Assalamualaikum..

I was 'called' to review a movie. Its our neighbour's named Hafalan Shalat Delisa (HSD). Whats about it? Ive heard about it from my baby sister (you know who you are). She told me that its a story about Tsunami and Acheh. Thats it. Not until few days ago I found a link from my friend on FB and I watched it at 230 in the morning last two days. So here I am. Feeling guilty for delaying the review but better late than sorry.

A sneak synopsis on the story line. The setting of HSD took place in Acheh, Indonesia in 2004. The same year that shocked the world of the tragic Tsunami. I was 16 back then and major thing that struck my mind was the image of a mosque that wasnt affected from the incident. Nuff about me.

Please google for synopsis

Ada beberapa perkara yang aku rasa betul-betul mencengkam hati and kalau korang yg tengok jugak tak nangis, I guess there MUST be something wrong with you people. It shares the beauty of Islam... And Acheh too :')

Ni pengkisahan dari sudut Islam secara general:

1) Jangan pernah mengharapkan balasan di atas sesuatu yang kita lakukan. Never, never and never. Kita kena IKHLAS dalam setiap apa jugak yg kita buat. IKHLAS tu umpama semut hitam, di atas batu hitam, pada malam gelap. Kita takkan nampak, tapi kita tahu ia pasti ada :)

2) Sentiasa redha atas ketentuan Allah SWT. Walau macam mana susah and teruk sekalipun kita diuji, sentiasa ucap syukur sebab masih ramai lagi yg nasibnya lebih buruk daripada kita. But in this case, Tsunami adalah mimpi ngeri yg benar-benar membuatkan seluruh umat Islam hampir diseluruh dunia bersatu membantu mangsa dan ia juga antara ujian Allah SWT paling besar pada negara jiran kita, Indonesia. (Juga sebagai peringatan pada yg lain juga)

3) Islam menganjurkan kita berbuat baik sesama manusia, tak kira bangsa atau agama. Aku percaya Om Ah Chan yang sekampung dengan Delisa sekeluarga tu bukan beragama Islam (pertuturannya telo Cina tapi pekat dalam Bahasa Indonesia) tapi layanan mereka sama saja dengan jiran2 Muslim yg lainnya. Saling membantu dan berusaha membaiki kehidupan bersama lepas kejadian.

Dan apa yg dipotraitkan oleh pengarah HSD tentang Muslim di Acheh adalah:

1) Betapa mereka menjunjung agama Islam semenjak daripada kecik lagi. Mak-mak ni sampai ikut anak-anak ke sekolah untuk amali solat. Semangat tunggu dekat luar to show their support and excited gila bila anak lulus :) (Which I hardly seen in Malaysia). Next is, bagaimana seorang ibu mengimamkan solat empat anak perempuannya disebabkan ketiadaan suami yg merantau mencari rezeki. Bukanlah mak-mak kat Malaysia tak imamkan anak-anak diorang tapi entahla bila aku tengok cerita ni aku ada satu perasaan yg sangat halus. Betapa meskipun kesusahan menghimpit, hidup sekadar untuk hari ni, esok belum tentu, tapi cinta mereka pada Allah SWT, MasyaAllah. Dasyat ;)

2) Aurat. Semenjak kecil lagi anak-anak Acheh diajar untuk menutup aurat tak kisahlah dah baligh ke belum. Tutup sempurna atau tak tapi itulah yg jelas aku nampak. Sampai satu scene tu bila Delisa dan Uminya (Nirina Zubir) nak ke pekan, and Nirina pakai tudung agak singkat (tak tutup dada) and anak sulungnya (tak ingat nama) tegur and cakap warna tudung tu tak sesuai dengan baju and bagi sehelai lagi tudung yg lebih sesuai (kononnya) dan semestinya lebih labuh untuk uminya pakai. #Ironi. Delisa, kakak-kakaknya and semua budak kecik perempuan kat dalam cite ni tak nampak kekok langsung pakai tudung.

3) Ketabahan dan kesungguhan mereka meneruskan kehidupan. Seperti yg kita semua maklum Indonesia memang sinonim dengan bencana alam disebabkan kedudukan georgrafinya. Tapi apa yang pasti diorang sikit pun tak mengeluh (sekurang-kurangnya dalam HSD) tak seorang pun yg menyalahkan takdir malah sentiasa positif dan menyokong satu sama lain dalam menghadapi dugaan.

Ini antara beberapa key points yg boleh aku rumuskan dalam HSD. Memang tak dinafikan, sifat kapitalis pasti ada dalam jiwa setiap pembikin filem. Tak banyak, sikit tetap ada TAPI secara peribadi aku rasa HSD adalah sebuah filem yg menyuntik semangat keinsafan dalam diri umat Islam khususnya di negara-negara Islam di nusantara.

Mungkin mesej penghayatan Islam hampir sama dengan Ayat-ayat Cinta atau Ketika Cinta Bertasbih tapi pendekatan yg digunakan sangatlah berbeza. Mengangkat Tsunami 2004 yg kita anggap sebagai bala bencana sebagai suatu medium baru untuk kita lebih mencintai Allah SWT. Garapan yg menarik dengan hanya menggunakan gadis kecil sebagai teraju utama, HSD terasa lebih dekat berbanding cerita ketuhanan yg ada di Malaysia.

Aku melihat media Malaysia lebih bersifat kapitalis sebab lebih banyak cerita-cerita hantu, syirik, tahyul yg diterbitkan berbanding cerita-cerita berunsur 'makanan rohani' macam ni. Ya, Indonesia pun ada jugak cerita hantu bagai semua tu, tapi kenapa Malaysia susah sangat nak hasilkan cerita-cerita macam ni? Itu persoalannya.

Malaysia tak banyak bencana alam so tak perlulah nak terbitkan lagi. Is that so? Kalau itulah jawapannya pada soalan tadi, then I must be very upset. As a media student, Ive gotta see films as one of the BEST mediums to promote all sorta good things. And why must HORROR instead of LOVE TO ALLAH? HUMANITY? What happened to these kinda genres? Oh its by popular demand. Malaysian just love horror. Guess what? That is the most CAPITALIST statement ever.

What else, oh ye. Saya menulis bukan bertujuan mengangkat filem luar dan meremehkan filem tempatan tapi tak salah mengambil sesuatu yg baik as a guidance for future reference kan? Its jez my two cents. Moga-moga ada pembikin filem kat luar sana yg tersinggah and terbaca entry ni terbukak hati nak terbitkan karya-karya yg berunsur Ketuhanan dan 'soul food' macam ni. Seriously dude, Malaysian really need this kinda movie.

So dear readers, please I beg you. Watch this movie. You'll never regret. Meskipun ada a bit slow here and there but overall the message was nicely delivered and they simply taught us to believe in qada' and qadar and to goes on with life even when you lost person you loved the most. Allah knows well and whatever HE plans for us, HE must have create it the BEST for you.

PS: Air muka Delisa ni ada iras-iras Wardina Saffiyah sikit and it jez come to my mind that Wardina's clan is from Acheh :')

Thanks for reading. Till then! Loves, F

Wordless Wednesday

2012-02-07T17:57:00.000-08:00

Assalamualaikum!

Okay I guess I have to make clarification on something today. Sorry if I ever made anyone feel left out. Deep inside I was never meant that way. Sorry if anyone think Ive changed. That is because Ive got so many plans on my head and it requires my 200% commitment in achieving them. I am now 24 (not yet, but reaching) I need to be more focus in life. Ive gotta think of my future. Well it is no doubt that when you found someone whom you think would be the person you’d spent the rest of your life with, you’ll absorb more positive vibes around. You’ll start to think of what type of career you should start, a dream wedding, your kind of ideal home and so forth. This aint lie bcoz am started to have all these in my mind lately. That is the time when I am ready for someone to give away my life and confess the willingness of sharing each other`s. That is also the time I need my family the most. Ive already made a list of stuff that I should prioritize more than the others and I’ll not let it out here. Just so you know, guess I am mature enough to classify things. Thats it.

PS: Been regularly watching Ustaz Don at Astro ch 114 lately. Alhamdulillah it sparks more love towards our beloved prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and I’m dying to have meet Him in my dreams. InsyaAllah. Till then people. Have a productive Wednesday!

I hardly posed in this, but hey this is where I work! Cheers! ;)

Life so far

2012-02-02T18:21:00.001-08:00

Salam Jumaat semua! Its finally Friday people. And yeah, am still working as I still have a week before I quit my job and here I am. Ranting all alone attempting to share my personal experience towards life. Long enough? Haha okay yg tu baru mukadimmah. No la actually I think today gonna be good for me.Why? Coz its Friday people! Hehe.. Oh well actually my family will host a kenduri akikah for our little princess, Farah Hanani on Sunday. Shes so *cuteadorablelovely* girl (Pls refer to above image) So as usual, Ive gotta be ready to take the lead as runner..Plus Ive facial appointment today at 6. What else? Life been good so far. There are plenty things I'd like to share with you people but as far as I know I still owe you an entry on Milford Sound (God, please spare me time to do a write up on this). Think I cud have started by browsing thru the NZ folder so that I cud get the mood to write!

And yeah, am gonna start my internship very soon. Have to prepare physically and mentally on how working life's will somehow 'change' you. And I really hope it does good to me. I'll take positivity as a MUST. I have to change to become better not the other way round. How to deal with that? Okay here's a true story

SOLAT DI AWAL WAKTU

I hardly practice this back in the days. Bcoz I was so busy getting thru and coping with life and guess that were the lamest excuses I cud ever think of. #Uglytruth. I admit memang susah sangat kita nk fulfill tuntutan yang satu ni which says yes,kita memang solat tapi tu lah. Selagi langit kat luar tak gelap, selagi tu tak semayang Asar. Or selagi jam tak tunjuk pukul 4 selagi tu tak Zohor. Tipu kalau benda ni jadik kat aku sorg (kalau betul, that indicates something T____T). The key point is how you look after your prayer that matters. I aint saying that am good, am still learning but the thing is Ive practiced it. And it changes me in certain ways. To be more productive and positive in my daily life's.

It gives a totally new meaning to perform your salah right after the azan .Badan rasa ringan je bila lepas solat and bila nak buat kerja-kerja lain pun tak rasa rushing nak kejar waktu solat yang lain. Takde dah istilah 'Subuh gajah' ke kan. That was when I feel productive to give the best in whatever I do. In fact everyone knows (I supposed by now, they knew) that pergerakan dalam solat yang kita kerjakan sehari-hari tu pun memberi faedah untuk kesihatan tubuh badan kita jugak. So no more excuse to delay your solah after this. Okay sebelum apa2 like Ive mentioned, aku pon bukan perfect baik segala bagai tapi pesanan ikhlas ni adalah sebagai peringatan untuk diri sendiri dan mereka yang sudi membaca. Salam Penghulu Segala Hari! And yes, Happy Weekend everyone.

PS: Counting days for our Beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW birthday. Selawat dan salam ke atas junjungan besar Nabi Muhammad SAW<3

Semoga bermanfaat

Pernah rasa tak ikhlas? Pernah rasa terpakse bila kene buat sesuatu? Aku? Selalu kot. Aku tau perasaan tu memang lumrah dlm diri manusia. It is common! BUT how to deal with it?

1) Keep in mind yg sesuatu yg kita buat secara terpaksa atau tak ikhlas tu tak mendatangkan pahala atau kebaikan pun. Dalam erti lain dpt penat je sebab buat sambil mengomel, mengeluh. Allah SWT senang je nak bagi pahala kat hambaNya dengan syarat sentiasa IKHLAS dalam mengerjakan sesuatu. Apetah lagi yang berkaitan pekerjaan, tugasan belajar etc. Mencari nafkah utk keluarga kan ibadah? Walau penat camane pun kene jugak ikhlaskan hati demi sesuap nasik, tak gitu? :D

2) Sentiasa ingat yang setiap pekerjaan yg kita buat walau sesusah mana sekalipun selagi ianya tak melanggar syariat tetap akan mendapat ganjarannya suatu hari nnt. Orang cakap sekarang zaman Allah SWT bayar cash. So,be it good or bad deed tetap akan dibalas. Jadi kenapa tak segala keluh kesah yang kita canangkan tu kita ambik sesuatu yg baik daripadanya?

Ini peringatan utk readers and diri sendiri jgk. Sebab sekarang memang sangat tak ikhlas melayan manusiamanusia yg datang kat kedai harini. Hope these two quick tips would help!

PS: Terkenang seorg hamba Allah yg berhempas pulas mencari rezeki sambilan thru baking business. Katenye, selagi kita IKHLAS demi anakanak selagi tu Allah SWT bukakkan jalan utk kita. Yg penting jangan malas berusaha! :)

Till then ;)

How to be nice and sweet. Eh? XD

2012-01-25T03:52:00.000-08:00

It has always been a stressful matter for me to think of topics to blog. I meant a good one. Something that could at least knock some sense on the readers mind. Ive seen the current trend or pattern that people nowadays would opt for in blogging and blogwalking were stuff like culinary eg best eatery places, latest Muslimah fashion (people are so crazy about it), travelogue (which I intend to write often too), parenting skills, like mummyhood as people would love to follow their icon bloggers stories like all the times everyday. Can you imagine how does blogging gives impact to people? I know its cliché but trust me its something huge to have the ‘aura’ to grab the attention of readers be it your close friends, family, relatives and also anonymous.

As for me, I see blogging as part of my favie past time as am trying to write more and produce better writings. So back to the topic. How to find a good topic and initiate people to hop into your blog? Personally I dont have any specific skills. I just blog. Thus my topic today is trustworthy. How to gain trust from normal people meaning someone who is not blood-related to you nor your closest friends. Random. People in your everyday`s live. Or if its not a trust, just take it like 'Ways you could be lovable among strangers'. Lets make it simple and quick. Here are some applicable tips I found relevant to the topic:

1) Smile- This is a must. Try to smile to whoever you meet everyday. Talk nicely to them. Try not to mixed up feelings. If you feel bad on something, dont simply 'throw' the anger towards the next people whom you had talk with. It brings no good at all.

2) Be humble- Hey, you should you know. Try not to bring people down. If you think youre good enough there is always 'another' way of saying "Hey, am the best at it", instead you can say "I cant promise anything but I`ll try to give the best I can". See? Dont stuck in flying high and forgetting you will somehow fall someday.

3) Approachable- I can relate this to #1. Dont expect people to approach you all the time. Why not sometimes make the effort to at least be friendly? Try to break the ice with newcomer? You see thats how people build contacts, make friends and establish rapport. Am not saying to be annoying and approach everyone on the street but seriously, you get what I meant aite? =.='

4) Be generous- I aint saying you to gain people`s trust with money. Its no anything like that. Generous in the context that dont be too stingy. Mom always taught me to share what we have. Come on guys, what is there if you people go and lepak at mamak and you pay for the drinks? Or even maggi goreng? Were that too much? No way. I didnt said to spent on luxurious things for people (unless you could afford, that`d be another storyla). Its the thoughts that count. Simple aite? Remember that all good things will always come back to you and that is Allah`s part to repay. Kalau setakat 20sen pun nak berkira, payahla. Ye dok? ;S

5) Dont be annoying- Great, I love this part. Please guys. You cant tell if you annoyed people. Even myself I try so hard not to do so to 'strangers' especially those who`re not close to me because they might take and perceive things differently than those who knows me head to toe (Even I sometimes annoyed my besties, yeah I know. Lolz). Got it? You never know that youre annoying not unless they seems to stay away from you. Act normal dont simply do things to attract people. Yeah I know people do desperate things to get attention. But grown up lahh! Be mature. You will know where you stand if you agree with what I mentioned earlier.

Thats about it. Hmm, apologize if any 5 of those stated above 'annoyed' you.. Hehe.. But like Ive said, please dont take it negatively but look deeper and find meanings that you could consider for a better self-development. We`re all human beings and what are life without mistakes. But its meaningless if you dont grab the opportunity to change for the better. I always believe in; Slowly but surely.

PS: Ive started working at previous place. Quite different ambiance, with same old feelings. :') February, please come faster!!! ;D

I`ll blog again soon.Till then, F :*

CAUTION: This is a PENDING entry

2012-01-17T09:11:00.000-08:00

First of all, apologize for not keeping this blog updated since forever. Yeah I know I’ve betrayed by promising that I`d blog often. I never thot life would hooked me up. Time constraint. Or shall I give other excuses to convince yall? Guess nope because it’s obvious that life has been insanely cruel to me till I’ve lost my ample time to spare some rant here. So here it goes. I will try the best that I could to fulfill several missing chapters of me while am gone. Let’s bring it on!

Its New Year baby! As usual the typical cliché question will be, “What’s your resolution?”. What’s mine? Do I really have to publicly announce it here? Ah well a wise man once said, write your resolution, and make it clear what you wish to obtain in a year so that you’ll keep on track and focus on how much effort you put to achieve them. Obviously I will begin the few first paras with my 2012 resolutions.

1) I am looking forward to finish my Sem 5 in UKM without any obstacles. Meaning I’d struggle for 3 final papers before am off for internship. Thats about it.

2) Next I am eager to kick off a start of my internship in Feb. The placement would be in a newbie media organization in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Wish me luck on this.

3) Call me lame but this would be the most common; to become better and wiser each passing day. I’ve listed out few ladies as role models of mine. Be it a celebrity, professionals or even normal people out there. In short, those who touches my heart in all sorta ways. You know women, they always have their ‘in-mind figure’ that they would think of whenever it comes into beauty, health, wisdom, motherhood etc etc etc. So do me!

4) To look for a job, earn a living to reward my parents. Wonder how much theyve sacrificed that I couldn’t think of a word to describe their endless support in any ways to make me be who I am today. I am still nobody that’s for sure but I’ll make them proud someday. Swear to myself. May Allah grant and bless them with good health along the way. Ameen.

5) Last but not least, I’d always wanted to have my own assets. Been thinking of investing on something or start up any business that suits me well? This would be my long-term planning but I’ve to start working on it from now.

There you go! 5 are more than enough. The rest I leave to Allah. I will do my very best to strive for each one of them. InsyaAllah. What’s next? Life so far? Not bad. I’m not walking alone now. Ehem! Hush2 ;) Please pray all the good things for me and Mr Future. Darn, definitely will not spoil the next stories on lovey-dovey stuff. Too early to get serious into it as I intend to make this blog less personal (highlight: relationship). That’s it.

What else? Oh yes, they featured me! Yeah I’m on paper! (The heck I’m so excited about it?). Nah it’s not just that. I’ve my best buddies around too! Let’s just take that as a token of final year memory. We were so excited to receive plenty of recognition on FB wall on that particular day (So lame!). Was that the same feeling of Lisa Surihani when she first appeared on paper? (Which I bet she clearly feels ‘uh, okayyy’ to see herself on printed media like God knows how many times). HAHA =P

*I couldnt find any of the copy online. Blame me for being the lazy ass

*Presenting the 'gile-glamor' frenzyyy! Lol lol =p

PS: I will not include this in my 2012 plan but I wish I could travel at least once this year. I don’t mind if it is somewhere in Asean! Have to save some pennies coz I’ve bigger plan in 2013! I’ll keep that to myself first :)

Much Love,

Psstt..I'll blog often insyaAllah XD Till then~

LateNightRant

I hardly had this kinda feeling. When someone bumped into your blog and said good things about your writings (Most of the times are unplanned). Unplanned when I didn’t plot any of those. Totally a random thots of mine were being published in the social media. I am flattered. Not because of the compliment (If it’s what they called it) but for those who really understand me inside out, they will know. How I put such a high admiration to those who called themselves a good thinker, to me, is a good writer as well. As for me, I am slowly climbing those walls. Started with my daily routine being written on public, and how I captured the audience with my travelogue (If I had any) plus how I looked on things and raised up issues from it. My goal is to be good at both. Not to say a speaker as me myself, most of the time regrets on what I have been saying so personally, I` d rather be observant and let my keyboard do the task.

I called myself a good listener, no doubt. They even said I will make a good counsellor but hell yeah. I am still human being. My ugly truth might have been hidden somewhere in my closets. Or in a case floating in the sea who knows? I wore smile mask on my face so that it reflects the happiness in me when the fact it doesn’t. I am just a girl with deep wounds inside. What you saw are not even quarter of me yet. I have many secret to tell. Lies are everywhere. Dont be fool on believing what youre seeing. I am not even myself at times. Thanks for those who happened to read this and hope it could relate on you in any ways. Well at least I could have climbed another step forward on becoming a good storyteller J

Till then.

Love me, F

Untuk kamu yang terpaling dekat di sanubari

Di saat kamu mencari dia

Aku ada di depanmu

Menghantar getar rasa

Cuma aku seorang yang rasa,

Di saat kamu masih mencarinya

Aku tetap di depanmu

Melirik sedikit rasa

Cuma aku seorang yang rasa,

Di saat kamu bertemu dia

Aku masih di depanmu

Meminjam cuping berkongsi ceria

Cuma aku seorang yang rasa,

Di saat dia meninggalkanmu

Aku setia di depanmu

Menghantar duka berulam sayu

Cuma aku seorang yang rasa,

Di saat kamu bukan siapa-siapa

Tetap, aku setia di depanmu

Tidak berdaya meluah rindu

Masih, cuma aku seorang yang rasa.

*An attempt of vintage sense. Excuse my poor editing. Latest me before back on track ;)

Assalamualaikum!

Ive safely arrived in Bangi. As y`all know, school has started and am excited. Know why? Coz its senior year, obviously. And the best part is, Ive got approx 4months before the semester ends and thats about it. Been wanting to jump into the industry for so long. Seriously i cant wait. Lolz. That somehow indicates that am getting closer to the real world. Where you have to deal with people in a different environment. No more jolly moments like we used to in college.

For some reasons, I believe this is just the beginning of entering a new phase in life. A stage where you have to stop thinking bout yourself but others. Mean all this while, I do think about others but most of the time its more about how am gonna solve heart issues, relationship with family, friends. All the 'me' thingy. How should I dress to look good. What type of make up remover that suits me well. How do I socialize so that I dont bore people (Even I know I didnt!) What should be worn on my first day of Raya, things like that. Well as for now, maybe Ive to start thinking of things like How much should I give to my parents when am started working. Am I ready for job hunting or should I just further studies. What kinda investment I`d like to make for my future planning. How to balance my personal matter in working area. Being a good staff, mix with the colleagues etc etc etc. Learning all sorta dishes to be cooked for my future Mr-You-Know-Who. You see? Does it make sense?

I guess am in the mid of intersection where half of my heart is ready and another is pulling off. Am 23. And I know its time for me to think and act like an adult. I wish this 4 months fly slower so that I could have ample time to think on which is which. BUT I hope it goes faster too coz I cant wait to be called a working lady. See? Ive got this inner conflict where I want all sort of things at time but just couldnt pick the best of it. This is totally a mess.

Before its too late. Im glad to meet up all my friends back in Bangi. Been desperately wanting to spend hours updating on each others life (Well thats how we women socialize as sisters ;D). Anyways, my classes for this semester are not really packed but still, hectic with those thesis thingy. Pray that things would went well for me, insyaAllah. Its almost 1am and am doze off. So till then! :D

PS: I may not wanting to live in misery due to the unanswered proposal :') I mean who does?

PSS: On top of that, I think I shouldve wait a lil bit longer then *sigh*

(Captionless pics all along)

Assalamualaikum!

Due to unlimited internet access at homey in kampung, plus i have so many ample time to spare. This entry is gonna be all about my raya pics! :D teehheee

It were on first & second day of Syawal at my hometown in Bentong, Pahang and Kuala Terengganu. My 3rd day of Raya was just plain. Staying at home entertaining family and relatives. Had a very good time with the clans. After so many years, hope this would be the best Raya I ever had :')

Will update more pics soon.

PS: Eating like hungry ghost!

PSS: Cant even think of one right now.

Thats all, Okbye!

;)

Eid Mubarak everyone!

2011-08-31T09:32:00.000-07:00

Assalamualaikum!
Sebelum aku start menceceh lemme take this opportunity to wish all Muslims over the world a happy and blessed Eid Mubarak! Am surely will be missing Ramadhan but yeah, let's us pray for more Ramadhan ahead insyaAllah. Am now in daddy's hometown in Terengganu. By the time am typing it was already 3rd day of Syawal (it's almost 1am). Oh anyways, I hope its not too late to wish my beloved country a joyous Happy Independent Day, Malaysia! What a 2 in 1 celebration this year. Just a quickie update. All in all, 2011 has been insanely kind and generous to me as Ive been cuddled with bunch of lovely people and worth dying experienced. I know it's only beginning of September and considered early to wrap up happiness moments and (of course, the sorrow part) but still. I am thankful. And now, am enjoying all the essence of Eid with the love of my life, pampering my taste buds with good food and most importantly being able to manage my life accordingly without having to think of anything (at least for now). Oh yes, school is opening soon. Real soon. I cant wait to be back in Bangi. It's senior year,baby! Awwww! Though i have plenty things on mind need to be done once am back to school. But who cares? Coz i just couldnt find any switch off button for this raya mode,yet. Will upload raya pics later. Till then!

PS: I have made a confession. If you're reading this, I don't mind if you dont intend to response. Coz all my life I never been anyone's first choice. That's a fact. I don't mind, like seriously.

PSS: Okay fine. Am all screwed up.

Selamat Hari Raya Maaf zahir batin ! Okbai! :)

Every perfume tell different stories, remind different memories

2011-08-18T05:45:00.000-07:00

Assalamualaikum! Hi semua. It has been almost a month. Tiba2 aku rasa looser sebab biarkan blog ni berabuk. Entah2 kalau rumah dah berhantu sebab lama sangat kena tinggal. Booooo diri sendiri. =,='

Okay fine, sorry for been away for quite some time. Hmm, life is tough actually. Sedar tak sedar dah nak masuk minggu ketiga Ramadhan pun and aku baru terhegeh2 nak taip entry wish puasa. Better late than never. So, Happy Ramadhan to all my lovely readers yang beragama Islam walau dimana jua anda berada. Ececeh, hajat hati nk masuk Salam Perantau tapi tak kesampaian. Tsk tsk tsk.

So where shall I start? Oh yeah, Milford Sound? Post pone dulu please. Ive things far better than that to share in conjunction of this holy month of Ramadhan. (Fine, aku janji next entry sebelum raya would be on Milford, okay?). InsyaAllah.

I did mentioned that I am now a part timer in a photostat/printing shop here in my hometown didnt I? No? Its on my tumblr maybe. Anyways, there are few things I`d like to share regarding puasa. Okay lemme give you a situation.

1) There was a man, a Muslim (Obviously a Malay) came to the shop and asked for drinks. Kau tak terkejut ke? Come on lah pukul 10 pagi kot. Okay fine tu satu.

2) There was another man (Early 50s) asked for drinks and it was 2 pm. Kau tau dia boleh cakap apa? "Saja buat standby buka nak buat sirap bandung campur soda". Pukul 2 petang and kau beli aiskrim soda sejuk? (Ada je yang tak sejuk) Masuk akal ke?

What say you? Aku mengaku yang memang aku jual air tu sebab I am not that outspoken untuk perli ke soundcheck beliau2 ni. I admit that I talked behind their back. Kau boleh tahan ke? Bulan puasa, kau jual air dekat lelaki Melayu yang dah sah2 tak puasa. This is true. Kisah first tu, mamat tu memang minum depan bijik mata aku. Kau nak cakap apa?

Sudahnya, aku wat keputusan untuk pk positif. Mungkin betul diorang ni tak puasa sebab ade surat doktor. Kau gastrik ke (Boleh pulak minum air soda kan!), usus nak tercabut ke ape aku tak pedulik la. Yang buat aku berbulu tu kau ni takde muke ke slumber tak hengat minum dgn penuh nikmat depan aku. Kemon la wei.

Sumpah aku terkezut dengan situasi ni. FYI, ni first time in these few years yang aku puasa full dekat rumah (InsyaAllah). Sebab all this while aku banyak habiskan masa puasa dekat kolej. 3 years in Kuantan, 2 years in Bangi. Life aku bulan puasa kalau kat kolej : Sahur (Kalau terjaga), kelas, tidur, kelas, tidur, buka. Terawih pon kadang2 sebab sibuk siapkan assignments etc. So memang tak biasa lah dengan kejadian2 macam ni. Kalau ada pun time kat kolej dulu, tu pun dengar2 orang cite je. "Si A hisap rokok dalam tandas". "Si B selumber ajak aku makan maggi" (Biasa memang dikalangan kawan2 lelaki lah. Kalau pompan aku tak kesah sangat even kau kena puasa tapi tak puasa pun aku tak kesah. Takkan lah pulak aku nak pegi check sorang2 kan).

Tahun ni Alhamdulillah rahmat agaknya uni tutup sampai 5 bulan untuk bagi aku peluang buat menda-menda yang jarang aku dapat buat sebelum ni. Bangun sahur dah ada makanan, balik keje dah ada makanan buka. Malam pulak kalau larat memang aku pergi Terawih and begitulah seterusnya. Syukur, before ni aku bising2 cuti lama sebab dah tak sabar nak abis, tapi ini rupanya hikmah yang Allah nak bagi. I am blessed!

Lagi satu, lately ni banyak pulak permainan hati dan perasaan (konflik dalaman) dalam diri aku. Ingatkan life sorang2 dah tak pk menda2 merepek ni but still, takleh gak nak avoid. Sabau jela banyak2. Malas nk komen lah.

Kepada semua yang baca entry ni, mohle kita sama2 doakan si polan si polan tu semua terbukak hati untuk berubah. Allah Maha Mendengar. Sesiapa yang pernah alami menda yang sama tak kiralah yang beli air or yang menjual air sama2lah kita renungkan. Puasa setahun sekali je pun. Masa ni lah kita nak didik fizikal dan mental kita supaya sentiasa bersyukur dengan rezeki dan rahmat yang diperoleh. Rasanya part ni tak perlu explain panjang lebar kot sebab korang semua pun dah besar panjang. So renung2kanlah yerrr :D

PS: Sumpah rindu kenangan puasa dan buka ramai2 dekat Kuantan. Pegi bazar Masjid. Hanya yang merasai akan tahu betapa perasaan tu membuai bahagia. Bila ingat semua kenangan tu, then I know. Those memories are priceless. Well, that is life. Rinduuuuu T____T

PSS: Tajuk entry sila relate dengan PS

Da lah, malas nak tacing2. Ok bai!

MuchLove,F

Assalamualaikum!

Im back! Yeah, finally. Where shall i start?Okay i know the fact that i owe myself and you readers (if ive got one..lol) entries on my recent trip to South Island New Zealand. Sorry been taking too long coz ive started working my assess off to earn some pennies. A nice part-time job i would say. Time flies. Its almost come to the end of July. Im off to some famous place in Borneo Island next week. Where?Shuhh...Lets keep it hush...So, lets begin with:-

10 GOOD REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD PUT SOUTH ISLAND, NZ ON YOUR PLACES-MUST VISIT-LIST. (PART 1)

1) Hours of magnificent view you will never regret throughout the journey. All the greens, sheep’s, cows etc along the way were amazing. Definitely you wont find it here in Malaysia

Majestic view at Lake Tekapo

The best cross-road experience evah!

2) Not much of shopping done therefore you`ll save up a lot since myself brought back lotsa pics as memories compared to stuffed bags.

Selaku tourist, mestilah noob konon2 semangat tengok peta

3)People everywhere were helpful. Their sense of thought of others is at its best. I remember once our car stranded at a petrol pump in a workshop and its like 5-6am and it hasn’t open yet. This car stopped by and giving us direction. But with the strong Kiwi accent, he left us with doubt. Not even 5mins after, he turned back and lead us to the real station.

4) Things a lot cheaper as compared to UK or European countries. Its similar to Singapore and Brunei. RM2.50=1NZD. Not so bad but jenuh gak le korek duit celah bantal haha

5)You can eat HALAL Nando`s here. After few days ‘suffering’ makan canned and packed food brought from Malaysia, we finally surrender and eating like nobody`s biz here. BUT obviously its doubled up the price. Okay tang ni sedih. Part makan rasa mahal kalau convert. Sobs. Padan muka tadi belagak sangat kata murah. Tsk tsk

Nyum nyum. Its showtime! :D

Wahh bertuahnye dapat melantak salad semangkuk ni sajo! Confirm boleh reshape lepas ni.

Kecewa sebab makan sesudu je salad yang lebihnya tibai mr love kat atas ni. Terus punah harapan nak reshape sob sob :'(

6)Yang keenam ni optional untuk peminat rugby. This is their heaven. Everywhere in here you can easily find all the Canterbury, All Blacks stuffs. Trust me its CHEAP!

7) The cosy weather that is hard to resist. Mesti orang cakap poyo lah apa tapi this is true. Try la rase winter kat any countries yang ade 4 seasons. You will feel sorry if you don’t. My theory is if you CANT stand the coldness, then don’t. If kau pergi oversea hanya nak duduk kat hotel tanak keluar sebab sejuk just forget it. Sejuk time tu je pun, put on some thick layers then. Kalau tanak berjalan sebab sejuk, balik Malaysia jelah camtu. Memang lah kulit da biasa iklim tropika, tapi its all in your mind. I`d like to share my experienced back in UK. Summer kat sana boleh tahan sejukla gak untuk kulit Asia cam kita ni. Suhu belas2 tu standard and sometimes windy and mencucuk2 sampai tulang hitam. My friend insisted me to buy an ice cream and I refused at first. But bila tengok dia sedap bantai baik punya, I talked to myself. “Hampeh tak boleh jadik. Sejuk2 pun beli gak”. And what happened was, yeah its chilling but sumpah I tell you. Rasa fresh gila! Then all you have to think is not about the weather ke but the taste of the ice cream. Its like switching your mind to other things, instead of lorat2 merungut sejukla malas keluarla, better do something else yang you enjoy. Tell you what, try eating ice cream during winter. Its COOOLLLL ouh~

8) Yes, Please, Thank You, G`day, Lovely semua keluar. Idk if its trend or what but people in NZ were so polite. Even in UK too. Macam dah jadik custom dalam lifestyle diorang. Especially yang pangkat macam mak2 ayah kita ni. Sangat friendly dan suka bersembang. In fact one of the receptionist dekat B&B yang kitaorang stay tu pun punyela friendly bersembang itu ini. Courteous is everywhere. Bukan nak cakap Malaysian takde budaya camni but sangat kurang. It hasn’t been a practice in our culture eversince maybe. Am not saying everything about em is good but tak salah if menda2 elok macam ni kita cedok kan. Bukan rugi pun kalau senyum, sembang2 sikit dengan customer ke apa kan barulah budi bahasa amalan kita.

9) I can consumed cheap fresh milk like everyday! I mean real fresh. Pelik kenapa aku tak pernah teringin pun nak beli fresh milk kat Malaysia. Kalau ada pun sesekali dalam bulan biru lah. Kalau betul teringin, minum susu coklat je. Dulu time budak2 dok asrama selalu lah aku pow mak kat Tesco beli yang kotak2 kecik tu. Konon untuk pertumbuhan gigi dan tulang yang kuat, haha. (Tu pun amek mase seminggu untuk habiskan. Sehari sekotak. Paksa diri. Kalau beli air kotak lemon tea, 3 hari dah habis. Setiap kali pergi study hall bawak satu!) Tapi bila dah besar ni rasa menyampah pulak nak minum susu sebab apa? Rasa tak cool lah. Baik aku minum Nestle Yogurt Bliss Drink. Baru boleh melancarkan sistem penghadaman macam si cantik Hanis Zalikha. Woot2!

10) Lastly, kebanyakkan tempat2 kat sini semuanya menunjukkan betapa besarnya kekuasaan Allah SWT. Dengan gunung ganang sebagai pasak bumi. Majestic scenery of Milford Sound (I`ll make an entry about this soon). No wonder they came out with the tagline From Mountains to The Sea. Sungguh tak dapat digambarkan keindahan ciptaan Yang Maha Esa. Subhanallah.

"A hopeful heart and an open mind are the best travelling companions"-Anonymous

Sneak peak for Milford Sound`s entry

Im truly blessed with such wonderful life and looking forward for more in the next future. Now is the time to focus on MISSION X..Weaahhuuu! till then!

LoveLoveLove!

Kia Ora ^^

Assalamualaikum, gday!

Holiday is over :'(

Time to get serious in life. Err, serious as in working my assess off for thesis writing and find a temporary job maybe? Well yeah, Ive got to earn my own living because of the huge "X Mission" I need to cope with in couple of years time.

*Say NO to SHOPPING*~

So, there are loads to tell on my splendid 8 days journey to the South Island of New Zealand. Let just start with first second days. All in all, to know NZ is to actually be there and experience it yourselves. Thus this entry is special devoted to those who would like to put NZ in their wish list of countries to visit. I would highly recommended it though, guess thats obvious :')

We landed in Christchurch Airport after 11 hours journey and we managed to get 2 rental cars for the long trip down south. We had a great food for dinner at Kak Liza`s place (Apparently her hubby is my uncle`s niece), a PhD student in Uni of Canterbury.

So thats it for the first day. We stayed at a motel in South New Brighton and had an awesome journey the next morning to Lake Tekapo and Mount John. We stopped by at few interesting places along the way so feel free to browse those pics that took me ages to upload :P (Blame the internet connection). Guess you people have to bear with my few upcoming entries that I will endlessly write on the most amazing back-to-nature experience of mine in a most lovely country. The weather was nice that Ive had to wear 2-3 pieces (Sometimes 4) of clothing but the majestic view of NZ was far way better that the coldness. So, keep scrolling down as am so busy making love with the nature!

View from D7 2757 Air Asia X

There was snow cap on top of the mountain

We were now entering Christchurch City

Patiently waiting while camwhoring

Camouflage side of me!

Yummy delicacies cooked by Kak Liza

Small family had visitors

Simply love the view

Earth.Love

Such an adorable just like soft toy

Busy eating and lazying around

Impressed on how creative they were to have made any of this

Aiming high for the sky @Lake Tekapo

Scenic view on Mount John

Wish I could stay longer

Myself and those chilling families!

A bucket full of joy

What else could I have asked for?

Simply fab!

End for now. I shall stop and doing something else. Till we meet again, readers! Whoever who`s reading this, thanks a bunch and if only I would know each and everyone of you. These awesome people in virtual life has slowly making me a loyal story-teller! Stay tuned for more travelogues! Much Love <3

p/s: Ive watched KL Gangster. Do I have to make a review? Nahh I think you have to go and watch it for the sake of helping our film industry because I personally think that movie was a great artwork from a 27 years old director. Syamsul Yusof had really make an effort to at least come out with something new for the industry.

p/s/s: Okay fine, I insisted to watch it because of Aaron Aziz in the first place. Oh no, he`s taken :D Hahaha! So what are you waiting for? Go grab the tix peep! Till then ;)

Welcome, June :D

Assalamualaikum!

Life has been so great except for me being jobless, still. Oh how i miss blogging. Several interesting events happened but as I kept on delaying, there it goes. I ended up doing nothing but blog walking, you-tubing, tumblr-ing rather than posting mine. Facebook? Nahh theres a slow traffic in my noti so, yeah its not on top of my virtual life list. At least not anymore. My girlfriends and I, we were insanely screwed up. We have this "X MISSION" (the title the 4 of us have agreed on as I am typing this), it may change whenever required.

What is this"X MISSION?" I`ll point out again when the perfect time come (so that I can keep on track on whats the objective of the mission) but as for now, just let it hush hush baby :) What else? Anyways, have I told you am going for a vacayyyy, havent i? Where? Am not telling the exact place but a little clue is provided in the pic below. So, wish me safe journey. Flyte will be today at 2340. More travelogues soon in the making, insyaAllah :) Rise and shine people!

p/s: Hey you, dont miss me too much! I`ll be back! Bon Voyage Malaysia~

p/s/s: Hey June, pls be EXTRA kind. Thanks!

Lewat ini kurasakan..

Assalamualaikum.

Aku confirm korang yang baca entry ni pasti tak sabarsabar menunggu masa nak serang panggung. Yela fenomena Nur Kasih The Movie (NKTM) dah meledakledak sekarang. Dan aku terpanggil untuk memberikan sedikit komentar tentang sebuah lagi karya Melayu yang tidak mengecewakan ini. Sebuah filem wajib tonton arahan Khabir Bhatia ini telah mengangkat sebuah kisah keagungan Islam melalui pengalaman suka duka Adam, Aidil dan Nur Amina. Setelah enam tahun berlalu, Aidil kehilangan isteri tercinta Alyah dan takdir seakan tidak putus menduga keimanan Adam dan Nur Amina serta mereka sekeluarga.

Dikurniakan dua cahayamata Ilyas dan Mariam, Aidil dilihat semakin tabah menempuh ranjau luka meskipun terkadang kematangan Ilyas sebagai abang sulung sangat meruntun jiwa. Mungkin beliau hanyalah pelakon kanakkanak yang dianggap watak tambahan tetapi secara jujurnya aku merasakan setiap seorang daripada pelakon yang membawakan watak dalam NKTM tidak kira besar atau kecil sangatsangat mempengaruhi emosi penonton dalam merungkai kisah kasih antara mereka.

Berlatarkan rumah sama dalam drama bersiri Nur Kasih, kita masih mampu mengingati bagaimana Adam dan Nur di tengah bendang yang hijau, berhadapan sebatang pokok besar yang menjadi saksi sumpah setia mereka. Dengan emak yang tidak putus berdoa demi kebahagiaan mereka dan abang yang tidak jemu membakar semangat. Kisah Nur dan Adam diuji lagi.

Mereka terbang ke Jordan dan MasyaAllah, sebuah sinematografi yang terlalu indah untuk digambarkan. Serasa ingin terbang ke negara Timur Tengah itu menyaksikan sendiri keagungan Sang Pencipta. Sebuah filem yang telah berjaya membuka mata aku tentang betapa Islam itu tersangat indah sehinggakan ia digarap begitu kemas dengan dialog dialog yang sungguh terkesan di hati.

Tidak puas rasanya menatap padang pasir, dengan beberapa babak menyaksikan pelakon bertutur dalam bahasa syurga. Kegigihan dan kematangan Nur Amina terpancar dalam mencari si suami yang hilang dalam ribut pasir. Adam meskipun kurang berdialog di penghujung cerita tetapi emosi wajah dan geraklakunya berjaya mempamerkan kasih yang mendalam terhadap isteri yang dicintai.

Aku terbaca beberapa komen di fan page NKTM mengatakan garapan yang longgar, terlalu banyak yang ingin diceritakan dan setiap babak dilihat terkejarkejar serta tidak perlu rasanya NKTM, memadai hanya 26 episod bersiri di televisyen. Mungkin terselit kebenarannya di situ, TETAPI harus diingat sebagai penggiat media, khususnya pembikin filem setiap daripada mereka pasti mempunyai pegangan atau ideologi yang ingin disampaikan melalui filem. Meski terdapat mereka yang hanya memikirikan soal keuntungan tetapi sejujurnya aku yakin NKTM adalah sebuah karya telus yang mengangkat keindahan Islam dan bagaimana kita sebagai umat Islam itu harus redha dengan segala ketentuan Allah SWT yang telah menetapkan qada` dan qadar hambaNya.

Pada yang kurang berpuas hati dengan NKTM, fikirlah dari sudut berbeza. Anggaplah RM10 yang anda belanjakan itu sebagai terapi diri, bukan hanya sebagai tanda sokongan kepada filem tempatan tetapi lebih kepada proses menilai kelemahan dan kekurangan diri serta menyuntik kesedaran untuk kita lebih ikhlas dalam mengabdikan diri kepadaNya. Biarlah sejam setengah yang berlalu di dalam panggung itu dijadikan tempoh muhasabah diri untuk menjadi manusia yang lebih beriman.

Kelemahan-kelemahan yang dilihat dalam NKTM pasti boleh ditutup dengan kemantapan watak-watak yang begitu kuat seperti yang telah kita tonton di TV. Sekalung syabas buat teraju utama NKTM Remy Ishak, Tiz Zakiah dan Fizz Fairuz kerana berjaya membuatkan airmata begitu murah saat menonton NKTM. Untuk tenaga produksi NKTM juga, tanpa kerja keras kalian sebuah karya agung ini pasti tidak ke skrin besar.

Benar seperti yang aku pelajari, media massa tidak memberi pengaruh buruk semata-mata kepada khalayak malah mampu mengubah persepsi dan cara kita melihat sesuatu perkara itu dalam konteks sejagat. Semuanya terpulang kepada tahap pemahaman dan bagaimana kita mahu menerima sesuatu. Itu lebih utama.

Remy & Tiz ni memang dah macam serasi sangat berdua. Kan best kalau diorang betol-betol kahwin in real life ;)

PS: Pirates plak lepas ni? :> Haihs, banyak betol filem-filem best. Oh heavennye jadik student! Err, ade sesiapa nak belanja tak? Hehehe. OkThanksBye! :)

heyya...

Those days

Were perfect

You were there

To share gloomy days of mine

Those days

Were wonderful

You were there

To share and laugh at silly jokes

Those days

Were perfect

You were there

We learnt and grown up in love

Those days

Were fabulous

You were there

And be one of my most darling shoulder

Those days

Were simply awesome

You were there

Together we sing and dance in joy

These days

Were a deepest sorrow

You were not there

To heal my 'broken knees'

These days

Were a hardest pain

You were not there

To even make me feel important

These days

Were a worst nightmare

You were not there

To spare some time, soothe my worries

These days

Were never a bliss

You were not there

To cuddle and wipe away the pearls

These days

All i can do is

Hoping that it will always turn out to be

Those days

Ive stated this before. Its time to face the fact. Things change. So do people. If you turn up to read this entry, yeah this is me. Feeling so much hurt and deepest wounds. Right here in my heart. I miss those days, really T__T

p/s: Time to get some nap. Its 0140. Nitey nitez buddy!

Assalamualaikum ;)

Ive come across this Irish proverb.

A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest.

To all readers out there, we might have different views in life. Different principals that we uphold to. Different skin colors. Living in different continents, far away from one another. But with this thing called internet, it becoming closer, even easier to stay in touch.

My concern of this post is, the proverb had struck my mind. Really. How could an Irish have the same thought of people from all different parts of the world? How amazing that we actually shares some things in common? Our beliefs, thoughts and ideas of love and family bonding?

Its universal issue we`re talking about. No matter how big a person is. How much love he/she gives to their companion. There`ll always be a person that is sincerely close to us during the ups and downs. Ive learnt to accept that:

There`ll be two types of person that will never pull you down whenever youre climbing the stairs of victory. They are your parents and teachers!

I just wanna spread this to the world that a mother`s love is the tenderest of all. The kind that stay until-your-last-breath. The most pure one can gives. Thus, dont wait only for special occasions to treat your mum well coz they deserves a super special attention from you. A reminder for myself and you readers too! :P

SEE YA!

Will and Kate, still. They`re such an eye candies!

*Perfect match*

Nevertheless, he is forever his mum`s lil boy. Time flies!

*RIP Diana*

craving for blueberry cheese cake, anyone ? :D

2011-05-06T08:25:00.000-07:00

Been busy lately at homey. Watching tally, playing with cats, eating, lazying etc etc etc. Owh yes, i supposed to publish this entry like few weeks back but i was so damn busy with exams thingy. So, here it goes. My first homemade blueberry cheesecake! Just so you know, daddy had bought us new oven. After so long, thus am so thrilled to explore what it looks like. I meant what my cakes will look like. Hehe, and not forgetting a new cake mixer too! (No excuses to buy cookies anymore, for this coming Eid :D ) Okay, lets now proceed on the steps. Im not giving the exact amount of ingredients.Feel free to drop in my comment if you insist to know more. Mind my baking-terms. It might sounded funny but anyway, am a first timer posting on me baking cake! So, please bear with it T__T

First, you need 2 packets of oreo. Smashed em up for the crust.

Then all you have to do is, pour melted margarine onto it and mix em well

Spread em onto a cake moulder (is it?) and bake for 7-10 mins ;)

Place sugar, egg yolks in a mixer

Mix em up with Philadelphia cheese, evaporated milk....

Dont forget to put into bitten white eggs

Mix em all for about 10 mins to make sure its creamy thick

Now you can pour it onto the crust

Bake for 30-45mins (180degree)

Spread blueberry filling on top of it.

*Not bad for first timer, heh?

Ive got my pic posed with the cake but yeah you know. With me wearing clothe like maid-style (bibik kate orang indo) so i decided not to publish it here, hahaha! Plus i didnt watermarked the pics coz of my lappy`s adapter is still warded so i am forced to use homey`s lappy, with very basic functions. Dont even have skype, YM! or anything like that ;(

Plus am so lazy couldnt even find time to edit it online, so......there they are! ;D Err, what else? wanna know whats special last April? I`ll tell you. Some other time. Right now i just wanna enjoy my holiday, before another hugeeee things in June. Till we meet again people! Love ya! <3

p/s: Thanks a million to all the birthday wishes thru FB, SMS, phone calls, cards and prezzies! They were wonderful.

p/s/s: To Duke and Duchess of England, hey Will and Kate we`ll be celebrating our big day on the same date starting next year. Wedding anniversary and birthday celebration! InsyaAllah. Praying many happy things in return, aminnn :)

Phew. I finally got to say hi to this bloggy of mine. Life has been so good, except for the exams. I guess. Exams arent that bad you see but the fact that you`re studying for more less 4 months will only be evaluated for 2 hours paper. 2.30 hours the max. Such a waste of trees! Okay, enough of being sarcasm. I love exams to the point that i think its helpful to somehow push our grades and get better GPA/CGPA. But thats not the point anyway.

Things went well these days. Im glad, Alhamdulillah! Hmm, as im scrolling my older albums in my hard disk, darn! ive found this. Lets have a peep :D

CAUTION: ANY SCREEN LICKING, OR SALIVA ON THE KEYBOARD ARE AT YOUR OWN RISK :')

Have to start with the owner <3

English Dinner :D

Food loads in Cranfield

Al Jannat in Bedford lil town

Fish & Chips, Berlin

Strolling at Oxford, tempting enough? ;)

Dine-in, Oxford (Or Cambridge) Couldnt recall

Packed lunch, Berlin

Notice the fried macaroni, vanilla-strawberry ice-cream, chicken wings, potato salad?

Yeah, im in heaven!

oopsie daisy! final pic i must say!

Have you seen any rice in above pics? (Except for the potluck party organised by Malaysians in Cranfield). Well, i hardly missed those days in foreign lands. Nevertheless, deep inside im still a proud Malaysian lady. Cut the crap, the point of this entry is that im now lazying in bed, doing nothing but blogging, hunger for foooooddddd....A simple meal would be just perfect at this particular time.

At the moment i have two online journals/diaries. They are my Blog and Tumblr. However, i can proudly said that my tumblr is P&C side of me. Dear Blogspot, you have been good to me since ever. Its not i dont trust you. I do, wholeheartedly. But Tumblr, it has something that you dont. Something that triggers me to explore it more. I can sit hours in front of the screen with Tumblr all over the tabs but not Blogspot. Congratulation Facebook. You`re now ranked number 2 :D

So, here it goes. April is definitely my most awaited month;

Hey April, i may not be your fav slice of cake. But i can be as sweet as cute lil cuppy cake that enlighten a gloomy day of yours. You see, being 'favorable' and 'sweet in its own' are way two diff things. You might favor things that are less sweet while as for me, i hardly favor things. I randomly tasted it. The sweetness of them comes from how much 'sincere' and 'honesty' they blend as the ingredients :)

p/s: Please lessen sugar in your diet. It brings no good but 'evil' to the body.

Lat but not least;

terus terang,

aku bukan pompan yang gedik

jaoh skali kaki meleseh

aku tak reti menyengih-nyengih

aku mungkin tak manja

lemah lembut apetah lagi

mereka kata,

perwatakan aku cam lelaki

suara aku kuat

'gesture' aku kasar

kaki aku saiz 8 (yg ni aku bagitau bukan depa kata)

aku ni patot jadik polis je

dek sebab itu,

aku berdikari

sesuatu yang terjadi sendiri

tanpa sedar aku hilang sifat kelembutan

lebih selesa menjadi kasar

daripada lembut dan ditindas

TAPI,

kasar pun terkadang

terima nasib sama

malah lebih teruk

puas jadik diri sendiri

yang bukan 'kita' juga dipandang

nak aku apakan lagi?

kadang hidup ni

kita tak selamanya kat atas

aku sedar hakikat tu

cuma sedikit terkilan

bilamana kita buat sesuatu yang baik untuk orang

balasannya tak semanis yang diterima

pengajarannya,

jangan pernah mengharap

atas sesuatu yang kita berikan

sebab

Assalamualaikum.

Just a fast recap on whats life is, there`ll owez be and end to something. So, im gonna speak few words on how my deejay-ing experience had made me a lot better person (I hope!). When asked by our Radio Midas coordinator, Dr Jamaluddin (famous known by Dr Jam). Pronounced as j-e-m and not j-a-m :) He asked us whether we like being heard or seen? In the sense that some of us might enjoy babbling alone in the conty while the others busy writing scripts, public service announcements (PSA) etc. As for me, i enjoyed my experience being a deejay throughout this semester coz i think its one of easiest way for 'media' to reach their audience.

Yeah, its true that visual works far better than voice but radio is something big during those days. In fact TV came later than radio. That shows how important a radio can bring to mankind. But, in my case. Radio Midas is only an internal 'radio-wannabe' which it can only be heard via internet in the Midas website. Sad but true. As we go along, i started to accept the fact that they are people actually listening to us! Hey guys, if youre reading this, please know that you people are AWESOME.

So, there you go. Thanks a million for supporting us along the journey. Like what Dr Jam have said; "You must give some thing a chance. So that at the end of the day, you`ll be able to tell me whether you like deejay-ing, or scripting, or you like none of it. I just wanted you to be sure whats really your 'cup of tea'. Im doing this as my job and im sincere to it. Just so i wont be regretted in let say 10 years from now that i`d never done anything to help you. At least at that particular time".

You see now people? How thoughtful a lecturer can be? He even encourage us to further our Masters and the most 'quoateable' saying is, "You can always come back to the university. If you stay too long, it might be hard to go out but once you go out, there`s always a chance to come back" :)

Last but not least, to Dr Jam; "Even if you`re not reading this, i am humbly grateful to have person like you in our school. You may not be with the team all the time but you really a lecturer who cares for the students (even you said its a paid job :D) but deep inside we know that you truly care"

Tadddaaaa~

Me with Ain

Interviewing the galsss!

Noted how excited i was? LOL

Okay, time to get serious ;)

So all in all, i call myself a good deejay (even i sounds out of beat sometimes). I cant help being 'klang-kabot' as usual whenever my slot aired. Oh btw, my slot for Midas is "Joooommmmm Travel!". As im so keen in travelling, might as well i do things that i love! So, thats the end of it! Its a worth-the-living experience i would say. I had fun! Thanks to all Midas team for keep on rocking! I heart you guysss!

p/s: Whats next? Its statistic time! Ok nangis T_T

Till then! :)

Assalamualaikum :)

Finally, it has come to the end of this semester. Year 3 must`ve been tougher but as i go along, im sure i`ll get better. In terms of managing time, emotions, friends etc etc. Buuuttt, i still have a week to do my revision before final that is on April 11 ;) Despite of my few left out assignments that need to be submitted by this week, here i am again. Procrastinating as usual. LOL. Im so excited that i`ve to make this fast and simple

Guess what?

Ive got this as a token of appreciation as my mate, meera and me for our endless effort. We`d done well for our business plan`s pitching last week. The 'award' goes to the most creative marketing strategy that we`ve planned for Bobo & Lily. An animation character that are concern with whats happening surrounding them such as environment, social, politics etc. I`ll post the video once if i have more time later. Thanks to our respective lecturer, Mr Latiff for 'believing' in our ideas. Yeah, thats a frame yet it really made my day~

Assalamualaikum

This time am gonna make things clear. I will stop thinking of what others might say. I will never be an angle cause im totally messed up with lots and lots and lots of drama around me. Yeah, I meant it. There`s a lot, mind u lad. Call me dumb for thinking that everyone like my attitude. Hell no. They were all pretending. I did that quite often. So I`d know that for sure.

BUT that is not my point. The thing with it is why can’t some people be fair in certain conditions? Should there be any double standard? Guess what? Im missing my diploma`s time like hell. With people that im familiar with, the faces, the smiles, the laughter and even the tears we shed together. Sorry readers that I have to place this entry in such an ‘unwanted’ mode. What`s worse? Feeling unloved or being unappreciated? To me, I treasure appreciation more because it is a way of person`s telling you that they loves you. Even if they said they loves you, their actions sometimes doesn’t sync with that ‘L’ word. They might not appreciate little things that you do. That`s life, to be frank.

Right now, im screwed up with this unappreciated feeling. It’s not recognition or attention im seeking for, but you don’t even have to pay to show some, right? Was that too much to ask for? I just don’t get it. Im not the type who posted every single thing about my life on the net, but I can’t bear any longer this time. Anybody who would read this entry by chance, on purpose or whatever reasons, I just don’t care. Mind my words; I respect people just the way I wanna be respected. Thus this is the only way that could sort things out.

My heart, it’s cracked. Im tired of being nice to people. I`m done of pleasing those, and yet, stabbing my soul at a time. Oh just so you know, im quite impatient at things but I called myself as considerate. BUT now, it’s just about time. This may sound childish but hey, ‘freedom of speech’, remember? Im not typing any swear or harsh words. All I wanted is to be heard. That how suck that ‘so-called-appreciate’ attitude affects my life. I may not sitting alone, tearing aloud like some people might do. All I know is im becoming heartless each day.

I tend to look at things differently. I may not have the same feelings for the same person. Not anymore because to me, that`s all crap. First you might say you love me, the next day it’s gone. Here, again what I wanna emphasis is that there is no harm in appraising people, not to say that in a negative ways but who knows it might be taken as encouragement to be better and even the best! I`ll just wrap up this entry by this saying;

"Sometime, somehow. You might not realize that how much little talks, pleasant words and sincere smile, would touches somebody else`s heart. They even pray for you to be bless with even more happiness in life".

I did that. So readers, you never have to pull out cash from your wallet just to brighten up other`s day. Have faith. Assalamualaikum..

Love,

THUMBS UP!

Assalamualaikum

Being the earliest to watch this epic of the year, made me feel so lucky in a way. Despite the tonnes of undone tasks, i urge my bestie Ain to accompany me to watch this newborn from KRU STUDIOS, HIKAYAT MERONG MAHAWANGSA (HMM). I heard the name since primary school but i`d never known what or who this legend is/was. Not until i watched the motion masterpiece of the trio`s. Blame me on laziness of reading reviews cause im falling in love at first sight with the movie when i sneak on its first trailer. Since then,i promised to myself that i MUST watch it in the first week of its` released.

Okay, enough of the intro. So, personally i think HMM is brilliant! the first 15 mins of the film made me feel as if i was watching Troy or 300 or something similar to them. Or maybe, it cant still be at the level BUT it almost there. Stephen Rahman plays a great role as Merong, the descended of the Great Alexander. Personally i think he did well and i can hardly breath in few scenes that shows how masculine he is. LOL (typical woman!) haha :) His Malay language sounds perfect even there`s few slangs here and there but i think he must have been working am to pm in the sense to make HMM alive!

Looking at the hi tech aspect, the CGI had helps a load! KRU STUDIOS must have put 200% of their soul to potray HMM on the big screen. After years of research and hard work im sure it paid off as the ratings for HMM on the second days reached millions! Wait until we hear the feedback from other 72 countries that bought this film. Im sure a history in film industry is soon to be made. And as a student in media and communication, what i like the most is KRU isnt only focusing on the industry itself but to the extent they`re letting the world to know that Malaysia too has loads of historical value to be visualize in a highly recognition standard of the international level.

Besides, not only they`re making money but they somehow promoting the country`s tourism via this creative industry. It is never impossible this siblings will be featured in Forbes mag in the future time. Im so positive, that HMM will be the first Malay movie to be be crowned as the most waited film of the year.

Speaking of history, honestly this is the one that never bores me from beginning till end. History is never my cup of tea but with an ancient and modern scripts combined, HMM is perfectly told history movie ever. All in all, im gonna type this fast. The chosen of casts were awesome too! I bet KRU must have their reasons on why they put them on screen. Im not paid by anyone to write this and as a media student im sure the people in the industry would have people like us to comment or even criticize on this great manuscript.

The CGI impact might not be the best compared to products from Jerry Bruckheimer or James Cameron but im proudly honored to have our Malaysian`s to actually come out with this HMM. Its a legend in its own way. Sorry i mixed up everything from the plot, casts, CGI, KRU`s entrepreneurship, promoting tourism etc etc etc. Lets take that as an educational purposes.

"DEAR KRU, I HOPE YOU PEOPLE ARE READING THIS. I LOVE YOUR ARTWORKS. IN FACT THE WHOLE TEAM HAS DONE A GREAT GREAT GREAT JOB. IN MAKING SUCH HISTORY ALIVE! I WOULD NEVER BE HARDWORKING ENOUGH TO LOOK FOR THE HISTORY ON THE NET BEFORE I WATCHED HMM. AND NOW, I CANT STOP BROWSING ALL WEBS RELATED ABOUT THE LEGEND. SEE HOW AN HONEST MASTERPIECE HAD BEEN SCREENED CREATIVELY AND YOU PEOPLE ARE MAKING HISTORY FOR BEING BLESSED BY SUCH TALENTS. IM SURE WITHOUT PASSION AND HARD WORKS, HMM WILL NEVER BE REAL. PLS, KEEP MOVING ON. OUR INDUSTRY THIRST FOR THIS KINDA PRODUCT. WISH YOU GUYS ALL THE BEST OF LUCK. MAY ALLAH BLESS YOUR JOURNEY IN TOUCHING PEOPLE`S LIFE. WELL DONE!!"

p/s: My condolences to Japanese on the Tsunami`s attack yesterday. Let us pray for the safety of the people and all other countries too. Mother nature has spoken. Does anyone realize that? Take deep breath, and pls. Do anything you can to help the environment. Cheers! :)

Love, F

Assalamualaikum!

Have i told you that im the type who always been outdated on things? Well, occasionally! As for now, im so eager to bring you people back to the past 3 years, 2008. Its all started from this novel by Sophie Kinsella, Remember Me? Oh i just love the tagline---> "What if you woke up and your life was perfect?" LOL! couldnt have imagine that myself. This, ive taken from the official website of Sophie Kinsella and ive included the summary of the book for better picture:

Lexi wakes up in a hospital bed after a car accident, thinking it’s 2004 and she’s a twenty-five-year old with crooked teeth and a disastrous love life.But, to her disbelief, she learns it’s actually 2007 – she’s twenty-eight, her teeth are straight, she’s the boss of her department – and she’s married! To a good-looking millionaire! How on earth did she land the dream life??! She can’t believe her luck – especially when she sees her stunning new home. She’s sure she’ll have a fantastic marriage once she gets to know her husband again. He’s drawn up a ‘manual of our marriage’, which should help. But as she learns more about her new self, chinks start to appear in the perfect life. All her old colleagues hate her. A rival is after her job. Then a dishevelled, sexy guy turns up… and lands a new bombshell. What the **** happened to her? Will she ever remember? And what will happen if

she does?

The thing with the book is, if I were Lexi i might be the most happiest girl in the universe. To have a perfect dream home, a loving husband, there`s no more jeans and shirt but designers outfit, and most importantly youve got to be a boss in your own department! That might be the most glorious life a woman would have dream for...

BUUUUUUUTT...

When i look back at another side of the story, on how Kinsella`s portraying Lexi`s old life i think i might have love that kind too! Why? Whats wrong with staying in a small apartment and wore those shirts and jeans? Even if i own a dress from Nichi or using those make ups from Elianto or Body Shop are good enough. Not to say designers, i`d rather been wearing a 'nameless' shawl to cover my hair rather than donating money to some establish brands. Are they soooo significant to you?

Well to me, being Lexi she might have everything a woman would long for. Yet, she isnt even happy with her new look! She cant eat carbs (coz the hubby, Eric is Hitler`s nephew!) He controls everything. A health conscious that turned out to be dictator in her own diet. Lexi was a bitch-boss from hell too! Thats what her girl friends always said. They dont hang out together like always, she was bossing around. They named her, Cobra!

Is that the kind of life one would ever wish? Do you still believe that the kind of current life Lexi`s having is perfect? Think again. I may not agree on few things but i always believe in humbleness. There are pointless for someone to have everything in life, in the sense u missed the crazy stupid moments with your best friends? Are you gonna let off the hanky panky smile and grin in your face just to look fab with those designers dress? Will you?

As for me, im not gonna say that i never dream of any those desire but i always keep things for real. Im desperately needing this humbleness of the inner me to be able to cope with things. Im absolutely fine to have all the fame as long as i will still have my beautiful friends around. As long as i can still eat all my fav food and not cutting off carbs just to make me feel good about having 36-24-38! Most importantly i would not trade any of those just to be named after a snake! I meant, anybody would?

So the point i`d like to emphasis here are-->

You might be facing an endless troublesome in life, but always think that to live a simple life, surrounded by all your loved ones, being able to breath fresh air, sleeping in the most cosy bed in room, laughing, giggling and grinning like nobody cares, sipping my cup of tea by the window in a rainy day. That would be the life i`d die for. Honestly :')

Assalamualaikum!

Lifes getting ok. Ok in the sense its normal. Nothing extraordinary. Sorry yesterday was a bit psychotic. Too many things left untold. Now i feel like flying away to NZ and go for a sky diving. And bungee jumping too! ;)

If i were that rich, ill travel around the globe. Oh btw, i had Mcd for lunch today. That must be one of the reason im getting back my normal life. That will be the first and last for this month. I must restrict myself from consume too much fast food coz they contain only-God-knows the amount of MSG, obviously. I meant it, theres a lotttttt.

Let alone my psychotic attitude a day before. Now i would love to share this beautiful experience of my production group to our senior lecturer homey, Dr Ali Salman. Named POSH PRODUCTION, we`re going to have this multiple camera production project called 'In A Foreign Land'. Basically its a half an hour program in the studio, most likely similar to a talk show but its our own concept and i can proudly said it took almost 60% of my time thinking on how its going to be held. It just around the corner, this March 23rd.

The most thrilled part i wanna share now is that we gonna have Dr Ali in the house! He is a Muslim from Ghana that has been living in Malaysia for nearly 20 years. (Since 1991) Completing his undergraduate and masters studies in UIA, he continued his PhD in UKM and been honored his doctorate in 2008.

He is a man with a strong personality. Married to a Malay woman from Kelantan, they had been blessed with beautiful daughter, 13. What interesting i`d like to share is there is this book he wrote on explaining bout his tribe back in Ghana that is Hausa, Muslim families that came from West Nigeria. Basically the major important point of him writing, was because he wanted people to acknowledge that there are many of Muslims who are 'black'.

Sad but true, our people tend to like stereotyping this group as they had been exposed with the negative impact of the media saying that these 'black' people were those who created chaos and that makes the society feel unease on having them in public. Thats the fact. I admit that i feel the same sometimes.

After meeting him, i noticed that our culture had been instilled by the 'white' to actually versus the 'black'. We had been taught that black is color of evil, hatred, revenge, darkness, negative etc etc etc while white will always be the symbol of purity, cleanliness, peaceful, happiness, positive etc etc etc.

Thats unfair. At this age, im supposed to have this strong opinion on things. Regardless of colors, Islam is all over the world. It across continents. This is totally not a racism entry. Take it like this. Ive never met any foreigners that speaks Malay like a native speaker. Ive never thought there is actually an easygoing lecturer that was willing to sacrifice his resting day to entertain the students. We`re so glad you did, Dr! It has been great help~

To Dr Ali Salman, if you happen to read this--> Million of thanks for contributing to our POSH PRODUCTION project. A course work that made me realized of other little things in life. May Allah bless you and family, aminn.. Dont forget our studio interview at March23rd soon~ (Now i hope youre reading this!) Just joking ;)

Thanks 4 sharing your memorable experience with POSH!

Those are bunch of awesome people around me!

Hello readers! To be frank, it was tough to pick the best picas I’ve taken in Dublin. Nothing was easy as I keep scrolling, my mind keep thinking what to write and where to start. Everything about Dublin was so nice to me. So lets begin our second part of my visit in this Irish land. After a long day visiting the town, I managed to get few souvenirs for lovely people back home. My mates and I we went back to the B&B, resting for a while and ready for the night life in Dublin! Oh, before I forget, please drop by at Carroll`s Souvenir Shop as they offer the most reasonable prices! And not to forget make sure you go to the right side of the Ireland cause you might go to the same Carroll`s but get different prices for the same thing. I have to remind you this, I don’t know why but it seems like Dublin has been divided into two parts that are for the wealthy people and the other side is for middle and low class people. I`m not sure for what reason they did that but that`s the fact cause I almost bought the same fridge magnet at the same Carroll`s with extra euros! Luckily I managed to survey from door to door and found out that it`s not the same. Okay moving on to our night activities, after changing clothes, and some refreshments made we went to this bar to watch World Cup. Yeah, its Brazil vs (I can’t remember what`s the country). It was amazing we sat in the bar, (apparently with me wearing scarf) a Dublin shirt, without ordering anything, and we waited like until the game finished. Cool huh :D

Next, the journey begins at Temple Bar. Btw, just to let you guys be informed that there are plenty bars along the road and this is where their night life`s linger. Let alone the street performers do their job, all I wanted to show you issssssssssssss.......... Lets rocking onnnnnn! J

us in the bar

seems somebody`s gonna samba tonite

its harddddd rockkkkkkkk

keep rocking!

Along temple bar

They`re super duper awesome!

Bank of Ireland

Something i wud call art

Okay this was the most memorable trip in Dublin I guess. Howth! Make sure you read this carefully before proceed to the pictures. Sources from Wiki J
Howth (pronounced /ˈhoʊθ/; from Old Norse: Hovuð meaning "head" — called in Irish: Binn Éadair)^[1] is an area in Fingal County nearDublin city in Ireland. Originally just a small fishing village, Howth with its surrounding rural district is now a busy suburb of Dublin, with a mix of dense residential development and wild hillside, all on the peninsula of Howth Head. The only neighbouring district on land is Sutton, primarily on same peninsula. Howth is also home to one of the oldest occupied buildings in Ireland, Howth Castle. Through the years, Howth has been used for movies such as Last of the High Kings and Boy Eats Girl.Howth is located on the peninsula of Howth Head, which begins around 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) east-north-east of Dublin city, on the north side of Dublin Bay. The village itself is located 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from Dublin city centre.

Hi, assalamualaikum!

If you all noticed that i wrote a lot on my experiences visiting other part of the world recently. And today, as promised itll be on Dublin, Ireland. I started to have this dream of visiting Dublin after i read the hit-seller PS I LOVE YOU by Cecelia Ahern. It became huge, when i watched the film few years back. Often i heard there are many Malaysian students are taking medicine course in Dublin (which im NOT part of them) Techinally, thats how my love started to bloom :) ok, thats lame :D

The idea started when we thought of dropping by in some other Europe countries after Berlin. But the plan changes and we decided to visit another part of the UK after comparing the flight ticket prices and im soooooooo damn excited because DUBLIN had won the most vote! Thanks to Ryan Air for making this a dream come true :')

So, here im! Hello Dubliners! :) Im gonna share the bittersweet experiences in Ireland. It all started with kinda nitemare for us as we were cheated by this Bed & Breakfast (Westerners, they called it B&B). Its more like a motel and we`ve made deposit online and we cudnt believe that they said it (the B&B) was closed for renovation just right after we stepped in the front door. AND the worst part, it was late at night and we`ve got no idea where to go until one of us decided to lodge for a report at the nearest police station. We`ve got all the proof of transaction`s made and we knew that our side of story was true~ Im not creating this bedtime stories but one thing for sure i`d always believe in miracle for Allah SWT never put us into hardship for no reason. There`s this blessing in disguise. Right after we waited for the bus, i saw this man. Across the road. Looking very familiar. Like most other Malay man. Without hesitate, i shouted at him. To cut it short, he was a Malaysian student living at the end of the road. Opposite Dublin Mosque. We ended up sleeping on a cozy bed of the house. Thanks people for the 'unplanned' hospitality.

Ok, moving on to the 2 days trip around this Heineken city, we went to the nearest B&B for backpackers and checked in and put our belongings before heading to the places of interest. To me, Ireland is almost similar to the UK (except the fact that they use euros ;D) Lemme just brief on it and let the images steal your attention.. Im gonna start the tour from Dublin city.

Hello Dubliners!

The ice cream cost me about 1.50 euros per scoop, but the guy put double on it, he said "special for lady with scarf" ;) LOL

Can you spot the tower behind me? (Im not sure what they call it actually) That is sooo significant with Ireland. Obviously :')

A reward after a longgggg tiring dayyyy. Yummy! :P

"Eventhough we were duped on the first night, slept at a crabby backpacker's motel and didn't even have enough money to eat a proper meal, my trip to Ireland was the best decision I ever made!"--

Quoted: my mate, Mardhiyah Amiruddin

All in all, a trip to Dublin was magnificent! Im humbly grateful for the memories. I`ll be posting a second entry soon. Be good peeps!

p/s: I can still remember the taste of tuna-corn sandwich at this mart. Oh im missing those days like nobody`s business. I need time machine right now. DORAEMON, come to mama puh-lishhh? ;))

Oh ye, mungkin nak ke library malam ni.

Dan lepas asar gi pasar malam.

Takleh jadik dok bilik lama2.

Okay, hyper mode officially activated.

Tu jela nk update.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer's lease hath all too short a date:

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade

Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;

Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou growest:

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

Assalamualaikum and hello people!

Orait, lets postpone on DUBLIN cause i have another interesting entry on~ Stratford Upon Avon. Yeah, believe me. Its Shakespeare`s birthplace, baby! You can google it yourself to see the clear image on where it is located in the map cause its way too technical to be explain here. So lets just make this short and simple. I stayed at my friend`s place in Birmingham. He is studying in Warwick, and we asked him to bring us here. Taaadddddaaaa...

this is soooooo English, isnt it?

That stripes-shirt guy is my friend. A long lost primary school mate, faiez. With her Uni`s friends. Thanks a bunch people for the great hospitality~

That is the house of the poet. We didnt enter cause it charges quite some pounds but the fact that we arrived a bit late and it almost close for business already :')

Somewhere in the souvenir shop i think

Hello readers!

If you people notice that i`ve already got a nuffnang`s ad at my side bar for you to help me earn some "kaching" while blogging! okay this is wayyyyyyyyyy outdated but lucky i have this friend of mine who was willing to help me create a nuffnang acc. Thanks zul! oh i am not a famous blogger but still, trying to keep posting as often as possible. Apart from the hectic life in college, with school`s work, personal complications. I hope i will still have time to visit my dearest baby, this soul canvas of mine :D

Okay, i`ve got this problem, that my adapter didnt work and i am now using my friend`s one which he allowed me to use until 1am today. Too bad. So, just a quick update from me. I will write on Dublin soon (if i am not lazy to go to the faculty`s lab to use the pc) which i hope i` m not! Ouh, its not lazy people, i just couldnt find some me-time to lazing on bed doing my readings and blogging. Okay thats an excuses. I will try very soon k (after i finish submitting my 3 chapters in thesis writing, LOL)

Speaking of reading, besides my loyal journal articles lying in bed i have this current obsession on this novel. Feels like dont wanna stop reading once i`ve started. Will update a review on it once i finish! Been looking for this novel since ever, finally...... ;)) ---photo source from Mr Google~

I think thats more than enough for now. Need to focus back on school works. Feel free to help me with the nuffnang ;) Be good yeah!

p/s: oh btw, hello February. I hope its not too late to welcome you. Be good to me yaaaaa ;))

L o N d o N, with L o V e

Hello there! i wrote this particular entry on my trip to England cause I couldnt find my cousin engagement`s pictures folder in my hard disk. So i decided to share with all my lovely readers on my most fun trip to England last year! It has been a year, but still. I can feel the wind touches my face. Smell of morning haze in Bedford. Shiny sun on the evening. Perfect summer of my life!

BEAR WITH ME! ;)

Until this moment, i feel so blessed with so many good things in life. I`ve had so many beautiful memories that i cant share it all here. But one thing for sure is, nothing like homey. I am proud to say that i love travelling. I love to explore other parts of the world and i had made promise to myself that someday, I`m going to round the world. I believe that being a traveler is the best time for me to actually sparing some space for myself. To actually been able to enjoy the various sceneries and making life worth the living~ There are a lot of good things we can learn by travelling!

So, here it is. My unforgettable experiences in England. (Laugh at me, i know this sounds so like SPM essay~) :D

Okayokay. Tuning Malay lahhhh

Waktu aku pergi dulu currency around 1 pound= RM4.89 or something, dekat RM5 gak. So nak kate heaven sangat shopping tu taklah but everything seems affordable except for certain things yang rase memang tak reasonable langsung =P

lets rocking on!

in the underground tube-Hyde Park station ;)

London`s most significant landmark~

Somewhere around (i cant remember the name) park. hahaha

Rose besar pinggan! kat Cameron pun lom tentu leh jumpa ;)

Obviously, what i can tell is the food here were damn cheap (dengan syarat kau tak convert, thats the rule nway!) Tapi for those yang memang earned pound sterling, setakat 500 pound memang dah mewah. Kalau groceries tu nak penuh troli kau tak sampai 30 pound. Ok menangis sekarang sebab kat tesco ke manamana tempat pn RM 50 mungkin kau hanya akan dapat 3-4 barang--> susu tepung, pampers anak, stok maggi dengan milo tin sedang!

Amazing how numbers can play with things, currency to be more specific. My wise lecturer once said, please take note on the international currencies cause it somehow might affect your life unconsciously. You might never know. One simplest example. Kawan aku yang study kat England nu, kalau balik Malaysia akan rasa hangen je bila nk convert duet pound cause pada diorang RM5 tu sikit kalau nak compare yang pernah rasa RM7 ntok 1 pound. Tapi untuk aku yang peghhaakkk baru pes tyme sampai UK nu, rase RM 5 tu agak berpatutan la kalau nak compare RM7 ntok 1 pound. As simple as that?

Okay people, more pics to come. I`ll update on Dublin later :) yeah, lately ni hujan seluruh Malaysia. For those yang kawasan rumahnya dinaiki air, jaga diri musim hujan ni cause malang tak berbau. Not to forget, doa dan ingatan dipanjatkan pada Allah SWT moga saudara seIslam kita di Mesir beroleh keselamatan dan keamanan khusus untuk warganegara Malaysia. Dengarnya syarikat penerbangan tempatan Air Asia dan Malaysia Airlines sedang mempersiapkan pesawat bagi membawa balik mereka yang terlibat pulang ke tanah air. Moga dipermudahkan segalagalanya. Till then!

p/s: Lepas satusatu dugaan. Banyakkan muhasabah diri ye kawankawan! Pesanan untuk diri sendiri juga. Lastly, Congratulation and big hugs to my kazen Nurhasrin Abu Hasan on your engagement! :)

Last for now :))

2011-01-25T10:47:00.000-08:00

If i meet a guy who:-

-Never fail to make me laugh

-Always there when I needed the most

-Tries his best to apologize for any of his wrongdoings

-Constantly makes me feel loved

-Kiss me on the forehead before sleep

-Text me good morning

-Prepare breakfast sometimes, just to surprise me

-Help me in the kitchen

-Soft spoken, never raised voice except while karaoke-ing :)

-Hardly use harsh words

-Will still smile at me even after long tiring and day at work

-Never stop staring at me during dinner date

-Always wanted to hold my hands in the crowd

-Passionate in things we both share in common

I will always love the way he:-

-Treated me well

-Handle things even at its worst

-Cares about his oral health

-Take care of himself, eg no cigarettes

-Sometimes grumpy

-Acting annoying but still adorable-in my eyes!

-Seems to be forgetful on certain important things

-Sometimes too lazy to get up from weekend nap

-Treated my family, especially the parents

-Eating too much~

-Snoring even for a short nap

-Unexpectedly we`re wearing the same colour of shirts

I dislike when:-

-He said Simpson is a crap

-He sometimes praise my cook even I know its lacking of sugar, salt, spices etc

-His attempt to surprise me turns into a nightmare cause I`m not in the mood (occasionally, each month once ;D)

-He said my profile pic on fb is outdated

-He always forget to check his mail (especially when I`m trying to be sweet sending silly love quotes!)

- He sometimes put his ego to the max!

-He forget to return my call

****************************************************************************************

Please be warned that all written above are crap of mine. Sketching piece of facts on how to look for a perfect guy, that is when you accept his flaws and never questioned. Never criticized. Being imperfection is even beautiful. When you managed to live and love every inches of him. Okay, lets get into a a lil bit serious mode. BLUE VALENTINE. I watched it couple of days ago. Apparently the same time with my bestie, Nurul. Like planned, we`ve promised to make a review on the story right after watching it. So here I am. She done her part and let me start with my side of the BV :)

I am speechless. Lets begin with the technical aspects. Some might says the camera angles are lousy, as in it was not always on the tripod, panning left to right, tilted up to down. But Derek Cianfrance made it. From his eyes and views. Thats make BV so human. Its alive. We dont need any of high tech effect, but to put Ryan Gosling (Dean) and Michelle Williams (Cindy) in a frame together, thats when the movie are at its best! Admit it. Viewer`s interpretation might not be the same but to me, its tearing my heart.

How can a love be so pure?Now you tell me?

Dean, who is so passionate to his wife. Searching for miracles to happen in his marriage life, with cute daddy`s lil girl around. What would a woman like Cindy could`ve ask for? Why cant they be like their older days? Dean is good to her baby girl, he loves the family. He deserves some affection. But does rejection he supposed to take? Being in Cindy`s shoe, I bet it never be easy. To please your husband when there is nothing more left?

Approaching the worst part. This is heart breaking. This scene. Its like putting a teaspoon of vinegar on your wounded finger. I meant it. How can a man, who was without doubt pulling out his wedding ring and threw it away. And after a minute, turn around and looked for it in the bushes? Have you ever imagine a guy would do that for you?

Cindy said, there`s nothing left. Nil. But why? Is the director missing any of flashback scenes? On why they`re no longer good together? Here`s my POV, to me Cindy was an angelic wife. She loves Dean whole heartedly. It just Dean, he didnt even realised when he`s actually losing his darling sweetheart

Call me lame, but this is it. Ryan Gosling regardless of Noah or Dean. He somehow makes me believe that there are still men like him in this world. Maybe all I need is to taste the sweetness of patience. Good things come when you wait :) I know these are all in movies, but not to deny that it does happens in our lives sometimes. Just hoping for the best. All in all, BV is a creatively well told story in a simple visual. Hence, it takes the world to convey the messages of how a man can love a woman, so unconditional way. Great job Ryan and best of luck to Michelle for her nomination for actress in leading role for oscar 2011. All the team had done an awesome job on portraying the BV as a piece that bring tears in me. Its my kind of 2011 significant movie so far. Thumbs up! :)

p/s: its 4am. bedtime!! ;) zzzzz

the seventh country in my whole life journey :)

2011-01-21T09:45:00.000-08:00

Hi semua. Assalamualaikum!

Well, sebelum aku peram story ni lamalama alangkah baikya kalau aku dapat share pengalaman aku sepanjang 3 hari di negara seberang. 15-17 jan hari tu, aku dengan trip geng media melaka (friends during my working time previously) went to Bandung Indonesia for leisure and working at the same time. Its not actually working but a trip visiting newspaper office there. Kantor Pikiran Rakyat. First day arrival, what i can tell you guys here is that it was awesome! Weather were nice, cozy. Simply love it. We went for dinner at this minang restaurant, i guess. Couldnt remember! hehe. Checked in at Karang Setra Hotel and zzzzz~ :)

Caption: Before checked in at LCCT. Thanks guys for putting lotsa effort to send me :)

Caption: Me on board~

Caption: Safely arrived ;D

The next day, we went to Gunung Tangkuban Parahu. As usual, like any other guided trip, we`ve been informed on how actually they`ve got the name and a lil bit of historical infos were given on our way to the top. When i first stepped on top of the mountain, i was so thrilled cause it was freaking cold and i think i`m in love! I am starting to like the environment in Bandung.

Caption: After breakfast before leaving for Tangkuban :)

The most inspiring things about Bandung people, i`m not sure about other Indonesians but as far as i can see is that for small traders, they tend to sell their goods at bargain-able price. You can asked for at least half a price lower if you`re interested to buy any of their goods.

Caption: So can you guys tell me whats behind us? ;)

Well thats the volcano! yeah, i aint kidding. It is. An active one, still. Can you imagine that? How those people in that area survive? They made handicrafts, arts, making necklace from stones, things like that. Which were hardly found in Malaysia, but in Indonesia, they have it all like anything is possible. Why? Because they are survivors. They survive to live. A lot, i meant.

I guess thats all for now yeah. Gosh! it takes me almost a week to complete this entry. I know this wouldnt be the best sketch from me, call it crap but these are all comes from my soul. Suddenly i lost my mood to keep writing ;( Too bad.

p/s: I might be selecting few stories on Bandung later in my next entries. Hope i wont forget. Gtg, really wish i could publish this! So long people xoxoxoxo!!

Trust None. Frust Never. But Sweet Forever :)

2011-01-14T19:17:00.000-08:00

Assalamualaikum. Hi semua!

"Hai anakku, janganlah kamu mempersekutukan (Allah) sesungguhnya mempersekutukan (Allah) adalah benar-benar kezaliman yang besar". QS. Lukman: 13

***

okay entry kali ni tak boleh lama, sebab i`m off to LCCT in 2 hours time. There are so many things happened yesterday. We (the gals and me, including garret) as usual we went to Kajang as i`m so keen to watch this newborn baby of Syamsul Yusof. An energetic young and talented actor + director that is "Khurafat". My first impression was like this is totally a horror film in the sense of "really" horror and i aint joking. I had never put my foot next to person next to me when i watched Jangan Pandang Belakang last time, but yesterday it was the first time i felt terrified as if the ghost will crawl out of the screen and pull my foot.Yeah, technology has becoming more advanced, and this was what should have been expected from SKOP PRODUCTION. An evolution of the ghost appearance, even the character of the ghost (Satan). Its so alive! Well for those who wanted a review for this film, i would say it`ll worth your RM10. For me, what is there for RM10. Life is never all about money. There are loads of thing we still have to learn.

BTW, this is my current status on fb " Tema seperti kebanyakkan filem seram lain, skrip biasabiasa namun tak terduga, plot dan jalan cerita yang realistik. Pemilihan pelakon yg baik (at least a good attempt for Liyana Jasmay). Adunan yg mencantikkan khurafat. Bukan sahaja pada filem itu, tapi pada indahnya manusia menginsafi diri di sisi-Nya ;) Listen the song, open your heart and mind :) wallahualam"~

uols tgk sndri la kat link ni ek... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_jGY_tRJj0

nak upload tp lmbt nau bufferingnye.. :))

p/s: tajuk entry hanya org tertentu akan faham :)stay strong people!ok now. Mandi, lunch, off to LCCT. Wish me safe jurney people! hugs! XX ;)

be warned, this isnt a joke :P

54) Aku bersyukur sebab aku tetap aku yang dulu tak kira siapa atau di mana pun kite berpijak

LAST BUT NOT LEAST

55) Aku bersyukur.........Sebab aku masih bernafas tatkala entry ni siap dipublish. Tu aku kira nikmat Allah yang paling besar buat insan kerdil cam aku ni.

Idea senarai kesyukuran ni datang dari blogger famous Hanis Zalikha (HZ), thanks to her.

Assalamualaikum~

Hello everyone!

Its new year baby!

I am now sitting in front of my lappy in my room waiting to do my laundry. So, like i`ve promised, today`s entry will be about courses that i`ve taken for this semester. First, is "Semantic in Journalism". What is semantic? Well it is basically something to deal with language and meaning. I am not so into journalism right now but still i think its very good subject to be taught of as to become a good communicator, one have to be able to understand the meaning of certain thing cause people might view it differently. Next is "Commentary and Opinion Writing in Media". My first impression about this course is that it will guide me to write well and be able to critics or comment on issues that is related to the mass media. Plus it somehow provides me with better understanding on how to be a good writer and the same time being knowledgeable on whats happening around us.

Thirdly, is "Mass Media Organisation Management". Oh i love this class. Perhaps the lecturer inspires me a lot. In this class we have our own dress code that we need to obey. It is all about being organized when we`re working in corporate line and it encourage us to be confident as an executive soon to be. Or even to become CEO one day. So every Tuesday we could have/MUST wear a corporate attire which i like it, 70% of the time. I believe that attire to class is as vital to a person to make them feel good and highly motivated.

Here comes to the crucial part of my courses for this semester. We have Statistic, that i dislike 110%! Yeah, admit it. I am not a numerical person. I hate numbers. BUT, i have to bear with is for another 4 months cause according to the lecturer, most of the previous students they hardly scored in this subject, so i am taking this as a challenge and i know i can do it if i think so and work hard to strive for it! Another killer paper is "Publication Aesthetic Performance and Management". (Peh, dgr name pn da gempak,haha!) Well this course actually is the continuum of my previous production in BJ. If you guys still remember. I blogged about my last sem courses before. And here it goes again. Another production consists of 40% (banyak okeh!) and we ought to produce a MCP (Multiple Camera Production). Lemme give a brief about this MCP. Its like when you people watched talkshow or gameshow they always have their camera moved up and down, tilt from left to right things like that. So, thats the rough idea of it. There would be another technical arrangement, handling those editing machine, stay up till 3am (which my lecturer said its normal for people in the industry *pengsan*) LOL. haha

Ok move on to another 3 subjects are "Media Entrepreneurship" which i almost started to like it cause it is more likely something that i`ve learned during my diploma which was "Principles of Marketing" and i kinda like it. Plus i also have a target to become a successful entrepreneur by the age of 30, insyaAllah. Finally, "Translation of Text in Mass Media" and "Women from Islamic Perspective" are two optional courses and we havent started the class yet. Hopefully by next week (WEEK3) the lecturers will be in and.....fuhhh thats it! Yeayyy! i managed to keep my promise to post about my courses for this semester, hehe. Till then.

p/s: A wise lecturer of mine once said, go blogging. Show your true colors. Write your opinions and anything that is relevant to this field, or in fact go beyond that. Words can be sometime sharper than knife! (Ok yang ini klise) hehe. So, here i am, with new spirit of 2011, i officially begin the soul canvas of mine with this entry ;)

Coming up next, wish list and thankful/gratitude list! Stay tuned! ;)

Welcome 2011

Assalamualaikum!

Fuhh..fuhhh...tiuptiup sawang dulu. Haishhhhh.....Berkurun tak hapdet. Sungguhlah busynya tak terkata. Ok aku tipu. Actually memang ngaku malas gila nak update. Kadang sampai terfikir nak cancel account je. Tapi bila pk2 balik, maybe its just a challenge for me to keep writing. When people didnt comment on your blog, that doesnt mean they dont read aite? So, let just get thing straight. I will keep on writing whatever i feels in this soul canvas of mine. Because at the end of the journey, its me whom will value and cherish all the joy and pain. And not forgetting you readers too! Thanks for making me feel good even you only appear behind the screen!

Ok2 so first thing first. Aku tulis entry ni sehari sebelum kalendar kat atas meja study (motipp nak highlight study?) aku ni bertambah satu angka lagi kat hujung dia that is 2011. Whats with it? Seriously what so important of the number? Is it crucial matter for you people?

Dah korang takyah nak sibuksibuk pk, disebabkan ni blog aku so biar aku yang kasik jawapan, hehe. Actually tadelah, meh sini aku explain about 2011 from the viewpoint of mine. To me, 2011 is not only about making notes on your calendar about whats your planning over the year but its far way than that. Its obviously about paradigm shift of a person towards a better way of life. Better according to my own explanation is thing that you will improve everyday to make your living worth the effort.

These includes all sorts of aspects that are studies, financial, health, relationship with everyone. Your besties, your friends, and not forgetting the love of your life. What i am saying here exactly is hoping that my new year will be bless with many good things ahead. Oh btw, i am gonna turn 23 next year which is few months left. Yeah, for a 22 going to 23 year old girl, i should be thankful to Allah Almighty for giving me such a wonderful moments to spend and blessed with awesome peoples around me. Alhamdulillah.

So, here we go. There are several to-do list things linger in my mind right now. Well as everyone aware that each of us must have own resolutions that not only occurs when new year approaches, but we should have at least aim for something big and extraordinary cause i believe life is how you wanna make it memorable. It doesnt have to be always good but believe me, the bitter your life is the more you learnt on how to becoming a wise human being.

Just in case i forgot, please do remind me on entry about courses that i`ve taken for this semester. My expectation was this semester will gonna be hectic! (As if i am Mr President!) ;P All the assessments with all the production thingy will somehow push me to the wall till i breathe silently. Its to the max baby. You got me aite? ;)

So, guess i`ll end this entry now. Thanks cause bear with me with all those craps of mine. LOL! Will come out with more generous entry soon. Take care buddy!

p/s: Well aku ade azam baru tau. Nak tau apa dia? Stay tuned with me! cheers peep! :D

Havent i told you people these lovebirds are my darling couple? I did? Oh no, i am telling you again and again! pathetic me! oopss~ hahaha ;) xoxo! bye~
