fantasy vs reality

my plan:

balik @ 5:00pm -- singgah petronas amik minyak -- amik adam -- balik umah -- mandi -- solat asar -- kemas depan -- lipat baju -- mandi -- solat maghrib -- solat hajat -- mengaji -- solat isyak -- tido

what actually happened:

balik @ 5:08 pm -- tak singgah petronas sebab ramai org & hari nak hujan -- amik adam -- balik umah -- mandi -- solat asar -- sembang ngam made -- lepak -- solat maghrib -- solat isyak

hahaha... only those in bold blue je yg i berjaya achieved - my routine

camtu la life kan? yg planned selalu tak jadik. yg tak planned; sometimes, menyempurnakan hidup anda

alahai harun

ini kisah saya dan harun
bersahabat lebih 10 tahun
kisah sedih hati meruntun
baik tak payah duduk serumpun

tahun pertama, saya excited harun pun sama.
tahun kedua mula setop bicara
baik ketua kapal, baik berserkup kepala
mata menjeling, mulut bermangga

mungkin saya tersalah kata
tapi rasanya, tidaklah pula
jangankan kata berbual mesra
memandang muka pun boleh dikira.

mungkin juga salah lakunya
rasa hati, tidaklah juga
manakan ada masa bersama
pulang kerja zas masuk gua

akal & hati mencari silap
nak minta sorry, nak mintak mahap
malang hajat masih terluap
harun masih tak membalas harap

kelengkang kelengkung bunyi belanga
amboi suasana gempak gempita
ketua kapal memandang saja
family affair malas juga nak masuk cerita

pujuk hati, hati dah lara
tiba hari berbunyi lagi belanga
hati masih bertanya-tanya
apa lagi salah silapnya

ketua kepala memandang sepi
serkup kepala memaling benci
tak pernah tersenyum dua puteri
harun kini apatah lagi

hati sakit, bertambah gundah
kenapa persahabatan menjadi parah
apa silap, apalah salah
harun biarkan tak tentu arah

hari keraian sudahlah tiba
pelamin indah bersulam suasa
khemah dipasang di tengah pagar
hati meruntun mahu meronta
macam mana saya nak parking kereta?

maaf tidak informasi pun tidak
hati dibiar bergolak-golak
ikutkan hati nak panggil todak
boleh beraksi di depan kodak

sampainya hati harun mencaci
membuat hati menjadik benci
apalah salah berbicara sendiri
bukannya baru kenal sehari

apalah salah, apalah dosa
sampaikan harun tidak bersapa
mungkin kata kasar bak gangster
mungkin laku lagak bak punkster

andainya harun membaca cereka
bukan sengaja membuat cerita
janganlah kita masih bersengketa
elok berbaik merapat bicara

mungkin katamu itu begitu
mungkin kataku ini begini
marilah kita sama bersatu
bukan menuding sana dan sini

* harun adalah bukan nama sebenar & tidak ada kaitan dalam ini cerita *

majuk ngan burger king

hari ni i lapar. sangat lapar. breakfast makan oat je. additional to that, i have no lunch buddy. finance pegi training. linda pegi gym. kak azila nak gi i'view. so i decided to order BK. the conversation went spicy..

BK: hello, bk
myself: hello. i'd like to place an order
BK: akak nak order kat mana?
myself: order kat mana? order kat mana ke nak hantar order kat mana?
BK: nak hantar order kat mana la
myself: oh! klcc
BK: klcc tu besar kak
myself: oh sorry. level 52, tower 2
BK: minimum order rm20 tau kak
myself: rm20? bukan rm15 ke?
BK: mana ada rm15 kak. selama ni memang rm20
myself: eh.. i've been ordering so far, minimum order is rm15 saja pe.
BK: mana ada rm15 kak
myself: kat sini pun tulis rm15 (referring to their leaflet)
BK: tu akak order kat mana? ave k ke klcc?
myself: kat ave k la. this is not my first order. i dah selalu order apa
BK: mana saya tau. saya baru kat sini
myself: kalau awak baru, check lah dengan org lama
BK: nantilah saya check. akak nak order apa?
myself: dah tak payah. saya dah malas nak order

dahlah i had to wait for quite a while for him to pick up the phone. bahasa pun tak indah langsung. gaya bercakap pun macam nak ajak bergaduh. intonasi lagilah kan. buat org lapa ni macam nak turun gi lempang je budak tu.

lagi satu kan.. dah tau diri tu baru. buatlah cara budak baru kan. bertanya2lah dulu kan. ni main nak marah org je. sengal betul

tanak kawan burger king

alhamdulillah

syukur ke hadrat Ilahi ke atas semua limpah kurniaNya
di atas semua pemberianNya
di atas semua nikmatNya
di atas semua hikmah dan rezekiNya

lama menunggu. seksa rasanya. la ni, alhamdulillah.. yg ditunggu dah dapat. yg dinanti insya Allah tak lama lagi tiba.

betulla org tua kata jangan terburu2. nanti yg dikendong berciciran. yg dikejar tak dapat2. man-man. menten... pasti tanggung bereh.

made excited. myself apatah lagi. adam pun i believe, eager for this rezeki.

ada yg baru nanti, berserilah sikit rumah tu - insya Allah

berkat doa kawan2, family. thanks to all..

amin

kau dan aku

** your disguise, my words **

kl - krai - kl

kipas + sinki + aircond = klasik

(kl - krai )+ (2030 hours - 1130 hours) = sangat penat & sejuk
ayah + mama + adam = so excited

motif utama: potong rambut adam

adam = before & after

motif kedua: mengubat kerinduan
al - fatihah

motif sampingan:
aero kelantan mempersembahkan "anak itik tokwi" & "katak oh katak"
(yup! they installed those songs into the machine. hehehe)

(krai - kl) + (2000 hours - 0800 hours) = penat (- sejuk)
ayah + mama + adam = happy stripy feet

paling penat:
electric kat umah tak de (agaknya dah few days). ikan dah terbeliak mata. ayam dah harum setaman. sayur dah layu tanak mekar

tagged: movie addicted - not me

name a movie that you have seen more than 10 times

obviously, CARS!!!!! adam kind of addicted to this movie until he got attached to Bob the Builder then Thomas the Engine and now to channel 63. there’s another one. ever after – the cinderella movie. starred drew barrymore. she was so cute and i actually tried to imitate her bubbly-cutie-mouth

name a movie that you've seen multiple times in the theater

hehehhehe.. titanic. ok.. ok.. i couldn’t help it ok. that was during my dating time and titanic was the only movie yang boleh menghabiskan 3 jam tanpa disedari. part that i like the most? when the ship is about to sink. and there was this one old couple, hugging close to each other. soooooo nice.. so touching.. so romantik

name an actor that would make you more inclined to see a movie.

frankly, none. i don’t have any favourite actors. however, i tend to watch drew barrymore’s movie quite a lot. i just feel hooked up with her acting tho she’s not my favourite…

name an actor that would make you less likely to see a movie.

same goes to this question. since i don’t have any favourites i don’t have anybody that to my opinion would make the movie better if he/she is in that movie.

name a movie that you can and do quote from

titanic: u jump i jump (lets go jumping, jumping) harharhar

name a movie musical that you know all of the lyrics to all of the songs

oooppppssssiiieeeee.. none that i could recall. i enjoyed high school musical but cant recall the lyrics. neither the rhythm. are p.ramlee’s movies considered movie musical? hindustan? if those count, then i know some la..

name a movie that you have been known to sing along with

other than p.ramlee’s, i sure could sing along “because you loved me” – celine dion in up close & personal. and the best of all, ali setan's

name a movie that you would recommend everyone see

errr.. cars? i hardly watch movie la. couldn’t even make any recommendations.

name a movie that you own

my own? i’m the owner? none. i’m not a film maker.

name an actor that launched his/her entertainment career in another medium but who has surprised you with his/her acting chops.

afdlin shauki – talented in both singing and acting

have you ever seen a movie in a drive-in? If so, what?

Never ever

ever made out in a movie?

errrrr.. never… er... actually, i almost did. i enrolled into this dancing activity held in finas. and there was rosnani jamil looking for fresh look for her (then) next coming movie, cili padi. she picked me up and took my number. maybe i'm not meant to shine in film industry so here i am, remain anonymous beside afdlin shauki.. hahaha..

then this one is not actually a movie la. it was only an activity during my development programme in melaka and i had the lead role in a drama. since there was a cameraman, a director, a scriptwriter, i assumed, i was in a movie la ha? Hehehe

name a movie that you keep meaning to see but just haven’t yet gotten around to it.

quite a number actually…

ever walked out of a movie?

once while watching batman returns if i’m not mistaken. the whole malaysia went black out... eh.. sat.. betul ke batman returns. tak ingat la.. ke mission impossible eh?

name a movie that made you cry in the theater.

what else… titanic la.. the truth, i’m a crybaby, what do you expect.. kan?

what’s the last movie you saw in the theater?

x-men

what’s your favorite/preferred genre of movie?

comedy involved.

what’s the first movie you remember seeing in the theater?

mat som. bapak belanja and he went dengkur in the theater

what movie do you wish you had never seen?

tragedi oktober. tobat mak!!!! there was nothing else to watch. i end up buying the ticket just for the sake of watching a movie ok…

what is the weirdest movie you enjoyed?

cant think of any

what is the scariest movie you've seen?

the sixth sense

what is the funniest movie you've seen?

funniest? all were funny

kereta sewa pak mat

(i) made's cousin, kak sah

kak sah: kak sah nok gi kota bharu
myself: ho.. nok gi naik gapo kak sah?
kak sah: naik kereta sewa pok mat lah
myself: oh! (kak sah got driving license meh?)

(ii) made's mom, ma

ma: itu ari ma kelik kota bharu
myself: oh! ma gi nga sapa? naik gapo?
kak sah: gi nga kak sah lah. naik kereta sewa pok mat
myself: oh! (ma also got driving license meh?)

in both conversations, i've never asked whether both kak sah & ma got driving license. one, i dont think i should misjudge a book by its cover. second, maybe there's someone else was there doing the driving. and below is my recent conversation with made.

(iii) my husband, made

made: cuti next weekend lama ni. nak balik krai?
myself: bulih jugak. naik train nak? new experience for adam. tak yah drive
made: bulih jugak. tapi nanti kita nak go around naik apa?
myself: naik kereta sewa pak mat lah.
made: kereta sewa pak mat?
myself: a'ah.. kak sah ngan ma kan selalu sewa kereta pak mat
made: you ingat kereta sewa pak mat tu apa?
myself: kereta sewa la. pak mat bagi sewa kat orang
made: kereta sewa tu teksi lah. org kelantan panggil teksi tu kereta sewa. and they call beca tu teksi
myself: oh!

nossy nervous (ii)

i was admitted to room 313 in sjmc last thursday. lucikly my office is closed on friday - in lieu of the public holiday on saturday. made & adam was there with me. at 2130 hours the concierge guy pushed me to the lab on the new wing. i was pushed on a wheelchair and adam had a good time on my lap.

i was scared. damn scared. being admitted is one thing. had to sleep in the lab is another thing. watching the lab asst tangled the wires gave me another creepy feeling.

first she did the measurement. then i was asked to lay down. then she started to patch all the wires on my head. then to my feet. then moved to my index finger & chest. i tell u, it’s like watching a psycho movie. dia taruk tang situ. dia taruk tang sini. then finito. i asked her if i could sleep with all these wires. she replied, “oh don’t worry.. we haven’t got any strangled patients”. cehhh…

the lab asst woke me up around 0300 hours to put on the oxygen mask. “your oxygen level is low”. next thing i know, i couldn’t sleep. i felt breathless. shouldnt that thing make me feel better? ntahlah.. around 0700 hours the concierge guy came and pushed me back to my room.

i was discharged the next day, ie friday. the doc wants me to stay for another nite but both me and made refused. boringlah duduk spital. nak2 ada adam. i stayed in a 2 bedded room. and adam kept jumping and telling me this and that. pity the aunty next to me. dahlah sakit parkinson, darah tinggi lagi. for adam, tak pasal2 i kena ‘pang’ ngan dia kang…

at the moment, i tengah batuk. sora pun yilek. dah 3 hari sora macam sahara yakub.

maybe i should have listened to the doc kan? i should have stayed in the hospital. barulah boleh dapat bunga kan? heheheh

nossy nervous

i have to be admitted in/to (??) sjmc tomorrow nite, to undergo sleeping pattern study. i’ve been snoring - out loud, i tell ya. not so good thing: i was awake. i know i was snoring. i could hear my snores. ironic. the same thing happened 2 years back. the ENT specialist did something to my nose and walllaa.. my snores gone. however, it made a come back last saturday. i thought i was going to have flu or sore throat. the simpton of lelangit rasa kering and cam sengal2 tu dah ada. then, i was thirsty. damn thirsty. on one thought, dah nak babai ke aku ni.. i was about to prepare my will and contact arb when i had the have-i-visited-the-ENT-specialist-thought. oh! i haven’t.

so, i went to see the same ENT specialist on monday. ada bengkak. and hidung pun ada senget. when did i get my hidung senget? i cant think of any unsual-sexual-movements. neither any hard kicking games with adam. uh.. therefore, the doc advised me to have this study. half of me feel so eager but the other half felt nervous. so anxious. tense!

it was only last saturday mak told me about this mother of 7 died with her unborn child due to some wrong judgement by the docs & nurses. then she told me about another kid passing away for another wrong doing. so when i was told l’ll be sleeping in a lab, nervousness keeps bugging me.

would the doc blunder or mess up things? - i’ve had my bad days delivering adam. and i don’t wish to repeat that episode. no more, please!

what if i’d be electrocuted? - i could be part of the voltron team. Or transformer?

what if I need further surgery? well… the doc did tell me about this implant thingy. perhaps i could ask him to lift my hidung a bit so that mak will no longer telling people “mak dulu kena gosok kasik naik hidung dia nih. kalo tak, peseklah sampai la….”

wooohoooo.. i’m being so imaginative (again) la.

maybe the diagnosis would only be,
“you’re fat. Lose weight, big ass. U snored like a buffalo”

uh! sangat makan dalam..

Hahahahaha…

my mukhsin

i met my mukhsin many years ago. precisely, 16 years ago (iye.. for those who know my age, 4 words - cinta tidak kenal usia.. hahaha).

how i got attracted? i got no idea. love at first sight, i should say. . it all started with a friend. a friend whom actually fall for me. my mukhsin gave in. but he knew and his friend also knew, cinta manakan berputik jika bertepuk sebelah tangan. from being a postman, we started to fell for each other. after 6 months, he had to make a move. that was when our "long" distance love story started.

the love ship sailed north, south, east and west for 3 years.

one fine day i promised a friend to accompany her meeting her date. tidak disangka-sangka, the date was also a friend of mine. we were so happy that day. and only me who thought it was.. from far away, there was my mukhsin. looking at me with his friends. And my thought, “oh. what a twist of fate..” and i went to greet him

few days later, i got my latest pic taken during my mukhsin’s mentor’s wedding – in pieces. the postlady – my neighbour, had hard time explaining. i cried and cried and cried. oh why! oh why! oh why! so many answers. none to conclude…

time flies

we went out one day. one topic to another. and we had this conversation:

mukhsin: macam mana u dengan that x-guy?

myself: x-guy? kenapa dengan dia?

mukhsin: u gf dia dulu kan?

myself: eh pluhleeze la.. mana ada lah. dia tu bf y-lady la.

mukhsin: yg dulu la. yg i nampak u dengan dia tu?

myself: mana ada la.. i gi teman y-lady jumpa bf dialah

mukhsin: he was ur bf kan? that was the reason u nak broke up kan?

myself: eh.. mana ada. since when that he became my bf? u ingat i suka-suka hati nak rampas bf kawan sendiri ke?

mukhsin: dah tu kenapa u mintak gambar u balik?

myself: bila pulak i mintak gambar i balik? all i know u yg pulangkan gambar i – in pieces to be exact

mukhsin: dah x-guy kata u yg nak balik. sebab dia kata u suka dia

myself: mukhsin! no! that wasn’t true. postlady told me that u return my picture as u already had a new lady.

mukhsin: i pulak. mana i ada gf. i was so sad to find out that u ada hati dengan org lain. siap u nak eksyen depan i lagi. so i tore the pic in pieces.

myself: noooo.. i was not eksyen depan u. they wanted to go to that taman. So I followed. i tak duk area tu, remember? mana i tau jalan. last thing i knew, u were there. i thought u terjalan kat situ jugak. that’s why i was so happy seeing u

mukhsin: no.. my friends brought me there. they said u want to meet me there.

myself: I have never planned such meeting. if i were to meet you, i would have called u, myself. buat apa i nak bagitau kawan2 u?

silent

mukhsin: i think they have fooled us. they have twisted the story. i got this version and u got another version. they just cant understand.. they just cant accept it.. now that they all dah ada gf, i hope they understand how we felt..

myself: - speechless -

how i wish i could turn back time.

how i wish his friends would understand.

how i wish he’s mine…..

we spent the weekend (without sleeping over) in bukit tinggi. that time that place had no phone coverage. so we had no disturbance. Only he, me, us.

we settled down. u, me, good friends.

the other day, he got married. i had mix feelings. i’ve let him go. i had. i have. i have to. only 3 things.

one, the wife whom i first met years ago had once said to me out loud “pantang nampak jantan hensem. mengekor je”. and that time i went “kenapa kakak ni? ngata aku ke apa? this is my bf la”. so when I first found out about their relationship, i had a good laugh with akut. “patutlah dia dok ngata aku sangat.. rupenye dia pun teringin.. hahahaha”

second, my mukhsin is the only person whom i was with, that never berjalan berpegangan tangan – suci murni kan? heheheh..

third, he’s the only one whom would point at me proudly say “she’s my first love” to almost everybody, including the x-gf, x-fiance and wife.

everybody has a first love story to tell.

i've told mine

*mukhsin adalah bukan nama sebenar. Nama samaran semata2. tidak ada kaitan di dalam ini cerita*

saya yang pelik

been tagged by kak nomi. before i proceed to tell my "weirdness", allow me to tell u something that i found kindda "weird".

the other day la.. i dengar radio. if not mistaken era and seelan was the dj. artis undangan, nana & achik spin. so the topik was about the life of these 2 guests. bla bla bla.. then there was this question: "what do you like to do during ur free times?" i cant remember what was nana's answer but i sure remember achik's. why? read on..

seelan: apakah kegiatan di masa lapang achik?
achik: achik di masa lapang suka buat benda pelik2 la. lain daripada org lain
seelan: oh! lain daripada org lain? benda pelik apa tu achik?
achik: ha.. achik suka main boling
seelan: (after pause for a few while) main boling pelik ke?

=P

apa la achik.. boling pun pelik. tak taula pulakkan dia main boling macam mana. baling pin instead of bola la kotnya? hahahaha..

ok. back to the original topik. weird things about me.. lemme think ya...

1) i tak minum kopi. not because it's caffeinated. but i just dont drink it. well.. actually ada cerita la. when i was a kid, a friend of bapak used to tell me "na.. jangan minum kopi. nanti hitam". oleh kerana itu, tidaklah saya minum kopi. sebab takut hitam. apa2 pun produk yg ada perasa kopi i tak sentuh. kalo termakan, i boleh terjeluak balik.

2) i tak minum air panas. serius i tak reti. oleh itu, kalo nak jemput datang rumah korang, tak payah susah2. buatkan je lah air sirap. air kosong pun tak pe. penah sekali pegi beraya umah kawan. sekali mak dia buatkan air teh panas. adehhhh.. org lain suma dah habis 2 cawan. i ni terkulat2 tengok je air tu. takut panas. hajat di hati nak tuang je atas piring, peh tu hirup selow-selow. tapi seganlah pulak kan...

3) i tak makan product food. maksudnya, i tak makan sesuatu yg dah jadik produk. contohlah... durian. durian as raw durian i makan. tapi kalau durian tu dah jadik wajik ke, dodol ke, lempuk ke, bubur ke, i tak reti makan. durian as tempoyak tu makan lagi. sebab bentuk dia still macam durian yg belum jadik produk.

4) i tak suka bunga. sebab itu laman umah i tak de bunga. jangan kata bunga, pokok pun takde. harap pokok makcik pah sebelah bagi je lah. itu pun dia la yg jaga. dia tanam, dia letak dalam pasu, dia jugaklah yg susunkan kat depan umah i ni. hahahhaha.. dulu la kan.. i ada lah secret admirer yg suka bagi bunga. berdozen2 la dia bagi. so one fine day, bila dia kol, i pun dengan senang hati bagitau dia, "apa kata awak jangan bagi saya bunga lagi. semak la. bagilah cokelat ke apa ke.." so seterusnya dia pun bagi cokelat. tapi sayang, usahanya tetap gagal. hehhehehe

5) i tak leh makan mengadap org. i'll tend to makan lambat. giler lambat sebab asik leka tengok org lalu lalang. peh tu tengok gelagat org. lama2 makanan dalam pinggan tu sumer dah sejuk. and typically, i cant eat alone. rasa len macam la makan sensorang.

6) i tak jalan laju. skang je dah pandai sikit jalan laju. kalo dulu mak siap cakap tak suka jalan ngan i sebab dia kata jalan ngan i macam jalan ngan indon. berangkai je kat belakang.. heheheh


6 aje kan kak nomi? hehehhe


i nak tag org jugaklah.. i nak tag: fizah, aiza, miera, julie, my daling, che nani, niezam phg & kak yam

mandi

for some people - taking shower
to some others - bathe or bath

but

to adam it's either mandi sungai or mandi roti canai

mandi sungai is mandi with the shower, and kolam pooh yg kecik tu as tempat tadah air. di samping itu terdapat additional barangan-khayal-ketika-mandi seperti tractors, cars, choochoo trains, helis or aeroplanes.

mandi roti canai pula adalah mandi with the shower bersama tuala kecik yg boleh digunakan seperti membuat roti canai

to mama & ayah: mensucikan diri =P

terkenang-kenang

i was a student in sekolah menengah lembah keramat (smlk for short) from 1991 - 1995. not quite best/top student tho. tapi glamer tetap ada =P




memories in smlk:
1) i have 6 good friends (thanks for the friendship ladies..)

2) serong kelas BM sampai cikgu pun tak kenal sampailah habis SPM... muahahahaha

3) nak serong kelas amatlah senang. amik selai ketas + pen sebatang. jalan la satu sekolah. komfem tak kena tanya punya

4) kelas paling boring engineering. giler bodo rasa masuk kelas tuuuu.. time engineering la masa yg paling bagus untuk lepak dengan keyoi

5) from cikgu anita i learnt: org lelaki buat salah macam mana pun, esok lusa org akan lupa. tapi kalau org pempuan yg buat salah, 7 keturunan pun tak mungkin org akan lupa

6) cikgu anita was the person who approached & guide me in understanding add maths. my elective subjects were giler boring. engineering, add science, add maths. and my best score was SAP throughout form 4 - trial. thanks to cikgu anita. if not for her, i'd be seating for my spm the next year

7) makanan paling mahal ayam goreng. rm1.50 seketul

8) pengawas lain jaga pagar satu period je. i jaga pagar sampai 2 -3 period. depends subject apa pagi tu.

9) pn. vemala adalah cikgu sejarah yg best. sampai hujung penggal pun dia still kata "tak pe suhanna. i understand u masuk sekolah lambat. sebab tu u tak boleh catch up". giler best...

10) cikgu ghazali bengkel pun best. malas belajar, dia panggil masuk bengkel. main chess. hahahahah

- ada lagi yg lain nya.. lenkali lah

030307 marked a date. some of us gathered after 12 years. looking at the number of years rasa cam tua je. tapi bila dah jumpa masing2 perasan cam muda je.. hahaha

bertempat di restoran mak zaid - pucuk manis, wangsa maju - myself (+ made + adam) met taj, arif yazid, aris, lynn (+ family), shek and of course zaid. sebelum nak balik sempat jumpa khairiah. those named were not my classmates. except for arif & zaid - whom i dont actually realized that we were in the same class.

the objective of this meeting is discuss on organizing a grand gathering. to call all smlkerz (as what they agreed to call - i'm still in exception) batch 1991 -1995 for a grand reunion.

sungguh gembira rasa hati dapat jumpa kawan2 sepersekolahan. giler best. tapi aris kena marah ngan i. hahaha. sorry lah ha..

walaupun asik berpindah tempat kerana zaid sudah terlupa nak reserved kan tempat and the restaurant adalah amat crowded walaupun di petang hari, saya amat gembira. amat berbesar hati dapat bertemu kawan2 semua.

lepas ni kita jumpa lagi..

so those smlkerz (why la they chose this name.. well at least sounds better than kervoso-whatsoever) sila-silalah layari laman smlk untuk berita terkini pasal gathering.

kata-kata

pesan ayah,
biar orang buat jahat kat kita
jangan kita buat buat jahat kat orang

pesan mak,
sesuatu kejadian mendewasakan kita, mematangkan kita
look forward for good thing, biarlah apa org nak kata

hukum karma,
what goes around comes around
sesekali di atas, kita pasti akan di bawah

and i always believe,
Allah menguji kita sebab Allah sayangkan kita
Allah timpakan ujian sebab nak kuatkan keimanan kita
nak dekatkan kita padaNya


dan kini saya pasrah..

bookworm adventure

not the game. that's me. and i'm craving for more books - no, i'm not pregnent.

i've finished reading all sophie's books - from confessions of a shopaholic until the latest - shopaholic & baby - which i got from made as a valentine's gift. done with undomestic goddes & can u keep a secret.



i'm also done with linda's collections. sheila o'flanagan - isobel's wedding (well... i skipped few pages actually) & diane chamberlain - the courage tree.



i've read madeleine wickham's cocktails for three. for note, madeleine wickham is actually sophie's real name and has written few books before changed to sophie & road the shopaholic's series.




the thing is, i'm quite a fast reader. i could finish reading a book in a day and rasa amat rugi because i dont like reading the same book again and again. resulting in visiting mph every weekend. hmmmphhhh

and another thing, once i started reading a book, i couldnt halt.

so, any books to suggest? no sci-fi please.

third day of february

1) julie weds abg najim aka misai, cheras. julie was so lovely. and i couldnt help but felt a bit sebak. nak-nak bila dengar kompang. rasa nak menitik air mata. sorry julie.. i cant stay long.. i wish i could. and i know u'd understand :) selamat pengantin baru, semoga bahagia ke akhir hayat. i still hutang ur hadiah kawin. couldnt find anything hijau that suits u




2) it was bapak & mak's 31st anniversary bash, kelab darul ehsan, ampang. it was a surprise gift from us, the anak2. arrangements & preparation within 2 weeks. alhamdulillah. all went well. kak ti almost blew it up. luckily kak na was there to cover up. thanks to all the adik beradik & saudara mara on both sides for the time and contribution. appreciate it so much. the contribution was more than enuff. now i'm thinking on what to do with the balance. joli sakan boleh ka? hehehe



3) deebers' 1st anniversary bash, lanai gurney. it was awesome. the first gathering was a year ago in dome, klcc. dah setahun jagung rupanya i've been thru laughter and tears with kak dib and the other deebers. so many things that we did together, just like one big happy family.

*****

all the above happened on the 3rd of february. i was so exhausted. woke up at 11am the next day. hoping that it was saturday. urghhh..

fly back

i was still trying to get latest confirmation from mark & raihan. mark couldn't be firm. bart hasn't come back with the details. raihan couldn't help further.
