~ d-U-k-a-L-a-R-a ~

this song by Bruno Mars lifts up my mood... aftr feeling a lil' bit down yesterday. mood-swing kot. ntah hape ke hal nye mood-swing, xtau. some kind words, errrrmmm sms actually, stil didn't manage utk memujuk hati yg dikacau mood-swing. but, Mr. Bruno Mars here succeeded to make me feel better. at least tmporarily. mungkin kna dgr lagu ni everyday, permanent jd positive thinking kot. mungkin juga kalau lagu En. Mars ni dinyanyikan oleh Adam Levine, lbh terasa berbunga hati trus ilang duka lara.

anyways, enjoy this video by Bruno Mars... some creative production here. hati duka lara, tlg gembira again (guidelines: delete all viruses, tekan re-format, right click & select refresh, then click ENTER + bc bismillahirrahmanirrahim to feel better. good luck.)

utk yg cuba memujuk semlm (u know who u r), thanks for trying. mungkin hasutan syaitonnirrajim di hari khamis wt i jd tidak gembira ptg smlm. hari ni hari jumaat. semoga dpt rhmt, hati lapang, hilang duka lara & kesedihan.

~ after a year ~

a year ago, on this very same date, i smpi kt bumi madinah for my 1st time. subhanallah. alhamdulillah. allahuakbar. perasaan? hmmm... byk sgt syahdu. xsgka dpt jd tetamu utk solat kt Msjd Nabawi & ziarah makam rasulullah dlm umur muda. we reached Madinah after our journey from Jordan (and Syria) around pukul10lbh pg. lps dh check in hotel, pegi cari food utk isi perut. d 1st food i mkn kt Madinah was Kudu, fast food yg lbh kurg cm McD (ada burger, french fries, drinks, etc2). lps dh mkn, blk hotel & siap2 utk solat Zohor kt Msjd Nabawi, solat 1st utk i kt bumi Madinah. alhamdulillah. rs sgt, sgt bersyukur... words really can't describe d feeling.

mcm2 pengalaman spnjg kt Madinah. ada kekurgan, perkara yg xsmpurna, ujian yg kita terima... take those things as it is. utk perigtn diri i sndiri & juga utk yg lain2, xyah la trlalu pertikaikan kekurgn/ketidaksempurnaan yg kita jmp. tiap yg jd tu sure ada hikmah. kalo lps smyg, nk blk hotel tgk2 selipar dh xde dlm pigeon hole yg kita smpn kasut tu, jln je smpi luar kwsn msjd & beli je selipar br. xyh la nk marah2 cz selipar kesygn/baru/yg cntk/pujaan ati dh kna amik (dlm bahasa kurg sopan, kna songlap). kalo kita kna sakit perut ms wktu solat & smpi termuntah kt telekung ms kt Msjd, blk & cari ubat & rehatkn diri & doa supaya allah pulihkn keadaan kita supaya kita lh cntinue wt ibadat. kalo ada hjt nk smyg kt Raudhah tp tgg py tgg turn lps smyg isya' xsmpi2 gk turn & wktu pn dh tgh mlm, blk & rehat & doa la mntk allah mudahkn jln & bg kita peluang solat kt Raudhah b4 kita tgglkn Madinah.  utk org laki, ada kemudahan. nk smyg kt Raudhah anytime pn boleh. utk yg pompuan, kna ikut timing & sllnye kna berebut dgn para tetamu yg lain. kalo ada beg2 groupmate kita yg tertukar & dh tersilap dihantar masuk dlm bus yg dh on d way nk g airport utk balik Msia (pdhl kita br nk masuk Mekah), kna bersimpati & jgn saja2 posing2 amik gmbr kegembiraan dkt2 dgn diorg (mentang2 beg kita slmt). oh ye, itu kesah bnr =)

i g dgn package umrah Andalusia (boleh check sini). selain ibadat kt Msjd Nabawi, we went to Msjd Quba', Jabal Uhud, ladang kurma and lapangan magnet. asal stop kt msjd (cnthnye kt Msjd Quba'), buat la solat2 sunat & doa la byk2 dlm msjd. personally, i feel that solat kt Madinah (and Mekah) x sama mcm pengalaman solat kt tmpt lain. so bila dpt peluang, make d best of it. bila stop kt Jabal Uhud, mutawif cerita la sejarah perang Uhud & para sahabat Rasulullah yg sma2 berjuang. dgr cerita2 sejarah cmtu, buat ati insaf. bila g ladang kurma, boleh la nk pilih & beli kurma. mcm2 jns kurma & chocolate & kcg2 ada. salesman dlm kedai pn dh leh ckp bahasa Msia, so xde masalah nk ty hrga, etc2 :) kt lapangan magnet lh tgk kekuasaan allah cipta cas magnet. boleh rs bus bergerak sndiri, xyh driver bus tekan pedal minyak pn, cz cas magnet kuat within the boundary.

dlm tiap perjlnn kita kt dunia ni sure ada ujian dr Allah. sma gk kt Madinah. allah xkn uji kita dgn ujian yg kita xmmpu. so, i doakn utk yg dh de plan nk g umrah, semoga perjlnn wt umrah akn jd perjlnan yg dpt bg ketenangan & keinsafan utk korg. alhamdulillah cz niat dlm hati dh ada. i strongly believe that bila kita berniat baik & ikhlas utk wt umrah (lbh2 lg wt haji), allah akn tlg kita. for those yg dh cnfirm date nk g umrah & tggl tgg hari nk terbang je, may Allah makes it easy for u (and your family/friends) throughout d whole journey. alhamdulillah, Allah mudahkn perjlnan i a year ago. & i rindu, sob sob sob... (haishh, byk sgt tersyahdu)... T__T

~ nak rasa? ~

when it comes to food, i categorized myself as d not-so-adventurous type... and also d pick-d-normal-stuff-u-eat type :) cnthnye, kalo i dh tau kedai mamak tu py megi gorg sedap, i will only order megi gorg during each visit... tidak akn order menda len. eh, tp air kna order la kn. minuman pilihan sure asyik2 teh tarik or teh o pns or milo pns je (tetap akn wt pilihan yg sma antara yg 3 ni). kalo i tau aym gorg berempah kt 1 particular kedai nasik lemak tu sedap, i order nasik lemak+aym gorg berempah je every time i go there. lauk2 lain (paru gorg berlada, kerang, aym gorg berlada, ikn sardin, etc2) sume i xkn amik. kalo g Nando's, pick-d-normal-stuff-u-eat akn menyebbkn i pilih quarter chicken (hot) with two side lines (rice & peri chips) and hot chocolate. kalo g Kenny Rogers, akn buat pilihan quarter chickn (original) with fresh fruit salad, mashed potato & baked beans, plus muffin chocolate and minuman pilihan Spring or Winter.

kelebihannye, tempoh diambil utk decide nk order pe nk mkn xkn mengambil masa yg lma cz i mmg akn mkn d same thing... smpi la i rs dh bosan giller mkn mnda yg sma. bila dh rs cm uiihh bosan asik amik d same aym gorg berempah je, i akn switch to other SAFE combination. safe in d sense that i ASSUME d combination adalah sedap so that during next visits i'll just stick 2 d same menu. bila nsk lemak + aym gorg berempah dh masuk list combination boring, i'll get lontong & sambal tumis sotong plak. akn pilih lontong, dan lontong, dan lontong, dan lontong lg... saaaaaaaaaammmmpai la bosan dh dgn lontong. then leh switch blk kpd nsk lemak + aym gorg berempah. seeee???!!! betapa tidak adventurousnye, hmmmm... dlm erti kata lain, bosan, hahaha... dan juga u-r-soooo-d-pick-d-normal-stuff-u-eat type.

recently, went to McD's drive thru and i ordered d same thing that i usually eat - McChicken + air Milo xnak ais. sll i order set regular je tp that day my sis ordered d large set so that both of us can share d fries and Milo. and then, there it was, d promotion for McDonald's Horlicks Crunch McFlurry terpampang kt dpn mata.

my sis asked d wrong person, ME, whether d McFlurry tastes nice ;) i ni dh le jarang2 giller mkn McFlurry (whatever flavour pn la). rsnye term ygg sesuai bkn "jarang2", tp "baru sekali dua", hahaha... memandangkn ada sedikit perasaan adventurous, we added d McFlurry and both of us shared d same cup. rasa dia... fuuuuuuhhhh!!!! giller sedap wehh!!! 

d next day, g McD drive thru lg, semata2 nk beli McFlurry ni, boleh??? hahaha. malangnye, yg jg kaunter ckp mesin aiskrim rosak, so McFlurry xde. haishhh... ada2 jelah. d next day lg satu, lalu kt McD drive thru gk & nk beli McFlurry tu je. luckily d ice cream machine at this branch x rosak. dpt la enjoy McDonald's Horlicks Crunch McFlurry dlm keta. bahagia =)

i promo ni, sila try test cuba rs McFlurry ni. sedaaaaaaaaaapppp sgt2 (gnda 100). tp perigtn awl, bila dh nk abis, akn rs lbh manis compared to rs ice cream yg bhgn ats. d way i put it to describe kesedapn ice cream (d top part yg xmanis tu) - "sedap cz rs dia rilek2 je. xde la strong sgt". kalo nk tau cmne "rs rilek2" tu, go get d McDonald's Horlicks Crunch McFlurry. cepaaaat!!! limited time only.

(** tlg jgn stereotypekn i sbgi bdk yg sll mkn fastfood. trima kasih.)

~ with hard work, comes success ~

"ko ni mmg sng nk absorb bljr language kot, kn?"

a friend said that to me once not too long ago. i nvr think of it as d special skill/ability that i hv. to me, anything that involves LEARNING new things/skills msti kna kerja keras, hatta nk bljr language sekalipun. then, lps dh brjaya bljr that new thing/skill, kna dipraktikkan.

i'm glad that i went to skolah kbgsn (SRK Convent actually) for 6 years. i started learning d basics to read, write, listen and speak in English during those years. i'm not saying that bdk2 skolah Convent je pandai guna English. tp, there's a slight advantage actually. d school didn't enforce us to speak in english. and i don't think we have English-speaking day, etc. spelling bee? hmmm... i can't recall whether we have that as well. tp cz kenkwn skolah ms tu gna english, it felt natural to just follow and speak using d same language. it wasn't perfect english. grammar tunggang terbalik (smpi skrg pn mmg tunggang terbalik), english rojak2 (English + B. Malaysia). tp xde org gelakkan. in fact, bila ada terslh sebut, ada yg akn betulkn. and that's hw i learn english... selain dr bc buku citer english (beli buku citer B. Malaysia adalah dilarang kat rumah), dgr lagu & bc newspaper cm newscaster/deejay (dibuat bila sorg2).

then came secondary school. d school i went to requires students utk pilih 1 foreign language & u'll learn that language for 4 years. Arabic, French and Japanese... and i chose Japanese. d same basics of reading, writing, listening and speaking, this time in Japanese, smpi Form 4. org Jepun ada mcm2 jns tulisan (Hiragana, Katakana & Kanji). each year kitrg bljr 1 jns tulisan. plg sng Hiragana, dats y bljr ms Form 1 =) ms Form 2 tmbh lk Katakana (tp Hiragana still kna igt). naik Form 3, bljr tulisan yg cm simbol, Kanji. plg susah la ni. yg Hiragana & Katakana tu still kna igt gk. bljr vocab & grammar. every yr ada Japanese Profeciency Test. sume bdk2 dr boarding school len yg amik Bahasa Jepun will sit for d same exam... reading, writing & listening skills were tested. result kuar, tnjk ko dpt nmbr brp among sume bdk2 yg amik exam tu, okeh. bknnye tnjk result ko among kwn2 sma skolah. sll nma i dlm list ntah yg ke brp ratus ntah, huhuhu... sian cekgu pnt mengajar dgn pnh bersemangat. cekgu lk mmg pure org Jepun yg sll tnjk emosi excited tnpa kwln :) paling best bljr Japanese ms skolah bila sensei bg tgk video (zmn dulu video la) kumpulan SMAP. asal tgk video, sume kusyu', hahaha... 

then masuk matric centre. 1st semester masuk uni (for 3 months), dpt 1bilik dgn bdk Sarawak. kitrg berborak gna bahasa Melayu biasa. tp this roommate ada kwn, bdk Sarawak gk. her room wasn't far from ours. so, bila kwn dia ni dtg bilik i, diorg brckp gna bahasa melayu Sarawak. bila diorg brckp dgn i (& sebaliknye), diorg kna tune jd bahasa Melayu biasa. kesian. just imagine bila d 3 of us were sitting together... asal i menyampuk/tanya je (suprisingly, i leh phm pe diorg 2 ckp), diorg reply gna bahasa Melayu biasa. so, utk memudahkn diorg xyh nk wt fine tuning bahasa, i told them that i'm going 2speak gna bahasa melayu swak gk when i'm with them. & diorg ok je. i learn d vocab&sentence construction. xde la susah mana pn. abis je 3bln, dh x dpt sama bilik, tp i still gna bahasa melayu swak bila i dgn diorg.

bahasa Sarawak i bljr informally. yg formal kna bljr, yg akn tntukn whether i lh masuk main campus/x is bahasa Arab. memndgkn xde basic bahasa arab, kna bljr dr basic & i kna lulus smpi level 3. bljr lg skali reading, writing, listening, speaking skills in Arabic lk. nsb baik tau huruf jawi. msa exam speaking level 3, cuak thp maksima. kna speaking dpn ustaz. xlh nk ckp xtau/xphm, krg xlulus, nt xlh g main campus. nk pulak that was my final semester for matriculation. xnk la xlulus then 1 semester kna bljr arabic je. i leh phm org ckp pe (during that time) tp i xtau nk reply/berckp sndiri. nsb baik bila exam speaking tu phm la soalan ustaz... being translated here as "tlg ceritakn psl keluarga kamu". ok, i pungpangpungpang jwb yg i tau. bila tiba kna ty "mak kamu kerja apa?". cmne nk jwb cz i xbljr "operator mesin pemprosesan data" in arabic tu amenda. so, amik jln senang, ckp je "cekgu", hahaha... tiada niat nk menipu ok.

dlm semua languages yg i dh bljr tu, i can say that i still know a lil' bit of those languages. i read, write, listen, and speak in English everyday. i can still read Japanese Hiragana, still know how to write my name in Katakana, still remember that "tegami" is letter, "jitensya" is bicycle, "byoo-in" is hospital, "kabang" is bag in Japanese (among d words that i can still remember). i can sing "Head and shoulders, knees and toes, eyes ears mouth and nose" in Japanese =) i speak bahasa melayu sarawak with my sarawakian officemate. and i can read arabic to do transliteration of books as well as understand simple conversation among our foreign student (it also helped me, a lil' bit, when i performed umrah last yr). so, when my father asked me recently whether i'm interested to learn new language, i said yes. & what language u may ask... it's mandarin. read, write, listen and speak in mandarin, i hope to start anytime this year. insyaallah.

~ dream ~

a girl can always berangan... about everything... from d house you want 2have someday, to d type of guy u wish u can date, to d clothes u would wear on your 1st apperance in a television show, to d place/island you want 2go if you win half a million. well, as i said, about everything. almost everything.

i suka gk berangan2 ni. selalu lk tu. lpstu wt dialog2 gilo. berangan kn katanye =)

once, i was on d phone with a friend. we were having girl talk about men and we also talked about gosip artis laki kt Msia ni... bercinta, then break. bercinta, then break. during that phone cnvrsation, we were talking about a particular artis lelaki. so, with my creative head, i said to my friend, what if 1 hari nt artis laki tu bercouple dgn i? and our conversation continued with her asking me whether i sggp tahan diterjah by org2 tv (we specifically mentioned a TV program) yg ty soalan maut. again with some creative thinking, we came up with a possible interview question from d wartawan, yg bunyinye lbh kurg cmni:-

"btul ke u dgn XYZ skrg? dia dulu dgn pelakon wanita ABC tu, cantik, comel, etc2. tp dh break & skrg dgn u pulak. u rs2 la, pe yg buat dia leh terpikat kt u agknye ye cz frankly speaking, u bknnye ada rupa pun".

~ awas, soalan interview cmni mmg lh wt pns ati & telinga dgr ~

tp i nk jwb dgn pnh konfiden... imagine ye, sila imagine if i jwb cmni -

"yeah, i may not have d beauty, but i have d BRAIN" (muahahaha... &gelak).

ok... tu adalah cnth pertama.

br2 ni lk, i terbc yg Adam Levine sudah break-off jugak dgn supermodel girlfren. smpi potg rmbt botak (tp x la botak abis) bcz sedih sgt katanye. kesian. kesian. so, i was thinking (berangan lg), hmmm... bila berangan sorg2 x syok, kita cari kwn yg leh lyn. so, i text my friend about this & bg ayt gtl skali... konon ayt tu dituju utk Adam Levine, ngehehehe... yg berbunyi:-

"i kn ada"

~ gilo!!! ;) ~

tp, kwn i ckp i kna compete dgn Jennifer Love Hewitt la pulak cz dia pn admire Adam Levine gk. alaaaaa, sj je la nk potg line. haish!!! xpe, again i feel that though i don't have d beauty, but i hv d BRAIN. yeeeeee, BRAIN itu penting juga ye. muahahaha, angan2 i sll smpi melampau2, smpi kwn i kata i mimpi di mlm hari. utk i mbe la mimpi di mlm hari. utk Adam Levine, kalo dpt girlfren cm i, kira NIGHTMARE la kot T____T

d last movie i watched at the cinema was The Vow.

d movie is inspired from true events. played by Channing Tatum & Rachel McAdams, it's about a wife who suffers from memory loss after an accident. memory loss smpikan dia xigt lgsg that this guy is her husband. so, d husband gives his best to help her to recall her memories, including the vow they made on their wedding day. abis je citer, i mula berangan... kalo la i jd cm pompn tu, i xkn lupa la ada husband handsome & cool cmtu. kalaupun ilg igtn, i tetaaaaappp akn mengaku i still igt yg dia tu husband i. waaaahhh...prasan bhgia, hahahaha =) 

yes, a girl can always berangan... about everything. but never underestimate what berangan/dream can do 2u... who knows, one day it will come true.

p/s: tp idok le smpi thp i nk kawen dgn Adam Levine tu btul2... kalo dpt yg iras2 pn, jadi la. (*blush*) lpstu suara sedap leh nyanyi utk i b4 tido. (*blush, blush*). & kpale gonjeng/botak (tak yah botak sgt pn xpe). me + botak/gonjeng, sprti xdpt dipisahkan, muahahaha.... ok, stop d berangan now. byeeee.

~ reminisce (PT. 2) ~

i was with my group of frens from uni last weekend. one of us gave birth to a cute baby girl and we paid her a visit at her home. 

they r actually frens since i was 18, kwn since matric lg (2 of them). yg len2 yg sma2 last Saturday (termasuk yg br jd ibu) adalah kenkwn bila dh masuk main campus, kenkwn zmn degree. & life i dgn diorg ms zmn degree dulu adalah terlbh colorful. 1 word 2describe it - ADVENTUROUS. mgkin msa zmn degree dulu stdnts yg npk i berjln dgn my crazy frens ni akn pkir, "cmne la dia leh kwn dgn bdk2 tu?" ok, let's be frank, THESE FRIENDS sndiri pnah ty kt i, "cmne la ko lh kwn dgn kitorg ye?" maybe it's too obvious yg i ni byk sgt beza dgn diorg. tp stil lh ngam sma2 =)

i was not in d same class with them. bkn stakat x sma class, course pn xsama weh. i ni antara bdk ICT yg tercmpk kt hostel sblh dgn hostel bdk2 laki (during that time, most ICT students dok kt hostel atas bukit, bkn kt sblh hostel bdk laki). my crazy frens ni lk sma2 course... ada yg amik econs & business, ada yg human science. tp TAKDE yg sma course dgn i :( so, bila dlm bilik, diorg wt dscssn utk assgnmnt/exam, i ni perah otak hafal programming code or bc buku programming/database/network sorg2, lpstu bila xphm xleh ty diorg. leh nanges tahu T___T

oh ye, msa ofismet called ty i nk g mna & kua dgn sape, my answer was "kuar dgn geng2 menyusup kt longkang la" :) ye, these crazy frens yg wt life i pn giller sma ajr i menyusup kt bwh pagar&lalu dlm longkang, hahaha. hostel dh la sblh dgn bdk2 laki. blok lk paling blkg, paling dkt dgn tmpt parking tp xde pintu selain pintu dpn kt mak guard hostel utk g parking lot. one of us ms tu bw keta & park kt parking lot tu. tp, perangai masing2 malas nk berjln dr blok plg blkg to main entrance kt mak guard tu & lpstu nk lalu tepi main road br leh smpi parking lot. so most of the time we decided utk lalu je bwh pgr & masuk kt longkang (nsb baik longkang mmg longkang kering xde air/smph), then TADAAAAAA... smpi kt parking lot & kita lh g mkn kt Hj. Tapah. hahaha, creative? ke, giller? ;)

pe lg eh aktiviti yg i wt dgn diorg ni? haaaa!!! dulu kna g khemah ibadat br leh lulus & grad from uni. & we registered for KURSUS KAWEN, hahaha. kursus kawen pn slh 1 prgrm khemah ibadat okeh. i g kursus kawen dah... bkn dgn bakal husband, tp dgn geng2 giller ni :) so, jgn ty la pe i bljr msa kursus kawen tu, ilmu sprtinye x melekat dlm otak cz i dok dgn geng2 giller ni.

kalo bln puasa, we took turn 2cook. memasak adalah aktiviti haram di hostel. tp, we survived, without anyone's rice cooker kna rampas. sahur org len masak. dugaan bsr utk yg memasak utk kejutkn geng2 lain yg sedap tido. berbuka lk turn org len masak. lpstu sma2 g beli ingredients kt Ong Tai Kim. msa ni dh xyh nk lalu bwh pgr & menyusup kt longkang lg kalo nk g parking lot. zmn ni kitrg dh pndh hostel. dpt dok kt hostel br, lg dkt dgn main entrance uni. tp stil la sblh dgn kwsn hostel bdk2 laki. nk g parking lot dh x jauh, dh xyh lalu kt mak guard. turun blok leh trus smpi kt keta. UP sket la life kt hostel br, hahaha.

TV pn adalah menda haram utk dibawak kt hostel. tp we survived... xde yg kehilangan TV msa spotchck. alhamdulillah :) bila tau je nk spotchck, TV adalah antara brg yg diselamatkn dulu, muahaha. pdhl, TV tu gmbrnye black & white, bkn TV color pn. tp, asal ada, asal jd, asal dpt je nk tgk tv... xkesah la gmbr itam putih cm zmn dolu2 pn. tgk citer antu Ju-On sma2 dlm gelap. tgk citer antu thailand. tgk citer antu indon. yg mna berani, tgk dgn cool rilex. yg mna jns yg blur, pn tgk dgn rilex je. yg penakut cm i, ada la selimut ke or kusyen ke share sma2 utk tutup muka/mata.

dgn diorg gk i bljr main roller blade =) kt hostel br tu ada badminton & basketball courts. so, we played rollerblade there. i ni penakut. bljr naik basikal msa kecik2 dulu mmg i xpnah jatuh cz i akn pstikan ayahnda ada utk sambut i b4 i turun dr basikal. so, msa dh bsr2 ni nk bljr main rollerblade, i PKSA diorg make sure i xjatuh. so, tiap kali nk mencuba, ada la yg akn jd guardian angel kna ikut/pgg i. RASANYE cm xpenah jth pn la cz diorg ada :)

trip g Penang dgn diorg mmg best ;) yg br jd ibu tu dulu dok kt Penang. so, she invited us 2follow her during one of the holidays. naik tren mlm. from KL Sentral. i ni mmg la dh biasa naik tren zmn2 5thn skolah menengah dulu. tu naik tren 2nd class. almaklumla, tiket disponsor. tp trip g Penang ni hanya mmpu beli tiket tren 3rd class. harus berjimat, zmn bljr kna jimat2 duit ptptn gk. keluasan dlm coach of course different from coach 2nd class. dgn sejuknye lg, gegegege. tp seronok sgt!!!

we completed our degree not with flying colours but with colourful experiences =) they decided 2find a job & i decided 2continue my study. again, at d same uni. sng sket. msa wt masters, dh xde roommates. each get her own room. so, cz sorg conquer 1 bilik, bilik i jd port utk yg menumpang sementara dpt keja. yg bgsnye, bila i ralit main game, yg menumpang akn remindkn i utk siapkn assignment. kekerapan i dpt ayt "bila ko nk siapkn assignment ko ni?" adalah tinggi cz i terlalu into Zuma msa tu, hahaha. nk dkt2 konvo, bilik i jd tmpt ditumpang (sgkt robe masing2, melepak2, main game, etc2.). on d convocation day itself, bilik i jd tmpt bersiap2. wpn i ni xsma course dgn diorg, tp sesi convo i sma dgn 4 of them.

they were there not just during the happy times, tp msa zmn dukalara gk. and on our way back from rumah ibu baru last Saturday, we were reminiscing about those crazy uni times, and again kuar soalan "a'ah kn, ko ni lain sket tp cmne ntah lh masuk skali?". i can just replied "entah". but truth is, in my heart i am grateful for these crazy set/bunch of people to be called as friends. hah, sesi promo... 4 of us are still single ok =)

.bye.

"we had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun" ~ Westlife

here's one youtube video that i like. it reminds me of the fun (TRUE fun) that i had during primary school.

i can recall those days when we had to beratur b4 we enter d classroom & we hv 2put both hands on the shoulders of d person in front of us. what i can't understand is d reason behind it. at my school, it was not d teacher who gave the "Angkat-Turun" instruction. it was d prefect.

kelengkapan nk g skolah, there's d colour pencils that we love - LUNA :) and d schoolbag - SWAN :) tp masa tu schoolbag sume pakai di bahu, bknnye ditarik. and our favourite shoes - kasut BATA. botol air bersize besar & tinggi - from TUPPERWARE (zmn dulu lg dh de brand Tupperware). tidak dilupakn, pensil yg leh tukar2 mata dia tu. pensil tu xde brand. but we always felt proud when we hv 1.

we didn't have handphones and d variety of gadgets back then. so we played batu seremban, cop tiang, galah panjang, lompat getah, baling selipar, pepsi-cola, etc2 during recess (or, bila cekgu x masuk kelas, hahaha). asal nk pilih teammate utk main lompat getah or galah pnjg sure lattalilattalitamplom =) sometimes main netball di bawah terik mentari. ni kalau skolah sesi ptg la. smpi skolah awl, trus g cari netball dlm store sukan&g main kt pdg. masa tu xtau pn rs panas. lpstu dh berpeluh2 bdn, masuk kelas. muahahahaha... cmne i lh bertahan bdn dh melekit2 lps main netball tgh pns tp stil lh masuk klas smpi la abis wktu skolah ptg, i pn xtau.

photography session with d class teacher was always held kt taman. sape yg pendek, dok dpn. & those taller ones hv 2stand behind them (2nd row) and another row adalah yg kna berdiri kt ats kerusi. i was never in d shorter-kids category during primary school. so, sllnye akn kna berdiri ats kerusi, 3rd row.

during those days, we really make full use of our time at school not just 2study but also 2have fun. and this video brings back those memories of how much fun i had in school. how i miss my life as a tembam primary school kid.

~ April yg padat ~

d 95th day of d year, we've completed d 1st quarter of 2012. anything can happen in d next 271 days. hoping that everyone of u have at least reach some of the targets this year.

Hari Kraf Kebangsaan 2012 ended Monday. for d past 2 weeks, i blk rumah around kul9mlm, smpi rumah dkt kul10. the next morning hrs bgn kul5.30pg & kuar rumah nk g keja kul6.20. that was d the cycle utk 2 minggu yg lps. it's not that i'm complaining (best gak la everyday puas mengukur tanah pusing2 cari brg (read: T-U-D-U-N-G) kt Kompleks Kraf tu & finally managed to get 1 utk raya nt). tp bila cycle bermula blk d next day, arggghhhh!!! sprti nk ngs bgn tido kul5.30 pagi tahu.

so bila semlm blk kerja, naik lrt & smpi kt stesen Ampg Park & langit masih cerah, pktaan 1st to my father bila masuk kete - "waaaahhh, kita blk harini stil siang la". apakah??!! sang bapa diam. org kata, diam tndanya setuju.tp mungkin juga sang bapa diam cz masih lg dlm mode Hari Kraf. tp bila dh jauh sket gerak dr stsn Ampg Park tu, br dia bg respon - "hmmm... dh 2minggu kita blk mlm".

oh ye, i aritu x sebut pn psl shoe fest. kesian de kwn ajk i g tp kna mrh dgn i. mungkin gk cz seiring dgn pningkatan usia, skrg ada kesedaran, allah bg kaki hanya sepsg so takyah nk beli kasut mcm kaki ada 86 pasang =) nsb baik gk on d day yg konon2 KALAU SEMPAT nk g shoe fest tu, ternpk bunting tulis shoe fest adalah ujung minggu tu. maka, secara automatik cancel plan, xjd g PWTC. alhamdulillah.

tp ujung bln ni kalo nk g PWTC utk KL International Book Fair, boleh la ajak i, hehehe. memandangkn book fair dh dkt & kalo g book fair nt i membeli belah sedangkn buku dlm kabinet ada more than 10 lg yg lom baca (dan i membc buku citer agak slow cz suka nk feeling2 cm jd character dlm buku tu), maka harus tanamkn azam mulai sekarang utk cuma PEGANG & BLAH from d booth. awwwhhhh, sedih tullllll!!! 1hb May cuti Hari Buruh. so mari beramai2 meriahkn book fair nt eh. it's actually going 2b from 27 April - 6 May. pandai btul organizer buat book fair lps org dh dpt gaji, kn. diorg nk menggalakkn mak2 & bapak2 beli buku utk anak2 tu. checheche... konon bersangka baik ;)

& utk yg obses with IT, PC Fair tgh bln April ni, jgn lupa eh!!! kalo nk specific date, 13 - 15 April. oh, msa tu tgh bln. mungkin berkira2 utk survive smpi dpt gaji. so, ada possibility utk mmg xkn beli apa2. OR, kalo lbh kental, mmg xkn g lgsg. hahaha.

okeh. yg i ckp kt atas tu are events umum utk rkyt Msia je. blom cmpr dgn events utk office! around this time last year, i was busy preparing myself (mentally la yg sebenarny) for d journey (syria-jordan-umrah). this year, waaaaahhh... begitu padat skali April ye. i'm sooooo looking forward utk 1 May (though i have no idea what's in store for me in May).

smoga hidup lbh tenang utk bln ni. smoga hati lbh tabah bln ni. smoga dpt yg indah2 bln ni. smoga harini lbh baik dr smlm, bln ini lbh baik dr bln lps. oh Allah d most merciful, please grant my wishes.
