Susah juga kalau pemikiran terlalu sempit

Semalam ternampak satu screen shot Google Translate yang dikongsi oleh satu group yang agak banyak yang 'Like' kat Facebook. Gambar yang dikongsi tu pun tak kurang banyak jugak la yang 'like' dan komen. 


Panas, kan?

And check this out. Some of the comments.



Ok, as much as I'm hurt and angry to see the word 'myQuran' which is supposed to be translated as 'Al-Quran ku' or 'Kitab ku', and instead Google Tranlate translated it as 'Syaithan', I just do not agree with some people who keep on blaming Google for this. 

Memang sebagai seorang Muslim, marah tu ada. Geram, sakit hati semua pun ada lah. Tapi tak perlu kot nak emo lebih lebih atas fakta yang korang pun tak tau betul ke tak. Nak marah, biar marah pada orang/organisasi/tempat yang betul. 

Kenapa salah kan Google seratus-peratus sebab Google tu Yahudi yang punya. Yakin ke memang Google buat translation macam tu? Cuba pikir, kalau betul Google nak translate kan macam tu, kenapa tak buat dekat semua bahasa? Kenapa buat kat Bahasa Malaysia/Bahasa Melayu je? Dah cuba check perkataan MyQuran tu kalau translate pada bahasa lain? Spanish? French? Arabic? Chinese? Korean? Indonesian? Orang Yahudi, kalau betul betul nak jatuhkan or hina Islam, tak kan guna cara paling bodoh setakat tukar Google Translate tu la. Terrrrlalu banyak cara lain diorang boleh buat secara halus. Pemikiran bagi luas sikit, boleh?

Dan yang paling penting, korang tau tak yang perkataan kat Google Translate tu boleh ditukar kalau kita rasa tak sesuai. Contohnya kalau kita type sesuatu dalam English, tapi bila dia bagi translate kita rasa tak sesuai, so kita bukak kamus, jumpa perkataan yang lebih sesuai, kita boleh tukar supaya orang lain yang nak guna perkataan tu akan dapat terjemahan yang lebih baik. Ok, paham dah?

Berbalik pada gambar dan amukan mereka2 di komen tersebut, mungkin juga itu bukan kerja Google. Mungkin juga itu kerja mereka yang tak bertanggungjawab. Benda ni bukan baru, sebelum ni pun dah kecoh kat facebook and twitter pasal perkataan/nama lain yang dah di set-kan pelik2 je oleh mereka2 yang tak bertanggungjawab ni. Sebagai contoh...



Pastu nak contoh lain, ni lagi satu.




Tak cukup lagi contoh? Ni macam mana perkataan tu boleh ditukar.



Ok, now, are we clear adik-adik?

Good.


Ok tapikan, dalam yang komen tu, tak semua salahkan Google. Cuba tengok bawah ni.

Komen yang 1st dari Cik F. Komen kedua dari admin page. Komen dari korang pulak?

So, anyways, terima kasih atas perhatian yang diberikan. Saya hanya memberikan pendapat.



Recipe searching made easy with Google

I was looking for some recipe on the internet via Google when I came across one thing that I've never realise before. Maybe some of you might have seen this, but this was the first time for me. And I think I'm loving Google a little bit more for this cause it helps make my recipe hunting easier. :D

Ok first of all, if any of you have known this for quite a while, please don't brag at me. Saya tahu saya selalu agak ketinggalan zaman dalam hal sebegini -___-"

So anyways....

Can you spot the thing that I said made my searching easier?


Yes, it's that thing on the left of the searching - wit boxes to tick and list to choose.

In example, if I were to find a Chicken Tikka recipe, it'll come out like this.


Which we can choose if we want to exclude any of the ingredients and then Google will refine the search according to our selection.


We can also choose preferable cooking time i.e. less than 15 minutes. Most recipe sites on the internet will state the cooking time took to prepare each recipe.


Easier, isn't it?

Now let's do some more recipe hunting, Juls!

Cuti cuti Medan - Part I

It was kinda a sudden decision to go on a trip to Medan. Mytarget for travelling this year was actually achieved with the Kota Kinabalutrip with Mum (day 1 and day 2) and the second Singapore visit with the family (which I realise Ihaven’t post anything on it, yet! USS babyyy!! Will do soon!!). Penang tripsdon’t count as travel, ok. :P

I was thinking about Bandung, Jakarta and Medan. Thoughpeople keep telling me how nice shopping in Bandung would be, I remembered howI used to love looking at Lake Toba’s picture and how I wished I would see thescenery with my own eyes. So I decided to ask mum on a trip to Medan and LakeToba. I extended the invitation to my aunt, uncle & cousins too. And theywe were last week – on our trip to Medan.

Web and mobile checked in made easy

We took an early flight to Medan. The journey took more orless one hour and we arrived at about 0845 local time (one hour late thanMalaysia). The tour guide was already there waiting for us. There were also onefamily of four and a honeymoon couple that join us in the tour.

We were told that we’re waiting for another group of fourthat would arrive at 1100 so we were brought to have breakfast first, then to batikand sarongs shop. We did a little shopping while waiting for the other group. Ididn’t really shop since we were just arrived and I gotta be careful not tospend much on the first day.




Later when the group of four Penangite guys arrived, we wentto have our lunch at a Minang restaurant before precede our journey to Parapatto witness the beautiful Lake Toba. The Rumah Makan ACC or Restoran ACC at Jalan Sisingamangaraja, Medan serves Minang food. The food was nice. Spicy but really nice. Even the place was nice - air-conditioned, clean restrooms and musholla was available too.



The journey to Parapat is like going to Kuala Pilah usingthe old road Bukit Putus or the very crooked road of Balik Pulau. If wouldunderstand me if you’ve used either one of these roads.

Hence, NOTE: The Parapat-Berastagi-Medan tour is notsuitable for kids especially for kids aged 10 and below. They’ll get bored andtired.

On our way, we made a stop at a shop which sells local foodproducts mostly nut based. The names of the food are unique i.e Ting Ting, TangTang, Teng Teng, Pang Pang, Pong Pong. Yes, I’m not kidding. Unique, isn’t  it? Haha.


The bottled teh-O ais.


We then continued our journey to Parapat. After more or less 4 hours, we finally reached thehotel at late evening and checked in to the hotel. Got off the bus and the Lake Toba was right before my eyes. I was awing the scenery,  like every second till I got into the hotel and the lake was not in my view anymore.

NOTE 2: If you’re not fussy about hotel rooms, don’t go forthe expensive 5 stars hotel. Tour for Medan-Lake Toba from most agencies’itineraries is almost the same – check in late evening, check out early nextmorning. It’ll be such a waste, unless if you spend more than a night in everyplace i.e Parapat, Berastagi, Medan.

I kept on thinking how I really wanted to see the Lake Tobaand the day finally came. And my hotel room faced the lake itself. I can’t getaway from the window. It was just… breathtaking!

View from my room.

As far as the eyes can see.. Subhanallah...


We had dinner at the hotel and went to bed quite early. Wehad another long day the next day.

To be continued.

Woke up very early in the morning. The day started earlier than in Kuala Lumpur. It was such a nice and calm feeling to woke up and went to the window and looked at the sun rise. Breakfast served at 0700 and as told, the tour guide came to pick us up at 0730. We check out from the hotel as we were going to stay in Berastagi on the second night. Picked up the family of four (from Melaka) at another hotel and went to a jetty where we took a boat to Samosir Island.

Samosir Island is an island off Danau Toba. The Lake Toba and Samosir Island were formed after the eruption of a super volcano some75,000 years ago. Subhanallah…

The boat ride to Kampung Ambarita in Samosir Island took around 45 minutes. On our way, the tour guide told us stories about the lake,the island, the Batak Toba people and lots more.  When we reached Kampung Ambarita, we were brought to the Stone Chairs of King Siallagan. The Stone Chairs is where the King and other village chiefs sat together to discuss and execute criminals.

We were told about the Batak Toba people – how they are still left behind in the world of modernization. Their only source of income is by selling souvenirs to the tourist. Which we know how competitive it could before them when all of them selling the same stuff, to the little amount of visitors on the island. If it’s not because of the crooked roads and long hours journey to reach Danau Toba from Medan town, I think more tourist would be visiting this place. Even ones who had went there would want to come again and again. Too bad… due to lack of awareness of the government to upgrade the road,and tourism facilities, the Batak Toba still live like we were 10 years ago.
 
Then we took the boat ride again to Kampung Tomok. No, I don’t think Tomok (New Boyz or OIM) comes from this village. We did not do anything much besides shopping there. I just spend time taking photograph at the jetty since I was pretty much done with souvenir shopping in Kampung Ambarita.

We went back to the Parapat mainland by boat and went to have lunch at Restoran Istana Minang in Parapat. We tried the ikan pora pora, which is also known locally as ikan Megawati .

The 4 hours journey to Berastagi started at around 1430hrs.We made two stops on our way there. First was at Simarjarunjung. We had a nice and warm famous local ginger tea and pisang goreng. Simarjarunjung is a bit colder than Parapat. We were told that it would be colder in Berastagi since it is in a high land.
 
2011_11_11_3183 2011_11_11_3187 
Next stop was at the Sipiso Piso waterfall. The 120 meters height waterfall drops from an opening on the rock face to the bottom. Beside the beautiful view of the waterfall, we could also see the Lake Toba from the northern.

It was time to say goodbye to the huge lake as that was the last stop where it could still be viewed. I’ll be back someday.

It was a drizzly journey so the driver had to be extra careful and thus longer time to reach Berastagi. We bumped into a lot of incident that showed us how the local people live, deal with accident etc. We finally reached the hotel in Berastagi at about 1945. Along the journey, I asked the tour guide’s help to get me a birthday cake for Mum’s 57th birthday. We managed to keep it secret and successfully surprised her after dinner.

I finished my Bachelor degree somewhere in 2008 and were conferred the degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Polymer Engineering) during the Universiti Sains Malaysia 38th Convocation in August 2011. I’ve started to happily going into the lab and doing experiments, and reading journals looking for information and keep updated with the current trends of polymer field since the industrial training period and during my final year of Bachelor where we needed to submit a dissertation on research as a fulfillment to our Bachelor degree. Hence I decided to pursue my Master’s degree and registered in December 2008.

 
I’ve always be thankful that I have one of the most impressive researcher as the supervisor, Prof Hanafi Ismail. He had assisted me in many ways. Always know where to lead me when I was off track. I blame myself for not giving enough determination to finish up with the thesis writing when I had the advantage of completed the lab work in quite fast. I had issues withmyself and so on and so forth. Prof Hanafi always asked when I would submit the thesis and there were always reasons to give.

I then moved back to KL for good and finished my thesis writing while I’ve started my part time basis in IMU. After another dramatic experience, I managed to submit the draft copies to Institute of Postgraduate Studies (IPS), USM in January 2011. Another challenge that I had to go through was when I needed to wait for 5 months to be finally called for viva voce while most students were called for their viva on the 3rd or 4th month after submission.


When I submitted my thesis back in January, I targeted that I’d be graduating in September 2011. So when I didn’t manage to submit the final copies of thesis to IPS by 31st August 2011, I was already down.  In addition of the another internal crisis I had with myself during the proses of finalizing the thesis, one after another issues came out that I needed to face, and that I was almost giving up on my Master. But thank God for the strength, and I thank everyone around me that never give up on supporting me as well.

And finally, there I was in the IPS (again after other dramatic incident *sigh*), I handed over the three final copies of hard bound theses, a CD, a form signed by the supervisor and dean and a graduation information form. 


 A week later, a letter came in.



Alhamdulillah.

I don't know where my passion to blog went,  but I honestly don't feel like blogging at the moment even though I have so much to tell. I hope the passion will come back to me sooner or later. -___-"

Anyway, went to the fabulous singer, Yuna's Terukir di Bintang showcase at DBKL last Saturday with Baiti, Kak Harim and Hanie. I knew I wanted to watch her again after I first went to her concert in DFP months ago. And there she was... as awesome as always. Going to her show is worth every penny spent.



She performed few of her old, famous songs such and some of her new songs which are included in her new album such as Fears and Frustration and Terukir di Bintang.

Bad experience with Sajian Enak, Kenanga Wholesale City

$
0
0
I don't normally blog about any shop that I went and had bad experience with. But I really really want to blog about this particular restaurant that I had a very very bad service I've ever received.

Went to Kenanga Wholesale City with mum, cousin, aunty and niece last Saturday. Was very hungry and looked for a place to eat. We saw this one Malay restaurant, Sajian Enak, located at floor 3A. They had promotions such as Nasi Minyak dengan Dalca Daging and Nasi Kerabu. Mum felt like eating Nasi kerabu so we decided to have our lunch there.


And let me tell you our experience there.


Situation 1 - around 1.35pm

Mum: Nasi Kerabu (RM6.00) satu.
Waiter: Ok. nak lauk tak, nasi tu tak datang dengan lauk.
Mum: Oh.. bagi ikan goreng tepung satu.

*Nasi kerabu RM6.00 is just nasi yang takde warna pun, ulam2 kacang botol/kacang panjang/taugeh dan sedikit kuah dicurah atas nasi.

Me: Nak Nasi Dagang satu.
Waiter:Nasi Dagang takde.
Cousin: Bagi Laksam ye.
Waiter: Laksam pun takde.
Me: Hmm.. Nasi lemak lah.
Waiter: Rendang ayam ke daging?
Me: Ayam.
Waiter: Ok

So we ordered:
Nurin - Nasi kerabu
Mum - Nasi kerabu + Ikan goreng tepung
Me - Nasi lemak rendang ayam
Cousin - Mee Rebus
Aunty - Keuy Teow Goreng

Nurin's Nasi kerabu came after about 20 minutes we ordered. I thought it would take such a long time since it is just putting things together on the plate, without any cooking necessary. Btw, they only send one nasi kerabu, mum's ikan goreng tepung was not ready yet, we guessed.

Situation 2 - around 2.15pm

Waitress: ada order nasi lemak kan? *looking at a receipt*
Me: Yes.
Waitress: Err..

Waitress went away.

Waitress came back to the table.

Waitress: Nasi lemak tadi order rendang ayam kan?
Me: Yes.
Waitress: Ayam takde la kak. Dah habis.
Me: *started to naik angin and all* Masa order tadi kenapa tak cakap takde ayam? Kenapa tanya nak ayam ke daging? Ni baru bgtau dah berapa lama tunggu dari tadi.
Waitress: Hmm.. tak tau kak..
Me: @$$^%&(*&(!%^&#
Mum: Nasi kerabu tadi order dua, lagi satu kenapa tak sampai2 lagi?
Waitress: Nasi kerabu dapat buat satu je kak, dah habis.
Mum: Kenapa masa hantar yang satu tadi tak cakap dah habis?
Waitress: *tunduk and walked away*

Kalau nak cakap bangang boleh tak? Why the hell did you guys take order for things that was actually finished or sold out or whatever. And don't bother to let us know if we didn't ask? For about 45 minutes we've waited??!!!!

Dah la tengah lapar. Lagi bertambah nak mengamuk lah kan.

Kiranya the only food sampai kat meja besides the drinks was Nurin's Nasi Kerabu. Mee rebus and Kuey Teow pun ntah apa cerita tak tahu, malas nak tanya.

Dah memang lapar dan bengang tak terkata, suruh mak rasa Nasi Kerabu Nurin sebab mak dah teringin tadi and ajak pergi tempat lain makan.

Went to the counter, ada the waiter yang ambil order and tanya kenapa tak bagitau makanan semua habis, he just said "Oh..ye ke.." and pergi dapur buat-buat nak check. Waitress lain yang uruskan the bill dengan muka tunduk je. The first guy never came back to us. I wonder if he was the owner or manager because he was the one yang panggil orang bagi arahan masa we first came in.

Oh, and the worst thing is.. NO ONE APOLOGISE...!! I honestly wouldn't have write this if at least one of them come to us and sincerely apologise!



Booooo!!!

Kalau nak berniaga, buat lah cara nak berniaga.

Oh look. We were caught on camera! Say cheese!


Taken from their FB.

Ok dah lepaskan kemarahan dan kebengangan. Sekian, terima kasih.

Jangan kau persoalkan siapa dihatiku

Please tell me caffeine has more advantages than disadvantages

$

I needed to hear that because apparently, I think (or I just realized) that my caffeine intake per day is way too quite high.

Lets see... what is caffeine?

Caffeine chemical structure

Caffeine is a biochemical that is produced exclusively in plant leaves, nuts and fruits of over 60 plants, including common tea (Camellia sinensis) leaves, coffee (Coffea arabica) and cocoa (Theobroma cacao) beans and kola (Cola acuminata) nuts and assorted berries. Caffeine also can be produced synthetically, and is commonly added to commercial drinks such as cola, sodas (pop), selected foods and diet products. This simple compound has significant biochemical and physiological effects, many beneficial and some, potentially, harmful (Reinhardt, 2009).
Cehhh macam tulis journal ngan thesis pulak dah kan. Rindu nak menulis la tu konon :P

So anyway, this is approximately what I take everyday:

Morning (at home) - 1 mug of Nescafe-O
Morning (at the office) - 1 tumbler (approx. 2 cups) of instant Nescafe/Hazelnut White Coffee/Black Coffee
Evening (around 4.30pm) - 1 tumbler (approx. 2 cups) of instant Nescafe/Hazelnut White Coffee/Black Coffee
Night - 1 big mug of Nescafe-O

Hmm... what do u think? Ok lagi tak?

"It's generally agreed that consuming up to 300 mg of caffeine per day is safe. That's roughly the amount of caffeine you would get from three cups (not mugs or big paper cups) of coffee. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant may want to decrease that amount or skip the caffeine altogether." 

Differentiate: cup and mug


I am not going to calculate how much caffeine I take every day. I think it will be scary. -____-"


Positive Side Effects of Caffeine

Alertness - Caffeine makes our brains active and alert for an hour or two. Regular intake has shown to increase brain power.
Anti-oxidant  - Caffeine can prevent heart diseases. For as long as you do not have a heart disease to begin with, caffeine can help prevent serious heart diseases and even some forms of cancer.
Stamina - Taking caffeine before exercising and working out slows down production of adenosine which 
causes muscle fatigue.

Negative Side Effects of Caffeine

Addiction  - When you start out the habit of drinking coffee every day, you will notice that in the long run, your body will be craving for it every day too. This is because caffeine is addictive. When we skip it, we become irritable, tired or depressed or even have headaches.
Dehydration - Caffeine in coffee has diuretic properties which can cause dehydration.
Panic attacks – Heavy doses of caffeine in our body for a long period of time can cause the fight-or-flight instinct and panic attacks. A person begins to have shaky hands, sweaty skin, and the state of always thinking that something bad might happen.

Please list more and more advantages of caffeine pleaseeee.....

Bila nak kahwin?

$
0

I bet that most of you who is still single or in a relationship, 24 and above have been asked with that question by the makcik makcik especially during hari raya or family member's wedding kan kan kan? Some of you might find it ok, senyum jawab dengan ikhlas but I know some of you feel totally the opposite - menyampah, jawab dengan sakit hati jiwa raga, and ada yang terasa juga. Tapi ok la jugak kan kalau yang tanya tu makcik makcik - sinonim dengan perkataan busybody mengambil berat. -___-"

(Photo: Ghada Abdel Aal's I Want to Get Married)

But have you girls been asked that particular question by your guy friends? And then they make comments on you dengan jawapan - jawapan yang diberikan? I do. In fact there are many guy friends - married or not - have asked me the same question. Yang buat sakit hati nya adalah bila mereka memberikan komen sesuka hati diorang je. Here are some of the comments/assumptions made by them that I've compiled.


Situasi 1
"Bila nak kahwin?"
"Takde jodoh lagi la..."
"Kau memilih sangat memang lah."

First, you were never a close friend. How do you know if I have been choosy? One of them siap buat statement "Biasa lah orang KL, mesti carik orang KL gak.." Oh apekah ini? Tak paham betul orang yang ada mentaliti begini.
Kalau betul memilih pun, setakat jadi memilih sikit-sikit tak salah rasanya. Kalau Nabi s.a.w berpesan pada lelaki untuk mencari wanita kerana harta, keturunan, kecantikan dan agama untuk dijadikan panduan memilih bakal isteri, mesti lah kami yang perempuan-perempuan pun nak memilih yang terbaik untuk kami kan. Bukan la memilih sampai nak orang bergaji 5 angka, muka macam David Beckham semua tu. Tapi kamu nak juga mencari suami yang boleh jadi mengimamkan kami, yang boleh menerima keluarga kami dan yang boleh mendidik anak-anak kami nanti. Am I right, ladies..?

Situasi 2
"Bila nak kahwin?"
"Takde duit lagi... macam mana nak kahwin."
"Alaa kau tu perempuan, nak pikir pasal duit ape nye. Nanti laki jugak bagi duit."

Fuhhh...untunglah bakal isteri kamu itu ya.. Semuanya ditanggung beres. 
For me, growing up with a single-independent mother had taught me a lot to being an independent woman, too.

Bak kata Destiny's Child kan...

"The shoe on my feet, I've bought it 
The clothes I'm wearing, I've bought it 
The rock I'm rockin', I've bought it 
'Cause I depend on me 
If I wanted the watch you're wearin', I'll buy it 
The house I live in, I've bought it 
The car I'm driving, I've bought it 
I depend on me, I depend on me"

Yeahhhh that's right! (Cuma yang rumah tu belum lagi la hehee) 
So anyway, zaman sekarang ni kalau nak harapkan suami je bagi belanja perkahwinan, mau dia kena bagi RM15-20k kurang-kurang untuk belanja kat KL. Berbalik pada soalan di atas tadi, saya tak memilih lelaki yg mampu bagi macam tu ok.
Duit rumah, duit kereta, duit makan, duit minyak, duit belanja anak-anak, duit nak jalan-jalan - nak harapkan suami je ke? Kalau saya memilih, carik lelaki bergaji 5 angka, mungkin boleh lah nak harapkan beliau seorang, sambil duduk rumah main Facebook, main Twitter, blog hari-hari kan. 

Situasi 3
"Bila nak kahwin?"
"Tak ada orang nak *gelak gelak*"
"Tu laa ada orang nak, kau tak nak. Jual mahal."

Ni lagi satu. Mana kah anda tahu ada orang nak kat saya wahai incik kawan yang berjantina lelaki? Ada yang datang bagitau kat anda kah beliau nak saya?
Kalau tak ada, diam.
Kalau ada, cakap kat dia, kalau nak bukan cakap kat anda, tapi cakap kat mak saya.

Kadang-kadang tak faham kenapa sesetengah orang bersikap tidak sensitif terhadap perasaan orang lain. Kalau korang dah kahwin, Alhamdulillah.. jaga la anak isteri tu baik-baik. Syukurlah kerana dikurniakan jodoh dan diberikan rezeki oleh Allah. Yang belum berkahwin tapi buat statement-statement seperti di atas tu, semoga anda ditemu dengan jodoh yang baik secepat mungkin juga.. Aminnn~

Oh ya. Tak ketinggalan ada jugak wanita2 yang dah berkahwin guna ayat seperti "Aku masa umur macam kau dah kahwin dah ada anak dah" atau "Teruk-teruk aku pun dah kahwin dah, kau tu?". Yup, ada je yang buat ayat macam tu. Astaghfirullahalazim.. Jodoh dan rezeki tu kuasa Allah. Bukan kah Allah dah pesan semua yang kita ada ni pinjaman je? Yang duk takbur sangat tu tak takut Allah tarik balik?

Dari Abdullah bin Amru bin Ash berkata, beliau mendengar Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda: 
"Allah Ta'ala telah menetapkan segala ketetapan (takdir) bagi seluruh makhluk lima puluh ribu tahun sebelum diciptakanNya langit dan bumi; dan (ketika itu) Arasy Allah Ta'ala berada di atas air."

So, soal jodoh ajal maut rezeki ni kite berserah je pada Allah, dengan usaha dan tawakkal. Kalau duduk berlengang je tanpa usaha, tunggu duit jatuh dari langit, tunggu anak jutawan masuk meminang pun tak boleh jugak. 

Kepada sesiapa yang dah baca entry ni, harap paham-paham lah perasaan orang lain jugak dan tak sesukati hati je tanye orang dan buat andaian-andaian yang korang tak sedar boleh melukakan hati rakan-rakan. Ok? Cheers! ;D

Baiti asked if I wanted to help answering some sort of questionnaire for The Star's International Women Day slot. One of the requirement was 'send your photo in high resolutions.'

B warned "Gambar YOU ok bukan Nurin plss. Kau bagi gambar anak buah kau, siap hang."

Haha. Macam tau tau je I have more photos of niece and nephews than my own photo.

So anyway, since I had agreed to help her friend to answer the questionnaire, I have to search for the best OWN photo in high resolutions to send to them. I looked in my phone, I looked in my Facebook albums. Then only I realize that I have a huge problem.




 


 



Realize one thing?

So I texted Baiti..

Along was on leave from work yesterday as her son a.k.a our budak handsome, Hadief Zayed was on fever. We commented on Hadief's photo on Along's Facebook when she suddenly stopped replying. I only thought shew was busy handling her two little monsters at home. An hour or so, I received a text from mummy saying Hadief is admitted into the hospital, again. I was quite surprised since just few minutes ago Along was on FB and didn;t say a word about hospital.

Asked mum and cousin Effa what had actually happened. Basically what I was told is that Hadief was on fever and he was suddenly became unconscious. Luckily his grandma was looking at him, calling out for him, and luckily Along was on leave and at home. And luckily Along remembered there was a new hospital just 1 km away from her house. Hadief remained unconscious until they arrived at the hospital and was bathed with ice water and given oxygen supply.

Went to visit him at the Columbia Asia Hospital, Cheras Selatan after work. He looked good, Alhamdulillah.


So called resting.

Abang nak jugak rasa baring atas katil sambil mata jeling-jeling handphone

Sibuk main Angry Bird x layan orang ajak tangkap gambar.. -__-"

The most important thing Along knew she need to bring to the hospital...


 Yes. To make sure Hadief can go to sleep peacefully at night.


Hadief is still in the hospital now. They were supposed to wait for the blood test result - not sure if it's out yet. Hope he'll get well soon!

p/s: Please pray for handsome boy's health. Thanks!

One of my favourite Elite's song. Dari dulu-dulu suka lagu ni selain lagu lain yang agak famous seperti Manisnya Senyumanmu dan Trauma. Kadang-kadang boleh tahan makan dalam jugak lagu ni. :p Try carik video lagu ni tapi x jumpa2. Audio je yang ada.

Sekali sekala dengar balik lagu zaman-zaman muda remaja dulu layan jugak, kan?


Pencuri Hati
(Elite)

Terkenang zaman remaja 
Akulah juara dalam becinta 
Banyak hati telah ku luka 
Ku terus melangkah tanpa rasa 
Bersalah di dada 
Apa yang utama 
Ku menjaga hatiku 
Agar tak dihampa 
Tapi nampaknya ku tewas kini 
Dengan caramu yang tersendiri 

Sememangnya ku dulu pencuri hati 
Namun pencuri ini sedar dan berjanji 
Takkan melukakan hati yang tulus sejati 

Ramai yang tahu diriku pencuri hati 
Namun ku juga dambakan cinta abadi 
Dan bukannya suatu rahsia hatiku dicuri dirimu 

Segala peluang yang tiba 
Tak pernah ku guna 
Benar berusaha 
Ramai yang datang dan pergi 
Semuanya ku tepis 
Mungkin kini 
Aku kan percaya cinta selamanya 
Asal kau juga yakin dengan kita 
Demi cintaku padamu 
Ku tinggalkan caraku dulu 

Telah ku pelajari 
Dari kesilapanku dulu 
Moga kau kan memahami


*ehemmmss!*
