The Spy Who Loved Me

In actual fact, this entry is made especially For Your Eyes Only.

You claimed that you no longer read this blog, so I figure either you coveted yourself when visiting it or you sent The Spy Who Loved Me.

Which is why, I am reminding you to Never Say Never Again.

Not only that I have scared The Living Daylights out of you, I also have Golden Eye and Licence To Kill.

And, since The World Is Not Enough, you could choose either to Live And Let Die or to Die Another Day.

Either way, i do not care because for me, Tomorrow Never Dies.

From Russia With Love,

Is He A Player?




Your Guy is A Total Player!



While he might not be actively seeing other women,

Your guy's got the potential to be a total player

And chances are that he's at least looking and flirting.

It's up to you: do you want to tame this guy, dump him, or join him in the game?

Earth Hour 2008


I received an email yesterday,from World Wildlife Fund (WWF) informing me of Earth Hour 2008.

(adapted and quoted from Earth Hour site)


Earth Hour started on 31st March 2007 in Sydney, Australia. On this day, for one hour, Sydney made a powerful statement about the greatest contributor to global warming – coal-fired electricity – by turning off its lights. Over 2.2 million Sydney residents and over 2,100 businesses switched off, leading to a 10.2% energy reduction across the city. What began as one city taking a stand against global warming caught the attention of the world.

In 2008, 24 global cities will participate in Earth Hour at 8pm on March 29. Earth Hour is the highlight of a major campaign to encourage businesses, communities and individuals to take the simple steps needed to cut their emissions on an ongoing basis. It is about simple changes that will collectively make a difference – from businesses turning off their lights when their offices are empty, to households turning off appliances rather than leaving them on standby.

Thousands of lights that illuminate office buildings, public structures and monuments were switched off Saturday evening, darkening the city's iconic skyline for one hour, in an effort to publicise the effects of climate change.

10 recent things that made me happy

I got tagged to write about 10 recent things that made me happy. And I thank Sultana for passing this to me, and for reminding me of those happy moments.

1. Learning that my other half has recently moved one big step further in his profession. Thoughts of him always filled me with happiness and pride. I learned a lot from him, for he is my Jedi Master. He wants me to go further and to stay positive all the time. Whenever I say his name, it's always with a smile on my lips. Truly, he is my soul of happiness and inspiration.

2. Playing with my little niece everyday. She is one of the best things that happened in my life. I love her unconditionally, not only because she's my niece, but because of her lovable and remarkable nature. Her name means "A loyal and comforting companion" and that's what she is. And the fact that ours is the most natural and mutual aunt-niece relationship, makes me even more happier. Every time she shouts "Mak Long!", the feeling of joy is really indescribable.

3. My hero, Kimi Raikkonen won Malaysian Formula One Grand Prix last weekend. I pray that he will become the World Champion again for 2008 season.

4. I am so happy that I am losing weight steadily now. It is not easy for me, but hey it's happening!

5. Remember that 80s TV Series titled MacGyver? Hey, they're playing it now on Channel 2 every friday night. Yes, we have ASTRO channels. Yes, we have Singapore channels. Yes, we get to watch Indonesian channels here in JB. But, MacGyver? Yeeehahhhh!

6. I was able to read since I was 3. And I have never stopped reading since then. Yes, reading makes me happy. Now and forever.

7. I have so many good blogger friends and everyday I found many new things where blogging is concerned.

8. My recent visit to Horizon Hills. From the moment I first heard and learned about it, I have fallen for it. Yes, it's where I dream to have a place to live.


9. I am happy and thankful for the person that I am, for being a better person than I was and for every single happy moment in my life.

10. For everything that has happened in my life, good or not-so good ones, I am so happy for the fact that I am always able to smile and laugh everyday. :D :D

And I am passing this to Cai and Red Devil. :)

Maturity


The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of childhood into maturity --Thomas Henry Huxley

Ada juga jenis-jenis manusia yang suka timbulkan maturity issue to the point of annoyance. Orang-orang macam ni yang selalunya yang immature. I don't know if they have identity crisis or something, but these people, in trying and wanting so much to appear matured, dia jadi macam outstandingly childish sampai naik menyampah tengok.

Don't be surprised, though, if you notice, orang macam nilah yang selalu point at orang lain as "tak matured" or "macam budak-budak". As for me, personally I tak pernah peduli pun kalau orang nak kata I macam ni. Hey, in every man there lurks a child, ain't it? If you cannot accept that, then truly, you are not matured. For these reasons lah, until now, at this age, I memang suka main playstation, or watch Cartoon Network, or buy soft toys, or play kite ~ the list is endless. So what?


Maturity begins when we're content to feel we're right about something without feeling the necessity to prove someone else wrong. -- Sydney J. Harris

This is another thing. Kalau ada crisis ke, atau problem ke, maturity calls a person to deal with it in the most sensible way and tackle the issues steadily. Meaning, takde lah nak heret mak bapak sekali ke, siblings ke, or panggil gang ke.. kan? Or buat roadshow sana sini, announce to the whole world. Ataupun buat ungkit-mengungkit session. I mean, if you are confident enough that you are blameless and innocent, then diam-diam sudahlah. No need to go out of the way pulak nak tunjuk diri sendiri betul and others are wrong. Amazingly, many people tend to have lots of energies kalau nak buat benda-benda macam ni. *sighs*


Relationships are the hallmark of the mature person. -- Brian Tracy

Ni yang paling best dalam dunia.. eheh nak cakap banyak-banyak pun malas, takut ada yang terasa kan. Anyways, kalau nak tau orang tu mature ke tak, one way is to look at him or her in handling a relationship. Like I said, ni yang paling seronok tengok, sey. In small quantities, immaturity boleh jadi cute, amusing and sweet. Excessively, it could be a tragedy and may lead a husband to betray his wife, a boyfriend five-timing his girlfriend and vice versa.

Having an elderly boyfriend teaches me so many things where maturity is concerned. Yeah, mine is the kind of man who could easily reduce me to tears with his sharp glance, or silence me with merely a word ~ a prerogative that nobody else enjoys where I am concerned but please don't tell him this, ever! Yeah, with him, tak usahlah nak buat stunt yang bukan-bukan, i.e. kalau u had a small fight while travelling in a car, janganlah nak suruh dia turunkan tepi jalan ke apa ke. Or swear using foul words, or raise your voice. Yeah, jangan cari nahas.

Trust is also another element of maturity. I, for one, do not think that constantly browsing through the mobile phone of your spouse is a healthy thing to do. Or calling your spouse every hour just to check. Or constantly texting your spouse informing about your location. Man, I don't have the energy to do that. Takde kerja nak check ni.. tapi kalau terjumpa sendiri tu lain cerita lah kan.

Bercakap pasal trust in relationship ni, sepatah kata kawan I, Yan, "Bini ke gf ke,kalau jenis kaki control dan kuat cemburu memang hari-hari kena tipu punyalah". Sebabnya, merimaskanlah orang jenis macam ni. Tapi, terlampau percaya pun tak boleh juga.. berdondang sayanglah kawan, ye tak. Jadi kenalah pandai-pandai find the right balance. That's what maturity is all about...


Tapi kalau dah melampau sangat immature, memanglah tak kuasa nak layan lagi dah. Be it in a friendship or in a relationship. Normally in this case, I would decide that we've come to the end of the line lah.. ewah macam lagu plak la kan. Tak kuasa nak layan lagi.. PENAT!

There's Something About Kimi


~ Click here to visit his official site.

~ Raikkonen The Playboy King? click here to read more.

~ Kimi was born on October 17, 1979. And his wife, Jenni Dahlman was born on October 27, 1981. Now, guess, who else was born on October 27? *wink*

I could watch this for hours...

Yes, I could watch this for hours... Hey, watch the last few seconds of his post-race interview. The one where he said "There was a small issue on the podium. Yeah, we should put it in the mouth not in the eye. Things go wrong sometimes. Anyway it has been a perfect weekend" ~ he was smiling a bit.. and he looked so GORGEOUS!

I had this one recorded in my mobile phone.. and the last thing I did before I went to sleep on Sunday night was... listening to Kimi :)

My World Champion





The Results of the Malaysian Formula One Grand Prix 2008 :

1. Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari)
2. Robert Kubica (BMW Sauber)
3. Heikki Kovalainen (McLaren Mercedes)

Felipe Massa who intially started the race from pole position got unlucky when his car spunned off the track at 31st lap, otherwise it could be a 1-2 finish for Ferrari. Well, more races to come, so best wishes to Ferrari. No worries, Felipe.

Note : the photos are quoted from various sites, so the credit goes to the original photographers.

Flowergirl


Uppps... my Mom took this sample dress at the bridal studio to determine the right size for this would-be-flowergirl. How adorable.....

@ the Bridal Studio

bila citer pasal bridal ni, sumer ni berkaitan dengan my sis, Lin.. sebab dia yang nak kawin. So lepas lunch, dalam ujan ribut tu ikut my Mom and Lin gi bridal studio. Ada discussion sikit. Wedding invitation cards dia dah nak siap. And then there's the matter of catering lah, wedding setup la.. dan segala macam benda. I ni tukang dengar dan sometimes beri pendapat, macam pasal hand bouquet dia.. color apa match baju dia.. little things la.

most of the time my mom ngan lin yang sibuk discuss. I layan tengok citer The Long Kiss kat Cinemax dengan anak owner studio tu. Then Lin plak join, best gak citer dia. Punya la lama discussion tu, sampai I naik bosan. So mula la explore studio tu....


Berkenan gak tengok design baju yang tengah, the yellow one. Cuma material dia I tak berapa suka. Pastu baju belah dalam tu ada collar, itu pun I tak berkenan. Given the right material and a little alteration, cantik jadinya. Hoho, bukan I plan sendiri punya. Saja je menyibuk tengok-tengok.

Ni lak bunga telur si Lin... bridal tu yang siapkan. Rasanya ni untuk bunga pahar kot.. entah tak tau lah... belum berpaham lagi dengan my Mom. Yang buat kat rumah aritu for majlis khatam and nikah...

Ni.. angkara terlalu lama tunggu discussion habis.. akhirnya I side parking jap atas sofa kat studio tu... hadoi... lepaknya.. gambar ni gambar tangan aku la.. si Lin yang snap..

Kenangan Terindah (for today la...)

Sebab apa I kata busy monday, sebab memang sangat busy.. and I am putting it into separate entries. Hehehehehe senang nak ingat.

Balik dari Tanjung Pelepas, actually tak terus balik rumah. Sebab dah tengahari, so aku racun my parents singgah ada satu restoran kat Bandar Baru UDA, beli briyani ahahaha. Best sey kedai dia siap ada caramel pudding. Dari situ melarat lak gi Kedai Gan, orang yang paling banyak berjasa dalam bab betulkan barang-barang elektrik rumah kita. Official supplier pun ya gak. Sebenarnya I suruh my Dad ambil TV yang dah siap kat Kedai Gan tu. Dia pun ada nak ambik barang apa ntah yang dia suruh Uncle Gan tu repair. My Mom lak lesap gi pharmacy beli ubat for my Grandma. Yipppeee! TV I dah siap!!

Kemudian my Dad tetiba ajak gi Plaza Angsana, sebab dah dekat sangat. Nak pick up something kat sana. Maka kami bertiga berarak plak gi Angsana. Kat Angsana nilah satu insiden terpenting dan kenangan terindah untuk hari ni berlaku...

I saw him again.. kebetulan terjumpa.. huhuhuhu.. dalam hati aku dah bersorak dulu. Tapi sohih memula dia tak kenal, because I didn't take my sunglasses off.. ahahaha senjata ampuh la katakan.. cara ni la paling berkesan buat surrround scan dari jarak jauh. Macam biasa I buat bodoh je, buat tak reti. Padahal dalam hati aku dah bergema gendang perang gitu... This time around dia lagi daring sey, berani keluarkan ayat-ayat flirtatious. Dah tu, nama aku, full name, dia asyik sebut banyak kali...

Relax, brader.. taulah nama aku sedap, tapi jangan sebut banyak kali. Kang sendiri susah. Almaklum, nama macam fairy tale ni, selalunya ada 'penjaga'nya.. muahahahahha. Anyway, walaupun I happy gak la terserempak ngan dia, tapi I maintain cool je. Definitely there were sparks, tapi takkan nak ilang akal,beb. I tak banyak cakap la, kalau dia tanya kekadang aku angkat kening and smile. Bangsawan la katakan muahahahhhahha...

Well, can say that I look forward to seeing him again.. best kan kalau terjumpa orang yang kita tak expect jumpa, especially kalau orang tu termasuk senarai orang-orang yang dalam perhatian ahahahahahha. See, this is one of the reasons why I consider myself as being lucky. Selalu je dapat chances macam gini.

So, relax dulu, banyak benda nak buat lagi.. nanti bila semua dah okay esok, tau lah aku nak cari pasal ehehehhehe.... Uppsss.. takleh cakap lebih-lebih... SShhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Busy Monday..

As early as 9.00 a.m., my parents and I sped off to Tanjung Pelepas for my job interview there scheduled at 9.30 a.m. Lucky the traffic was smooth, so we arrived just in time. Initially I planned to go at 8.45, abis dah diaorang pergi hantar my brother to GH for his JPA Career Exposure, terpaksalah tunggu...

Sampai sana, terus buat IQ test and English Test.. ada tiga orang lagi yang sama nak attend interview. Dua orang tu dah habis test (scheduled earlier) so I dengan Cindy lah terkial-kial buat test. Jahat betul, IQ test ada 50 questions, to be completed in 12 minutes (bapak zalim). English tu kira simple je, 40 questions (basic grammar and comprehension) tapi dibaginya time 15 minutes. Belum 15 minit I dah habis.. eeee geram tul mengenangkan IQ test yang singkat masanya.

Dah sudah tu kita berempat tunggu lah untuk ditemuduga. Sembang punya sembang, turned out the two girls tu junior I di university. Kitaorang memang tak pernah kenal, tapi apparently sama course, sama campus hehehe. Sorang tu belum sempat tanya nama, dah kena panggil interview. I cuma sempat tau nama yang sorang lagi, Shima. Tapi sempatlah kitaorang bertiga borak-borak dan gelak-gelak, citer pasal our campus. Siksa aku nak control ketawa, yalah takkan nak melarah gelak. Nama pun nak gi interview.

Lama sey, interview session. Setengah jam per session. I siap buat lawak, cakap kat Shima ngan Cindy. Kalau diaorang tanya lebih-lebih, aku nak bangun, sorong kerusi dan cakap "eh, takpalah, saya balik dululah...." I yang paling akhir sekali. Benci betul time duduk sensorang tu, banyak la staff lalu lalang tengok semacam je, macam aku ni pesalah plak. Smack kang baru tau.

My interview was quite okay. Dia banyak tanya pasal diri kita (nak suruh cakap omputeh kaedahnya) and job experiences. Tapi lama gak la, tiga orang interviewers, dua female satu male. Ahahaha bila dia tanya napa dah kejer KL nak tukar JB, I kata I nak cuba apply for job within Iskandar Development Region, nak contribute to my home state (kononnya). Lagipun dah duduk KL lama, bored. Then one interviewer said "Wow, hebat, first time I dengar orang kata KL boring".(Ehehehehhehe...dalam hati aku berkata, korang duduk nun kat pelabuhan tu, memang la KL is very appealing hehehehhe...) Then bila dia tanya ada soalan ke, I tanya la dia apakebendernya Oversea Shareholders' Statutory Audit, sebab ada dalam scope of work for that position. Dengan penuh bersemangat, orang tu pun terangkan la. Barulah beta faham.

Dah sudah interview, on the way balik, dapat lagi satu phone call. Haiya, another company kat dalam area Tanjung Pelepas tu plak panggil interview. Dia suruh beritau dia bila free. Isk isk isk. Pening kepala nih... nak kena gi sana lagi. Itu satu hal, sampai rumah dapat lak surat SPA panggil gi amik exam for 14 jawatan (aku panggil exam Geng 14) on April 5. My sis, si Lin pun dapat jugak la surat tu. Paling best masa tu my Dad ada... settle la memang kena pegi jawabnya. Isk!

IT'S A RED HOT FRONT!


I am indescribably HAPPY for the Sepang Race Qualifying Results on Saturday.

It's my Ferrari 1-2 on the grid. Felipe took the pole with my Darling Kimi right on second place. Love you guys!!!

And it's McLaren 3-4, Heiki-Lewis, but they were penalised and had to lose five grid places after stewards decided they had blocked rival drivers in the closing stages in qualifying. So both had to start at eighth and ninth place respectively (so sorry, Mr. BF and Mr. DC).

For full qualifying results click here.

Ooohh I am so gonna wear red tomorrow. It's a RED HOT WAVE!!

Love Hurts?

Tak kisahlah kalau dah pernah post lagu ni dulu :) Kenapa dengar lagu ni? Oh, memang suka, since lama dulu, especially Orchestra version. Tapi tak jumpa yang orchestra version lak. Tapi memang ada sebab kenapa dengar lagu ni tetiba. Nantilah esok-esok citer... eheheh


Love hurts, love scars,
Love wounds, and marks,
Any heart, not tough,
Or strong, enough
To take a lot of pain,
Take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts

Im young, I know,
But even so
I know a thing, or two
I learned, from you
I really learned a lot,
Really learned a lot
Love is like a flame
It burns you when its hot
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts

Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
Theyre not foolin me

I know it isnt true,
I know it isnt true
Love is just a lie,
Made to make you blue
Love hurts, ooh,ooh love hurts
Ooh,ooh love hurts

I know it isnt true,
I know it isnt true
Love is just a lie,
Made to make you blue
Love hurts,
ooh ooh love hurts
Ooh ooh love hurts

Apa Ni?

"Habis macamana skang?"

"Entah tak taulah. Lantak situ. Peduli apa."

"Itulah yang aku tak berkenan. Cakap besar. Aku tau, memang kau tak heran. Masalahnya, dia bukan tak suka. Dia suka. Suka. Reti?"

"Eh engkau ni. Nahas kalau Majority shareholder dengar tau!"

"The more shareholders, the better kan...."

"Tamak, sey engkau. Kau nak kau amiklah..."

"Kau degil... esok apa-apa hal padan muka".

"Aku tak kisah, sey. Kalau dia suka sangat, go ahead. Ambiklah. Nak sangat, haaa pergi-pergi! Takde hal punya. Dia pun tak peduli".

"Eleh, tak peduli konon.... tak jeles?"

"Kalau jealous pun dia bukan peduli....."

Best Wishes to Ferrari

Pity my Ferrari team during the Australian F1 GP last weekend. Kimi only got to finish at 8th place, while Felipe had to retire due to a collission with DC.

But that's okay. More races to come for the 2008 season.

And definitely, my very Best Wishes to Kimi and Felipe for Sepang Race this weekend!

They helped, too...

entry ni sebenarnya related to the previous one, i.e Production House. Bakal-bakal pengantin ni pun sama tolong sudahkan bunga - bunga telur ni... (kes i malas nak sambung kat entry tadi la ni eheh).

Production House

Ingat tak, dulu-dulu ada citer pasal ikat ribbon kat bunga telur? A few weeks back, my aunt ada ajar kitaorang cara-cara nak pasang flower sepal, daun dengan sarung letak telur pada tangkai bunga telur tu. Kemudian dia bagi sekotak bunga telur yang dah diikat pada tangkai. Jadi kerja kitaorang ialah continue pasang benda-benda tu lah... last sekali baru ikatkan ribbon...


kuntum-kuntum bunga yang dah siap berikat pada tangkai...

close-up


maka kita pun pasangkan sepal dia, tidy it with a green tape. ni antara step yang paling tidak digemari... susah sangat nak bagi dia betul-betul lekat pada kuntum bunga. kekadang siap terlepas daripada green tape tu.. eeeee...



then bila dah lepas azab lekatkan sepal, kita teruskan kerja-kerja perlilitan green tape... (perlilitan, NOT perhilitan, okay)



kemudian kita letak daun dan lilitkan green tape, nak bagi daun tu lekat pada tangkai bunga. ni ialah satu step yang paling digemari, sebab amat senang dan tak banyak olah...

teruskan melilit, tapi jangan laju sangat...

sebab tak lama lepas tu kita akan sampai ke step yang paling azab, iaitu mengikat sarung letak telur. Azab, sebab dawai tu degil, payah betul nak ikat ketat-ketat supaya sarung tu tak bergerak. Dawai tu bukan panjang pun, kemudian kalau guna plier untuk matikan ikatan dawai tu, kalau tak pandai boleh putus dawai tu... so terpaksa la ikat dengan tangan... susah, mau berkali-kali ikat... (*&*()%$#^&+-X!!!!!!) Kemudian bila dah finally berjaya ikat, lilit lagi dengan green tape sampai hujung tangkai bunga tu. Seronok dia bila dah lepas azab ikat sarung letak telur tu, sukar digambarkan dengan perkataan :D .

So, nilah rupanya, setelah diikatkan ribbon.. macam dalam entry yang dulu tu ler...

Sekarang ni, bunga-bunga telur ni semuanya dah siap, ada dalam 400 lebih gitu.. so dah tak ada buat lagilah. Kiranya cepatlah siap, sebab my three sisters pun sama-sama buat. Lepas ni Production House kita berlima boleh focus pula pada kerja-kerja lain, kaedahnya hehehe...

It's Winter... Again...

I am in front of my computer, working out the guestlist for my sister's wedding.. and hey I do not switch the fan on... dan tak rasa panas sikit pun. Which is very unusual.

Everyone, it's winter - again - in Johor Bahru. No kidding, nak pijak lantai pun sejuk, dua tapak tangan ni kalau bersentuh pun sejuk bukan main. Seriously NO KIDDING!

Sejuk, sejuk, sejuk, dan sejuk, dan lagi, dan seterusnya sejuk... JUK!

PRU 12 : Kempen Bersihkan "Kesan-Kesan Kempen"

Sebagai rakyat kecil yang bukan siapa-siapa, saya merayu dan menyeru kepada ahli-ahli semua parti terutama yang terlibat secara aktif, dan juga yang tidak aktif dalam berkempen untuk pilihanraya, agar membersihkan segala barangan dan kesan-kesan kempen bagi Pilihanraya Umum Ke 12 baru-baru ini.

It has become a really eyesoring sight, especially during this rainy season. Kalau kain rentang dan sepanduk tu, dah tak tahu rupa apa dah, dengan bergulung ditiup angin, dan dengan basahnya lagi. Ada juga poster yang terkoyak-koyak di dinding kawasan umum, menyakitkan mata dan hati.

Waktu nak berkempen dulu pandai pasang, yang ada tinggi-tinggi bukan main, in between dua batang pokok kelapa sawit yang tinggi sayup tu pun boleh rentang bendera besar kan... (baru petang tadi nampak kat area Lima Kedai, on my way back from Nusajaya). Haa, skarang takkan tak pandai turunkan pulak... turunkanlah, boleh naikkan mesti boleh turunkan.

Niat berkempen tu memang bagus dan baik, tapi bila dah jadi macam gini ish ish... elok-elok dinding, jalan, tiang-tiang lampu dan pokok-pokok yang tak berdosa tu cantik je dipandang, skang dah jadi flagpost tak rasmi... kalau lawa takpe. Pilihanraya dah habis, yang menang dah menang, yang kalah dah blah, MB pun dah dilantik, Exco line-up pun dah buat....bendera, sepanduk, kain rentang dll bila nak kemas???

After Having A Bad Or Good Dream...

I was trying to update My Jedi Realm and was surfing the Internet when I came across this very informative and interesting site called Search in the Quran and Hadith.

The site content - really incredible. From Al-Quran Auto Reciter to various Du'as and so many downloadable Islamic related stuffs. And here's one for everybody :-


Prophet (SAW)'s Prayers

After having a nightmare

Upon having a nightmare, recite:


أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ غَضَبِهِ وَعِقَابِهِ وَشَرِّ عِبَادِهِ وَمِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَأَنْ يَحْضُرُونَ

With the total words of Allah, I seek protection from His wrath, from His punishment and from the servants evil and from the whispers of Satan and I seek protection from (these) coming to me.(Hisnul Hasin)

On having a good dream, recite:

"Alhamdulillah" and relate it to an intimate companion of understanding (So that the companion does not interpret the dream badly).

If a person has a bad dream, then spit three times over the left shoulder and turn to the other side or stand up to perform Salaat reciting the following dua three times:

أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ هَذِهِ الرُّؤْيَا

"I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan and from the evil of this dream. "The dream will not cause any harm. (Misjkat, Hisnul Hasin)

It is a great sin to conjure a false dream and narrate it.(Bukhari)

Vote Wisely (Undilah Dengan Bijaksana)

I entered my poll centre at Sekolah Menengah Tasek Utara at about 8:30 a.m. yesterday and finished the task by 8:40 a.m. (My original plan was to go at 7:45 so that I can vote at 8:00 but that didn't happen).

And my Parliamentary and DUN's results were the first to be announced for Johor State (dengan bangganya heheheheh). It's Parlimen Pulai and DUN Pengkalan Rinting, won by Barisan Nasional. The Candidates for BN are Dato' Nur Jazlan Mohamed (Pulai MP) and Mr. Chia Song Cheng (DUN Pengkalan Rinting).

Vote Wisely - this being my choice of slogan for the election. Doesn't matter who you are voting or from which party, but you must choose wisely. Bukan simply ikut-ikut or dengar-dengar cakap orang or anything. Because different people have different priorities. Or frustration. You have every single right to determine your future. What's more, for each state, kekuatan sesebuah parti adalah berlainan. Some candidates from let's say Party A, are really good in Johor State but some candidates from the same party in other states are really hampeh.

So, like I said, vote wisely. Not membuta tuli.

And why I don't like these slogans? Because...

Vote For Malaysia ~ hey, it's MALAYSIAN 12th General Election. Vote untuk siapa kalau tidak for Malaysia? LAME!

Vote For The Future ~ Hello, ever heard of anyone voting for the past?????

Lain kali nak buat slogan tu, fikirlah sikit. It's different if you say Vote For A Better Malaysia, or Vote For A Promising Future. Kan?

My Dream Home

IMPORTANT : Kalau baca entry ni, absorb sekali lagu Kenny Loggins 'For The First Time' ni dalam hati. It's one of His favourites, by the way. Sebab, this so-called dream home of mine ni sangat romantic surroundingnya, so kena ada background music, :) .

A few days ago I went to visit the place I so affectionately called "my dream home" with my two sisters. I was not supposed to take any photos so ni semua kira curik-curik la. And because we were using our camera phones, so gambarnya memang tak berapa clear.

the road leading to my dream home :)

no, i haven't visited this one... maybe esok-esok ke...

the teeny tiny pond outside the house.. CUTE!
cuma ada kayu menyibuk je kat situ... hmm..


the wall art at the hall... believe it or not we did not snap the photo of the beautiful hall... rugi rugi! sebab masa tu lupa diri sekejap... isk isk isk

ni pun suka... ahahahah patutnya ambik gambar room spaces, length and width..

room ni kat tingkat bawah.. i figure it must be the guest room la.. opposite dining area..

the kitchen.. simple je.. just that the kitchen area is a bit small. macam tak cukup space je.

and there's a door leading to a.. i don't know a garden at the back, maybe? lupa nak bukak.

this could be the servant's bedroom.. right next to the kitchen...really very small, this one.


staircase....


the landing area upstairs... perfect for lepak-lepak...sembang-sembang.. merapu-ruppa... :D

complete with sliding door..best apa ambik angin malam... with a mug of hot nescafe...

not sure whether this is the second or third room.. lupa nak amik gambar the other room... dua-dua cantik... cozy... rasa nak tidurrrr je masuk this room...

and... tadaaaaaa! my favourite one.. the Master Bedroom.. so cozy, nice and very inviting gitu.. sudahlah gambar ni pun blur.. macam ada dreamlike qualities gitu.. imagine sleeping here, on top of the hills, sejuk pastu pasang lak lagu For The First Time ni. Mahu tak bangun pagi dibuatnya..

imagine, lepak kat sini.. lazily.. while watching DVD or reading mag... so comfortable..

the other side of the Master Bedroom.. macam study table gitu... but a simple one, apparently..


but I do think that this is rather too small for a Master Bedroom

The credit also goes to my sister, Lin, who snapped most of the beautiful photos here. My camera tak dapat banyak sebab memory dah tinggal sikit.
