 Assalamualaikum W.B.T

omo..omo..I just noticed I need another few entries before it counts as 400.
what an achievement for me!! haha

believe it or not, this is my 5th year of blogging....and turning into 6, next year.
I don't expect I could stay this long...because in the course of 5 years, due to many reasons, I don't know for how many times I thought of deleting this blog....and luckily I didn't!! (but, I did change d url..heh)
(actually, I have started writing before 2007....but few blogs had been deleted due to inconsistency in writing and updating...haha)

I have few reasons why I treasure this blog so much.
and one reason being, it stores a collection of MY stories.
I am not an important person so I bet no one would write about me when I die.
But, because my life worth so much to me, I think I should do it a justice by writing about it myself.
After some years, I could see how I have developed physically, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually by the way I write and express my feelings, thoughts etc.
And I am happy to see the progress :))))

Because I don't write for specific audiences like I did years ago, I feel no pressure at all writing now.
I could log on whenever I feel like pouring things out and I could stay idle when I don't feel like doing it.
But, most of the time, it's because of the TIME.

Based on my analysis:

I am most active in 2008. I have written 205 entries. That was during my second year in Australia and it was the time I consider myself BLOGGER TEGAR (skrg, tegarla sangat kan...haha). Many stories to be shared, learned many important lessons in life, tried many recipes and it's when I got to know few blogger friends...and that was the time when blogging was so addictive to me...WAS and WAS. Basically, it IS one the most wonderful years in my life :)))

Coming back to Malaysia, completing my final year of study, practicum, first posting...life was so hectic (kononnya), and I didn't write much...only once in a while. Apart from the commitments (konon), I think internet connection is a factor too. Graf jatuh mendadak, x sampai 40% for the 1st year. Zaman bekerja lagilah....hampeh... x smpai 3 entry per month on the 1st year of working, and even lesser the 2nd year. But, what makes me feel better is, AT LEAST I WRITE....haha..

Oh yeah, now I am currently working on my weebly!!
being a professional-so-to-say....(HAHA), it's been a dream to have my own educational website.
insyaAllah, it'll be my end-of-year project!! HOHO...


And I promise myself to keep writing...not for anyone but for ME, MYSELF :))

adios, amigos!!

Wassalam~

Alhamdulillah!!
Yang ditunggu2 akhirnya hadir jua :))
And this official letter is not just "a thing" coz it brings so many meanings especially to a journey that I would embark on in the future...insyaAllah...

And yes I am dreamING now....and I hope Allah will show me the best way and lead me to best path for the benefit of me, the religion and the ummah...insyaAllah

Assalamualaikum W.B.T

This year's Eidul Fitr celebration might NOT be the BEST that I had so far but at least, it's NOT the WORST.

Reasons:

• got a new stand mixer thus so excitedly made chocolate chips cookies that I used to make back then in Sydney...but it turned to be chocolate DE BATU BATA cookies...duhh...but, what I like about it is the fact that my nephews being so supportive by eating half the jar of the cookies...so I guess, OK la kot kan..heh ;)

before

after

• baked a chocolate cake that I used to...but it turned out to be the most DISASTROUS cake I've ever bake. lesson learned: please don't be greedy but patient!!

kipasusahmati...haha

• raya for me this year was only on the 1st Syawal...was in no mood of celebrating it...down with slight fever the first night itself...is suffering from sore throat till today....arrghhh...camne  nak keje nih!!

However, there's few other good points regardless of everything:

• I managed to join tadarus and conduct khatam quran session with my tutees ;) yeah, sounds like a small, simple things but for me, it's really SOMETHING...

• after 25 years, I managed to weave ketupat on my own....what an achievement!! haha... I've tried once last 2 years, I succeeded...but I wonder to what extent the performance could be measured... But this time around, I managed to weave at least 5/6 ketupat... OK la tu...rather than nothing aite...

masterpiece...haha

before

after

• for the first time, I gave duet raya to my siblings...not much anyway but I feel happy to give them something...alhamdulillah de rezeki lebih kan :) but somehow, the allocation for the niece and nephews decreased a bit..ye la, need to spread the budget kan...haha :P

last year's...this year...tarak..

All in all, I think or I could feel that I've aged...or am aging...gradually...
The feelings towards certain things are no longer the same as before...
And so as the view or perception and also the way I act towards situations...
So, let's just consider this a journey of maturity...haha~

Salam~

Assalamualaikum W.B.T

So, it has been decided. This year, we'd go for purple. 

And I choose this shade of purple (not the blouse =P)

 Next year...I'll fight for this...iAllah =P

(erk, the colour i mean..heh~)

Apa hukumnya malas nak makan ubat sebab malas nak kena makan lepas tu??

Huwaa....saya tau mak dan abah memang emo dengan alasan yang saya bagi...
But seriously...saya bukan jenis orang yang susah makan ubat...
tapi....
ubat itu sangat2 melaparkan...
and imagine...saya kene makan 4 kali sehari...which also implies i have to take heavy meals 4 times a day!!!


forget about being fat or whatsoever...
tapi perut saya sangat cekang...tolong!!!!!!!!!!!!!

n kesimpulannya...ubat saya memang tak habis on time...
serve me right!!

Assalamualaikum W.B.T

Tahun ini adalah tahun yang paling kasihan untuk abah. The reason being, dia sudah kehilangan peluang menonton saluran2 TV kegemaran seperti Astro Supersports dan Arena setiapkali anak perempuan bongsunya pulang ke kampung. Abah terpaksa mengalah dengan virus2 korea yang dibawa anaknya itu. The best part is, mak dan kakak termasuk kakak ipar juga memberi sokongan yang padu juga...ahahaha.. (yeah...ada unsur2 *evil* di situ)

Culture di rumah juga sudah berubah. Kalau dulu mak dan kakak hanya pandai tekan Channel 101, 102, 103, 104 dan 105 je....tapi sekarang...kalau semua saluran berbahasa Melayu menayangkan program2 yang membosankan, saya lihat mereka juga telah menyenaraikan Channel 391 dan 393 sebagai option. Rasa kelakar la jugak. Tak pasal2 kan the whole household stucked for korean drama. hihi.

Dialog abah yang paling best: Rumah ni dah macam rumah korea rasanye!!

Tapi sekarang baru la dorg sedar bahawa korean drama lagi baik daripada sinetron indonesia yang mak suka tu. Logik sket la if nak banding. At lease I have brought a new perspective towards drama ni. Well, I would consider myself a drama lover so to say...habis sume drama kte layan...baik Melayu, Indonesia , Jepun, Korea, Spanish, Filipino dsb... Tapi yang paling tak bley pegi citer Cina..from back then~

Memandangkan saya 'bercuti semester' lebih awal dari yang sepatutnya...maka rutin harian/mingguan untuk si temporary OKU ni adalah menonton program2 seperti:

Channel 391: The Thorn Birds
Channel 393: Loving You Thousand Times, Three Sisters, 49 Days, Family Comes  Here, Strong Heart, O, My School, Dream Team
Channel 701: CSI, House
Channel 132: Maharaja Lawak (haha :P)

Ha..tu la aktiviti berpoya2 di rumah. Ya, memang sungguh membosankan tapi apakan daya...saya dicutikan.. Maka, bercutilah juga otak saya dari memikirkan hal2 stress berkaitan kerja.

Tapi rasanya, rutin akan berubah minggu hadapan. Harapnya, rutin kehidupan bertambah baik...insyaAllah

Assalamualaikum W.B.T

Alhamdulillah...for the first time this year, I managed to attend a friend's wedding. All this while, all I could do  was to "stare" at the invitation...be it the "real" or the "virtual" ones. And I feel really bad about it especially when I missed my besties' wedding...not once but three times already =( 

I'm not saying about regret here...but somehow I feel so "ralat". During our school days, we kept on "chanting" these cliche line "kahwin nanti jemput eh". And when the real time comes, "I can't make it anyway!!". Isn't it disappointing??

Anyways, congratulations to all my friends who had tied the knot...
I hope it's not too late to wish you:

“Barakallahulakuma wa baraka alaikuma 

wa jama’a bainakuma fikhair" 

especially to:

Nor Hanita Paiman & pasangan

Noor Faiz Izzat & pasangan

Nor Faezza & pasangan 

and those who had it today 

especially...emy, fatt, tiha, wan, sri, shu, n kak sarah =)

Salam~ 

 

p/s: going to campus everyday makes me feel young...going to wedding once in a while makes me feel the other way round..omg..omg...haha~

 

Assalamualaikum W.B.T

Today is the 7th day of school holidays. This also means that I have been doing NOTHING that I could be proud of for A WEEK. *sigh*

And, today, when I was about to complete the whole series of Boys Over Flowers (read: AGAIN!!), I suddenly had the spirit of completing this one particular PROJECT. I wouldn't want to tell what exactly it is, but insyaAllah, once it is DONE, I'll publish it here =)

Gambatte ne!!

Assalamualaikum W.B.T

Alhamdulillah. Another phase in my career life has passed and I shall wait for the next stop. Hopefully, everthing will be just fine...iAllah.

This year marked it's own history in my journey of life as it's the first time for me to celebrate birthday more than twice...

Personally, I am not the type who fancy this "celebration" thingy....

Or maybe I should say, "it's not my CULTURE" haha...

However, last year itself I celebrated it twice =)

And this year, as a teacher-cum-lecturer, I celebrated it four times...what a number, aite...heh~

First

Date : 5th November 2010

Day : Friday

Time : 9.30 p.m.

Venue : Noodle Station, Kuala Terengganu

Description : 

The event was organized by a particular student and my KT besties: Zati n Salma =)

Yes, it was 2 weeks before the actual date and the reason being, they worried if they did not have time to do it later on since my birthday falls during school holidays...

So, basically...they had a successful surprise I guess...thumbs up!! haha...

It's just that...sometimes, I could sense things okay my dears...

So...don't ever trigger me kay (^_^)

Second

Date : 8th November 2010

Day : Monday

Time : 10.00 p.m.

Venue : Sri Wangsa Restaurant, Gong Badak, Kuala Terengganu

Description : 

The celebration was only a part of the big event: TESL 3 Annual Dinner.
It was organized by my beloved tutees...(omg, luckily they did this...or else...dont know what to say about them...haha...*evil laugh*)
I taught THE surprise was directed to Mr. O.D. but suddenly they sang a birthday song...
I seriously wondered if Mr. O.D.'s birthday was on that particular date...
But then again...GOTCHA...it turned out to be for me...
"surprise la sangat yer" haha...
Whatever it is, I really appreciate that my dears...
and as a sign of appreciation, I did what I did...(suap-menyuap kek ha....hahadoii)
Frankly speaking, I rarely did that to just anybody...so to say that "they are not just anybody to me"...huhu...

Third

Date : 12th November 2010

Day : Friday

Time : 10.00 p.m.

Venue : Paradise Deluxe, Kuala Terengganu

Description :
The celebration was again a part of the big event: Math 1 Annual Dinner.
Actually, to be frank, the moment a few of them insisted me on attending this dinner had itself triggered me...
But, I would say that they had carried out the surprise so smoothly that I did not notice things...haha
From one side, I felt awkward to be part of their event but from another side, I felt honoured and appreciated...
So, basically...I would like to say "Thank You!!"

Fourth

Date : 19th November 2010

Day : Friday

Time : 10.00 p.m.

Venue : Kampung Jenjarom, Kuala Langat
Description:
Aha...this was the REAL celebration because it was done on the day itself...huhu...
Actually, I had no intention to celebrate it at a large scale...my family would do...
But, since my uncle was holding a feast, we (read: my cousin, who celebrated her birthday on the 18th, and I) decided to join in the celebration...
We bought 2 cakes and ended up not specifying the cakes to any particular individuals because we have a few cousins who celebrated birthday in November...
Basically, whoever were there would have all rights to blow the candle together...weeeeee =D
I hope that this very first event-like-this could be done in annual basis because it's not merely a typical celebration but more to family gathering...iAllah

So, that's basically it is for this year...
Alhamdulillah...indeed, I feel so blessed...
Thanks to ALL...muahhhhh...

Salam~

Assalamualaikum W.B.T

In 2 weeks time, I had involved in 2 accidents...
1 involving cars...
another 1 involving motorcycles...
but none caused any external bleeding...alhamdulillah...
what I learnt is both are SIGNS from GOD...yeah...SIGNS or REMINDER from HIM...

1st accident
Date : 9th November 2010 (10 days before my Bday)
Day : Tuesday
Time : 11.15 a.m.
Location : Kuala Terengganu (right in front of the college's gate)
Description :
- two cars were involved: Red Persona (ours) and Blue Saga (theirs).
- we were at the junction - about to turn right - didn't see the Blue Saga heading to us due to busy road - panic and stopped at the middle of the road right after we noticed the car - being hit by the Saga - the end!
- luckily we were all safe except the fact that the Persona needed to get the two doors and the dashboard changed and I got bruises on my knee and my two fingers.

2nd accident
Date : 23rd November 2010 (4 days after my Bday)
Day : Tuesday
Time : 9.15 a.m.
Location : Banting (at the car's garage)
Description:
- two motorcycles were involved: Yamaha Nouvo (mine) and Yamaha RXZ (my bro's).
- i incidently hit the parked RXZ because the Nouvo's starter didn't function well that i couldn't control it well.
- luckily nothing serious happened except the fact that the front part of Nouvo's is broken and my brother put THE face knowing that someone 'hurt' his beloved bike...but, like it purposely did it...duhh...

Fasbeer sabran jameela..
