Back at Studies!

It felt so nice to be back in campus again..

The stress,
The assignments,
The proposal papers,
The lectures,
The presentations,
The Asam-Central times,
The Subaidah treats,
The library periods,
The college-no-water hours,
The longing-for-holidays mood,
The absence,
The late-comers,
The grand appearance moments,
and
THE FOOD TIME!!!!!!!

p.s. - Syitah, taktau la nak update apa.. so, ni je lah eh.. :p

How much am I worth?

It hurts.

Aloha!

It has been such a long time since I wrote in my blog. Time has always been so jealous of me and I could not get myself to sit and think and scribble (Can I scribble with the keyboard??) something ponderable!

Mean time,in my silence...

Weddings!
Yeah, one of my best friend, Tina, got married to Asri. Very sweet guy. Tina, please always remember that you are married, leave off your GEDIKNESS ok.. hehehe.. You are one gem and you have got one for yourself too!

Divorce!
yeah, someone close to my heart got divorced! The husband is really a nutcase to leave her alone for months and bibidi bobodi boo.. He was back in his own country.. Yeah, she got married to a Pakistani. She has been with him for four years and now, she is doing it all herself. May she find a better person. Allah's tests are accountable for us because we are not tested beyond our capabilities.. Insyallah!

Proposal!
Yeah, I have proposed to a girl whom I love so much (silently) that I am ready to marry her and if she was ready too.. AND YES, SHE SAID "SAYA BERSETUJU BERKAHWIN DGN MUHAMMAD NOOR BIN ABDUL AZIZ" Yabe da be dooooo!

Birth!
Yeah, One of my cousins gave birth to a pair of twins! She has 3 sons and has always been working and hoping for a girl and bibidi bobodi boo.. there came a pair of beautiful plump girls out of her womb! Congrats sis!

Death!
Yeah, Tina's grandmother and her mother in-law passed away very recently. May Allah accompany their souls THERE.. As for Tina, two new birth are definitely going to make all your family members and in laws happy.. AGAIN.. Insyallah!

I guess, it is enough as for now. Hopefully, I will have the time and opportunity to write again. and of course with lots of PICTURES! :p

p.s. - congrats to Fatin Filzah! :p hihihih..

Name..

I feel so blessed with a name! I mean, a name which carries along a beautiful meaning with it. So, why call a person "Botak, Bulat, Bob"? etc..

It always infuriates me when a person calls me/others name that is not registered in our birth cert! I will be annoyed. No wonder I am not used to calling my friends names other than what was 'tahnik'ed on him/her.

Since my younger years, I have always despised people calling me/others names that are not ours. But as time flies, I realize that there are people who like it or used to it. I mean, used to the "new" names given. Whenever there is a seminar, new college enrollment or so forth, they would definitely be people who come with some names for the "not-so-famous-in-the-group".

"Nicknames stick to people, and the most ridiculous are the most adhesive."
~Thomas C. Haliburton~


"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
~William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet~


"A nickname is the hardest stone that the devil can throw at a man."
~Author unknown, quoted by William Hazlitt~

To Be Back At Where I Once Was

Quite interesting,
Very challenging,
More demanding,

Can I?
Must I?
Should I?

Mind Boggling? Of course!
Distressed? Definitely!
Running out of time? Precisely!

Hope and prayers work simultaneously with hard work and determination!

I will strive for it,
This time, Much better,
Even with a more power to struggle..

Heard once spiderman's someone said, "With great power, comes great responsibility!"

I agree!

To make a FETISH..

My Ramadhan started off with something that will remain unetched in my memory.. A trip to Brunei and Miri, Labuan and some other places in Sabah with friends. The pictures attached will speak on my behalf!


(ngehehehe.. panas seh!)


(what a pose!)


(beautiful Brunei mosque!)


(take note on the Jawi writing, not aizu, PLEASE!)


(best to have them around!)


(map reading when you think you are going off the track!)


(tiga sekawan lagik!)


(at the Sabah Museum.. Looks like Taman Rimba je?!)


(Bajau Laut in the making!)


(Dzull Fairool Fahmi's Prada from Labuan!)


(in the ferry to/from Labuan)


(kek yg sgt comel)


(duta-duta!)


(buka puasa with Naza, Aizu and Joon Ming!)

p/s- kepada sesiapa yg berkenaan, SAYA DAH UPDATE BLOG!! :p

L.O.V.E

Why Matno, Why?


sangap?
dah gatai sgt ke?
tulah, takmo kawin awai2..
eh..eh.. hang dah ada calon ka?



Lots and lots of responses!
Malaih aku nak pikir dah.


"Love, like rain, can nourish from above, drenching couples with a soaking joy...
BUT
Sometimes, under the angry heat of life,
Love dries on the surface and must nourish from below, tending to its roots,
keeping itself ALIVE.."


Oh cuti, when are you starting? Am buckled with work!

Am suffocating!

"Ek eleh, mcm ko sorang je.. rilek ah bro!"

"Mcm mana nak rilek, keja bertimbun2.. sampai keje org lain pun kena buat gak! Kena buli ke tu namanya? Or, aku simply tak mcm dulu, mulut lazer?"

"Takut kot?"
"Nyampah dah lazer2 nie"
"Benci life mcmni"

Tapi..

Gaji masyuk,
Seronok tgk skrin atm bila duit dicucuk,
Jgn sampai jadi ngok!

Happy Holidays to all yg dah kerje keras
Happy Holidays to all yg dah kerje lembut
Happy Holidays to all yg tak keje lgsg, makin gaji buta!

Ala.. apa aku heran!

Kubur kau, kau jawab senirik!

Eh..Eh..Takle..Takle.. Aku tarik balik..

Kalau kubur kau, kau jawab seniri, pastikan amalan ko tu cukup ah..
Taknak ah menyusahkan org lain walaupun dah mati.. Yela, ko terjerit2 kena palu,
sian org yg tido di kubur sebelah you tu!

p/s- syitah, dah update!! :p.. lama dah nak update, tapi sibuk la..

A full fledged teacher!

What does a full-fledged teacher mean?

A teacher who-
1)has passed the SPP interview and being promoted as a permanent government officer?
2)has successfully completed his/her probation period?
3)has now got his/her license to behave like what he/she wants?

All of the above, I think, and ...

~A full-fledged teacher is one who is able to rationalize what he/she is doing without giving senseless reasons for his/her actions..
~A full-fledged teacher is one who is now, accountable for everything he/she does in and outside of the classroom as long as teaching and learning, pupils, staff and school property as well as the contract that he/she is expected to abide by are concerned..
~A full-fledged teacher is one who is able to leave aside his/her predicaments despite any situations he/she may be in and be able to contribute whatever he/she can..

and finally,

~A full-fledged teacher is one who knows what he/she is doing and making sure what/she is doing is right and always is!

Am I one? Are you one? We ask, We introspect.

Once, a senior teacher asked me, "What does G.U.R.U stand for?", I snugged!
He said,-
G - Guna
U - Untuk
R - Rakyat
U - Umum

Happy 1st teaching anniversary to TEYLians! You are one bunch of crazy-yet-full-of-energy teachers! Way to go, brothers and sisters!!

Surprise visit by a serpent!

Aku ke kamar mandi utk membersihkan diri dan berwudhuk. Tatkala matahari memancarkan sinarnya, tegak di atas kepala, aku tidak keseorangan dalam kamar mandi itu. Aku telah dikunjungi makhluk lain bernama.... Naagin (dalam bahasa Hindi)

Tersangatlah terkejut aku, lalu aku pun lari keluar dan memanggil rerakan lain yang sedang beristerirehat di bilik masing2.. Semua turun utk melihat apakah yang dijeritkan oleh si sir ni!

Rupa-rupanya, kawan Naaginku telah datang utk menjengukku.. Aduh!! Sungguh salah timing dan venue nya utk menyampaikan salam raja Naag kepadaku, wahai Amrita!

So, in the end, itulah nasib kawanku, naagin tu..

P.S. - Utk yg tidak paham apa itu Naagin:
Naagin ialah : seekor ular!

Update lagik!

Wah! Today, I feel like writing and updating and uploading pictures! almaklumlah, dah ada kat KK lame.. kang kena sepak dgn syitah sebab tak update blog (hehe.. jgn marah syitah)

Hmm.. Yes, sejak di kk, first time p main bowling adalah aritu.. hmm.. tak ingat la bila.. ni gambor nye..

(mcm kenal je kan??!)

Sebelum p men bowling, kami jalan2.. Along try la mcm2 benda.. ni adalah buktinya..


(comey gak colour2 rantai tuh, along.. tak beli pon!)

Sebelum tu, makan2 dan minum2 kat Sugarbun cafe depan Summerlodge(ejaan dalam sms dgn dzull 'sameloj'), syitah tunjuk ubat dia.. gelak mampus aku.. tgkla seniri..


(untuk bengkak dalam tekak, kena isap ubat tuh! jgn pikir yg bukan2)

hikhikhikhik..

p/s- si empunya kasut tu ndak sudah guna kasutnya ke KK.. dia ada sudah kereta.. kasut tu digunanya waktu muda2..

Aku- Dulu dan Sekarang.. Ngehehehehe

Masa tadika dulu, mak aku ckp kalau tak belajar rajin2, takle graduate.. so, aku pon belajarlah rajin2.. and finally I graduated!



Pastu, aku pon belajar dan belajar dan belajar (eh.. aku nakal gak.. ada gak main2, lazer sana sini dgn mulut capoi aku ni..) aku dapat gak masuk Unibersiti.. Mak pak aku sgtlah bangga anak sulung depa dapat masuk U, siap depa wat kenduri woo.. terharu gak la aku.. pakcik2 aku siap top up untuk kenduri tu and depa wat kat umah tok aku.. huhuh.. aku rasa mcm raja je pada hari dibacakan doa selamat, my youngest paternal uncle a.k.a pak haji kat family kami letak aku tengah2 bulatan yg diorg buat utk bacaan yasin.. tersipu-sipu aku.. hehe.. pastu aku didoakan.. aku pon tawaf la utk salam semua makhluk yg ada dalam circle tu.. hikhik.. praktis utk majlis nikah yg ntah bila akan diadakan..

And on 18th october 2008, I finally graduated from UUM.. mak pak aku sgt la seronok..



Persamaan dan perbezaan dua-dua gambar?

A story to share..

- I miss my parents and family so much that I was searching for something on the Internet and found this story. Happy Day, Everyone! -


I ran into a stranger a she passed by, "Oh excuse me please" was my reply. She said, "Please excuse me too; I wasn't watching for you." We were very polite, this stranger and I. We went on our way and we said good-bye.

But at home a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later that day, cooking the evening meal, My son stood beside me very still. When I turned, I nearly knocked him down. "Move out of the way," I said with a frown. He walked away,his little heart broken. I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.

While I lay awake in bed, God's still small voice came to me and said, "While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, but the children you love, you seem to abuse. Go and look on the kitchen floor, You'll find some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers he brought for you. He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue. He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise, you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes.

"By this time, I felt very small, And now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt by his bed; "Wake up, little one, wake up," I said.
"Are these the flowers you picked for me? He smiled,"I found 'em, out by the tree. I picked 'em because they're pretty like you. I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."

I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn't have yelled at you that way." He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay.I love you anyway."
I said, "Son, I love you too, and I do like the flowers, especially theb lue."

~Are you aware that if we died tomorrow,the company that we are
working for could easily replace us in a matter of days.(Would they ever think about us? Maybe a condolence note to our family and that's it!!) But the family we left behind, will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than into our own family. An unwise investment indeed, don't you think??~

FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU

have you ever thought..

have you ever thought what would happen once you close your eyes forever?
have you ever thought what would happen when you leave without a word?
have you ever thought what would happen if the world comes down to your knee?
have you ever thought what would happen if time stops spinning?

people say,
"Why do I need to bother what happens next?"
"Why do I need to say anything?"
"Why do I need to be bothered about others?"
"Why do I need to think of that?"

people do reply,
"I will be six feet under!"
"I will never be forgiven!"
"I will run for life!"
"I will freeze!"

some laugh,
some cry,
some cough,
some smile!

and you?

have you ever thought about it?

Apa masalah hampa ni? Let me be what I want to be!

Dah berkali-kali aku cakap jangan tanya aku bila aku nak kahwin!
Dah aku tulis, cakap, maki, psiko, senyum, marah, sms, call, merajuk dan mcm2 mode and medium aku guna untuk sampaikan mesej aku tapi masih tak paham lagik!

Aku belum bersedia, as simple as that.

Ada pula yg bermulut celabaih (ala-ala Penang, owh, How I miss Penang so much!!) yg p kata " Sampai bila baru nak bersedia?"

A good question, though. And now, my good answer is "Until you shut the fuck Up!"

Opss.. dah termaki.. Owh, mcm tak kenal matno (dgn nada suara Rinda!)

Some pictures yg takde kena mengena dgn post aku ni.. mcm menciut hati aku, so aku upload.. Kalau terasa, mampoi p ah..









(untuk semua pembaca blog yg dah kawen... Salam perkahwinan dari saya..)

P/S- Tak tension pon.. Saje je letak post ni sebab lama dah tak update blog.. And satu lagi, isu no dah lama I was dealing and dwelling with.. So, sebab aku lupa nak tulis aritu, aku tulis la arini.. Angkat tangan kalau nak aku kawen cepat..

Something for the thinking mind..

Never written a long post for some time.. Here is a loooong one adapted from Regina Brett (a friend of mine quoted Regina Brett in her facebook account).. Read if you want!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio :

"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:"

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.

8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.

13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.

16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.

19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.

23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.

24. The most important sex organ is the brain.

25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words ''In five years, will this matter?".

27. Always choose life.

28. Forgive everyone everything.

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.

35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.

37. Your children get only one childhood.

38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

42. The best is yet to come.

43.. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

44. Yield.

45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.

Tadau Kaamatan Opening Ceremony

Pesta Keaamatan!

It has started in Sabah. All I have been waiting for! It was a treat for me, I guess. When I reached KK, the taxi uncle told me that Keaamatan Festival will be officiated at 8pm! I looked at my watch and it was 7.30pm!!!

I rushed into the hotel, prayed and walked straight to DBKK open area to snap pictures of everything that smelled of Kaamatan! Firstly, I captured (of course, with permission, Syitah!)the pictures of these ladies and gentlemen. Their costume reminded me of Acid, Aizu, Jehan, Cindy, Eliesa and Victoria (My TEYL classmates back in maktab when they performed during Malam Gerko!)



Then I walked around and saw this array of stalls or huts or whatever you name it that sell and display local handicrafts and delicacies.



They had a number of stalls, they did explain about the stuffs they sell




A troop of musicians and dancers (they are old, but they are GOLD)



Then, the colours of Sabah started to glow and blow into the air...



The Sumazau dance performance from the Kadazan Dusun Ethnic of Sabah.. Superb!




A marvellous show by the Muruts (got to know from the emcee that the Muruts were the last to give up Head-Hunting in Sabah)



This one really caught my attention and the Sumandaks really danced very gracefully and their movements were lightning swift- The Bamboo dance, another Murut performance on thanksgiving for paddy!



Selamat Hari Pesta Menuai to All my Sabahan friends! Tadau Kaamatan Ya Bah!
