Family Winter Vacation (teaser)

teaser sepam. wheee~~` (^,^)v

S'long 2009.

Hey peeps,

Its December. & it is the time when most people go travel. Families get to spend quality time together. A retreat from daily routines & office works. Whats more with Awal Muharram, Christmas, & New Year all falls on Fridays, more working adults are utilizing their annual leaves. Putting it short - its holiday time baby!

This year. After months of planning & hard times applying for leaves, For the very few times, the full five family members of Ab Rahman's family will be in this tour. Where to? I'll share it upon reaching back Malaysia on January 1st 2010 :)

So. No internet access for 2 weeks. No facebook-ing. No blogging. No gayut2 on the phone (gila apa nak gayut on international calls). Just plain us with mother nature. Or rather, shopping malls :p any urgent matters, I'm just an sms away.

Therefore, I'd like to wish a HoHo Christmas to my Christian friends & family, as well as Happy New Year to all! Lets all make new resolution upon the strike of a new year - saya nak jadi budak baik! :D

Doa kan saya & keluarga selamat pergi & balik ye :)


Oh btw, promote jap. Tadi g beli Big Apple's doughnuts. Spend RM15++ & receive free desk calendar yg sgt funky & comel! plus, there are vouchers in it. Dah la kotak dia comel gila, Alvin & The Chipmunks 2 themed. Thnk u si dia yg membelanja! X)

Perempuan Tinggi Pakai Apa Pun Cantik

Whats your say on the above mentioned topic?

It came across me today as I was rummaging thru my wardrobe. Then I saw some of my up-to-knee dresses (yg dah tak boleh pakai skrg). I tengok kat magazines like Dara.com, cantek je model2 die pakai dresses with long pants. Pesal I pakai jadi cam huduh gila? Eee. Rasa nak bakar baju seluar tuh (bukan nak bakar lemak sendiri kan haha)

So I posted this statement on my Facebook wall. & by God, what funny responses I got!

(click to enlarge. taknak pun takpe.)

Note: Pls ignore Ben yg menggedik with my Sabahan friends in the comments above :p


Btw. I had one of the craziest & fun-est day today. All unplanned!

Unplanned-ly, I went to my office today to finish of some work - despite its a public holiday.

Unplanned-ly, I went to buy a backpack for my soon oversea-traveling, in KLCC.

Unplanned-ly, as I got off the LRT at Tmn Melati, I drove to Alpha Angle, & shopped alone.

Unplanned-ly, Kak Darnih (my colleague) ajak I dinner with her.

Unplanned-ly, we went into the apetuh. like. Recreation Center? & Kak Darnih yg 1st time masuk tu changed RM20 for tokens! tu tak kira yg ditambah2. almost RM40 i think. adoiih~ memang main macam budak2 tak ingat dunia lah kami. Dari dance2 revolution, game tembak2 alien, pancut2 air..

lumba motosikal..

lumba kereta..

& the most tipu org punya game. kutip2 teddy nieh. Kak Darnih spent like RM20 kat sini je kot. Dapat teddy arnab yg sgt chomel! (yang ada price tag RM9.90 haha), yg Kak Darnih kasik kt I. So sweet~~ :D

Unplanned-ly, gi pasar malam kat Gombak yg besar! best2~~

Unplanned-ly, gi klinik & got myself jabbed with influenza vaccination - siap ada dapat buku International Certificates of Vaccination dari WHO youu~~ (terasa mcm household pet pun ada, kena vaccinate pulak ngee..)

Unplanned-ly, jumpa pet shop! suke suke! & Kak Darnih dah letak deposit untuk sekor kucing yg sangat chomel~! omg tak sabar nak jadi mak tiri kpd kucing ituh! XD

So. Iyea. Ingatkan keluar kejap je. Keluar noon, petang kang balik la. Tengok2. Till tengah malam! aiyok.. haha. I blame Kak Darnih! :P but thank you, I had a great time! :D

And so we waved our goodbyes..


Ada yang semangat mengejar kereta..

So. Again. Saya Sayang Kampung Saya! :D

Of Randomities

Disebabkan saya sangat suka hati dapat memeruk kat rumah hari ni, disamping random visits from my babes from UTP (sangat RnR rumah aku!), saya telah memutuskan untuk balas dendam blogging segala cerita yang lama terpendam hihi. Layan je la yek.

I 'skinned' my laptop. Ceh skin la sangat. Sebenarnya wall sticker yg berlebihan hihi. Tapi I buat cantek oke! heee~

macham cool kan? :p (cheap attempt to furbish my lappy)

I took this shot on 7.11pm, 25/11/2009 with my Lexie (aperture priority, F/2.3, 1/200sec) from my room's window. I thought it was a unique view - the vertical sunset light.

Oh. Hannah's off to Segamat, Johor today. She'll be with Pet Gas Berhad (PGB). We had a small rendezvous on Friday. All the best my friend, may you get to find hot guys there XD

Christmas spirit is in the air. In KLCC, most of the stores are red-decorated. My friends & I have always admired the festive setup in KLCC Concourse.

My babes Anies, Oyen & Diba came by today. Anies for a sleepover while Oyen & Diba pitstop before shooting back to Perak again after their interview in Damansara - Congrats btw babes! Tho they came for like very few hours je, we had quality time. Its never boring when you're with your besties!

Despite today's events, I still consider its a VERY RELAXING day! Oh how I love weekends. & luckily, a weekend consists of TWO day! Hurrayh! XD

Teambuilding Itu Seronok Juga

Aritu. Aku gi PDB Teambuilding. Dkat Excel Training & Country Resorts, Lenggeng, Negori 9. 23-25 Nov 2009 lepas. What I've went thru tak penting la kan. But I'd like to share some of the knowledge I've newly gained la. Menarik. Kalau tak menarik aku memang tak dengar haha.

Excel Training & Consultancy ni, walaupun nama tempat dia ada 'Country Resorts', tapi takde la gah mane. Serba sederhana je. Tapi tempat dia luas. Our teambuilding (outdoor) activities termasuklah Paintball, jungle trekking 3km++ yg lepas bukit ke-3 tu ada air terjun kat puncak nya, berakit2, swimming ke dasar swimming pool carik botol berisi pasir (sgt happy sebab dah lama tak swimming!), flyingfox & macam macam lagi lah! Tak tipu best!

I hate motivational talks. I feel that its ineffective & takde kesan pun. Paling2 dia bagi kita semangat yg berkobar2, tapi lepas few days kita balik la ke tabiat lama kita. Kan? I never believed in it. But maybe jugak sebab tu Tuhan tak bukak pintu hati aku untuk terima ilmu tu kot - dah mindset aku. Tapi. Time timebuilding, I believe I DID learn & practice at least 1 thing.

Penceramah semua memang best2. Kelakar. Dan tak lupa dengan selingan lawak2 'dewasa' yg membuatkan anak dara sorg ni banyak terkedu. Teambuilding ni melibatkan orang2 dari PDB from all various levels, dari General Manager ke Seeding yang baru masuk kerja 13 hari (kira aku bukan la paling junior, walaupun paling muda hehe). Ada dalam 40+ orang dalam teambuilding batch 17 ni. Mostly orang2 yg dah kahwin & ada anak la. Yang bujang2 ni la terpinga2.

The best thing was, to be in the same room, mendengar motivational talk dari none other than Dato' Dr Hj Fadzilah Kamsah sendiri. The Managing Director of Excel Training. He asks to be called Haji je. It was like.. omg.. I watched him in TVs since kecik kot. & my dad admires him. It was like a dream to be standing & talking to him, live. His talk was the best la. Disamping lawak2 dewasa, memang setiap apa yang dia cakap tu ada ilmu. Pastu. Dia ni pandai baca keperibadian orang - dari nama, birthday, tulisan, tapak tangan, & ciri2 fizikal lain. It may not be accurate, but its berdasarkan kajian. & mostly, i rasa quite right!

Just to share with you all lah kan, some of it yg I ingat..

Mengikut tangan..

• Kalau anda lelaki, tengok tangan kanan. Kalau anda gadis cun, tengok tangan kiri. Khunsa wallahualam.Tegakkan jari2 tangan anda (mcm kat gamba nieh).
• Haji kata. Kalau jari kelingking (5) lagi rendah dari ruas ke-2 (dr bwh) jari telunjuk (2), (ruas tu yg lipat2an kat jari tu), awak tuh BOROS! haha. If jari manis lagi tinggi, tahniah, anda penjimat/pandai simpan duit. Sila consider bila cari bakal bini/husband ye
  
• Kalau jari manis (4) lagi rendah dari jari telunjuk (2), awak nih lembut hati. Else, keras/kuat - kurang paham gak maksud dia kuat ni.

Mengikut tarikh kelahiran..

• Kalau lahir bulan ganjil nih (Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep, Nov), orang nye pendiam sket, & cam suka bersendirian - ske duduk bilik je, x kuar hangout sgt etc
• Kalau lahir bulan genap (Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct, Dec), orang nye bising! (haha). agak huha la. dan suka berkawan kawanan.
• Tapi untuk kamu yang haribulan nya 18-23, kamu ni makhluk dua alam (bukan bapuk ye). Means kamu ni dua2 pun boleh. Sorg2 boleh. Suka berkawan jugak. Flexible lah in most perkara. Mana2 pun boleh~
• Kalau lahir bulan Feb, Apr, May, Aug, Sept, Nov & Dec, kamu nih keras. In a good way la, bukan keras degil tuh. Cam. Once u've set ur mind, memang susah da orang nak pengaruh u.
• Dia cite banyak gak about sifat2 orang setiap bulan2 tu, tapi I sempat take note on mine (Apr) & bulan2 yg menarik (untuk dijadikan reference bila carik calon suami haha!
• April - Aggressive (wah?). Laju (tapi aku cam selalu kalah je pecut 100m). Active. Outdoor. Cepat buat keputusan tapi cepat juga menyesal (Kak Syiken kata "betul!, Izza ni cepat je decide nak beli barang, tapi lepas tu ckp "eh ape sawan aku beli barang ni"") haha
• July - Penyayang. Sangat baik. Sensitive
• October - Tak banyak karenah. Mudah berkawan. Orang baik. Tak suka gado2. (psal macam takde kenal orang bday Oct? eh. Hannah! omg. betul! Hannah yg tak suka gado2 & tak bnyk karenah! saje up kan saham Hannah kan, LOL)

Mengikut tulisan..

• mesti tulisan kecik untuk tengok nih!
• tulisan condong ke kiri - suka bersendirian
• tulisan condong ke kanan - mudah berkawan
• pastu banyak lagi actually Haji cakap. Haji cakap sy unik sbb sy tulis condong ke kiri, tapi signature condong ke kanan. Haji tanya sejak bila signature tu, sy ckp since darjah 6 kot. Tiba2 Haji cakap ppuan ni, miang dia mula bila berumur 13 tahun. erk! yg lelaki lak miang nya lambat sket, tapi miang nya miang betol! haha (jap. tak faham ape kaitan umur tu ngn signature sy)

Mengikut physical appearance..

• bulu kening tebal (yg bercukur tak kira) - tegas. keras. extreme
• dahi luas - banyak berfikir, pandai (Haji kata cari lah suami berdahi luas)
• dahi sempit - pandai (takkan la dia nk ckp bodoh kn), tapi tak bnyk berfikir, cuai
• bibir tebal - cakap berlapis
• bibir nipis - cakap direct takde Indah Water tapis2
• dagu tajam - manje. ngade2. susah buat keputusan
• dagu bulat - stable, hebat (uih?), pandai cakap
• tahi lalat di dada kanan / pipi (mana2) - pengasih. penyayang. rasional.
• tahi lalat di bahu kanan - yang bertanggungjawab menjaga parents
• tahi lalat di bahu kiri - yang dibebani masalah keluarga

Dan banyak lah lagi. Haji pun ada share doa2 yg baik untuk dijadikan amalan harian, dan juga tabiat/sunnah yang kita boleh cuba praktikkan. Some memang kita dah biasa dgar. Tapi mari lah kita sama2 cuba amal kan mana yang boleh ye :)

• Bila masuk rumah, bagi salam, even if takde orang kat rumah. Sebab syaitan mmg menunggu dkat pintu masuk. Berilah salam, & masuk dengan kaki kanan.
• Bila nak masuk toilet, guna kaki kiri lak, sebab tandas tu kotor. Tempat syaitan lepak. Keluar rumah pun ngan kaki kiri.
• Bila tido, tido lah menyiring ke kanan. Sebab jantung kita kat belah kiri. Kalau himpit kiri, nanti jantung kite tak pumping ngan baik. Also, baik untuk penghadaman, sebab usus besar bnyk proses dkat belah kanan. So bila anda tido menyiring ke kanan, dinner anda pun bergolek ke kanan usus kite.
• Lelaki. Pls. Walaupun anda ada hos, tolong kencing duduk. Haji kata statistik mengatakan lelaki banyak batu karang punca nya dari kencing berdiri.
• Ppuan pun. Bile kencing tu, urut2 bahagian pusat ke bawah, untuk tekan keluar habis kencing tu. Also untuk elak kencing tak lawas.
• Bila berak (oops). Or pangsai (in hokkien), condong kan badan ke kiri sambil tangan kiri mengurut2 perut kat kiri tu. Lentok lah dengan kepala sekali untuk lagi feel, sambil tangan kanan di atas kepala. Memang agak kelakar pose nih. Tapi Haji kata this helps in melancarkan pangsai anda. Katanya dia dah amalkan since dia umur brapa tah. Tapi berpuluh tahun gak la. Sebab nye, dkat kiri ni hujung usus kita, tahek berkumpul kat sana la before keluar dari anus. Bila kita urut2, bertambah lancar la proses pelancaran tahek ituh, dan sukses lah pangsai anda.
• Banyakkan membaca. Cuba amalkan seminggu/sebulan sekali, bawak anak2 anda, dengan mak bapak anak2 anda tu sekali, ke kedai buku, beli 1 buku sorang satu. Nak kena start gak dah ni. Asyik beli magazine je. Hurm. Tapi haritu aku balik Kelantan, aku bawak gak cousin2 kecik aku yang darjah 3, 4, form 1 & 2 gi Popular. Suh diorang pilih buku - mesti buku english! Sebab mak derang complain dak2 nieh English sume kureng. Seronok2. Camni kot perasaan ibu bapa seronok tengok anak baca buku yg diorang belikan, takde rasa terbazir.

Dan.. Cukup lah ceramah motivasi aku pagi Sabtu ni. Sebenarnye bangun awal pun sebab my babe Anies came for sleepover last night. Dia ada interview kat KL Sabtu pagi ni. So lepas Subuh tadi dah tak tido, borak2 ngan Anies. Bila Anies dah pi, takleh tido balik da pun, so membebel la kat blog.

So. Hope saudara saudari ada ilmu baru yang dipelajari dari post kalini - sungguh ilmiah rasa post aku, for the 1st time haha! Renung2kan, & selamat beramal! :D

Note: Someone recommended me to play this quiz in fb. I think its pretty accurate - as in, related to what Haji had really mentioned in class. Have a try! Kajian Dr Fadzilah Kamsah Tentang Sifat Manusia Mengikut Bulan Kelahiran Quiz in Facebook.
