Laserzasss!

Come on lah apa kecih-kecoh kat alam siber ni? Giteww, alam siber. Dekat FB ada discussions saling mengutuk, kat Twitter jangan cakap la, siap jadi trend!

Why do issues on football have to be dragged to now touch on issues on cultures, territories, musics, and whatnots? Issues which even some have been clarified and now are being brought up and might as well soon be politicised too.

Lek la derr. Suzuki Cup je. Takyah la gelabah sangat. Mungkin ada sebab selama ni neither team has ever qualified for World Cup? Maybe sebab semua ada attitude problems hahaha.

Apa la yang korang nak fanatik-fanatik sangat ni? Lek2 dah la. Hidup aman damai takleh ke? Tengok bola diam2, dan jerit hanya bila bola masuk gol je takleh ke? Perlu ke nak main laser2? Korang ingat ni zaman dulukala dimana orang guna laser bila nak buat presentation guna projector pastu suluh laser konon nak ganti kayu penunjuk la.

Ni mesti sekor2 semua dah install lagu KRU dalam kepala hotak memasing ni tu yang jadi camni, kannnn?

Semuanya Fanatik

Fanatik, Fanatik

Fanatik

Fanatiknya duniaku

Segala Fanatik

Fanatik, Fanatik

Fanatik

Fanatiknya duniaku

Ku katakan uhh........

Korang nanyi part tu, tapi lupa ada part lain yang lagi relevant untuk dinyanyikan dalam keadaan gawat macam sekarang :

Na! Na! Na! Na! Na!

Kita tak perlu gusar

Na! Na! Na! Na! Na!

Diam itu pintar

Na! Na! Na! Na! Na!

Kita perlu gusar

Na! Na! Na! Na! Na!

Diam itu pintar

Nah, nampak? Diam itu pintar. From twitter to press, semua dah canang cerita yang makin hari makin merapik. Mana dapat sources? Wallahu'alam.

Anyway I strongly believe that both parties are at fault. Whatever lah. Takde sape salah and takde sape betul. Dua-dua sama je. Siapa yang start laser2 ni aku laser mata kau karang, tak nampak dunia kang baru tau hehehhhh. Don't blame the players, blame the game.

Awas kalau korang piket2 pakcik tonyoh muka sorang2 dengan cili solok

Best of luck to both teams! Jangan gaduh2 yaww! Main biar fair play ogehh. And I still wonder why there have to be two legs of final match. Kalau sekali je kan dah aman dunia, para pelaser-pelaser pun dah boleh balik laser aweks rumah sebelah tengah study ke kan.

Hadiah

I will bring satu tong atau satu tempayan filled with origami stars I made myself as your wedding present! But by the time I wanna give it to you, my hands will be reddish and swollen and they will all look bigger than my head.

Hahahahhahahahaah.

Nonsense. That will not happen again in gazillion years to come.

Lagi bagus pegi tengok Aunty Lai Meng or Bobby. Hahhaha.

Assalamu'alaikum : 10 good deeds

See the differences and how easy it is to do good deeds as practiced by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)?

May Allah bless you readers :)

Ding Dong

What cross your mind when you see this pattern?

Are My Clothes Not Loose Enough?

It's irksome pondering why some men love to stare at women.

Prior to wearing hijab, I know why I kept getting all the stares. Maybe I was wearing tight clothes, maybe my chest were bared too much, maybe my shirts were not long enough to cover my back when I sit down, maybe my hair were too appalling or perhaps appealing for them to stare at. I don't know. I don't understand men.

And evidently, the above mentioned factors are among the reasons that drove me to cover up, apart from fulfilling what my religion requires. When I got stared at, I will not entirely put the blame on men because deep inside I know somehow I was being one of the contributing factor which led them to stare at me.

Nevertheless, being a hijabi now, I still receive those nasty stares which make me feel absolutely uncomfortable and what more those stares I receive are while I'm having meals.

I made conjectures when I got stared at, such as

Is my back revealed?

Is my neck shown?

Does my hair slipped out of my hijab?

Are my clothes too tight?

Is my zipper unzip?

Any the list goes on and on...

Call me weirdo but I feel so sad.. And every time I feel insecure how I wish I can have my taiko/gangster looking brother around to protect me, or well, at least, to prevent men from staring at me..

Women just don't like to be stared at, or to be scrutinized. I stand to be corrected though.

A woman's heart should be so lost in God that a man needs to find God in order to find her.

Oh yess I am lost. Very. This quote is such a genius.

The Bended Straight Path

I had makan-makan tonight at my Aunt's place. Celebrating my cousin for obtaining good results in PMR. Well, she didn't managed to get straight A's, unfortunately a Bee was interested to be inserted on the exam slip. But okay lah as compared to my results in PMR back then bahahahahah. Zaman jahiliah, zaman pegi tuition sana sini bagai nak rak tapi satu benda pun tak masuk otak, zaman "I wish I would have studied harder because PMR was so damn easy wehhh!!", zaman "How could I not get straight As???", zaman "I'm sorry Ma I've tried my best" padahal I did not even try my best pun. And all those zaman lah.

I do not wish to mention my PMR results, and never did I ever intend to make a public declaration disclosing all my results. Tak sanggup nak ingat kembali wajah kecewa Mama masa teman pada hari ambik result. Balik rumah kurung diri dalam bilik beberapa jam pastu jadi normal balik. Drama queen much. All I can say is that I used to get first place in class for three consecutive years from Standard One till Standard Three. Itu saja zaman yang boleh dibanggakan. Itu saja. Lepas tu, jangan cakap.

But I performed well for my SPM and manage to read law. That's what matters most. Believe it or not, I dreamed of being a lawyer since I was eight.

Need proof?

I found this while sorting out my old stuffs. Diri sendiri baru tau berangan nak jadi peguam since I was 8. Hahah.

Peniaga? Darjah Satu dah berangan nak jadi peniaga Farrah hahahah kau nak jual apa? Kain batik? Kayu sugi? Comelnya.. Bayangkan muka masam budak kat atas ni yang tak reti senyum nak jadi peniaga tak ke lingkup hahahaha. Oh btww rambut kembang-kembang tu Ayah yang tolong blow kan ok. Stylo ke tidak?? Siap letak minyak sikit. Tapi bukan Tancho lah haha. 

Anddd did you know? Of course you don't know duhh. My ambition to be a Guru when I was 7, specifically, that was Guru Tadika. Hehhh. I don't know why but there was this one teacher back in Seremban when I first learnt ABC at Tadika Cumi Ciki who was sooo nice and dedicated and soft spoken and nice, I have mentioned that she's nice, haven't I? Ever since that, I decided wholeheartedly that I want to be Guru Tadika when I grow up. But it varies as time passed by, for sure. Sebab these few days layan little cousins and one anak saudara pun tak tahan. I kept yelling and screaming asking them to keep quiet and suruh kemas toys and suruh jangan panjat kerusi and all. I don't think I can deal with kids and I don't think I have the required patience to be Guru Tadika. Yikesss.

Anyway, whatever results you got it doesn't mean you're not good enough. No. It even took few times for Karpal Singh to pass his CLP. What matters most is your pure intention to seek knowledge. If it's for Allah, for your parents, your true self, society, religion, and whatnots, accompanied with a never-ending prayers, insha-Allah you'll make it in life, with straight As or without. Jadi kalau tak dapat straight As janganlah hangpa meraung kurung diri dalam bilik, taknak sambung belajar, paksa mak kawinkan hangpa dengan mekanik jalanan sekalipun. Hidup mesti diteruskan walau muka masam sekalipun lols.

Don't blame me if I managed to be happy.

If Allah decided to grant me happiness that I prayed for.

Even if it last only for a while.

Twice.

Kau bagaikan udara

Yang membantu aku untuk terus hidup di atas dunia

Tanpamu ku lemah

Pasti aku tak berdaya

Through thick and thin, you will always have my love, Ma.

Chee Meng

This is how you greet people in Nasi Ayam Hainan Chee Meng. You scream "Cheeeee Menggggg!!!"

God bless me, I was wearing a gladiator sandal today, so I became a gladiator, walked and walked and walked from one end of the damn road to another end. Spartaaaaaaaaa!! OK over.

Went to have, for the first time (booo yah!), Nasi Ayam Hainan Chee Meng. I think la the name is Chee Meng. Hahahha biasa la nama Chinese lebih kurang sama je. Don't let me start listing down few cases with Chinese name. Don't. Maybe in next post, ogehh?

Anyway I was wearing :

Forever 21 jail bird maxi dress

Topshop white shirt

Forever 21 black hijab

Forever 21 bangles

Marc by Marc Jacobs bag

Unbranded gladiator sandal

as simple as that, KL wasn't thatt windy today so t'was a berry hot evening!

MAYSAA London presents LIVE FASHION / LOVE MUSIC

This is a delayed post. Super delayed. I planned to wait for photos from a dear friend of mine, but she seems to be busy with classes, so pardon her, and I'll proceed with whatever photos I have *sobs*

Anyway, LF/LM was held at MAPKL, and I wonder where the heck was that. And I'm not ashamed to admit that we got lost, well, technically, I got lost finding ways to Solaris Dutamas because I was very very very confident that Solaris Dutamas and Solaris Mont Kiara are both the same. Whatev. Despite the fact that I don't know the difference, I can still proudly say that I live in KL. Tak malu. Hehh.

We got very excited for Maysaa that we arrived soooo early. Well, kind of early lah around 1230hrs where the place was still empty. We got in the venue to check whether or not it's the right place, and saw Yuna *suffocate*. We later went to have breakfast, no, brunch actually. But throughout, I couldn't pay much attention to my food because people kept passing by and all I can think was "Can we make it?" because I'm afraid we could not get in since Black Box can only fits 150 pax INCLUDING medias and VIPs. Media dah selalu jumpa Yuna why need to sebok lagi? Kasi can la layman (I don't think I should use layman) like us to be in the Black Box.

Went to queue, we were shocked because people were overflowed. We peeked inside and saw "Ohhh not that many people, we can still make it". Once ticket was secured in hands I went to perform my prayers and afterwards received a call from my friend, asking me to hurry because people nak masuk BB dah. so I rushed to the top floor and saw soooooo many people crowding outside the BB waiting to get in. I tried to locate my dear friend Wyna in the sea of people and all I could do was laughed as I went "Excuse me. Ouhh sorry! Sorryyy, excuse me pleaseee" while making my way to the very front where my bitch was standing. Dia paling depan sekali, I tell you! How kiasu was that?? Hahahah.

And to be more kiasu than anyone else, we got to sit on the front row. Nice view, though it was from the side.

What happened in the Black Box then?

Sarah Molko as the host, wearing Maysaa Jersey Polo Neck Maxi Dress

Yuna performed few songs *I swear* beautifully. Truly beautiful voice..

L-R : Myra, Me, Raihan, Wyna, Izzaty, Arni, I Dont Know, Nana, I Dont Know

L-R : Myra, Raihan, Nana, Shea, Me

L-R : Raihan, Me, Myra (Captured by Sue Anna Joe)

L-R : Arni, Izzaty, Me, Wyna, Farah Nadiah, Sofia (Before the event)

Yours truly and the bestest kiasu girl ever! XX

*My hands were freakingly static that way all day long. Dangg*

Yuna and Hana were being super nice, tried pretty hardly to meet and greet each and every fan who came until the very last hour till it turned dark outside. I can say that the people who came were all super super stylish. They dressed to kill yaw! There was even best dressed award to be given but since we went back early I just have no idea who won. You can see all sorts of people, prominent bloggers will be among the busiest ladies on that day, people continuously asked them for photos together.

There were also cupcakes, brownies and cakes provided, and while people were busy taking photos and everything I just couldn't stop eating coz baby, those sweet things were nice!! During the meet and greet session, they even mention of collaborating more in future so fret not for those who didn't managed to get in the BB, in future, you surely will! Have faith in yourself! Hahahah. Anddd, guess who's Hana's favourite designer is - Alexander McQueen. Nuff said.

Overall, after feeding you with all the photos now I shall make ze conclusion that, it was a tiring day, like really really tiring. But it was worth every blister I had! Haha. The traffic was congested since we got out to commit suicide in the traffic at peak hours where everybody was heading back home from office. Headed to Nirwana Bangsar to have dinner, dropped the girls at their respective cribs and went home and, kapoot, but not literally because I can still manage to stay online for few hours to update the Maysaa craze on Facebook hehh.

Anyway, if you wish to have a look at more chic and inspirational ladies at the event, click here.

Fghrench Fetish

What better way to say Yes to a true love than this Oui ring?

Calling all ladies to shed tears for this ring of Bois de Rose collection by Dior. Oh yes, please. Thank you. Now I wonder where my Dior bracelet is T____T

*I've nothing much to say for this post. I'll let you do the talking*

Cela Celana

Bila ternyata
Ada cela pada celana
Baru kau tidak semena
Mencari perca
Buat menutup segala yang tidak kena

Mengapa dari mula
Tidak kau menjaga celana
Dengan penuh waspada
Kerna
Masakan celana punya cela
Jika dijaga sepenuh rasa
Setulus hati?

Kini celanamu pulih
Kelihatannya sama
Seakan tidak pernah tercela
Tetapi tidak umum tahu
Bahawa celanamu
Tidak sesuci dulu

Maysaa?

I'm itching to update on what happened yesterday at Maysaa Fashion Show : LIVE FASHION/LOVE MUSIC, a collaboration between two gifted ladies; Yuna and Hana Tajima.

But I am yet to receive photos from a friend of mine.

So, wait.

Another Hijabi

She first accompanied her friend to buy some hijabs. She then hold in hands one hijab, and felt something inside. She put down the hijab back on its place, and leave.

At home, she was about to go out, and thought that she wanted to pun on a hijab. She searched for a hijab but to no avail, she has none in her house. She felt so gloomy, called her friend whom she accompanied yesterday, and asked the friend to send her a hijab as she was about to go out.

So the friend sent her what she asked for, she went out, came back home, and her husband saw her with hijab on, caught with surprise, and kissed her.

She later went for a holiday with her husband and her baby to Australia. She prayed that she will not take off her hijab throughout her stay in Australia.

Seven days, she succeeded. She went through seven days in Australia, wearing hijab. All praises to Allah.

This is a story of a Malaysian celebrity, Catriona Bahrin Ross, on how she was granted the hidayah from Ya Rabb to become a hijabi. Masha-Allah. How great Allah is, in split seconds, He can change a person to become a better one.

Du'as. That is what you need. Once you have the intention, Allah surely know what's inside your heart. Just do your part, put a little effort and du'a, insha-Allah. Never stop asking from Him, because he will never fail his servants.

Disclaimer : This story is being told by my mom as she watched it in the television. Thus, it may varies from the real one.

Treasures

This is a story of a teenage board. Haha.

Ini board saya. Random. Main lekat je apamende yang rasa nak lekat. No rules. From Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie to "10 Top Reasons to be Glad You're Single". Lols

And this, a birthday card from my Mak Ngah. Those are my nicknames given by her. Favourite dia is Joyah, of course.

And this! Hello, sape dulu skolah AMINUDDIN BAKI, KL, tak pernah dapat benda ni, sumpah kau LOSER! Sorry to say lah but benda ni WAJIB semua orang mesti pernah dapat at least once lah. Hahahah kalau nak parok (teruk) lagi, ada orang rasa seronok sangat dapat benda ni sampai hari-hari nak dapat, sedekah 20sen kat prefect, kumpul, letak dalam file jadikan cover. Hahahah.

Btw this is a temporary name tag. Bila kamu terlupa pakai name tag. Prefect akan denda kamu, tulis nama dalam buku diorang, bagi kamu name tag bodoh ni yang kos nya 20 sen. Kalau baru skali dua kena denda, dapat kad kuning. Kalau dah setan banyak kali sangat, dapat warna merah.

Terlupa pakai name tag hanya applicable kat bebudak yang malas nak jahit name tag jenis kain kat baju, hanya tampal pakai double-sided tape je bila pagi-pagi nak pegi assembly. Lepas lalu prefects je, semua pakat cabut, simpan dalam kocek atau tampal dalam purse. Esok pagi buat balik benda sama, ulang lagi dan lagi sampai habis zaman persekolahan.

Cikgu disiplin iaitu Mr.Tan Sam Guan selalu pelik, kenapa susah sangat kami nak jahit benda tu. Tiap kali dia tahan, mesti semua promised balik rumah nak suruh mak jahit, tapi tak jugak. Hahahah. Epic :D

And oh, say hellooooooooo to my all-time favourite rock band ever :)

Bukan mosh pit, but who cares. Been there, and t'was awesome!

Siapa faham Japanese, you will know what the heck is this. Some sort of receipt kot. This was in 2002, went there for a homestay programme.

Haha NICK. This was classic.

Masa nak pegi tuition kat Kasturi in 2005 kot, selalu singgah McD yang kat Central Market tu kalau tak silap. And one day, there was this one handsome mat salleh. Too cute to be ignored. So I went to him, mintak ambik gambar sesama. Kengkawan cabar & menggalakkan. Masa ambik gambar dia letak tangan kat bahu saya, tangan dia basah masa tu baru lepas cuci tangan. Rasa macam tak nak basuh baju tu selamanya sebab ada kesan tapak tangan Nick yang basah! Like waddehek kan?

Nama dia Nick. Lama jugak angaukan dia, sampai conteng meja science lab pakai liquid paper, conteng paper clips macam gambar bawah ni, etc.

Hahaha. Loser sial.

And, presenting, the one and only medal I have ever received in my life as a teenager, kot. Hahahahah ni pun lawan tennis bodoh-bodoh je. Lawan ngan sape? Kengkawan sendiri yang sama sama main tennis hari-hari kalau stayback. Tak mencabar langsung. Hahaha tapi menang jugak lah :D

That is all for now. Will update more soon if I'm able to find more treasures. Hahahah.

P.S. I miss high school so berry much T___T
