30th December marked the last day for my mother working in the government and tomorrow dawn, my little sister is leaving us for National Service.

So, yesterday, we held a small gathering for my sister before she leaves for Sarawak for 3 months.

Weathered Leather

2011-12-28T20:06:00.001+08:00

I can't remember the last time I blogged. Thank you to those who are still reading my blog & my apologies for not being a good blogger.

As usual, as a working person I always blame my working life if I don't have enough time to socialize be it in real or online.

So, we are going to leave 2011 in a few days and hopefully most of us have accomplished our 2011 resolutions.

Today, I had a chance to spend some time with myself, indulge my 'appetite'. The best of today is I've found a place that can repair & restore worn out leather material.

As a beginning, I sent my mother's worn out, weathered envelope purse to be repaired by them. Hopefully it can last for another 30 years so that I will be able to pass it down to the next generation.

Once Upon A Time...

2011-11-14T12:27:00.007+08:00

I never hated u before.

And I will never hate u in the future.

I loved u in the past.

And our love will be buried in a secret place that nobody knows.

I hope u had good times with me in the past.

And I hope u will still be happy in the future.

Thank you for what u have done for me in the past.

Thank you for all u've sacrificed.

But for now, I have to bid u good bye.

Good bye love.

Ohai-o-gozaimasu!

Guess what?

My face was featured in a magazine!

Great news, right?

But, the downside of it is, it was a Japanese magazine!

Yes, the article was written in Nihongo!

I don't speak Nihongo! Wakarimasen Nihongo!

Sigh!

So, if any of you readers able to read Japanese, please help me to translate thos article into Malay or English.

Thank you!

I'm A Working Lady.

2011-08-20T09:37:00.005+08:00

Assalamualaikum :)

This morning, I decided to write something about what I've been doing for the past one and a half months, that is, working my ass out!

I started my career as an Sime Darby trainee last July. I had to attend a 3 weeks in-class training in Genting. It was a great experience. Not just I got to know new people but as time went by, we became a big family.

I am currently attached to Sime Darby R&D under the Plantation Division. My head office is in Carey Island but I had been assigned a task on bio-ethanol project in Batang Berjuntai. So, for the time being (and may be for the whole year), I have to travel from Banting to Batang Berjuntai every morning and evening, back and forth. Although the journey is very tiring but, I really enjoy what I'm doing now.

These are the boots I have to wear everyday! This means, I have to forget all beautiful office wear, high heels and make-ups. My office uniform consist of a safety helmet, a safety jacket and these safety boots! I can wear any kind of jeans I want and any kind of tees I prefer. So relax but very unladylike!

I love my job for now and hope I can excel in what I'm currently doing. I'm no longer a girl who will call his dad for money. I'm a working lady who earns money at the end of the month. I'm a lady who has big responsibilities now. I'm grateful for what I have now. Alhamdulillah!

Big Girl Doesn't Cry

May be all I need is a lot of patience

Will I Change In The Future?

2011-05-28T06:09:00.003+08:00

Nobody knows what will the future be.

Kita hanya merancang.

Tuhan yang menentukan.

Last Thursday was really shocking. As I said before, the future is very unpredictable so all we can do is always be prepared.

Hope my 5 years plan will not be ruined. Crossing fingers.

Hope you guys will have a great weekend ahead. Take care! Love.

ps; You don't have to delete all those text messages. Wink!

Not Bangkok Dangerous.

2011-05-26T01:20:00.009+08:00

I followed Mom to a meeting in Kuantan and had a chance to test my 'new' phone. No, it is still not a smart phone but the camera quality is better compared to the old one.

We went there using an office car. The main destination was only Kuantan but Mom wanted to visit the site so we went to Tanjung Lumpur. Nothing much there. Just an usual fisherman village but it was good to breathe-in different kind of air though.

Then we went to Semambu to check out an old Pajero that will be what they called 'demolish'. I don't think that the Pajero was gonna be literally demolished. May be they will auction it off to people who need it.

Speaking of Bangkok, somebody just got home and unfortunately that particular somebody left his phone at home. Sigh! But what else I could say? Past is always gonna be the past and we should put it behind us, no? I just hope nothing similar will happen in the future. Crossing fingers!

See you guys soon! Love, hugs and kisses. Take care!

Happy Teacher's Day

2011-05-15T22:40:00.003+08:00

Happy Teacher's Day to me!

May be not.

Anyhow, Happy Teacher's Day to all teachers out there!

God bless you always.

Love,

I was once a student for a long 15 years!

2011-05-14T23:38:00.006+08:00

Alhamdulillah!

Everything planned went very smoothly.

Thank God for giving me the chance to stand on your ground. Million thanks to my parents for the 23 years of guidance and most importantly thank you Mom for every single drop of your milk, sweat, tears and blood that has successfully brought me to where I am now. Thank you to all teachers, lecturers and friends for everything!

I'm so bless to have all of you in my life! THANK YOU!

Do you guys still remember this song? We used to make jokes of everything around us, no? I miss my childhood days cause I don't think I had an awesome one. My mom was a very furious mom. I'm not blaming her for acting like that. She did a great job back then or else I won't be where I am now.

Last Sunday was Mother's Day but typical little family of mine does not celebrate much of the days. I was out the whole day doing tutor classes. Alhamdulillah for the rezeki given. Only mom and dad were staying in.

Today, I browsed through mom's phone and found out a very sweet and romantic text message sent by dad. I didn't know he was a romantic guy. Haha! Dad is always with either blur or straight face. Almost with no feelings. Sigh! To cut the story short, dad wished mom Happy Mother's Day and he mentioned that he was so thankful for mom being his company, best friend and mother to his five children for almost 28 years of their marriage.

It got me thinking cause I didn't send or wish mom for the Mother's Day. May be I should get something for her. Hurmmm. Scratching head.

While I'm thinking what to get for belated Mother's Day, you guys take care of yourselves, k! See you soon!

Ohh, and HAPPY BELATED MOTHER'S DAY to all of you mothers! Cheers to another year!

Potong Keparaaa!

I feel like chopping my head off! The weather is so hot today! I sweat like a pig (Ok, pigs don't sweat!) just 5 minutes after walked out of the shower!

I'm officially jobless today! Yeay! (May be not) I went to Shah Alam to pick up my robe for convo which scheduled to be held this Saturday. Thank God my session will be in the morning. The new hall is super cold that I'm afraid I have to bring a bottle inside (For pee, of course!).

Anyhow, I just got my first pay for tutoring job. Alhamdulillah! So, you guys take care and I see you later! Smooch!

ps; Drink lotsa water, dude!

pss; Siti Nurhaliza lah sangattt!

Last Day!

2011-05-06T01:03:00.002+08:00

A mixture of feelings!

I'm gonna miss my kids so much that I'm holding my breath so I won't cry.

Sob sob sob!

A part of me is crying happily, though!

Hehehe!

Chipsmore!

2011-04-25T01:31:00.004+08:00

Sekejap ada, sekejap tak de!

This is just another short update of what I'm currently doing for living.

I got a 60-days-replacement job as a TEACHER! Yes, I teach standard 2 and 3 students. Of course, they are primary students. It is a very challenging task as I was assigned to teach the remedial class. Although it was only for Bahasa Malaysia but still the students are very hyper! Low level of concentration. Very high-pitched and most of all, very straight forward! They don't think the cause & effects of whatever that's gonna come out from their mouths.

The good news is I only have another 2 weeks and then off I go! Of course I'm gonna miss my kids so much despite of whatever that they have done. Not bad things but you know what a child can do. Just like what we had done once upon a time. Wink!

I'll post up some photos later but for now, I must bid good night & good bye for a while. This teacher has classes to teach tomorrow!

Take care guys!

XO ;)

Applying New Recipe

2011-02-18T17:12:00.006+08:00

Cooking is a very interesting thing to do. Different ingredient gives different taste but some of them can replace each other to give the same smell and taste. A combination of both would be nice but try to be a minimalist in creating a dish.

This week, I tried to create a mango salad & chicken with black sauce. All basic ingredients were used but I added some new ingredients, more to I did it my way.

Shredded mango mix with four-angle beans, long beans, onions, some green & red chillies. All veges were cut into very small pieces. Add some lime juice, salt & sugar. The main ingredient is the mango. Choose your own type of veges to add into the salad. For a nice smell, add some ginger buds.

Marinated chicken cook with soy sauce. Saute some garlic & onion until they turn brown. Add in the chicken and some water. Simmer the chicken until half cook. Add in some soy sauce & oyster sauce (for taste). Simmer the chicken until fully cook. Add in black pepper, salt and some sugar.

Test your taste buds! See ya!

For The First Time Of My Life

2011-02-14T02:29:00.007+08:00

Assalamualaikum.

After a very long hiatus & a few short updates of what I'm currently up to to fulfill my free time, today I present to you my first ever meal that my sister & I prepared for family dinner.

Last Friday, February 11, marked a new history in my life. I cooked for the first time! By saying 'first time', I mean my very first attempt of cooking the real meal from raw until the end. I applied some recipes that I learned from my grandma and it turned out quite well.

First dish was dry-fried black pepper meat. I blend curry leaves with black pepper & a bit of turmeric as the marinate sauce and smear all the blended spices all over the meat. After about 15 minutes, fry the meat with a little bit of oil and lots of onions. Black pepper & curry will give the heat (spice) while turmeric prevents the smell and onions will give rise to the sweet taste and smell.

Second dish was chicken with chilli sauce. A very simple dish yet contribute a lot of taste. Firstly, saute the onions until brown. Throw in lots of chilli paste and stir. Put in the chicken & wait about 20 to 30 minutes. Put some tamarind juice and let the chicken in the pan for a while. Stir the mixture and add salt and sugar.

The final dish was saute veges. First, cut all veges that is needed. As seen in the photo, there are cabbage, carrot and celery. Saute some onions until brown. Add in all the veges that has been cut and add in some water. Leave the veges for a while. After about 3 to 5 minutes, add in some oyster sauce, salt and a bit of sugar. Stir for a while and it's done!

The food-tester were of course my parents and the review are as follows:

The meat was a little elastic. I should have let the meat in the pan a little while more. Onions were not enough. Overall was just fine.

The chicken was well-cooked. The chilli was not too spicy. We should add more salt to encounter the sour taste of tamarind. Overall was good.

The veges was the best! Perfect taste. The veges were really well done. Not too raw but not over-cooked.

Next on menu: Ayam masak kicap & kerabu mangga (Chicken with soy sauce & mango salad)

Once In A Blue Moon

2011-02-10T05:13:00.003+08:00

Assalamualaikum :)

Once in a blue moon although the moon will never turn blue. I am in the middle of a crisis. I'm hoping for honest opinions from you guys.

What should I do now?

Love!

It's Been A While

2011-01-23T00:53:00.003+08:00

Yes. It has been a while since the last time I was connected to the virtual world. The world that has no boundaries. The world that is beyond 'democracy'. Every single person that step into this world has their own say. Some of it is very nice to read but not to forget the hard and bitter ones. The victims have no exception. From the anonymous to the most popular human being on earth. No exceptions.

Life has been good so far. More and more time to sleep and relax and just chill. I finished my degree course last Nov 2010. I am now a proud young lady who has finally completed her degree and is taking her own sweet time to enjoy her sleep. I can literally and practically sleep anywhere. In the kitchen while waiting for the laundry. On the sofa while staring blankly at the ceiling, day dreaming. I can sleep in the car while waiting for the car in front to move in a traffic jam or while waiting for the damn traffic light to turn green. I can sleep in my super comfy old hard spring bed with my smelly bed sheet. In an easy way of explaining, I am loving what I do now, SLEEP ALL THE TIME!

Apart from that, I also do a part time job. A personal driver to my little sister and also a tutor to my little cousins. Of course I will not sleep during driving on the MRR2. Only God knows how bad the traffic is! Sigh! And of course I won't sleep while teaching. So far, I love teaching those little God creatures. It's just that I can't handle the noise caused by their high-pitched voice! GOD PLEASE HAVE SOME MERCY ON ME! Thank you, Lord!

So, basically my day starts around 10 in the morning and ends at 1 am in the morning. I love it!

I see you guys soon. Take care! XOXO ;)

Shocking News: My Uncle Passed Away

2010-12-21T21:27:00.005+08:00

I really don't know how to explain my feelings when my mother told me about the shocking news.

The story started 24 hours before that. My uncle had a terrible breathing problem few days before that but he still had positive hopes that everything will be fine. Little that he knew, his lungs and heart were having major problems. He couldn't breathe right because apparently, there was massive fluid content inside his lungs and from what my aunty told me, there was blood clot in his vein. Thus make it hard for him to breathe.

My uncle first went to the clinic for a check up but he was sent to the state hospital for further treatment. His condition was getting worse. On that particular night, while he was resting on the bed with his son massaging his leg, suddenly he fainted. Total black out! The doctors try to do the CPR (not the mouth-to-mouth but chest massage or pump) for a few minutes and successfully brought him back to life. Unfortunately, his condition was already at stake. Doctors then diagnosed him as brain death. No oxygen supply in his brain due to the fluid in his lungs and on top of that, the blood clot. Thus his brain couldn't function properly.

A few minutes later, the heart beat went off again. Doctors (aunty said there were 3 of them) take turn and try their best to brought him back but failed. Positively I'd say, God loves him more than us here. After 25 minutes fighting for his life, my uncle passed away around 10.30pm on December 14, 2010.

The burial was held on the next day. My uncle left his wife and 4 children. I pray for him to be rest in peace. Innalillahiwainnailaihirojiun.

RIP Andak!

Past Activities: Cousin's Wedding

2010-12-02T00:19:00.023+08:00

This blog post is very very out dated already but who cares? So, here are some of the activities that I've been up to.

My cousin's wedding was held about a month ago, a week before Eidul Adha.

The solemnization was held in Alor Setar, Kedah which is the hometown of the bride, followed by a ceremony the next day.

Some of the pictures during the wedding ceremony in Kedah.

I'm sorry. I feel like I have to put up this photo. It's so laughable. My youngest sister slept the whole way from KL to Kedah. She didn't even woke up when we stopped at the resting area. I just can't help it seeing how she sleep. Sigh! So Koddey, sorry for putting up this photo.

My cousin is the bride. Nervously waiting for the solemnization (akad nikah) to finish. Up to this moment, I still can't believe it she is now somebody's wife. So awkward seeing her doing house chores.

The groom. They know each other through the groom's sister which happened to be my cousin's housemate during her study time. They fell in love the first moment he saw her.

Just after the solemnization ceremony. Both groom and bride had to sign a few forms. All five sheets of them.

Upacara batal air sembahyang. Gold ring and a bracelet together with the mahar (mas kahwin).

Done with the solemnization! Now officially called PUAN HANISAH ABDULLAH. Yeay! *Clap clap*

Newly wed bride together with her family. The only one missing was her youngest brother.

Pengantin perasan muda.

Back at the hotel. Tangga pun jadi lah.

Please excuse the presence of my nephew there.

Our big family including parents & siblings of the groom.

A week after that, the wedding continued on the groom's side.
Another ceremony was held in Batu Pahat, Johor.

Us together with the couple. Just got off the car.

The not-so-newly wed couple. Married for one week already. On the other note, why must my nephew be in the picture? The same nephew!

There was no bersanding ceremony in Kedah as the bride's house was hit by the flood for the first time.

Abang Ijad & Kak Chah.

The couple together with bride's family.

Last shot; at the pelamin.

My cousin, is now pregnant!
Yeay! Big clap for them!

I Love The Smell of The Popcorns!

Watching movies alone is sometimes enjoyable!

Just remember not to choose the middle seat on the back row.

To be honest, I watched this movie just for the purpose of watching Bruce Willis.

I have soft spots for bald men. Haha!

The story line was as I expected it to be but still entertaining cause it was full of actions.

This movie was very entertaining.

The dumb lines and actions are non-stop.

The movie hall was very cold that night.

Not to mention that I was wearing my Adidas gym pants!

Eva Mendez was hot!

At first, I couldn't spot which one was Hayden cause, to be honest, I don't know who the hell Hayden Christensen is!

I can only spot the Callen G guy from the NCIS: LA. I didn't even know his name until I saw the movie poster!

Takers is all about posh 'thieves' that only go for million-goal robbery.

They owned a Porsche, Ducatti, Range Rover and lives in high class apartments.

Watching this movie makes me wishing for more money.

Stories To Tell

2010-10-19T20:20:00.017+08:00

There were so many things happened and only now that I got all the pictures. So, here are few updates on what I've been doing for the past few months.

Cuci The Musical

My sister managed to get tickets for the last show. Before the show, we had our dinner at this mamak place. The drinks & food were all simple & nice.

Kuiz Ramadhan 1431 Hijrah, 2010 Masihi

Dad was one of the lucky few to won the monthly quiz. The prize was Umrah trip for one person which he decided to give it to my brother. Hopefully I got to tag along because the trip schedule to be on June next year.

Aidilfitri 1431 Hijrah, 2010 Masihi

This year's Aidilfitri was so simple because my younger sister; sitting front row in yellow scarf, had to go back to Egypt on the sixth day of Aidilfitri.

So, basically my life only evolved around my family for the past few months. I didn't get much chances to go out and hang out with friends. Hope you guys take care of yourselves well and I'll see you soon.

XOXO.

Random Polaroid Photos

2010-10-19T06:24:00.014+08:00

These photos have been edited using Poladroid software that I downloaded some time ago.

Some of the portrait photos that I edited are:

My niece, Najwa Nabilah. Sorry for the grammatical error. It should be "1 year old".

My little kiddo, Azam. He's a talkative kid with high determination of winning or should I say ego?

My best dude, Faisal or Mike. You can call him by both names.

Some of random photos that I edited.

My sweet tooth demand. Chocolates heaven in Langkawi that you can never resist!

While waiting for our turn to take studio family photo

Short trip to north;

The old Taiping Prison which is still in use. Located 300km north from Kuala Lumpur, Taiping is a small town in Perak.

My very first time riding the swan boat.

During my final year of study;

During the study trip to Pagoh, Johor. The garden was located about 200km south from my university campus. It was more to a reserve forest than a garden. It took around 15 to 20 minutes to get to our dorm from the reception by tram.

My very last road trip with my girlfriends to Port Dickson. It was about 1 and a half hours journey from our campus by car.

So, that's all for now. Will update you more with what I've been doing these past few months. Till then, take care guys! Love!

Interesting Points!

2010-09-24T01:03:00.005+08:00

I found this video on Facebook. It's about guidelines for those who is looking for a partner or getting married. This video was recorded during a talk (ceramah). The panel was Ustaz Mohd Kazim Elias. The guidelines were based on Kitab Muhimah (if I'm not mistaken).

Watch it here. It is very interesting (at least for me it is). More videos can be watched on his Facebook here.

Mata kadang-kadang salah melihat. Mulut kadang-kadang salah cakap. Hati kadang-kadang salah menduga. Sebelum cahaya syurga padam, sebelum pintu taubat tertutup, sebelum Ramadhan berakhir, sebelum Syawal menjelma, kemaafan dipinta dari awal pertemuan antara kita & hingga ke hari ini! Salam aidilfitri, maaf zahir & batin.

From Anonymous,

Tika tengah sibuk masak ketupat, teringat pula dekat kawan-kawan rapat. Hari raya pun dah dekat. Hati ni teringin nak hantar kad. Tapi rasa-rasa, confirm dah tak sempat. Nak hantar e-mail duduk kampung WIFI tak dapat. Apa yang paling tepat, message je la paling cepat. Selamat hari raya aidilfitri. Maaf zahir dan batin.

From Najat, my collegemate:

2 3 kucing berlari. Err... Err... Selamat hari raya eidulfitri. Najat Ayub minta maaf zahir batin.

From Firdaus, my ex-boyfriend:

Selamat hari raya. Minta ampun dan maaf. Semoga bergembira bersama keluarga.

From Azim, my childhood friend:

Wahai keluarga & rakan seperjuanganku. Bilamana diminta kita untuk berjuang di jalan Allah, maka persiapkanlah diri, tabahkanlah hati, tenangkanlah jiwa, kuatkanlah semangat. Kerna tiada kemenangan seindah Eidulfitri. Salam eidulfitri & maaf zahir batin.

From my boyfriend:

Selamat hari raya kat sayang juga. Sama-sama la k. Luv u so much.

From Dr Roselan, a person that I met at a cafe:

Salam. Selamat hari raya from Dr Roselan & family.

Kadang-kadang SMS, Kadang-kadang tak. Kadang-kadang balas, kadang-kadang lupa. Kadang-kadang hilang, kadang-kadang muncul. Tapi jangan risau berapa banyak 'kadang-kadang' tu. Di sini tetap ingat di sana. Bukan untuk kadang-kadang tapi untuk selamanya. Selamat hari raya, maaf zahir batin.

From Kak Raihana, my senior:

Salam dihulur, mohon kemaafan. Selamat hari raya aidilfitri.

From Sofiah, my childhood friend:

Pejam celik, pejam celik, dah habis puasa. Pejam celik, pejam celik, hari ni dah raya. Sebelum pejam tak celik-celik, maaf dan ampun jua dipinta. Selamat hari raya aidilfitri. Maaf zahir batin.

From Faisal aka Mike, my coursemate:

Selamat hari raya. Maaf zahir & batin. Ikhlas dari Faisal & Mandy.

From Anonymous:

Selamat hari raya aidilfitri.

So, to all of you, I would like to say,
Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Maaf Zahir & Batin. Saya menyusun sepuluh jari, memohon ampun dan maaf dari anda semua. You all are forgiven for any wrong doing towards me.

LDR - Four Years & Still Surviving

2010-09-08T15:39:00.004+08:00

Aidilfitri is coming and it is a tradition for us to see each other before we celebrate the Independence Day of Islam.

Last night was the meeting and our plan was just a normal one; grab a movie.

The first time I saw the movie trailer, I know that we must watch this movie together. This movie is about pretty much the same of what we went through for the past 4 years and we are still going through the same thing now.

To tell you the truth, it is hard for me to commit in an LDR with my current surrounding and environment. Cute pretty boys, the study, family stuff and all but I always think positively. Countdown to the day when we will see each other is a routine; red marks on the calendar.

So, to you guys who have the same thing going on as me, this movie some how will be a pressure to you but at the same time, it teaches us on how to be strong. Stay on what you believe and always be positive!

Selamat Hari Raya
Maaf Zahir dan Batin

ps; I love you

Pot Luck at Bangi

2010-08-08T18:18:00.008+08:00

Who would have thought that KL would be total jammed yesterday? Yes! All of the roads were full of people! Erkk, I don't know about the KL town but I know that my journey to Bangi wasn't so smooth. Few traffic jams even before you reach the Bangi toll and few after that.

Despite all those traffic jams, I felt so relieved because, just after I saw all those kids, my heart suddenly melt away and yes! All the food were awesome! Though I forgot to take pictures of the food. Sorry!

This is Danish. He really reminds me of somebody :)

This is Faris or better known as Ayish!

Erisha with yours truly.

My eldest sister holding Baby Fauzan and also her boss.

Ayish didn't wanna let go my camera so I snapped his picture just as a trick.

On the way home, the road was all clear except there was a lot of cars. Not so much lorries. After all, food was good and kids were all cuteeee! Makes me wanna have babies now! Haha!

Hope you guys had a great weekend. Take care! XX

This Is What We Call Vintage!

2010-08-02T23:14:00.025+08:00

Do you still remember the previous entry about my Mom's vintage stuff? Well, if you can't recall, here is the link. The first one was about my Mom's old bags that I found in the store and also her room.

Now, this entry will be about her clothes. Mainly, about her old clothes that almost none of us, her daughters can fit in!

Haha! Yes, my Mom was a really slim ~~shady~~ lady. She wasn't a petite lady because her height is average.

The first one is always my favourite of all. Black Kebaya with orange embroidery. I already wore the Kebaya twice and of course, I had to alter the skirt a bit. Not the length but the waist.

No, I wasn't that fat la. I can still fit into the Kebaya top nicely. Duhh! This Kebaya was worn during my Mom's engagement ceremony.

The Kebaya top is just nice for my body. I mean, the measurement of the shoulder but not the waist. Haha! It has see-through sleeves. Even though both top and skirt have embroidery all over them, it is still comfortable to wear, night and day. It has lining on the inside except on the sleeves. Very bright orange yet very classy.

The next one is another Malay traditional wear; Baju Kurung. This white Kurung was the one that Mom wore during her solemnization ceremony. It also has full white flowers embroidery all over the body. The sleeves are also see-through just like the Kebaya.

The top

See-through sleeve

The skirt

This Kurung is worn with white scarve or shawl. This shawl has different type of flowers embroidery. I think Mom bought the shawl separately from the Kurung.

The third one is an orange skirt that is just as the same as two skirts before. It's wearable as Kebaya or Kurung skirt or may be with another blouse. I've never seen Mom wear it before. It has embroidery of flowers all over it and just nice for me to wear.

The length of all skirts are just nice for me only the waist that is a bit smaller.

The last traditional item that I found is Baju Kurung Kedah. This one is totally big for me. The special of this top is it has a pocket on the left side. The difference between this Kurung Kedah and the earlier Kurung is only the length of the top. Kurung Kedah has shorter length than normal Kurung.

Okay, enough with the traditional outfit. Now, let's get to my Mom's modern outfit. Not so many that I found. May be Mom already separate them away or may be she has given out the clothes to other people. I can still remember Mom's purple skirt with small flowers and also two red blouses; one with Chinese drawing of houses and another one with Sakura flowers.

On the other hand, this skirt is different. It's made of nylon and wool. Usually wear during the winter. How did I know? Cause I tried wearing it once and my legs were sweating like hell. Hehe!

Unfortunately, this skirt has a few damages. Mainly tear wool. So sad! If not I can still wear it to movies.

This top is also made of wool. I tried wear it several times before but it doesn't suit the weather here. Obviously if I wear it to movies, it will be super warm and nice.

Last but not least, Mom owns a barrette yaw! A red one! I like! Haha!

This one was made in Scotland and also made of wool.

The inside lining

With button in front

So, all in all I think Mom owns quite a few of vintage items that still wearable. I mean, I don't mind wear all those stuff. I even had plan of wearing Mom's old traditional clothes especially the early two during my wedding in the future. The are still good and most importantly I can fit them.

Lastly, thanks for reading guys and have a nice week ahead!

:)

Fat-ass Tips!

2010-08-01T00:27:00.008+08:00

Ahmad & Wahab! A name that not everyone knows. What about A&W? I've been longing for hotdogs for quite some time. Unfortunately, the service here is poor. The cashier was a snob. The floor was dirty. The fries were soggy that I had to asked for a new one.

Later , I bought some donashi or may be 18 donashi-s from Big Apple and 2 big cups of Wall's Double Dutch. Yummy!

It's like you live in heaven! My life is absolutely blessed! Thank God :)

Thank You!

First Attempt

2010-07-28T06:05:00.005+08:00

My very first attempt on artwork. This pencil case was meant to be given to my sister's friend, Nel. I'm pretty satisfied with the sewing but I really need to polish up on the arrangement of the buttons.

Wedding at Equatorial Hotel, Bangi

2010-07-21T23:33:00.015+08:00

My mom's bestfriend's wedding for the second time after she lost her husband two years ago. Her husband's death was very sudden cuz he was diagnosed of cirrhosis (heart cancer).

Body can still survive even though 50% of the heart is damage or corrupt until 10% percent of it left, then the symptoms will arise such as continuous heart burn. Aunt Fuziah's husband was a very kind man although I didn't know him that much.

Back to the wedding, the akad nikah (solemnization) ceremony was held in the morning on the same day but I didn't know about it until mom asked me to iron (press) her baju kurung.

The ceremony was held in the night with only close family and friends invited. Her new husband is from Wales makes him a British but not an English man; he's a Welsh man. They have known each other for quite some time but only thought of tying up the knot two or three months ago.

The newly weds; bride and groom, walking down the isle to the meja santapan (dining table).

This girl is so bad! She was busy reading the whole time while everybody else was excited to see the bride and groom.

My mom and her friends with the bride and groom.

The bride; Aunt Fuziah Hashim and the groom; Uncle Rasydan Philip.

My sister and I with my mom's another bestfriend; Cik Yah.

Gossip time with the bride's dad; Tok Hashim. He is currently looking for a new wife. Don't get it wrong. He's just in need of a company at home. So, anybody interested? Do send your resume or you can just PM me.

This is also my first experience of attending a formal wedding ceremony at a hotel. For me, I'd prefer the normal wedding ceremony. You know, with the buffet and free flow drink. It is just so hard to see all those delicious chicken and beef to be waste while you can just pack me one so I can bring them home. Hehehe! The food was nice, though! Especially the rendang daging! Yummy!

So, I see you guys in other time. Take care!

;)

Quality Hotel KL - Fruits Fiesta 2010

2010-07-16T20:36:00.017+08:00

Who doesn't like free food? Especially when you can get almost everything you want under one roof. We arrived there a bit late but not to worry cuz there was so much, so many food that you can die eating!

Well, I've never been to any of this kind of party so I felt a bit awkward with all the working people, journalists and camera men around me.

A bit photos that I snapped that day. So sorry cuz I was being intimidated snapping pictures using my normal camera while the others were using the bulky ones. The awkwardness doubled when people gave me the look when I tried to snap pictures of the foods. Hahaha! So, I decided to not take pictures of every single food that was on the table and just look for the one that I really was interested in.

Door gifts.

The first stall after the entrance

The olok-olok dim-sum. Eaten with the chilli sauce and black oyster sauce. Tasted just like yong tau fu.

The best kuey teow ever! Cooked in front of your eyes.

My sisters couldn't decide which one to eat first.

Lots and lots of durian. They were delicious! Yummyyyy!

Some of the fruit pastries. I only got to eat the two on the above; strawberry and jackfruit puddings. The one on the spoon is durian pudding which I didn't even get to taste cuz the waitress kept on asking me whether I was done with them. Sigh!

A plate full of durian. My one and only dinner that night!

Ice-cream Malaysia and satay.

Me enjoying durian ALONE! They didn't wanna have the durian so I finished it.

Celebrity on the day; Dee!

They were playing game; dance to the music while acting like you were making teh tarik.

Look at her (his) head gear! My oh my. Hahaha! She (He) couldn't even look down or else, only God knows.

My youngest sister.

Heading out.

See you again next year!

To wrap it up, I had fun (stress) eating (finishing) a plate full of durian cuz I was craving for it but needless to say, it was a good effort in promoting the hotel. They actually were promoting their Buka Puasa buffet for the fasting month and even gave out vouchers for lucky draw winners.

So, thanx to Quality Hotel, KL for inviting (on behalf of my sister).

Take care and have a great weekend!

2010-07-07T01:01:00.003+08:00

I watched the Back-up Plan alone (again). Good movie and Lopez made me feel like "I want a baby right now!"

There was a clearance sale at Seed and I bought a belt for only RM9! A very small handbag also for RM9 and something for my BF. Hope he'll like it. Crossing fingers!

Vintage Or Not?

2010-07-05T20:08:00.009+08:00

I did nothing last weekend. It was quite boring cause I had to be a driver for my sisters. Send the older to her office, drive the younger to the tuition center and then had to pick her up. So, what I did was looking for some stuff that might be useful for me to do something with it.

While I was looking for the stuff, I came across this vintage bag of my Mom's in her room, hanging at the cupboard's knob together with her old handbag. So, I take a look and found out it was a Bally handbag! I still can remember that I used to play with that handbag when I was little and (obviously) Mom got angry. At that time, I didn't know it was a Bally! If I'm not mistaken, there was a pair of stilettos with a matching colour with this bag.

I also found out that Mom has two Christian Dior bags. One is an evening bag or clutch and the other one is a hobo-style. Both were in a quite bad condition but I think they both can still be repaired. Both bags were made in France.

And then, I found these two Bally shoes in a room at the kitchen. Unfortunately, not only both were in bad conditions (that's not a matter to me cause I can send the shoes to a cobbler), but my feet couldn't fit into both of the shoes. It was size 4 and I wear size 7!

They are gorgeous. Both upper parts were made from leather and the soles were all handmade! I think Mom bought them during sales because there was a price tag of £20 on the bottom soles. Bboth shoes were made in England.

I'm sure there must be more vintage stuff of my Mom's apart from the bags and shoes. I'll try to look for the clothes tomorrow and will update you guys.

Till then, take care guys!

A Long Random Post

2010-07-02T19:45:00.008+08:00

I went to Shah Alam today just to drive my grandma to the pasar basah. Her fridge was already (almost) empty and she had (almost) nothing to cook for her lunch. Last weekend, I promised her that I'd be back in SA (may be) on Monday or the latest would be Tuesday but you know la kan. How good the bed at home is? Although that it's time for me to toss out the old mattress and bring in the new one, tapi tilam lama juga menjadi pujaan.

So, on my way back home, instead of taking the LDP, ikut jalan short-cut Subang Airport which passed by Sungai Buloh before I reach home. It was (as usual) packed with lorries because lori tak boleh lalu highway siang buta, no? Kena ikut jalan lama lah.

I was driving at my fastest driving limit which is approx 100 to 120 km/hour and then, there was this one silver MyVi dari belakang yang laju nak mati. I did notice the car but I thought may be the driver would slow down a bit cause agak banyak kereta & lori tengah jalan. Plus, jalan tu memang selalu jammed so why go fast when you'll be stuck dekat depan? So, I was driving at approx 120 km/hour but the MyVi still cucuk-cucuk dekat belakang. Apa lagi? Geram mencanak-canak la! I drove constantly at 100 km/h and the MyVi started to blink the lights (nak bagi hint suruh ke tepi). I didn't give him any chance cause there was no other way that he could go to over take me until he took the exit at the junction to Sri Damansara.

Hati panas! I took a glimpse at the car. The plate number was WRR ****. He lowered down his window and started swearing to me. I wanted so bad to piss him off so I look at him with an innocent face. I was like "Yeah, WTV. Loser!" He kept swearing and I think at one point he hoped that I lowered my window too. I drove off dengan puas hati.

You know, you don't really have to drive so fast macam dunia nak kiamat. I mean, tengok situasi la. Kalau dekat highway boleh juga nak terima drive laju-laju sampai kalau terbabas, kereta boleh terbelah dua tapi kalau setakat drive dekat main road macam tu, there's no need to drive fast. Betul tak? And one more thing, I really hate it bila orang drive tak reti nak keep distance. Bukan tak boleh nak dekat tapi fobia la sial! Kalau tiba-tiba orang depan emergency break macam mana? Cari nahas aje la! Sigh!

Quote from my Dad;

Buat apa nak drive laju-laju? Kita kena rasa nikmat jalan ni! Kalau tak, buat rugi je bayar road tax!

*****************************************

Have you ever heard of PERFECTION The Training Academy? No?

Well, actually it is a tuition center where my little sister goes to.

Do you know how generous they are? No?

Well, they give free gifts to the early birds. I mean, those who pay their fees at the very early of the month.

Wanna know what the gifts are? Yes?

Jangan terkejut, okay?!

LV keychain

Gucci 'Bear' keychain

Hehehe! Of course they are not authentic. Kau gila? Tuition fee baru berapa ratus nak bagi hadiah beribu. Hahaha! At least, they have the effort kan?

That's all for now. Take care! Drive safe, peeps! Peace!

Life is so full of colours. My little sister's friend once complained about how his friend has changed in just a short time. I told him not to worry about that. Every single human in this world will undergo the same thing just like that girl. Cultural shock they say. It's up to us to decide whether the thing that we are doing is right or wrong.

I know you are there reading this. I'm just worry about you. I don't want to go all through the silent phase again. I just can't handle the pressure. Please, let me know how you're doing. If you don't wanna call or text me, just leave the hint to ease the pain inside me. I cried although I know tears won't solve the problem. I'm just worried, that's all. I know you love me and I love you as much.

Please, get back to me.

How To Strengthen Your Vocab

2010-06-17T01:07:00.003+08:00

I didn't know that I have Scrabble game installed in my laptop. I tried the game few times which most of the time ended up in frustration. Ughh! I wasn't that good in English during school days and so do today. My vocab is very limited to short words and the best word that I created is this:

I challenged my little sister and I won for the first round with very small difference. The second round was tougher. She kept aiming for the double-word-score and triple-word-score thing and obviously she won the round. I guess her determination is higher than mine. Sigh!

But, wtv it is, I shall not give up! Haha! I'll try again tomorrow. Today's semangat has been shifted to internet browsing. Hahaha! Till then, people. Take care!

ps; I nak challenge u pula!

A Handful Of Treasure!

2010-06-13T23:56:00.004+08:00

These are a few things I found in my old purse. I've been looking for them a while ago and somehow I totally ignored (forgot) about it. Meaningful treasures, indeed. Hehehe!

This little kid is actually my old friend from college, Aiman Ali. I can't remember how I got this picture but obviously, this photo is priceless to me. Hahaha! Muka tak berubah cuma tambah lagi sepasang 'mata kaca'. One of the best guy-friends I've ever met in my whole life!

This one is also my old friend from college and another Aiman! Aiman Fadhil or we used to call him Porn. I don't know why but he was the one who introduced himself as Porn. We were not that close in college but used to hang out together. You know, little clique of mine. Believe it or not, he is now a Teacher! I can't imagine him teaching youngsters. Tsk tsk tsk!

This one is an origami of love made by myself, of course, during my college time. I was and still am not an artistic person. The only origami that I know are the boat and basket, which the latter, I found out that it could be made through the same fold as the earlier.

College days were not as great as my school days but obviously better than my uni days. I had great friends back then. Well, except for that one person but the moments we spent were much better. I'm not saying that my uni friends are not great, they are, but somehow I miss my college days so much. Less thoughts to be think about, less problems, less hassle and everything!

Whatever it is, one must go on with his/her life, no? So, cherish your day, everyday! You won't get the same experience as the days go along. Live life, love life!

ps; I miss you la!

After I lost the (my) couple ring that I bought with my very own money, he got us a new pair of rings. I was so devastated by the lost of the previous ring cause obviously it was because of my reckless, forgetful habit! Ughhh! The worst part is, I can't turn back the time, can I? And, no it is not a diamond ring. Heh!

ps; I'm missing you so badly

I'm Not Familiar With Designer Perfume

2010-06-10T17:17:00.004+08:00

Only once that I had used designer perfume as my daily spray. I've always changed my fragrance cause I don't know what really suits me. So, after watching Project Alpha Season 2, I wanted to try the new Adidas EDT For Women. Yes, it is a sport-type of fragrance but still, I don't mind using it as my daily perfume.

The EDT itself is only costs around RM36.90 but this one that I bought together with the body wash is only RM39.90. Isn't that CHEAP? I wanted to buy the one with the deodorant spray but none available. The smell is very strong but it can last for a long time. After all, it's an EDT for sport users.

******************************

On the other note, somebody told me (at first) that she wasn't that hungry so I brought her to SR for our late lunch. I thought may be she could use the WiFi while waiting for me but after browsing through the menu, she got so excited and start ordering bigger meal than mine. That's my youngest sister! She always behave that way. Pretending that she was full but after looking at the menu, start complaining that she's hungry. Sigh! What more can I say? She's still a kid after all.

And now, I am officially broke! Oh nooooooo!

ps; Can I borrow your money, sweetheart?

My Water Moments!

2010-06-09T18:04:00.008+08:00

I love swimming! Saya suka berenang! I love to be in the water cause the water compliments me. May be because it is my nature. I'm a Pisces girl which is the fish, and I think it reflects my hobby well, no? Other than swimming, of course la I suka cam-whore or ambil gambar sendiri. Siapa yang tak suka ambil gambar kan? Almost everybody loves it.

Dulu, my bf gave me a camera as a present but due to some reasons, my elder sister bagi rosak gua punya camera so I am now have to rely either on my dad's camera or other people's camera. Meaning, gua kena pinjam camera orang la! So, after I discovered this new SONY Digital Series Camera (DSC) - TX5 G yang baru ni, I terus jatuh longkang! Haha! No la. Of course la jatuh cinta, beb!

The compact Cyber-shot TX5 is built to be water-, shock-, dust- and temperature-proof! With features like Intelligent Sweep Panorama, Handheld Twilight and Anti-motion blur, TX5 give you the photographic power to shoot in style whenever, wherever.

This new SONY DSC - TX5 G new camera is built with 10.2 Mega pixel, 4 times optical zoom together with "Exmor R" CMOS sensor, BIONZ imaging processor and also Carls Zeiss Lens. So basically, this new compact camera able to operate sehebat DSLR dan camera yang seangkatan dengannya.

Daripada "Exmor R" CMOS sensor, gambar akan jadi lagi accurate sebab camera akan jadi 2 kali lebih sensitif compared to other normal camera. BIONZ imaging processor pula akan meningkatkan ketepatan camera dalam auto-focussing, auto-correction dan juga auto-white balancing untuk produce gambar yang lebih balance. Carls Zeiss Lens pula menampakkan gambar lebih realistik berbanding dengan camera lain.

Apa yang hebat tentang SONY DSC - TX5 G berbanding camera yang lain?

Ianya kalis air (water-proof) jadi, untuk seorang swimmer seperti I ni memang ideal lah kan? Dapat juga bergaya-gaya ala ikan dolphin dalam air.

Camera ni juga kalis suhu (temperature-proof). Maknanya, kau nak bawa camera ni pergi Antartika pun tak jadi problem. Camera ni memang tahan suhu sejuk!

Feature yang ni memang sesuai untuk wanita, which is, kalis habuk (dust-proof). Bagi wanita-wanita yang suka travel dan tak ada banyak handbag macam saya, semua benda stuff dalam satu handbag so, jangan risau sebab camera ni tak tangkap habuk. Kau kepam la lama mana, camera ni steady je!

Last but not least, yang buat special camera ni ialah kalis hentakan (shock-proof). Barang mana yang aku tak pernah jatuhkan? Handphone kau toksah cakap la kan. So, camera ni selamat kau nak campak jauh mana, dia tetap steady ok! Toksah kau risau!

Ok, to elaborate more about the power and precision of this camera, let me just view a few of my pictures while I was swimming, that has been captured using an ordinary compact camera.

Image in low-light environment

As you can see, the picture is quite blur. So, the new SONY DSC - TX5 G is built with an Anti-motion Blur mode which uses up to six superimposed frames to create the best optimize image with less than 50% noise. Noise here means, the motion of the object (I guess). With the new SONY T-Series, the pictures taken would be sharper and hopefully there'll be less crooked photos of me that will make me look like some old grandma!

Moving object

This feature of the new SONY DSC - TX5 G really catch my attention. This camera can takes up to TEN photos in ONE second! Kalau lu tak mau percaya sudah! This camera can capture up to 10 continuous frames in a sequence per second which later being simplify as the camera analyses the group of frames in order to locate the best shot automatically. So, lepas ni bukan saja moving object dalam air, gambar yang melompat-lompat tu pun jadi lawa. Tak payah nak lompat dua tiga kali untuk dapat best shot. Senang!

Panoramic View

Okay, kita bukan nak comment about my breast stroke atau kuak dada tapi I nak bagi tahu pasal camera SONY ni yang boleh capture gambar-gambar panorama sehebat camera DSLR yang gabak lagi maha besar. You guys can enjoy the best panoramic shots just by move your camera horizontally to capture a landscape view OR you can also capture a tall object (macam menara bendera di Dataran Merdeka) by just move your camera vertically. The Intelligent Sweep Panorama mode also able to recognizes or detect any moving object and faces and will stitch them to produce the best natural-looking panoramic view. So, agak-agaknya lah kan, lepas ni nampak la kaki I yang bengkok tu lagi clear.

So guys, apa tunggu lagi? Pergi la cari camera yang hebat ni dekat kedai camera (takkan la kedai basikal pula kan?). Beli jangan tak beli! Berbaloi-baloi!

Another Concern; Dry Drowning

2010-06-07T15:53:00.006+08:00

One topic on Oprah that caught my attention; Dry Drowning. The case that they (Oprah & Dr. Oz) were discussing was a very old one (I think it was a repeat episode of Oprah); Dry drowning that killed a 10 year-old boy.

The case happened during 2008. It concern me cause being me, who loves to swim, I think this is a good exposure and hopefully this case can open other people's eyes too.

The thing is, dry drowning always (almost) happen to small kids who don't know how to breathe right in the water. You don't inhale the air through the nose but u blow (bubble) the air into the water from your mouth. In fact, you certainly can't breathe in the water, can you? For us adults, this might not be a serious matter because we know how to "handle" our body but for kids and children, they need guidance (I think so).

When I first learn how to swim (I learn as early as 5 years old), I didn't know how to breathe in the water. I just suddenly swim. Bunyi macam takbur la pula. But when I joined the swimming class as my extra co-curricular activity during my second & third semester, then only I know the function of blowing in the water.

Back to the main topic, Dry Drowning(DD) is just as similar as Pulmonary Edema (PE) or in Malay we call it Paru-paru Berair. DD happen when you suddenly suck in water through your respiratory organ (nose) into the lungs that can bring you to death. While PE happen when there is leakage of fluid; might be from the heart, into the lungs that able to cause similar effect; death.

In our lungs, there is a soap-like fluid that act as a lubricant that enable for our lungs to stretch (expand) and relax during the breathing process. The presence of the water or fluid in the lungs will remove the soap (lubricant) from our lungs and cause difficulties for us to breathe. The lungs will no longer able to contract and relax (of muscles) causing of reduction of oxygen level in the blood and eventually, death will take place.

The symptoms are just the same for adults and children. Shortness of breathe, fatigue, Excessive (cold) sweating, cough, pale skin and many more. For children, the symptoms will occur faster than the adults, may be within 2 to 8 hours.

Till then, take care guys! And enjoy your holidays!

:)

ps; Bila nak bawa anak kita berenang? Hehe!

At Last...

2010-05-30T00:55:00.004+08:00

I have my own jewelery box! Yeay!

Yeah, I know it's kinda lame but what to do? I didn't really have my own jewelry, you know? Like, I can't remember whether my mom bought me any jewelry before except for one gold bracelet when we went to Mecca and now, the bracelet is with my ex-boyfriend who is so ignorant to return it back to me. Even after I gave him my contact number, he said "we'll deal with it later". Like, WTF?

But, I'm not here to talk about the bracelet today. I'm here to talk about this thing that I bought yesterday at Nichii, Sunway Pyramid.

My first necklace that I bought with my own money. Although it is cheap but still, my very first necklace! Yeay! Haha! Take a look of this necklace that can also be use as a multiple bracelet at one time.

Nice, isn't it? Hehe! I just can't help it from wearing the necklace all day. It's like my new addiction. Necklace! Next up, is pendant. I've seen a few nice pendants but money wise, I don't think a simple pendant should cost more than RM20, no? WTV it is, self-satisfaction is much more important! Haha!

See ya guys later! Be good eh. Love!

Alone Again

2010-05-27T10:50:00.003+08:00

Watched this movie alone. Was too bored that day. Sigh! Jenn was more to Rachel but less dumb.

I've Been Hitched Again

2010-05-23T23:52:00.004+08:00

I really don't know what to say. I should be happy but I feel guilty for my BF.

Malam semalam, ada seorang lelaki call I. Phone number dia was quite familiar cause dia dah few times called but may be he didn't have the confident to speak, so jadi missed call. So, semalam baru dapat semangat agaknya, he spoke!

The story begin a week ago. My sister and I went to a Career Expo in PWTC (not exactly in THE PWTC). As usual, I printed out several copies of my CV and dropped them at few booths for job hunting. At this particular booth of Top Glove, I had to filled in a form and of course, I needed a seat to write comfortably. So, I sat at this one table provided by the company, filled in the form and handed both my CV and the form to the staff. After that, I walk off.

So, last night, this particular guy which I just can't remember his name, called me. The conversation goes more or less like this:

Assalamualaikum, boleh saya cakap dengan Cik Nisa?

Waalaikumussalam. Ye, saya Nisa. Siapa ni?

Saya bla bla (his name which I forgot).

Ok, awak ada hal apa ye?

Ermm, last week, awak ada pergi Career Expo dekat PWTC tak?

Ye, saya ada pergi.

Awak ada hantar resume dekat Top Glove tak?

Yes, ada. Kenapa?

At this point, I thought he might be the representative from the company but why is he calling at night? But, he was not one of them. He said;

Saya nampak awak dekat booth Top Glove. Boleh saya berkenalan dengan awak?

Apa? Awak ni siapa? Mana awak dapat nombor saya ni?

I was really surprised. I thought may be he was one of the staffs on-duty at that time but, he was not! He was... An ANONYMOUS!

Saya ambil nombor telefon awak dari resume awak. Awak ingat tak masa awak duduk nak isi borang dekat Top Glove?

Yes, memang ada kena isi borang tapi saya tak kenal awak pun. And kenapa tiba-tiba awak nak ambil nombor saya dari resume saya?

And he answer which made me more angry was;

Saya lelaki yang depan awak tu. Saya nak berkenalan dengan awak and saya rasa cara saya dapat nombor telefon awak tak patut jadi isu kan?

I was like, WHAATTT?! Tak patut jadi ISSUE?!

Hello?! Awak tahu tak yang resume saya tu private & confidential? Staff Top Glove pun tak boleh reveal nombor telefon saya ini kan lagi awak yang baru nak apply kerja CURI nombor telefon SAYA dari RESUME SAYA tanpa kebenaran saya! Awak ni sangat tak professional la!

And the next answer just couldn't help me from slowing down my voice. Even my mom who was watching the telly also could here my voice clearly.

Saya rasa itu tak patut jadi isu sekarang sebab at least saya ada usaha untuk berkenalan dengan awak. Lagi pun, awak be open-minded la sikit.

I was really MAD and ANGRY, there and then! What does he know about professionalism eh?

Hello, kalau saya ni tak open-minded, saya dah letak telefon dah sekarang tau! Awak ni faham tak dengan apa itu PROFESSIONALISM? Awak faham tak yang resume saya tu PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL? Lagi satu, awak ingat perempuan suka ke kalau awak treat macam ni? Kenapa hari tu awak tak kejar saya aje?

And he gave me 1001 reasons that didn't make sense to me and it shows that he wasn't a true gentleman!

Saya rushing lagi pun kita sama-sama rushing time tu kan? So saya tak nak la tahan awak kat situ. Lagi pun, saya tak rasa salah kalau saya ambil phone number awak kat resume. Saya tak rasa benda ni boleh jadi satu isu.

At that moment, I know this is not the right guy to be my BF and not even my friend. He obviously doesn't understand about P&C and Professionalism and he is not a true gentleman. He doesn't know how to treat a girl right and how to control a girl's emotion. I might be furious at that time but if he really know the psychology, he wouldn't have much problem to control my emotions and feelings, right? Sigh!

I have to admit that I'm very choosy in choosing my guy friends. I don't really talk to strangers even though the caller might be a girl. I seriously will not entertain unknown numbers because I hate to disturb people as much as people disturbing my nights.

So, to The Guy who called me last night, I am so sorry if I had ever hurt you or was not decent enough but the way you did it was just not right for me. I am so sorry and FYI, I already hooked up with someone else. I'm just sorry, dude!

Later, he sent me a text message:

Maaf cik nisya..mungkin cara sy approach awk x suka..sy xkn ganggu awk lg lepas ni

Dude, like seriously! OMG. Clueless aku dibuatnya. How do you spell my name? Is it hard to spell my name right? I mean, better get the spelling right before you wanna hitch somebody, man! It's N I S A! I'm no Indian! Kalau macam ni la gayanya, akad nikah nanti memang tak sah! Memang tak boleh buat BF macam ni! Sigh!

So guys, tips #911 on How To Hitch A Girl, be a true gentleman and make sure you know how to spell her name! Haha! What say you? Leave me a comment!

ps; I sayang you je la! Gedik!

This Is Too Much!

2010-05-22T17:23:00.006+08:00

What you will see is an awful picture. I just couldn't stop shedding my tears. What has happened to the human in this world? Not only they shoot other humans but they also do it to the cats. The worst part is they did to the KITTENS!

Source: Singapore Community Cats

"The poor mother cat kept licking the kittens, hoping it would revive the kittens.According to the family that adopted the stray cat, on the morning of the 11th when they heard the cat’s tragic cries, they rushed downstairs to discover this stray cat’s four kittens abused to death, and even placed in front of the mother cat. The kittens’ bodies were covered with bullet holes, with blood all over. One of the kittens had its neck tied with a rope and elongated, its chest cut open, heart exposed, while the other three kittens’ heads were stepped on."

This sad moment reminds me of my 3 cats that had been poisoned with rat poison and died in front of my eyes.

ps; Have some pity even though you don't like cats.

When Was The Last Time I Went There?

2010-05-20T16:38:00.017+08:00

This is a long due post hence it is gonna be LONG!

After the final exam, Raihan H plan dengan Shidot to have a road trip. Since I've never been to any road trip with my friends, why not kan? So, last Wednesday, kami berlapan pun bertolak ke Port Dickson atau PD naik 2 buah kereta.

Before sampai PD sempat juga la stop dekat R&R Seremban untuk isi perut tapi I didn't know what to eat so tumpang orang lain punya breakfast. There was this one R&R guy - kedai dia depan tempat kami makan, who non-stop singing. Nak mengorat tapi trick dia tak menjadi. I had hot milo that morning and he even sang about my drink. Macam pervert pun ada. Desperado!

Around 11.30 am sampai dekat PD tapi tak tau nak buat apa so tukar baju dulu dekat Petronas PD.

After tukar baju, we decided to mandi dekat Teluk Kemang sebab dekat Tanjung Tuan air tengah surut. Lagi pun still pagi kan so, memang air laut surut.

The tour guide with his son. I don't know what's Sharene doing there.

Our first activity was snorkeling. Air agak cetek so boleh pijak corals tapi watch out for the sharp ones. Sakit juga la kalau luka kena air masin. One of us kena mabuk laut so Nadiah just stay in the boat while we had fun in the water. Kesian juga la dia tak had fun langsung.

I can sit on the corals but the wave was so strong. Badan memang rasa kena tolak dengan ombak tapi takut punya pasal, I pegang coral kuat-kuat lepas tu bila snap gambar, muka jadi macam ni. Hehe!

The water was quite clear. Boleh nampak la juga ikan dalam air. Seronok juga la main kejar-kejar dengan ikan. Haha!

Bila nak panjat banana boat agak susah so we had to hang onto each other but in this case, these two girls didn't know how to swim so they kept pulling my life jacket and legs. Memang susah sangat nak tarik because the wave was strong and nak mengelak kena corals yang tajam.

After snorkeling, Abang Tour Guide bawa jalan-jalan pergi sight-seeing naik banana boat. Memang challenging! Sakit pinggang aku! Siap kena campak masuk laut lepas tu kena terajang and siku dengan orang lain. Memang sakit juga la tapi overall fun habis!

Pergi tempat orang kaya tengok boat besar and hotel yang tak mampu nak bayar. Semua orang macam jakun juga la tengok boat besar. Haha!

Lagi banyak kali kena humban masuk laut. Memang fobia lepas ni tak mau naik banana boat lagi. Tapi muka maintain happy, dalam hati Tuhan je la yang tahu sumpah seranah. Wakakaka!

Dah puas Abang tu jatuhkan kitorang baru stop. So, apa lagi boleh buat? Main air and cam-whore je la yang mampu.

Lepas semua dah wash off and tukar baju, lapar la pula kan. So, kitorang pergi makan dekat...

The place was ok. Tepi jalan betul so siapa yang concern about habuk tu tak sesuai la. Tapi kitorang redah je sebab semua dah penat and lagi pun it was a very late lunch. Kalau pergi kedai makan biasa for sure dah tak ada lauk.

An attempt of drinking 3 drinks at one time

Dia ni memang tak puas hati. Orang try 3 drinks dia nak 5 drinks!

I had plain fried mee that was more to Mi Sedap yang gila sikit - macam separuh packet Mi Sedap, and a glass of Jasmine Tea. Nak tunggu makanan sampai macam travel dari PD ke Bangi! The service was poor. Nasib baik Jasmine Tea sangat refreshing.

Dah lapar sangat sampai tak sempat nak snap gambar mee yang sangat sedikit.

Lepas makan balik terus ke Shah Alam. Esok hari, muka dah ada 2 tone warna and both thighs ada line sebab pakai seluar belang-belang.

Sampai sekarang, kesan pantai PD still tak hilang lagi. Tiap hari scrub muka and badan tapi kesan still sama. Haha! Thanks a lot for those who made it to that day. Siapa yang tak terjemput, sorry ye. Hope to see you guys in the future. Good luck to all my BSAC classmates! Love ya!

Ladies On Tuesday!

2010-05-12T00:39:00.004+08:00

Tak tahu pula every Tuesday is Ladies' Day dekat TGV. Okay, so this movie is quite interesting. Behind all the jokes and cruel animals, there is an idea of why we should preserve our mother nature. So, this movie is good to educate the children.

ps; The raccoon was cruel, man!

I'm Still Using The VGA Camera Phone

2010-05-11T00:17:00.009+08:00

Disclaimer: All pictures were taken using my previous camera phone.

I used to be a chubby girl. This particular photo was taken on the Merdeka Day 2007 countdown at my university. I was in my first semester of my degree study.

Haniza & me - Stadium UiTM, 2007

L to R: me, Haniza & Yati - Stadium UiTM, 2007

This photo was also taken during my first semester. I had to attend an annual dinner for Kesatria, a uniform body established by the university. I really hate the Commander who turned out to be one of my favourite seniors later.

Kesatria Dinner, 2007 - Goldcoast Hotel, Klang

If I'm not mistaken, this photo was taken at home. I was so bored hence this photo. That is my teddy bear which was given by my ex-boyfriend. Now, I can't sleep without the presence of my teddy bear. He's already 5 years old.

Teddy & me at home

I don't know why I snap this photo. It's a decoration on my bed sheet.

Guess what is this? This is the trademark of JCO Donuts & Coffee! I went to Indonesia during my second year if I'm not mistaken and at that particular time, there was still no JCO outlet in Malaysia. I brought back a dozen of doughnuts but it was all soggy after a few hours.

This photo was taken at my kampung, Bagan Datoh in Perak. I went back with my Mom to visit her relatives. I think somebody passed away that time and this picture was taken at the cemetery.

This photo was taken while I was waiting for Mom to finish Solat Terawih. I was sleepy and bored.

Can you spot my Mom? Second from left, wearing kain pelikat as her kain solat.

This photo was taken in a bus. I went out with my friend, Ariel immediately after the exam. We went to Mid Valley and took the Rapid KL U80 bus from Shah Alam to KL.

Ariel & me - In the bus, 2007

Photos below were taken during Ihtifal or Graduation of a kindergarten that is own by one of my Mom's friends. This is Iffah, my Auntie Sakyah's daughter. She is cute, isn't she?

Iffah Amelia & me - Ihtifal, 2007

This is Iffah's eldest brother, Aziz Al-Haq. Their father is an Indonesian so I think that's why they have some kind of unique look, no?

Aziz & me - Ihtifal, 2007

The farthest left is Iffah's second brother, Fauzan Fathullah. What a unique name! In the middle is Aliya, daughter of Kak Ita who is one of the kindergarten teachers.

Fauzan, Aliya & me - Ihtifal, 2007

This is Kak Imay. She's an Indonesian but has been living in Malaysia for quite a while. She's one of the helpers at the kindergarten. She wasn't in a good mood hence the face. Hehe!

Kak Imay & me - Ihtifal, 2007

This is my younger sister. She's currently in Egypt doing only-God-knows-what. Haha! Now don't say that she looks cuter than me! I'll be so jealous. Haha!

Kak Uda & me - Ihtifal, 2007

This is my favourite kid from the kindergarten. He is so adorable, kan? Hehe!

Arif & me - Ihtifal, 2007

During the end of my first semester, I had been diagnosed with Tuberculosis, TB. It is an air-borne disease which I might had been randomly infected. You know, with the increased number of foreign workers, the probability to get infected will also be increased.

So, at first I was admitted to the ENT ward and the specialist in-charge, Dr Azmi was so handsome! Haha! I still remember how nervous I could get during the appointment. I was admitted and quarantined for a week before the Raya Haji that year. The doctor asked me to stay for a couple more days but I said "saya nak balik kampung tengok lembu!" so the doctor let me go. Haha! I lost almost 10kg because of TB. My shirt size shrink from M to S and my waist reduced from 29 inches to 26 inches. Wow! Haha!

First admission

The second admission was because of rashes due to allergy. The antibiotic they gave was too strong and my body rejected the medicine hence the rashes. They did a thorough examination and I had to take off all my clothes during the examination. I'm not creating some blue story here but, I had to! It was the most embarrassing moment of my life!

The specialist and consultant were nice but, you know, doctors aren't always the adults. Haha! They argued among each other in front of the patient (me) which I found very funny. I was given steroid to cure the allergy and rash and because of that drug, I gained back my 10kg that I lost before. Damn! My waist increased to 30 inches and I couldn't wear S size shirts anymore. Haha!

Second admission - First bed

This one, I had to switch bed because the TB I had was a localized one and won't spread through the air. I switched from the first class (one bed in one room) to the second class (six beds in one room). Tidak best!

Second admission - Second bed

And as usual, my teddy bear had to accompany me at the hospital. There was one night where the HO had to asked me to put my teddy aside so he can stick the syringe needle properly to take my blood for a test.

I am still using a VGA camera phone but with smaller screen. Hehe! What's important that I can listen to my mp3 player and radio at all time. Camera is not that important for me.

ps; What is wrong with you? How am I suppose to know you if you don't let me?

The One That Carry Me In Her Tummy For 9 Months

2010-05-09T13:03:00.007+08:00

This is my Mom:

She doesn't know how to take pictures!

Butttt, these are what she's best of!

She was super happy on her birthday last two years,

Menggedik during her first son's convo,

Still nak membebel with her first grandchild,

Laugh during last three year's raya at her friend's house

Swipe her credit card at the dentist

Muncung macam Donal Duck during her second child's convo,

Still in her black jubah even though pergi site visit,

Calm her daughter down bila sakit,

Cry when her sister came back from Mekah,

Syukur first time dapat duit raya from her first daughter,

Naik Bukit Larut pakai baju kurung,

Now you know how my Mom looks like.

I Lost My Driving License!

2010-05-08T23:32:00.013+08:00

Tonight, I decided to pick up my laundry at Section 7 and may be grab an ice-cream so I started unpack my stuff from yesterday's sling bag that I used to go watch movie. Then, I realized that I lost my driving license. I though may be I accidentally dropped it in the car or somewhere downstairs. I tried to look for it but fail! Got scared and nervous, I decided to lodge a police report after I pick up my laundry.

Now, don't start commenting on my face in the photo. I didn't wear any make-up.

I took the Federal Highway for a faster route but there was a massive traffic jam at Padang Jawa exit. I was so pissed off! The cars weren't moving. Well, may be a few centimeters a minute! Like, WTF is going on? I guess may be because of the i-City. You know, nowadays everybody wants to go to the i-City as if there is something fucking amazing but, no! There are only colourful lights and nothing else! I stuck in the jam for almost ONE FUCKING HOUR! I shit you not!

Just at the junction, entry to the Commercial Center of Section 7, there was this black Kia Spectra which the driver was so STUPID, blocked my car. Before that, the car was on the right lane and wanted to squeeze into my lane to take over the cars in front FROM THE LEFT. What a fucking stupid driver he was. I was really pissed off and honk non-stop to the car in front.

Guess what?? The laundry was closed when I reached there! Fuck fuck FUCK!!! And the reason of the massive traffic jam was just because of some accident or perhaps murder happened beside the Commercial Center. Everybody was so damn busy body and slowed down their cars just to take a peak on what was happening. If you really want to know what happen, Stop your car and ask around! Don't slow down your car la wei! Malaysian habit! I really hate that!

After I lodged a police report, I went straight to Jusco Bukit Raja to trace down my lost license. I got lucky because the Mc D staff kept it. Thank God! Now I learn that no matter how lazy you are, just use a handbag not some small sling bag. May be I dropped my license while I was looking for my money inside the sling bag. I didn't bring my purse because the sling bag was too small. Plus, I was too lazy to carry a handbag.

The sling bag is too small it can't fit my purse

My big black huge purse. It is huge for me.

Moral of the story, always check your important stuffs like IC, driving license and money. Although you keep it in your bag but there is still chance for you to slip off those cards and notes. Sorry I curse a few times. Take care guys!

ps; I forgive you this time

There was one Malay movie that I was really looked forward to (I've never wanted to watch Malay movies) and it was BELUKAR. To be honest, I was impressed with the movie. I like the storyline and Daphne Iking! Haha! Despite all the hotness of Daphne, I'd say she was fantastic in that movie. I just don't like the ending of the movie where the truth was revealed. Where they all came from and how all plans were planned. May be the truth can be revealed in another mysterious way but it was a success.

Thanks Daphne for great movie. Thanks Bront for the romantic stuffs. Thanks to the director and script writer for great work.

As if they gonna read my blog. LOL!

Mother's Day on Sunday but I still don't know how to surprise Mom. I wanna make something special for her like bake some cookies or may be chocolate cake but I'm a blondie in the kitchen. I mean, my eyes can barely stand the onions and my nose can never stands the smell of the chillies. So, I think I'll just buy some pretty muffins from the bakery shop and make my own deco.

Just for fun, let's do a quiz just like in the picture above!

My Mom's name
Emak! Khairiah binti Ahmad

My Mom's favourite colour is
This is a total guess; Blue

My Mom's favourite music is

My Mom's favourite TV show is

I like to go with my Mom to
I bet most of you will say shopping complex but I don't really go out with Mom so I don't really have the answer.

I like when my Mom cooks
Spaghetti bolognese

My Mom makes me laugh when
Something funny

My Mom loves when I
Listen to her

My Mom is special because
She gave birth of me!

ps; I hate it when you you go out without texting me first!

It's A Wrap!

I had my last paper today and it was not good! I had very limited ideas on what to write and I couldn't even think of the translation of the word PENEBAT! What is PENEBAT in English anyway? Haha! Yeah, I was really stuck and still am!

BTW, as usual mom and dad will send me text messages before my exam saying they forgive for any sins I've made and pray for my success. You know what the old people said; kalau parents tak berkat (maafkan dosa) nanti susah jawab exam. My parents have this ( like ritual) thing that they do every time their children sit for the exam. They would take leaves from work just for us since my brother sat for his UPSR and this (ritual) thing will never stop until my youngest sister finish her SPM (may be by that time Mak dah retire).

So, instead of taking leaves, they send us text messages. Ye la, takkan internal exam pun nak cuti kan?

From Dad;
Salam didoa semoga cemerlang dlm pereksa usaha sungguh2 tq

From Mom;
Assalam rmbr Bismillah doa n zam2, mak ayah doa Allah brkti sume usha kl dkrniai kjyan cmrlg, slawat 2 recal pe yg lupa beh exm lik umah quran doa ingt Allah

Can you understand the messages? Haha! My dad has this habit of saying 'tq' every time he send me text message. Even when I asked for pocket money, he would reply;

Ok mlm nanti ayah bank in tq

And mom is being mom. Squeeze everything in one text message. She won't stop typing until it's full.

Anyway, I love my parents so much, I do. Who doesn't? And PENEBAT is INSULATOR (goddamit!). Alright, I've got to go. Nak isi perut! Love!

ps; I pun sayang you jugak!

Front Seater

The tickets were sold out two days before screening so I was thinking may be the second episode of Iron Man would be a blast. The truth is, it was not. I was quite disappointed but not up to the "regret" level yet. I was more to "I'm bored so let's watch Iron Man" level so, my time had been filled with Iron Man 2 watched from the most front row seat. First time ever! At least, ada pengalaman tengok wayang front seat kan?

ps; Ada orang belanja sanggup la. Kalau guna duit sendiri tak kuasa nak duduk front seat! Hehehe!

Corinne Bailey Rae

2010-05-06T00:52:00.003+08:00

I usually know the song but I don't know who's the singer and what's the title of the song. These two songs that I really love to listen to (read: on repeat on my mp3 player) are from my childhood days and I never know that the singer is Bailey Rae. Enjoy the songs!

Just Like A Star

Put Your Records On

ps; I miss you

My Music Circle

2010-05-04T15:34:00.005+08:00

I listen to variety kind of music. From the maximum rock to the minimum mellow type of music. I can listen to Metallica all day or just lay back and listen to the oldies like Louis Armstrong. Currently, I'm listening to these two singers who are very interesting not only in their music but also in the lyrics arrangement. Their music are very soothing just like some of Imogen Heap's songs. So, enjoy the songs!

Melissa Indot - Hold On

Atilia Haron - Ranjau

ps; I enjoy tengok you nyanyi

An apology is the superglue of life. It can repair just about anything.
-Lynn Johnson-

Do you believe it?
But why people always say "sorry isn't good enough"?

The answer is:

Truth is, everybody's going to hurt you. You just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.
-Bob Marley-

Or, do you prefer such apology like this?

ps; I really don't know what else I should do.

I was 13 years old when I took this photo. Hahaha! So innocent yet serious. What else can I say? After all, it was me 9 years ago. Time does flies fast, doesn't it? I still have a few copies of this picture in my album. You can PM me if want one. Hahaha! Joking!

ps; Can you believe that the person in that photo is me? I don't!

I'm Loving My 20's

2010-04-23T18:14:00.005+08:00

I am so in love with myself now. Hahaha! You guys can call me whatever you like but I always love myself. This is the THIRD time the same thing happened to me. You can read about the first one here.

The second time it happened quite awhile ago. I had lunch with my friend at one of the restaurants in Section 7, Shah Alam. I was reading a newspaper when a guy came to me and approach me.

Hai. Maaf mengganggu. Saya cuma nak sampaikan salam orang. Dia nak berkenalan dengan awak. Ini ada nombor telefon dia.
Hi. Sorry for disturbing. Somebody said hello to you and he wants to know you personally. This is his number.

And then I said;

Eh, tak apa lah. Saya tak berminat.
Eh, it's okay. I'm not interested.

He replied;

Tak apa. Awak ambil je nombor ni. Kalau berminat nanti, awak telefon la dia.
It's okay. Just take this number. Later, if you're interested to know him, just give him a call.

So I took it (the tissue where the person wrote his number on) and he left. I quickly left the restaurant (I was shocked) before somebody else came to me and do the same thing (now, perasan!).

Today, I decided to study for my next paper at Mc Donald's Section 3 since there is no difference if you study in a library which should be quiet but turn out, the library is not that quiet and if you study at a fast food restaurant which should be a noisy place but turn out to be quite peaceful. I better skip the introduction cause it's too boring so let me just tell you straight.

While I was revising my notes (actually, I was answering the past year's final exam questions), one lady came to me. She's one of the managers cause she was wearing a red stripes shirt. She gave this love-shaped balloon (you know, the folded balloon). She said, somebody gave it to me but I was thinking may be not. May be she was just being nice to me cause I had been there for almost 3 hours. So, I took the balloon and continued my revision.

I had to hang the balloon. The balloon just couldn't stand still.

Later, she approached me and looked like she wanted to have a chat with me. I talked with her for a few minutes and suddenly she asked;

Awak dah kahwin?
Are you married?

And I replied;

No. Not yet.

She asked me again;

Dah ada boyfriend?
Do you have boyfriend?

And I started wondering... I replied;

Kenapa?
Why?

Tak ada lah. Tadi, orang yang suruh saya bagi belon tu, dia nak kenal dengan awak.
Nothing. The person who asked me to gave you the balloon wants to know more about you.

Ohh, ye ke?
Ohh, really?

Nak tahu yang mana orangnya tak?
Would you like to know which one is the person?

I was curious so I said yes. She pointed at one of the staffs and yeah, he was quite handsome.and plus, he was one of the operation managers. Hahaha! At least, this time I got to know which guy who actually wanted to approach me.

Later, she came with a phone number!

The name is so nice, you say it twice! Hahaha!

I knew it was gonna be like this! Hahaha!

So, now you know why I love myself so much. Hehehe! These stories I definitely gonna tell my grandchildren when I become a granma later. Lol!

ps; I know you're jealous but hey, ILY more!

They All Failed To Wow Me

Greek mythology. I don't really study about mythology so I was kinda clueless at the beginning. Thank God for somebody who has extra knowledge about almost everything, I managed to understand the story. Heavy history but failed to impress me.

I looked-up and waited for this movie for quite some time. I like Steve Carell but something went missing in this movie. Lack of element of surprise. Not very great wordings.

ps; Thanks to you because you made my day, everyday!

Political Atomic Bombs!

2010-04-15T08:34:00.009+08:00

The night before, we had to attend a philosophy debate about nuclear energy. The debate WAS in the syllabus of the subject Philosophy of Science that I'm taking for this semester. Why it was taken out from the syllabus is doesn't matter anymore. What is more important is about the energy which is NUCLEAR ENERGY.

So, the debate was about 'Should or Shouldn't Malaysia Go For Nuclear Energy'. The first round started off quite well with the captain of the Affirmative team explained why we should go for nuclear. It was very brief. I like the way she presented the points plus I agreed with the points she gave. Come the captain of the Opponent team with his points, I got bored. The points he gave were very deniable. I'm not saying that he wasn't good but he was actually quite good in presenting but the points are just not relevant to me.

You see, it was right when he said Malaysia should opt for Renewable Energies like hydropower, solar energy, wind energy and etc but to build a dam for hydropower costs a lot of money and it will consume a lot of time. Take China for example. The Manwan Dam was built in 1986 and only finished 17 years later! Multiple issues arose during the 17 years of building just a single dam in China. Political issues, environmental issues, money problems and so forth.

The Manwan Dam in China

The major argue arose when the Opponent team suggested about the Bakun Dam Project. Do you know how many flora and fauna species will be killed just to build a dam? Yes, the energy that will be produced can cater almost the whole Malaysia but think about our future. What will happen to the next generation if the forest is destroyed? Will they know about how Rafflesia flower bloom looks like? Will they know how big the elephant is? Think...

Solar energy is good but only in certain area. Not to the whole Malaysia. We are not in the UAE where the probability of rain is like once a year. Here in Malaysia, it is raining almost once a week. Plus, the maintaining cost is very high. To buy a solar panel is not the same as to buy a new Mercedes or BMW. It is beyond the price of buying an aeroplane. So, think again...

A Solar Panel - This type of solar panel has the ability to detect the sun and able to move as the sun moves

Wind energy? There is not much to say. Malaysia is totally not suitable for wind energy. How fast can the wind blows here? Plus, Malaysia is 'protected' from Philippines at the top and Indonesia at the bottom. So, the wind is not that strong to apply wind energy here.

The Wind Energy Tower

Personally, I would say that Malaysia should opt for nuclear energy. It is much cleaner and cheaper (long term) compared to others. Uranium will not run out cause as far as I know, we can plant Uranium. I mean, if we have the seeds, we can create new Uranium to be used. We are using the nuclear energy for electricity and not for creating the atomic bombs. What happened to Iran is just political issues.

So, Go Nuclear Energy!
