I Think This Is Beautiful...Don't U?

Survivor Fever

I was watching tv and saw and advert on Top Shot. Then I saw a glimpse of the host. I googled and Walaweh!!

So after that, I feel the sudden urge to continue marathoning my Survivor20 (been trying to watch it in 1 shot but I couldn't stand the pressure after watching each episodes). Now it's azan and I paused and suddenly thought of Ethan Zohn!!! My most fav survivor EVER. So I googled and oh he just survived cancer and is now in remission. Oh oh my. :(

K dah habes azan. Mari sambong survivorrrrrr

tak sangke

something happened today. stupid!

related to my entry dated 25th Nov.

Damn.

It definitely took toll on me.

tapi bak kate pepatah;

sesal dahulu pendapatan,

sesal kemudian...serves me hell right!

ok..still in recovery state. emo haywire masih :| jadi mari kite tgk gamba yg comel utk stress relief.hmm.

Awal Muharram

i snap at someone today. probably because of my discomfortness. n maybe i was overwhelmed by the brothers n sisters series i watched on tv just now. the girl was whining and the mom told her to just suck it up. Yeah, that is what i shud do now. SUCK IT UP IRIZIS!

saw a friend's status in FB. I know tomorrow is Awal Muharram. But I forgot the prayer recital before and after part. Thanks for the technology, insyaAllah i will recite em prayers today :)

So it is another year ends. Nothing much was accomplished? Praying hard the next year will be blessful Amin..

Laughter is the best medicine?

Sometimes annoying jokes are really fun :D I have been youtub-ing most of the series. Stupid!

addictive

i dun have new friends.

i just recycle :|

n ppl say im evil??

Fun-neh!

Bagiku, P. Ramlee bijak.

Filem-filem komedinya sangat mencuit hati.

Aku masih boleh ketawa walaupun telah berkali-kali menontonnya.

Memang evergreen.

Zaman 90-an, Pi Mai Pi Mai Tang Tu menjadi kegemaranku.

Kini, aku tidak mempunyai sitkom favourite.

Walau bagaimanapun, lawak Afdlin, Johan dan Zizan aku suka.

Sungguh bersahaja.

Clips of P.Ramlee I found and would like to share :) Enjoi!

My Long Lost Visitor

OMG! OMG! OMG!

Guess who's finally came to visit after sooo long????

Diwali

Do we still visit our neighbours nowadays?

I know I don't.

Not in Ara Damansara.

Not in Bandar Puteri.

But I must be grateful to have my parents.

Who still treasures the traditional way of living.

And still instilling this culture to us.

Where we still visit the neighbours.

And take care of the people around us.

It feels good to reconnect back with old friends / neighbours.

To learn things from them.

New interesting things.

To all Hindus,

Happy Deepavali :)

Serve Allah And Associate None With Him. Show Kindness To Your Parents And Kinsfolk, And To The Orphans, To The Needy, To Your Near And Distant Neighbors, To Your Fellow‑Travelers, To The Wayfarer, And To What Your Right Hands Possess: For Allah Loves Not The Arrogant And Haughty Men.

(Surah 4: Ayah 36)

p/s: i promised myself to read as many books as possible. There were too many books I have halfly read. Got to finish all of them InsyaAllah. As of now, i am alternating between Biografi Muhammad bin Abdullah and Awaken the Giant Within. Let's see how fast I can finish these 2 books.

The newest attraction?

i am selfish. i know. but i can't help it! how meh??

from the bottom of my heart, i am sorry :)

nways, we went and checked out the new monorel of Melaka. Tada~ so cute and small :P

i was too excited looking at the monorel coming towards the station n i forgot to take out my camera phone soon enough. hence the bad quality of picture and angle and everything :|

Alamak!

Ramai cakap orang veteran selalunya hebat. Ye ke? Mungkin diorang banyak pengalaman, tapi tak semestinye tahu semue bende. Tak semestinye ape yang diorang buat, selari dengan dunie kini. Mungkin pengajaran yang dipelajari dulu, x relevan dgn zaman baru. Lagi bagus kalau veteran dan amatur bekerjasama. Kan?

Aku tengah tengok 1 cerite melayu di tv. Ade jugak eh orang macam ni :|

Oh! Semalam saket tekak. Harini running nose plak. X best betol!

X sabar tunggu besok. Walaupun aku rase result x best mane, biar ar hoho..

Semalam aku dgr lagu ni di radio. Macam best plak. Enjoi! :)

=p~

Comel kan???!!! He is officially my most fav person to look at right now! This is the best picture of him that I can find (yes, he kinda not photogenic to me) but he is cute to look at on tv/ video. Caerrr!!

And please check out his choreographer. Coolness ok!

1.12

just finished watching glee. Love the britney episode. n love love Brittany S. Pierce's hawtness. woohoo!!

I was not a big fan of britney spears, but true enough I kinda grew up with her, so I know most of her songs.

we started our own biggest loser program. Me being very not consistent. First I just want to be the judge. Then decided to join in the fun. Then suddenly I think I need to gain instead of lose. Blurgh! Whatever it is, like Coach Hani said, the end result matters the most :) So let's exercise and eat healthily people!

Gonna take my bath and do healthy groceries afterwards. Ta!

Chillax

I am a BIGG fan of sitcoms. From the most sitcoms I love, I can observe one thing. They always have a place to hang out; a bar, coffee bistro, restaurant. And I think it would be cool if me and my friends have a place to chillax too. We could have our own fav restaurant, our own reserved table, all the staff know us and we can laugh our hearts out like no other business :P

Then I remembered this one incident when me n sis live together. We were working, at the normal working hours. Obviously we do not have time to cook for ourselves. Plus, the house condition was so inconvenient to b cooking any meals. So we always had most of our meals at this nearby gerai. The food was not bad, suits our taste bud. The ambiance was ok, so yeah, we OFTEN be seen there. Then this one 'fine' day, when we want to pay for our food, the cashier cum waitress asked us one irritating question, "awak ni x masak ke kat rumah?"

adoi!!! kitorg pegi kedai tu bknnye selalu berhutang kak! byr je selalu. kasi untung gak kt akak. akak nk kecoh saye masak ke..x masak ke apehal????

IF we were to have our own fav place to hang out, I will make sure we choose the place properly. No hassle staff whatsoeva :|

Oih Loopers. Lame x hangout. JOM!

Alhamdulillah :)

Monday was weird.

I was shopping for my groceries (woohoo!!). Total price was RM55.55. I almost joke with the cashier, that she should bet on that number, but of course I didn't. Hoh.

Then as I walked off the market, a man stopped me asking me to claim for my free mug. It's free, so y not?

Then he said I should fill up a form. Just the simple full name and IC and phone no. Then he handed me a sealed card. He asked me to tear it. I asked y. He said this is a lucky draw. Either I get some container or a voucher worth RM100 or I get nothing. I don't usually stop and listen to people to promote their products (yes I am that bad :| ) but their strategy of handing free stuff first works tremendously. Cudos to them. So back to the lucky draw thingy, I tore and saw 2 pictures with RM100 word on it. I showed the card to the sales man, he looked at it, then he asked me:

Sales Man: Kak! Ni kad yang saye kasi akak tadi ke?

Me: Ha yelah. Kenape??

Sales Man: Eh! kejap eh kak. Saye cek dgn staf lain.

(went to consult other staff)

Sales Man: Akak! akak tau x ape yg akak menang ni?

Me: Ha ape?

Sales Man: Ni sume kad2 yang orang lain dah bukak(while showing other cards). Tade 1 pon mcm akak. Akak ni bace ape mase koyakkan kad ni? Akak bace bismillah ke?

Me: (Smirk..and still not realizing I won big!)

The sales man was still in shock and consult another staff. The other staff told him to call the HQ to confirm. Then the phone was handed to me.

HQ: Selamat petang ye puan. Boleh puan bacekan ape yang puan menang?

Me: (Read as on the card)

HQ: Di blkg kad tu ade bar code, boleh puan bacekan utk saye?

Me: (Read the bar code to the HQ ppl)

Then only I realize I did win big. I asked the sales man what actually happened. I won about Rm6k worth of products! And with the RM100 voucher, I swipe my CIMB credit card and I got another free gift! All in all, I won almost RM7k of stuff!!! After checking with the HQ, I was the 7th out of 10 lucky people in Malaysia who won the lucky draw. Huhu...

The conditions for winning that lucky draw were:

1) I can't sell all the stuff I won

2) I have to promote the products every time people come to my house hahaha. So the co is Electrofast :D There u go. Promoting's done :D

3) I haf to take pictures to be put in the BH as the lucky winner. I was not at my best to be frank. My initial intention was to only buy groceries! Y do I need to dress up right? Fortunately, because of the over enthusiasm situation, they forgot to take mine so fuhh selamat :D

So the manager came to the store to congratulate me. Then after demo-ing all the stuff I won, the sales man helped me to load all the stuff inside my car.

I was hungry. haven't had lunch and it was already 9pm. So when the sales man asked me to go for a drink with him, I agreed ! :| Only because it was at the mall itself. And I was in a happy mood.

Haha.

Too many weird things happen. We never know where the rezeki could come from. Syukur alhamdulillah :)

Oh u know what, of the chaos and over excited scene, they forgot to give the free mug to me ahahaha

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

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!
