Me : Hopefully..
Me two : Eh. Daripada kau doa mintak untuk dapat apa yang kau nak, kan lagi elok kau mintak untuk yang terbaik?
Me : Tapi aku nak yang tuuuu jugak.
Me two : Degilnya.

Solution.., mintak supaya apa yang kita NAK tu jadi yang terbaik. Eh..?

Our recent 3 days 2 nights trip for the Chinese New Year holiday.

To Johor, visiting old friends and relatives there, and to Universal Studio Singapore.

Tickle your taste buds!

Singapore: The Fine City.

Transformers 3D ride. Out of this world!

Battlestar Galactica: Human & Cylon

The tallest dueling roller-coaster in the world.
Reached till 140 ft. in the air, with maximum speed of 90 km/h.
I rode this baby for 3 times, twice for Cylon and once for Human, and at every launch I never fail to think, "Sia-sia je kalau aku tercampak keluar daripada track and mati naik benda alah ni."
But it was extreeeeeemely fun, heheheh

Revenge of the Mummy: the indoor roller coaster.

Although the max speed is only 72 km/h, but it was ultimately scary because of its pitch-black condition and there were a few surprise appearances by the mummies. hooo

*masa ni tudung tengah selekeh sebab baru turun daripada Battlestar Galactica :p

Shrek!

In the Premier of Monster Rock Theater.

New York Public Library

Street performances

These two photos actually made me burst into singing,

"Take me on a trip I'd like to go someday.

Take me to New York. I'd like to see L.A.

I really want to, come kick it with you.. . ."

Al-Abrar Mosque, located along the Teluk Ayer Street. Chinatown.

One of the earliest mosques in Singapore.

Singapore's Skypark. Simply beautiful.

..and here's a view of the Skypark from below.

Siblings!

Le undeniably awesome parents ♥

Tak banyak sangat gambar kot, heh. We were too busy living the fun instead of capturing everything in films :)

Aizat and I are planning to come back here to Universal Studio for our honeymoon respectively. HAHAHAHAHAH (oh, hai Aizat's future-wife who-is-currently-reading-this, hehehehe)

Happy

2012-01-20T10:46:00.000+08:00

When you're happy, everything will go your way. Seriously. heh. Oh wait. Or maybe because you're just too happy that even if things don't go as you expected, you won't be bothered..?

;)

After staying at home for 3 days of moping around and doing absolutely nothing useful, i decided to go out yesterday. Run a few errands. Tu pun selepas kena marah dengan ibu pagi tu before she goes off to the airport "Kakngah. I tried to be understanding about your situation here, but please. It has been three days already. Get a grip." haih, moms and their words eh.

So i set myself on to my Happy mood, and off i go.

Three things in my list:

Attain a certification from UM for my borang bantuan pelajar.
Groceries shopping.
Get home in time to prepare dinner.

Saya sangat tidak suka bila terpaksa berurusan dengan orang kerajaan. Cara (most of them) mereka bekerja sangat relax dan malas dan inefficient -.- Therefore, I ended up being in UM for about 2 hours just to attain that one simple stamp and signature!

Tapi takpa, orang happy tak kesaaah.

Dan sempena chinese new year yang semakin hampir, federal highway jadi lebih sesak daripada biasa. A trip from home to UM that'll usually cost me 30 minutes is doubled. Pergi balik, dah 2 jam duduk dalam kereta sahaja. Wah

Tapi takpa, stuck in jam? Like i said, orang happy tak kesaaah.

Kesian jugak kat ferrari tu. Whats the use of having a car that could speed up to 200 km/h but got stuck in jam anyway.

For lunch, i decided to give a treat to myself. Mcdonalds yeay! The McD in SS14 PJ is veryyy busy, you'll be extremely lucky to get a parking spot there. Takde drive-thru pulak tu. And guess what? Because of my happy-ness (and maybe a little selfishness?), dengan selambanya i parked my car exactly right in front of the mcD, muahahahah! Naik atas pavement >:]

Ala, sekejap je pun. Take-away, not dine-in. So, okaaay lah kan.

And then, while eating my McChicken and being stuck in the looooong line on a traffic light, i saw an advertisement;

Terus tersengih sorang-sorang dalam kereta terkenangkan my dear expensive "handbag". Tengah ada discount tu. hahaha

Then i shopped for some groceries at Mydin, and alhamdulillah managed to get home by asar.

What did i make for our dinner? hehehehehehehehehehhehehehehehehhehehehehehehehe (the purposedly lengthy hehe is to indicate a suspicion here) Since somebody sort of challenged me to make an Ayam Masak Merah dish the other day, i shall dedicate this to youuu.

My plate : )

Plus sayur su'un and pucuk (betul ke nama dia tu?) as side-dish. For a first-timer, i personally think i did a pretty excellent job. *hugs myself*

Moral of this post? Set your mood right. Because when you're happy, you won't mind being extra rajin and doing extra chores and trust me, things will your way, insyaAllah.

It's the thought that counts

2012-01-17T19:27:00.000+08:00

11.30 pm. Everybody else was asleep, while i was alone downstairs filling in some forms... when i heard my cat miow-ing outside.

But once i went over and opened the sliding-door, she just stayed there. Stopped miow-ing and just stared at me. Pelik. Usually the reason why she'd miow was because she wants to get into the house. And then, thats when i noticed there's something else beside her.

Oobey brought a present for me! :D

Walaupun i tak boleh nak makan atau simpan atau main, i'm sure she went into a lot of trouble to get me that huuuge mouse. ♥

Resisting the sweetness

2012-01-15T01:31:00.002+08:00

I tried finding the most horrible and terrifying photo of a foot ready to be cut-off, just so my dear readers can get the aura here. hehe

---------

You love sugar, because of its sweetness. You like tasting its sweetness on your tongue. You like it sooo much, so you consume more and more everyday. Results in? Diabetes.

Diabetes is of course, a sickness. And for the purpose of exaggeration here, the diabetes will later lead you to gangrene. What is gangrene? There. In the photo is gangrene. Where, the last resort for it, is to amputate the foot off.

What am i trying to say here?

Well.. This story started when somebody came for an advice from me last thursday. The conversation started with a simple, "Do you have any exam today?" When i said no, the reply i got was, "Good. I need your advice."

His issue was, he fell for this one girl after getting to know her about 2 weeks ago. He said he wanted to make it right this time, that he didn't want this relationship to end badly just like the previous ones. So he asked me the million dollar question,

"What should i do?"

I first suggested him to go see her parents. Get it right with the parents first. He said he had been thinking about this too, but (and i quote), "I am still a student. I am not capable enough to get engaged to/ marry her."

Okay then. So I suggested the second option. I started my advice simply with,

If you want to achieve something that you have never achieved before,

then you should do something that you have never done before.

I told him to stop having lunches and dinners with her. Stop BBM-ing with her too often. Stop seeing her around campus. Stop talking to her on the phone for hours. Stop doing whatever he did in the previous relationships, where he knows how it ended. Stop. The main point is, stop.

..if he wants this one to end happily ever after in a marriage, that is.

Maintain a safe distance with her.

She's the sugar here, and i understand that it is completely normal for him to like her so much. But you see, after consuming too much of her sweetness, he will eventually get "diabetes". That weird feeling in the heart, where you find yourself thinking about her almost in every minute of your every hour of your every single day. Or, some people call it love. hehe

And what happens when a diabetic person still continues to consume excessive sugar? Gangrene! But now that it's too late, when the disease has already eaten a part of him, the only solution is to go through a little pain in getting rid of the infected foot (thus stopping it from spreading moooore) and stop consuming too much sugar after that.

But hey. The good news is that, he doesn't have to cut off his foot, and he doesn't have diabetes for real. So he doesn't have to control his intake dosage of her sweetness forever!! Just until he finds enough 'capabilities' to get himself insulin!

insulin = marry her, hohoho

the infamous insulin jab nowadays, heh

Kan? Because logically... Having a hubungan yang berkat sebelum kahwin will definitely promise a berkat marriage too, insyaAllah.

Apa i merepek ni. Macam mengarut je perbandingan diabetes-gangrene-insulin bagai yang i buat ni, haih -__- Okay, biar je lah. Anyway.. I know, cakap memang senang. Bagi nasihat kat orang lagiii senang. heh. Alright now, let's implement this. Shall we.

ps. Long posts such as this, indicates that i am on my holiday now. WEEEE

Marriage Fund

2012-01-08T11:10:00.001+08:00

He had been together with her since they were 15.

This girl was so special to him, that even at such an early age, he had started saving up to marry her. Put aside all of his spare change from his allowances into, as what he calls it, their "Marriage Fund". It wasn't that he was planning to do a grand wedding or anything, but he just thought, it is never too early to start saving up for the future.

3 and a half years later, they broke up. By that time, he had already managed to accumulate about RM5,300 in his Maybank. (pretty impressive for a teenage!)

A few days later, he whatsapp-ed the girl on her iPhone.

Her: Heyy. Since when do you have whatsapp?
Him: Since i bought myself a Blackberry.
Her: Oh.
Him: Well.. you know, i have some extra money lying around, so i figured, why not.
Her: Extra money?
Him: My marriage fund.

This is by far, the coolest way to let someone know that "I'm over you." hahaha

What is this?

2012-01-04T11:02:00.000+08:00

This is Love.

And so there are some who spend their whole lives seeking. Sometimes giving, sometimes taking. Sometimes chasing. But often, just waiting.

They believe that love is a place that you get to: a destination at the end of a long road. And they can’t wait for that road to end at their destination. They are those hearts moved by the movement of hearts. Those hopeless romantics, the sucker for a love story, or any sincere expression of true devotion. For them, the search is almost a lifelong obsession of sorts. But, this tragic ‘quest’ can have its costs—and its’ gifts.

That image of human love that you seek is an illusion in the desert of life. So if that is what you seek, you’ll keep chasing. But no matter how close you get to a mirage, you never touch it. You don’t own an image. You can’t hold a creation of your own mind.

Yet, you will give your whole life, still, to reaching this ‘place’. You do this because in the fairy tale, that’s where the story ends. It ends at the finding, the joining, the wedding. It is found at the oneness of two souls. And everyone around you will make you think that your path ends there: at the place where you meet your soul mate, your other half—at the point in the path where you get married. Then and only then, they tell you, will you ever finally be complete. This, of course, is a lie because completion cannot be found in anything other than God.

But the lesson you’ve been taught since the time you were little—from every story, every song, every movie, every ad, every well-meaning auntie—is that you aren’t complete otherwise. And if... . .

"I think i've probably come to the stage in life where i don't treat every new year as a new beginning. For me, they are merely just the number of years i had the privilege to attend, before my life ends. Life goes on just like the usual."

Exams. A great way to start the new year, indeed.

4th

2011-12-28T12:38:00.000+08:00

Yeah. I dont really celebrate birthdays, but my dear dinkysaurus is an exception :)

How much things have changed in one year eh. Last year, i 'celebrated' by posting an entry, where after being all emo and sad and wishing i had never got involved in blogging, i ended the post with,

"Happy birthday dinkysaurus.

Please, enjoy this one. Because it might be your last."

Sangat tak matang, hahahaha!

But today, i am honestly glad that i didn't quit writing :]

I personally think that i've changed a lot ever since i started writing. I have gotten a few complaints from anonymousss, saying that i "dont produce quality and long-long entries anymore like the good old days". But hey, if you're judging the 'quality' posts as the ones where i rant about useless stuff and main tulis je apa i suka tanpa guna otak and end up hurting some people's feelings with that, sorry i dont do that anymore.

I'm more careful of what i say nowadays. I am a responsible person now.

haha ceh.

Ok dah la ni. Sebenarnya cuma nak bagitau, blog ni dah tua. Tu je. And my final exam is around the corner.

January 2012,
5th -- Information skills
6th -- Introduction to valuation
9th -- Principles to economics
10th -- Legal studies
13th -- Accounting and financial management

See? Ar-ound-the-cor-ner.

BBM

2011-12-15T23:58:00.002+08:00

"Kakngah, tadi ayah rasa ayah dengar phone kakngah bunyi. Ada BBM kot," kata ayah.

"Oh woww. Ayah tahu apa 'BBM'??" aku kagum sikit. Sambil tu mula melangkah ke arah meja di mana terletaknya phone ku untuk check whatever notification i just recieved tadi.

"Err. Tau laa. BlackBerry Messenger."

"Wah! Okay, 'YM' pulak apa?" aku mula menguji. Phone ku letak tepi. BBM yang aku terima tadi tak semenarik perbualan dengan ayah.

"Yahoo Messenger," ayah jawab dengan pantas.

"Hohoho okay, i'm impressed! So how about 'GnRH'?" aku bertanya lagi.

"GnRH? Entah.. Apa tu?" ayah dah confused.

"Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone. hahahahahaha!"

Dengan muka bengang je, ayah jawab, "Ayah belum cukup tua lagi, kakngah dah perbodohkan ayah camni kann..."

Gurau okay :D

My dear expensive one

2011-12-12T23:42:00.004+08:00

Imagine this:

You've always wanted to own that one mega expensive rare handbag. You want it sooo badly, that sometimes you are convinced that once you get that handbag in possession, your life would be complete. Now the only thing standing between you and the handbag is the price.

So you save up every penny you can. You control your nafsu makan from indulging at luxurious restaurants, you control your nafsu shopping of buying unnecessary stuff, you hold back from almost everything just to save up for the handbag. But because this handbag is sooo expensive, even after years of saving, one day you realised, it is still not enough.

And then one day, there was a sale. Your million dollar handbag was offered at 50% discount, and in a heart beat you jumped to the offer of course!

And you're happy.

But.. A few days of owning the handbag, you started to doubt yourself. "Only rich people are entitled to own the expensive handbag, but what am i? I'm just an ordinary, typical human who even after saving up a lot to buy that handbag, i'd still have to wait for a sale in the end." If it wasn't for that discount, you wouldn't afford to possess that handbag. And then you started feeling like you're not good enough for the handbag.

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

This is how i feel.

Masa zaman Myspace dulu, i could remember vividly putting this description on the Who I'd Like To Meet section:

"A guy who can guide me to the right path, bring me closer to Allah."

Habis kena gelak dengan kawan-kawan masa tu -,-

That was me when i was just a gullible 15 year-old. For a teenage girl, memang agak tak siuman kan, to write that kind of thing. hahah. That proves how long ago, I've always wanted a good, pious, handsome [this is subjective, hihi] , well-packaged guy as my husband. And based on what Allah said in Al-quran,

"Perempuan yang jahat untuk lelaki yang jahat dan lelaki yang jahat untuk perempuan yang jahat, perempuan yang baik untuk lelaki yang baik dan lelaki yang baik untuk perempuan yang baik."

Surah An-Nur, 26.

And to own that one-of-a-kind, expensive, good husband, like in the handbag story, i controlled myself. I restrained myself. From what? Well... from being bad, in general. heh. And most importantly, i saved up myself for him.

But sometimes i feel like i'm not doing enough.

See. A super good man would surely want a lady who memorizes the Quran. A super good man would surely want a lady who wears a tudung labuh with those baju muslimah or jubah etc etc. A super good man would surely want a lady who can cook 37926 kinds of delicious dishes for him.

I memorize the basic surahs. I wear the typical tudung bawal with shirts and pants. I can cook 3 kinds of meals.

So what am i? "I'm just an ordinary, typical human who, even after saving up a lot to buy that expensive handbag, i'd still have to wait for a sale in the end."

And even if somehow, i managed to stumble upon a 'sale', where a good man actually wants to marry me and accept me for who I am, [as cliche as that may sound, pfff] I'm afraid that one day i will realise that i am not up to his par, i am not good enough to be with someone as perfect as him! Kesian kat dia, sebab dia waaay too awesome to settle down with someone like me.

Sigh.

I had a talk with my sister a few days back on this matter, and she said, "Oh come on. You alim apa."

I sneered to her thoughtful comeback, and countered, "Hahahahaha me? Alim?? What was i doing 5 minutes ago? You ada nampak i berzikir ke tadi? Nope. I was lying down on my bed listening to Taylor Swift."

This is tough.

Turning 20 in a couple of months is starting to get on my nerves.

Here's a teka-teki. What's cute when a guy does it, but world war III if a girl does it? Yep. Being jealous.

I borrowed this book from the library today. Go on, ask me why.

hehehe never mind, i wouldn't want to waste your time, and my time to ask and to answer that silly question. It's nothing actually. I'm just in my process of doing the research needed for my English persuasive speech, "Being best friends with your ex." which, one of the problems i'm gonna have to counter as the cliche reason of why people disagree of being close with your ex;

"It might affect the current relationship."

a.k.a

"Nanti current partner i jealous laa."

Pffft. So thats why i need to 'study' a little on the matter jealousy. And try to twist the fact around. Haih. Convincing people about this is hard enough, but convincing myself is the hardest. Because if i were to be put in this situation, memang aku akan jealous ~~sangat sangat gila sangat sangaaat~~ pun kalau my current partner is being best friends with his ex. heheh

Ok back to work.

Semua pelajar IPT Malaysia diwajibkan mengisi survey berikut. And after answering those exruciatingly boring 200 questions, this graph is what i got for my result.

Red on two areas,

Teamwork, and entrepreneurship.

And i think as a student majoring in Estate Management, having those two credibilities is a must for me. Uhh..

2011-11-27T18:59:00.002+08:00

Next project is the Persuasive Speech. I'm gonna have to persuade other people to agree to whatever i have to say.

And to be fair, we're gonna have to get votes of disagrees from at least 65% of classmates. Kalau tak cukup 65%, tak boleh proceed. Common sense lah kan, buat apa nak persuade orang untuk ubah fikiran, kalau dia dah setuju dengan topic kita in the first place kan?

My first choice was, "Snakes make the best pet." I got 50% votes :(

Second choice was, "Arranged marriages are good." Surprisingly, only 20% disagreed. Haih.

And finally, 82% said NO to this topic. heheheh

My lecturer even complimented me in front of the whole class for my excellent and bold choice of topic. heh. Thanks to you for being such an inspiration ;)

My 7-year-old cousin.

He recently added me as friend on facebook. I'm quite selective of who i approve as friends, tapi macam tak baik la pulak kan kalau tak approve dia.

Tonight, I had to attend a discussion with my classmates, through facebook chat, heh. [We live in different colleges, facebook is our only alternative. Ehem.] Nak discuss and transfer a few files. So terpaksa lah set appear online IM kejap tadi. And then my 7-year-old cousin greeted me.

(Alud is my sister)

Agak kejam bila mentertawakan budak 7 tahun salah eja, heheheh but anyway. Wow. Okay. Maju betul budak-budak zaman sekarang. I baru sedar.

First time evaaaa! Duduk UM melebihi 6 hari. Muahahah.

*phone call*

Ibu: Kakngah buat apa tu?
Me: Reading law. Plus ada assignment nak kena siapkan lepas ni.
Ibu: Law? Ibu macam selalu sangat dengar kakngah study law. Kakngah memang minat law ke?
Me: Law is very delicate, bu. Dia memerlukan kasih sayang dan perhatian yang sangaaat banyak. So kakngah kena spend extra time dengan dia.

Poyo gila aku. hahahaha

What was i thinking, not going home this weekend?

What was i thinking, washing my own laundry for the week?

What was i thinking, spending my entire Saturday alone at the library?

What was i thinking, walking from my residential college to the main library at 10.30 a.m on a hot sunny day?

Point A to point B. Fuhh.

And what was i thinking... not doing all of today's activity earlier??

I feel useful today. I feel grown up. I feel independent.

It felt good. Really good :]

I bought a new glue last week.

Before using it for the first time, of course i had to remove the cap inside. Okay, everybody knows this. And that's when i had this 'brilliant' idea to mess around with it. heh.

Step two.

And... voila. The end product.

Nasib baik i cuma beli satu gam je. Jimat sikit masa yang terbuang. Kalau beli 3, 4, mesti lagi banyak members in the finger family, heheh.

(post ni buat cukup syarat nak update blog je ni)

My study table here.

Since the lecturers only upload our notes online on the Spectrum, our student portal thingy (pronounced as usual as 'spectrum' but the secret behind the name is actually the 'UM' at the end of it, hahaha cute riiight) I found myself preferring to read e-notes than notes on papers now.

Save the environment skali.

Semalam otak dah ~~tepu~~ bosan belajar Econs untuk Test hari ni, tu yang tiba-tiba gatal nak snap-snap gambar pulak.

Lotion di sebelah laptop tu hobi sampingan ketika belajar. Melembutkan kulit menjadi seperti kulit bayi, auww. haha

My books.

Accounting, Economics, English, and Legal Studies. Buku Valuation ada dalam beg ketika gambar ini diambil.

If you look closely at the Legal Studies book (red colour), there's a little brown string hanging out kan? Haa thats a bookmark Amira The Doctor bought for me from Egypt. And the Legal Studies book itself, i borrowed it from Nadia The Lawyer. This way, it is as if they're giving me a push to read all those law cases and i get to 'have' them by my side if i miss them. Tsk tsk.

Tiba-tiba semalam baru terperasan sticker Kolej Rafflesia kat uitm puncak alam dulu masih terlekat dengan cantik pada charger laptop. Terkedu kejap.. . .

Okay hold it right there.

Ni apa kes ni Dini oi. Semua benda nak amik gambar, semua benda nak kenang. Erghh. I'm currently in my sentimental mood and i......... hate it.

In the ophtamologist's room

2011-10-20T00:34:00.000+08:00

The magic word is, "Stye". Ever heard of it?

stye, sty [staɪ]n pl styes, sties (Medicine / Pathology) inflammation of a sebaceous gland of the eyelid.

In simple language, some of the tiny glands in my left eye was blocked. So, it swells. And hurts. And thus i had to undergo a minor surgery to remove the blockage.

I agreed to take local anesthetic, instead of full body, full sleep surgery. Meaning, cuma mata sahaja yang kebas/ bius/ takleh rasa apa-apa, my other body parts will be working fine.

Why? Sebab ~~saya berani! muahahaha~~ procedure untuk amik full body anesthetic will be messy and more expensive and tedious. Kena buat operation dalam Operation Theater, which have to be booked in advance before the surgery. And kena schedule hari lain... which is impossible because i have classes to attend la kan. And, the risk of dying on the operation table is higher. hahaha

Sorry i bore you with all this explanation. Gzzz -,-

Maka dengan itu, pada hari jumaat 14th Oct 2011, 11.34 am, di Darul Ehsan Medical Centre, with my beloved mother beside me, I signed the consent form (hoho bangga sangat, dapat sign consent form sendiri!) to proceed with the surgery.

Mula-mula masuk treatment room tu, nurse yang tolong sediakan apparatus and materials tu pesan, "Adik, rasanya elok kalau adik tanggalkan tudung.." And i was like, "Oh.." Lepas tu dia sambung, "Sebab nanti takut darah meleleh kat tudung." -__-

Err.. Kerja nurse patut menenangkan pesakit, bukan nak buat pesakit rasa macam nak histeria kan? Huh.

First, THE TREATMENT ROOM WAS FRIGGIN COLD. Sesiapa nak buat surgery, sila pakai baju 7 lapis k.

Second, a few minutes into the surgery, i started to regret my decision for taking local anesthetic. Pffft. Just imagine: The doc was cutting my eye open. And i use my eye to see kan? So i can see everything laaa! Ya Allah. The scalpel. The knife. The besi-besi tah ape benda tah lagi yang dia masukkan into my eye. I hanya mampu baring je atas katil tu and witness everything. Nak tutup mata tak boleh pulak tu, hahaha.

The view was somewhat like this, but my doctor was female.

10 minutes later, I walked out from the treatment room half blind. (refer photo on previous entry, please.)

I had to walk with my eyes close most of the time anyway, sebab kalau bukak mata rasa pedih semacam. Even with my eyes closed, i could feeeeeel the people around me in the hospital kept staring. Sheesh. Manusia and their curiosity eh.

5 hours later, i opened the bandage and.... tadaa!

Blood.

Hehe sesiapa yang takut darah, sila muntah di atas keyboard anda sekarang.

Sebenarnya masa mula-mula bukak bandage tu, ada darah dalam mata jugak. Tapi even i sendiri dah freak out seeing my own eye bleeding, haha, so tak teringat pulak nak amik gambar to show it off here in dinkysaurus. Heh.

Just in case if you're wondering.. yes, alhamdulillah i am fine now, thank you. Hee. Pagi tadi first morning since last friday that i woke up to having nothing on my eye. Dah 4 hari bangun pagi, mesti mata sebelah kiri ni penuh dengan tahi mata. Healing process tuuu :)

A friendly reminder to all, bak kata seorang kawan saya yang bakal jadi doktor tu, "Jaga mata tu elok-elok. Mata sangat penting." haha, tangan kaki hidung tak penting eh awak? :P hehe kidding.

Tapi betul. I've (only) lost my sight for 5 hours, and it was one horrible experience. Besarnya dugaan untuk orang yang buta seumur hidup.

Pirate, arrr.

2011-10-15T13:56:00.000+08:00

This is how i ended up looking like, walking out from the ophtamologist's room yesterday.

I cant see and type properly right now, so... Continue when i'm feeling better k.

2011-10-10T21:03:00.002+08:00

"So.. You're going out like this?"

"Yup. How do i look?" i asked, posing in front of the dressing mirror in my room. "Wow." That was her short, simple and brief reply, but since the compliment was coming from her, that was more than enough for me to be awed amazingly. But my joy was cut short when she continued,

"You think you're hot lah wearing that? Well, guess what, you're gonna be hotter in hell later."

Ouch.

I love my conscience.

While waiting for my lecturer to come in for class yesterday, i logged into my twitter and of course, was dumbfounded by Steve Jobs' death.

He, in a way, had made an impact in my life. Not only technologically speaking, but because of his commencement speech in Stanford, which i posted in this blog last year.. during my struggle in foundation. For sharing his life stories. He inspired me.

He taught me to believe in myself.

Thank you, Steve.

Sweet sugary food. Especially chocolates.

+ another 2 packets of M&M's.

I feel sorry for my kidney.

I miss science

2011-10-02T23:49:00.003+08:00

Boleh tak.

I wanna marry somebody from the science-related field. I love science. Dulu masa sekolah, muka ni memang terkenal dengan yang selalu dapat score highest in science. Tapi lepas masuk asasi... taktau apa jadi -,-'

And now since i'm taking degree in estate management, i realised, how badly i miss science.

So. Ulang balik statement tadi. Boleh tak. I wanna marry somebody from the science-related field. Tak kisah, chemist ke, biologist ke, physicist ke, apa-apa je lah. Pastu i nak paksa dia buat bed-time story kat i everynight; cerita anything about science. Nak dengar dia bercakap pasal all the mysterious wonders of the world. Nak dengar dia sebut semua scientific terms yang buat lidah berbelit-belit bila sebut.

Just imagine. Hearing the person i love, talking about a matter i love before going to sleep. Bestnyee.

hahahhahahahahahahahahahaha ok please ignore i gila. Bye.

But seriously though.

Too many doctors

2011-09-18T20:05:00.000+08:00

"Dah terlalu ramai orang yang nak jadi doktor dalam dunia ni sekarang, kan. Tanya yang ni, 'amik course medic'. Tanya yang tu, 'amik course medic' jugak. Medic, medic, medic, and more medic," she babbled, stating her opinion.

"Hmm." I lazily responded. Busy viewing my Twitter timeline on my mobile.

"Kalau asasi atau matrik 4-flat je, mesti proceed degree medic. Eh, banyak lagi kot course lain untuk membuktikan kepandaian masing-masing...," she continued. "Hm," was all i could reply. Again.

She paused for awhile. Perhaps thinking of trying to come up with more 'wise' things to say.

"I wonder how will the world be, with too many doctors in it. Dini.. what do you think?"

Without even taking my eyes off of my handphone, i monotonously blurted, "Well. The way i see it; lagi banyak doctor, lagi tinggiii lah probability for me to marry one."

Terus terdiam minah tu. hahaha

Alhamdulillah selamat mendaftar, dan berjaya hidup mengharungi orientasi 7 hari, dan kini bergelar Mahasiswa UM. hee.

Jacket UM ku yang gah! wuu

Students fakulti Alam Bina are totally different from the science students. Diorang macam, kecoh-kecoh, happening gila, tapi pointer tinggi-tinggi. Kalau budak science kebanyakannya pendiam, baaaaik, suka mengadap buku dan pointer tinggi-tinggi kan. heheh. And yea, i feel super inferior here. Rasa macam, how did someone like me managed to get a place in UM, and managed to be offered Estate Management lagi tu. huh.

Pesenting.. my subjects. Pergh. Habis burn segala jenis ilmu sains yang aku belajar daripada sekolah sampai ke asasi dulu -_-'

Did you notice something 'happy' about that timetable? hehehe.

No?

Tadaa! I dah tolong highlight kan. No class on fridays!!!

Ehem. Okay bye.

September already?

2011-09-02T16:07:00.001+08:00

*Post ini tunggang-langgang. nak cepat. eeek!

Selamat hari raya,

Maaf zahir batin.

Semoga amalan kita dalam bulan Ramadhan diterima Allah. Amin.

Kuih raya yang tiada kena-mengena sangat pun,

tapi sebab dah amik gambar ni, post je lah.

Our raya this year is a little different, because we have a new family member. hehe

Tengok, apakah itu di atas pangkuan Aainaa? Kucing!

On the last week of ramadhan, Aainaa found the little kitty in distress on the highway. If she hadn't rescue it, there's a 99.9% probability that it might be squished by a passing-by car anytime soon. And we decided to adopt it :)

Since boarding service at any vet centre are all fully booked, so we had to bring the kitty back to kampung with us.

Aainaa: Jom namakan dia 'Longkang'? (it was hiding in the longkang tepi highway, when aainaa wanted to take it home.)
Aizat: Taknak laa. Hodohnye nama tu. I suggest 'Milky', since it's white.
Dini: Longkang, Milky. Fine. 'Lonky' it is.

Longkang + Milky = Lonky ♥

Lonky managed to steal sooo many people's attention in the kampung.

Lonkyyy mengada!

--------

I'll be leaving for UM this Sunday morning. Tak bawak laptop pun untuk minggu orientasi ni, so, i guess i should start bidding my farewell now.

Sikitnye beg?

hehehehehehe kalau tak cukup boleh balik rumah.... (alasan.)

It's a love story, baby just say Yes.

2011-08-23T12:56:00.002+08:00

They talked to each other for the first time ever yesterday, 22/8/2011. Just a brief chat.

Today, 23/8, morning after sahur at around 5.40am, he sent her a message on BBM asking for her father's phone number. "Saya nak bagitau ayah awak, yang saya nak berkenalan dengan awak. Boleh kan?"

Perghh.

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

Last week, while browsing through tumblr, i found this one post,

If he loves you,
he would have respect for you. If he says he loves you, remind yourself that thats just talk. Where is the proof? If he loves you, he should be running to your parents because he was afraid that someone else can have you. If he loves you, he’d learn the deen with you. If he loves you, he wouldnt make you sneak out and constantly fib. If he loves you, he wouldnt dare touch you because his level of respect for you is way beyond everything.

If he loves you, then he'd be your man. And if he loves you, he would prove it by signing that paper in front of the imam and your parents that it's a yes.

. . ..what happened this morning really opened my eyes. Forgive me Allah, if for one second i had doubted on your perfect plan ahead of me. And Alhamdulillah, for showing me what i needed to know.

When the time comes, and Allah has already said 'kun fa ya kuun', then there's absolutely no one who could stop it from happening. Kan. :) i should be convinced of this fact, rather than keep on taking things into my own hands, acting like i know who's the right one for me and who isn't.

PS: As much as i want to be this 'her' i'm talking about, but harap maklum, this is not my story. Hehehe.

PPS: Diorang baru nak berkenalan.. But i reeeeally hope they'll make it to their wedding.. Soon. Very soon. *excited* Come on readers! Mari ramai-ramai mendoakan kejayaan hubungan mereka! :D

This will make sense one day

2011-08-22T00:17:00.006+08:00

selamat bersahur,

selamat pagi,

selamat berbuka,

selamat malam,

selamat beribadah,

selamat hari raya,

selamat pengantin baru,

selamat hari jadi,

dan segala selamat semua whatever lagi lah.

ok, maka dengan ini, saya mengucapkan

selamat tinggal!

Note to self

2011-08-18T12:47:00.001+08:00

Be positive. Be brave.

He's orange, he's loyal, he's Tigro!

2011-08-09T17:37:00.003+08:00

Meet the cat which was orginally named Sand Tiger --- (shortened to) Tiger --- (popularised to) Tigro --- (and sometimes) Tiggy.

Tigro,

You had been my very best friend, especially in this past 6 months of holiday.

You climbed through my bedroom's window every morning, and jumped onto my bed to wake me up.

You patiently sit beside me while i do the laundry, lipat kain.

You sit at my leg when i iron the clothes. And whenever you feel like i'm neglecting you, you'd climb on top of the ironing board just to drag my attention.

You sleep on my lap while i watch TV.

You sit beside me while i read the newspaper.

Sometimes when you feel like annoying me, you'd even sit on my sejadah while i was praying. And make me geli by rubbing your head at my head when i perform my sujud.

You'll come running towards my car whenever i get home from anywhere to sambut my kepulangan. And you send me off if i were to leave the house.

You had been a jewel in our family.

For all that it's worth.. Thank you, thank you very much for always being there with me to accompany me. Alhamdulillah, thank you Allah. For lending you to our family.

I'll miss you deeply, dear Tigro. My sweet sweet Tiggy. I'll miss you.

Tigro died today, after 6 days being admitted in the vet. 3 years old is too young for a cat to pass away, let alone to die suffering from leukemia. But let this serve me/us as a reminder that death comes whenever.

Now if only i could stop crying.. . .

Ramadan TV ad

2011-08-03T23:27:00.002+08:00

http://www.video11.es/videos/8tv-ramadan-psa-tv-ads-insulting-chinese-malaysia-2011-203.html ---- click to view the video i'm talking about.

(tak boleh nak embed here, because it's not from youtube. the video was removed on youtube, dengan alasan copyright from Grand Brilliance Sdn Bhd, pffft)

I know i'm not supposed to be blogging, but i feel like i need to say something about this whole 8tv ramadhan advertisement commotion in newspapers and trend in twitter.

Based on my experience schooling in multi-racial schools (i moved here and there, but all of them are Sekolah Kebangsaan / Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan), the chinese and indians would never do that to their Muslim friends as to what the video allegedly accused of them doing.

Cina dengan India sangaaat respect kawan-kawan melayu mereka, especially when it comes to the fasting month. Diorang nak makan, diorang pegi kantin. Diorang dahaga semasa dalam kelas, diorang keluar daripada kelas sambil menghendap-hendap bawak botol air diorang keluar daripada kelas.

Iklan itu sangat bodoh.

I'm not taking sides or condemning any race here, but as a 19 year-old who's gonna be a part of the country's future, i need to give my say. The new generation, my generation, we are NOT racist, please. I know and i'm sure. Because i grow up as one.

Plus, it's not like we muslims are sooo vulnerable, macam tak boleh tengok makanan / orang makan langsung while we are fasting?! Tolonglah. The muslims in the Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) era even manage to win battles and war during Ramadhan, takkan setakat kita tengok makanan pun dah lemah sangat?

And also based on my experience, selalunya, perempuan yang period yang taktau malu je melebih suka tayang-tayang show-off yang diorang tak puasa. Not the non-muslims.

One of the scene.

Aaaand. Judging on the message conveyed in the tv commercial, apa, bulan Ramadhan is all about the bazaar and the pasar ramadhan, and melempiaskan nafsu makan? Clearly our society nowadays need to fix this mindset.

Ramadhan is a holy month to do ibadah and good deeds. Please keep its purity.

1432 H

2011-07-30T23:11:00.004+08:00

Ramadhan will be here in less than 12 hours.

Who knows, this might be my last chance to do it right. This might just be our last chance.

Hihihi. Good luck!

ps. Click here to read the article in Zaharuddin.net on Our Common Mistake in Ramadhan.

Kenapa tak letak identity sendiri, if you wanna say something like that?

2011-07-27T23:07:00.002+08:00

Hi anonymous.

Of UM and my course

2011-07-26T12:25:00.001+08:00

Erm.. so how do i put this in the nicest way possible. I apologise to everyone i previously ignored whenever they ask, "Dapat course apa?"

I bukan sengaja nak menyombongkan diri dengan tidak memberi jawapan, ataupun saje menggedik supaya orang tertanya-tanya, i cuma segan. Kenapa?

On the day the UPU result came out, calls and text messages flooded in from people wanting to know about my result. Being excited, and maybe a little ignorant, i just answered them straight to the point. Here are a first few respondents,

X: Dapat mana?
Dini: UM.
X: Oohh bagus lah. Course apa?
Dini: **********.
X: Theheck?!

--i rate this one 5/5 star for its level of cruelty.

Y: Oh, dapat UM? Alhamdulillah. Course?
Dini: ***********.
Y: HUH?! Apa??

Z: Dapat course apa?
Dini: ***********.
Z: .... (kelip-kelip mata, speechless)
Dini: (senyum)
Z: Jap, kau amik foundation science kan?? Kenapa tiba-tiba melompat pegi course tu?

All these negative people around me, haih.

Ye lah, i'm well aware of the fact that the course i received isn't as grand as medicine, or dentistry, or pharmacy, or law. Or something engineering-ish. Tapi tak perlu lah korang bagi respon macam course yang i dapat tu hina sangat.

:(

Last weekend, as usual i went to my Sirah Rasulullah class. Semua orang above 35 years old je dalam kelas tu, me and my sister were the only young ones. I baru je masuk dalam kelas tu, belum sempat nak duduk kat kerusi pun lagi, my ex supposed-to-be future mother-in-law (mama ex-boyfren i time ~~zaman jahiliah~~ sekolah dulu) enthusiastically terus tanya i,

"Dini, dini dapat course apa?"

Aaaaah man -.- pastu sekarang satu kelas dah pay attention to me, waiting for me to answer. Padahal sebelum ni takde siapa pun yang ingat about my upu result. Haiyoo. My answer? "Heheh rahsia." Then i terus duduk and pandang depan je.

Sorry ye Auntie, saya tak berniat nak bersikap kurang ajar begitu.. tapi, huh. Entah. Saya belum bersedia nak reveal that info to the world yet.

---------

So yeah. Penat la explain memanjang. *takes in a deeeep breath* Here goes.

I got my 6th choice, Bachelor of Real Estate Management, under the Faculty of Built Environment [Fakulti Alam Bina] (which includes bachelor of architecture, bachelor of quantity surveying, bachelor of building surveying and bachelor of science architecture) in Universiti Malaya.

Dulu masa nak apply for pre-U lepas SPM, i put all of my choices in UIA, except one, Asasi Sains UiTM. And i got that. Sekarang untuk degree i letak berderet UKM and UPM, except one, UM.. and i managed to get that. -.-

"Bersyukur lah, at least kau dapat apa yang kau mintak. Listed in your choice also. Orang lain ramai lagi yang kene campak pegi Unimas lah, UMS la, amik course yang pelik-pelik yang tak tersenarai pun dalam pilihan UPU diorang."

-what i kept telling myself-

Lagipun, okay apa, dapat UM. The top university in Malaysia. Dekat dengan rumah. Boleh balik every week. hehehe

Why Real Estate Management, you may ask?

Well.. I gave up on science. Biology, Physics and Chemistry, and i don't seem to connect very well anymore. So i'm taking this as a wind of change. Hijrah kot. If one thing doesn't work out for me even after trying hard, then i'll try to work something out with something else. Macam Rasulullah s.a.w, dakwah di Mekah tak jadi even after 13 years, so he moved to Madinah. For a fresh start.

My subjects will include Economics, Valuation, Legal studies, Facilities management, Law, Math, English.. to name a few.

In simple language: nanti i kerja jual rumah. hahaha

This announcement, this, as you're reading it, is a sign that i am ready. I'm ready to accept this offered course with an open heart.

:D

Esok nak pegi medical check-up and jumaat nak pegi shopping barang-barang. Pastu ramadhan nanti boleh duduk lekk je beribadah. Cewah! hahaha

From now on, hopefully. InsyaAllah.

Starting point

Hello ramadhan.

"Berapa ramai orang yang berpuasa, tetapi habuan daripada puasanya ialah lapar dan dahaga sahaja."

If you value our friendship,
you better do something to fix this situation.
Quick.

Understand??

Last friday,

2011-07-20T14:47:00.001+08:00

Perhilitan came last friday and arrested the monkey that has been seen wandering around my housing area. Hopefully they won't euthanize it. And maybe that shall conclude the end of the monkey story in this blog. Fuh. Mesti korang pun dah boring baca cerita pasal monyet je, >.<

hehehe
------------------

On other note, erm.. well. Where do i begin. I got an offer to pursue my higher education last friday. Alhamdulillah :)

What course am i taking? Hmm.. Let's keep that as a secret for now. I promise i will elaborate on that later.

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

Based on the surat tawaran thing, it says there that i'll be place in KK8 for the first semester. So i posted this to UM's wall; inquiring about KK8, Kolej Kediaman Ke-8..

. . . .

MONYET ? ? ?

Here we go again with the monkey story. Apa boleh buat kan.. Bak kata pepatah, kalau dah jodoh, memang takkan ke mana! hahahaha

Keep coming back

2011-07-15T10:48:00.004+08:00

More of the monkey story.

While i was sitting outside at our garden table yesterday evening menghirup udara segar ~~after sitting in front of the computer all day long~~, i heard a noise coming from my house's roof. When i looked up, tadaa. There it is. The monkey. The monkey staring right back to me on the roof. The monkey came to my house again!

*excited*

So i went inside, no, not to runaway from the monkey.. and not to call 999 again. But to grab my camera so that you, my dear precious reader, get the chance see it with your very own eyes 0.0

Larii.
He was a little camera-shy at first :P

Photos were taken by my Canon Ixus digital camera biasa je, tak sempat nak naik atas pegi amik my Olympus. Digital camera's zooming power tak hebat mana, so i had to stand about less than 2 metres away from the monkey to take this shot. Whoaa :D

Trying to befriend my cat, eh Mr. Monkey?

He still followed me, even after i got inside. Dia duduk kat tepi corridor in search of a hole or any opened windows to get into the house macam semalam -.-"

Trivia-la-sangat: Can you spot Mr. Monkey's pee on the floor?

I didn't manage to get the shot where he put his hand onto my hand, with only the glass-door separating us. hehe sweeeet kan?

Now he's sitting ON my bike :|

Look at those monkeyish puppy-dog eyes! Kesian gila tengok dia, lapar kott (it was trying to open my cat food; Friskies)

I didn't want to feed him anything, despite that we have a few bananas our grandma gave us from kampung last week, because we didn't want the monkey to come again the next day, and the next day, and the next day... for food. But..

..sebab dah kesian sangat, i gave it a banana in the end. heh.

When my mom got home from work yesterday, i showed her the photos of the monkey i took. And she was all worried and ~~scolding~~ giving me advice in a very stern way to not go too near to the dangerous monkey, etc etc.

It was extremely hard to convince her, "Ibu, monyet tu baik laa. Dia tak attack orang." haih.

And guess what?

I was still sleeping when my mom goes to work this morning. Then, when i woke up and checked my phone, there was a text message from her,

"Kakngah, jangan main monyet ok.."

Bahahahahhaha. Tergelak i sorang-sorang atas katil tu.

UPU Nightmare

2011-07-15T09:46:00.001+08:00

This is how my face looks like the whole night last night, and this entire morning:

Scared. Nervous. Excited. Anxious. Otak serabut gila woo nak tunggu result UPU ni.

PS- can you spot my crush's name in between all those universities in the above photo? hihihihi :]

Superstitious monkey

2011-07-14T16:35:00.007+08:00

Dulu i pernah dengar ~~kepercayaan karut~~ orang tua-tua cakap,

"Kalau ada rama-rama cantik masuk rumah anak dara, maknanye ada orang nak masuk meminang la tu."

Yesterday was yet the strangest day.

A monkey entered my house through the master bedroom's window, and berkeliaran around the house. A monkey! The uu-uuk-aa-aak monkey, yes. So i had my first experience of dialing 999.

999: Hello, 999 talian kecemasan. Boleh saya bantu?
Me: Ye. Ada monyet masuk rumah saya.
999: Saya akan sambungkan cik kepada Jabatan Pertahanan Awam ye. Daripada alamat yang cik sedang hubungi saya ni, ini almaat cik ye? No.** Jalan **** Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam. Betul?
Me: Yep.
999: Nombor telefon cik yang boleh saya hubungi?
Me: 03-*******.
999: Siapa nama cik di talian?
Me: Dini.
999: Tini?
Me: Di-ni.
999: Ok Cik Dini, saya akan sambungkan cik kepada jabatan pertahanan awam.

tuuut tuuut tuuut..

JPA: Ye cik, Jabatan Pertahanan Awam. Boleh saya bantu?
Me: (aku dah naik bengang dah ni. sabaaar.) Ada monyet masuk rumah saya.
JPA: Monyet??
Me: Ha'ah -__-"
JPA: Baiklah. Kami akan hantar bantuan secepat mungkin. Ini alamat cik ya? No.** Jalan **** Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam. Betul?
Me: Ya.
JPA: Dan nombor telefon cik ialah 03-*******?
Me: Ya.
JPA: Nama cik?
Me: Dini.
JPA: Maaf?
Me: Di-niiii.
JPA: Baiklah Cik Dini. Sementara kami datang, jangan ganggu monyet tersebut ya.

Monyet tu looked nothing like Bruno Mars' monkeys.

Agak-agak kalau lah i was calling on behalf of an emergency, eg. kena heart attack ke, tebuan serang rumah i ke; memang i dah mati kat situ sementara semput-semput nafas nak menjawab soalan diorang yg berjela-jela.

30 minutes later, Jabatan Pertahanan Awam masih tak datang lagi.

My dad and i went upstairs (where the monkey was last seen) and it is already gone. Ada nampak tapak kaki dia menuju ke luar kat tepi tingkap bilik my parents. Telefon semula 999, dan bagitau diorang, "Monyet tu dah takde. JPA tak payah datang."

Entah pape tahh..

And that night,

Ifoundmyselfexplainingtoafriendwhowasaskingmetogetintoarelationshipwithhim -__- andfinallyihadtobeboldandjustanswered, "i'mnotlookingforaboyfriend.i'mlookingforahusband."

andwhatwashisrespond? "kaunipeliklaa."

Errr -.-

The conclusion? I nak tambah satu kepercayaan karut baru. Kalau ada monyet masuk rumah, maksudnya ada orang nak mintak couple la tu. hahahahhahahah

the samsung is 100 percent fine.

My baby Cicak & Pilah

2011-07-01T22:56:00.002+08:00

Nak donga cito den poie duduk dengan atuk & wan den sominggu kek Kolo Pilah haritu?

hehehehe kalau i cakap bahaso Nogori, susah nak baca kan. So okay, jom kembali kepada penggunaan bahasa biasa.

Nothing extraordinary happened anyway. I ada selongkar almari atuk i, dan i jumpa kitab-kitab lama. I mintak izin bawak pulang ke Shah Alam sebijik, sebab taktau kenapa i suka sangat dengan buku tu. Dah laa published in 1980! That book is even older than i am.

First. We go back to the Telur Cicak story.

I was helping my grandpa cleaning up the living room. Dah memang lumrah la kan, banyak taik cicak merata-rata sebab;

suasana kampung -> banyak serangga -> cicak makan -> taik cicak bersepah

Pastu tiba-tiba, atuk i datang daripada bilik sebelah, sambil menggenggam tangan beliau, seraya berkata, "Kak Ngah, tengok ni." Maka dengan itu, i sebagai gadis bandar terus menjadi jakun kagum taksub dengan telur cicak di dalam tangan beliau tersebut. Maybe a little too jakun, till i decided to keep the egg and wait for it to hatch into my very own baby lizard ♥

I brought it to watch TV with me,

..played with it,

..and to keep it safe from harm, i put it on my Blackberry. So nobody will accidentally crush my lil baby. When my grandpa suggested that i should throw it away, "Taknak la nanti ado pulak seko cicak jinak dalam rumah ni ha." i screamed like a 5-year-old, defending the egg.

That evening, i put the egg on a cupboard, with an intention of coming back for it and then maybe find it a secure place.

Malam tu ramai cousins datang. Ada family reunion sikit, ramai-ramai tengok Maharaja Lawak Final pulak tu, kecoh laa satu rumah. And so i totally forgot about the egg the entire night. Heh -_-

The next day, after lunch, my aunt asked me to pass her the box of tissue, and thats when i saw a group of red ants all over the cupboard.

Pelik jugak, kenapa semut banyak kat atas almari ni, bukan ada makanan ke, ape ke. Turned out, somebody accidentally squished my baby lizard egg! And so it became the semut's rezeki lah :(

Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun :(

Other than my kasih-tak-kesampaian towards my baby lizard story-adventure, during my stay in kampung i went back and forth to UiTM Kuala Pilah to pick up my brother and lepak-lepak with him and then send him back to campus for his classes.

Pictures!

On the way to UiTM Beting, kena lalu jalan kampung. Banyak gilo lombu.

Students pulang ke kolej kediaman selepas kelas.

Kolej Kediaman. Tak sehebat Kampus Puncak Alam, wahahahha :P
(kalau zoom gambar ni, nampak signboard uitm, hee)

Dan lain-lain gambar yang diambil sekitar Kuala Pilah;

The locals call it, Pokan Pilah.

Mary had a little lamb.. little lamb.. little lamb!

I managed to grab the mosquito by its leg! Hehe.
And yes, it was still alive when i snapped this photo >:]

Semangat gila pakai baju UiTM.
Biar satu kampung tau saya budak uitm. huahuahua

Rumput menghijau. Hos air mengkuning.

Okay dah. Bye.

"Ada dua golongan yang akan menjadi penghuni neraka yang belum lagi aku melihat mereka.

Pertama: Golongan penguasa yang mempunyai cemeti-cemeti bagaikan ekor lembu yang digunakan untuk memukul orang.

Kedua: Golongan perempuan yang berpakaian tetapi bertelanjang. Berlenggang lengguk waktu berjalan dan menghayun-hayunkan bahu. Kepala mereka (sanggul di atas kepala mereka) bagaikan bonggol unta yang senget. Kedua-dua golongan ini tidak akan masuk syurga, bahkan tidak akan dapat mencium bau wanginya. Sesungguhnya bau wangi syurga itu sudah tercium dari perjalanan yang sangat jauh daripadanya."

We're only 19.
Nak nikah umur berapa? 23? 25?

Imagine being in love with someone that long w i t h o u t the ikatan yang sah. No strings attached. Banyaknya dosa nak kene tanggung, kan.

This is a justification as to why i chose not to.

Guess!

2011-06-26T22:01:00.001+08:00

Hehehehe

When a feeling gets strong, you know the real thing come along.

-originally published in Dec '09.

I was browsing through facebook, tiba-tiba jumpa satu pakcik ni punya profile. Tengok, between dini and this pakcik, we've got 1 mutual friend. Oohh *sambil mengangguk kepala* padan la nama dia macam familiar. He's the father of my ex-classmate, that 1-mutual-friend person.

So i thought, "Wah hebat eh pakcik ni. Ada facebook, active plak. Eh. Eh. Ape ni. Kenapa tak boleh nak view his friends? Alaa. Baru ingat nak view profile ramai lagi pakcik-pakcik & makcik-makcik yang ada facebook."

I tak puas hati. I nak jugak stalk pakcik ni. Dia nampak macam interesting to know.

Ahah. His photos aren't set to private! So click lah, apa lagi. Banyak gilaa photo album dia. Berpuluh-puluh. I scrolled.. most of the photo albums were photos of his working projects (kot, tak sure.). I hit next.. next.. next.. And then, there's one album that catches my eye. "Me & You" hehehe.

Bukak album tu, i immediately go "Awwwww. Sweetnye!"

There were photos of the pakcik & his wife, when they were young! Masa zaman diorang belajar kat universiti dulu-dulu.

Caption: Di Cameron Highlands 1987

One of their friends commented on this photo, "HOI! Orang suruh belajar la bukan dok bercinta."

And the wife replied, "To me, kat U, tempat yg paling baik cari pasangan, masa tu kita lebih matang & dapat mengenali hati budi pasangan."

And the pakcik replied, "Bagi chance la bro. 5 tahun kat SDAR, setahun kat SAS = 6 tahun aku tak jumpa pompuan. Kat UKM lak ada pompuan yg comel nak cakap dgn aku, aku ajak dia kawin lah!"

hahahhahaha comel kan? :D

Caption: January 1987 - partner chemistry practical. The chemistry was just right.

And then there were photos when they first got married, stated there in the caption "Year 1990". Well i just assumed that they were married because, heh, in those pictures dah ada touching-touching and hugging-hugging (instead of just sitting there next to each other like in the above photos). Heh.

And finally there were their latest photo in the year 2009. The pakcik is now chubbier (yes as a result of the wife's good care of course!) and the wife still maintain lawa macam dulu. *taknak post the recent photo here, nanti orang kenal kot.

I noticed most guys after they (happily) got married, diorang mesti jadi lebih gemuk eh? Haha.

*i'm sorry to the pakcik in this story, atau the wife, atau anak pakcik (in case you're reading this) or sesiapa je kalau ada yang terasa semacam. Pakcik & the wife, I fell in love with their love story so i decide to write about it here. Heh. I doakan pakcik & wife & family bahagia sampai bila-bila. Please don't sue me :)

Tarik nafas. Hembus.

2011-05-20T14:24:00.000+08:00

Hai sayang.

Tadi masa i dalam kereta atas highway on the way home, i terfikir pasal you. "Agak-agaknye dalam beribu-ribu kereta yang i jumpa atas jalan ni, ada possiblity tak, you are in one of these kereta?"

oh, ayah i marah i amik gambar mase dalam kereta. dia cakap, distracting :/

Tadi masa i pergi bank, i terfikir pasal you lagi. Ada satu mamat ni, dia nampak baik. Dia park motor dia betul-betul depan kereta i. I teringat kat you, sebab.. i wish my sayang mesti ada lesen motor & reti bawak motor. I bukan nak you jadi rempit, tapi i nak you ada motor supaya kita boleh pegi cruising around town on your motorcycle. I tak pernah naik motor, tapi i rasa naik motor lebih romantik daripada naik kereta.

Tadi masa i tengah balas text kawan i, i terfikir pasal you lagi. You mesti type macam orang normal.. macam ni. Bukan merepek-merepek macam 'npew x titow agie nieh?' atau 'hAi CayuNk!' Yes, i pasti, cara you type sms pasti merupakan salah satu sebab kenapa i suka you.

Tadi masa i online facebook, lagi, i terfikir pasal you. Wall you mesti takde sebok penuh dengan perempuaaan je memanjang. You tak menggedik flirt-flirt dengan kawan perempuan you. You baik, you setia. You sayang i je.

Dan tadi lepas solat, i doa, i akan jumpa you secepat mungkin. Amin.

:>

PS- Saya memang sangat mengada dalam bab berangan-berangan ni.

Kahwin 'awal'

2011-04-23T10:42:00.001+08:00

*perkembangan daripada cerita Nisa & Naufal haritu.

Yesterday..

I was assisting their Bahasa Malaysia class. When i first came into the classroom, i noticed that Nisa dah awal-awal cop tempat duduk sebelah Naufal. Wah, memang obsessed lah budak tu. heh.

Their teacher in front was giving lessons on how to differentiate between 'kanan' and 'kiri', 'hadapan' and 'belakang, when suddenly the girl sitting in front of Nisa stood up, raised her hand, and shouted,

"SIAPA NAK KAHWIN DENGAN NAUFAL, ANGKAT TANGAN!"

"Saya!" "Saya!" "Saya!" "Saya!" "Saya!" "Saya!" Haa amik kau, 6 orang terus nak jadi bini Naufal. Including Nisa.

Kelas terus jadi kelam kabut, and nobody paid attention to what the teacher was teaching anymore. Naufal tersengih bangga.

I on the other hand, think that there's this one boy in that particular class, yang jauh lagi handsome compared to that Naufal. So, dengan selambanya, i announced to the class, "Siapa nak kahwin dengan Dani, angkat tangan!"

Nobody -__-' Memang takde taste betul lah budak-budak ni, haih.

And then.. "Saya!" cried a voice behind me. When i turned around, rupanya yang cakap tadi tu ialah Zakwan. Yes. Dia lelaki. Nak kahwin dengan Dani. Aduhai :'/

Meanwhile, peminat-peminat Naufal tadi masih kecoh-kecoh "kita kahwin dengan awak tau naufal" "jangan pilih dia" "tak jangan pilih dia" "naufal comel laa" "tak sabar la nak kahwin dengan naufal" blablabla.. . . Tiba-tiba, a boy named Rifaie stood up, smiled and said,

"Kita nak kahwin dengan Teacher.."

haha aww :')

yang tepi sekali tu Naufal. see how the ladies just looove him?

odd couple. Zakwan & Dani.

Searching

2011-04-21T18:59:00.000+08:00

:D
My name is in Google's autocomplete! whoaa

"You're more into cats."

2011-04-18T17:53:00.003+08:00

I skyped with my best friend sehidup semati in high school the other day. From Shah Alam, Malaysia all the way to Alexandria, Egpyt :')

She asked me what have i been up to lately. When i told her, "Aku jadi assistant teacher kat kindergarten.", her respond was, "Err.. kau boleh survive ke? Based on the Dini yang aku kenal dulu, aku rasa kau tak suka budak-budak. You're more into cats."

hahahahhahahahaha. I love the way you know me so well, Mimi ♥

ni muka masa form 5, skrg dah lain kot :p

Hm.. What she said isn't totally bogus, but it's not the 100% truth either. Bukannya i tak suka budak-budak macam tak suka yang benci, tapi cuma tak berperasaan terhadap budak-budak. Neutral. Ye lah, i tak pernah ada adik kecik kan. Perasaan tiada, apatah lagi skills to look after them.

Lets take this, for example if you take one cute baby to a normal girl, the normal girl would predictably react like this: Eeeeee comelnye!!

Me? I'd most probably just look at the baby, blink for a couple of times, and then walk away. heheh

But try and shove a kitty to my face, i will, for sure, react like this: EEEEEEE KUCING COMELNYE!

Tak normal kan? Haa. Itulah tujuan sebenar i kerja kat tadika ni sebenarnya. Nak menjinakkan diri dengan kanak-kanak. Sebab nanti kalau dah ada family sendiri, i akan memberanakkan anak manusia, bukan kucing -.-

In a few more days, genaplah sebulan i have been working in the kindergarten. Now i can proudly say that i'm good at handling both; kids AND cats. And Alhamdulillah, i'm not that ignorant & feelingless towards kids macam dulu-dulu tu dah :)

~~Back-up plan: Kalau aku tak kahwin nanti, nak bela 27 ekor kucing, wahahahaha~~

2011-04-12T22:02:00.001+08:00

Pagi tadi bangun tidur, serious rasa macam takde semangat nak hidup. I dunno i was feeling down whether it was because of my result, or that something else that happened yesterday.

I was supposed to be at the kindergarten at 7.30 am, but 7.05 am i was still on my bed. Terlantar. I thought, "What if i text the Principal, and tell her i'm not feeling well? And i'm taking the day off?"

7.13 a.m, setelah 8 minit contemplating to go or not to go to work, terbaring atas katil tu sengsorang, "Ahh takkan aku nak buang masa macamni the whole day?"

Cepat-cepat bangun. Mandi secepat mungkin. Capai baju kurung paling senang untuk dipadankan dengan apa-apa tudung dengan cepat. Skip breakfast untuk cepat. & drive dengan cepatnya ke kindergarten. Perkataan 'cepat' digunakan banyak kali untuk meng-emphasis betapa cepatnya i bersiap time tu.

Sampai tadika, Principal tengah marah-marah. It turned out, ada tiga teacher yang emergencily absent harini, maka akan ada 3 kelas yang tak berteacher. Kalau ni sekolah menengah takpe, budak-budak pandai jaga diri. Tadika? An absolute NO.

So i jadi teacher ganti tadi. First buat reading, lepas tu ajar jawi, lepas tu ajar computer lessons dan akhir sekali ajar alphabet. Ya, saya cikgu serba boleh :P

Anywaay. One interesting thing happened while i was supervising the children in their computer class.

Principal dah pesan kat i awal-awal, kita kena pair-up the kids; a girl with a boy, and they're gonna have to share for each computer. So that takkan ada apa-apa komplot untuk merosakkan komputer-komputer flatscreen yang mahal belaka tu. Principal tu cakap, "If the boy wanted to do anything reckless, then the girl will surely scold him and ask him to do the right thing."

hahahhaha perempuan memang daripada kecik dah ada sikap macam tu eh.

Ok tu bukan cerita yang i nak cerita. In the middle of our computer lesson, suddenly i heard two girls quarreling.

Nisa: Pegi la sana!
Hani: Apa awak ni. Ni tempat saya laa!
Nisa: Taknak. Kita nak duduk siniii..!

Pastu diorang start tarik-tarik rambut. So i as the big teacher (hehehe) pun masuk campur la. "Hey hey Nisa! Hani! Stop it."

Dan seperti yang dijangka, mulalah mereka membuat report. "Teacher... Nisa yang start dulu." "Tak teacher, tengok Hani. Dia menyibuk kat sini."

Ignoring whatever they just said, i asked, "Kenapa ni?"

And thats when i realised, Eh aku rasa tempat duduk Nisa kat sebelah hujung sana tadi. So i re-asked my question, "Kenapa Nisa duduk sini? Bukan tempat Nisa kat sana ke?"

Hani buat muka 'haha-padan-muka-kau-Nisa,-kena-marah-dengan-teacher.'
Nisa pulak buat muka kesian.

"Okay. Nisa, now go back to your place. Let Hani sit beside Naufal," i memberi arahan.

Teka apa Nisa jawab?

Dia jawab, "Tapi teacher.. Nisa suka Naufal. Hani, awak pun tahu kita suka Naufal kan."

Pastu Hani cakap, "Tapi kita dapat duduk sebelah Naufal dulu!"

Like, WTH -_-'

Whaaat lah. Budak 5 tahun pun dah pandai berebut boyfriend sekarang? Untungnye jadi lelaki -.-

hiasan

Despite the tiredness and everything, the day turned out to be okay after all. Hmm.

PS- if you were wondering apa budak yang bernama Naufal tu buat sepanjang argument Nisa dan Hani berebutkan dia. Naufal dengan selambanya duduk di sebelah mereka, tanpa langsung memberi peduli, dan terus mengklik-klik mouse beliau bagi menyiapkan his computer lesson. Errr... wow, kan?

Maybe, just maybe

2011-04-11T16:11:00.004+08:00

First: ALHAMDULILLAH.

Second: Sempena result asasi uitm keluar harini, nah. Meh tengok video ni.

"Mana datang kejayaan bergulek."

Kepada mereka yang tak dapat capai result sepertimana yg diharap a.k.a diri sendiri, sila usaha lagi, ya.

:(

Last but not least: My special gratitude to -Shiqin -Hasniza -Farah Wahida -Zurianna -Amira -Izatie -Afiq Che Man -Syahidah -Syafiqah -Shahira -Ains -Aiman -Aishah -Farah Amira -Amnah -Syafiah.. and to that one particular person yang kutuk aku habis-habisan masa dia dapat tahu aku dapat result teruk untuk sem 1 sampai timbul penyesalan dalam diri ini lantas memberi semangat untuk aku berusaha lebih gigih untuk sem 2.

Poo-poo

2011-04-05T21:47:00.002+08:00

Today, on 5th of April 2011, at 10.50 am,

for the first time ever in my 19 years and 30 days life,
i changed a kid's diapers.

I shall repeat that.. For. The. First. Time. Everrr.

Macam nak menjerit tadi. hehehehh :o

that one kid, Azan, yang tengah baring atas lantai tu manja gilaa.♥

"Teacher, teacher.."

2011-03-30T14:01:00.002+08:00

"Hi teacher Dini.." she said, smiling, exposing her row of cute teeth.

"Hi.." i said back.

There was a few milliseconds of silence, and then she blurted, "Awak, (she was 4 years old, lek je dia panggil i 'awak') awak betul teacher eh? Awak nampak macam 'kakak' je, tapi sebenarnya awak teacher."

----------

"Okay, we're going to do some reading today. Now, boy, whats your name?" i asked him, in order to get his reading record book.

"Hafiz," he stated.

I nodded, and started to go through the pile of books besides me searching for the one written 'hafiz' on it. And then he said, "Teacher, teacher tak ingat nama saya ke?"

"Err.. teacher baru lagi kat sini la sayang."

That was on my second day of working. I have about 120 students. Haih. But i respect his straight-forwardness.

---------

Kids and their honesty. ♥ How come when we get older, we sort of lose all these ability to express ourselves to the people around us?

Work it out

2011-03-26T19:53:00.002+08:00

I'll be working at a kindergarten, starting next monday. As an assistant teacher.

Working hours: 7.30 am till 1.00 pm.

And then my mom agreed to be paying me for staying at home for the remaining half-day to do chores and be a housewife. Do the laundry, cook, sweep the floor, ~~online,~~ take care of the garden, etc etc. Pendek kata.. pagi-pagi jaga anak orang, petang-petang jadi maid. Haaa.

This 6 months of holiday now seems like a complete training ground for me to sharpen my mothering skill.

PS- Some people take up jobs during their study breaks for the money. Some because they're bored at home. Some because they want the experience. Me? I do it just plainly because i need distractions from missing a particular someone so terribly :(

Busy with nothing

2011-03-21T16:47:00.001+08:00

My foundation is over.

& my 6 months of holiday shall begin...

now.

He (in the picture) is the friend who i was talking about in that particular story.

Alhamdulillah. Barakallahu lakuma. Selamat pengantin baru ye, Anas Kasran & Syakirah Rosli. When i finally got the chance to meet you two yesterday, erm, macam mane nak cakap eh. Words cant describe it lah. Only Allah knows how i truly feel inside.

:]

Aaah.. Untung sungguh orang yang jodoh awal ni.

I snooze, I lose.

2011-03-01T19:25:00.002+08:00

This morning's situation:

My handphone beside me duk vibrate & menjerit macam nak rak. And without even opening my eyes, i grabbed it and clicked snooze. 9 minutes later, snooze lagi. 18 minutes later, after hitting the snooze button again, i subconsciously composed a text;

When my room mate dengan segala lemah lembut dan baik hatinye tolong kejutkan, "Dini.. Ada kelas pukul 8.30 harini kan.." In denial, i said, "Takkk...!" and buried my head in the pillows. hahahah. And floated back into dreamland.

-----

Dah tahu nak amik test math tengah hari nanti, tapi malas pulak nak pegi kelas tutorial pagi tu. Tak ke bodoh? :|

Pastu kawan-kawan lain tersenyum melebar walking out of the exam hall sebab soalan senang sangat (sebab dah dapat hint and tips from our tutor dalam kelas pagi tadi), i on the other hand tension, rasa macam nak nangis & menyumpah-nyumpah diri sendiri kenapa tak pegi kelas pagi tadi.

Haih. Oh well.

ps. I've got this one BIG pimple on my cheek right now and i'm putting 110% blame on the exams. Dammit.

3 weeks off

2011-02-24T17:38:00.002+08:00

Maka dengan ini, bermulalah my routine of going to bed at 2am earliest, berkepit dengan notes wherever i go & rela membiarkan laptop berhabuk dalam locker. hehehe okay yang last tu tipu je kot.

To whoever this may concern, dont miss me too much :p

Oh, and on another note, to the anonymous who posted a comment on my entry Doing the right thang the other day, i'd like to thank you very much :) especially for sharing the link.

When i first read your comment, berasap jugak lah kepala i, hahah. Terbakar ego! Manusia, normal la tu pantang orang tegur silap kan. heh. Tapi lepas tu i okay.

I like you.

You're really nice. You're really intelligent. You're really sweet. You're really good looking. You're really something.

But. Our Foundation in Science here in UiTM will be over in less than a month.

Considering the fact that you came from another state, which is a 3-hours distance drive away from where i live, ..... and that we're only 19,... and that we're most probably gonna go to different universities in pursuing our degrees,... and that we're gonna meet thousands more other people in our lives, ..... and that perempuan cantik bersepah merata-rata kat bumi ni ~~while guys like you are just so hard to be found these days~~, .... and that i'm afraid of getting hurt again, ....

I'm sorry.
From the bottom of my heart.

K610i

2011-02-06T01:32:00.004+08:00

September 2006 - 10 April 2010

Four years. That is how long it had been there by my side as my main handphone.

I still remember when i first got it. When my friend called my house phone that day, the first thing i excitedly told him in that conversation was about my new cellphone.

D: Hey remember when i said i wanted to pujuk my mom for a new handphone?
Q: hahaha yep. I told you you wouldnt get it.
D: Nope. I got it.
Q: Whaaat? Seriously? What phone?
D: hehe Sony Ericsson K610i.

And then i went on and on talking about its awesome features. Ada bluetooth! 2 megapixels camera! Wide-screen! Boleh access internet! Ada photo editor! Support MP4 format video...! Wow wow woaah!

That was then. Sekarang semua features tu setakat je. How technology has quickly emerged.

When i bought a new phone earlier last year, i asked the salesperson how much would he pay me for a trade-in? RM 40 -_-' Baik aku simpan je.

Looking at its condition now..

The navigation button in the middle is partly faded. The most obvious affected area is the right and bottom buttons; right: indicating that i used the shortcut button to create new messages selalu sangat. And below: suggesting that i used it way too often to scroll down the screen to read messages. heheh

The very frequently-used camera button.

Before owning myself the Canon camera, i relied on this 2 megapixels baby like remoras relying upon sharks.

Charger and headset plug. Now rusty and dusty.

I'm still using it today, though. As my second handphone. Walaupun dah banyak kali jatuh. Calar-balar. Crack sini sana. (There was this one period of time of my life, i had this habit of throwing this K610i on the floor when the alarm goes off in the morning. hahahahhahah)

But it is still working fine today. It seems to me that Sony Ericsson does not make phones with this such quality anymore these days.

Hmm.

Silver celebration

2011-01-25T12:17:00.005+08:00

Twenty-five years ago, today, he and she got married.

She was 18 years old when they first met, a seventh grade student in Seddon High School, Auckland, while he was 20, a first year student pursuing his degree in mathematics in University of Auckand, New Zealand.

They became friends and got to know each other for 6 months, during which he mustered every ounce of confidence and courage in him to make an international call way back to Malaysia to speak to her father about them. They then got engaged on Christmas of '85, when they got back to Malaysia on their semester break, and got married a month later, which is on 25th January 1986.

She's 19 when they got married and he was 21.

They then had their first daughter, Aainaa, on 20th April 1987, born in New Zealand.

When i interviewed her about how a presence of a baby affected their lives while being just students, she said, (and i quote)

"We became more disciplined. It felt like we had something to live for, something to look forward to when we get home after class everyday. She (the baby) gave us purpose."

..and when i asked how did they manage to survive just on the JPA scholarship money Malaysian government gave them, she answered,

"He worked part-time at a supermarket to buy the wedding ring! hehe."

"By how we live on daily basis, we didn't spend like how our friends did. Of course he couldn't afford to buy any superbike like how his friends did, and of course i couldn't afford to get the trendiest clothes like my friends, but we have our little home and a family of our own."

& i am sure the 'little home and a family of their own' couldn't compete with all those tangible stuff eh.

As the famous saying say; when there's a will, there's a way.

And here's how they look today,

..blessed with 3 amazingly cute offsprings ;p

Happy 25th anniversary, ibu & ayah.
We love you ♥

:*

Ehem ehem. Mum, i'm turning 19 this yeaarr! :P

I tried to act formal but

I know that was just his template, but still. hihihihi excited. Maybe from now on i should send more emails to my lecturers :p

2011-01-18T11:54:00.004+08:00

I've been preeetty busy lately, with all the tests and quizzes and assignments and lab reports and tutorials and.. . . i'd go on forever if i want to.

Sorry :]

I tell myself that i should grab this opportunity to be determinedly busy with a purpose while i can, and this will all just be until march. Yep, you got that right. March. My foundation studies is ending in March 2011 :D Less than 60 days away. Nanti dah habis foundation nanti, i nak online/update blog every minute pun boleh.

Anyway. I've got a new room mate here in UiTM. (hahahhahaha)

I first met her last wednesday morning, when she disturbed my sleep. My class on wednesday starts at 10.30 am, so i planned to purposedly oversleep till 9 am. My real room mate had gone out for her class at 8.

At around 8.10 am, i heard the first buzz. 'Bzzz bzzz bzzzzz' on my window. I was like, apehal niii. and then buried myself in the comforter and pillows. A few buzzes later, she stopped.

Moments after that, i heard another buzz. Badly annoyed, i got out of bed and walked towards the window, and pushed the window to open wider, giving her the chance to fly away thus quit bothering me. I tried to go back to sleep but i can't. Damn.

Bengang weh, tak dapat nak tido balik. Figuring that it was a little too early for me to take my shower, i then took out my laptop and began doing my unfinished tutorials.

5 minutes later,

she came back -__-

I was like, "What do you want lah? Keep on coming here and irking me. Go awaaaay." Then i noticed she was holding something in her mouth. (or sesungut, whatever lah) I followed to where she headed, and tadaaa surprise!

She was actually building a nest in my room, right across my study table. Going back and forth carrying small pieces of mud to my room. Allahuakbar. God almighty, how that little creature can manage to find her way from the ground and back to my room on the 3rd floor everytime.

I then spent the next 1 hour finishing up my tutorial having her by my side, while she was building herself a home.

Under construction..

Thats her :)

And when i came back from my class that evening at around 5 pm, i went straight to the back of the curtain where she built her nest, to see how she's doing.

A little mud-igloo. haha

So kiiuuutt.

She's not dangerous, is she? :o

Pie-aye-aye

Heheheh, first of all, im sorry for being such a pain in the ass for insisting on knowing your identity.

Here goes, as requested above. You're gonna need:

-500g freshly minced chicken
-segenggam of chopped celery
-1/2 diced onion & a little garlic
-1/2 carrot, chopped in strips
-2 or 3 table spoon of tomato puree
-olive oil
-1/2 chicken stock
-salt
-dash of thyme (this is optional, kalau u dah ada kat rumah takpe. kalau takde takyah susah2 cari. its quite rare kot. heh. its just a type of herb that'll help in vanishing the smell of the chicken)
-3 US potato

Shepherd's pie, here we come.

Peel the potatoes, cut them & boil them. Do add some salt, sikit je. And while the potatoes are boiling, we shall make the mince.
Heat up the kuali. Heat up the olive oil. Make sure the olive oil is enough to 'rendam' your chicken. Add the onion + garlic + celery + carrot.
Then add the minced chicken. Let it fry guna api kecik about 25 minutes. When the chicken is a little brown, add in the puree and chicken stock and thyme. Stir them once in awhile.
Taste and add a little more seasoning if needed :) Check to make sure the chicken is cooked.
In the meantime, if your potato is ready (soft and all gushy), dry them and mash them. Add a little salt. And pre-heat your oven to 190 °C.
By the time the minced is nicely cooked, the celery, onion, garlic & carrot dah tak nampak sifat sangat dah. They had probably hancur and got seeped into the chicken mince.
Drain the leftover oil. We dont need that.
Transfer the mince into an ovenproof dish. Spread the mashed potato on top of the mince. Sprinkle a little olive oil on top of the potato spread.
Bake them for 10 minutes, or at least till the potato on top shows a little brownish colour.

Aaaand done!

And here are the photos from my previous post, maybe they'll help you in some way.

Good luck, S.

:]

Alhamdulillah

The last time i managed to get 100% in math was waaay back when i was in standard 3. Which was 10 years ago :o

And English, thank you for letting me not letting you down. :))

2010 was my year of mistake. And so i am determined to make 2011 as my year of change. hihi insyaAllah.

After seeing my spm result, and my semester 1 for foundation in science final exam result in 2010 yang teruk gile nak mampos, i realised that i am no genius (like, wth? hahahhaha) and i need to bust my ass off, work hard and push myself to go a few extra miles like everybody else in order to achieve things i want in life.

So. Do pray for me :]

(pardon all this ala-ala ucapan politician nonsense. i promise this will all just be temporary, heheh.)

3 days ago was Dinkysaurus' 3rd birthday. 26th dec 2010.

It has been three years now, since i started publishing tiny bit of my everyday life here in the internet. There's a quote that says, "The more you reveal to people about yourself, the easier you will make for them to hurt you."

& I'm starting to come to my senses that that quote might have a slight truth in it.

Anyway, happy birthday dinkysaurus.

Please. Enjoy this one.
Because it might just be your last.

Okay ?!

Ugh.

Now will you please just talk to me?

Wasting precious time

We had just known each other for a couple of days when he bravely came sitting with me at my usual place, usual table. I was alone. There were plenty more other unoccupied tables, but he still chose to sit at my table.

I was acting busy with my handphone before he came, and when he did, i looked up to him. He threw this one gentle, sincere but shy smile to me.

We small talked. This is our first official conversation. We already knew each other's name, and that was just it, so we started from there. Kampung kat mana? Adik beradik berapa? Anak ke-berapa? Ada facebook tak?

As we talked, i began to notice his nice shirt. And then his nice laughter. Then his nice face. Then his nice hair. That's exactly what i did. I only complimented everything about him is 'nice', not more nor less than that. My guard was up, obviously.

I tried holding back my tongue from asking him some really serious, personal questions. I wouldn't want to ruin this thing, but on the same time i wouldn't want to waste my time either. I had to know. I just had to.

I put down my handphone on the table, and held out my hands to him thus said, "Hey, tengok your handphone? Apa lagu best yang you ada."

He was surprised for what i requested at first, the look on his face tells it all. But then the look disappeared, followed by his right hand going under the table reaching for his handphone in his pocket. Fulfilling my wish.

He handed me his Nokia.

I didn't know i had this talent in me. To act mysteriously calm and superior like a guy, and made him look sissy like a girl. hahahaha

First i scrutinized his wallpaper. Okay. Not a picture of any girl, so, pass. Then i went into his Music folder.

"Kanye West." i stated. He grinned, and nodded.
"Oh wow, Paramore." I hit the play button. "Cool," i commented further.
After letting the song played for about 7 seconds, i hit Stop. And continued exploring.

He was sitting opposite to me, so he couldn't see the screen. I then scrolled down quickly, just to get a glance of the artists in his playlist, and then went out of his Music file. I noticed there wasn't any Taylor Swift song in it, so i said, "Tak minat Taylor Swift?"

As fast and as cunningly possible, i went to his Messages and went through his Inbox. He replied, "Oh, tak pernah teringat pulak nak masukkan lagu dia. Heheh. Kenapa, you minat?"

My eyes were busy scanning through his inbox as i smiled and uttered, "Biasa je. But her songs are good."

His inbox was full with guys' names; read 'Ko pegi x?' 'Xtau lg nnti aku tanya' 'Ok chow' etc.

I let out a big sigh of relief as i got the answer i was looking for, and navigated back to his Music files. "I bluetooth lagu Lady Gaga ni eh?" i asked for permission.

"Satu lagu seringgit," he replied and we both giggled. Now that i know i wouldn't be wasting my time talking to him, i can lower my guard a little bit..

If i were a guy, i'd be afraid of me :0

Now you dont

2010-11-28T22:19:00.002+08:00

No, i am not back on facebook :| sorry.

I had something to settle with someone, who i didnt have her contact number so the only way for me to get to her was through facebook. In the first 15 minutes of my activating my account, 10 minutes was filled with shock and disappointment and nothing useful nor healthy feelings.

That is why, a few seconds before publishing this post, since the 'something-to-settle-with-someone' is now settled, i decided to re-deactivate my account. Wahahaha.

Ok bye.

Sem break: Over

"The sun is warming up?!"

"You're going to go through life thinking that girls don't like you because you're a nerd. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won't be true. It'll be because you're an asshole. "

-Definitely Maybe

". . ..sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. How to tell from the ones who want us and the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave.

Maybe the happy ending is... just... moving on. Or maybe the happy ending is this; knowing after all the unreturned phone calls, broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment you never gave up hope."

Anyway. I'm really looking forward and already feeling overzealous in starting the second semester next week. Wuuu

Kau & Shepherd

2010-11-15T23:56:00.003+08:00

My first shepherd's pie ever; 15th july 2009. from Secret Recipe.

please excuse the poor-qualitied picture. zaman tak reti sangat amik gambar *shriekss :0

It was a surprise from a friend of mine. That one fine morning while i was studying at home alone [ponteng sekolah, heee], my doorbell rang. When i came to the door, there he was, standing outside my gate with a paperbag in his hands.

"Apa tu?" was the first thing that popped out of my mouth even before reaching the close-enough distance to start talking to him. He prompted, grinning, "Cake. Chocolate fudge. And shepherd's pie."

Curious, i asked again, "Woww. Kenapa?"

He replied, "Kan aku pernah cakap nak belanja kau secret recipe."

I whispered to myself quietly in my head, laa i thought he was kidding about that. I smiled. His reply sort of amused me, thinking how lucky i am to have a friend who keeps every single promise he made, even when i thought he was joking. "Oooh. Hahahhaha. Okay then, jom makan sama nak?" i invited.

"Hmm.. kau ajak aku masuk rumah kau ke ni?" He answered my question with another question.

"Eh tak. Sorry sket, aku tak bawak laki masuk rumah. hahaha. Makan kat luar. I'll bring pinggan and cutleries out."

__________

Today, i had a dream about him. It was another one of my "random-people-showing-up-in-my-dream" time. I guess, subconciously, i miss talking to him. Not that kind of rindu jiwang-jiwang tu, it's the kind of rindu where err how to explain eh? Rindu yang bukan jiwang la.

Dulu masa form four, i remember once asking him, who was his bestfriend, and his answer was short yet meaningful, "Kau la."

Tapi tu dulu kan? Before we went to universities. Before you had a girlfriend. Before you made so many new other girl-friends.

The thought of contacting you did crossed my mind. Sure i still have your number. I still hafal your number. But, erm, entah. Taknak lah kacau kau.

So, alternatively, to channel all this temporary sickness feeling of longing untuk kau to something else yang bukan kau, sempena aku merindu-rindu kau tiba-tiba ni, i decided to make something to mark this event today. A shepherd's pie.

the mince.

the white stuff are the mashed potato :D

mashed potato now spreaded on top, and ready to be baked.

baking...

Kalau kita masih keep in touch sekarang, i'll surely call and tell you about this and maybe invite you over to have another improper meal outside my house, hihi. But.. since we're not, i'll just post it up to dinkysaurus and make the readers drool :P

Esok mimpi apa pulak? Nak bake apa pulak?
