The Land Down Under

These past 2 weeks, I've been bombarded by series of events. some are good, some are like you've been thrown by ice to your face. Ouch! and times like these, made you realized how much you miss the Land Down Under. 

Yep, I do miss Perth, Western Australia, Australia sometimes. but I'm not going to blog on Perth nor Australia, but I'd like to say that not only I've got my certificate with me, I tagged along some experiences in life, I could not find anywhere else in the world. and I've been blessed by given the opportunity to explore it.  It's true when they said, you can see Islam in the western countries, because I've seen it myself. I'm not going to brag on Australia, but if you have the opportunity to go out from your country for awhile, you'd realize how fortunate you are to have people that you love surrounding you and the things you've been complaining wasn't that a big of deal, and yeah! Australia is such a nice and beautiful country to visit :) Thank you Allah for the opportunity You've given me.

and of course, when I do miss Perth, besides, keeping in touch with friends and family in Perth, I'd watch this one particular video. and I'd laugh myself out and cried a little. If you happen to know Australia, you'd probably get the joke, and excuse me for the language, hope you'd enjoy the video as much as I do :)



and these few days, I've been following, if you've heard him before matluthi90, he happens to be an archi student in my former Uni, Curtin Uni of Tech, WA, if I'm not mistaken. unfortunately, after watching several videos of him, made me miss Perth, even more.





Ah! I miss Perth! :P
missing Perth leads me to fill up a form that I think would change my life once again. Kalau ada rezeki, ada lah :)


Kalau ada rezeki, ada kelapangan, ada umur yang panjang, go travel and see the world, SubhanAllah, you'll be surprise, what you'll get.

I do love my country very much, don't get me wrong, but...

Oh! fly me to the land far far away, even if it's a dream :)

One fine day, I'll show you, whoever you are, the place that taught me life is freaking hard, but pleasant at the same time. I've got to show Mummy and Daddy last time, this is the place, that taught me things I've now become, this is the place where I used to study, this is the place where I play and eat and go to sleep, this is the place that gives me comfort, this is the place where I'd like to shop..and this is the place I fell in love.

Take care everyone! No worries, mate :)


Malaysia, you've got idea, how much I love you! 


But the best part of missing Australia is that missing this kid, from crying, sulking-moments, potty training to now I could jump on her bed and talk girlie stuffs with her. How time flies.

More precious than gold

More precious than gold
by; Bulbir Singh, Seremban

I LIKED what Dzireena Mahadzir said in When less is more (Sense of Style, Trends, StarMag, June 27). She said much about women that I appreciate, especially about how women should dress, behave and act.

What a woman wears and how she looks are not the be all and end all for women; how they behave and act and speak is vital, too. I appreciate a woman who is modestly dressed, well-behaved and well-mannered, too. not one who behaves like a man!

and I like a woman who cloaks herself in mystery - modesty is not just about covering up the hair. to me, a woman should be like a rare jewel, hard to come by. if you want to buy cheap products, go ahead, there are plenty. but remember, good things aren't cheap, and cheap things aren't good!

I have read in a book (More than a hero: Muhammad Ali's life lessons through his daughter's eyes) about the advice that boxer Muhammad Ali gave to one of his daughters, Hana Yasmeen, when she was younger. it seems that she came to visit him in his home wearing clothes that were not very modest. His daughter tells the story of how Ali reacted to her: "When we finally arrived, the chauffeur escorted my younger sister, Laila, and me up to my father's suite. as usual, he was hiding behind the door to scare us. we exchanged many hugs and kisses as we could possibly give in one day.

"My father took a good look at us. Then he sat me down in his lap and said something that I will never forget. He looked me straight in the eyes and said: "Hana, everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and hard to get to".

"Where do you find diamonds? deep down in the ground, covered and protected. where do you find pearls? deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell. where do you find gold? way down in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rocks. you've got to work hard to get to them"

"He looked at me with serious eyes; 'Your body is sacred. you're far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too"

Isn't it beautiful? MasyaAllah.

One is better than two

Bagai terpanggil panggil untuk menulis tentang lelaki-perempuan.
Terasa macam budak sekolah yang pergi ke Girls' school only, cheerleader yang selalu tersenyum menyorak pasukan bola sekolah dan BFF yang duduk having girls' talk sambil menyirup a cup of coffee.

Cliche-nya orang kata, kaum laki-laki ini gagah fizikalnya dan dalamannya. kaum laki laki tidak boleh menangis buruk rupanya. kaum laki laki itu, kaum laki laki ini. Personally I think it's OK to weep and cry a little, after all, men are human beings too. We are all have feelings.

Frankly speaking, I like reading articles on Guys. but up until now, I have zero knowledge on them, makin clueless ada lah! Been keeping this entry in draft for a week, and I guess I'd like to share with you guys. came across this article a week ago also and love-ing it. Oh! I love reading on  how guys will go head over hills over a girl he loves. seeing them go crazy reminded me how crazy love could be.

Dia sedang duduk mencangkung, di tangan kanannya tersisip rokok Marlboro Merah, masih menyala, sentiasa ada asap kelihatan terlepas dari hujung rokok itu. Di tangan kirinya, ada seberkas rumput. Hujung rumput itu diselaputi tanah, ada kelihatan akar berselirat pada gumpalan tanah yang melekat itu.

Cabut rumput ke San?”, aku berbasa basi. Dia buat bodoh, matanya masih pada rumput-rumput itu. Dibuangnya rumput yang digenggamnya tadi ke belakangnya, di situ, ada timbunan rumput lain. Habis saja mencabut seberkas rumput lain, dan membuangnya ke timbunan rumput tadi, dia berhenti. Rokok yang tersisip di celahan jarinya tadi, beralih tempat, kini di celahan bibirnya pula. Hitam saja warna bibirnya itu.

Woi San!! Cabut rumput ke??!”, aku jerit sikit, bagi dia dengar. Kemudian, dia selak rambut gondrongnya, terserlah headphone yang mendiam di telinganya. “Cilake kau San!”, aku terjerit kecil.

Apa dia tadi?”, dia pandang aku, bertanya sekaligus menanggalkan sedikit headphonenya. “Aku tanya, kau dah kahwin ke belum!!!”, aku beliakkan mata, niat memerlinya tadi jadi perkara lain pula. “Shit, aku dah salah tanya soalan.”, gumam aku dalam hati.

Hasan diam. Dia teruskan mencangkung. Dia cuma memakai seluar pendek berwarna putih, cukup-cukup menutupi lutut, itupun kalau dia berdiri, tapi sebab dia mencangkung sekarang, pahanya terdedah. Di tubuhnya, disarung baju warna hitam bertintakan Led Zeppelin. Aku senyum, mamat ni dengan Led Zep memang tak lari. Dia teruskan aktivitinya, dan aku cuma diam, terkedu dengan kesalahan sendiri.

Lebih kurang 10 minit dia diam, dan selama itu jugalah aku tak berganjak dari tempat aku. Menunggu lelaki yang lebih tua 5 tahun dari aku ini memulakan bicara, pe’elnya memang begini, diam kalau ada apa-apa yang mengganggu jiwanya, maka itu aku tunggu dia cakap dulu.

Im..”, mulutnya mula terbuka, tapi sikit saja, sebab dibibirnya masih tersisip rokok, rokok yang baru dinyalakan tadi, “Cinta ni kan Im, macam rumput inilah.”. Jari telunjuknya dikeluarkan dari genggamannya, seraya menunjukkan rumput yang meninggi, lebih tinggi berbanding rumput-rumput lain. “Dia bila dah tinggi mencanak macam ni, susah nak cabut Im, susah..”, nadanya jadi bergetar.

Kau try cabut sini kalau tak percaya”. Dia panggil aku dengan jemarinya yang seakan menari. “Ok!”, aku jerit kecil. Sampai di depan rumput tu, aku pandang Hasan, mata aku bagi isyarat, “Ini je San?”, dia cuma angguk dan lemparkan aku senyum sinis, wajahnya tak berapa jelas sebab ditutup asap rokok. Aku cangkung, dan cuba cabut, tak dapat, dia gelakkan aku. Aku cuba lagi, gagal lagi, dan diketawakan lagi. 5 kali aku cuba, 5 kali aku gagal, dan 5 kali aku diketawakan. Aku pasrah.

Kau boleh cabut Im”, dia kata lepas habis gelak. “Tapi kau kena pakai cangkul itulah”. Dia tunjukkan cangkul yang terbaring di tepi jalan bertar dekat rumah kami. Ke arah kanan, jalan bertar itu memanjang ke atas bukit, selepas melepasi dua buah rumah lagi sebelum berselirat menuju kampung-kampung lain. Ke arah kiri pula, ianya mendatar, melepasi beberapa buah rumah, sebuah gerai kecil milik jiran, dan terus membawa penggunanya keluar ke pekan.

Aku ambil cangkul itu, dan tak sampai 5 minit, rumput yang tadi megah berdiri mengatasi rumput-rumput lain bersemadi di genggaman aku. Aku senyum, puas. Tak sedar yang aku sedang membahu cangkul yang beratnya beberapa kilogram. Kepuasan mengatasi segalanya. Heh.

Hasan cuma senyum. Dia duduk di atas tanah bekas rumput tadi. Dia pandang aku yang sedang berdiri, dibibirnya sudah lekang dari rokok, kerana rokok tadi, mendiam pula dicelahan jemarinya. Tak habis-habis dengan rokoknya, dengan Led Zepnya, bisik hati aku. Aku lihat Hasan cuma senyum, sinis.

Kau tengok rumput tu, ada akar tak”, aku belek-belek rumput di genggaman aku ni bila dia cakap macam tu, lepas tu aku geleng kepala. “Sebab itulah aku cakap, cinta ni macam rumput Im”. Hasan mula duduk dengan betul, ditepuk-tepuk bontotnya, digagau-gagau pula poket tepi kirinya, kemudian dia keluarkan sebatang lighter dan sebatang rokok lain. Hujung rokok dan lighter tadi dicumbu, sesaat saja, dan rokok tadi menyala. Tanpa lengah, dicucuh pula bibirnya dengan rokok itu.

Kau tahu, bila kau cabut rumput tu, tanpa akar, rumput tu akan tumbuh balik”, dia mula bercakap dengan rokok disisip pada bibir, “Macam juga cinta, kalau kau cabut perasaan cinta kau tu, tanpa kau cabut akar-akarnya sekali, kiranya sia-sia, sebab…”, dia diam sekejap, fikir aku, mesti dia ingat perempuan tu. “Sebab perasaan cinta kau, akan kekal di situ, dekat hati kau.”. Jari yang disisipkan rokok dihala pada dada ku, sebelum dia sambung bermadah, “Jadi, macam mana kau cuba cabut pun cinta kau tu, kau date dengan perempuan lain ke apa, kau tahu itu sia-sia, sebab cinta kau, cuma pada perempuan tu seorang”, dia hembuskan asap rokoknya, berkepul-kepul huruf O terhasil,

Dia seorang….

Dia diam, matanya ada pada awan, ada pada langit, jiwanya juga begitu aku rasa. Aku perasan, ada air mata bergenang. Dia tunduk, jatuhlah setitis dua, kemudian digosok-gosok matanya. “Cilaka kereta tadi, main hembus asap karbon monoksida lak kata mata aku, berair terus”, dia bagi alasan. Aku cuma senyum.

Kau masih ingat dia ke San?” aku tanya, dia pandang aku, kemudian dia tanya, “Kau dengan Siti macam mana, kau dah lupa kat dia?”, dia pulang paku buah keras kat aku. Sial, macam mana dia tahu ni, aku jerit dalam hati, “Kau baca blog aku San?”, aku tanya dia. Dia berdiri, buat bodoh dengan soalan aku. Dia arahkan kakinya ke arah timbunan rumput tadi. Dah, jom tolong aku, cepat!! Jeritnya sambil memeluk rumput yang dah dicabut tadi dan kemudian berjalan ke arah tempat bakar sampah.

Aku bergegas, tapi aku perasan aku pijak sesuatu, aku tengok ada dompet, terbuka, ada gambar Hasan. Ada gambar perempuan. Ini.. perempuan tu.. Aku senyum lagi. “Kau tak payah jawab soalan aku San, gambar ni dah jawab dah”, aku bisik dalam hati.

Sambil membakar rumput-rumput tadi, aku pandang awan, dan aku terlihat Siti. Tiba-tiba mata aku pun kena hembus karbon monoksida. Demmit.

Like I said, It's a good feeling when reading sth like this, I can be pretty amazed when a guy likes a girl. some will say, it's plain boring, too emotional. some will suggest, carik yang lain, and I'd simply say that I could bet my life that this guy, yang tinggi angan angan nya wouldn't dare.

Tapi Sayang, yeh two is better than one, orang kata lah tp sometimes, one is better than two "Dia Seorang"

Daddy's day dan White Veil Occasion

I've got two weddings on last Sunday (10th April), but managed to only go to one of the weddings.
Fana is my best friend when we were in UPM and still is. We ended up being closest friends when we were in last year in UPM when me, Fana, Shira, Sally and Molie, were supervised by the same supervisor, Dr. Mano.  I still remembered how we were punished, and scolded by him, and deep down he wanted us to succeed. How time flies, Molie is now married and just gave birth to a handsome boy, Fana just got married to her love of her life, tinggal tiga orang je lagi ni :P

I tagged along BFF to the wedding, it was pretty simple yet overwhelming. you know, when two people is in love, you could tell? I am so happy for Fana, after all she's been through, May happiness will always be with you dear. Got to meet Shira, Zamakh and his wife, Aniq and his wife. everyone is all grown up. Awwwwww.

I guess, when you got something else better to do other than love, you get married :P
Here some of the pictures, congrats again dear :) Moga kekal hingga ke syurga :)

Today (11th of April) is Daddy's birthday. Since it's Monday and he's working, we've already celebrated on last Saturday lagipun, Wanie and Atie were home. 

Daddy dear, nobody's perfect but you are closest to perfect. I could not ask for anyone else to be my daddy,  mati hidup semula pon I cannot re-pay you, you're the bestest Dad I could ever asked. you taught me to be blessed for the air that i breath and the things that I've got. Happy Birthday daddy dear, moga di panjangkan umur dan dimurahkan rezeki, Indeed, you're old, please take care. 

I was touched when daddy replied my msg. He wanted his children to be a good Muslimah, not the noun, not the capital M, but the small m, the verb, InsyaAllah.

PS it'd be really cool if I could find someone like daddy. you don't have to be pakar ekonomi, daddy treats us good plus he has a stand, that no matter what, he will firmly believes he can. I love you dearly daddy!

BENCI

AH! Aku BENCI KAU! Sungguh!

It's So Hard

I should be preparing for tomorrow but here I am blogging. I was cleaning up my room today, and each time I clean my room up, I'll read my favourite poem, folded it on a piece of paper. and each time I read it, I'll have the same exact feeling. Care to join? :P

It's from Becca Woolf
It's So Hard

It's so hard to say "I love you", and not draw back in tears,
It's so hard to know that you're not there to help me face my fears,
It's so hard to know the phone's at reach, but I cannot hear your voice,
It's so hard to know that this time breaking up was not my choice,
It's so hard to see you laughing when I'm crying deep inside,
It's so hard to just find feelings and now have to make them hide,
It's so hard to live without you, when I need you more than words,
To want to scream how much I love you but hold back and not be heard,
It's so hard to go to sleep when I cannot dream of you,
It's so hard to think that you might fall in love with someone new,
It's so hard to not start crying when I hear your favourite song,
It's so hard to sit and wonder, where did I go wrong?
It's so hard to live without you, if I only would have known,
I will never love another, I would rather be alone.

probably it has to do with bukan senang untuk menjadi senang :)

CUN! Movie

Hari ini aku dibebel lagi oleh mama "suka sangat pergi tempat lagha tuh, nak rahmat Allah kenelah tinggalkan semua itu, nak rezeki dari Allah kenelah seimbang"

Aku senyap sahaja, deep down I know mama patut marah, she loves me to death, I took her hands and cium minta maaf.

Today I went to Alamanda to watch Cun! with BFF, aku guna alasan mahu fotostat itu ini untuk hari Jumaat ini, sememangnya aku sangat serabut untuk hari Jumaat ini. This morning I woke up crying again, rindu barangkali, so I decided to go out.

Cun!, cerita melayu yang biasa biasa sahaja. setakat mahu gelak gelak, suka suka, boleh lah. tapi ended up aku menangis juga. Well, if you know me that well, aku memang kuat menangis pun. Tak boleh tahan lah part Remy Ishak cakap, aku orang kampung sahaja, memang tak setanding dengan kamera kau yang banyak, memang banyak pon tapi ingat kau banyak duit boleh buat sesuka hati.

Mungkin juga sebab aku suka sangat dengan Maya Karin, aku pergi tengok. Cun! ini cerita tentang budak kampung ingin bercinta dengan budak bandar. Eh! banyak juga pesanan yang boleh didapati dari cerita ini seperti, orang bandar patut kurangkan guna energy untuk elak global warming and climate change, lagi satu, orang kampung pon kene kurangkan guna pesticide yang tidak organic.

Selain aku cuba untuk selam selam cerita ini, aku suka bila BFF komen "mungkin benda benda ini terjadi pada artis artis kita, realitynya; kawen kontrak, sponsor, dan lain lain"

"Ah! Siapa kata KLCC tak padan dengan sawah padi?" 


I've told you once and I'm going to tell you again "Buat tindakan jangan ikut emosi sahaja"
