update raya...

Salam.

Hi uols..hellow...

Salam Syawal, salam lebaran, salam kemerdekaan! :)

how's your syawal so far? how's the merdeka celebration?
meriah takk??

this year's raya celebration is so far fun!
went here and there. all the siblings are here, meeting relatives and so much else!

btw, this morning, i went to the kitchen,
greeting good morning to everyone, to mom, dad n my bro.
but suddenly, i heard my dad said, "makan, Ita"...
sentap uols..terjatuh lemang ditanganku gitewww..haha
hmmmm, daddy didnt recognize me... :(..
yes, they sometimes were confused between me n my sis.
we are about the same size (ok, tipooo...she's slimmer than me) and height, and sometimes our voice sounds similar.
and my dad likes to pat my shoulders.
with my sis around, he must double check before patting 'my' shoulders..lol.

back to hari raya!

what's the most thrilling stuff during hari raya??
balik kampung!

why?
did many things with cousins and siblings,
listened to many untold stories,
meeting unfamiliar true blood faces.

downside?
no more receiving duit raya!!

******

yes, hari raya with family n relatives was awesome.
did a little shopping with my bro n sis a day before raya.
carik tudung in the crowded mall..
sesak uols, like itulah satu2nya mall di dunia iniiii...

and then, main mercun bunga api with relatives at kampung...
gila penakut aku nak pasang api kat sumbu..
pas pasang terus blah..
padahal api tak kena pun sumbu.
last2, bunga api jugak aku carik!
aman je...

***********

so when cousins, relatives and family members were together,
a lot of stories came out...
and surprisingly,
i just knew that i actually had this 'baba nyonya' blood from my great grandma, mother's side.
my moyang's father is from baba nyonya's descendant.
no wonder.... my mom n my brothers have kinda slanting eyes..

i just knew that this house is nearly 200 years old...

rumah pusaka nenek moyang...

before this, we didnt really went back here coz my late grandparents live with us, with my aunties.
so everytime it was raya, we went to KL..
it was recently that we rebuilt and renovated here and there so that we could reminisce the memories.
feel the kampung environment, where my mother used to live and play here...
where my dad n mom got married.. and so on!

the compound.

lomang prepared by my cousin...

unfamiliar true blood faces


nih lagik satu kes yang setahun sekali jumpa...
bila sedara mara sampai, baru sibuk tanya, "mak, nak panggil apa?" ,   "mak, yang hensem tuh sape?",  "mak yang ..." blabla..
baru lah nak kenal sedara mara bagai kannn...
feel kinda weird when i see lots of girls in the house.
like meriah uols! hehe
satu family, 4 girls...
sorang keluar, semua keluar..haha.
macam best pulak... ;p 

and... i found similarity between Tok Chik's face with my lil bro.
tok chik is my late grandma's brother.
mom said that tok chik is a quiet man, like my lil brother..
and his smile is just like my late grandma's smile.

I also met with my cousin, whom i havent met since he was 11.
after puberty took place, of course everything changed!
dulu, nakal ya ampunnnnnn... kau rasa keje die nih carik gaduh je kann..
cuma sebab die budak je ko tak balas balik kannn...
skang nih, kalau dah form 4 pun duk lasak2 lagik..
ko memang lah kannn...
and his siblings, meaning my nephew lah,
6 boys...all boys. mana tak pening wehhhh...
tak duduk diam semua hero-hero nya..
I asked,  "aliff ada girlfriend tak??"
"mana ada girlfriend, muka hensem macam nih sapalah yang nakk"
ok ok....muka HANDSOME macam nih, sapalah yang nak...
7 years old uolsss..haha
btw, dengan diorang, I still bahasakan myself 'kak sara' uols..haha
memang feeling2 kak nita, though pangkat aunty dah kannnn.... :p

orite lah,
gotta stop now,
dodol kat luar tuh kena kacau,
mana ketupat nak kena rebus third round pulak kannn...
dengan wartawan bertanya yang nih dah ada calon skandal belum lagikk kann
i memang busy lahhhh...
busy busy body nih..
:p

Selamat Hari Raya,

Maaf Zahir Batin,

Salam.

hi uols.. how are you?
(note: entry goes Malaysian and Mat Salleh at times..lol)

semalam drive dari kg G ke Ipoh pun jam. tak larat nk layan jam.
tengok kiri-kanan semua muka tension.
tpi syukur selamat sampai kann..hihi

sampai -sampai umah,
ada surprise from Mimi..
tada..........

 Mimi and her 3 kitties

this one looks like SPot!

ok, like finally,
beranak pun. before this aku berteka teki die nih preggy ke tak.
perut bulat semacam tapi bila rasa xde pulak gerak gerak.
until one day, aku duk sorang-sorang dalam bilik....
pastu dengar bunyi.. bunyi bende bergerak.
carik punya carik...jenguk tingkap bagai..
sekali keluar mimi dari bawah katil..(mimi nih suara ala-ala emas, kadang nganga nganga tpi sebutir meow pun takde..kuar angin je..)
yes, die pregnant.
and lagik seminggu labour sebab tuh kelams carik tempat nak beranak.
(berani kau feeling-feeling nak beranak dalam bilik eh!!)
hmm, btw, adik aku memang awal-awal dah sediakan box siap tulis
'labour room C' ok!!!

so the kitties lahir on 26th August.. tpi i nak tulis 25th August jugak! hihi

and talking bout birthday...

ehem, last Thursday was my birthday...
my second birthday, celebrated at school!
last year, it was Ramadhan too and i was at school for practicum.
I still remembered how the students actually surprised me.
they stood up, and suddenly sang a birthday song for me!
and this year, another birthday at school..during Ramadhan too :)
received cards from students, wishes from colleagues, fb messages, texts and calls from family and friends.
all things that made birthday a special day itself.
except, i didnt really hug anyone on my birthday! :(

 her statement: "Saya sayang teacher",  really really made my day! :)

 the 1st card i got on my birthday! She made my day too! :)

and of course, I am grateful to ALLAH SWT for granting me these 24 years of life.
and hopefully, many years ahead, insya ALLAH.
may i become a better muslimah. Ameen.

and yesterday, at school
cam biasa, before raya holidays, we had the salam session with students
and amongst teachers...
lagi kecoh, lagi kepoh! haha

balik balik quarters after school,
found this interesting invention....

 

 hmm, senanglah pasni korang nak hantar surat cinta kat aku k!

and to my mama, daddy, brothers, besties, friends, colleagues, students, 

and all lah!! thanks a lot for your doa, wishes, cards, pressies...

love them so so so mmmmmuuuuuuuuaaaahhhh much! :)

and analysis shows that most of the wishes mentioned stuff about

jodoh, kawen and panjang umur... awww! :)

nih yang I sayang uols lebih nih!

muah! <3

(cukup besar untuk semua orang k! ;p)

p/s: someone in a good mood nih..hehe

4 days

Salam.
 

Ramadhan moment 5: Practicum at KL :)

 *********************

4 more days before the holidayssss!!!
cant wait, cant wait.
hope these four days would be wonderful, Insya ALLAH. :)

p/s: cheer up sara!

supermak and superdik

Salam.

yeah, every year, August has been an awesome month.
like this year, August is the month of Ramadhan, the holy month in Islam.
and also the month of 4 birthdays - superdik, supercousin, supermak and supersara.
awesome kan..hehe

and i think i have already mentioned before in my previous blog that we dont really have birthday party culture in our family. birthdays are like any other days, except we wish each other happy birthday wishes, followed by hugs, kisses and gifts (no cakes or bday dinner, etc). so that's why im kinda cool with all these bday celebs (though it would be undeniably fantastic to have a surprise birthday party..ehem..haha).

so yeah, coz it isnt my birthday yet, but my mom's and lil bro, so i aint gonna talk bout me yawww...

superdik's birthday was on 12th Aug.
so on his birthday, at 12am, i gave him TWO-pages long sms. you know, i said all kind of stuff that a lovely sister would say..and after a few minutes, i received a reply, a TWO-words reply.... "ok, thanks"..
omg...haha. ok, ok. it was his birthday after all, so i would let this one pass (NO).haha

5 random things bout Superdik.

1. he is the most patient person after Superabah in our family. 
2. he listens more than he talks. so janganlah tanya die 'cantik tak??'. he would answer 'hmm' without even looking... annoying ok.
3. sometimes, he treats cats like humans (at times, better than he treats me, mannn). one time, he even wanted to crush friskies so that toothless Mimi (yeah, this cat came to our house and only has 2 teeth with lots of saliva..huhu) would feel the joy of eating. plus, he wont allow me to talk bad about the cats in front of them. like 'eiii, comot lah kmu' or 'eiii, buang kang...'..haha. to him, it was sensitive u knowww....like, the cats would sulk if they listened to humans talking like that (esp part nak buang or hilang or mati).
4. he ensures himself to drink at least 8 glasses of plain water everyday. not less ok. he has his own glass.
5. his most annoying thing : if i wore his t-shirt without asking him first. wooo...pernah gaduh ok pasal nih...hahaha. yela, i lived in a hostel, so sometimes, all my clothes were either being washed or left at the hostel. so the best solution was to songlap his. ;p

i know, we dont look alike.. not a single part right??

and next is of course about my Supermak! her birthday is today, kinda like 5 days earlier from mine..hehe.
and of course, whatever i wrote here would never really explain how much sacrifices she has done for us. to abah, to abang, to adik and of course to myself....and indeed, she is really a SUPERMAK!

5 reasons that my mom is indeed a Supermak.

1. She never fails to prepare breakfast on the table since we were small. or even when we were not born yet. She worked and she managed to prepare breakfast and also lunch for us (coz we had school at noon, so mom prepared lunch directly in the morning).
2. She lovesssss plants and animals (especially cats).  the first thing she did when we arrived home from kampung or vacation for a few days, was - inspecting her plants and cats. wilting or not..etc.and Allah blesses her with 'green fingers'. so most of the plants that she grew, live happily, Alhamdulillah..:)..plus, we have heaps of ulam around our house. and most of them, i dont even know the names. hehe.
3. i am always amazed at her energy level. she is not a person who sleeps at noon. so she uses the time to do things. and most of the times, non-stop ok. i yang of course, younger than mak also cannot do it continuously like what she does. or is it when you are a mom and a wife, you would have this sort of determination and energy ?? hmm... 
4. she raises 4 boys and a girl. so not an easy job. based on mom's story, when all my elder brothers were little, they were really naughty and active. always had siblings rival and mom was really garang back then..haha. but now, not so much anymore..hihi.
5. she is a good advisors. she gives brilliant advices. like, even my brothers pun usually talks to her to share their problems. what's more with me kannn...:p

and for all of these and many many many more, I really am grateful to ALLAH SWT for HIS gift to me,  a superMAK. Alhamdulillah.

p/s: and of course, i love you Mak and Ju so much! happy birthday dearies, may ALLAH bless both of you and all of us.... <3 mmmuahhhhx! :)

ho ho ho horlicks eh???!

Salam.

Ramadhan moment 4: SBE at Karori :)

***********

kau tahu kan, bila ada webcam di laptop, dan juga video, kita akan camwhore and record apa-apa aje kannn..

yela, tak payah pegang. kau duduk je depan laptop..senyum..and snap...zillions of pictures.. 

then kau boleyh, main gitar and then record. kau boleyh nyanyi katak ngan member then record. 

macam-macam lah kannn...

pastu gelak-gelak and kutuk diri sendiri bile tengok balik semua gambar and videos... 

so, sejak beli laptop, meaning, around 2009, dah banyak gambar syok sendiri, gambar tak syok sendiri (pura-pura candid), gambar macam-macamlah...yela, kan webcam, pixel die rendah sket. so ko akan nampak 10 kali lagik gojes dalam tuh..so makin perasan gojes lah giteww..dan video pon pelbagai. dari aku sakai main gitar, sampailah kurang sket sakainya....teruk tuh still adalah..hehe.lagipun, video-video tuh kadang jadik sumber aku untuk meng-annoy-ingkan adik aku..

and video plus gambar-gambar semua dari aku pakai baju sejuk dalam bilik sampailah t-shirt ,kepala berbalut tuala. 

dari new zealand, sampailah ke malaysia. 

dari 2009 hinggalah beberapa hari lalu...

yang mana aku terlupa nak back up gambar-gambar dan video-video tuh semua sebelum format laptop yang semakin tunjuk perasaan.

sekarang nih, aku yang rasa nak tunjuk perasaan. 

sedeyhhhhhh....... dah hilang semua gambar-gambar and most importantly, videos tuh semua k. 

mana nak dapat video yang aku pakai snow cap merah, jaket biru kat dalam bilik ACI, Wellington?

mana?? manaaaaaa ????

usah dikenang barang yang dah berlalu (yeah right!)

p/s: sara..sara....macam mana boleh lupa nak back up that files?? *sigh

job offer- nak takkk???

Salam.
