Ikan Emas.

2008-04-30T23:40:00.004+08:00

Saya ada 5 ekor ikan emas. Ikan emas saya kini berada di rumah. Mama yang tolong jagakan ikan emas saya. Sebenarnya saya ada perasaan takut untuk membela ikan emas. Saya takut sejarah akan berulang kembali. Saya pernah membela tiga ekor ikan emas yang berwarna emas, hitam dan putih. Tetapi mati selepas hari kelima. Tambahan pula akuarium pecah ketika proses menukar air. Selamat saya tanam ketiga-tiga di bawah pokok mangga.

Beberapa bulan lepas Mama beli tiga ekor ikan emas yang agak serupa. Dua minggu kemudian, tinggal seekor sahaja. Saya namakan yang seekor itu Ayushita, sempena lagu bertajuk Jangan Bilang Tidak yang kerap didengar. Saya rasa kasihan pada yang seekor itu. Lantas selepas ziarahi pusara ayahanda, saya mengajak semua ke kedai untuk membeli ikan emas sebagai teman hidup yang seekor itu. Ingatkan mahu beli 3 sahaja. Satu yang serupa seperti Ayushita, dan dua lagi spesis ikan emas yang lain. Tapi saya terbeli lebih satu. Kini, ikan emas yang serupa seperti Ayushita ada dua. Tiga termasuk Ayushita. Namanya Raffi dan Mouldy Peach. Dua ekor lagi saya berikan nama Yovie dan Nuno, sempena lagu kegemaran Jaja.

Inilah ikan emas saya.

Ramai pasti berkata-kata yang saya tak dapat nak bezakan pon mana satu Ayushita, Raffi, Mouldy Peach, Yovie dan Nuno. Tidak benar sekali. Saya mampu bezakan dengan senang. Warna Ayushita adalah gabungan emas dan putih yang seimbang. Raffi pula mempunyai warna putih melebihi warna emas. Warna Moldy Peach emas keseluruhannya. Yovie pula berlainan mata, kiri lain kanan lain. Dan Nuno mempunyai secalit warna hitam dibahagian ekornya. Senang bukan?

Mama kata ikan emas saya ini semakin manja. Bila datang dekat, semuanya bergerak ke dinding akuarium, minta disuapkan makanan. Makan mereka tiga kali sehari, menjadikan Yovie dan Nuno semakin hari semakin besar. Mama lantas menjadi geram sehingga mahu mencucuk perut Yovie dan Nuno dengan jarum. Bulat sangat katanya.

Sudah lama saya tak menjenguk ikan saya ini. Saya merindui ikan-ikan saya ini. Bila lagi akan pulang ke Sitiawan saya tidak lah tahu. Yang pasti bukan hujung minggu ini. Saya bakal menduduki peperiksaan minggu hadapan. Doakan saya ya. Ayushita, Raffi, Mouldy Peach, Yovie dan Nuno, doakan saya juga ya. Nanti saya pulang. Saya janji. Daa.

Wishlist for May

2008-04-25T15:34:00.005+08:00

Ok. It's compact, and not compaq. For no reason, I am now a bash subject. Haha.

I'm eying on Skin Food's White Grape Fresh Pact since my Body Shop's All in One Face Base no 05 cracked and all left is debris of the powder which scatter all over the place. Now that I think Body Shop is a bit overrated and that Skin Food is way cheaper than Body Shop, I am going to buy it as soon as May comes. Or maybe even before. Just need to make sure that I don't buy anything else in May then.

Extremely light pact with fine powder particles glides onto skin, making skin look silky. Potent natural ingredients moisturize, nourish and protect the skin. Silicon-treated powder effectively controls excess sebum. Soft Focus powder minimizes appearances of skin pores. Provides light to medium coverage. Suitable for all skin types.

And I think I'm going to grab the Black Bean Eye Line Pencil as well.

Eyeliner pencil suitable even for sensitive skin. Moisturizes your eyes with black bean nutrients.

These two items will only cost less than RM80, I guess, which I don't think Body Shop offers a similar price for a compact powder and an eye-liner. Let's see whether if I'll just get them this weekend or if I manage to wait till Thursday. Huhu.

By the way, Cikgu Fuziah and Cikgu Sarah is coming today. And Pak Cu will be back from Sri Lanka tomorrow. Wei hei hei. :D

Quoted in Taiping.

2008-04-20T20:43:00.004+08:00

I have just came back from a leadership course in Taiping, Perak. It wasn't that bad, in fact, I had enjoyed the three-day course after all. The input given was excellent and very useful. The tasks were helpful in developing our understanding of our job scope. The facilitators (IPBA lecturers) were kind and supportive, except for one, which I don't want to talk about. The place was great. There was no room for us to feel hungry at all, we were fed five times a day. Each and every time, we had a different thing to eat. Heaven.

Of all the sessions, I particularly enjoyed this one session by the oldest and funniest lecturer in IPBA. He gave us some input about leadership and asked us to choose one animal that represent leadership. My group had chosen an elephant along with another group. Other groups had chosen bee, ant, lion and horse. We had to draw the animal on a mahjong paper and later explain why we had chose that particular animal. Being him, he always give funny comments that left us rolling on the floor laughing. And being me, I always jot down the funny things that lecturers of IPBA have said. So, here goes.

He was explaining something about aura that leaders have and that the aura comes from the heart.

'Dalam diri kita ni ada hati (putting both his hand on his tummy).'

On ant:

'Ant has got many legs.....bagus untuk main bola ye.'

'Semut boleh angkat berat 10 kali ganda berat dia. Kalau kamu jadi leader semut, maknanya kamu jadi leader angkat berat.'

On firefly:

'Kecik kunang-kunang ni, kena guna horoskop nak tengok.'

'Kunang-kunang ni ada cahaya. Burung nak tangkap senanglah..... eeeeeeeee iiiuuuuunnnggggg.'

On lion:

'Singa ni, hari-hari menghadapi satu cabaran dalam hidup dia iaitu mengejar haiwan lain untuk dijadikan makanan'.'

Eh, I thought that every animal has to find something to eat and not just lion. Haha. I laughed non-stop during his session. Life was pleasure. True enough, as he gave us this quotation.

'When work is joy, life is pleasure.'

p/s: If you want to imagine how this lecturer looks like, try to think of Mr. Wilson from Dennis the Menace The Movie. They definitely look alike.

In denial.

Hati yang bulat.

2008-04-14T22:50:00.005+08:00

Bulatkan hati. Biar selaras dengan bentuk muka dan bentuk badan sendiri. Hati kena bulat. Tekad. Nekad. Jangan pandang belakang. Terasa bulatan hati goyah dengan sms ibunda? Kuatkan kuda-kuda. Pacak batang pisang jangan biar todak menyerang lagi. Jangan biarkan air mata menitis berjujuran. Cukup sudah 3 hari. Eh, bercucuran lah, berjuraian. Bukan berjujuran. Huks. Kini rasanya sudah tekad dan nekad dengan keputusan yang dibuat. Keputusan yang rasanya macam melibatkan hidup dan mati. Sudah tahu nak membelok ke simpang mana di sebuah persimpangan dilema. Rujukan pon telah dibuat. Jauh nun di Sri Lanka. Rujukan saya pon telah memberikan kata-kata persetujuan, kata-kata perangsang. Lebih tekad rasanya. Tekad? Ya, saya tekad dan nekad. Saya dah isi borang itu. Saya dah letak negeri pilihan penempatan. Saya letak sekali daerah dan kawasan yang saya mahukan dalam catatan tambahan.

Negeri mana jadi pilihan?
Selangor Darul Ehsan.

Kenapa Selangor?
Kerana saya mahu mencuba nasib di tempat baru. Dan kalau boleh, tidak mahu menggunakan kabel yang ada untuk mendapatkan tempat di sesebuah sekolah.

Daerah mana jadi pilihan?
Daerah Kuala Selangor dan Daerah Sabak Bernam.

Kenapa Daerah Kuala Selangor dan Daerah Sabak Bernam?
Kerana saya merasakan kos hidup tidaklah tinggi di kedua-dua kawasan itu. Kawasan itu juga tidak dikongkong oleh urbanisasi (seperti mana Kuala Lumpur) malah tidak lah juga ketinggalan atau terlalu kekampungan. Kedudukan geografi kedua-dua daerah ini adalah di dalam laluan perjalanan Sitiawan-Kuala Lumpur. Lantas, memudahkan saya pulang ke Sitiawan dan juga beronggeng di Kuala Lumpur.

Ada bandar tambahan?
Ada. Shah Alam.

Kenapa Shah Alam?
Tak tahu. Ini saya memang tak tahu. Rujukan saya di Sri Lanka yang mencadangkan Shah Alam dan saya rasa tak ada salahnya kalau saya letak Shah Alam.

Begitulah. Selama 3 hari konflik saya rasakan. Air mata pon banyak yang tumpah. Benda lain boleh pulak tak nangis. Isu negeri pilihan penempatan pulak yang ditangisi. Cis. Dah. Hantar borang tu kat tQa. Biar tiada tangan yang gatal pegi tukar kawasan yang dimahukan. Bukan tangan je yang gatal. Biar tiada fikiran atau perasaan yang bergolak lagi. Sudahlah. Zas.

Selamat Hari Jadi IV

2008-04-12T12:33:00.004+08:00

Happy 28th Birthday, Along!

'Getting married is like having a donut in front of you but there are so many barriers that stopped you from getting the donut' (Najib, 2008).

Haha. Eleh Najib. At least you already have Soya. Huh.

That's one quote coming from a man with few words. Well, he used to be one. Thanks to Soya and her wonders. Alah lah. And now, let's hear from the man with lots of funny quotes. Thanks to an email fowarded by Jaja.

*drum roll*

Dato' Seri Samy Vellu.

*clap clap*

Samy Vellu on Pos Laju: 'Besok kirim, hari ini sampai.'

On TV, when he was trying to say that he was ashamed: 'Kemaluan saya besar.'

During a public talk:
SV: 'Kita akan bina satu jambatan untuk orang-orang kampung di sini."
Pak cik: 'Dato', di sini tiada sungai, buat apa bina jambatan?'
SV: 'Kalau takde sungai, kita bina sungai!'

He's favourite quotes on national television: 'Toll naik sikit, manyak marah saya. You ingat semua ini toll saya punya bapa punya kah?!'

During a water crisis: 'Semua orang diminta jangan membuang aiyerrr..!'

On social problems among youngsters: 'Orang-orang muda sekarang banyak hisap dada.'

During a blood donation campaign in Sg Siput: 'Marilah kita semua menderma dara.'

In his speech in different functions: 'Selamat datang saudara-mara semua.'

During the height of the Al-Arqam saga: 'Saya gembira bahawa didapati tiada pemuda MIC terlibat dalam kes Arqam.'

In an opening ceremony: 'Mempersilakan Datin Paduka Rafidah Aziz naik ke pentas untuk membuka kain.'

Commenting about his modesty (again): 'Sebenarnya, kemaluan saya sangat-sangat besar.'

On squatters area:

Announcement and Giant

2008-03-29T22:13:00.003+08:00

My sisters and I went to Giant today. As soon as we got out of the car, this is what we heard.

Announcer: Attention staff from the ladies depart. Staff from the ladies depart.
The three of us: Aaa? Depart? Ape tu? Hahahaha.
Announcer: Attention staff from the ladies depart.
The three of us: Hahahahahaha.
Me: Depart pegi mane ni weh?

And this, when we got out of Giant.

Me: Takde announcement ke ni? Hahaha.
In an instant.
Announcer: Attention staff from the cashier depart. Mr F****** from cashier depart.
Jaja: Haa tu. Hahahahahaha. Nak sangat.

And I remember the time Jaja and I went there a few months ago.

Announcer: Attention to all customer, Giant will be opened until twels midnights tonight.
Both of us: Twels midnights? Hahahaha.

No, I didn't mean to laugh. But come to think of it, you need to make announcement using the right words and the right pronounciation. Depart, maybe a short one for department. But depart has another meaning. And, twels midnights? I just can't help but to laugh.

I woke up this morning to Mama's phone call. She told me that she's going to perform another round of umrah somewhere in the end May. This time around, she going with Atok, Nenek, Arep, Pak Cu and Mak Cu. I am happy for her, for the news but I can't help feeling envy and jealous that Arep is going. When she told me that Pak Cu asked Atok to bring her instead of him, I was hoping that what she's going to say next is, 'I'm taking all of you as well.' Well, as you probably have guessed, no, that's not what she said. She's taking Arep along so that he'll already have the experience when he needs to take us or his wife later. I understand that. I understand that, insyaAllah, I'll have my husband to guide me and to take me to the Holy land to perform both umrah and hajj. But, umrah is something big. Something very spiritual and personal and private that I guess when your parents take one of your siblings along and not you, deep down inside you feel jealous. No matter what the reason is or how valid the reason is for not taking you along. So right now, after 14 hours hearing the news, I'm still a bit sad and disappointed that I am not able to go with them. Alah lah.

Laugh laugh.

2008-03-17T20:06:00.007+08:00

Despite of today's busy-ness and hangin-ness, I had a good laugh during the Professional Development lecture by Dr. Rajagopal.

'If an engineer made a mistake, only one building will collapse. Look at MRR2.'

Haha. Sir, MRR2 is not a building.

'Whatever you've learnt in England, New Zealand and Auckland.'

Haha. Sir, Auckland is in New Zealand. I know you wanted to say Australia.

'GU is kegelapan and RU is cahaya. So, guru means dari kegelapan kepada keceriaan.'

Haha. Sir, it's kecerahan and not keceriaan.

Of which he answered, 'Never mind lah. You all understand me, don't you.'

Haha.

And, I still couldn't understand why more than half of the students did not find these amusing and bermuka ketat during the lecture. Have a bit of fun in your life, boleh tak?

Fresh from bed.

2008-03-16T23:25:00.007+08:00

Coincidence? Maybe. This is entry number 150, the first one since thelilmindofmine has a new appearance. Pure coolness. Haha. Well, I was already bored with the green layout I had previously, and changing the blog colour to pink-purple doesn't really do any good either. Thus, the new layout.

I am now back in IPBA after one good break despite the fact that I fell ill a few days ago and still have to swallow the antibiotics prescribed by the doctor. I blame the weather in the northern part of Malaysia for my sickness. Haha.

So how did I spend my one week break?

I voted for the first time during the recent general election. Auntie Kiah made my day a few hours before the voting took place. I had just woken up and went straight to the door to have a chat with Auntie, Uncle, Azhar and Mama.

Auntie: Eh, ada orang potong rambut lah. Comelnya.
Alin: (Dalam hati berkata-kata, 'dah lama potong la', tersenyum-senyum sipu).
Auntie: Orang kata, kalau nak tengok someone tu lawa ke comel ke tak, tengoklah time orang tu baru bangun tido.
Alin: Maknanya, Alin comel lah ni?
Auntie: Comel.
Alin: Alah lah (tersipu-sipu senyum lagi).

Haha. A good start for the day eh? So, the day continued and I went to cast my vote in SK St Francis. I was too tired to wait for the results so I asked Azwan to give me all the updates. Travelled to Guar Chempedak on the next day to attend Wani's wedding and arrived just in time for her akad nikah. FYI, I sat on her left side through the whole akad process. Ambik berkat eh. Spend a few hours at her house while waiting for other friends to arrive. The boys wanted to go to Penang and we decided to come along. Another ferry ride after 15 years. Macam jakun sikit naik feri. Haha. So after another night spent at Chinot's house, I returned home. My nose started bleeding the next day, not dripping blood kind of thing, but everytime I sneeze, there's blood in the mucus. I was flat for the next two days, was down with fever and almost had an asthma attack. Thank God for precaution pills.

On Thursday, I felt better and since it was Mama's birthday, I bought her a cake, Mango Delight from Secret Recipe. We went to KL on Friday, Jaja had cooked dinner so we invited Mak Cu and co. as well. Travelled to Melaka the next day to visit Arep, and had lunch at Kenny Rogers. Came back, had a short rest and had a dinner treat at TGI Friday Subang Parade. Thanks to Mak Cu and Celcom. Mak Cu was given a bonus, you see. Haha. This morning, we went to Amcorp Mall. Mama was looking for brooches or sepit rambut kind of things to wear with her headscarves but she ended up buying something else. I didn't buy anything except for Caramel Creme Frap from Starbucks. Back in IPBA, I spent a few hours moping and tidying up my locker, had lunch, and did the whole blog layout thingy. And, here I am.

So, tomorrow is another day of lectures. Back to reality of life. Busy-ness and hangin-ness.

Selamat Hari Jadi III

Happy 53rd Birthday, Mama!!

Thank you for your love.
We wouldn't be where we are today without you.

Love you till the end of time.

MMUUAAAHHHH!!

Pangkah Shudah.

2008-03-08T11:52:00.004+08:00

Sheleshai lah shudah tanggung jawab untuk hari ini. Dah pangkah dah. Jam 10.40 tadi pegi. Pukul 11 dah beratur nak cuci kereta. Sekejap sahaja. Nak masuk pintu pagar St. Francis tadi ada nyonya datang approach. 'Amoi, undi BN ya. Dua-dua BN.' Ye lah nyonya. Tengoklah nanti. Haha.

Shekarang menunggu masa untuk bergerak ke Butterworth pulak. Ada walimah di Guar Chempedak. Tak jadi naik bas. Tiket bas dah jual balik. Dapat balik RM10. Pegi sana tumpang Uncle Tamjis dengan Aunty Kiah. Uncle dengan Aunty nak ngundi kat Butterworth. Azhar jadi driver. Tiket pon Azhar tolong jualkan balik tadi.

Ini nak pegi walimah jauh-jauh, walimah depan rumah tak pegi. Esok juga. Shudah nampak pengantin lelakinya berus lantai rumah. Khemah dah siap pacak pon. Malam tadi sampai sudah ada. Ada enam khemah semuanya. Reverse kereta kena hati-hati. Langgar pagar sampai patah takpe lagi. Buat pagar baru terush. Kalau langgar tiang khemah shushah. Parah. Rosak walimah orang nanti.

Shudahlah. Ini hanyalah rant sahaja. Sudah lama tak berupdate. Nanti pulang dari walimah Wani baru update lagilah. Kalau rajin.

A dallop of bliss and sympathy.

2008-02-26T08:59:00.006+08:00

It was a temporary bliss when I had this for lunch on Sunday.

And another bliss yesterday when I saw this on my bed. (It wasn't intentional.)

Had a good laugh seeing Miller kicked Asha when all this while Asha was the naughty one.

And although I never like Arsenal, I felt sorry for Eduardo, for what he has gone through and has to go through.

A good dallop of bliss and sympathy to start the week, eh?

Malim Kundang, Seri Chempaka & Seri Melur.

2008-02-24T00:19:00.009+08:00

Malim Kundang and Seri Chempaka is an item. They are in love with each other. However, at one point of their relationship, Malim Kundang met Seri Melur. So, Malim Kundang is now having relationships with two women, one with Seri Chempaka, of which everyone knows all about them and another one with Seri Melur, an affair, I would say. Malim Kundang has now think that he is much more in love with Seri Melur.

Ku mencintaimu lebih dari apapun
Meski tiada satu orangpun yang tahu
Ku mencintaimu sedalam dalam hatiku
Meskipun engkau hanya kekasih gelapku

Now that Malim Kundang thinks he is much more in love with Seri Melur, he thinks that he is in love with Seri Chempaka still. Malim Kundang is now confused, of who to choose.

Aku yang tak pernah bisa lupakan dirinya
Yang kini hadir diantara kita
Namun ku juga takkan bisa menepis bayangmu
Yang slama ini temani hidupku

Maafkan aku menduakan cintamu
Berat rasa hatiku tinggalkan dirinya
Dan demi waktu yang bergulir di sampingmu
Maafkanlah diriku sepenuh hatimu
Seandainya bila ku bisa memilih

Malim Kundang chooses to be together with Seri Melur. Some time later, he wants Seri Chempaka back. He realises that Seri Melur is not for him, she is not the one, for he thinks that Seri Chempaka is his soulmate, the one that is meant for him.

Aku ingin engkau slalu
Hadir dan temani aku
Disetiap langkah
Yang meyakiniku
Kau tercipta untukku
Sepanjang hidupku

Seri Chempaka has had enough of Malim Kundang. She does not want him anymore, for she has moved on. Malim Kundang is devastated, but he soon realises that this is what life has to offer, and he let go off Seri Chempaka.

Ku ingin kau tahu
Diriku di sini menanti dirimu
Meski ku tunggu
Hingga ujung waktuku
Dan berharap rasa ini kan abadi untuk selamanya

Dan izinkan aku memeluk dirimu kali ini saja
Tuk ucapkan selamat tinggal untuk selamanya
Dan biarkan rasa ini
Bahagia untuk sekejap saja

Moral of the story:

Ungu (yes, the Indonesian band) has lots of love songs that depict different kinds of feelings, emotions and situations.

Hahaha.

10 years ago:
I was 13. I was in Form 1. I lost weight a lot but I wasn't skinny because school was in the afternoon. The only heavy meal I had was during dinner and I didn't eat anything before school. This is the same year that I realised that I couldn't allow myself to be under pressure, for I will suffer from asthma attacks. Something that I wish I didn't know because I took the situation for granted and not study for exams.

5 years ago:
I was 18. Life was great, after SPM, you see. Not doing anything at home, except for some house chores. I was in MMU Melaka for a few weeks, of which I believed life was happier there, but money was the issue. I went for the interview, got into this course and here I am.

1 year ago:
I was enjoying myself in the cold weather of Plymouth. I had a few things done, of which I wouldn't do if I was studying in Malaysia. I was a steward for the Islamic Experience Exhibition, giving talks about the five pillars of Islam. I was a student ambassador for Marjon, doing some tours around college for those who are interested to study in Marjon. I worked for Royal Mail, throwing parcels and sorting mails according to the respective areas. I went for a holiday in Disneyland Paris, shopping without having to refrain myself, thanks to Royal Mail for its GBP7 per hour payment. On a sad side, I lost my father due to septicemia and multiple organs disfunction. Life was not the same anymore. I have to teach myself to be strong, to be patient and to think positively as there are reasons for whatever that has happened.

Yesterday I was:
High. Manchester United won, which means FREE movie tickets, popcorn and Coke. I spent some time with Mama, Along, Jaja and Arep. Went to Melaka with Jaja to send Arep back to his hostel. Applied smoky eyes on Soya. And only towards the end of the day that I finished the assignment on assessment in schools.

5 snacks I enjoy:
1. Super Ring.
2. Kuih bahulu.
3. Haziq and Alya.
4. And Adam too.
5. Chocolates.

5 songs I know all the words to:
1. Most of Anuar Zain's songs.
2. All Boyzone's songs.
3. Saiful Apek's Aspalela.
4. Barney's I love you, you love me song.
5. Some of the classic rock kapak songs.

5 bad habits:
1. Long afternoon nap.
2. Talk loudly.
3. Laughing out loud.
4. Easily hangin over small matters.
5. Not tidying up my bed after the afternoon nap.

5 biggest joy:
1. My family.
2. My friends.
3. Handbags.
4. Able to find size 9 shoes.
5. Food.

5 favourite toys:
1. Delilah. The pink laptop.
2. Sammy. The pink Samsung d900i.
3. My digital camera.
4. Miller and Asha. While Asha is still under my care.
5. The Quirky Wacky Ducky. The vacum for keyboards and laptops.

5 favourite tv shows:
1. CSI: Las Vegas and New York.
2. Prison Break.
3. Friends.
4. Two Guys, A Girl and A Pizza Place.
5. Slot cerekarama.

Selamat Hari Jadi.

2008-02-16T03:27:00.004+08:00

My prayers will always be with you.
And may Allah bless you always.

So, we had Mr Nazri for Professional Development lecture today and tomorrow. Boy, he was funny! Not in terms of giving lecture, but in terms of changing people's name.

'Let me have your name list and I will call you out. 'Ainur Rahman. Where are you?'
(crowd laughing, including the owner of the name) 'It's 'Ainur Rahmah, sir.'
'Oh, 'Ainur Rahmah binti Ellias? Yes.'

'Fatimah (long pause, everyone is eager to know which Fatimah he is referring to) Fatima Anne Sebastian.'
(crowd laughing again, since everyone expected the other Fatimah)
'................' (Anne expressed her opinion)
'Thank you, Fatima and Sebastian. I think Anne should be spelled as A.N.D and not A.N.N.E."

'Lim Tow Suan, what do you think of this?'
'.................' (long explanation)
'Oh, good. You should really change your name to Lim Tau Semua.'

Haha. OK sir, I think you are really funny.

By the way, this is the same Mr. Nazri who interviewed me in 2003.

Reunion, Farewell and Joyride.

2008-01-26T09:39:00.000+08:00

So, on Thursday the crooked bunch of F2.4 (2004) had a reunion / farewell party in The Curve, Damansara. Crazy, it was. With the same familiar faces and the same familiar laughter but not quite the same size. It was good to see everyone again after 2 years of being abroad.

To Mdm Rozanna and Mdm Fazlinah, good luck in pursuing your PHD. All the best. Without you, we wouldn't be where we are today. We wouldn't be the crooked lot / crazy human beings who love each other. Though we are crazy, your laughter, our laughter keep us sane. Let's keep in touch. Mdm Faz, there are lots of factory outlet in Portsmouth, have a great time shopping. Tumpang handbag satu boleh? Keh keh keh. Mdm Rozanna, I guess, I'll be seeing you around in KL. I nak datang rumah u, ok.

P/s: I am a co-pilot tak berapa boleh pakai. Asyik salah jalan. Took a turn when you are not supposed to and miss a turn when you are supposed to take the turn. End up ber-joyride / merempit lah malam itu. Dari Damansara ke Gombak ke Jalan Ipoh ke Jalan TAR ke Dataran Merdeka and finally sampai IPBA lah. Sambil merempit, menyanyi kuat-kuat to Pupus by Dewa. Baru ku sedarriiiiiiii~~~

Neo naik truck.

2008-01-19T03:12:00.000+08:00

I am currently in Shah Alam when I am supposed to be at home in Sitiawan. What happened was my sister's Neo broke down just before Ijok and right after the Chinese graveyard. She couldn't press the pedal, the stering wheel can't be controlled and slowly the car stopped on its own. She called Proton Service Centre and waited about 45 minutes for Abg Proton. He came with his wife and managed to start the car. About two minutes after that the car broke down again and this time nothing can be done except to have it towed to Proton's workshop. We waited more than an hour for the truck. My sister had already fallen asleep, I got bored of waiting that I counted how many vehicles that passed us by. From 12.44 am to 12.55 am, there were 59 wehicles including 3 motorcycles and the tow truck is vehicle nnumber 60. Abg Proton had asked another friend, Abg Proton 2 to send us to Shah Alam. On the way, Abg Proton 2 took us to Mutiara Damansara Proton Centre to wait for Neo and settled some forms. We arrived safely in Shah Alam at around 3 a.m.

They are really nice guys, including the Abg Proton On the Phone and Abg Insurans. I gave Abg Proton 2 some money, a treat for him and Abg Proton. Abg Proton even invited us to his wedding in March. Har har har. That was really nice of him.

Here's some pictures of Neo in Mutiara Damansara.

Neo is still on the truck. The guy in black shirt and white pants is Abg Proton 2.

In the process of getting Neo on to the ground.

Neo is already on the ground.

Later today we'll be heading to Sitiawan in Mak Cu's Waja and will probably pick Neo up on Sunday.

To Abg Proton, Abg Proton 2, Abg Proton On the Phone and Abg Insurans, if you are reading this (I dont think you read this by the way), we just want to say thank you very much for your help. We really appreciate it.

Yesterday.

2008-01-18T12:56:00.000+08:00

This is meant to be posted yesterday.

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

Today, 17th January 2007, marks the eight month since the day that Allah took Ayah's life. Time really flies. It felt like yesterday that I received the news that he was admitted to the hospital. It felt like yesterday that I was allowed to go home to see my family, full expenses paid by Marjon. It felt like yesterday that relatives are afraid to tell me the bad news as soon as I landed. It felt like yesterday that I visited his grave for the first time and cried. It felt like yesterday that I visited his grave every weekend. It felt like yesterday that I helped Mama to placed the tombstone on his grave. It felt like yesterday that I helped to plant some orchids next to the tombstone. It felt like yesterday that I scattered flowers and pandan leaves on the grave. It felt like yesterday that I cried because he was not there to celebrate my birthday. It felt like yesterday that I held a tahlil for him. Everything felt like they have just happened just the day before. But, all these things happened in the course of eight months. I still have not visit his grave since I came back although this was the first thing that I wanted to do.I really wished that I had done so during the one week I was at home now that I'm missing him very much. It hurts when mama said that she dreamt of him sometimes. It hurts when Jaja said that he came into her dreams. He had never come into mine. If I had just one wish, I wish that he will come into my dream, even for a short while. I wanted to see him very much, for I am missing him dearly.

Lecturers say the darndest things:

2008-01-16T13:46:00.000+08:00

'Focused skill is like having a boyfriend. You can't teach two focused skills just like you can't have two boyfriends at the same time.' (on the teaching of four skills in English language classrooms)

'Elaborate with examples. For those of you who lack of English, huraikan dengan contoh.' (on Professional Development assignment)

'We can work together because I'm an English educated man.' (on collaboration/working together between the HEP and Cohort 2 students)

'OK, your reading is not bad after all.' (during Professional Development tutorial)

'We have loss our statute and prestige because we have teachers like you!' (on teaching being a profession)

'Haa, yang itu, dah sampai Marjon.' (during Islamic Civilisation lecture, of which I fell asleep)

Welcome 2008.

2008-01-01T23:03:00.000+08:00

2008 is going to end its first day of the year. To tell you the truth, I have no new year resolutions. Well, I had one, but it was destroyed as soon as my cousin switched to one of the channels that highlighted new year concert/celebration. The resolution was not to watch any new year concert/celebration/countdown.

Since I have no new year resolutions, I am just going to reflect last year's resolution.

Well, I was cheated by some group of men, (resolution #1 does not mean in the world of 'percintaan', but by any man). The computer/maintenance people did not come when they said they will. I eventually did some dieting (didn't turn out well, by the way). I still procrastinate (started TECC assignment 3 days before the handing in date, not to forget the non-sleeping Sunday nights/Monday mornings so that I can hand in the drafts of the dissertation by Monday noon). I think I did more reading, especially for the Comparative Education module. I stopped doing my reading log a few days after resolution #5 was made. I did not exercise, well, I considered shopping as exercising. So, at least I may have burnt some fat. I did stop complaining, and whenever I started to complain about things, I remind myself to stop. I did do things sincerely, though at times I still feel irritated as I was the only one doing certain things. I did not manage to travel to other places. I did get a part time job as a student ambassador and a mail sorter. I did find some time every day to read the Quran after Maghrib or Isya', but I did not read the translation to the verses. Finally, I don't know whether I have become a better person inside out. That, I have to ask opinion of others. :D

So, I still have no new year resolution. Everyday is a new day anyway, so you can make new resolution every day as you wish.

On a serious side.

I was fairly disappointed with the kind of celebrations that we have in our country. Concerts, gathering of men and women, countdowns, etc. It does not reflect the Islamic country that we claim ourselves to be. Yesterday itself, there was about 4 to 5 concerts being aired on the television, and those concerts were in KL alone. And in today's Harian Metro, there was a full page coverage on the celebration and only a small section on the Bacaan Yassin to welcome the new year in Melaka. There was an Islamic forum and nasyid performance held in the mosque next to KLCC, but I guess some people would prefer to choose to attend the concert at KLCC, for it was the entertainment that they were looking for. Buletin Utama highlighted that social problems have emerged each and everytime new year is celebrated. Well, it is pretty clear anyway. These problems emerged every year but still we still have concerts and celebrations to welcome the new year. You know the impacts of these sorts of events but you still hold it anyway. So why bother saying that we still have the 'ketimuran' in us, when everything that we do is all 'kebaratan'.

And there's this sending mat rempit to Kutub Utara by Pemuda UMNO. ??!!??. And a plan to use mat rempits to bring the voters to the voting centres in the next election. Again, ??!!??. May I suggest that we recruit all these mat rempits to become delivery guy for Mcdonalds, KFCs and Pizza Huts. Or FedEx, Nationwide Express, DHL, UPS can recruit them as despatchers. Maybe all the kedai mamak can have their own delivery guy too. At least these mat rempits have a long term job, rather than something that they will do only once in five years.

Let us see what kind of news we are going to get tomorrow. And I'm sure we all gonna be surprised, well, maybe not.

Happy new year.

Last one from Plymouth.

2007-12-28T07:33:00.000+08:00

12 hours and counting. Soon, our stay in Plymouth will come to an end. And this shall be my last entry from House 20, Student Village, University College Plymouth St Mark and St John, Plymouth.

Will be missing this place. Will definitely be missing the people I have been working with. May we see each other again and may I have the opportunity to see this place again. Amin.

Goodbye Marjon. Goodbye Plymouth.

Baby stuff.

2007-12-24T22:42:00.000+08:00

Kak Mia (Uncle Tamjis's and Aunty Kiah's daughter in law) has just given birth to a pair of female twin last Monday. Congratulations to both Kak Mia and Abg Azrie for having new members in the family.

Presents for the four siblings: a striped shirt from Mothercare for Haziq , a dress from Next for Alya (I have blogged about this dress) and a 50% Daddy 50% Mummy long sleeved t-shirt and a cow baby bip, all from Mothercare, for each of the twins.

I have asked Azhar, their Pak Su, for the twins's name yesterday and he said that Abg Azrie have not given them any name yet. So, Abg Azrie and Kak Mia, apa kata letak Fazlin JR and Farieza JR? Besar mesti comel macam Aunty Alin. Hee hee. :D

A beautiful love song.

Shayne Ward's Breathless

If our love was a fairy tale
I would charge in and rescue you
On a yacht baby we would sail
To an island where we’d say I do

And if we had babies they would look like you
It’d be so beautiful if that came true
You don’t even know how very special you are

You leave me breathless
You’re everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can’t believe that you’re mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you’re leaving me
Breathless

And if our love was a story book
We would meet on the very first page
The last chapter would be about
How I’m thankful for the life we’ve made

And if we had babies they would have your eyes
I would fall deeper watching you give life
You don’t even know how very special you are

You leave me breathless
You’re everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can’t believe that you’re mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you’re leaving me

You must have been sent from heaven to earth to change me
You’re like an angel
The thing that I feel is stronger than love believe me
You’re something special
I only hope that I’ll one day deserve what you’ve given me
But all I can do is try
Every day of my life

You leave me breathless
You’re everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can’t believe that you’re mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you’re leaving me
Breathless

You leave me breathless
You’re everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can’t believe that you’re mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you’re leaving me
Breathless
Breathless

Stronger everyday.

I was tidying up the notice board in my room, when I found this, drowned by other stuff. I think I copied this from someone's Friendster, a long time ago.

Allah knows what is best for me,
So why should I complain.
I always want the sunshine,
But He knows there must be rain.
I always want the laughter,
But my heart will lose its tenderness,
If I never shed a tear.

Allah tests me often,
With suffering and sorrow.
He tests me not to push myself,
But to help me with a better tomorrow.
For growing tree is strengthened,
If I withstand the storm.
And the sharp cut of chisel,
Gave the marble grace and form.

Allah tests me often,
And for every pain He gives to me,
Provided me with patience,
Is followed by rich gain.
So whenever I am down,
And whenever I feel that everything is going wrong,
It is just Allah's way,
To make my spirit strong.

Thank you Allah.

2007-12-15T10:21:00.000+08:00

I've been wanting to blog about this for days, but I didn't have the time to do so. I was busy working to the extent of becoming fed up with doing over time. I need a life, or shall I say, I have a life. :P

My stay in Plymouth is coming to an end. I've started packing, deciding on which shall I put in the luggage, which shall I box and have them shipped, which shall be given to the juniors, or which shall be left all alone in the cold weather. Haha. It's hard. It's really hard to decide.

I have a mixed feeling about leaving Plymouth. I really wanted to be home, but at the same time, I don't want to leave this place. It's been my home for the past two years. Where ever I went, for a short getaway or a trip to ASDA or the city centre, I always find it exciting to be back in House 20, to be under the duvet, to be in the cosiness of my own room. I guess I will definitely be missing this place as soon as I step on to the plane, or the coach. Will I ever get to see Plymouth again, or UK maybe? I hope so. InsyaAllah. God's willing.

I have learned a lot during this duration through mistakes and experiences. The thing I have learned are priceless. They taught me to be matured in my own way. They are definitely a treasure. A treasure which I'm sure will be well kept by all of us. I really wanted to write the things I've learned, but there are too many. I don't know where to start, how to start, and I'm sure the list will never end. I guess it's better left unsaid then. Hehe.

INTED has organised a farewell dinner for us on Monday. It was a lovely evening. I have enjoyed it very much, as well as my guest, Kak Nora. It's really a shame that we need to part, for INTED have done so much for us. The speech by Katy created lumps in my throat, I laughed my heart out when Steve gave his speech (who doesn't, anyway, even though you are at the verge of crying) and Sarah's speech brought me to tears. It seems just like yesterday that Sarah and Michelle picked us up from the airport. And in two weeks time, they will send us off to the airport. Time really flies, and it flies fast.

Thank you to Katy Salisbury, Steve Ansell, Lesley Woodhead, Tracy Gilpin, Michael Hall, Liz Robbins, Mike Boston, Sarah Fuqua, Michelle Charlick, Dania Moussalli, Tony Wright, Paul Gentle, and Bernice. Thank you for everything. You are our family for the past two years. You will definitely be missed. :)

Daddy cool.

2007-12-04T07:33:00.000+08:00

I think I miss my daddy la. Right now, things are very much clustered in my mind. The job I'm currently doing, the exam next week, the trip to London over the weekend, the dinner to attend next week, the final academic week, the final assignment and the flight ticket that I've received this morning. These are the things which I will usually talk to him about. These are the things that make our conversations last hours on the phone. And I miss talking to him.

Whatever happened around me seems to make me think about him even more. When friends ask, would I like to take a ride on London Eye, I said, no, I've been on it with my parents. When I went to Harrods, I remembered the time he dropped the lit to a teapot, broke it and didn't even have to pay for it. Whenever I bought a handbag, no matter how beautiful it is, my favourite would be the one he bought me for my 21st birthday. Whenever friends asked how do I survive with the allowance, I told them may parents taught me to use whatever I have and not to ask for more. And then I remember the fact that he told Mama I was the most independent of all because I would never ask for more money and just use whatever I have or what they have given me. Then there are times when I still buy six mugs and six glasses, each and every time, the fact hit me, there's only five of us now. Not six. Not anymore. When I was home during the summer, I still think that he has gone for a meeting in KL and will return in the evening. When I continue sleeping after Subuh prayers on the couch in the living room, I could smell him, his presence. When I listen to songs, songs about fathers, it hit me that I don't have a father anymore. When I buy things for Mama, my sisters and my brother, or when friends are looking for things to buy for their fathers, I realised that I don't have to buy anything for him. Because he's gone.

My sister and I are always making jokes that he's not around and it will always be funny only to both of us. Like this one.

alinyussuff : ok le
alinyussuff : kamu ngan makcik tu dpt la senza
alinyussuff : mama got handbag
alinyussuff : baby bro cari tshirt hard rock london la
alinyussuff : daddy?
alinyussuff : uh uh
alinyussuff : oh oh
alinyussuff : sob sob srroott
alinyussuff : T_T
alizazy : daddy dpt al-fatihah la
alizazy : ape lagi
alinyussuff : alhamdulillah
alinyussuff : kami suke jawapan tuh
alizazy : hikhikhik

And there are other jokes which I don't think are appropriate to be shared. It would be better to keep it to ourselves.

It has been more than six months now and I still refuse to refer him as Arwah. I deny myself from using that term. I don't want to. Because I still feel his presence around me.

Gosh, I miss him so much that writing this creates lumps in my throat.

I miss you, Ayah. Will you please come into my dreams?

Pesanan dari penaja (Ainee jugaklah),

'Jadilah bintang di langit. Jangan jadi tahi bintang'

Stardust Part I

2007-11-25T08:20:00.000+08:00

A philosopher once asked: are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human? Pointless really. Do the stars gaze back? Now that's the question.

No star can shine with a broken heart.

What do stars do? They shine.

You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn’t true. I know a lot about love. I’ve seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate… It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves… You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and… What I’m trying to say, Tristan is… I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I’d know it for myself. My heart… It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it’s trying to escape because it doesn’t belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I’d wish for nothing in exchange - no gifts. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine.

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

Stardust, a movie must watch.

A mixture of romance, adventure, comedy and fantasy. It's worth your two hours. And I'm just in love with the movie.

Balloon and MAC.

2007-11-25T02:03:00.000+08:00

Hi, can I have a balloon?No, not yet.(setelah ditipu 18 kali) Here you go.I got a flower! I got a flower!
Half an hour later, Ainee burst one of its petals. (Jahat kan..Haha, I tau you tak sengaja..)

December issue.

2007-11-24T03:00:00.000+08:00

What will happen in the next few weeks?

I'm starting my job as a mail sorter in Royal Mail on Monday, a week earlier than expected. I hope that it will be less tiring than last year now that I am on the afternoon shift. Night shift was crazy. It took me three days just to adjust my sleeping pattern.
I will be on a trip to London next weekend.
I have another assignment to hand in on Friday the 7th of December.
An exam on the 10th of December.
I will be off the job on the 21st of December, just in time to get some last minute shopping before flying home.
I'll ship the rest of my stuff on the 26th of December and I hope that I will only need to ship two boxes. But I doubt it.
Finally, I will be flying home on the 28th December at 10pm (UK time). This time it's back for good. Yay!

Hope that everything will go well as planned. Can't wait to be home, nak ziarah kubur daddy. :)

p/s: I've handed in the dissertation. What a relief. Not forgetting the fact that my HDD broke down a week before dateline which results in re-typing almost 75% of the dissertation.

Bye bye dissey.

pp/s: By the way, this is entry number 120. I missed thelilmindofmine's 1st birthday as well as the 100th entry. 120 pon boleh lah. Hehe.

Saya rindu ayah saya.

2007-11-19T07:45:00.000+08:00

Semalam, 17hb November 2007.
Genaplah enam bulan pemergiannya.
Tak terkata kerinduan di hati. Terlalu tebal.
Masih belum puas dengan kasih sayang yang dicurahkan.
Masih menginginkannya.

'Ku harungi hari demi hari, bersama wajah tak mungkin akan kembali.'

I miss.

Al-Fatehah.
Semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat.
Amin.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

*UPDATED*

Sesudah entri dipos, air mata mula bertakung. Ah, telefon Mama. Bagitahu, sangat rindu sama Ayah.

Tut tut, tut tut, tut tut.
Hello, Alin.
Hello, Mama kat mana?
On the way nak pergi sekolah. Kenapa?
Semalam 6 bulan. (air mata menitis laju).
Sekejap je kan, 6 bulan dah. (turut menangis).

Biarlah kami menangis.
Kami rindukan orang yang sama.

Air mata menitis lagi.
Ya Allah, berikanlah ku kekuatan. Tabahkanlah hati ini.

Orkid-lah!

2007-11-18T23:25:00.000+08:00

Me: Maa, Alin beli buku Nigella Lawson dengan Jamie at Home. Tengok-tengok resipi kat situ.
Mama: Buku ape?!?
Me: Ala, Nigella, pompuan yang masak-masak tu.
Mama: Oh.
Me: Dengan Jamie at Home.
Mama: Oh, Jamie Oliver tu.
Me: Ha'ah. Kan selalu kita tengok dalam TV kan dia petik-petik, cabut-cabut je dari garden dia kan, pastu terus masak kan.
Mama: Ha'ah.
Me: Yang Alin beli ni buku rancangan yang tu la. Dalam tu ada ajar macam mana nak tanam sayur-sayur, kentang, bawang semua. Mama pon boleh belajar.
Mama: Haa, oklah tu. Nanti dia pon boleh belajar tanam orkid dengan Mama.
Me: ........ Hahahahaha. *gelak guling-guling*

The good girl.

2007-11-17T06:50:00.000+08:00

We were sitting together at the kitchen when Ainee told us about one of her childhood act, that she stuck a chewing gum to a friend's hijab. Wani then told us about the day she went cycling that her father had to go out and find her. I told them that I have nothing similar during my childhood years. Whatever happened to me were mostly accidental and the scars that I have were not caused by being naughty.

Many may realised that I have two scars from stitches above my right eyes. I got the first scar when I was about four or five. At that time, I have started helping my mother in the kitchen. I remembered putting a chair next to the stove and wanting to stir her cooking. My brother's nanny wanted to get something out of the drawer and as she was pulling out the drawer, I fell and my head hit the cabinet. Hence, I was taken to a clinic to get a few stitches just below the right eyebrow. I wouldn't consider that to be my fault or I was naughty, I was just helping out. I was in Standard One when I got the second scar. I was standing at the door waiting for the teacher to come in. The wind was blowing hard. It blew the door and the door hit me right on my head. The hit left me with stitches just above my right eyebrow. I wasn't being naughty, I got the scar because the wind was blowing. Ainee kata parut sebab kena tiup angin.

Once during kindergarten, I fell out of the van that took me to school, and I'm sure that I didn't jump out of the van or did any stunt that caused me to fall. I'm sure that a friend has pushed me even though I have told her to stop pushing a few times. That fall caused a few of my teeth to fall out of its place. And I guess that's the reason why my teeth are well structured, compared to my other siblings.

When I was about five, my family including my mother's youngest brother went to Komtar in Penang to shop. My mother was busy looking at the clothes while I was busy walking in and out of the hanging clothes when suddenly, I couldn't find my mother. I stood quietly next to a mannequin until one of the promoter was passing by and realised that I wasn't with my parents. I was then took to the missing child counter. I remembered not crying at all until the announcement was made. Not long after that, I saw my parents coming, laughing that I went missing. They didn't blame me either. For what I know both my mother and her youngest brother blamed each other. My mother thought that I have followed him to the toilet and he thought that I was with her all the time.

I remembered being the quiet little girl. I remembered that people used to say that I have gold in my mouth just because I didn't talk very much. I remembered waiting quietly at the stairs for my mother, after I woke up from my nap everyday. I don't remember my parents or other siblings recalled my bad behavior when I was little, nothing that I could think of. Both Ainee and Wani agreed that maybe I was easy to take care of because I was a good girl. Maybe that's true. And if it's true, I have to agree. Tee hee hee.

The good girl with her late father.

Saya pula bila?

2007-11-10T20:53:00.000+08:00

Kementerian Sains, Teknologi dan Inovasi ingin menjadikan 10hb Oktober sebagai 'Hari Angkasawan', bertujuan untuk memperingati tarikh Dr Sheikh Muzaphar dihantar ke angkasa lepas. Kemudian, terdapat juga cadangan untuk membeli kapsul Sayouz yang akan dijadikan tugu peringatan. Saya hanya terfikir, bila pula tudung Sheikh (ala tudung Mawi) akan dijual di Jalan TAR untuk semua peminat wanita Dr Sheikh Muzaphar? Atau, jika Dr Sheikh Muzaphar menjadi tokoh inspirasi dan aspirasi negara untuk golongan muda, bila pula kita akan melihat topi keledar motosikal ala aksesori kepala sut angkasa lepas berada di pasaran untuk dipakai oleh semua mat rempit di Malaysia? Bila ye?

Mejar Dr Faiz Khaleed pula kena tunggu sehingga tahun 2011 untuk berkahwin atas alasan beliau mungkin tidak dapat menumpukan perhatian kepada latihan sekiranya terlalu teringatkan isteri dan anak-anak. Saya kena tunggu sampai bila pula ya?

Just a piece of my thought.

Press Conference: I'm not a trophy wife.

2007-11-08T19:01:00.000+08:00

I, Fazlin Farieza Yussuff, or better known as Alin, will now make a statement that I am not a trophy wife. I have never been and will never be. I was proud to be called trophy wife because I have misunderstood the term. All this while, I thought the term 'trophy wife' means a wife whom a husband is very proud of, who is capable of doing anything and everything under the sun or a wife who is like Bree in Desperate Housewives. However, I have read the definition of the term 'trophy wife' on Wikipedia, and I was shocked to discover the truth. I have never been taken as a second wife nor a third. Therefore, I will retrieve the statement I made earlier. I am NOT a trophy wife. If you have further questions, kindly post yours in the comment section and I will have them answered as soon as possible. Thank you.

p/s: Thank you to Ainee for linking me to the real definition of trophy wife.

terlalu cinta

2007-11-08T01:57:00.000+08:00

Z was describing her love life to me.

Z: I was up on a plane and was being attended by a handsome steward, so I was happy. I jumped out of the plane to sky dive and enjoyed the view very much, so I was happy again. Then, "Oh sh*t!" My parachute didn't work. I fell hard near a cliff and I stood up soon after. I noticed that the view was marvellous and so I happy again. Not long after that, I stumbled down the cliff. Tergolek-golek. As soon as I reach the ground, pretty flowers are all there waiting for me. And so, I was happy again.
Me: And I think there's venus fly trap somewhere among the pretty flowers.
Z: (ignoring my statement) So the conclusion is, nak happy kena parah sikit, mana boleh happy sentiasa.
Me: Haha.....

I can't seem to agree to what Z is doing to her life because I cant stand watching her being hurt again. But, she is happy doing whatever she's been doing. She knows that I don't agree with her doings and yet she wants me to support whatever she does. So, she has all my love, support and prayers. Semoga terbuka pintu hati Z untuk menerima lelaki lain. Amin.

Jangan dekat atau jangan datang kepadaku lagi
Aku semakin tersiksa karena tak memilikimu
Kucoba jalani hari dengan pengganti dirimu
Tapi hatiku selalu berpihak lagi padamu

Mengapa semua ini terjadi kepadaku

Tuhan maafkan diri ini
Yang tak pernah bisa menjauh dari angan tentangnya
Namun apalah daya ini
Bila ternyata sesungguhnya aku terlalu cinta dia…

Tapi hatiku selalu berpihak lagi padamu

Mengapa semua ini terjadi kepadaku

Tuhan maafkan diri ini
Yang tak pernah bisa menjauh dari angan tentangnya
Namun apalah daya ini
Bila ternyata sesungguhnya aku terlalu cinta dia

Mengapa semua ini terjadi kepadaku

Tuhan maafkan diri ini
Yang tak pernah bisa menjauh dari angan tentangnya
Namun apalah daya ini
Bila ternyata sesungguhnya aku terlalu cinta dia…

Aku terlalu cinta dia…

chocolates

2007-11-07T02:40:00.000+08:00

More chocolate are in stock! Yay!

Aini reminded me in her last comment that dark chocolate is better than the normal chocolate since more cocoa means less sugar and milk, hence less effects on our teeth and weight. Yesterday, I was badly craving for Ferrero Rocher that I asked a friend to get me two boxes of Ferrero Rocher (since they are on rollback) and a bar of Cadbury's Bournville Classic Dark Chocolate (to make me feel less guilty for buying another two boxes of Ferrero Rocher). I realised that Classic Dark Chocolate is so delicious that I went to ASDA after class today and got myself a bar of Cadbury's Bournville Deeply Dark and another of Divine's Dark Chocolate. Hehe.

Banyak betul. I think these chocolates are going to last till the next PMS. :P

I felt less guilty now that I eat dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. :D

Plus, I love what's written at the back of Cadbury's packaging.

'It's chocolate. It's good. It's just really good chocolate.'

Good, eih?

*Ferrero Rocher itu masih dijeling tajam cause I think they are baaaaddddd..Dark chocolate baiiikkkkkk..hahahaha*

please go away.

2007-11-05T03:09:00.000+08:00

I am now taking a break from writing descriptions of language activities for my dissertation. It seems that the break is taking forever and I find it very hard to start writing again. *sigh*

And at the same time, PMS is eating me up rapidly. I sleep a lot. I become emotional and hangin instantly on small things. I constantly feel hungry and wanting to eat. I crave for sweet things, which resulted in buying 4 caramel puddings and baking a cheesecake the other day. I eat chocolates non-stop. I had just eaten three Ferrero Rocher, one after another, and I have already planned of buying another two boxes since ASDA is putting Ferrero Rocher on rollback. 2 boxes of 16 for GBP 5. I have also been thinking about chocolate cake a lot. The one with a creamy chocolate icing layer in the middle and topped with delicious melting chocolate. And right now, I am thinking about a large mug of my favourite vanilla tea with milk and I am trying not to make myself one. I already had it this morning and I limit myself to only one mug per day.

HHAARRRGGGHHH!!! *pulls hair*

I need help. I need someone to tell me to stop eating.

I know this will go away. Please go away quickly.

Scott Simons's Umbrella

2007-11-03T19:18:00.000+08:00

Scott Simons

I fell in love with this version since the first time I listened to it. Smart.

You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
May be in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share

[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella

Under my umbrella

These fancy things, will never come in between
You're part of my entity, here for Infinity
When the war has took it's part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart

[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

You can run into my arms
It's okay don't be alarmed
Come into me
There's no distance in between our love
So go on and let the rain pour
Because

[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

Strawberry Cheese Cake

2007-11-03T05:01:00.000+08:00

I am currently waiting for the cake to cook in the oven. And I have a deep feeling that the cake wont turn out the way I was hoping it will. Well, to tell you the truth, when I was mixing the ingredient, I really thought that it wont turn out well, jadi ke tak kek ni, betul ke macam ni, since I simply mixed everything up into a bowl. But I acted confident, yakin, macam Dr. Sheikh Muzaphar tu cakap, 'I have to believe that I am the one.' Hak hak.

I think the cake looks prettiest before it went into the oven. *sigh* And I wont give out the recipe. Kek macam tak jadik, buat apa mau bagi resipi. :D

Comel kan..Siap ade swirl2 strawberry. Too bad bukan begini comel rupanya setelah siap.

p/s: The cake is done and have just ate some. Rasa ok sudah. Appearance cake saja yang tak meyakinkan. Hahaha. Should have used the recipe I have. Gatai tak mau ikut. *long sigh*

Trophy Wife.

Thanks, Nisahk. Hehe. I suka gile.

"You can't love someone that you can't have. You can't teach a heart whom to love, and you can't teach your heart how to love... and it always happens that the only person that you want to catch you when you fall, is that someone you can't have."

motherly instinct..

On a shopping trip to the City Centre last week, I bought this beautiful dress from Next for little Miss Alya Qistina.

Cute nak pengsan tengok baju nih..

And then, yesterday, during a raya open house at Dr. Azli's and Kak Ros's crib, I stumble upon this cute little man, Mr Akil Asfar.

Ni pon chomel nak pengsan jugak. Yg pakai baju putih tu le. He he he.

Now, I have a feeling of wanting to have my own children. Beli baju untuk anak sendiri and dukung anak sendiri. Boleh ke?

:P

Ayah..

2007-10-04T06:43:00.000+08:00

Tiba-tiba ketika teraweh tadi, hati terdetik nak menceritakan kisah Ayah. Ayah yang kadangkala kami panggil Baba, Daddy atau Father. Mungkin kerana hati ini terlalu merindukan Ayah. Ayah telah pergi meninggalkan kami 4 bulan setengah yang lalu. Tinggalnya tanpa pesan, perginya Ayah penuh tenang.

Setahu aku, Ayah tak pernah sakit walaupun Ayah seorang perokok. Cuma, setahun yang lepas, setelah dua bulan aku meninggalkan bumi Malaysia, Mama beritahu yang Ayah didiagnos dengan kencing manis. Tetapi, penyakitnya masih di peringkan awal dan doktor hanya memberi Ayah ubat untuk dimakan supaya tahap gulanya terkawal. Tidak lama kemudian, Mama sekali lagi beritahu yang penyakit Ayah yang satu itu diiringi dengan penyakit Gaout. Tangan dan kakinya mula bengkak-bengkak. Ayah mula pantang makan. Segala makanan kegemarannya tidak lagi menjadi juadah hari-hari.

Ketika Ayah dan Mama datang ke London untuk menghadiri majlis konvokesyen Jaja pada Julai tahun lepas, Ayah kelihatan kurus sekali. Ayah mula sakit-sakit sendi jika terlalu banyak berjalan. Namun, itu tidak menghalang Ayah untuk membawa Mama, Jaja dan aku berjalan-jalan di kota London. Sehari sebelum Ayah, Mama dan Jaja pulang ke Malaysia, aku merajuk dengan Mama. Mama pula, walaupun tahu aku merajuk, tetap tidak pedulikan aku, lagi dibiarkan aku berjalan dibelakang seorang diri. Ayah seakan memahami perasaan aku, selalu berhenti dan menunggu aku. Ayah memujuk dengan mengajak aku minum dengannya ketika Mama dan Jaja ingin mencari beg tangan. Aku senyum, terkejut dengan ajakan Ayah, dan merajuk aku mula reda. Aku kembali ketawa, kembali riang. Ayah pujuk aku lagi dengan membelikan sebuah beg tangan sebagai hadiah hari jadi aku. Keesokan harinya, sebelum mereka bertolak ke lapangan terbang, sempat mereka menghantar aku ke stesen bas. Bas sampai dan aku salami tangan Jaja, mencium pipinya diikuti dengan Mama. Aku kemudiannya menyalam tangan Ayah dan mengucup kedua pipinya. Dan itulah kucupan terakhir aku di pipi Ayah.

Beberapa bulan sebelum pemergian Ayah, Mama beritahu aku lagi yang tangan dan kaki Ayah yang sering bengkak itu bukan disebabkan oleh penyakit Gaoutnya. Mama bagitahu yang Ayah mengalami masalah dengan saraf, kulit tangannya mula tegang, tangannya sentiasa sejuk dan Ayah tidak lagi boleh makan dengan menggunakan tangan. Ayah menjadi lebih kurus. Ubat yang diberikan doktor pula seakan tidak sesuai. Degupan jantung Ayah terlalu cepat akibat ubat dan doktor suruh Ayah berhenti mengambilnya.

Dalam pada kesihatan Ayah yang begitu, Ayah tetap lagi bekerja, terus bekerja kuat. Ayah tetap lagi berulang alik setiap minggu ke Kuala Lumpur atas tuntutan kerja. Seminggu sebelum Ayah demam, aku menelefon rumah, perkara biasa yang aku lakukan tiap kali hujung minggu. Ayah terlalu banyak cakapnya. Ayah berulang kali menyatakan yang dia akan ke Genting untuk menghantar Mama berkursus. Aku mula pelik, Ayah seorang yang pendiam, Ayah tidak banyak bercakap. Perasaan itu hanya aku pendamkan dan itulah kali terakhir aku bercakap dengan ayah. Dua hari sebelum Ayah demam, Ayah telah ke Kuala Lumpur untuk satu lagi menyuarat. Pulang dari Kuala Lumpur, Ayah memandu pula ke Genting untuk mengambil Mama pulang dari kursus.

Ketika aku menelefon rumah, Mama bagitahu yang Ayah dan Adek demam. Terdetik hatiku yang Mama berkorban menjaga suami dan anaknya yang sakit pada Hari Ibu. Dalam telefon, aku terdengar suara Ayah di belakang, ceria sekali, bersembang dengan Uncle dan Aunty seakan Ayah tiada sakitnya. Itulah kali terakhir aku mendengan suaranya. Esoknya aku telefon Mama lagi, Mama kata Ayah masih demam dan sedang berehat. Bila Mama tanya adakah aku ingin bercakap dengan Ayah, aku jawab, takpa lah, biarkan Ayah berehat. Rupanya, takkan ada lagi panggilan telefon dariku untuk Ayah.

Pada 14 Mei, Mama menghantar mesej menyatakan Ayah telah dimasukkan ke hospital. Aku telefon Mama. Mama hanya nyatakan yang Ayah ok. Mama pesan untuk terus doakan kesihatan Ayah, doakan kekuatan untuk Mama. Air mata terus mengalir. Aku ambil wuduk dan terus baca Yassin. Setelah itu, aku lari ke rumah Tiqah, mencari seseorang untuk bercerita. Malam itu, aku mengalami kesukaran untuk tidur. Aku teringatkan rumah. Aku rasakan kepulangan aku pada bulan Julai ini seakan terlalu jauh. Air mata mengalir lagi sehinggalah aku tidur jam 4 pagi.

Pada 15 Mei, lebih kurang jam 10 pagi, aku terima mesej dari Jaja mengatakan Ayah stabil dan tidak lama kemudian satu lagi mesej masuk, dari Along pula. Ayah dimasukkan ke ICU. Doktor telah berikan Ayah ubat tidur untuk menenangkannya dan Ayah tidak pernah lagi sedar sehingga pemergiannya pada jam 1.04 tengah hari 17 Mei.

Daripada apa yang aku dengar, selama Ayah di ICU, bacaan surah Yassin dan kalimah syahadah sentiasa menemani Ayah. Aku dengar lagi yang Ayah pergi dengan tenang sekali, sehinggakan mereka yang berada di sekelilingnya tidak perasan akan perginya Ayah. Tiada kerutan di muka atau apa pun. Terlalu tenang pemergiannya. Jenazah Ayah disembahyangkan di masjid TLDM dan dari apa yang aku dengar lagi, jenazah Ayah disembahyangkan tiga kali. Ayah dikebumikan pada hari yang sama selepas Asar, menjadikan aku anaknya yang tak dapat mengiring pemergiannya.

Ayah menghembuskan nafas terakhir ketika aku dalam kapal terbang, beberapa jam sebelum sampainya aku di KLIA. Aku yang tidur didalam kapal terbang bermimpi yang Mama menelefon aku menyatakan Ayah sudah tiada. Bila dicongak, mimpi itu sama masanya dengan pemergian Ayah. Mungkin itu caranya untuk menjadikan aku lebih bersedia dengan berita yang aku terima sebaik sahaja mencecahkan kaki di KLIA.

Aku redha dengan pemergian Ayah. Tiada apa yang boleh aku sangkal. Aku tidak pernah menyoal kenapa Mama tidak menunggu kepulangan aku sebelum mengebumikan Ayah. Aku sedar semuanya ketentuan ILLAHI dan tiada apa yang boleh dipersoalkan. Aku sedar semua yang berlaku ada hikmahnya. Alhamdulillah, aku mula nampak antara hikmah-hikmah itu. Aku bersyukur yang aku menerima dugaan ini dalam kedudukan aku sebagai seorang umat Islam, membuatkan aku lebih sabar dan tabah dalam menghadapi dugaan ini.

Banyak lagi kisah Ayah yang belum aku ceritakan. Terlalu banyak kenangan aku bersama Ayah. Tapi cukuplah untuk kali ini. Aku akan ceritakan lagi tetapi buat masa ini, biarlah segala kisah dan kenangan itu aku simpan dahulu.

Semoga rohnya sentiasa dicucuri rahmat.
Al-Fatehah.

Mama, Ayah dan Alin, University of Warwick.

Ayah,
Alin nak Ayah tahu yang Alin sentiasa rindukan Ayah dan Ayah akan sentiasa berada di hati Alin. I love you, Ayah.

Fear of Oats..

2007-10-01T08:42:00.000+08:00

I have never eaten oats before. Takut. Takut dgn rasenye yang mungkin tawar itu. Lagi pon healthy food ni kan jarang ade yg sedap kan. But then, hati tergerak nk makan oats for sahur setelah nampak bende ni kat ASDA hari tuh.

Mungkin it was not the oats that attracted me most, but maybe it was the price of that thing. 99p sahaja per box of 5 sachets. 3 boxes for only GBP2. Ade la perasaan gatal nk beli 3 kotak terus kan since there are three flavours available pon, Chocolate, Raspberry n Apple and Original Taste. Tp pikir jugak dulu yg I should give this thing a try first. Klu sedap baru beli lg.

So, this is how the Oatibix Porridge looks like after being cooked. Nak masak senang jer. Reneh 160 ml of milk till almost boil and then put in one sachet of Oatibix Porridge. Then, tunggu until the mixture is thick enough and Voila! Siap dah. Buleh makan.

Yang polka dot merah tu raspberry ye adek-adek. Rase Oatibix Porridge ni buleh laa. Sedap la jugak tp nasib baik tak beli sampai 3 kotak hr tuh. If you know what I mean. :P

Currently, struggling my way out to finish this one. Should have cooked half a sachet je.

Of telekung and Casper the friendly ghost.

2007-09-27T12:13:00.000+08:00

This week is a Freshers' Week in Marjon and it seems that the local students have been partying and drunk all night every night. We had our teraweh in one of the classrooms and while praying, we heard drunken guys singing down on the road. So, yesterday, during moreh after the teraweh, Ejat was asking each and everyone of us to be extra careful since every Wednesday night is a gathering night for all the sports students and it's freshers' week anyway. It's definite that drunk people are gonna be everywhere. Then, one of the Cohort 3s were saying that they've been called Jesus by these local students. It was either that the local students were drunk at that time, or just simply because we had our telekung on for teraweh. We laughed upon hearing the story and I simply said, "If that happened again some other time, tell them we are not Jesus, we are just Casper the friendly ghost."

*roll on the floor laughing*

Spot on.

An Academic Update.

2007-09-24T14:11:00.000+08:00

I have just finished writing 3000+ words of my dissertation. Penat sungguh. Hopefully, Tracy wont reject any of the ideas or else I have to make major changes. It is tiring when you actually succeed in writing 1/3 of your dissertation only to be told that half of it is not relevant or appropriate. It makes you feel demotivated. I felt that there is no point of writing if people keep on rejecting your work. Yes, I know, they are trying to help, to make sure that we are on the right track. But, you do get tired, don't you? Especially when you think you can move on to a different chapter and moving away to different kind of books. Anyway, I have to stop whining. Whining doesn't get you anywhere, kan.

Can I ask for some favour from all of you? Tell me what do you think of this.

Characteristics and needs of young learners:

young learners learn language through acquisition and learning

young learners need motivation to learn a second language
young learners have the ability to use their imagination
young learners have the creativity to use limited language resources
young learners like to work alone but in company of others
young learners have short attention span

Please, please tell me what you think. I want some opinion of others as well.

Your cooperation is highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Just when I thought I am going to stop buying pink-coloured things slowly, I had my phone upgraded to this.

Kihkihkih. Maybe I still have the pink in me. Or maybe I'm just legally blonde. :P

Lelaki ini.

2007-09-03T12:36:00.000+08:00

I would like this song to be sung at my wedding. Sweet, kan?

Lelaki Ini by Anuar Zain

Kasih, kenanganku
Ingatkah saat saat dulu
Kasih, apakah dirimu
Merasakan semua itu

Ke mana pun langkahku pergi
Ku masih melihat bayanganmu cintaku
Dan kemana pun arah anginku berlari
Hati ini masih kau miliki

Lelaki ini yang selalu mencintamu
Selalu, tanpa ragu
Lelaki ini yang selalu memuja
Hanya dirimu
Yang bertakhta dalam sanubariku
Sanubari ku
Aku yang mencintakan mu
Hanya dirimu…

Karena cintaku, tak berbatas waktu
Karena cintaku, tak mengenal jenuh hatimu
Hatimu…

I'm just impressed..

2007-08-31T00:33:00.000+08:00

Somebody did wish me a happy birthday.
It's just that I didn't get his message because I had my UK number switched off.

Tee hee hee.

Thanks to Ana, I have something to keep my blog updated. Haha. I've been wanting to put comments to her entry, but Blogspot has denied them. I can't even comment my own entry. Something is definitely wrong with either Blogspot or the internet connection.

So, here's the tagged entry.

My Earliest Memory is... waiting for Mama and Ayah at the announcement counter after the missing child announcement was made. Yes, I was the missing child.

At school, I... was hit by the door and had to be stitched just below my right eyebrow.

My First Relationship was... nice but I don't think I want to remember it.

I Don't Like Talking About... my weight. :P

My Most Treasured Possesion is (are)... my memories I had with Ayah.

My Parents Always Told Me... to remember my roots.

My Most Humiliating Moment was... being called to the Penyelia Petang's office just because I was sitting next to a boy in the classroom.

My Happiest Moment was... when I get to spend some quality time with the whole family.

Friends Say I Am... strong.

At Home I Cook... things that I want to eat or something that Mama has asked me to cook.

My Last Meal Would Be... Mama's homecook meal.

My Favourite Gadget is... my 4-year-old laptop.

I'm Very Bad at... controlling my urge to eat. Kehkehkeh.

When I was A Child, I Wanted To... become a model.

The Book(s) that Changed My Life is (are)... my school books.

It's Not Fashionable but I Love... to bake the old butter cakes in different flavour.

If Only I Could... ask Ayah to stop smoking.

My Greatest Fear is... to die without iman.

I'm Always Asked About... currently, how long have I been home and how much longer till my flight back to Plymouth.

If I Wasn't Me, I'd Like To Be... no one else. Just the plain me.

At The Moment, I'm Watching... Death Tunnels.

My Worst Job was... to find out Malay students who coupled with non-Malay students. That irritates me till today.

I Often Wonder.. what if I told Sarah and Paul about Ayah earlier.

That's it. Can't wait to read Syada's, Tasha', Soya's and Nina's entry. They've been tagged too. Hee hee.

Oh ya, can't wait for tomorrow too.

:P

2007-08-15T20:56:00.000+08:00

i want my star wars notebook back.
can someone suggest some ways how to get it back?
i can't simply tell the person i gave the book to that i want it back.

uhuk uhuk..

:(

why la i gave him the book at the first place, knowing that i have my notes in there.

*sigh*

Of 'sehattnyer u!!' and shopping..

2007-08-07T12:06:00.000+08:00

Finally, an update. Hehe.

I went to KL last week and from the 3 people I made plans to meet up with, I received 2 'sehattnyyerrrrr u!!!' and 1 'alin, ko cam dah kurus!'. Both 'sehatttnyyyeeerrrrr u!!!' were from Pn Fazlinah and Pn Rozanna, my lecturers from my foundation years in IPBA. Congratulations to both of them for receiving scholarships to pursue their Ph. D. locally and oversea. The only compliment I received about me being kurus was from my ex-room mate in MMU whom I have not seen in years, Farah, who is also a third cousin of mine. My grandfather and her grandfather are cousins.

I spent most of my time in KL shopping. I had dinner with my two sisters at Mid Valley's Manhattan Fish Market, thanks to my second sister, Jaja, who paid for the dinner. I also bought a new pair of shoes from Nose and a Clinique lipstick. The next day, Pn Rozanna treat me a lunch at Lucky Garden's Strudels in Bangsar with her two sons. And then I went tudung and brooch shopping at Jalan TAR and window shopping in Sogo. My sister and I then went straight to a pasar malam in Bandar Tun Razak to find something to eat. My first ever pasar malam since I came back home. Manjung punyer pasar malam pon tak pegi lagi. Haha. Seems pathetic kan. The day after that I had lunch with Farah at KLCC's Pizza Hut and then bought a Guess purse which was on sale. Puas hati la sangat-sangat. Ahaks.

I guess this is all for today. Really dont' know what to talk about tau. Maybe it's because I have been doing nothing for the past few weeks. Hahaha.

I'll get things updated later ye. If there's any. :)

Bismillahhirahmannirrahim~

2007-07-21T01:04:00.000+08:00

Ya Allah...
Seandainya telah engkau catatkan...
Dia milikku tercipta buatku...
Satukanlah hatinya dengan hatiku...
Titipkanlah kebahagiaan antara kami...
agar kemesraan itu abadi...
Ya Tuhanku yang Maha Mengasihi...
Seiringkanlah kami melayari hidup ini...
ketepian yang sejahtera abadi...

Ya Allah...
Seandainya telah Engkau takdirkan...
dia bukan milikku...
bawalah ia jauh dari pandanganku...
luputkanlah dia dari ingatanku...
dan peliharalah aku dari kekecewaan...

Ya Allah ya Tuhanku yang Maha Mengerti...
berikanlah aku kekuatan...
melontar bayangannya jauh ke dada langit...
hilang bersama senja nan merah...
agarku bisa bahagia...
walaupun tanpa bersama dengannya...
dan Ya Allah yang tecinta...
gantilah yang telah hilang...
tumbuhkanlah kembali yang telah patah...
walaupun tidak sama dengan dirinya...

Ya Allah Ya Tuhanku...
pasrahkanlah aku dengan takdirmu...
sesungguhnya apa yang telah Engkau takdirkan...
adalah yang terbaik buatku...
kerana Engkau maha Mengetahui...
segala yang terbaik buat hambaMu ini...

Ya Allah...
cukuplah engkau sahaja yang jadi pemeliharaku...
di dunia dan di akhirat...
dengarlah rintihan dari hambaMu yang daif ini...
jangan Engkau biarkan aku sendirian...
di dunia ini mahupun di akhirat...
menjuruskan aku ke arah kemaksiatan dan kemungkaran...
maka kurniakanlah aku seorang pasangan yang beriman...
supaya aku dan dia sama-sama dapat membina kesejahteraan hidup...
ke jalan yang Engkau redhai...
dan kurniakanlah padaku...
keturunan yang soleh...

Amin... Ya Rabbal A'lamin...

home~

2007-07-11T07:57:00.000+08:00

I am blogging from home..

weeeehhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..

Blogging from the hotel..

2007-07-09T17:21:00.000+08:00

I am currently using the internet service provided buy the hotel to their customers. I am staying at The 4* Radisson Edwardian Hotel in Heathrow. What happened was the flight that was supposed to take me and other passengers to Doha was cancelled due to technical problems. First, it was delayed because another flight was late and the airline has to wait for that flight first, then, it was an electrical power something problem and by that time we had already waited for two hours. Not long after that, we were told that we will be able to board in 10-15 minutes time, and when they had people from the first and business class queued up, the airline made an announcement and told us that due to the power electrical something breakdown, the computer system was affected and they are looking for technicians and spare parts to get the plane fixed.

They told us that fixing the plane is going to take some time, so they had given us lunch vouchers worth £15 per person. Right after lunch, they told us that the flight is cancelled and we have to go through passport control and claim our baggage. By that time it was almost 5pm. At around 6, we reached at the hotel and at 8, dinner was served. Kek diyer sedap. We were also given free breakfast which I didn't get the opportunity to indulged because I did not received any further details about our replacement flights and I had to stand right in front of the person in charged so that I can get the details as soon as possible.

So, I am now on the MH001 direct flight from Heathrow to Kuala Lumpur, departing at 2200 hours and arriving at 1725 the next day. Hanis is on the afternoon flight.

I was feeling rather sad and at one point I feel like crying. I was able to refrain myself from crying every time I talked to my mom on the phone. But when I got to know that the flight was cancelled, I called her again and I was crying the moment she said jangan nangis yer. :P. Not my fault, hehe, sedeh tau.

I've taken some photos of the room that they put us in. I'll upload them later k.

Ok then, I'll update things later. Hopefully I will then be blogging from home.

Under the Sea..Deedit Deedit..

2007-07-07T04:53:00.000+08:00

I went to all female swimming session for the third time today and I realised that I can actually swim. I know how to swim, a bit, and for the past two weeks I was swimming UNDERWATER 'katak' style. (tak boleh timbul ok..kahkahkahkah). So today, I tried to do it. To do the 'freestyle' swimming. That's what I called it when I had my swimming lessons 13 years ago. And I did swim. I even went further than I used to with my underwater 'katak' style. Hehe. Excited k, dapat tau buleh berenang sebenarnyer. Hehehehe. I used to tell people that I can't swim. Now I don't have to. I can tell them that I can swim, but I'm going to need much more stamina to go even further. Penat tau~~~

p/s: Now I have something to boast about at home.

pp/s: I AM DONE PACKING..

I have just check the internet. Freestyle swimming is a correct term. 'Katak' style is called breaststroke.

current mode: Fahrin Ahmad

2007-07-04T06:40:00.000+08:00

Since I have no idea of who's picking me up from the airport on Monday, can I make a tiny little request?

Can I have Fahrin Ahmad waiting for me, please? Maybe, with a bunch of flowers?

If that's too much, Fahrin Ahmad alone would definitely be fine.

hikhik..

p/s: I've told you, I'm a daydream believer.

More books coming!

2007-07-04T01:22:00.000+08:00

I am done with skimming and scanning of 3 books on teaching literature. There are more to come and I'm already feeling tired. Ok, I admit, I'm feeling lazy. :P

Adeeeeihhh, why so lazy eh?

Look at those files. Those are articles that I need to look through for literature and support for justification of choosing the text. Thank God that I don't have to look at each one of them. Some maybe irrelevant to me because those files are Tqa's collections for her dissey.

Rajin mak cik ni membuat koleksi~~ keh keh..Ampun Tqa..Ammpuunnnn..

Maybe I need to stop here because maybe I need to continue working.

Or maybe, maybe I should eat a bowl of Maggi Tom Yam before I continue.

;D

progress..

2007-07-02T08:45:00.000+08:00

The Literature in the Classroom portfolio has made a slightly bigger progress. I am now done with the activities and the activity plans for all three types of text. Tomorrow, I'm going to the library to borrow some books on literature so that I can get the justification and commentary done, hopefully by Wednesday or Thursday morning. Can't wait to hand in the portfolio really, because it means that the holiday has started and I can get things packed properly and then fly home.

Talking about flying home, I have no clue what so ever who's going to pick me up at the airport. First, I thought it was my sister, Jaja, who's picking me up. Then I heard that it's going to be Uncle Tamjis. And then suddenly it's not confirmed. Since it's not confirmed Mama jokingly said that it's going to be a surprise. Uhuhu, I love surprises. Mama told me to wait and see who's there at the airport on that day. Ha ha ha. The only thing I know for sure is it's not going to be my boyfriend or fiance or future husband. Because I just don't have one. :P

I think I really wouldn't want to know who will be waiting for me at the arrival hall. Let's just see what happens when I walk through the arrival gate on Monday. And I'll tell you who's there.

It's Haziq's 2nd birthday today. Happy Birthday, little pumpkin. Aunty Alin can't wait to see you in your cute little t-shirt from Disneyland.

If you are wondering, yes, Haziq is Baby Sin-Chan.

Enough rambling, will get more things updated later.

Daa~~

ramai orang menanam pulut,
saya seorang menanam padi,
ramai orang karam di laut,
saya seorang karam di hati.
<3

Ceritera Cinta by Jac feat Are-meer Sofaz

Bertanya sang bayu pada ku
Mengapa kau masih disitu
Tiadakah jemu kau menunggu
Ohhhhh

Dan buat seorang perindu
Penantian hanya lah waktu
Dikamus hati ku
Tiada istilah jemu
Ohhhhoh

Hentikan lah saja
Jenaka bermadah
Biasa terlalu sering ku dengar
Ceritera cinta tiada berubah
Hanya mimpi yang indah
Akhirnya nanti kecewa

Buka lah sedikit hati mu
Kenali siapa daku
Ohhh

Beri ku pendam rasa hati
Malu mengakui
Ohhhhhh oh

Hentikan lah saja jenaka bermadah
Biasa terlalu sering ku dengar
Ceritera cinta
Tiada berubah hanya mimpi (hanya mimpi) yang indah
Akhirnya nanti kecewa …

Tanpa mahu mengakui kau pon dihati
Diluar sedar kau ku rindui
Penantian (penatianmu) hanya ruang waktu
Tiba masa kan terbukti cinta ku
Ohhh
tak mudah percaya pada pengakuan aku di hati mu yang tersayang

Hentikan lah saja
Jenaka bermadah biasa terlalu sering ku dengar
Ceritera cinta tiada berubah hanya mimpi (hanya mimpi)
Yeh .. yeh .. yeh … yeh
Akhirnya nanti kecewa …

and then my dissertation tutorials have just started with tracy gilpin.. on friday i have promised her that on tuesday i'm gonna show her my interview questions for the research..also, i have promised her that before i construct the interview questions, i'm gonna do some reading so that i can ask questions that will provide the information that i want..(banyak giler that in one sentence..hahahahha~)..now it's already saturday evening and tomorrow is sunday and we'll be going to exeter on monday and then it's tuesday..mcm mane niiiii?? sempat ker?? even if i told her that i dont think i will be able to get it done by tuesday, mcm la i can do anything since she already put the tutorial sign up list on the board kan..everyone pon hr selasa..so mcm la buleh mintak tukar..

then, i have my literature portfolio which will be handed in in two weeks time..and i have started NOTHING..nada..tarak apa-apa..i'm gonna need to produce activity plans for three type of text/literature which which will last between an hour and a half to two hours..and then there's justification and commentary..and reflection..aiyooo..ehh..maybe i need to stop whining and complaining and then start choosing the three texts..kan kan kan??

love & orange

2007-06-03T18:48:00.000+08:00

love is like an orange
and i find it very strange
love is sweet
when two lovebirds meet
when hurt, love is sour, just like an orange

update & heaps of thank youssss..

2007-06-02T23:14:00.000+08:00

think that i need and i should get things updated.

been back in the uk for exactly one week and have been receiving the love and support that i needed form friends and lecturers. thank you very much.

a special thank to inted staffs, especially paul and sarah, for being able to provide help at the moment i needed most. thank you for everything, from the booking of the flight ticket to the transport arrangement. excellent job. thank you very much.

malaysian fest was a success, few hiccups here and there but still managed to pull it through. felt good that the people who came saw how hard it was to make the display for the malay wedding a success and a beautiful one. thanks to all those who have helped and sorry to all those who have to bear with my two hours of hangin-ness just before malaysian fest. i'll leave you with a picture of the malay wedding display.

happy to see pak cik bo and atuk paul aka pak cik gambar of royal mail (sorry, no picture of them sitting at the dais) at the show and again they told us how enjoyable those three weeks were when we were working with them. good news, they want us to apply for the job again if possible. thank you again.

had just called home a few hours ago. everyone is doing good, i can tell. had talked to mama and felt relieved that she was able to laugh again. proud of you, mama. strong as ever. =). thank you to mama, along, jaja and adek for being strong. thank you very much.

thank you to you for reading my blog.
