i am a fan...

i am a fan of reality tv program or game shows. tp i enjoy certain2 program je... yg melibatkn nyanyi2 or menari2, i kureng sket. TAPI, yg involve games mencabar minda & fizikal & mengelilingi dunia, yg kna masak2, kna idup in their tribe kt tmpt yg cm mustahil utk nk idup, kna kerah tenaga utk nk kurus in 4 months, haaa.... yg jns2 cmni i suka =) let's be specific, mari lihat yg i senarai di bawah utk segala game show yg i suka.

~ Amazing Race ~

ni mmg program amazing abis!!! masuk je Amazing Race, lh g negara2/tmpt2 yg rsnye dlm kehidupan ni mmg x mampu nk g (unless bersuamikan org kaya, hahaha... okeh, harta bkn segalanye - tiba2 dtg kesedaran). i suka Amazing Race cz contestants tercabar physical & mental, being tested on whether they are smart enuf to compete. if bdn gagah perkasa tp nk solve puzzle pn terkial2 (or psg paip pn x reti & etc2.), mmg la dpt kutukan iklas dr i. recently asyik kna tgk map nk g lokasi knduri kawen, trs rs diri cm hebat cz pndi bc map & hebat jd co-pilot. tp cukup ke berbekalkn skill pndi bc map je? ok, tak perlu jwb... ye, i tau i mmg lemah lg lembik, huhuhuh...)

~ Top Chef ~

skill memasak i yg mmg xleh diharap mmg telah diketahui umum among kwn2 (pengakuan ni mmg membakar diri bila org len bc blog ni gk). so, bila tgk org len gila hebat lh prepare food laju2, hias cntk2, bg judges mkn, whoaaaa... sntiasa rs cm "hebat giller diorg ni"... walaupun pd hakikatnya kutukan kritikan from judges utk diorg smtimes boleh terbakar tlinga mendengar. dh nama contest pn TOP chef. apa pn judges ckp, take it... or else, leave!!!

~Survivor ~

i started tgk Survivor yg season kt africa. masa tu suka giller ethan menang. tp part yg i tak suka bila tgk survivor adalah part iklan. skt ati tgk br sekejap tp iklan berjela. lpstu mata ngantuk. tp sggp tahan cz nak tau sape yg kna voted out. sepjg2 tgk Survivor, ada satu manusia ni yg jd pujaan i. sgt suka the host, encik Jeff yg cool *blush* asal tgk de contestants yg menjengkelkan, hati trus rs "semoga ko kna vote kuar krg". bila tgk2 x kuar gk & leh stay for another week, tido dgn skt ati & smbg geram for another week, muahahaha... sgt ntah hape2!!!

~ The Biggest Loser ~

ada beberapa org x phm knp i suka sgt tgk Biggest Loser ni. according to them, i bknnye perlu wt extreme workout cm all d contestants. tp i suka cz tgk dirg bersemangat waja, berjiwa kental & berhati keras nk lose weight to get a better life. i'm impressed la. dan another person yg i suka sepjg2 tgk Biggest Loser ni is, encik Bob *blush lg* hahaha... owh, i suka!!!

tp cz semangat x sabar ingin tahu i sgt tinggi utk nk tau sape yg mng during the finale (Amazing Race ke, Top Chef ke, Survivor ke, Biggest Loser ke, etc2.) i check kt internet. hati tak kental, trus scroll cari sape yg mng. mmg xleh tgg surprise =)

unfortunate events

hahaha... bajet nk bg tajuk plg gempak, tp x brp nk gempak la pulak. tidak mengapalah... yg penting mahu beritahu bahawa harini ada beberapa unfortunate events happened dr pagi. oh, ianya bermula dr ptg smlm sbrnye...

ptg smlm...

i teman cousin i g pasar mlm. owh, psr mlm Tmn Melawati mmg menarik (as compared to psr mlm kt umah i la, huhuhu)!!! tp memandangkan antara kiriman2 food yg kna dibeli adalah LAKSA & laksa sedap yg dikirim ada kt foodcourt area Lembah Keramat, so menuju la g foodcourt lps dh settle beli mcm2 kt psr mlm. masa order, i rs cousin i dh sebut LAKSA kt makcik tu. i pn xde la nk check makcik tu bgks pe dlm plastik. agak2 mcm btul la mkck bgkskn laksa & bg kt i. lama sbnrnye tgg kt kedai tu cz cousin i order sate gk. lps dpt sate, dh settle byr & plstk LAKSA ada kt tgn, so nk jln blk la g kereta. tp cm tergerak hati nk check pe dlm plstk kt tgn. rupenya bkn LAKSA okeh.... tp... jeng3.... BAKSO!!! haih!!! nsb baik check b4 blk. if x, dh smpi umah, sape nk mkn bakso tu? *kesimpulannye, xde la unfortunate sgt*

breakfast td...

harini kerja. smlm dh bfast nasik lemak. so, harini cm teringin nk breakfast McD & mkn kt office. masa nk order, agak lama tgk food displayed kt board cz i couldnt decide what to eat (tekak teringin nkn McD, tp leh plak la x tau nk mkn pe). then dh wt decision, g counter & i sebut "saya nk yg hotcakes with sausage tu. tp saya x nk yg ermmm..." tak sempat habis ayat, abg kat kaunter ckp "owh, nk yg hotcakes je?" & i dgn confident jwb "A'AH". actually, i mmg nk yg hotcakes with sausage, tp i xnk yg set. oh my god!!! pg td kpale xleh pkir la nk sebut "saya taknak yg set", trus2 je g confirm kat abg tu "ye nk hotcakes je". so, leh agak la pe i dpt by d time i tgk food masa nk bfast kt office pg td kan? kan?!! kan?!!! ye... i just got d hotcakes shj, without the sausage. hampa. jgn tanya whether i kenyang/x, huhuhu... T_T

pg td juga...

pg td i xtau de event kt dataran merdeka. normally, kalo ada program apa2 (especially program melibatkn larian2 ni), de information kt electronic board or that polis ltk penghadang jln supaya org xmasuk jln yg terlibat utk larian tu. tp pg td, xde info & xde penghadang jln, igtkn everything clear. tiba2 dkt roundabout yg dh dkt nk smpi office, kereta2 sume kna stop lama. if polis release pn, ada la dlm 3 or 4 kereta je yg lps. i dh agk hangin dh pg2 tu. krn lapar & risau terlmbt smpi office & i taknak tgg lg lama cz i pn xtau brp lama nk kna tgg kt ctu & kereta2 dh byk yg honking cz xpuas ati kna stop lama, i decided utk jln kaki from there to office. nsb baik la x jauh sgt lg dh. tp jenuh gk la nk berjalan dgn paperbag McD lg, huhuhu... (agk malu sbnrnye cz semua org sibuk2 berlari marathon amalan gaya idup sihat, tp i pgg paperbag McD. sggh la amalan x sihat, huhuhu...)

tghari td...

tetiba haus & nk amik air kt pantry. i normally would campur air pns & air sejuk fr water dispenser tu. i wouldnt take the air sejuk sahaja... dan i wouldnt take the air pns sahaja (kalo nk terbakar tekak, leh la amik air pns je dlm mug, muahahah). selalunye, air pns suku gelas & d rest is air sejuk (sukatan adalah sehingga suku mug). tp td, xtau la pe dlm kpale ni masa amik air, i tekan air pns smpi dh nk penuh mug. then br perasan, "eh, pe aku dh buat ni?" kalo la i xprasan, sure i dh minum air pns tu trus. scary!!!! then terpkir, "what happened sbnrnye? apasal ada je menda x btul since pg td eh?"hmmm... musykil...

smoga no more unfortunate events smpi la i nk blk krg. berharap... berharap...

mmg power...

recently i went to "Promosi Kerja Kahwin" at Kompleks Kraf, Jln. Conlay. to those who do not know d place, it's d building next to Royal Chulan Hotel, the hotel where Serina (anak Chef Wan) held her wedding reception. if you still do not know it, then Googlemap it or use you GPS to go there, hahaha... ok diam, stop merapu. i sbnrnye nk ckp psl d event, yeah the "Promosi Kerja Kahwin". namanye mmg la "Promosi Kerja Kahwin" tp i went to the booths ALMOST EVERYDAY cz nk cari/cuci mata tgk kain & tudung. confession of a kain-addict... kain dan tudung mmg xleh nk dipisahkan dgn i, hahaha... ok, tipu... kalo kain kt Jln TAR i takleh nk addict sgt cz nnt masa g lunch/berjimba masa break pjg on Friday, ada je terjmp org yg pki baju sama dgn i. so, x leh nk addicted sgt kt kain2 kt Jln TAR. *haihhhh!!! shut up... sibuk divert citer je npknye ni*.

ok, i sbnrnye nk citer betapa amazed nye i during the event to see that most pengusaha nowadays use technology to promote their product/service. yg fotografer2 sume takyah ckp la kn... skrg ni if buat survey kerja pe yg leh bg side income menggalakkan, leh la jwb jd fotografer for events (especially wedding). sape2 yg berminat nk jd fotografer ni kena de passion (bkn ke mmg kna de passion in whatever we do?) & add some magical touch to your work, then sure org ckp "wahhh!!! mengagumkan!!! impressive la kerja ko". mostly diorg ni promo dgn amik gmbr artis2 kawen. tp, if x artis pun xpe gak, asalkan d end product yg dirg amik gmbr client tu jd cantik, gigi tersusun rapi, mata shining abis, then people will be talking and u know how powerful word of mouth is. tp akn lbh membantu dgn work of technology... create website/facebook/etc2. for the benefit of anyone reading this blog yg interested to get a photographer for your wedding/other events/functions/etc2, sila la tgk http://www.thephotolicious.com/, http://www.danialhaikalphotography.com/, and http://www.serinditphoto.com/.

bkn tu je, butik yg offer wedding package mcm2 (baju, pelamin, hantaran, makeup, souvenirs, etc2 sekali harung) also have their own website skrg. canggih dh skrg ni... "zaman dah berubah", hahahah. jika berminat, sila tgk links such as http://www.satrisanggun.com/ (also can type "satri's anggun" in facebook), http://www.butikpengantinrs.com/ (or their fotopages: http://butikrs.fotopages.com/), http://zielynn.fotopages.com/ or visit their facebook by typing "butik zielynn", http://www.klweddingministry.com/ and http://www.persadaembun.com/.

as mentioned earlier, i jd pengunjung setia kt this event cz nk cari kain. raya kn dh dekat, hahaha... alasan!!! (pdhal baju raya bkn dh siap ke?) ok, mission accomplished mencari kain... beli 2 pasang AAAAANNNDDD tudung 2 helai. giller la!!! that's not the only mission i sepjg tgk event ni. mata i sbnrnye melilau tgk baju cntk kt patung (apsal kt patung je sure cantik?), then amik gmbr, then nk mntk makcik tailor tlg jahit bj cntk, design cm yg patung2 ni pki. sila la tgk bj2 cntk yg harga dia rm14000 ni, terbeliak mata weh... leh byr downpaymnt keta okeh!!! nk beli sure tak mampu la kn. nk jd artis glamer yg semua butik pn sggp nk sponsor baju i pun tak mampu gk rasanye. i ni mampu jd artis pe pn xtau, xde artistic talent lgsg *sigh* tp xpe, dah berjaya amik gmbr baju cntk2, skrg lh mntk makcik tailor jahit bj cantik utk i. yeah!!!

b4 i end, td kn dh ckp yg skrg ni semua pn promo service/product masing2 dlm website. maju btul business diorg ni. d power of technology is so amazing, u jz dont know how many people is reading/browsing through your site. tp if product yg satu ni pn de website sndiri, sure maju giller. tp xpe la makcik. makcik ni guna kaedah lama nk promo product dia pn i rs maju gk, skrg i mcm dh ter"obses" dh dgn product mkck ni. tp sayang ler xde website, huhuhu...

yeah!!! puding diraja ni mmg marvellous ok!!!

bye.

jordan-syria-madinah-mekah (Pt. 3)

semlm genap 1month i blk from umrah. 29 April to 29 May... yes, genap sebulan. friends and family members would ask me "seronok tak?" and my standard answer would be "seronok. seronok sgt". mmg seronok sgt. personally, i feel that takde tmpt dlm dunia ni yg bg ketenangan mcm ketenangan yg i rs kt Mekah and Madinah.

utk kwn2 yg ada cita2 nk g wt umrah, my nasihat is pergi la masa muda ni. i know, ada menda2 yg you nk jg b4 g umrah dgn lapang hati... cnthnye, nk cukupkn duit, nk uruskan anak2, family, kerja, etc2. tp i rs untung g masa muda ni... bdn sihat, tenaga ada. tp yelah, depends la pd keadaan. diri yg nk g pn kna jg, family yg ditinggalkn pn kna take care gk.

ada menda2 yg i jg bila kt Mekah especially. mulut, mata & hati... 3 parts yg i rs penting utk i cntrl bila kt sana. ada my frens yg ckp i ni kdg2 tak reti nk control mulut, ckp kdg2 main TERlps je bila kt sini, especially bila tgk menda2 pelik. daaaaan, i admit la, mmg btul pn perangai i cmtu. dat's y masa kt sana i usaha jg mata, cntrl supaya tak melilau sgt pndgn cz bila TERnpk smthing, sure nk TERckp smthing or TERdetik smthing dlm hati. kalau yg TERdetik tu baik, alhamdulillah. otherwise, byk2 kna istighfar, mntk allah ampunkan dosa.

b4 i g, ada org pesan, "mntk la apa u  nk dgn semahu2nye kt sana cz takde tmpt lain spti kt sana". mmg btul pun. dats y kt sana selalu sgt tersyahdu hati, huhuhu. i tak tau la cmne feeling org lain tp when i was there, i  kept on thinking that "this is between me and allah", wpun kita g berteman. so, menangis leleh air mata cmne pn, takyah la nk malu cz afterall hanya allah je yg tau apa yg you nk.

b4 i g, ada org pesan lg, "kalau jmp org yg layan kita tak baik, jgn marah2 cz we never know whether itu adalah org or smthing yg menyerupai manusia". phm?!! x paham xpe. yg i nk point out is, kita jgn expect lynan mewah kt sana... or, that semua org akn layan kita baik... or that kita akan dpt mkn sedap memanjang kt sana. blablabla... because, when we have our own EXPECTATION and tiba2 yg kita dpt kt sana semuanya lain, mula timbul feeling lain dlm hati. betul?!! so, better g sana dgn hati kosong, hati lapang, serahkan urusan kpd allah, mntk allah tlg mudahkan semua yg kita nk buat, mntk allah bg kesihatan. then bila kita jmp things yg tak seperti kita jangkakan, terima dgn lapang hati & pkir "this is another experience that i have in my life".

okeh, i think cukup la i describe sket je my journey sepjg umrah & ziarah. THANK YOU utk semua2 yg doakn i pergi & blk dgn selamat... i doakan moga2 anda dan anda dan anda2 semua dimudahkn utk wt umrah gk satu hari nnt. THANK YOU for granting me my wish =)

another update on my journey to the Holy Land...

slps dh beberapa hari kt Syria&Jordan we headed to Madinah. experience 1st kt Madinah adalah dok mkn burger dlm compound Masjid Nabawi, hehehe. (knp mesti 1st experience nk ckp psl food?) dh tu, dok dlm bus semlman from Jeddah to Madinah... then bila smpi hotel dh after wktu bfast... so, mengisi perut dgn beli burger & dok mkn kt dlm compound msjd while waiting for Zohor and nk lunch lps smyg.

b4 msuk msjd utk smyg kt Masjid Nabawi, sll guard akn check beg. apa2 yg guard tak puas ati de dlm beg yg kita bw, dia suruh buang. adalah 1 time i terkena... guard check beg & jmp milo 3-in-1. i bw milo tu cz lps smyg subuh nk g breakfast trus. so, dok la mengexplain kt guard tu "milo 3-in-1 ni is for my breakfast"... nsb baik dia x suruh buang that small packet.

lps dh beberapa hari kt madinah, mula la our journey to mekkah utk wt umrah. mmg syahdu la nk tgglkn madinah... just never know bila dpt dtg lg *sob...sob...sob...* bertolak from madinah around 3.30 p.m by bus and smpi kt mekah 7 jam kemudiannye. lama kn? mmg lama... tp x terasa sgt sbb, erm... erm... i tido (*blush*). oh ye, 1 experience masa lalu kt highway on our way to mekah... adalah 1 eksiden kt tgh2 highway tu & cuba teka sape yg dtg utk rescue? helicopter beb!!!! canggih la... ptt la wpun eksiden tp jammed x jauh sgt.

as mentioned dlm earlier post, my fren & i created our BEST EVER list kn. so, masa stop mkn b4 smpi mekkah, we had our BEST EVER meal... ikan bakar!!! nearly 2 weeks x dpt ikn, skali dpt trus licin ikan, hahahaha...

reached mekkah at 1030p.m, rest jp kt hotel & performed our 1st umrah midnite tu (12 a.m). npk la rmi org tawaf cz mlm2 x pns. my 1st feeling tgk kaabah? kagum!!! x sgka tmpt yg kita ngadap utk smyg everyday ada kt dpn mata. sgt rs rendah diri... dan syahdu lg, huhuhu... our mutawwif (org yg guide utk buat umrah) was org muda from indonesia yg study kt sana. so, we stayed in a group together with him throughout the whole process of performing our 1st umrah. cmplete tawaf, we performed sa'ie, then bergunting rmbt, then complete la my 1st umrah :) alhamdulillah...

kt mekkah pn ada kwsn2 menarik to visit. kalo g visit then mmg lalu tmpt utk berniat umrah, then berniat la umrah sekali. so, bkn la 1 kali je dpt buat umrah sbnrnye. utk tatapan umum, my pictures while at madinah & mekkah...

jordan-syria-madinah-mekah (Pt. 1)

i never got the chance to really update about the journey (KL-Jordan-Syria-Madinah-Mekah). still doing my best to get things done at the office... 2 weeks xde kt office weh, mcm2 nk kna settle/update. memandangkan perjlnan buat umrah cover jugak trip to Jordan & Syria, so harus divide into different update kot... skrg ni i citer experience kt jordan & syria la eh... next time i citer yg kt madinah & mekah.

flight i from KL turun kt jordan. fuhhhh!!!! 12 jam dlm flight, cmpr transit kt bangkok tp dok dlm fligt je cz xleh kuar pn... dan memberi rs sprti nk kematu kpd backside :( di saat2 xleh tido (wpun org lain semua cm syok je layan tido dlm flight), i pn tgk muvi. then tiba la saat mkn. then tido kejap. then bgn & tgk muvi lg & mkn. then tido kejap. then bgn tgk muvi lg & then trus xleh tido.... haish!!!

trip ni cuma ada 4 org warga muda. lain2 semua pangkat pakcik2&makcik2, tp semua sempoi!!! memandangkan i g dgn kwn yg sekepala gilo dgn i (wahai kwn, harap maaf), aktiviti berjln2 lbh byk membabitkn kami bergelak ketawa. kdg2 risau gk kot2 pakcik makcik igt both of us adalah remaja2 hyper, tp nsb baik x pernah dpt any remark psl kegilaan kami =) dan ada beberapa mkck yg CUBA nk tau berapa umur i *blush* dan ada gk mkck yg ckp "adik ni npk lg muda dr kami" *blush lg, hehehe*

jordan & syria adalah dingin... sejuk & dingin WPUN matahari terik memancar smpi menyukarkn nk bukak mata dlm gmbr, hahahaha... sejuk & dingin yg memberikn i keadaan idung berdarah setiap hari while i was there (perasaan yg agk tak best bila hidung berdarah everyday okeh). tp di bwh matahari terik tu la org2 syria suka ber"picnic"... picnic di tepi jln raya di bwh panas terik, picnic di tgh2 roundabout di bwh pns terik gk, picnic dan picnic dan picnic... smpi i agk panik tgk diorg picnic merata2, hehehehe... 

membeli belah kt syria pki syrian pound. tp they do accept US dollar as well. i? i guna USD jelah. mslhnye xtau nk ckp brg kt syria tu murah or mahal. let's see... eskrem yg 2 scoop tu USD1, air mineral botol besar tu USD1, erm... dah x igt dh apa lg yg USD1 cz i pn x beli brg byk pn. oh... eskrem sedap ke? okeh, kalau mengikut kwn i yg sama dlm trip ni, she said "ORG CKP eskrem kt syria ni sedap". so we tried... & i had 1scoop of pistachio + 1 scoop of stroberi. yg i leh ckp sedap adalah stroberi shj. yg pistachio lk, rs x seperti yg diharapkn, huhuhuhu...

food... erm... i obses dgn juice yg hotel bg for breakfast ;) most of the time, i xleh nk perabihkan food kerana, welllllll... they served large portion la... kalo ada 3org yg size perut dia cm i, we can share the same plate, hehehe. oho, ada sekali tu dpt nasik yg di"serve" bersama mknan lain & rs mmg fabulous ala2 cm Nandos. tp perut tak mengizinkan i utk mkn lbh byk. ayam yg restoran tu serve 3ketul for each of us tp i just mkn 1 je. agk rugi, kn... my fren and i have created our "BEST EVER" list... BEST breakfast EVER, BEST lunch EVER, BEST dinner EVER, BEST supper EVER, BEST juice EVER. byk benor menda yg BEST EVER berkaitan dgn mknan. npk sgt main sapu je amenda yg diorg serve, wakakakaka...

we went to many interesting places kt syria & jordan. went to makam salahuddin al-ayubi, bazar hudaibiyah, umayyad mosque (memang cntk la msjd ni), makam 2 org isteri rasulullah, gua Ashabul-Kahfi, Laut Mati, etc2. kesimpulannye, no words can describe betapa i rs sgt bersyukur for having the chance to visit these places.

okey, utk tatapan umum, some of the pictures taken at syria & jordan =) will update further later.
