MIRACLE IN CELL NO 7

Assalamualaikum and hello everybody!! How are guys doing? We are already half way through Ramadhan. Alhamdulillah and I must say, there's been a lot going on for me even though nothing really happened. pfftt Ummm to be quite honest, I'm not really being myself during the past few weeks starting from the very first week of Ramadhan. I'm not sure why, I'm contradicting myself, I'm confused, angry towards a lot of things..disappointed, felt very much abandoned by my friends..I just, I don't know. Lately, I've had severe headaches, nausea every morning..so I decided to go and have a little check on myself. I found out I had a very low blood pressure 91/56 and low pulse rate 56. It's pretty bad because I've never had low blood pressure before in my entire life. So, it's pretty daunting..

          Now, I just have to eat a lot. hahahha I seriously believe that I am losing weight more than what is supposed to. I think I just need to calm down and relax, think positively about everything that's been going on and just don't psych myself out. Hopefully. InsyaAllah

          So, last Monday, my friend suggested me a movie. She is a totally Korean freak I tell you!!!!!!!!!!!! From movies to dramas and to songs, she's into everything. Everything about Korean stuff which I guess is not something shocking these days since K-Pop has been ruling the 21st century. I on the other hand, totally (ok maybe that's a little bit harsh, drop the totally) am not into Korean stuff. I don't watch Running Man, listen to K-Pop or whatever. I do have a good reason for that. I will have a severe and I mean very bad headache if I watch one except for those which are really good then I guess I'm alright. There's actually an event to really prove my statement here.

          On a very fine Friday, my friends and I were doing an assignment together in the Korean freak house *sorry to call you that if you read this :P*. When everyone was just tired, they went and watch all these Korean music videos, dramas, sitcoms and I was forced to watch with them. After seeing all that Koreannneesss, my head was literally without a doubt having a self destruct moment and it was in the danger zone. I had to save myself from the brain destruction and went back to my place, threw up in the bathroom sink before forcingly climbed myself up into the bed to rest. It was the most outrageous and bizarre feeling ever that I will never forget!!

         Let's get back on track, so she suggested me this movie entitled MIRACLE IN CELL NO 7 which is as expected a Korean movie. She said that I will never regret watching this film because it touches on humanitarian value and the movie received third place for the box office movie for the year 2000 and above. So I thought to myself "Well, I guess I'll give it a shot..since I'm feeling like throwing up any moment now so why not? Plus, she knew that I can't take Korean movies and so on so by suggesting this movie to me, it must be pretty good".

        And so I watched it and have to say that IT IS PRETTY DAMN GOOD!! BRILLIANT!! EXCELLENT!! It's funny and sad at the same time, it touches on a lot of values in a short period of time. To me, the plot might be a little bit predictable but if the movie is that good, so WTH. LOL the movie really has help me loosen up a little bit and it is my great honour to share it with all of you.Hope you guys enjoy watching it as much as I did. You might get teary, shed a few tears or 2 but what the heck. hahahha enjoy peeps ;)

7 CARA MUDAH KEMPISKAN PERUT BUNCIT

Ramai yang mungkin sedar perubahan fizikal badan mempengaruhi cara pembawakan diri seseorang apabila berdepan dengan orang ramai. Perubahan fizikal seperti ‘perut buncit’ kadang-kadang membuatkan seseorang itu berasa malu atau tidak mempunyai keyakinan diri apabila ingin menonjolkan diri di khalayak ramai. Bukan itu sahaja, perut buncit juga merupakan tanda awal kepada pelbagai jenis penyakit berbahaya.

 

Malah, apabila tidak mempunyai fizikal yang menarik seperti artis atau pembina badan, mungkin akan membuatkan individu itu berasa lebih tersisih dan berfikir negatif setiap masa. Pun begitu, terdapat cara yang sesuai untuk lelaki mahu pun wanita untukmengatasi masalah mempunyai perut buncit. Tidak salah untuk mencubakan? Antara cara-cara untuk mengempiskan perutadalah:

 

1. Minum Air Masak Yang Banyak.
Apabila tubuh badan kita menerima sumber air yang banyak, keadaan itu akan mencairkan kuantiti sodium dalam tubuh badan sehingga membolehkan kuantiti air yang keluar dari tubuh badan juga meningkat. Mendapatkan jumlah air yang banyak juga akan menjaminkan fungsi hempedu yang lebih efektif sewaktu proses pembuangan air berjalan dengan lancar.

 

2. Makan Perlahan-lahan.
Ketika menjamah makanan, kita tidak digalakkan makan dengan cepat kerana udara akan terkepung di dalam usus dan seterusnya membentuk gas yang menggalakkan perut menjadi perut buncit. Makanan yang tidak dikunyah sehingga kecil juga tidak dapat dicerna dengan sempurna yang seterusnya menyebabkan proses kembung perut berlaku.

 

3. Kurangkan Garam Dalam Makanan.
Terlalu banyak garam dalam proses diet akan menambah ekstrak sodium terhadap cairan dalam tubuh dan melambatkan mekanisme proses pengeluaran air dari sel badan. Akibatnya, perut akan menjadi kembung dengan gas-gas yang terbentuk. Lama kelamaan, perut buncit pun boleh berlaku.

 

4. Makan Makanan Yang Penuh Serat.
Ramai yang mungkin sedar perubahan fizikal badan mempengaruhi cara pembawakan diri seseorang apabila berdepan dengan orang ramai. Perubahan fizikal seperti ‘perut buncit’ kadang-kadang membuatkan seseorang itu berasa malu atau tidak mempunyai keyakinan diri apabila ingin menonjolkan diri di khalayak ramai. Bukan itu sahaja, perut buncit juga merupakan tanda awal kepada pelbagai jenis penyakit berbahaya (LINK).

Serat adalah elemen yang penting dalam piramid makanan. Untuk mengimbangi kuantiti air dalam tubuh badan, amalan memakan sayur-sayuran hijau dan buah-buahan seperti epal dan pear dapat membantu dalam proses penjagaan dari mendapat penyakit perut buncit ini.

 

5. Kesan Pengambilan Ubat.
Terdapat juga kajian yang dilakukan mengatakan, pengambilan pelbagai jenis ubat-ubatan menjadi salah satu punca perut menjadi perut buncit. Sebagai contoh, ubat Aspirin yang terlalu kerap di ambil akan menyebabkan timbulnya penyakit lain seperti sembelit.

 

6. Hindari Sembelit.
Sembelit berlaku apabila seseorang itu mengalami masalah dalam pembuangan danhanya membuang tidak lebih dari tiga kali seminggu. Sebagai akibat dari penyakit ini, perut akan mengumpul gas-gas yang berlebihan dan merangsang isi perut mengumpul lemak-lemak yang boleh menyebabkan kekembungan dan perut buncit. Oleh itu, pengambilan serat adalah digalakkan.

 

7. Lakukan Senaman atau Bersukan.
Bersukan sebanyak tiga kali seminggu dapat membantu meningkatkan kadar metabolisme dalam tubuh badan yang bagus untuk pembakaran dan pemecahan lemak.Bersukan akan membantu menggerakkan cairan berlebihan dalam perut dan dikeluarkan dari tubuh badan sebagai peluh. Ini seterusnya akan mengekalkan bentuk badan seseorang yang sesuai dengan ketinggian dan berat badan.

 

FREEDOM OF CHOICE

I am captivated and fascinated when reading a verse from the surah Ibrahim. It's clear cut and wounded you deeply or maybe it wounded me deeply.

"And the Shaitan shall say after the affair is decided: Surely Allah promised you the promise of truth and I gave you promises, then failed to keep them to you and I had no authority over you except that I called you and you obeyed me. Therefore, do not blame me but blame yourselves: I cannot be your aider (now) nor can you be my aiders; surely I disbelieved in your associating me with Allah before; surely it is the unjust that shall have the painful punishment"
(14:22)

       I think without me having to further explain what this verse means, all of you can think for yourselves. We are living in a world full of deceit, lies, hatred and what more only God knows. We all have a choice. It's always there. Options. But sometimes our judgement are blurred and hazy with all the temptations this world have to offer. I always feel ashamed of myself for the wrong doings that I have done, did and will do. Why do we keep falling for the same dark trap over and over and over again? Why do we always repeat the same mistakes? Why do we always do things that we all know will make Allah displeased with ourselves? I can't answer them for you. You know the answer.

      But one thing for sure, Allah never abandoned us. He always there to help us, to guide us. He sent all of his Messengers especially just for us to see which is good and which is bad. It takes more to just open your eyes to see the truth, it requires an open mind and an open heart too. But do we do the same for Him? Never abandoned Him?

       A few days ago, I went out with my friends to watch movie together. The movie starts at 1.50 pm and will end at around 3.30pm, obviously it was during the Zohor prayer time. We reached the cinema around 1.40pm. So, at that moment I have a choice whether to go and carry out my duty as a Muslim to pray to Allah first or go watch the movie and would hurriedly go to the surau after the movie ended. I actually really really want to watch this movie from beginning starting with all the unnecessary advertisement and cheezy messages you get in the cinema afraid to miss all that tiny parts when I would actually missed out on praying on time and get Allah blessings and rahmat, which is a way bigger rewards. But stupidly, I lost to temptation and heads to the cinema first. As a result, I was on the edge on my seat, impatiently waiting when the movie will end...

       There are many more examples like playing games, cover your aurah completely, boyfriend/girlfriend thingy....they all seems pretty nice but are they the right choices for you? Sometimes, we know that thing is wrong but yet because of the pleasure that we gained from it we tend to look past all the sins that we have collected from it or maybe all the advices that our friends tried to deliver to us. 

INTERESTING STORY OF THIS WORLD

Many people asks, "If God existed then why so much war, so much pain, so much hate, so much despair?"
Because to establish mankind as one of His most prized creations, He blessed man with what is one of His biggest gifts and yet His biggest responsibility...Do you know what is the GIFT?FREEDOM OF CHOICE.. when you understand the value of such a responsibility, you will never ask such a question. It's time we start taking responsibility for our actions and any possible outcomes that come with it.

WHETHER YOU ARE INVESTING IN GOOD OR BAD, YOU ARE DEFINITELY CHANGING THE FUTURE. WHAT TYPE OF FUTURE ARE YOU BUILDING? 

 

TRUE MAN, TRUE WOMAN

Well, a few days ago I posted something on my Facebook page. Actually I had the idea of posting that thing a long time ago but there was something holding me back.

POSTED: A true man is a man that can kopek durian and tukar tayar kereta!! Practice guys practice

Before I posted this, I knew that there will be some person or someone would ask me back, "What makes a true woman then?" That question was the one very thing that hold me back. Why? Because I never really knew what the answer was, is and could be. I thought about it for a few days, a lot of answers came across this getting slower and slower mind of mine everyday but none of the answers seem right, well in a way they are true/right but somehow deep inside you know they're not, you know that there are much more than just "that". But I just went ahead and do it. Taking my chances of the very slightest idea that the question will popped out and it turns out, my so-called premonition was true as it always has....

          So, I decided not to answer the question or you can say delay it until I can get a definite answer on that. I could have never imagined that today is going to be that day when it finally came without me even realising it. Sneaky as a well-trained ninja. hahahha well, just ignore that.

         Some of the answers that I thought was cooking, which is a definite YES. I bet anyone would have figured that out, pfftt but then, you don't really need to be a woman just to be great at cooking. I mean, almost more than 50% of chefs in the culinary world is a guy so wouldn't it be that actually guy has more talent in cooking than girls are? Then, I thought about house-cleaning but then duhhh too general. How about a true woman is a woman who can love her family unconditionally? Nahh, too lame. I sounded very old just reading it back.

        I was in a very unstable roller-coaster emotional mode just a few hours ago and it hit me. A TRUE WOMAN IS A WOMAN WHO CAN ENDURE GREAT PAIN AND STILL GIVE OUT A BIG SMILE. Well, is just what I think..you see, women actually are very vulnerable. Some may seem so tough on the outside but they are actually very brittle in the inside. With the very slightest touch it could break any moment. For many decades and centuries, in ancient times women were treated as if they are nothing, worthless and lifeless. They were killed brutally for various purposes and beaten to pulp. Now, the same thing still happens but much more less. Selfishly, I say we are a great lover. When we love somebody, we will love them dearly and if get the chance we won't let them go that easily. We still stick around in the house even though our husband is a real-life bomb just because he is our husband and we love him, we still there for our children whenever they are in great pain, needed someone to hold on to even though, they never visit us anymore when they grow old, never give us a call, never give us money when they are actually full of it just because they are our children and we love them. Regardless of how many boys/guys lie to us, cheated us, tricked us we still stick around just because we love them.

        Plus, we are great listeners. We listen patiently to every single and sometimes unimportant detail of your very called "troubled" life when we already have stacks of them carried around on our shoulders everyday. We keep your secrets as if they are our very own soul. Most importantly, I must say the pain that every mom have to endure when delivering her child is the greatest pain of all and it is incomparable. After all of that happened, we still put on a big great smile knowing and hoping that time will eventually heal all the pain and all the scars that occurred along the way.

      But not all women are like this. I would be lying to you and to myself if I say everyone of us is like this. And plus, it's just my point of view....what's yours??

P/S: I'm not sure why but throughout writing this post Maroon 5 song entitled She Will Be Loved kept playing in my head for some unknown reason....I wonder why.

TRUST

So just a few hours ago I had a conversation with my dad. Well, it was not actually a conversation, it's more like a story that my dad told..oh wait, it's not definitely a story it's a disappointment. Yeah, disappointment and regrets.

DAD: Emmm...org tu tak angkat2 lagi sampah kat depan rumah tu.
ME: Sampah apa??
DAD: Alah, semalam kan potong pokok kat depan rumah tu. Pastu depa letak kat depan mcm tu je. Kata nak ambik hari ni. Haram. Tulah dah bayar penuh pastu x buat kerja sampai habis..lari mcm tu je.
ME: Dah abah bayar habis, biasalah tu lari mcm tu je. Dia dah dpt apa yang dia nak. Patutnya abah bayarlah dia separuh dulu. Separuh lagi dpt kalau kerja dah siap nnt..
DAD: Abah dah terfikir dah nk buat mcm tu tp takut nnt dia kata abah x percaya dia lah pula. Sebab tulah abah byr penuh terus kat org tu. Nak kata abah ni percaya kat dia lah
ME: Well, it's business. You gotta do what you gotta do.
DAD: Tahu. Just abah x nak dia tu fikir abah tak percayakan dia
ME: Tapi abah, sape je percaya kat sape sekarang ni
DAD:........WALKS AWAY....


I was actually quite surprise I even said that. Yeah, I mean when you thought about it back, whom do you actually trust? Truly trust in this world. Well, it's a thought that I had for tonight. A simple thought that will keep me pondering and searching for the answer all my life....I guess..

REMEDI SELESEMA

Gejala selsema sudah pasti membuatkan anda berasa tidak selesa dan tidak senang duduk. Sama ada disebabkan cuaca yang tidak menentu ataupun virus yang menjangkit, gejala selsema sudah tentu akan mengganggu aktiviti harian anda.

Selain mengamalkan kesemua petua ini, jenis pemakanan yang anda ambil juga perlu dititikberatkan. Berikut antara 10 jenis makanan yang boleh anda ambil ketika gejala selsema menyerang anda:

1. Ais krim batang
Aiskrim boleh melegakan sakit, rasa gatal, bengkak, atau kering pada tekak. Ia juga membantu mengekalkan anda terhidrat, yang menganggu anda apabila berhadapan gejala selsema. Mendapatkan air yang secukupnya dapat membantu mengurangkan masalah hidung tersumbat. Cari aiskrim batang yang diperbuat daripada 100% jus buah-buahan untuk memastikan anda mendapat nutrien yang penting dan bukannya air gula. Beberapa perisa seperti epal, anggur, atau strawberi boleh dicuba.

NOTE: Totally true!! Full proof true :D Ada satu masa dulu tgh mcm nk demam pastu time2 tu lah ada class dinner. Mula2 mcm nk control mkn yelah tgh demam tp bila dah sampai kat restoran tu terbeliak biji mata. Bye2 healthy food and welcome AISKRIM!! hahahha tulah benda pertama yang saya sebat. Bukan satu scoop terus 3..hambik kau. Pastu, mmg meleleh air hidung, the one that becomes really runny..yeah. It was gross and you fell kinda dizzy after that but you'll get through!

2. Sandwich Turki
Ayam belanda adalah pilihan terbaik, ia merupakan makanan yang mengandungi protein tanpa lemak. Sekalipun anda tidak menyukai rasanya, namun makanan ini membantu membekalkan tenaga dalam badan untuk melawan penyakit.

NOTE: Sekalipun anda tidak menyukai rasanya!!!??? What the...??? hahhahha Never had turkey, how it taste like?

3. Jus Sayur-sayuran
Selain salad, segelas jus sayur-sayuran yang rendah natrium rendah akan membekalkan anda dengan imun-merangsang antioksida dan mengekalkan diri anda dari terus terhidrat.

4. Sup Ayam
Berkhasiat dan menghidratkan, terdapat juga beberapa bukti saintifik bahawa sup ayam boleh membantu untuk menyembuhkan dan mempunyai kesan anti-radang yang sederhana. Kajian telah mendapati bahawa sup ayam panas dapat meningkatkan keupayaan silium, rerambut kecil pada bahagian rongga hidung, untuk melindungi badan daripada bakteria dan virus.

NOTE: Urmmm..drpd mkn sup ayam baik makan nasi ayam terus.

5. Bawang putih
Untuk itu, bawang putih merupakan pilihan yang baik bagi menyediakan hidangan seperti sup. Ia mempunyai ciri-ciri antimikrob dan imun-merangsang serta boleh memberi kelegaan bagi masalah hidung tersumbat.

NOTE: Yeay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GARLIC!!! I'm in love with you

6. Halia
Sakit perut? Loya? Halia adalah yang sering digunakan untuk melegakan gejala-gejala ini. Beberapa kajian menunjukkan ia boleh membantu melawan keradangan.

7. Roti Bakar
Roti bakar antara makanan yang mudah apabila melawan penyakit. Tambahan pula roti bakar bersama dengan mi sup ayam boleh mengembalikan selera makan anda.


NOTE: YEAY!! ROTI!!! I'm lovin it

8. Pisang
Pisang merupakan makanan yang berkesan terhadap gejala selsema, loya, muntah dan cirit-birit. Pelbagaikan hidangan anda berserta dengan beras, sos epal dan roti bakar.

NOTE: Banana!!?? banana...??


9. Teh Panas
Teh hijau membantu melawan penyakit antioksida. Bernafas dalam wap terutamanya berasaskan teh boleh membantu melegakan hidung tersumbat. Campurkan sesudu madu dan perahan limau untuk membantu melegakan sakit tekak. Jika kafein mengganggu anda, pilihlah bebas kafein atau versi herba.

10. Minuman Gantian Hidangan
Jika selera makan anda telah kembali, cuba minuman gantian untuk mendapatkan nutrien dan kalori yang betul. Cari minuman bebas laktosa dengan sekurang-kurangnya 6 gram protein dan rendah gula. Perisa seperti strawberi dan coklat memiliki vitamin, nutrien dan kalori yang lebih banyak.

HALF-LIFE: REAL LIFE WALKTHROUGH

Ok. So, right now I started playing this game called Half-Life. Not the second, third or so on...it's the first. That means, it's form the 1998 game. Well, you might say it's lame and I'm not going to argue with you guys about that but it's fun. It's sort of like playing Resident Evil *FYI it's my favourite!!!!!* Except that Half-Life deal with aliens whilst RE with zombies!! Isn't it great?? And I think it's more laid back kinda game rather than playing RE because RE you have to like really really use your brain to solve some wait not some but many puzzles along the way plus with all the shocking zombies lurking in every corner and you have limited limited inventory which you can carry around. Half-Life is great in terms of you don't really have to sort your things out, what to carry and what not to carry because they don't give a thought about doing so and what's more awesome is that you can found health pack or machine almost everywhere! HEEEEE *big smile*

           Well, I'm not here to tell you about all of these stuff. If you wanna know, better play it for yourself. Give it a try, you'll love it!! Hopefully...
Now let's get back to the real business. Emm, ok maybe I should give you some insight about what the game really is about: Half-Life. So, in every level of this game, you will meet a few people mostly in general you will meet the guards and scientists. Your main purpose or should we say your objective is to get to the surface and save everyone's life and tell the people on the surface to help out. Everytime when I meet scientists or guards I would ask them to follow me but if they refuse so, let them be. They wanna die alone so be it. But what makes me kinda shock about the whole thing is when I read a few walkthrough on this game, most of the walkthrough said that: "you should kill the scientist because he will meet a terrible fate later on after all" or "the scientist serve no purpose so just kill him" or "you kill the guards to get gun ammo". Seriously??!!

            Let's just picture this in real life. Don't tell me that you're just going to kill a person because they serve no purpose to you and you want to take his gun for protection and his ammo??? Whoa, ok. Maybe right now you're thinking that I'm being too paranoid *maybe* and hey, relax it's just a game. Well, to me whatever you are doing all these small and possibly not important things are actually important. I do believe that these small little details in life will make a huge impact on your view of life and thus your personality in total. This is for me, a way of actually beribadah kepada Allah. Funny right but it's true. I actually learn a lot of things while playing video games. It's like why are you eating? Because you are just hungry? Because your stomach is growling? Why not you change all of that into, if I eat, I'll gain a lot of energy and when I have the energy I can help my parents do the chores or I can solat with more enthusiasm and not just feeling that I have to do it. Get it?

          Therefore, *perghh* ehm, take everything a little bit serious in everything you do or should I say, do everything with the right purposes. In the game, everyone knows you. They even say, "Oh you're still alive Gordon!! Thank goodness" and "hey, Gordon nice to see you" and then, you just going to kill them? Even if you know what will happen to them later on that they will die because aliens will kill them and deliciously eat them still you don't really have the rights to kill them. In real life, it would be like backstabbing your friends because you just want to save your sorry little arse? You certainly do not want their last memory to be you killing them, wouldn't it? It would be just too horrible I say.

          That's all. hehhehhe. Value your friendship with your friends and treasure it. Help each other out in difficult situations. Isn't that what true friends are all about?

2 FACE?

Ok. This post might be a little bit bias or very much bias you might say, but hey it's the truth and it's been bugging me for the last few days after knowing some BIG NEWS about this person.

         To start off, I don't even really know this guy. I just knew him from a good friend of mine which we met like 7 years ago via online and we've never meet. Up until now but still we contact with each other. That's the beautiful thing I guess of being a pan-pal. Back to the topic, umm so I knew this guy right, not intentionally though because my friend or should we labelled my friend as A suddenly wanted to introduce him to me. Not because she *oh, I forgot to mention that this friend of mine is a girl* wanted to match-make me with this guy, it's just because I think that time they were dating with each other. So, she wanted to introduce her boyfriend to me. And from there, we (the guy and I) chatted with each other for like a few times. Then, if I could still remember they broke up because the guy was dating with a Chinese girl. Urghh,,

         Let's just fast-froward things a little bit. So, when I've finished my SPM and later got an offer to further my study in a college (not going to tell you which college just for confidentiality) I was so shocked because that guy is going to the same college too. Surprise surprise. Honestly, I'm not really fond to meet him because of the way he's been treating A and all of the other inappropriate behaviour I've been informed about him. And I didn't even tell A that we were going to the same college. But then of course A knows about it and told me. She was sooo superly excited for me to meet this guy which is totally the opposite way for me.

         So, knowing that sooner or later I'm going to meet him of course I did a little stalking to know what he looks like. It's not like I don't know how he looks like from all the pictures A sent me, it's just that that pictures were like a long time ago and yeah,  how can I say this: All of us changed in some way or the other when growing up. Especially boys. What I was kinda furious was that A gave my phone number to that guy!!! ARGHHHH!!! She say so that we can meet and talk.

        The first message that he sent me sounded very cliche and I know that he was trying to tackle me in some ways and not going to lie, I almost fell into the trap just because he has the face. He was quite handsome. Of course, he looks like a Chinese and a Malay more to Chinese I must say. hahahhaha stupid me. Then, he tried to convince me to join a martial arts club because he knew that I was into it the same way he was. But I refused because my class schedule overlap with the club's training hours.

        Then, that guy's flirting started to flourish like a flower bloom on the first spring day. I tried not to go crazy heads over heels with him because I knew that the fact he was an ex of A which will be a total break of my hard and strong principles to do not have any relationship with any of my friends ex-es and on top of all, I knew what he was like. I mean really really what he was like. So, I just bare with all the flirting all the way through for a few months. Then, until one day I found out that he was already engaged to someone and worst of all that someone is MY FRIEND!!!! At that moment, I had mixed feelings which overall could be summed up into WHAT THE H**L!!! I dunno what to say. I was flabbergasted. I asked my friend when did they got engaged and she said umm.."It was like early sem 2". And all this time when he was engaged, he still sent me all those weird flirty messages!!??? Shame on him. After knowing the truth, I unfriend him from facebook and did not reply any of his messages anymore. It was too painful to even see his face after that. I was purely feeling a little sympathy towards my friend who got engaged with him and just kept my mouth shut and deep down inside I truly hope that he would change for the better of his fiancee.

         5 months later, they broke up. He's the one who called off the engagement. To my surprise, I sort of knew that it would happen. It's not me hoping that their engagement would be cancelled off but knowing him...huh. Needless to say, my friend was totally heartbroken. And now what pisses me off, he is growing popular. Not in a bad way but in a good one. He has become one of the most powerful and most influential dai'e boys in the college. It pisses me off when people keep saying to me how good he is, how nice he is, how futuristic he is, how husband like he is, how this and how that he is. But the truth is deep down, he's not. I tried to convince myself that probably he has changed. Totally not the same person as he was before but the idea of just thinking all the good deeds that he has done to other people is just so hard for me to accept. Maybe I'm just being too judgmental. And probably because I still know all his wrong-doings up until now......

         Well, what I'm trying to say here is that it is actually really hard to maintain your integrity. People might not really thought about it but once you've tainted your image to anyone, well let's just say bye bye to regain it back to the state where it was once a pure white. But maybe for his case, I do know a few people just like him so it's pretty hard for me to except the good change in him. Ya Allah, terangilah hatiku ini Ya Allah janganlah engkau bagi aku perasaan hasad dengki, jgnlah engkau biarkan diriku ini mengaibkan saudara seIslam ku ya Allah..maafkanlah perbuatan aku ini ya Allah...

A NEW BEGINNING

Today marks a new beginning to a perfect ending. Yesterday was the official day for "all business to be completed" in INTEC and most probably I would not set foot in INTEC anymore after this maybe except for visiting and most importantly taking my a-level results.

          19th June 2013, was the last day of the examination. The papers for that week was the hardest among all the papers set not to mention, others were pretty much equally hard. Right after the exam, I could see how everybody's face was lighten up as if they were back from the dead and I mean literally from the dead. We had the a-level exam for 1 1/2 month. Talk about disaster. But I don't know, some part of me was pretty sad. Maybe because the idea of finally leaving INTEC and finally finishing the so-called "disastrous and horrendous" a-level and most probably the fact that I would not see all those familiar loving and kindly faces anymore. Not all of us are taking the same course you know and if we do, not all of us will go to the same place for our degree.

            I proudly say that 2 years in INTEC is a worth of 2 years of my life being spent. I gained a lot of experiences along the way, do the things that I always wanted to do but never got the chance to do it during my high school years, met so many type of people from the geekiest to the most awesome and respectable people I have come across EVER in my entire life.

           The few last days before we have to do our clearance was like a HURRICANE!! I thought after finishing the exam, my life would be perfectly normal again but oh boy, how I was so wrong. It was so much worst. My housemates and I, didn't get the time or didn't have the chance to take a bath properly like we were used to, sometimes even worst we didn't even take a shower FOR A DAY!! Well, at least it was for a day cuz living in Shah Alam pheww, one day no shower is like one week!! It was hot hot hot. There were so much things to be done and within so little time given to us. We felt really tired, not enough sleep even when attending the A-LEVEL GRAND DINNER, I was practically like a zombie..rushing here and there but still managed to gather myself up together and look perfectly fine only on the outside.

             I only had the time to pack my things on Saturday evening and continue doing so till Sunday morning. With a few breaks from time to time of course. hehheehe....as all of my housemates have bid their goodbyes, leaving me "not really alone" in the house, I started to realise all the things that I would really miss:

1. Play shooting games at the Ole-ole arcade
2. Fighting with my roommate to where we should eat every evening
3. Catch all the endemic species that came into our room...and they were all SO FUN!!
4. The long walk in the morning from INTEC bus to my class
5. Watching the special kids at the Sekolah Pendidikan Khas play and getting bullied every weekend through my room's windows
6. My "gila-gila" classmates
7. Awesome lecturers

THE APCC MISSION PROJECT: PART 2

DAY 2: 

Hari ni hari kedua aktiviti APCC. Aktiviti pada hari ni boleh dikatakan lagi relax and santai drpd semalam sbb x memerlukan banyak pergerakan (ok, cam pelik je bunyi tu..) Maksudnya, hari ni x payah nk berjalan banyak. Kalau semalam, balik rumah macam nk terbakar kaki. hehehhe. So, what happened today??

         Today we have the privilege to go to one of the best school in Ipoh which is SMJK SAM TET. Upon reaching the school, I would say that the welcoming celebration is pretty grand. I'm amazed myself. Kami telah disambut oleh "pink" dragon sekolah Sam Tet, the brass band and tabik hormat oleh PBSM sekolah tersebut.

 

        Selepas itu, macam biasa ada ucapan alu-aluan dari Pengetua Sekolah Sam Tet, ucapan wakil dari konvoi Jepun, which in this case is Mr.Takahide Kuwano (he's not a student but the leader of the group). Then, kami dibawa utk melihat sedikit sesi pengajaran dan pembelajaran Tingkatan 6. hahhaha yang paling lawaknya, ada pula video lagu Maroon 5 Payphone tapi lyrics pasal transition elements. Macam pelik sikitlah time tu. Oh, lupa pula diorang juga ada buat experiment chemistry kecil-kecilan macam experiment vitamin C, neutralisation, experiment pasal Rf value and macam2 lagilah. Biasalah being me, mmg banyk soalan lah yang ditanya. Kesian pulak rasanya kat students2 yg buat experiment tu. Kelam kabut nk jawab :P sorry ye...

           And then ada jamuan ringan. After that, kami dihidangkan dgn persembahan seni mempertahankan diri - taichi, wushu, lions dance, dragon dance and 24 drums. Habis tu persembahan muzik pula - symphony orchestra, chinese orchestra, choir and brass band. Bila semua persembahan dah habis ada sesi penyampaian cenderamata and majlis bersurai.

24 DRUMS....saya sendiri pun x sure nape nama dia 24 drums, nmpk drums tu ada 9 je. Emm, maybe drums lain tgh ambik cuti kot :P

Chinese Orchestra

Dragon Dance

Aktiviti di sekolah Sam Tet mungkin dah habis tapi lepas tu kitaorang pergi....................................................IPOH PARADE!! wuhuuu main BOWLING!! Tapi sebenarnya rasa amat sedih lah time main bowling tu. Sebabnya saya kena main dengan the 3 leaders from Japan - Mr. Takahide Kuwano, Ms. Yuki Nonaka and Ms. Akiko Watanabe. Masa practice tu, Mr. Takahide aka Mr. Surf, asyik masuk longkang je bola dia. Samalah macam saya so rasa cam lega sikitlah sbb ada geng. Rupa2nya bila dah start game....PERGHH PERGHH PERGHH hebat gilerzzz!!! Markah depa semua 100++++, yang saya ni...20++ je. Loser giler but nonetheless they are very supportive and it was a great fun to play bowling with them ^_^ Enjoy sangat!!

"WE ARE THE WINNERS OF TODAY!!! WEEE"

THE APCC MISSION PROJECT: PART 1

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.// Salam Sejahtera// Yutakana Oiwai (entah betul entah tidak...hehehhe)

Saya rasa amat bertuah sangat pada tahun 2013 ini kerana telah dijemput untuk menghadirkan diri bagi memeriahkan program + melibatkan diri + menyemakkan diri (eh, tipu je tu) dalam program "THE APCC MISSION PROJECT 2013 ITINERARY FOR IPOH, MALAYSIA" oleh pihak Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh (MBI) yang diadakan selama seminggu. Tetapi disebabkan saya ni tak berapa nk free..hahahha perasan je tu, menipu byk ni..haizz..so, saya pun hanya boleh menghadirkan diri utk 3 hari sahaja. Sob sob..oh kejap. Korang tahu x apa bnda APCC tu?? Haaaa....kalau nk tahu, pi cari sendiri. Malas den nk menerangkannya di sini.

         So, basically this programme is about exchanging students from Fukuoka to Ipoh and from Ipoh to Fukuoka. Ha, special x?? Of courselah special sbbnya Ipoh and Fokuoka ni twin cities!!! Weee..ada je programme students dari Malaysia pergi ke Jepun yg dipanggil GENESIS kot kalau x silap. TAPI apa kan daya, disebabkan saya ni x de nk terlibat dgn bnda2 itu, maka tak bolehlah menerangkannya lebih lanjut di sini. The total number of Japanese students that came for this programme is around 15 about the age 12-16!!

DAY 1:

OK. Jadi hari ni hari first saya join activity diorang ni...well, what can I say, AWKWARD!! hahah biasalah saya ni pemalu orangnya (konon). Awkward mula2 jelah, lepas tu apalagi huhahuha lah jawabnya :P Tapi x delah nk segan sangat sbbnya bersama dgn adik2 yang comel-comel belaka. Cuma satu jelah, depa ni semua pemalu sesangat-sangat. Nk ajak sembang pun agak susah..

        Aktiviti pertama, pergi ke GOPENG HOMESTAY. Adik2 comel Jepun + Malaysia kita ni semua kena naik bas yang dah disediakan oleh MBI, yang orang "besar2" semua naik van. Reasonnya, first sebab bas dah x muat (muahahhaa), second sbb bas x boleh masuk dlm perkampungan Gopeng jadi half-way trip, semua budak2 yang naik bas tu kena tukar naik.....LORI!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha, ambik kau. Macam human trafficking dah gaya. JUAL JUAL SATU 15000 yen, yang mana putih2 gebu + pipi gemuk up lagi harga. hahaha Jalan raya ke rumah homestay tu sgt x sekata org putih sebut bumpy road. Kitaorang yang naik van ni pun dah macam apa dah dlm tu, apatah lagi depa yang kat atas lori tu dgn cuaca panas teriknya..hanya tuhan saje yg tahu. Sebelum sampai ke homestay, buat persinggahan dulu kat ladang getah.

Wahhhh...ini ke pokok getah?? Hebat2

You have my full respect uncle!! Hebat giler pak cik ni speaking BI, kalau exam IELTS ni mahunya dpt band 9. CAYALAH PAK CIK ;)

Bila tibanya di homestay Gopeng tu, kami disambut dengan paluan kompang, ada budak2 kecil bawak bunga mangga lagi. Macam nk kahwin dah rasanya..*blushing* and of course x lengkaplah kan upacara menyambut tetamu tanpa pertunjukan silat. Kat homestay ni ada buat macam2 aktiviti eg belajar tarian tradisional Melayu, belajar mcm mana nak buat mini bakul, buat bedak sejuk, and macam2 lagilah.

TARIAN TRADISIONAL MELAYU - adik2 pakai baju pink tu tgh tunjuk macam mana nak menari tarian tradisional melayu...tapi nampak gayanya wanita yg bertudung purple itu aka boss besar saja yg dpt tangkap. Orang2 Jepun especially yg lelaki belah kanan tu aka leader mereka tahu nk menari tapi menari dgn added flavour made in Japan punye lah

CARA2 NAK BUAT BAKUL MINI MENGGUNAKAN SURAT KHABAR

YUKI dari kiri tgh ajar adik2 dari Jepun mcm mana nak menganyam bakul *master tuu*

Lepas habis buat aktiviti kat homestay ni and selepas habis menjamu selera, kami pun bergerak ke GUA TEMPURUNG!!! Yang naik lori still naik lori lagi...muahahha

DARI KIRI: RUI, RIO AND FAIZ ^_^

 Masa masuk dalam Gua Tempurung, terdengar perbualan 2 org budak lelaki (umur 12):
BOY A: Wey, gf tu apa huh?? Girlfriend eh?
BOY B: Ha'ah..gf tu girlfriend.
BOY A: Ooohh, eh kau ada gf x?
BOY B: x de..
BOY A: Tipu ah...aku x caya!! Kau mesti dah ada kan??
BOY B: Mana ada!!! Tp insyaAllah bila aku dah besar nnt aku akan ada..
BOY A: Ye ke?
BOY B: Ha'ah. Yelah sekarang ni kan kita kecik lagi...buat apa nak cinta2 ni. Tu semua CINTA MONYET!! Mana boleh pakai. Mengarut je semua tu
BOY A: Habis tu kau nk ada gf time umur kau berapa?
BOY B: Bila aku dah 20 nnt ah. Time tu baru cinta betul.

*ketawa kecil + terkedu bila terdengar perbualan ni...kids with their imagination n ambition...tibe2 terasa pulak time tu. oppss*

Masa nak keluar dari Gua Tempurung, jln sekali dgn En.Suhaimi. Tiba2...
EN. SUHAIMI: Hah, Awak x nak ke tulis nama boyfriend awak kat dinding gua ni. Ni byk nama ada kat sini
ME: *terkejut* huh?? Nak tulis nama bf?? Buat apa??
EN. SUHAIMI: Eh, x nak ke? Ke tempat ni x standard nak tulis nama bf awak kat sini? hahaha
ME: hahahhaha *hanya mampu tertawa*

Tiba2 terasa Gua Tempurung ni dah jadi Gua Kisah Cinta pula ni. :) 

THE END. Itu je tempat2 yg sempat dilawati hari ni...esok ada lagi so kena tunggu!! ;)

THINGS THAT I'VE LEARNED TODAY
1) Open your heart to learn new culture and take part to experience it when you have the chance. Because you might not get another one
2) Learn to mingle around with others, broaden your perspective
3) Tersedar something bila naik Gua Tempurung tadi. A new theory and realization. Bila kita naik tangga or let's say climbing up the hill, kita terpaksa menggunakan sepenuh tenaga and kudrat yang ada utk angkat kaki ni dan berjalan menuju ke atas. 5 minit tu terasa macam 30 minit (bagi org normal...saya luar biasa. Steady je..ceehhhh) and journey utk sampai ke puncak tu sangat lah lama. Tapi bila kita turun tangga or climbing down the hill, laju je sampai bawah. Samalah dalam kehidupan kita ni. Kalau nk berjaya tu mcm susah sgt, jalan dia perit, kena study kuat, kena ambil risiko, sometimes kena korbankan masa and tenaga demi mencapai kejayaan aka menuju puncak. Masa nak sampai atas tu pun ambil masa yang lama, it's not a few months of hard work but many many years. Tapi kalau nak fail tu senang je...goyanglah kaki, x yah buat apa2 dah dpt FAIL! Jadi fikir2kanlah

7 STEPS TO GREAT RELATIONSHIPS

Hold your horses. Huh, I know the title of the post is "7 Steps To Great Relationships" but come on people, don't only think relationship= couples//special boyfriend//special girlfriend. It could also be relationship with your friends, family members, teachers etc etc. hahaha ok..whatever I'm just rumbling. HIT IT ALREADY @@

1. Respect People

 

Always talk to people with respect; speaking to them like you want to be spoken to. Be kind in your words and actions. Think before you speak, because once the words leave your mouth, they can't ever be taken back. Your words may be forgiven, but they will never be forgotten. When you speak harshly to someone, you put a small crack in that relationship. Too many small cracks and the relationship will crumble.

 

2. Be Loyal and Trustworthy

 

Be the kind of person that can always be counted on to do the right thing. Never do anything to betray that trust. Always be honest, and always temper your honesty with kindness. Let them know that they can always lean on you, and even their deepest secrets are safe. If you don't have trust in a relationship, you don't have anything to build on.

 

"A friend is one who walks in when others walk out" ~~ Walter Winchell

 

3. Put Others First – Be a Friend

 

I know it's not easy, but you need to put the needs of others first. By that very act you show how much you care, and how important that relationship is to you. When you enter a relationship with a heart that puts others first, you are blessed by the fruits that are grown from such an act. By showing a genuine interest in others, you show yourself a friend, and gain loyal, lifelong friends to yourself.

 

As Dale Carnegie said, "You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.

 

"The only reward of virtue is virtue; the only way to have a friend is to be one." ~~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

4. Don't Try and Be Someone You're not

 

Always strive to be your best self, but never try and be someone you're not. Relationships built upon lies and distortions will never stand. Real friends are honest and upfront with each other. If you want to have a real friend, then be a real friend. Part of being a real friend is being yourself. If you want to impress someone, impress them with your kindness and friendship.

 

5. Don't Take People For Granted

 

I think this act probably causes more hurt, resentment, or weakening of friendships than any other. We go from enjoying someone's company, really appreciating all the things they do for us, and thinking about how great they are for the things they do. Then, let a little time go by, and we stop acknowledging the good things about them. We come to expect certain things that we considered special at one time. Don't do it, it's a relationship breaker. No one wants to be taken for granted.

 

6. Be Forgiving

 

What if the one being taken for granted is you? It hurts to feel like you're not appreciated. If we aren't vigilant in caring for our relationships, these things can easily happen. That's why it is important for us to look at others like Christ looks at us, with compassion and forgiveness.

 

Be sure to talk to the person taking you for granted. Don't let it build inside until the relationship is destroyed and irreparable. If they're a true friend they should apologize and be willing to change that.

 

Another trick to great relationships is good communications, and not holding grudges. Be forgiving as Christ is forgiving.

 

7. Be Positive and Encouraging

 

I love being around people who are positive and encouraging. It brings out the best in me and causes me to want to be positive and encourage to others. Can you think of a better emotional boost than to help put a smile on someone's face?

 

Dwelling on and being discouraged over problems will do nothing to make them better. We need to acknowledge the problem, tell that problem it's not going to define us, and then get to working finding a solution.

 

When someone you care about is down and hurting, you getting depressed with them will do nothing to help. What you need to do is show them compassion, be empathetic, and let them know you're there for them.

 

Then you need to lift them up. Help them to see some of the wonderful things about themselves and their life. Sometimes people just need to be reminded that they're special, and we believe in them even when they quit believing in themselves.

 

DISAPPOINTED SALESMAN

A disappointed salesman of Coca-Cola returned from his assignment to Saudi Arabia.

A friend asked,"Why weren't you successful with the Saudis?"

The salesman explained,"When I got posted I was very confident that I would make a good sales pitch. But I had a problem. I didn't know how to speak Arabic. So I planned to convey the message through three posters."

THE ART OF "BELANJA"

Belanja is a Malay word. In English it refers to as "treating someone to something" or maybe "buying stuff eg food, goodies etc for someone". In Malaysia, we use the word BELANJA quite often. I guess it's a kind of gesture?? or probably just a way to say "Yo man..how's it been? We're cool right? Wazzup" A common example of using the word BELANJA in a Malaysian daily life would be something like this:

IN A CAFE: - "M" IS SEEING "N" QUEUING TO PAY HIS LUNCH. WITH A CHEEKY SMILE "M" WALKS TO "N" AND SAID

"Hey man. Wazzup. When are you going to belanja me?? I've been waiting for like one sem now....haiya"

"hahahhaha...wait lah. I'm pokai (broke) right now. You lah belanja me"

 "Call me when you wanna belanja me, k? Enjoy your lunch dude ;)"

"OK man... NO PROBS. Any time also can :D"

 See? We as Malaysians use it either to start a conversation with someone or just a simply a way of saying hello when you see somebody you know. In a fun way of course. HOWEVER, although it seems really enjoyable to do it, there is a limit to the usage unfortunately. You just have to know when is it going to be ENOUGH. Get it? For example, we all love to do it (don't even deny it) so we tend to do it even though we don't really wanna do it. But sometimes, when it is used too frequently and I mean REALLY FREQUENTLY, it gets really really super-duper annoying. It's just like.....how to put it...emm, let me just give you the situation that I'm in right now.

             I have a friend (duh, of course..). Not going to mention whether it's a HE/SHE. Just for insurance policy and for my safety too. *hehhehe laughing nervously* so I'm just going to name this lovely person as "BURGER" *coz I'm hungry right now LOL* Ehemm, we seldom get to see each other. But when we do, this friend of mine always ask me to belanja him/her. Whenever wherever..be it day or night...be it weekends or weekdays...always belanja me, belanja me & belanja me. Until it gets to the point where I feel, OK I think I will belanja BURGER. Felt a sudden pity flush down on me. Haisshh As I am a man of my word, so I belanja BURGER.

             The next day I met BURGER again. And still, BURGER with his/her words "hehehe belanja me today?" And I was like..."WHOA! Didn't I just belanja you yesterday? So, you should belanja me baliklah" and BURGER was like "Alah, come on lah belanja me...*with a sad face* I don't have money right now. You different story...you got a lot of money meh. hehehhe" Thinking of it as a funny thing, I just laughed and we walked our separate ways.

            Until recently, we are grouped together to held an event. So, we have to meet with each other practically everyday. I just don't know why and it came to me that is it the only thing that BURGER knows to say?? BELANJA ME!!?? BELANJA ME!!?? ARRGGHHHHH....I can't take it anymore. It feels like you are talking with someone face to face and that other person is using a big giant hailer and yell the words BELANJA ME BELANJA ME!!!! AND it makes you feel like slapping and punching the other person's face a gazillion times like you can do with TALKING TOM!!!!!!!!! ARRGGHHH!!! *PAUSE- DOING IT WITH TALKING TOM RIGHT NOW*

           Luckily, I still have a pinch of patience left inside of me, so an act to make BURGER shut up, so I just have to and had to belanja BURGER for the second and third time and possibly the fourth too. Yet still, you know..BURGER with his/her BELANJA ME BELANJA ME. Urgghhh it just makes me don't want to ever ever meet BURGER again.

Dear audience, 

with my greatest and highest respect, I solemnly urge everyone to please do not misuse the word BELANJA or take an advantage towards someone using this pure and innocent word. It is such a disgrace. I think this word is a 2 way relationship word like love. If someone already belanja you, then it's a courtesy to belanja that person back without having to told you to do so. It's a word that can connect 2 people together but it is also a word that can just makes you want to slap somebody hard. THANK YOU.

 P/S: No hard feelings ok to anyone who read this. I think this habit has becoming too viral and not very good to society..hahaha peace ya'all.
