Assalamualaykum.

Funny.

How come..
'seeing' somebody you know for quite a long time..
makes you feel disgusted?

Hysterical.

Why..
do some people change..
and be like everybody else in order to be 'accepted'?

Peculiar.

Sometimes it's hard not to notice when things have changed..
not for the better, but vice-versa.

--> What am I babbling about? Sigh~ ..just letting out my 'uneasiness' over things that have changed around me..that's all.. ;|

Pa'chik.

Assalamualaykum..

A big shout out to one of my favourite blogger.. Pa'chik..
Whom I consider my virtual friend cum uncle cum advisor..
:)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PA'CHIK!
[so you're 31 or 32 today? ;)]

On your happy day, I rather felt down~
Though I got to meet two of my dearest friends today [which had definitely made my day]..
I felt like I'm losing something slowly..
Am not gonna elaborate it anymore though.
;)

Anyways, I hope you'll be blessed with all the good things in the world and hereafter.
Amin.

Oh!

Assalamualaykum.

It's approximately 1.15 am now.. and I don't feel sleepy at all even though I spent the whole day window shopping yesterday[15/12] with Shambie..
Correction. I was the one who ONLY did window shopping whereas Mademoiselle Shambie [who just got her 2 and a half month lump sum salary] shopped till she dropped!

Dropped her bank account low, that is! Hehehehehe..

It was fun seeing other people shop.. watching the RM50 notes slipping out one by one.
But truth be told, I forced myself to be patient..it's a lo--------ng way before the next pay.
So, yesterday it was only just another day at KB Mall, 'spying' on what to buy next week..
[I've quite a long list of products from The Body Shop alone... sheisshhhh~]


Enough ramblings about the boring stuff I did at home, I was actually speechless reading this forwarded email from TKCOGA.
Perhaps you have read this somewhere.. but I'll just share it anyway..
I couldn't find the ORIGINAL article though.. Google-d it, but to no avail.
Please read, minus the pictures which are supposed to accompany this article, it's worth reading.
Makes me so proud of such devoted Muslim leader.. Ahmadinejad.
Actually he kinda reminds me of Kelantan's [or pehaps Malaysia's??] most respectful leader, Tuan Guru Hj Nik Abdul Aziz.
His modesty, I find it similar to what Tuan Guru is.
Besides that, their will to change the lives of the citizens whilst maintaining the honour of Islam, IMHO, are equally strong.
This is definitely my own personal judgment, feel free to voice out your opinion if you think otherwise.
;)

The Life of Iranian President Ahmedi Nijad'

The Fox News TV (USA) asked the Iranian President Ahmedi Nijad;

'When you look into the mirror in the morning what do you say to yourself'?

He answered: I see the person in the mirror and tell him 'Remember,
you are no more than a small servant, ahead of you today is the heavy
responsibility, and that is to serve the Iranian nation'.

Ahmedi Nijad, the Iranian President who astonished many when he first
reached to the office of the Presidency by donating all the high valued
Iranian carpets to one of the mosques in Tehran by replacing them with the
low cost ordinary carpets.

He observed that there was a huge extravagant lounge for receiving and
welcoming the VIPs and he ordered it to be closed and asked the protocol
office to arrange for an ordinary room only with the wooden chairs.

On many instances he joins the cleaning staff of the municipality
for cleaning the streets in the area where his home and the Presidency are located.

Under his authority whenever he appoints any minister to his post he
gets a signed document from him with many points, particularly
highlighting that he shall remain poor and that his personal and his
relatives accounts will be watched and the day he leaves the ministry
shall be with dignity, and therefore it is not lawful for him or his
relatives to take any advantage of his office.

First of all he declared himself for all the 'Big' wealth and the
property he owned was a Peugeot 504 car, model 1977, an old small
house inherited from his father 40-years ago in one of the poorest
zones in Tehran. His accounts with a zero balance and the only money
comes in to his a/c was from his salary from the university as a
lecturer with an amount of US$ 250 only.

For your information the President still lives in that same house. This is
all what he owns; the president of one of the world's important countries;
strategically, economically, politically and with regard to its oil and
defence.

He even doesn't take his personal salary with the argument that all the
wealth belongs to the nation and he is the safeguard over it.

One of the things that impressed the staff at the presidency is the bag
the President brings with him every day, which contains his breakfast;
some sandwiches or bread with olive oil and cheese prepared by his
wife and eats and enjoys it with all happiness.

One of the other things he changed was his personal carrier 'the
President's Aircraft' to a cargo aircraft in order to save the
spending from the public treasury and he ordered that he will be
flying with the ordinary airline in the economy class.

He organizes meetings every now and then with all the ministers to know
their activities and efficiency and he closed down the office of the
Manager of the president and any minister can enter to his office without
any permission. He also stopped the welcome ceremonies like the red
carpet, the photo session or any personal advertisement or respect of
any kind while visiting any place in the country.

Whenever he has to stay in any of the hotels he asks them to make sure not
to give him a room with any big bed because he doesn't like to sleep on
beds but rather likes to sleep on the floor on a simple mattress with a
blanket.

Refer to some of the photographs which also confirm the above.


The Iranian president is sleeping in the guest room of his house after
getting away from his special guards who follow him wherever he goes and
photo is taken by his small brother according to the Wifaq Newspaper which
published this photo and the next day the photo was published in most of
the world's newspapers and magazines and particularly the Americans.

During the prayer you can see that he is not sitting in the first row.

And the final photo is of his dining room where the president is busy
eating his simple meal.

* * * * *

It may sounds/looks too good to be true, and is arguable.
But let's say it's for real, don't you think he's an awesome leader?
I shall look for the origin of this article..and the photos** too.
But upon reading the email, I recalled Pa'chik's entry regarding our ministers' monthly salary..

I laughed hard. Sheepishly.

If there's an army of Ahmadinejads in our country, I guess we'll be living in Heaven on earth.
Then again, that will be too good to be true too, right?
Wassalam.

**Just as I was about to'report' to Pa'chik that I already posted an entry, I was shocked to see that he ALSO posted an entry on Ahmadinejad. [Macam janji-janji pulak..hehehe..] Oh, and I managed to get the photos at last.

:)

bonjour!

Assalamualaykum.

It took me a few text messages by Madame Asni when I finally decided to update here.
Was I busy 'elsewhere'??
Hrmmmmmmmmmmm...
Well, not really but partially yes. Hehe.

So many things that I really wanna share here, but right at this very moment, nothing seems to be coming out from my mind.
My fingers just keep on knocking on the keyboard without no specific topic at all.
Perhaps it's better for me to just be the reader this time.
At least during this school holidays.

Being at home is kinda distracting for me,you know..
Why?? THE KITCHEN is always calling out for me. LOL
I spent most of my time baking [if not sleeping in my room..hehe]

This couple of week I managed to bake a good almond tart for my family.
My first attempt,and according to Ma, it was scrumptious. Ehemmm!
Besides that, a chocolate cake [Abah's favourite now] and a horrible-looking-yet-delicious fruit pudding.
Tomorrow insyaAllah it will be either chocolate brownies or chocolate cupcakes.
[Baking gives me satisfaction somehow...]

I've been watching Martha Stewart quite religiously now, so no wonder lah kan?
Hehehehehehehehehe..

I guess that's all for now.
A little update from me just to make sure everybody knows I'm still around.

Wassalam.

freedom

Assalamualaykum.

These days, I mourn over the un-democratic situations in our country.
I feel like the freedom to state one's own opinion is blocked.
Citizens are being treated like rubbish.. with no mercy at all.
I wonder if this is the peaceful Malaysia we always boast about?

True, demonstration or street rally is not our 'budaya'.
Starting from the Batu Buruk incident to the BERSIH rally and the latest was the Hindraf demo.
But IMHO, the demonstrations would never turned out to be ugly if our police force did their part well.
After all they didn't mean any harm to the public at all.
If they weren't provoked with water canon and poison gas, I doubt they would act violently.
This is rather a case of something that was suposed to be so simple and easy to handle turned the other way around.

Truth be told, this entry is not my way of letting out my wrath against the government.
But watching the recent events,just made my heart ache.
There are definitely better ways to handle stuff but we preferred the hard and harsher way.
THE WORLD IS WATCHING US..
Sadly the 'friendly Malaysians' remains a tale now.

Media blackout?
Now that's another story to be wrapped up next time.

In the mean time I just need to ease my sadness upon what's happening in our beloved country.
And by that I mean another fruit pudding coming right up into my fridge!
Hehehehehehehe..

Wassalam.

Result.

Assalamualaykum.

So sorry for the long silence..
[not that anyone cares..]
I've been busy with things at work.
The usual stuff that need to be done before school ends.
Hence, I couldn't find time to blog or even blog-hopping...
[I miss reading pa'chik's ramblings.. Ms Istanbul's stories.. et cetera..]

Alhamdulillah, my kids bring a smile to me today.
2 of my kids scored 5As in their UPSR examination.
That's BIG news for us teachers in such small school like mine.
Sadly, my school Headboy got 4As and 1C.. his C was for my subject!
Huhhuhuhuhuhu.. felt like crying..
But seeing his I'm-already-satisfied-with-those-As face, I smiled.
I know my kids had done their best.

Alright, I guess that's all for now.
Still got some work to do before going back tomorrow.
Take care!!

Wassalam.

Hope?

Assalamualaykum.

Last Tuesday, I visited my colleague [as mentioned here].
It was good to see that she took it really well.
Upon listening to her story on how her son died, I held back my tears.
She's just so strong. So strong. :|

Hence, I think we can't be sad all the time, can we?

That day I also met my best friend Mizot before she leaves for Fukui,Japan..
[which she already has by now..]
And on the same day I went home to my mummy+daddy [as I was already in Pasir Mas..]
Hehehehehehehehehehehe.
Managed to bake a chocolate brownie and Alhamdulillah, according to my colleagues the next day, the brownie pieces were scrumptious.
[or perhaps they were just trying to be polite.. to make me feel good.. LOL]

Something 'big' happened too.. the night I was at home.
Something that brought smiles to my face and causing me to oversleep.
And making me texted my superior that I was gonna be a bit late to school. :D
That thing just made me wanna share this song with y'all reading this.
Do cherish the lovely melody of the song and the beautifully written lyrics.
[and I dedicate this song especially to Ms Istanbul.. ;)]

SERIBU TAHUN - by Imran Ajmain
[OST 'Kerana Cintaku Saerah']

Relaku menunggumu seribu tahun lama lagi
Tapi benarkah hidup aku akan selama ini
Biar berputar utara selatan ku tak putus harapan
Sedia setia

Relaku mengejarmu seribu batu jauh lagi
Tapi benarkah kaki ku-kan tahan sepanjang jalan ini
Biar membisu burung bersiulan terlelah gelombang lautan
Ku masih setia

Adakah engkau tahu... ini cinta
Adakah engkau pasti... ini untuk selama-lamanya

Relaku menunggumu seribu tahun lama lagi
Tapi benarkah hidup aku akan selama ini...
Biar berputar utara selatan ku tak putus harapan
Sedia setia

Jangan putus harapan...
Sedia setia...

Fate.

Assalamualaykum.

Last night, while chit-chatting with my sister I was shocked to hear from the news that Dr Sheikh Muszaphar's brother had passed away.
Pardon my ignorance, as I was not aware of the incident happened to his younger brother last week.
I was later informed by my sister of what happened resulting Allahyarham in coma for approximately 7 days.

The news got me thinking.. it silenced me for a while.
We as humans have definitely no idea of what to happen in the future.
Fate Allah has written clearly proved its truth.

MasyaAllah, I dare not think of how their mother [especially] must have felt.
As she was thinking about Dr Muszaphar's safety, suddenly a tragedy happened to her other son and causing death some more?
My deep condolences to all of Dr Sheikh Muszaphar's family..sincerely from the bottom of my heart.
I do hope that they'll be strong in order to overcome this trial.

Let's all recite Al-Fatihah to the deceased, Allahyarham Sheikh Mustafa Shukor Al-Masrie Sheikh Mustapha.
Semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat ke atas roh beliau dan ditempatkan di kalangan orang² beriman.
Amin.

Wassalam.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-29th October 2007
At approximately 10.00 a.m. today, I received another devastating news.
A colleague of mine who had just gave birth to a baby boy on 2 Syawal lost her only son this morning.
Allahyarham was only managed to be around for 15 days and all that while he was in the ICU in HUSM, not within his parents and family's embrace.
According to my other colleague, the baby died in his mother's arm.. :(
Again, Al-Fatihah to the baby.. :((

Reasons...

Assalamualaykum.

Things happen for a reason, and sometimes the reason is beyond our understandings.

I have my own reasons why I did what I did.. and most of the times I just need people to understand without questioning why.

Freedom is what I need but somehow I feel as if it's been taken away far from me, bit by bit till I'm suffocating.

Sometimes, I think being incognito to some is a blessing in disguise! sigh..

No explanation.

Wassalam.

p/s: To 'anonymous' in the previous entry.. yes, I know Ustzh. Soliha.. :)

Eid'07

Assalamualaykum.

I guess I won't be blogging until Eid.
Today InsyaAllah I'll be going back to my hometown..
(as I always have every weekend!! LOL)

So, I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all of you readers..

A happy+blissful celebration of Eid.
And sorry for all my wrong doings..

Selamat Hari Raya Eid-ul-Fitr..
Maaf Zahir dan Batin.. :)


Wassalam~

MyRamadhan~

Assalamualaykum..

I try not to be "malas" this time.
This new template should encourage me to write more.
But until now, the feeling remains the same.
It seems like whenever I try to post an entry here, my mind just goes numb.
Blank.

Well, perhaps I should just share with anyone reading this blog about my Ramadhan this year.

Alhamdulillah, I feel like there's something extra special about this holy month of Ramadhan.
This Ramadhan in particular.
It's something that I can't really explain further, but I know it's special.
For Asni, maybe it's because this is her first Ramadhan being a wife, so no elaboration for that.
So obvious that this Ramadhan is extra special to you, darling. :)

But for yours truly, well as I said I can't say much because I don't understand it either.
Maybe the way I 'celebrate' Ramadhan is different this year.
In what way?

• This Ramadhan, Mum doesn't have to force me to go to the mosque for Taraaweh.. LOL
• This Ramadhan, I started to enjoy going to ceramah agama with my parents every Friday.
• This Ramadhan, I get to spend quality times with both my family and friends.
• This Ramadhan, I get to know quite A LOT of new friends [read:bloggers], they're all phenomenal!
  
• This Ramadhan, insyaAllah I'll be finishing the 30 juzu' of AlQuran.. [I started longggg ago, not on the 1st Ramadhan itself though.. :(]
  

So, maybe it's the way I fulfill this holy month that makes it extra special pour moi.
All I know is, Syawal this year won't be as good as before.
I don't get to see quite a lot of my acquaintances this Eid.
Sigh~

Wassalam..

Five(s)

Assalamualaykum..and good morning.

I was in front of the PC during free period and was thinking of what should I write today..
I thought hard but instead I clicked on Asni's blog and voilllllaa!!
There's today's topic! LOL

Actually it's the familiar TAG game we always have in our little blogosphere.
And since I'm clueless of what to write since this early moring, I decided to take up the 'challenge' hence completing an entry here.
Now that's killing two birds with a stone pour moi.

5 FAVORITE FOOD THAT I FEEL LIKE HAVING NOW:
[which I can..legally.. hehehehehe..]

• Asni's chocolate cake with lots of Hershey's Chocolate Syrup on it..
• My mum's Ikan Percik.
• Secret Recipe's Chicken Cornish.
• McDonald's Oreo McFlurry.
  
• Sushi..

5 FOOD THAT I'D LIKE TO HAVE FOR BREAKFAST (after Ramadhan-lah):

• Nestle Honey Stars with cold fresh milk.
• Nasi Kerabu with Daging Bakar..
• Pulut Panggang.
• Nasi Kapit with Sambal Ikan.. [one of Kelantan's special delicacies..]
• Nasi Dagang Kelantan with the same Sambal Ikan.

5 FOOD I'D MOST LIKELY BUY FOR BERBUKA TODAY:

• Guess I won't be buying anything.. will break fast with Ma+Adik at home today. :)
  

The tag game ends here, as I won't be tagging anyone.
But in case you're as clueless as I am this morning, feel free to share yours.. :)

Hrmmmm.. Ramadhan is coming to an end real soon.
I feel so sad deep down in my heart..
Hopefully we'll all get to 'meet' Ramadhan again next year..
InsyaAllah..
Sigh~

Revamped!!

Assalamualaykum.

A fresh new look from me. :)
Been wanting to use this template long ago, but I just couldn't find the time to edit the html codes et cetera.

So, people.. next time if I stop updating for quite a some time, then you guys should know why-lah.
It's either because I'm bored of the layout/template..
Or I blog somewhere else. ;)

Wassalam~

psst..how's my new template look like? nice or not...? :D

Quiz!

Assalamualaykum.

Am really sorry to those who have been visiting this page and find no update whatsoever from yours truly.
These past few days I was not really in the mood to post anything.
As always, I need someone to 'wake me up' from this laziness.
And this time around, it's pa'chik. [Boring ekkk kena Teh 'O' je?? ;p]
LOL..


Actually, today I don't really feel like writing either.
So, who's up for a short quiz? :D

Okay, there's this picture here..
I've numbered 6 of the Kelantan kuehs..
Can you give me the name of those delicacies?
[pa'chik...jgn malukan oghe Kelate..heheheheh..]
Please click on the picture for bigger view.



Selamat mencuba!!
:)

Ramadhan 1428

Assalamualaykum.

And Alhamdulillah..
For this year Allah has granted us another chance to perform our ibadah [fasting]..
To start off this holy month of Ramadhan, I'd like to apologize to everyone reading this blog.
Sorry if I've wronged you in any way..
Purposely or vice versa.
Please find it in your heart to forgive all my wrong doings.

"These days of, the month of Ramadān, wherein the Qur'ān was revealed, from the Preserved Tablet to the earthly heaven on the Night of Ordainment [laylat al-qadr] from Him, a guidance (hudan, 'a guidance', is a circumstantial qualifier), guiding away from error, for the people, and as clear proofs, lucid verses, of the Guidance, the rulings that guide to truth, and, of, the Criterion, that discriminates between truth and falsehood.."

Selamat Menjalani Ibadah Puasa...
Wassalam~

Fever!

Assalamualaykum..

It's the High School Musical 2 FEVER and I'm feeling it!
La la la la la~
I just can't wait to see the sequel tonight..
There's no need to be thinking whether I've gone nuts or what..
I am like that sometimes..
Especially when my 'jiwa keanak-anakan' kicks in.
[I do watch SpongeBob,Avatar and Hannah Montana quite religiously, you know..]
Hahahahhahaha..

When There Was Me And You

It's funny when you find yourself
Looking from the outside
I'm standing here but all I want
Is to be over there
Why did I let myself believe
Miracles could happen
Cause now I have to pretend
That I don't really care

I thought you were my fairytale
A dream when I'm not sleeping
A wish upon a star
Thats coming true
But everybody else could tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
When there was me and you

I swore I knew the melody
That I heard you singing
And when you smiled
You made me feel
Like I could sing along
But then you went and changed the words
Now my heart is empty
I'm only left with used-to-be's
Once upon a song

Now I know your not a fairytale
And dreams were meant for sleeping
And wishes on a star
Just don't come true
Cause now even I can tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
Cause I liked the view
When there was me and you

I can't believe that
I could be so blind
It's like you were floating
While I was falling
And I didn't mind

Cause I liked the view
Thought you felt it too
When there was me and you
+ + + + +

The melody of the song was quite boring actually, hence I won't upload it here.
But I kinda like the lyrics though. Hehehehe..
And I think I fell asleep during the part when Gabriella was singing this particular song.
Hahahahahahhahaha..

Wassalam~

3MlmTnp( * )

Assalamualaykum..

I've never realized the significance of this song until today.
As always, I cherised the lyric of any songs best while I'm driving.
And for this song it's no difference..
Man, what's wrong with me??
Wasn't I supposed to be ignorant?

Fiq (Mentor) - 3 Malam Tanpa Bintang.

Kasih.. maafkan diriku
Banyak dosaku padamu
Tidak terhitung jari jemari daku
Tak dapat dibilang bagai bintang beribu
Sukarnya diriku menebus kekhilafan yang lalu

Kasih.. engkau tak bersalah
Hanya hatiku yang buta
Tulus dan ikhlas kau korban jiwa raga
Dan tanpa belas ku buat kau kecewa
Ku tahu dirimu sukar melupakan segalanya

Tiga malam tanpa bintang
Dan diriku dihimpit penyesalan
Arah tuju kian fanaKerna hilangnya manira
Bagaikan siang diselubung gerhana

Kembalikan senda tawa

Pulangkanlah manis disenyum manja
Ku pahatkan keinsafan
Dan patrikan kesetiaan
Sehingga nadi menafikan nyawa

+ + + + +

Pa'chik (and everybody)..
Please bear with me for a few more days ok? ;p
I think this won't take long..
The personality 'transition' is not that easy as it seems to be.

Psssst.. Shambie darling..
Do excuse our extremely short date last night.
So short you only managed to finish only a slice of that finger-licking papperoni dip-licious pizza.
[some more with Nuqman around and the waiter who acted like he's chasing us away..LOL!!]

Wassalam~

Decision.

Assalamualaykum.

To me, I'm a terrible decision maker.
I do things when time is almost running out.
People closest to me [especially my colleagues + boss], are well aware of this bad quality of mine.

On a different note, I'm getting better at making things worse these days.
But heck, I'm a different person now [I wish!!!]..
I am selfish, cruel and couldn't care less of what's happening around me.
As long as I'm happy, I'm happy.. [on the outside at least.]
Come to think of it, that's just another bad quality I've acquired, kan?
LOL

Getting back to the topic, I'm beginning to consider closing down this account @blogspot.
As much as I love my identity "fizhasan", I'm suffocating now.
I can't breathe here anymore.. and my mind is getting numb each day.
Perhaps I shouldn't reopen after the short hiatus status last time.

But still, I looooooooooove writing.
This passion I have for writing, no one can ever take it away.
Hence this blog is the place for me to let out my feelings.
[This is the downside of being single+available, ok people? Should I have a boyfriend, he might end up dead deaf by now listening to me whining.. huhu~]

However, it is still in my consideration.
I might close down this 'premise', but InsyaAllah I won't disappear in this blogosphere.
It is afterall, THE place where I got to know loads and loads of unforgettable, extraordinary and special people like:

KAK RUBY, ABE ID,KAK PB,PA'CHIK,DR SO'OD,ACHIK
and the list goes on..

They have all touched my heart in their own special kind of ways.
Up to a point that I felt like I've known them for ages.

Yes, I am terribly confused now.
But no, I don't think I felt a pang of guilt anymore.
I've just turned into the virtual version of "Cruella De Vil".

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Uncomfortable.

Assalamualaykum..



Sometimes I don't really understand LIFE.
Why should it be so difficult to understand?
Why must it bring sadness and confusion to me when all I need is PEACE?
Why, oh why??

These past few weeks I've been trying hard to be joyous.
To show my happy face to everyone..
I fought with my own emotion..trying to forget the sadness.
And the GUILT.

But in the end what good does that give me?
None. Nothing at all.

Perhaps I should be CRUEL this time around.
I should stop caring..
Because by showing that I care, I only make matters worse.
So ironic, don't you think?

Fate

Assalamualaykum.

I'm a big believer of the Fate Allah has bestowed on us.
Yesterday, it came unexpectedly true to me.
Patience has always been one of my virtues, and alhamdulillah..it pays.
I have to restrain myself from elaborating about it further.
As I promised myself not to talk to other people about it anymore.
Enough said that it brought tears of joy to me.

Ironically, a small spot in my heart ached too.. +sigh+

Feel like I'm talking nonsense? LOL
I just can't wait for today's school hours to end actually.
It's my students' last day of UPSR.
And tomorrow it's finally MERDEKA for yours truly..
Yeayyyyyyy!!! Hehehehehehe..

UPSR

Assalamualaykum..

Today is THE DAY.
At this very moment my kids are fighting for their battle.. UPSR..
If you're reading this, I'd like to ask for a favor.

Please recite AL-FATIHAH for my kids.
Once is good enough.
Hopefully your prayers and mine will help them go through the exam.

Semoga dipermudahkan segala urusan mereka..
Aminnnnnnn~

Wassalam~

145th

Assalamualaykum.

According to Blogger, this is my 145th entry for this blog.
Hrmmmmm.. that shows my so called 'enthusiasm' to write.
Only that much in three years of blogging here.
LOL

Anyway, today is the Merdeka Celebration @my school.
Just now we had our short assembly..
The kids sang a few songs and as for your truly, the duty never change.
I'm the 'honourable photographer' of the day..
[am using the digital camera not DSLR like 'some people'.. LOL]

Achik asked me to write about my trip to Langkawi.
[Hehehehhehe.. that bad kan? I have to have people remind me to update!! LOL]
Well, to cut the story short, the experience was a mixture of bitter+sweet memories.
Why? Wasn't I supposed to be enjoying myself there?
Well, I did not.

On the other hand, let me tell you the whole story lah.
Since I don't have any topics to say for now.
Hehehe..

I actually looked for some infos on the hotel before I went to Langkawi.
The first impression..well enough said that it brought smiles to me..
Nice architecture, picturesque scenery,beautiful rooms et cetera.
Seeing that got me so excited.. but at the same time I did prepare myself in case things differ from what they appeared to be.

From the ferry, as we were reaching the Jetty Point, I could see the hotel from afar.
And yes, it looked exactly like what I saw in the website.
Something like this :



Nice isn't it?
It somehow reminded me of the castles in the Fairy Tales..
Cinderella, Snow White et cetera..
But in reality it's definitely not that..

I mean.. yes..the building was beautiful and all..
But what got us all disappointed was the service and hotel management.
We were informed at the lobby that the hotel did not have enough rooms for us.

WTH?!!!

From the supposedly 2 persons per room, we were given some apartments.
10-12 pax each apartment.
Rasa macam rumah kongsi pun ada!!

As soon as we got into the apartment, came another shocking 'discovery'..
Carlsberg bucket was in the living room..
And the room was FILTHY..TOTAL MESS.
Our disappointment was beyond words.. come on lah kan, they should at least ask the housekeeping to tidy+clean up the room before giving us the key.

And you think that's bad enough?
Wait till you read this..

The next morning there was no water in our apartments!!

That's insanely ridiculous, right?
Something that's unacceptable for me..
Do tell me what you think.. can we accept that kind of service?
Sigh~

Even so, I managed to get something for my family,friends and myself too.
And besides the interesting Cable Car ride and shopping, I think nothing in Langkawi interests me.
Being there, I felt as if I was in Pengkalan Kubor or Rantau Panjang..
With makcik-makcik buying pinggan mangkuk periuk belanga and all..
Hehehehehe.. the only difference is the development lah..
Back in PK & RP we don't have Starbucks or Kenny Roger's or Sembonia Boutique et cetera..
LOL

I bought lots and lots of chocolates there. [yes, puan asni.. I did..]
And a handbag+purse+necklace pour moi.

In a nutshell, the trip was only okay for me.
Not that exciting.
Then again, maybe it's the company..
Afterall, I went there with the Puteris of UMNO kan.. LOL
[Pa'chik menjeling tajam... hehehehehehe..]
Maybe it would be a different experience if I went there with my family or friends.
Wallahualam.

Wassalam~

Assalamualaykum..

Seems like my love for writing prevents me from leaving this blog for long.
As for yours truly, writing gives me a sort of satisfaction.
It feels like I'm sharing my thoughts and stories with people closest to me.
So, I really hope you'll accept me blogging again.

I've been blaming myself for quite some time now.
And I can't really say that I've stopped doing that.
I still feel that way..

Achik..Kak pB..thanks A LOT for giving me full support through the times I consider "hard".
And pa'chik for always making me laugh..
It was hard for me, even though you guys might feel otherwise.
But life must go on, and I've to face the fact.
And accept his decision.. [though that only saddens me~]

Tomorrow InsyaAllah I'll be leaving for a short trip to North.
If only I could meet him, that would be better,wouldn't it? :(
But no,on the other hand, that'll make thing even worse that it already has.

Anyways, this song means SO MUCH to me.
Do cherish the song and its meaningful lyrics.
The first time I heard it, I cried.. whole heartedly.

*****

TAPI BUKAN AKU
Kerispatih

jangan lagi kau sesali keputusanku
kutak ingin kau semakin kan terluka
tak ingin ku paksakan cinta ini
meski tiada sanggup untuk kau terima

aku memang manusia paling berdosa
khianati rasa demi keinginan semu
lebih baik jangan mencinta
biarku dan semua hatiku
karena takkan pernah kau temui
cinta sejati

berakhirlah sudah semua kisah ini
dan jangan kau tangisi lagi
sekalipun aku takkan pernah mencoba kembali padamu
sejuta kata maaf terasa kan percuma
sebab rasa ku tlah mati untuk menyadarinya

semoga saja kan kau dapati
hati yg tulus mencintaimu
tapi bukan aku

*****

Wassalam~

Guilty!!

I feel so guilty..
So guilty I almost cried..
Felt so bad for being the curious me.
And even worse for knowing things I shouldn't have..
But the worst is to know that I've made you sad.

To that person..
[ you know who you are..]
I look up to you more than anyone else.
'Seeing' you making others happy and for all I know you're hurt inside.
Please find a spot in your heart to forgive me.
For being such a jerk and causing you discomfort.

I'm so sorry~

_______________________________________

fizzy..
like i said, its nobodys fault..
so no need to feel sad, guilty, apologize etc..
i have no reason to be mad..
:)

That's how I felt nonetheless.
I know you're not angry, but like 'anonymous' said, perhaps I've made you uncomfortable/uneasy with what happened.
Ermmm..thanks for leaving a note.
I do feel a little better. :|

ALHAMDULILLAH!!

Assalamualaykum.

Praise be to Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Alhamdulillah, Salhi Khaiessa Ahmad who has been missing for the past few weeks, was found well and healthy in Kuantan Hospital.
Apparently someone had found him wondering around and decided to send him to the hospital.

This good news was informed by my best friend, fQrl just now.
I was not aware that there was a blog created by Yie's friends as soon as they heard the news about him missing.
Anyways, to have such caring friends like them is a blessing, indeed.
Your effort guys, hanya Allah dapat membalasnya. :)
Please click here for more details.

The thought of Yie going all the way to Kuantan worries me, somehow.
I really can't imagine how he ended up in Kuantan alone.
:

Syukur Alhamdulillah though, every thing's okay now.
And by now, he must've been with his family already.
InsyaAllah.


Wassalam~

Mixed!

Assalamualaykum..

Felt as if I've been leaving this blog for ages.. LOL
Well, truth be told, when blogs become partially blocked now, that affects my enthusiasm to write.
Not that there weren't any issues to be brought up and shared, actually it's the other way around.
But I wasn't just in the mood to blog.

Anyways, I have mixed feelings now.

Confused. Sad. Scared.Relieved.

There are just so many things happening at the same time.
Well, I better not think.. tomorrow insyaAllah I'm going home.
My nephews Hasif,Haziq,Nuqman and my one and only niece, Fatimah are surely the cure to all those feelings I'm having.
With them, I''ll only feel one thing :

H A P P Y

Kids... Chik is coming home tomorow!! :D

Wassalam~

Arrrggghhh!!!

Assalamualaykum.

Finally, the moment that I'm afraid of has come.
Pa'chik, if you remembered, I once told you about this fear I'm having.
I guess they didn't take much time to do this.
Or should I just keep my mouth shut next time?
[Friends being saying mulut Fizzy ni masin!!]
Kan dah kena!!! Huwaaaaaaaaa!!!

BLOCKED!!

Help!

Assalamualaykum..
During my lunch break yesterday [at the course], I checked my email and was a bit shocked to read a forwarded message from my TKC OGA.The message entitled "A brother is lost" caught my eyes and I went on reading it.
One of our OGs brother was missing since the mid of July and the family was dissappointed as the police had done almost nothing to find him.

He is 26 and mentally disabled, but that doesn't mean anyone should take this missing case very lightly.
According to Kak Leng (tkc8993) [who forwarded the message from the sister], the police even said that since the missing person is already 26, they did not prioritize the case.
Dang! Anyways, there was an article that came out in The Star last Friday.
You can read it here.


And this is the email from his sister Kak Mie (tkc8993) forwarded by Kak Leng:

Salam,
Hi all.
I know this is about to become like me airing my dirty laundry for the world to know, but I feel so desperate.I need to tell this to you girls.My brother Salhi has been ill with a psychiatric illness.Schizophrenia to be precise. He is 26 and he started having mental disturbance at 17 when he was in MCKK lagi.He was the genious of the family, the badut of the family and the best little brother anyone could ever wish for.
Past 10 years saw him deteriorating and my heart sgt sgt sebak when this time, I went to the hospital in KB to find him locked up in a cage, together with people I would not even look at, bcos they scare me. He had extra muscular twitches and gaunt facial expression. Memang tak nampak mcm my used to be little brother anymore. In between bites of coney dog ( dia suka A&W) he managed to tell me 'Nak sekolah balik Kak Mie please '. Repeatedly. I just held back tears.
We took him out, and he was stable during my wedding. Masa reception I kept him occupied with a camera so people don't feel obliged to make a petty talk with a 'weird' looking man. Everything was fine. On Friday the 13th, he left home saying he wanted to go for a walk. RM 3.50 in his pocket. He never came back. Duit tak ada, IC tak ada. We looked for him everywhere, satu Kelantan. No news.
He hasn't taken his medications for 2 weeks now, I tak tahulah how he is now.Mungkin kalau you all jalan2 kat KL nampak budak gila (I have to accept this now) talking to himself, kotor, kurus tak terurus, kejap cakap english kejap cakap kelantan, that's him. Let me know. What I fear is that he got hit by a lorry ke, in a ditch somewhere waiting to be found. I am writing almost with tears all the time. Partly because I am frustrated there wasn't much time for me in Malaysia, to do anything. Police report has been filed and my other brother has written in the Star.
Now this waiting game is making me very apprehensive.Usually he'll find means to go back to Kuala Kangsar. 2 kali he was found in MCKK in the past. His memory seemed to have stopped at that point in hislife. Allah sahajalah yang tahu why he is tested this far. To him he is still 17.
Doakan so he's looked after by people yang he come across, who would find sympathy in them to give him food and a place to shut his eyes. Insy. Amiin. And I am sorry if anybody finds this upsetting.

Love, Najmiah

Dr. Najmiah K Ahmad
Clinical Fellow in Anaesthetics
York District General.

Second message:

I go through a cycle of optimism and pessimism. Looking at how he was found last time after 4 days missing , by the roadside, cengkung and dishevelled, makan tak minum tak tidur tak, I just hope he's still alive.On the cause of his illness, I am not the best to outline the cause, but what i know is always complained about being bullied in MCKK. To what extent we didn't know because at the time it's our fault we thought he was'just saying it'.So nobody paid attention to his complaints.
After getting some prize money for his 8As PMR from a Japanese Minister he ran away from school but not to home, but to KL. When we found him he said he couldn't stand school. Nak balik rumah takut my dad marah. My dad took him out of school and he went to a school in Kelantan. Towards his SPM he was getting worse but managed 2A1 - Physics and Add Maths.
Already on tablet he joined the flying school, he was always fascinated by airplanes, always wanted to be a pilot. Half a year he was there (Kedah I think) they found his tablets and he was expelled. He took a turn for the worse.When he got slightly better I got him enrolled in a private college. He received a best student award when he was on this medication tradename Domatil. Somehow the tablet was stopped ( pricey I think) and he was on Risperidone ( for those medics who are interested) , he is never stable since and he couldn't sit his exams.
To what extent was he bullied? Was it very bad that he couldn't tell anyone? Sexually? Or was he already 'crazy' so people bullied him? Chicken ke egg ke. I reserve my comments for now on boarding schools.
May he returns safe.
Amiin.

Wallahualam.. I do hope somebody can offer some help.And if there's any MCKK OBs reading this, I also hope that you can spread this news.He was an Old Boy regardless he was only there until form 3.
Wassalam~

Course!

Assalamualaykum..

Thanks for the visits these past few days, people..
Lately I'm busy with my kids' exam.. [UPSR trials to be exact..]
Hence no posts/entries from moi since the last one.. :)
InsyaAllah I'll be updating my blog a.s.a.p.
And am having a one-day course at the moment..

And err... pa'chik... everything's ok.
:)

Wassalam.

Him.

Assalamualaykum..

Was just enjoying the pictures in Asni's blog when this song came into mind.
So happen, Idya posted the same song [minus the audio, just the lyric] in her blog not so long ago.
I guess this song is one of tkc9600 all-time favourite songs.
Not only the melody is good, the lyric is somewhat so catchy. :)
Talk about unrequited love.. Sigh~

And a few days back I was on the phone with Mlle. Shaxu.
She was really surprised actually to know that I still have feelings for him. LOL.
Dear,I didn't tell you all this while because you guys have been really close.
And another fact is that I know it's never gonna happen anyway.
I'm not hoping.. at least not anymore~

Hence, this song is just to ease my mood.
Am feeling rather 'romantic' upon seeing Asni+Asib's pictures in Langkawi. :D
[this song is dedicated to both of you.. so when's the baby coming?? hahahaha.. I can't wait!]

I hope it ends here. And by 'it' I meant the longing for him.
Scold me or whatever you want, but being me, I just can't find the courage to walk up to him and say I like him.

Wassalam~

Truth.

Assalamualaykum..

This morning as I was blog hopping, I was intrigued by Dr Am's [a.k.a So'od] entry on 8 Random Things About Himself.
Not that they are very weird or anything, but when people that I don't know [in person] write about themselves that made me feel as if I've known them for ages.
Blogging has given me another colorful and interesting circle of friends, virtual ones.
Reading their everyday lives' activities somehow made me feel close to some of them if not all.

At first, I was so tempted to do the same thing as Dr Am did, but as I was just thinking of what to write, a colleague told me about an online test for me to answer.
I don't really believe this kinda stuff actually, but since it's about interpreting myself so I thought, why don't I just give it a shot.
So there I was, sitting leisurely after class and Googling for Dr Phil's Test.
And then I answered all 10 questions.
The result was as follow:

_______________________________

Your total score is 37

Interpretation of Results
Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.

_______________________________

I'm not sure of what others [friends or family or anyone] think about me, but the rest are all nothing but the truth about myself.
It's shocking even for yours truly to read such definite interpretation, but I guess Dr Phil must've got something in his brain to come up with this kind of personality test.

Yuppp, I don't make friends too quickly or easily, but once I did, it's for life insyaAllah.
Regarding trust, I admit the whole truth had been interpreted and well stated there.
Maybe it's my bad because I trust people who I consider a friend easily but once that trust is broken, there goes everything.
It takes me a longer time to forget everything.
(read here.. [being cheated by your own friend who you consider like your own lil' sister hurts.])

But I guess Dr Phil left out one thing in the interpretation.

When I'm mad at someone, I avoid him/her.
I just can't confront somebody who I'm angry at.
At least not for some time..

Hehehehe.. we are after all, humans..
And as humans, nobody is perfect.

Wassalam.

p/s: Have a safe journey, Dr Am.. InsyaAllah if time permits I'll have my own vacation too next week. :)

Aboon~

Assalamualaykum..

On July 15th, she flew to Sydney for her Masters.
I was a bit disappointed because I didn't get to talk to her right before she boarded her plane.
But Alhamdulillah, knowing that she wasn't by herself [Asni+Asib managed to send her off], I felt a bit relieved.

Babe..you take care okay?
Thank God we had our little 'date' with Shambie on the 14th.
That day I was not feeling that sad, it was only for a year, I kept telling myself that.
But when we said our last goodbyes then it hit me hard.

I won't be able to talk to you anytime I want anymore..
We won't be able to exchange stories about our 'crushes' like we always do.
No more hanging out during weekends when you came home.
And most importantly, Eid this year won't be the same without you, Aboon.

Wassalam.

p/s: I'm happy for you for that 'ring'! ehemmmmmm~

Sigh~

Assalamualaykum..

I think my life is so disorganized right now.
I've got a pile of work that needs to be done a.s.a.p.
Reports, worksheets, timetables..
And worse, tomorrow we're having a meeting with the parents regarding the exam results [which by the way can't be proud of at all!]
I can't see the importance of having this kind of meeting when most of the parents don't really care whether their children come to school or not.
Shheeeeesh!! Blame my BAD time management for this!
I tend to do work at the last minutes or close to deadlines.
[my 'motto': "I WORK BEST UNDER PRESSURE"]
Yeah, righttt!! Hehehehehe..

And there's this problem with my house mate.
I think she's just been swindled by her boyfriend [who used to be our school Pak Guard -not that it matters.. LOL]
Actually I'm in a dilemma right now.. whether to tell her family or just keep my mouth shut.
Maybe I should mind my own 'unfinished' business, but then I can't stop thinking how big of a fool she has been since they became a couple.

Let's analyze her situation:

She broke her engagement with her fiance (read here) a few months back and almost right after that the Pak Guard [PG] came into the picture.
He 'took her heart away' lah konon-kononnya.
I don't have any problem with what he does for a living, so long as it's HALAL, then again his stories or shall I say 'tales' to my house mate Y were so stupidly unbelievable.
What sort of stories? Here are some, have fun laughing your heads off!
Mind you guys these were what he told Y on their first so-called date:-

-PG told Y that when he was working in KL he used to drive [by that he meant used to have..] all sorts of cars Perdana V6 lah, Honda lah.. I wonder why he only drives a second hand Wira when he decided to come back to his kampung.

-PG said he used to be an assistant architect. [Wow!] And he was the one who designed the PM's house [wow! wow! and WOWW!!]. Upon hearing this from Y, I started to feel very uneasy with this PG guy. That is sooooooo stupid, don't you think? If you're that successful then why on earth did you have to come work in a kampung as a guard? You can do that in KL lah if you want! Aiyoo!

-PG also said he had 20-30k in his savings and that he needn't any loan to make a house for his parents. I don't see any relevance in telling anyone how much [or little] I have in my savings. And during the first meeting some more! That's just simply ridiculous.

-PG received an offer from PDRM,but he was not interested to join the force. Then, he got an offer from MAS [to receive trainings for pilot] but he declined. He said he's not so keen in working under somebody's order. According to him, he's his own boss. Yikes! What sort of a lie was that? If you 'really' got an offer from PDRM/MAS, you must've applied for the post lah kan in the first place? They aren't that stupid to offer you a job just like that! And Y actually believed this!

+ + +

There are more, but I don't want to waste more of my time just to write about PG.
The most important thing is what Y is doing now.

SHE'S APPLYING FOR A LOAN TO BUY SOME PROPERTY FOR 100K!!

And so much to my own 'bewilderment', she's going to share the property with PG.
Ha ha ha. That's just plain idiot, kan?
And she said PG's going to apply a loan for the other half of it [which I doubt it'll be granted because he's jobless now. yupp, he quit his job as our school guard.]
I pity Y, because it's only her second year working yet she's already thinking of getting such a huge loan. And not for herself, even..
That PG guys is obviously a CON, right?
And either Y is totally in love to believe such words from PG or she's stupid, period.
Another take is that perhaps she's been bewitched by a 'love/money' spell?

Please, tell me what you think.
Or better still, tell me what do you think I have to do to help Y.

Oh, and did I tell you last week she didn't come home for a night and she told me she had a stomach ache and had to stay at her parents'?
It's no surprise to know that I've been conned too, by Miss Y herself.
It turns out she was in Kuala Terengganu with PG until very late that night and was afraid to go home at that hour.
So they took turns to sleep in her car.
La la la... can you believe that???

Love is after all,.... BLIND!

Wassalam~

Reminiscing~

Assalamualaykum.

It's official.
It's finally been decided.
(read here.)
The place where I grew up and met friends who I can call family will finally be relocated to another location.
When I read that in Asni's blog yesterday, I felt as if I was being stabbed straight into my heart.
Some may think that I over-reacted given the fact that I somehow already knew this was coming sooner or later, but when it's officially announced, I almost cried.

TKC is not only a school for me [and each of us TKCians], but it's also a place where we learn all about life, love and most importantly friendship.
As I always say, the five years spent in Bukit Merbah was the best years in my life and nothing can take away the fond memories [and also bitter ones] I had there.
The college spirit may always be with us no matter we go, but it's not the same.
I just can't imagine if we're having our 10th year gathering [for example] at another place, not in our old school compound.
The feeling must be totally different.


But who am I to say what to do and vice versa.
I'm just a plain TKC Old Girl with our college spirit that'll stay with me till the day I die.
I'll be damned if they make our old school compound as another school.
[Like what happened to SAS and SDAR..]
Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu...
Then again., this is just another rambling from me..~

Wassalam.

Ada Cinta - Acha Septriasa & Irwansyah

Ucapkanlah kasih..
Satu kata yang kunantikan
Sebab ku tak mampu membaca matamu
Mendengar bisikmu

Nyanyikanlah kasih..
Senandung kata hatimu
Sebab ku tak sanggup mengartikan getar ini
Sebab ku meragu pada dirimu

Mengapa berat ungkapkan cinta
Padahal ia ada
Dalam rinai hujan, dalam terang bulan
Juga dalam sedu sedan

Mengapa sulit mengaku cinta
Padahal yang terasa
Dalam rindu dendam, hening malam
Cinta.. terasa ada…

♥ ♥ ♥

Am feeling a bit down today because I've been listening to this song non-stop since morning.
To tell you the truth, I'm not a big fan of the movie "My Heart" starring Acha Septriasa and Irwansyah.
[It was a complete turn off pour moi, I didn't even try to watch the film.]
I like the OST, but not the way they acted in that movie.
Irwansyah for me, seemed so "lembik" in it. [pardon me if that's harsh for any Irwan's fans out there].

But the upcoming movie "Love is Cinta" is very intriguing for me.
Then again it's not because of the two lovebirds [Acha+Irwan] but I'm looking forward to watch the co-actor Raffi Ahmad in action.
Seeing the film's TMO [the making of] and watching Raffi's character, touched my heart.
The theme of this new movie is for me a bit more interesting than the previous "My Heart".
Not only it's a tiny little bit more serious, but the theme is so close to me.
Well, it's a story about an unrequited love.
How familiar is that to yours truly?
That's like a synonym to me!
:((

Wassalam~

p/s: Achik sila beli speaker or bergegas ke CC sekarang. LOL

New!

Assalamualaykum.

A fresh new look today from me as I promised, Puan Asni.
Hehehehehe.. so how do you like my new layout?
Do leave some opinions,okay?
And that goes to everyone reading this.

Actually there are still some errors that I need to amend.
(am referring to posts: "ANGRY!!" and "SENSEI!")
I still can't figure out why the background turned out to be like that.
Just close one eye-lah will you?
Hehehehe..

Credits to Miss Shambijoux for the "FTP LESSONS" via phone yesterday.
It helped me a lot!!
Hence this new layout came about with much less troubles.
:)

Oh, will post again later.
As Dr So'od likes to put it, today's entry is 'pendek ketot'..
LOL

Wassalam.

Tagged - for CHARITY.

Assalamualaykum.
While I was blog hopping just now, I ended up in Abe Id's blog.
It's been a long time since I last read+leave comments in his blog.
My apologies, Abe Id.
But I guess it's my call-lah, reading it when I can contribute something to the orphans.
Alhamdulillah, maybe it's my luck.

Unlike the usual 'tagged games', this tag or as Abe Id calls it 'meme', is meant for charity.
He will contribute RM127 to the Rumah Anak Yatim Nurul Izzah for every meme completed before 26th of August on our behalf.
The meme is about completing at least seventeen (17) out of the following twenty seven (27) sentences.
Here's mine (in red colour).

♥ These can be copied and pasted to your entry ♥

1. A person is only as good as he/she wants to be, it's all up to oneself.
2. Friendship is always meaningful and important to me.
3. To love is to care and to be there whenever that special someone needs you.
4. Money makes me forget that I need to save some. LOL
5. I miss being with my family and hanging out with my closest friends.
6. My way of saying I care is by being a good listener and a shoulder to cry on to my loved ones.
7. I try to spread love and happiness by caring for my family and friends unconditionally.
8. Pick the flowers when it blooms, for beautiful flowers don't always last long.
9. To love someone is to care and to always be there for him/her.
10. Beauty is skin-deep, but in reality it's vice-versa. (sadly)
11. When I was thirteen, what I remember the most was my first wonderful year in TKC.
12. When I was twenty one, I remember struggling for my teaching course!
13. I am most happy when I'm with family and friends and also when I'm in blogland.
14. Nothing makes me happier than seeing the faces of my nephews and niece.
15. If I can change one thing, I will change my attitude. (I'm a terrible time manager)
16. If smiles were like shotguns then I would smile to Bush and his allies non stop.
17. Wouldn't it be nice if we could live in world where there is no war?
18. If you want to be successful then you have to pass your UPSR first! (this is meant for my students..) LOL
19. Money is not everything but it matters so much today. (if only it doesn't..) sigh~
20. The most touching moments I have experienced is watching a father cried during his daughter's akad nikah. =(
21. I smile when I'm happy.
22. When I am happy, I smile. LOL
23. If only I don't have to stay for my students' camping this weekend, then I'd be on my way home by now. huhuhuhu..
24. The best thing I did yesterday was teaching my collegues English.
25. If I ever write a book, I will give it this title,"Buku Rancangan Mengajar Harian". LOL (I've been writing the book since my first practical and it'll only end when I retire from teaching.)
26. One thing I must do before I die is to love someone and to have my own children. Amin~ (now that's more than ONE, right?)
27. Doing this meme, I feel like I have done something good. All thanks to Abe Id. Semoga Allah merahmati usaha murni Abe Id. Aminnnnnn~

♥ ♥ ♥

And in honour of Abe Id's noble effort, I'd like to tag these people..
This is definitely not a must, but if you can find time to complete the meme, it would be great.
:)

Asni
Atie
Shambie
Shaxu
Pa'chik
Kak pB
Dr So'od
Achik

But since this is for charity, I'm extending the invitation to everyone who happens to read today's entry and willing to complete the meme.
And once you've finished (and posted it in your blog), do leave a comment in Abe Id's blog so that he can count yours in the list.
May this good effort will receive Allah's blessing.
InsyaAllah.
Wassalam.

ANGRY!!!

Assalamualaykum.
Before I go on with today's entry, let me tell you one thing.
Yes, I'm so angry today.
I'm really furious after reading Pa'chik's blog.
No, please don't get me wrong.
I'm not mad at him, I'm furious after reading the article he pasted in his latest entry.

How low can we go as a Malaysian Muslim?
Just to prove that we are living in a so-called developed country, to prove that we are open-minded, to show the world that we are capable of doing everything.. we have to put Islam away?
MasyaAllah.. I think having one 'Lina Joy' is enough.

Third placed: Erik whipping up his Belveryna and Eredevleb Framboise Tea Martini cocktails.

THEY shook, stirred and dazzled the crowd as they whipped up two cocktails – a martini and a long drink – within a few minutes at the Belvedere Bartender Competition.

The competition hosted by Belvedere Vodka at Frangipani bar offered an opportunity to celebrate the skill, creativity and artistry of Malaysia’s bartenders as well as Belvedere Vodka’s belief in the art of mixing the perfect cocktail.

Ten bartenders from various five-star hotels and night outlets competed for the title of Belvedere Bartender of the Year 2007 (Malaysia).

The winner will participate in the Regional Bartender Event in Hong Kong with an opportunity to go on to the Belvedere International Bartender Competition in London.

“Each cocktail must feature one of the three types of Belvedere Vodka – Belvedere Pure, Belvedere Cytrus or Belvedere Pomarancza,” said Riche Monde Malaysia Belvedere Vodka brand manager Jeff Chong, whose company distributes the brand in Malaysia.

“Judging will be based on taste, outlook (bartender’s presentation), presentation of drink, aroma and the name of the cocktail.”

Test of skill and creativity: Adzhar straining his cocktail mixture before pouring it into a martini glass.

The panel of judges comprised Moet Hennessy Spirits marketing manager Andrew Khan, Belvedere Vodka regional brand ambassador Sam Jeveons and Klue magazine managing director John Lim.

“We’re also hosting a cocktail party, which will offer guests and Belvedere lovers the chance to have fun and enjoy some drinks,” Chong said.

Riche Monde Malaysia’s corporate clients, media members and celebrities like Marion Caunter, Wong Sze Zen, Stephanie Chai and Will Quah attended the invitation-only event.

Daphne Iking hosted the event while Camelia entertained guests with a few songs.

“Belvedere literally means 'beautiful to see.' A fitting name for such an alluring vodka,” Iking said during the opening of the event.

Delectable: Alvey sampling Adzhar’s Smooth while Iking looks on.

“The moniker is in fact inspired by the historical Belvedere Palace in Warsaw, former home to Polish royalties and presidents. Continuing a Polish tradition reaching back 600 years, Belvedere Vodka is handcrafted in small batches using centuries-old techniques to ensure the highest quality, “ she said.

Mohd Adzhar Ahmad, who has been bartending at Qba in The Westin Kuala Lumpur for two years, was declared the competition’s winner with his long drink named Pomarancza Ozie and martini called Smooth.

Fellow Qba bartender Rizal Junior Johari won second place with his Capito long drink and June’s martini.

Mohd Erik Fiza Zulkifle from The Loft KL was third with his Belveryna and Eredevleb Framboise Tea Martini cocktails.

Vodka fan James Coathup tried Erik’s Belveryna and described it as “fresh, fruity and delicious”.

“This drink is something I’d actually buy. I usually go for drinks like vodka cranberry and vodka lime soda when I’m out for drinks with friends,” the Australian said.

Channel [V] VJ Alvin Pulga, better known as Alvey sampled Adzhar’s Smooth and declared that its smooth taste lived up to its name.

"BRAVO"!!!!!
The 1st,2nd and 3rd place are all Muslim.
Good job, guys. 'Well done!'

Astaghfirullahalazim.
Don't they have better things to do?
Is getting a job that hard they had to settle being a bartender instead?
Come on, is not like you're making 'teh tarik' or what ok?
MasyaAllah.. MasyaAllah..

If any of you readers think that they aren't doing any wrong, or perhaps you're trying to be positive, thinking that they might just mingle with vodka,beer,wine et cetera without consuming it, [which I doubt because how would they know the mixture tastes good if they don't try it first??] ,well I hope this hadith will make you think twice.
Credits to pa'chik for putting this up, so that I can share with all of you who are reading.

Diriwayatkan oleh Ibnu Tarmizi dan Ibnu Majah;
“Rasulullah s.a.w. melaknat tentang arak, sepuluh golongan: (1) yang memerasnya, (2) yang minta diperaskannya, (3) yang meminumnya, (4) yang membawanya, (5) yang minta dihantarinya, (6) yang menuangkannya, (7) yang menjualnya, (8) yang makan harganya, (9) yang membelinya, (10) yang minta dibelikannya.”

I have yet to give my opinion on a local female actor who decided to shaved her head bald and now this??
MasyaAllah, it's neverending.
People seem proud to show they did something that is obviously wrong in Islam.
I really can't understand this.

I'm sorry this entry sounds so negative , but this I had to do.
I'm tired of reading about what these kind of people did to make others [non-Muslim] even more confused about Islam.
I may not be the best or the most suitable person to write about this, as I know I'm not a perfect Muslimah too, but Subhananallah..
This is just way too much.
I might just punch them in the face if I ever see them on the street.
LOL.

Oh well, for the record, shaving your head bald [for woman] is HARAM no matter how you put it [unless it's for medical purposes-lah..].
What does art got to do with hukum Islam anyway?
It doesn't make it HALAL, even though that's what you do for a living.
[And daddy showing his support by shaving his head too?? Come on!!!!!]
The same goes for men who wear earrings or chain/choker.
That's HARAM too. Period.

Wassalam.
