*LOL*. It’s really been quite some time since I last updated this thing. So many things happened for the past couple of months: 

Some teaser for you:

Honestly, I was all psyched about the Department Bowling Tournament, and guess what?

I actually P.R.A.C.T.I.C.ED!!!

So after satisfactory rounds of multiple strikes and a few spares (I dare not say the accurate no.)

…

8.30 p.m. sharp!!!

We arrived and had some test runs!

..okay, not exactly 8.30p.m. sharp, but oh well, like I said earlier, I was psyched!!

It was really an awesome tournament, and believe me, I would do this again and again! Bowling used to be that one sports game that I swore I’d never play, but after a couple of tries and coaching, I think the game is not so bad after all!

Thanks guys, for counting me in this superb event! I’m looking forward to more fun time together with you!

The Happy Faces!

More pictures coming up soon!

yeay~ it’s the end of GEMS!!! at last!!!

GEMS PTG03 Grand Dinner

Theme: 60’s Twist

What I like the most about it: DECORATION

What I hate the most about it: I didn’t get to eat!!! (coz I’m the technical crew)

The overall outcome: Satisfying!!!

Me & housemate, Zura

Me & the rest of the remaining housemates (Ana, Embun, Nasirah, Baiti) + Ateh

At the end of the closing, I got an offer letter to do internship at PROTON!!!Dalam hati: “Syukur alhamdulillah. Puas hati aku.”

Salam Eidulfitr buat semua, dia mana juga anda berada!!! Kupohon ampun dan maaf, apa juga kesalahan, kekhilafan, kejahilan, kedegilan, kenakalan mahupun kezalimanku sepanjang perkenalan. Semoga Ramadhan yang berlalu membuka hati kita semua untuk terus beribadat dengan penuh istiqamah. Amiin.

For those who are travelling to kampung, and back home, have a safe journey and may Allah SWT lindungi semuanya dan permudahkan perjalanan serta urusan kita semua. Amiin.

Have a fun Hari Raya with your loved ones!! Take a lot of pictures and do upload them for all to see!!!

To all my friends, sudilah datang ke rumah saya untuk beraya! InsyaAllah, on weekends I will be at home – by 29th Sept I will be attending GEMS program until 5th Dec or until a job offer comes in. Let’s go visit houses together beramai-ramai dan meriahkan Syawal tahun ini!!!

Lemang, ketupat jadi santapan,

Di pagi Syawal yang indah berseri,

Ampun dan maaf, salam dihulurkan,

Semoga silaturrahim kekal abadi.

Last weekend was the weekend of all UTP Graduates. We had fun and totally enjoyed ourselves throughout the 5-day meet-ups. Thursday arrived in UTP to settle out our accommodation in the hostel. Risky task, coz the vacancy was so limited, yet the reservation system was, well, non-existing. Thursday we claimed our robes and mortarboards, made our tour around the campus, “reminiscing” nostalgic moments all the way.

Friday was rehearsal day. I fell on my bum while getting a seat at the Chancellor Hall. Embarassing!!! But not many to observe the humilliation (thank GOD!). I blamed it on my new shoes! They hurt my ankle and the bruises can still be seen until today. Look! (pointing to my poor legs)

Saturday, I waited for my family to arrive from Kuala Lumpur and we had our visit to the simplest Convofair I’ve ever lived for. Not much to talk about the fair, since I’ve seen/gone through better ones. It’s the dirty Influenza which down-graded the whole fun!! Everyone was wearing those suffocating masks all weekend! Evening arrived, my family checked into a hotel in Ipoh while my friends and I prepared ourselves for a formal dinner with Tun Chancellor. We had fun of our own, despite the very high protocol ocassion. That night, I went back to my family and squeezed in between my mother and sister in bed.

Sunday was the big day. Arrived in UTP in red, my family, friends and I made our way for touch-ups and the graduates lined up. It’s rather a long procedure, the whole line up thing. However, I missed checking up on my footprints I’ve stamped on the academic floor some 5 years ago!! Too excited to check on it, I guess!! Argh~

All ended up well on Sunday, family went to Lumut to stay another night before heading back home. Monday was a very busy day. Upon returning the robes and claiming the certs, we waved goodbye to friends we have yet to wonder when the next meeting would be. We waved farewell to UTP, the roads and buildings we used to conquer for half a decade. The trip to Ipoh felt like it was the last too. But with the most unwanted memory EVER!!! We had to wait for our Convocation pictures from the photo shop. Not surprisingly, it was a long wait. With all the stupid ugly misprinting process and the long “queue”. My friends and I (Zety, Haq & me) arrived home at 9pm after waiting in the shop from 1.30pm till almost 5pm!! Curse the shop!!

Oh well, I am now officially a Mechanical Engineering Graduate with no job, nor hints of employment. Nothing from my Education Sponsor. No news at all except a regret email reply from the Human Resource which I received over a month after the interview. Oh well again, not much to my surprise. I was all neutral on that day, so no tears were produced. Only a little bit of frustration from the heart. A free little bird I am now, but with hesitations and without a clue of where and how to get through life for at least another decade. I’ve wondered while submitting resumes for a few days now: whether I should really pursue the career I’m qualified for, or to develop my skills in something I would wake up to with a smile every morning. It’s a thought that’s been haunting me a few nights now. I’m hoping this month of Ramadhan will brighten up my path, to where the “Light of the Best Choice” is. InsyaAllah.

today, it’s been more than a month since we left utp. a place where i first learn how to cherish, love, live and leave. it’s where i learn a lot. something beyond engineering or technology. making friends, loving and disliking. gossips and disgusts. we’ve been through a lot. dear friends, i love you people a lot, and i know korg pun sure sayang gile kat aku kan2? ehee.. we had a lot of fun getting into and out of troubleS. we had crazy laughters and shed our tears together. but towards the end of the time we had together, not everthing we planned had gone the way we wanted. it was a tragic, very hard and tough for all of us. but we managed to pull it through. we managed to finish what we’ve started. it’s a whole new life for us from now on.. but dear friends i hope.. and i really wish.. that we’re going to be together forever. always hanging on tight and always be there for each other. we’ll keep in touch, we’ll meet up, we’ll talk, we’ll travel (again). and most importantly, we love each other forever. no matter how much we miss the whole lot, we’ll try to always make ourselves available to get together.things i’ll miss always and forever after the years we leave behind:

1. gather in a room ramai2 (now baru realize how byk 10 ppl actually was) and make noises, gelak tawa, gelak sampai guling2…

2. selamba tido kat bilik org lain mcm katil tu sndiri punya (katil aku x ketinggalan gak jadik port org tido)

3. stay up smpai lewat mlm n pegi mapley ramai2

4. tgk muvi/video same2 ramai2 dlm satu bilik (damn i miss this the most.. korg pun tau kat bilik sape.. ) pstu tgk v.clips korea, terikut2 dance mcm wonder girls laa.. huhu.. bejangkit2~

5. mkn malam same2 ramai2… (semester akhir agak jarang wat camni, tapi aku sangat suke bile kte sume g mkn mlm ramai2 same2)

6. plan treasure hunt mcm huge konspirasi ape jek.. siyes mcm mafia nk menang punye pasal.. haha… and yeah, last year bejaya gak bolot prices kan2?

7. jln2 ipoh.. g muvi… n most importantly, makan!!!

8. berangan nk wat mcm2 during final year and… haha… ok laa.. most of kte nye brangan2 jadik kan.. especially genting highlands, futsal..

9. our gossip vault~ ehee.. siyes gossip vault kte nih.. sume gossip pun cam tau jek.. n x lepas jugak dr jd bahan gossip~

10. gelagat sume org~!!! we have all different characters, dgn habit yg same – kuat makan & banyak cakap.

though we’ve lost a life of the party, we’re still great together kn? aku rindu the complete team. i know all of us do. aku rase convo tahun ni msti sangat sayu kan? msti kte akan terasa kehilangan tu sgt2 kan? after this:

1. separate living – dh x under one roof dh.. xde la menatap muke korg jek 24 jam

2. keje – sume sure sibuk ngan kerjaya dh pasni.. lain2 tmpt keje.. dh ade rakan2 pejabat baru.. harap2 korg x lupe angan2 kte nk g travel same2 keh? mane? korea?

3. get married – come on weyh, our bet is still on (anna ke naimah dulu?) eheheee

4. ade familly sendiri – time ni, hopefully ade la lagi misi get together..

whatever it is, our memories together, will be kept safe inside my heart. i will never forget my times in utp.. knowing korg sume.. suka duka, berbaik2, begado2.. sume ni only bring us together.. we’ve known each other way too much, inside out.. our presence in each other’s life made us always believe that we are not alone.. we’ve made each other’s life brighter..

brighter than sunshine…

here’s a song that i really love, for u girls – you have stolen my heart

“seperti obor yang memberi cahaya
kau menerangi alam semesta
bagaikan intan bersinar nyata
di mana sahaja engkau berada”

biar dunia dalam kemarau
akanku gadaikan titisan air mataku
biar merekah bumi sekalipun
akanku tadah tubuhku mengalas dirimu
biar langit menyambarkan petir
akanku gadaikan diriku melindungimu

bila ketulusan hatiku ini hanya sia-sia
ketahuilah tiada sesalan walau secebis tercetus

kasih seorang kekasih, tiada batasan. kasih seorang ibu, tiada mengharapkan balasan.

at first our family had some trouble to decide whether we should go down south for a holiday when ucu kept calling and asking us to visit. then last week happened. it was a boring saturday, and i had nothing better to do than sat on my bed typing and browsing away on the laptop. after isyak, ibu received a phone call from achik. it was harry. he was rushed to the emergency room in melaka. road accident. our family was just about to have dinner at restoran tanjung, ss14. i started asking stuffs about harry. ibu said he was unconscious. that sounds bad to me. emergency room, unconscious. as we were talking during dinner, the worse news came. harry could not be saved. silence. ibu cried. kakak and i began calling our relatives to spread the news. i was in shock. one of my cousins passed away. that never happened to me before. and the saddest part is, he lived his life hard. ibu said to me that God loves him more and i felt the same way too. ibu decided we take off to johor bahru for the funeral on the next day. that night, i could not sleep. i texted harry’s sister who is the same age as me. i felt sorry for her. i did not dare to call because all we would do is cry on the line. so i just texted her to be patient and recite al-fatihah for her late little brother. the day was gloomy as we waited for the jenazah to arrive home for the funeral. tears of sadness filled the eyes of the family members. bodies trembled, eyes cried, partly disapproving the lost. it was a tragic accident, his friends told us the first night we had kenduri arwah. they were on the way back from kl in a convoy of 20 riders. it happened around 8pm when harry’s motorcycle tripped on a stick. he was thrown away to the middle of the highway and an mpv dragged him by the helmet for about 100 meters away. that was the cause of his death. the helmet he wore grinded the back of his neck. i could see the sadness and regret in his friends’ eyes. to lost someone you call a friend, who had been around you for years of growing up, be there for you when the rest of the world is against your thought. his pretty girlfriend showed up the night after. she too, looked miserable. the only thing left for the rest of us to do is pray for his peace. may Allah bless his soul and reward him a place in heaven. aamiiin.

so eventually, our family had to go south and meet the johorians. we had multiple check ins and check outs to various homes of our relatives who insisted us to spend nights at their place alternately. i did not bring enough clothes for the week stay in johor bahru. so i had to make an effort to put my clothes in the laundry machines day after day. i even borrowed ibu’s and kakak’s t-shirts once in a while. kenduri arwah was held three nights in a row, and a week after. on saturday ucu’s family brought us to tanjung piai for a change of atmosphere. since i left ali at home (duh~ who brings a camera to a funeral?), i used ibu’s nokia n95 for all the pictures i captured in jb.

2008 ended in tragic, but 2009 opens a new episode

ooh.. suddenly for the past few months all i heard were bout weddings and marriage~ i guess this is the time when everyone is growing up and getting a step ahead into marriage life. the most excited ones are the mothers, makciks, and the kakak2.. months before the marriage, these people would go wedding shopping at boutiques, florists, yada-yada-yada..

marriage and weddings are exciting, really.. but i am totally clueless bout all the preparations. which colour theme.. how’s the pelamin.. the other day went to alinas at jalan tar, there’s one uncle who showed all his works with setting up the pelamin, adviced what kind of baju perantin to wear, etc. and i was like “uhh…” – and shuts off. the only thing i could come up with when tagging along at ssf was “ayah, kang kite dinner kat uptown nk?”. woooo~ to me all these are scary~ super scary!!! i know mine would be years away, but big events, big changes, big responsibilities. man, i think i should really grow up by 2010.

so who are those just married couples? congrats to fauwaz’s sister and hubby, ajwad and yani, shasha and hubby… all the best in life to those getting married soon: kak kat and future hubby, abg and kak eta, abg alang and future wife, dede and dian… the rest which i missed, congrats and may you couples live happily ever after.. aww.. just like in those fairy tales..

like kakak stated in her friendster profile, “life is a journey”. so we travel as far as we could, as long as our heart is beating. how we get to the destination, is just a story for us to live with. the destination is not the finish line, but just another pit stop that keeps on growing in numbers. we meet, we depart. we love, we cherish. we hope, we survive.

ade juga serpihan-serpihan mula ditempiaskan kepadaku. “adik, what colour do you want for your wedding nanti?”, “adik, awak dah jumpa ke anak raja tu?”, “adik, you got boyfriend already, ah?”, “adik, kawan ibu yg nama *dirahsiakan* tanya awak dan ade boyfriend ke belum”.. but thanks ucu, i love your advice the most: “adik, nanti nak cari boyfriend, cari yang tough macam atuk tu” sambil tunjuk ke arah…

“ye ucu, mmg tough giler… tp… takkan laaa…”

im not a big fan of cooking, but sometimes i enjoy making a huge mess in ibu’s kitchen and get all the leteran from kakak to clean up afterwards. it’s a hobby i love because without all the leteran n bising, this house is just too quiet and boring.. eheheee..

last weekend we had makan2 at our house, with ucu’s family, achik dan anak2nya, shah dan kakaknye.. i made italian beef casserole and victoria sandwich cake as dessert, while kakak did her stuff with the daging and ayam for panggang2..

italian beef casserole:

daging cincang

godek2 bahan2 dalam pot

ok it didnt look so yummy, but hey, it’s my 1st try! hehe.. btw, for better outcome, better use shreded cheddar cheese instead of laying down the sliced ones on top

victoria sandwich cake:

sory xde gamba sbb it’s too horrible~ hahaha~ it’s really easy.. mix up 4 oz. of soft margerine with equal parts of castor sugar, beat till creamy, then put in 4oz. of self raising flour, a bit of baking powder, 2 eggs, some vanilla essence, and bake in the microwave oven, set to high, for 4-4 and a half minutes. dh siap, test2, dh masak, let it cool. then cut the cake into half horizontally, tepek2 blueberry jam, topped with whipped cream, sandwich the cake together. finally, sprinkle some icing sugar on top and voila~ siap da sandwich cake.. it’s called the 4-minute-cake by my kakak.
