MELAKA MAJU 2010

10.10.10, has became a tarikh keramat to many2 people around the world.

But I would appreciate this coming date more- 20th Oct 2010.

Yerp, it is the date where my very own hometown MELAKA, will be celebrating the MELAKA MAJU 2010. hence the date 20.10 2010 is being chosen.

I was born in Hospital Besar, Melaka. I have been living in Melaka since the day I was born. But I have never been a good Melakan.

Why so:

1) Mom n Dad are both N9ers. I was raised as a N9er.

2) My fav dish would be all those masak lemak tempoyaks and cili apis. Only recently I favour asam pedas.

Can't resist this pucuk masak lemak tempoyak with udang rite!

3) I hate cencaluk.

4) I don't know the way around Melaka (ok this reason is applicable to any cities in the world hoho)

5) I don't speak the Melakan's dialect well. It would sound stupid if I do :|

Nevertheless.... I still love Melaka *Hugs*

Why so:

1) I hardly had heavy traffic here in Melaka. I don't mind going back and forth to the same place many2 times!

2) I can go to any districts of Melaka and no toll fares charge on me what so ever!!

3) It has been my longest dream to have a peaceful surroundings and kampung /old skool style of living. I may consider settling down in Melaka huhu.

Can you get this beautiful tangga elsewhere?

4) Being single and living with the parents and be spoiled, save my daily expenses :D

5) The state is so small, you won't end up lost at the end of the day hoho.

I am patriotic. During the early years studying history, I enjoyed it so much as it was of Melaka. I love my Melaka as much as I love my Malaysia :D

Happy Maju Melaka!!!

Signing off,

Loyal Melakan...

Ciao!

Dear Dear Alarm

This morning was funny.

I often snooze my alarm. Most of the times, I will miss my Subuh prayer. Thanks to this video, I tried as much to win over the Satan.

So this morning, I woke up to my alarm. Snooze it. And immediately wake up after the 2nd snooze and performed my prayer.

After the prayer, I looked at the watch, and it is only 545am!!! And Subuh only starts at 545am. Adeih!!

Then I realized, the alarm I woke up to was my sahur alarm. And I thought I've missed my sahur.

Frustrated, I went back to bed, hoping to wake up to my real Subuh alarm. But tak bangun jugak!!! Sengal ey?

Nways, alhamdulillah, in 17mins, I manage to puasa 6 yey!

Gonna prep for my break fast.

Ta!

Series of Cerita

watched Tun Mahathir's musical. I have to be frank. I don't like it. There were only 3 scenes I enjoyed :-

1) The Poster Hanging ( I love the bushy haired guy like always =p~ )

2) The Romantic Scene of Mahathir and Siti Hasmah

3) The playback video when Tun decided to announce his resignation at the UMNO meeting

Blame me trying to compare this play with PGL, with Pramlee musical, with CUCI musical, but I am only a person, who enjoys this kind of play and somehow Tun's musical don't intrigue me..at all. I adore TUn, but not this play. Kind of disappointed actually.

Last nite I watched Eat Pray Love. I have been waiting for this movie since forever. I don't read the book, but I super love Julia Roberts, hence the excitement of watching this movie overflow with nothingness hoho. Buttttt....the movie was just okay. I guess if it wasn't Jules Roberts, the movie would be plain :|

Tomorrow will be my 6th insyaAllah :)

Now sleepy head wanna sleep. Sweet dreams ppl!

0001111

I stumble onto this. Go find other vids of them.Play the playlist on utube. Hilariously funny. So far, I like this one the most esp the binary solo part LOBL!

Kereta Bapaku Rosak

Daddy's car broke down yesterday.Being a good daughter, I...............didn't know it until he asked me to drop him off to pick his all-well-spark plug-free-problem-car hehe. It was a good ride until he drop me some 'advice'. Adeih! Jangan la begitu bapak.

Super Something

It's Monday.
Gosh time flies fast.
Daddy send him off yesterday evening.
We sent her couple of minutes later.
She went back early this morning.
As for me...I'm contemplating.

Oh! she finally going back to the E zone.

Goodluck with that sis!

I just had a eureka moment while doing yoga just now;

I blog at all times.

When Im sad.

When Im extremely happy.

When I have absolutely nothing to do.

When Im sick and selfless.

Blogging is my newest hobby!

He showed me something.

Which made me realize;

There are still people who care.

So thanks very much dude!

Oh! This year I still receive duit raya Weehee!!!

So should I go shopping? Or save like a good person? :|

I really need some new clothes.

And I still owe my dearest Ji some makeovers.

And I promised myself some wonderful vacation trip nxt year.

Decisions Decisions Decisions....

Love this song! Enjoy :)

p/s: Checkout abang percussion at the back :D

JOM!

y

We went to visit 3 houses yesterday.

2 of them were open houses.

There were all mom's siblings.

Yerp. she has 12 siblings altogether.

And we still have not visited all of them for raya. Yet.

And upon reaching home yesterday,

i felt sick.

Stomach feeling all gassy.

Severe headache.

I slept from 10pm to 130am.

Isyak.

Had some shake.

Sleep until 630am.

Subuh.

Continue sleeping until Izwan woke me for lunch at 2pm :|

But the pain was still there.

I planned to go to Sue's wedding tomorrow.

But has to b cancelled :(

Sorry babe :(

Praying hard this pain will go away soon insyaAllah.

to Camy dearest,

haf fun tomorrow n congrats babe!! yey!

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

new template yet again haha! super tade keje :|

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!*

ok ive shared this in FB, but feel like putting it here as well. Super enjoyable. Love em to bits! It will totally b cool to b trying this. Jom!

Oh I remembered while watching SATC2, a friend suggested we try this routine as well. Come on! Orang tue pon boleh buat. big JOM!

WELCOME ZEST!

Today is definitely my none productive day.

...

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

±40 mins :D

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
