~ di bumi ini ~

hari ni dlm minggu dpn dh bln Zulkaedah, dh habis raya. tp jika ada gk yg stil buat openhouse after rabu nextweek & dgn yakinnye g convince kwn2 yg "hey, it's still Shawal", hmmm... hrp maklum la ye, anda sbnrnye dtg openhouse bln Zulkaedah, hahaha. minggu ni dh 2 mlm ada indian visitors dtg beraya kt rumah i. 1 tu jiran dpn rumah and d other is my father's friend. on both nights the visitors dtg dgn souvenirs... jiran dpn rumah bg muruku, kwn ayh i bg small hamper. & dlm minggu ni gk i attended Hari Raya lunch organized by my vendor... & vendor i tu chinese.

sbnrnye nk citer apa ni? ok, jumaat lps adalah Hari Malaysia. jd, this entry is about me, reminiscing my childhood experiences as anak Malaysia. masa skolah rendah, i attended a primary school whereby malay, chinese, indian & punjabi mixed bersama2. sng ckp, kwn2 skolah i masa tu berbilang bangsa. cekgu klas i lk Chinese teacher, headmistress i is Indian. & disebabkn berada dlm keadaan berbilg bngsa since drjh 1 (bdk2 umur cmtu pd ketika tu x heran dgn dunia sekeliling & suka je nk explore mcm2), x pernah rs awkward pn nk speaking english dgn kwn2 berbilang bangsa ni. speaking english dgn kenkwn melayu pn bkn sesuatu yg pelik pd ketika tu. kalo dh drjh 1 speaking english, of course la sebutan pn byk yg salah, grammar apatah lg. most of d time pn ckp english versi rojak. tp, yg best coz xde sape pn gelakkan. in fact, my friends selalu jd cekgu x rasmi utk betulkn bila i sebut salah.

bila recess lk, sharing our food is not something yg pelik. masa rehat gk la nk main batu seremban (adakah layak dipggl BATU if dibuat dr kacang ijau or beras? masa tu cm x heran je baling2 beras, mmg sprti agak tidak bersyukur). sometimes main getah.... bkn baling2 getah masuk dlm tiang terpacak or amik getah & lastik org. tp main getah yg lompat2 tu... lompat paras buku lali, lutut, pinggang, bahu, kpale. sometimes main getah cina. hrp maaf, x tahu cmne nk explain cmne i main getah cina (& i wonder how we got the name getah cina). sape yg tahu how getah cina is played, bgs!!!

extra curricular activities kt skolah rendah cm menari/nyanyi/berlakon/main netball/galah pjg/etc2., semua melibatkn kwn2 bermcm2 kaum. masuk persembahan nyanyi, teacher yg ajr tu cikgu Cina, tp kna nyanyi lagu melayu. main netball, cikgu yg trained kitrg tu cikgu Melayu. apart from activities at school, my parents also sent me for other extra classes. i went for tuition classes on weekdays & drawing class on weekends. tusyen mlm dgn teacher india, tusyen ptg dgn teacher chinese, drawing class dgn cikgu melayu. mix habis dh tu.

so, i'm glad that bila dh bsr ni i can still experience kemeriahan rumah didatangi oleh family kaum india, or d warm welcome that i received by my chinese vendor when i attended the Hari Raya lunch organized by them. i will never get d same experience anywhere else on this earth. smoga i trus berbahagia mingle around people from various races di bumi Malaysia ni.

(dis?)advantages of....

being di jalan ini...

i always get this remark whenevr s'one i met (or even friends) know that i'm working at a building very near to Jln. TAR - "syok la kerja kt area Jln TAR tu kn. leh g shopping slalu". or sometimes i get to hear this - "selalu la g SOGO ni eh?". owwwhhh...come on!!! let me tell u d disadvantages of working at this area:-

BORRRRINGGGG...

bila dh slalu sgt ngadap places nearby my office, we feel kind of... errrmmm...BOSAN. ye, kami ada SOGO berhampiran. juga ada deretan kedai jual kain, tudung, baju, telekung, songket, etc2. juga ada kedai2 jual mcm2 perkakas/brg2/ materials utk persiapan para pengantin. juga ada port mkn yg sgt byk (gerai2, foodcourt, kedai jual nasik campur, kedai mamak, fast food, kedai jual burger utk pemakanan seimbang cm Bob Harper promo dlm biggest loser, kopitiam glamer, etc2.). juga ada gedung jual brg2 rumah yg leh borong&dpt murah. all in walking distance. d thing is that, ada masa rs cm bosannye time tghari, nk kuar tp xtau nk g mana. kdg2 nk pilih tmpt mkn pn dh xtau ktne lg nk mkn. when things around here dh sprti membosankn, harus la ini jd disadvantage pertama.

traffic... BAAAAADDD traffic...

dh xpelik if starting 15 Ramadhan onwards jln dpn office i ni jammed dr tghri smpi la nk blk kerja. or, masa 17 Ramadhan cz Selangor cuti & semua dtg KL nk shopping for Raya. bila hujan lebat melampau masa dkt2 timing nk blk kerja & hujan still x berenti by d time yg drive to work nk kuar dr parking lot, ini confirm traffic jammed tahap dewa.

perebutan tempat utk mkn...

bila tiba musim yg 3bln Mega sale tu, if kerja masa wiken sure susah nk cari port mkn wpun as mentioned earlier byk bebenor tmpt mkn dkt2 area office i. lunch break yg 1jam tu la nk kna berebut dgn org2 yg shopping kt Sogo/Arked/Mydin/etc2. jd, kdg2 kna cari apa yg cpt & take away je. kdg2 nk take away pn pyh gk cz queue yg nk beli food sikit py pnjg. tp, xkn la asal kerja wiken & org rmi dtg area Jln TAR i nk kna puasa kot, kn?

major event (1) Perarakan...

jln2 dkt area office i ni sll la ter"involve" if ada major events/celebrations. bila tiba je minggu yg nk event/celebration tu, sure la byk jln yg nk hala ke sini kna tutup. ats sbb tu la minggu ni setiap pagi my father & i kalut2 pg nk kuar umah on time cz disweek byk jln tutup utk rehearsal perarakan Hari Malaysia/Merdeka this friday. xleh la kuar umah lmbt sket, sure nt smpi ofis lmbt dr wktu biasa. cnth terbaik, smlm i smpi ofis lg 10minit nk kul8 (wpun ofis hour start kul8.30), jz bcz terkuar umh lmbt sket je. minggu ni kalo de ofismet masuk lmbt dh jd xheran cz leh agak tu sure sgkt dlm road closure.

major event (2) Perhimpunan...

bila ada group2 nk menegakkn pendirian masing2, sure nk buat group besar2 & jemput beramai2 memeriahkn perhimpunan sepjg major roads nearby. cni mmg jd port ke hape? yg being affected of course sesape yg kna bkerja during that specific wiken (perhimpunan cenggini normally buat on wiken). lpstu if masa hari perhimpunan tu la dh ter"schedule" kna kerja, nk cari food for lunch pn susah. takut2 time jln nk g cari food tu tetiba terperangkp dlm d group & org kata kita join skali. krg xpsl je muka glamer masuk paper. pdhl sbnrnye pnt bkerja mencari rezki halal utk wiken tu T__T 

major event (3) Perlumbaan...

ni pn slalu masa wiken gk. tp ni sll xde announcement apa2. tau2 je tiba2 de jln tutup, dh de kon polis yg kaler oren tu tegak kt tgh jln. ni la kes i pnah menapak dr traffic light dpn roundabout Bank Negara smpi ke office on one particular wiken cz polis xbg kereta lalu cz de Marathon. i trpksa la join, tp buat Walkathon sndiri.

Kain - limited selection...

dlm berlambak2 kain yg jual kt kedai2 sepjg area Jln TAR/Jln Msjd India/Jln Raja Laut, i tetap rs selection is limited. knp? kalo dh beli kain kt area2 cni, sure nt tiba2 di satu tghari masa nk kuar ofis g lunch, terjmpa org yg sama pattern baju kurung dgn i. lpstu jd malu. utk yg kerja kt area bangi/putrajaya/seremban/other places further from this area, leh la sng2 beli kain2 yg interesting pd ukuran mata anda. tp in my case, i dh ada several baju kurung yg i dh xleh pki g office just bcz dh terjmp org yg pki bj sama pattern dgn i. plg kronik, masa jamuan raya br ni, de ofismet pki bj yg sama dgn bj yg i ada. nsb baik i xpki bj tu msa jamuan raya cz bj tu dh x valid as baju raya i. lpsni, bj tu pn masuk list bj yg i dh xlh pki g ofis, huhuhu...

i bkn x bersykr with what i hv. mmg bersykr. kemudahan berlambak kt keliling ni. semua pn sng. nk mkn, pilihan byk. nk beli tudung, plh je nk masuk kedai mna kt arked tu. nk ubt gigi, sabun, bskt, etc2, masuk je Mydin tu borong la byk mna yg nk. utk org2 cm anda2 yg jarang2 dtg area cni, mmg la sprti teruja. tp utk org cm i yg dlm 1 bln tu atleast 20 hari dh mmg sah2 dok2 ngadap area Jln TAR, Jln Raja Laut, Jln Msjd India, arked, Sogo, etc2... hmmm... paham2 la kn. multiply that with 12 months, and multiply again with d number of years i have been working in this area. iye... i bersyukur cz byk kedai jual tudung bawal kt area sini, hehehe.... mmg sgt bersyukur =)

fun-filled Raya 2011 (Pt. 3)

last but not least, ucapan slmt hari raya dari...

yeahhhh... that was soooo much fun...

jejaka (idaman)

last Sunday's The Star newspaper was filled with articles that caught my interest. one of it is about....

~ this ~

i'm not talking about Zinedine Zidane, sila jgn slh sangka. i am talking about jejaka2 di luar sana yg ehem... ehem... tidak berambut or in one word - botak, mahupun jejaka2 yg masih lg berambut. i know the list of followers in this blog x penuh 1 tgn pn. but i know friends who read and probably tell their friends to read and they [might] inform others to read this blog too (sharing is caring, huh) but do not register as a follower. what i'm trying to say is this - i hope i don't hurt anyone's feeling with this entry.

suatu ketika dahulu, x berapa lama dahulu la, i bkn jns pompn yg kesah sgt style rambut jejaka2 yg i kenal, except style rambut ayah i, hehehe. of course la nk ayah i npk segak tampan kn. tp utk jejaka2 lain, sukati la cmne anda nk style/hias rambut anda.. nk bg style mohawk ke, ikat ke, tocang ke, pendek ke, ikut style pelakon korea ke, buat la apa style pn i xde my own preference style jns mna yg i suka tgk. xyah nk style pn xpe asalkn anda jejaka2 npk terurus cz knsp idup i (bg sape2 yg knl i mbe tau ini) adalah "pompn kalo cntk cmne pn tp perangai buruk, tetap x cntk gk". boleh gk apply kpd jejaka2 - "lelaki kalo hrp muka je hensem & rambut style giller tp perangai buruk, tetap buruk gk".

tp dulu ntah cmne la i lh tersuka tgk Jerry Yan dlm Meteor Garden. & let's not forget my all time fling - ARAGORN, hehehe. pernah la kwn i ckp dia konpius cmne i lh minat laki comot cm Aragorn tu. tp xpe, comot pn xpe, asalkan perangai semenggah. dgn comot + rambut pjg cenggitu, npk cool apaaaa =) kn td dh ckp "kalau muka hensem & rambut stylo tp perangai buruk, buruk gk". Aragorn mmg pujaan ati...hero pujaan. dpt poster LOTR msa bday adiah from frens, giller cm bunga2 tgk Aragorn. ok stop... jgn continue gilo, hahahah...

but now, i mean after i blk umrah, i rs jejaka botak is cool. lg2 bila jejaka botak jln dgn penuh konfiden, mmg super cooooool. i telah pn selamba ngaku kt opismet - "i rs laki botak is cool" & x sggp nk tgk how they reacted cz i think diorg pn xsggp nk dgr i ckp cmtu, ohohohoho. mungkin diorg rs ada fius kt kpale i ni yg dh terputus kot ;) tp, i rs ni influence lps i blk umrah aritu. bergunting rambut (or tahallul) is wajib utk completekn umrah. for guys, bercukur kpale adalah sunat. ada certain jejaka potong sket je rambut & xnk bercukur. tp mostly yg i tgk, they shaved their heads. since then, i think jejaka botak is cool. & i dont know since when i dh ter"develop" perangai asal i rs rambut opismet yg jejaka2 dh pjg je, sure kuar ayat "knp i rs rambut u dh pjg? tlg g potong, leh?" by that i mean sila potong rambut anda A.S.A.P. ntah, i yg tgk lk rs rimas. dgn cousin2 i yg jejaka2 pn sama. adeeeehhh...kalo korag de cousin study Medic lpstu rambut pjg x berpotong, x ke pening tgk? tu lah gaya cousin i, i rs cm Doktor x sehat je gayanye. if i dpt alat yg leh potong rambut cm kt kedai mamak gunting rambut tu, i bg gonjeng je trus kpale diorg yg rs cool sgt rambut dh pjg tp xnk potong. if susah2 sgt, serah je kpale kt i, nt i wt service potong rambut guna gunting potong cili kering my mom kt rumah. hambiiiikkkk!!!

skrg ni Jerry Yan is still in d list of jejaka yg leh buat hati i cair tp rambut dia, alahaaaaiii... leh x nk tgk dia botak? on d other hand, Aragorn harus trus dgn rambut sebegitu rupa (if there's gonna be any continuation of LOTR series la... mmg mustahil!!!). mmg hero sebenar, hahaha. so does Rain in Ninja Assasin, rambut pjg cenggitu perlu utk watak hero & he looks cool with that style. to all Jang Geun Suk fan, i love him as well tp i prefer a proper hairstyle, pleaaaase. BALD would be nice, hehehe. as of now, if i have to choose to date either David Beckham (instead of Carlos Tevez as the newspaper suggested) or Zinedine Zidane, my answer would be ZIDANE. *blush*. no doubt, hahaha... i hv 2agree with the author of the article ~ yeah, bald is the new sexy (*blush...blush...*)

if u r my fren/cousin yg masuk dlm kelompok JEJAKA, whethr anda adalah dlm kelompok jejaka botak or that anda de family members yg botak or that kwn anda bc blog ni (ats sggstn anda) & kwn anda tu botak, mahupun anda masih lg berambut, pleaaaaassseee i hope xde sesape yg kecik ati bila dh bc entry ni. if i happen to hurt your feelings gk, please accept my apology.

what_i_think: b grateful for what u have. (tp botak is still cool la, i can't get rid of this idea, hahahah...)

what_i_feel: kpd jejaka2 kt opis yg kdg2 ckp tudung i x match dgn baju or that baju i dh ok tp kasut i out, i'm grateful for your comments. kpd yg teringiiiiiiinnn sgt nk ckp kt i "knp tudung harini buruk?" or "knp kaler tudung harini out abis?", i'm willing to hear it. but u have to b willing 2hear it as well if my answer would be "SUKATI I LA", hahahaha...

fun-filled Raya 2011 (Pt. 2)

"I swear the world better prepare... for when i’m a billionaire"

mlm td dok dlm bilik smbl dgr lagu2 dlm playlist i & until pg ni asyik terngiang2 lyric nk jd billionaire as above. psiko kah? mungkin juga :0

i de addiction yg mmg xlh nk dibendundg. ahd lps menggagahkan diri beraya kt KLCC. bkn BERAYA as in g openhouse kt KLCC ke apa eh. i actually went to KLCC (convention centre ok) dgn lpg ati cz finally dpt gk g Bookfest this year. on it's final day!!! a.k.a 6 Syawal!!! hati bunga2 cz i got to buy 6 books with the total price of ONLY rm111.40 ye. *sila terbeliak tanda terkejut*. 

confession ~ ms bln puasa aritu i mc several days cz skt mata. de kwn ckp MAYBE cz i asyik bc buku keduniaan je instead of buku2 agama, that's y dpt mata skt... ok i ikut nsht & smpt la abiskn 1 buku ni - "tidurnya mereka 309 thn"... cerita psl surah al-Kahfi dlm Qur'an... tp lps dh abiskn buku tu, i beli buku lain lk... tlg jgn slhkn i if masa puasa2 tu la de jualan murah kt tepi kaunter jual tiket LRT ampg park & de 1 stall ni jual buku2 murah... & how can i resist "The time traveler's wife" and Haruki Murakami's "Norwegian wood" each at rm18? mna nk dpt 2 buku tu jual murah cmtu... yg i beli ni buku baru ok... still balut plstk lg... so, dh ter"spent" rm36 before hari raya beli 2 buku tu... *sigh*

 bhn bukti... 2 buku baru yg still balut plstk i beli murah kt LRT... npk sgt lom bc lg :)

ok, i dh terdivert jauh... nk citer fun-filled RAYA kn, bkn fun-filled PUASA. iklan Bookfest dlm paper The Star mmg wt hati cm xleh tahan & pkir knp la diorg wt bookfair ms ujung2 puasa & smbg ke raya? why?!!! why?!!! (eh, jgn emo). tp kn dh ckp td, i GAGAHkan diri g KLCC tu. hslnye ini dia 6 books for the total of RM111.40 ONLY. menarik ni!!!

 buku plg bwh tu plg menambat hati... hardcvr... original price rm74.90 tp i dpt rm16.90 je. suka la =)

knp de 5 je? ni lg 1 yg i tgh halfway bc... kesah benar... kesah sedih perang kt Iraq...

opismet yg suka Jodi Picoult, i lh bg pnjm buku "Harvesting the heart" tu... tp tgg i abis bc "The flying carpet to Baghdad" tu dulu eh, hehehe. apakah kaitan tajuk "fun-filled Raya 2011 (Pt.2)" dgn content entry ni? konpius. kesimpulannye, i dok kumpul2 buku pdhl yg dlm almari pn de lg yg i lom sempat bc, huhuhu...


what_i_think: cmne nk jd BILLIONAIRE kalo cenggini T__T

fun-filled Raya 2011 (Pt. 1)

okeh...i sudah pulg bekerja semula, after a week long holiday. sempat gk glabah jp mlm td ms prepare diri kms brg & apa segala, kpale i cuba nk recall passwords yg i gna for my accounts - email (personal&office), online banking, etc2. tiba2 short term memory lost jp... sume passwords pn i x igt, boleh?!! tu br 1 week cuti raya. mungkin terlbh mkn rendang, ketupat, nasik impir, kuih raya, etc2 mnjadi faktor menyumbang ke arah keadaan xdpt nk recall passwords mlm td. mungkin juga cz i memanfaatkn raya bersama family this year (*chewah*) & not connected to d cyberspace at all for d whole week. dan akibatnye, jantung berdegup kencang cz trlupa sgale password sndiri, huhuhu... password log in PC office pn terlupa okehhh. nsb baik bila try log in PC & email office pg ni, with just 1 try dh "sukses, sukses, sukses!!!"

Raya holiday i thn ni mmg superb (slps agk muram thn lps). thn ni blk kmpg, tgk ayam itik. hahaha... itu tipu. dh berzmn nenda i x bela ayam kt kmpg. reban pn dh roboh. zmn ada ayam msa kecik2 dulu, ayam2 menggelupur lari bertempiaran keliling rumah/masuk reban each time cousin i blk kmpg. sgt x ayam-friendly. tp bila family i blk kmpg, reti plak ayam2 nk behave, xde lari2 keliling rumah. terbukti la family i ayam-friendly, hahaha. itu dulu la. skrg, yg ada just bau harum udara kmpg bercampur dgn bau kambing fr kandang kambing jiran dpn rumah nenda i. denai nk menghala ke rumah jiran tu dh penuh dgn pokok sawit. so, kwsn rumah jiran tu dh x kelihatan lg, not like how it used to be. dulu leh npk rumah mkck tu, dgn kandang2 kambing dia skali la leh npk dr rumah nenda i. tp skrg dh tercover dek pokok2 sawit merimbun, so bau kambing pun kurg sket cz bau dh kna filter dek daun2 pokok sawit, not like how it used to be, muahahaha...

sepjg cuti raya ni, ada 2 je citer kt TV yg i tgk from start smpi abis. citer2 lain sume x sempat nk tgk btul2. plus, byk sgt citer hantu la heh, xkuasa nk tgk. aktiviti bila blk beraya kt kmpg thn ni pn adalah padat. sila lihat raya celebratn i thn ni:-
