Selamat Hari Jadi Malaysia

16 September 2010.

Hari ini,

julung kali buat Malaysia,

menggazetkan cuti buat seluruh rakyatnya.

Hari ini,

Tarikh keramat ini,

mencatatkan sejarah,

Sabah dan Sarawak bergabung bersama,

dan lahirlah Malaysia, negara yang ku cinta.

Tiada cerita yang disiarkan di tv yang menarik perhatian ku. Lalu ku buka komputer riba ku, melihat-lihat apa cerita menarik yang belum ku tonton lagi.

Banyak.

TIba-tiba aku teringat akan satu filem yang baru ku ambil; My Name Is Khan.

Aku masih ingat suatu ketika dahulu, betapa kami sekeluarga seronok menonton filem hindi, terutama sekali hasil karya Karan Johar. Asal hero dan heroin nya seseorang yang terkenal, kami beramai-ramai berkumpul di depan tv untuk menontonnya. Tapi zaman itu telah berlalu. zaman kegilaan filem hindi tidak lagi menular di kalangan orang melayu sekarang. Mungkin hanya segelintir sahaja yang masih mengikuti perkembangan dunia Bollywood.

Perasaan 1Malaysia ku membuat ku tertarik untuk menonton filem My Name Is Khan ini.

Filem ini bukan klise. Tidak seperti filem hindi tipikal. Tidak ade babak tari menari dan menyanyi. Tidak banyak kostum yang digunakan yang perlu berganti-ganti setiap kali menyanyi. Tiada pula babak pergaduhan dengan efek suara yang melampau.

Jalan ceritanya sungguh menarik. Penyampaian mesejnya cukup sempurna. Sungguh telus, jujur dan adil. Ia mengisahkan tentang perjalanan seorang lelaki Islam yang mengalami Asperger's Syndrome atau autism. Betapa dia menghadapi masalah berhadapan dengan masyarakat Amerika selepas peristiwa 9/11.Walaupun berpenyakit, lain daripada orang lain, tidak melemahkan semangatnya untuk berpegang atas apa yang dipercayainya. Filem tentang Islam, percintaan dan seorang pesakit autism ini sangat menyentuh hatiku. Pendekatan yang ingin dibawa dari filem ini amat menarik, iaitu agama bukanlah kriteria atau penyebab utama, tetapi cara hidup manusia sesuatu komuniti itu sendiri. Aku memang menyarankan SEMUA orang untuk menonton filem ini.

Bagiku, hasil pembikinan filem ini mampu menukar segala jenis persepsi.

Alangkah baiknya kalau ada karyawan Malaysia yang boleh menghasilkan filem sebagus My Name Is Khan ini dan ditontonkan khas sempena Hari Malaysia. Supaya generasi muda lebih celik dan matang tentang konsep 1 Malaysia ini. Jelas sekali, belum ramai yang arif...termasuklah aku.

Raya '10 @ Pilah

I have drafted an entry in Malay, but don't feel like posting it.

I promised myself to write in Malay as much as I can. I've noticed, my vocab is getting weaker from time to time. The only source for me to improve my Malay is from newspapers / magazines. I speak 80(or 90)% of Malay everyday but it's all simple Malay. I started to realize I need to improve my Malay since I helped my lil sister on her karangan. Man, it was hard to draft one. InsyaAllah, more of my later entries will be written in Malay. Feel free to comment on the grammar, struktur ayat etc.

How's Raya? Mine's good so far. The day before raya, I told myself to try to eat just enough during raya. After 4 days of raya, I have not feeling hungry AT ALL. All I did was eat and eat and eat and sleep. Terrible ey? Breakfast, lunch and dinner is a must. There's always snacks between meals. I eat eventho Im not hungry. We have more than 10 balangs of kuih raya to finish. How can I not at least try all of them, right?

Daddy's coming home tomorrow. We're going to have some kenduri/makan2 for him. Then I will try to puasa 6. It's the only way to stop myself from eating :| I have to stop eating daging. These 4 days have been all rendang daging for me. And lemang has been my must have daily delicacy(??) .

Now perot pon dah bloat. Thighs pon getting bigger macam kaki lembu New Zealand.

It's time to undusty my running shoes ppl!!

I can't sleep. I have been sleeping too much during the day. Yerp, the only 2 things I did during raya :|

Hayoh!

Birthday n Raya

SELAMAT HARI RAYA EVERYONE!!!

MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN.

To my dearest Ji,

Happy birthday sayang! Sorry I hurt you but I love u no matter what. Promise will make it up to you hotei!

Mwahh!!

xoxoxoxoxoxo,

Irizis

RAYA!!!!!!!!!!!

listening to mraz.

i love dis man so much. i love his songs even more.

an ex collegue even address me as his biggest fans. and only because i went to his concert haha.

not THE biggest fan, but I AM a big fan :P

Anyway, raya is coming. Yesterday was raya prep day. Fun :)

Haven't done any raya shopping yet. I mean apart from the baju raya that is :P

I will be simple this raya.

Not yet to be spending as I want. Not just yet...

Daddy, like previous years, went to Mecca alhamdulillah.

We will be going back to Pilah this coming wednesday insyaAllah.

So far, not feeling the raya mode yet eventho radios haf been playing multiple raya songs.

oh! and what's with the TV3's raya commercial? WEIRD!

The other day, went terawih at a masjid. The imam was good. I enjoyed how he recite the Quran. Beautiful.

At a sentence (or 2), he cried. I was touched. At that time, I regret of not learning Arabic.

Well, I did learn Arabic during primary schools. But all I can remember is DIKUN=chicken.

Seriusly, I dunno why that is the most unforgettable word of all :|

Ok, I still remember how to count in arabic (up to 10 :| ) and some really basic stuff, but that's it.

Allah's will, I would want to take Arabic Communication Class :)

Watched Jejak Rasul, the episode on Islam, Christian and Jews.

Isra=hamba/tentera

El=Allah

Israel=Hamba yang menjadi pilihanNya.

Israel=Nabi Yaakub.

Interesting fact indeed.

For these past years, I have been reciting the Quran.

It's time to learn the Quran thoroughly.

InsyaAllah...

3rd :(

Canada

tempoh hari, kami berbuka puasa bersama. sesuatu yang biasa saya lakukan bertahun-tahun, tapi tidak bersama mereka. suatu pengalaman yang saya rasa sungguh luar biasa. saya agak terkejut dengan diri saya, bagaimana saya dapat menyesuaikan diri serta merta walaupun ada ketika terasa agak kekok.

saya kagum dengan mereka. mereka tidak seperti kanak-kanak biasa, yang cukup segala. terus terang, kadang-kadang saya rasa cemburu dengan kehidupan mereka. mereka bebas berfikir, melakukan apa yang mereka suka, apa yang mereka rasa mereka perlu lakukan.tapi saya tahu saya tamak untuk berfikiran begitu. sudah tentu mereka mahukan kehidupan normal seperti orang lain.

saya berbual dengan salah seorang di sana. masyaAllah dia mempunyai memori yang tajam. boleh mengingati setiap butir maklumat tentang keluarganya di kampung, keluarganya di rumah itu. saya agak terkejut ketika dia menceritakan tentang masalahnya. kasihan, seorang yang begitu genius bagi saya tidaklah sesempurna mana. Tuhan maha kaya.

Alhamdulillah, saya bersyukur diberi peluang untuk berjumpa dengan mereka. membuatkan saya lebih hargai apa yang saya ada walaupun tidaklah mewah. Mewah, bukanlah dari segi harta tetapi segala-galanya. Tak patut untuk kita rasa tidak cukup kerana sesungguhnya ada lagi yang kurang bernasib baik.

PIJAR

I made this for buka puase today. The Nasi Goreng Shitake with Deep Fry Fillet Ikan :)

But this is not what I want to blog about. Instead, I wanna talk about tangan pijar. U know, when u haf to hold chillis and suddenly the hands feel heaty :|

Being a N9-er, I absolutely can't avoid chillies in my cooking. But I can get pijar-ed easily and instantly.

1905pm- done with the cooking. hands gets more pijar. fanning n blowing hands to give cool air while waiting for azan maghrib

1922pm- azan! buke pose! still pijar but the mind was more focus on the food :P

1947pm- drink CEO Coffee. refreshing!

1949pm- start to realize the pijar is no more!

the point is , the coffee gets my pijar away. Weehee!

I tried googling simptom of tangan pijar but can'f find any. Tips to get off the pijar were plenty. Among them are gosok with air gram n then put hand on fire for a while (like WHAT??) saket kot!!

so im sticking with my coffee :) just a sip gets the pijar away love love!

oh but I tink I need a cooking glove next time. Hmm.. I can tahan saket but not pijar!!! So, out of curiosity... doctors/researchers/healthcheckers out there, any ideas on the simptoms of tangan pijar?

Ciao!

Bharu

something's wrong with my phone this morning. I set the alarm for sahur but it didn't ring. How do I know this? Because just now someone called and it doesn't vibrate or ring. lampu je kelip2. Urgh! Like all engineers (or just me haha) do, I restart the phone. And wallah! problem's solved :D *Gosh I miss IT Crowd!*

Nite Walk!

collected 2 out of 3 yesterday. So far, I am satisfied :) Warned Kakak to be careful with one of the collected items.

Oh! yesterday Dad decided to stay for the ceramah after terawih. But I wasn't in the mood and so I walked. I googled, and it was a 1.8km walk huhu. I never realized I enjoyed nite walking so much. Oh! and did I mention I walk with me telekung on? Classic ey ? :P

And ol 'classic' picture I manage to dig in :|

Subuh time! Chaloh!

p/s: Takziah kpd keluarga kejadian ribut di Jasin

Umang-ngaiiiii!!!

Mood: Maleh

Location: Melako

I am in Melako rite now.

Along the way back, I saw 2 accidents. Jam toruk! Lucky it was the other side of the road. Mine was longang. I received a lot of calls during the journey back, but of the bad accidents, I decided not to answer any of the calls :| Maaf la yo to those who called :| It's not my fault my hands-free rusak. It was broken the moment I bought it. And being me, I decided not to claim for a new free replacement :P

Anyway, I was upset with my radio keto. I think it got to do something with the band pass filter(??). The radio channels can easily lumpek to other stations. Pissed me off man! So I tuned to other channels and stumble onto this 1 station where bahaso ibundo se was the dialect used. The DJs were kelaka nk mampuih! So se layan yo lah station tu till i got home heh.

Sobona eh se x plan to go back pon today. In fact, I planned to stay longer at the new home. BIG REASON is, i got sooo maleh when Im in the comfort of my home, my bed. I can do absolutely nothing when im at home. But, abah se called on the 1st day of ramadan, and ask to go back bukak poso samo samo. Se taknak lah jadi anak derhako, se balik lah :)

And yerp, the moment I got home, I lay on the couch, yes LAY. and switch on the tv. Lucky it's ramadan, satans are tied up. now im going to pray :)

There u go. my very own rojak entri :)

p/s: 31st aug is around the corner but of the 1hour++ of driving, I only see 1 car togakkan bendero kek keto. the habit is not implemented anymore now?

E.X.C.I.T.E.D !

Amalkan membaca Surah Al Waaqiah setiap malam, insyaAllah mudah mendapat rezeki dan dijauhi dari kepapaan

This is me, turning over the new leaf :)

Time: 1018

Location: Bandar Puteri

I have been dragging cum weightlifting cum cardio-ing all my stuff to the new hse from the old hse as well as the permanent hse :| Thanks lil sis, Linn n Serk for helping out ;)

Will make sure everything is ready by noon. Can't bear any weight lifting anymore hoho.

Oh! We went Nite Walk Marathon the other day! It was fun fun fun!!! Ours was 5km. Yes, we are no athletes, so we dare not take risk :P

1st, we had to park the car FAR as the road was closed. That was 1.5km away from the starting line :| Then the marathon was 5km. And the way back was another 1.5km. So we walk/jog/run 8km that nite! My personal best time was ±40mins which I am soooo proud of :D Definitely will try other marathons after this and set a new record for my personal best :D

Till then, Ciao!

Too Many

What is wrong with me?

Service

I just feel the urge to tosh yet another entry. So here come another one for today.

***********************************************************************

I just send Babaji for a service maintenance the other day. It was it's 1st major service. I

paid almost RM500 for that service. That is A LOT of money to be thrown out just like that.

And that makes me think and wonder. People (who own cars) are willing to spend that much

for a car. Reason being, they want the car to function normally. They want their cars to be

able to carry them anywhere they want. They do not want something bad happen to the car

eg. broke down in the middle of the night which will only troubles the owner even more,

in terms of security as well as financial crisis to mend their cars.

But...

We often neglect the most important valuable thing given to us which is US. Have we been

maintaining ourselves as much as we service our cars? Imagine a car of 20years has not

been send to the workshop to be service, will it still work? I doubt so.

So...

Do spend on your body maintenance too. The 'engines' need to be clean, unclog and

refuel.Of all things, do not be stingy on yourselves. After all, we are the ones who is

going to deal with our own body later on. And we better make sure that it won't cause us

into any deep trouble. Surely we do not want the body 'broke down' in the middle of the

night. Or, any time of the day!! Then if we're lucky enough, we could go and send to the

'workshop' to be 'mend'.

A 2 cent from me that could be ponder by others InsyaAllah...

Terbalikkan Daun Baru

I've quit my job.

i remembered telling some friends, "if i were to leave my job, i would do it gracefully...in other word..i won't leave a bad repo". and i guess i did quite well. i got good notes and wishes from my ex colleagues, and judging from those, I wud say i managed to pull off the " harimau mati meninggalkan belang, manusia mati meninggalkan name" phrase. Hoho. Oh well, who would want to praise u except urself, rite? I am going to hold on to dat attitude for a while :P

im jotting down chop chip recipes. Planning to do some baking tomorrow :P Hope it turns out good :D

Cao~

I Do

I just watched the finale episode of the latest season.
Yes, Chuck Bass, I will marry you!!!!
Hadeih...

A friend told me about the mother who didn't take ice at all until she was in her 40's.
So I am forcing myself to a no-ice-at-all-routine for 2months...started a day after my birthday. We'll see how it goes.


Oh! Counting the days. Can't wait Thehehe...

Ta!

My first successful S

I was spring cleaning my phone -deleting unwanted things.

Then I came across this photo. This was taken when I was driving to Aizat's house. It was at a traffic lite. It was red. Everyone stopped. And there was a homeless man, eating under the flyover. Then the man in the car in front of me, rolled down the window and waved his hand towards the homeless man. Then he took out a bottle of mineral water and pointing it out to the homeless man.

I looked at the homeless man, he stopped eating. He looked at the man waving bottle at him with a puzzle look. I didn't dare to roll down my window but I guess the man in the car shouted something to the homeless man. Then he walked towards the car slowly. Too slow, the man in the car decided to put the bottle on the road, and let the homeless man took it from there instead.

This scenario shows that, Malaysian still has the generous heart after all.

Which reminds me of an article I read this morning. About a Russian who lost his passport and her travel docs. Lucky her, some orang asli helped her, giving her rice to eat and some cooking utensils for her to survive while she settles her problem with the immigration. And a fruit supplier who help raised money for her air tix.

Nice eh?

Oh! for the first time, I managed to to it right :D Woohoo!!

Iridology

helo.
F has been 'nagging' of not updating. ( i know u hate the word nag :P )
so here I am, trying to blab on TOSH.

Ermh..it's the world cup fever. But I dun get infected. Not like last time. Mainly because I do not own any TV. And I seldom ate outside during dinner. This year's is funny anyway. Underdogs rule. My alltime fav is not playing anymore, so I dun haf any more reason to watch football. Haha...Being bimbo on football.
No, I dun watch football because of the hawtnness of the players. I look for the skills. Well, looks play tiiiinnny bit of my fondness towards football :P

My last date will be on the 16th. Confirmed by HR. A collegue's last date was yesterday. But she is still in the office doing work at 737pm :| TODAY! crazy.
I hope I don't haf to be like her :|

cau cin!
TA!!

Father's Day

Yesterday was father's day. I wished him...like always. But this year, he replied me differently. Differently, it made me cry..literally. He wasn't a person who shows his feeling easily. But I was so touched with his words they made me go all emo-y (plus, I was marathoning GA which never fails to 'enlighten' me with the dramas).
Ayah,
Yes, we too never really show how much we love you. But we do. So thank you :)

To all children out there, do wish your father a Happy Father's Day and love n pray for their best. Ameen..

Confirmed

i've quit my job ppl and I haf no regret whatsoeva. the last date will be on the 19th July 2010. Happy2 :D I've told daddy bout dis. and about my future plan. and he agrees with a little hesitation. Haha... As of 20th July 2010, I will be doing Shor full time until I get an offer in the field I am interested in. InsyaAllah :)

Procrastinating!

I have been hi-protein dieting this past 20 days. Honestly speaking, I have not doing it right, most prolly because I dun rili know how huhu. I just cut on my carbo intake.

Anyways, a friend ask me what is your target for doing this diet? I said I don't have any. I simply do it because I just learn it from a friend. Then it struck me. I should have set a target. If not, I do this diet for nothing. Stupid I know. After 20 days only Im setting a target. So my target is ..to prove that this diet actually works. I have a habit of not believing anything ppl say unless I really see the prove. This friend of mine who told me about this diet, referred her sister as the prove, whom I have never met before. So now I am treating myself as my own lab rat.
So today, I am back to day 1. Reason I am doing this diet is to build muscle and to lose some fat. I don't have the scale to measure my fats. I only have the measuring tape to measure my body :P I am targeting the arms, hips and thigh. So all data has been written down. We'll see how I do in a month :)
Oh! and this time I am going to do it right. I have gugel a bit on the proper way of doing this diet and this time, I am going to add in a little pilates :D

I have been reading this book by Kiyosaki. It was really good. Everyday, I can't wait to go back home to read this book( I dun like to bring books anywhere I go). I have finished it yesterday and I've already bought another of Kiyosaki's. Hehe...
But I can't start on the new one yet as I have another book which I borrowed and need to be return to fast. Ok ok..Balik bace buku yeehaa!!

Oh! sume bos outstation. And I decided to procrastinate weehee~

Kota Keriangan

I just watched Adventureland. At first I thot it was a kids' movie. Then after looking at the ad, I thot it was just a dumbo normal stupid teen movie. But I actually enjoyed it. Of course it wasn't Iron Man 2 like. A definite no no. It's a pretty cool teen movie haha.
I usually like macho2 men, but I like this Brennan character. Jesse Isenberg played this character. He's definitely a cutie. Oh! maybe I drool over his hot hairstyle. Ooh La Laa...
All in all, it's a good bedtime movie :)
Gonna wash up and sleep.

NITE!

p/s: da lame x main bumper car. Urgh

Ti- Ket

got my 1st ticket!!!!!.....for speeding. urgh..can't a girl drive her car with the car's speed limit? No??
Oh! Hope I wake up early tomorrow. So I won't get the same ticket again and again :P

Oh! semangat utk main badminton telah terpadam.

Listening to Buble-u're nobody until somebody loves u. Listening to the blowers. Mak aih. Kagum!

I was at a park. Then I saw a figure looks a lot like my ex-schoolmate. He was the most baddest-est person EVER live..Well, at least during my school years. But I was not sure. It has been..~14 years x jumpe. Not sure whether he is who i thot he is. So I decided not to tegor him huhuh...Tapi now I regret it. Adeih

Bai.

Family Affairs

Yesterday was 9th May. It was Izwan's 19th Birthday.It was also the 2nd sunday of the month, which is the Mom's Day. And so we went to celebrate @ VS. The food was lovely. The service was fast eventho the place is packed.
Oh! we planned to have the cake cutting blowing candles ceremony later sebab x cukop korum. Idayu was at school so she cannot join us yesterday.

The day before yesterday, we went to a Agogo 60's dinner. All the 60's singers performed on that day. Jaafar Onn and Abon were the host for the nite and their combination was damn brilliant. I thot Abon was rili funny. He surely can make ppl laugh with his spontan jokes. Many ppl came with bell bottoms n polka dots n sideburns n Saloma-type-dress. Haha..It sure was fun. It was a fund raising dinner for the veteran artists with cancer and heart problems. And daddy is a BIG FAN of the 60's (yerp, he is old), so he participated in the donation. There were more than 15 singers performed. And each of them were given 2 songs to sing. What I can noticed from the dancers is that, 1 for each to memorize a song..and the others will folo the steps. I think they are really pro at this by looking at their maintain cool faces when the steps routine change.

60's Singers

Oh! I am hi-protein dieting. It has been... 5 days hahaha. So far, it went ok. Of course it is hard to avoid carbs esp tepong! Mak aih..I can't believe how A LOT of makanan made of tepong. I am trying to continue this diet for another 1 week and 2 days. See how it goes. If Im ok, I will continue for a month plak hahaha..Reason to diet...Because I've gained 2 frikking Kgs since I got back from KK. Taleh2.
Oh! N I try as much as I can to push myself to exercise. So far, a 2rounds around the tasik jogging, and a 1hr walk up n down hill hahaha! Thot of jog after work today but I cant bare more pile of workload. NEED to clear everything hehe..

Hm..Consulted daddy and he asked to consult with my GM before I send in my resignation letter. But the GM is MC plak today. So hoping for a brighter day tomorrow :)

Toodles~

Besok Hari Sabtu!!!

Read a friend's blog.

Suggested by a fren

After reading hers, I just realized how unhappy my entries have been lately

Hers was all joy n cheerful.

Mine was almost dull n full of everything not happy

I am reading a book called Quranic Law of Attraction

i've only read like few pages.

But what I can get from the very few pages is...

law of attractions can be define: everything u think of will be attracted to you

be it positive or negative thinking

as long as u rili focus into getting the thing u desire

err..or something like dat hahaha

so im trying to be as positive as I can

to attract all the good vibes

and getting the things I want :)

InsyaAllah

Dear God,

Let me be firm with the decisions Im going to take

and help me with making the right decision

Amin...
