Buang Tabiat: Edisi I

Last night aku buang tabiat...melipat baju yang setinggi menara berkembar tu dalam bilik. On ac, set temperature paling low. Sebab aku bertripping! Trying to embrace the feel. And imagine macam mana keadaan winter di tempat bakal dilawat tu. Ticker in the blog stated four more weeks to go. Dupdapdupdap kejakunan sudah ni. Oh sungguh kasihan.

The only problem yang aku rasa boleh buat aku nampak macam toyol bingai is the fact that I don't have enough thick clothes to bring. Yang mau dipakai di dalam, before sarung jaket. Thermal socks & gloves sangat lebih dari cukup. Scarves untuk lilit leher aku sudah 'tempah' khas dari si Kizzy. Ears muff Daiso gift from Cik Err pun sudah ada. Boots untuk minta puji trip tourist berabis belum ada, sila tahu. Kalau ndak jumpa juga, harus aku pilih sport shoes jak ni nanti. Ndak payah verangan mau pakai heels or open sandals bagai. Itu sah tempah bala nama dia. 

Bekalan makanan di-settle-kan oleh teman2 di Kolumpur. Brahim's lah kan tetap menjadi pujaan hati. Lucky enough Lisa left her rice cooker to a friend there...maka bertambahlah jimat kami di sana. And paling penting, dijamin halal. Itaewon *sumber makanan halal di sana* is not near to our hostel hence I don't think going to & fro that place everyday worth our time. Membazir bayar tiket Subway ada. Harus berbelanja sebijak mungkin bila berada di tempat orang. Ateh mau berjalan style backpackers kan. Semua kena lah ndak berlebey & harus murah namun berbaloi2. Itu keywords!

Hmm enough sama semangat mangkit aku with the upcoming trip. Terlebey excited adalah perkara ndak baik. Bersederhana Bie. Cool down, sudah. Araso?

Before I end this...mahu sampaikan ucapan makaseh sama yang sudi nyanyi or was it u berpuisi lagu favourite gue. Through the phone, in the middle of the night. Suara merdu bagai katak puru panggil hujan kot


Dear you, I don't deny that I am quite happy with how things sail between us now. But I don't think I am ready to play the game. At least, NOT for the time being. I enjoyed this whole taman bunga kinda feeling but I am still stuck in the hibernation room, see? I got so comfy here I don't plan to go out as yet. Like I said many times, let us just follow where the current take us. 

Ada; ada. Tiada; tiada. Simple enough, yes?

Ulang Tahun Ammi si Jipun!

To my ever dearest Lyn! My bestguyfriend's soulmate. 

Wish a very warm birthday darling! And thanks for the fink frame. Really; it touched me when u told me the reason u bought it because it reminded me of u. One of the many sweetest things; u husband+wife always do to me. *hands on chest, eyes a bit teary*

Comel enough huh? Birthday 'girl' & her 2 heroes came to my office during lunch bringing along a paper bag; containing a gift inside. Little Jipun handed the bag; thus making it extra special to me. I love u three!
The oneyearoldplus Aniki @ Jipun! Sila tahu, budak kecil ini sudah dapat 'kaki'. 

Seeing him walking around the office; exploring every inches of the space...saddened me suddenly. It was just like yesterday I hold him in my arms; so tiny so fragile! Now he can already walk. And as his Daada reported to me, Jipun can even dribble a ball. Fine, that has made me feel not-young anymore. Phew, time flies! 

By the way, we didn't get the chance to lunch together as I have promised my YS ladies to have luncheon date earlier. So much of a surprise visit from the bestfriends, huh. Nonetheless, I appreciated the visit! Sila tahu, ia wujud dari hati paling dalam. Sungguh!

Fuh! I think this is too long an entry for a birthday wish already. Gotta hit the sack then. Mahu mimpi indah2, chop!

p/s "Cintai aku kerana Allah, kerana itu cinta abadi. Dan Insya Allah itu yang akan temukan kita di syurga nanti" <------- Apa bisa aku hanyut dengan ayat ini wahai teman?"

Pok Silap si Err

The PTPTN*'s web & Immigration e-system are the 2 portals I've been visiting these past few days. Checking on my status availability to travel. Haru wei sekali time cek-in di imigresen kaunter terus kena suruh pulang rumah. Rupanya black list sebab ndak bayar hutang. Dang!

Thirty more days to go before I'll be finally surrounded by the 'Annyeong-haseyo' people. Oh yeah, I am indeed excited & looking forward to it. 

And I've started assembling things...halfway ready to start packing. Woot! Jacket hunting went of success just now. I bought 2 just in case I lost the 'crave' to shop for one when I reached there. Trust me, shopping has never been the main agenda nor has it been in my top priority things to do when I travelled. Because I prefer sightseeing more. Loads could be learn by just appreciating things around us. But I don't deny, sometimes  I chose shopping as my therapy to heal the wounded heart. Please don't say to me money can't buy happiness because without money; I sure can't buy the jackets for the trip. See?

No Jackets = Devastated Me or better; Sculptured Me or perhaps More Drama Me!

Anyways, I will have a little post-new year celebration with Mother at this month end. We're gonna stay at a place I have long dream to set foot upon. It's somewhere near the town but with view super magic. I've seen pictures from friends' albums; doubtlessly I know I will fall in love with that place.

Read: This is of important as to tell Mother regardless my excitement for the trip to SK; she is forever #1 in my love-list. Kaitan? Erk, ini memang pok silap jak untuk minta kena kasi duit belanja time jalan nanti...choii!!!

The short getaway from work thingy will be on me. Kaedah memujuk? Right, comel enough huh! It's a bribe treat to dear Mother because I'll be leaving her alone in the house for more than a week next month. The middle brother will be back to his second hometown on the 23rd this month. Definitely Mother will be home alone when I leave for the trip. Aduh, half diri adalah risau.

I pray for things to sail smooth. And for life to treat me well. Fair. Insya Allah, amin.

Makaseh Sahabat!

Semalam ada sesi soal jawab & update berita hidup terkini bersama sahabaterbaikempatbelastahun aku. Korner sana korner sini, macam mana mau filter each stories pun harus in the end semua akan terbongkar. Sesi curhat lasted for an hour due to the usual excuse; perlu pulang awal kerana rindu telah menebal dengan 'isi' rumah.

Statement last dari beliau sangat menyentuh jiwa & raga. Ok, drama yang ini ndak perlu penitisan airmata kot. Hanya wide grin & hands on chest. And mata terkatup tanda penghayatan penuh keharuan.
Dear you my;
sahabaterbaikempatbelastahun 

Allah sent me you at a moment in my life
When He knew I needed a companion
Only He knew who was best for me
and knew every place I had been

Only Allah could give such a precious thing
as the gift of a companion like you
I pray everyday as our companionship grows
that you'll let me be there for you

I'll pray to Allah to soothe you
on days you're feeling blue
and when those tears are in your eyes
He'll wipe away those too

I'm sure that it was the plan of Allah
Who placed us two together
I'll pray everyday

That we remain Best Friend forever

I am ever grateful to be surrounded by so many beautiful souls in my life. To u sahabat...like u said; it's so uncool to say things as such. "That's that. U ain't loss a thing because u STILL have me."

That I know...all the time. Thanks again for ur time. For ur patience to layan this bingai toyol friend of urs.

Meaningful Initiator

On new year's eve, I was at 1Borneo. Had dinner & late movie date. Went back nearly midnight...the half moon wreathed with light I saw on the way home took my breathe away. As if the wonderful sunset in the evening wasn't enough to steal my attention. View of the half moon made my night...perfect ways to wrap my 2011. 

I was supposed to join the brothers & cousins at one of the place nearby; unfortunately I didn't make it. Lucky wakil ada untuk sumbang kehadiran! 

After the fireworks show by the neighbours, I decided to finish the work I was assigned for Ewan's party the next day. I hopped on my bed & continue to complete the task. Multi tasking I was. Texting & chatting at the same time. And I fell asleep! Woke up the next morning, with the mobile on my right hand & shawl on the left. Messy bed!!!...scissors, pieces of felts & whatnots scattered everywhere around me. Not a good image for a lass who is turning 30 this year. 

Tidur dalam keadaan mengantuk gaban, katil bersepah = Tanda pemalas TIADA ampun. 

Anyways, long story short. I spent my very first day of 2012 at Laura's place. It's our little man's full moon birthday party. Bless him! So now lets move to pictures. I am done talking already. Woot!

 Gift from heaven! Yes I know I've said it too many times already, like I care huh.
Lovelies Grahams! Maya Linawa & Ewan Tiandun. 
 The sisters with our little man. 
 Mel! My confidante. 
 The Grahams, super love!
 Ignore Stu! It's in his blood! Coolness.
 Again, ignore Stu's pose. He purposely posed like that!
 Before leaving...group photo with the Kakak Besar is a must. 
Grunge with her trademark pose I supposed. One word; I love the sisterhood. Healthy friendship equals to healthy us! 

Perfect day to start the year. And I pray for more marvelous things to happen this year. I welcome the bad side as well...because honey, life is never a bed of roses all the time. We still need the thorns to balance everything. Chill when life knocks hard on u. It might be a sign from the Creator...for us to be careful & not be too enamored with joy. Be moderate is the key!

Loads of hugs;
