuploaded the old layout

not in the mood to update :( -

short=

1.last week sat and sun, went to a "bengkel urutan mengurut" with my mother (i was forced 60%,) = boring, not actually practical as there were so many 'students' (mostly whom are makcik2, well this program was aimed for them) and yes the time spent was way to short, imagine someone getting a certificate for attending this thus, with high spirits offered their services, which later on caused their customers who before this was a ok to be in pain..you get the idea dont you?

2. the weekend before that = went to another program, it was called 'jejari bestari' (if i'm not mistaken), Farhana came along as well, in short we learned to sew beads and sequins, and believe me it isn't as easy as it seems (imagine sewing for a day just to finish some decoration on a scarf). Loved the food (well it venue was at Pulai Springs, so no wonder the food was scrumptious). Got a certificate again.

pros of attending : both the programs were free and yes, limited, got a conclusion that you should not waste your money on beads and sequents (dresses which have them tend to be expensive), and anyway by not purchasing these things you could avoid tabaruj (dresses which have these tend to be shiny and glittery). But on the other hand you should from time to time pamper yourself with a massage as there are many benefits (beware though, make sure they are really trained!- i.e= my mom went to pamper herself a few days back, the day after that she got pains).

cons of attending : i am required to sew on sequins and beads for our raya dreses (tengok tu..baru je kata tabaruj kan~huhu). And i am required to 'show' and 'practice' my not-so-good talents on my little sisters. no elaboration needed.

well looks like its getting rather long..i'll stop here and not waste your time

p/s: ill upload the scarf which i sewed the sequents on later

-end-

update..

p/s: here's the pictures..

a close up (and yes they do look simple~~ but no!its not as simple as yoy think,you have to count the exact number of beads each time plus you have to keep 'matikan' the stitches each time you want to move to another row of beads (the function is that so the whole thing you have sewn wont be ripped of if one string breaks- only that string will be broken)..

this is what my mom's table did (really i just call her umi here to right, it feels weird calling her mom). there where 7 tables, and each table sew on a difrent pattern..

dewa matta ne (see you again soon)

:: missing ::

2009-04-18T14:35:00.000+08:00

Friday 17/4/09

Panic!..I was panicking! I couldn't find my phone anywhere! Nor hear it, after my roommate tried locating it by calling. I was absolutely sure that the battery was still ‘a ok’ and that it was not put in silent mode or anything (dah pon baru top up! :( ).

I was getting ready to go to Cempaka 2 to revise contract with a friend at that precise moment after done doing my ton of laundry. I was packing my backpack when I suddenly realized something was missing…

not expensive, a need, not a luxury

I give up searching in my room; I had a feeling that I had left it in the surau that morning after becoming squatters there since last night with kak Farah and kak Anis .I suddenly remembered the moment when the lights there where turned off, vital point: never consent in turning of the lights before you have actually finished packing your things..

To make the event shorter, I dragged my feet to Cempaka to not keep my friend waiting any longer as I was already quite late ( I went to the surau and then went searching in my room again when my efforts were in vain) -not actually that short is it?-

Shorter? - I arrived and fond her, she asked me on why I didn’t answer her so many phone calls (3 is considered mane ne?). That made me even more worried. I tried to call umi, but she was unreachable (it was a Friday, and she was working thus it was not an appropriate time to call). Abah was next on the call list. I dialed, waited a second or so and was greeted by a familiar voice... (I used my upax sim + my friend’s phone- nasib baik credit upax tak tamat tempoh as other sims does - urgh..how am I supposed to keep this entry short? – I keep including the details in). OK, back to my story, the ‘thief’ um...no…the ‘finder’ of my phone eventually accepted the call, and so began a session of could we meat, and could I have my phone back at this venue and at this time—he replied unconditionally ‘boleh’..

Friday 10.30am, I reached the crime scene with my assistant (cewah,macam ape lak – study revision bertukar ke penggembaraan menjejaki hp yang hilang…jeng3). She went and ‘investigated’ some Indian workers who were having their break. Nope the person we were searching for was not someone among them. He sounded like an Indonesian, so we waited some more. Finally, while sitting and fiddling with kak Anis’s phone, a guy came approaching the surau...without further ado he handed the mobile to me. I was speechless, and totally great full, only two words came out …thank you…thank you...

Thank you Allah, for everything,
alhamdullillah..syukur kerana menemuinya kembali...

P/s: my mom called latter on and said..."mungkin sebab tertinggal dalam surau lah dapat balik, mungkin dia takut pemilaik dia doa ke, solat hajat ke". i just smilled to myself, and thought really?

Currently in :: Exam mode ::

20/4 – contract II

21/4 – ctu

24/4 - consti II (this is the killer paper which is taught by a killer lecturer for this sem..Imagine, the highest carry mark in my whole lecture, which consist of 3 classes is 16 out of 30!!)

*cough2*-wipes the dust

25/3/09
just a short entry..

went to an aquarium today..the one next to wet world S.A, although the driver and the passengers didn't actually even plan to go there. But since class was canceled (we waited around 45 minutes!) the driver said whey not, while waiting for the 'souk al-Lail'= night market, to open..

the 'trip' was like our first time to the zoo, everyone was excited (almaklum, binatang2 dan fishes dah pupus, or nearly are around here, you can only get close and personal with one while eating..alah you know I'm talking about ikan goreng :) ) anyway we seldom get to go out anywhere these days (this includes to shop for essential things..kira ada roti and mentega jela dalam bilk tu, since jam pon dah habis)..

anyway, there were lots and lots of fishes, some suitable for cooking purposes i.e=ikan patin putih (really?), while some weren't. there were some other animals also, i.e hamsters though only a few and lots of tiny winy baby turtles which cost RM6 each (oh, i forgot to mention there were also worms, tons of them squirming all over in a huge open box).

everyone looked at the giant fishes at the aquarium's entrance and compared it to syairah, memang sah sekali ngap je ikan tu boleh telan sahabatku yang sorang ni..We saw some fishes that we have never heard or seen before i.e the elephant nose fish.

-elephant fish-

but what got my attention the most were the tetra fishes again. Subhanallah. I just stared at them swimming in different tanks in their own schools (fishes have schools, don't they?). the colours were magnificent. Its a shame though that these types of fishes needed more 'oxygenated water'(..urm, is that the correct term?) which means that buyers need to buy a pump in order to keep them alive.

- a type of tetra fish-

to end this entry, a friend bought a few small fishes a fish tank and also some fish food which in total amounted to more or less RM20.she was happy, we were also happy..

latest update: 27/3= one of her fishes had recently died

Saringan ke-2 Pertandingan Nasyid Masum

2008-12-03T10:24:00.000+08:00

Tuesday, homeroom, 0008

i just got home from watching 'saringan ke-2 pertandingan nasyid masum 08' (finally knew the event haven't i?). the show was OK, at the time i arrived until the end excluding the gamelan performance and another group (of which both weren't entering the contest but were called upon to entertain us) it was a bore (to me that is, don't know about the others).

there were 15 groups performing tonight and UniMAP was on stage at the time we finally settled down comfortably in our places. All my sisters set in front, to have a much closer and vivid view of the performance, and yes performers (teringat lak time kecik2 dulu, siap duduk kat karpet tau, to get a better view with my own unaided senses).

UPM than made their entrance next, which to be honest, my mom had actually thought we had missed. Our uncle/ayahsu's is representing his university, he's the composer and lyric maker of their song (um, didn't catch the title again as i was busy stealing glances at him when his name was mentioned, i wanted to see his reaction-must have been proud and nervous at that time). Note: he isn't taking music courses or anything similar to that but i guest its just his talent and passion for music.

i didn't focus on the following performances after that because i was distracted by their choice of clothing as in to much accessories, scarves, diamond bling blings, and the choice of colours. their movements in addition were also another factor, you know hand movements, head movements and et cetera (they always repeat the same ones over and over again- well at least its better then one performance i previously saw on TV, where the group kept nodding their heads this way and that according to the beat or rhythm of the song-i kept laughing and wondering, wouldn't their necks become sore after that).

to end this entry the 8 winners of this 'saringan' are jeng-jeng-jeng...(not according to ranking) :

UTM
UPM
UiTM
UniMAP
UIAM
UKM
UPSI
UMS

p/s:

i missed watching UiTM, UIAM and UKM performance and sorry there aren't any photos to put up (our camera lifespan unfortunately has ended and must be replaced with a new one)
the final will take place at Plasa Angsana JB Today (3/12/08) at 3.00pm
Hafiz hamidun was also present and played the role of a judge last night (so what..)

Problems and solutions

wow..alhamdulillah, finally i solved the problem which was bugging me since a few days ago, sound problems in playing flash things on the web (youtube, crunchyroll and etc- it was so frustrating!).

At first i attempted to clean all the temporary files, which didn't work so i moved on and downloaded ccleaner which to my despair made things worse, the sounds played in windows media player didn't stop although you had closed the player- wel..um..actually it was also my fault as i didn't untick w.mediaplayer box, bab kata orang it was like tikus membaiki labu. i then rolled back media player and then reinstalled the 11th version- 'poof' alhamdulillah it worked, media player was back as before.

But yes, the 1st problem wasn't solved yet..i searched the net some more and based on others advice and experience tried checking the computer Registry (don't worry, i didn't change anything here, but just checked and saw all the keys needed were there, conclusion=it wasn't a key problem). i was at square one again, so i searched again for ways to fix the problem. oh, i forgot to mention that i downloaded Codec Tweak Tool, but didn't install it, i opt to try another option first, the option was to uninstall and reinstall flash player that remarkably solved the problem (really, this was the most easiest remedy- why hadn't i tried this first?)-problem solved!

ok enough with computers, now lets talk about yesterday..

the appointment was due on 27, so my parents, my two youngest siblings and i took off at 4.55am (didn't leave on the previous night as my 'ayahsu' was staying in our house, he had a project to present at UTM. Anyway there was a pals program at the usual place last night- meet syaima' and nurin).

We reached Shah Alam around 9.00am, the place was already packed with citizens. I went straight up and placed my card in the box- urgh..please, i have to leave out details, i seem to somehow have a habit in including them in!..bla2, after waiting for some time which seemed like hours, i was finally called..i gave my apologies for coming late (i had a valid excuse).Only the upper part was 'installed' (the accident i had previously had resulted to this outcome= sure ada hikmah disebalik semuanya- the next appointment will solve everything), Dr Chia put on the appliance with breeze, he was gentle but at the same time i still felt that my head had to be turned this way and that in uncomfortable positions (it would be bad for body posture, i think). The separators this time as i later on found out were purple in colour. The appliance were irritating but better then wearing the separators by themselves. By nightfall the 'torture' started, really I'm just exaggerating things again- this is due to the many stories i heard that many people get fevers and become ill after putting the appliance on - i hope i wont, think positive- as everything starts from the mind right? (this is based on my flashback, wouldn't bother putting it up)-reached home at 12.00pm

Today- my mom and i found out that the bed which our visitor had slept in was broken (this is the 2nd time, hehe- the 1st time it happened was years ago, at which all my cousins where present, it was hilarious-we laughed and laughed at the scene). My dad thinks that he can repair the bed by buying wooden rods and replacing it with the broken ones- another problem solved. Anyway my ayahsu will be back again next week as he is amongst the people who will represent UPM in a competition against other universities which if i,m not mistaken takes place on Tuesday (I'm not sure of what it is though- what i am sure is that he is doing the musics , and believe me his music is superb). The finals will be held at plaza Angsana.

opps..gotta go..it seems that my tummy is rumbling for food, till then. ws

Past - Future

Assalamualiakum,

Hi..hehe..ok..finally im back (my vacation has started over a week ago, but I didn’t bother to post anything up- there was to much to put up, and so I didn’t know where to start..).

The past exams? = challenging..really cant wait for the results to come out (yeh right!)

The hostel result? = alhamdulillah my ‘permohonan’ was accepted..checked the result the instant I reached home, after being tempted by some of my friends who where eager to know my result (theirs were rejected- poor them, I encouraged them to make an appeal though- F.Y.I there were many vacant rooms in the hostel, including in the previous level I was in- wonder why they leave it like that?)

Tragic event – a hook on one of my bands broke off (cuak betul time tu!), cause = um…let that be a secret –I wanted to go straight to the doctor but unfortunately it was Sunday. So, my mother made an appointment in JB after I reached home – went there, and to make things short they told me to just go and get it fixed in Shah Alam (I concluded that they were actually lazy to entertain my case, besides the fact that they had already much to do in hand). My next appointment is tomorrow (27/11) at 8.30am, (well that’s what’s jolted down on my card, never have been called in at the precise moment though). Wonder what will be put on next, I’ve never thought that the process would take so long…till now the worst thing I’ve undergone through were the separators.

'seperators'

I’ll think I’ll stop here for now (as duty calls)..well, at least I wrote something up...updated the links and added a new gadget..wslm

out of service

2008-10-14T12:04:00.000+08:00

assalammualikum,

i just wanted to point out that i wont be blogging for a while until the exams come and go as there is much which must be taken to mind..

sorry about that..

strait to point- no time to waste..

(1) a once apon a time story (last Tuesday, 16/9/08)

i did have intention to actually type something, at least something but something came up and interfered..i was going to do a post on our trip to UM to attend:

but at the last minit think that i wont as i saw that kak anis has already typed and told the whole story whole heartily here's the link to the story..

(p/s: i got the info absolutely late, that is 2 days before the event, so i didn't actually pass the info on that much - tapi, alhamdulillah Nabihah made it there although a bit late with her friends :) )

(2) Recent developments? (yesterday, 22/9/08)..

Had an iftar with other ex-Smih students

venue: a seafood restaurant, nearby our campus (never been there though :p - didn't even take much notice of its name)

the menu:

nah, just kidding-for illustrations purpose only- didn't even bring a camera anyway- looks delicious,huh?

attendance: was not compulsory - but i went though as i was curious to know who else was here as in studying nearby

--akhawat:kak Sarah, kak Mariam, kak syifa', kak hawa, kak jasmin, aina and me.

--Ikhwah: um..don't quite remember their names- except for Azahari (who was also studying law) and anak pakcik Khir whose name was...ayoyo-this isn't good at all- must improve knowledge base of seniors names- tah2 jumpe tgh jalan pon x cam :) -owh anyway: both Haziq and Asyraf were absent, i was curious again and asked why to Kak Mariam which answered "tah ikwah tak tahu kewujudan diorang pon"- i was like 'oh, ok'- memang logik pon, if i hadn't seen them previously on a bus or what so ever i wouldn't have known their existence here too.

(p/s again: nak mintak maaf bebanyak kat sumayyah- i forgot to pass the sms to you- ye la it wasn't entirely my fault- i got the message late (again!) and the message told me to pass it on to aina and kawan sorang lagi (which was uncertain - thus there is no valid contract- da,da,dah- x yah nak start lecture)

ok..time to go, its hard to actually finish a post during lunch break (so yes, it becomes a short one)

note: 1. 2 more group assignments under 'construction'= contract and Malaysian Legal system..what am i to do..

2. nak anto assignment individual constitution kejap lagi- hope everything is fine and turns out ok :)

2008-09-12T23:51:00.000+08:00

bismillah..

wow, alhamdulillah, finally i have time, time for posting a post up, time for checking my emails, which yes, as presumed=was F.U.L.L, and mostly time to break the fast with my grandma, grandpa, makteh, and a few cousins of mine ..

Anyway, i reached Keramat at about 2.30am today, by boarding the rapid and lrt express, which was crammed up as usual (saw this cute little chinese girl-geram). Maktok cooked many things:bubur, pisang sira, cucur badak and etc which were all scrumptious.-stop, enough with that already

So, a week of test has gone and a week of due dates for assignments will therefore follow shortly...(I'm' currently doing my individual constitutional assignment- took a break to avoid boredom and sore eyes= :p excuses2..)..so tata..of to work

note- 1. next week 19/9- appointment with doc - wonder if the separators will finally be taken off (found out that they only change colour once, that is from blue to green)- quite anxious - don't know what will happen

2.holidays - start at the cut-off-date (wah2- just kidding) of 27/9 - dah beli tiket dah :)

The emotional cocktail juice

2008-08-08T10:27:00.000+08:00

Thursday, 7/8/08

ingredients:

+Frustraton,anger
My emotions are unstabilised right now, apa taknya if someone is left there to wait and w.a.i.t and WAIT for a meeting that as 'they' say will start at 10.30 pm (yeh right) but in the end turned out to be at 11.30 pm!! Janji Melayu?that's what people call it right? Luckily, i predicted that this would happen again and again so, i had a plan b up my sleeve.

+concern
The condition of my roommate was troubling me, her stomach was upset about something and was full of air (ni translate 'masuk angin' bulat2 ni) which in my opinion was due to an empty stomach (she only ate a sardine bun and waffle that evening although i told her to eat rice or at least noodles, her reason?=dah muak dan tak lalu nak makan benda2 yg sama tiap2 hari. To me this is also true, but what to do, it's either that you take it or leave it). She on the other hand believes that it was the result of food poisoning, and believes that the sardine bun was her culprit (im not to sure about this though, but i should also bear in mind that she has a weak stomach).

+suspicion, cautiousness
It was past 12 already, i heard the sound of keys jingling thus consciously rushed to the door, presumably to let my friend in. Surprisingly it wasn't her but instead there where two unidentified persons, covered from head to ankle (their socks were probably in the wash) standing and staring at my door. So fine, i was ok with that and greeted them (although quite formally):

"Ya..boleh saya bantu?, nak jumpa dengan siapa ya?" (urm..make note that i didn't really use bahasa baku, ok :p)

then came the reply: "takda papa, akak sajaje kat sini", along with a indescribable facial expression (applying last sems pcshycholocy lessons am i?)

So, i then asked: "akak ni biro kebajikan dan aduan ke?" (in hope that there was some info on Syairah, whom was taken to Hospital Klang when i was out)

the reply: "tak, akak biro disiplin dan keselamatan" (this means she was the one in charge of the skuad penyelamat nyer meeting tadi~yada x3)

me: "oh, ya ke?" and then i also added "saya datang meeting tadi" with a smille

her: "tahu, akak perasan awak tadi" (me in me heart: ye ke? saya tak perasan akak pon)

I didnt know what to do or say next, she was just standing there and gave me a look, a displeased look, which also somewhat looked like a hateful one too (i wish this wasnt true though). So i just closed the door but decided to reopen it after some moment. And yes the lady was still there! So i repeated my firt statement when i first open the door back then and also added "bukan apa tapi korang ni suspicious la"

she of course hit back at me "orang yang ada sifat camni sure buat benda camni jugak, tah2 dia yang buat"

i was like akak ni apakehal tetiba malam2 nak cari gaduh dengan orang yg inocernt ni...aduh, dah pon kepala tengah serabut pasal syairah and pasal jualan2..

so i simply replied "ye ke?then watch me"

and she was like "ok, i will"

...silence....

...at last..the bell rang, i was rescued by syairah and kak farah (i acted more dramatically to convert that her condition was terrible, to avoid saying anything more to the uninvited visitors-wahaha). at last they peacfully went (ayat hiperbola nih).owh, so this point must be under:

+syukur (thankfulness) point

So Syairah, kak Farah and i than had some quite talk...and exchanged stories...and in the end i finally realized that the visitors were somehow mad at me for being to talkertive in the meeting (well yeh, why shouldent i, we have a right to speak dont we..-i wont state the article though), senyap salah, cakap banyak pon salah than what should i do?(p/s: i complaind about the time management of the meeting back then)

So all for now,

recent update?=Syairah was in pain throughout the night. the medication pills the doctor gave didnt help at all. She vomitted, and couldent sleep. This morning she was transported to hospital kelang, and is waiting for a checkup. she is a appendix suspect. Please hope and pray for the best for her. till then..

p/s:didnt have to check this post throughly..might have some errors.

a secret

2008-07-30T13:02:00.000+08:00

I wanted to post this up earlier but never seem to be able to..never mind..

To be brief i wont talk about the daurah itself (went there last Saturday and Sunday) but just a tiny-tiny part of it..

so here's the script:

the situation lets say is when I and 'Mens rea' were at a cafe. They where talking until suddenly I asked a question on whether 'Mens rea's' mother also wore the purdah'. The reply was a 'No' which eventually resulted to a whole new story.

In short, both her parents didn't even know she wore it (well she thought so). So fine I was ok about that (well, i do share almost everything with my parents [mostly my mom] but not everything, so we're in the same boat). But that isn't my point in posting this post up, to be frank 'Mens rea' talked and talked until she came to the part where she informed me that 'Actus reus' parents also did not know about her doings (as in wearing the thing) but unfortunately for 'Actus reus' her big bro saw her, recognized her (duh,they are siblings right?-it must be obvious) and later on informed her parents which then resulted to a dispute with her father, who didn't approve of her actions. So in the end she just respects her father's decision and do as told. But in truth, little that he knows that actually she stills wears it in places unforeseeable by him that is.

The main question here is weather we are allowed to go against our parents order, as the case or the order isn't opposing anything in Islam ("it is a positive and respectful practice that actually liberates women, because it brings about an aura of respect"). Now, it is important to differentiate between purdah and hijab (for those, who don't know yet). "Hijab is an Islamic tradition that is based on physical and psychological morality, while purdah does not necessarily conform to Islamic teachings".

So again, should we or should we not obey our parents in situations like this? I remember a story of when Rasullullah S.A.W had told a few kids to go back home and ask their mother's permission first before allowing them to engage in the battle with the prophet,(this doesn't oppose Islam teachings,correct?). To be just, im stil searching for the answer and would ask my 'teacher' in the comming 'MDP'(as we used to say so in the old days) anyway as an ending to this post i'll end with the sentence 'saya budak masih belajar' so please 'correct me if i'm wrong'.

The taxi driver

2008-07-21T16:26:00.000+08:00

Sunday, 20/7/08

I awoke latter than usual due to a somewhat called irregular bedtime of mine. My mind went wondering last night thinking about the things that have happened to me days before, which I won’t probably share here because of certain circumstances..and yes, of course wouldn't I know that there was even much more awaiting for me today..So I did the usual, woke up, went to the loo and stuff. Studied contract some more, printed out past year’s questions and....

-canceled due to irrelevantly-

It was now 6.00pm... I was ready and headed to Kak Farah's room. We were to set of together to a Kuliah which avenue I did not know off. So at last we got on a bus, and set off. The situation in the bus was peaceful compared to weekdays (you wouldn't like it..the smell..the heat..the whatever..its like being in a sardine can. But the worse part of all is actually getting on the bus-tough guys/gals are better at this mind you!-budak2 merebut gula pon tak seteruk ni) . Kak Farah then, started doing her thing..she transformed (ni saja nak hiperbola sikit) beside me, I just stared at her, because she really does look different wearing her purdah (now whats the word for it in english..owh,never mind).We arrived at a destination and met with two other girls, both unknown to me, they were Kak Izzati and Kak Ain. To shorten the story, we waited until finally our 'petunjuk arah' came by motorcycle..(really I thought one of the girls knew where we were heading to but alas no, they didn't).We were lucky to get a taxi, as there weren't many left. Kak Ain got in beside the driver, while the two other kakaks (hehe..cam pelik lak bunyinya) started to get into the back. Which was fortunate for today as something happened just as a the two purdah sisters climbed on board..

"the taxi driver"

So everyone was in, (although I didn't quite manage to close the door on time before the car started moving),we were then greeted with a sentence, a very weird one mind you:

"adik-adik jangan jadi local, jadi original!"

........

Kami semua saling berpandangan..terkebil-kebil kekeliruan, what is this old man trying to say? So we said nothing and kept our mouths shut as we didn’t understand what he was trying to convey to us. He repeated his statement, not once but more then that. So one of us finally said Insayallah.

Throughout the journey he said many other things to us. Some where right and worthy to be taken, but others where not.

.....the pros,

he said "pakcik suka cara kamu tapi jangan sesat macam ayah pin"

and

"malulah kamu kepada pakaian/penampilan kamu sekiranya kamu melakukan maksiat"

....the uncatogarizeable,

"daun-daun akan gugur jatuh ke paha adik-adik sebelum sempat jatuh ke bumi"=????wonder what it means

....the cons,

he talked and talked mostly of which we did not understand until finally we understood one or two of his sentences...

"pernah dengar cerita adam makan iblis?"-we all went like"huh?!-nope,never have!"

he also stated that we were supposed to give salam not just after but also before the prayer. He said it was to 'respect' Allah, the kiblat??, and whatsoever. We all said that we never have heard of such a thing. Kak Izzati started to protest, but she calmed down shortly after as she had probably thought about the consequences if we did rebel,(he is a man, an elder citizen who we should respect, plus he is probably more stronger that 4 of us together despite the fact that he might also take us elsewhere if we do)

the worse part of all which made us all furious and dumbstruck was when the pakcik mempertikaikan kalimah syahadah..

"Sesungguhnya tiada tuhan, melainkan Allah"

dia menggantungkan ayat itu pada tuhan.(this part is actually a little tricky to explain) so he says that there is no god/tuhan. He also told us never to say the word 'tuhan' again. His evidence as he claims is that in the 99 names of Allah there is no single word that means god/tuhan.But the real point here is that 'Illah' doesn’t really mean god right? it means 'sembahan'..

I was emotional at that moment, with a mixture of feelings...I felt scared to what this old man was telling us (I knew that most of it were wrong, but imagine if he also did this to others..no matter young or old, newcomers and so on), I was angry towards myself for not being able to straighten this man back, and at the same time also felt sad for this taxi driver, which mixes true and false things together, that can tore up one's faith and believes. p/s: he says that he once had schooled at a 'sekolah pondok' (he even said the name of the place, which kak izzati has never heard of- so we concluded that this man may have understood his teacher's teaching differently or in other words is that he misunderstood).
We arrived at the destination and got off, the taxi driver offered us a trip home if we wanted to because public transportation was limited at this area. little did he know that we never..and I do mean NEVER with a capital N want to aboard his car again .
So the Kuliah started after Magrib, the topic was on fitnah (wow..really does hit a light ball doesn’t it after all the things we have been through right now)..

-forwarded-

The Kuliah ended, now we faced a serious problem...how are we to get back?..we thought and thought of alternatives besides the taxi and to shorten things up, at last we were offered a trip home by one of kak izzati friend friends(really..my sentences are getting jumbled up..). Unfortunately, it was now 10.30pm and we were very late, so kak farah told me to tell the driver to put a step on it, so I did (really why do I always have to be the communicator)..all well ends well..I got pass the gates just in time...with a pre-worried kak farah..

a small reunion..

2008-06-25T09:53:00.000+08:00

we meet at petronas taman sri pulai perdana at around more or less 9 o'clock after agreeing to meet there yesterday...but before i talk about that I should really talk about yesterday first shouldn't i?well...

it all started when nabihah called me on 21/6/08 re informing me about the plan she had long planned. So alhamdulillah i hoped that this plan was really going to work considering the other attempts that did not. She asked whether or not i could come, and of course i immediately replied yes (i didn't know about the others though, as many had not yet confirmed their status). So i offered to spread the word to others who i still or think i still have contact with which unfortunately in the end gets me a bit irritated..

i sms'ed sabihah and ain who unluckily couldn't come as they had some matters to attend to. One had to attend her relative wedding ceremony and the other had to help her parents pack as her family were moving to a new house (which is located nearby, so don't worry). Nana and farhana had already started their next semester. I didn't give up and sms'ed maisarah next, without having high hopes that her parents would allow her to go (this is base on experience) but unbelievingly i was proven wrong.I was hyped about her coming..and moved on to sms my next 'victim' ameerah afifat, who alhamdulillah was also given permission to go on this adventure..but my happiness didn't last long as a few unwanted things happened after that...

My hp let out its usual sound indicating a text message a.k.a sms was received, it was mai, and to my disappointment her sms confirmed that she couldn't really come after all(she blamed it on her bro as she had to take his place in taking care of her 'children',well thats how she puts it). I let it go, there must be something better to all this and took a short break from messaging (I'm not trying to enter a typing competition anyway). I resumed my duty and tried messaging min who I suddenly remembered out of the blue (well i had her hp number didn't i?), after a while a reply came in...

" %-) "=its a smiling face

I replied to get her confirmation on whether she could come or vice versa as her reply was weired. Her following reply was even more unpredictable..

"awk jgn nak pura2 anta msg yg ntah ape2.awk tgk no ni,awk kenal ke?saya x kenal awk n awk x tahu siapa saya"

fuh..my blood pressure sure did rise, duh?isn't this the number she used when she was in KMJ?So i gave her(well i thought it was a 'her')a reply, i was sure she was just joking arround..

"ni bukan Nur Shazmin Muslim ke?maaf jika bukan"

and here's the reply: "saya terima maaf awk n assalamualaikum!"(formal nar org ni asik gune bahasa baku je)

Hum..I really do wonder why people are like this nowadays, wouldn't it be simpler and more pleasing if the replier had just said "maaf awk salah nombor" it would have saved me like 60 cents(huh,berkiranya hari ni-her number started with 016 by the way). I even tried calling her home residence number but my efforts came in vain (this arises one question: has she moved?)-ok enough with that, lets resume to where we left off, the grand day..

Sunday 22/6/08,

It was still raining when i arrived, the girls who had arrived had all crammed into a car and where having a discussion or 'persidangan' as my mom says so (they were probably planing a plan B). I wanted to join but the car was so full, i passed. My mom, sisters and i waited for the meeting to end (it seemed like it will go on forever).At last, a car came by and nab went out. I went to the car she came out from and asked what their conclusion was. To cut the story short, they haven't come to a conclusion and were still thinking about it. I told them my mom's idea which is to just go to skudai parade or just 'lepak-lepak' and have a picnic at UTM, but as expected they said 'no'(one of the main reason was due to the fact that they didn't want to come across any smih students-lol). In the end, we proceeded our original plan after being approved by the two big bosses(kak Yati and kak fifi), Kampung Batu arang here we come...

We finally reached our destination at about 12pm, a little out of schedule as we had stopped at izzah's family shop to ask for directions and to spend some money on tit bits. The weather was fine although a little chilly than normal, but the water was freezing (oh,i left out the part where we had a tour guide-never mind). So here's are the tracking pictures and other pictures of us in the first pool/river(or whatever you call it)that we got into after jungle tracking.

Some of us even went higher...getting nearer to the waterfall...

p/s: there where two paparazzi s at the place back then- unfortunately they forgot to charge their batteries before coming so only a few shoots could be taken..

So i came down from the higher place with kak yati and tiah of course. Tiah held a firm grip on both of us (and i really do mean firm, she is strong!). We were halfway down when kak yati suddenly remembered tiah's saddles that she had forgotten. So she went back up to retrieve them. I waited at the same spot with tiah, who at that moment wanted to play fall (i really had to be alert of her actions in case she fell, sharp stones were everywhere). Upon coming down, i saw kak yati pausing and saying something to a couple that we had just passed recently but didn't quite hear what she was saying. So she told me on the way down that she had asked them weather they have been married or not when she saw them getting closer and closer to each other(pergh..ni tabik ni kat kak yati-padan la tadi mimik muka diorg ubah..). So we continued our journey down, noticing that more groups of people have just arrived including one group which also brought along a baby!wow!..

We had lunch, which was nasi lemak that was prepared by kak fifi. We were sure hungry, especially those who didn't have breakfast. At that moment nad received a message..

"jangan mandi!air tenang tak menjadi ukuran..lepas hujan air naik..bahaya mandi..makcik-makcik semua tak bagi mandi"

but i guess it was our luck as we had already finished bathing already.Oh, i forgot to mention that before that i had a game of hide and seek with a leech didn't i? it hid between the fingers of my feet. It tickled me, but thank goodness it hadn't had time to suck anything yet, thanks loads to asma' for taking it off (i hate worms!-this was our second encounter with the creature today..ameerah was lucky number one :p, the two other encounters was when one went up on the water container and somehow seemed to want to dive and take a sip of our teh-o and the other one came near Tiah, but i somehow managed to throw it into the running water, which later on resulted to a frightened Tiah who clutched on to us and didn't want to get into the water). Time was running out, and we had to go. Tiah once again got into one of her bad moods, because asma' little sister had borrowed one of her dresses. But this time was worser, she started throwing things. Empty containers were thrown into the stream. A bag that contained all the cameras and a few handsets were also victims of her rage, it was fortunate though that she threw these elsewhere and not in the stream. We then headed to the nearest mosque. It was almost 3 o'clock when we had settled everything..kak yati wanted to try her camera again, luckily it had just enough power for one last shot..so cheese...

"ahli rombongan (kecuali kak yati) dikepit oleh 2 pengangkutan kami"

but wait..thats not the end, we had a short re planing and agreed on going to jusco to celebrate nabihah's and nurin's birthday. Nab's car went straight to syahidah's house, and sent asma' straight to her car (her father wanted to use the car-so she could not join us to celebrate). Nad and i were sent to her house by kak yati who then had to rush of to check tiah's health. We planned to fetch nurin (well we were going to celebrate her birthday weren't we) and maisarah who's parents had fortunately came back home by then.

Jusco was full at the time we arrived there, of course it is it was Sunday! so we had a problem in finding a parking space. I told the others that my father usually parks outside, near the stairs if the parking space was full. There was a double line there but so far no fines have been made (info archived from my mother). But the driver and the other passengers didn't want to take any risks(well we were still holding the P licence weren't we?). So we had a second try at finding a parking space. Suddenly mai startled everyone in indicating that she had just saw a free space. I got moving and immediately got a role in becoming a temporary traffic policeman, to reserve the area for a v.i.p car (ok, I'm exaggerating). A car came and signaled that it wanted to go in the reserved place. But i using my skills i succeeded in conveying them that the place was booked, so the driver drove off peacefully. Along came another car, this time driven by a Chinese man.He signaled and i on the other hand did the same thing as before, but this time the driver didn't budge (ni kes tak nak mengalah). So i just stood there and ignored him to show him that i to could play that game. I was a little relived when nad finally came, and let her in. My mind however was still thinking about the driver (he was probably mad with me).

Nad reversed the car to get a parking position and then let down one of the front windows. She suddenly asked me : "calar x kereta" (lebih kurang lah bunyinya). I went and checked the front of her and was shocked to see it damaged. The other car however, was worser off. It even had some dents on it because of the impact. Some of my friends panicked. An expert driver was imported to our aid, our car was sooo near the other one. So the parking was settled. The next problem is what are we to do with the dents and scratches??should we wait for the driver to return?=no, that would be a waste of time, should we just go and park elsewhere?=no, that would be so irresponsible and wrong. So nad scribbled something on paper along with her contact info and clipped it in place with one of the wipers in the front window. We continued walking to ayamas..

Ayamas was almost deserted, we ordered the menu and waited. Some started eating a little when the dishes came as they were hungry once more. I suddenly got a call from an unknown number, it was kak yati, she asked where we were and asked if we had a cake so i answered her question honestly. While waiting again, it was nad's turn to answer her phone..it was the car owner(alamak!). She then went out to settle things. the food became cold. Kak fifi, kak yati and tiah finally came. Tiah, obviously was the first to reach us with a cake in her hand. We opened it and tiah immediately grabbed the candle and tried sticking it on the cake (she got angry when we tried to take them off). She blew the candles and yes, cut the cake (it was a disaster!). Pieces of cake went flying everywhere. We had the messiest table there other customers just watched us in amusement, well tiah especially. She really had fun feeding us the cake. After eating nab said it was getting late so we had to go. Although, it was only a short reunion and only a few friends could come it still had a big impact on us. We said goodbye and parted.

p/s:sorry for the long post...i was making up for not posting anything up for some time-I'm not really a good blogger am i?

homeroom, Monday 12/11/07 ,10:54 pm

Bismillah, and alhamdullilah..yuppie! at last the electricity is on again after some time which seemed like ages. I've just finished reading 'the memory's keepers daughter' at last. A tragic novel from the beginning that really provokes the readers emotions. Kim Edwards writing somewhat makes readers feel what the characters of the story where facing through every moment, and believe it its a 'he' we're talking about here. Back to the story, the synopsis is mainly about David's life- a bone surgeon, how he had meet and fallen for his wife, Norah, married her and about how he had delivered his very own twin babies, Paul who he had tried to love and care for dearly in his own way and Phoebe who he had given away due to down syndrome and because of his own dark past, hidden deep inside himself. Ok i think I'll stop here - I'll spoil the curiosity of readers if i carry on like this wont i?bottom line- the story is deep in language (not literature, what i mean is that it full of 'ayat yang berbunga-bunga'- and has many details) so don't worry it isn't hard to understand.

Now enough about fiction stories..lets go to real life mode...
A week has passed by since my feet landed once again on a place i call home and i was eager to write something in this somewhat called blog of mine. I've realized that its been ages since i posted a new post, but somehow i never really bothered about it much(although I'm almost online everyday thanks to technology (whether wireless or not)). The assignment was over, this blog assignment was over and we had now the freedom to do as we pleased- whether to continue the blogs that we had created or simply delete them with a click of the mouse (easy huh?)- we had been given options. it didn't really matter to me what would become of this blog as i could just leave it like that to be what it has become (in other words i could just neglect(really is this the word?) it as i have done previously with my multiply-hehe-no offense.. its hard to keep these online things going and up-to-date. But then again, I ask myself 'why not?',it doesn't do any harm, does it?, so here goes..

Yesterday was my little sister's "graduation" day (wow!they have graduations for small kids. she was only finishing kindergarten). At first i hesitated to come along (they're doing the ceremony at Nusa Mutiara again- I'm bored stiff with that place already) but finally i gave in and so became the photographer. Here's a picture of her.

'kawaii'

so 'kawaii', isn't she?which reminds me of a video which was sang by a Japanese band named hey!Say!7..the kids were also cute!

so i think thats all for the time being..arigato for taking time to read.. :) -adios

*kawaii=cute in Japanese

a night out..

2007-09-29T03:13:00.000+08:00

We were running late, it was almost 7 o’clock already, yet not all of us had arrived yet. So we waited until finally, we were complete and started to get a move on it as our hand phones didn’t even stop beeping (one of us was to bring plates, spoons and etc mind you!).

Luckily we reached in the nick of time although out of breath, and helped prepare the table. The photographer (Athari to be exact) had happily snapped away doing his job.

'THE PHOTOGRAPHER'

Not all of our class members had arrived yet when the Azan was heard a few minutes later indicating that it was time to break our fast. I ate the caramel pudding first, some say I’m weird-but who cares..., it was sweet, and so tasty. I also had..... -canceled because I don’t want to talk about food all day long-.

'PIZZA ANYBODY??'

I was quite full after a while, oh, wait a minute I forgot to mention Mr. Alfred Philip, our Bel300 lecturer didn’t I? He for your information had made drinks, using his own home recipe (I’m not quite sure what he calls it but truly I can assure you, that it wasn’t half bad). The ingredients are as follows;

+Orange cordial

+Mango cordial

+100 plus??

+Lime juice (limau kasturi)

+Sugar

+And water

So what you do is you just put the whole lot and stir and ‘vola’ your drink is ready. p/s: add anything more or less according to your own taste.

It was nearing 8 o’clock and we haven’t prayed yet! So I quietly went out with Syairah to perform our duty. Luckily we survived! As the Azan was heard shortly after we prayed. Some weren't as fortunate as us. We then went back to the party, but to our disappointment didn’t even see any trace of the cake that they had just cut when we left the place.

'HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME...'

But I guess there are ‘hikmah’s’ behind everything, which most are not known by me, what I care most is that we didn’t miss our prayers.

My mind didn’t stop thinking after that; if I’m not mistaken I didn’t even see the boys budging from the food table. I don’t think my eyes where playing tricks on me because Anum had also seen the same. What am I supposed to do? Part of me wanted to directly say it to them but I thought a little more, as they are boys and by advising them their egos would surely raise (even more as the advice came from a girl). So nope, I didn’t advise them, as it would better off come from the mouth of a boy instead.

Back to the party, it went on smoothly although Azril had left early (it was his birthday tomorrow and his old friends had come to celebrate it with him). The cleaning up phase finally came; everybody stopped dead in their tracks so the food could all go down (yeh right!). Everybody didn’t move except Azahari that is. Yes believe it; he started cleaning by himself until finally others joined him. I really ‘tabik sping’ to him, a very responsible guy. The room was almost clean when an accident happened, Izhar accidentally dropped a polistrine of rice! (It’s really a waste!), and had to clean up of course!

'SWEEP 2...'

We then all went back to our hostels and slept…zzzzzzz..well not before taking pictures...so chesse

'SAY CHEESE'

-THE END-

Memories...

2007-09-25T09:16:00.000+08:00

Both arms of my clock are almost pointing to 12 midnight; it’s still early I know but I can’t help feeling a bit sleepy today. The problem is it happened again, it has happened so many times recently leaving me restless.

I miss them, the old days, my old past, those who had made an effect in my life no matter whether friends or fiends (well, do I have them??) and even teachers and other seniors and juniors. As I look through some pictures stored in my (really is it considered mine?) laptop’s RAM, I remember the times we went through together bitter, sweet and all. Wow! Time really does fly doesn't it?

My school mates, the cheerful ones, the hot tampered ones, the outspoken ones and etc. makes me smile, laugh and even drop a tear when I remember through all the things that had once happened. What I really miss is the environment around them or my dear old school which is so secure, or in easier words ‘terpelihara’ or whatsoever where…how am I supposed to put in words?!. Interactions between different ‘species’ of humans are more proper and moral (mentang2 belajar law..kuang3). Its so different here, and sometimes you just have to go with the flow, but don’t misunderstand me never go beyond and break your believes although some might say or think you are ‘sombong’, ‘tak ramah’ and so on cause that’s just life and you have to live it because sometimes some people just don’t understand or act as they don’t understand (you know what I mean, don’t you?). Well I think I leave you to ponder about it alone peacefully. Anyway here are a ‘few’ old photos which I truly cherish....anyway i just received an 'iftar' invitation for all ex-smih (in or near 2 uitm that is), it is scheduled to be on 27/9/07...i wonder who will be there, because i am really looking forward to it.

my dear old school...find my class...

2007-09-21T11:49:00.000+08:00

i was just browsing through the net yesterday when i came across this...
it looks kind of real doesn't it?..
cool huh??

the first day..

2007-09-13T22:27:00.000+08:00

the first day of Ramadan,
'exhausted' that's my first word to describe this unbelievable day.. after almost a day talking out loud in English,as my class had been scheduled to have a debate and a speaking assessment try out which caused me to have a sore throat afterward..
i had 'sahur' at 5am this morning which consist of a bowl of cereal, milk and peanut butter bread..(i am living a healthy lifestyle..yeh right)..

I'll skip the part where the debating and and speaking assessment took place..

i then had a little evening snooze..and then went out to for a food 'hunt' accompanied by my fellow roommates...we firstly went to the cafe were i bought some pourage(did i or did i not spell it correctly?),a kebab, and a cold iced drink(well i shouldn't have but...i couldn't resist!).
We then continued our adventure to the 'bazaar Ramadan' which was crowded with people..
we browsed about..but in the end we only bought some 'dadih' as the food didn't really seem interesting to us..
we waited...till the time came..and finally we braked our fast..
the food we picked wasn't that bad although i really do miss my umi's cooking (this is my first time fasting without my family :( )
and want to know something??the 'kebab' turned out to be a ....

BURGER..

yes a burger, although not as juicy and big as the one above that is...how disappointing..
but all well ends well as i was full so i say.. 'alhamdulillah' what a day.....

Parliament,parliament here we come..

2007-09-11T21:37:00.000+08:00

yes...the title has said it all,we the pre-laws went on a field trip today to the parliament...
some said it was 'cool' and some others said it was 'boring'...
we all had to gather at Mawar bus stop at 8.30am that morning (yeah right..)but unfortunately (as usual)the bus came and took off at a later hour.So some decided to take photos....

but don't ask which one i am...as i was the one who took the picture...so smile and say 'cheese'..
we arrived at the parliament shortly after boarding the bus which was 'equipped' with a tour guide,who you ask..our class representative that's who.when we arrived we had to wait for nearly another hour as we were supposed to be allowed in at 11.00 o'clock sharp!...
we waited and waited until the time came..to our disappointment we were also not allowed to bring in our hand phones, backpacks and also drinking water!!
and so we entered, bowed and seated comfortably on our seat..the hall was superb!quite small but nice...not to many decoration and etc.
we then also went on tour to the gallery and the souvenir shop..but alas i didn't buy anything as there wasn't anything that caught my interest..
we than went outside and started posing under the hot,hot sun!(I'm sure many of us have become blacker)...so here is the picture taken..and guess what I'm in both of them... :)..

at about 12.30pm we were safely back aboard our loved bus and were heading back to uitm shah alam..-the end-

IT'S COMING...IT'S COMING...
