it's my life

Bukit Bendera

2012-01-27T08:34:00.000-08:00

Penang Hill

Selalu je pergi Pulau Pinang. Aktiviti rutin tak lupa. Memancing. Selalunya tak dapat ikan. Cuti Tahun Baru Cina ni ada ong pulak. Dapat seekor, gelama. Oke la tuh. Pakcik sorang tu je yg suka benor memancing, kami tunggu tepi pantai sambil makan rojak Padeeeeeen~.

Saya suka rojak / pasembor !

Port Pancing

Kali ni jugak lah berjaya ke Bukit Bendera. Akhirnya... Dengan penuh kesabaran menempuh segala kesesakan lalulintas. Memang dah pernah pergi sebelum ni, tapi zaman kecik-kecik dulu. Dah tak berapa nak ingat apa yang ada kat atas sana. Tahun lepas ada singgah tapi masa tu Bukit Bendera masih dalam proses penambaikan dan ubah suai. Belum dirasmikan oleh Menteri Pelancongan lagi.

Tren dulu-dulu

Tiket nak naik ke Bukit Bendera - RM 8. Kalau tunjuk kad pesara dapat lah separuh harga. Kena pandai pilih hari. Kalau ramai sangat pun tak syok. Beratur panjang. Tak dapat nak menikmati pemandangan dengan sepenuhnya. Bukannya besar sangat kawasan kat atas tu. Agak dingin juga, al-maklum 720m atas paras laut. Lebih kurang lah.

Ada persembahan ular dan taman periuk kera. Promosi pada kain rentang tulis – Monkey cup – aka pitcher plant aka periuk kera. Tiket masuk taman tu – RM 5. Baru sahaja dibuka. Persembahan ular percuma je, kalau ambil gambar dengan ular baru dikenakan bayaran. Untung pergi sekarang. Baru diubah suai, jadi nya masih cantik dan terjaga. Bunga masih segar bugar.

Pulau Mutiara

Monkey Cup

Macam-macam bentuk ada

Ada restoran dgn nama omputih (tak pasti status halal nya, sekarang ni kena sangat berhati-hati bab makan luar – semak betul-betul status dan logo halal) , hotel dan rumah persendirian. Ada buggie ride, tak pasti nama sebenar tapi rupa macam kereta golf. Sewa dalam RM 30 sebuah. Bergantung pada saiz juga kut. Ada yg dua, ada yg lebih.

Pusing-pusing kejap je. Beli kacang rebus, lepas tu balik.

Ramai orang - Nasib baik tren ada aircond

Jumpa arca ni on the way balik . Menarik.

S.W.E.E.T tooth

2012-01-27T04:41:00.000-08:00

S W e e T o o T H

I’m not a sweet tooth person. But when I stressed out, I crave for sweet foods. Chocolate…cake…if none of those available, a packet of lychee drink pun oke (this is the case when I’m stress during office hour as there is no convenient or mini mart within my office).

Now, everyone is talking about cupcakes and macaroons. Most of them, I’m sure. I have my first macaroon on a friend’s wedding, recently (bukannya tak mampu nak beli tapi takde perasaan nak makan, takut manis sangat…tapi kalau dah free tu, amik je la kan~). There was a sweet corner, full with cakes, cupcakes, chocolate fountain, jelly beans and macaroons. Cute. Not so sweet. Yummy. Suit my taste bud very well.

When I went back to Melaka for Chinese New Year holiday, my cousin baked a chocolate cake in a cup – consider cupcake la ek, but without the heavy topping. There is something in the way she worked; looked as if baking is simple. Just throw everything in a bowl and mix. Didn’t take long too. Besides, she’s good in art. Very good. She can draw henna on hand in a blink of an eye - many in Masjid Jamek offer such henna art but not as magnificent and delicate as hers. So, decorating a cake sure is easy!

The recipe

Home made chocolate cake with splendid sakura deco for nenek cina

- I'm looking forward to try the recipe -

Mini Highland - Part 2

2012-01-27T04:30:00.000-08:00

Zaman kegemilangan tomato dah tamat. Tapi dalam banyak-banyak yg ditanam, selain tomato, prestasi petola juga tak boleh dilupakan. Ingat dah mati, rupa-rupanya ada lagi. Mungkin sebab jenis menjalar. Petola ni suka pilih ceruk yg tinggi pula tuu..

Kangkung tak payah cerita, memang ada je. Anggur? Sampai la ni belum nampak hasil. Putik pun macam hidup segan mati tak mau. Ntah dapat rasa, ntah idok.

Mini kebun - generasi kedua. Sekarang ayah…dan mak tanam sayur pak choy. Comel sayur ni. Tapi sawi tetap sawi. Saya kurang gemar – pahit.

Makan-makan

2012-01-19T16:52:00.000-08:00

Previously during my headquarter's days, Friday has always been my Jalan-jalan Cari Makan session - lunchtime. My favorite day of the week too ! I really enjoy the session. Together with my colleagues, we ought to choose places we are going for lunch, usually the place that we have never tasted before or the one that others have recommended for.

I do hope this makan-makan continues, either with my ex-colleagues or with my new colleagues. We can taste and comment each other's orders..and for girls, gossipping time of course :P .

My latest makan-makan was at Madam's Lim but unfortunately the menus don't suit me well (maybe i'm not just in the mood that day..huhu). I ordered Ribena Longan, turns out to be a surprisingly dark purplish colour drink (tasted more like grape rather than ribena)with longan. I only finished the longan.

However, my lunchtime at Hainan's Tea on the previous week was quite refreshing. Simple and comfy. Oke laa. Would love to taste the sandwiches, look delicious - next time eh.

Lunch @ Hainan

Mahalabia..

T . A . R . B . U . S . H

I've heard a few positive comments on Arab's food before. I'm looking forward to taste some, besides 'Nasi Mandy' as I'm quite familiar with that already. Recently, I went to Tarbush, which serves Lebanese dish, not Arab though. But oke jer. Still Middle East, kan..huhu :P

One main course, one kebab and one dessert (Mahalabia).

(erm..biasa-biasa aje, sorry)

EMPIRE

2011-12-24T10:24:00.000-08:00

Ish, it feels like ages since my last ronggeng. Juggling with all the studies and new scope of work, i think i'm not at my best performance, yet. But, i'm learning to manage and to plan time wiser. I want to. Must.

Since i further study, i realize how precious time is..especially on weekends..and is usually motivated when class is cancelled or during semester break too, huhu.

Today, i spent nearly 5 hours, maybe more..listening and preparing for EIA presentation. In the end, my group has to resubmit the report. wOw ! Have to ronggeng la afterwards. Manyak penin oo~

Took a brief tour at i-city. 2nd time. But this one during daytime. Just got to know that the entrance fee for daytime is RM1 and night at RM10. Very big difference. To cover the electricity bill meh?

Next, never been there. So, i dropped by at EMPIRE in Subang otw back. There are actually quite a number of people at the mall, surprisingly surpass my initial assumption. Done some shoppings and off to - The Loaf. First time. Delicious except one. Hazelnut Latte. I thought latte is drink related to milk. How wrong i was. It is actually coffee-based. And i dislike coffee. Oh noO~

Short notice escape to i-city

Apa laa yg dimenungkan pakcik baju merah ni..

The Loaf

Licin~

E for Empire !

KITA ENJOY !!

Choral Speaking

2011-12-24T08:58:00.000-08:00

Have been assigned for registration and performed choral speaking during annual dinner. My oh my..is it really me doing that?

A bit of commotion and delay during registration, of course (not because of me,i'm sure),huhu..Not to forget rushing to change for choral, performing the choral without insufficient functional mic and wearing dark glasses with Gaga's as the background song - not bad.

Our group didn't win, though. But we have our share of fun..erm, maybe not all. And guess what,i'm one of the lucky draw winners! Not grand prize,only No.7. Still happy..because as far as i remember, i've never been lucky in any draw before. Yeah~

The Choral Speakers

with Mr. Nice Guy + Sweet Girl Next Door

At the registration counter

Yup, Lucky Draw No. 7...i loike

Lots of improvement for next dinner. Be ready !

100 days...huh

2011-11-08T21:22:00.000-08:00

100 days. As if I’m a PM of a nation. Hehe.

30 days already enough, I think.

So, how have I been lately?

Very slow.

View from office - level 3

New place

• Further than previous office

• But time going out from home quite the same, huhu :P

• Hoping to punch thumb before 8 am (WP2) --> in my dream, musim hujan maa~

New scope

• Training vs Project Management...can i? Chaiyok!

New Director and BOSSes (KPPK, KPP, PPK)

• Immediately realize that the Director is a Kelantanese – ‘deh’ at the end of his sentence

• Always seek out for them early in the morning as they are very busy attending meetings after 10 am onwards

New management

• No punch card, here is punch thumb...or finger!

New workstation

• Still sharing, but it’s ok

• My roommate has helped me a lot, especially in setting up my pc and internet (the ICT officer)...now I can check my facebook, hihi :P eh, of course lah check office’s emel first - top priority!

My workstation

New colleagues

• Getting to know them...slowly, one by one, huhu~

• Quite a number of Timur’s people here – Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang

• They seem quite active with extracurricular activity too – coming soon is coral speaking for annual dinner and guess what...participation of Penolong Pengarah is compulsory, erks! (Nak turn back time mohon tangguh hingga annual dinner tamat, boleh tak?)

Everything has pros and cons. It is impossible to satisfy everyone’s need. You sacrifice something, you gain others.

Overall, everything here is the contra of me. I’m lacking in communication skill and I don’t involve in extracurricular activities. Aigoo.

I am here to learn as much as I could.

I am here to see how flexible I can be.

All the best for me~

Day 3 - Bako

2011-10-29T05:50:00.000-07:00

Kuching - Third Day

Our last day. Checked out from Pullman. Before that, swimming pool time~

But, we still have nearly 5 hours before departure after the check out. How will we spend our time till 11.00pm?

We went to Pasar Satok, again. This time to buy U.I.T.M aka ikan terubuk and kurau. Unfortunately, kurau only available during weekends. So, medium size terubuk, 3 for RM10. They are really good at packaging, let it be kek lapis or ikan masin. I should have took some videos of that (erm, next time..huhu).

Next is Bako. Earlier plan of just reviewing the surrounding and package available ended up as us sitting in on boat for a trip to Pulau Assam and Pandan Kecil. 30 minutes boat ride @ RM94/boat. You have to get more people for lower charge. We braved ourselves despite the warning sign with crocodile in it. And I totally forgot about having sea sickness..until the boat stopped at Pandan Kecil. Feeling dizzy..slowly~

Superb breathtaking view.

After circling Pandan Kecil, the boat dropped us at Pulau Assam. The location of Bako National Park headquarter. We just took a brief walk. We only saw one small monkey and one big boar. Not an interesting view, though. We did not see any Proboscis Monkey, either.

Last but not least, pictures at the famous Kuching statue and Kuching Waterfront for some souvenirs.

11.00pm. Bye-bye Kuching.

2.30am. Home sweet home.

Day 2 - Serikin & Waterfront

2011-10-26T02:14:00.000-07:00

Kuching - Second day

Day really starts early in Kuching. We had a wholesome breakfast, add on of RM46/pax. Whoaa, that was the main reason we ate nearly everything in the café till 10.00am (breakfast is from 6.00-10.00am). No lunch for today. Full already.

We arrived at Serikin at noon. About 1 hour 30 minutes of driving. Fast driving, I guess..because we have people telling us at least 2 hours is needed to go to Serikin. It was a sunny and hot day. Stalls were set up along the road, both sides. Mostly selling telekung and kain pasang. Quite a busy road too as vans, mini buses and jeeps kept coming in and out.

Reminder - its best to go to Serikin in the morning. If you do go at 11.00am onwards, don’t forget to wear shades, bring umbrella or hat, whatever as long as it protects you from the scorching sun. Wear simple attire ! You will be soak with sweat..urgh~

We planned to drop by to few caves on the way back to Kuching from Serikin, depended on the weather on that day. There are Gua Angin and Gua Pari-pari. Unfortunately, it rained. So, no cave-seeing..maybe next time (if there is a next time)~huhu.

However, it did not rain long. We managed to go to Tasik Biru. Not far from the junction to Serikin. Just a small lake with blue-ish reflection. There is a warning sign prohibiting people from doing any water activities in that lake since the arsenic level is high. The word arsenic alone has made me worried but I could clearly see children swimming happily at the edge of the lake. Local children, I can guarantee you. They may somehow build immunity to that arsenic stuff, I guess.

We ordered two coconuts to quench our thirst from one of the stalls – green and yellow coconut. We thought the green tasted better than the yellow one. But when the owner of the stall told us that the locals believe the yellow one contains more nutrients from the green one..each of us scrambled to the yellow one. Funny.

We went to Kuching Waterfront in the evening. There, we took a boat to Gersik, where most people bragged about buying delicious kek lapis. We found Dayang Salhah shop and immediately got a bite of every flavor. There were many flavors, from the original rempah/herba kek lapis until the modern one, to name a few, Cadbury and Cheese. I was so excited tasting the sample, I misplaced my camera. Oh, my precious CANON and all the pictures of us in Kuching. Okay, do not panic. Think calmly and search possible places. We were very lucky as the shop assistant found my camera..near the kek lapis sample. Tu laa, asyik sangat rasa kek lapis sampai lupa diri~ Thank you, dik !

Our dinner that night were sotong tukuk, nasi goreng dabai, mee kolok, butter prawn and two colourful drinks. I prefer the ribena and sprite combination, though.

End of day 2. Tired. Sleep sleep sleep. ZzzzZZz..

Day 1 - Satok & Kg. Budaya

2011-10-21T23:23:00.000-07:00

First day

It was Saturday. Woke up very early. 3.45am. Ready to go to KLIA. Solat Subuh and breakfast at KLIA. McD jer. Departure time was 7.00am.

As usual, the malas-malas feel was there. But the feeling soon faded as the airplane approaching destination. Subhanallah..the view is just magnificent. Kuching, here we come!

Shadow of our plane..cute eh

Yup, it was my first trip to Kuching. Touch down at 9.00am and we are ready to explore Kuching. We have no major problem finding our way to Pasar Minggu Satok..after making a few calls to our unofficial tourist guide, hehe. Pasar Satok is like Pasar Tani. Glamour because of ikan masin U.I.T.M – Usahawan Ikan Terubuk Masin, not Universiti Tekonologi Mara ok, we got confused also, huhu..People were selling lot of others too – fresh veggies, fruits, flowers, clothes, decorations, foods and one which I found very unique..tadaa

Ulat sagu

Terubuk Masin

We walked at Satok till noon. Ate Mee Kolok Sarawak and Laksa Sarawak for lunch. Then, check-in at Pullman, took a brief rest and rushed to Kampung Budaya to see the signature performance. There are only 2 sessions/day, 11.00am and 4.00pm. The GPS was not working great, so we use Gunung Santubong as reference as Kampung Budaya is situated at the foothill of Gunung Santubong. The entrance fee is just RM15 for student (you have to show your student card, so always keep it in your wallet). Save weh, normal price is RM60.

The performance lasted for nearly 45 minutes. The Dayak show (actually I do not know the exact name, sorry if it is incorrect) was the most memorable one. They have brilliantly insert comedy element in their performance. They are very good indeed in menyumpit as their aim towards the balloons never fails. Even the omputih guest can sumpit. I doubt I could.

Already paid RM60 maa - So, after performance we tour on ourselves at the Kampung Budaya. We can only look from outside as they have closed the house at 4.00pm, before the performance, I guess. We stopped here and there, taking lots of picture and posing2 :P. That was the best part, hahahahaaaa..

Stunning Gunung Santubong

Wow, it has been a wonderful day. Hungry already. What for dinner? Top Spot – Buttermilk prawn, sweet and sour crab, sea cucumber soup and kerang bakar. Total RM73 – RM76. Alhamdulillah.

INVINCIBLE YOUTH

2011-09-24T05:48:00.000-07:00

First of all, I’m not a K-Pop fan. But I love watching K-drama. The one with cute + pretty heroin & cute + handsome hero. As how Kuch Kuch Hota Hai breakthrough for modern Bollywood, then in my opinion, Fullhouse give the same effect for Korean. Both, which I will not get bored watching over and over again. Both, which make every girl & woman dream about such sweet and pure love relationship, including me of course.

But here, today..I’m writing about one of my favorites K-program – THE INVINCIBLE YOUTH ! It all started when…I was holding the remote on one weekend, changing from one program to another until I reached channel KBSW – 391 – Invincible Youth (erm, every weekend actually as I always conquer the remote whenever I’m around & always changing the channel..really get on the nerves of people at home). I watched the program till the end. Very interesting program. Funny too.

The show is about a group of girls (each from different groups in Korean Entertainment Industry - glamour & pretty one)..involve in farming activities. And..I started following this program on Saturday, 11.00am whenever my ASTRO not in the state of ‘Service Currently not Available’ :P .

To me, it is an interesting program. A good one. Malaysia should adopt the idea. Celebrities getting together in the farming activities, from corn, pepper..even rice field. They really have to put in their energy and effort in the activities, with make-up or no make-up, from start till the end - Seeding, harvesting and selling.

There are a lot to watch apart of the pretty faces and clothes..culture, communication, personality, foods etc. One of the series showed about corn where they have this corn fiesta, food from corn (corn rice, steamed corn), selling raw corn and contest on how fast one can get the corn out of its leaves and how many corn can one eat. The girls also have charming personality..one of them loves talking to objects and plants. Weird but fascinating. The most important is they all are being sporting.

One more thing that I like about this program is the pictures slideshow at the end of each series, showing the expression of participants – sincere, innocent and treasured moments.

In the end of the season, they celebrate the program’s anniversary and give their reviews on what they have experienced throughout..how the program affected, influenced and changes them. They also give comments on each other, politely, not for condemning but for improvement purpose. Then, they immediately make up by holding hands & sing a happy song after each comment session.

** Surely looking forward for another season !

To further or not...bring it on !

2011-09-18T06:06:00.000-07:00

Have u ever think of further studying? Diploma...degree...master...PHD...or even second degree and whatsoever?

I don’t. Because graduating my degree is already sufficient…at that point of time. Hey, 5 years with assignments and exams...i don’t think I wanted to go through those again.

Now, I’ve been working nearly 4 years. 1 year in GLC sector and another 3 years as civil servant. One officemate of mine (or is it ex-officemate now…ermm) is expected to complete her master by next year, after about two years of part-time study and last minute assignments submission, which I believe most of the time :P . Well, who cares about last minute as long as u successfully graduated. Everyone has his/her own way of doing things, right?

Seeing her effort make me rethink. About what? Further study, of course. And more...about my life. How did I spend my previous 2 years? Very relax, I guess - Go to work. 9 hour at office. Lalalalalaaa..back home. And I sleep in very, very, very early.

So, I started searching information regarding further study. What option do I have in term of university, cost, course, time, mode of study, mode of transportation? Do I really have the will power - mentally and physically to further study? I never forget about the assignments and exams, okay…

Coincidentally, one of my Uni’s friend also planning for further study. We had a quick discussion through the phone and made our decision.

To some, further study is a way of distraction from their never ending mundane task, besides refreshing the technical or other related knowledge.

Some believe further study as an added value to gain a higher level or better opportunity.

I think I’m in the earlier group. But as I get along, I realize further study is not merely struggling for another scroll...You gain more, unexpectedly. You will be exposed to a new dimension and perspective. Your weaknesses and your strengths will be revalued.

No matter what and how, I hope everything will end well for all of us.

We have lots of options out there.

Don’t worry, be happy.

Mini Highland Ayah...dan Mak

2011-09-16T06:50:00.000-07:00

Mini highland Ayah...dan Mak

Mini highland aka kebun mini.

Dah lama nak tulis pasal ni. Hobi yg mula berputik sejak ayah...dan mak bersara pada awal tahun. Bermula secara kecil-kecilan, tetapi dgn harapan yg tinggi. Hehe.

Ayah...dan mak selalu trial & error. Mula belajar pokok mana yg perlu banyak air & mana yg tidak.

Walaupun banyak juga dilaburkan utk pasu, baja, tanah..ada kebun sendiri memang best. Yelah, tak semua yg tahu rupa timun masa kecik..ye tak :P. Pernah juga dulu-dulu kenalan saya tak kenal pokok betik dan jagung. Rupa buahnya shj yg tau. Duduk kawasan teres dalam bandar kan~ Hehe.

Betul, memang best ada kebun. Kangkung je dah tuai 7 generasi. Hari-hari dapat makan kangkung. Goreng belacan? Celur? Sebut je menu apa. Malas nak gi pasar? Kangkung le jawapannya. Hehe. Lintah pun takde sebab tanam pd aras tinggi (Aras 2.highland la tu kan. Hehe). Nak makan pun lebih yakin sebab dah tau takde sembur racun perosak. Organik gituuu..

Harapan mesti mau ada. Ayah...dan mak pernah cuba nak tanam strawberi. Tak tahan. Mati lepas 2 minggu. Tapi tak putus asa. Sekarang ni cuba tanam anggur pula. Chaiyok, yoshhh~

Dalam banyak-banyak pokok, pokok tomato nombor satu. Cemerlang + Gemilang. Tak sabar nak tunggu tomato jadi merah.

Nanti bila dah ada rumah sendiri, nak ada kebun juga. Nak tanam tomato. Mesti best!

Ada apa lagi di kebun ayah...dan mak? Jom layan --->>>

Petola

Tomato - Number One !

tomato dah mula nak merah..

Timun

Terung

Daun kunyit dan kari mesti ada

Anggur - latest addition to the family

Tak sabar nak tunggu hasil anggur ~

Maaf Zahir & Batin

Dah seminggu beraya.

Apa aktiviti lazim masa raya?

Kunjung-mengunjung, ziarah kubur, masak rendang ketupat lemang..

Makan kuih-muih, sesi bermaafan, bagi duit raya.

Hari utk bergembira.

Raya saya?

...adei,ni je gambar raye yg ada tangkap

Bunga & daun pandan utk ditabur di pusara

Hari raya juga ada banyak cerite..YEAHHH..utk orang yg outdated tak tengok wayang ni memang syiok giler aa.

sehari suntuk tercangak depan TV..lalalalalaaa

Meh nak senaraikan citer2 raye yg dah layan.

1. Niyang Rapik - terminat lak si Shaheizy Sam tu bile tengok citer ni, watak kelakar.

2. Kongsi - yg ni tak minat si Sam tu. Storyline kureng umphh. Tapi ada gak diselitkan unsur 1Malaysia & jgn makan rasuah.

3. Pontianak beraya di Kampung Batu - kelakar betul si Didie Alias dgn along zombi tu tapi part si Rozita jadi pontianak tu memang x kene, cam x cukup attitude utk komedi ala2 seram :P

4. Nur Kasih the Movie - hampeh punye intisari rancangan dalam suratkhabar, tulis Senario Beach Boys. Dah la ayat pun misleading. Raya Malam Pertama dgn Raya Minggu Pertama tak sama lah. Hampir2 je terlepas tengok. Nasib baik makcik telefon bagitau ada Nur Kasih. Tapi last2 tak tengok pun, bosan giler jalan cerita. TidooOoor..
5. Lu Pikirlah Sendiri - tak paham kenapa Nabil ada isu dgn cerite ni dulu. Not bad pe, watak perempuan naik mini cooper tu memang tak best pun, tapi cerite ada mesej jugak. Rileks~

H a R i R a Y a !

Salmi Manja

Antara Cita dan Cinta

Sekawan embun berarak mesra

riak berkinja mendendang manja

senyum teratai di ujung desa

marak cinta di unggun cita.

Menggunting utas rangkai mutiara

penuh hasrat merangkum jiwa.

Dalam hati terasa girang

di akhir malam tunas mengambang

kadang terasa bimbang

dua jambatan terentang

cita bertunjang

cinta berkembang.

Gelisah mengintai selalu

kadang bermain duka - pilu

tiada jawapan meraba kalbu

siang penuh sinar metari

dan malam dingin berdakap embun

carilah naungan di pohon rimbun.

Benarkah cinta perosak jiwa

atau ia penambah cita?

Sudah terbohol dua mutiara

- cita dan cinta -

lebih bererti pada segala

kerana keduanya sama mulia

untuk manusia dan kedamaian maya.

[Utusan Zaman, 1955]

Pagi tadi baca iLuvIslam. Ada beberapa resepi kuih. Yelah..dah nak raya ni kan. Salah satunya ialah resepi utk kuih di atas. Jadi, sementara ada masa dan kerajinan ni, bolehlah cuba-cuba.

Mak kata ni kuih paling senang. Betul kata mak. Senang dan tak bersepah. Suka gak kuih ni, boleh layan laa kiranya..selain drpd kuih tart dan popia simpul kasih tu.

Rasa? Kene tunggu buka puasa,huhu..

Harap-harap jadi :P

** Ada lagi satu resepi dari iLuvIslam yg nak dicuba....nYuuuumm~

I am currently tagging all the books and records in my office as I am the officer in charge of the documentation. There are quite a number, since 2004 - Bulletin, Manual & Guideline, Reports and many more for reading materials and references.

There are also general info..and one which i found very interesting - Antologi Puisi Tanah Airku.

One of my favourites:

Gurindam

Hati itu kerajaan di dalam tubuh,

Jikalau zalim segala anggota pun roboh.

Apabila dengki sudah bertanah,

Datanglah daripadanya beberapa anak panah.

Mengumpat dan memuji hendaklah fikir,

Di situlah banyak orang yang tergelincir.

Pekerjaan marah jangan dibela,

Nanti hilang akal di kepala.

Kek Keju Brownana

2011-08-20T18:13:00.000-07:00

Salin resepi kek ni dari majalah JELITA. Dah la saya memang sangat suka keju + cokelat. Mana la tau rajin nak buat ke kan..haha, dalam mimpi :P

Tapi mimpi yg ni dah jadi kenyataan dalam bulan Ramadhan kali ni. Tengok bahan-bahan dan cara membuatnya macam senang..lagi-lagi utk orang yang BUKAN pembuat kek/kuih yg tegar mcm saya, huhu~

So, inilah hasil cubaan pertama & julung-julung kalinya membuat kek tanpa menggunakan tepung ready-mix yg perlu tambah telur shj tuu :P

Rupa sebelum masuk oven

Rupa yg dah dipotong2..sebelum ngapp~

Buat kek ini sama-sama dgn adik ipar. Adik ipar otai bab2 buat kek/kuih ni..pecah telur guna sebelah tangan je,ehe :P Saya sangatlah di peringkat entry level, '0' awareness (pinjam term dr competency dictionary..training officer ler kata kan).

Sebab baru nak cuba resepi, so memang follow bulat2 (saya yg menurut perintah) resipi yg disalin. Erm,takde la ikut 100% sebab ada tambah ceri sebelum bakar..yg ade merah2 tuu..

Lepas ni kalo dah mahir sikit boleh lah alter ikut kreativiti sendiri ye tak - guna strawberry ke, peach ke, walnut tu panggang jap dulu ke..loyang yg ada pun saiz besar tu, jadi kek nya cetek je, kalau tebal lagi cantik kut (akan beli loyang yg saiz lain lepas ni..semangat2..aja~).

Resipi kek di atas adalah seperti berikut(biasa sangat guna ayat ni), kalau2 ada yg nak cuba jugak :

Lapisan bawah aka brownies

2 biji telur

1/3 cawan tepung serba guna

1/2 cawan gula halus

1/4 cawan minyak jagung

1/2 cawan serbuk koko

1 cawan walnut, dicencang kasar (saya rasa lagi sedap panggang kejap b4 cencang)

1 camca teh esen vanila

1/2 camca teh garam

2 biji pisang berangan ranum, dipotong serong

Lapisan kek keju

2 biji telur

1/2 cawan gula halus

250g keju krim

1 camca besar parutan lemon

1 1/2 camca besar perahan lemon

Cara Membuat

Campur semua bahan brownies (kecuali pisang) dan gaul rata
Lengserkan minyak pada tin bakar
Ratakan adunan di dalam tin bakar
Atur pisang atas adunan dan ketepikan
Utk kek keju, pukul telur bersama gula sehingga kembang
Menggunakan mangkuk lain, pukul keju krim hingga kembang
Campur kedua-dua adunan bersama parutan lemon & perahanya. Pukul hingga sebati
Tuang adunan kek keju sedikit demi sedikit ke atas adunan brownies tadi
Bakar pada suhu 160 darjah Celcius kira2 40 min atau sehingga masak
Jangan terus keluarkan kek apabila masak. Biarkan seketika dalam ketuhar dengan membuka sedikit pintunya bagi mengelakkan kek merekah
Biar kek sejuk & hias dgn krim karamel atau sapuan susu pekat

Sangat excited bila kek dah masak sebab tak sabar nak rasa. Apa lagi, dessert utk berbuka !

Moreh @ McD KD

2011-08-20T17:35:00.000-07:00

Tinggal lebih kurang seminggu je lagi bulan Ramadhan akan berakhir. Sebelum-sebelum ni kira rajin juga pergi Jln TAR tengok2 apa yg patut utk persiapan raya (konon2 laa..ehe). Siap boleh pergi PKNS Shah Alam dgn pasar pagi kat stadium tu lagi. Tapi kali ni, keinginan nak tengok2 apa yg patut tu slow sikit, kenapa ntah..sebab dah banyak duit abes ke, sebab tak larat dah nak jalan panas-panas & jauh-jauh ni ke (maklumlah..umur pun dah ehem2)..ish,ntah lah..yg pasti malas tahap naga - abes kerja terus balik rumah..

Bulan puasa kali ni pun baru sekali rasanya makan fast food, sebab dah terliur tengok iklan McD - Double GCB! Tak suka sangat pun GCB ni sebab daging tu mcm tak garing tapi teringin la pulak makan time2 puasa ni. Pastu, apple pie mesti la beli juga. Mana boleh lupa, feveret tuu. Kalau dulu2 mesti sebat dua-dua sekali, apple & banana pie. Selalunya makan2 McD ni kat branch Kota Damansara, luas + selesa + rileks.

GCB tak double pun oke laaa~ janji GCB

Dari jauh boleh nampak kut M for McD tuu

** 1-2 hari sebelum raya tu nak jugak la singgah Jln TAR (singgah je?..ecece). Mana la tau ada lelong2 ke kan~

* Marilah sama-sama ambil iktibar

Tulang Rusuk Ku

2011-08-09T17:16:00.000-07:00

Kamu, tulang rusukku!

Kerana Allah melihat bahawa Adam kesepian. Saat Adam sedang lena tidur, Allah mengambil rusuk Adam dan menciptakan Hawa. Semua LELAKI mencari tulang rusuknya yang hilang dan saat menemukan wanita untuknya, tidak lagi merasakan sakit di hatinya...
Setelah berkahwin, pasangan itu mengalami masa yang indah dan manis untuk sementara. Setelah itu, pasangan muda ini mulai tenggelam dalam kesibukan masing-masing dan kelelahan hidup yang ada. Hidup mereka menjadi membosankan.Kenyataan hidup yang kejam membuat mereka mulai menyisihkan impian dan cinta satu sama lain. Mereka mulai bertengkar dan pertengkaran itu mulai menjadi semakin panas. Pada suatu hari pada akhir sebuah pertengkaran WANITA lari keluar rumah.
Saat tiba di seberang jalan, dia berteriak "Kamu tidak cintakan saya lagi!!!". LELAKI sangat membenci ketidakdewasaan WANITA dan secara spontan juga berteriak "Saya menyesali perkahwinan ini! Kamu ternyata bukan tulang rusukku!!!"
Tiba-tiba WANITA terdiam, dan berdiri kaku untuk beberapa saat. LELAKI menyesali akan apa yang sudah dia lafazkan, tetapi seperti air yang telah tertumpah tidak mungkin untuk diceduk kembali. Dengan berlinang air mata, WANITA kembali ke rumah dan mengambil barang-barangnya, bertekad untuk berpisah.
"Kalau saya bukan tulang rusukmu, biarkan saya pergi. Biarkan kita berpisah dan mencari pasangan sejati masing-masing".
Lima tahun berlalu. LELAKI masih belum lagi berkahwin, tetapi berusaha mencari khabar akan kehidupan WANITA. WANITA pernah ke luar negeri tetapi sudah kembali. Dia pernah berkahwin dengan seorang asing dan bercerai. LELAKI agak kecewa bila mengetahui WANITA tidak menunggu, sepertinya.
Dan di tengah malam yang sunyi, dia meminum kopinya dan merasakan sakit di hatinya. Tetapi LELAKI tidak sanggup mengakui bahawa dia merindukan WANITA.
Suatu hari, mereka akhirnya bertemu kembali. Di airport, tempat di mana banyak terjadi pertemuan dan perpisahan, mereka dipisahkan hanya oleh sebuah dinding pembatas.

LELAKI : Apa khabar?

WANITA : Baik... kamu sudah menemui tulang rusukmu yang hilang?

LELAKI : Belum.

WANITA : Saya akan terbang ke New York dengan penerbangan berikut. Saya akan kembali 2 minggu lagi. Telefon saya kalau kamu berkesempatan. Kamu tahu nombor telepon saya kan ? Tidak ada yang berubah.
WANITA tersenyum manis, berlalu di hujung lafaz "Selamat tinggal..."

Satu minggu kemudian, LELAKI menerima khabar WANITA adalah salah seorang korban Menara WTC. Malam itu, sekali lagi, LELAKI meneguk kopinya dan kembali merasakan sakit dihatinya. Akhirnya dia sedar bahwa sakit itu adalah kerana WANITA, tulang rusuknya sendiri yang telah dengan bodohnya dia patahkan.
Kita menempiaskan 99% kemarahan walau kepada orang yang paling kita cintai. Dan akibatnya adalah penyesalan. Seringkali penyesalan itu datang di kemudiannya, akibatnya setelah kita menyedari kesalahan kita, semua sudah terlambat....
Kerana itu, jagalah dan sayangilah orang yang dicintai dengan sepenuh hati...

* This is a very touching story. I wanted to give credit but I forgot the name of the blog...adeii,sorry

Sometimes..

2011-07-31T19:03:00.000-07:00

Sometimes..

What we said or feel did not synchronize our action.

We feel uncomfortable for others to know, yet we announce to the whole world. When people start asking question, we wouldn’t want to answer.

When people start talking behind our back, we get tense.

We are the one who give them rooms for query.

Sometimes..

We love a person, yet we never showed. When the person is gone, we cry. Heartbroken.

Why is that so?

For some, they just love the attention. Makes them a happier person.

For some, they believe sharing is caring, hardcore. In good or bad time.

For some, they just do not know how to express their feeling, the right way. Always at wrong time, wrong place, wrong person..huh~

Sometimes..

We learn the easy way.
We learn the hard way.

Sometimes..

We learn at young age.

We learn after we are married.

We learn after having 2-3 children.

Sometimes..

We have to wait for all of our lifetime.

Sometimes..

We never learnt.

(I hope not)

Life is unpredictable.
Yesterday we are friend. Today we are not. Tomorrow we are friend again.

Limit

2011-07-31T18:11:00.000-07:00

It is good to know our limit. Also others limit.

When to tell, when not to tell.

When to share, when not to share.

When to stop, when not to stop.

Know the limit. Others will not have to spurt it out to our face.

We may not like what we are going to hear.

DELICIOUS nehi he..

2011-07-29T17:22:00.000-07:00

Last June...(not too late eh?)

spaghetti not to meet our local taste, death by chocolate not as deathly as the name..erm,pizza oke2 aje~

ciput je chocolate..huh

This could be the most expensive eatery i've ever been.

A nice place to eat.

Peaceful ambience + simple white decorations.

No illustration in menu.

Don't know what to expect for order.

P U I S I C I N T A

2011-07-27T22:26:00.000-07:00

i love poem. i really do.

Poem about life, love, friendship, motivation..

P U I S I C I N T A

Sayang, aku mencintaimu..

Seperti bumi mencintai matahari..

Aku takkan mungkin bisa melangkah..

Tanpa ketulusan kasihmu..

Sayang, aku mencintaimu..

Seperti katak mencintai hujan..

Hidupku tak mungkin lama..

Jika jauh darimu..

Sayang, aku mencintaimu..

Seperti kopi mencintai gula..

Hidupku akan terus pahit..

Jika tak bersamamu..

Kata Ku

2011-07-27T22:15:00.000-07:00

First of all, i'm not in love.

Not at the moment.

If the time and chance comes..for me to love, to be loved, married..then let it be for the sake of Allah.

(Not because of others or because i wanted to get joint loan for housing..hehe)

i'm saying this because..

i may sound a bit mushy2 as..

i've found plenty of love poems which i like..

and

i'm going to put them in my blog, starting from this one :)

K A T A K U

Satu kata yang kusimpan

namamu

Dua kata menjadi alasnya

aku suka

Tiga kata yang kutahan

aku cinta kamu

Empat kata yang kuinginkan

kamu juga cinta aku

Lima kata yang kutakutkan

kamu menolak cinta yang kuberikan

Enam kata janjiku

ku akan selalu di samping dirimu

Tujuh kata yang ku mau

kau pun akan selalu berada di sampingku

Kelapan kata doaku

semoga kita selalu bersama selamanya dalam suka duka

Sembilan kata yang kuimpikan

sampai maut memisahkan dan kehidupan yang menyatukan kita kembali

22nd July.

Every year.

My BIGday..BESTday..BIRTHday.

2011 – I c e R o o m

[tribute to the theme colour :) ]

Never been here before.

After scrutinizing the menu and all the illustrations, we ordered :

Okey lah for snow ice but kurengs for the main dishes.

I tried the sesame snow ice, but the taste doesn’t suit me well. Too mature. I prefer the tropical fruit ordered by K.Lia..with strawberries and mangoes, surely looks more appealing than my cement-grey sesame one. For nuts’ lover like Lina, choose nut case.

This is a BIRTHday celebration..so, CAKE is a MUST !! Tiramisu vs Cheese cake. Tiramisu? Cheese? Both? Tiramisu won, yeah..as cheese cake is not available (", . For scale 1-10 with bigger number means better, I would say that the Tiramisu looks 7 while the taste..4? ecece..criticise as if i’m good at baking..no-no, not yet..haha~

The main meal came last. The so-called famous nasi goreng got better review from others. Spicy noodle not as spicy as its name. A white as snow chicken chop..this is just me being exaggerrating, huhu. Lastly, do not order fish n chip.

No matter what. It has been a happy day. Thank you.

Bamboo and Fraser

2011-07-22T07:01:00.000-07:00

Genting and Bukit Fraser are two common highlands to me and my family. Not too far, but still need 1-2 hours driving. When it is hot down here, we usually go to Genting, get the cable car's ticket and lepak2 for 2-3 hours before heading back to Sg. Buloh. A true lepak2..sitting at the bench + eating snacks + watching other visitors who are also enjoying the cool breeze..

Recently we went to Bukit Fraser. It has been quite some time. Previously there was only one way, taking turn by turn to go up and down. Now, the new road has completed and it is more convenient as we use separate road for going up and down. But do be careful with the slope. Looks scary and dangerous.

I love jalan-jalan..
There are lots of beautiful scenery on the way to Fraser..

Just see for urself :

Btw, we didn't go to Bukit Fraser because of the scorching weather..my dad was going to get some bamboos for his new passion after retire - gardening ! The bamboo scene looks similar to getting a christmas tree (for omputih) but for malay, it is the bamboo instead,umm..not meh? i hope we will not be mistaken / misunderstood of trying to get the bamboos for meriam mercun, if for lemang oke lah, boleh makan~

Up, i noticed one cute building near the entrance. Not the green clock tower. Not the Pos Malaysia. Puncak Inn..a new budget inn at Bukit Fraser. Looks like a nice place to stay. Would like to try someday..

Not much activities, though..
there is Fraser Hill Golf Club, but we are not golfers..
heard of Bukit Fraser as a place of birdwatching, but missed the season already..the banner stated June..
waterfall? nay..not suitable to drag my parents up the trails, quite exhausting for them..
horseback riding sounds fun..erm, maybe next time (eii, tak pernah tunggang kuda,takuuuut...)
archery - looking forward, also next time..
EAT is definitely a YES ! RM6++ for mee/nasi goreng..standard~

Not to forget - my dad bought two pots of strawberry plant @ RM10 each..latest addition to his gardening project :) .

That's all from Fraser..

(p/s : i was very delighted to see wild rabbits hopping near the bushes on the way down but sadly i couldn't manage to snap any picture..macam tak pernah tengok arnab~)

Take a Break !

C U T E P A N D A

Opening up..

2011-07-19T04:35:00.000-07:00

It has been nearly 10 yrs since i finished my secondary school. Reading through my schoolmates' (or is it ex-schoolmates') blogs today, i realize how they have changed into a better person, a mature grown-ups..some are lucky as they can do what they wanna do, they love their jobs, their lifes, their families..

Looking at myself, i don't change much..
Physically - yes, of course..dah gemuk lah~
It is more about the way of thinking, perspective..
Still a reserve + a bit anti-social person..
And i'm not happy with my current task..

I guess i'm not so good in forgiving and acting cheerfully also (there is only one person that i know that can do that,erm..two actually)
I've tried..
The damage done really hurts my feeling and pride so much..

Until today i couldn't find a way of accepting people who simply throw her or his crazy tantrum to others without proper checking and claimed others as keji, perasan bagus or what so ever..

is it hard to forgive and accept because the comments, claims etc were said as if..without regret, without feeling guilty at all..as if that is the right or best thing to do..umm..

or is it because the words came out from person whom i care, cherish, respect..as friend..umm..

what do u feel or achieve after doing that? does it makes u feel good? relieve? how others would feel?

ok, u scolded a person for a good reason, because of the mistake she/he had done..but please & pleaaaaaaaaaase approach in such a way that will not hurt one's pride or drop waterface laa..the objective is still the same, isn't it? to let the person realize the mistake, learn from the mistake and not to repeat the same mistake..enough. The last part (no repetition of mistake) can be doubtful as people tend to forget..so? always remind each other lorr~

Yeah, sometimes i have disagreement and get angry too..
But..

when u claim others as riak, keji,selfish etc..are u not riak, not keji, not selfish?
when u confidently comment that one person is complimented out of sympathy..are u being complimented sincerely then?
when u always brag about urself, dislike this and that..so others have to endure with ur 'dislike' too? how about u? do u tolerate with others dislikeness?

These are just harsh..

Manage ur temper wisely..
One saying i once read - if u are angry,change ur position..if u are angry while standing up, do have a seat..if u are angry while sitting, do lay down then..

If being insensitive always be an issue, how about being too sensitive then? acting heels over head for small dispute..u are soooooooooo over sensitive that u wanted the whole world to know about it. I wander what should happen next? Others suppose to succumb to u? Beg for ur majestic forgiveness? hihi..u really love the attention people gave u, don't u? let me tell why i'm being insensitive most of the time, because..to put in bahasa - malas nak layan dah, tak cakap salah, cakap pun salah~

If one person is in rage and started to blurt out all sort of nasty words, shouldn't that one person's friends console and cool down the temper? Not to worsen the situation..

How should true friend react? Give support in everything although it is not right? Then, sad to say, i'm not that kind of true friend. If u are wrong, i'm sorry, i will not say u are right..if u are right, yes, i will say u are right..I wouldn't want a friendship that is based on lie and insincerity all along from the start, that friendship had never exist then. I opt for giving advice in a way that friend can accept instead, it just feels better..

I do not know how would all the series of unfortunate misunderstanding turn out to be, but i do hope that in the end, everyone regrets what has happened, forgive each other and be a better person.

Hey, i'm just a human..
We are all just a human..
Human made mistakes, not perfect..

and everyone is unique..
If others can accept u as who u are, without making a big fuss..can't u do the same?

Old saying quotes - think before u speak..but in todays' world, in my opinion it is also necessary to think before u blog or post..

Oops, did i sound very pessimist?

Take a deep breathe..

SANDAKAN

2011-07-18T11:46:00.000-07:00

It was my second trip to Sabah, Negeri di Bawah Bayu or can i write as Land below Wind? (sounds better in Malay).

At first, i'm quite malas-malas to follow as it has been a long time since i travel by flight...to pack + go to KLIA at least 1 hr before boarding + check in bag + the flight sickness (gegendang telinga berdengung mcm nak pecah..sakit tuu).

Furthermore, my flight was at 8.05am..thus i have to wake up very early in the morning, about 5.00am to get ready. Home to KLIA takes nearly 1 hr, if drive at 100kmh :) .

Arrived at Sandakan around 11.15am, a bit late from schedule. Straight away to the site for internal audit. What training has to do with internal audit? Still civil maa..good exposure for me, really appreciate my boss who loves to share his experience.

Although i'm not into structure that much (i'm keen to water actually), but this trip makes me realize - don't give up yet, there are so many things to gain & to learn ! Aja-aja fight oh !

Also manage to get a brief tour of Sandakan. Sandakan is quite famous for fresh seafood, especially prawns. Unfortunately, i couldn't buy any due to storage and time constraint.

A bit of here and there.

View from project site

Dinner time - on plane

Sleep soundly despite the horror story told by people at site..lots of foreigner staying here

View of Mt. Kinabalu - WOW !

'The Giant & Smurfs' at arrival

A night at the stall..lots of stall selling terang bulan (similar to apam balik but without jagung), ayam panggang, pisang goreng, jagung rebus

Kampung atas air - siap boleh main bola sepak bila surut

Walkway at Kampung Air

delicious breakfast @ Sabah Hotel..prove? just see the empty plates and happy faces (",v

A fascinating trip for me indeed.

OKU - Orang Kelainan Upaya

"what makes you different, makes you special "

Pagi tadi dengar radio Selangor @ 100.90 (hidup Selangor \0/). Terdengar iklan pasal OKU - Orang Kelainan Upaya. Baru tau yg OKU ni terbahagi kepada dua, kekal dan sementara. Yg kekal tu mungkin sama seperti yg difahami sebelum ni. Tapi yg sementara tu..termasuklah kelainan yg disebabkan oleh cedera (tapi masih boleh sembuh) dan org mengandung.

Hajat nak ke Cameron tetap diteruskan. Via Gua Musang. Ada jalan ke Gua Musang dari Gunung Stong, jadi tak perlu patah balik ke Kuala Krai. Nak patah balik? Jauh giler..

On the way ke Cameron tu hujan. Risau jugak. Jgn main2 cerun kat Cameron ni. Curam. Siap ade yg dah expose. Kena report kat Cawangan Cerun nih~

Hujan yg agak lebat otw ke Cameron

Kena pulihkan cepat sebelum jadi teruk

Deras betul air dr bukit ni, terutamanya masa hujan

Musim cuti sekolah. Memang payah nak cari hotel yg bajet2 ni, penuh semuanya. Rate pun mahal. Kami dapat yg apartment - Jurina. Sangat sangat sangat besar. Sesuai kalau datang ramai ala2 family day gituu..

Takde aircond tapi petang dah hujan ..apa lagi, malam tu tido dalam kesejukan yg amat. Menusuk ke tulang..

Pasar @ Brinchang, Cameron yg glemer tu dibuka setiap hari sepanjang cuti sekolah. Memang syok jalan2 kat pasar tu. Boleh dapat strawberi murah gak. Bunga warna-warni. Macam-macam sayur ada. Cukuplah bahan nak buat steamboat - vegetarian steamboat :P

Kali ni tak singgah tengok kaktus pun. Selalunya memang singgah Cactus Point la. Kali ni giliran Ladang Teh Bharat. Pertama kali singgah ladang teh walaupun dah beberapa kali daki Cameron sebenarnya. Rupa-rupanya ada 2 Ladang Teh Bharat, belah Tanah Rata dan belah Tringkap. Masa nak pergi, sesak juga jalan area Kea Farm - Hotel Equatorial tu.

ala-ala bonsai pulak pokok teh ni

Dah canggih, pakai mesin je..tak payah nak petik2 pakai tangan

Kami bertolak balik selepas minum secawan teh Bharat. Dalam perjalanan turun, sempat lagi beli rebung dari org asli. Rebung cantik2 tapi sayang bila masak sangatlah terasa pahitnya. Tak boleh nak makan.

Rebung yg pahit..macam mana nak masak sebenarnya?

Pemandangan kuari di kawasan Simpang Pulai..habis bukit ditarah, kurang nilai estetikanya

Oke, hingga ke cuti yg lain \0/

Gunung Stong

2011-06-12T03:37:00.000-07:00

Masuk cuti sekolah yg ni, kiranya dah beberapa kali gak jejak Kota Bharu..wakaf che yeh, pasar siti khadijah antara tempat yg selalu pergi.

Ni ke rupa ala2 timun yg org timur suka makan dgn nasi tu?

Sotong bakar ~

Mari belajar Jawi..TESCO

hakisan teruk di pantai ni..

Kali ni lain. Gunung Stong. Sebelum ni memang pernah dengar Gunung Stong tapi tak tahu la di Kelate rupa2nya. Jauh juga nak pergi Gunung Stong. Lalu Gua Ikan. Lalu Dabong. Dari kejauhan (dah nak sampai Dabong la gitu) boleh nampak satu air terjun. Tinggi punya. Cantik. Tak sabar nak tengok dgn lebih dekat.

Gua Ikan yg sunyi

Pemandangan Air Terjun di Gunung Stong..nampak kecik je

Nak masuk tapak Gunung Stong yg ada air terjun tu kena bayar RM2/seorang. Kena caj sebab kawasan tu di bawah pengurusan swasta katanya. Lagipun, papan tanda di situ ada ditulis yg Gunung Stong ni macam Taman Negara Negeri. Ntah laa..pertama kali nak masuk kawasan air terjun kene bayar pula. Tengok macam lebih kurang Lata Kinjang kat Perak je, tapi Lata Kinjang tak perlu bayar2.

Takpelah..dah sampai bayar je la kan. Emm, terus terang bayaran tak berapa setimpal. Tempat tak terjaga. Ada resort tapi usang je keadaannya. Mengerikan pun ada. Kalau ada produksi yg nak buat cerita seram pun oke.

Di Gunung Stong ni ada 7 air terjun (macam telaga tujuh Langkawi pula). Salah satu air terjun ialah Air Terjun Jelawang yakni yg paling tinggi di asia tenggara..WOW !

Tak berapa ramai orang masa tu. Kebanyakannya datang mandi-manda air terjun. Kedai makan pun tak banyak pilihan. Jadi, ronda kejap je.

Teruskan perjalanan cuti-cuti Malaysia~

Main driver & co-driver yg tak berapa nak harap

Bentong - Sg. Koyan - Cameron

2011-06-10T04:24:00.000-07:00

Musim cuti sekolah, yeay \0/..tapi dah nak habis pun sebenarnya..

Sebelum cuti, sibuk usha jalan ke Cameron guna jalan Sg.Koyan. Dalam meng'usha2' tu, ada lah baca blog yg ceritakan pasal jalan bentong - sg.koyan - pos bertau - cameron tu. Ditulisnya ada jambatan melengkung yg cantik. Pemandangan pun cantik. Jalan agak selesa, kurang berliku tapi ada juga lencongan jalan sebab tanah runtuh. Blog tu ditulis dalam 2010, ada stretch yg tak siap lagi masa tu. Ada yang lalu pakai motor ala motorcross.

Dok tanya kat kawan, dapatlah tahu yg jalan tu dah siap dibuka. Tembus kat Ringlet.

Ayah macam nak cuba laluan tu. Dia memang suka explore jalan. Jadi, bergeraklah kami ke destinasi yg belum berapa pasti lagi sejak pagi berbekalkan - jemput2 pisang.

Lalu terowong. Kiri kanan kampung dan pokok-pokok. Hutan di laluan ni dah tak macam hutan. Banyak betul lori bawa balak lalu lalang. Dah nak pupus pun balak agaknya, yg tinggal macam semak samun, pokok2 renek dan dusun buah-buahan je.

Punyalah jauh guna laluan tu. Not recommended. Tukar plan. Cameron nanti-nanti. Kita pergi negeri red warrior dulu. Moh~

* Salah satu kekurangan guna laluan yg ikut pedalaman ni ialah selalunya memang susah nak cari gerai makan & tempat rehat yg selesa..apa yg ada saja~

Egg Tart KFC

2011-06-10T03:41:00.000-07:00

Egg tart KFC..ilustrasi macam sedap je. Beli 3. Rasa. Muak juga. Tapi utk seseorang yg suka makanan berkeju & berlemak (macam saya)..okey la tuh~

Tetap beli cheezy wedges juga, harus :)

(Teringat cheese tart : choc / blueberry / strawberry yg dijual kat pasar tani dulu2..nyumm)

L.A.N.U.N

2011-06-01T06:26:00.000-07:00

Pirates of The Carribean !!!

Cerita yg satu ni memang ada penangan hebat..kanak-kanak suka, yg dewasa pun tak kering gusi. Bersiri-siri dibuatnya selepas yg pertama tu cemerlang & gemilang. Yg terbaru ni kiranya siri yg ke-4, kalau tak silap. Saya belum tengok lagi..kalau cerita dah pasal lanun, beli cd lanun takpe ker? hihu :P

Yg best, Midvalley Megamall pun tak nak ketinggalan promosi cerita ni. Tersergam sebuah kapal, siap dgn layar koyak di tengah-tengah Centre Court tuu..ada sekali peti-peti harta karun, tengkorak dan ala-ala mini muzium utk Pirates of The Carribean..

* Tapi kurang perasan lak gambar Johnny Depp di sekitar situ, Penelope jer yg ada..

Penelope Lia and The Skeleton

aye..aye, Captain Jack ~

Himpunan Sejuta Belia \0/

2011-06-01T05:42:00.000-07:00

Dah hujung2 belia ni (ehem..ehem) barulah tau Hari Belia pd 15 Mei.

Minggu lepas, 27 - 29 Mei 2011 berlangsungnya Himpunan Sejuta Belia @ Putrajaya. Sibuklah belia yg sorang ni nak pergi. Panas betul hari ahad tu. Parking jauh lak. Rasa-rasanya menapak dalam 3km juga sebab nak cari pameran perumahan. Beriye-iye. Mula-mula tu tak jumpa, dah nak balik baru perasan. Punyalah lega pameran tu dalam bilik aircond.

Panas-panas pun nak snap sbb rase mcm @ Taj Mahal je :)

Dalam akhbar ada tulis pameran perumahan tu disasarkan utk belia. Nak buat macam mana..Memang harga hartanah tengah mahal sekarang ni, yg ada masa tu area Kajang, Senawang, Pajam, Nilai dan yg seangkatan dgn nya. Banyak perumahan baru naik area lebuhraya LEKAS. Area yg selatan2 ni pun harganya boleh tahan, RM270000 ke atas..adoi laa~

Mampu ker nak beli ni?

Tapi memang banyak booth kat himpunan ni. Ada booth pendidikan, kerjaya, Jom Heboh, pelancongan, game-game yg belia suka tuh, pameran kereta lama..macam2. Memang kena 2 hari la berjalan nak bagi habis tawaf semua gerai yg ada..

Macam2 bentuk ada

No crime, no war !

Tetap sempat singgah Alamanda walaupun dah penat..

Suka pokok buluh ni, nak tanam kat rumah juga (kalau dapat beli rumah laa)

Saya

2011-06-01T04:12:00.000-07:00

Saya,

Kalau kurang suka, tak ngam ho atau marah pd seseorang, selalunya saya jadi lebih diam. Saya jauhkan diri & kurangkan interaksi.

Sebab saya..

Perlukan ruang utk berfikir dgn waras.

Mencari ketenangan & keserasian.

Kena yakinkan diri yg baik itu lebih banyak dari yg kurang baik.

Supaya saya boleh senyum semula dgn seseorang itu bila berjumpa lain kali.

(Ingin melepaskan segala dukacita, kata-kata dan membisu seribu bahasa yg melukakan hati..tapi nampaknya saya seorang yg perlukan banyak masa)

Rehat @ Johnny's

2011-05-23T08:26:00.000-07:00

Jumaat. Rehat 12.15pm - 2.45pm. Mesti nak jalan-jalan. Lepas tu, mesti pening memikirkan nak makan apa. Minggu lepas rezeki makan di Johnny's. Ada stimbot, ada goreng2 juga. Kali ni pilih set stimbot utk 2 org (dalam RM30) + thai pineapple rice. Air - chocolate milkshake & thai tea. Chocolate milkshake yg sangat2 creamy. Walaupun set utk 2 org, tapi sangat2 cukup utk 3 org.

Hujung minggu - percubaan roti paratha yg agak berminyak dari ayah. Tapi, habis je makan :)

Kuih sejuk aka puding kastard. Mak beriye2 betul nak makan ni. Cuaca panas. Makan dgn aiskrim esp perisa vanila + ada almond2. Sejuk lagi sedap.

* emm, apa lagi resepi yg ayah nak cuba lepas tengok rancangan TLC, Ho-chak, Top/Iron Chef..

Odd Girl Out

2011-05-19T09:25:00.000-07:00

Baru lepas tengok satu cerita..

Tajuk : Odd Girl Out. Cerita pasal peer pressure. Seorang pelajar perempuan,Vanessa yg dibuli oleh rakan perempuan yang lain (konon-konon geng popular la ni) di sekolah kerana salah faham yg melibatkan pelajar lelaki. Vanessa punyalah tertekan sampai makan pil berlebihan. Tapi watak Vanessa ni mmg baik betul sebab masih percayakan rakan yg membulinya setelah mereka meminta maaf. Rakan yg bermuka-muka. Alasan yg diberi ialah tak sengaja tapi berulang kali buatnya. Akhirnya Vanessa sedar juga siapa rakan sebenar yg selalu membantu & menyokongnya dan bangun mempertahankan diri. Kira happy ending la ni. Oke la tu :)

Peer pressure dan kes buli mmg tak boleh diambil mudah. Lebih-lebih lagi peringkat umur remaja. Masa-masa ni pengaruh rakan sangatlah kuat. Kalau dgn perempuan, lagi complicated..penuh dgn emosi,fuhhh~

Tupai-tupai

2011-05-11T09:03:00.000-07:00

Tupai-tupai. Selalu je dengar nama ni, terutamanya masa nak berbuka puasa dlm bulan Ramadhan. Teringin nak pergi tapi tak pergi2. Kuala Lumpur dan Bangi. Tahun 2011 masa orang sibuk dgn hari ibu barulah dapat merasa makan di Tupai-tupai. Shah Alam. Depan Old Town White Coffee Apartment Acapella. Sangat..sangat..sangat ramai orang. Kali yg tu pesan butter prawn, salted egg prawn, tom yam, ceasar salad, shark fin soup..

Tupai-tupai. Tulisnya 100% bumiputera, tak silap. Memang banyak pilihan makanan. Western, masakan panas, stimbot. Menarik. Harga pun boleh tahan. Pekerja Tupai-tupai ni mesti sangat penat. Masa pergi hari tu, sampai berlari-lari hantar order makanan. Berlari-lari hantar pinggan mangkuk kotor. Paling best, bawa gelas setinggi-tinggi alam. Ngeri juga tengok aksi tu. Rasa ala-ala sarkas pun ada.

Boleh create rekod ni..gelas paling banyak yg boleh dibawa :)

Nanti kalau ada masa nak cuba menu lain pula..

Yg Lama & Yg Baru

2011-05-05T04:33:00.000-07:00

Baru-baru ni TV3 ada memaparkan cerita tentang penulis petisyen. Kebanyakan yg masih menjadi penulis petisyen ni sudah berumur. Selalunya penulis petisyen ni setia menanti berhampiran bangunan pejabat bersama mesin taipnya (pernah nampak, rupa-rupanya itulah penulis petisyen).

Tapi, zaman sekarang ni semua dah canggih. Komputer yg guna perisian Window XP pun dah kira tak 'up-to-date'. Apatah lagi mesin taip. Kilang mesin taip yg terakhir di India pun dah tutup. Jawatan jurutaip dlm perkhidmatan awam pun dah dijumudkan.

Dalam temubual TV3, pakcik tu ada beritahu mesin taip yg dia gunakan sekarang ni pun dah tiada 'sparepart'. Kalau rosak kenalah pandai-pandai baiki sendiri. Walaupun hasilnya dalam dunia sekarang kurang memberangsangkan (kadangkala pulang dgn tangan kosong), pakcik yg jadi penulis petisyen tu teruskan juga sebab dia dikira bekerja sendiri - bebas dan fleksibel.

Cerita penulis petisyen ni ada yg nak sama dgn penarik beca. Dari segi umur. Dari segi kesinambungan kerjaya tsb pada masa akan datang. Sekarang ni pun jumpa beca di tempat pelancongan yg ada unsur sejarah, spt Penang dan Melaka.

Saya sendiri tak pernah naik beca. Teringin juga nak naik. Tapi bila lihatkan pakcik yg bawa beca kurus-kurus keding, tak jadi pula rasanya. Pd saya, beca di Melaka nampak lagi meriah - hiasan dan sambutan pelancong. Selalunya penuh dgn bunga2 berwarna warni.

Siap ada belon biru..comel je

The spider trishaw

Berbunga-bunga

Walaupun banyaknya memanglah agak berumur, tapi masih ada yg muda bawa beca. Mungkin secara 'part-time'. Beca yg ditambahbaik dgn gaya tersendiri. Boleh tahan..dipasangnya lampu LED warna-warni, berkelip-kelip tuu..

Apa-apa pun, tanpa yg lama tiada yg baru. Yg lama tetap ada. Dipersembahkan dgn cara dan gaya yg baru. Improvasi.

Ada juga yg masih mencari yg lama. Nostalgik. Antik. Unik.

Lihat saja Rope Walk di Penang~

Hijri

2011-04-26T01:32:00.000-07:00

Tahun bilakah bermula Tarikh Hijri?
Siapa yang meletakkan asas Tahun Hijri?
Dan apa punca Tahun Hijri diperkenalkan?

Jawapan :
Tahun 16 hijrah pada zaman Khalifah Umar. Puncanya dari Abu Musa r.a menulis kepada Khalifah Umar, katanya : "Kami terima perutusan dari Amirul Mukminin dengan bertulis bulan Syaban,akan tetapi kami tak tahu bulan Syaban yang mana satu ?". Maka Saidina Umar pun menentukan bulan bulan-bulan yang diharamkan pertumpahan darah. Lalu didahulukan bulan Muharram kemudian dihimpunkan bulan-bulan Islam dalam setahun.

Saya suka jajan..

2011-04-24T08:26:00.000-07:00

Masa di Uni dulu, kalau dapat pekena air coklat cincau memang nikmat, hilang semua stress..lagi-lagi di kawasan pasir lombong yg panas spt di Tronoh aka 'Toronto' tuu..

Masa awal kerja gomen pula, tersuka oreo milkshake @ Secret Recipe. Kawan yg pesan tapi rasa-rasa juga yg dia punya, sekali suka betul..Setiap kali gi SR nak pesan yg tuu, kopak duit sbb 1 gelas mahu dlm RM9 gituu..Tak lama lepas tu, buat yg versi sendiri shj, spt pic di bawah ni :

Bila KFC keluarkan krusher, suka pesan yg lemon fizz..lama-lama yg tu pun buat versi sendiri juga, siap simpan bekas krusher yg kfc tu sbb nak bg ada feel yg sama :P pudina pun ada tepi rumah, boleh letak banyak2..

Minggu ni memang minggu jajan buat saya. Asyik makan hidangan berunsurkan ais dan aiskrim. Hari Jumaat lepas ada tumpang rasa-rasa aiskrim tapai yg dipesan oleh kawan di Chicken Hut @ The Mall (sebelum ni tak pernah makan di situ walaupun dah banyak kali pergi The Mall). Boleh tahan. Sedap pula tapai makan dgn aiskrim vanila. Tabur sikit kacang atas dia. Jadi, hujung minggu tu beli tapai, makan laa aiskrim tapai lagi,ehe..

* Jalan-jalan makan jajan memang syiok ~

Nostalgia Pesta Buku

2011-04-22T08:41:00.000-07:00

"Abe..Air matanya telah lama kering. Tuhan itu sesungguhnya Maha Adil"

"Abe..adalah cermin kehidupan..kita yg selalu haloba dan tidak pandai mensyukuri apa yg ada."

Abe - Komik kesayangan saya dari siri produksi Ujang yg dibeli di pesta buku beberapa tahun yg lalu. Sudah agak lama sebenarnya. Semasa zaman persekolahan di Jalan Kolam Ayer, KL. Setiap kali baca pun akan melahirkan satu perasaan yg tak terkata. Komik yg penuh makna tersendiri.

Konserto Terakhir pula menjadi novel pilihan hati sejak ianya dijadikan salah satu bahan bacaan sastera bagi subjek Bahasa Melayu di sekolah menengah suatu ketika dahulu. Hilmi dan petikan piano..

Cerita darah

Cerita darjat

birunya darah

pongahnya darjat

Cerita lagu dan irama

lagu jasad tegar

irama nurani sunyi

Cerita cinta

Cerita luka

Cerita Konserto Terakhir

Sebuah Intermeso di pentas hidup

- Editor (Abdullah Hussain)

Pasti setiap di antara kita mempunyai nostalgia tentang buku atau mana-mana bahan bacaan sepanjang hidup masing-masing. Baru-baru ini, seorang teman beriye-iye mencari koleksi buku 'Hardy Boys', Siri Salma, Tiga Penyiasat & koleksi yg seangkatan dengannya. Mengimbau kenangan zaman kecil katanya. Juga bagi menggalakkan perkembangan minda si cilik di rumah. Pencarian koleksi kali ini dikira berjaya sebab teman tersebut pulang dr pesta buku dgn gembira sambil mengendong beberapa plastik berisi buku 'Hardy Boys' dan Siri Salma.

* Ianya diadakan setiap tahun utk memupuk sifat minat membaca dalam masyarakat. Baik muda mahupun tua. Peluang ilmiah yg tidak boleh dilepaskan, walaupun oleh bukan si ulat buku (spt saya). Mari ke Pesta Buku \0/ - PWTC, 22 Apr - 1 Mei 2011

Strawberry split

2011-04-21T09:35:00.000-07:00

Aiskrim strawberry split telah menjadi hidangan pertama utk berbuka puasa pd hari ini. Sedap.

Menu kedua adalah sup cendawan. Sup sgt manis kali ni sebab cendawan busut baru shj dikutip di tepi rumah. Mulanya mak risau juga bila ayah beriye-iye nak kutip cendawan tu sebab baru-baru ni ada kejadian keracunan makanan selepas makan cendawan yg dikutip di tepi ladang, tak silap kes jadi kat utara. Tapi ayah yakin ini cendawan busut yg boleh dimakan. Lagipun, dulu memang ada sekali kami kutip cendawan busut ramai-ramai di tepi kaki bukit yg sama. Terasa mcm ala-ala red riding hood walaupun bawa penapis shj, bukan bakul yg sangkut di tangan tu..Seronok!

Ada org kata kalau musim hujan kilat petir ni memang cendawan banyak tumbuh. Ada juga yg kata cendawan tumbuh kalau kelkatu banyak sebelum hujan turun. Wallahualam. Sesungguhnya urusan-Nya apabila ia mengkehendaki adanya sesuatu hanyalah Ia berfirman kepada (hakikat) benda itu: "Jadilah engkau". Maka ia terus menjadi.

* Alhamdulillah kerana dapat melaksanakan puasa :)

Hanya insan biasa..

2011-04-21T03:22:00.000-07:00

Terima seseorang seadanya. Pasangan, kawan, sesiapa shj. Saya setuju. Tapi tiada salahnya juga masing-masing membanyakkan yg baik-baik dan mengurangkan yg kurang baik. Saling melengkapi. Saling mempengaruhi. Saling memerlukan.

Penerimaan pun perlu secara dua hala atau pun lebih. Jika tidak, akan sentiasa ada prasangka buruk dan sindiran sinis yg mungkin menyinggung perasaan. Sekiranya perlu, nasihatilah dan tegurlah tapi pilih cara yg lemah lembut dan berhemah. Paling penting, bukan ketika beremosi ye~

* Tingkatkan prestasi,kurangkan kontroversi..yoshh

Marah dan Paku

2011-04-20T19:56:00.000-07:00

Anak yg selalu marah-marah telah diberi oleh ayahnya sebungkus plastik beriisi paku. Ayahnya berpesan untuk memaku di sepanjang pagar di kebun tatkala anak berasa ingin marah. Anak mengikut pesanan ayahnya. Namun paku tsb semakin hari semakin kurang sehingga tida lagi kemarahan dalam diri.

Anak pun berjumpa dengan ayahnya memaklumkan kemarahan sudah dapat diatasi. Tapi ayahnya menyuruh utk mencabut semula paku-paku yg telah diketuk. Setelah dicabut, berkatalah si ayah:

"Wahai anakku, lihatlah lubang-lubang paku itu. itulah halnya dengan hati-hati manusia yang engkau marah, bila mana engkau mengatakan sesuatu kepada orang lain waktu kamu marah, ia meninggalkan luka yang dalam seperti lubang paku-paku itu."

* kisah ini telah diperolehi dari http://ustfuadosman.blogspot.com/ ..ada banyak lagi kisah teladan~

Mari renung2kan & selamat beramal !

Buat Kaum Hawa :)

2011-04-20T19:12:00.000-07:00

Wanita,

Tercipta dari rusuk lelaki,

Bukan dari kaki untuk dialasi,

Bukan dari kepala untuk dijunjung,

Tetapi dekat dibahu untuk dilindungi,

Dekat jua di hati untuk dikasihi.

* Akal setipis rambut, tebalkan dengan limpahan ilmu. Hati serapuh kaca, kuatkanlah dengan iman. Jiwa selembut sutera, hiasilah dengan akhlak.

Cuti-cuti homestay \0/

2011-04-20T05:56:00.000-07:00

Cameron Highland memang tak pernah membosankan. Walaupun dah tak sejuk sgt, tetap nak berkunjung ke Cameron. Mesti nak singgah tengok kebun teh, kebun bunga, kebun kaktus, kebun strawberi (semuanya nak dikebunkan..)dan mesti nak singgah pasar malam Cameron walaupun berlambak pasar malam kat KL/Selangor ni. Tapi takkan jumpa yg begini..

Kereta ni terpaksa berhenti sebab ada org nak muntah :P

Baru-baru ni ada terbaca tentang homestay di Taman Sedia. Hasil carian terjumpalah http://marinachalet.blogspot.com/. Komen setakat yg dibaca - positif. Ada kisah dongeng tersendiri lagi yg mana konon-konon pada zaman dahulu, kampung merupakan sebuah taman yang penuh dengan bunga-bungaan kepunyaan pari-pari aka orang bunian dlm masyarakat Melayu.

Pintu Gerbang Taman Sedia (http://marinachalet.blogspot.com/)

Sekali-sekala pergi Cameron menginap pula di homestay sambil menikmati suasana kampung..Menarik~

Bila nak ada rumah sendiri?

2011-04-20T04:08:00.000-07:00

Sering shj membuat carian mengenai rumah/apartment/kondominium utk dijual. Kawan-kawan yang seangkatan pun dah ada rumah sendiri. Ada yg lebih dari satu. Satu utk sewa, satu utk kediaman sendiri. Saya? Masih tiada apa-apa. Masih mencari-cari dan berkira-kira. Tak tau la sampai bila berterusan begini..

Dengarnya jumlah pinjaman perumahan telah dinaikkan, juga bermakna harga rumah makin melambung. Kadang-kadang harga satu-satu perumahan itu sangat tinggi, hanya berdasarkan spekulasi dan cadangan pembangunan mendatang di kawasan tertentu.

Beberapa minggu yg lepas berkesempatan menjenguk Magnaville di Selayang. Kemudahan yg disediakan agak selesa (kondominium baru la katakan)..ada mini market, kafe, kolam renang, parking bertingkat dan surau yg luas. Berdekatan dgn Hospital Selayang. Saya juga dapati beberapa awang hitam berkeliaran, mungkin penyewa mana-mana unit di situ memandangkan kawasan dijangka mempunyai potensi yg agak baik utk disewa ekoran lambakan kedai dan perniagaan di sekitar, tidak dilupa pembangunan UITM Kampus Perubatan.

Rumah sewa

2011-04-18T09:40:00.000-07:00

Melawat adik di Teluk Bahang beberapa minggu yg lepas telah mengubah tanggapan terhadap Pulau Mutiara yg sangat terkenal dgn pembangunan perumahan mewah lagi pencakar langitnya ini.

Selalunya kami sekeluarga ke Penang utk bercuti-cuti. Bezanya..kunjungan kali ini adalah menjenguk adik dan rumah sewanya.

Kami sampai pd malam hari setelah penat meredah perjalanan selama 6 jam (sangat banyak kereta di highway walaupun pada hujung minggu yg biasa, tiada sebarang cuti perayaan pun). Adik menyewa sebuah rumah di tingkat empat. Tiada lif. Hanya tangga. Gagah naik tangga dgn beg2. Mata pun sudah mau lena.

Rumah sewa adik adalah yg tercantik di tingkat itu. Dari luaran hinggalah dalaman - pelbagai pokok bunga ditanam di luar rumah (adik tak siram pun, harap hujan shj), pintu kayu utama, plaster siling, lampu2 dan penghawa dingin. Tp ayah tak suka tinggal di rumah flat, duduk sekejap tu pun dia dah merungut rasa mcm duduk dlm sangkar burung merpati. Ikutlah kemampuan masing-masing.

Mungkin disebabkan pendawaian flat pun dah lama, pasang pula penghawa dingin, jadinya elektrik selalu tendang. Mungkin juga flat kos rendah begini tak direkabentuk utk menampung penggunaan elektrik yg berat spt penghawa dingin..mungkin~

Keesokan hari kami keluar mencari barang-barang utk rumah adik. Perspektif baru. Baru sedar sangat susah nak cari barang di Pulau Pinang kalau nak dibandingkan dengan Sg. Buloh. Kalau di Sg. Buloh, ada Perabot Hashim,Wescourt...paling 'up' pun IKEA yg masih berada dalam lingkungan berdekatan rumah. Ada Econsave & The Store (bolehlah, lepas juga nak beli barang-barang dapur). Tp di Penang, Tesco yg terdekat pun di bandar Georgetown yg sentiasa sesak tu. KL/Sg. Buloh sesak juga tapi kesesakan di bandar Penang memang memberi tekanan perasaan,serius..

Kalau nak beli barang-barang dapur, yg terdekat ialah di kedai runcit, itupun ada yg tak lengkap. Adik kata kedai runcit yg paling lengkap di kawasan dia ialah Kedai Pak Maidin.

Apa-apa pun, mai Penang mesti nak pekena laksa + ABC + bihung goreng di Pantai Shamrock sambil layan pemandangan laut !

Tetiba rasa macam rajin

2011-04-18T09:32:00.000-07:00

Entah kenapa sejak baca blog si sanchai, sendiri pun rasa mcm rajin nak tulis2 di blog juga... Mungkin sebab aktiviti jahit manik dah kurang (takde baju baru utk dijadikan mangsa)...mungkin laa kut~
