tak berbaloi

my (love)life had been bored..so bored..i decided to stop with the stupid idea of not talking to him after 5 days..as i realised that i can go on my life without him..i dont feel the excitement anymore..just consider he is another plain guy that not worthwhile for me to pursue/flirt/daydream anymore..he's exactly like other guys that i've known before..boring~

my days without rice were boring too..so today..i'll take a short break..my sis n family will be dropping by..mum n i had cooked sumthing special for them..ayam asam pedas n udang rempah..hungry~

masakan berinspirasikan bayam

minggu lepas, aku telah merajinkan diri pegi pasar malam jumaat kat belakang umah aku.sbbnye, ari dah nak ujan dan mak aku ade meeting dan aku malas nak masak. tp spt biasa, aku skip beli ikan2. aku terus beli sayur mayur (wujud ke kata berganda nie) byk sayur aku borong (utk mengimbangkan balik rutin mknn aku slps aktiviti makan luar biasa kat penang) antaranya kangkung, kubis, tomato dan bayam. sejujurnye, aku tak ske beli bayam. sbbnye? aku tak ske nak menyelinap daun dr btg bayam setiap kali nak masak.sgt leceh dan amik masa. tp sbb aku tgk sayur tu segar drpd biasa, aku pun amik laa. dan semalam mase aku nak masak, aku tgk bayam nie masih lawa lg. yummy! puas aku pk nak masak ape. akhirnye aku decide nak buat salad se n spageti sos. idea nie aku dpt dr tgk cooking show n women's weekly. aku kan ske buat resepi sendri.

Penang Trip Day 3 & 4

Aku bangun awal pagi nie. Igt nak jejalan tepi pantai dgn Rina n Fatin. Tp diorg still diulit mimpi. So, aku jalan sorang2. Tenang bile jalan sorang2 menikmati pemandangan n angin pagi tepi pantai. Took some pictures n naik atas. Azhar pagi2 dah menghantar his in law ke jeti. Diorg nak g naik ketapi ke Taiping, sambung bercuti berduaan di sane(dah di usia emas..tp still romantic..) around 12, kami gerak ke butterfly farm. Dr umah P*etronas tu tak jauh mane pun, dlm 10km kot. Entrance fee for adult with mykad – RM10 sorang. Mahal? Tak. Berbaloi2. masuk2 je rase cam dlm fantasi..byk gile rama2. n dr mcm2 species. Selain rama2, ade scorpion pit, iguana, beetles, duck n byk section. Sbb kitorg nak cepat, agak fast forward laa berjalan2 kat situ. Nway, rina still sempat beli sedikit cenderamata kat sane.

Dari butterfly farm, kami ke nasi kandar siti subaidah (again? Nk wat camne, nie kedai terdekat kitorg dpt jumpe) harini amik lauk len skit. Takleh reveal(sbb aku mmg dh lapar tahap nak gastric dah) bertiga =rm27. Then kami menuju ke Sik@Kedah. Nak bawak fatin jumpe moyang die. (Fatin nie siap ade piut lagi). Jauh ke dalam upenye kg Azhar nie. By the time kitorg smp, tgh ujan lebat. Seronok tgk pelbagai generasi berkumpul bersama n berborak.Murah betul rezeki haritu, kami dijamu buah2an (antaranye buah unik; buah keranji. Rase berserbuk asam boi) mihun goreng yg sedap.(kitorg nie mmg betul2 jalan2 cari makan nie) dan nasi kukus ayam goreng berempah (nie nasi kukus terbaik aku penah makan..nasi die je mmg lain laa).

Kul 8 mlm kitorg gerak balik ke pulau. Sempat singgah di padang kota lama. Makan kerang bakar n air kelapa, tapau pasembur utk bfast. Shopping cenderamata kat pasar malam batu feringhi while azhar pegi berurut kaki.

Pagi terakhir, aku, Rina n Fatin g tepi pantai. Sesi main2 n amik gamba. Fatin still takut dgn air pantai. After few attempts to lure her to play beside the seaside tak bape menjadi gak, kitorg gerak g swimming pool. Dgn pelampung spongebob tu, memule si kenit nie takut2 gak. Tak lame lepas tu, die dah ok. N hepi. Aku yg mule malu2 kucing, last2 join terjun n main gelongsor air. Best!

Pas packing2 kitorg cek out. Nak g tropical spice garden. Tp ujan. Maybe next trip? Kami cari makan di tgh Bandar penang. Dah puas makan nasi. Aku mkn mee bandung n abc. Then, kami ke kamunting Taiping utk amik ayah n mak rina. Pegi ke Taiping ketika hujan, bring back memories of Mr. KA.:p. Kami berhenti kat R&R Sg Perak nak cari buah jambu, tp tadek. Smp kat Tapah, mkan malam n borong jambu utk mak. Beli pau utk my own bfast n lunch tmr. Dan..Baskin & Robbin (mint choc chip with choc sauce n peanut..sooooo yummy)..bak kate rina, alang2 dah melantak mcm2..biarlaa makan betul2..indeed..that was very sweet conclusion of our 4d 3n trip to penang.

Penang - What & Where
Must eat delicacies - pasembur, nasi kandar, char kuew teow, sotong kangkung, kerang bakar

p/s: minta maaf kalo terlebih kate, tersilap laku mase jejalan tu..

Jalan2 Cari Makan Penang Day 2

slps bersiap2, kitorg sume pegi ke kedai tayar Michelin. Utk menukar tayar. First, diorg cek which sides of tayar yg bocor. Rupenye side tepi, thus nak tanak kenalaa tukar.Pas tawar menawar n both sides agreed with the final price, keja memasang tayar baru pun bermula. As the work progressed, diorg pun check for the rest of the tyres, n rupenye, ade satu lagi tayar yg bocor tepi. Then, this had triggered us that, maybe nie keja sumone at the g*urney drive. Teorinye, kitorg park depan umah org (tp tak block keta kuar masuk). Then, org jaga parking situ bengang sbb tak dpt nak caj kitorg tiket sbb bukan kat petak parking. So diorg pun did something kat dua2 belah tayar belah kiri (spy org len tak nampak).kalo org kat parking night market yg buat, it will take sometimes utk tayar tu pancit. Entah pape tah. Akibatnye, ayah Rina kena tukar sume tayar, which cost a lot! Yelaa, tukar tayar keta ferari kan?

Abis tukar tayar, kitorg terus ke jeti. YeY! Kitorg akan g seberang naik feri! It had been like 6 years since the last time aku naik feri.Fyi, kalo naik feri g seberang, it cost u nothing. But kalo dr seberang ke pulau, it will be RM7.70 per car. The ride took about 15-20 minutes. Too bad fatin tido. Maybe die tgh kumpul energy utk hari yg penuh aktiviti tu. But the rest of us; me, rina n azhar – sibuk bergamba n menikmati angin laut.Refreshing!

Smp je seberang perai, n kawan ayah rina dtg menjemput(her dad ade gathering) kitorg sume memulekan aktiviti mencari brunch. There, kitorg jumpe siti subaidah nasi kandar. Our first trip to nasi kandar outlet. By that time, Fatin dah terjaga n excited nak makan nasi kandar gak. I took ½ portion of nasi tomato n cari chicken breast. With fresh orange. Rina plak hepi bile jumpe telur ikan.sedap! mmg lain laa dr kl punye. Kitorg ber 4 makan – RM34++..agak murah tu..

Energy dah ade, next destination, Kampung aku@Kg Masjid Baru Sg Bakap. Sbb dah 6 tahun tak balik, aku mmg tak konfiden langsung yg aku still igt jalan. Mesti dah byk development kat situ kan? So utk hampir 30 minit kitorg sesat nak mencari tol menghala ke kl. Kesian n cuak gak aku tgk azhar. Takut die marah. Kesian sbb penatlaa drive kalo tak pasti hala tuju. But the thing is aku sendri tak dpt nak figure out as the signboard wasn’t helping at all. Alhamdulillah, berjaya gak sampai ke tol. We exit at Bkt Tambun, n then from there I was on the phone with my cousin asking for guide. Last2 smp gak. Mmg tak dpt nak describe, betapa bestnye bau kg! tp aku terkejut tgk umah arwah tok wan terbiar n penuh lalang.(I wish I could do something about this.Which I will do something when I got enough saving)

Sampai je, Mak long aku perli “takyah laa balik kg pas nie” as expected. Hehe. Happy to see them n the house too. Mak long jamu kitorg dgn cendol pulut n kuih raya(Rina seemed like enjoying the kueh raya) Aku layan cendol je. Before that kitorg sebuk cek hasil belian kat pasar malam smlm. N pastu azhar n rina bergoogle map using the celcom broadband yg laju kat situ. Mak rina sibuk berborak ngan Mak Long. Aku pulak sibuk mengejar fatin yg ligat main kat tangga.(budak tgh nak belajar berjalan laa katakan) b4 balik, aku amiklaa 2-3 keping gamba umah arwah tok wan.

Mission utama nak jumpe mak long dah setel. Misi seterusnye, g amik ayah rina kat jeti feri. So, kitorg balik ke pulau. Destinasi seterusnye – Pasar Chowrasta kat Penang Road. Kitorg nak mencari jeruk2 utk dibawa balik. Mmg byk jenis jeruk ade. My favourite – Salak madu n Asam Kelubi. Mashyuk!. So pas aku try taste aneka jeruk kat situ. Aku bungkus laa 3-4 jenis jeruk. Buah pala utk mak. Mangga utk adik. Salak n kelubi utk aku. Sumenye less than rm10. pas borong jeruk, kitorg mkn ptg kat warung tepi pasar chowrasta. Aku minum air sirap special(kelapa+sirap+telur katak+eskem soda). N mkan cucur udang yg sgtttt sedap. Lelain makan laksa (aku teringin gak nak mkn..tp memandangkan laksa adelaa agen pencernaan aku, aku terpaksa lupekan).

Sume dah kepenatan. Balik2 je terus tido. Around 10pm baru kuar mencari makan. Tp yg kuar nye; aku, rina n azhar. Kitorg cari Nasi Kandar Beratur.kalo tadek baru g padang kota lama. Tp mmg kitorg jumpe.(Betul2 tepi masjid kapitan keling) Dtg2 dah ramai beratur. Sbbnye; kedai nie terkenal, mknn sedap n hanya buka pada 10 mlm ke atas.(sorry to my personal n public trainer, terpaksa makan nasi waktu mlm) my choice-nasi separuh,ayam chicken breast, kuah rendang, timun n telur dadar n sirap limau. Slurrpp..mkn laju je.sbb sedap. Pas dah nak abis makan tu, adelaa sorang pakcik ni dtg berpantun. Memule buat bodoh je. Tp best plak pantun die.(sbb pantun die cam melibatkan kitorg skali) rina pun bglaa upah kat pakcik tu. We ended up hearing 4 rangkap pantun drpd pakcik tu b4 die dihalau.

Pas makan nasi kandar, kitorg cari polarized lens n lampu2 utk dijadikan cenderamata. Aku? Aku sibuk bergamba dgn lampu2.

Walk2 Search Food @ Penang Day 1

you know..we can only plan..but the rest..is up to Allah..well that was exactly happened to our Penang Trip..initially mawar had agreed to join the trip..but due to some last minute arrangement (which frankly had made me feel so frustrated and with a bit of anger), she had to pass the trip..(nway..i just let this go..as it was for good reason and i shud have expected this)..as she wasnt going..i was pretty sure that i wont be going too..as it was quite impossible to fit 5 of us with a car seat in a persona..but then, after discussion, rina n azhar decided it was ok to leave the car seat at home, however, we have to take turn to hold fatin..which was not a big deal at all as who doesnt love that cute adorable lil gal?

so on friday, around 12pm, rina n family fetched me..as it was eve of deepavali, the road was a bit jam packed with ppl going back to hometown and also due to minor accident..we exit at rawang toll..n had our lunch at tapah R&R..Fatin hardly fall asleep during the trip..might be she was over excited with her first trip to Penang plus not having her car seat kinda made her sleeping process a bit harder than usual..we reached penang at almost 6pm..our accomodation was at Rumah Peranginan Pe*tronas..the apartment unit was big, equipped with basic kitchen utensils..unfortunately, it was at 4th floor..though it was tough for us to walk up n down, but look at the bright side! that was the best form of exercise that we could possibly need for all the nasi kandar n delicacies that we will consumed later..

that nite, we had our dinner at gurney drive..we had char kuew teow@RM3 per plate, pasembur(a mix of various kind of fritters + cuttlefish +with sliced cucumber and sengkuang in spicy special peanut sauce)@RM20 (price varies, depending on what you pick n mix)..and sotong kangkung@RM6 per plate while fatin ate mihun sup..the food might be a bit over priced..but it still within our budget..

our next stop was the night market at batu feringhi..it was a long strech of night market at just one side of the road..what you can find at the market? cheap bag,souveniers,tshirts, and lots2 of good things..heheh..we bought few..and decided to call it a day after buying a pelampung for fatin..then the unexpected things happened..the front tyre had been punctured..luckilly there is spare tyre and two tough men to save the day..we had few speculations over how the tyre had been punctured..1st-maybe to some unknown sharp things laid over the road..2nd-someone at the parking lot did that..3rd-someone at the gurney drive did that(this was the most possible reason) . .want to know why? wait for the 2nd day journal . .

sweet!

aku ske benda yg manis. sama ada makanan atau pun aspek2 kehidupan aku. tp mustahil laa idup nie akan selalu yg manis saje? tak puas idup laa. jadinye, sementara ade yg manis. kite nikmatinye. mcm lagu korea nie. respek org yg boleh tulis lirik mcm nie. mmg antara lagu luahan hati yg terbaik!



entah sejak dari bila
fikiranku jadi keliru keranamu
selalu terfikirkan dirimu
buat hatiku rasa gelisah

seringkali beritahu diriku mungkin tiada apa apa
mungkin aku yg terlalu memikirkannya
asyik beritahu diriku
cukuplah . . .
tapi jadi semakin tidak munasabah

adakah itu cinta
adakah kau juga sama denganku
adakah itu permulaan
hatiku tak henti2 berkata aku cinta padamu
macamlah menjerit-jerit pada seluruh dunia
mengapa kini baru aku terdengar
tujuan kita bertemu adalah demi cinta ini

p/s: aku rase cam tak bape betul laa lately! sengal~

agaknye . .

muke hero korea nie ade iras2 dgn muka sape? puas aku pk nie . .

on ppl

there are ppl who we can make plan with and will follow the plan..which is great..
there are ppl who we can make plan with and sometime will follow sometime will not..which is quite predictable..
there are ppl who we can make plan with but will not follow the plan..which is too bad..
and last but not least there are ppl who we cant make plan with but we have to be ready for any adhoc plan..which is . . . . .

but rest assured. . life is full of unexpected thingy. . today you want something. . the next day you want the other something . .

-cakap yg tak bermakna-

operasi pai ayam dan cendawan

atas permintaan mak dan adik aku, akhirnye aku buat gak chicken pie yg diorg ske sgt tu. bahan2nye sgt simple..

Bahan2 utk kulit pai: diced cold butter 250g, tepung gandum 456g, telur kuning sebiji, 1/4 cawan cold water.

cara2: buat rubbing proses dulu, which involved butter n flour. after dah cam rupe bread crumb, baru masuk telur n air. then, baru uli2 smp jd doh. then simpan dlm peti ais dlm lebih kurang 1/2-1 jam.

inti ayam dan cendawan: 1 tin sup cream of mushroom (campbell), carrot/sayur campur, 200g isi ayam dihiris halus, 50ml susu, sedikit garam dan lada hitam yg ditumbuk. campur je sume dlm periuk. masak smp mendidih. sejukkan supaya inti jd pekat.



pas tu uli doh. letak dlm acuan atau buat bulatan2 sederhana besar n letak inti. pastu bakar dlm 15 minit. suhu tu aku tk igt lak. rasenye dlm 150-180 degree kot.

p/s: resipi dr Women's Weekly. tp dah ubahsuai skit.

perihal mendirikan masjid lagi

aku lupe nak tambah, faktor2 mempengaruhi kos kenduri kendara nie..permintaan mak ayah/keluarga sbnrnye mmg mengcontribute jugak ke arah mahal atau tidak sesuatu majlis tu. ade mak ayah yg ske simple, ikut yg rukun. ade mak ayah yg ske besar n meriah. lg plak yg ade sedara mara ramai gileeeeee. sah2 laa kos tu akan bertambah.

tmpt nak buat wedding pun boleh buat kos kawen tu mahal. pas aku tgk2 n survey2, aku rase wedding kat umah adelaa paling bagus skali. yg tak bagusnye cume panas n ujan saje. (tulaa dtg petua, pengantin pompuan kena baling baju yg dipakai before tukar baju pengantin kat atas bumbung, moga2 dpt cuaca baik sepanjang majlis.mcm2)ape yg bagus buat kat umah? most of fren n saudara dah tau umah kat mane. so diorg tak rase susah nak dtg. jiran2 pun sah2 laa akan dtg. lg ramai dtg lg bagus. nape? sbb adab dan adat laa org dtg akan hulur something. so wpun tak terkaver sume, at least dpt return dlm 40-50% pun dah sgt bagus! keduanye, hotel n dewan2 mostly kenakan caj yg mahal. walhal caj tu kalo pasang khemah kat umah, dah boleh dpt yg the best. so? cume, skang trend org lebih ske buat kat dewan. sbb abis cite kat situ saje. tak payah pk nak kemas umah. n ade certain2 tmpt, lg murah buat kat dewan dr umah. so ikut koranglaa.

smlm sbb aku bosan dan sedang dlm mode pk baju ape nak pakai utk kenduri kawen kawan2 pada minggu depan, aku sesaje laa wat simple calculation bape kos perkahwinan mengikut cara aku. memandangkan aku tgh ske kat org jauh, so aku assume akan buat wedding tpt lain. (haha..sungguh tak relevan)

Jamuan makan : RM6 sorang X 600 org = RM3,600
Door gift: Gula2 RM1
sorang X 600 org = RM600
Photographer (aku ske bergambar) : RM2,500
Khemah = RM1,500
Kad jemputan = RM0.50 X 400 = RM200
Pelamin,Baju,Mekap=RM2,000
Kompang dan mcm2 lg = RM2,000

jumlah:RM 12,400

Ok. aku rase sgt berangan nak dpt lg murah drp nie. nie pun aku rase cam tak realistik(atau sgt murah). Papehal pun, tang nak wat kenduri kawen nie aku rase bersyukur aku nie pompuan, takyah nak pening sgt nak cari duit lubang mane(bunyi cam selfish lak :P). simpan gaji tiap2 bulan, insya allah lepas. Sebenarnye tak perlu nak risau sgt hal duit nak buat kenduri nie. kalo buat ikut kemampuan, takan smp bergolok gadai..kalo dr awal dah menyimpan utk mase depan, takan ade masalah nie gak. dan selebihnye berdoa laa pada Allah moga dimurahkan rezeki. Insya allah, dgn izinnye akan dtglaa rezeki dr mcm2 cara yg tak disangka..:)

p/s: poyo laa cite pasal kawen nie, walhal diri sendri still single.. :P

perihal masjid . .

(pendapat saje. tadek kena mengena dgn sesape yg dah kawin dan bakal berkawin dlm tempoh terdekat nie)

Dalam dua bulan nie je, aku dah pegi beberapa wedding member. dan pada minggu2 yg akan dtg ade lagi 3-4 kenduri utk aku terjah. Kawan sekolah, kawan utp. Boleh dikatakan skang nie musim org mendirikan masjid sbb baru abis raya n menghampiri cuti sekolah dan akhir tahun. Dan seperti biasa aku yg masih pegi kenduri sorang2 atau berteman member pompuan/ adik/member yg dah kawin, akan diaju soklan cepu mas “ bile turn ko”, alhamdulillah, so far aku masih mampu bertenang sambil tersengih2 dgn bagi jawapan skema aku, ‘belum smp jodoh lg’ . walhal kadang2 dlm hati aku ade skit menyumpah “tau laa dah selamat.. takyah laa nak berlagak2 tanye kat aku plak, igt aku ske jawab soklan camnie?” tulaa pekdahnye berpk sblm bercakap. Bayangkanlaa kalo aku jawab camnie..sure mood masing2 ilang.

Berbalik pada topik yg aku nak ungkaikan kali nie.adekah kawin tu mahal sebenarnye? Dr segi batinnye kawin tu mmg mahal. Atau lebih kepada sesuatu tak ternilai. Yelah, menuntut kesabaran, tanggungjawab, tolak ansur dan mcm2 lg. Tp pada zahirnye, kawin tu tak semestinye mahal. Mahal yg aku cakap nie dr segi kos. Dan seperti yg ditulis oleh seorang kawan didalam blog die, aku setuju 80% yg kos mengadakan majlis perkahwinan skang mmg mahal.

Nape boleh jadi mahal? Taraf kehidupan? Mungkin. Takanlaa harta berjuta nak wat kenduri kat masjid je kan? Ape class ek? Atau mengikut trend? Mungkin jugak. Atau sbb mengikut adat(merisik, bertunang,bernikah,berinai,bersanding,bertandang…arrghh byknye ber2) walhal, asalnye, nape nak merisik2 kalo mmg dah masing2 hangat bercinta? Lainlaa org dulu2 (dan segelintir org skang) usha anak dara org dr jauh, bile berkenan bgtau mak (mak pun usha dan berkenan) pun pegi merisik. Bertunang? Dulu hanya bg cincin. Mkn ape yg tuan rumah makan. Keta pun satu je. Skang berketa2. siap si bakal suami ketuai rombongan meminang. ;p lain2 takyah cite laa..

Kalo ikut aku la. Bertunang+bernikah+bersanding = 1 hari punye cite. Buat byk hari mmg menambah kos yg tak perlu; kos amik gamba, amik video, perjalanan, mkn2. Kalo ditakdirkan dgn org dkt, aku buat skali. Kalo org jauh,tgk keadaan.. Buat kenduri skali mmg menjimatkan sbb kos boleh dikongsi, dan byk pakej offer lebih penjimatan kalo lebih ramai jemputan. Nape nak bertunang gak? Owh, aku nak tambah koleksi cincin kot.Hantaran tu cite belakang. Sbb nie atas budi bicara org yg nak berkawin tu. Kalo masing2 high taste, mahal laa kos brg hantaran dan sebaliknye.

p/s:chop! Stop kejap! Kena makan ubat.

p/s 2: aku ckp cam expert, walhal aku br penah g kursus kawen skali mase kat utp dan pernah handle wedding adik aku skali je.

penat!

bukan badan yg penat. tp otak yg penat. aku penat berpk. penat berpk nape si polan tk dtg smlm. walhal aku dah lame gle tak jumpe n nak la cakap sepatah dua kata. mungkin sbb smlm byk sgt undangan open house dan kenduri kendara yg perlu dipenuhi kot. atau mungkin sbb die tak jumpe dewan? hahaha..mustahil

penat berpk. nape beria2 merancang sesuatu, kalo akhirnye tak dpt jadi kenyataan. tp kalo tak merancang, kemungkinan utk jadi kenyataan tu tadek langsung. takpela. mungkin Allah nak uji, camne aku nak atasi keadaan mcm nie. aku hampir nak melatah. tp aku pk2 balik, masing2 ade kesusahan sendiri, masing2 ade sbb dan masing2 pk masih ade yg lain kali . .

macam mana kalo tidak ade yang lain kali? macam mana kalo ini yg terakhir ? :) takpelaa..biarlah Allah yg menentukan

stop trying . .

dear blogger,

decided to stop trying. stop asking. stop interfering. he's not getting my signal. he is already out of the coverage. it is just so so weird. i wish i could asked him. but i couldnt. i dont have the right. no. i dont have the gut. i have my pride. my ego. that i wish to keep intact. to him. u're so weird. back then, u can say all the nice thing to me. n the next day. u completely ignored me. i dont wish to go with the flow anymore. in love there ain't any flow to follow. if u're into someone. that's it. if u're not. that means u are really are. we just dont have that chemistry. -the end-

p.s: this monologue sounded too cliche . is it bcoz i watched too many korean series?

bulan bahasa kebangsaan.

memandangkan bulan ini adalah bulan bahasa kebangsaan, wajarkah aku menulis dalam bahasa kebangsaan sahaja? tidak boleh di campur-campur? sebenarnya rasa sukar hendak menulis hanya dalam bahasa melayu/malaysia sahaja. bukan kerana aku sudah lupa diri. tapi kerana kehidupan seharian lebih byk mempraktikan penggunaan bahasa rojak. takut tidak sampai apa yang cuba aku sampaikan. jadi kesimpulannya, aku tangguhkan dahulu hasrat murni aku itu.tak pe. . niat itu yang penting. .

me & FF - starting out

Somewhere in January. inline with my b/f new year resolutions, i decided to accomplish at least one of it; which is to lose weight. so, on that friday me n rakan2 ofis (just 3 of us) went to FF. there we met the membership consultant (he’s quite cute and very good in persuading ppl). after explaining mcm2 about the club, he brought us for a tour at the club. At the end, after not that much consideration, i decided to give it a try. so akhirnye i became the club member. overall i paid around RM256 for admin fee and bodyfirst pack. This bodyfirst pack come with 3 session with Personal Trainer and a set of books (exercising+eating+bodyjournal).beside that i also received a backpack+face towel+drinking bottle. soo excited to start!

what make me choose FF?

- the facilities is good

- good accessibility to public transport n shopping mall

- nearby my office

- based on review by the ex-members/members

what to do before joining a fitness club?

- survey the location/branch

- survey the price

- budget for monthly expenses

- search for cheaper option; membership transfer can always offers u cheaper monthly subscription fee

- come out with a time shedule

- think whether r u ready for that kind of commitment

it is tough actually . .

when i had two blog to handle at the same time. this blog had been my 1st n active blog, while the other one (word press) had been dormant since few months ago. earlier, i tot that i should separate story on my hobby n passion into other blog rather than making a rojak inside this blog. to assist in easy browsing. but who cares? it's my blog, my own territory, my own aspiration, my own style. i can mix my blog contents like rojak or abc or pasembur if i want to (i'm on penang mood). so, today i decided i'll just merge everything under "Ancient Typewriter". u'll be seeing backdated entries which i'll be posting later. :)

have you got it?

finally, the 2010 IKEA catalogue had reached our neighbourhood area. i was so happy n excited. mum is planning to renovate the kitchen and install new cabinet. i'm planning to make another round of revamping my bedroom. dear frens, if u happened planning to drop by at IKEA soon, can i tag along? pls..:)

takde rahsia

exam bulan 8..resultnye plak baru kuar skang. smp aku dh lupe yg aku penah amik exam nie. smp aku assume aku dah fail. owh. aku assume aku fail sbb aku pening pk byk sgt level nak go thru kalo pas exam. nyesal tak amik awal2. dulu, kalo dah pas, terus g kem intan. skang siap ade pra-intan tu lagi. jenuh!

org kate exam ptd susah. hmm. mmg susah. yg senang soklan maths je :p. rahsia aku lulus: bace buku pengajian am stpm. baca paper tiap2 hari. tgk berite tiap2 hari. hafal dictionary. tidak! tu bukan rahsia aku. aku just jadi rakyat malaysia boleh. tahu membaca. tahu bergosip. tahu speakang. tahu mcm2 la. alhamdulillah. tu sume kurniaan Allah.

p/s: doakan aku pas sume level. dpt offer ptd. n kalo by that time aku masih single, doakan aku dpt post kat oversea(read: Korea/German/Holland). Ade sorang member aku doakan aku dpt PNG..cet! doakan dpt g mauritius tu lagi bagus k! :p

#qepoh get-together day . .

asalnye, cume luncheon wif #qepoh-ians. (fyi: #qepoh terdiri drpd ex-v3es, batch jan 2000, and terdiri dr berbilang course) asalnye jugak, tak sangka hampir sume dpt menghadirkan diri, except for mawar, rina n pdah (keja jauh n lunch time tak lame) dan asalnye nk makan di food court klcc tu je. tp tak bestlaa utk kitorg mkn lame2 borak lame2 amik2 gamba n gelak kuat2(oopss) so, kuasa veto umumkan makan kat nandos. yg nie mmg menarik. b4 this cam susah gle nak g nandos (xde geng+ xde masa), tp tetibe melimpah aktiviti mkn kat nandos laa plak(iftar,luncheon, belanje dll). syukur!

aspa picked me up at home sumwhere around 11 while i was busy dressed up and make up. reached there 11++, had short window shopping trip at vincci. around 12 @ nandos waiting for the arrival of the rest of the attendees. by 2pm(after dah setel makan+2 rounds of refill for the bottomless ice lemon tea) the final member arrived. surprise surprise, she introduced us to her ehem ehem (nmpknye #qepoh akan tambah ahli baru lg nnt) tak sempat nak borak lame, as dah duk kat nandos for 3 hrs and nak elak jam, kami beransur pas sume kira2 disetelkan. btw, sblm luncheon bersurai, aspa make adhoc invitation to her house@ batu arang for another round makan2 mlm tu. so, kami yg bujang dan duduk berdekatan nie pun say "YES" laa.

mlm tu, plan asal bertolak lepas maghrib. tp atas sbb2 yg tk dpt dielakkan, kami bertolak dr selayang lepas isyak.(konfem miss Nur Kasih). 5 org dlm satu myvi. 10 minit perjalanan menghala rawang, kitorg trap dlm kesesakan yg tak sepatutnye berlaku.(dh lebih 20 tahun aku lalu jln rawang nie balik utp/kg, keadaannye still same, jln sempit, berlobang2, tadek perubahan besar) slps melepasi jln jam, kami melalui pekan rawang, hutan2, bandar tasik puteri, hutan2, dan sempat sesat sekejap sblm tiba ke umah aspa. seriously, pegi mlm n pegi siang, sgt2 berbeza. seb baik kitorg ber5! bertolak 8.45mlm smp 10.10 kot. smp je, kami mmg dah sgt lapar. mengadap nasi + ayam goreng + sayur campur + masak lemak cili padi udang + kek lapis oreo dan kerepek seaweed baram (hahaha) sambil layan herbie fully loaded smp kul 12 mlm. pergghhh..2nd time aku beraya balik pas kul 12. the 1st time; mase 2001 konvoi raya ex-semesta (dr tghari smp ke 1++ pagi).. dr batu arang ke selayang another 50 min. sbnrnye, aku mmg ade skit goosebumps laa..balik umah after 12, lalu plak utan2, bandar sunyi2. seb baik keta penuh, kalo tak, aku rela tdo kat umah aspa jek. (dan rela dilecture dgn mak sendri keesokkan harinye) ;p

special thanx to aspa for the transportation pegi n balik luncheon. pada cik nor transportation pegi n balik dr mkn2 kat batu arang. pada aspa lg for makan2 yg sedap n sudi menerime tetamu walau dh after 10. pada #qepoh-ian yg dpt dtg memeriahkan majlis. :)

sekali lagi?

Perancangan awal tu dah bermule since April. Tp asyik ditangguhkan sbb tgh peak period at office. As usual audit for year end 31st Dec 2008. then, slowly suasana kat ofis dah berubah. It wasn’t anybody’s fault. Everybody esp the boss had their own right to throw tantrum and mengamuk at the office whenever they want or like though it wasn’t anybody’s fault at the 1st place. However, having to go thru that almost every day was such nightmare to me. then, one day I decided that I had enough. I handed in the letter. N now I’m an auditor with 3 years exp, finalist of ACCA is jobless, and looking for new opportunities. As much I had enough with audit (esp the travel to kawasan pendalaman yg tatau ceruk mane), n pray hard for position in commercial sector, I know that in this recession time, the choices might be abundant, so do the competition, thus cannot be too picky. It is fun to browse thru recruitment section in the Star, it is enjoyable sending out resume thru email, hate the interview part, most of all hate the 1st week at a new place. But then, it is the only option that I have, to work for my dreams. Yeah..officially jobless again for the 2nd time in 4 years..

the hesitation . .

dear blogger,

i met him at a social event. he seemed like a nice person and at the same acting reserved. as he didnt ask for my no i'd guess he didnt interested, however, after weeks passed, i bumped into him wif a girl. i assumed she is his gf. decided to back off. then, things started to take a twist when we kept unaccidentally/accidentally bump into each other. sometimes he treated me well, sometimes he being cold to me. i was confused with my own feelings. do i really liked him? do i have to do something?
