Hush little darling, don't you cry

I was on the working floor when I received a call from Qatar airways to remind me to not forget that I am picking you up tomorrow. I was more than ecstatic. I told them, of course I won't forget, I have been waiting for her arrival since 3 weeks ago.....

I got myself ready, I bought the ingredients to make your favorite dish that only I can cook for you. I went to the grocers twice because I had not enough time as I am tied with work. But I do not mind because I want to prepare the best for you while we spend that short amount of time together.

When I finally got home and was just having a rest before I start preparing for your arrival, I had a call from Mamak. Immediately I knew, my sisterly instinct shouted at the back of my head: "something's gone wrong!"

After finally learning the whole situation, I realized that I am not going to see you anytime soon. Maybe a little later, but I don't mind waiting. I was so dead worried after getting all the information of the whole situation. I was worried that this is the first time you encounter such situation.

I know that you are still a little baby in everyone's eyes and I also do know that there is always the first time for everything from where you should learn. I understand that you are traumatized by the whole situation. But Allah will not give us any situation that we cannot get through. Thank Allah that you are ok, just a little shaken.

Hush little darling, no matter where you are, don't you cry. We are all here for you no matter how distant we are. We will give the best for you so that you will be safe, insya'Allah. But please promise that you will too give the best to yourself, do not doubt yourself that you can go through these situations as a strong Princess.

There is always me here for you.....

Waiting to see you soon :)

Plastic surgery

Can you see the results or do I still look the same?

*Elianto Aloe Vera mask.

Could you tell us apart?

So, who is that gorgeous babe beside me?

Wanna take a guess?

Blowing Kisses

My darlings Nana, and Yayah...
Even if I never say it to you guys, I miss you guys so so so much. Although we are continents apart, you are always here, safe in the special place of my heart.



When you blow me kisses from that faraway land.....



....I blow some back to you....

Sorry, I emo sikit. "saje je"....

Spot the difference

Can you spot the difference

periuk-untung (sila gunakan Google Translator)

al-kisahnya, aku pulang ke KL. dan ia adalah wajib bagi kami the Ronggengs untuk melepak dan bergossip dan juga aerobik mulut (serious, Hafiz adik si Ain ingat ada excercise baru macam ni... huhuh....sengal la sungguh). mula2 plan nak buat hari khamis malam since aku balik Kedah Jumaat malam. tapi cik Eliea ada kerja la pulak. pastu awalkan ke hari Rabu malam, macam2 hal la pulak budak2 yang lain. last2 pung pang pung pang dalam email dan juga facebook, kami pun sebulat perut suara bersetuju untuk laksanakan periuk-untung pada malam 28/10/09.

mula2 janji jam 9mlm. tapi macam biasa arr.... ronggeng kan... 9.45mlm baru nak tiba. dah berlubang kena gastric juice perut aku menunggu dowh...

Ronggeng yang pertama tiba adalah the gorgeous Jenna. adoiyayy... nak aku tampal mulut dia dengan duct tape neh. mana tak nya. dia sampai depan umah aku dia pekikkannya nama aku. Jenn darling semaling, rumah beta ada doorbell sayang. sila tekan ye lain kali huhuh... tu takpe lagi, aku dah diri depan mata dia pun, dia pekiknya lagi nama aku. ishh... lepas ni nak kuar rumah, aku nak kena pakai paperbag cover muka neh. malu punya pasal X_x.

kendian nya pulak, tiba 3 dara pingitan: Eliea, Kings, & Ain. wah, mula dah sesi aerobik mulut (gelak tak henti). aku sama jenna dah pekik kelaparan. lepas set up table aku yang comel sangat neh, kami pun duduk and bermulalah sesi ronggeng kami...


sila lihat sambil terliur

ini adalah antara hidangan yang ada. sebab mereka semua carrier girls, tak sempat la nak masak. so, they brought store-bought items. aku pulak takde idea nak buat apa. so aku pun masak la "sardine masak bodo" and aku beli bread untuk makan sama sardine tu.

sedap2 tengah makan. Roz pulak tiba. dalam mail dia kata untuk periuk-untung ni, dia akan datang dengan membawa diri. haaa amik kau! memang iye pun, literally, dia bawa diri. tapi sian kat dia, baru habis klass. tu yang tak menyempat tu. bai the roti pisang (eliea, bukan i suruh you beli roti pisang ye), you amik klass apa Roz? klass ke kursus ke??? jeng jeng jeng...


cupcakes dari *wondermilk* sumbangan Jenna.

percaya ke tak, satu cupcake neh rm4.50 ok!! rm25 for 6. serious mahal! Chef Yah, jom arr kita buat macam ni. buat bisness cupcakes. bukan nyer susah pun kan. and i am pretty sure that you can do alot better than them.


dessert sumbangan Kings

and Kings brought Wall's mini poppers and apple juice as well (her favourite). aku bancuh teh-O (sila sebut 'tay-wo', sambil geleng2 kepala macam anne kat mamak) dalam kendi je. aku kan ke old school ;)


pencuci mulut lepas penat aerobic mulut sumbangan Ain.

all in all, malam itu sangat entertaining ok. we caught up with each other's life. we laughed, we seriously talked (kejap je huhuh) about some issues, we speaker called, we gossiped, and all that. memang sangat best. i love my ronggengs, and mind you, they are irreplaceable.....

p/s: hari ni semua pakat bangun awal untuk jogging. guilty dowh!! X_x

sisters are forever....

angels, you are on my mind.....


when i was in alor star i came across a housing area called "Taman Amira". then about 1 or 2 km away, i saw another housing area called "Taman Amal". the best is yet to come. approximately 15km away from Taman Amira, there is a restaurant by the name of "Restoran Alia".

see, my 2 sisters are together there in Wien and i am here in Malaysia. the distances between those three areas depicts the distance between us but we are still together in our hearts.

coincidence? meant to be? destiny? written in the heavens?

nah.....

we are just sisters. sisters that stay together forever.

i love you both endless and miss you guys like crazy ('~')

apa, coli dah murah sangat ke sekarang?

masa on the way nak keluar dari semeling, ternampak this very disturbing sight:

kalau tak perasan, itu adalah sepasang coli yang disangkut pada road sign. seriously, dah takde kerja sangat ke manusia zaman sekarang ni? and yang paling tak tahan tu, coli tu terbiar tergantung macam tu sampai dah 2 minggu lebih. gambar ini di amik oleh arul.


the 3 of us (alia, saras, arul) contemplated much and we finally decided to take the bra off the road sign. the thought of it was really executable but the actual execution was no where near easy. tetiba pula jalan yang selalunya lengang, menjadi busy. tengok arr, we waited by the road side for a good 5 mins just so that we can go and take that thing off.


bra itu diletak di dalam plastic bag and kemudian di buang.


p/s: nanti orang raya, shopping baju raya. tuan punya bra tu, terpaksa shopping coli la plak. kesian....kesian....

this is just rude and super stupid. apa la yang nak dikagumkan sangat dengan sepasang coli.

thank you roz, kings, and jenna

yesterday, i was invited by these 3 lovely ronggengs of mine to go to a meet, where young muslims gather and talk about anything and everything. roz and i were late to arrive, jenna and kings got there first. as soon as we arrived, asar was done while waiting for the others to come. right before we head for downstairs, roz said to me:

"alia, you should be thankful that nothing major happened to any of you during the accident. you should thank Allah that you are still alive. you should think, why Allah still wants you to live. what is it that you must do, what is your task as a khalifah. think about it alia and just be thankful. everything has it's hikamah"





we went downsstairs to see more people had joined us for the meet. yes, the guy sitting on the chair is an ustaz, he really does not look like one.... :). we were talking abd discussing about surahs in the Qur'an and about being a khalifah in this world.

i learned something during the meet and i thank God that i attended it.

reading surah Al-Kahf (XVIII) will calm your emotions when you are troubled by something. as soon as i can, i will read it. i need to be calm, i need to let it go but not forget it, as this is a lesson for me.

insya'Allah

mooooo..... kau dengar tak bunyi lembu tu?

hari tu, lepas interview entrepreneur kat jalan sekerat, aku dan geng aku pun berangkat ke ananda bhavan, kedai makan india kat jalan ntah apa ntah, aku pun tak tahu. aku punya tahan perut hari tu pasal nak makan roti naan dan ayam tandoori kat AB malam tu. mengikut kata kawan2 aku, the tandoori chicken and roti naan di sana memang THE BOMB!!

sesampai kat kedai, aku pun order apa aku nak. minum pun air limau ais kurang manis, nak budget la juga kan. kang minum air kosong, tak standard pulak. si arul kawan aku neh, dia memang suka dairy products. macam2 minuman ke, makanan ke, yang dibuat dari susu lembu, dia memang pasti akan lahap punya. jadi, sebagai minuman dia untuk malam tu, dia order susu lembu segar.

dia suruh aku rasa, aku pun rasa la. mmm.... got milk? sedap juga la susu segar ni. pastu arul dok cerita la yang kat belakang kedai AB tu, derang ada bela lembu. so, bila customer nak, derang akan perah susu lembu tu freshly from the cow, panaskan susu tu untuk bunuh bacteria and serve it straight away to the customer. aku punya la tak percaya. aku rasa dia nak kelentong aku. siap dia soh aku bet lagi, kalau betul ada lembu kat belakang kedai AB tu, aku kena belanja satu table (mind, satu table tu ada 5 orang, makan pun boleh tahan). kalau tak, aku punya makan, derang belanja. mula2 aku dah nak amik bet tu, tapi bila arul macam dah nak panggil anne yang kerja kat AB tu and nak tanya pasal lembu tu, aku dah mula cuak. mau kopak poket aku kalau aku kalah bet. aku tak amik bet tu, aku yakin, memang ada lembu kat belakang kedai AB.

itu adalah 2 bulan lepas.

weekend lepas, masa encik tetamu aku datang, aku bawa dia pergi makan kat AB. punya la risau dia yang tempat tu tak halal. adoiyayy encik, takkan la aku nak bawa kamu pergi makan tempat tak halal kott. chillex lerr... so, anyway, lupakan kisah tu. aku pun cerita kat encik pasal apa yang arul cerita kat aku, pasal lembu tu. encik punya la gelak kat aku, kononnya aku kena tipu la apa la. aku cakap mana ada, memang iye, ada lembu kat belakang ni, derang bela untuk susu segarnya. encik pun ngada2 perli aku: "eh, awak dengar tak?"

REd: "apa?"

encik: "bunyi lembu"

REd: "blah la!!"

lepas makan, kami pun pulang. aku masih yakin kat belakang kedai AB tu ada lembu.

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

hari ini: pergi town ngan geng baru, tapi arul masih ada dalam geng tu. aku pun buka mulut tanya budak2 lain, betul ke ada lembu kat belakang kedai AB tu.

memang jadi bahan gelak la aku tadi.

jaga kau arul!!

pung pang pung pang.....ZZZzzzzz....OMG!!!

situation: on the way back to SP from bahiyah.

vehicle: mercedes mata buta.

pilot: saras schumaki

co-pilot: alia

bosses (tuan besar la sebab duduk belakang): anita. arul.



la la la....

pung pang pung pang...

bla bla bla...

tetiba the conversation started to slow down and the sounds that are heard are from the radio and from the hum of the car. aku masih lagi tengok2 jalan. arul dah separa lentok. anita, well, anita is always somewhere else hehehehe.... saras kat sebelah aku dari high mood, tetiba senyap. kereta pun makin slow, aku diam je.

saras: "OMG, alia!!!"

REd: "what?"

saras: "aku tertido!!!"

REd: "saras, stop the car by the roadside, NOW!!"

....berhenti kereta tepi jalan, aku terus keluar to take over the wheels.

arul: "what happened??"

anita: "eh, tayar pancit lagi is it?"

gila ahhh... ada ke boleh tertido. saras kena arr sedas dua tadi. told her to sleep while aku continue the ride home. semua dah cuak dah dalam kereta tu.

yang peliknya....

tak pulak tido si saras bila jadi co-pilot.... adoiyayy.... =_="

5-8-09: dari pukul 5pg sampai 12t'hari adalah 7 jam lamanya dan macam-macam yang berlaku dalam tempoh itu.

entry ini patut dah up semalam. but sebab aku terlalu penat, jadi entry ni aku up hari ni. tapi aku akan tulis macam benda ni berlaku tadi, padahal berlaku kelmarin ok. faham tak? tak faham kalau, sila pergi tikam diri sendiri.

kelmarin.....

pagi tadi aku bangun pukul 0455hrs. aku tgk jam, aku pusing2 dan aku decide untuk tido balik. aku sepatutnya bangun pukul 0530hrs. iye la kan, nak kena siap awal dan keluar awal sebab nak travel ke bahiyah. aku pun lelap la balik. ntah macam mana, pukul 0511hours, aku tetiba je buka mata, dan apa yang aku nampak masa aku buka mata tu, aku memang terpaku....

the stalker yang kerap menghendap bilik aku, he was standing right at my window and looking at me. kali ni, aku memang nampak susuk badan dia. aku tak nampak muka dia sebab dia membelakangkan lampu. aku sangat terkejut masa tu, tak boleh nak menjerit, tak boleh nak buat apa. aku sangat takut. so, i pretended to sleep back. tapi hati aku tak tenang. aku angkat fon and buat2 macam aku call someone. bila finally alarm aku bunyi, aku terus bangun. aku cuba2 tengok kat luar, but he wasn't there anymore. yang paling disturbing tu, aku tak dengar pun bunyi dia panjat masuk and masa tu hujan. sanggup neh, dia datang pagi2 macam ni. psycho....

sekarang, tahap takut aku, aku pun takleh nak describe macam mana.

walaubagaimanapun, aku memberanikan diri keluar rumah subuh2 tu untuk pergi carpool ngan kawan2 aku. the journey started late, but smooth. hujan masih tak henti. kejap2 lebat, kejap2 renyai. tetiba, bunyi yang amat pelik kedengaran masa tengah pandu kereta tu. aku dah suspek, mesti ada masalah tayar ke apa. aku cek tayar belah aku, takde apa2. aku soh budak lain cek tayar belah derang, but they can't see. so ok... jalan lagi. makin lama makin pelik and kuat bunyi tu and kereta pun takleh nak lari walaupun dah press habis. we stopped the car, and got out.

sah, tayar pancit.

kereta saras lengkap. ada jack, ada spare tayar. so, bermula lah sesi penukaran tayar dalam hujan tu. we all tak henti2 gelak because it is just so damn funny to have this happening so early in the morning. takde kereta nak henti tolong pun. aku dah jack kereta but takleh nak buka rim cover tu. aku tak berani nak tarik kuat2, kang patah lak kan. cuba punya cuba, tetiba ada anne naik motor neh henti to lend a hand. thanks anne!!



alhamdulillah.... sampai pun bahiyah...

we were late, but we made a grand entrance. lagipun, sampai awal2 pun tak guna. doctor tak sampai lagi...huhuhh....

lepas pung pang pung pang posting kat dermatology clinic, we went to acute and emergency (bahagian kecemasan) untuk pickup our last carpooler. dia tak sudah lagi masa tu. dia punya team tengah resuscitate a patient. aku pun masuk la sekali nak tengok. lepas sorang, sorang perform CPR kat patient tu. aku pun start palpating for his pulse, aku masih rasa lagi nadi dia and he was still warm to touch. staff kat sana dah panggil medical officer untuk asses the patient. aku tengok patient tu dah tercungap2, memang literally macam nyawa2 ikan. bila medical officer datang, they stopped the CPR. no pulse felt, no heart sounds, no breathing movement, pupils are fixed and dilated. he is dead.

tapi, kat hujung2 jari aku, aku seperti masih boleh rasa denyutan nadi dia, or maybe aku terlalu berharap. aku tak nak kehilangan patient just like that. hari ini, a patient died, and i saw his death....

itu lah perkara2 yang berlaku dalam the first half of kelmarin. how was your day?

p/S: gila apa. satu hari kuar rm9 just to travel to AS. tu tak masuk duit makan lagi...

mencari jodoh zaman sekarang sama dengan mencari pasal pada bila2 zaman pun.

masa aku cuti hari tu, aku dapat gambar ini dalam forwarded email aku. it was forwarded to me by one of the ronggengs....



masa aku tengok gambar ni, aku ingat it was just an email saying that what kind of jokers are out there. aku memang dah mempunyai perasaan bahawa benda ini sangat dodgy and of course sangat bahaya. takkan la doctor nak cari pasangan hidup macam ni kan? ok la, maybe not the doctor yang nak cari sangat, it is his mom yang nak cari jodoh untuk anak dia. tapi takkan la macam ni kott? serious macam poyo pun ada juga. aku ingat ini lawak antarabangsa ke apa, untill....

"alia, we are meeting that kak puteri tomorrow. i need you to come along, i takut. takut kena pukau and that this is all a scam. i teman *Rin because dia called up and wanted to check it out. i think you'd better come along."

aku punya la terkejut that Rin actually called the number. so, i agreed to meet them kat OU the next day. sanggup neh derang amik long lunch just for this matter.

before the meet, i had a heads-up about these people that run this 'mencari jodoh' program. i got the info from *Lin. as according to them, company ni handle about 500 customers. banyak success rate, meaning the couples that they jodohkan end up in marriage. pastu, they are a trusted company.

yeah right....

and so, esoknya, aku jumpa la ngan derang kat OU, as per plan.



as soon as aku tengok muka derang, aku dah tak caya satu benda pun. kata ramai customer. the charge is rm500 for registration tau! tapi korang tau meeting kat mana? kat KFC je dowh! apa hal? pastu, aku ingat, kalau dah pung pang pung pang successful sangat company neh, takkan minum pun takleh nak belanja kott? what happened to client's best interest? takkan tak nak jaga kan?

at least, aku ada la harap, derang akan keluarkan laptop and tunjuk their profile ke apa ke. ni tak, keluarkan plastic folder tu, pastu tunjuk la keratan2 akhbar yang derang pernah appear in, as an advert. yang paling best tu, the papers that they presented, aku langsung tak pernah dengar. at least, kalau masuk "sinar" atau "harakah" pun, aku leh nak terima lagi. ni ntah apa2 paper, dari mana pun aku tak tau.

pastu, kuarkan lagi satu folder, tunjuk pulak lesen perniagaan derang. tapi yang pelik tu, the notis on the wall tak letak pulak nama company derang. nama company pun ntah apa apa ntah, takde langsung kena mengena ngan theme mencari jodoh. dalam folder yang sama, ada pulak profile wanita2 yang sedang mencari jodoh ngan derang. and paling gaudy sekali, the profiles were HAND-WRITTEN ok!! tak type, tak print. macam scrap book budak sekolah pun ada juga.



derang ni suami isteri. datang bawa anak sorang. anak tu nak makan. yang si father ni kasi duit ntah rm berapa ntah kat anak tu dengan pesanan: "nak, kau amik duit ni, kau beli apa kau nak makan. duit lebih pulang balik". lohh... kata company ada 500 pelanggan, takkan duit ciput macam tu mau berkira ngan anak sendiri kott?

aku baru duduk lima minit dalam "meeting" tu, aku dah tak suka dah. aku mmg bila tak suka neh, aku tunjuk direct je. siap aku cakap depan2 lagi. i was talking about them infront of them, i spoke in english. langsung derang tak faham. kata, customer pun orang besar2, mak datin la, dato' la. takkan tak faham english kott. everytime bila aku cakap ngan Rin, cuba nak nasihat dia supaya don't get caught into this, yang zainuddin tu mesti nak potong line aku. seolah2 tak nak kasi Rin dengar apa yang aku nak cakap. nampak sangat dia takut kan? because dia memang tahu aku tak suka kat derang neh.

lepas 30mins, aku dah tak tahan. lagipun aku nak kena balik, ada hal. aku cakap kat Rin, aku kena pergi. aku bangun, aku terus blah. takde salam2 ngan kak puteri tu, takde cakap 'excuse me' pun kat derang. aku cuma cakap bye kat Rin & Lin je. bukan aku kurang hajar, but they were the one yang tak kasi aku cakap ngan Rin kan? i guess they must be happy to see me leave.

malam tu, aku dapat tahu, Rin actually signed up for this. omg....


*nama kena tukar arr.... gila apa nak xpose.
**gambar2 derang yang aku tangkap neh, diambil secara spy leman punya style. tere tak aku?

serious rugi arr ronggeng tak ikut hari neh

lepas dah puas nature walk and mencopet buah2 kat alang sedayu, we made our way home. aku pulak membuat panggilan sebab sepatutnya ada "the meet" dengan orang itu dan family kakaknya. ntah macam mana, we made it on time to meet them. and i brought with me my plus 2, sebagai para juri. the meeting place was the newly launched kueyteow doli restaurant in brunsfiled ttdi.

omg, jen, roz, dan aku sememangnya tak dress up for the occasion ok. bau masing2 pun ada samar2 bau orang asli (eh, macam la aku pernah bau orang asli kan?). dengan baju penuh pasir, aku ngan aku nyer "wet patch" kat seluar sebab pakai swimming suit yang basah, selamba je pergi launching resto tu. arrrggghhhh lantak. kata kita selamba kan.

sampai2, we were seated at the table where they were already seated. there were so many people. order macam tak ingat, and the food kept on coming. aku tak makan sangat because i was too bz playing with the new bPod face, khalis. sangat comel kan. nasib arr dia nak kat orang.

anyway, kalau korang nak makan kat resto ni, dia nyer specality mmg la kueyteow kan. but also, do try the mee rebus or nasi ayam. dengar kata mmg sangat sedap.

we didn't see the menu, so tak tahu apa lagi boleh order.

minggu ni aja dah 3 nature outings aku pergi. tere tak? tere tak?

pada geng ronggeng, serious sayang arr korang tak pergi. sangat best ok.

tempat ni terletak kat gombak. nak cari dia agak payah but thanks to fb eco warrior group, we got the chance to go there. omg, the place is beautiful and the terrain sangat best. i wish my family likes these kind of outings, mesti aku akan bawa derang ke sana.

thanks to roz and jenna for coming along. you guys rawk!! len kali kita gi lagi k???

slumdog thousandaire (the BOH's 80th anniversary carnival story)

haaa.... amik ko! 3 hari aku tak blogging, boleh? rindu tak? sure sure rindu kan? huhuhhuh..... ok ok ... bukan apa, aku agak tidak stabil sikit semenjak 2 hari lepas. maybe sebab aku rush kott... so, sekarang dah agak stabil, meh aku cerita sikit apa dah jadi masa telematch tuh....



malam sebelum telematch tu, aku dah anxious gila dah. aku tido pukul 2pagi sebab aku tengok cerita keluarga 69. kekekekke... lawak seyy. pukul 0530pagi aku dah bangun dah. aku bangun pack semua barang aku sebab aku risau la kan, takut tak sempat lepas telematch tu, aku kena rush amik bus untuk balik kedah lak.

siap2 pagi tu, kami bertolak awal la. sebab aku tak ingat jalan nak pergi ke zoo negara. so, i took a road that was mentioned to me. main redah jek. drive pun tahap kura2 kena parkinson punya speed la. tau2, tak sampai 40mins, kami dah sampai pun kat zoo negara. awal gila lak tu. aku ingat park kat luar la kan, senang sikit nak ciao nnt. nak elak crowd and also nak elak kena bayar parking. sekali dah dpat spot baekk punya, ada lak aney ni datang: "4 ringgit" kepala batas betul! park dah la sikit punya jauh, harga still the same macam parking kat dalam. sabar2.....

so, sampai awal, kami register kat first check point. dapat tikets and participant badges. since we had time in our hands, we meronda la dalam zoo tu. tengok the animals yang dah lama tak tengok we all. derang rindu tu. cuba korang tengok baby giraffe tu, siap tersipu2 malu lagi tgk kami datang melawat dia. boleh?

jalan punya jalan, finally jumpa la tapak carnival tu. takde apa lagi. derang masih tengah set up. we were the first to arrive. so, survey la benda apa kena buat. kami dah start strategizing, who will be playing in what game. then, when the carnival unofficially began, we were given a passbook upon 2nd registration. siap dapat tikar lagi untuk picnic kat situ. mmg fun la.

the official contest started with a set of 50 Qs to be answered. i was the first to grab the folder, maklum la, kiasu maa... we had 30mins to answer all the questions as correctly as we can. the answers were all over the carnival area. we had to ask, and even begged for the answers. aku tanya kieran, aku tanya hunny, aku tanya rachel, even hubby kepada cucu J.A Russell (founder of BOH) pun aku tanya. semata2 nak dapt jawapan. when the 30mins were up, it was time for picnic lunch. tu yang best tuh. dah la lapar gila. lauk yang derang serve lak mmg sedap. masa kami tgh lunch, derang periksa the answer sheets and kira markah. out of 80 teams, only 8 will be picked. so, while still waiting, aku sama yah gi main gasing, quilla and quida main guli. main congkak la, batu seremban la... semua yang ada... semua kami cuba.

after about 1 hour of waiting, it was time for the announcement. aku dah pesan dah sama the girls. aku cakap kalau tak dapat ni, takpe la. we head back. lagipun, aku nak kena balik kedah kan. and they all agreed. kieran was holding the paper with the 8 teams, and aku cuma mampu diri sana and tunggu. sekali tengok, the first team that was called were: "team ALIA ASHA'ARI"!!! . omg... masa tu... aku punya elated, mmg takleh nak bayang la. i was so so so so damn happy masa tu.

and oh yeah, remember masa aku masuk KCK dulu? my partner, Lut, he was there. he has his own team and who knew that we were to compete against each other. but there were such darlings that they were supporting us and we were also cheering for them. and as if the universe spoke, his team too made it to the final 8.

the games were very trivial la. tapi mmg require skills. especially yang bab kena tarik teh tu. that task was given to the Chef, Yah. aku rasa, kalau i was put to do that task, i don't think i could have done any better. but she tried her best, that i knew and i was happy because out of the 8 teams, only our team was supported by the FlyFm MyVi troopers gang. gila best la. they were cheering us on. and they were dead funny.

after all the games were done, and the scores tallied, we only managed to get the consolation prize. takpe la... janji we were the final 8. tu pun aku dah happy and the main thing is, we enjoyed ourselves to the max. tapi yang paling terkejut tu, the grand prize winner was a team that was an underdog. nak kata slumdog thousandaire... haaa... ni la dia. serious tak sangka that they won. i thot that Lut's team was going to win that i even congratulated him before they annouced the winner. after the announcement, even some of the officials there made that "WTF?" look. tapi nak buat macam mana, dah rezeki orang, kita tumpang lah gembira kan?

nevermind... there is always a next time. i know the law of attraction works. berbaloi juga aku balik KL just for this ;)

and..... ACTION!!

hari ni aku kena buat case presentation. which means, instead of assisting, aku kena jadi main interviewer. aku masuk ward, aku pulak yang jadi disoriented. banyak pula new admissions. but this does not mean, that it is banyak patients for us to clerk. because most of them mmg tak stable pun.

mula2 ada satu patient macam super rela untuk aku clerk. aku tanya dia banyak kali, dia kata ok. blom sempat aku masuk ke chief complain, dia kata dia dah sudah. aku kena kencing sama pesakit mental, boleh? adoiyayy....

then, aku interview Xero. mula2 dia ok. jawap semua apa aku tanya, walaupun dia agak slow. i think it was the meds. then, lama2 sket tu, dia dah lalok la pulak. effect dari ubat that was administered to him. "pening arr doctor. nak g tido boleh?". haa.. pergi la.. pergi tido... aku rasa macam nak guling2 atas lantai. tapi aku control. kang tak silap haribulan kang, aku pulak yang kena masuk sini.

third time's a charm, bak kata orang. kata aja la. aku amik satu lagi patient yang aku tengok dia senyap je. nampak stable. ok, start arr interview. sekali interview, he talks IRRELEVANTLY and NONSTOP!! adoiyayy.... nak je aku tokak bucu meja interview tu, geram punya pasal. ntah apa yang dicakapkan oleh patient tu, aku pun tak pasti. he talks to himself. walaupun kami dah tak layan dia, he keeps on going. and he is so disoriented. but who am i to complain. esok bila dah kerja, kami bukannya boleh pilih patients kan? so, amik juga case ni.

bila doctor datang and aku berkobar2 nak present, dia kata takyah la pulak.... adoiyayy.... nak nangis air mata kucing jadinya tau dak? after all the effort and sampai tukar 3 patients, dia leh cakap takyah??? huhuhuh

we went straight to role play for history taking. that was another segment for the morning discussion. for the role play, aku jadi patient with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), AVS jadi doctor, and ASR jadi aku nyer sister. we never had any prior run thru for this scene and aku dapat cerita pun like 10mins before doctor datang. no dialogue, nothing. just us, acting out.

at the end of the scene, we were evaluated. bangga weh!! the others cakap that the way we acted was very convincing, AVS mmg macam doc, aku mmg macam patient, and ARS pun tak kurang juga. siap ada comment that we were very fluent, takde gap dalam our acting. bagus... bagus... doctor pun suka ngan kita nyer scene.

pastu, aku fikir2 arr... esok2 kalau mau venture away from jadi doctor, aku boleh la jadi pelakon dak?

ok, AFDLIN SHAUKI, MAMAT KHALID, YASMIN AHMAD, kalau nak pelakon, you know where to find me eh?

antara setan, si mati, dan cinta

hari ni pergi outing ngan yah. sangat tak tahu apa nak buat so, we decided to pergi tgk movie. kami pergi OU (mana lagi la kan?). mula2 pergi kat GSC, new wing. survey la tgk cerita apa ada. kami nak tgk "confessions of a shopaholic (ye, mmg outdated gila...), tapi the show kat GSC starts at 2345hours!! takde kerja nak tunggu macam tu punya lama. kami kat situ pun baru kul 1620hours. so, we walked over to TGV, survey tgk ada cerita apa. sedang yah tgk ada movie apa, aku nyer mata terpaku la pada trailer yang sedang playing. nampak macam gerun....



cerita ni cerita indon. tajuk dia "setan budeg", and "budeg" meaning "pekak" (pada saper yang tak cakap indon la kan). aku tgk trailer ni, aku rasa part yang dia nak kejut mayat kat morgue untuk minta tolong sebab dia tgh takut tu, aku rasa part tu sangat la kelakar, i was laughing like mad. then, yah tgh cakap apa ntah kat aku, pastu dia ciao beli ice cream. so, as i was left alone to decide nak tgk apa, aku baca la synopsis the now showing movies. sambil2 baca tu, aku tahan nak gelak...adoiyayy.... gelak teringat kat trailer hantu pekak ni. but before i burst out laughing and risk people thinking of me as crazy, i walked away. kaki jalan ke mana, mata ke mana, i nearly crashed into yah, yang tgh sibuk makan ice cream. nasib tak langgar. mau nangis guling2 dia kalau ice cream dia jatuh.

but in another note: aku nak tgk movie ni.

lepas much hesitation, we decided to go back to GSC. beli ticket and then tunggu untuk movie start. korang tau kan kat new wing tu ada arcade? aku ni bukan la gamers, but there is this one particular game yang i cannot pass.



omg... game ni la yang buat beg TIMBERLAND limited edition aku, kena curi. dengan duit2 aku, dengan I/C aku sekali kena curi. sebab apa, sebab masa tu, aku terlalu kushuk main game ni kat sunway pyramid, masa aku highschool dulu (aku tak ponteng arr... aku pergi atas pengetahuan mama, tapi kena arrange ngan driver arr, balik lambat sket... hehehe). [kalau la aku punya solat leh kushuk tahap ni, kan ke bermanfaat... adoiyayy]

so, aku main la game ni semalam. yang latest nyer. HOTD 4. korang leh tanya yah arr. i was palpitating. and aku main serious penuh semangat. sampai berpeluh2. and let me tell you, that was a good workout!! hehhe aku pun tak tahu kenapa yang aku berpeluh sangat. habis kuyup baju aku. yah pun tanya "ieee...why are you sweating like this?" ntah, aku pun takde jawapan. but i guess cause aku terlalu teruja kott main game ni. dah la lama tak main kan. some more aku pair sama abang gamers kat situ, nak kena tunjuk skill la sket. yang best tu, lepas first stage, aku dapat "excellent", abang gamers tu dapat "not bad" :8) (djambu, pinjam smiley arr). so, pada saper2 yang berkenaan (djambu puadovich), ada beran ke nak lawan?

lepas main game tu, aku tgk tangan aku menggigil. sekali fikir balik, owh, aku tgh lapar rupanya. aku pun pergi la cari sth to chow. sementara tu, yah main la game2 yang sangat takde adventure. game tinju sama game percussions.

jadi, apa la movie yang kami tgk?



movie ni. ermm.. aku suggest la kan, takyah tgk kat movies arr. lain arr kalau gi sama couple kan, then, ok la. kalau takde movie nak tgk, jgn arr choose ni. dah la lnengthy (2jam 15min), dia nyer storyline takde climax. very plateau-like. aku keep on criticizing the movie ada la. ada arr part2 yang kelakar. tapi tak banyak pun. yang best, ada scarlett johanson. i like her. i don't know what exactly about her that i like, but she's like uma thurman tau. there's sth about them that i can't point out, but i like.

after the movie, we had to rush home. yah had sth to do. tapi sempat arr singgah kat fresh mart, beli bahan sikit nak masak. sebab dah 2 malam aku janji nak masak chinese chicken stew, and malam semalam, i finally made it. chef yah kata sedap... :8) (sekali lagi djambu, pinjam ye). nak tangkap gambar pun tak sempat sebab masing2 dah lapar tahap gaban. habis arr yah makan. well, nak kata apa kan, selain dari asam pedas (kesukaan jo-ee), bubur kacang (kesukaan aku), chinese chicken stew is another one of my specialities. saper nak merasa, meh arr.

sorry aku takde recipe. sebab aku masak ikut cara nenek segamat dan arwah nenek picai aku masak: main campak aja
