Saya hairan dengan pompuan yang..

1. Makin tebal mekap dia, makin lawa la muka dia.
- Yeker? Ramai je yang tak mekap dan masih mempamerkan kecantikan semulajadi. Plus, mekap tebal2 pon nanti bila nak solat kene bersihkan juga. Mekap natural sudahla, tak perlu blusher merah sangat. Yang mekap macam2 kaler tu semua untuk photoshoot majalah dan iklan tv je. Tahula sekarang banyak produk yang boleh transform muka jadi much better than muka asli. For special purpose ok la, tak perlu nak touchup hari-hari kan?
2. Makin cerah muka dia, makin lawa la muka dia.
- tak faham nape ramai pompuan nak kulit cerah? Kalau kulit muka dah asal-asal warna coklat atau kuning atau sawo matang, perlu ke kulit jadi putih melepak macam orang putih? Padahal ramai orang putih yang berhabis ribu-riban untuk sunbath, tanning, dan macam2 lagi utk tanak nampak putih. Macam mana dgn orang kulit gelap yang memang takkan jadi cerah, pakai la clorox sekalipun. Sungguh tidak adil untuk mengatakan cerah itu cantik kan! Yang penting kulit muka yang sihat, dihiasi dengan senyuman.Tak perlulah sampai warna muka lain dengan warna tangan kan?

Dysmenorrhea

It means pain discomfort during menstrual. Or popularly, period pain. Most women experience this during their menses days, every month, though some don’t, fortunately. And the experiences vary from one woman to another. Some say the pain will get lessen after they get married. I don’t know how valid this is.

The pain varies. My own experience? Let me reveal this in Malay. Sakit perut yang bukan macam biasa, sakit pinggang yang amat sangat seolah-olah patah pinggang dan sakit di bahagian dalaman yang berpunca akibat servix cramp. All these symptoms are so painful that I can’t even sleep just because I want to get over the overwhelming pain. Instead, I have to consume painkiller and wait for it to take effect. During the waiting, I will be so ‘half-life’ enduring the pain, tossing in my bed with various positions to calm down. After struggling for some time, I would normally get carried away into sleep and wake up feeling no pain anymore. Alhamdulillah~

Sometimes, it turns out to be good to me, either I feel mild pain, or I take the painkiller in advance, so that when the pain sets in, I’m already desensitized to feel the pain. Recently, I experience dysmenorrhea for 3 consecutive days, don’t know if this a bad sign (normally 2 consecutive days).

Some tips to control this:
1. Eat a lot of carbohydrates such as rice and bread
2. Avoid caffeine at any cost, coz it will make the pain worse
3. Avoid chocolate (but I don’t always obey this)
4. Avoid cold temperature / cold room / cold drink
5. Get extra heat from hot water in container or hot towel and press it to the pain area
6. Painkiller, the most effective one to kill the pain. Actually it is not that good for health. But if the pain is so unbearable, or I can’t be power-less to get my things done because of the pain, then this is my only solution.

And some women experience mood swing during menstrual? Maybe due to the pain that is affecting the mood? That they turn out to be grumpy or sensitive? I don’t know much coz I don’t experience this. I always try to control my mood though I’m in pain, usually by avoiding meeting people. Well, I do have PMS, but not by being moody, just being a bit weird..

However, as a Muslim, I have faith in Allah. And Allah says, setiap penyakit itu pengubat dosa.. (illness is a cure to our sin). And I accept this monthly test dengan redha, at least every month Allah has given me the chance to cure my sins, not only by remembering Him, but by fearing the torment of the hellfire as well, which pain is more unbearable and unspeakable by words. Naudzubillahi min dzalik.

What's wrong with me??!!

The price of Suzuki SX4 is RM90k after I checked it in the website, but then I kept telling people its only RM70k.

I wanted to go to KLCC but asked for a ticket to Masjid Jamek, at the Masjid Jamek station itself. Twice, different days.

I was supposed to buy 5 cinema tickets but after leaving the counter, I just realized that I purchased 6 tickets.

I was looking for remote control on my right-left-right-left. I was actually holding it anyway.

I went to the management office of my apartment at 8.30am, just to realize that it actually opens at 9.00am - though I already checked the opening hours the day before.

DUSH!!

dari hati tak turun-turun ke keyboard

I find my writings / posts lately have been so ... ermm unsatisfying and dull. I always want my posts to be something that comes from my heart, and worth sharing. But lately, I don't really get the right time to have the feel of blogging. I have plenty of time, but my time management is poor.

And I really need new face for this blog.


Wahai hati, sampaikanlah dengan indah dan bijak!

Pardon my language

My tongue is really twisted now, to speak normal Malay (language), Terengganu Malay and proper British English. Since I came back to UK, obviously I rarely speak English to anyone here because there is no demand for that. Except when writing (typing) like what I’m doing now. And also for the need to speak proper Malay – baku. I am enjoying speaking Terengganu accent now, the accent that I will not utter when I’m in UK coz I’m not used to using Terengganu accent when I’m not in Terengganu, even meeting the Terengganu people over there.

Because I was so used to speak ‘baku’, at first when I came back, my language was all mixed-up; baku + loghat Terengganu. Almost similar to tongue twister. And now, I realise that it is even harder to utter English that I was so used to sometime ago.. and I think my English overall is deteriorating and really need polishing..

One useful tip to share here, if you really want to improve your English in a non-english environment, all you really need is CONFIDENCE. Lacking of confidence will result in less use of English, improper use of some English words and poor quality of spoken English. Like me, the way I’m using my English now is more towards Manglish and I really should be cautious………

Ada apa dengan 20A?

Perlu ke adik Nor Madihah tu diangkat dan dijulang kerana dia berjaya mendapat 20A dalam SPM? Sama jugak macam yang lain2, Nor Amalina and the rests yang dapat banyak sangat A sampai kene pakai jari kaki nak kira.

Macam mana dengan orang2 lain yang dapat A kira pakai 1 tangan pun dah cukup, tak pun ada beberapa A je, atau yang takde A langsung? Tak cemerlangkah mereka? Tak mencapai matlamat SPM kah mereka?

Secara peribadi, saya berpendapat trend berlumba2 kumpul A banyak2 di Malaysia sebagai makin membimbangkan. Sebab orang dapat banyak A dipandang mulia, dapat biasiswa dan dijamin hidup senang. Orang yang dapat sikit A, atau tak dapat A langsung, dipandang serong atau tak dipandang langsung, siapa nak taja kalau nak lanjutkan pelajaran dan, ada masa depan yang cerahkah??

Bahaya..bahaya.

Kejayaan di bangku sekolah bukan diukur pada keputusan peperiksaan mereka. Mana2 orang yang dahulunya hanya dapat keputusan sekadar memuaskan, atau dikategorikan tidak cemerlang, pasti bersetuju dengan saya. Kerana, selepas sekolah, mereka telah hidup di bumi yang nyata, dan dunia sebenarnya tidak sesempit itu. Tuhan itu Maha Adil, dan tak pernah dalam Al-Quran kata yang hamba2Nya mesti berlumba2 menjadi genius. Yang pasti, banyak diulang2, "Apakah kamu tidak berfikir? - Afala ya'kiluun".

Tak tahulah kalau sebenarnya ada kan, saya dulu pun, bukan banyak sangat A dapat. Pakai jari 2 belah tangan pun dah cukup nak kira. Tapi saya percaya, kawan2 seangkatan saya dulu yang dapat A kurang daripada saya, dah bawa hala tuju masing2 dalam kehidupan mereka, apa yang terbaik untuk mereka, bukan semata-mata untuk memenuhi pandangan guru2, sekolah dan masyarakat. Tapi, memanfaatkan anugerah yang telah Tuhan kurniakan untuk mereka, dan mencari rezeki dengan apa yang mereka ada pada diri mereka.

No offense la kan, untuk orang2 yang dapat A berlambak2 tu. Tapi kalau nak bandingkan korang dengan orang yang tak dapat A langsung, itu bukanlah ukuran yang sebenar. Saya berharap, dengan pelajar2 yang dapat banyak A dijulang2, tak akan melahirkan ramai lagi pelajar2 lain yang ingin menjadi lebih hebat dalam pertandingan A terbanyak ini, kerana jumlah jari tangan dan kaki kita, hanyalah 20.


*orang yang tak cukup jumlah jari 20, nak kira pakai apa yerk? tapi kadang2 mereka ni lebih mulia daripada manusia berjari 20 tapi hati dan perangai kalahkan syaitan - diusir dari syurga kerana menjulang diri mereka macam bagus sebab diciptakan daripada api, bukannya tanah macam Adam.

I'm no Cinderella

--
"You are a prince charming
But I'm not a princess. Not even a little one.

And I don't want to be your doll either
So please don't be my puppeteer.

I want to live a real life
Not a fairy-tale dream
Or a desire-based drama.

I don't even wish to be a Cinderella."


Moral of the poem: U gotta left your shoe for the prince to return it to u. Otherwise, how could u be a Cinderella?

You’ve reached the LIMIT!

How do you know if you have reached the limit? Normally you only know it when you have passed through it. That means, a distance away from the real limit. (Er..can we stay in the limit?)

What’s the limit of being patient?

What’s the limit of being tolerant?

What’s the limit of having fun?

What’s the limit of freedom?

Where???

I don’t think anyone can tell that. Because as long as we haven’t reached the limit, we won’t know where it is. So, we keep going on and on up to a point that we cannot tolerate anymore. A point that we say, “I’ve reached my limit”, with association of some feelings, such as anger, impatient, aggressiveness, destructiveness…or maybe tiredness, relief, awake…

Recalling what I remember in maths, the limit is defined clearly. So, whatever it is, nothing can go across the limit that being set. That’s the case when we can define it, calculate and do anything with it, accompanied by any logical operations possible.

But maths cannot explain everything about limit.

Why do we have limits?

Why sky is the limit?

Why can we have unlimited internet access?

Is our love ever unlimited?

Even though in certain times we can push the limit, but there’s still limit to it.

Why do we ask for something unlimited, when at the same time we have to set the limit?

We know we have to do something when we reach the limit.

Be a man. Do the right thing.

Today I've came across to this Chinese saying, "be a man, do the right thing" ( n make sure u pronounce it in Chinese slang for originality). I think I've heard of it somewhere before this, but I can't remember when and where. It just sounds so familiar and interesting!

I'm not sure what is that right thing to do, maybe any Chinese friends can advise me on that..hehee.. but I like it. I mean, it advises u in your action.

and this video seems to be a hit for this saying. do enjoy as I am ^^

Why U should dump FRIENDSTER and switch to FACEBOOK

1. Friendster is just plain boring
2. Friendster always have this kind of maintenance, where it gets "bengong" or retarded sometimes
3. U can tag people in photo with Facebook, but Friendster cant
4. U can keep the photos u've been tagged in ur page even u dont own the photos with Facebook, but with Friendster u can only grab photos u dont own
5. U can have many applications in Facebook (as long u keep ur page tidy) but with Friendster, only certain application available and I dont even know how to manage them
6. U get clear notification if there's any update with ur Facebook, but with Friendster, U have to search 4 urself if there is any new comment in 1 of your loads of photos
7. Many people are switching to Facebook, and begin to neglect their Friendster, which means they no longer active in Friendster.
8. U can join a lot of groups, create event and so on with Facebook, but U cant do it with Friendster, unless u shout with ur Bulletin Boards, which is juz bored to be read
9. Most people tend to use Friendster as 'Facester' by posting their photos of gedik, hensem or lawa, cambagus... I dunno why they use Friendster as a medium utk 'perasan'. Instead, most Facebookers use Fb as 'Friendbook', where they keep in touch with friends by this medium, n more than friends, such as idols, celebs, anwar ke, mahathir ke kan..
10. I think with Facebook u can be more professional n organized. Friendster probably for beginners now, but Facebook is not bad for beginners either.



Why U should not create any FACEBOOK account

1. Addiction to it is not something easy to control
2. Addiction to open facebook everytime u online
3. Addiction to tag people the way u like
4. The font used in Facebook is quite small.. 0_O
probably size 4 or 6 of normal type. I would prefer bigger one, which is more convenient to my eyes, even tho i'm not short-sighted
5. U will lose the sense and touch of having real relationship with people around u, coz all u do is juz click n type. U don even get face 2 face with people. Probably good 4 ASBO (anti-social behaviour) / kera sumbang


I've deleted my old FS account, since I already hav FB. But I created a new account, so that I can still keep in touch with my friends who still don hav FB. So does Syiqin my sister, when r u goin 2 dump that lousy FS n switch 2 FB??

How lonely are you?

Just finished watching Sepi. I didn't get the chance to watch it back in Msia, so there it goes...in youtube.

My first thought was this must be a normal, touching movie. Since it's a continuation from Cinta (there are all 3, so the 3rd will be coming soon), I bet it wouldn't be more than typical Malay movie. Coz it seems like most people like Cinta, but after I watched it, I juz felt normal, nothing extraordinary. It's juz that I must give compliment to the cinematography. I dunno if Im using the correct term, but I mean the way camera shot every angle of acting. Great n impressive, the same goes to Sepi.


Sepi, not as lonely as it sounds, coz it fulls of great background musics, comforting you with every heartbeat. About 3 people, Adam (Afdlin), Sufi (Tony) and Imaan (Baizura).

Afdlin, lonely bcoz he hasnt met her soulmate. Sick of attending wedding ceremonies n being seated at 'the singles', table for single people. When he met Ilyana and getting close to her, it was too late, since Ilyana was actually ready for her wedding day. Then she cancelled it, bcoz she wanted Adam... poor ex-boyfren of Ilyana, had his wedding to be cancelled by a wedding planner-girlfriend.

Sufi accidentally hit Imaan when was driving his car with wife. n got his wife crashed by a big vehicle (truck, Storm-like) and dead, after he went out of car to look for Imaan's condition. He felt so lonely n guilty, that he had to run (as for jogging) until he started to know Marya, n learned that Marya was also lonely, longing for a child. Eventually she got pregnant, n Tony ended up waiting for her until his death.

Imaan... I guess she's kinda psycothic, since she coped with her shock of losing her bf, by having her bf still alive. Being chased by Ean, Imaan was comma for quite a time, n finally letting his Pierre bf go and rest-in-piece. ops peace.. So Imaan finally recovered her loneliness, by having Ean by her side..

Well, much better than Cinta, I would say, personally. Cinta is quite typical to me, n Sepi much better coz it knows how to touch ur heart, n mine as well, that it made my eyes wet 4 a while.


We do feel lonely. Longing. For somebody. So that we know how to appreciate the people around us. That sometimes we dunno that they chase away our loneliness. Even with a smile...


*****************************************************

Aku lari ke hutan, kemudian menyanyiku
Aku lari ke pantai, kemudian teriakku
Sepi… Sepi dan sendiri aku benci
Aku ingin bingar. Aku mau di pasar

Bosan aku dengan penat,
dan enyah saja kau, pekat!

Seperti berjelaga jika aku sendiri
Pecahkan saja gelasnya biar ramai
Biar mengaduh sampai gaduh

Ahh.. ada malaikat menyulam jaring laba-laba belang
di tembok keraton putih
Kenapa tak goyangkan saja loncengnya?
Biar terderah,
atau… aku harus lari ke hutan belok ke pantai?

Kenapa tak boleh makan kat tangga??

Semalam saya sekeluarga berbuka puasa seramai 5 orang. Biasanya 4 orang, dgn parents n adik, but my sister singgah iftaar b4 naik flite mlm ke KL. Meja makan biasa selesa dgn 4 orang je. So saya pun bwk makanan duk kat tangga batu menghala naik ke atas, dkt jugak dgn meja makan. Biasa la makan kt tangga ni, ade kerusi n meja sekaligus.

My parents ape lagi, bising la. Dorang suruh makan kt meja depan. Katanya tak elok makan di tangga. Pantang larang orang tua-tua. Padahal, dari kecik sampai la dewasa ni mmg hobi la makan kt tangga ni. Tak pernah ada masalah pon. And dari kecik sampai la ni, tah kali ke berapa dah kene sound jgn makan kat tangga…

Apa salah tangga? Mmg la ade pantang larang orang tua-tua jgn makan kt tangga, nnt orang nak meminang x jadi. As far as I know, rasional pantang ni klu orang suka bertenggek kt tangga depan rumah, which is kt luar rumah (ala-ala rumah Melaka, rumah2 moden biasanya dah takde tangga kt luar rumah). So x bagus la klu ade orang dtg, pastu tuan rumah tgh bertenggek kt tangga rumah. Mcm mana orang nak naik rumah. Camtula kira-kiranya…

So anak yang degil ni pun berhujah la dgn mak bapaknya yg terlebih dulu makan garam ni. Yang peliknya, dorang ni kata klu duduk kat tangga kt luar rumah takpe, bukan kt dalam. Lagi la penin. Ape la salah tangga dalam rumah ni. Pelik tapi benar..

Byk lagi pantang larang orang tua-tua yang mmg saya konon-kononnya anak moden ni x dpt ikut.

*Saya suka makan leher ayam, pastu mulalah mama bising kate nnt mase bersanding kepala jadi teleng. Apsal mase kahwin plak ade signal teleng tu? Ajaib dan tak masuk akal. Lainlah klu dpt dibuktikan secara saintifik, daging kt leher ayam tu, boleh menyebabkan sbelah urat leher akan menarik kepala menjadi teleng, pada waktu yg amat mendebarkan, contohnya masa kahwin.

*Jangan potong kuku waktu malam. Tapi slalu waktu malam la baru igt nk potong kuku.. yang ni rasanya sbb tanak berlaku injury, dulu-dulu kan waktu malam pakai pelita, so x cukup pencahayaan. Maybe zaman moden ni, kebimbangan ni applicable apabila black-out

*Klu menyanyi mase memasak, nnt kahwin ngan lelaki tua. Yg ni x dpt nk dibuktikan lg, tp naturally akan menyanyi jgk sometimes. Bukan ke jodoh tu qada’ dan qadar? Takkan nk lebih percayakan pantang larang, berbanding ketentuan Tuhan tu sendiri..

*makan setempat je, jgn pindah randah. nnt kahwin banyak. oh..xleh nk tolong, biasa la makan tukar tempat2 ni kan

Maybe ada lagi pantang larang lain cuma x tahu mende tu rupanya pantang larang orang tua-tua. Ntahlah. To me, mana-mana yang applicable tu maybe boleh diamalkan lagi. Tapi, habit makan kt tangga ni, mmg susah nk buang, selagi x jumpa apa salahnya makan kat tangga.

more pantang larang
