being a patriotic that i am…heee

Countdown…2 days to our 50th independence day….proud to be Malaysian…

“Mlm ni free tak?nk pi tak tgk teater Putra kat istana budaya..?”
I was likee…em…ok what the heck..after all, I haven’t lepaking with k sara since what….a month?huhu.

Since we have few extra tickets, I tried to ajak maya n rozaina to come along but they both can’t make it.its okay

I googled up for the synopsis but to no avail.yea…I’m soooo bad in history..but take it +vely, this might be the turning point..ece..

I received k sara’s sms at 6.15pm “kte amek awk 750 k”..

It was raining when k sara arrived. K sara actually get 6 free tickets from her friend, who is the costume designer for the show. I don’t get her name.jahat kan saye. But there were only 3 of us-moi+k.sara+k.sara’s bro. so lagi 3 tu kira burned la.

We arrived at 840pm. luckily when we entered the istana budaya, the audiences were singing Negaraku. Surprise surprise…all the istana budaya staff were fierce as ever…”adek tlg masuk…takyah tunggu kwn tu.masuk je…t-shirt tak berkolar takleh masuk…pi amik baju kat sane…hp off ye…tgh lagu Negaraku !!!(angry coz we didn’t stand still at that very moment..)”…it was like there were some kind of Agong, all Sultan and Sultanah and Prime Minister in the hall. But when we entered the hall, there were not a single VIP!sheesh..kecoh taw. They shud be a bit nicer in the future.huhu…

So we had our seats.quite near to the stage so its kinda cool.since this was my first time watching theatre(haha), so I didn’t expect much.just sit,watch,enjoy and yea…dun ever get sleep..enjoy,ok.

The show started with a dance performance..then the story begins… Tunku abd rahman when he was in MCKK->study in London->kicked and sent to Malaysia->want to change malaysia’s destiny……until our independence day. Frankly, I don’t fancy history. Never was. Lucky me coz k.sara, as the person sitting next to me,whisper to me every now n then sape itu sape ini what happened etc…haha poor me..

some of the scene makes me go oooOOOoo..like,

1. when Tunku was kicked out from law school at London
2. then he been sent from sg petani to kulim by the british coz he was rebellious or something
3. onn jaafar was condemned by the malays coz he opened the membership of perikatan to all races and he was kicked out and replaced by Tunku..yeke?
4. the original BN logo was actually a ship.skrg dacing kan?
5. when Tunku abd rahman wanted to leave for London to discuss with british regarding Malaya’s independence, he didn’t have enough money and all org kampong give whatever they have- jewelleries,money and whatnot to ensure that Tunku manage to go to London.for the sake of the country -> I was so touched with this part(kalau org wat cite ni tipu mmg hampeh la) coz how they sacrifice what they have to see Malaysia stand on its own…for the sake of their future generations…huhu sedey hokayyy.
6. we were given the trust by british to lead Malaya due to tunku’s influence to the society at that time. Tunku even managed to make chin peng+followers tunduk sorta..
7. tan cheng lock and tun sambanthan were the head of MCA and MIC respectively.
8. tan cheng lock was ill when Tunku was going to London to ask british for independence so he cudnt follow Tunku to discuss the historical moment. But during the merdeka announcement, he was there.
9. The sacred date 31ST August was proposed by this ustaz(I forgot his name). he said if Tunku didn’t select this date,we have to wait for another 2 years for independence.why?i dunno.i waited for him to explain but takde justification pun.huhuh.anyone?
10. Merdeka!Merdeka! was shout for 7 times(kalo salah ni sile salahkan jalaludin hassan sbb die yg jerit 7 kali and saye kire) and was happened at dataran pahlawan – org tu ckp
11. Tunku pi London naik kapal.bukan kapal terbang

at the end of that show, they introduced all the stars and the director, meor hashim manap. The pelakons-datuk jalaludin hassan(Tunku), vanida imran(mak ngku), zulhuzaimy(young Tunku), manbai(onn jaafar), azizah mahzan,yalal chin,ebi yus etc…and we all sang malaysiaku something.seb baik die tak suh nyanyi lagu umno.kiki

but as the first timer, I find theatre is quite interesting.something with message lah.i admire their talent coz they managed to control their stage fright,memorize the lengthy script and one straight flow.amazing!. however based from k.sara+bro’s comment, prev ‘Tan Cheng Lock’ show was even better. The Putra show was quite dragging and too much of singing part.and the dancers are not well sync not sharp etc etc…well…
but anyway..we had a great time. We arrived s.alam at 1130pm.oh ya the piccas…

So Malaysians…what you have contributed to the nation?

We each have an important role to play to ensure that our children and the generations to come can enjoy the life that we have today… and we should be grateful of what they/our nenek moyang fight for our peace and harmony..

“Mampukah apa yang kita bina hari ini membawa kita ke hadapan?”

I love you, Malaysia 😉 Merdeka!!!!!

tragedy

OK this is not cool. Soo not cool….huk3*nangih*

SATURDAY Me and my sis off to IKEA to hunt for a new wardrobe and a double decker bed. we didn’t realize that the SALE period was only 2 days left until we arrive at the entrance… Believe me, I’ve never been so serious and dedicated to shopping session other than that particular day. We didn’t have a single bite and we run from this end to the other end to find the purrrfecct one. Ok yea so we found the wardrobe, 2+ metres tall! And we bought 2 units and another double decker bed. obviously we’re not going to assemble those things by our own. So we paid for the delivery and assemble charges…

SUNDAY the IKEA ppl come over to our house to install the wardrobes and the bed. earlier on, we cleared up the room and prepare to have the new members of the room. Okay… everything was okay until they found out that a piece of the wardrobe part is damaged and need replacement. I thot that we’ll have the replacement on that very day but unfortunately they have this procedure that the earliest is on Monday but with no extra charges. So okay whatever..thats their fault anyway.

MONDAY So I was excited on the following day, after came back from the office just to find that the pieces of stupid wood are still laying on my room floor. I was pissed like nobody cares knp org ikea tu tak datang2 lagiiii!!!!!!but anyways…I asked my sis why and why – since she is the one who’s dealing with IKEA…she said she called but the ikea ppl didn’t return her call and so we waited till malam and yea..no sign of coming.so my sis is very pissed with this IKEA ppl and still, can you believe what they said (my sis called on the same nite) –
“will deliver that remaining wardrobe this Friday”…stupido.so my sis replied “ape ni…I thot this is IKEA and not the Pusat Perabot blablabla”….mamat tu pun replied “ ok…I’ll see what I can do”…I was pissed myself when I heard the story.

TUESDAY my sis cc’ed me an email addressed to the IKEA management saying that she is very pissed with the service bla3.and then the guy replied her mail and said

“We sincerely apologise for the problem you had with your recent IKEA purchases. I will personally get the Customer Service Manager to attend to you problem immediately. “ …

Ok.this is the moment.moment of embarrasement.i was so happy to read my sis’ email to the IKEA management and without thinking, I clicked reply (I make sure that I didn’t click ‘reply to all’) and typed ,

”haha bes2”

and click send. That’s when I realized that I actually repliED to the IKEAguy’s email and NOT my sis’ mail…I felt like my blood is rushing up to my face and I was shivering.i shocked.i was still for a few minutes not knowing what to do next.ok so I took a deep breath and clicked reply to the IKEAguy’s mail and typed ,

”sorry I sent to the wrong person.thousand apologies”…

OMG I felt so embarrassed.i didn’t tell my sis about this tragedy but I still send haha bes2 to her after that.huhu…but anyway cut the long story short, few minutes later, my sis sms’ed me ,

”..cust service manager lak call kate arini sampai dan dpt balik duit delivery dan 5%!how cool….”..

wuhu alhamdulillah she didn’t know bout the tragedy.yet.oh yeah and few hours later, at 2.38pm, my mum sms’ed me..

”dah siap pasang dah”…

alhamdulillah…the penantian is over..but now how am I gonna tel my sis bout the tragedy…?musti die malu sndri kt IKEA kalo die tau cite nih.hmm.later.

kisah berantai

kisah #1
dlm 2 minggu lepas,sdg dlm pjlnn pulg dr klcc ke mmc.ada urusan di klcc.cuaca separa panas.hari sudah hampir tengahari.lalu di dpn corus hotel apabila seorang lelaki dlm lingkungan umur 30-an menyapa,

lelaki : adik,nk mintak tolong boleh?
me : ye?
lelaki : adik blh pinjmkan abg duit?abg nk balik tanjung malim tp takde duit ni..
me : emm..(smbil memandang sweater beliau..oo..upsi..)..berapa ye lbh kurang?
lelaki : tak kesah la dik.abg ada mintak dgn org lain td tapi sume org maki2..
ms tu dlm hati rs bcampur2..takut dia tipu la,kut la die org jahat la..but..
me : (keluarkan dompet dan mencongak2 RM di dlm.ade la rm20+).em..rm10 boleh?
lelaki : boleh2.time kasih sgt dik…(tersenyum)
me : sama2…

kmudian kami bdua blalu ke arah yg berbeza.sekali sekala aku menoleh ke blkg.khuatir die sbnrnye mengekori aku.tetapi tidak.ya,mungkin die mmg btul2 memerlukan duit itu.insha allah

kisah #2
seminggu slps kisah #1.kebiasaannya aku akan pulang dgn mngambil lrt di stesen ampang park->sentral dan ambil komuter dr sentral->shah alam.dr situ, abah akan fetch balik rumah.kdg2 abh akan amik kat stesen universiti,atau kg baru,bergantung di mana yg lebih praktikal utk fetch aku.tp hari tersebut berbeza.dlm komuter,dlm pukul 6.15pm,aku terima sms dr abah,

“k lang dah kat mane?hari ni abh amik k ngah dan athif kat hosp.nk abh amik kat mane?”

aku,
“k lang br je naik tren dr sentral.its ok.takyah amik k lang.tq”

sjk ada kredit kad,aku mmg jarang bw cash yg byk.gedik naik tren pun pakai touchNgo.ok ok..bebalik pd cite,aku bkire2 la cukup tak duit nk byr tmbg taxi.stesen shah alam->rumah biasanya rm5.tak kurg,tak lebih.mmg duit dlm dompet tak cukup.ada 3 helai rm1 shj.aku teroka seluruh pelusuk beg galas aku.ada jmp beberapa sen.mmg beg aku sngaje disepahkan dgn duit.hrp maklum.penting utk waktu2 sebegini.tp takkan nk kire skrg kut,detik hatiku.so,setibanya di shah alam,org ramai berpusu2 ke taxi hub.sbb kt stesen ni mmg xde pkhidmatan bas.aku bdiri di satu sudut.ye,pandai pun teka.aku kira syiling.kira punya kira,ada rm4.80.hmm.xpe,aku nekad nk naik teksi.mesti.dlm teksi,aku teroka lagi dlm beg.alhamdulillah,lg 5 minit nk smpi rumah,aku jumpe 20sen di suatu ceruk beg.maka aku pun byrlah pakcik teksi tu dgn ktoing2 nye syiling.ehe.x malu punn…

kisah #3
beberapa hari selepas kisah #2.hari tu abh balik lewat.so bajet mak ada kat rumah.tren smpi kat subang jaya, aku msg mak,

“mak ada usrah hari ni?k lang sampai lg 10 minit”

mak, “a’ah ada usrah.sorry..”

so,kena naik teksi balik rumah.so operasi meneroka spt kisah #2 bjalan spt biasa.kali ni lbh parah sbb kbykn duit telah diteroka semasa kisah #2 mybbkan tdk byk syiling yg tinggal di dlm beg tsebut.ms tu muka cuak tak ingt la.sbb tak kan nak balik jln kaki kan.kira punye kira,tak cukup rm1!kali ni mmg konfem sbb stiap ceruk beg mmg dah clear dah.ehe.toing!yey dpt satu idea!dial umah,af,my youngest bro angkat fon,

af : helo..
me : helo af,k lang sampai rumah lg 15minit,tlg tunggu kat depan rumah dgn rm1 ke rm2 ke sbb k lang tak cukup duit nak byr pakcik taxi (satu nafas ok.tiada noktah mahupun koma)
af : ok

pastu mmg nekad trus masuk teksi.dgn harapan adik aku akan terpacak kat pintu gate umah nnt.dlm pjalanan tu,aku bukak purse.mmg sgt tkejut oke sbb rupenye ada xtra rm1!!mase tu mmg rs syukur sgt2..rs mcm Allah nak tolong sgt time tuh..dah la tu,pakcik taxi hntr aku dulu drp 3 pnumpang yg lain.dgn sampai awal dr biasa dan duit tmbg yg cukup2,aku rs amaze dgn apa yg terjadi.kuasa Dia..fyi,lps byr tu aku ada lbh kurg 3 sen je dlm purse.serius.

======================================

soalan : apekah kaitan antara ketiga2 kisah tersebut?

sekian,terima kasih

books!!yummy

yesterday i manage to get myself 2 books. i couldnt find one more book on the shelf. probably it is out of stock. even the other 2 was the final copy lest.wuhuu

so here are the books;

1. my reality check bounced by jason ryan dorsey – read my 23rd march entry

2. girl,get your money straight! by glinda bridgforth – i get to know this book thru oprah.com , her book club.

and here is the sneak review on the book;
“If you’re tired of feeling powerless over your finances and are ready to start funding your dreams, then come on girl–it’s time to get your money straight! Author and financial expert Glinda Bridgforth knows that healthy money management is rarely just about dollars–it’s about getting to the root of why we spend what we do and recognizing the emotional and cultural issues that play out in our unhealthy financial habits. Girl, Get Your Money Straight! presents her seven-step program for holistic financial healing–an upbeat, empowering road map that you can use to identify your heart’s desires, break away from negative spending patterns, pay off outstanding debts, develop a spending plan, conquer the checkbook blues, and create new wealth. Filled with Bridgforth’s warmhearted wisdom and advice, and complete with worksheets exercises, affirmations, and inspiring stories of African American women who have found financial peace of mind, Girl, Get Your Money Straight! is a fresh, fun, and eminently practical guide to healing your bank account and building a life that you love.”

i already started to read the first book.n it definitely not indah khabar dr rupa.sgt best ok..

i’m off to course at tganu this sunday-thursday..will try to finish both books and continue my crossstitching project.hehe

k ppl.tata

4 new projects

i bought 3 cool stuff last saturday;

1. cross stitch set – inspired by az’s room.i saw a cross stitch frame in her room

2. 3 diff colors of beads – inspired by hawa’s baju kurungs.she did the beads thingy all by her own.envy her

3. knitting wool – inspired by meredith in grey’s anatomy. there was this one episode showed her knitting.and if am not mistaken,izzie as well.coolness.am so in luv with the series btw.ok ok out of topic.hehe

oh yea i have another project.i tried to look for the book i mentioned last week, the one written by jason dorsey, but couldnt find at the mph sales or even in the big mph itself.sgt sedeh ok!

and this morning i manage to search for books i wanted thru kinokuniya bookweb.and wow!all books are available there!will write about the books in my next entry.tunggu!!

i already begin my cross stitch and beads project last 2 days.and will proceed with another 2 this week=)

gambate ne!!

tata

self motivation

Came across this book just now.thru yahoo page.i read the 1st chapter.interesting.ok la regardless of the author-mat saleh.but still the book is quite interesting.mmg ade part tu mcm lbh kpd cara hidup mat saleh.tp abaikan yg tu.amik yg ada kaitan je.hmm

I love the part when he said,

Waiting for any other time, especially the right time, to make your break for your dreams just wastes irreplaceable opportunities.You end up sitting on your dreams while your fears and insecurities take the lead. You continue getting older and more frustrated but not an inch closer to what will bring more meaning and satisfaction to your life, yet it’s entirely your choice—even if you decide to ignore the fact that you choose the life you lead.”

and this part,

“How can doing everything right end up feeling wrong?”

the rest u can find in the book itself.rs mcm nak bli buku ni.ingt nak cr this weekend kat mph sales.

berikut adalah yg dpt sy simpulkan hasil drp bacaan chapter 1 tersebut,

1. stop being a mediocre
2. add the spices in ur life by doing things other than ur daily routine, something that can change the world(wow!)eg start with visiting the orphans?
3. do whatever u feel like doing n stop doing something that u dun feel like doing.well as long as the thing is good lah.kalau mlanggar bts agama jgn la kan.

well cant wait to read the book myself!=)

k pen off.tata
