Saje je

Aci x kalu i buat entry ni semata-mata sbb hari ni last day 2010? 

Mmg entry ni jenis tangkap muat (tu pn kalau muat) pny la.

Eh ok2. I'll try to make this post worth writing/reading.

Hmm, I just got back from a 10-day holiday last week. From 16th to 26th December. 

We went to:

SINGAPORE

• Universal Studios Singapore. Let me remind u NOT to go there on school holidays. You'll suffocate and end up queueing and queueing until u can't queue no more. We only went on 2 rides. And each ride took us 2 hours on average just WAITING IN LINE. But we had a great lunch, we had fun going into many different souvenir shops, taking pictures and stuff. Nothing much compared to Movie World though.
• Rumah Nyai (Nya ii) and Yai (Ya ii). Wah suddenly so Jawa. Nyai = nenek and Yai = atok. My mom was born in Singapore so my Nyai and Yai are her Aunt and Uncle who still lives there because they're Singaporean. But my Mom's Nyai and Yai are Indonesians. Apakah?? *tetiba sedih Indon kalah AFF Suzuki bagi pihak*. So basically Nyai and Yai are my Great Aunt and Great Uncle. My real Nyai is my Nenek. I don't call her Nyai cause she's not Javanese. She's Johorean Malay. But she's now in Jakarta for a trip. Apakah?? And my real Yai is neither in Malaysia NOR Singapore. He's in the Philippines. Whom I've never met before in my whole life. *Okay now I'm all confused*
• Jalan-jalan shopping complex Singapore yg canggih manggih. They even had underground malls weeee!!
• Went on a Night Tour with some other tourists. -A couple form Germany, A couple from Australia, Mother and daughter from Indonesia, and the 5 of us. And the FUNNIEST thing is, the tour guide brought us to the ROYAL SELANGOR. LOL. Macam orang Sarawak melancong pg KL pastu beli kek lapis Deja Moss T_T.

JOHOR

• Tinggal rumah Nenek (this is the one that we don't call Nyai coz she's not Javanese hahah) for a few days.
• All of us (except nenek sbb ada meeting katanya) went for a movie outing beramai-ramai bersama Usu, Pak Usu dan sepupu sepapat. We watched *inhales* HANTUKAKLIMAHBALIKRUMAH. Bahahahah. Bahahah. Hahah.
• Rent a car and drove to.....

KL

• Stayed at Berjaya apartments.
• On Christmas Eve, walked to Bintang Walk and was damn shocked with everything. KL mcm.. Hish xtau nk ckp apa. Malu.
• Jatuh gedebukk depan Low Yat and hurt my knee (msh lebam and scratched). 
• Xsmpat nk singgah Excelsa yg dirindui. =(

Okla..dh nk kol 12 dh ni. Kang xjd post terakhir, jd post terawal. =_="

Happy New Year! May this year be better than the last. All the best to you!!!

We miss u so much gramps..

aritu, raya tak blk swk..blk jb je...maklomla...orang dah lupa daratan mmg mcm ni...uhuhu..
those are a couple of the 'routine' pictures yg kitorang mst amik kat tpt yg sama, posisi yg sama every year...

this year tak blk kampung kat pontian..atas sbb2 yg tak dpt dielakkan. insyaAllah there won't be any problems as such lepas ni..*wink wink*

raya kat jb mmg best...sbb all my extended family duduk sebumbung...kecoh gak dgn suara nenek yg membebel kat cucu2 dia non-stop. huhu...tapi kitorang ni semua dh kira baik dah. berbudi pekerti mulia gitu. tapi tak sah pulak kalu tak dengar dia membebel. bagaikan tak lengkap hidup ini rasanya...oh nenek. kaulah pujaan hatiku. ngeee...

ice city...

went back home last weekend. 3 hari je..ntah apa2 kan? pegi sabtu, blk kl isnin. first day puasa tu smpat sahur je kat umah. tak dan nk berbuka bersama ahli keluarga yg terchenta. oh! terkilan rasanyer. tapi takpe...it was definitely worth it walaupun sekejap. anything to be with yr family rite?

so i arrived in bintulu on saturday lebih kurang kol 3...malam tu, makan masakan ibu yg wlupun simple tapi cukup menyayat hati dan perasaan uhuhu...
the next day, kitorang bekpes kat kedai 'makcik slow'...mmg melekat la nama kedai tu...tak tau pun apa 'tajuk' sebenar kedai makan tu. layan woti canai ngan teh 'c' special. fuh masyuuukk. pastu kitorang bertolak p miri. i drove the whole two hours to miri, with my brother snoring next to me, and my parents at the back seat. hehehe...seronoknyer!!! loved it.

dah sampai miri, p skolah o'ol (my sis) and seludup dia kluar sekejap (sbb dia skolah asrama and she's in form 5). siap tunduk2 lg dalam keta takut pakguard nampak. my dad said "takpe, kalu kena apa2, ayah tanggung" chewah. mak akami pun bekobar2 keluar satu family pi mkn buffet at a hotel in miri (beghiyer kononyer sbb dh lama tak mkn luar sesama n esoknyer dh nk puasa huhu).....

At the lunch table my dad said "besnyer sume anak2 ayah ada makan sesama. kalu tak....angah ada, along takde. kalu along ada, angah takde. nazrin jugak yg sentiasa ada". i pon teharu la pulak wlupun my dad has been saying that a lot lately. everytime we got together. padahal 3 beradik je pon...bersepah2 je anak2 dia ni ha...


there's a new spot in town (my town bintulu) called ice city...and these are among the yummies


that's me enjoying my ice cream




with my brother, nazrin. poor ool uhuhu..

sonoknyer...

besnyer aritu balik kampongg.....amik cuti seminggu tak tahaaaannn..

hmm...yg best tu sblm blk lg dah rasa mcm brada di tanah airku...sbb kat klia time nk tgg msk plane dh dgr org keliling dok ckp bhs ibunda...sengih cam kerang sensorang la kat situ kan...ngeee....

had a blast coming home dgn berbekalkan my very own money in my pocket...duit hasil titik peluh dan keringat mencari rezeki di perantauan..kuikuikui....both my parents pon cuti so sangat seronok yer...bersama seluruh ahli keluarga

sampai2 je, esoknyer trs pegi majlis kawen ok...siap sampai 3 pasangan lagi...tp dua kenduri la...entah kenapa asal blk je asyik dok pegi majlis kawen je kejenyer...ekeke...

oops..okla. nk smbung study cfd blk ni. kena kembali ke jalan yg benar. babai!

Raya...part 1

It's always good to be home. Nomatter how far u go, home is always the place to be. Miri-KL-JB-Melacca-KL-Miri and back to the comfort of my cute little town in btu. Though i feel like i just have to get out of this small town sooner or later, in the mean time, it's all good.

Yang tak bes nyer...balik2 umah je terus demam. memula sakit perut je..keluar msk toilet. kalu ada orang bukak kounter tiket kat toilet tu memang dah kaya dah. it took me a while to realize i was sick. By that time, i was freezing, my whole body was aching..and when i lay down..my body was so hot n my temp was so high it almost felt like i was burning the bed sheet underneath me. Terrer kan? Nasib baik the day after that dah ok. fyi, I just got my appetite back this morning. Semalam mmg tak lalu makan gegiler! And the sad sad sad thing is, I couldn't even finish my all-time fav dish-my mom's soto ayam!! (xdpt nk amik gamba...xlarat) Kalu tak, salu sampai 2,3 kali tambah u noe!! U know there's something wrong with me when i couldn't even finish my first helping of the famous soto ayam. Adoii..kesiannyer..Neway, as I mentioned...i'm all better now!

Ok, my journey..memula stay kat miri..

Here's my cousin with her hand in the dough nk wat kueh makmo...i helped ok! ehem..ehem...

esoknya, on our flight MYY-KLIA a day bfore raya, we packed the in-flight food sbb time buka puasa is around 30 minutes after landing.


There's this one male flight attendent that kept coming to us...kiki...first tu, dia tanya kitorang (the three of us were sitting together and my parents were on the other side)

mamat steward: balik kampong?
O'ol: Ha'a
mamat: Balik mana?
o'ol: Johor
mamat(looking puzzled): Sempat ke nk kejar flite..ada flight pukul...(xabih ckp)
me: tak...drive
mamat:owh..sapa yg drive
me: ayah
mamat: ayah ada kat kl eh
me: eh tak..tu!(pointing at my dad)
mamat: owh...lama tu...brjam-jam..mesti penat. kalu penat sapa yg ganti?
me: *sengih cam kerang xbrapa nk wangi*

After i've drifted to sleep suddenly he came to us again with a bag
and handed them to my mum(who was by now exchanged seats with my bro sbb nazrin nk baring) and said "untuk pejalanan kl-jb"..kitorang pon terpinga-pinga...wanna what's inside the bag?


a bag full of salted peanuts.


a few minutes later he stopped near our seats again with a few packs of biscuits saying "kak, kak..masuk dlm beg" dgn muka slamba badak spy org lain xpasan he was giving us stuff.

and again, this time holding a tray and he dumped the whole tray of small boxes of cakes into the bag that my mom was holding.

and can u believe it he came again(dgn muka yg xde prasaan langsung..siyes! muka dia serius giler) this time with 5 cans of 'air gas', one for each of us. we were all covering our mouths sbb xtahan nk gelak teguling-guling tgk mamat tu showering us with on-board stuff...lawak seyh...xtau la org len pasan ke tak.

to be continued...(blogger ni de prob uploading gambo lak dah..)

My Graduation..

sorry for the late entry. before i start, ni nak mengucapkan selamat menyambut bulan Ramadhan kepada sumer umat Islam di seluruh dunia. Semoga bulan yg mulia ini menjadikan kita insan yg lebih sempurna chewah.

Ok here goes...(beghriyer compose kat notepad mlm td ni). when 'D' day came, i woke up next to my grandma at dawn and xtido blk sampai sunrise. borak2...kemas2 brg while busy sending and replying sms'es talking about how anxious and nervous we were(or how incredibly cold MY feet were, as a matter of fact..). Don't know why, it's just who i am..i get really nervous and all choked up for the smallest of reasons. bole kata gabra yg belebih-lebihan la..(need to remind myself to take a chill pill once in a while). My session will only be starting around 2 that afternoon but i was already feeling all jumpy, my throat dry, my hands were damp and cold, and my drumming heart felt like it would jump out of me at any moment.

I was having a hard time at breakfast sbb takut nnt skt perut, takut kenyang sgt, takut lapar sgt and mcm2 lagi la yg i dok pk masa tu. Ntah haper2 la minah ni kan? Overreacting ngalahkn plakon wanita terbaik. Lps breakfast, jln jap and we went back to the hotel to check out( flite ibu n nenek kol 6 that same day). After a few trips to the bathroom and a rather tragic make-up experience with my mom, we made our way to ums.

Dh sampai ums, i put on my hideous n ugly ever so beautiful robe or gown or whatever u call it and amik gamba mata sepet ngan family (panas terik siot!)

mom helping me get ready

gamba mata sepet

Tried to locate my friends before taking my family to Tamu Gadang for their early lunch sbb nnt xsmpt nk mkn. So kitorang duduk2, dorang makan2, i tgk2,i mintak sikit. Time dh nk bgn pi dewan,dengan tidak semena-mena turunlah hujan rahmat convocation yg lebat gegiler. Of course...I yg sememangnyer tgh nervous tak ingat...trus jadik panic sampai air mata dh nk kuar. Siyes!! Now that i think about it again, klaka la plekk...agegege.. Tapi mmg nk nangis pon masa tu. Cuba bygkan, dhla umbrella ella ella pon xde! Time tu mmg dh kena berkumpul and i was LATE! Tolong!!!Tolong!!! Jerit hati kecilku.

Then my dad got this brilliant idea mintak plastik sampah (baru punya okay!) besar yg kaler itam tu and cut it flat open. Nsb baik masa tu xbrapa nk lebat, so, dgn jubah yg ala-ala lawyer, i lari pi dewan wearing my 'black cape'. Sambil2 tu membebel sensorang but i cant quite recall what i was murmuring about.

Alhamdulillah, sampai kat dewan...tgh kalut2 tu, Alhamdulillah lg skali, jumpa la fiza n balqis.

look at me in the middle..cam tiang lampu...nebes sampai takleh nk senyom

They took one look at me and made me realize that i wasn't quite ready for the event. my freakin hood was not how it supposed to look like! So, my mom and my friends helped 'save' me. Thanks guys, dah menggelabah giler time tu..mesti korang rasa nk pelempang je kasi i 'get a grip' sket kan??

Hmm..lepas tu kan...turned out that the three of us were the only ones yg xpatut ada kat ctu. graduates lain sume kat atas.. how the heck are we gonna get up there?? dh le kat luar ujan. Lepas berlari ke hulu ke hilir mcm lawyer-kena-kejar-anjing, nasib bek ada hamba Allah yg bermurah hati bg kitorg jalan lalu kat dlm. Kitorang pon berlari sakan dgn mekap yg cair and peluh yg mengalir..huih daH SYAT tol. and kitorg pon sampai kat toilet n jmp ramai org yg ghuper cam kitorang tgh touch-up depan cermin. kitorang pon join la skali...after meaningless attempts nak betulkan tudung yg herot-petot(ayt fz) disebabkan pemakaian mortar board, terdengar jeritan seorang wanita yg agak bengis memanggil graduan untuk pegi berbaris SEKARANG JUGA!!! Huwaa...scary nyer kak!! Kitorang pon pi la carik kosmet2 lain. Dah jumpa sumer org, baru lega sket.

Tunggu punya tunggu, sampai penat menanggung nebes dr pagi tak surut2. slagi blom nek and turun pentas dgn selamatnya, slagi tu la i cant calm down. Kemudian, kitorang pon mula la berarak masuk dewan dgn iringan music chewah...this is it...the moment of truth.. tgh turun tangga, nana who was behind me, bumped on me twice. kiki...masa de telanggar tu, i started imagining if i were to fall and bump on fiza in front of me, all of us would be performing a 'human dominoes effect'. Makkk tragiknyer. Nsb bek sume ok.

how we look like from where my family sat

Sementara menunggu giliran yg bapak pny lama tu, toleh2 la kat blakang tgk my parents n my nenek. risau takut my mom xsmpat tgk i nek pentas...dorang kena kuar at 4pm to catch their flite. Dahla course kitorang 2nd last. Ayyyjjjoooo... Time tu stat la pk bukan2, takut nama tak kuar, takut jatuh tesembam, takut kain telucut..tidakkk!! (i pakai kain lepas, my mom syg nk jait songket dia, so i have to bear with a belt and lots of safety pins), takut tesilap salam, takut tepele'ot/tersadung sumthing, dan macam2 lagi bermain2 di fikiranku tatkala itu. Alhamdulillah, takde apa yg tak diingini berlaku. They even pronounced my name perfectly!(seldom happen) And even my picture turned out quite good..if i may say so myself ehemm ehemm...;p

me accepting my degree *smile!!* ;p

Oh and who can ever 4get the event that almost brought me to tears if it wasn't 4 my make-up....the grand entrance of a dear friend of mine ekeke....bravo dude!

Begitulah seadanya..lepas abis sumer tu, my dad pon hv to go and i was left all alone in the middle of a very large, happy crowd. sedihla jugak time tu tekapai-kapai keseorangan, sumer org ngan family dorang

(i know bukan sumer but it sure felt like it ;( boohoo) jumpa kawan ni amik gamba, jumpa kawan tu amik gamba...sampai maghrib baru blk. tu yg dok kat cc kpg E spt yg dinyatakan dlm post sebelum ini...Sedih la sensorang. Oh well, i should b thankful that at least my parents came and saw me went up the stage, didn't they? It's a shame my sister and my brother couldnt make it. Then it would've been perfect. okla dh penat. Nite...Slamat berpuasa guys!
