change

I did'nt make any new year's resolution/s. Just like a friend of mine said.. we should make changes. I did try to make changes, it did'nt work. Or was it because of my weak will power? Contohnya, nk meniru rakyat jelata around me, at that time, to be more organized.. tak pun. I blamed myself.. takkan nk blame rakyat jelata. Or even to get married before 30.. well, u can make yourself believe bende tu blum dicapai.. ( assuming you are 30 for a few times lah). I even made a pact to get married with this guy if we weren't married by 3o. Huh! That darn cat! Got married before me! Ni, I blame that person.

Then, I tried to change to be more patient. Well, some times it works, some times it doesn't. Yg ni, takleh nk blame org je sllu, sbb sdiri pun took years to just "zipp it". Jgn mrh lbh2. Nk jd lebih pious, jauh lagi perjlnan. My bad nih. I want to manage my financial matters better, well, this one must work this year! Kena tgk how well it goes. Eat healthier..yup, health issues bothers me. And, one other thing, I should worry less.. this one, mungkin susah. Boleh la berlakon2 je tak susah ati, hoping I won't be a worry wort.

Dinner!

Salam all.

Whenever you come back from work just a little fed-up with unfinished things.. you can always choose to relax your mind. Or more accurately, distract your mind with other things such as complaining, why was lunch so frustrating (and on the day you decided to go ramai2 kan?), and thinking what you are going to eat later.. huarh huarh...

So, if you have the feeling of eating something else, such as PRAWN OLIO (atau pape binatang lain) bleh la buat spaghetti nih. (Dedicated esp. for dear ANin)

First, make sure that you have these main ingredients.. udang tak nmpk, as well as canned anchovies (optional since setin costs abt RM6.50 or more!) Bukan sambal ikan bilis ye.. no no. You can always substitute with kiub bilis. Lada kering sikit, and buat la bwg putih goreng siap2.

Fry the shitake mushroom, kiub bilis, a little bit of garlic and lada kering ptg2. then cmpak udang and garam. These stuff can be fried in the oil used to fry the garlic earlier. (Gunakan minyak sawit yg tak berkolestrol, yg omputih selalu ingat tak ok, tp sebenarnya sama bkhasiat dgn minyak zaitun.)

Put in the spaghetti (recommended) but I use Angel Hair sbb cpt masak. Kuca-kuca (kacau-kacau) and siap. Do not "tikam-tikam" the spaghetti nnti putus. I've made a mistake here, whereby I boiled the Angel Hair a little bit longer due to keasyikan menelek cd x-files.

Later, just eat it with fried garlic and cheese and mybe sprinkle some parsley. Kalau takde cheese, it's okay. If you have it, hen hao chi!!

Upah!

Whenever you feel stressed out like these people do:

Stress dgn komputer, email, and keroje...

Or maybe stressed because you don't really understand what you're doing..

You can always opt. to make funny faces or muka2 riak.. or even sleep.

But, remember.. there are some things that can cheer you up, even for a while. Upah la diri anda dgn. sesuatu that's affordable like these.........

Nescaya, your faces will turn this way! (sapa sangka baru sat tadi ter"stressed"?)

Berlengging

There are some definitions of "berlengging". Takde kene mengena dgn legging pun..cuba semak ejaan. Berlengging means not wearing baju, just seluar aje to some, but I just use this word to illustrate the "freedom" when you wear something less, atau tak lengkap berpakaian. Keadaan berlengging ini most frequently found lately in my house, after some individuals went for their circumcision. (betul ke eja?)

Berikut adalah gmbr mereka (my nephews) yg telah ditapis setelah berkhatan. Kelihatan statik di tmpt baring sbb takleh gerak byk. These are the time they really2 behave. Sbb sakit, sume main sekali, dan tak ada perbuatan mocking (menganjing) antara satu sama lain.heee.

Above are the pictures of recovering children, with their special attire. The eldest just need a towel to cover himself, the middle one is "working" the attire of org Afrika kot. Well, dia kata dia pakai ihram. Seen here, the youngest was forced to wear his towel appropriately.. sbb dia lah yg selalu "berlengging". No mercy pnye budak.

Fringe VS X-Files

I am quite bored right now. Well, let's doodle something here.

Peter Bishop consoling his father. Ayah dia suka merayau2 sdiri. Polis le hntr balik agaknye tu.

It's been almost 4 months or more since Fringe hit the local tv station. (don't you think this sentence mcm ayat dari mag? hehe). I've been following this tv series with a few misses and I think that it's quite interesting. Btullah producer/director citer ni ckp, ada mcm X-files sikit. Bukannya sikit, byk gak. Anyhow, it's quite addictive for me who likes this kind of tahyul stories. Mcm citer2 tahyul X-Files tu.


Agent Dunham (FBI) yg tersalah pangkuan. Explains the face, kan?

But the thing with Fringe is the character that draws viewers to watch is Dr. Walter Bishop. Dr. yg agak mereng, with peculiar behaviour and dialog2 yg selamba katak yg mampu dituturkan dengan bersahaja. We almost feel sorry for this guy disebabkan his mereng'ness but I find it quite adorable watching him in his character. His son act as his guardian after they released Dr. Bishop from the asylum. They both help Agent Dunham to solve unexplained mysteries.. sama kan mcm X-Files?

I have better hair in this season kot?

Tapi dlm X-Files, boss diorg usually doesn't agree with them.. In Fringe, boss yg berkilat nih, sllu ngat mintak tlg Olivia (nama panggilan kt rumah).

For X-Files, the characters they first highlighted was Dana Scully and Fox Mulder. Scully initially was assigned to debunk mendapa misteri dlm X-Files and report to her superiors and later on joined Mulder (knp la mak dia bgi nama Fox? tak ssuai) in their cruise to unveil the truth. But whatever they did, ade je government dia cover. Those who are not a real fan of X-Files juga akan menganggap citer ni tahyul semata. Sememangnya ye juga. However, since these two series has the same genre.. jadi, aku pun gemor je

.

2 main characters, Mulder and Scully. Promo pic, sebelum budget ditambah.

Noticed how Scully's hair is better now? Budget lebey. Mulder takde, dia gaduh dgn minah ni.

Bila start aje ada tukang2 karut besides Scully and Skinner ni.. I stopped watching X-Files. Now that I have the collection of the DVDs, I find it hard to watch it back to back. Tgk slow2, time takde citer, then it'll be ok. How I wish I could light up their set. Trend citer ni la kot..Gloomy je.

Cite Tamil

I watch Tamil movies. Whether it's Malayalam, Telugu or any pilihan bahasa yang lain tidak dapat dipastikan. However, I am not an avid fan who waits for it every Saturday or Sunday (wah, tau gak) each week.

No doubt Tamil movies are similar to Hindi movies, but, if you ignore these parts eg: rolling down the hills, flowery2 and dancing-dancing and "naan unai kaadal.. etc:, some stories might be worth watching.

I remembered, pada suatu waktu dahulu, on one Deepavali, a few years back, my housemates and I watched this movie starring Vijay and Simran. I recognized only Simran at that time as she is pretty. Tajuk cerita: Thullatha Maanamum Thullum. Huh, therbelit lidah.. How do I know the title? Berbekalkan nama Simran, i googled. Cari saja sinopsis cerita that involved

i) a blind girl

ii) a kidney for sale
iii) donated corneas
iv) a bus full of muda-mudi passengers
tada!! dapatlah sebuah cerita Tamil box office yang telah meletupkan nama Vijay (anak siapa tak tau) dengan emphasis on his thick jambul. Some scenes involved bus passengers who sing and clap synchronizedly (bila berlatih tak diketahui) to the song "Innisai Paadivarum". Try look it up. A song that haunts me for years. Kenapa la.

Above is Simran. Tulisan berlorek tidak diketahui maknanya.

To me, the story was okay. Sekiranya ada parts yang tak hingin ditonton, kita buatlah aktiviti2 lain contohnya buat air, minum air @ pergi ke bilik air. We watched that movie dengan penuh perasaan.. perasaan yang lebih bermakna dari menonton Sembilu..hmmm.

Rumah

Salam..
These days the price of houses sold everywhere is quite ridiculous. I was thinking that even if I am able to finally buy a house, the loan would be like forever. In the news recently focused on the issue of extremely high house prices. Especially those living in the area around KL and such, the price might start from RM200,000 and up.

A relative went for house hunting recently aiming for houses priced starting from RM100,00. Sengaja la dia melihat2 area KL and Puncak Alam yang jauh jenat tuh.. Ejen yang bertanggungjawab membawa ke rumah2 terbabit terus explain yg. good houses available starts from the range of RM400k ke atas. Memandangkan they are just looking for place to stay after retirement, baiklah tak payah.

My friends bought a condo for nearly half a million. gila kan? jejak tanah time nk parking je kot.. and keluar masuk keta. No can't do for me lah. Sometimes I wonder, why didn't I buy a house earlier? Maybe at that time is doesn't seem necessary. Therefore, I just told Mak, "wa tumpang umah mak ye". PTPTN pun blum langsai.hehe. Up till now.. consider myself "homeless".

Pinjam

Recently, I seldom open or do antyhing on my FB account. It wasn't that interesting, so I just open it whenever I feel like it, or when I'm so darn bored. There was this person who often post things showing his/her feeling @ activity yg seronok and not at all seems in difficulties. I remembered, once this person asked me for help to lend some pitih, although not much but promised to pay me back. A few months goes by, and being so "understanding" I didn't event mention about the debt. Day by day.. muka dia still happy di FB yet still nothing, nada, nill response psl pitih tu. Well, if kita takde duit, at least, show the curtosy to inform the people you borrowed about your recent financial situation whether you are making effort/no effort to pay it.

Another thing is.. ONLY, ONLY when we can pay our debt, should we make any loans. Taking big risks by making huge amount of loan/debt will sink you even deeper. Kalau ye pun kita nk follow, no pain no gain pnye tagline, pstikan the pain only involves oneself and will not become a burden to others. Especially when the pain involves money; it will surely be a pain in the ass.

ThE VaN

Salam. Last week was the most "relaxed" trip with the college's van. Usually on business trips, (business la sbb menguruskan hal2 kerja) the schedule would be tight, hectic, and will end late.

Maybe due to early departure (mcm la naik belon) at 7.10 a.m., we were able to have our breakfast in Maran (a very2 nice roti canai) accompanied dgn. pisang dari Kg. Ulu Luit Abg Din exam, and arrived in Jengka awal. suka2... Trip ok, dgn driver yg relax dan cool. In the van, I was thinking, there are lots of memories created. Whether it's good or bad, it's bound to melekat dlm our minds and hearts, esp. for those yg no longer serving the same place.

Old pictures.. on the way back, the tyre punctured, and being the "wise" guy, Sani showed us way to the mechanic.. eh bukan way.. WAYS.. pusing and pusing and pusing roundabouts.. but then, aku dgn Ja pun bljr kat sana..ahhaha! I luv this trip anyway..

Trips to Courses/Workshops selalunye agak seronok. Fun as the van will be invaded by friends yg sesama went for bengkel. If it's with the OM group, sure havoc. Great minds think alike kan.. assuming kepala masing2 sume great! hehe. Once, I remembered, the driver was Abg. Amir (no longer working) yg. tpaksa mengikut channel radio permintaan ramai. That time, Akon was dominating the radio station with his 1st hit "Lonely" and that pempuan Indon.. Melly Goeslaw was hitting the radio with " Lelaki Idaman". Pantang lagu2 ni kuar, terus "kuat sikit volume ". There were Mala, McD, Booboo (Anis), Ida, K Ja, K Zak, and me.. conquered by girls. Hm, jgn lupa pitt stop at Burger King otw back is Wajib! esp bila McZue yg in-charge..hehe.

Now, the practise is.. Listening to Klasik F.M... smpai bleh hafal lagu2, example lagu Cincin Emas tuh.. isk2, sob2.. Haduiii

Another trip involved exchanging vehicles and passengers and etc. Otw back dari KL, the van stopped.. I hear the driver was hello, helloing somebody with promises to stop somewhere. Just when we were about to get cozy and sleepy, I heard Ijud's voice.. "Ha, cpt, tukor2, naik van putih tu".. Hampeh.. Pijak kang! Looked like isi perut van yg baru balik workshop, nk kene naik van putih (kenangan btul) yg agak sedih, and those ustazs going to the workshop, hijacked our comfy van. The best thing was.. the vehicle came with a 'long-lasting' car freshener; Keropok Scented. Hmm.. how refreshing it was!

The white van was our "main" vehicle time kat Pekan. When we were organizing a farewell dinner for the staff in Pekan, all the AJKs were compiled (ye, assuming kita sume ni kertas nk masuk dlm file) in that van. Thank God, kurus lagi time tuh. Ahaks.. was it Boy or Abg Rosli driving? hmmm.. I remembered, ramai tul ikut.heheh. Pantas btul pemikiran AJK tertinggi (wink2, K Dib, Wani etc. arh).

Validasi trips were carried out hundreds of time. Above was one of the trip.. agak comfy sbb time ni tak ramai. Plg kesian, was the time Karimi went by van too.. He got a seat yg takleh blah.. kepala terlentok dan tegak, and terkulai and tegak.. where got head rest. Huuu.. After that incident.. he usually follows with his car.. no matter shine or rain, or raining without working wipers. Wasn't it wonderful? trips with the van.. ahhh.

Ouch!

From the 1st till the 3rd of October, some of us (colleagues) went to Suria Beach Resort, Cherating. Bukan utk. bersuka, (sbb. ada duka2 sikit) but to finish what we started bulan-bulan-bulan yang lepas. The plan was, on the 3rd, at lunch.. everything was complete.

Sad and Sedih

It's half way through Ramadhan Kareem and now I'm starting to get real sad. This feeling usually catches up with me around this time. Sedih thinking whether I'm going to still be alive to go through the coming fasting months. Kalau kat Mekah ke Madinah, terasa sangat semangat puasa dan ibadahnye. Each calling for prayers (azan) berduyun2 org. ke masjid.

Sekiranya tengah saie' dan berkumandang je azan, we don't have to worry where to break-fast. Ada je those who willingly pass around kurma and teh berempah utk. berbuka. Mudahnye. If you walk pass the roads, there are always a commotion where people flock to catch (and I do mean catch mcm bola) kotak2 air/yoghurt yg. nak disedekahkan.

Outside these mosques, akan terbentang lah kanvas so that food can be placed. Kalau ada yang tak bleh nk mkn byk, you can always give it to the makcik2 arab yg suka btul kalau org bagi dia yoghurt tuh. Time tarawih, although you don't always understand wht's being recite, boleh aje kita join others and try to find it in our hearts rasa sedih and sayu and these are the times where one can actually rewind btul2 sins they've done.

Rasanya seronok btul kalau dapat ke sana Ramadhan ni.. Nk melancong ke lain? tak kott..Tak carik lain dah.. Insya Allah kalu ada rezeki.

Cari Parking

Today I parked like a crazy person. This morning, I planned to park at a shaded area, but somehow I parked at a hot spot. Mcm unconscious je tindakan tuh. Then, I got out of the parking and moved to the shaded area earlier mentioned. But pusing2 ada bas melintang. So, again I have to "tawaf" hoping there's some place available dkt2. Huh, saje je..mmg yilek. So, I parked opposite the lobby, in front of the drain (that sometimes smells like a loo). I wonder, "Aku ke yg parking tak btul?" as I looked at the car beside. Eh, rasa mcm dh muat nk bukak pintu, but never mind, I got in the car again, and re-parked. Mcm kesian lak tgk Wani exec park sblh I, mcm tersiksa je tmpt parking dia. After punching in, I observed knplah mcm parking tak btul.. Found it! Ada seekor kereta di"park" btul2 between 2 parking spaces. Ramai btul org2 yg pandai di sini. IPT la katakan.

Ladies

Gambar hanya hiasan.. sbb tandas ni lawa.. and takde orang

Ladies yang dimaksudkan adalah tandas wanita. Tandas wanita yang dimaksudkan adalah tandas kepunyaan pusat membeli belah dan bukan tandas rumah yang dipnyai oleh mana2 wanita.

Ni bukan toilet shopping mall terbabit.If it's this one, sure ada yg baring ramai2 atas tmpat sink

Sebulan dua ni, I've been heading to shopping malls for a few times in a week. Just to browse around, and buy nothing. A few times at the mall, of course I will visit the ladies. Weak bladder ke hapa tah..During my visit (ala2 cerita musim cuti skoloh) to the ladies there are a few occasions yang made me make statement "eh, boleh ye gitu?" but only in my head.

On one occasion, I was with E-id washing our hands..when tetiba one girl asked Ida," Kak, ada sikat tak?" I was tkujut gak la, how come bleh mintak je dari Ida. Tpi, rasanya she doesn't know this girl. Muka E-id pun terkejut.. dia ckp "takde". Tpi, dia sebenarnye reply dlm hati "kalau aku ada pun, aku takkan bagi kat ko". Kami terpikir, agaknye, ada kot org bertudung bawak jugak sikat and beria mnyikat rambut time ke tandas. Well, if it's my reply it would be " Boleh, tpi kan, gue ada kutu, kelimumur atau psoriasis-tgk la dlm kamus..(atau ape2 illness yg sesuai), amek la pinjam. Ada beran?

Then, this week too, I visit the ladies at one shopping mall and while I was washing my hands (again, nmpk sgt hygienic nye aku) I looked at this girl who was "ralit" menyikat rambut. Hmmm. Thought I saw her outside with her boyfriend kot just now. Maybe dia dgn mmber pempuan dia kat sebelah tu, tgh mengadap cermin dgn pnuh khusyuk. I assumed mmber la, sbb right after brushing her hair, she gave the brush to the girl next to her.. Saying "dah siap dah". Tetiba dia kuar je sorang.. and outside her boyfriend was waiting.. and they walked away.. berdua saja. Eh, boleh ke? I mean.. pjam je sikat sesapa. Tak kenal lak tuh.

Then, there's also this one time, I was on my way out dr ladies when I saw a few girls ready'ing themselves dpn cermin. One of them made a joke " kalau org tanya kenapa rambut serabai, aku jwb je..baru lepas kene r_ _ _ l". Fuh.. boleh ye gitu.. I don't know la.. mybe it's me with my silly superstitious, yg kalau boleh, jgn sebut mende2 gitu.. tpi, tak sangka boleh buat lawak pulak.

Hmm.. tu tak termasuk 4-5 org yang berpakaian gothic duduk mencangkung ramai2 mengadap muka memasing. Buat hapa tah.. yg psti, pegang telefon. Maybe tgh bluetooth kot.. reception lebih baik dlm keadaan mencangkung tu kot... Boleh ye gitu.

-uno momento-

Sometimes I felt like I am "baby-ing" people around me. And at times, that has to stop. Tapi selalu jugak takleh. Habit kot. And it's nice if at times, people plak take turn to treat u nicely. Tak payah belikan apa2, just do nice things to you. Help you out whenever possible. Even the small things count kan.. Sometimes, terasa jugak, people only linger@ be with you whenever they feel like it. Dah takde importance, langsung orang lupa. Kenapa ye? Tpi, actually, that's life. Teaches you not to feel attached to others easily, sbb selalunye orang akan lupa.

Terkejut Aku.

Salam..

It's 8.15 p.m. and I just switched on my computer. Baru sebentar tadi hati berdebar2.. Kenapa berdebar? Sebab jiran2 sebelah @ member kepada jiran2 sebelah asek memberi salam. Kalau dah dgr suara jejantans (bukan Ja Jantan yg Mek slalu gune) kat umah kami nih, mmg la pelik.

I was at the computer, when suddenly.. "Assalamualaikum" hehe.. terkejut. Kami pun statik serta merta and waited for any other sound. Owh.. terdengar anak Pakcik Hassan (jiran sebelah kanan) mmbuka pintu.. Oooh.. mmber dia.. Hm, mcm la pasti sgt kitorang nih yg bukak pintu tu anak pak assan. Ok, then sambung type. Tetiba lagi, terdengar.. "Assalamualaikum" yg pnuh jelas, jati dan tanpa was was. Sekali lagi semua org terkejut.. Diam.. So Linda mengambil keputusan (yg tak payah pikir selama 2-3 hari) to peek from Ida's room yang gelap gelemat (sbb tutup lmpu). She said.. "Org beri salam la kat umah kita".. Pelik.. kitorg tak jnji dgn sesapa. So, kami terloncat2 menjengket cuba gak jenguk.. gedebuk..hahhahah.. e Id langgor meja dia..hahaha. sian.. So, I try finding a place to fall (katil dia) laughing..hahah! Sian Ida.. (dah la didiagnose dgn migrain arini.. Hadiah yg datang bersama dgn jawatan, no doubt)

Pakcik2 dari mesjid datang beramai2.. agaknye nk ajak p msjid kot.. Ada la dgr akak sebelah umah said something.. pastu diorg berlalu dan salam kedengaran di rumah2 jiran yg lain. Gitulah kami kalau ada org2 bagi salam.. Org2 menjual pun kekadang sangat daring, smpai masuk pagar. That day, got 3 guys masuk pagar.. trying to sell dengan sepenuh ati alarm kereta. Kenapa I said sepenuh ati? Sbb dgn penuh konfiden they asked us to give them a fork/garfu utk tunjuk mcmana senangnye dia nk bukak keta kita yg dah dikunci.. Ntah pape.. Okey, that's about it.. it's time for citer "feveret" K Anum.. glee atau lebih mesra di hati dia.. Geli..kih kih

Terkesima

Last Sunday I went out with Mak to buy something. And in the car, I told her about my schoolmates, sekolah rendah yang able to have found me through FB. Hmm... I almost forgot most of their names already. Tapi, agak amazed to those who still remembers me. Aku takde pun gambor nih.. amek dr FB member

My classmates recognize me.. cause of my hair. I didn't know pun my hairstyle was "unforgettable". A friend told me that she remembers me when she saw Velma Dinkley dari Scooby Doo.. Huh..Lantak le.. Yg penting hingat. Some said, I didn't change (except for the weight gain). Itu, I simply replied..my face outgrown me siap2 dah.. so, when u guys see me few years later, I didn't change. (kalaulah ada such thing) Muka dah tua siap2.

Well, from a few small chats with one of my schoolmate nih, I found out that most of them are married, and some divorced. So, I told my mum about this. Mcm statement biasa je la kan.. "this fellow, I just know were divorced" and this fella married..but, most of them I don't know their whereabouts etc,etc".. The best part was, my mum simply stated.."oh, patut la takut kawin". It was something I didn't see it coming yet able to make me stunned.. terkesima abis.

Tpi, persoalannye adalah.. was the statement right, or left?... heheh

Mana Perginye?

Baru2 ni i bought a lipstick.. a very2 bright lipstick that was so obvious worn, it will be so Maybe it's as red as this!

ridiculous to ignore..hehe.. Wht's got into me purchasing this item? ntah.. tgn gatal kot.. So, I remembered dulu2, time study, I had this lipstick (given by my sister) titled Brick something something. As I remembered, it was Covergirl. Knpa la takde dh now2.. Well, pngedarnye takde kat Malaysia kot..huuhuu, years passed by, patut la tak jumpa2. At the same time (masa study tuh) I was hooked on Physician's Formula, yg dulu dgn rondaan minima hanya dijumpai di pharmacy di Jalan TAR. Earth tone was my choice. That too pupus years later. Y? oh Y? It was sized smaller than the usual lipstick, but the price was reasonable too..

Tadi, as I was boiling barley to make drink, I remembered that dulu I used to drink lemon barley drink yg skrg mcm tak jumpa je. Ingat tak?
And there was this drink.. pe namanye.. ha, Herbal Tea.. rasanya rasa dulu tak se"keji" rasa mana2 teh yg diclaim herbal tea. Keluaran mybe same company, kotak kaler ijau..

Next in my mind was.. Maggi Udang.ke manakah perginye? I'm NOT a devout Maggi eater.. tpi, teringat2 jugak sometimes. I am right kan? No longer exist this maggi udang..

Ni Maggi Masala.. takde kat M'sia ni.. Yg biasanye.. yg iniMaggi Kari

Hm, there's a lot more stuff we used to enjoy.. Tak ingat dah apa..

COW DUNG, CHICKEN POOP

Weeks ago my car got scratched.. bukan la scratched, sbb scratch bleh la sapu2 gune liquid nk kurangkan nmpk tu. This time, angkara mat rempit yg otak pnuh cow dung (bak kata suki dulu) yang sibuk nk terbang atas jln. Mujurlah I wasn’t the one who were driving, my bro. in law yg bwk. It happened kt Sg Ular, time tu.. the cars wasn’t moving fast since these mat rempit yg berbaju tshirt merah and with a round logo kat blkg was riding kiri and kanan jalan. Still, dlm pada keta tak laju.. seekor org with cow dung in his brain rode next to my car and bergarut keta dari pintu blkg ke dpn.. kemek siap.. tutup tyr siap tcabut.. Tak jatuh plak tu.. Malaun, curses.. curses.. pnuh 2 lori curses.. Apa barang nk baring atas motor? Org baring atas tilam.. tak pun atas jln trus..

Terkorek sume cat.. Am so so mad.. and sad. It’s not that bleh byr repair with bulu idung right? I think, most of us (well, kwn2 lorong X) afraid of motorists. Due to habit yg suka menyelit2 nih… menggusarkan para pemandu yg berhati2. Yg mcm pelesit gak, sama naik gak..lantaklah. And this costly incidents slalu berlaku pd org2 yg bukan daredevil atas jln.

Later that day, I saw these motorist with the same red shirt.. berlogo di tengah.. masuk Tepian Gelanggang.. Apakah? Curses and curses lagi…

I always wish there are some ways, I can stick out my legs and cause the bongets to fall hahahahahhahhahah. Ada gak mmber yg imagine, ada skrin that can display “various faces” to mock these “cow dungs”. A day after that, time static kat traffic light, still, one skuter himpit at the part yg terGORES DAN BENGANG tuh!.. Dia tolong kasi cabut sama cat yg bersisa hasil gores dan bengang pertama. Ni seekor org lagi yg very the chicken poop! Allah nk duga la nih.. tahap kesabaran.. sejelas2nye.. aku mmg tak sabor, especially bila dah couple of times gini.. Hina btullah gue… So, salute utk org yg mmpunyai tahap kesabaran yg tinggi. If only I can be one.

Back When

Sitting around doing nothing, I think Back When..

I was in school, transition phase to university. Those were the days I consider as the “prime time” of my life. I wasn’t that “ old-fashioned” (as if); friends going out clubbing was fine with me, as long a I wasn’t dragged along. Couples around me is okay, as long as I didn’t witness anything that made me puke.

Students weren’t so daring back then. Anything that we want to say were always “subtle”. No harsh remarks, or any words that considered rude to our lecturers. Now, things are different. Responses like “Tau takpe, Tulah pasal” is so common, it made me wanna tarik muncung those who utter these “infectious” words. Oh, yesterday, I was invigilating exam. Seketul budak did not write the question number on the front page. Told him.. "Tlg tulis no. soalan." He wrote "1, 1, 1" in each box. I told him.. "tgk la no. soalan pd question paper, takkan semua 1" bleh dia ckp, "Dulu saya buat gini gak.. selamba je takde apa2", I replied, "Markah agaknye dpt selamba la jugak".. He said "tulah pasal.." Hih! budak ni aku nk tunjal je rasa.. Sabor je.. not worth to cakne ke dia nih

When I was studying, trips to café must be fully observed. I don’t like to queue behind my lecturers, afraid they will see what I ate. As generous as they were-paying for my friends’ and my meal, we felt guilty every time they took the bill. Nowadays, students coaxed you into treating them. Just when you’re about to take out your RM10 purse with RM5 note inside. How bold!

Back then, when you’re about to flunk any quizzes or tests, you bounced right back, working twice as hard as you used to. Now, failure in tests is an encouragement to do nothing and waiting to re-sit the paper.. THRICE!

Back then, trips with mini bus is carefully planned. No excuses such as “ I couldn’t get a bus” or “I woke up late” will be accepted. Class doors will be locked and you’ll be pleading to get in. Sometimes, you sneaked into the class just to be present. I don’t think students now will remember such memories as most of them don’t even bother to come if they are late.

I sure hope that once a while, we’ll meet these few students who still respect their teachers and treat you appropriately. I know some of them already are,.. yet, there are still those who doesn’t.. hmm.

Hero ku..

Heroku pada minggu ini ialah.. Nagano Makoto. Those familiar with his name may remember him from episodes of Ninja Warrior.. ditayangkan pada waktu Maghrib yg slalu melalaikan aku dan ramai umat Islam yg lain utk bersolat segera.

Anyway, what makes me favour him compared to other contestants?

Nk kata ensem, tak la sangat.. ni mukanye..

Kiranye dia ni mild motivator for me to turn on the tv time2 dinner (we'll have dinner around 7). Yesterday, I watched the re-runs of Ninja Warrior dgn obstacle yg baru. Too bad, hero ini yg bekerja sebagai nelayan a.k.a. Kapten Makoto Nagano failed dlm jarak 1 meter nk abiskan third stage. Bayangkan kalau dah hari2 praktis atas botnya Konpira Maru for the competition, mau tak masuk final. Kalau dah hari2 asek bergayut atas tali temali.. maunye tangan tak berketul2. Eh, apa relevannye fakta ni ek..heheh

Well, sedap jugak tgk ikan selar kat atas tu kalau wat tumis asam.. Smlm, I noticed that my reaction when watching this show were sometimes (or always) exaggerated when Linda told me, I buat aksi dgn kaki2 skali, and Ida came out from the room, sbb the commotion (aku le tu) outside. That's just me.. takleh control ensem. And today.. I found out that one of my dearest friend watches the show too... and of course rooting for Makoto sokmo...ahaks!

I MISSED THESE..

A few weeks back, some of my colleagues left this place for sure, looking for greener grass. One of them was a senior here. It was quite sad to see one of your friends (although not so close) leaving. This friend was among us who together moved from Pekan to Kuantan.

I was talking to Ma the other day, about the journey of our working days. Although she only spent 2 years there and for me a year, somehow it was also one of our fondest memory . Moving here, we could say gave us a little bit of a “culture shock”. Well, in terms of the environment. There are times, where your work must be displayed in public or else you can’t claim you’ve done it. This is quite different from what we’ve practiced before. Whenever there’s work, make sure it’s done. If you have main duties/responsibilities, do that first. Do other work (such as folding documents/letters etc-mere examples) once your main task was fulfilled. That was fully understood by all. You’ll not hear any comments or sarcastic statements from others. Guessed that was one of the things that shocked us before. But when we get used to it, another thing needed time to get used to. Whenever there’re mkn2/pot luck, I used to bringing anything I want. Be it jemput2/buah/salad… anything, you name it.. Bawak aje. Nak makan, sila.. taknak, takpe. But then, it was not the practice here. We will have to state what are the things we’re bringing. Bawak buah ke? Ulam ke? Kuih ke? Teringat reply sorang member “aku bawak perut je”.. haha.. a good one.. tepuk2. So, I end up tak join and makan kat luor je. Macam tak bermasyarakat pulak aku nih. Hm, sbnarnye, bila org. dh tetapkan what to bring (takde consensus decision making) ni, mcm takde semangat lak. Sekarang dah tak macam tu dah.. Dah ok semula. Anybody wants to bring apa pun takpe.. atau sebenarnye org dah jarang buat dah?

I missed Pekan days. Waiting for bus in kebaya (now takleh pakai lgsg) and heels… then, chasing the bus. I missed my broken heels due to uneven tarred road dari gate KSP ke pintu bangunan. I missed having breakfast at café. We always asked those having breakfast for “what’s good today?” Then, there’s always replies “jangan ambik mi, mi dia tak sdp arini” or “mihun dia sedap today, bleh amek”. I think we also missed ayam kicap Kak Long. I will eat that sambil mengepak (istilah utk mengurangkan perpeluhan). I met some of my 1st OM students a fews weeks before. It was nice to see them. All grown up and “expanded”. My mind time tunneled back to the episode where the Common Test for my subject was due that day. These students yg mmg besar2 dan panjang2 stalled me at the stairs nk naik ofis. I did stop, and end up summarizing the important chapters there and then. I missed them. When exam just around the corner, I will usually end up taking the tests papers back to mark. I believed the same applied to others. I missed marking students’ paper at my Sepekan Jaya house, slept on them, and woke up to continue marking again. I missed watching that Chinese series petang2.. think the title was Justice Pao kot..(kot tu hanyalah short utk rasanye, bukan nama cine tu). On Fridays, Ida, Dyla and me, or Ida, Azie and me (ikut pada pnduduk semasa rumah sewa) will walk to Rumah 500 to shop at the pasar malam. Jauh beza compared to the pasar mlm here. Ntah kenapa di sana lebih seronok..

I also missed balik lewat petang.. chasing the bus again, tp students tlg stopkan bas.. "cpt miss, cpt.." Terima kasih.. By the time the bus reached Sepekan Jaya, agak gelap jugak.. but my friends and I will tenyeh je duduk kat gerai simpang masuk, and had our dinner. There are people who looked dgn agak pelik, maybe asking.. kenapa minah2 ni, takleh makan kat umah ke? Tapi, perut kami lebih penting. I also missed van ikan yang mjual ikan in a limited kuantiti to us. Once I paid RM1 (paling keji) for beberapa ekor ikan..hehhe.. Malu nk kuarkan singgit.

Tpi, those are the things I miss.. What did you miss?

Transformers

Lately, I discovered that so many of my friends who've found me through the facebook. Even those in skoloh rendoh pun sama. A few did "hi" me.. but byk yg telah totally vanished from my memories. It took me some time to figure out who this and this fella is.

I do have short term memory, but the main thing made me forget who those people was... they transformed a lot! Kalau stakat nama.. sume dh berubah. Transformation pun dari segi fizikal. Everybody is getting more beautiful, vogue, thinner, or "daring'er"?

It seems that I am the only person who's the total opposite of above description. So conservative/old fashioned; seumpama org. kg. yg first time berjumpa dengan eskalator..

Tmpt Aku nk Ajak E-id.., and McD

I wanted to go to this place for the 2nd time. Nearby sesangat my house. Hopefully, tak ramai p. Am being selfish plak. It's just, mls nk come here if got lots of people. Can you see, atas counter, got cake? Dlm bekas btutup jernih.. So inviting kalau ditelek secara live.

This is the menu, .. I will ajak E-id and McD to singgah one dah.. insyaAllah. Perasan tak, got tosai? ha, tosai melayu.. mana nk dpt.. (hrp2 melayu la tu)

Above, Afiq and Adib, waiting for food. Adib biasa.. main dgn menu.. Owh, tu, my newest handbag a.k.a. beg cerut.
Yg ni plak, the only pizza u can get at kedai Kg. Selamat.. harhar.. (only on rajin days)

p/s: ada ke rajin days?

Bosan..

The only class for me today is at 4.30 p.m.. so waiting is somehow bosan and distracted me a while from my work. Wat notes, 1 chapter pun tersangkut lagi. Alang2 dah daydreaming ni kan.. jotted something down.
No beginning.. just started with, you know you're adored when....

That person seems to stutter
Everytime you're standing near
The words ain't smooth as butter
Just "hmm.. err, aaa" you can hear

If he is a heavy smoker
Like 6 packs ciggarette a day
With you, YOU are all that matter
That cig, he'll put away

He opens the door for you
As true gentlemen does
Help carry things for you
Will not even make a fuss

He might buy you breakfast
He will save you a seat
When sometimes you're forced to curse
He does not mind a bit

He'll try to keep you happy
Whenever you're down
He'll agree your jokes are funny
Dismissed that you're a clown

Well this might not be true
But I like to imagine it's real
Maybe one'll find one out of the blue
Then one really know how it feels

k, back to work
