Ikan Emas.

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

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.

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.

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

Happy 28th Birthday, Along!

May you enjoy the teaching world.
And may you have all the love in this world.

Love you.


MMUUAAAHHH!
