~ 2nd time Melbourne ~

kejap je masa berjln... pejam celik pejam celik, dh middle of October. 1 day I was focusing on some project, d next thing I know is that i'm involved with somthg else. 1 day I was a committee for 1 event & d next day I was on d plane for 8 hours...

 

 

oh, itu midnight ye kt Melbourne by d time I dpt immigratn stamp tu. yeah, life is moving too fast nowadays.

 

sejuk sgt ms br2 kua fr Melbourne International Airport. sejuk yg bernafas kua asap2 tu. nsb baik xlama pn nk kna tgg Skybus smpi. (Info #1: hrga tiket Skybus AUD17 utk satu hala. bus direct to Southern Cross Station, about 5minutes walk to my hotel). I reached hotel around 1.30 a.m, equivalent to 10.30 p.m kt Msia. it's now Spring, so there's 3 hours time difference. mlm is a little shorter than siang, kul8 cmtu br gelap and 6.30 pg cmtu dh terang. I ended up tido around kul3 pg mlm I smpi tu & risau d next day tu x terbgn kul6 pg cz i'm actually going to some beautiful places. that and so much more later in the other entry eh. for now, mahu adjust mata utk tido. daaaa...

 

~ "contoh lelaki hensem?" ~

** utk peminat artis2 yg disebutkan, this is just my personal preference. hrp maaf if you don't agree with me. this is nothing to do with being fanatic. it's just how I feel/think about smthg.

 

there's this telefilm on tv recently that sparked a conversation with my fren - "contoh lelaki hensem?" to an unmarried girl like me (ehehehehe), the LOOK/FEATURES is not what we I really look for. it's more of good qualities that he has and how well the guy treats me as his girl. and also, how he makes me feel comfortable just to be me. and also, how he makes me feel berlapang hati all the time (if dpn2 je dia buat I berlapang hati tp sbnrnye ada "sesuatu" when he's not around yg buat I rs cm x brp best, pn xbgs gk). but if good qualities comes with good look/features, itu bonus namanye (dan harus bersyukur).

 

oh, I dh terjauh menyimpang =) ayuh lah kita lihat sapekah jejaka2 yg jth dlm kategori hensem pd mata i. this list is random, xde kedudukan carta teratas or terbwh.

 

1) Aragorn

hrp maaf utk sesapa yg tak tgk the Lord of the Ring but I find Aragorn as lelaki handsome (ok, rs nk blushing, hahahaha). I mean, the Aragorn yg ala2 comot-and-cool, not the actor (if Viggo Mortensen is reading this, I like you more as Aragorn. *wink*). as if he's reading this, hahahaha =p I suka Aragorn since study kt uni lg. my frens dgn baik hatinya bg I a big frame yg leh gantung kt dinding, with the casts of the LOTR dan Aragorn besar terpampang kt tgh2 poster tu. arghhh... suke giller! never mind about how comot he looked (org nk fight melwn makhluk2 durjana mmg la comot), but he is lelaki handsome-dan-gagah-dan-cool-dan-with-sharp-features.... dah, never mind, list itu boleh jd pjg.

 

2) Craig Fong

I like Craig Fong when I first saw him in Spinning Gasing. itulah jelah pun citer dia yg I tgk. 2nd time I saw him was at KLCC. Craig Fong in real life is handsome (*blush*). seriously, rs cm terpana (ecehcehceh) tgk dia jln sorg2 kt KLCC. this is another guy with sharp-features yg I rs hensem, hehehehehe.

 

3) Randy Pangalila

to me, Randy masuk kategori hensem-and-cute-and-manis-and-bersuara-sedap. pd kwn I lk, kna add "mama's boy" sbgi anthr descriptn utk define Randy Pangalila. (what kind of conversation la kitrg ni berckp? hahahah... iye, kami merapu). dgn suara best dan soothing lg (sape tak agree, takpe saya xmarah), mmg buat I cair la. and for Randy, I added another descrption yg kwn I pn nk tiru - "u-make-me-smile", hehehehehehehe.

 

4) Reza Minhat

I don't think I've watched any film/movie with Reza Minhat in it. Tp I know how he looks like cz I tgk promo citer Kil. to me, Reza ni bkn la kira hensem. dia ni lbh kpd "nice-looking-cz-u-r-sweet". pd awalnye, my fren consider Reza Minhat sbgi "u-make-me-smile". tp lps beberapa saat, dia cancelled Reza lps I ckp Randy yg "u-make-me-smile". wow, kuat btul penangan Randy =)

 

5) Beto Kusyairy

I've watched Beto Kusyairy several times tp xigt citer pe. xigt doesn't mean that I xminat ye cz sma jugak mcm lagu2 yg I minat, whch most of the time mmg I xigt pn sape yg nyanyi/the title of the song. plg baru I watched Beto in Istanbul Aku Datang, repeat xtau kali ke brp kt astro. tp xpe, disbbkn suka tgk Beto, xkesah pn tgk byk kali. to me, he's someone yg I kira sbgi smart... not in terms of the look, but he's smart in terms of the characters/works that he carries. and to give anthr description, he's "nice-to-look-at-cz-ur-look-kinda-menenangkan". gatal!

 

6) Jim Caviezel

ini pn sma cm Craig Fong and Aragorn, I like him bcz of the sharp features. watched him in Angel Eyes (with JLo).

 

7) Josh Hartnett

dlm byk2 movies yg ada Josh Hartnett, I like his looks dlm Black Hawk Down. oooohhh....again, comot dan gagah mcm Aragorn, hahahaha. I think dia ni lbh sesuai citer gaduh2/perang2 kot...rather than citer romantic comedy. I give him an A for Black Hawk Down and Pearl Harbor but B- for 40 Days and 40 Nights. eh, r we talking about movie rating now?  

 

8) Chris Pine

ni lg sorg, hensem thp cm "oooohhh...awat hensem sgt ko ni?". saw him in Blind Dating dan was impressed cz he looks so cool. tp agak x brp gemar sket tgk dia dlm Princess Diaries 2, don't know why. his blue eyes mmg leh buat terpana la (terpana lg!). owh, and if u've watched Rise of the Guardians, he did the voice for Jack Frost, lelaki ais tu. walau dlm kartun, ttp membygkn muka dia hensem, huuuuu... =)

 

itu hasil senarai based on conversation from Thursday smpi yesterday. emm... Jimmy Shanley, Aaron Aziz, Fahrin Ahmad, Kamal Adli, Remy Ishak, Hans Isaac... you guys are good looking and smart in your own way, tp x masuk in our list. list tu pn is just compilation of our IMAGINATION. future partner and husband (ntah siapalah dia) xperlu risau/rs tergugat cz as I said earlier, GOOD QUALITIES lbh pntg before LOOKS/FEATURES (having both would be bonus). i'm not searching for someone perfect, but searching for someone who can complete me =)

 

siapalah I to judge a person IN REAL LIFE berkaitan rupaparas ni. Allah dh jadikan masing2 ats bumi ni lain2, that's His specialty. so kita brsyukur la dpt psgn yg mcmne pn. ayt cliché akn berbunyi "kna cntk dua2, luaran dan dalaman". org cntk/hensem tp perangai buruk pn jd xcntk gk. org biasa2 je tp perangai elok mmg very valueable. so, kalo partner kita tu in terms of the look/features rs cm biasa2 aje, bsyukur la. dpt yg hensem/cntk, pn bersyukur (hensem/cntk tu mungkin ujian). dunia ni smntr je & kecntkn tu bkn eternal. eternal life kt Akhirat sna, bila semua org yg baik2 akn dpt gnjran Allah & sntiasa npk cntk mcm bidadari (I know bidadari is for perempuan but dnt know whats d word utk lelaki). kalo nk eternal npk cntk/hensem, sila la jgn berhenti berbuat baik.

 

.have a great week.

 

~ kenapa kurang berjaya masa interview ~

selama ni, i dok dgr je org complaint psl candidates yg dtg for intrvw kerja. 1 of my frens  yg pnah jd intrvwer for 1 international bank kt Msia ni ckp, among d mistakes yg awl2 lg dh dpt detect are:-

• x ikut arahan (cnth, instrctn given to submit resume by 5 ptg today by email. candidate submit d next morning)
• couldn't get d right fact (cnth, dh iklankn utk post Excecutive, tp candidate tls nk apply for Officer)
• writing skills (cnth, submit resume through e-mail tp e-mail xde subject)

 

so, bila i dpt opportunity jd slh sorg intrvwer utk posts yg available kt deptmnt i, br la i phm perasaan these interviewers. now i get u, huhuhu. based on my experience td, sila le bc what i think yg menybbkn cndidates yg dtg for intrvw kurg (or, tidak) berjaya (i sj tulis gna B.Malaysia):-

 

kemahiran gna English

xkesah la anda dr negeri mna pn dlm Msia ni, pastikan gna English dgn cara yg betul. i bkn nk suruh adik2 perasan jd omputih tp tlg la gna English ikut standard yg betul. xyah nk kemain belit lidah gna slang US or UK (unless kalo adik2 tau yg adik2 py English mmg superb). jangan jugak gna English ikut slang negeri masing2. guna English yg standard cm skolah je -- susunan ayt betul, prkataan tu sebut bg jelas. kalo adik2 nk describe diri sndiri as "talkative", jgn ckp "i am talk-active"... nk nanges weh dgr =(

 

kurg keyakinan diri

nk suruh describe diri gna 5 perkataan je, jgn la nervous. MUNGKIN la adik2 gemuruh sbb 1st time g intrvw la katakan. tp takyah luahkn gemuruh tu dgn perkataan. org yg mengintrvw ni mmg jelas dh npk adik gemuruh, takyah nk ditekankn lg thp gemuruh tu. cnth, "i am friendly....emm....emm... i'm also hardworking...aaaa...emmm...hmm, so difficult to describe because i'm nervous". kalo rs nervous or kurg keyakinan, ckp je "saya rs susah nk describe diri sndiri gna 5 perkataan sbb rsnye org lain lg pandai menilai diri saya", kn senang tu.

 

tak menjwb soalan

soalan2 ms intrvw kdg2 ditanya sbb nk tgk cara adik2 menjwb je. nk tgk samaada adik2 leh berfikir dgn baik tak utk bg cnth2. antara soalan yg i ty ms i interview candidate tu, ada je yg i sndiri pn xtau jwpnnye. i just ty, lpstu angguk2 konon2 btul la yg adik2 jwb (pdhal aku pn xtau). TAPI, kalau soalan yg ditanya tu adalah melibatkn proses kerja, jgn la adik2 bg jwpn samar2. paling teruk, kalo adik2 punya jawapan tu ntah dah ke mana pulak dah. cnth soalan i ty (soalan ni ditanya kt org yg nk mntk kerja kt library & soalan asal was in English), "cmne buat proses mengkatalog buku". tlg JANGAN jwb "tgk-subjek-dan-bagi-call-number". kalo bg jwpn cmni, npk cm adik2 x amik kesah psl proses yg lgkp.

 

tak berfikir secara kreatif

kebanyakan interviewer akn ty soalan psl KELEMAHAN/KEKURANGAN diri adik2. sila la jd creative sket...bg kelemahan yg xbrp lemah sgt. sila la buat research utk pkir kaedah terbaik jwb soalan ni. tp, tlg la jgn jwb "i like to talk. difficult for me to control my talk-active. so, it's my weakness" (ini jwpn real punya ehh.... ayt dia mmg lbh kurg mcm ni). bila adik2 bg contoh "suka berckp" (talkative) sbgi kelemahan/kekurangan yg ada pd diri, i yg jd interviewer akn ada rs risau dh. i akn pkir samaada i mampu x nk lyn adik2 yg suka berckp ni. kalaupun mmg real sungguh la adik2 suka berckp, sila bg cnth positif yg ada pd kekurangan adik2 tu. mungkin leh ckp yg "walaupn saya ni talkative, tp kekurgn saya tu ada kebaikannya. saya boleh jd org yg pndi nk negotiate". itu contoh yg xbrp creative gk.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------

 

bila kuar kt seantero dunia yg job offering berlambak tp xde candidate yg sesuai, mmg itulah fact yg kita kna accept. i py mindset b4 d intrvw session was "these r fresh grad/org yg br krja xsmpi 5 years. so, jgn ltk expectation tinggi melangit". even with that mindset, campur dgn i dh turunkn graf  expectation i, stil jugak blom jmp candidate yg btul2 sesuai utk isi d available posts. we're still hoping. hoping for d best fit.

 

**intrvw candidate utk calon suami/isteri? hahahaha...mungkin tak sesusah ini....mungkin...

 

~ my Merdeka story ~

masa kecik2 parents I pnah bw g tgk perarakan Hari Merdeka kt Dataran Merdeka. terpacak la menyelit terjengket2 nk nengok marching punya pasal. menda yg I look forward sgt utk tgk is abang2 askar (sekarang mungkin dh status pakcik2) pegang senapang. ms tu tau senapang je... xtau pn nama glamer M16 tu. kalo lalu band skolah or band askar lk cm nk pecah la gegendang telinga kejap. tp sbb suka tgk punya psl, x kesah dh bunyi bingit pn. kalo dongak kt langit lk, ada show yg jet askar berpusing2, lpstu kuar asap kaler merah, biru, kuning, ijau. tu pn bingit gk, tp lg bingit band askar or band skolah la.

 

suka gk tgk wakil ofis2 pki baju aneh2 & marching beramai2. lpstu sebok tgk ofis mna yg pki baju paling cntk, paling bling2, paling aneh... sll interested nk tgk baju team Telekom sbb ehem... mcm astronaut hehehe...baju kaler silver2, lpstu cm ada pencawang apa segala tu. rsnye plg kurg ada la 2 kali kot my parents bw my sister & I g tgk perarakan Hari Merdeka... tu yg I igt la.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

masuk skolah menengah;

 

masa Form 4 ada patriotik terlebih sket. team kadet laut from our school dpt buat performance utk Hari Merdeka peringkat negeri. kitrg je bdk2 pompn, combined effort dgn bdk2 laki from 2 skolah lg. kalo nk g prektis on weekdays kna g prep lg awl dr student len cz pukul 4 cmtu dh start prektis, smpi la kul 6lbh. on weekends, prektis pagi smpi ke tghr. break jp tghari & smbg blk ptg. everyday dlm sebln lbh b4 Hari Merdeka training schedule cmtu, sungguh disiplin yg amat. kulit pn jd 8 tona lbh gelap dr kaler asal, hahahaha... phm2 jelah.

 

1st day training, lari seround padang skolah. sambil lari, mata dok focus kt bdk2 laki prektis pgg senapang. eh ehemmm... M16 (ms ni la br tau menda ni dipggl M16). npk cm xla berat mna pn. tp bila smpi ms each of us girls dpt M16 masing2, br la tau... berat rupanye =( sebln lebih training angkat M16 everyday, sggh membina otot. lps abis Hari Merdeka, trus lengan longgar semula. hadoiii!

 

we did kawad senyap... nma mcm simple je, tp sbnrnye it's not that simple. we had to memorize lpsni buat step apa, lpsni jln kt mana, lpsni  berdiri seblh siapa, brp kali nk kira, etc. nk tgk cnth performance, can click video below ye.

p/s: dh start rehearsal for Hari Merdeka. areas involved for the rehearsal & the actual parade sure jammed.

 

~ say what u feel ~

i saw and heard this while watching tv - "say what u feel". it's a good point there, but i'm not one of those who can easily say what i feel. utk menda2 berkaitan personal, often times d things that i would like to say just remain in my head, berlegar2 di minda, bermonolog sorang2... yes, that's usually me.

 

i've read it many2 times already, the gurus strongly suggest people (like me) to just say it. kalau x cakap, people will not know how u feel. ko depress, ko simpan sorg2 dlm ati. ko suka kt someone siap blushing2 pipi kalo berselisih, ko simpan sorg2 dlm ati. ko geram kt org, ko simpan dlm ati. ko rs annoyed kt org, ko simpan dlm ati. ko rs nk audition utk jd pengacara tv/radio, ko simpan dlm ati. am speaking for myself (tak tahu if org lain share d same idea), sometimes menda yg i rasa tu adalah perasaan2 negative yg xbest.... yg kalau dickpkn, akn buat org len marah/kecik ati/tension/geram smpi rs nk luku kt i. so, baek la diamkan aje (walaupn sllnye memakan diri sndiri cz sendiri yg skt ati balik). dlm cnth kes lain pulak, if i mmg marah/kecik ati/tension/geram smpi rs nk luku someone, sudah tentunya my tone akn naik secara mendadak if i don't control what comes out from my mouth based on what i feel. if xde org provoke, usually i just remain cm xde apa2 berlaku. tp if dh kna provoke sgt, hmmm... mgkn ayt2 sarcastic yg tidak menyenangkn hati akn kuar cm lava gunung berapi dr mulut ni. u wouldn't like me nnt, hehehehe.

 

itu berckp tentang what u feel secara verbal. kalo berckp in writing, mcm cnthnye tulis blog ni, hehehehe... kira ni pn konsep say what u feel gk. tp dlm bentuk tulisan.

 

when i read comments made by the public for any posts/news (kesah gossip ke, gmbr ke, etc2), kdg2 feel like "how can they write these comments here?". kalo comment secara membina, i ok lg. tp ada tu dh jd ala2 perang tulis2 dh kt ruang comment tu. yg mana de tulis yg emo sgt, mmg xsggp bc. kalo news psl artis, lagiiii.... reader A kutuk that artis, reader B kutuk reader A cz kutuk artis feveret dia, reader C sokg reader B, reader D kutuk A B and C.... and the process continues. bila dh jd kutuk2 in public cmtu, i just stop cz i don't feel it's something that i can stand to read further.

 

the same goes with the interaction/communication in facebook/twitter/youtube cnthnye. someone creates a twitter account to share anything with friends/fans/families/public. tp sudahnye jd port utk mengutuk/gaduh sesama sendiri pulak dh. sad to say, org len yg xde kait mengait tp membaca d posts will simply take side kt sesapa yg dia suka. and the cycle goes on and on. pdhal sebnrnye xtau pn sape yg say the right things and who is saying otherwise. yg pstinye, masing2 with the idea that they are free to say what they feel.

 

i know that akn ada suara2 yg ckp "kalo ko xsuka, xyah bc. diorg tulis pe yg diorg rs, nothing related dgn ko pn". mmg x related dgn i. dats d reason why i avoid reading those comments/remarks or following anything. to me it's just ridiculous that the remarks/comments section can cause gaduh among the readers/viewers.

 

as for verbally saying what i feel, let's just say i am those yg sllnye monolog sorg2 dlm kpale je sbb i pkir "terlajak perahu boleh diundur, terlajak kata buruk padahnye". tp "air yg tenang, jgn sangka takde buaya". muahahaha... takut kah? =) 

 

peace y'all....

 

p/s: kalo menggedik tersuka someone pn, mmg disimpan di dlm hati jelah, huhuhuhu.

hoping that d current situation will get better... soon.

 

.take care.

 

~ it's now 4+1 ~

assalamualaikum...hai... ye, tetiba i mengupdet blog. tetiba TERada mcm2 mnda nk tulis, though mostly menda yg nk ditulis adalah crap. haihh.

 

ok, i've been wanting to update but then tired-ness & busy-ness & malas-ness are always a trio. those r d reasons why i keep on delaying to mention that my sister (d 1 and only sister) just got married. yeah, today dh 19-days dia official menjadi isteri org (semoga dipnjgkn jodohnya, amiiiiinnn).

 

people have been asking me how is it like to have a brother-in-law now. jwpnnye mudah, "BEST". i'm happy that my sister finds her other half, walaupun dlm hati sanubari de rs lost sket. yelah, dh tu je d only sibling that i have. bila dia dh kawen, of course la rs lost cz skrg she has to divide her time for 2 families. tp brother-in-law's house is just 10-minutes driving from ours, so takyah ngade nk rs lost sgt la heh.

 

at home, we r always (most of d times) shorthanded dgn tenaga lelaki cz there's only my dad, d only man dlm umah ni. nk hrpkn d 3-ladies in d house (me, my sister & my mom), hmmmph. my mom dh mencecah umur warga emas (u won't believe it), my sister mmg sntiasa bersemangat excited nk buat mcm2. i mmg dikenali umum sbgi lembik kt opis, kalo kt umah apatah lg. i hv to admit, there are tasks yg kalo pompn yg buat will take hours to complete. tp kalo dgn tenaga lelaki, d same task ends a lot sooner. so bila dh ada brother-in-law, rs la yg ada extra help that we can rely on. tp idok le smpi thp nk vacuum karpet pn nk srh abg ipar yg buat, tu mmg la mengada tu.

 

it's nice to have additional member in our small family. dulu ber4, skrg dh 5. dulu my sister single, now she's a married woman. syukur to allah that He brings both of them together. may they have blissful life together as husband and wife. congratulations to my sister.
