Drama yang mengajar

2011-12-07T05:32:00.004Z

I am now watching Korean drama, The Greatest Love secara streaming. Lambat betul QOTPHBNKATZXCV nak tunggu dia buffering. Dah lah tengah konflik gila air kopi tumpah atas baju heroin just before dia naik pentas untuk majlis award entahnamaapa. Okay takpe sabar. Yang penting, ending dia mesti happy ending.

Pelik kan? Dah tau happy ending pun still nak susah hati bila air kopi tu tumpah atas baju dia. Mengecam habis-habisan plak tu watak yang tumpahkan air kopi. Adalah tu sebab kenapa orang jahat tu tumpahkan nanti that will benefit her later. Hero datang bawak baju lain ke, orang akan kata tu corak yang very in-trend ke pastu dia jadi trendsetter ke. Mesti macam tu punya. In the end, everything is gonna be alright.

Likewise dalam dunia nyata. However hard a hardship is, it too shall pass. Tapi kita still tak sedar diri marah-marah, kutuk-kutuk sikit orang yang menyebabkan kesusahan tu lalu menangis berlinangan air mata. Tak sedar padahal orang jahat tu buat macam tu last-last dia yang rugi nanti. Confirm punya. Alah... macam dalam drama! Kita punya melancholy sama je sebenarnya taraf dengan heroin cerita Korea. Beria-ria menangis padahal esok okay-okay saja. In fact, tomorrow might be a better day solely because of the shit that happens today. Pernah tak jadi macam tu selama __ tahun hidup ni? (Isi tempat kosong dengan nombor yang benar).

If only we can take a peek of what happens in our life in the future, macam kita main tipu terus tengok episode 16 (finale) sekejap lepas susah hati tengok mak mertua sogok dengan duit/hero hilang ingatan/bapak mertua salah faham lalu menentang perkahwinan dan konflik yang sewaktu dengannya dalam episode 8. Yes, if you were a hardcore, you will know that Korean drama usually ada 16 episodes with episode 8 bermulalah segala salah faham dan derita nestapa.

Or kalau kita baca buku kita terus skip dekat muka surat akhir sebab nak tau dulu ending macam mana just to you know, have a happy thought bearing in mind time-time menangis teresak-esak sebab hero/adik hero/heroin/adik heroin didiagnose ada cancer. Terminal cancer. Nasib baik hero tak mati last-last sebab rupa-rupanya doktor tersalah chart. Cheh. Jangan buang air mata sangat menangis time tengah-tengah.

So, dear readers, bila berhadapan dengan kesukaran, hadapi ia dengan senyuman. Shit happens but it too, shall pass. Afterall, Allah menguji hamba-Nya yang dia sayang kan? Kalau dalam drama pun, yang diuji mesti hero/heroin. Mana ada tiba-tiba watak picisan makcik heroin punya jiran tiba-tiba jatuh muflis? So, takkanlah kita nak jadi watak picisan dalam hidup kita tanpa ujian kan? Jadilah hero/heroin dalam hidup anda. Anda mampu mengubahnya. Eceh.

Hadapi ujian dengan senyuman. Do your best and lets Allah takes care of the rest. InsyaAllah, everything will be fine. Ujian yang dihadapi dengan penuh effort dan ketakwaan akan memberi happy ending macam dalam novel/drama Korea.

Believe that :)

Hadapi dengan senyuman,
semua yang terjadi, biar terjadi
Hadapi, dengan tenang jiwa,
semua, ‘kan baik baik saja -Dewa (Dewa penyanyi bukan dewa Wukong)

A sweet, simple reminder in facing the asam garam of life

Of Gratefulness and Positive Thinking

2011-09-20T10:24:00.004+01:00

Ayah hit a cat yesterday. Tiga Warna (yes, it's a name!) or Kansai as Ummar creatively called her, injured badly. He feels really guilty about it hence keep insisting us to take excellent care of the patient. As fond as I am with cats, I think that it is just not fair. It almost like a hit-and-run, really. He hit it and we have to take care of it (without any help whatsoever from him).

But it could be worse, couldn't it? I should be grateful for that, at least.

Things I would enjoy less than feeding a sick cat:

1. feeding a sick hen (I am a chicken where fowl is concerned)
2. feeding a sick cobra
3. feeding a cobra (even one in the pink of health!)

p/s: By hitting, I mean that he accidentally hit the cat with his car. Don't get the wrong idea and called up the animal-lovers-hotline whatsoever to put him into prison. Yup, you can go into prison for hitting cats. Have you read? Serve them right! (Opss, sorry! Can't help being emotional about it)

Vlogging is not something new to us. nehi no no no nononono.

Mat Lutfi. Siapa tak kenal dia angkat tangan?

*tsk tsk tsk. turunkan tangan balik.turunkan tangan balik.turunkan tangan balik sementara takde orang nampak ni!!!! issyy buat malu je! apa nama kampung ni? klik link ni cepat*

Mat Lutfi is wonderful! He reminds us of the simple things in life cutely. You just couldn't help but laugh at his short, simple, sweet, honest, innocent homemade videos, recorded with tender love and gentle care (okay banyak sangat adjective. annoying much)

And speaking of Mat Lutfi. Another Malaysians Vloggers that is worth mentioning is Anwar Hadi. Personally for me, it is a near draw between him(Anwar Hadi) and him(Mat Lutfi). Anwar Hadi is leading a biiiittttt (a teeny, tiny bit) in this competitive race to win my heart. *muntah*

Back to the story morning glory, I am awed to see how this talented young people use their talent to make the world a better place to live in. Kalau awak ada bakat, you got to use it! SHARE! You can make a difference. Organising a 7 days 6 nights charity event might be a pain in the *** for you, especially kalau awak owh-so-sibuk-OMGTAKDEMASA, but be creative (contoh macam the two darlings that I mentioned earlier). Kalau anda tiada nilai estetika pada rupa dan tidak yakin untuk vlogging kerana camera-shy, tiada duit untuk beli camera etc etc etc takpe, takpe. saya faham. yang berjaya mencari jalan, yang gagal mencari alasan (chewah, bidas orang laju je!).

p/s: please, untuk si kacak jelita anggun bergaya cerdas pandai dinamik di luar sana, please vlog meaningful short video YANG BERMESEJ please please? YouTube is a better place with people like you, you and you. Ramai kot orang menanti-nanti the next top Anwar Hadi! (I know I will!)

Occupation: Domestic Engineer

2011-07-13T06:49:00.003+01:00

After going on hiatus for so long, I AM BACK!

Being unemployed is hard. Very, very hard. First and foremost: yup, the $$$$ matters. Buying supermarket house brand? Guilty -.-

And then, not to forget about all the forms that we need to fill here and there. You know, for WiFi, contests, or simply for your network service provider. What should we write on the occupation section? Someone, help! Simply filling it with the very-safe-occupation i.e. Student will only bring very long and thorough discussions on my unemployed state with the akak/abang information counter about KPLI, KPM, posting, scholarship, difference between BSc and B.Ed degree, the United Kingdom etc etc.

Owh however, being unemployed has its own advantage too. I have improvise my domestic skills to a new level *angkat kening* For example, I can now differentiate between ikan kerisi and ikan kerapu (don't laugh. Ikans do really confused me!). Also, I learnt the skim-and-scan technique for price tags, ingredients and nett volume before actually do my grocery shopping in the market. Not to forget, the all-housewives-favourite-reading-material: Supermarket catalogue! Owh I can spend hoursss reading that! *starry eyes*

Being a domestic engineer in Kuantan, it is in my job scope to fetch Ummairah from school. And Ummairah needs to be fetched exactly in front of the school's back gate (nope, she along with 349,878 students in SABS do not do the short-distance walk that will save me from the azab duniawi called traffic-jam). There is no doubt that Kempen Berkongsi Kereta was inspired by the chaos of parents dropping/fetching their kids. Why, even neighbours going out at the same time in their own cars to fetch their kids who are classmates QWPEFXVGBPTLAZZXC!

While sipping my cuppa coffee early in the morning,

I can't help

but

missing my ex-students in SBPI Kubang Pasu.

Cheeky to the extreme, but obedient all the same :))

4 Islah, 4 Ihsan and 1 Ikram. My irreplaceable first students... Be the best version of yourself!

Aktiviti Cuti

2011-03-16T13:47:00.001Z

Currently addicted to this:

Pizza Frenzy

Sampai berebut nak main games dekat computer dengan adik-adik sebab benda ni.

Cuti is a bliss! Alhamdulillah.

God's Cookie Cutter

2011-02-10T06:46:00.000Z

Kan bagus kalau kita boleh patternkan orang macam cookie cutter does on cookie dough? We can make them to be a star, heart, snowman etc etc. However, life is not like that.

Our cookie cutter is not meant to mold people. God knows best. Allah really knows best. Indeed, God's cookie cutter is the best.

Allah please make this easy for me, for us all. Ameen.

Songs that keep me going and Khairul Fahmi

2010-12-30T02:51:00.013Z

Disclaimer:

ada orang salah baca tajuk di atas jadi

"Songs that keep me and Khairul Fahmi going".

Okaaaaaaaay, baca elok-elok semula yea kawan-kawan!

Korang ada tak lagu yang bila kita dengar kita akan macam, "OWH I CAN GET THROUGH THIS! YES, I CAN! Hello world, here I come!" terus daripada rasa down melepek atas katil, bangun berdiri dengan semangatnya. Lagu that can help you gear up and move on. Ada tak ada tak?*besarkan mata macam dalam manga jepun*

Well, I do. Everytime I dengar lagu So What by Pink I akan macam bersemangat gila siap duet lagi dengan Pink (yeah, anda boleh kalau nak bayangkan sekarang. Saya benarkan). Honestly speaking, Pink is my guilty little secret. I mean, come on! I tak memandang rendah pada Pink (never!), tapi her music is not really my type. I am particularly attached to the song because of the lyrics and the positivity of her voice (can you hear positivity from a voice? Owh yes, now you can!). So much troubleS with capital S there and yet so positive of an attitude! *thumbs up*

I guess I just lost my husband

I dunno where he went

...etc etc...

Ehem. Having said that, I terpaksa bela diri dan kata not that I rasa solution dia untuk selesaikan masalah via drinking and hooking up with the drum boy will solve anything. Para pembaca bijak bestari mesti tau where to draw the line, kan?

Besides my shocking revelation of my guilty little secret (yea right. Shockinglah sangat), Bon Jovi's It's My Life and Coldplay's Fix You are my classic favourite during the down down down*nyanyi to the tune of Justin Bieber's Baby* time.

I remember in IPDA, Fix You is me and Amni's theme song. We will play it on repeat and singing to it while doing our oh so fun piles of assignment. Edcoustic's Menjadi Diriku is another theme song of ours that we will listen to almost every morning. (But that's another story. And no, I don't think we have a problem with our self-esteem, right Amni?) *brave war-painted face*

Also, I remembered me and Aishah Salim (my housemate back in Sheffield) punya lagu tema. It's Lagu Kita by Aizat. Hahahaha. Fun times! We will be stopping everything that we do (macam national anthem!) and sing our heart out whenever Lagu Kita berkumandang dekat speaker Aishah. I remember us wondering whether the neighbours and the passerby might here us. Lagu Kita is so unrelated to our life that we feel the need untuk melantik ia sebagai lagu rasmi :')

I also find Lenka's The Show cutely inspiring, In fact, it has been my ringtone since I was in Sheffield lagi. Of equal importance is The Climb by Miley Cyrus and Hero by Mariah Carey. And owh, Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson. Can't say no to that!

I guess, having a theme song is like having a handy motivational shot. Power shot yang sekejap tetapi efektif. Kalau tengah nervous before a presentation or tengah berkung fu siapkan assignment, we know that we can get through this.

On the other hand, congratulations Malaysia! Agak kurang gembira (bukan sedih) sebab semalam 2-1 (macam tak best menang macam ni), tapi wth yang penting Malaysia menang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *cheerleader's attire, anyone?* I dah faham dengan demam Khairul Fahmi Che mat yang melanda Malaysia. He is indeed awesome! (He and the whole Malaysia team, of course). Thank you, Khairul Fahmi for saving the penalty. Now, I tau penalti bergantung solely pada si pengambil, tapi maybe Khairul Fahmi's presence might had something to do with it, psychologically, no? ;)

So, what's your theme song?

p.s: Khairul Fahmi handsome? Naaah, he's alright I guess, but not my type.

p.s p.s: I am not a fan of Justin Bieber! *shaking head violently*

The Cheapskate Guide to Frugal Living #2

2010-12-25T07:11:00.003Z

Do not follow the mainstream. Go indie!

Instead of buying Milo for hot drinks, go for Vico. Or Ovaltine if you are more adventurous. Honestly speaking, Yours Truly is not a fan of Ovaltine. It is just merely acceptable according to her scale.

However, do note the difference between going indie and supporting piracy.

Going indie means instead of Milo, you opt for Vico. On the other hand, supporting piracy means instead of Milo, you opt for Wilo (or Melo or Nilo -.-). Kitew tak mahu iteuwww.

p/s: Hapuskan lanun cetak rompak. Belilah yang original! :)

The Cheapskate Guide to Frugal Living

2010-12-13T03:01:00.009Z

With Ummar in the house, masa masak dan makan adalah among the highlighted events in our daily routine. Entahlah doa apa yang adik seorang itu baca, whenever he's around makanan akan menjadi bertambah sedap. Seriously. Makan pun akan jadi nak tambah je siap dengan dessert bagai. Mungkin dia berfungsi macam serbuk 'Cukup Rasa' perhaps? *Katakan hello kepada jeans bersaiz pinggang lebih besar!*

Stumbled upon this. Recipe untuk buat ice-cream yang sedap gila tahap makan satu tub in one go. Dua kali buat, dua kali habis terus tak sempat pun nak ambil gambar. Siap kali kedua buat tu, tak sempat nak bekukan semula pun. Hehehe. Worth a try kalau kita suka fancy ice-cream macam Baskin-Robbins tapi tak dapat nak indulge diri sendiri due to keazaman baru iaitu to live frugally and pinch pennies.

I even sub the Oreo cookies with Cream-O by Jack and Jill. Look alike oreo dengan harga yang waaay cheaper! Isn't it obvious what a penny-pincher I am dewasa ini? ;) Pecan nut di sub dengan cashew nut yang memang ada di rumah mak beli souvenir dari Kelantan. Makan ice-cream ni dengan pisang emas yang sepatutnya ayah minta tolong buat cekodok. Feel-feel banana split gitu. Owh and ice-cream vanila yang digunakan dibeli di Tunas Manja (a bit macam hypermarket tapi taraf sangat bawah dari Giant) dengan harga RM3 untuk 1.5L. Yes, jimat jimat jimat! *kipas diri dengan duit RM1 banyak banyak banyak*

Anyway, I am back to baking jugak cuti ni. Ramai helpers dekat rumah and plus, my mom dah 3 kali minta cake. I am quite reluctant to bake her a cake because she likes her cake to taste plain but with lots of colourings and no toppings.

Mama ate half of this cake in one go.

She likes basic butter cake so much IF cake tu ada swirls of colours. She doesn't even enjoy marble cake because for her, that is still dull (for a cake) -.-! Ayah pun suka basic butter cake (with or without colourings but still, no toppings). Even chocolate moist cake pun dah terlalu fancy for their taste buds. Kirim salam, corner kiri je lah yea kalau setakat nak hadiahkan mereka Secret Recipe tu. Sungguh tak mencabar kreativiti seorang cake baker kan?

Kemahiran Hidup

2010-12-04T10:49:00.004Z

Currently, I am stressing out about the workloads that need to be done over the break. Stress out pun tapi tak buat, takde maknanya kan? Owh well. I promise I will TRY to start doing my work someday. Yes, definitely someday. *sambil munch Chipsmore*

Anyway, I am busy making another baju kurung for myself. Yes, you heard it right. Yours truly is finally doing something productive at home. What with the harga minyak naik and all, you gotta be kidding kalau you kata you just sit back and relax. Mahal lah upah jahit baju kurung sekarang. And as a future educator, mestilah I need at least 50 pasang of baju kurung, right right?(Ahaaa kidding! But........ you'll never know for sure kan? :P)

But then again, with a know-it-all as a mom, I do feel the need to learn and master at least half of the skills. Or as ayah fondly called them, kemahiran hidup (i.e. living skills -_-). Mama begitu mahir menjahit. That old, faithful mesin jahit that I currently use pun belong to her. Lama jugak lah tapinya masa yang diambil for me to learn sewing my own baju kurung daripada mama. Sempat lah merajuk malas 2,3 kali dulu. Hehehe.

Where am I again? Owh harga minyak naik. I am not trying to be an ungrateful brat here, but do tell, why is it so again? And don't give me that 'harga minyak yang dinaikkan dapat menjimatkan berpuluh-puluh million subsidi kerajaan', lame excuse. Lame, lame excuse. Jom daftar mengundi!

Very low, indeed :(

2010-11-27T01:31:00.004Z

My mom's handbag was snatched today. Poor her. Thank God she's alright. Fortunately,she was left with her phone and car keys. It could be worse, right? Alhamdulillah, nothing bad happened. It is not the sweetest week for the lots of us here. Yesterday, Persona need to be hospitalised. I don't really know what happened, her engine just died. Leave it to the professionals. That's what the mechanics are there for.

As you can imagine, the house is currently chaotic at it worst. To top it all, me and my dad have been having a slight argument. I just can't stand

it when people give up without even trying. We will never know until we try, remember? All the nagging and his pessimistic view of the world awaken the rebellious side of me. And then, one thing led to another. The next thing I know, I object everything he did. *sigh* I know I'm bad, don't judge :(

On a different note, my friends got married to each other! I present to you, Burn and Yaya.

Semoga berkekalan hingga ke anak cucu cicit piang piot uols!

Also, I had been stalking my friends blogs and facebook lately. Yes, you heard it right. With the faster and more kecindan internet in Kuantan, the cyberstalker is back. Anyway, while bloghopping, I just can't help but noticed that my friends are grown-ups now. Grown-ups in the sense of earning $$$ on their own, wearing make-up, having nice clothes, bags and shoes and some even live separately from their family! Is it just me or do I sound like a bimbo here? *shudder* Congratulations to the lot of you! I am green with envy. Cannot wait for my turn next year! :D (Yeah, don't give me the 'work sucks', 'enjoy your college life while you can' and all the pep talk, it just isn't working. Not anymore. I guess I need to experience the working environment myself, first hand *shrug*)

2010-10-18T08:56:00.005+01:00

Yours Truly has an unexpected afternoon off today*grin*

Went to the library just now to borrow books. I won't be talking about the system there, fret not dear readers, as I am sure it will spoil your day listening to me ranting and condemning.

However, the library is mostly impressive. I'm loving it!

But then again, I have realised it for some time now, I do have a tendre for libraries. And bookstores. (Nerdy, i know!) :P

Yes, it is just a short update. Konon-kononnya untuk menebus kesalahan tidak mengupdate blog dengan jitu di IPDA.

(I know you will accept my sincerest apology... and my random rambles!)

Adios!

2010-10-01T16:18:00.003+01:00

I am surrounded by extraordinary people who never fail to cheer me up every single day. Strong, diligent people who never fail to perform beyond expectations.

Alhamdulillah, I am truly blessed.

Life is good :)

As requested by Kak Ida

2010-07-24T09:29:00.004+01:00

I baked some brownies for the ZOO charity during the last Sheffield Games. Kak Ida (Norida Minhat) definitely loves it and asked for the recipe. Because of the chaos back then, I totally forgot all about it. Sorry kak ida :)

Now, here is the recipe:

Gooey, Fudgy Chocolate Brownies

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (1 cup/8 ounces/226g) unsalted butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 large eggs

Instructions:
Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 C).

Sift the flour and salt together and set aside.

Melt the butter and chocolate together in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently and keeping a watchful eye on the pot to make certain the chocolate doesn't scorch. (Alternatively, you can melt the ingredients in the dop of a double boiler over, not touching, simmering water.) Add 1 cup of the sugar to the mixture and stir for half a minute, then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour the mixture in a large bowl.

Put the remaining 1 cup sugar and eggs into the bowl of a mixer (or a mixing bowl if you're using a hand-held mixer) and whisk by hand just to combine. Little by little, pour half of the sugar and eggs into the chocolate mixture, stirring gently but constantly with a rubber spatula so the eggs don't set from the heat. Fit the whisk attachment to the mixer and whip the remaining sugar and eggs until they are thick, pale, and doubled in volume, about 3 minutes. Using the rubber spatula, delicately fold the whipped eggs into the chocolate mixture. When the eggs are almost completely incorporated, gently fold in dry ingredients.

Cooking Instructions
Pour and scrape the batter into an unbuttered 9-inch square pan. Bake the brownies for 25 to 28 minutes, during which time they will rise a little and the top will turn dark and dry. Cut into the center at about the 23-minute mark to see how the brownies are progressing They'll be perfect if they're just barely set and still pretty gooey. They're still awfully good on the other side of set, so don't worry if you miss the moment on your first try. Cool the brownies in the pan on a rack. Cut into 1 1/2 by 3-inch bars to serve.

The brownies will keep, covered, for 2 to 3 days at room temperature and can be frozen for up to a month. Thaw, still wrapped, at room temperature. These never freeze solid, so you might want to think about using them as a mix-in for ice cream.

Recipe: taken from Diana's Desserts (typical baker kan? hehe)

Memang sedap yang tahap totally worth it! Tho the texture might not be cakey like the normal brownies, tapi memang superb!

Selamat mencuba!

Done with Europe. Boleh tick-off from my to-do list :)

Among the countries that I visited, I found myself falling head over heels in love with Austria. There is definitely something about it. Saya akan pergi lagi, insyaAllah! My second favourite will be Switzerland. Dengan orang-orang Swiss yang very gentle and warm, and not to mention moderately pandai English language, what not to love about them?

On the other hand, Italy is still Italy. Renewing my love-hate relationship with it. The bittersweet history repeated itself. Enough said.

I met a lot of wonderful people along the journey. My 15 days of travelling were filled with warm and friendly companions. Alhamdulillah.

Anyhow, saya mengalami financial issue sekarang sampai layak jadi penerima zakat. Sedang bekerja ke arah masa hadapan yang lebih cerah. Sebarang sumbangan dalam bentuk cheque/cash/direct debit amatlah dihargai. Hulurkan tangan, ringankan beban.

p/s: urusniaga in GB Pounds pls ;)

Sharing is caring is what they say

2010-06-16T11:59:00.013+01:00

Went to this talk by two of the survivors of Mavi Marmara, Osamah and Alex. In my humble opinion, their gallantry deserved a standing ovation. Okay maybe tak kot, bukan setakat tu. Mungkin kena berdiri atas kerusi, tepuk tangan kuat-kuat. But you know what I mean.

The attack started right after the morning prayer.

Owh selingan iklan sekejap. Sila email BBC Radio Sheffield to thank and congratulate them for voicing out their condemn on the attack of Mavi Marmara. I tak dengar BBC Radio Sheffield, so shamefully admitted I tak tahu menahu pun tentang ni. However, according to the trustworthy sources (i.e. the people in the meeting), the radio station strongly agree that the attack is a form of piracy albeit the fact that the whole lot of BBC saying otherwise. Mari kita send an email of encouragement kepada mereka. Kata yang baik dipuji, yang buruk dikeji kan? Mereka boleh dihubungi di sini: radio.sheffield@bbc.co.uk

OK berbalik kepada isu sebentar tadi. According to the speaker, the news report was actually true to some extent. They did attack the Israeli comrade using chairs, pipes and anything within the arm length. But in their defense, it is an act of self-defense. They need to stop the comrade from boarded the ship. No, not boarded. Maybe more precisely, intercepted the ship. Kenapa nak halang? Sebab tu kapal mereka!

There were 3 helicopters hovering over the ship even before the act of self-defense lagi. And bila the attack from the bottom of the ship tak berjaya, askar-askar Israel from the helicopters started turun. Siap pakai mask, armed with three guns to provoke the volunteers on board! You know like in one of the action-packed movie

yang orang turun using tali from helicopters tu. Yang lainnya is that this is reality! It really happened bukannya ada pengarah tiba-tiba jerit 'CUT', dengan make-up artist dah tunggu kat tepi untuk touch-up.

Kenapa kisah sangat semua orang dok cakap pasal Flotilla ni? Is it really a big deal? Mati tu biasalah, perang kot. Death is inevitable.

Sebab kita tak nak the volunteers to die in vain. With every volunteer to go on board, supposedly kena ada 100 of supporters to be behind him/her. So that if anything goes wrong, kita boleh do something about it. Bukan ke memang dalam Islam pun kematian itu satu pengajaran pada orang sekeliling?

Anyway, among the things yang really touched me was the fact that Osamah memangku one of his friend being shot. And he felt something warm on his hand yang diletakkan dekat belakang kepala kawan dia. Teka apa tu?

Almost. It was his brain, oozing out from his head. Freaking out is an understatement. Bayangkan perasaan anda if you are Osamah. Enough said.

Banyak lagi kot babak-babak sadis yang diceritakan, yang kalau semua nak cerita kat sini mungkin kena menaip sampai esok. Contact me personally, I akan mencuba yang terbaik untuk bercerita. Despite me being an average writer, I am quite good with story-telling! *angkat bakul*

And, satu lagi, waktu Q&A session, ada this guy tanya kenapa ramai Turkish yang terbunuh.

Is it because the Turkish being singled-out and killed?

But, according to Alex, it was because the Turkish memang jaga gils the welfare of the international volunteers ni. Mereka suruh all of the international people ni to stay dekat bilik rawatan and taking care of the injured victims and soldiers(yes, they gave aid to the Israeli soldiers as well!), and the Turkish yang keluar. It was because they said that they are the host and the other people were their guests. So the responsibility was theirs. How noble! Having been to Turkey, I can somewhat relate to this. Memang the Turkish are very warm and welcoming kot. Siap jemput datang rumah, suruh panggil Baba and Anni lah. They went to great extent in extending their hospitality. Tahniah Turki! Apa eyh cara tarbiyah yang diterima sampai sangat beradab camni.

Do you know why the attack is called a form of piracy?

Kalau dah tahu, tahniah. Boleh balik sekarang.

It is because there is Gaza, and then perairan Gaza and then terus International water. Takde sekelumit pun perairan Israel berada dalam gambar rajah. Maka apa yang Israel cuba pertahankan? They are the pirates yang menceroboh perairan! OK susah kan nak bayang? Yes, I am no good in describing.

Okay, lukisan buruk guna Paint bukan pointnya di sini. Tengok dalam gambar rajah. Takde kaitan dengan Israel pun kan? Tak menceroboh perairan pun kan? Sifat empathy mereka ni overdose agaknya. Orang takde menceroboh tempat dia, awak yang lebih-lebih kenapa? Tak cool langsung!

All in all, Osamah with his booming voice and bold spirit sangat uplifting kot.

And Alex, being very motherly and soft-spoken proven that everyone can help in any way imaginable.

I may not be the best person to tell a tale, but berpegang kepada konsep 'knowledge grows when it is shared', I rest my case.

Alhamdulillah. Done.

2010-06-05T14:46:00.003+01:00

Done with the exam! :) :) :) :) :)

(Okay senyum dah cukup banyak kot untuk beritahu orang yang awak gembira).

Anyway, I just nak share a tip to stay sane and healthy during this heart-wrenching and mind-numbing exam period ni. I observed quite a lot of people yang consumed a large amount of caffeinated drinks trying to stay awake for longer hours and bagai untuk study.

I do understand the need of "owh bestnya lah kalau aku tak payah tido!" and all that thoughts tapi percayalah, your body needs the rest for the following day pulak. And I really can't see the point of drinking so much caffeine in a short period of time macam tu. As far as I'm concerned, caffeine is a stimulant yang produce theobromine. Theobromine will increase your urine volume, dilate your blood vessel and affect the central nervous system. It is true to some extent that caffeine will help you stay awake, but it won't remove the tiredness in you.

In a way, itu tak ke macam "okay saya dah tak mengantuk sekarang, tapi otak macam dah tepu", the feeling yang kita selaaaalu sangat rasa with or without coffee pun?

So what to do? Itu lah. Saya selalu akan cadangkan orang untuk ambil supplement Vitamin B kalau dia selalu mengadu penat. Or makan pisang.

Perasan tak kalau athlete kan bila dia dah penat-penat main time take 5 tu dia akan makan pisang? Takde pulak dia pergi tepi court minum a cuppa coffee kan? Kenapa? Pisang is very rich in potassium. Potassium ni in simpler word help in getting oxygen to the brain. Kiranya dia physically and mentally stimulates you. Itu much simpler version of an explanation lah in chemical sense. Kalau you jawab dalam exam macam tu, mungkin lah dapat 1mark untuk effort bazirkan pen tulis satu ayat tu. Tu kalau I cikgunya lah ;)

Kenapa I macam dietitian? Kan, I pun rasa. Owh well, orang dah habis exam memang macam ni. Sibuk nak habiskan 50secs orang lain untuk baca blog dia ;P

Semua orang sayang mak

2010-05-29T21:51:00.005+01:00

Boleh tak nak update sekejap, please?

Okay hidup sangat hectic sekarang di kala mana sepatutnya revising, tapi baru terkedek-kedek nak study. Macam tu lah. 2 down, 2 to go! hnf hnf hnf*hyperventilating*

Anyway, tadi ada makcik kutip sampah kat IC. Dia baik sangat. Dia akan datang 2,3 kali sepanjang shift dia untuk kutip sampah atas meja2 students ni. Dia akan datang sambil senyum and clearkan meja semua orang yang macam kalau tikus beranak pun tak jumpa baby dia tu tahap sepahnya.

Dia datang diam-diam sebab takut ganggu orang tengah study kutip kulit pisang, sweet wrappers, used papers semua atas meja I sambil senyum kata "Here you go, love".

She reminds me of my mother.

And I love her, terus. Hari-hari I tunggu dia datang. Kalau orang lain datang I kecewa.

Serius dia macam mak. Tak, tak, dia bulat. Mak kurus tinggi. Tapi dia cakap macam mak, (tapi mama cakap melayu, macam mana tu?). Dia bersihkan meja macam mak.Kalau dia tolong buatkan milo sambil tengah study tu, mesti lagi macam mama kan?

Mama, nak milo!!! taknak gula, susu guna HL pls. Apa ayah dah abiskan? Ayah, sila ganti balik! Kakak nak HL jugak.

rindunyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa rumah walaupun makanan orang selalu habiskan............. :((((((

p/s: I macam meroyan kan? Entah makcik mana kerja kat IC kata mak. Owh well, exam reduced me to this................. hmph.

Sebab adik-beradik suka read between the lines

2010-05-23T23:00:00.006+01:00

Tadi kak Sophie tanya saya, "betul ke awak dah nak kahwin?"

Eheh, apa-apakan kak sophie tanya pasal kahwin direct. Cuba berpantun-pantun seloka dulu; mana ada orang cakap pasal kahwin direct-direct!

Tanya lah bunga di taman dah disunting ke or anything yang similar. OK geli sendiri bila type. Tarik balik idea.

Anyway, menulis bukan sebab dah nak kahwin. Bukan.

Semalam (two days ago sebenarnya. tapi guna semalam macam lebih klasik), pergi makan dengan kawan-kawan and we were talking about our plan, post-graduation. For those yang nak graduate this year, semua pun nak travel lah nak kerja chemistry non-related lah and all. Maybe sebab dah super-saturated dengan chemistry, develop allergy sendiri. Agaknya. Yang graduate next year (MSc students) baru lah berkaliber sikit. Ali siap terfikir untuk sambung for PhD! Well done! Selamat mengkaji lampu! (Owh dia sangat suka light! LED apa semua ni memang bidang dia).

And then when it was my turn untuk cakap what my plans are, I macam terdiam. No, bukan sebab I takde planning. My path is somewhat obvious sebenarnya. I know and I am ready to go through that. Tapi bila diorang tanya, kenapa nak balik Malaysia? Nak kena serve your country ke?

I diam.

Boleh tak, I terdiam. Sebab ia macam... It's an epiphany!

A'ah kan, balik ni it will be like a whole new world! *Sambil nyanyi lagu Aladdin a whole new world tu*

(Alah Sabriza, datang England cakap macam tu juga)

OK fine, I mungkin akan balik ke negara sendiri, but you know, I akan duduk sana dalam kondisi berbeza sekarang. I serve the country and not the other way around dah. I boleh mengundi. No, bukan boleh sebenarnya. I kena. Yes, that's it. I KENA MENGUNDI.

Anyway, back to the point, post-graduation. Azam I balik ni I nak berdamping-damping-damping family sampai diorang naik lemas-rimas. I nak serve the family. I nak jadi macam abang yang balik every fortnight (dia kata sebab nak bersama keluarga, tapi I rasa sebab dia.... *alamak, dia baca blog I. Meh dekat sikit I bisik* ... sebab I rasa dia manja.

Memanglah kadang-kadang, honestly speaking, I pun jadi annoyed kalau duduk rumah lama-lama. Dah lah susah nak keluar, having an overprotective father like that, bonus tambahan lagi with an overbearing brother. Not to mention, the aunties! Memang lengkap satu set tengah tunggu I.

Tapi I nak bila time-time I annoyed, I akan ingat on May 23, at 11.22pm, I dah berjanji dengan diri I sendiri, I will serve the family. Supaya I tak menyesal sendiri nanti.

Sebelum I ada keluarga sendiri, I nak family I rasa having me around, rasa my presence and ponder on my absence. Supaya supermom tak penat. Supaya ayah makin manja. Supaya adik-adik jadi pandai. Supaya abang makin... gemuk(?). I nak play a role in the family. An active one. Yes, that is a promise.

(However, this is not a promise to belanja my adik-beradik every time diorang minta. Sekian, terima kasih).

Owh, have you seen this? I tergelak sangat dengan konsep-konsep yang dikemukakan. Worth reading!

If you don't like something on others' facebook profile/blog, you don't have to look at it/read it, right?

It is not like the Google Chrome (or Mozilla Firefox or segala benda alah) tu terauto-type URL pun.

Kita tak boleh control orang tu, tapi definitely kita boleh control diri kita. Tak percaya, cubalah!

Macam sekarang, contohnya.

Advice is cheap

2010-05-15T06:26:00.003+01:00

Semua orang pun before buat sesuatu, akan ada target kan tentang apa yang nak dicapai dengan perlakuan tu. Begin with an end in mind. InsyaAllah, kerja tak jadi sia-sia. Macam dalam chemistry kan, ada type of reactions yang dilabel sebagai stereospecific. It will produce only a type of enantiomer jek. Again, ini lah contoh begin with an end in mind.

Kalau buat sesuatu (i.e. yang baik atau kurang baik), kita ada target group kan? Pastikan target group dulu sebelum buat sesuatu. Dan berbahasa lah seperti target group tersebut untuk supaya mudah masuk. Kenapa berbahasa?

Sebab bahasa jiwa bangsa. Eyh silap.

Sebab kan proverb pun dah kata, masuk kandang kambing mengembek, masuk kandang kerbau menguak. Macam dalam chemistry kan, there's this one term for this, reaction is said to be regiospecific. Reaction will only occurred dekat targeted site je.

Tengok, scientists kurang soft skill pun menyedari kepentingan target group. ni pulak kita yang sedikit bimbo ni (Okay, mungkin bukan kita. Saya).

Lepas tu kan, do remember. Good things take time. ada this one proverb that goes, "good and quickly seldom meet". macam dalam chemistry kan, tak semestinya reaction yang thermodynamically favoured tu is kinetically favoured tu. Ada reaction yang memang bagus in term of energy released, tapi will take you up to 2 years to reach completion. Sebab tu optimisation is important. Memanglah kalau nak bersedekah tunggu duit banyak dulu, tapi takkanlah nak kumpul duit 20 tahun, pastu baru nak sedekahkan kat anak yatim? By that time, anak yatim tu pun boleh cakap " takpelah terima kasih je kak. saya pun dah boleh sedekah kat anak yatim lain dah sekarang". Kan?

And then satu lagi, kita tak boleh expect semua orang faham kita. Kita ni adalah satu-satunya kita dalam dunia ni. Bukan lah ada acuan yang macam, "okay, arini jom kita buat batch sabriza. esok batch bedah". Contoh. Macam dalam chemistry kan... *sambil pandang-pandang all the readers yang dah tertido sebab asyik cakap pasal chemistry je*

Motif menulis?

Sebab tadi dah cakap pasal begin with an end in mind kan, surely saya ada objective tersendiri menulis today.

Mungkin tak saya nak beritahu saya dah 'celik chemistry' macam tahap semua benda atas dunia pun nampak its application in chemistry?

Sekian, terima kasih.

A Lesson Learnt

2010-05-11T23:22:00.004+01:00

First and foremost, terima kasih kepada semua yang menyampaikan ucapan takziah dan memberi sokongan moral. Yea, saya masih dalam mode melancholy, tapi insyaAllah, macam mama kata, setiap kali teringat tok, baik buat benda yang dia sukai dan harap kita buat bila dia dah pergi.

Saya sangat terasa dengan pemergian tok. Saya antara cucu yang paling rapat dengan tok, particularly selepas cik meninggal. Saya kurang pasti sama ada tok yang cuba mengambil alih tempat cik, atau saya yang berusaha mencari pengganti selepas cik. Yang pasti, saya rasa grateful for at least saya berpeluang untuk mendampingi tok; up-close and personal.

As I said before, tok adalah iron lady. Now to think about it, saya dibesarkan oleh wanita-wanita yang berkuasa superhero semuanya. Saya bukan memuji tok kerana tok adalah nenek saya, tapi dia selayaknya diberi pangkat sedemikian. Tok tak pernah bersekolah, tok tak pandai membaca malah tok tak pandai tengok jam pun! Tapi tok berniaga. Tok berniaga dari muda sehinggalah mungkin 2 tahun lepas, bila akhirnya dia akur dengan desakan anak-anak supaya duduk berehat sahaja. Tok mungkin tidak menghafal sifir, tapi tok sangat cekap mengira. Mungkin makan banyak kismis agaknya.

Cara didikan tok agak radical jika dibandingkan dengan makcik-makcik sezamannya. Saya tidak digalakkan mempunyai perasaan malu. Yea, saya akui, perasaan malu memang perlu ada. Yang saya maksudkan adalah perasaan malu tidak bertempat. Mungkin istilah lebih tepatnya, segan.

Believe it or not, saya bukanlah dilahirkan sebagai seorang yang ringan mulut untuk menegur orang yang tidak dikenali. Jika rakan-rakan sebaya, ya mungkin saya cepat berasa selesa lalu menjadi becok. Itupun kena ada reaction time dulu untuk warm-up. Apatah lagi mereka yang taraf kakak/makcik/nenek kepada saya. Saya rasa segan dan awkward untuk menegur. Saya lebih suka duduk and minding my own business bila berada dalam kelompok ini.

Dulu-dulu, saya prefer duduk di dalam bilik bila ada kawan-kawan mak atau ayah yang datang. Bermain dengan adik-beradik adalah lebih fun berbanding dengan menampal senyuman plastik di muka sambil berbual tentang cuaca, kan?

Tapi tok selalu mengarahkan saya melayan tetamunya. Dah namanya tetamu tok, takkan lah teenagers kan? Bila saya beralasan malu, tok akan kata, "Kenapa? Takde hidung ke". Hehe. Baru je nak feeling-feeling dara sunti duduk diam-diam dekat dapur bila tetamu datang.

Tok selalu suruh saya hantar makanan kepada jiran-jirannya. Jiran-jiran tok, particularly nenek jiran belakang rumah, memang sangat friendly yang tahap setiap kali saya datang hantar makanan akan pelawa masuk. Siap tunjuk album gambar zaman-zaman muda dia lagi!

Sekarang saya faham kenapa tok paksa saya develop skill sebegitu rupa. Mungkin sebab nak senangkan cucu dia nak ambil hati mak mertua (eyh, kesimpulan I salah ke?) :P

Sebab selalu bertandang ke rumah tok, saya belajar untuk tidak diam apabila berjumpa dengan pelbagai jenis manusia. Perlu kot kan sebenarnya? Terutama kalau orang tu macam terasa inferior dengan kita. Mungkin akan cepat dilabel sombong.

Naturally, saya memang mudah mendapat label sombong. Kenapa?

Sebab saya memilih kawan. Sad, but true.

Saya bukan lah salah seorang insan bertuah yang memang sejak lahir sudah bersifat extrovert. Yang riang-ria ceria jeeee dengan semua orang. Yang tau je what to say, where and when to say it.

Mungkin perlu mempraktikkan ajaran tok dengan lebih gigih lagi. Tegur-sapa and put others at ease. Networking itu mana tau mungkin tak bermakna sekarang, tapi siapa tahu, dia rupa-rupanya bakal besan kita 30 tahun akan datang! (Hehe. Tiba-tiba dah nak bermenantu ni apa cerita?)

Satu tips yang saya dapat secara indirect dari tok adalah cari your common factor semasa sesi ice-breaking dengan strangers. There should be at least, one. At least. Selalunya 5. Atau 8. Atau 496. Yea, sebanyak itu. Mungkin kita ada hobby yang sama, mempunyai common friend, cucunya satu sekolah dengan kita, cucunya pun ke MRSM juga, anaknya pun suka makan dodol, sama pendapat kata harga barang di Pantai Selamat adalah mahal etc. Apa sahaja. The list should be endless. Kalau memang sah-sah tiada, bolehlah cakap pasal waktu sembahyang. Betul, sumpah tak tipu. Boleh kata rasa macam masa cepaaat sangat berlalu sekarang, boleh cakap tentang maghrib yang masuk awal. Kan comel kan tok saya? :')

Handwritten

2010-05-10T15:17:00.003+01:00

I have two neneks. Between this two, I love my tok (sebelah ayah) more. I tau such a favouritism is wrong but how could I not? Tok sangat manjakan cucu-cucunya. Anything that I couldn't get from mak and ayah, I akan minta dengan tok. And obviously, the answer will be yes. Siapa yang tak sayang this type of granny?

Satu lagi, tok suka bawak I pergi pasar. Of all her cucu(s), I selalu dapat privilege untuk teman dia ke pasar. Teman untuk tok bawa ke pasar is such a big deal in our family. Kalau tok call and ask us personally untuk ke pasar, we should be flattered. That means dia suka our company and dia sayang kita lebih dari orang lain (besides ummairah si anak manja yang memang akan teman tok macam-macam mana pun despite tok suka or tak).

And bila pergi pasar, the best part is when bila dah penat-penat, dia akan tanya kita nak apa. Lepas tu akan terus menonong pergi menuju ke peti jual air untuk beli air tin. Hehehe. Memang saja je tunggu lepas tu buat muka monyok konon-konon penat sangat. Tau dah nanti mesti tok offer nak beli air.

#546 reason kenapa I sayang tok ialah sebab tok is such a great cook! Memang the greatest among the great lah! Everytime raya, dia akan masak sampai tak muat meja. Anddddd, dia akan start buat kuih a month before raya! Like a week before raya, I akan permanently duduk rumah tok untuk tolong dia masak etc etc. Again, ini pun adalah satu privilege bila dia actually wants us to be in her kitchen. Tak semua orang boleh sentuh barang dalam kitchen tok, let alone tolong dia masak :')

My tok lives not far away from our house. It is just a short 15 minutes drive from home. I selalu cakap nanti bila I balik I akan drive her to her monthly medical check-up sebab I sekarang dah ada kereta, all thanks to mak and ayah.

Bila call tok, mesti tok suruh sabar. Tiba-tiba je out of blue tengah borak-borak, mesti tiba-tiba dia suruh I sabar. Mesti dia pun tau I takde butang 'pause'.

Tok is such a strong woman. Dia jadi single mother since before mak and ayah kahwin lagi. She used to run this small kedai runcit yang I ingat lagi jual coklat susu. I rasa, semua business-minded dalam family datang dari genetic dia.

Lagi satu, tok is such a darling sebab dia selalu kata I cantik. Even time I gemuk gedempol pun, dia tetap akan kata I cantik. Even time dia kata abang buncit pun, I tetap manis, dia kata. I suka!

Tok selalu cerita perasaan/pengalaman dia ke Mekah. Even dah like 10 years ago pun, dia still akan reliving the moment from time to time. And being an obedient granddaughter, I dengar lah macam lah itu adalah first time dia cerita.

Tok selalu masak makanan kegemaran cucu-cucu dia yang baru balik! I particularly like sup ikan jebung tok. sedap!

Bila I call tok and cakap pasal nak masak apa untuk raya this year, dia selalu kata dia macam tak sempat tunggu I balik. Tapi I degil. I tak percaya. I ingat itu adalah kata-kata biasa seorang nenek berumur 89. I should have known better. Tok nak bagi hint jangan berharapan tinggi sangat. Nyawa kita milik Allah.

Sekarang,
I dah tak boleh makan sup ikan jebung as such sebab I tak sempat nak belajar resipi dia.
I dah tak boleh dengar pengalaman tok pergi Mekah.
Dah takde lagi orang akan puji I cantik religiously.
Dah takde lagi tok untuk randomly nasihat I suruh sabar.
I dah tak boleh teman tok pergi pasar.
No more rendang handmade by tok.
Most importantly, I tak sempat bawak dia pergi medical check-up dalam kereta baru I.

Tok dah meninggal. Pagi tadi. Doakan dia bahagia di sana ye kawan-kawan?
(Sebab saya sayang tok saya. sayang sangat)

Al-Fatihah.

That's the way the cookie crumbles

2010-05-07T22:26:00.007+01:00

I set the lab on fire today.

In my defense, it is just a ~~small~~ accident with minimal damage. Ngeeh. I was obviously not myself today sampai all the colleagues pun notice. Yelah, I pun rasa macam tu. I went to a lecture this morning at 9 am before lab, and bukan setakat I tak faham apa yang diajar (which is biasa je kadang-kadang kalau terkhayal sekejap dalam class), tapi I siap tak tahu pun I pergi class untuk module apa tadi! Owh well, good to know that I cannot perform well bila I ada personal problem. Good to know. Lepas ni time kerja boleh minta cuti kerana personal reason. Hehe.

Anyway, just hoping that this too, shall pass. I benci bila buat semua benda tak kena with all that little things nagging in mind. I benci benci benci! Having said that, I bukan tak nak face off the problem (or in my case, the source of the problem) tapi I prefer to sweep things under the carpet. Salah kan approach I of life? (Yes, I know. Thank you very much for pointing it out)

Takpelah, kadang-kadang kita rasa hidup kita lah paling susah, tapi hakikatnya ramai lagi orang lebih susah kat luar sana kan? Setakat masalah-masalah biasa dalam hidup, toughen up lah sikit. Sabriza, tolong jangan jadi kacang! Brittle sangat, crack under pressure.

Orang kat Palestine tu bukan setakat masalah rumah, rumah pun diorang tak ada tau. Sila bersyukur sekarang!

Obviously, I don't have any point anywhere in my rambling ni kan?

(yeah, I tend to ramble bila I bermasalah. Sebab nak tolong tambahkan masalah orang lain. Nghee).

Okay, by the way, I am dying to try out this one new cake recipe! Nanti lah I berexperiment di dapur lagi. I nak bake sampai I dilantik sebagai mempunyai acquired taste when it comes to cakes oleh masyarakat setempat. Mampoo?! *dengan nada amin siddiq*

I memang takde point menulis nampaknya. Takpelah. Not good enough to bring it to any level but satisfactory enough to sooth me. Owh well, Alex O'Loughlin pun writes music for himself kan? Sama lah kita!!! *gedik*

Jom Alex, us against the world! :D

p/s: Sure! Take my advice. I know I won't be using it anyway ;)

Calon SPM

2010-05-06T20:44:00.005+01:00

Tadi after dah penaaat gila buat transcribe untuk Kak Mai, i wandered around in Facebook. I stumbled upon my cousin's page, Razlan. I baca dia punya shoutout (i don't know lah what's that thing called. Yang dia tanya kita 'What's on your mind?' tu). Dia kata "I wish life has a fast-forward button".

I terus menangis tengok status dia.

Razlan anak sulung. The eldest of three. Dia di MCKK sekarang, Form 5 sebaya Ummar. Dia sangat memahami kesusahan keluarga. Dia sangat menghargai pengorbanan ibunya. Hence, I deduce dia tak sabar-sabar nak balas jasa ibu bapa. My makcik (ibu dia) is not materialistic, tapi saya tahu. Dia pun dah tak sabar nak tunggu supaya anak-anak besar. Mesti susah hidup susah kan? :(

This might sounds a bit cliche, tapi his family is no ordinary family. Family kami might not be wealthy, but at least, we are together. Togetherness pun dah memberi kekuatan sebenarnya. Kami ada support system. Everyone is just a phone call away. I tak benci sesiapa dalam family I. However, his family is a little less unfortunate. Takpelah... Everyone has a skeleton in their closet kan?

Saya doakan dia. Mana tahu, apa yang dia hadapi sekarang turns out to be the best thing that happened to him in life? Kesusahan sekarang might be his driving force to achieve a better tomorrow; for him, for his ibu, untuk adik-adik dia. I wish I could help. No, scratch that. I want to help. I will help, InsyaAllah!

Takpelah Razlan, kakak doakan awak. Kakak doakan kejayaan awak dan Ummar dalam SPM 2010, ameen :)

Buktikan korang boleh!

Negativity Spreads!

2010-05-01T17:50:00.011+01:00

Jom kita wujudkan a 'no whining' zone! I know, together, we can!

Kenapa whining is not good for us?

1. Sebab it channels negative energy. And, negativitiy spreads! Bila kita whine, si pendengar juga akan depressed. He/she will whine about something else, too and then sekarang jadi two whiners pulak. And then, si secondary whiner will whine to someone else and then a new whiner emerged. Okay, i am sure you got the big picture. Better stop now before korang pulak whining! ;)

2. Sebab kita akan dilihat sebagai seorang yang negative. Nanti terus jadi orang takut nak dekat. Even nak tanya "how are you feeling today?" pun jawapannya negative! Panjang, meleret-meleret dengan pendahuluan, isi penting dan penutup hanya untuk buat kesimpulan yang dia sebenarnya hati sedang kusut. (Mungkin anda pernah jadi orang macam ni. Mungkin saya pernah jadi orang macam ini!)

3. Nanti tak ada orang nak kawan. Enough said.

4. Okay, saya tak ada idea lah. Kawan-kawan, ada apa-apa nak tambah?

Jom kita jadi orang yang positive!

Lazy day. Lazy lazy lazy day.

Mungkin kalau mampu jumpa computer kosong di IC (which is VERY unlikely), akan mampu buat kerja dengan productivenya. Mungkin.

Tiba-tiba teringat ayat standard ummairah kalau dia ajak bermain dengan dia dan saya menolak dengan memberi pelbagai sebab,

"kakak jangan bagi banyak alasan!"

ayat standard ummar pulak untuk setiap benda (by setiap i mean memang each and every benda),

"alah, perasaan kakak je tu!"

Baiklah, mari teruskan bekerja! jangan beralasan, jangan berperasaan!

Mari kekalkan momentum bekerja. Kerana kata Allah,

"Maka apabila engkau telah selesai (dari sesuatu urusan), tetaplah bekerja keras (untuk urusan yang lain)"

Everyone should have an idol. No, scratch that. Everyone should have a mentor. Yes, that sounds better. I allergic dengan perkataan idol sebab it is overused sampai it has loss its original meaning. Anyway, back to the mentor thingy.

I believe that everyone should have a person that he/she looked up to, preferably someone who has already achieved a high degree of success in your chosen field. Your mentor should be someone that you will listen to, undoubtedly.

A mentor does not necessarily means someone that you know, or someone that you are acquaintance with. After all, realistically speaking, ada berapa kerat pun orang berjaya yang kita kenal in our contacts' list kan?

You can still be inspired by reading autobiographies of great leaders that you admire. If that is the case, there, you have got yourself a mentor! :) Learn everything you can from their lives and model some of their successful behaviors.

Do some adaption if necessary. Having a mentor does not mean that you have to be a copycat, a parrot that imitates without having its own identity. Everyone has a vastly different living styles. Be yourself! (Cliche kan?)

Imagine this:

I admire Dr. Fadzillah Kamsah as an Islamic motivator. Tapi kalau I tiru dia, I'd be a second or third rate Dr. Fadzillah, at best, instead of a first rate Sabriza.

I selalu nasihat macam ni dekat orang-orang yang tanya I. Be yourself, be yourself, be yourself. Barulah muka ceria, hidup bahagia! (amacam, ada gaya Dr. Fadzillah tak? ;P)

Anyway, putting all the jokes aside, you seriously have to be your best self. By frequently competing against yourself and bettering yourself, you will become a first rate YOU instead of a second rate somebody else.

Reminder to Self

2010-04-19T11:52:00.009+01:00

I found this really interesting poster in my bro's blog. Check him out! (His page, of course)

This reminds me of an advice given by a dear friend to me once, "kadang-kadang kita perlu belajar untuk tekan butang pause". Very true, indeed.

I can be quite impatient at times. I do things at fast-paced and I have little patience for those who do stuffs slowly. I live on the 'first-come, first-served' basis. Boredom, followed by anger threatened to come forth when I am facing a tedious task, long-winded discussions about old issues, waiting upon others, walking slower for others to be able to catch up with me and anything related to those.

Undoubtedly, I need to have more patient and wait for the others around me. Everyone live at their own pace and the world is a better place because of that.

"Have a little patience, Sabriza!," kata Take That ;)

p/s: Emak sudah sihat, alhamdulillah. Terima kasih ya Allah kerana masih lagi beri kami peluang untuk berbakti pada emak :)

In Case of Emergency

2010-04-11T12:51:00.007+01:00

I promise this will be a quick one.

I just feel the need to educate (it is smug and unnecessary to use the word 'educate' here kan?) you about this ICE issue.

In Case of Emergency or ICE dated way back around 2005 (or is it 2006?). Dakyah ICE ni memang sumpah penting! Kempen ini menyeru untuk kita save emergency contacts in our contact list as ICE, followed by our next of kin.

Example: ICE Mommy

or if you want to be peculiarly sweet save lah housemate(s) you punya number as ICE Housemate ;)

This is important if, nauzubillah, say kita accident ke having a heart attack ke or even if we lose the mobile phone. Boleh lah the first responders contact mereka as soon as possible. Tak perlu kot iklankan dalam Utusan Melayu ke, New Straits Times ke, Harakah ke (eyh?) after this.

I strongly suggest everyone to do this. Trust me, awak akan menyenangkan diri awak dan orang-orang di sekeliling awak.

Mama pesan, bila kita permudahkan urusan orang, nanti Allah akan permudahkan urusan kita, insyaAllah.

OK I update sebab nak beritahu pasal ni je. I find it particularly worrying sebab in my opinion, ICE perlu jadi general knowledge!

There is a silver lining behind every cloud!

Supermom action-figures (sold separately)

According to surah al-'Asr, semua orang haruslah berpesan-pesan kepada kebenaran. And because of that, life is never easy. Far from it. Berpesan-pesan pun bukan berpesan-pesan biasa, tapi kena pulak dengan kesabaran. Kan bukan senang nak hidup kan?

Tapi Allah pun tak kata kita hidup di dunia ni sorang-sorang. He is always there with us. Allah Maha Baik, memberi sebelum sempat kita meminta. Even nak minta tolong mama bagi recipe pun kena call dulu. Tu pun kadang-kadang tak angkat, tak dengar lah, tidur lah, busy lah. Itu baru kisah minta tolong bagi recipe.

Allah bukan setakat kita boleh minta recipe, minta nasi goreng pun dia boleh bagi. Tak percaya? Mintalah! ;)

Where were we?

Right. Life is hard.

Allah tak minta pun kita manage hidup kita yang susah gila gila gila ni sorang-sorang kan? Kita akan rasa hidup kita ni asyik susah je tak pernah senang-senang sebab kita rasa kita in control (when in truth, we are not). Contrary to popular beliefs, we do not fully control our life. Allah does. Cliche i know, but it's true.

Allah duga kita sebab dia sayang kita. Dia nak dengar kita merintih pada Dia. Dia nak kita selalu ingat pada Dia. Simple kan? Jadi apa yang susah sangat sebenarnya?

p/s: Mama, get well soon! Tak sabar nak borak-borak, gelak-gelak macam biasa dengan mama!

Been busy with work and whatnot. well, mostly work especially the last week before Easter.

Presentation for the last project is okay. not greatly okay, but OK lah. faham ke?

us, before the presentation

(Front row(from left): Kate, Flo, Yours Truly.

Back row(from left): Alex, AJ, Rob, Ali).

after the presentation, we went for pizza dekat this one pizza place yang diclaim sedang offer oleh Alex (but apparently, not). The pizza was nice, tho.

Apa lagi kan? ~~(nampak sangat takde modal)~~

owh and, went to Carboot (is it last month?) and bought myself lotsa board games! OK lah balik Malaysia mesti tak bosan lagi sebab asyik ~~menang~~ main Monopoly jek dengan abang and ummar.

Nasib baik pergi dengan kereta, maka tak perlu risau barang belian yang berbondong-bondong.

Owh, i bought myself a knitting machine, too!

leg warmer, hasil kaitan

leg warmey dual tone sebab benang orange habis tiba-tiba, so sambung guna purple plak. dah lah material jenis lain-lain. belasah jek lah.

Unfortunately, leg warmer hanya sebelah sebab dah penat untuk kait lagi sebelah. Hehehe. Takpelah, pakai sebelah hip-hop sikit ;)

Ada orang request untuk tips memilih hair brush, tapi nantilah ilmu jasmani itu akan juga diperturunkan satu hari nanti, insyaAllah.

current favourite game. jom Boggle!

Currently reading Edward de Bono's. It's a page-turner! :)

YAAAAY!! Weekend datang lagi!

It had been a depressing week that i menyambut kedatangan weekend with open arms, sekali dengan bunga manggar and red carpet. Thank You Allah for guiding me to survive the week, all in one piece.

Tapi kan, waktu gembira-gembira weekend, yang tahap semua orang akan update status(es) like:

"OMG it's Friday!"

"Can't wait for the weekend!"

"Thank God it's Friday"

dan pelbagai lagi...

kita tak sedar kan with each passing day, usia kita semakin meningkat, sisa hidup semakin sedikit:

Pointnya: yeah, kita semakin menghampiri mati -.-!

I read a poem by a poet that i shan't be named ~~(sebab tak ingat sebenarnya siapa)~~

"We take delight in everyday that we lived,

yet each day that passes is a portion (gone) of a lifetime"

Beristighfar sekejap kan selepas baca. (Tak ke? OK kena check balik hati sebab hati yang baik adalah yang bergetar apabila diingati tentang mati) :P

(kenapa ejaan istighfar sangat pelik? Ok sabriza, that's besides the point =.=)

Anyway, have a good weekend babe(s)!

Owh by the way, saya ada kawan complain pasal sekali dengar ceramah-ceramah (dan leteran, of course), sekali baca buku, waktu tu je akan termotivated. After that, *poof* gone with the wind.

(ada sound effect lagi. waah, gitu!)

Percayalah, semua orang pun merasakan begitu. Yakinlah.

Jawapan saya kepada masalah itu adalah dengan meminjam quote Zig Ziglar,

"People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing-that's why we recommend it daily".

Wallahualam.

So long, girls!

p/s: tajuk begitu kerana dalam iklan Power Root, pakcik menang motor sangat comel! hehe.

“Don't tell me where your priorities are. Show me where you spend your time/money and I'll tell you what they are.”

Indeed.

Action does speak louder than words, after all.

Z.O.O!

2010-02-23T08:33:00.005Z

ZOO needs you!

What is ZOO ?

Zone of the Oblates.

InsyaAllah, we will be opening a booth during NEXT '10 selling (recycled... ahem) clothes, accessories and much more. 100% of the profits will go to charity.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS, GIRLS!

Q: What can you do to help?

A: You can do one of the following (or two or all of them!)

1) Rummage through your closet, donate your unwanted (but wearable) clothes

2) Tired of the same old accessories? Donate! (e.g. handbags, shoes, necklace)

3) Have a great fashion sense? Help us revamp the ~~old~~ vintage clothes donated!

4) A girl with a heart of gold? Help us selling the clothes during NEXT '10!

5) A creative girl with creative mind? Contact us, we have a special task waiting for you! ;)

6) Abundance of free time to kill? Come on, tag along!

Join our little (but fun!) social party, in the name of charity!

As the purse is emptied, the heart is filled. InsyaAllah.

Everybody Wants It

2010-02-20T23:40:00.010Z

Whoever will be able to resist such a temptation? I CAN'T =.=

Cats are a natural stress reliever. In addition, the companionship of the cat is undeniable. When you get home after a tiring day, it will always be waiting for you at the door; greeting you with its loudest meow ~~asking you to feed him~~ asking you about your day, making us feel like we are not alone.

I remember this one Italian Proverb (yes, surprise surprise. Yours Truly did passed her Italian exam in her first year),

"Happy is the home with at least one cat"

See, bukan i yang kata, an old wise man from Italy yang kata.

For those of you who think that you hate cats, i recommend you 'A Cat Called Norton'. The book may be the turning point of your life ;)

Nota tambahan: ayah saya kata kalau kita beri makan kucing nanti kucing tu doakan kita. Comel je ayah bagi reasoning supaya anak-anak rajin sikit beri makan kucing (especially time nak exam dulu-dulu sebab nak tumpang doa kucing).

Whimsical Wednesday

2010-02-17T14:23:00.006Z

1. I don't find Jeff Dunham's jokes to be funny. His islamophobia has went overboard (even when he keeps denying it). Hello, the first step to solve a problem is to acknowledge it kot =.=

2. On the other hand, i think that Alan Carr, the chatty man is really funny that he cracked me up! Booo Jeff Dunham!

3. I am currently reading Daylle Deanna Schwartz's but i don't think i will be able to finish it anytime soon. She's just not my type kot (in this context, her style of writing, of course).

3.5 We baked chocolate chunk cookies yesterday. It was super cantik and super scrumptious (Disclaimer: i might be overstating a bit when i said super cantik XD). We made four dozens of those gorgeous black beauties hence at the end of the day, we felt like working in kilang biskut cap hup seng. No kidding.

4. Ada tak siapa-siapa ada buku 'Jalan Da'wah'? Nak pinjam please. Nak beli tapi dah habis. I strongly recommended the book (even though I haven't read it. yet)

5. Owh kawan-kawan. Ada buku comel bertajuk 'Online dengan Tuhan'. Sila baca. Yea, bukan setakat ada online dengan facebook sahaja yea kawan-kawan (ehem).

6. Kenapa tiba-tiba entry bertukar bahasa? Mungkin ini namanya asimilasi budaya (takde kaitan).

Mengidam

2010-01-16T19:15:00.003Z

sambal goreng tempe

i mengidam ini................................. :(

menyesal google food images tadi. habit men-google gambar makanan di masa lapang perlu diberhentikan! Perlu harus mesti!

Googled is a verb nowadays

2010-01-13T21:45:00.005Z

Habit is something that we do unconsciously. Habit is a recurrent, an established custom that is WAAAYYY hard to be changed. Especially if it is bad habit. Trust me, i can relate >.<

To always have a second generous helping of rice even when you are full, that is a habit.

To always fall asleep after performing a subuh prayer, that is a habit.

To procrastinate, that IS a habit.

We do not have the habit by nature; habit is something that we acquire along the way.

We are not born with the urge to correct every grammatical errors that others made.

We are not born with the urge to organise our closet according to its colour scheme.

And no, we definitely are not born with the automatic answer of "malas" whenever being asked to do something.

But, good news people! A wise man (woman sebenarnya. hehe) once told me that a habit takes 21 days to develop. This simply means, sebenarnya if you are being such a lazybone today and ponteng revision the whole day, you can still start fresh anew esok and start revising! Ponteng revision is not your habit (at least not yet).

*yeke the latter explanation to is the simplification of the former topic sentence? macam lagi panjang QWEFDSBGRGFDPKG*

"The chain of a habit is too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken."

So, get moving people! Acquire new (and of course most importantly good) habit starting today!

I remember this one favourite quote from my favourite favourite Mark Twain,

*overused of the word favourite di situ nampaknya. harus berhati-hati*

"Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time."

Perhaps, we cannot just stop chewing the nails whenever we are nervous. (But, we can decrease the amount of nail-chewing (euww) to only a few times per day as a start?)

Or, we cannot just stop buying stuffs that are on sale just to see them collect dusts and cluttering in our smaaaalll room.

Or we cannot stop from kutuk-ing what others are doing just for the sole reason of 'kutuk-ing'; without any intention to change it or whatsoever.

BUT, insyaAllah we can TRY to stop doing them.

Acknowledging the weakness is the first step. Tahniah, you have made it this far! Now, go on. Take a second baby step. One pace at a time. I'll be cheering you from here :)

(What? You tak kenal Mark Twain? You mean, you are unfamiliar with Tom Sawyer? Shame, shame on you. Pergi tanya pakcik google sekarang!)

Obviously, there is little you can learn from doing nothing.

2010-01-04T13:05:00.003Z

Quoting abang,

Apabila hidup anda mulai menjadi rutin, dan anda tidak belajar perkara baru dan tidak berkembang, ketahuilah bahawa anda sedang mati secara perlahan-lahan. Passion, keinginan dan keghairahan untuk hidup, belajar benda baru dan menjadi manusia yang lebih baik akan perlahan-lahan padam dari diri anda.

If you are not growing, you are dying. Definitely.

The full article is here.

Baik, saya mesti berusaha! Saya pasti saya boleh!

Owh btw abang, nah 5* sebab bahasa melayu sangat terbaik!

p/s: yeah, saya tau. like i said, adik beradik saya are all cool like that (kecuali saya sebab saya hot *nak jugaaaaak kan* )

My Birthday Present as Given by Ummar

2010-01-01T10:31:00.007Z

He emailed me a letter, instead of the customary birthday card as usual ~~kerana he's so broke he cannot afford paying the postal fee~~ because he thought that i would appreciate the little change of upgrading ourselves parallel to the hi-tech world -.-

anyway,

he sent me this wise, super-sweet letter that compensate ~~his penniless state~~ his addiction to the advancement of technology state.

in his letter, a paragraph that touches my heart the most was,

“Winners are people with a definite purpose in life. Losers are people who wander aimlessly through life or self-destruct.”

it went right through my heart as i was just on the phone with my girlfriend last night, and she told me that sometimes, she feels like a loser. only sometimes, i can assure you she's a go-getter girl. just exactly what a winner should be. yes, i believe in her that much.

let's us all be a winner. to be one, we don't have to knock others down on our way to get up there, no gaining at the expense of others needed. just be, and celebrate yourself up there while helping others climbing in getting there.

success is to be shared. surely, it is no fun of conquering a mountain (or a hill, if you are si boyak yang tak mahu bersukan) and then experiencing the picturesque view alone by yourself, went down afterwards and bragged to others about it.

it is better to have friends who have had seen the sceneries that we seen up there themselves. and we can reminiscing precisely (even after 20 years) the sweetness of conquering the abovementioned mountain.

Why would a 17 years old high school boy writing inspirational email to his sister? that's a different story. Regardless, we, the siblings, are all cool like that ;)

love you heaps for making it this far in reading!*virtual hug*

When Bad Things Happen to Good People

2009-12-30T19:35:00.002Z

Cancer survivor, Lance Armstrong ended up saying that cancer was the best thing that ever happened to him. Believe it or not, without it, he would never have been motivated to win the Tour de France.

Look for the good in the bad.

With that in mind, see if you can get some positive perspective on any bad event happening right now.

Trust me,

It's there.

The purpose of life is a life of purpose

Sila abaikan blog yang tunggang langgang. I wish i could say it is under the construction, but who am i kidding anyway?

i started but then halfway, i dah macam "ahh, wth. baik tido". hahaha.

so, tido i did.

p/s: tengok lah bila in the mood nanti i akan sambung lagi. mungkin esok, or next week or next month or maybe, next year. maybe, just maybe ;)

you know what is sweet?

i would get married when i have found this kinda guy
or when he found me
(...whichever comes first) ;)

ameen.

edited: ada request for a review regarding the link from someone. He/she (potong yang mana tidak berkenaan) is too lazy to read, katanya.

yelah lazybone, here goes:

Photographer, Ryan Marshall decided to document the pregnancy of his beloved wife. He took weekly photos of his pregnant wife's growing belly. Next to each photo, he writes sweet notes to their unborn child. and by sweet, i mean scheeeeweet!

tak nak baca takpe, tengok gambar pun dah cukup ;)

Siapa yang nak address I tadi?

2009-10-22T23:31:00.007+01:00

Calling home just now. Macam gembira jeeeeeeeek mereka menghabiskan saki-baki hamper raya yang didapati. Have you guys got any hampers for the raya? If not, kesiannya. Come bagi i alamat, i'll post one to you. Never receive any raya hamper is a crime when you are a Malaysian! Totally unforgivable.

Cannot wait for Chinese New Year pulak. At that time around, we will receive boxes of oranges pulak! Time tu i lah akan jadi manusia paling cukup vitamin C sekali kat seluruh permatang badak tu :D even if i am not gonna be home for CNY, still, i harap i akan dapat makan free oranges jugak (apa awak nak poskan? sweeetnya! alrite after this i bagi my address)

Unfortunately, i never receive any Deepavali hamper. neither during Christmas, now to think of it. Mungkin networking ibu dan bapa tidak cukup lagi for us to obtain a Deepavali hamper. Ok lah kena masuk dalam to-do list harus bersosial dengan lebih ramai Indians untuk memastikan kelangsungan mendapatkan laddoo sebelum next Deepavali (yea i tau. i memang cheapskate, so? Kenapa beli jika anda boleh dapat free? ;) )

Though, does it ever occurred to your mind to why do they have to send all the gifts during festive season?

(dah tentu tak terfikirkan sebab awak kan tak pernah dapat hamper raya ;P)

To gain approval. As a token of appreciation. As a subtle way of bribing (in this case, the hamper will be sent to someone of higher hierarchy e.g. boss)

*Cheh sendiri tanya sendiri jawab*

Pernah tak awak terfikir selepas apa yang Allah bagi kat kita seperti mata, telinga, duit, intelligence, handbag river island, zara shoes (ok ok i think WE ALL got the point. hahaha) pernah tak kita terfikir untuk bagi hamper dekat Allah? (not literally, of course) -_-

even Mr Chew jual ayam pun tau everytime raya harus bagi hamper pada semua pemborong ayam dia tau. Kerja pejabat hari-hari (i.e. solat 5 kali sehari) kena punchcard daftar diri tak kisah malas ke rajin ke kenaaaaa jugak buat. tapi untuk bodek lebih sedikit macam mana?

Hence, please do remember to give the Big Boss his Eid, CNY, Deepavali and Hari Gawai hamper from time to time okay? :)

laddoo idaman yang menjadi target saya sebelum deepavali

Guess What? Guess What?

2009-10-20T17:49:00.003+01:00

I am back.

With a bit of luck, i did not lose any of my dear readers out there. Yeah, after driving almost everybody around me up to the wall, i know i am able to do just that to you too. Try me.

Hopefully, my comeback would be forever this time. I apologise for the dry spell in this past few months. I can't promise you it won't happen again but i'm gonna try. I'm gonna try my hardest to be istiqamah in writing.

What's the driving force for me to start writing again?

Easy. Because the best type of ibadah that Allah really likes is "a small good deed, but continuous."

*Continuous ye kawan-kawan. C O N T I N U O U S* (okay boleh stop being annoying sekarang!)

okay, bye.

If you don't get this...

2009-06-19T01:25:00.002+01:00

then, it's time for you to read the newspapers (and not the showbiz section), dear friend...

Blog bersawang. Blame the pre-exams fever. And the post-exams. too. Heh ;P
So, how are you, people? Still living, still breathing?

it's paycheck day today. YAAAAY!
and i celebrated it by dropping by at the supermarket and bought myself a 4-pint milk. yes, you heard it right ppl, a celebration with the MILK.

and while walking back home, holding(more like hugging) that bottle of milk (eco-friendly katanya. bag plastic? ape tu?) i noticed one thing:
all the other people, young and carefree, are walking with a canned beer in their hand. BEER.

striding, nose high up in the air, with that bottled milk held up with pride, i cannot help but thinking,
"how much cooler can i be?"

moral of the day: don't drink beer. drink milk.
-_-!

nowadays, setelah mengurangkan masa keluar bersosial dan melebihkan masa indoor(yang sepatutnya kena study), baru lah disedari, i berkebolehan untuk mengecheck email 80x sehari(takde life? yeah, saya memang bosan -_-)
kadang-kadang bukak inbox dan dah kata 'no unread message(s)' pun akan merefresh berkali-kali.

bagus. nanti boleh masukkan dalam Skills section dekat CV. Bagus untuk apply kerja dekat Human Resource. Boleh ganti Mark dekat Phones4u yang balas email lembapnya macam lah kena tulis surat rasmi beli stamp dekat kedai 1km dari rumah nak tampal stamp takde gam kena tunggu kedai bukak on Monday pastu tiga hari kemudian baru sampai pada penerima. pfft.

dah lah banyak pulak tu halangan untuk study. macam mana ada ibu yang boleh jadi student simultaneously eyh? multitasking tahap raksasa.
ni jawabnya baru nak start study baru teringat masak bubur anak, anak belum tukar pampers, suami nak makan nasi goreng, pokok belum siram etc etc. and by the time semua menda dah settle, ayam pun berkokok subuh. tabik betul ibu-ibu ini.

You Can't Give Up

2009-05-19T17:11:00.001+01:00

it's that time of the year -_-!
exam datang lagi..........................................................

and the same things happened. again and again. i would rather spend my time listening to adik's stories about science club, makanan kantin, penolong ketua pengawas, kelas tambahan UPSR, ~~zac efron~~, kekeliruan ummairah ketika menjawab BM Tatabahasa dan sebagainya daripada buat kerja. and rindu pada ummairah akan melanda sampai termimpi-mimpi padahal selama ni asyik gaduh je(dah nama pun long-distance relationship).
sibuklah time-time preparing for the exam ni lah nak call abang berlagak sebab dah beli phone baru tapi dia tak pernah angkat("abang, pick me up!",jerit si telefon), call ummar 3x seminggu semata-mata nak kacau dia tengah tidur dan suruh dia bercerita tentang MRSM PC, call mak everyday sebab nak tanya "mak tengah buat ape tu?" sampai mak dah malas jawab >.< call ayah sebab nak urge ayah suruh tukar phone usangnya.
tolonglah kata saya tidak berseorangan menghadapi dugaan kemalasan ini. peliklah. ada tak orang yang boleh stuuuuudy jek tak payah angkat muka pandang keliling. matahari terbenam dah terbit balik pun tak sedar*geleng-geleng*

O' Lord, help us to prioritise our work and grant us najah. Ameen.

it's a bird...it's a plane...no, it's supermom!

2009-05-11T09:11:00.001+01:00

abang baru post kan kat facebook gambar favourite playground kami masa kecik-kecik. playground ni memang superb tau. siap ada train lagi! dan kat sini lah saya belajar perkataan locomotive sebab abang berlagak-lagak dia tau locomotive tu kepala kereta api so menunjuk-nunjuk lah ilmu pengetahuan dengan adik yang masih kecil yang hanya terpinga-pinga dan berkata dalam hati, "wah pandainya abang!"
berlagak dengan budak kecik boleh lah abang =.=
____________________________________________________________________

yesterday was Mother's Day in Malaysia. ~~and i almost forgot to wish mak semalam.~~

Happy Mother's Day, ibu! *gedik sikit panggil ibu tiba-tiba =.=*
so yeah, today i went to the post office to post the handmade card yang saya dah beli monthss ago (tak saya tak buat sendiri. saya beli handmade punya. mak saya punya nilai estetika sangat tinggi. bakat seni saya tak mungkin dapat memuaskan hati beliau). while i was there, saya juga menunaikan tanggungjawab dengan mengepos semua birthday cards, souvenirs from egypt, dan barang-barang berkenaan kepada orang-orang tertentu (yea, macam berbondong-bondong sekali ke post office bawak segala macam kotak).

owh and mak kata, the sweetest present for this year would be from Ummar.
*alah tu sebab tak dapat lagi hadiah kakak, hati kecilku berkata*

Mak got lots of text messages wishing happy mother's day from a lotss of people(so abang kalau awak setakat text aje, awk termasuk lah dalam longgokan ini :P)

from ummairah, well... adik actually has the nerve to ask for some money from mak to buy her a present for mother's day. *yelah, inilah pelaburan namanya. the more money you give to adik, the more expensive present you will get. baiklah suruh mak pilih sendiri terus hadiah tu and pergi counter bayar >.>*

and from ummar, the winner of the day*drumrolls*
mak dapat a poem. a handwritten poem*ceh ceh ceh ummar pemusik jalanan*
he called ummairah and read the poem to her (that he got from pakcik google, i guess. takde maknanya ummar nak compose sendiri) and suruh ummairah tolong tuliskan on a piece of paper and present it to mak kata dari anakmu yang jauh (Note: tulisan ummairah tak cantik). Ummar punya alasan; "tak cukup duitlah mak nak pos hadiah". yeah rite.

tu lah abang. kan ummar dah menang tanpa bertanding (hadiah ummairah tak kira sebab itu pelaburan seorang ibu jek). haih, sorry mak kakak lupa lah mother's day kat Malaysia. ~~kalau tak dah tentu hadiah kakak menang.~~

tapi yeah, kalau dibuang langsung perasaan cemburu, hadiah ummar memang sangat sweet kan? ditambah pulak dengan tulisan artistic ummairah dan bakar tepi-tepi kertas dengan lilin, lukisan ummairah yang lukis bunga macam ubat nyamuk tu, mesti macam sangat keharuan hati seorang ibu. small gestures yang sangat bermakna. benda-benda kecil tapi kalau istiqamah memang lebih bermakna dibandingkan dengan benda-benda gempak tapi once in a blue moon. istiqamah yea kawan-kawan, i.s.t.i.q.a.m.a.h, Allah suka tau :)

ummar, awak memang sweet lah. punya ciri-ciri seorang yang akan bergirlfriends ramai. ~~sila ajar abang sikit.~~

once again, happy mother's day, Pn Zaiton! sayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang mak thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much! *ok harap-harap tak jadi sangat annoying di situ. annoying sedikit takpe*

2009-05-06T15:53:00.000+01:00

I feel like i don't even have the time to go to the toilet(yes desperate measure, people!) as i need to finish off the two lab reports that are due this friday(yes TWO. satu is bad enough QWROTHKNFSJKL!)
just now, just as i was about to text my tutee to tell her that i could not come to teach her today due to my busyness state(irresponsible tutor, yeah guilty as charged T_T), i got a text from her saying that she needs a day off since she will have a math test on friday. Haaa. i can get off from being a bad tutor AND i do not have to go today.

Allah itu baik kan?
Dia Maha Mendengar segala permintaan hamba-Nya(even di dalam hati)
That is one of the many reasons why i love Him. He listens.
Thank You Allah :)

to fellow readers that would be sitting for their exams this week, next week, next next week or the week after(that's me! OMG!), good luck and all the best!
just do your best and let Allah takes care of the rest*wink*

Are we there yet?

2009-05-02T08:19:00.000+01:00

1. i hate finishing the piles of work. i will be feeling dizzy halfway thru it.
(in truth, i haven't started, at least not yet, but the thought of doing it alone has given me dizziness. hehe)

2. i always love bank holiday! but again, when it means an extra day for the weekend, who doesn't?

3. i am enjoying my work right now. the tutor thingy, i mean. the joy of giving knowledge and improving ones' lives are just priceless. so far, i am planning to stick to the teaching field after the graduation. lets see how far it goes.

4. is it just me, or do British really did almost every impossible things, in the name of charity? Going to Croatia with just GBP30, bar crawling a day before the lab, wearing pajamas to the lecture... you name it!

5. why is it when che det used this kind of 'numbering entry', it looks so cool but here, it looks like i'm being plain lazy?

a message on the wind

2009-04-28T06:50:00.000+01:00

i always try not to cry when thinking about you, but so far...
i failed.

my eyes will swell with tears everytime you cross my mind. it had been 10 years... 10 independent years for me and hopefully 10 serene years for you. while reciting the Yassin for you yesterday, i just cannot help but recalling all of our memories together. the amanat that leave permanent mark on my heart (the most),

"selalu lah sedekahkan al-Fatihah kat cik nanti. cik takde anak. awak semua lah anak cik"

yes cik. i did what you asked me to do every night before going to sleep. religiously. hopefully, it did help you there.

almost everything here remind me of you. how can they not? you used to be my everything.
you were the one who sewed my torn clothes.
you were the one who taught me about colours.
you were my favourite chef.
you were there during my first period.
when i went back home from school, you were there. greeted me with good food. nobody else have ever asked me "how's school today?" but you. you would listened to my chatters while having lunch. about how siti lied to her mom or cikgu annie garang, or cikgu omar with his rotan or even kuku panjang mrs kong. you listened. and that is #168 on Reasons why i love you.
i took all that for granted then, but now, whenever i just feel like i need someone to be there for me, to listen to me, i will think of you. and i would whisper a little prayer for your happiness there.

here, everyone else is doing good. we are closer than before with mak and ayah. i talked to mak or abang or ummar whenever problems ensued. i talked to ayah whenever i miss you.
not that often nowadays though, sebab kakak nak cik bahagia kat sana.
abang has started working and so far, he has been better than good. i am currently pursuing my degree, and hopefully will be graduating with flying colours next year. ummar is now in MRSM PC. you do know that it used to be my school too, no? ummairah is well... being ummairah. still. she is now in Standard 6 and will be taking her UPSR soon.
i wish you can see the four of us now so that you can feel proud with our achievements. i did not have the opportunity to make you proud when you was here before kan? hmph. that will always be one of my big regrets in life.

i need to get ready to go to the class now. i just want to ease my heavy heart by writing.
(this is what happened when you woke up too early)

i just want you to know that i never forget you. no, i never do.

al-Fatihah.

Me: "i love you!"
Her: "i love me too!"

really, can you blame the girl? XD

Global Warming? Who are we kidding?

2009-04-23T12:20:00.001+01:00

buat muka comel lagi. i have to write an essay regarding your sake kat artic tu tau!

i am being lied to but i have to make an intellectual, lengthy essay out of it?
dude, being lied to itself has proven that i am no intelectual, no? who are you kidding?*sigh*
will it be so bad if i were just to admit that i do not give a dang whether the global warming is caused by the human ke polar bears in the Antartic ke ice cores on the North Pole ke or even the Gulf Stream sekalipun... I JUST DON'T CARE. well, not anymore -_-

please Prof Ahmad Albab (bukan nama sebenar, of course. nak mati type nama sebenar kat sini? :P), just give me and my ignorance an excuse from finishing the assignment.

i have ceased to care about the environment two hours ago after figuring out that i have not even finish my morning cuppa of coffee because of the intense reading on the arguments (pros and cons) regarding the real climate. yes, dear readers. her morning cuppa of coffee is more important than all the fuss about the climate issues. objection, anyone? *sambil memberi pandangan yang paling tajam yang dapat dibayangkan*

but, the silver lining behind this cloud kan, do not trust your media. you should know better than trusting it membabi buta. or else, it the end, this is the price that you have to pay. writing a scientific argument about it T_T

owh and for those yang have little/no idea about my rambling today, please do feel free to check this out:

a video summarising the whole fuss about the global warming propaganda.
(takpa jangan paksa diri anda untuk menonton for me. who are we kidding, anyway? that video is over an hour pun. watch if and only if anda berniat untuk menambahkan ilmu di dada. chewah)

ok, back to the essay.

saya Sabriza Hassan melaporkan.

that is so brrrrilliant!

2009-04-21T13:53:00.001+01:00

it is a beautiful day :)
the sun shines, warm and inviting.
the birds chirping(ok tipu. takde dengar bunyi gagak sekalipun sebenarnya)
i love sunny days! ~~sebab boleh lah keluar pakai shades macam glamour sikit~~ the sun brings positive vibes to the atmosphere kan? it is just the perfect day for social gathering(picnic sebenarnya. saja nama nak gempak sikit), a day out under the sun memang a not-to-be-missed!
that reminds me, BBQ anyone?*budak ni memang suka menjemput diri sendiri ni*

i think i will go shopping today. and after that, hitting the cafe with a cuppa of coffee while watching the world walks by sounds so heavenly wonderful(cheh, gaya elaboration macam Breakfast at Tiffany's sahaja. ingat sabriza, money does not grow on trees)

owh and speaking of trees, i sent my Rory(my potted rose plant) outside today. biarlah dia enjoying the sun while she can. i am so sorry Rory that i neglected you for almost two weeks during my absence before. memang you are a survivor lah still hidup eventho no watering for two weeks. ~~dan saya langsung tak consider kamu before going tu.~~ i will take better care of you, my sole provider of oxygen in the room. just watch. environmental-friendly sasaran kita!

owh and speaking about environment, have it ever crossed your mind Anthropogenic global warming i.e. global warming is caused by the human is only a political propaganda? YES, it is (surprisingly) true! (to some extent.hehe). i am currently researching on the scientific evidences regarding the issue and it is just so... eye-opening. how all the politikus manipulate our mind with us being oblivious to it. tsk tsk tsk. terasa betapa illiteratenya diri ditipu hidup-hidup dan secara besar-besaran pulak tu. tapi yeah, fear not. you still did the right thing trying to reduce your carbon footprint tu. if it is not you, siapa lagi akan buat betul tak? :)

p/s: adakah muscle di pipi anda akan cramp kalau anda cuba untuk tersenyum bila terserempak dengan orang lain. SENYUM KAK/BANG SENYUM. ke i kena bayar to see you smile? hmph, kalau macam tu takpelah. baik i beli handbag! :P

ok scary lah. sabriza is updating her blog like twice a day camni. this is a sign that examination is just around the corner. asal nak exam je budak ni mesti buat perangai. tsk tsk tsk.

walaupun kami tiada lesen moto

2009-04-21T02:03:00.000+01:00

inilah golden dream kami...

depan tu ada police road block tu

jom jom!

rakan seperempitan. kenapa? tak percaya?

amni menunjukkan her rempit side

saya in action

muka-muka kami yang telah tercapai golden dream untuk menjadi minah rempit on temporary basis:

"pakcik menang moto", kata mereka

on a different note, facebook can be quite annoying nowadays eyh? all the quizzes yang tahap ada some of the users ambil sampai 60 kali sehari tu memang menyemakkan. one quiz per day, bottomline dude!

p/s: still tak beli lagi hadiah for ummar's birthday. something big, expensive and tasteful(like he requested -_-) . susah lah cari hadiah untuk lelaki. suggestion anyone?

egypt: macam-macam ada!

2009-04-20T16:56:00.001+01:00

*sambil membersihkan sawang-sawang kulat lumut serta cendawan di blog sendiri yang dah lama dibiarkan*

i am craving for chocolate chip cookies on this sunny, beautiful day. anyone willing to bake a batch (or two or three, lagi banyak lagi bagus), pretty pwease?

and so life has been thrrrrrilling! went to egypt and back (in one piece, alhamdulillah).
Amni has been a very very warm travel companion and we both have sooo much to talk about that the ten days were just not enough (heh, mengaku je lah dua-dua banyak mulut). Amni got herself a new pet bro, Salman as early as the flight from London to Cairo tu. hahahaha. Salman sungguh comel tetapi sangat hyper. Ganggu kawan-kawan bangun duduk keluar masuk seat je kerjanya. memang tak reti duduk diam budak ni tsk tsk tsk sambil meminta every extra food possible daripada steward/stewardess tu.

Egypt is awesome!

i made new friends;
thanks dayah mufidah naneng yam ipah for accompanying us jalan-jalan kat Alexandria. rugilah kami tak sempat jalan-jalan Mansoura sangat.
owh Ustaz Mat, Ustaz Mi, Ustaz Malik and Ustaz Khairul pun kira new friends lah kan? lupa plak. hehe.
special thanks to Ustaz Nordin and Kak Nah and Tok Ma and Nabihah yang comel gila macam buah apple.
korang memang terbaik! :)

Pyramid is magnificent! Memang in awe the first time i saw it. and terus berlari-lari ke pyramid sebab excited dah ada depan mata benda yang selama ni nampak kat TV/newspapers/posters jek tu.

yaay yaay! dah sampai!

Naik unta? ahaa, done that! ;)

"red socks rock, dude!", kata amni (sila besarkan gambar jika anda ingin memahami erti motto hidup amni ini)

We went hiking kat Sinai (yang historical gila rasa macam nak menitik air mata).

university al-azhar? been there!

sejuk hati mak mertua tengok ;)

seeing egypt dengan mata sendiri, made me grateful and intimidated at the same time. thank You Allah for the lessons learnt.

despite the language barrier yang memang agak menyekat di sane(especially untuk shopping @$@!$%^), we enjoyed the trip nevertheless.

nanti lah banyak cerita sebenarnya pasal muntah dalam flight, pasal chewing gum kat seat kereta ustaz mat, pasal tok ma dan leterannya dan sham al sheikh tapi nantilah
(sesungguhnya penangguhan itu indah)

till then~
;)

sampaikanlah walaupun sepotong ayat

2009-03-26T00:15:00.000Z

To be a good conversationalist, you have to be attractive. betul kan? by this i mean, bukanlah seharusnya orang kacak bergaya lawa gorgeous jek yang boleh fall into the category. prejudice lah pulak kan? racist rupa nampaknya. attractive di sini adalah bermaksud awak is an interesting person (awak IS? Owh, kesalahan yang amat besar di situ 0.o).

to be an interesting person pulak, tak perlulah dia adalah seseorang yang pernah pergi volunteering di Zimbabwe, meredah hutan Amazon, naik unta kat Egypt(ahaa, going to do this sooooon! insyaAllah), be an activist membela nasib penguins yang affected by the global warming and yada yada yada(walaupun sangat rock di situ kalau tiba2 ada orang yang dikenali macam ni). *kalau ada kawan macam ni, tolong kenalkan kat i eyh? nak jadi kawan dia jugak lah! ;)*

interesting person is just seorang yang lead a normal life tapi making his/her story interesting kepada pendengar untuk diambil iktibar. benda sehari-harian. yang tahap pagi pergi Morrison's buat grocery shopping, petang pergi kerja, malam buat tutorial, esok pagi ada class. you know, normal stuff(okay walaupun doing tutorial tu agak luar biasa di situ. jarang sebenarnya rajin sebegitu) ;P i love listening/reading/watching about ordinary people living an ordinary lives begini tapi still ada banyak moral of the story. effect mendalam sikit*at least we know that they are real! >.<*

memanglah cerita pemenang Nobel prizes adalah forever inspiring, tapi cerita-cerita itu kurang relevan dengan keadaan semasa. lain lah kalau ada orang IQ 350 and above sedang membaca ini(IQ tinggi-tinggi buat apa baca bahan bacaan picisan ni?! pergi baca encyclopedia sekarang!), saya minta maaf. baik lah cerita pasal pemenang pertandingan lari dalam guni hari sukan sekolah. how he strive hard to succeed, dah jatuh bangun semula. tak kisah hujan panas ribut petir. the joy of winning. the feeling of really achieving something tu(in this case, medal johan hari sukan peringkat sekolah lah kan? sungguh rendah benchmark itu -_-!). how priceless... kan ke lebih moving gitu?*sambil menakung air mata teringat kembali detik-detik manis menang pertandingan melukis semasa darjah 4*

OMG ada lab esok! !@#*&^%$#$ terlupa!! ok gtg now, bubbye!

p/s: kenapa sepotong ayat eyh? bukan sekerat atau sebaris? ke i yang salah penjodoh bilangan?

yang semakin nyanyuk,
-sabriza-

Down the memory lane

2009-03-21T23:00:00.000Z

i stumbled upon my bro's blog today. thanks to pakcik google, you are busted, bro!*sambil buat peace gaya n*gger* ok u might have told me about the link, tapi yeah, manusia lupa. now that i have bookmarked it, tengok lah apa kakak akan buat to annoy you there plak. just wait and see*smug*

how come blog abang sangat bergaya that he even has his own domain and layout yang very the classic(i know. the grammatical error? purposely done. sila jangan tegur). abang tolonglah educate adik tersayangmu ini(pandai2 sendiri lantik diri jadi tersayang) how to change the layout of her blog. kakak bukan setakat nak guna template blog lain, i want total complete full makeover(haa, amik kau. over plak redundancy). for a student yang actually took a course on HTML, CSS, FTP and bagai, sabriza adalah sangat... unique, no? let's just say that she is a breath of fresh air. leave it to that XP

i saw the world from a different point of view today. i did, really. it was the strangest thing. rasa macam i have changed my pair of lenses and glasses sedangkan in reality, i did none of that. owh well, whatever it is that makes me see world differently ni, hopefully it stays. welcome aboard perasaan tenang! hope you have a pleasant stay :) betullah. when the solution is simple, Allah is answering. alhamdullillah.

have you been in a dilemma yang macam taktau nak pilih mana satu tu? tentang either doing the one that you really really want or doing the one that is right? if so then, consult your heart. follow your instinct because deep inside, you already know what you should do sebenarnya. you are just too afraid to realise it(tapi itu kalau hati awak hati bukan yang species hitam legam sampai takde nur iman sepicis pun lah kan)

Diversity creates humanity. betul sangat. hopefully i will be able to not only accept the fact that people are different tapi meraikan the uniqueness jugak. i mean, dah kalau semua orang beli baju coral pink kat Zara, then tak adillah baju olive green and reddish brown terbiar bersawang kat shelves, betul tak? kena lah ada orang yang minat jet black jugak, blood red lagi, baby blue, sugarcane green dan sebagainya(okay diam kau sekarang. tak payah nak describe colour dengan lebih jelas sebegitu rupa)

note to ummar: kakak just got back from Manchester tadi petang for my usrah thingy, so did not have the time to buy you anything for your birthday lagi lah ummar. i am so sorry, but i'll definitely buy you something and post it to you. something big, expensive and tasteful(like you requested) -_- materialistic punya adik. tsk tsk.

(i punya flow of the story dalam entry kali ni adalah sangat fail kan? paragraph dah lah tak coherent antara satu sama lain, it's a wonder lah you tak flunk your IELTS sabriza)

p/s: i tiba-tiba rindu ayah after reading abang's blog. will call him first thing in the morning esok lah, insyaAllah.

Later note: OMG, SAYA LUPA POSKAN HADIAH MOTHER'S DAY KAT MAK!! tu lah akibatnya excited beli awal sangat T_T

still searching for the silver lining behind these clouds

2009-03-10T19:23:00.000Z

i mengantuk...... i am in the IC right now konon-konon nak siapkan kerja yang dah behind the schedule(yang btw macam tak reti-reti nak abis ni !@#$%^&*) tapi mengantuk pulak. haih, syaitan yang direjam. pergilah kacau orang kat depan ni yang dari tadi lagi tengah buat mathematical economics apetah. jangan kacau i dah(kamu dengki ke sabriza?)

i earned my first salary as a tutor today. the feeling? urgh, priceless! handling the money that you earned lain rupanya rasanya dari dapat duit sponsor. hehehe. baiklah, saya berikrar untuk lebih menghargai duit from now onwards!*angkat tangan berikrar*

on the other hand, minggu ini adalah antara the most stressful week that i have encountered so far(and it's only tuesday!). buckle up, sabriza! the worst is yet to come -_-!
dealing with friends, kerja, assignments segala makcik courseworks and the committee pun boleh buat kita nak pengsan kan? itu tak kata lagi tiba-tiba ada pulak friend for benefit tiba-tiba buat sugar-coated sweet terlebih. tolong jangan buat-buat sweet sebab nak something in return boleh tak? ada udang di sebalik batu sungguh. kalau tak selama ni buat bolayan jek T_T
(alamak. dah berjanji dengan diri sendiri tak nak mengata kat blog tapi termengata jugak. takpe nanti raya minta maaf XD)

susah kan kena pura-pura kuat and keep living nih? kena berjasad seorang survivor sungguh. takpelah...*sambil terus berpura-pura kuat*
steady feet, don't fail me now!

siapa-siapa ada masa lebih tolong bagi kat i sikit boleh? nak suruh i bayar pun takpe(kata baru dapat gaji pertama. gahahahahaha*gelak bangga*). waktu-waktu yang macam ni, by that i mean waktu-waktu yang hanya Allah sebagai tempat bergantung ni, mestilah rasa macam ada inner crisis kan. ada lah tiba-tiba wujud dua suara hati(kadang-kadang tiga) yang boleh pulak berbicara/berdebat sesama sendiri sehingga kepala jadi pening dan OCD untuk melipat duvet dan all the blankets dengan straight macam guna pembaris pun datang. Monica sungguh lah! >.<

p/s: dah lah ada orang annoying yang cakap telefon kat IC ni dari tadi duk bubbye, bubbye tapi tak letak-letak lagi phone tu. gayut dengan girlfriend lah tu. 80x bubbye dah pastu ketawa-ketawa. letak phone tak jugak. pfffft. meh sini nak tolong tekan button end call meh!*alamak, grumpy kenapa? old spinster sungguh kamu*

btw kan, orang yang duduk 2 o' clock dari i, scarf dia cantik sungguh!*bimboness terlebih tiba-tiba*

macam lah masalah kamu paling besar kan?

2009-03-08T23:34:00.001Z

*jatuh pengsan*

MAHU BALIK MALAYSIA!!!!! (-_-)

exactly my sentiment!

2009-03-04T17:45:00.000Z

saya tak boleh lama-lama di blogger hari ni. just need to get this off my chest right now, right here:

Erdogan, i salute you!*tabik hormat*

ok gtg, sape yang tak kenal Erdogan, sila tanya pakcik google Erdogan Turkey Prime Minister Davos sekarang. sepatutnya jumpa berdasarkan keywords yang diberi.

catch up with you later!

annoyingly adorable

2009-02-26T23:20:00.000Z

Hahahahaha XP
annoyingly adorable btul lah dia ni kan kan kan?
(cheh sabriza. itu pun terhibur)

owh btw, semua orang kena datang Weekend at Sheffield this 14th and 15th March tau. Saya work hard utk ini. undilah saya eyh silap. supportlah saya dgn datang meraikan event ini. kalau bawak hadiah lagi bagus*dgn boldnye meminta-minta*

Tak baik lah mengata orang!

2009-02-19T19:26:00.000Z

"awak awak...awak suka pink tak? saye suke!" *buat muka comel and mata butang*
LOL. tak faham? takpe. inside joke.

Life has been uninteresting.
i have been making precipitates and solutions the whole day in the inorganic lab; trying to differentiate different isomers using just their appearances(ie colours). differentiating pink salmon and persian pink, lavender pink and coral pink and lots of other pink that will make normal people to wish that they are indeed deuteranopia*mata berkunang-kunang sebab tgk all sorts of pink the whole day*
korang mesti tak percaya with the many shades of pink that actually exist in this world. it was too much(and this is coming from a pink-lover) XP
pasni mesti macam kalau ade orang suruh jadi image consultant tak bergaji,
"do you think pink goes well with me?"
"errr...which pink, exactly?"

and pink-lovers, from now on, you should be more specific when saying that you like pink.
is it tea rose pink, or cherry blossom pink, or carmine pink, or fuchsia, or......*pengsan sebab kena baling kasut*

and the puddle says it all

2009-02-16T08:43:00.001Z

you know you are not thinking straight when you bought three movie tickets but went home after watching only one.

you know you are not thinking straight when you ride the tram all the way to its terminal station.

you know you are not thinking straight when you went to the mall wearing sweatpants that you wore for netball practice.

you know you are not thinking straight when the world around you is very much alive, revolving, but you are still there, sitting and doing nothing but staring at the jaywalkers.

yeah, i am miserable. i am not thinking straight. please Allah, let this be an only short phase of my life. a very short one. pls.
____________________________________________________________________

okay, abaikan nukilan rasa di atas. it feels good to let that out. sabriza wants to get her head sorted out for her. pretty pweease?(cheh gelilah cakap pweease)

so, life has been unpredictable. i went skiing last weekend. and yeah, predictably(for this part), i'm having fun! sape yang tak rase the trip was fun, sila cekik diri masing-masing sekarang.

jgn tertipu. kami bukanlah seangelic ini. ini hanyalah gambar skema kami.

our sisterhood jumpers.

arome, sorry for uploading this pic. inilah gambar terbaik u. sumpah! yang pics lain, macam teletubbies pun ada XP

and for this weekend, i went babysitting. tapi unfortunately lupa lah nak bawak camera(macam orang nak tgk sgt je pics kau).

life is a chaos right now, sorry for any inconvenience.

the unresolved issue

2009-02-11T00:56:00.001Z

F.R.I.E.N.D.S are the best kan?

high and low, ups or downs... they share the sorrow, they double up the joy.

For this bit and that, i heart you guys.

*heh emo nampak cik sha kite*

blueek! :Pgroup hug skit*hug*

having Someone who cares

2009-02-05T02:14:00.000Z

just finished baking chocolote brownies with aishah. it's funny somehow how the days passed with kai chiat were full with oats, cereals and sweet corns and with aishah plak it will be something like chocolate brownies, cakes, chicken and more cakes (not that i'm complaining :p)

yeah it's 2.30am, i know. well, izlin had her fair share of somniphaty, i might as well get mine lah pulak lah sekarang.

First of all, sorry abang because i totally ignored your calls*percayalah adindamu ini tidak sengaja* it's just that the phone was in another room dan asyik-asyik everytime i checked the phone akan ade like 7,8miscalls dah. sorry ye bang.

owh and sheffield IS snowing!!!!!

snowman ini mempunyai mata tomatoes, hidung carrot, and all the buttons(kat badan mr snowman) are made from gingers. cool kan? pasni boleh masak tomyam. :p

yeah i know, kejakunan terserlah kan? but wth, berapa kali dalam 10years lah sheffield akan snow kan... memanglah agak perak sedikit(sikit je). tapi sayang, the snow came time i tengah exam plak. heh. haraplah ade lagi secubit snow time after exam. jamie had asked me to be in his team dah for the snow fight. yeah... bring it on, baybeee!(owh terlebih excited di situ. kena maafkan. jakun baru jumpa first snow). owh and what's wong with all this british ha? asal nak celebrate birthday je kna gi minum-minum. cubalah gi picnic ke(eyh menariknye!), gi fine dining ke, gi picnic ke, gi picnic ke... asyik minuuuuuum je bosanlah. tak menarik, bosan dan serabut. sorry lah pada korang yang rasa party itu sangat fun, i am just not a party animal. i hate celebrating new years, halloween and the sort. yang perlukan very big crowd, with bau alcohol yang akan hydrogenly bonded with the water vapour in the atmosphere sampai...*okay sabriza the chemist dah datang. cepat lempang saya, cepat lempang!*
PANG!!
owh and yeah, where am i just now? the party, yeah!(dah normal balik lepas kena lempang). the reason i tiba-tiba mentioned pasal party is because natalie birthday's is coming. haih. bosan lah buat cara lain lah pulak natalie. last year kat situ jugak. sama jek(heh blog dalam bahasa melayu so takpelah kutuk kamu :p)

on a different note, ummar is offered a place in MRSM PC! how cool is that? owh my old, beloved muacks muacks school!(cheh, over!). MJSCPC changed me a lot, so i hope, it will change you too, kay ummar kay? :) not that i desperately want you to change lah kan. i love every bits about you lah ummar gemuk. i'm talking about the future. waaaaay ahead*sambil buat muka orang yg penuh dgn missions and visions*
tapi kakak salutes you lah, i mean, you really want the 'wind of change', don't you? you applied for MRSM PC eventho you know that none of your MRSM KKB friends wants to go there. heh, takpelah ummar. kat sane you'll make lots and lots of new friends*and kalau bukan orang pun, all the cats kat sane mmg sangat annoyingly comel. so seriously, don't worry*

owh yeah, and the other day, while i sangat serabut dengan preparation for my organic chemistry, i just felt kinda like... grateful. Grateful to God as i was born a Muslim, and still, a Muslim. i have SOMEONE up there to listen to me during my lowest point(okay maybe not lowest. but it totally masuk dalam top100 of the lowest lah) of my life. while i'm watching my atheist and not-so-religious friends of mine struggling and mind-boggling and hyperventilating for our next paper, i can still smile(sebab baru habis solat and doa) eventhough i pun memang kurang sangat-sangat preparation for it. He listens and He grants wishes. For that, Alhamdulillah. Thank You, Allah. So, remember dear readers, for everything you have, for everything you do, Allah is always there for you. ALWAYS(He never sleeps kan). So... How many times have you said your share of Alhamdulillah today? :)

*okay tanaks dah start new paragraph. better to leave it here. till then, kawan-kawan!*

snowy flakes are softly falling

2009-02-02T01:28:00.000Z

asal time exam jek i dengan istiqamahnye akan update blog eyh? tgk lah tu almost everday mesti ade je new entry(almost everyday ke mmg everyday? :p)

owh and btw, jika anda seorang lelaki, anda tak perlu teruskan membaca. terus pangkah window ini. entry kali ini mempunyai bahasa isyarat dan kod-kod rahsia of the Eve population.

i wore my new grey wide-leg pants today! i have been dying to wear the pants ever since i bought them two months ago. personally, i think wide leg pants sangat hotness lah! yeah, it's baggy lah, unflattering lah yada yada tapi takpe takpe. try it on dulu. i bet you will see the difference ;)

tengok tengok, kan sangat hot begitu? okay, tak adil. sebab model tu memang hot dan the white shirt left little to imagination plak kan... ;)

takpelah kite semua kan perempuan. tak kisah pun! *sambil ketuk-ketuk dengan kasut lelaki-lelaki yang masih teruskan membaca*

i wore the pants with my boots, but still, i tak sure lah if it is the right thing to do. buruk tak eyh korang? i cannot wear it with chunky wedges right now(tengah-tengah winter ni orang gila pun tak pakai slippers)

sebab tengah tiba-tiba je angin (konon-konon)fashionista sekarang kan, mari kita mengumpat sebentar*sambil pandang kiri kanan depan belakang nak check line clear*
korang pernah tak nampak lelaki yang pakai cincin batu besar besar ada warna merah biru hijau hitam kuning dan semua kaler yang ada dalam spektrum pelangi tu?
well, i don't like it >.<
macam cincin pawang. tolonglah. hmph.

apa kesimpulan yang anda dapat daripada entry kali ini? :P

foodonisme

2009-01-31T20:19:00.000Z

i love food. that is a fact.
i appreciate food. i love making food. i love eating food. i love, even, looking at food. you know, when you just gotta take a break from studying/working where you would be googling for food images on the net(owh you guys dont do that ah? ok i pelik)*sambil larikan diri menyorok balik couch sambil makan chocolate*

i love the fact that we can materialise food from scratch. i mean, yeah, just using some flour, eggs, butter and sugar, u will get a nice home-made butter cake*you get the idea lah kan? takkan lah i nak tulis full recipe siap dgn sukatan sekali kat sini plak*

i never think the time wasted in apron is a waste of time, afterall. going to the kitchen(even during the exam period) is crucial for living. you are making decent food kan? so, why not? lagipun nanti awak masak awak jugak makan kan? plus, dapat bagi kawan2 makan lagi pastu kawan2 yang nak exam jugak pun senang hati pastu kawan2 tu pun doakan awak supaya murah rezeki. isn't that a good thing? :)

i will become indecisive when it comes to food. i cannot choose which one will i prefer the most, nasi lemak or laksa penang during an outing on one hot,sunny afternoon in one of my favourite stalls in Malaysia. The problem is, i love them both! Kalau you tanya i sekarang, maybe i akan jawab laksa penang is my favourite food. esok plak i akan jawab choc chip cookies, lusa it will be fish and chips. see? dengan random fluctuation sebegitu, the trend does not shows any consistency. at all! so i selalunya akan dengan jujurnya jawab, i eat a lot of things. i eat almost everything. as long as it's pleasant for my taste bud, it would be fine(owh silap. fine to degree of agreement dier kecik. it would be great! marvellous, fascinating!*tiru jenny*)

satu lagi, i prefer hot food. do not get me wrong. i still eat cold food(kan i dah kate i makan almost anything) tapi do not expect me to give my compliments to the cook. Sebab cold food tu kan macam sangat mudah je kan? Macam susah sikit lah i nak bagi markah untuk effort di situ. So, whenever u guys serving cold food to me, do not ask wether it's delicious or not tau. nanti bila i awkwardly jawab "boleh la" nanti mesti dua-dua pun rasa tak best. *Cold food tu ape? Tak tak. bukanlah! cold food does not means makanan yang diletak dalam fridge sahaja.* Contoh-contoh cold food yang boleh difikirkan sekarang ialah sandwiches, salad, simple pasta etc(u get the idea kan). the food that consumes more time to prepare tastes better. everytime.

just imagine yourself in the middle of winter, tengah penat otak baru habis baca notes satu chapter, having a backache sebab duduk kat study table lama sangat, tak ke a generous plate of hot nasi goreng ayam sounds more delightful than cold baguette. or pasta. kan kan kan?*ok korang suka pasta. tukar ke sandwich lah kalau macam tu* best kan nasi goreng tu? best kan?

eyh ok lah. now, i'm hungry(sebab cakap pasal food) xP

Recipe for cooking my notes...anyone?

2009-01-29T22:46:00.000Z

Partial Molar Volume? ape tu? tak penah dengar pun!
adoi, tercedera otak..

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, i am so doomed! die die die.

orang yang dah abis exam jangan sibuk. gi main jauh-jauh. tsk tsk tsk.

*mode ade physical chemistry paper esok*

i rather did this than studying.heh.

2009-01-23T10:17:00.000Z

i think i have gone crazy.

recently, when bringing hot water to the study table, i will try to consider putting it in the most thermodynamically convenience spot on the table. i mean, the spot where the water will be reaching its thermodynamic equilibrium with its surroundings the latest. and i will consider about the molecular vibration of the water molecules and the affect it has on the high-temperature polymer of the tumbler. i will have the inner monologue with myself about should or should not, to leave just a tiny bit of the lid opened(you seriously dont want me to explain about this further kan? xP)

owh and whenever i heard the word milk now, i din think of protein anymore. well, let me rephrase. i will not think about protein solely. i mean, i grew up in a household that equated milk to protein. "drink milk, it will help you grow bla bla bla". well, you know what? that maybe true. BUT, only to certain extent. protein is soooo much more than that. all the folding and the structures and the functional roles and the Gibbs Energy of it leave me in daze*pengsan*
so whenever you heard the word milk now, never think of it as a source of protein again, okay?(or if you are fanna, you should quit all the XXX rated ideas that came across whenever you heard the word milk. or egg) :p

yeah i know. geeky kan? well, proud of it(kot)

worse, my hormone is screaming! hows that?

but to look at the bright side, well at least i dont have to celebrate my raya in the examination hall. poor kai chiat... her CNY is a day before our first paper. alalalala..*sambil pat kepala kai chiat macam pet while eyes glinting evilly.haha*

haih... life is a roller-coaster*sambil buat muka cuak naik roller-coaster*

we should enjoy it nevertheless kan?*continue screaming at the top of the lung macam naik roller-coaster*

okay lah, apetah berlegar-legar kat sini. should start going now. last word, never make any next day delivery at 9am to my house. NEVER. it will ruin my mood for the day.
Chiao~

p/s: tolong bagi kata2 semangat pls. i need it*puppy dog eyes*

How intriguing the water is!! note the sarcasm

2009-01-21T23:30:00.000Z

okay, here it is. i have promised myself if i can finish up ~~understanding and memorising~~ reading and making notes out of Prof Pickup's lecture slides by tonight, i can be on Blogger for 40mins(yeah i know sangat tak rewarding sebenarnya tapi takpe. i am a dupe)
______________________________________________________________________

okay my 40mins starts now! YAAAAAYY!

did i tell you that my exam is just around the corner?
owh okay, well... my exam is just around the corner. Tapi biarlah. i will just pretend that the pushy exam will never come and i can still live idly at 15A Filey St.
I mean, seriously dude, whoever cares if the contact angle of the water is more than 90degrees?
i mean like "omg i dah buat tumpah coffee atas carpet! abislah carpet basah and nanti kotor! cepat2 ambik kain buruk utk lap. owh wait... how fast do i have to wipe the stain off dengan senangnye before the carpet absorb it? how much time do i have? lets calculate its contact angle with the surface ie the carpet. if it is more than 90degrees, then fine, i have plenty of time but if it is less than that, then i have to be quick as the water molecules have wetting properties..(but by the time i come to this conclusion the coffee has already dried)". end of the story.

okay lah enough of the whining*padahal dah satu paragraph complaint.hehe*
on a much happier note, my dad brought home a stray kitten that has the same personality like our late Sawi.*OMG tak sabar nak balik rumah to meet the yet-to-be-named klon Sawi. i rase i nak namakan dier Bayam lah. ok so random :p*
My mom forever complaining that she has to hide from him in her own home as he will chase my mom's feet dari sunrise till sunset till sunrise esoknya without even a hint of tiredness*yeah my mom tak suke kucing tapi kucing suka dia*

owh and as much as i love aishah as my housemate now, i enjoy the fact that Kai Chiat has to live with us for a while because her house is under renovation(i know, i know wth la kan renovate tgh2 time exam ni tapi leave it to Pakcik Sarangi utk menyusahkan hidup orang lain. eyh termengata plak. sori pakcik! i love you lah for giving me Kai Chiat as my temporary housemate :p). Bertiga lebih baik. hahaha. So Aishah and I have made it on top of our list to fatten up Kai Chiat during her short stay nih(and note: so far agak berjaya!). Yeah we need to make her fatter so that we wont be intimidated by her tallness and her size 6/8 dah. Gila busuk hati kan? I know >.<

On a much much much happier note, I made my own homemade noodles now! Yeah be green with envy, people. you heard it right! So i can leave longer now as i dont have to consume all the overdose boric acid mee. I made the noodles(with the help of Kai Chiat and Aishah, of course!) out of boredom ~~and sebab terliur tak terhingga tgk pics kat myresipi.com.~~ But but the noodles(name: Pan Mee) was white so after this ~~if and only if buat lagi~~ nak buat rainbow colours lah. See? Baru jek konon2 panjang umur sebab tak makan boric acid dah tapi pendek balik sebab all the emulsifiers and colour additives. hahaha.

owh okaylah. Time's up. Gotta go now. Mann's course is waiting. I might as well boil the book and drink the water kan? Atau mungkin juga buku masak asam pedas? Pffffft.
Cepatlah exam berlalu pergi.

have the winter bug got you?

2009-01-11T23:15:00.000Z

have the winter bug got you?

if not, warm yourself up. invest in buying some real winter warmers, jgn setakat pakai winter coats Made in China(yang btw bukannye semua tak bagus) yang harap lawa jek tapi langsung tak tahan sejuk. and dont be such a miser tinggal dalam rumah yang temperature dalam fridge pun lagi panas dari temperature rumah itu sendiri sebab taknak bayar bil gas mahal-mahal. takpe bayar bil lebih time winter, pengorbanan(jangan nak berdebat pasal nature's finite source plak. awak tu dah tak penah shut down laptop sebelum keluar) :p

stay fit, stay healthy for the exams keyh? wish you all the kerajinan and daya focus yang tinggi untuk study time winter yang gloomy nih.

pada yang dah abis exam, pegi ambik wuduk pastu bentang sejadah pastu solat hajat untuk kitorang semua.

walaupun nasihat di atas macam ibu Zulaikha sikit, tapi takpe. yang baik jadikan tauladan(ke teladan? anak Cg Ghazali, tolong!), yang buruk jadikan sempadan.

owh and i just need to wish him here(sebab i know he reads this rambling of mine and dia dah delete fs tapi takde fb pastu duduk dekat hulu selangor yang takde/very little coverage tu),
TAHNIAAAAAH!! I know you can do it!(tipu.padahal kakak cakap aritu kalau awak dapat 6A pun dah takpe.hahaha). Ummar memang terbaik lah!

Mr. Darcy as an intriguing enigma

2008-12-22T14:57:00.000Z

kesimpulan from the Chatsworth House(well-known for being Jane Austen's Pride&Prejudice movie prime location) trip:
(owh and btw sape yang tak kenal Jane Austen sila google makcik ni skrg. berani buat ignorant gitu!)

i made it a point to go to EVERY single toilets in and around the castle. As i have to make sure that me and Mr Darcy went to the same toilet when nature called. Fanciful? Yeah, i know. But what women dont?
Setting Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet aside, this castle is majestic in its own right! Bayangkan ade a roomful of books yg shelves dier tinggi dari lantai sampai ceiling. AND the book semua yang tahap classic hard cover atau cover kulit lembu tu. Takde satu pun buku paperback. Positive! Dah check dah(mesti sebenarnye tuan castle tu tak baca pun kan semua buku ni? Bukti: dalam library dier ade buku 'Ceramica History in Japan'. Tengok? mane ade org waras baca buku ni)
Berbalik semula kepada Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet. This castle was made for couples. Upon arriving pun kita dah dapat nampak bayangan diorg berlari-lari kat the garden sambil tgk the fountain and go for horse-riding. of course, literally. tak ke scary kalau nampak bayangan betul2 gitu?
Buat pertama kalinye korang akan dapat kenal Duke and Duchess of Devonshire kat sini. Kalau tak, mmg haram tak penah nampak muka la diorg tu kat depan public. Konon-konon leading the life of commoners la tu. Poodah! Cutleries pun real silver pls. Commoners ape. Kitorang sudu beli kat Morrisons jek.

Ok lah dah abis buat kesimpulan.

And of course, mesti la banyak amik gambar kan spjg trip tu. Afterall, a picture is worth a thousand words.Mr Darcy and i pernah share bernafas gune oxygen kat sini ok? ;)

lake yang digunakan dlm the lake scene in Pride&Prejudice(where Mr Darcy stripped off) *hahaha. gatal!*

tiada caption perlu diprovide. kate a picture worths a thousand words ;)

tp pemenang mingguan gambar2 poyo mestila ini:

hahaha. sama tak dengan patung blkg tu? sama tak? ;p

ok lah. esok kena gerak gi manchester sambut bina kat airport. Italy, France...here we come!!
Doakan keselamatan dan kesejahteraan kami yea? ameeeeen...

A letter to Northpole

2008-12-09T09:41:00.000Z

Dear Santa,

i have been a very good girl this year. So this is my wishlist for Christmas this year:

i wish that i can just delete my problems by pressing a 'Del' button somewhere.
i wish my problems can be easily thrown away macam kita buang sampah dalam bin pastu City Council datang ambik and then, GONE! without a trace.
i wish i can just store my problems in the empty drawer of my chest of drawers until they turn into pickles and then boleh makan2 dengan roti or spaghetti.
i wish i can buy solutions to my problems macam kita beli solution untuk contact lens kat pharmacy.
i wish i can have a Doraemon as a pet. My favourite animal (ie cat) with poket yang ajaib.

Thats all. Thank you Mr Christmas. I'll be waiting for you in front of the fireplace with cookies and milk.

Yours Sincerely,
Sabriza.

p/s: Dah jangan nk tinggalkan comment kata Santa tu karut la, murtad la sbb sambut Christmas. Lepuk kang. Sebelum buat pape, kaji dulu elok2. 15A Filey ni takde chimney pun. Santa tak datang nye.

owh btw, Eid Mubarak silent (and not so silent) readers! :)

Alaaaa... Murah je...

2008-12-08T22:41:00.000Z

Sape entah tanya i nak ape kan utk upcoming birthday aritu. there you go...(haaa..kan dah serik. lain kali jgn tanye.hahahaha) :D

Ini Kisah Benar

2008-12-03T20:48:00.000Z

Quoting,

"ehem..ehem nak pendapat saya ke..POMPUAN JGN PAKAI TUDUNG!..haha.
melainkan ada lelaki yg suruh...

Tudung bukan rukun islam. Rukun Islam ada lima. Jadi pemakaian tudung itu tidak di tuntut. Ada 5 dosa besar. Yg lain tu dongeng arab.

Itulah pompuan melayu tak faham..terikut-ikut dgn budaya arab tanpa faham. Kalau ada lelaki suruh pakai tudung, barulah pakai sebab tudung itu lambang submissiveness. "Suruhlah wanita kamu..."

Tudung bukan untuk menghodohkan wanita yg takut dirogol.Lagipun wanita arab tidak boleh keluar rumah tanpa lelaki. Di Malaysia undang2 ada, mana2 lelaki yg merogol akan disebat dan dipenjara! Allah tidak memaksa..lelaki yg memaksa pompuan pakai tudung.

Hijab lambang kepunyaan oleh lelaki.Pompuan yg menyerah akan menyerahkan tubuhnya, kebebasannya kepada lelaki yg mempunyai hak atasnya. Suami, bapa, wali etc.

Soal menarik pandangan soal kedua..kerana ada lelaki yg tertarik ada yg tidak. Tgk ikan mana yg hndak dipancing la..lain ikan lain umpannya.

Kebebasan pompuan arab dihad untuk memudahkan mereka dikawal. Mereka tidak dibenarkan membuat aduan dizina. Soal izin tidak timbul. Mana2 pompuan yg menuduh seorang lelaki menzinanya akan disebat 88 kali jika ketika dizina hanya dilihat oleh 3 lelaki yg lain. Hanya pompuan yg dizina depan 4 saksi lelaki boleh mengadu.

Sebab itu pompuan diminta submit sebagai tanda iman dan rela patuh pada peraturan2 ketat yg dikenakan.

wallahu alam bisawab.."

oowwhh...owwhh...rase macam nak kena heart attack lepas baca.
berani guna wallahu alam bisawab.. lagi tu. lempang sampai mati baru tau.
manu..sia ini...perlu...ke...tadika semula. pls. tapi tolong masuk tadika islam plak eyh instead of tadika2 private yang ade certification Smart Reader atau yang mengajar 3rd language pada kanak2 tu(cikgu tadika selain tadika islam jgn terasa. saya pun Tadika Taman Lion dulu)

saya...rasa...nak...melompat keluar tingkap dan menyanyi-nyanyi di jalanan sekarang di tgh2 malam winter ini kerana 'kerasionalan' pendapat ini.*owh silap!kena pakai tudung dulu sblm melompat keluar*

WARNING: selepas membaca entry ini, pandangan anda terhadap ice-cream akan berubah sebanyak 45degree angle. You will never be the same man again. ever.

mari kite adakan intellectual discussion di sini.

as a preppy chemistry student, it would be a crime for me to not to talk about this:

PETA Wants Breast Milk in Ice Cream

owh tidaakkk... sudah gilakah kamu? PETA ni nak kena masuk MRSM ni biar kena ambik course Critical Thinking dulu utk satu semester. tak waras langsung! sape nak makan ice-cream tu nanti?? even sepervert-pervert orang pun rasenye akan pikir dua tiga empat lima enam puluh lapan kali sebelum makan.
pikir lah dari sudut mana-mana pun, out of the box ke in the box ke under the box ke ia tetap kedengaran gila dan hilang akal tahap kronik. nak gune susu sape????????(ye saya faham. semua orang tentu akan tertanya-tanya). ade kilang ke untuk ni? sape yang kena kerja kat kilang tu? macam mane nak quality control all the milk? pastu nanti semua orang yang dah makan tu kena jadi saudara sesusuan la ye kalau dah makan smpai kenyang lebih 3kali? tak boleh kahwin dgn pencinta ice-cream jgk ke?

pastu kan kalau makan ice-cream ni nanti nak kena baca bismillah ke tak eyh dulu?*ok curious tibe2*

apelah... might as well buat teh tarik gune breast milk jgk kan, mamak? kurangkan risiko sakit jantung. tapi tetap lazat berkrim, disukai ramai.

*awak tanye nak gune susu siape?* entah lah. itu tanye mamak tu sendiri. hal2 rahsia perniagaan gitu mana boleh didedahkan sesuka hati. nanti restoran Wira Sejati tu pun akan tiru.

Owh PETA... tolong lah jangan jadi gila.............

p/s: haaa, kamu yang tgh makan Ben&Jerry's sambil blog-hopping tu... makan elok2 ye? milky tak ice-cream tu? ;p

Masa itu emas. tapi silence is golden.

2008-11-24T22:08:00.000Z

something to ponder,
how on earth did the old folks manage to survive 'a world without the internet' eyh?

yeah i know, they wrote letters and stuff taaaapi... kalau stkt nak tanye 'hello,how do u do?' pastu tunggu 3hari utk dapat jwpn yg mmg telah dijangka iaitu 'im fine,tq.n u?' tu tak ke siput namenye tu. komunikasi kurang berkesan langsung! sbb tu agaknye orang dulu2 kan tulis surat panjang2 camni pastu selit bawah pasu,

*cough cough*batuk sbb surat penuh dengan bedak.
"ke hadapan adinda zaiton(bkn nama sbnr) yg dirindui selalu, terima kasih di atas pemberian lauk ayam masak kicap semalam.....tut tut tut*parental advisory: explicit content*

p/s: adakah satu coincidence di situ krn ibu penulis juga bernama zaiton?*wink*
ok teruskan. jgn sibuk dgn surat cinta lama orang-orang tua.

patutla kan dulu-dulu kalau baca majalah Kuntum tu, sorang-sorang ahli kelab akan tulis hobi dia mengumpul setem, mengumpul setem, membaca, bermain chess atau mengumpul setem.
(tapi pernah terbaca kat majalah Kawan ade seorang abang yg sgt cool ni*bear in mind waktu tu sabriza hanyalah kanak2 naif berumur 9tahun* hobi dier adalah berpena. dan krn itu dgn rasminya telah melantik dier sbg ahli kelab Kawan yg paling cool skali!*padahal berpena tu pun tak faham sgt ape maknanye.sungguh pathetic dan comel sekali berumur 9tahun rupenye)

sekarang ni mesti lah dah penuh dgn budak2 yang kalau tanye hobi mesti akan jawab melayari laman web(ingatkan diri sendiri nanti balik Malaysia check majalah Kuntum current edition bahagian ahli kelab)

ok lah case study telah dibentangkan. so sila jawab soalan di bawah.

berapa lama anda online dalam sehari? adakah anda rasa seperti tinggal dalam gua jikalau anda tidak on9 pada satu2 hari tersebut?

jangan nak tipu sedapkan hati sendiri dgn mengira time online kat rumah yang penuh dgn adik beradik n parents. atau pun ketika berada di rumah yang tiada internet/ gune dial up yang lambat tahap kalau nak bukak homepage google pun boleh click pastu minum air basuh pinggan usik adik sampai menangis pastu baru dia siap loading. mmglah tak aci. itu satu penipuan.

p/s: maaf lah kalau kamu pernah jadi ahli kelab Kuntum suatu masa dahulu. takpe2 kamu tetap cool walaupun rambut ketika itu belah di tengah atau tudung lipat bulat atau rambut bentuk helmet.

........**entry yang dipublish gara-gara sejam depan lappie tapi tak buat ape-ape**........

tolong confiscate laptop i ni pls? kerjasama anda didahului dgn ucapan terima kasih.

an open letter to everybody

2008-11-19T18:35:00.000Z

if the truth is too painful to be heard, then pls, by all means, keep it to yourself. pls. you wouldnt want to disturb me now. i would rather live in denial. for the time being. pls. pls. pls. gimme some peace of mind eyh everybody? thank you.

p/s: i said pls, din i? and thank you too. so u wouldnt mind, would u?

2008-11-18T00:42:00.000Z

after blog hopping sampai mata jadi berkunang-kunang, here is what i get:
jeles btul la dgn all the poetic poets yang boleh rhymekan all their words to actually produce a masterpiece!

pernah tak you all terfikir, if you were not doing whatever you are doing today(slaving yourself for chemistry la cth paling mudah dan cikai skali), what will you do? what if your life has taken a different turn? a road that is less(or more) traveled.
ok sangat random penukaran topic di situ. abaikan. jika anda mengenali sabriza secara dekat, you should know better ;)

i pernah after SPM, teringin untuk take up hairdressing course. you know, childhood dream(tipu.waktu kecik kan awak nak jadi stewardess). if i were to pursue that till now, mesti i dah jadi hairdresser yang sangat berjaya dan gilang-gemilang and dieksport ke japan untuk jadi hairdresser Matsujun yang btw adalah sangat hot(sempat lagi tu). pastu hidup kaya-raya dan lonely sebab takut orang approach because of the money tapi masih bahagia kerana ade yellow Lamborghini and five adorable and gediks and gemuks cats. Pastu reaching 34years old(ha'a orang famous mmg tendency untuk jadi spinster agak tinggi), matsujun pun datang langkawi(hairdresser terkenal ni time tu tgh bercuti larikan diri dari paparazzi)*ape?Langkawi tak glamour?eyh,org cuti-cuti Malaysia la!* sebab nak jumpa and propose dgn sangat dramatic tapi terpaksa ditolak kerana belum bersedia owh bukan, sbb nak belajar lagi. hahaha(ok fine. lawak lame. alasan lapuk budak nak ambik PMR je boleh kan ummar kan kan kan? ;p ).

ataupun, worst case scenario adalah rupa-rupanya hairdresser bukanlah my destiny tapi terpaksa jugak teruskan perjuangan sebab 'agi idup agi ngelaban' so kerja kat barber yang dekat dengan rumah tu(nama Da Di Du ke apentah tempat ummar potong rambut kalau dah emergency sangat nak balik asrama pagi esok tapi rambut panjang takut ustaz roslan marah). Dah la tu satu-satunya barber yang ade air-cond kat Permatang Badak, so tetap jatuh kategori high-maintenance jugak kalau kerja kat situ. Pastu boleh jimat-jimat duit dan menabung sebab setiap kali lunch hour, boleh balik rumah makan mak masak. Bila duit tabung dah cukup, boleh ~~shopping banyak-banyak kat East Coast Mall~~ buat modal bukak saloon sendiri.

okeyh ni contoh panjang sebenarnye. Boleh je nak bagi contoh pendek tapi sebab nak melatih korang jadi speed reader. Point di sini ialah, pernah tak anda terfikir kalau you are not who you are today, who are you anyway?(hah, panjang soalan ni.confusing pulak tu.orang-orang yang stkt nak menghentam grammatical error kat ayat tu tolong tak payah jawab)

so hargailah apa yang anda sedang lakukan sekarang. Do your best and appreciate orang-orang sekeliling eg colleagues, coursemates, teammates . Kang kalau jadi barber kang tak kenal plak diorang-diorang tu. Dah mesti circle of friends adalah cashier kat Da Di Du dgn nyonya kedai gunting rambut depan Pokok Buluh tu.

Jangan sikit-sikit nak snap orang je. sikit-sikit nak backlash. jealous la tu. kang kalau i jadi hairdresser, i kahwin dengan matsujun tau nangis kesat air mata dengan calendar arashi(haa awak tu sabriza, jangan kata kat orang je. awak tu pun kena beringat*standard ayat mak*)

sebab i tak poetic macam orang-orang yang dijelesi di atas, maka mengcopy poem oleh Robert Frost ini(eyh ade kaitan la topic hairdresser dengan poem!)

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

bootnote: currently listening to Where Everybody Knows Your Name. Dengarlah! Very meaningful lyrics yang boleh help you to keep going kalau anda taking a 360degree turning point daripada jadi hairdresser(atau stewardess)

Do tell, part mane melayu dan jepun mempunyai kesamaan? apela yang dier dgr agaknye everytime dengar orang cakap BM?

abaikan entry ini jika anda bukan seorang yang caring. Jika anda seorang yang penyayang dan understanding, teruskan membaca.
Dan jangan lupe buktikan bahawasanya anda mmg caring dgn mendrop comment kata2 perangsang pada penulis. Dia tgh down sekarang kerana dia telah terputus hubungan dengan dunia luar+nobody's home+kena buat semua kerja2 subject kegemaraaaaannya yang perlu disubmit esok.
terima kasih kerana setia membaca.

Mak cik Virgin ni bengong jugak kadang2. Orang tgh penat2 balik lab konon2 nak rest kejap sementara blum start buat lab report ni, waktu tu la dier nak potong internet la, holdkan service TV la. Geraaaaaaam btul la. Dah lah dah lepas time office hour ni kalau nak deal dgn korang pun. Makcik Virgin btul la.

Dah la kalau call tu kena tunggu 8tahun utk korang pick up. Pastu 8tahun lagi utk pilih menu, pastu another 8tahun untuk tunggu customer service korang tu free and another 8years untuk korang sambungkan balik service. Total kepada tahun2 yang habis utk mengabdikan diri pada makcik Virgin tu kalau bina sekolah, dah siap 18bijik.

Dah hari tu bank account tu ade masalah, cuba la plak esoknye. Mmg kebetulan hari korang nak amik duit dari account tu la Lloyds cadang nak sabotage. Cuba je la lagi. Cuba lagi, faham? Tatau ke it took Thomas Edison berapa kali cubaan baru dier berjaya cipta mentol dgn jayanye? Haih, macam mane la korang nak maju.

Tengok sekarang, sbb kemalasan dan sikap cepat berputus asa korang, rumah ni plak yang jadi mangsa. Dah la tak dapat internet, phone pun tak boleh pakai. Pastu macam mane nak contact korang... MACAM MANE?? kate kalau busy, boleh tulis email. Cheh, nak email ape? Internet takde ni! Korang punye pasal la! Call our customer service konon.. Phone pun korang potong la! Pastu nak buat macam mane sekarang? Perlu tulis surat ke? Hah, elok2 tunggu 8tahun karang terus jadi 18tahun plak sebab nak tunggu surat sampai pastu nak tunggu balasan dari korang plak. Bencinye pada makcik Virrrrrrrgin!!!!

Dah terpaksa curi internet yang tidak diprivatekan oleh jiran sekeliling ni. Terima kasih jiran kerana membenarkan saya mencurinya sekejap. Pandai pun kamu dalam adab berbuat baik kepada jiran yang tak berapa nak berbakti ni.

tipulah 9degree C! sejuk je kat luar tu! yeke 9 gitu?

2008-11-11T13:44:00.000Z

owh how i hate the drizzle...(or mizzle or whatever it's called kat your place tu. dah jangan kacau i lagi pasal penggunaan word tu. i ketuk kang. i am trying to express myself here)

tapi to think of it, nasib baik Allah bagi hujan tu sebagai air(precipitation of water) kan? cuba kalau everytime hujan api yang akan turun... tak ke satu hal lain plak.

Praise be to Allah that knows things that we do not know. sape lagi yang ade terfikir nak buat hujan yang serba perfect ni?

*baru nak merungut tadi. tapi terus tak jadi ;)*
