Donuts and Birthdays in relation with Books

Today I had a very interesting day, really interesting day.

In fact, my friends too had interesting day today.

And it all thanks to Birthdays-Donuts-Books.

Thanks to Zeiad, for its his birthday today. Thanks to him because it became an excuse for us to have some fun, kept asking for yummy birthday cake from him, hihihi. The party should be bigger, but what to do, Muath and Kak Ena can't make it, so we were left to four. We bought a dozen of donuts from J.Co, yummy ones, hihhii, have fun at choosing our donuts, great time! Happy birthday to you Zeiad ^_^ and thank you for buying Kak Shirin, Kak Marine and me each a refreshing drinks, hihi.

The fun didn't stop there though, for we went up to Borders to window shopping for books (supposedly), but being me, I just can't stop myself from buying books, especially when I suddenly eyed a book about vampire love story, ahhaha.

So off I went, to the nearest ATM machine, to withdraw money and rushed back to the store to buy the book, fearing someone might steal the book, ahhaha (ya, that'll happen if I had a twin ^_^)

Anyway, the book's title is Love Bites by Lynsay Sands.

But I think (as I walked to and from the ATM machine), it was as if I had burnt all the energy the donuts had supplied me, because the distance from Borders to the ATM machine was really long, Borders was on the southern wing of the mall, while the ATM machine was on the northern wing, ahahha.

So I suppose the relation of books, donuts and birthdays is that today is Zeiad's birthday which enabled us to savoured some delicious donuts, many flavours actually, hihi, then coincidently a visit to the book store which attracted me to buy a book.

Which in a final conclusion got me thinking, we should do this more often and on the 1st of March should be another day of fun, because we'll be celebrating Kak Marine's birthday, yay! ^_^

Okay, full stop.

One day in my messy life

Today is one of the day that I felt like burying my head in the ground.

It is definitely one of the day in life that frustration takes over.

It is unbearable to think what will certain people whose opinion are extremely important to me, think. Can't help feeling bad.

Perhaps I've let them down, when I had no intention of doing so.

So many times today I felt like stopping whatever I'm doing and just head home.

But because I've decided long time ago that frustration shall not be allowed to win over motivation, I practically gulped down frustration.

Nothing else to do as the day marked its end, but to pray for better flow tomorrow.

Bapakku ^_^ (My Father)

Yesterday was really amusing for our house and everyone in it.

Everybody was sneezing and running after handkerchiefs and face tissues - of course, hehe.

Wait, I'm trying to remember what else had happened that were funny..................................................hmm......oh my, sorry I think I forgot everything else except only 1 thing that I'll sure remember.

It was in the evening, to be more accurate it was during sunset.

Bapak was in his usual comfortable spot - right in front of his pc, playing his favourite game ever, NFS, when he suddenly yelled for Mama (yeah I know its a strange combination Bapak - Mama)

Mama was not really pleased though, because she was busy with the drama series on tv she's following. But because it was her husband calling, she went down to see what was his need.

Not later than a minute, I heard they laughed like they always did, so I thought there must be something funny they were sharing. But because I was sending an email to someone, I ignored the temptation of going downstairs to find out the cause of their laugh.

However (and I was not surprised at all), they both called for me. And later I was running downstairs to Bapak.

He said "Come stand behind my chair, exactly behind my chair, okay? Now, tell me what do you see?"

Puzzled and should I also say bedazzled (hahha, somehow I suddenly remember that movie), I replied, "If you mean something else beside the our window and curtains and then the windows of the front house; I think I should say I'm seeing a spot of mirror image of the sun during sunset".

To tell you the truth, I was kind of afraid that I'll get a knock on the back of my head for elaborating details, hahhaha.

But lucky me, Bapak only laughed and said "Yeah, true right? I thought it was something else you know, before I took a deeper look and thought about what I saw too before I called both of you".

"So, what did you thought it was initially, Bapak?"

"I thought it was going to be KIAMAT (end of the world), because that front house is on the east and sun never goes down on the east".

It'll surely will be a kiamat one day, but it was not yesterday.

Moments and people I'll never trade, luv them so much ^_^

Me in Mama

Today I discovered something - it's something that I thought funny, bizarre, odd, and funny again - it's about me actually, hehe.

I had just been told that my Mama delivered me into this wonderful world via c-section - not this one though, I've known this my entire life -the one that I've just been told is why Mama had me through c-section. Its because my position in her womb was something that is called "Breech" in medical term. Breech means I had my butt / legs (not sure, she did said, but I can't recalled, due to bad memory I seem to have these few days, LOL) first, rather than my head, hehhe.

To think that even being born I was already naughty, I guess it explains why I'm such a big teaser to Mama, ahahahaha. I can't think of a single day that I didn't tease or bother or annoy her, hehhe.

It must have been really painful for Mama to have carried me in her womb with me being so active, like she said I was ^_^

There's another fact that I learnt about me today, - I was 3.5kg when Mama delivered me.

I suppose, I had enough of being fat (since I was the heaviest of all my siblings during delivery, hehe), perhaps that's why the cells in my body are telling each other to not let me get chubby or near the NORMAL WEIGHT , hehe. They want me to be skinny this time around, they rather stay skinny, not much work I suppose, hehehe.

Anyway, today's epic tale of me from my Mama's womb into this wonderful, blessed world is of course one thing that I'll sure treasure all my life.

From Mama's womb to the world.

Life is Great

A few misfortunes might have occur, but nonetheless, it's about how we cope with them and finding the best remedy.

"Life is just too great to reminisce about small details named misery; for there'll always be a rainbow for us to dance around after each terrifying storm"

By: Syima Muslim

Life is Beautiful

Life is wonderful

Life is great

Life is beautiful

Life should never be blamed

For the tragedies

For the tears we shed

For the hope that never arrives

For the dreams that were never real

For the mistakes done

Life is a remedy

Life is the greatest cure

One has to offer

In time

Because life's a book

For us to learn

And to see

The truth and mystic

The wrong and right

The devil and angel

The black and white

Yes, sometimes life caused endless pain, misery

But life always brighten our day with a rainbow

For us to dance around and enjoy

Over the disaster

And to appreciate the triumph

So life should never be judged or accused

Over misfortunes in life

Because life is just too wonderful

If we just open our eyes and see its wonders

Life is beautiful...

What I had in Mind

Today is Sunday, and while Sunday should sound wonderful, sometimes Sunday also sounds uninteresting, haha.

Maybe because I'm thinking, the day after Sunday is Monday, which means the start of weekdays, and weekdays is........ = no fun, hahaha

Today I went to Borders to buy a book, a few people I know recommended this book to me, and yeah, I do think I need to start reading this kind of book, to help me gain momentum and hope and spirit and all the positive attitudes I need so badly now ^_^

The book's title is La Tahzan (Don't Be Sad / Jangan Bersedih). Its been on the market for quite some time, but I was never a big fan of motivational books, so I didn't pay attention. Perhaps its about time to add this kind of book into my book-shopping list.

Hopefully I'll finish this book faster or at least at the same speed that I finished The Twilight Saga books ( 1 book 1 day, ^_^)

Anyway, today I remembered an interesting line, lets call it a quote, by a dear friend of mine, Kak Marine :

"Thinking process has damage your body"

No wonder I'm skinny, hahhaha, LOL

But it's okay I suppose, given exception that the mind is not damage, yet ^_^ Hopefully, will not, hehehe.

La Tahzan is calling.

Take care 'cause I care ^_^

There is an interesting quotes originally created by a dear friend of mine, Marine Jiejie, which we enjoyed so much, as we thought it was funny and have deeper meaning.

Meletup!!

Pagi ini time berbual-bual dgn Kak Shirin (salah seorang senior saya yang sangat baik), kami tetiba menimbulkan perkataan "meletup" ini dalam perbualan..hihi, walaupun actually perbualan kami berkisar tentang benda lain, perkataan "meletup" itu sort of keep hanging at the back of my mind during the conversation and triggered some memories relating to that word.

Hahaha, I think sometimes I have some character of Chuck (it's one of my favourite tv series actually, hehehe), which when Chuck sees something, it'll triggers his mind to related events about the thing he saw. Hahaha, it's crazy how close our lives can be with those portrayed on tv, but most of the time I found it rather cute, hahaha ^_^

Anyway, berbalik kepada "meletup" --> tendency untuk lari topik yang sepatutnya sangat tinggi, haha.

Ada beberapa memories yang kelakar pada saya tentang word ini, dengan tambahan satu cerita dari Kak Shirin ^_^

Yang terus terlintas di fikiran saya bila word "meletup" ini muncul adalah tentang "meletup dan Mama saya", hihihi.

Mama saya, bukanlah seorang yang pandai mengendalikan alatan elektronik dan ini termasuklah komputer dan handphone nya sendiri. Tapi yang saya nak kongsi di sini bukanlah tentang handphone nya, perhaps some other time, when my mind is triggered by some other word / topic, hehe.

Mama saya memang tak pandai guna komputer, dia macam ada satu ketakutan pada komputer, katanya, takut kalau tersalah tekan / klik, lain pula yang jadinya. Tapi beberapa tahun kebelakangan ni, Mama berminat pulak nak main games kat komputer, simple games, jadi dia belajar la cara nak hidupkan komputer, mana nak cari game kegemaran yang saya letakkan di desktop dan terus main dan lepas main, boleh pangkah je (exit) lepas habis main, then shutdown.

Itu saja yang Mama saya tahu buat dengan komputer, bunyinya sangat comel, hihihi.

Adapun (lets go classical, haha) Bapak saya berbeza pulak, dia boleh tahan pandai main / explore kegunaan programmes dalam komputer dan game, bak makan kacang saja padanya, hehe.

Kedua-dua insan kesayangan saya ni main games yang berbeza, jadi selalunya bila Bapak saya main game dia then dia tinggalkan tanpa exit game tu (which memang selalu dia buat), saya la yang jadi tukang exit game tu supaya Mama saya boleh main game favourite dia pulak.

Caution: Mama saya tak tahu nak handle keadaan lain berkaitan komputer selain daripada yang telah dihuraikan di atas, hahaha ^_^ Jadi suatu hari, seperti hari-hari biasa juga, Mama mintak saya tolong exit game Bapak saya supaya dia boleh main game nya pulak. Namun, instead of helping her, saya suruh Mama buat sendiri, sebab saya dah penat menunjukkan hari-hari macam mana dan mana nak klik kalau nak exit game Bapak. Tapi jawapan yang saya dapat dari Mama sangatla menggeletek hati saya dan Bapak yang kebetulan lalu di situ, "Tak mau la Mama nak buat, tak reti la, nanti meletup komputer tu!"

Satu cerita sumbangan Kak Shirin; adapun (sorry, can't help going classical, hihihi) seperti yang diceritakan olehnya kepada saya sambil tergelak-gelak tanpa henti (which telah menyebabkan saya turut bergelak ketawa jugak, biarpun saya belum tahu hujung pangkalnya, hahhaha) adalah seperti berikut:

Menurut Kak Shirin (yep, I used to have a dream of becoming a reporter ^_^), hal ni berlaku masa dia kanak-kanak. Dia menonton tv sampai lewat malam, alone. Sedang enak menonton, tetiba kedengaran bunyi seperti plastik yang dipenyek-penyek. Tapi memandangkan tak ada apa yang dia nampak suspicious, dia teruskan saja menonton.

Tapi malang memang tak berbau agaknya, tetiba tv nya tetiba ada bunyi macam meletup yang minor dan berasap dan terus out, no visual dah kat kaca tv tu!

Dia bagitau ibunya, terus ibunya datang matikan sumber elektrik tv tu. Lepas tu, tv tu dah tak dapat ditonton lagi dah, hihihi.

Agaknya memang betul jugak na, tv boleh meletup kalau tonton lama-lama sangat eh??

Hmm, sepatutnya, saya ada lagi satu cerita tentang "meletup" ni...unfortunately, saya dah terlupa pulak dah apa cerita nya..Lately saya mengalami masalah cepat sangat terlupa apa yang saya tengah fikir, hahaha, jangan lepas ni terlupa nama sendiri sudah la ^_^

"Meletup"

Kentut

Ya, tajuknya kentut, memang awak tak salah tengok, hehehe

Tajuk entry ni diinspirasikan oleh satu cerita yang saya pernah dengar a few years back, umm, perhaps I was 15 or 16 that time. Yang nyebabkan saya teringat cerita kentut ni adalah sebab hari ni ada family members saya yang makan kacang dan kentut, hihihi n believe me, its not me okay, hehehe.

Masa dengar cerita nih, saya teringat bapak saya yang tak sempat pun nak dengar cerita ni sampai habis, sebab dia dah sakit perut gelak, hehhe (agaknya memang keturunan gelak kot, entahla)

Adala satu couple laki bini, depa nih baru kahwin. Nak kata baru sangat tak jugak, tapi dalam lingkungan satu tahun cam tu. Nak dijadikan cerita, satu hari on the way nak balik umah lepas keja, si suami punya keta rosak, then terpaksa hantar masuk workshop untuk repair. Sambil nunggu ketanya dibaiki, si suami nampak ada gerai makan bersebelahan dengan workshop tu. Memandangkan dia lapaq, maka menonong la si suami ni menuju ke arah gerai tu. Kebetulan pula gerai tu jual makanan goreng goreng, mee dan yang seangkatan dengannya. Dan gerai gini tentunya ada telur rebus. Si suami ni sebenarnya penggemar telur rebus die hard lah kiranya. Tapi sejak dah berumah tangga ni, dia dah jarang sangat makan telur rebus, pasal bini dia tak suka tabiat dia yang pelik ni, jadi demi jaga keharmonian rumah tangga, dia beralah.

Tapi bila letak punggung kat gerai ni dan ternampak pulak deretan telur rebus yang nampak sangat menarik tu, dia jadi kecur liur, lalu masa order makan, dia mintak sekali telur rebus extra. Selesai makan dia pun bangun nak beredar dari gerai tu, nak kembali ke workshop. Terpegun dengan deretan telur rebus tadi, dia tawar menawar dengan tokey gerai supaya si tokey mau jual beberapa biji telur rebus tu kat dia. Tawar punya tawar, dapatlah dia membeli beberapa biji telur rebus (banyak jugak la) tu.

Kembali ke workshop, kereta dia pun dah siap baiki, lalu lepas selesaikan bil, dia pun beransur, menuju ke rumah. Sepanjang perjalanan ke rumah, sambil drive, dia makan telur rebus yang dah siap dikupas kulitnya tu dengan rakusnya (ya la, nanti balik rumah takut bini merajuk lak kalu dapat tau dia balik ke tabiat pelik ni). Memang kenyang sungguh la cik abang sorang ni hari tu, menelan beberapa biji telur rebus, hehehe.

Sampai je kat porch rumah, bini dia keluar sambut dia sambil berkata "Bang, saya ada surprise untuk abang hari ni, jadi saya nak blind fold abang dulu, nanti saya bukakkan ye, tapi abang janji tau jangan bukak dulu blind fold ni nanti sampai saya bukak nanti, janji ye?"

Si suami lak, sayang bini nya hal, "Ye lah, tak bukaklah, tunggu awak bukakkan, janji". Dah tu, setelah si bini blind fold kan suaminya, dia pun pimpin la tangan si suami masuk ke dalam rumah dan menuju ke meja makan. Didudukkan suaminya pastu dia cakap, "Ingat ye bang, jangan bukak ye, nanti saya datang semula ye", bini terus menghilang.

Si suami ni tengah menunggu bininya, teringatla hari ni dia seronok makan telur rebus yang dah lama dia tak makan. Tersenyum senyum sorang teringat gelagat sendiri meratah telur rebus dengan enaknya. "Mujurla biniku tak tau, kalu tak, bising la dia nanti, " fikirnya sambil tersenyum senyum sumbing.

Tetiba, dia terasa kedatangan angin yang sangat kuat dan oleh sebab tak boleh tahan dia pun lepaskan je angin tu, "ala, buat macam biasala, hari hari pun aku kentut jugak", bisiknya sendiri sambil tersengih sengih sorang. Tak lama pun, tetiba terasa nak kentut lagi, dia cuba tahan, kot kot la angin tu mau masuk semula ke dalam, tapi bila rasa tak dapat nak elak dah, dia kentut jugak la, slow slow, tapi apakan daya, berbunyi jugak, this time, lebih kuat dari kentut yang awal tadi. Dia cuba dengar dengar, kot kot ada bunyi pergerakan bininya ka, tapi setelah diamati, dia rasa tak dak dengar apa apa, jadi dia pun tersenyum sumbing, "mujurlah dia tak ada kat sini".

Tapi, entah gamaknya dek penangan telur yang berlambak lambak dia telan tadi, rasa nak kentut yang sangat teruk datang nyerang semula, rasa teruk sangat dan dalam masa yang sama ingin berpegang kepada janji bininya yang mintak dia jangan ke mana mana dan jangan tanggalkan blind fold tu, dia terpaksa la stay still kat kerusi tu , tapi berpaut pada meja. Terkeluarlah bunyi "prooooooooooooooooooooot" yang agak panjang dan kuat jugaklah. Sambil terkentut tu, dia sendiri tergelak, ahhaha, sebab memikirkan kesan telurlah agaknya yang nyebabkan kentut gininya kuat.

Sambil kentut itu juga, dia macam dengar dengan tak dengar bunyi barang barang dia atas meja bergetar sama, macam nak terbalik pun ada, ahhaha. Kelakar jugak dan busuk boleh tahan nih kentut aku nih, fikirnya, sambil tersenyum sumbing. "Kibas kibas sikit aah, nanti berbau lagi jenuh".

Pastu dengar tapak kaki bininya datang dari arah dapur, dia pun cepat je betulkan kedudukan duduknya, kononnya biar bini tak ada syak apa apa. Bininya datang dekatnya dan kata "Saya bukakkan ya bang, surprise!" Blind fold ditarik, sambil menenyeh nenyeh mata yang terasa kabur dek ditutup lama, dia terpana memandang ke depan, tepi kiri kanan. Ayah, mak dan jiran sebelah laki bini sedang merenungnya dengan pandangan bak singa lapar!

P/s: saya menulis cerita ini di saat saya sangat mengantuk, tapi kerana perlu baca buku, saya gagahkan jugak la, biaq mata terbukak sikit dgn crita yg harapnya leh ngundang gelak ketawa, supaya tak mengantuk, hehe.

Maafkan bahasa saya yang berantakan sana sini...

Lets go back to the book, hehhe

Mamaku dan mood halimah jongangnya :-D

Di saat saya tergesa-gesa nak melaksanakan amanat-amanat nya sebelum tu, saya macam dengar Mama memanggil-manggil lagi. Bila berpaling menghadapnya, Mama tengah dok seronok ketawa dengan penuh bersungguh-sungguh. Sungguhnya dia gelak sampai hampir tak terkeluar suaranya, ahahaha, sampai terkatup biji biji matanya, ahahha. Saya yang tak tahu hujung pangkal gelak ketawanya tu, pun terikut sekali gelak, dah memang jadi sifat saya kot, gelak bila tengok orang lain gelak, ahahha, tambah tambah bila cara mereka gelak sangat menggeletek hatiku, ahhaha.

Bila ditanya apa hal yang dia nak bagi tahu tadi, Mama masih tak boleh nak berhenti gelak. Seminit dua, baru dia stop. Itu pun lepas buat buat muka serius ku yg famous tu, ahhahaha. Word pertama yang keluar dari mulut insan kesayangan saya ni, "Halimah jongang", pastu Mama continue gelak lagi. ahhaha, sungguh la saya tak faham apa masalahnya dengan Halimah jongang yg mampu buat Mama saya sangat terhibur ni.

Lepas dia dah boleh kawal gelak ketawanya, dia pun bercerita la tentang Halimah jongangnya. Katanya, semalam dia tonton cerita Halimah jongang kat tv, sangat lawak. "Ya, ya", balas saya, "memang la halimah jongang lawak, kan cerita lawak tu". "Nanti la biaq mama cerita apa yang lawak sangat episod semalam", katanya. Ok lah, Mama nya pasal, apa pun boleh la Mama, hihihi.

Caution: berikut adalah yang diceritakan oleh Mama saya, dengan tergelak gelak non stop dan saya, apatah lagi, berderai derai saya gelak, walaupun saya belum tahu hujung pangkal ceritanya, hihihihihi ^_^ :

"Halimah jongang baru balik dari kedai, singgah kat gerai makan, adalah matrock spanar jaya tuh dan sorang lagi kawan, Mama tak kenai la sapa. Depa nampak halimah singgah nak beli mee goreng bungkus, depa boleh start nyanyi lagu dedicated kat halimah. Nakal sungguh depa, dok buat lagu yg memerli jongangnya si halimah ni.

Tetiba, si halimah ni pun pi dekat dekat dengan para penyanyi nakal berdua tu dan halimah start tepuk tangan menyorakkan lagu dendangan para penyanyi nakal ni. Mama heran jugak la kenapa si halimah boleh pi tepuk tepuk tangan lak, tak marah. Dah tengok si halimah kemain nampaknya seronok tepuk tangan, para pelanggan lain yang ada kat gerai tu pun ikut sekali bertepuk tangan dan tumpang gelak jugak la.

Lepas habis lagunya, si halimah pun tanya la kepada kedua dua pendendang lagu tadi, sapa punya idea nak cipta lagu tu dgn tersenyum senyum. It turned out yang pencipta lagu tu adalah matrock spanar jaya rupanya. Hang tau apa si halimah tu buat? Dia tarik tangan si matrock dan gigit lengan matrock dengan gigi jongangnya. Meraung raung la matrock, yang si halimah pulak tak mau lepas lepas gigitan dia, geram sangat la kot.

Mujur la ada sorang kawan si halimah (maaf la tak ingat namanya, Mama confirm ingat, hihihi) lalu gerai tu dan nampak situasi kelakar tu dan tolong leraikan gigitan si halimah jongang. Kawan si halimah tanya dia kenapa dia menggigit si mangsa, si halimah cakap pasal depa annoying sangat, dok perli dia jongang, siap buat lagu lagi. (hihihihi)"

Lepas dah habis Mama bercerita, dia continue lagi gelak tawanya yang tak habis habis dan mendorongku untuk gelak jugak, memandangkan saya memang suka gelak, hihihihi.

Dah tu, ada pulak attempt nak cerita second round, ahahhaha, yang ni dah tak leh tahan, sebab habis tenaga dah nak gelak, sakit perut tak terkata. Jadi saya mintak diri beredar nak habiskan chores yang Mama suruh tadi.

Untuk catatkan dalam blog ni pun, saya saja je tanyakan sesetengah details (takut saya terreka cerita lak, memandangkan saya pulak masa kecik teringin nak masuk pertandingan bercerita, tapi apa kan daya, tak sempat nak hantar borang permohonan, hihihi); Mama masih boleh tergelak mengingatkan aksi si Halimah jongang.

Memang hari ni hari Mama saya berada di dalam mood Halimah Jongang......hahahaha

My Bliss

Look at them, how they connect
Look at us, how we connect
Courteously displayed
Flawlessness it seems
Failure in us
Pardon me
For not being the perfect figure
For I'm just me
Full with mistakes
Excuse me
For being blind
To foreseen the future
Forgive me
For my misconduct
For I never meant it
For the tone I never realize
But do know these
I'll do anything
I'll go anywhere
I'll risk everything
For you
Because my world is you
And my bliss
For I have you here
Yesterday, today and days to come...

Her, Him, Me

There are times
Reminiscing about
How it should been
If it’s not about you
If it’s about me
If only I could speak my mind
Telling I want no part of this
Telling I want things my way
Telling I’m not her
Telling I’m not him
Telling I want a role
Telling I want to be,
Only me
Begging some moments
For you to notice me then
But no
Courage I seek
Failed me...
Living a dream
Masquerading an image
Perfect in your eyes
Emptiness inside
Blaming, is not the aim
Expressing the feeling
Searching for guts
To end the misery
To say and demand only me
To sketch my history
Though it’ll look messy
But I’ll be happy
For it will be me
And you, to see....
