* found in a fashion magazine

At times when I was feeling upset and had no where to run to, this spread definitely gave me a boost. xp

You just have to face what's coming, avoidance is not a solution.

am craving to shop

2010-11-20T12:41:00.002+08:00

Y.E.S is here but unfortunately am on a really tight budget. Bummer! So the best thing to do is lock myself in to avoid goin to any shopping hub..

I've been searching to several items in particular but have yet to find them.
1. leather women's shoes (lace)
when i was younger(primarysch) i had one in black n maroon and it was so comfy and i wore that pair until I outgrew em shoes.. went to the local clarks store and left that place feeling frustrated. please suggest places where i can buy this type of shoe.

2. single sling blue hangbag
i just want a cool blue handbag coz blue is cool.lol

3.a good sport shoe
the old one da jadi buaya..

That's all fornow. So please grant me my wish. I think I've been a good girl.

HAve a look at Oprah's Fav Things 2010 . Droolssssss...

Someone woke me up with a devastating news that were major highlights of several local newspapers..

Marion is officially getting married with the 2nd son of the SM tycoon.

Big dreams don't really come true... :(
Nevertheless, I love Marion. (kalau celebs lain mmg xsukala)
Even my dad is skeptical about the news n wants to know who Marion is. Oh well, i guess I've to wait for E Asia then.

If your husband looks at another girl, it doesn't mean that he's flirting with her.

Grrr...

Copycat

2010-06-30T21:47:00.003+08:00

Meee ooww...

I know that you’re obsessed with me. So FINE. I can deal with the fact that you bought the same shoes a couple of days after I wear a particular shoe. Then, you bought a similar bracelet to my bracelet (nasib baik not exactly the same when you look at it closely).. I think basically everything I have, you want one as well right. I don’t really mind you buying all these stuff and copying me.. I can accept that you love me and I’m truly smitten that I’ve a fan. :) But…but..but….when you checked whether my handbag is an original handbag or not behind my back is SOOOO inappropriate. This is clearly a sign of jealousy. Oh perempuan, go and get a life. What do you think you’re doing, inspecting other people’s handbag? and shame on you to admit that you’re a 27 year old girl

God, please make her go far far away from me

Get a life!(Roar like a lion)

eeee..

ethics

2010-06-11T16:05:00.002+08:00

It's a rainy Friday and I'm still stuck at the office.. Buhuu

Most of my collegues are on leave as it is the school holidays and they have to entertain their kids etc. Well me? I will be here as usual as always trying to keep myself busy. Hahaa.. There are also colleagues that I would consider as... "unethical" maybe?

On record they're supposed to be here but they aren't. There's been a debate regarding this issue as normally, these so called "invisible people" are the ones living near the workplace. They would come in the morning, head back home and drop by late in the evening to "checkout". At first I don't really mind of the fact that some people might have to do this once a while if they have something urgent to do outside(going to the bank/breastfeeding, etc). If you tend to do it more than 3days a week I consider it to be too much.

What irks me the most is that in meetings, they're the ones who hypocritically talks about honesty, emmmm well the fact is that they just aren't, they also claim that whoever leaves home on time are unproductive, unlike them....Hello!!! Although their working hours are long, it doesn't mean that they are productively at work. Doyou think we're stupid n we don't know what's going on?

Oh people, people.
Don't try to lie in front of adults, it really makes you look even more stupid.

I cried and cried..

Last night while I was trying to find potential subjects for my research I stumbled upon a blog which I felt contented to share. After reading an entry from the blog I knew that it had nothing to do with my initial objective, but I kept on reading and reading from one entry to another as her stories made me want to know more about what happened.

She wrote a series of 10 entries of her life which was overwhelming and heartening to read. The entries were about love, having faith and survival. I have indeed learnt a lot and I feel intrigued to share it with everyone that I love. So, take a look here with an end note of I love you. :)

[off to weddings around here, so sorry to ucu & haida for not being able to make it to your wedding. 6/06 every year seems to be a marathon of weddings for me.. ]

Our team played poorly indeed.

I wonder if they realize that they are not putting enough effort in their own game. Hish.. The game seems like they haven't been training at all. Hello, pleaselahh Malaysian badminton squad, Wake up from your dreams!!

I have no comments for LCW as LD was indeed superb and LD is perfect in terms of his placing as compared to LCW. LCW did play well but his opponent was better than him. There's no doubt about that.

For the 'so claimed no 1 doubles' sucked BIG time as they were overconfident. So padan dgn muka sendiri. Asyik tersengih2 je. Tahula handsome..

The second single ni was the worst. I think it is about time that he should be replaced with some other qualified player. I'm not really a BIG badminton fan but from what I can see is that his game was like he's playing with his son (trying his best give chances to opponents). Please try to realize that this a tournament!!! Put aside the lemah longai style and start smashing for God's sake!

I'm devastated!
Bye-bye Thomas

wow penat macam donut seyy.

I finally had the opportunity to unwind myself and tagged along for the family vacation in Redang. Here's some pictures for a start. Will post more about it soon.
xoxo

the journey. the flight to Redang was so frightening coz it was unstable and we felt like riding a roller coaster all the way..

The view of the sea is so breathtaking. Subhanallah..

Cliche pic. Heheee

Saya suka kerja saya

Sejak mula bertugas di sini

Tuhan yang telah memberikan banyak rezeki

Bersyukur ke Hadrat Ilahi

Anugerah demi anugerah diterima

Sejak berkhidmat disini

Saya rasa amat happy!

Sungguhpun demikian

Terdapat segelintir yang iri hati

Mungkinkah mereka iri hati

Kerana imbuhan yang diberi?

Itula lumrah manusia

Membenci tak tentu hala

Buat orang terluka

Ini semua rezeki

You all cubala lagi

Janganla cepat sangat membenci

Kalau I dapat anugerah lagi. hehee

Tahun ini

Penerima lebih dua kali

Tidak boleh terima lagi

Agak kecewa hati ni

Hati yang kecewa tidak lama

Kerana dilantik jadi panel jawatankuasa

Menanugerahkan mereka yang berpotensi

Untuk anugerah kali ini

Dahulu saya tidak peduli sangat

Pada mereka yang jahat

Saya mengambil dasar berkecuali

Agar hidupku harmoni

Sekarang ini

Sakit hati dan rasa menyampah kembali

Kerana mereka yang dulu iri hati

Sedang mencoba

Untuk membodek diriku yang comel ni

Tolong....

Saya mahu lari dari sini

2010-04-13T09:54:00.003+08:00

(Muka macam zombie sampai students pun tegur)

I wish I could escape to a serene place (refer to picture) to unwind myself.

I'm so fascinated by the crystal clear water.. wanna go, wanna go!!

2010-04-07T22:19:00.004+08:00

For the time being, you're my sunshine.

I get up because of you and I look forward to coming home early to see you.

But there are days when I don't like you. That is when you are moody or broknaa (Tganu dialect as told by Grandma). That's when you'll kick frantically and 'teriak Hindu' (tearless cry).

Its definitely a love-hate relationship between you and me. Please don't grow up too fast.

2010-03-31T23:05:00.005+08:00

On some days I offer private tuition for school children to earn extra pocket money. I guess money runs out extremely fast especially when residing in a city of temptations. Argghh..

"ice blended caramel-coffee kat kedai biasa pon rm8"

Anyway, something happened when I was teaching the students. There's a 13 year old boy in my class and he is very mischievous. An interesting fact about this particular boy is that he loves to attract my attention by asking me questions and he would sit besides me and tell stories about himself. I was shocked when he did that the first time as I have never experienced any students who would do so in the middle of the class. I find it bizarre and it's definitely not my nature..HAHAAa.. Then I said to myself he just wants attention. Fine. I'll listen, respond and ask him to sit back at his place. He just never stops talking, but I'm not annoyed by him as all the stories that he tells me has a point and he's a good storyteller. He knows how to structure his story with a beginning, climax and ending, just like how an adult would tell stories.

These couple of days, I didn't have time to entertain him and everytime he came to me, I told him to complete his work. I ignored him most of the time and also avoided eye contact so that he wont start asking this and that. At the end of the last session for this week he said he wanted to tell me a 'secret'. I pitied him as he still made an effort to woo me to listening to him. Okay... This was his secret..

Teacher, I have a friend and my friend who is old was fat before this. After a few months my friend suddenly became thin and very pretty.... You have to believe me teacher... very pretty..

Then he ran off as it was time to go home.
I was stunned. What did he want to say actually? I think he trying to advice me cynically. For it to come froma 13 year old I would say -Funny yes. Being direct, yes. Lesson learnt- A DEFINITE YES!

Oh,kids.

Responsibilities

2010-03-27T02:04:00.002+08:00

Well, tomorrow’s Saturday and I’ve three wedding invitations to attend but am only attending one which is my cousin’s wedding. Although if possible I would like to strike all three but I’ve some sorta agreed to help out at a cousin’s wedding since like a year ago.( which at that time I didn’t know these events will likely to clash) Oh bummer!

So, tomorrow as the cutest girl in the family [cewaah, takde org lain ke apart from me nak buat keje ni], indeed they need ma skill to usher vip’s to their table. Adoyaiii.. Do I have to do this till the rest of my life?.. Okay, so luckily, I’m not emceeing a wedding, which I think, is very strange when a girl conducts the wedding ceremony on her own. What u can do is either pair the emcees or let a guy conduct it individually.

Anyway, back to the ori story… When it comes to helping out for occasions, I normally find that amongst all people in the extended family I’m the only one who’ll be doing everything. I always find myself washing the dishes, cleaning up, doing this and that…ME!!. WHY ME? WHY?...... It was at that moment when I was in Form 3, I realized that no matter if I was with relatives from my mom’s side or my dad’s side, I’ll definitely be the victim of doing the chores during family gatherings. I just couldn’t escape… As I scrubbed n drubbed (don’t know if the word exists) the dishes I kept on asking myself that question until I had the AHA moment when I finally managed to find the answer. For both families–mom’s n dad’s, I am the second female grandchild. NO wonder that I will always be involved with all these cleaning up process; if not alone, I’ll be with my elder cousin (female). I AM definitely attached to this position which does not have any resignation for sure.

There was an incident which I was so upset about when I was in Form 2, it was during Aidilfitri when my cousin n I had to clean up and work in the kitchen while our parents entertained guests n other cousins were watching TV (damit). Since our job requires us to work in the kitchen preparing drinks and serving this and that, we were basically stuck in the kitchen, just the 2 of us. Suddenly, all the other cousins started flooding the kitchen one by one with the intention to show off the amount of ‘duit raya’ they received from the guest. We were like, where’s ours? We rushed to the living room only to find that the guest have left the house. YES, THEY DID FORGET ABOUT US WHO WERE IN THE KITCHEN!! I was devastated coz they gave out rm10 which was a lot at that time. I WAS SO PISSED OFF coz I didn’t get the rm10 which I deserve of..Oh, how could they forget about us… That was the only question lingering my mind at that time. : ( . I love helping out, but there would be moments where u would feel alone and left out from the family which is definitely not the objective of a family gathering.

So, tomorrow’s my co-washing n cleaning partner wedding day. I hope that eventhough she’s married, she’ll be able to attend family gatherings and help me out to do the cleaning, I don’t want to do it alone…….

Buhuhuuuuu

trust issues

2009-12-19T22:20:00.002+08:00

It's kind of irritating when a friend suddenly asks you whether her mother called me to interrogate about her whereabouts.
This means that she gave her mother my phone number. But, her mother didn't even call.(I bet it was just a threat by her mom). I'm sure there's something fishy about this as eventhough when I ask her why, she says that it's nothing.

My heart is cursing : damn you for using my name!!
Why don't you be sincere to your parents about who you're going out with. Don't cover up with lies. I guess lying is a disease that generates and multiplies every time you start one (a lie).

Memang nak kena!

Oh Natrah

2009-12-14T22:42:00.002+08:00

Natrah is a historical story about a Dutch girl raised in Malaysia which had definitely caused conflict in terms of religion, pride and a sense of justice as her biological parents fight for her custody from her guardian (in Malaysia) after 7 years growing up in Malaysia until she reaches puberty. The theme sounds dramatic and theatrical but the show seemed too overwhelmed with the popularity of the tragedy and I felt that the essence of a good theatre was missing.

Last night was the final night of the performance and I felt lucky to be part of the audience. I was eager to watch the show as I have received positive remarks from people who’ve seen it last week, but sadly it did not fulfill my expectations. As a historical movie, the synopsis of the movie and the praise that were in papers and advertisements were a little bit exaggerated as the performance was not as wit as it sounded at all. Personally, I think the feedback people mentioned about the movie was actually the history of Natrah which they may have read/watched elsewhere as it was not portrayed on stage. Audiences must have background schemata on the life of Natrah before watching it and it influenced one to get carried away with the performance through her biography.

I pitied mothers/aunts that went with the little ones (primary schl age) who were constantly asking what happened and why. This showed that it was choppy and the most parts of the storyline were missing thus it created a blurr story. Most of the major scenes weren’t acted but there were captions informing the audience about certain incidents. For me, theatre is not about reading captions on the screen, it is about feeling the emotions of the characters thru their acting and thru the dialogues. What is the use of going to watch a theatre if I have to read (I could just have read it at home and know the whole story). I also believe that a theatre should have a great script and storyline, Natrah was not able to give it a punch. There was a climax of the story but they were not able to prolong and engage with the emotions of the characters as the change was too abrupt. The transaction from a scene to another also didn’t quite leave the audience in awe.

In terms of direction, although they had to stick with the history, improvements could be made on strengthening the theme that they wanted to highlight whether it is in the eyes of Natrah, her mother, her husband and they should play along with the selected theme. They tried to embody everything but it just did not work out as they had too many things on their plate. If the director wanted to stress on the rights as a mother the bond between a mother n daughter scene should be added so that the separation scene would have a really heartening effect as both mothers can show their effort to winning the custody of their daughter.

Well, I don’t really regret going as I learnt a lot about unity and how things can simple things can be complicated. There are people out there who love to manipulate others and we need to be careful in the action that we take. We can hope for justice but at times we need to remember that it is not in our hands. So as Natrah is concerned, I congratulate the production on their effort. All I can say is that it was worth my RM30, I would not pay more or less for the performance.

I would give it 2.5 / 5

cuci

2009-10-25T12:06:00.002+08:00

I needed a break after finally finishing my proposal and needed to enjoy myself before facing another 3 weeks of dreaded exams, marking and submission of assignments. I just cannot cope with life these days.
So the girls suggested that we go to watch cuci the musical that night. Luckily there were available seats left for us and I was intrigued and excited since it has been a year since I last went to watch a theatre.
Our seat was right in front of the stage, the second row in fact; and the abang-abang cuci were standing right in front of us. Personally, I liked their backdrop and enjoyed their acting and jokes. We really had fun laughing our heads off from the beginning right until the end. I would recommend those who are trying to have a great day of fun n laughter with friends/ family to go and watch this musical. It will be least recommended for people who are expecting great choreography or great songs, it was just ordinary for me but Adibah Noor’s part was great, so I was so eager anticipating her next move and what she’ll sing. Overall, okla..
I think our Enchanted Forest lagi best! :p

I haven't been updating my blog for sometime, work has given its toll on me with day n night classes. I feel that I don’t have a life like I had before. I really2 need a break and can’t wait till the end of November. Yippie.

Not only that, over the past month, alll blog sites (referred to personal sites) have been blocked by the admin at work. So it is kind of a bummer to not be able to open blogs anymore. Before this they only blocked youtube, all video based webs, friendster and facebook. Now blogs…which is inappropriate since students learn a lot from reading/writing blogs.. So, I’ve written a complaint letter regarding the matter of them blocking blogs, and I also made other lecturers to do the same. Hopefully they will reconsider blocking blogs when they receive the complaint.

Last week my friend a colleague introdueced me to a software and I’ve been using it to enable me to access these sites, but it is a bit slow and I feel guilty most of the time I access these banned pages. Kekeee..
So freaking innocent~

2009-09-13T12:08:00.002+08:00

My grandma took so long to eat her rice during sahur this morning. In fact, she started eating first and finished last. It was in the middle of the meal we only understood why.

She had forgotten where she placed her teeth and she said she can’t remember the last time she had it on. Suddenly she started yelling..
It’s missing, missing!!.. Someone must have taken it... yadda.yadda.yadda (in my heart I cakap, macamla ada org nak curi gigi palsu dia)..
Pening i...

Then in the dark n still feeling sleepy my bro n I looked for her gigi palsu and we couldn’t find it anywhere. It was around subuh, my mom found her missing teeth. It was in the dustbin, she actually threw it in her dustbin!! Alahai nenekku...

Then Ayah said, we have to take her out to make a new one.
My bro added, “ada x gigi palsu glow in the dark?” senang sikit nak cari lain kali..

Fidelity

2009-08-10T10:15:00.004+08:00

I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music

And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart

And suppose I never ever met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never ever let you kiss me so sweet and so soft
Suppose I never ever saw you
Suppose we never ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall

Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Break my fall
Break my fall

All my friends say that of course its gonna get better
Gonna get better
Better better better better
Better better better

I never love nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting by heart truly
I got lostIn the soundsI hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind
All this music
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart

I hear in my mind all of these voices
I hear in my mind all of these words
I hear in my mind all of this music
Breaks myHeart
Breaks my heart

Last week was the saddest week in my life for certain reasons.

Had an argument with a colleague
Presented a paper and didn’t feel proud of it
Lost my bag at airport. Luckily they found it.. : )
The tenant of my lovely home (which I’m attached to so much) had moved in. Sob2.
Someone stole my favourite pen and a packet of sweets (FruityPlus apple) during break time at a seminar. Although it’s just sweets and a pen, I’m still pissed off.
A student loved me too much till his car kissed my car’s butt.
My friend fell down n chipped a small piece of her backbone because she was scrambling down the stairs. Thank god it’s not that serious.
Hearing break up news from 3 friends in a week. Where’s cupid???
Couldn’t meet up with Bib n Aifaa coz of the anti ISA demo.
Both grandmas at the same time suddenly wanted to stay at other relative’s houses for 2 weeks. The house is quiet.
Dad went to work outstation. Leaving me alone.
So I decided to depress myself some more
- By cutting my hair. :‘ ( Now I'm sad. What was I thinking?

I hope this week would be better.

Ayah selalu outstation seberang laut
Selalu tiada di rumah
Saya tak suka bila dia pergi jalan sorang2
Lebih baik dia bawa Mak atau saya.

Minggu lepas dia pergi lagi
Dia pergi Thailand
Sebagai anak perempuan,
saya harapkan ayah pulang dengan baju2 yg menarik,
perfume dan accessories dari sana.

Saya gembira bila ayah dah balik
Bersyukur dia selamat tiba
Tapi dia hanya bawa balik souvenir

Kes rompak. Continuation..

A fter the break in incident, 2 police officers came to check on the house and all the sergeant did was toured the house and commented on petty things which were not helping at all to solve the crime. at the same time, another sergeant was busy snapping pictures. I was so pissed off with them by not doing anything.. All they said was ‘ You bolehla kemas semua ni’ then they left. WTF!!

I don’t really mind about the things that were missing but at least do your job properly in order to solve a crime so that it wont occur again in the future to other houses. Eventhough nothing tragic happened on the scene, are the police going to wait until someone is raped or murdered and only then start investigating properly?

Where’s ur motto kononnya ‘berkhidmat untuk Negara’? hampeh btol. If you just came to snap pictures, I pun boleh ambil. Eee..they can even say that they’re here just to record the case. Blahla… i’m sure there are more people that face the same situation with the police like I did. I thought it only happened in Bangi but police in Nilai n KL pun 2 x 5 based on my friend's stories. So it’s fair to make a generalization that it’s a fact that police investigators are unproductive in a sense of trying to investigate things. Belum sampai standard csi lagi kot. Padahal the finger/thumbprint of the robbers tu sah2 nampak n boleh ambil kat luggage bag yang berdebu se-inci and even on the windows.

Hari tu satu pun tak ambil! How do you think you’re gonna solve the case if you don’t even collect the evidence? Stupidooo…

But what makes me pissed off 3x is that there’s one house on top of the hill near my house (a big fish in e neighbourhood) which was broken into a few days ago but the robbers attempt failed after the alarm went off. So pintu dia kopak sikit je, police officers came with their truck with more than 2 officers siap bawa briefcase mcm CSI tu nak cari fingerprint…. Weyy..kopak sket je pun nak cari fingerprints, bukan kena rompak lagi pun!. This biasness among police officers sekali lagi membuatkan saya bengang dengan motto mereka yang kononnya mesra, cepat dan betul.

Hakikatnya, police mmg mesra, hanya mesra dgn org2 besar jerr, lambat dtg utk investigate and cara perlaksanaan tidak dilakukan dengan terperinci-itulah polis malaysia.

Last week, I had the chance to go to the land of the Hornbills. The journey was tiring through villages which took approximately 2 hours from the nearest town. I visited schools which were made from wood planks ..okay..they were like wrenches with the smell n all..eww..the population of people there were the poorest among the poorest indeed. the students were so untidy with their torn socks (some holes were as small as a toe and there was one with a hole as big as his own foot). They don’t even iron their uniform. Before entering the class students have to take their shoes off. Some lied on the floor doing their work as there weren’t enough tables and chairs. The school rarely had visitors before, so our presence there made us feel like artists with them smiling and looking at us with awe. I admire the teachers that are so dedicated to teach the students in such situation and they really try to cherish the moment and try to enjoy their lives. Salute to the teachers there who are always happy and commit 100% to any work given. The visit to schools there was a learning experience for me and I do wish that our government can supply enough amenities to these schools in these small village areas for them to learn in a conducive environment.

I also hiked up and went in Niah cave which was an awesome but smelly experience with bat’s urine and shit everywhere. A friend of mine felt so gross to hold the rail as it was covered with bat’s poop so she was so confident that she’ll manage to walk without holding the rail. The stairs were slippery once we got in the caves and in just a few steps in the cave my friend fell sliding down the staircase since she couldn’t hold her balance. Pity her she was limping all the way back to the foot of the hill which took another 2 hours. Overall, the journey to hike up to reach the mouth of the mountain took an hour. To tour in the cave you’ll need an hour and a half. The journey back was so tiring we stopped and each R n R… hahaa… penat tau.. so the journey to n fro u’ll need +/- 5 hours of ‘physical endurance’… so sesape nak naik after this training dulu k.

Then, while I was at the pinnacle of the cave I received dozens of missed calls from my parents back at home. Naseb baik ada line kat atas gua tu. Bila bunyi Tut*tut* tu tandanya hp sy ada line..hehe.. I pun gembira.. Then , my parents informed me that my house was broken into while I was away. Luckily no one was at homeThey found out early morning on Sunday as it was the norm day that they’ll come to visit the house. The burglars got thru the back door umpil grill blakang and tendang pintu belakang with three locks you know..committed btol. they raided my room and my brother’s room and they took all my jewelries, cash money and 2 cameras. Isk, isk..sedihnya. They also left 2 condoms on my bed and left my room in a total mess as they searched each cupboard for any valuable items. Siot jerr.. I am so not in the mood to clean up the mess which I did not make.

Oh, panjang betul entry ni. So whatever it is when you’re having fun, things can happen which will make you sad. Learn to cherish the moment and always remember there’s a reason for everything that happens in life. Be grateful to God for everything. All the things we have, the life we live in and for the blessings in ways that sometimes we don’t realize, that is what we call *A blessing in disguise.*

Convocation

2008-12-20T19:17:00.000+08:00

Five hours of sitting down and waiting for all the students to receive their scroll is indeed tiring. It left me with back pain and a huge pain(numbness) in the ass. This is the third time I’ve tortured myself in such situation, every year I would vow not to attend to the next convocation and in the end I always end up being there. I’m pretty sure this is because attendance is compulsory.

I’m so jealous of her highness that can put a smile on her face for all events regardless how tiring it may be. Just imagine how her highness can endure sitting for hours handing out the scroll to all the students. Isn’t she tired? She’s in her 80-s. Last night the Santapan Diraja event also ended quite late and I was definitely torn out. It was so difficult for me to wake up this morning. I think I need more vitamins so that I can be as healthy as her.

Due to the recession of the global economic condition, sponsorship for SLAB /SLAI for postgraduate studies will be in local universities ONLY starting strictly in 2009, and for PhD, only critical courses will be offered abroad. It shattered most of my future plans..

I cannot bear to wait any longer and waste my time waiting. I’ll face the fact and continue to achieve what I’ve set for myself. Before this in 2001, all twinning programmes were stopped at that time, so I enrolled in a local uni. Surprisingly in 2002, they offered the programme back again… It was just not my luck.. this is the second turnover..
A poor start for 2009. There goes my beautiful dream. to continue being dreams...

I’m also jealous of the new Honda city 1.5E, it’s so luxurious and spacious..

if only I’d waited longer.. in both events… I would have got what I wanted. It is just not fated for me and no matter what, I learn to be grateful of what I have now.

east coast

2008-12-15T01:06:00.006+08:00

my family and I arrived safely from the long hours of driving from Terengganu last nite at 10 o’clock. The 7 hours journey was definitely tiring as we never travelled for such a long time frame driving on the road.. and I don’t think neither one of us will get used to it. I think that is the main reason why we have never been to Terengganu as a ‘family’. I would be in Terengganu for work similar like ayah and mak will only attend a few occasions with her best friends.

While growing up here and there, our family was really left apart from all my mother’s relatives back in Terengganu. I don’t know them at all, but their names were sometimes mentioned by my mother when she tells us about her childhood memories with her cousins. So, for the past 20 years they have never met my mother all that I can tell u is to just imagine how ecstatic they were when we arrived there. It was frantic with lots of faces in disbelief. As for me I was totally blur coz I don’t know who they were. I was like a lost puppy.. It’s not a matter of meeting 5 or 6 people. It’s like 30 plus that is actually less than the whole extended family. I was like asking each person who they were so that I can put the pieces together in understanding the whole family. Alas, now I’ve met and hopefully will remember their faces in the future. They all hope we’ll visit come again soon and not in the next 20 years time. I am happy that we managed to rekindle the relationship that we will always have. :)

Overall, Terengganu was fun. Lots of seafood (as expected) and they even threw a barbeque party during the malam berinai.. such a different chaotic celebration there I should say. So we travelled all the way to Terengganu just to attend a wedding ceremony. The bride is my mother’s cousin who is also actually the same age as mua. Therefore the relationship between me n the bride would be more of a mak saudara something like that but I don’t call her makcikla..

They were a list of things which surprised me in Terengganu:

1. Went to Mesra mall. Ada Bid Apple, (Not J.co) but still 2 thumbs up! Cayala.. the q wasn't long.. :)

2. The wedding ceremony was simple and it only had 2 canopies. We were like biar betul, cukup keR?.. if it was held here, there would be 7-10 canopies. 2 is for engagement ceremonies. Maybe that’s how it’s done there. It is for the separation between male n female seating. One canopy is for the male, the other for female.. we all slumber je sat together. Whose rule is it anyway?

3. The ‘Tuan rumah’ either the mother/any family member will sit in the house waiting for visitors to come while giving out door gifts. Relax jer tak payah amek flower girl..

4. Aturcara majlis 12 noon until 8 pm.. fuyoo lamanya…

5. Difference between majlis perkahwinan and majlis kesyukuran. Differing from perkahwinan, Majlis kesyukuran does not accept any form of money from guest. Presents are accepted :). I actually knew this before from a wedding in Kelantan (my friend’s brother wedding)

6. Lastly, the most upsetting thing of all, I met a nice lady who looks like Shalin zulkifli with her short hair in her mid 30-s. She introduced herself as one of my mom’s cousin, I shook hands with her and we chatted for a while.. On the journey back, I asked my mom about this particular cousin, I was numbed to find out that she is actually a he…

The supposed to be exciting journey ended miserably for me.

slamball

2008-12-04T22:15:00.002+08:00

I rarely get to watch tv lately but I was so amazed to watch Slamball on AXN. I was so dumbfound to not know the sport that is really cool. I can’t wait for Malaysia to build a court for Slamball.. it’s really fun just watching the game. It is kinda playing basketball but it is more fun as in the 2 pointer shooting area the floor is made from trampoline and the players can actually bounce. They will play basketball in the center court and when moving towards the area the players will jump on the trampoline and shoot in amazing ways. Just like the anime Slamdunk..

I don’t know how the scoring is like since I only got to watch a few minutes of the game but I think the time played are according to quarters like basketball. Maybe the points are the same as well. Am not quite sure.. well here’s a clip of the game. Enjoy.

innalillah

2008-11-22T23:25:00.004+08:00

innalillah wainnailaihirajiun
al-fatihah to ayah fied yg telah pulang ke rahmatullah.
semoga ditempatkan dikalangan org beriman..
amin..

kematian sebenarnya menyedarkan kita tentang amalan kita, kerana dgn amalanlah yang dapat mengiri kita ke kehidupan yg baik di akhirat kelak.

i found a text about kematian, it says that..
ianya hanya ketiadaan hidup di dunia.

"Janganlah kamu mengatakan terhadap orang-orang yang meninggal di jalan Allah bahwa 'mereka itu telah mati,' sebenarnya mereka hidup, tetapi kamu tidak menyedarinya" (Surah Al-Baqarah [2]: 154).

"Janganlah kamu menduga bahwa orang-orang yang gugur di jalan Allah itu mati, tetapi mereka itu hidup di sisi Tuhannya dengan mendapat rezeki" (Surah Ali-'Imran [3]: 169).

kerana itula tuhan mengambil mereka kerana tuhan lebih sayangkan mereka.
kita yang masih hidup perlu bykkan beramal dan berdoa supaya Allah luruskan hati kita dan ditunjukkan jalan yang benar untuk kehidupan yang baik di dunia dan akhirat.
amin ya rabbal alamin

missing the moment. . .

in the wee hours

2008-11-13T14:02:00.006+08:00

I’m back from the Terengganu trip. Last night I arrived at N9 around 3a.m in the morning. Since I parked my car at the office, I had to drive it all the way back to Bangi. No one was at home to pick me up so by hook or crook I had to drive back. I thought about other alternatives like checking in the nearest hotel, but the thought of going back home the next day and heading to the office again in the morning was tiring, so without hesitation I automatically cancelled the hotel option.

Before I started my journey I thought of many things such as who to call if my car breaks down since my family isn’t around, which radio station I should tune into, when to extremely accelerate (since there’s a Chinese cemetery along the way). I seemed to be relaxed at the beginning of the journey and I managed to occupy myself by singing to the songs on the radio. It was when I got to the nearest toll I felt a sudden rush and my heart started beating fast. Psychologically, maybe it was due to the fact that I didn’t see any cars around me.

Again, I composed myself. My deepest worry was at the cemetery.

So I drove alone in the middle lane and was extremely happy to see a few lorries around. but what disappointed me was that they were going too slow. therefore in the end I overtook them and was all alone by myself. There were a few cars that sped like lightening. hmm.. I would have done that as well but the condition of my car didn’t allow me to do so. So lalalaaa.. I was driving 110km/h and in the middle of the way there was a man standing on the highway signaling me to stop. I didn’t know why but the car kinda automatically slowed down although I was pressing the accelerator . Since my car was slowing down, I caught a glimpse of the man. What I felt at that time was indescribable and I myself couldn't figure out why I was looking at him.... Then thank god that the car was at its normal speed again and I dashed off having lots of questions in my mind which I didn’t have any answer to like did i really experience that? Was it real? Is he lost? Where’s his car/ bike? And a whole load of other questions. I drove off until I reached my destination without thinking about the cemetry which i was supposed to be scared of...

Until now I keep on asking myself those questions. It creeps me out. I will never know the truth. So much of me being curious.
.
.
.
If he was a real person, I hope he’s safe, if not, please go away and rest in peace.

Demam raya

2008-10-19T00:03:00.002+08:00

Selamat hari raya aidilfitri
Maaf zahir n batin =)

Raya was a short and simple celebration for me

At first we planned to ‘balik kampung’ to a place where my mum was raised but it was cancelled at the last minute since there was a slight problem with bringing along the two elderly people in our family in an eight hour journey. The fact of it sounds stressful as much as the journey would be. So cancel lah. In the end, Raya was conducted at the same usual spot which is my house. First day of raya would be our open house day from noon till night as we’ve been hosting it for the past years. Early in the morning we’ll save a slot for the sunat aidilfitri prayers and to visit one or two houses in the neighbourhood.

A few days after raya, I surrendered myself to the feeling of drowsiness and had an extremely sore throat. So the following week I had an extended raya break due to a week of MCs. So, I had a short celebration indeed with a long painful –trying to heal break. Although this is the third week, I’m not feeling as good as before since I’m still feeling the on and off cold + fever and my cough is getting worse.

Oh I’ve really been wanting to drink coke since the medicines are not working.

An inner sight

2008-09-28T17:12:00.003+08:00

Last night in conjunction with the small family celebration that we had, we contributed for the moreh for the local mosque nearby. Since it’s the weekend, there were many people and the food finished in a vast! Despite the shortage, Alhamdulillah my mission was accomplished.

Before the moreh, during the solat terawikh, a whisper from two girls beside me struck my mind. An act of what I normally do seemed so strange and clicked them from comparing me to a famous figure.

The situation: the carpet of the mosque in my area had been changed to a really thick, soft and comfortable carpet. It’s so comfortable that anyone would lie down and can even fall asleep soundly on it.

The behaviour: when we pray, we place a sejadah (mattress) on the carpet. Since the carpet is so soft, the sejadah would be in a total mess after a performance of 2rakaat terawikh. So after giving ‘salam’ for each solat I would readjust and ensure that the sejadah is in a neat and tidy situation again so that in the following rakaat, I would ‘sujud’ at a sejadah that is neat. Who wouldn’t want that anyway?

So well, surprisingly my actions were observed by the two particular girls

The comment: “Tengok akak tu, macam Bree dalam desperate housewives”

After overhearing them, I looked at them and smiled. It was a realization period for me. Is it true? Am I really like BREE VANDERCAMP? Oh no!! then the fact that I looked at them and smiled was also so bree-ish. I just couldn’t accept the fact. So during the next two terawikh I was not 100% khusyuk, I was thinking about the statement and it really disturbed me in my prayers and it made me evaluate more about myself.
It was such a reality check!

So what if I like neat things and classify items in order? I will be in a total chaos if I don’t. the situation of not doing things in order would make me feel even more uncomfortable. And yes finally I do admit that I am vandercamp-ish a bit.. it is me and I take it as a part of my life. I never thought of myself like the character in bree, but since I have a figure to compare to it does give me an advantage to learn more about myself. :)

Since I am so Bree-ish, I had some baking done today as a preparation for the eid Mubarak celebration. Pulling the cookies from the oven fascinates me. I am truly excited to bake another type tomorrow!

Dude, where’s my bumper?

2008-09-08T00:25:00.004+08:00

Don’t worry. It’s not my car.

This is the front rear of a car which unluckily has a driver with the inability to drive and doesn’t have manners. The person driving JFW doesn’t have manners at all.

His car accidently hit my sister’s car while she was at the roundabout. I was with my sister at the time and I was so shocked because of the incident. We did what we had to do, so we stopped at the roadside to see the damages. Then of course the car stopped behind us. We were hit from the back from the left hand side. Our car only suffered a slight dent and our scratch marks on the bumper. But unfortunately, for that JFW, the whole front bumper came off.

The driver of the car came out raging with anger and scolded at us blindly. I was calm throughout the whole process since why should you yell at people with vulgar words. It’s not going to rewind the time and repair all the damages. What's the point? Do you think that you’re so good coz you are able to use the F word and other ranges of it? It in fact reflects the other side of your personality which is having no EQ. not only EQ but IQ as well, okay…let’s say if my bumper came off, I would collect it. I told him to collect his but he didn’t want to. I didn’t know what he was thinking at that time and since I didn’t want to force him so I just let his stupidity be with him. It was getting late so we decided to meet up the next morning to further discuss about the incident.

The next morning, we were ready to lodge a police report, he came to meet us bringing along his sister and practically the entire family (in another car).. I was wondering where the girlfriend was..(he was driving with his girlfriend that night).when the sister came to me I was expecting someone wiser and able to handle the situation well unlike the brother but she was the same as him. Someone with low EQ as well. It must be in the breed. They demanded us to pay them, and I was like..hello, do u think I am stupid? I wanted to lodge a report. Unsatisfied about my decision, she consulted her husband and after 15 minutes of discussion, she made up her mind to follow us to the police station.

At the police station, we lodged our reports but we didn’t know what each other testified. My sister lodged the report since she was driving the car. As the investigation proceeded, both were found guilty since they both took the wrong lane at the roundabout. So the sergeant came out with a verdict and said, “dua-dua rosak, jadi claimla insurance masing2.”

We were frustrated since we could have won since he hit us from the back side but the law is still the law and we ought to respect it. This dude and family wasn’t, so they were fuming with rage and kept on saying that they want to claim it on our insurance. Why is that so? They said that WE crashed into them.they put the blame 100% on a small dent in front of our car that was caused 5 years ago. but realistically, the damage that was on the car due to that accident was on the left side!! How could it be infront?! where's your sense of logic?.! We finally managed to put the pieces together that he actually lodged a false report admitting that we hit them. Luckily the police did their own investigation of a liar’s claim. How could there possibly be 2 dents on different sides of a car in a single crash?. Come on-la idiot!

This low IQ and EQ man surely needs to practice driving and try to remember what happened during the accident. His low memory of the accident reflects why his IQ is low. If we really wanted to, we could have sued him for making a false report and not pasting ‘P’ sticker – we found out that he was a ‘P’ driver after making the report.

I guess in the end dumb people don’t get anything. Then I realized, no wonder he didn’t want to collect his bumper (which was still in good condition). He was so sure that he’ll claim it on our insurance/ we’ll pay him. I feel so sorry for him- in an evil kind of way. The most of all is I pity his girlfriend having to live her life with this man and the family which doesn’t have manners.

Of my own matters

2008-09-01T15:06:00.001+08:00

At times we forget to ask ourselves why we are here on earth. We tend to succumb to the materialistic world and become more in love with it thus forget why we chase for it in the first place. I hope I won’t forget my roots. Without realizing, sometimes we are so tempt in searching for all the necessity in life because it is a need. What we really have to do is ask ourselves why we need it in the first place and remind ourselves constantly of why we are here.

"Kejutkan aku seandainya aku tertidur, tegurla aku seandainya ada tersilap, bangunkan aku seandainya aku terjatuh dan kuburkan serta talkinkanlah aku seandainya aku mati.."

Have you wondered what will happen if you are not here anymore? We often experience the loss of a loved one but imagine that you’re the one. It scary to think about that and makes me hard to sleep at night. As human beings, it is a norm. Thus, to ensure we are safe and happy in this world and hereafter, we need to remember why we are here and perform good deeds and pray for the best. Even though when a person is not around us anymore, we have to pray for the best for him/her for the betterment of their life after death. It is the prayers of good friends and family that will ensure us to live happily ‘ever-after’.

I’m torn between two
1. Watching fireworks at PICC
2. Olympic closing ceremony

So much for being a Libra!

Lost parents

2008-08-12T00:05:00.001+08:00

Tonight I had to work and buy my own dinner. My dad had to attend a meeting at KLCC, my mom tagged along since she’s planning to go shopping.

At 8 o’clock I had the weirdest phone call from my mom,

-Kak Ngah, where’s the toilet here?..

I was like -Ha?.. where?

-KLCC.

-Mak…. (malu)..tengokla sign (dalam hati: mesti lupa bawa spek ni)

-Surau sekali…mak tak jumpa…

While I was verbally illustrating it to her through the phone, there was something else that lingered my mind. They are so the homey type of parents whom I love spending time at home with. But sometimes you’ve got to step out in your comfort zone once a while to explore new things.

Mom and dad never wanted to follow us (siblings) shopping; they would just drop us at the entrance. Next time, I have a solid reason to force them to come with us.

Pretzels

2008-07-24T23:56:00.002+08:00

A student stopped me at 2 o’clock when I was on my way to another class on one of the days where I had a packed schedule from 8am-4pm.

Student: Miss, what’s the meaning of pretzel?

Me: Pretzel. Something you can eat.mmm..like a snack. It’s between a biscuit – bread. Softer than biscuit harder than bread.

Student: confused face.

Me : it’s like this.. (tried drawing on my book with my imaginary pen-my finger)

Student still confused. Some of her friends nodded.

Me? tired of explaining.

Me: After this go to Alamanda, find Auntie Anne’s kiosk and buy a pretzel.

I left them clueless. Hopefully they did go and learn how a pretzel looks like and buy one to taste it. As for me, I know that I’m so cruel. Poor students. Wrong timing, it was lunch hour and i haven't eaten anything since the morning..You can put the blame on me, I was hungry…

Study.
Tomorrow I have to attend a course about Learning Management System. I don’t have a single idea of what it’s related to so I thought I would do a little bit of studying before the actual class starts.

The definition; taken from e-learning consulting is
The Learning Management System (LMS) manages the delivery of self-paced, e-learning courses. The LMS lets you publish courses and place them in an online catalog. Learners log into the LMS using a browser, select courses from the catalog and launch them. The LMS tracks the learners’ activities with the courses. The LMS provides online reports for each course and learner.

Okay. Enough studying. Ehee. Basically, it’s something related to e-learning.

Maybe tomorrow I’ll learn about the software used for this system and how to use it. Hands on learning is surely exciting..

Ok. Tired already.
Time to sleep.

Study + Tido(Tidur) = Studo

Not a handsome result

2008-06-24T21:43:00.001+08:00

I wanted to get something to soothe my throat so I went to the clinic. When it was time for the doctor to check me I became extremely nervous. It was like a sudden rush out of nowhere. he asked me numerous questions, checked my throat and took my BP, then… he immediately told me to lie down. I was like..”why do I have to lie down..i’m not pregnant… then negative thoughts clouded my mind. Am I sick? Do I have to take my appendix out and lots of other stuff which I really don’t know how the thought could cross my mind. The doc continued checking my stomach, which at that time produced various sounds which at the end made the doc to ask me” have you taken ur lunch?.. I smiled. Is that an indication of yes or no. errmm.no. why didn’t you eat yet? to be honest I forgot to eat and when i wanted to I was busy with other stuff.. But I drank Nescafe in the morning.. (it was just as a cover)

Me not taking anything yet until 4pm led him to more questions which I didn’t want to answer because I wasn’t in a pleasant mood of explaining. To make it short, coz I’m not in a mood explaining myself he told me that my BP was a little too high which was 130/90. (That was why he needed to check my BP and stomach etc..)

He told me:
Not to skip any meals even though you’re busy.
Not too pressure myself about work.
Get enough sleep.

How can I not worry about work. It’s the first and last thing I think about everyday. I have to plan a workshop for the new batch before the first week of july. I need to work on modules and evaluate and develop new materials. This is excluding the programme that is presently running and programmes that will commence during orientation week for students.

Now I really feel like I don’t have a life.
On top of that, I got something that I didn’t bargain for..

Oh, Kim Yeow

2008-06-19T23:20:00.001+08:00

I met Uncle Kim today. He was as cheerful as always but today he brought an umbrella since it was drizzling and surprisingly he wasn’t on his bike.
He smiled and waved his hand at me. I replied back.

I said, “Hi Uncle, jalan kaki pulak hari ini”
“Harga minyak sudah naik”, he said.
Then we both laughed and he continued his journey.

Uncle Kim owns a workshop nearby our house. A man rich as rich as uncle kim is also saving up on petrol by walking to work every day instead of riding his motorbike/driving his car. Only fuel can change a man.

i got it from my papa

2008-06-15T15:03:00.002+08:00

Advices from my father:

1. There's nothing easy in this world. If everything was meant to be easy there wouldn't be a purpose for us to live in this world.
this always comes out after any exams or anything difficult things that i had gone through when he asks me how the day was like.

2. Everything needs to be systematic
from organizing papers until arranging the clothes in your closet.
yup everything has its own routine of procedure of doing things. i was raised this way since i was small.

3. Do things the right way
everything that is executed must be correct.and make sure you do it correctly the first time. if you don't know how to it ask for help.but only ask for help, not for others to do it for you.

4. Finish up everything that u put on your plate.
finish your food. if you're the one who scooped it, you better finish it. i think this one is to avoid wasting any food since he's the breadwinner of the family. so take small portions and if it's not enough you can add some more. as for me i always took a lot and i ended up stuffing myself and now i'm a stuffed human being.

5. Have a back up plan
need a plan B if your original plan fails. he always tests me if it doesn't work out this way how would i overcome it etc. i always have a back up plan since i know he'll ask me. then he'll ask me another back-up plan for the back-up plan. i don't worry too much about this cause i know he's thinking of another plan as well.

i think that's all. the crucial ones that he is particular about.
oh one more, don't make simple things complicated.

i am what i am now because of my dad.
blame it on him.

happy father's day to all fathers out there

I don’t think paying civil servants twice a month is a brilliant move. Even when they are paying us once a month we are eagerly waiting for the money. When it becomes twice a month we’ll be waiting the first time and will eagerly wait again for the next payment. It doubles the grey hair production. It is certainly not good for the hair.

i just don’t like to fact that I’m going to receive the pay slip with only half the amount that I’m getting now-twice. It’s not good for the ego. It’s also hard to save up as well. I don’t know why the government needs to change this and that, that are making me feel uncomfortable. Majority knows that the government is in its phase of shortage of RMs. Why don’t they just admit it? Blame it on the ego.

I just got back from KL. Today’s the submission for all the scripts before being checked for the last time tomorrow. Hopefully there won’t be anything that needs amendment.

After that, I’ll be free! Free! Free! I’ve been burying my head in the ground lately and there were several things that I just had to pass such as going to Singapore (which were supposed to gotoday) and cancelling a few trips with my friends as part of cuti2 malaysia for the last 2 weeks: they always have fun when I’m stuck with work.

Last night, I had a terrible dream. I dreamt that on the morning that I had to hand in the scripts I still had a bundle of scripts which were left unmarked. I freaked out and started to imagine my group leader scolding me; then I suddenly woke up and my grandma was next to me trying to wake me up just to ask whether ‘dah azan subuh’ or not. Fuh, luckily it was just a dream.

I have to get myself straight now. Enough is enough.

bummer.

i miss my office.

what a strange statement but ireally do miss it. it has been a week since i haven't been to my office.it all started last week when i had to do some 'outstation' work, although the distance from the my office wasn't more than 10 km.heheee.

but still, it required me to be there for more than eight hours whereby i had to leave my house at 6:30 in the morning, arrive on location before 7:30am... never in my life i had to wake up extra early which was at 5:30am to bathe and get ready to work.. i did that for wvery single day for last week and 2 more days to go for this week.

so last week from monday till thursday i didn't go to campus, then i was called for a meeting on friday,i still didn't make it to my room as i went straight back home since it ended quite late in the evening. now, still i'm still in my'OS' mode but the work is nearly settled and everything is falling into place.

so can't wait to be in my office on thursday! i have never been so excited to go to office.seriously.

one more thing that i miss is..
eating j.co doughnuts which i think are the best doughnuts evar..kalah big apple n dunkin doughnuts..
i only ate it three times. it was introduced by my friend the first time where we had to queue up so long but wow! after eating it it was worth waiting for.

2nd time had it in indonesia(kak yanti said this is where it all started..am not sure about the fact but will try to dig about it later..),surpisingly line wasn't as long as the line in malaysia. there were only 3 people queuing up. yay! and the third time was thanks to kak.yanti for bringing some back home. but it's still not enuff, i want more, i want more!!
must eat doughnuts once a week, eventhough the que is long!

go all out for mouth watering, indulging unluckily fattening food

other tasty dishes that i lurrve

Beef rice @ Dakken Coffee and Steak

Waffles @ Alamanda foodcourt

What Your Taste in Chocolate Says About You

You are unique, creative, and fascinating.

You don't do what's expected of you.

You go for what's unknown and uncharted.

You are emotionally expressive and sensitive.

You're effected by everything around you.

Your friends appreciate your open heart, but they are afraid of hurting your feelings.

You love to be the center of attention. You enjoy entertaining your friends.

You feel lost when no one is interested in you... You're too interesting to be ignored.

being tagged feels like when u were back in kindergarten playing the chasing game with your friends. sep, u kena!. then suddenly it becomes your turn to chase around others. after running around and using all your strength to run, in the end, especially when you fail to 'sep' others you tend to give up and think, why am i chasing them for...

Normally I won’t be writing these things online. But just in case I have Alzheimer or become senile when I’m older at least I have it jotted online.

Last weekend (21st April- today ) was a hectic life for moi

Had tonnes of assignments to complete
Help prepare the list of part timers for next semester (anyone interested?)
Surprise Birthday celebration for my friend
Attended three ‘lectures’ which was beneficial for weight watchers like moi
KPM marking.
Went to Indonesia, needed a whole load of RM’s for shopping.
Had fun entertaining moi x-roommate at home and became roommates once again
Attended one important examination’s meeting. Not mentioning which one.
Invigilate. Invigilate. Invigilate. = marking. Marking means more scripts!!
My body wants more rest while my mind is thinking about work.
Tomorrow – rest. Labour Day
ROLD-rest on labour day
Hurray!

Weekend wrap-up

2008-04-21T00:06:00.003+08:00

I spent the weekend at Glory Beach Resort, PD. The resort was ok-lah ,there is not much to elaborate on..but the pool was fun-tastic especially the slide (it’s suitable for small kids and big kids like me. B-D )

I didn’t bring along my camera(the pic above is from a website). So, sorry mates. No pictures to serve you. I attended a seminar given by Prof Dr Mohamed Amin Embi about publishing and it was definitely fruitful for me as a novice2 researcher. At least now I get to know the do’s and don’ts in writing articles and how to expand my scope of studies. Right now, I’m so pumped up to write another article! I also managed to buy a book from Prof Amin. It’s about e-learning and it is actually a compilation of several researchers on e-learning conducted around Malaysia. Am too lazy to get the book right now, maybe next time I’ll tell you the title. It costs around RM36 outside, but through Prof, I managed to but it at a cheaper price. I am so happy! I love buying books and the smell of brand new books is definitely tempting.

Back to the course, I was there as a guest for a day only since while the rest had to revise the course modules and other training stuff which I was happy to observe and evaluate. Hehe.. I sound so cruel right now. That night while other people were busy revising and doing other academic stuff, I spent the night meeting one of my bestie (shima) with her husband.. We hung out like the old times, had dinner n talked a lot…and the next morning we took a stroll along the not so white sandy beach…and continued talking about anything that we could create a subject on. Mmmm…We really wished that all our friends can spend a weekend together to catch up on stuffs. Really miss ‘em much!

Altogether my weekend was a blast! I enjoyed all my activities and really balanced my life in terms of personal life and work. Hopefully in the future I’ll have more opportunities to hang out with my friends and family and work productively at the same time. I don’t want to work hard all the time while leaving all the fun activities aside. It is much better to kill two birds with one stone.

: -)

excuse me, i have a bloody nose

2008-04-15T16:08:00.002+08:00

i bumped to this sentence in one of my student's essay:

parent-children relationship is the most basic relationship in this world since they are bloody connected.

it's so not bloody right.

11th April

2008-04-11T20:09:00.002+08:00

11th April 2008 – sister’s birthday

Why I call her weird.

When invited to go out to celebrate she refuses. She doesn’t even want to get out of the house. She refuses any kind of cake, muffin or even brownies. She rejected everything handed or offered to her.

What do you want to do?
Nothing!
All she wants to do is stay indoors and lock herself in her room. Now, she is listening to a particular song for the hundredth time I think... It’s so irritating.

I hope someone won’t die on their birthday.

Maybe she’s just afraid of getting older or she’s in denial of what reality brings. Sometimes we do have that feeling of not wanting to grow up, but when reality snaps back in we realize that we cannot be childish forever.

topping resolved

2008-04-11T19:06:00.003+08:00

Last night I slept at 1 am in the morning baking muffins for my students. They invited me to the party at the last minute, that was why I didn’t have time to prepare before hand. Well I managed to gather all the ingredients needed and finally at 11 the baking process started. I also made the topping and I found a simple recipe for the topping which I will definitely use next time.

For the topping, you’ll need
½ a cup of cocoa
½ a cup of condensed muilk
1 tbs oil

as easy as that.
it's so simple.

it's true when people say that
"it is the easiest things that are so challenging to do".

in pain

2008-03-13T23:25:00.002+08:00

It hurts so bad!

I knocked my head onto something square and hard. My head hit exactly at the corner of that stupid metal thingy. It was really painful and it still is. At the time of incident, I wished I could swear out loud. But then I didn’t since the students were lingering to and fro. I think that there’s a dent in my brain. My head is swollen. Am so damn scared to see the doctor, what is even more humiliating is to tell him what happened. Wanna put some ointment on the area affected but it’s a bit weird putting some on your head or to be precise hair. Well if it doesn’t heal until next week, I’ll see the doctor.

Since last Monday, my left eye selalu berdenyut. It hasn’t stopped and is still beating fast till today.. Confusela. Penyakit ke, petanda buruk ni..

Hair tips

2007-12-15T17:06:00.000+08:00

Friends and relatives always ask me about the secret to maintaining healthy hair. Once I even went to a hair salon to trim my hair and the hairdresser asked me for hair tips. ???what??? I should ask her that q. Well, I was a little bit blur whether to answer her q. In the end I just smiled and continued flipping through the magazine. Actually there’s no secret. Here are some tips or should I say my routine when dealing with my hair.

I wash my hair everyday
Washing doesn’t mean shampoo-ing okay
I shampoo/clean my hair once in two days.
I use a regular shampoo. Not so strong one..
I don’t use conditioner because if I do my hair will start falling…this one I don’t know why. So I opt not to use any. Aside from that I can save up a bit..hee
Comb my hair with a small comb (men’s comb) more than 2 times a day. A must in the morning and before going to sleep. Other times include every time going out and every time tying my hair.
Make sure hair is dry/not too wet before going out. Don’t tie hair when it's wet.
I have never dyed my hair in any form of colour.
Trim hair once a month/two months so that it’ll grow faster
I don’t like sharing combs with other people including my family members. Sorry :( . But if like it’s an emergency.. like if we went somewhere and no one brought a comb except me, I’ll lend it then I’ll wash it.hahaaa.. You can ask my sister how I freak out when someone uses my comb.

I think that’s all actually. Nothing much.
I’ll update if there are things I forgot to include.
Now I need to go and comb my hair.

what's your excuse?

2007-12-09T21:27:00.000+08:00

Why sometimes people don’t go to work? i don't know the answer and i don't even have the answer but the most honest answer would be just because you feel like going or in other words you're lazy. when it clicks in your head on the particular morning, all you can think of is getting an mc. sometimes we even create excuses.

Taking leave for no apparent reason means creating logical reasons so that your boss lets you off. Some common reasons made by my colleagues are

any type of illness
fever, cough - any type of illness
sakit kaki/bengkak
toothache

things that disturbed your sleep
kene gigit nyamuk (mosquito bites)
atap bocor (leaking)
newborn crying

broken spectacles
shoes missing
alarm clock didn't go off

so, do you have your own excuse?
be honest..

muffins no more

2007-12-09T21:13:00.000+08:00

Remember the muffin recipe that my friend gave me. it is supposed to be a cinnamon roll that should look a lot more like this as made by Dr Ezura. Not like my previous post! Maluuu...

sometimes...

2007-11-19T23:50:00.000+08:00

sometimes it is not about looking for THE ONE,
it is about making HIM the one.
or is it vice-versa?

so much for studying language.
i'm getting myself confused.

i asked my friend (a chef) to give me the simplest muffin recipe.
he did and it kinda started to look like this at first

i know it doesn't look like a muffin and i had a feeling that it wasn't gonna turn out to be one. But i still had a little bit of patience hoping that once i've put it in the oven it will bake, enlarge and fully fill the cup. After all, I do trust my friend and his recipe. So much for believing in him after 15 minutes of baking my feeling was shattered looking at the end result. It was still the same and the only difference was that it was slightly hard.

I was so disappointed and due to frustration I made a mass production of chocolate chip cookies. Here’s the cookies to replace the muffins that didn’t turn out as expected.

*I texted my friend informing that ‘the muffins’ didn’t turn out well. Then he confessed that he had mistakenly given the wrong recipe. Well, so much for the recipe and trusting the chef!

Thank you is the hardest word

It is not sorry anymore. While growing up I believe that parents taught their children to say thank you if anyone gave you a favour or even if someone did something to make your work easier. Practically thank you can be uttered in so many ways to show appreciation.

A simple thank you makes a person satisfied for doing something to you. It also delivers some kind of feeling how their help meant to that particular person. Once in a while thank you will brighten ones life since it is a sign of sincereness. It’s not how often you say it, but more to whether saying it or not.

We even send thank you cards or personal notes to friends or family members for being there or for even helping us out. I noticed that thank you can also be spread to someone for no particular reason for example by saying that it was nice to meet you or I really had fun going out with you guys. These are all examples of thank you in different words. Words that are meaningful. Sincere. These kind words can make a difference...

Today, I think people just don’t know how to say thank you. Or maybe they have forgotten the word. When helping a colleague for her exam paper, no thank you. When opening the door, I didn’t get any thank you. When giving someone something, still not a word of thanks. When providing an idea, yes, still nothing… WHY?

Am I so fragile and sensitive actually? Or is the world getting mean?

So much for teaching my students to write thank you notes to those who gave you something or those who are special to you. No matter how hard we teach, whether we know how to or not, I believe there are still some that are some people who are ignorant and maybe slightly selfish. Maybe? Only god knows.

Writing this makes me recall on the number of time I have actually said thank you to my parents. I think it is not enough, eventhough by saying thank you as often as I can I will not cover everything that they’ve done for me.

Thank you for reading. That’s from the heart.
