found new love[s]

i am pleased to disappoint you that the love[s] that i have found are not in a form of a MAN [or two men for that matter..lol], but rather in reading local political stuff and learning Korean language. the former is because i'm in desperate need of a good laugh and reading about how politicians ridicule themselves somehow satisfy my needs. even though it sickens me to see them toying with the rakyat's trust. the latter is for preparation IF the trip to Korea that i had roughly planned with a few best buddies, comes true. i really hope it does, as it's my ULTIMATE place to visit [as of now]. :D

what a way to start a new post after such a long break.. lol.  well, for the record, LAST month, i did try to update.. but words just wouldn't come out of my head, hence no updates whatsoever from yours truly. i have written a few drafts actually, but none was published. but now, i don't plan to give excuses on why i have not been blogging all this while. i'll just admit that i was too lazy to write. for what reason, i think it's better left unsaid-lah. it'll be the same old reason that even i am bored of writing it over and over again.. but to leave this blog and stop blogging is never in my plan at all. i guess i love this blog so much that i always leave it 'un-updated' for quite some time.. [kalau sayang tinggal-tinggalkan..] hehehe.. did i just gave an excuse there? :p

okay, people..i'd love to write more, but off to school canteen now. hehe

of single dads and 'duda'..

i was planning to post about something serious at first, but the mood to talk about stuff like that is just not there tonight. so, same like the previous post, i'll justwrite an entry about some entertainment-related stuff now..just to lighten up the gloomy days i'm in nowadays.. now,shall we.. ?! *lol*

people closest to me might know this about yours truly : I AM CRAZY ABOUT KOREAN DRAMAS! and after a few years watching numerous dramas and movies from S.Korea.. i fell in love with almost everything about the country.. its culture, language and handwriting, music and the list goes on.

anyway, after years of watching these dramas.. there are a few of them that potray characters of single dads and duda [divorced man].. but they don't do justice-lah i think.. in ALL the dramas, ALL the single dads and duda are EXTREMELY hot!! i mean, does it make sense when these so-good-looking guys [just to show a few] are single dads or duda[s]?

[Oh Ji Ho in 'Single Dad in Love']

[Kim Seong Su in 'Bad Love']

[Ryu Jin in 'Mom's Dead Upset']

being 'in love' with korean dramas, i tend to have this kind of perception that ALL single dads or duda are to-die-for!! they are extremely hot and very successful in life. silly me, kan? rotflol. if only life is just as the dramas that i've watched. it'll sure be so colorful..

oh, and just to be fair.., hollywood's not any different. these are miss b's favourite single dad + duda.. lol.. [sorry i dragged you into this too,sis ;)] we need a break from all the stress we've been dealing lately. cheers!

[single dad Agent Seeley Booth a.k.a David Boreanaz in 'Bones']

[divorced Dr Derek Shepherd a.k.a Patrick Dempsey in 'Grey's Anotomy']

so, anyone knows any HOT single dads or duda out there? tell him i said hi.

LOL.

my oh-so-beautiful night

it's 4 am now.. and i've just finished watching my second and last movie [for now].. i thank my two best friends for such a 'beautiful' movie that i saw just now. fqrl for suggesting it to shambie. and shambie for your effort to download the movie and burn it for me. ;) you guys are just the best!


the movie that took me by surprise for its sweetness and romance was none other than "The Notebook".. starring Ryan Gosling, James Garner et cetera.. well, you can always Google for more info regarding the movie, but in my humble opinion, the love story in The Notebook is so real and oh-so-sweet. it tells about a man who reads a notebook to his wife who's suffering from memory loss. their love for each other remains intact until their last breath..at a very old age.. perhaps too good to be true, but i can't stop wanting to have such a relationship while i was watching the movie. so sweet and beautiful..can't find more suitable words to describe it. gosh, got to see this movie again..and again..and again.. [plus there's the forever-hot James Marsden in it too..who never fails to make my heart smiles with his lovely dimples.. ;)] rotflol. oh, and Ryan Gosling didn't fail me either in this movie. he managed to look manly and macho, which i find it very difficult to imagine at first due to his boyish look. ah, what a movie.. got butterflies all over my tummy watching the actors..




the first movie that i saw, before The Notebook, was "Serendipity".. quite an old movie, but believe it or not, i haven't seen it even though i once had a huge crush on John Cusack back in the days when i was in college. this movie was not a disappointment either. though there were quite a few 'hindustani' scenes in the movie, but it was acceptable. perhaps it was just my mood.. i was feeling rather mellow and the 'theme' for last night's DVD session was ROMANCE. so, anything sweet and lovey-dovey was THE thing. [pa'chik sure tengah muntah reading this entry.. lol.. bear with me, ek pa'chik..]..

tomorrow, the theme's gonna be comedy slash cartoon, i guess. got "Kung Fu Panda" waiting to be watched and also The Rock's "Game Plan".. yeah, i am enjoying my year-end holidays now.. after a year's hard work, i think at least i deserve this much of an entertainment. oh, no.. ayam berkokok already.. it's 4.50 am.. gonna sleep now..

bye~

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..

Wassalam~

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!!
:)

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~

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..

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.

Dedication.

Assalamualaikum...

According to my blogspot count, this entry will be my 121st..
Cheisss.. from March 2005 until June 2007 with this account, that's all I came up with?
I guess I'm not much of a writer as I always want to be.
LOL

I was blog hopping just now and saw a blog that reminded me of my first one.
Yeah, to those who only knew me from this blog, I actually started blogging since 2004.
9th june 2004 to be precise.
That blog though, I reckon it was a sort of 'dedication' to someone that used to be quite special to me.
(Get your facts correct now my dear friends, he was not my bf. I just adored him, that's all.)

(click on the picture to visit my old blog.)

I don't know why I felt this sudden urge to pay a visit to my old 'home'.
Reading some of the entries I posted there when I was still a student.
Hahahahaha. I felt 3 years younger all of a sudden.
You know, reading about my crush and all.
How I came up with poems for him et cetera.
But I'm so over him by now,okay? Seriously.
(But not the other one... hahahahaha..)

Why blogging?
That's one helluva question..
I guess my MAIN reason is to get my brain working.
You see, unlike some people who can write straight from their mind, I have to think before I write.
I've to think A LOT.
Please don't get me wrong, I'm not saying y'all don't think before you write.
We all do.
But I'm a grammar freak, and a spelling freak.
So I double, or triple checked my entries before I post them.
Hehehehehehe.

Once, I told Kak Ruby how I really wanted to write as good as her.
Alas, I still have a long way to go judging from the 'frequency' of my posts.
I don't write that much in order to be on a par with her.
I always get jealous (in a good way-lah) with people who write so well.
I think they are gifted.

But blogging is not just about writing or updating stuff about my oh-so-boring life.

I made friends.
Though some of which I may only contact via this cyberspace, but they are my friends nonetheless.
And I love them as much.
From blogging I get to know these special people and a lot more that are beyond description.

♥ ♥ ♥

Kak Ruby.
A great woman, so full of life and young at heart.

Abe Id.
A great man, so full of life and young at heart.

Stupe.
I like his straight forward-ness. (if there's such a word lah.)

Mr Incognito.
I learn a lot for this 'anonymous' guy.

Kak pB.
She's like an older sister to me, I think I can talk about almost everything with her.

Pa'chik.
Extraordinary. (Oh, is he that incredible?) Hehehehe..

♥ ♥ ♥

In the end, I think blogging have done good to me.
So I think I'll write more in the future..

Wassalam.

Cravings.

Assalamualaykum.

I can't remember the last time I had chocolates.
By chocolates I mean pure ones, barred or truffle-like.
Not like Kit-Kat or Snickers or M&Ms..

Seroiusly, at this very moment, I crave for those sweet tasting and delicious Belgian chocolates.
I don't know why, but I'm salivating right now just by seeing the photos @Google.
Maybe this is the effect Cik Asni who loves chocolates gave me.
[This girl is so crazy about chocolates, I wonder how Encik Abdul can top that.. LOL]
Too bad I can't find those mouthwatering Belgian chocolates here in Setiu. [Yup, there's no 7-Eleven here..]

*drool*
These heavenly delicious chocolates sure look so inviting, don't you think?

FYI, I often have these kind of cravings [not necessarily chocolates].
Especially when I'm about to go home for weekends or school break.
These cravings usually last for one week before I head home.

For example, last month I craved for "Spaghetti Olio".
It's the simplest Italian dish where you only have to saute the spaghetti with olive oil, garlic, seasoning[chicken/anchovy] and dried chillies.
[I added fresh prawns for some 'kick'.]
Simple, but my mother and sister love it. ☻
Abah didn't get to taste it because I only made enough for 2 people to eat. [My first try, so I had no confidence yet. But it turned out ok.]


And the last couple of week, it was "Mee Kari/ Curry Noodles".
Abah+Ma are not big fans of Mee Kari, .. and so am I actually.
But I simply can't explain the craving for it, you know.
Not that I'm pregnant or what.. LOL
Living with friends in a rumah sewa, I think most of you can guess-lah our main dish.
Maggi/Mamee, Gardenia and sometimes nasi air [a.k.a bubur nasi] or laksa from our neighbour's stall.
So that explains, right?


And one more thing, the cravings maybe due to the fact that I don't fancy going out and buy food from the restaurants/gerai.
I prefer to cook my own meal at home.
And if you're wondering whether it's edible or not, that's another story to tell.
LOL! But I'm that bad ok?

Just so you know, if I can have even one piece of Belgian chocolate right now, I'd be damn happy.
Sigh~



Wassalam.

Fizzy~

Assalamualaykum!!

Yesterday I got nothing to do so I Google-d "FIZZY".
My blog was tenth in the list.. (and today ninth..LOL)
But I'm not going to brag about that.

The most interesting part is I found a blog.
What's so special about it, you asked?
The blogger's name is also Fizzy.
She's from Yorkshire, United Kingdom.
And guess what, the UK Fizzy is also a Primary school teacher.
Now how scary is that?
Hehehehehe..
[But she's married and I'm not..LOL]
Do check out her blog here.
I have also added the link in the blogroll.



To Fizzy, here's to many,many great blogging days ahead..
Take care!

Wassalam~

Ouch!!

Assalamualaykum..
I woke up this morning with a toothache.
A bad one.
Not only that it is painful, but it irritates me.
That leaves me with only ONE option.

I have to see a DENTIST.

It's not a fun thing to do for me you know, visiting my dentist.
Though he's a very soft spoken gentleman, and knows how to handle his [troublesome] patients, I still have this "thing" against dentist.
LOL. It's unexplainable.
Or am I just plain SCARED to see a dentist?
Hehehehehehe..

But this pain is unbearable, and it has been going on for a week now..
Scared or not, DR ZUKRI HERE I COME!!!!!
Huhu..


Wassalam~

TV.

Assalamualaykum..
Today's weekly assembly was a bit chaotic.
Penolong Kanan HEM asked some of the students who were caught shoplifting @ the Kedai Sekolah to stay back after the assembly.
To my own surprise more than 10 students stayed back.
I couldn't refrain myself from letting my anger out.
In fact I felt like slapping those kids.
Thank God my patience stopped me.

Class started at 9.15 a.m today.
Was not in the mood of classroom learning, so I took the students to the TV room.
I did promise them to at least go and watch CD once a month and that's what I did since April's coming to an end and they have not been there yet for this month.
The kids watched "Disney's Magic English" today and it's so uplifting to see them learn something while having fun watching the cartoon.
=)



Wassalam~

Maulidur Rasul

Assalamualaykum..

Yesterday our school had a Maulidur Rasul celebration.

(Am not too sure if the use of 'celebration' is appropriate. Any other suggestions of a verb?)

The celebration was quite late actually, as yesterday was already the last day of Rabiul Awal.
Praise be to Allah, everything went well even though the students were in chaos after the second slot ended sooner than it was supposed to be.

At approximately 8.30 a.m the kids berarak around the school while reciting the selawat.
They were in their best clothes and with banners and all.
I think they enjoyed everything that is not related to lessons in their classrooms.
Don't we all when we were in school??
Hehehehehe..



The second slot was a ceramah by an Ustaz from Pejabat Agama Daerah Setiu.
(I can't remember his name..)
He did a splendid job I must say, because all of the students were quiet and well-behaved throughout his ceramah.
Maybe he knew how to tackle the kids' attention.
He did include Q&A, quizzes and jokes in his ceramah.
So the students weren't bored with his speech.

Then the kids had a "khat" contest for Level 2 and colouring contest for Level 1.
I didn't get to watch the kids showing their Jawi-writing and colouring skills, as I was preparing for the last slot of the celebration.
So no pictures of them 'in action'.

I was in charge of the movie show yesterday.
The kids watched "Muhammad The Last Prophet" a.k.a "Muhammad Utusan Terakhir".
It was an animation actually, and frankly I think it was very interesting.
The dialogues are in Bahasa, therefore my students had no problems understanding the story or our beloved prophet, Muhammad (PBUH).
The only problem was their concentration.

I now realize that watching a 90 minutes movie/animation is a CHALLENGE for the students, especially the little ones.
But Alhamdulillah, some of the students did learn something from the story.
I wish Malaysians can come up with this kind of story in the future.
It's a good and easier way for our kids to learn about Islam.
(My students sangat lah malas datang kelas Fadhu Ain! So this somehow helps them learn what they missed in their Sirah class.)

Phewww, I sound like an Ustazah, right? =D
(Apa salahnya once in a while perasan..)
Till then, wassalam..~

"Heavenly" Heroes

Assalamulaykum..
This is my current favourite.
If you like "Heroes" then you'd be familiar with this song.
It's used as the promo song for the series.
Gempak!!
Take it away,people..
(Actually I don't know what to post in today's entry..hence the lyrics.. =D)

Heaven by Nidji

Don't beg, don't cry to your children
Don't even cry to your papa
Don't try to beg to your people
Don't even cry to your mama

Heaven is too far away... tonight
Heaven is too far away... tonight

Don't laugh don't scream to your children
Don't even cry to your sister (to your sister)
Don't talk don't play with the children
Cause you ain't gonna get my heart

Heaven is too far away... tonight
Heaven is too far away... tonight
