Built This Way

Squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cause someday you're going to get hungry
And eat most of the words you just said

Both my parents taught me about good will
And I have done well by their names
Just the kindness I've lavished on strangers
Is more than I can explain
Still there's many who've turned out their porch lights
Just so I would think they were not home
And hid in the dark of their windows
Till I'd passed and left them alone

And god help you if you are an ugly girl
Course too pretty is also your doom
Cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
For the prettiest girl in the room
And god help you if you are a phoenix
And you dare to rise up from the ash
A thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
While you are just flying past

I'm not trying to give my life meaning
By demeaning you
And I would like to state for the record
I did everything that I could do
I'm not saying that I'm a saint
I just don't want to live that way
No, I will never be a saint
But I will always say

Squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cause someday you might find you're starving
And eating all of the words you said

Just Another Saturday Morning

2011-01-22T08:47:00.004+08:00

A usual Saturday morning, where people would either be jog in the park with their families or some would prefer curled up on their cozy bed *bliss* or some would wake up early just to enjoy a cup of kopi C, kaya/butter toast and half boiled ayam kampung eggs *drool* or maybe roti canai with teh tarik..hmmm,haven.

But then again, myself, Puan Jean and Amy are stucked at the office as we're on the election duty for DUN Tenang. Here I am, eating a plain peanut butter sandwich, while Amy is googling for latest news (or is she? oh, my bad, facebook rupanya) and Puan Jean trying to buy time watching Rachel Ray on channel 5. How fortunate it is that our office is next to Singapore. In fact, channel 5 is way more clearer than our local tv.

I wonder what mom is doing home alone. We're stucked here for 8 hours and our duty will be called off at 4.00 p.m. Aiya...mo man tai! Afterall, I have millions of i.p to minute, 3 izins to prepare and 2 pardon board paper to complete. Hmmm...come to think of it, 8 hours is not enough. Hmm...maybe I should start now.

To you lucky people out there..enjoy your weekend!

The Trip On Saturday.

2011-01-17T14:29:00.003+08:00

Last Saturday myself and Amy brought mom to Taman Negara Tanjung Piai. With excitement, we plan to explore the Southern Tip of South East Asia! Throughout the journey, it was nothing but fun-fun and fun. Before reaching there, we stop at Muzium Nenas (Pineapple Museum), Pontian. But to our disappointment, the museum was closed for no particular reason. How rare it is for a museum to be closed on Saturday?? Anyway, with high hopes, we drove all the way til we reach Telok Kerang and we stop at Bugis Museum. There, we were a bit shocked to see that the so-called museum turns out to be a small building half gerai makan, half museum. But, since we're already there, we just step inside the tiny museum and check out what it's all about. Instead being in a museum, we found ourselves blast from the past. There's a lot of magazines/newspapers' cutting of the yester years. Photos of celebrities and royalties from the 60's to 70's. There are also a few articles on 'Natrah' and also some ceramic. It's like, every single antique (be it, articles or even jeweleries, coins, accessories.) everything is there. Sadly, it looks more like a dusty antique shop rather than a museum.

After the journey to the past, we headed to Kukup for lunch. Oh, the food was nothing but excellent. We had chillies crab, black pepper lala, friend squids, fried beansprout and a big bowl of vegetable soup. And the best part, it is so cheap...

Then, we went to our main destination i.e Taman Negara Tanjung Piai. Actually, this is my second attempt as the first one, myself and Amy arrived there at 6.45 p.m. So, we went back since it's too late to enter deep into the jungle. So, this time around, we made it there at about probably around 2.00 p.m. So, the three of us walked slowly towards the tip of South East Asia when suddenly we stumbled upon a group of monkeys. We were to deep inside and it is too late to turn back. We were numb instantly! The monkeys came towards us and Amy was so freaked out that she ran and stand behind me. The 'wild' monkeys suddenly became aggressive and as a result, Amy screamed out of fear. And because of that, they became excited and one of the monkey jumped across and landed right behind Amy. I had to calm her down and push her in front of me and told both mom and her to walk fast. Before leaving the spot, at a glance, I saw the monkey was trying to hold me but we move so fast and dare not look back.

5 minutes later, we were so relieved to see people as we had reached the tip of South East Asia. We were so scared earlier and after taking few photos we waited for other people to go back first so that we were not alone. And alhamdulillah...we made it.

So, after that, we headed home. And the journey was okay throughout and we even stopped for fried fritters and cendol along the way. Haiya, come to think of it...I still feel chill when imagining the monkeys incident. Scaaary...

Picture From Yesterday

2011-01-09T11:28:00.003+08:00

This is before Jaja took Mardzia's veil..ya, it's that old.Hehehe

When Picture Speaks A Thousand Words

2011-01-09T10:39:00.017+08:00

Episode 2 : S.I.S.T.E.R.H.O.O.D

If you notice, it's rare to see all 9 of us in one picture. Especially in a recent year where most of the girls are married, committed to other obligations and distance is not spared too. So, it is very hard to gather all 9 of us. There's always one or two person will be missing from the picture.

However, I managed to get pictures all 9 of us fitting in 1 frame. But it is mostly old photos. One is at law school..on Jaja's birthday. Another is at Am's house, Raya lunch I guess. And finally, a picture during my b'day celebration at Karaoke Shop somewhere in Klang. Before the 'Twillight' craze between Team Edward and Team Jacob...there was Team Jaja and I should not be mentioning name here, since the incident occurred way way back then.

Yesterday I received a call from Dod in regard of Naem's bridal shower. I am keeping my finger cross so that all 9 of us would be able to make it. The last reunion was during Am's baby shower and many flew down south to celebrate it. But this time around, I was told of the tentative, it will be held here in KL.It maybe hard to gather all 9, but at least a little effort won't hurt, right? After all, what are friends for.

When Pictures Speak A Thousand Words

2011-01-09T03:04:00.019+08:00

Episode 1 : The Conference

This picture marks a humble beginning of my carrier as a DPP. Here, my batchmate and I had attended our first Prosecution Division's Conference back in 2006. At a glance, I'm pretty sure you may notice the fresh looks on each faces. The smile of a young junior officers, being starstrucked whilst trying very hard to cover the eagerness as we striked a pose with our former Head of Prosecution. Come to think of it, we were throbbing with energy back then.

After Langkawi, our next conference was held in Terengganu. Myself, Mardzia and Liza was given the honour to perform together with our new colleagues in ala 70's dance routine. Despite the embarassment, it was great! I enjoyed every bit of it. But, sorry..I can't find the pic. Next time perhaps.

Anyway, a couple of years after the first conference, we were given the responsibility to assist our seniors in holding the biggest and sadly, the final conference. I remember all the hard work we had to do. All the troubles, problems that we had to face. But, by the end of the day, it's all worth it. I was able to trace this picture from my bro's pc. This is when the 4 of us, including Budiman (whom later flew to Japan and left me with all the chores..thank you sir!), first surveyed the venue. (Gosh, I was thin then..damn)

However, I was indeed very fortunate to have a good bunch of AJKS whom had given nothing but their best. (Yes, Intan, Amy and the rest I may had forgotten to mention, my apologies, but you guys rock the programme unit!)The left hand side picture shows Intan tired face while Mardzia and Amy (kurus!) melawa.

After that I remember the classes, seminars, makan-makan and the grand dinner. But above all, I remember the most...having a good time of my life with my dearest buddies. Dirty Bit! (And yes, buddies does not includes the less important people in my life..heh)

Out of bound

2010-09-14T13:09:00.000+08:00

How was your Eid Celebration? Mine was sucks *lol*. Regardless, I am still counting my blessings.

This is a picture taken somewhere in Jun or July. This picture was taken right after Dr. Azma gave her statement in the court. She's a forensic doctor specialised in odontology. Creepy as it sound, she took the sample out of a dead body, yet to me, she is very brave indeed. In this picture is our very much reliable I.O - ASP Merbin, Dr.Azma herself, Tuan Umar and yours truly, while the shot was photographed by Amy.

Right now I'm supposed to prepare for my PPK (shuxs). As I was checking my mails, this picture surface and what the heck, I just upload it in my blog then. Oh ya, raya picture belum upload. Later la.

Eid ul-Fitr!

2010-09-09T13:42:00.004+08:00

'Esok Hari Raya!'
As most muslims are looking forward to celebrate this auspicious day.Well, frankly, am not so excited. The reason behind it?
Despite the family friction, I've received my PPK questions...aiyah.
Again, deja vu as it may be, I'll be sitting for my PPK exam a week after Raya. So, there goes "jolly good time".

Secondly, I have no baju raya. Envious with my fellow fren, antaranya Jas who seems to be unable to make up her mind whether to wear which baju raya out of 3 choices that she has..(hahaha) and the fact that my other fren's young ones/babies pun have their own baju raya...while I have none! Too late to shop la (malas is more like it)

But then again, I'm in Penang! The best part of it, break fast time is sooo nice. So farewell ayam penyet, pecal lele, briyani gam etc...for now. 2 weeks of holiday in Penang? I should be happy...but somehow PPK is bugging me. Amy is kind enough to lend me her netbook for me to do some research. Couldn't thank her much.

Anyway, Happy Eid to all!

Independence Day

2010-08-31T10:35:00.002+08:00

As Eid is approaching, there's a lot of things to be done. And one of it, 'balik kampung' preparation. So, first thing first, 'cuci' my car. Service it thoroughly. Clean it in and out, esp the leather seats which need to be groom. 'Samak' here and there and 'samak' all over. And the result...'suci' finally. Then only it would be proper to ride with my loved ones.

Anyway, its Independence Day!So, what have we achieved so far? What do you understand by the notion of 1 Malaysia? A current slogan by the Prime Minister. With all due respect, I am nothing but confuse. Does it mean 1 nation, 1 country and 1 race? If so, then how come we are still multi racial? I'm pretty sure we're not gonna be like Indonesia or Thailand in that sense. I believe the other races are not ready to give up on their 'sekolah jenis kebangsaan' etc for the sake of being 1 Malaysia. Or...maybe its simpler, it is unity among the races. I agree with Tun Mahathir when he said that only our Prime Minister could clarify and explain the true meaning of 1 Malaysia so it would be clearer and comprehend by our fellow Malaysian. I have a strong understanding that 1 Malaysia is still in line with the Federal Constitution. The living legend Prof. Emeritus Khoo Kay Khim acknowledged the unquestionable constitution of Malaysia. Somehow, some leaders are very bold enough to question on the constitution, indirect, yet obvious. For example on the Malays students right to education (the privilege to be exact), a certain individual had demanded a list of Malay students name that has been selected to study abroad. And the reason use, he/she manipulated the 1 Malaysia notion. Saying that, other races too has the right to study abroad on government scholarship. How sad.

As a concern citizen who loves this country, I am of the opinion that it would be best for us to guard what is ours and respect each other rights.

Happy Independence Day fellow Malaysian!

Hello?

2010-06-27T12:56:00.003+08:00

Hello, hello!

Sudah lama, saya tau...heh

So, it's so good to be back in my hometown (as always). While waiting to meet up Thamei, I decided to drop by and blog one or two tentative of my life so far.

For the past few months, life has been nothing but a roller coaster ride.

Fast rewind a few days back, I went for a course together with Amy and my dearest Ketim. Its sooo nice to meet her after half a year. And what a pleasant surprised that Ez had joined us too. So, as usual, we meet up Puan Raja and had so-called "kulliyah subuh" that all 4 of us became a zombie the next day. Regardless, we had fun! Girls, I'll post the picture. Its just that, the camera is not with me at the moment.

Then, coming back to the office with a brand new environment. Oh yes, the new officers has been transferred and there's 7 of them altogether. They look so innocent. But I know they gonna do well. This time around they send male officers, and yes they are all from UiTM (heh).

So, before coming back to Penang, Amy had received a very sad news. Her opah had passed away and my condolence to her and her family.

Well, I do not know what had happened but all of a sudden I had acne attack! I stop using the expensive facial cleanser and what not, instead, back to basic, I'm using the powerful traditional "bedak sejuk". Owh, we'll see how...

Ode To My Friend

2010-04-19T23:33:00.003+08:00

It is always a sad news to know that you had lost someone.
And it is even sad when its obviously deep down you realise that it is such a big lost.

But I thank God for the chance given to me to get to know her.
Grateful I am to God for the opportunity given...
To have her as my guru, a great senior and how I always admire her being a genius yet very modest at all time.
I had always admire her.

Now, although she had departed from this crazy world we're living, I pray that she will be taken good care of in the world after.

I dedicate this to my dearest senior, colleague, sister and a friend of mine...
Puan Maziah binti Abu.

May Allah bless her beautiful soul.

Fever Season

2010-03-29T11:31:00.004+08:00

So I was down with fever for almost 2 weeks. After twice visiting the same clinic, and was given two different type of so-called 'strong' antibiotic...still, I was not fit enough for work. The problem is, it became worse while I was coughing and down with fever, plus running nose, I had to give a talk at the Immigration Department. So my two sidekicks followed me. And I must say, with my 'condition', I managed to give a talk which lasted for 2 hours! I pitied the audiences, amounting to 200 officers altogether whom I might had spread my flu and fever to them...he he he.

After the talk, I became even weaker, thanks to the airconditioning system at the Immigration office and the session court which I attended a day earlier. This time around, it really knocked me down.

Finally, after almost 2 weeks of ill, my parents and brother came down from KL (so sweet of them) and the best part is that, mom stayed! yey! And I was then forced to the Hospital, where I did my thorough check up. Ambil darah and x-ray. Was a bit nervous tho since it was my the first time my vein poked for the blood extraction procedure. But I was suprised that it was nothing. The nurse did a well done job. After checking, I complaint bout my body condition, I tend to loose weight, altho I eat a lot. So, again, they need to extract my blood, this time, its for thyroid check up. And how unfortunate that the nurses went off, leaving me with a bunch of medical students from Monash University, doing their practical. And I am the experiment...sigh. But, it was okay...it went well. I was about to congratulate the young student, but then again, I saved her from the embarassment.

So, the result for thyroid will only be released in 2 weeks time *finger crossed* And oh yeah, I've recovered since then from my flu and fever. A little of coughing here and there. Should be okay la...

Risk Taker

2010-02-24T10:39:00.003+08:00

I have always look up on people who dare to take the risk,
Be it, venturing into business, setting up a legal firm, unit trust...just name it!
At a very young age, they are able to enjoy the fruit of their labour.

There are a few of my friends who are now living the luxurious life, driving the latest Mercedes, BMW, using upgraded gadgets etc...
And some, I would say, having the privillege of living a better life. Which is more than enough.

Oh ya, my old friend, Kak Su and her hubby, currently in a process of opening their own restaurant. It is named ' Warisan Tok Aji' at Jalan Kebudayaan 1,Taman University, Skudai. It is located next to Bank Rakyat and near to Ani Sup Utara Restaurant (quite a competition huh). So far, I was informed that they sell 'nasik lauk' during lunch to cater majority of the students there. I've tasted their cooking before, at a different shop own by her mother in law,its nice and reasonable. So friends, perhaps we could support our Kak Su in her effort of embarking into business? (kak, komisen eh)

Later I'm gonna rush from my workplace to the new shop to help her out...

Seronok rasa bila kawan-kawan berjaya.

Opposites Attracts Me.

2010-02-09T15:48:00.003+08:00

I bet the craze is on for those who enjoys watching current slapstick comedy. After strings of slapstick humours series (Scrubs, My Name is Earl, 30 Rocks) and currently, yes, I am crowning 'Glee' as the Royalty of Slapstick Comedy for its teenage spirit, full of vibrant and rollercoaster emotions plus idiocy humour (that's mouthfull). I bet each and everyone would enjoy it, like I do.

After a marathon of 'Glee', I then watched a more serious kinda movie at HBO yesterday. A remarkable role played by Kate Winslet, that had won her an Oscar for a leading role as Hanna Schmitz, 35, whom had a passionate affair with a boy aged 15 years old,Michael, back in the late of 1950. Fast forward, the boy enrolled in a German University, as a law student, he followed his professor to a court proceeding, where a trial was held over war criminals during the Holocaust, and Hanna was one of the defendant.

While she served her time, he thinks of her every single day, without fail.

Until the very end of it, the love lives on...

The movie really capture and rapture my heart.

It describes 'love' in a more complicated way somehow.

I must say that it is a different kind of a Romeo and Juliet's version, only with the same result.

That's what I would comment about 'The Reader'.

So do watch 'Glee' and 'The Reader', especially.

Later.

Fate?

2010-01-16T02:40:00.003+08:00

I remember the other day watching MJ's 'This Is It'.
I bet those who watched it shares the same emotions as what I felt...(or maybe not). I have nothing but sympathy towards him. Judging from the short-documentary, I guess he didn't see it coming. After all, his death is categorised as 'homicide' right?

He was 300% prepared for the concert. He was determined to make it his final tour and perhaps bearing in mind to end it beautifully. As a matter of fact, he even scolded the crew for letting him sing his heart out when he was supposed to save up his voice for the event. And I'm glad that they let him sing. The only reason is that he sang my fave song...'I just can't stop loving you'. I had goosebumps...oh yeah, I really did.

The preparation was done thoroughly and he's nothing but a perfectionist. Although at times, a bit peculiar in his behaviour, yet who cares...after all, he's The King of Pop.

But, after walking out of the cinema, it hits me. I realized then, you may prepare your very best, give it all out...but by the end of the day, you have no idea how God had crafted your life accordingly. Its entirely based on fate. You may try very hard for things to go your way, but then again, there are times when all you can do is, inhale slowly, exhale as the air cleansed your soul...and succumb to your fate.

Its painful, one may say...

Oh yes...

I've said it before and I'm saying it again...God does work in a mysterious ways.

Reminiscing

2010-01-12T08:33:00.003+08:00

Why do we still hold on to the past?
As a lesson?
As a reminder?
Or simply to reminisce?

What if the past you thought of does not live there anymore?
That past had move on long before you could even blink your eyes...
Maybe you too have to learn to move along, which you had.
Or maybe you thought you had.

But then again, could you value the present without weighing with the past?
Maybe...
Maybe not.

But it is unfortunate if you are still living in the past...
So, walk down that memory lane once awhile, and move on.
Do not look back...never ever.

Adorable, aren't they?

2010-01-11T09:13:00.010+08:00

I just got back from a getaway in my effort to destress myself, and got to know that my dear Aniz just delivered a handsome baby boy. Congratulation Nijoh! I bet she's the happiest lady now that she's being surrounded by handsome boy and man (ehem...sorry,can't help it...min,ur still handsome...call me). On the left hand side, introducing, Arman Rais, born on the 9th of January 2010.

Its so beautiful to witness the miracle in daily life, especially from my closest friends. One after another. It started with Mia and Tariq , to Jas and Din's bundle of joy, then there's Jaja and Sharil beautiful Ayeesha, and also the rest of my former classmate...I believe they are now growing up and every single day without fail still and always will amaze their so-ever-exciting parents with their whiz perhaps a small gesture or even by throwing a simple naughty smile. Browsing Jas's blog, even I am amazed at how our lil Maiqel has developed a skill in negotiation. Well done! :)

I just can't help myself from stalking the latest addition to the human kind, out of my closest friend's contribution. So, here we go...

Azhad Bukharry (Ayu and Zul's handsome boy)

Our little Umar Iskandar could be the next F1 driver huh? Maybe he could attract our beautiful Alysha Charlene Gill enjoying her bubble bath there...
Irsa Hana (Bon and Zimah's baby girl). She has such a unique name. Irsa - Rainbow, Hana - My beloved = My beloved rainbow.

This is another therapy, perhaps, by looking at the cute photos of an innocent and pure heart, it would be able to set a better kind of mood. And yes, we are expecting from our dear Am...soon!

2010-01-04T10:52:00.004+08:00

Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart

Alicia Keys

Even if you are a million miles away
I could still feel you in my bed
Near me, touch me, feel me

And even at the bottom of the sea
I could still hear it inside my head
Telling me, touch me, feel me
And all the time, you were telling me lies

So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

Have you ever try sleeping with a broken heart?
Well you could try sleeping in my bed
Lonely, own me, nobody ever shut it down like you

You wore the crown, you made my body feel heaven bound
Why don't you hold me, need me
I thought you told me, you'd never leave me

Looking in the sky I could see your face
And I knew right where I fit in
Take me, make me, you know that I'll always be in love with you
Right till the end

So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight,I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

Anybody could've told you right from the start it's 'bout to fall apart
So rather than hold on to a broken dream or just hold on to love
And I could find a way to make it, don't hold on too tight
I'll make it without you tonight

So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

Cheezy Songs?

2009-12-18T09:09:00.007+08:00

Ever experience a situation when there's an echo of a cheezy song repeating in your head? For the past few days I kept humming this bloody 'jiwang' mat salleh song by plain white shirt (whatever the band name is) that 1,2,3,4 I love You...aiyo, I'm so annoyed.

The other day I had a light chat with my close yet far friends. Just to pass the time...this question arise;

"what is your breakup song that able to make you feeling extremely sentimental?"

I got all these Indonesian songs listed...from Ungu, Kerispatih yada yada yada.

Ira named John Legend and some of them has none (konon tak pernah frust la tu...yeah right, I'll keep you guys as anonymous.you know who you are tho). And as for me, my personal jiwang frust katak song is David Gray - This Year's Love. Yeah, yeah...that song is really jiwang frustrating one. And my all time evergreen lagu jatuh cinta in a fantasy lala land is Dreaming of You by Selena (i know, just sue me)

Suddenly, this cross my mind...ever heard of Tercipta Untukku by Ungu? I always find this song funny...coz I remembered being dedicated of the said song by 2 person. My sense quickly query the fact that..."so,aku tercipta untuk siapa ni?" (ouch)

Okayla...off to Penang now!

And that bloody theres only one thing two do three words four you is still in my head...haih!

Later

The Anne Frank Diary

2009-12-16T22:26:00.009+08:00

Ages it seems since the last update.

Apparently, I've been bogged down with work, my exciting and so-so life(so far)and yada yada yada. Opportunity to blog almost unachievable.Well...

Anyway,after my last trip to Amsterdam, I've been wanting to blog on this particular individual whom was able to shape and change the world long after the World War II. Unfortunately, although her message seems to penetrate the people's understanding on humanity, somehow, it lacking in practice. Yes, I'm talking about the one and only, Anne Frank.

Before going off to Amsterdam, I was well equipped with a novel, with the idea to occupy during the traveling period, however the impact upon me was more than just to pass the time. I got 'The Diary of a Young Girl' from my cousin Bu Jaja, an early Birthday gift. Actually, the novel is a diary-based, written by a Jewish girl, who went into hiding at her father's office (in an annex building) together with her family members comprises of her parents and her elder sister, the Ven Pels family and a dentist named Fritz Pfeffer. It all occurred after 1933 when Adolf Hitler came to power and declared an anti-Jewish regime.

So, they fled from Germany to Amsterdam and stayed in hiding for almost 2 years before they were caught and deported to Auscwitz, the holocaust camp for the Jews, it was a one way trip for sure. Obviously the ending was ugly. I would proposed the novel for your reading pleasure. I'm pretty sure you'll be amaze the fact that Anne Frank was a bright girl with wondrous ideas. In case you are keen to know further, you may visit www.annefrank.org

While in Amsterdam, I got the opportunity to visit the Anne Frank House. I can't imagine how she managed to stay in that particular annex for 2 years, with no fresh air, not being able to walk freely outside the house, the curtain must not be lifted at any time. Its crazy...I'll go mad for sure.

Coming back home, I am more than grateful with everything.

Somehow, its sad when people being treated in such way.
Regardless of your ethnicity, religion or skin colour.
But then again, the Nazis mistreated the Jews, and the Jewish Zionist are now mistreating the Palestinian.

Wonder why is it people never learn from their mistake...

2009-10-11T10:23:00.002+08:00

Dear Friends,
I'm off for quite some times.
Will be back very soon.
Just to inform that I left my mobile phone...
So...cheers!

Hectic Weekend

It has been a hectic weekend...so far.

So yesterday, we woke up early to make sure I'm able to get my bowl of hokkien noodle served hot at Bandar Baru Uda. There's a malay restaurant with a variety of delicious food. And I mean it when I said, delicious. The name of the restaurant is Serambi Uda, a corner lot house cum shop situated at Jalan Padi 3.

So, after done with breakfast we drove all the way to The Zone, but to no avail...we stop at Plaza Angsana and bought a pair of sneakers for the trip. My old Nike sneakers has worn out. Bought in 2005. I'm not a much of a shopper...so,usually I'll buy a good stuff and use it til the end of it. Coming home, there's a list of things to pack emailed by Puan Raja. Realising that there are some important item left out, so we drove all the way to Aeon Jusco at Tebrau to buy the thermal wear...(man,those thermal wear are also costly!) and bought some gloves, etc...and since my old jeans also worn out...i.e loose...so I had no choice but to get a new one....sigh.

Done with shopping...we rushed home, rest for awhile then we went to Kak Su's open house. Its soooo nice to meet her family members who drove all the way from Malacca. Its been ages since the last time I met her lovely parents, her jovial brother, her very pregnant both sister and sister in law...plus the nephew and nieces, whom the last time I saw, toddlers...now, the eldest has turned 6! How time flies...

Today, we woke up early and again I had my hokkien noodle (yummy) at BBU. Then we came back home and spring clean the house...tiring?Then Puan Raja rang us and been surveying for the transportation and accomodation from morning til 5.30pm...And what annoyed all 3 of us is the fact that we're unable to book the train ticket via online since Eurostar does not include Malaysia in their list of countries under the billing form....weird isn't it? Silly and weird is more like it. Huh!

Well...am off to rest...

A lot to be done esp the last minute preparation...

Later.

1 Malaysia?

2009-09-27T14:32:00.007+08:00

This entry of mine potrays how very emotional I am. Recently, I received an email from an old friend of mine. This email was forwarded by our fellow Malaysian whom does not know the history of Malaysia yet dare to question on the thing which is clearly he/she does not know.

The email entitled 'This Is Call "One Malaysia"??

Now explain why Bumi afford to have so many children

One or two Malaysia??

Being furious, I emailed this friend of mine telling him/her to please trace Malaysia history and read topic on 'Contract Social' before passing such comment.

To my suprise, I got a reply... "I dun understand wht u mean by contract social, can u explain to me~~~ im so sorry if i forward this mail to make u inconvenient~~~"

So? Here we go...

(Her full name),
Based on your last email, obviously you and those who forwarded it has misinterpreted the notion of 1 Malaysia. The definition of 1 Malaysia is 'unity' among all races priorly the bumiputra (malays, natives of sabah and sarawak as well as peninsular) and the non-bumis (chinese, indian and others). For 'unity' to stand, 'respect' must come along.

For your better understanding, I'll explain this briefly in Bahasa Melayu. Before I continue discussing the matter in hand, I would appreciate it if you could forward this to all your friends esp the one who started circulating this msg. This is the history of our beloved country.

Sebelum wujudnya 'Malaysia'...kita pernah dijajah beratus tahun lamanya oleh negara2 luar antaranya oleh British, Belanda, Jepun dan akhirnya British sebelum merdeka. British telah bahagikan tanah dan kuasa antara Belanda dan Sepanyol. British - Malaysia, Belanda - Indonesia dan Sepanyol - Filipina. Tanah asal ketiga2 negara ini dikenali sebagai 'kepulauan melayu' dan semenanjung malaysia kini dahulunya dikenali sebagai 'tanah semenanjung emas'. Kemudian dikenali sebagai 'Tanah Melayu'.

Sewaktu dalam pemerintahan British, imgran dari China dan India telah dibawa ke 'Tanah Melayu'. Kaum India bekerja di sektor pertanian khususnya sebagai penoreh di estate getah manakala kaum Cina bekerja sebagai pelombong tin, tukang bina bangunan etc.

Dan sebelum kemerdekaan, ekonomi Tanah Melayu dimonopoli oleh kaum Cina manakala kaum Melayu ketinggalan di kampung dan kaum India terpinggir di estate. Wujudnya ketidakstabilan dari segi sosial dan ekonomi, maka tiga wakil dari Melayu, Cina dan India telah berbincang dan bersetuju mendapatkan penyelesaian. Tunku Abdul Rahman - Melayu dan golongan peribumi, Tun Tan Cheng Lok - Cina dan Tun Sambathan - India.

Tunku kemudian membuat keputusan memohon kemerdekaan dari British dan perkara ini diterima baik oleh rakyat Tanah Melayu. Bagaimana dengan kaum India dan Cina? Mereka telah tinggal di Tanah Melayu dan tidak berhasrat untuk pulang ke negara asal. Di sini wujudnya 'kontrak sosial'.

Perjanjian yang dimeterai antara Tunku, Tun Tan Cheng Lok dan Tun Sambathan antaranya:
1. Bahasa Rasmi - Bahasa Melayu
2. Agama Rasmi - Agama Islam

Hak Keistimewaan bumiputera (melayu) dikekalkan iaitu :
1. Kuota dalam pendidikan, biasiswa dan jawatan dalam sektor awam (kerajaan)
2. Tanah Rezab
3. Ekonomi

Sebagai pulangan?Kaum Cina dan India diberi 'kerakyatan' dan keturunan mereka mendapat kerakyatan secara 'jus soli' iaitu tanpa perlu memohon dalam setiap kelahiran.
-bebas mengamalkan agama asal, budaya.

'Kontrak sosial' ini telah dipersetujui oleh wakil dari setiap bangsa dan kandungan 'kontrak sosial' ini secara tidak langsung telah dimasukkan ke dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan, yang menjadi undang-undang/panduan negara.

1 Malaysia bukanlah bermaksud sama rata mahupun hak rakyat yang sama(equality). Hak istimewa golongan bumiputera kekal selamanya seperti juga hak kerakyatan pada keturunan asal Cina dan India yang datang ke Tanah Melayu 50 tahun yang lalu.

So please understand the history and do respect our fellow Malaysian.

With Regards,
Farah Ezlin Yusop Khan

I wonder if later she or 'her friends' gonna reply ... "I'm sorry, I don't understand in BM maa"

Happy Eid?

Secondly, I heard the sad news that a new DPP met with an accident and she had passed away...Al-Fatihah...didn't get the chance to know her tho.

Thirdly, I had a peace of mind while I'm in Penang. To view the Penang Island from Bagan Ajam at night...and suddenly suprised by a few sparks of fireworks...its such a breathtaking...nothing could beat that...nothing! *bersemangatnya*

Fourthly,feeling devastated to leave my homestate and the fact that I had a rough journey on the Fire Fly...eurghhh...the agony!As if I left my heart back in Butterworth...

Fifth,the joy of meeting my relatives back in Penang and in PJ...

Enam already?
Oh yes, to be able to meet and hang out with Kak Alin and Intan...we had a GREAT laugh! I miss them so very much!
Then today had spend almost half of the day at Putrajaya again (tak sangka lepak office during festive season is nice...serene surrounding) with Amy and of course the cooolest senior ever...Puan Raja...she's a malay ya...Raja Rozela...*saje je*
It was such a blast! Really miss her la. Can't wait for the holiday!

T.A.T

2009-09-16T00:05:00.008+08:00

I just can't wait to go back to my home sweet home...Telok Air Tawar (yes,laugh Fara and Ayu!Jas, u better be by my side on this). Its a known fact among my friends that I'm originally from Telok Air Tawar. It is situated in Butterworth, Penang, near the Tentera Udara Di Raja Malaysia's air based (TUDM) and also next to the Royal Australia Air Force (RAAF). Yes, it is not on the Island.

I've always wanted to write about my homestate...just never had the chance to do so...until now.

Well, Telok Air Tawar is a mixture of different class of people. Those who stays at the taman perumahan-housing estate, are mostly from an educated family background. Ranging from the civil servant (teachers) to the professionals such as lawyers, doctors, bankers etc and even businessman whilst those who stays in kampung, most of their parents work as farmer, fisherman etc. Thus, in a classroom, students from different background study together. What separate us is none other than education perceived.

Fast rewind in 1999. My alma mater is Telok Air Tawar Secondary School, Butterworth (yes, it is situated in the mainland) and I still remember clearly the sitting arrangement in my classroom. I sat between Hong Ling, who was in front of me, while Raudah was located at the back. The nosy yet angelic super-caring Hong Ling (acting like a big sister) always scold me whenever I start to talk endlessly and each time when I was too lazy to do any task given by teachers. Her fave word was "kamu jangan berfoya-foya" ... while Raudah (the devilish-my chat buddy) would always entertain me from the early morning until the last bell.

Despite the 2 contradict characters, my besties were next door, the 2 crazy imperfect school prefects...who always misused their privilege and together we would skipped classes at every opportunity. They are none other than Thamei and Aneetha. We would always skipped class and hang out at the 'Pembimbing Rakan Sebaya office'...since I was the President...so, faham2 la.

Well, back to my old classroom, my sit was next to the window, viewing the green field. There, standing proudly a small tree, which I, without fail, at least once a day gazed at it thru the window (ignoring the teachers and of course, the knowledge trying to deliver to me) and anticipated in a 'daydream' routine *missing those days!*

Back then, I remember how I wish I could escape and leave all these behind. I just can't wait to get out from my hometown and explore new city, new life. My mind would always wonder...what is there beyond all these?what awaits me? I knew it then, that I won't find it there. So, I was nothing but determine...to leave the school...and to leave Butterworth.

After 9 years of living in Shah Alam - Subang...and currently in Johor Bahru (6 months now)...I started to appreciate my old sweet Telok Air Tawar (in Butterworth, the mainland of course). And the journey from JB to TAT sounds dreadful...extremely hectic and tiring yet for what is worth...I just can't wait! Can't wait to drive by the beach...lepak at the sea side...meeting my dearest crazy cousins, my uncle and aunt, dearest Thamei...Kunur, Razak and others!

Well, time flies...but one thing for sure...TAT will always be close to my heart. Walaupun masih belum ada McD or KFC there (do something Duan!please...) and the fact that nama TAT is very lousy...darn. It doesn't matter!If you noticed, i repeatedly reminding that TAT is in the mainland simply because, those who come from the mainland are considered second class by the Penangites *Ouch* What to do, we are a bit laid back and undeveloped compared to Penang Island...right Puan Mel?Kan Amril? Are we?

Anyway, am keeping my fingers crossed...cepatlah 18hb...can't wait to go back North!

Well, take care people.
Safe journey and Eid Ramadhan!

Malaysia - Indonesia Confrontation

2009-09-12T10:48:00.008+08:00

We were accused of being a cultural thief. An undeclared war arises over the accussation by the neighbouring country that Malaysia stole and potrayed their culture, a dance namely 'pendet' as ours. Which, was done by the Discovery Channel and this matter had resolved and excluded Malaysia as being the responsible party. I guess its just not enough to satisfy the minority group in Indonesia who called themselves as 'Benteng Demokrasi Rakyat' (Bendera) who had launched a mission to 'sapu' our fellow Malaysian in Indonesia (roughly bout a few thousands medical students there). Worse, this self-proclaimed nationalist group blocked a few roads and asked for the passerby to show their identity card/passport. If you are found to be a Malaysian, the probability of being stabbed is high as they were well equipped with a 'sharpened bamboo stick'.

Over the years we've been a good neighbour. Providing aid for almost every unfortunate events occurred, either via natural disaster or the man-made burning of the forest. The once paralysed Acheh Province, an aftermath left by the disasterous Tsunami...do we have to remind this minority ungrateful 'Bendera' how we had contributed in rebuilding the province from scratch? The assistance was sent as soon as possible(even back in my hometown, at that particular time, the completion of houses for the Tsunami's victims took ages!) The reason I'm digging all these facts? To show-off? To remind the 'Bendera'? Yes...and also, because I believe we do what we have to do, not because we have to, but simply because its the right thing to do.

It doesn't stop there, now they are demanding RM800 per month for the maid's salary. I must say, the maids provided by the Indonesian to our country are not of the same quality as those sent to Singapore, Hong Kong and god knows where. Yet a salary of that sum is their latest demand.

Dear Indonesian maids, don't you know that even some Malaysian civil servants are still earning RM 500 as their basic income?

There are currently 2 million of Indonesian here (i'm not sure whether this figure includes the illegal immigrants).Most of the small businesses in Malaysia are now controlled by them. Well,I'm not suprised if soon they will claim Malaysia as their homeland...

Who knows...Wallahualam.

The Full Moon

2009-09-05T00:07:00.010+08:00

First of all,this entry has nothing to do with Stephanie Meyer's novel cum box office movie (am not a fan of Twilight's series...no offence). Anyway, today is the 14th day of fasting. So when you look up high in the open sky, do expect to witness a beautiful round bright full moon. Its a breathtaking scenery I must say. Even prettier when stars scattered all over the open space. (somehow, the stars seems to dissapear year after year...pollution?maybe)

In the yester years, whenever there's full moon, my mind would wonder that somewhere there will be dogs barking and people turning into werewolves. Silly as it sound, somehow, the 'full moon' does affects the human behaviour. Be it from the rising of the crime rates to the rising of the suicide cases and even matters involving personal character for example sleep walking disturbance and mental disorder cases. However, studies in regard of the link between the full moon and how it affects the human behaviour fails in proving the truth. I remembered reading Paolo Coelho's 'Veronica Decides To Die' when the heroine had decided to end her life during the full moon phase and ended up in a mental institution. Perhaps the author did some research on this issue at hand. I would recommend this novel but with a friendly warning...its catchy yet disturbed.

So, could it be that for all the negatives human's conduct, the blame is on the lunar effects i.e the 'full moon'? OR its just another reason the human trying to hide from revealing the bad characters possessed by one? But then again, one should learn to comprehend the flow of Earth's energy (including the moon and space beyond) and how to apply in a positive manner. Maybe by thinking of your love one while gazing at the moonlight? (reminds me of Yuna's Dan Sebenarnya)

Owh what the heck...its human nature to blame it on others. Even the famous Milli 'lips sync' Vanilli agreed to this and came out with the hit 'Blame It On The Rain'

All I know is that, we're fortunate to be in a fasting month during the 'full moon'... So see, hear and speak no evil... and enjoy the beautiful scenery that the 'full moon' has to offer.

Cheating Death

2009-08-30T13:52:00.007+08:00

A sudden and saddened news on the death of DJ A.M. filled yahoo web page yesterday. Ever heard of him? A very talented DJ in Hollywood whom, a year ago had survived a plane crashed together with the drummer (former Blink 182 band member) Travis Barker.

The thing that caught my mind is that, is it considered as 'cheating death'?

What is 'cheating death'? Can one get away from it or just prolong the time of the death?It has been narrated in a profoundly acclaimed movie i.e "Final Destination"(Eerie I know). In that movie, a group of people able to avoid possible fatal event yet the responsible Grim Reaper denied their adjournment and find ways hunting each one of them. But to make it more 'Hollywood material', they add some storyline to it...the whole story kicked off from a premonition...*yawn*

In medical field, cheating death is not spared. For example a cancer person cured without going for chemotheraphy. Possible? One might ask, what about the famous rapper 50 cent who was shot 9 times yet survived? Perhaps the shooter an amateur missed the vital part? Or its just his luck?(God knows).

Could it be true? Regardless of the movie magic, does it actually work that way? You are save for today...but it hunts you...or would death just waived and skipped your turn? Maybe...But as for me being a muslim, I believe in Al-Qada wal-Qadar...(destiny by God's decree)

Well, there are series of unexplainable events. Somehow, DJ A.M's death does trigger the notion of 'cheating death'...whether it was meant to be or the fatal event was entirely due to his foolishness (drug overdose death). Now that would be a mystery.

For all I know, if I were able to cheat death...and survived. I would definately celebrate life...to the fullest.

Agree?

To The Ghost of My Past

I've told you once...
I can't be your friend.
Do understand and asked no more.

Gravity by Sara Bareilles

2009-08-22T01:47:00.004+08:00

Something always bring me back to you
It never takes too long
No matter what I say or do, I still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone

You hold me without touch
You keep me without chains
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain

Chorus
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile
When I thought that I was strong
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strenght is gone

Chorus
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me

I live here on my knees as I
Try to make you see that you're
Everything I think I need here on the ground
But you're neither friend nor foe though I
Can't seem to let you go

The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
You're keeping me down...

Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long

Off to Subang!

2009-08-14T14:40:00.004+08:00

Last weekend went for a movie and I would definately recommend The Proposal for your viewing pleasure. The storyline is simple, fun as Sandra Bullock (dah tua fave actress aku ni) colours all the scenes with the help of another funny man i.e Ryan Reynolds. Not even 1 scene that bore me. I kept on laughing from the beginning til the end.(Contrary to what Daud had experienced...I guess its true when he said it's 'a chick flick')Instead he suggested yourstruly to watch Setem. I read Am's entry and she gave a good review of the movie as well. I'm a bit sceptical with Malay's movie. No offence. I bet they will show Setem this Raya? Or maybe via Astro Box Office first,then perhaps view it at channel 104-Ria? Definately, maybe...

Anyway, am off to Subang today right after work. There's a trial this Monday at Tangkak. God knows how far Tangkak from JB is. So since its fixed on Monday, I've decided might as well I push off from USJ instead. Oh ya, went to Muar last Tuesday. It is such a nice small town. Somehow, it is similar to Ipoh. There are certain area reminds me of Kuching (the market site facing the river) and certain location similar to Kuala Kangsar (owh, I missed the pasar pagi at K.K especially the big thick fat murtabak, delicious hot pau and the morning scenery there...where apek would lepak by the riverside. It is the ideal pension town). Did I mention that there's a river in Muar? Beautiful. No wonder Bon and Wirna loves staying there. By the way, the Mee Bandung...owh dear...mouthwatering...haven!

So tonight am gonna drop by at Jonker Walk/Street for a bowl of prawn mee and cendol. Well,nothing fabulous bout the cendol tho. The best cendol would be the one in front of Sekolah Menengah Dato' Onn, Butterworth. Tapi dah tutup and moved to Selayang. Next best cendol would be the one at Penang Road. That one is still operating. They have a franchaise at Giant Section 13 (I dunno they still have it now)

I'm still having a mild fever that turns my voice to a husky one. What to do...
Later.

William Cowper an English poet who lived in the year of 1731 til 1800 had understood the notion and felt the pain of being apart from the loved one. And realised the bitterness to rely on a shattered hope. The quotation is a self-explainatory. What more can I say...

Farewell

2009-08-03T14:26:00.007+08:00

Its unfortunate that I didn't get the chance to meet this wonderful lady in person. The nation was shocked after learning that Yasmin Ahmad had passed away on the 25th of July 2009.

It is undeniable her work had touches many hearts, mine is not spared. It started from 'Rabun', a short movie based on the beautiful life of her parents until the recent hit 'Talentime' and numerous commercials that won awards and appraised by many. Known for her simple yet inspiring work, she had opened many minds to comprehend the true meaning of unity in this multiracial country we are living. I guess its not too much for me to say that she was amongst the first to come up with the idea of 1 Malaysia.

Mom read an article from The Star paper tells the story from her parents's point of view. They praised highly and proudly of their late daughter. It touch me, the fact that she would call her mother every single day without failing regardless of her busy schedule and always on the move just to ask her 3 questions "buat apa? sihat? are you happy?"

The article elaborate further as she was very concerned bout her parent's happiness and even warned other siblings to ensure none of them dare to hurt their mother and father. Yet, the part that touch me deeply as my mom told me that in the article, her mother told the writer that Yasmin wanted to look after her mother until her mother's last breathe. She wanted to be the one to be there and managed the day her mother leave this world, somehow, she had passed away before the mother...

No doubt a responsible daughter she was.

A lost to the industry...she shall be missed.

1 July 1958 - 25 July 2009

Al-fatihah to Yasmin Ahmad.

Java Raaga

2009-07-30T00:33:00.009+08:00

Last 18th of July, myself, Amy and Mazia went for a show at Kotaraya, JB. It was organised by the JB Arts Festival (got to know its the 6th festival already). The splendid show that we attended was a performance by a fusion music group known as AkashA. The genre based mainly on the Indian traditional stream weave with Eastern and Western music, classic versus modern tune. The group formed by 7 talented musicians of different ethnicity, religion, race and even nationality, somehow with one vision...to explore the music and bind it into one soul.

Well, for further info, they have their webpage (which I noticed managed by Ruhil Amani) . Here goes... http://www.akashamalaysia.com/

The guys getting ready to perform (short of 2 orang due to an urgent family matters). Still, it was a great show.

I ended up buying the CD...which my fave track would be none other than Java Raaga. Its a music arranged base on javanese tune, adopted to the Indian musical intrument and a bit of Western guitar plucked by Jamie Wilson. In a simple language - Fabulous! (still humming it til today)

Oh ya, while enjoying the show, I realised Dato' Shahrir Samad's presence...and were able to snap 1 photo with him (I hate this pic tho, simply coz I look fat in it)

Us posed before the show starts...

To you people out there...check out the song...it will serenade you to dream world...(in a positive manner)

Later.

Darkness

2009-07-08T16:54:00.002+08:00

There's a blackout...
Nothing is visible except the emergency lights,
And the flash from the monitor of course.

My neighbour is playing an old hits 'Nur Nilam Sari'
At the same time, my ear caught some unknown melody...
It soothe me somehow.

Well,
I'm supposed to finish up some tasks for tomorrow, which...
I'm unable to do so...since its dark.

Its already 5pm,
And dear God, I wish I'm home...
But she's not here, likewise she's in the dark as well...

Let there be light...
To shine on us.

Michael Joseph Jackson

(29.08.1958 ~ 25.07.2009)

Another day has gone

I'm still all alone

How could this be

You're not here with me

You never said goodbye

Someone tell me why

Did you have to go

And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself

How did love slip away

Something whispers in my ear and says

That you are not alone

For I am here with you

Though you're far away

I am here to stay

But you are not alone

For I am here with you

Though we're far apart

You're always in my heart

But you are not alone

'Lone, 'loneWhy, 'lone

Just the other night

I thought I heard you cry

Asking me to come

And hold you in my arms

I can hear your prayers

Your burdens I will bear

But first I need your hand

Then forever can begin

Everyday I sit and ask myself

How did love slip away

Something whispers in my ear and says

That you are not alone

For I am here with you

Though you're far away

I am here to stay

For you are not alone

For I am here with you

Though we're far apart

You're always in my heart

For you are not alone

Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'

And girl you know that I'll be there....I'll be there

~~~~~~

Must admit that am not his fan.

Somehow, learning to appreciate him after his death (sorry Thamei)

I guess..."you don't know what you got till it's gone"

Rest In Peace M.J

God Bless...

No Apologies...

2009-07-05T00:39:00.003+08:00

Hell no...
Apologise my *ss!
I refuse to give in...so do you.

Be strong and I will always be here for you.
You are on the right track.
If you back off...you cause a greater damage...
Seized the flood gate...
This is not the time to swallow your pride and be humble.
There are things which is intolerable and this is not an exception.

Hey girl, I am positive that I'm not the only one with this opinion.
Trust me on this.

Remembering Uncle Harun.

2009-07-04T22:34:00.003+08:00

6.7.08...a simple num to remember (mom said)
That's the day when my Uncle Harun passed away.
In 2 days time, its gonna be a year.
How time flies, we never notice.
Yet he still live in our heart and mind.

It felt as if it was yesterday that my dad woke me up early in the morning with a panic face. Telling me to get ready and to drive them both to check on my uncle whom was still breathing on a life support machine. Well, obviously, his soul had departed from his body at that time.

Life...
No one could foresee nor predict the future.
All we can do is, to live it to the fullest.
As if tomorrow would be the last.

This post is dedicated to him.
A pious man with a kind heart.
Altho no blood relations between my father and him, somehow, they developed a very strong relationship. Sort of kindred spirits.
My Uncle Harun came in the early 80's from Myanmar (then it was called Burma) and met with my dad in a train (from KL to Penang)
My dad, being a friendly and a talkative person (which I inherit this from him) started a conversation with this man who just came to Malaysia.
From an innocent chat, blooms into a 30 years of a friendship.
The 2 families became close until this very day.

Then, it was so fun that all of a sudden I had a new sisters, brothers and a personnel doctor...before I was even borned.
All my medication being monitered by Uncle Harun...with no cost obviously.
He opened the first ever clinic at my area 'Poliklinik Telok Ayer Tawar' (yes, the one next to Robina Corner) where I would lepak, going in and out at my own leisure like no body business from that clinic.
There are times when patients met him, I would be kaypoing in the doctor's room.
Never he scold...not even once in my life.

And I still remember how sad I was when they moved to PJ.
They came that night and I pretend to sleep...
It was so sad, as if I would never see him and his family again...

Fast forward a few years or so, I entered UiTM and met him and his wonderful family once again. But I've grown by then. So, no longer feeling sentimental like before...(funny).I would always visit him at every opportunity and Uncle Harun always explained to me when ever I have doubt, uncertain or vague in Islamic teachings. He makes it so easy and makes me understand better bout Islam and how universal Islam is.

And one thing that is still apparent in my mind, is that, each time myself or bro salam his hand, he would always pat on the head...kuat2 lak tu... hmmm

May Allah bless his soul...
Amin.

2009-06-30T23:09:00.003+08:00

I'm so tired...
PTK had sucked all of our energy.
Is it that hard?
Not really...
Perhaps age is one factor in contributing tiredness? (but I'm not that old)
Or maybe, lack of momentum?
Owh dear, how the hell am I supposed to have the drive for masters?
Haiyah...

So after a sour umum paper, we had our khusus paper today.
Which is, way better, altho I have problem with time management...yet am able to answer all.
But overall the course was fun...except the exam part (heh)
The class was okay...most of the time was chatting with Bon and poor him, he had no choice but to layan me or else he'll hibernate...which he did while I was talking to him...mangkok.

Overall its kinda fun for being able to escape from work and court (sorry Kak Laila) and another reason is the fact that I was able to hang out with my friends...and this time around in a smaller group (we are the ppl yang terlepas PTK February) thus we are more united.
Lunch skali, maggie beli skali, photostate skali...dinner skali (sian Emma lambat sebab teman Elin makan ye?)
Discussion skali...with Kak Hazee, Yati, Kak Fit, Kak Juan...
Everything pun nak melepak together la.
And of course, my source of entertainment was Tom and Jerry (none other than Dila and Dona) They are just so cute! Together I mean.

Anyway, last night myself and Liza had gone mad after the umum paper.
I shall upload the Superhero pics once I got it from Liza...and pity Mazia whom had to be our photographer, unwillingly of course! (but who cares right?)
Superhero theme came up when coincidentally we both brought our Superman's shirt *chuckles*

So after the whole damn course had ended, I went for Karok with Yammy...(opsss, sorry Liza)
And it was nothing but fun, fun and fun!
We went from all the updated tunes to the oldies. Ranging from Neyo's to Rahim Maarof to Keri Hilson, back to Nora, crossed to the late MJ and went on to Awie's songs...kira East meet West la.

Oh ya, condolence to the Late MJ and Farra Fawcett...may God bless their souls...

Well, I'm exhausted!
...my only fear is that, at times when I'm too tired...I can't sleep...
Darn!

Later people.

I didn't mean to hurt you.
Never my intention to make you sad.
Am so sorry...

PTK

2009-06-22T20:57:00.004+08:00

What is PTK?

Precision!
Tedious!
Kudos!

Precision
The state or quality of being precise; exactness.
Tedious
Tiresome by reason of length, slowness, or dullness; boring.
Kudos
Acclaim or praise for exceptional achievement.

So, in short...PTK is menyusahkan! (boleh?)

For what is worth, I get to meet my old AG buddies and got to hang out with them.
Earlier we had lunch at Sangkuriang.....ahhhhh...layan
Tomorrow we had already plan to go to Lariz (my plan actually)

I must say, this PTK is kinda dry...and well defined as aboved.
What to do...or else I won't get a raise.

To dear Amy,
Don't be sad...nanti Jumaat kita Teppanyaki ye...sian dia...

To Dear Itik a.k.a Kunur
Congratulation...such a chubby cute daughter you have there!

To Dear Munirah and Fawwaz
Fawwaz, be nice to Moon will ya?

and finally,

To dear Am,
Sian, I'll make sure Daud's gay partner will look after him k?

Later

Monday, anyone?

2009-06-15T17:05:00.004+08:00

So lil time, yet so much to do, still am wasting precious time.
This morning (monday yer) its sooo hard for me to wake up. Reason? Had a rough journey back to JB from USJ.We were caught in traffic, there were 2 accidents occured from both lane, on a different occasion.
To all my fellow Malaysian, you may drive as you desire, at a racing course.
But then again, I'm not that courteous either. So boo me!

Anyway, I believe that I had gained some weight.
My shirts and pants are getting tighter each day.
Had a marvellous meal back home:
1. Sari Ratu - yummy good
2. Orkid Thai - havennn

Camner ni?
Its okay, this week kinda hectic. Have a lot of work to do. And I pity Kak Laila that she had to share piece of the work due to shortage of officers and time of course.
Then I have to attend the PTK for a week or so...the course is fixed from 21 til 30th of June.
So...that should be the answer...to slim down a bit...he he he
But I really pity Amy whom will be left alone since neither me nor Mazia is around.
Hopefully Iffa can teman her.

I really wish I could take up my PTK with my dear Tim and Nana, but they took earlier. But better still, I have my Jac and Bon for me to rely on...*evil laugh*

Take Care.

The Difference Between Love and Obsession?

2009-05-28T12:28:00.006+08:00

What is the difference between the two?

I've posed this question and got an answer by my dearie:

'Love is when you wanna be with that person, grow old together and be with him/her for the rest of your life. Whereas obsession, you are crazy about this person and you wanna have this person."

Love?
what is love without obsession? I'm positive even the purest sweetest love would entangled by at least a slight of obsesiveness and possessiveness. But then again, possesive intertwine with jealousy(which I do not desire to comment on the latter)

Agree with me that love unites with obsessive feelings?

Does obsession stands on its own?
An instance, you think of this person, you fall very hard, wanting to be with him or her all the time. All of a sudden, a voice inside your twisted mind hum:
"Do you love him?"
"Maybe...but I can't stop thinking bout him day and night...am counting the days to spend more time together.Love?Well, I would love to meet him. But then again, I'm not sure...I don't know whether I love him."

Aha, could it be the flick of love?
Or its just mere obsessive feeling?
Obsession often mislead love - e.g It must be love since I think of him, wanting him, crazy bout him
And obsession also leads to lust...(do we need to elaborate on this?)

But I agree with the answer given earlier, that obsession is formed due to an uncontrollable anxiety...in a simple word 'crazy'. But one must caution it with a phrase 'thrill of a chase'.
After series of meeting...you sense that the obsession lessen from day to day...
There is no more thrill...no fun...not interested anymore...bye-bye?
Is it equivalents to rebound? (in a way it does contribute)

Agree with me that it is unhealthy for a relationship based on obsession?
Worse if it is one-sided emotions.
Example, A is obsessed with B while B doesn't bother bout A.
How do we cope then? Is it true love? Can love be nurture in this text?

Simplification:
Love + Obsession = True Love
Obsession - Love (or think it is love) = Disaster
Or Obsession - Love = Lust

Is it safe for me to differentiate it in such way?

Am I right?Or am i right?

Dumpster

2009-05-12T07:37:00.004+08:00

Now am a bit free.
Unlike when I was attached to the Magistrate court for a couple of weeks.
I must admit, it was insanly hectic.
I wonder, whether a busy court (mad house more like it) should there be only 1 officer to manage it? Frankly speaking...No.
The volume of work (fuhhh) and the snobish magistrate (not all, some) who thinks that the DPP attached to the court are their subordinate (Big Mistake).
But all in all, it was a good exposure, yet tiring.

So we are still trying to settle down at our new office.
At times there's electric short circuit...as a result, left us in the dark for a few hours.
And my cube? Nothing like a dumpster. Yes, am guilty of being too lazy to decorate my cube.
My problem is that, I have a big box containing all my office stuffs frommy old room to accomodate a lil cute cube. How? Banyak tu... (now I understand the anguish faced by Kak Fara when she had to unpack her stuffs from 1 whole house into a small room when she decided to move and rent a house with me then)

Anyway, last Saturday was 'Mother's Day' and I gave mama a card which describe her perfectly...a pic of a lady resting on a sofa holding a 'mom's mug' and at her feet there's a fat cat, chilling. Marvellous! And I then promised to cook for her the next day. So myself and Amy prepared steamboat for her. Which turn out to be, Amy and mama (the celebrated person) who prepared the meal since I was bogged down with work. Another weekend wasted with work. Sigh...
Should we opt for another work people?

Mazia called me earlier.
I was informed that her pet muttakose is dead (girls, pls call and comfort her)
Gonna hang out with her later...
Now I'm off to court.

Later.

Our New Sofa - Yey!

2009-05-05T15:55:00.005+08:00

Last night myself and Amy went to hunt for Cavenzi's sofa. Thanks to my beloved Kak Su and her hubby together with the adorable Imaan, we went all the way to Pandan (I have no idea where) and bought a lovely red 'L' shape sofa. They gonna deliver it tonight (yey)

Did i ever mention that our house is very spacious? And it look even more since we don't have any furniture to stuff in it. Thus, our house is just like a cave i.e echo. And there are times when neither of us understand what we're talking bout when we talk from a distant (e.g when I'm at the kitchen cooking and Amy terlentang watching tv - a very normal scenario people). Therefore, in order to reduce the echo, am stuffing the house with macam2 (Amy alone is 'too small' to reduce it *evil grin*)

Anyway, altho I just spent on the sofa, am still religiously comply to my strict budget. Have to come up with RM5k for the UK and Europe trip this coming October. I just pray that by then the swine fever dah takde supaya dapat tour dengan hati dan jiwa yang tenang bersama-sama my fave people.

Later people.

"Don't forget me"
"I wont remember anything else"

I saw this one movie the other day. A snippet taken where two lovers were in a commotion i.e on the verge of breaking up. I felt for the script at instant. Sweet...yet it is still painful.Obviously, no matter how amicable a break up is, the bitterness is still strong especially when unable to end it properly. Just to go through this pain, one even avoid of falling at the first place. Thus, closes his/her heart and shuts the feeling completely. But then again, it is normal for a person to fall in love and to fall out of love. The question is whether you have made the right choice?

One must bear in mind, if you are not meant to be with that person...no matter how hard you try or do...pointless as it is. In the end, put your chin up and learn to let go.

For God works in a mysterious ways.

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night - Dylan Thomas

2009-05-01T01:25:00.004+08:00

Altho am extremely tired after a long journey, yet I'm unable to sleep.
So, here we go...

Today is not as hectic as few days earlier.
As all are aware that tommorrow is Hari Pekerja...
Thus, I believe that everyone has their own plan.
My officemates are not excluded as well, a few stayed in JB,some left for their hometown. Mazia went off to her grandmother's arm back in Segamat. Before leaving, as usual she would hug me and promised to meet up next Monday.

Her grandparents' house is her sanctuary.As for me, it is none other than my lil blue room. It is the place to be. It is where I would just curl on my bed and hide myself from all the problems. As if a fortress where I could just spend hours day dreaming(that explains all the pimples on my forehead)
Here,I find a piece of mind...its serene ambiance soothes my emotion.
I truly agree with the phrase 'no place like home'

We pushed off around 8pm...kinda late. Expected to reach around 11 plus pm.
While I was driving, mom was half asleep...yet refuse to let me drive alone because I am in her black list driver...and to gain that trust? Forget it...
While seated at the backseat, Amy whom refused to listen to my songs dozed off with her mp3. My songs are not her cup of tea...Mazia would appreciate somehow. Amy is more to R&B and Hip Hop. I can't stand listening to her hip hop collection. Sorry dear.

While listening to my songs' collection, one track by PM Dawn triggered me.
Yes, the melancholy tune...
Yes, the cunning lyrics (which I never pay attention to before)
Oh what the heck...I'll just paste it here.

Die Without You
by PM Dawn

Is it my turn to wish you were lying here?
I tend to dream you when I'm not sleeping.

Is it my turn to fictionalize my world.
Or even imagine your emotions. Tell myself anything...

Is it my turn to hold you by your hands?
Tell you I love you and you not hear me...

Is it my turn to totally understand?
To watch you walk out of my life and not do a damn thing?

(Chorus)
If I have to give away...
The feeling that I feel.
If I have to sacrifice...
Oh, whatever babe, whatever baby.
If I have to take apart...
All that I am...
Is there anything that I would not do,
since I'd die without you...

Oh, I apologize for all the things I've done.
But now I'm underwater and I'm drowning...

Is it my turn to be the one to cry?
Isn't it amazing how some things completely turn around...

So take every little piece of my heart...
Yeah, take every little piece of my soul...
Yeah, take every little piece of my mind...
'Cause if you're gone... inside...
I'd die without you...

Interesting that the table has turned right?
And I wonder...

I Need My Good Ol' Sleep

2009-04-28T17:04:00.003+08:00

Its more than a month now that I've been a Johor resident.
Yet, only today myself and others able to pay courtesy calls to the High Court judges. But better late than never...right?

Anyway, moving to a different story.
Yesterday morning I had a hunch (hunch ke?)
The uneasy feeling is more like it...as if something bad gonna happen.
I was driving at that particular time and was telling Amy bout it.
In fact, I felt uneasy that I almost had trouble breathing.
It is peculiar that it lasted the whole day.
Its very unusual for me to feel that.
How do I explain this...its like unstable emotions collides(Sigh,big word Elin)
End up, I've screwed up big time (Hmmm)

So to cut thing short, I had a sleepless night.
The best part is,I didn't experience it alone...
Amy pun takleh tido rupanya.
And even Mazia can't sleep either and end up talking to Int til god knows what time.

I hate being unable to sleep...
You cry your eyes out...yet you still can't sleep.
The result...Feeling weary, bad mood and the almighty Zits!(Nodding fast while reading Kak Alin's comment on my FB)
Beauty sleep is almost impossible nowdays.

Right now am feeling sleepy but I'm not sure whether I would be able to have a good sleep tonight.
My emotions is still SO unstable.
I hope this is temporary...it shall pass...Insyallah...

Wishful thinking.

Home Sweet Home

2009-04-04T19:21:00.002+08:00

After 3 weeks I finally return to USJ...
I must confessed back in JB, it was nothing but a whirlwind.
This morning I woke up and hope the whole event is nothing but a dream.
Guess what, reality bites!

Somehow, I'm glad I got to come back home...
Although its for a shortwhile,my heart is resurrect.
Meaning...I can go back to JB and start all over.
Hmmm

This Monday am off to ILKAP for a course.
I'm so happy the fact that Puan Izzaini and Azlina will be attending it too.
Not to mention I'll be seeing my former boss and other seniors from my old unit.
Yalah...am attending Money Laundering Course. So, as expected.

I've just got back from MidValley to change some Ringgit into Pound Sterling.
One word to describe the difference...'Gila'

Right, gotta go. I'm starving and dad is cooking mee kuah.Yummy!

Later...

Our Last Day At The Old Bungalow

2009-03-27T14:52:00.005+08:00

Right Now,
I am in the room with Amy busy perusing her ip,
Mazia digging into the trolley checking out her ip,
Two man wrapping the leather sofa to send it off to Nusajaya.

Later,
I have to switch off the computer,
The two man are going to pack it into boxes and shift it to Nusajaya.

Now we are here...actually somewhere within this area...that majestic building is Bangunan Sultan Ibrahim. Its a strategic place as it is in the heart of the city, wherelse Nusajaya is a district of its own and the journey from JB town is bout 45 minutes.

No More :
McD breakfast
Court Mammoth's Nasik Lemak
ZZ breakfast meal
City Square
Roti Mamak yang sedap nak mati i.e Sallehuddin

Aiyoooooo.....

Later peeps

Ironic?Maybe

2009-03-26T12:36:00.003+08:00

I was just browsing thru my old posts and came across this entitled The City of JB dated Saturday, June 28, 2008.

It strikes me...
I never post other cities/places I've visited during my travelling period.
Somehow,now I am based in JB City itself (which everyone is fully aware of)

Wonder if things like this ever happen?
Its not deja vu, somehow its as if a hint.

So people, we must be alert of the event occurs before us.
There's somehow a message hidden behind it.

Cheers!

Fasting Month...So Far

2008-09-10T20:09:00.005+08:00

How's Ramadhan treating you?
As for me,everyday my tummy will make noise. In fact, every second it does. So the best way to ignore this...I plan stuffs during lunch hour!

Oh yes,every single day during lunch hour I would make sure I'll stay awake. After finishing all my task (clarification,takut boss salah faham)its UNO time. The girls had promised there's another game called Bluff...which they will introduce (can't wait!)

Yesterday myself, Mazia, Kak Alin and K.Imah went to the bank and I forced the two big sis to pose with a beautiful background of the mosque.
Later myself, Mazia, Int, Amy, Mami and her hubby went to break fast at Secret Recipe, Alamanda. It was okay...and Ez joined us a bit later. Pity mami since she keep on going to the toilet due to her pregnancy sickness...illness?I dunno what to call it. Somehow, she freaks me a bit (well, a lot actually). I wonder does Tim, Kak Imah, Kak Alin, Jas, Jaja and Fara and the list goes on experienced the same thing? Hmmm...scary.

Here a pic of mami yang sakit and Amy with Ez talking yet look like having a cat fight...

After breaking fast with the girls, I rushed to Darussalam at Subang SS15 to meet Ayu. Although I and of course Ayu were both exhausted, yet we able to meet up and catch up a little bit. And the best part is, all of a sudden, the casual meeting turned out to be a serious discussion when suddenly issues of law being raised (darn) and we even rushed to the nearby cyber cafe to find cases for her trial the next day.A hectic night obviously! But then again, thanks to Tuan Sahak who managed to help me although he is still down with fever.

Finally we finished downloading the cases and discussion. I rushed home and went to bed at nearly 1 plus a.m.

This morning, I managed to wake up early and pushed off by 7.15 a.m. and we all know as a fact that Putrajaya allocates all the government offices (thus, where government servants are populated by the malays, mostly) therefore, massive jam is inevitable during Ramadhan. As a result, no parking! I parked at MOSTI...which is far. So today everything went smooth. Alamak, got to go...gotta meet my brother at Brickfield.

Had a pleasent day.
Later peeps.

Grandpapa?!

2008-09-04T22:09:00.007+08:00

Yesterday had a great time makan-makan berbuka puasa with my colleagues. Thanks Moonz for the treat. Today the day went on smoothly. Been struggling (due to feeling sleepy, laziness and hunger) to finish up my loooong due task. But then again, thank god my boss gave me the dateline til next week.

So today during lunch hour...I almost hibernate,however instead of tidoq, I managed to gather the whole bunch and end up all of us chill out for UNO game. Owh, it helps a lot to pass the time rather than feeling hungry...(teruk betul). What can I say besides fun,fun and fun.

After work I rushed back home since I promised my parents and brother to break fast outside. After passing thru the traffic and all,I managed to reach home at 6 and we pushed off to Brickfield to pick up bro. Our initial plan to have our dinner at Picolo Mundo, Midvalley...but sadly, its not longer in business. A new restaurant will be replacing it. Thus, instead we went to Manhattan Fish Market. The food? So-so. The price? Aiyo...

And while eating, a young mother with a baby was looking at me. I just smiled and pondering 'this girl must be younger than me'. True enough, she came later and greeted me. Asking whether I am Kak Farah (confirmed budak Penang ni) and I quickly nod. She turns out to be my junior back in primary school. She's very young and the gap between us surely more than 5 years (damn, and she's married with 1 child...aaa...tua nya aku)

Also, next to our table sat young couple with their baby. Somehow, my dad seems to be fond of that baby. He's been teasing, waving, smiling (almost everything to attract that poor baby) and somehow, it freaks me. In the end, he just couldn't help it but to play and hold that baby (grandfather instinct? darn...I shouldn't make joke of Puan Raja being a grandmama...now my dad is acting like one...except,worst)

Just look at my dad's face (Oh dear...) and my parents playing with that baby!

Adoi la...its okay...I'm the second child. My brother should get marry first. No pressure...no pressure at all...hehehe

Anyway, while merayau I came across this tanglung...
Its Gunzo...(Int,its you!)

All Summed Up

2008-09-03T12:25:00.014+08:00

My exciting life for the passed few weeks...(or perhaps for the month of August)
Let me see...

Me and Mazia attended Sara and Arik's wedding. But didn't get to snap pics with them instead like a monkey we catch the elegant Puan Raja and snapped couple of photos with her *grinning devilishly*Then we had a bowling tournament (as I informed earlier)Same thing la, no pic during the competition...only post-tournament available.
The girls did a job well done! Thanks to Tun and Liza as well. Later got compliment from senior since it was well-organised. Whatever it is...we had fun, fun and fun. Its just a repeatation here... Puan Noorin's team won the game while Puan Raja grabbed the second place and followed by Tuan Anselm's team lead by the bestbowler that is Tuan Fairuz. Owh, the champion from bottom was Tuan Hanafiah (sorry Tuan, can't help to shout out loud)

After the competition myself, Mazia and Ez went to watch Zohan (too long la the title) and what can I say...bloody fool its nice. After that we adjourned to Dome in Subang...and this pancake...drool (damn I'm hungry)

Nothing much after that except attended a few more weddings and travelling and oh ya, the latest was Jaja's Baby Bash (baby shower is the correct term...whatever). The
theme was pink and white. Everyone was there except Ana who's down with fever and Far who is too far, far away in Terengganu. Then again, we had great time! I won the teka berapa coklat and 2nd in ukuran Jaja's belly and 3rd in creating anything that has to do with baby from plastersin (betul ke eja ni?) and boy...i should have won the first place (no Am,I should get the first place coz Sharel dah tarik my cat awal2 lg before Jaja interrupted him, altho you did helped me to be less ambitious)
The winning cat
Me and Pretty Am
All of us without Am
The winners posed as the losers watched including the photographer(ouch)

Here an old pic taken somewhere in July during tapisan keselamatan (sempat lagi)
Me, Nana and her friend with a nice name that I called with another name...sorry The girls berposing without me,darn and Jas my referee who was so nice enough to take the day off...

Till next post.

Updating

2008-08-29T20:51:00.010+08:00

So sorry haven't been updating this blog. A few friends been reminding me of it. So...this month had been a rollercoaster ride. As usual, outstation which includes 2x trips to Penang (i don't mind at all) and between the travelling period we had such a great event of the year i.e Bowling Tournament Dato' Mohd Yusof's Cup. It was pure fun esp when everyone was such a sport! But no pic of the event. Perhaps next entry I'll upload it. But in short, its fun, fun and fun.

Earlier I and Yani went for dearest Dila's wedding. Such a pretty bride. I didn't get a good pic of her. But, just la. It seems like one after another is getting hitch and as far as I'm concerned, I am happy for all of them! And even more happy as Jaja is delivering very very soon. A baby girl it seems... Such a bliss (how fortunate of her to have 7 god mothers and 1 god sister...hehehe)

Anyway, while travelling back to Penang, I and mom checked out Permatang Pauh. Its insane...the posters, the banner and yada yada yada...(in fact the posters war hebat dari General Election yang lepas)

Politics...need I say more? Naah...

And today,Belanjawan been laid. I didn't get to watch it. Was stuck at the komuter station (yes, I took public transport today after years of relying on the car) and oh gosh, I've been too 'manja' and taking a public transport is definately a BIG challenge to me. In fact, this is the first time I and mom travelled using public transport together. While in the LRT and komuter, its such a heartache to see how inconsiderate our fellow Malaysian...The journey from KL Sentral to Subang Jaya was such an eye opener...a guy simply rush to sit and ignores a pregnant lady, A young guy sat all the way and only left when he arrived his destination. When he stood up, a girl with crutches came slowly and sat (I am pretty sure the girl been standing with crutches in front of him...stupid) And the worst, 2 school kids just sat through out the journey while my mom and other senior citizens just stand. Idiots.

However, earlier, a very kind young lady had gave up her seat for my mom while we travelled from KL Sentral to KLCC. So, out of 80% inconsiderate Malaysian, there's still those who able to make us smile.

51 years of independence...and I wonder...

And oh ya...check out this pic...

Merdeka kan?

Monday Blues

2008-08-11T21:23:00.007+08:00

So, Arik and Sara dearie got hitched. Congrats to the newlyweds. Owh how I wish I was able to snap their pics...(so,faham2 la...no pic ye)
While on the way driving to their wedding, a car slowed down next to me. And it turned out to be Puan Raja (rrrrr)While driving, I managed to catch the back of her car... (pengantinnya tak amik lak...silly)

Today as usual, busy, busy, busy with 'the job'.Luckily the new officers such a big help(and skillful I must say) helped to arrange and had created beautiful hampers. Which I believe if me, Mazia, Liza, Ez and even Int buat...instead of creating a hamper...it would be hampeh. Here, the pretty girls pic with their creation.

Amy and Hani posed with their hamper (the resurrection)

Reward...makan time!

The whole day went on smoothly. Keng Fatt was called to help me out in decising whether to buy Vios or not. I must say, I am amazed by his hidden talent (selain mengurat, bijak membeli)

Anyway, the post title doesn't suit the whole event of the day...
It was quite okay...

Kuching

2008-08-05T00:21:00.008+08:00

I just got back from Kuching. The trip was a nice one since I went together with my colleague, Kak Imah. We depart yesterday and unfortunately we got the last seat.As for me, I was stuck in the middle and my seat num was 27E. Such a baby I am, with air sick and all...luckily I didn't vomit, altho I felt like it couple of times. Speaking of a baby, earlier I met Kak Alin (another colleague of mine) at KLIA who was there together with her adorable son to send her mother in-law who's on a trip to Bangkok. See how adorable Amirul is? Here a video of him recorded by Aunty Elin.

Anyway, we check in at Hilton Hotel and able to get a room with beautiful view of the waterfront. Furthermore, the beautiful sight became more interesting as how fortune of us to be there during the Sarawak Regatta 2008.

No wonder Pak Lah was there and on that particular day, The Sultan of Brunei checked in too (sorry people, didn't get to catch a glimpse...nor a glance of the handsome Sultan) Oh ya, kereta dia ada la...(Sorry Your Royal Highness for stalking your car...and also your Royal Brunei Airplane at the airport)

Myself, K.Imah and Jessy went out touring the beautiful Kuching (Cat City...rrrrr) only after our job done ye... and bought some stuffs back home.
Well, I have to go to KL Court esok...so...night2...

Later peeps.

The Man Whom I Called 'Uncle Harun'

2008-07-06T21:53:00.004+08:00

6 July 2008

I just got back from my uncle's funeral tonight.

5 July 2008

The uneasy feeling...

I wonder why I was unable to sleep (altho the whole day occupied with numerous activities).I reached home at 10 plus p.m. and later by 11 something Aida replied my long due sms. A sudden insomnia attacked had lead me to go out for drinks with Aida. Which of course prolonged til 2.30 a.m.

Still unable to hibernate...I browse the net and even tried mirc (god knows when was the last time I chat) til 5.01 a.m.

Still can't sleep...but later I force myself to do so.

6 July 2008

Was awaken by a noise cracked by Papa at approximately 6.57 a.m (not even 2 hours of sleep) and was informed that my uncle in a very critical stage and depending his merciful life on a machine.

While bathing, putting on clothes etc I can't help thinking of Dana's post in her blog. No matter what you say to the deceased's family, there is definately nothing to relieve the pain or even to make it better.

Rushed to Damansara Specialist.

Pulse - negative.

Heart - negative.

A matter of unplugging the life support machine. Which eventually to no hope...the procedure done.

I accompanied my cousin to make police report. A new experience (which I must say, a very frightening...a preparation in a way...I cried). There's a part where I cried and mama rub my back. I told her...if this happen to either one of you...I'm not sure how strong I could be...Mom look at me and said, 'don't worry, u will be...u are such a good daughter'

Mix reaction...somewhere deep inside, I'm blessed.

After Ustaz arrived, went and saw my uncle in a white sheet being transfer into the car (kereta jenazah). We then drove to their house. Later I picked up my brother and myself, mama and makcik yah went to Brickfield to buy kain (to cover the face), flowers, air mawar, cendana and other stuffs.

After prepared all the necessary we went home to rest. Then at 4.30 p.m went back to the house. We waited til 5.30 since my another cousin to arrive (she went for a trip to Myanmar on family matters).Alhamdulillah...she made it.

Everything went smooth.

I will never forget of what had happen today.

Uncle Harun never stop teaching me even the day he had left us.

May the Almighty God bless his soul.

Our love will be link thru our prayers.

Insyallah...

The Bonding Session

2008-06-29T21:50:00.019+08:00

Last Saturday we (Unit Perlucuthakan Harta...fuhh, mouthful to pronounce) went for bowling practise. This is in conjunction to the Bowling's Competition that will be held somewhere in August. I went to pick up Kak Faezah (who claimed 'dah lama tak main' ... yeah right).

By the time we reached there, Boss, Pak Din, Tun Bud and wife together with their adorable kids dah sampai. So, got the shoes, head straight to the lanes. The practise went on smoothly and it became lively when Tuan Hazril joined. Suprisingly, the one who claimed 'dah lama tak main' seems to score X three times in a row! Dashyat...

Later Kak Imah and her husband joined and Puan Maziah and her family came, a bit later. When Boss asked me to add another game, unfortunately the whole lanes were fully booked for a tournament (no wonder ramai pakai jersey merah kuning)

The results...no way I'm gonna tell! (Boss score tinggi...hahaha) and Pak Din's skills amazed us. I was bedazzled by his moves!hihihi

I forgot to snap pics during the practise since Bud brought his canggih camera...so I'm expecting to get the photos from him...

The best part is the 'makan' session. We had our lunch (atas ehsan Boss...thank you very the much) at Penang Village. Various Nyonya cuisine were laid on the table for us. Here are some pics of the food and us enjoying the lunch.

The bonding session went on smoothly...both Tuan Dzul and Hazril's wife arrived a bit later. For all that is worth, it was a fun and enjoyable time spent (Quality time ya)

Puan Mazia looking over Kak Faezah (lapaq sgt ka puan?)

Kak Imah's bundle of joy

Bud's Hero

So...tomorrow is Monday. Happy hour sudah lepas...

"Buat Kerja!"

Later peeps.

The City of JB

2008-06-28T21:51:00.010+08:00

Was about to flip thru works when Tun Bud called up and reminded me on a matter to attend at Johor (erk). So, there I was, being a Penangite (and proud of it!) as 'kalut' as I could be, I started dialling the hotel's num (for room purposes), my dad (for car purposes) and my mom (for teman purposes). Went to C3, met Bud and grabbed the white file and rushed straight home.

Since the first day I joined this unit, I've been a frequent traveller. For me to pack up my stuffs would only acquire a couple of mins. However, due to the 'kekalutan', i left a few important items. Whatever...

Going to JB is always a delighted one. Here are a few reasons why I always enjoy the trip to JB.

Numero Uno - The Food.

It would come 2nd after Penang. The food in JB simply nice...cheap and delicious. Here a few pic (based on the food I've yapped on my last post)

How on earth could you resist all these man-made heaven?

Second Reason - The Hotel.

Mutiara to be precise. Nothing much to shout bout except the location (next to mall...tshirt best gile!) and not far from the court either. I tried a few hotels before becoming a frequent guest at Mutiara. New York Hotel (the elevator is damn slow), Putri Pan Pac (a nice view of Singapore yet the price had increased...perhaps due to the Singaporean guest) so the best so far is Mutiara. Unless any new suggestion? The gym at Mutiara is nice too. Been visiting it beberapa kali jugak (sampai sakit kaki...erk)

This is last week's pic of my mom and bro enjoying rojak in the room.

Third Reason - Transportation

Its so easy to get a cab either from the hotel to the court or from the court to anywhere! (seriously). Having said that, thanks to a young gentleman who held the taxi for me. Whoever you are...thanks!

Fourth Reason - Friends

The fact that I know my friends are around it makes me feel safe... altho didn't get to meet them but I know whatever happen or in any emergency situation, they would be around.

Fifth Reason - Simply because...i like it! *grinning widely*

The Day When I Realised I Have A Blog

2008-06-24T21:59:00.004+08:00

I've been away for the last whole week starting from last saturday when I've pushed off to Penang for a case. Then, after a couple of days spend there, I rushed back to USJ on wednesday just to push off the next day to JB. I stayed at Mutiara (which both my mom and bro tagged along). Didn't get to meet up Kak Su, Dot and the newcomer - Am as the trip was such a short one. That night we went out for dinner at Meldrum (sorry if salah eja) and had 'ayam penyet' and myself I ate 'pecal lele' (which is similar to ayam penyet yet instead of chicken it is served with catfish). FYI - the food originated from Indonesia. I have the pic which I'll update in a later post. Besides the lovely dish, we ordered soup mamak (sooo nice and thick, stew alike form) and fried beansprout (heaven!) and end up feeling satisfied! JB is definatley food haven after Penang (of course!)

After case I pushed off to USJ and the next day me and my girls met up at The Curve in Mutiara Damansara (its a matter of time before people would call it MD, would they?or maybe never... u know how we Malaysian likes to cut short and call it according to the initials. For example, KJ...which now have 2 meanings..a place and an individual. The weird of all is that BMW some call it BM. Oi, BMW is short enough la!)

Anyway, it was such a fun loving enjoyable time we had! I miss them even when they were around (could it be?). We watched Made of Honour and how pathethic could McDreamy plays as a womaniser when he looks so handsomely innocent + nerdy + geeky. I totally disagree with the role he played (sorry Patrick's fans)

The week was such a hectic one, yet fun and I hope you guys had a nice weekend too!

Later people.

The Wedding's Pic

2008-06-11T10:53:00.024+08:00

As I promised, here's the pics taken from An's wedding.

Tet and Semah even forced the adorable bride and groom to pose on pelamin...(which they did!)

We even posed on the pelamin, arch and everywhere.

Here a pic of us, the bride and Tuan Othman's and his beautiful family.

The next night we went to Pantai Cahaya Bulan (PCB) and had wonderful dinner (ketam goreng, cumi goreng yada yada yada)

The next morning we had breakfast...chotek (i dunno how to pronounce, its roti canai with egg and lotsa gravy). Then we went to Pasar Siti Khadijah. Cantik the pic from top?

That's it for now.

Later people...

The 'Mulut Cili'

2008-06-09T22:03:00.013+08:00

Last Friday I and Mazia had lunch together with Yanie and Dila. Lots we talked bout and one of it is on our next conference (yes, its no longer rumours,the next conference is in August and a combination of 3 Divisions) . I just keep my fingers cross hoping and wishing its gonna be a nice and enjoyable conference (this time...erk)... but with triple bosses, let's just face the reality...

We had lunch at The Coast (which by the way, the food is similar to Chillis/TGI yet smaller portion and cheaper). But most of all, its just nice to meet up and spend quality times with friends.

The bride-to be and the wannabe (hihihi)

Me and Yanie (gf sape ntah?)

So, that night I pushed off to Penang around 7 something (since I have a case the next Monday). Supposedly I should be going straight to Thamei's crib, unfortunately, there were lots of cars through out the journey and an accident occured somewhere near the terowong. I arrived late and exhausted... therefore, I had to cancel the initial plan.

The next day myself and mom attended Anis' wedding reception (oh ya, she's 2 years younger from me). She looks so cute and her mother (my mom's bestfriend, better known as ustazah...coz she is one) was soo happy! The food? Nice... in fact they served laksa...but such a long que... and I'm visualising it in my mind still....damn.

Me and mom wearing the same colour (cute kan?hehehe)

Next we went to my uncle's place and how unfortunate, the 'mulut cili' i.e 'chilli mouth'(a nickname I just created for my mom's cousin who simply make comments/remarks without considering people's sensitivity nor feelings...idiot). And it seems, she always make inconsiderate comments upon me. I dunno what's her problem...just because she's a loser, she can't degrade others just to feel nice (aniz, ni kes macam makcik sedara ko yang kata ko tak lawa dulu tu...remember?). So, this time, having nothing else to say, she came up with this idea (god know's where) and commented that I look better with short hair and not pretty having a long one. I, without any hesitation retaliate and told her off that almost all of my friends told me I look way better with long hair and never to cut my hair again (anyway, Nana, secara kebetulan pula hang commented on my friendster *grinning*). Its sad that this type of people exist and its even sadder that it exist in my family :(

The comment went on even when I wasn't around. I went to Thamei's place and later was informed by my mom that mulut cili was such a busybody as she is, asked how and why I had loss weight? Am I on diet or something? And it seems, she said that, my face dropped coz of it (what the ***k?!). I could never see her in the eyes again. Such nasty comments over the years could never be erase easily. Stupid.

Putting that aside, I crashed my pet's place (Thamei) and it was so fun! We lepak, went dinner together with Mr. Syed, went clubbing, make new friends, developed rashes (once again). Thamei's friends are simply nice and the next day we had nice banana leaf rice at Anandha Bhawan, Tanjung Bungah with Jay.

This morning, I went to Georgetown Court and unfortunately (this is the 3rd time i'm using it) my case unable to settle and need to be fix to another date (yey!). So I'll be coming down to Penang again very soon.

Then I brought mom to the bank and while waiting I saw this interesting signboard. Yes, next time, you together with your gold and handphone can borrow money as well.

The journey home was such a pleasent. My grandma join and she is such an adorable lady.

Anyway, I came back and check on my email and YM, but sadly, there is neither email nor msg for me to ease the addiction. I guess I deserve it, afterall, its my fault. I need to attend an anger management course (is there any?)

Later peeps...

The Day When Everything Went Right

2008-06-04T23:07:00.017+08:00

I kicked off this morning together with Kak Imah to Shah Alam Court for some matter. We returned to the office a few hours later and ended in Tun Bud's room and fortunately was ambushed by our boss whom ordered all of us to have lunch together. The food fiesta was a bit delayed as all of us went hunting for Puan Maziah. To no avail, we pushed off to Larizzz which an instant nod of agreement by Tuan Dzul after mentioning 'kambing'. We went with 2 cars (gosh,I got to drive Tun Bud's new Honda Civic...damn nice people!). The 'makan2' session went on smoothly (there were some famished faces tho). And as a matter a fact, all the cumi and kambing licin! Here is an aftermath of our 'makan2' session and the satisfied faces...

We hang out for quite some time at the restaurant, chit chatting and pulling one another's legs(yes,its the unit bonding session everyone). In this pic you can see I managed to snap my boss,mr.nice guy (none other than our Tuan Saifuddin) and Puan Asmah laughing obviously at Tuan Hazril's and Tun Bud's joke.

The highlights of the 'makan2' session was when our Tun got stains all over at the back of his shirt. I took a pic, yet didn't get the permission to post it here...hehehe.

Later, we pushed off to the office and hang around while waiting patiently for the unit's meeting. It was fun (meeting pun fun you might ask...well,it was!) and it was adjourned at 6.30 p.m. Next I rushed to pick up Ita to celebrate her birthday. We went for pizza at Piccolo Mundo, Mid Valley and retreat by 9.30 p.m. The journey home was a shocking one...I didn't expect Malaysian to be so kiasu (like you and I know who). There was massive jam at all gas station! (By the way,thanks Pak Lah for the shocking announcement). While I was caught in jam, adalah this one brother sibuk hulur business card from his car window. Boleh la camtu plak?!

I wonder, if I accept and konon menjadi lah...what would I tell my children in the future?

"mama camna kenal papa?"

"er...tepi jalan" (literally!)

Anyhow, my unit is very concern over this matter as we travel a lot...and most of us (esp me!) travel by car. To solve this matter, a calculation need to be made in order to assert the best result i.e is it worth to drive or to travel by air?

Oh ya, tomorrow is batik day... (once again thanks Pak Lah...seriously)

Later peeps.

The Travelling Period

2008-06-03T21:14:00.007+08:00

It seems I've been travelling endlessly. I've checked my punch card for last month and guess what...I've punched in for work only 7 days while the rest attended courses, meeting and especially working outstation. I even travelled to Penang twice last month and in fact will be going again on the 9th for a hearing at Georgetown Session Court.

The last time I went to Penang was such a blast. I visited my crazy cousins and their parents together with their lovely cats (altho lolo was never kind to me and the fact that lolo got its name from her origin i.e she was found in a longkang) Just look at that big eye...such a notty cat! I call her Psycho Freak!

The day before my case heard, I've crashed Thamei's place which turns out to be a hostel house at YWCA and later was dumped by her (hihihi) since she had to go tag the doctors for the night shift. Nothing left to do, I went out to check out the hotel which supposedly our Prosecution's Conference should be held at i.e the G Hotel (which was later informed postponed to another date and even another location...sigh). Anyhow, I went and discovered it is just next to Gurney Plaza. As you can see the little 'g' on the building there. After roamed for less an hour or so, I went straight back to her place until the saviour Vijay came together with his friend Ray whom had brought me out for dinner (I know Thamei, its you who asked Vijay to pick me). The night went out well as we both (Thamei and I) ended up at a club only to return at 2.30a.m...(kalau mak tau,mampoih). Anyhow, I woke up that morning with a rashes all over my body due to a food allergies (huh!tu la,takmau dengaq cakap mak lagi!). Still I went to the court, finishes everything, picked up mom, dropped by at my uncle's place and managed to get back to KL the same day.

I went to office the next day and nothing much to shout bout and it went all smooth til Friday. That night, I chat with Sari from 9.15p.m til 3.30a.m (its my new addiction...hahaha) and I knew very well the consequence (I'll definately would not be able to reach Semah's place at 7.00 a.m for the trip to Kelantan the next morning). True enough, Semah rang me the next morning at 7.00 a.m and that was my wake up call. I rushed to the bathroom, siap2 ala kadar and drove even way better than the F1 drivers. Just to add the spice, my fuel was nearly empty which I had to stop by the gas station. How unfortunate I was when the gas attendant was being an over-friendly bangladeshi (ko isi minyak sudah la!) he just had to make an extra conversation with me when it was so obvious I had no intention to chit chat! I managed to reach her house at 8.00 a.m and was informed that Tuan Othman and his family went off first (erk).

The journey to Kelantan took about 7-8 hours! (I swear never again to travel there by car).We pushed off from (as for me, from Subang Jaya) Selangor to Genting Highland via Kuala Lipis (yeah2,the hometown of Siti Nurhaliza,wonder there's any strawberry dipped in choc there,hah!) next we went all the way up til Gua Musang. We were exhausted and extremely tired (it was such a hectic day) after arriving at Kelantan we went to An's wedding reception at Pasir Mas. She look so pretty in her wedding baju kebaya dress (sorry guys, wasn't able to snap her pic) and we stayed there for an hour or two. Later we pushed off to Kota Bharu (boleh tahan jauh jugak) and (kepenatan ye) our dearest Tuan Othman just had to drag myself, Semah and Tet to his friend's wedding reception (by the way,we totally have no idea who's reception?!) yet the food there was superb, so okayla.

The trip to Kelantan was definately a memorable one, esp with the 2 crazy chicks (Semah and Tetralina) together with Tuan Othman and his family. We shop for batik like mad (due to the new ruling that the govt officer must wear batik every Thursday mind you all). Next, the last night we had dinner with Puan Raja and Ezwani at Four Seasons Restaurant (the food was such a dissapointment...sorry Bud). Then the next morning, before we push off, we had nasik lemak at rumah sape ntah?! But then again, the nasik lemak was perghhh,sedap!

We arrived at 6.30p.m and nak jadi cerita I left my handbag (bijak2) at Semah's place (setelah berada di KL depan Bank Negara dan berulang ke rumah Asmah yang terletak di Gombak yer). Thus, I arrived home at 8.30 p.m.

As for today, it went on well. Kak Imah had just returned after long holiday. I've learned new things and definately a worth one. We did an affidavit for civil forfeiture. The process? Dashyat...its like you are on a speedboat. We even import Tuan Hazril's wife to sign some documents. We didn't go out for lunch so my dearest boss was nice enough to ask the I.O to buy pizza and fried chicken for us. Here a pic I snapped while we're both busy drafting the affidavit.

To Puan Norizan and Kak Imah, congratulation once again atas kejayaan melahirkan anak masing2 (hehehe) and Sari if you are reading this, I pray things will run smoothly at your new working place and find ways to ym me will you?

Happy Belated Birthday to my dearest cousin Shaneem (2nd June) and Happy Birthday to my dearest friend Ita (4th June).

Later peeps.

The Engagement's Photo

2008-05-22T22:25:00.013+08:00

Here are the pictures taken from Ayu's engagement the other day...

Me and Yanie (who tot tht we were the earliest to arrive) suprised to see Jihan and Intan there...They were diligently concentrating on stories told by Ayu's aunty (hihihi). Next to our pic is a pic of Jihan (insanely focused) and Intan (insanely ignoring and posed). However, the three of us managed to escaped and posed...(sorry Yanie you kena amik gambar) We waited there for Ayu...managed to take a glimpse at her and I took few snaps...

Ayu's preparation...step by step...

Comel kan?

While they prepared this pretty girl, we were waiting anxiously... (ye ke?)

The next day I went outing with Ita and watched Iron Man. We ate at my fave stall :

Ah Cheng's Laksa (5 teh tarik!)
A.J's waffle - choc and peanut butter (5 teh tarik!)

Us, enjoying the waffle.

To Ayu, congratulation once again...your present nanti ye?muahsss!

Later people.

The Course at ILKAP

2008-05-20T13:25:00.005+08:00

Today I woke up at 8.05 am. Its nice not to go to work, but on the other hand, I am not on vacation la wei. Later I rushed to Bangi to attend a forfeiture, seizure (what?!) course. I have no particulars of this course so as usual I went to register (Ended up at Puan Khadijah's floor...I admit, I got lost!) then after waiting for the registration, I was then informed that this course is not under the management of ILKAP as it is organized by the IAD (International Div). Entered half an hour late, I was alone, recognising one or two faces, just sat and kept quiet. However, the speaker (mat salleh nyibuk je nak ice breaking) roll the ball by asking us to introduce ourselves. As usual, boringgg...

Then Tuan Budiman arrived at the scene (thank god!a saviour he is) and later another familiar face, Fitrah joined. So, I guess, it is still a boring course, but its not gonna be that bad afterall. Between, I'm at the library, followed Kim just to pass the time before class starts at 2.

Anyway, I've watched Iron Man yesterday and I would highly recommend it to you. Robert Downey Jr excellently potrays Tony Spark. Its not too much for me to say that the character somehow was created for him. A day earlier I've watched him in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and loved the character played by him as well. Then he continues to excel in Iron Man (walaupun I rasa tak confident dia jadi hero sebab dah tua and he's kinda sissy but he did it! In his on way).

Oh ya, I promised to upload Ayu's engagement photos. Will be posting soon...Okay people, its 1.45 pm...(dragging myself to class...)

The Engagement

2008-05-18T13:54:00.014+08:00

Yesterday and today i've done absolutely nothing but watching back to back movie marathon. I kicked it off with the Flatliners (it was shot 18 years ago mind you...Julia Roberts with her big curly hair...mat salleh buat apsal cam okay je?!huh,but then again if you look like Julia Robert,sure la okay)

Then, for the first time i watched Meet Joe Black (no wonder girls drool over Brad Pitt, altho i'm not a fan of his,but his character in this movie would be an exception) and yes, its a very weird romantic movie. But until now, I still can't compromise with the idea of malaikat maut to have feelings for human, especially to fall in love...weird! (after all, its Hollywood) Next I tuned to Nacho Libre (no wonder Jack Black married to a beautiful lady) He's hilarious! I guess this is the 3rd time I watched it. Never get tired of him. Now this morning I was glued to the screen watching The Thin Red Line...(all this while thinking that its a boring heavy drama flick...)Being glued and unable to keep my eyes shut, to the extent I was even reluctant to visit the toilet (until I have to) so I won't miss any scene. Somehow it cross my mind, perhaps this is a way or method of showing the Hollywoods' protesting the war which shamely it is somehow of the creation of their own administration (ouch!) Next I'm watching Kiss Kiss Bang Bang...Val Kilmer plays a gay...wonder how he gonna pull it off.

Between, today is my besfriends' engagement... Farah Nurul Ayu to Zulharry. Alamak, haven't got the chance to shop hadiah...Here i post a photo of the cute lovely couple (I love this pic coz they both look happy). Tahniah!

BPR photo

2008-05-16T17:49:00.003+08:00

I dunno how many of you already have this photo.What the heck, view and save it if you want it. (please notice the middle girl in pink..he he he)
Uhh,my tummy is playing heavy metal music now...

The Blog

2008-05-16T17:26:00.000+08:00

Today i certainly feel like the day when I should get myself a blog of my own (actually this creation derives out of boredome and obviously was driven by the idea of Fadzillah). I have no idea on managing this blog yet my friends are good (yes you Mazia, Aniz and Am). Therefore, I will get these 'gurus' to teach me a thing or two.

Today is the day all of us look forward to (oh yes,its Friday!)
I will introduce you people to my blog where there is Elin (the author, writer, blogger whatever you may call it) and the second voice which will always interrupt or share piece of mind through the bracket. If that is weird or leading to anoyance, too bad (suka hati i le)

Today at 5.15pm I was informed by Kak Faezah to attend a course at ILKAP next Tuesday after she was informed by the great Mr Selam...(element of suprise does not exist here in the office). Btw, i would love to write more yet my tummy is performing a rock show (lapar lagi ke?). Well, its time to head home...

Later.
