If I Were A Boy

I love this song. If I were a boy by Beyonce. But today I found out about the one she sang with R Kelly. And I found it really interesting. It's soooooooo cool! And to me, it's like a conclusion about a man-woman relationship. Wanna listen to the song? Listen here. And you can sing along with the song. And I hope you'll find what I mean..


IF I WERE A BOY

(Beyonce Feat. R. Kelly)


[Beyonce:]
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what i wanted then go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted, and I'd never get confronted for it
Cuz they'd stick up for me

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
'Cuz I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cuz he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

[R. Kelly:]
If you were a boy
Then, girl, you'd understand
You need to stop listenin' to your friends
Love, respect, and trust your man
So I go to clubs with the guys
And sometimes flirt with the girls
I should be able to roll out, as long as I'm comin' home to you
And give you the world

But you're not a boy
So you don't have a clue
How I work and pay the bills
How everything I do is for you

[Beyonce:]
I'd listen to her
'Cuz I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cuz he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

[Beyonce:]
If I were a boy (If I were a girl)
I would turn off my phone (I wouldn't play games)
Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that I was sleeping alone (girl you know that's wrong)
I'd put myself first
And make the rules as I go
'Cuz I know that she'd be faithful
Waiting for me to come home, to come home

[R. Kelly:]
But you're not a boy
So you can't understand
You are not a perfect woman
And I am not a perfect man

[Beyonce:]
I'd listen to her
'Cuz I know how it hurts (and I know how you feel)
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cuz he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed (said I'm sorry)

[Beyonce:]
It's a little too late for you to come back

[R. Kelly:]
But I can't let you go, 'cuz I'm too attached
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong

But you're just a boy....

You, Mother-In-Law, and Your Fridge...


Hi people~ I'm done with my holidays. I had a fannnnnnntastic 6-day holidays. How about you?

Now I'm back to the office with less work to do since my bosses are still on holidays. Yay!! I should be enjoying my work life while the bosses are not around, shouldn't I? =D

Anyway, that's not the thing. My 6 days off. Well.. I had the whole first 2 days with my dear. We had our fun going places, shopping and do some stuff. You know, the kindda stuff that you do before your mother in law (MIL) gives you a visit. YESS! My MIL had paid us a visit. So I've been spending the rest of four days with my MIL and dear's family.

Apparently, this second visit had made me realize about a lot of things. I'm glad that I manage to see things in a different perspective. Previously, I've shared some experience about what to do if your MIL is coming for a visit, and this time is more like ho to convince you MIL that you love her son and take good care of him, emotionally and physically.

I'd like to remind you once again on some few important stuffs. And of course, this is not happening to me. It's just some advice from a friend.

Here's the thing. Apart of making your house in super clean condition, please make sure that you get rid of "unwanted" things from your fridge. Ha ha! Yeah, yeah..I know..it may sound ridiculous, but some people were too busy to clean their fridge. Believe me. They still have the food that still in pack which she bought from a market 2 weeks ago.. Still have the bloated milk, onions that turn into a plant in your own fridge and many more.. Please check your fridge ya. That's the whole thing about it. You know why? I tell you why..



Because..



SOMETIMES your MIL might go and check your fridge, to "see" how actually you take care of her beloved son, what do you feed him, do you feed him with healthy food and many more. Ouh, some MIL can tell what kindda wife are you by just looking through your fridge. So, just be ready.

Before she came by, make sure you put a lot of veges, some meat, milk, cheese and fill in the blank. You know, just fill whatever food that wont make your fridge look empty. This is not to be so fake, or trying to impress or pretend, but just in case if she wanna eat some fruits or juice for breakfast. So you have everything in your fridge that you don't hafta worry about. =D

For Malaysians, don't forget to prepare all the spices, belacan, chilli paste, and all those simple, basic spices in your kitchen. Again, for the same reason - just in case she wanna cook for her son. Or if she WANTS you to cook for them.

Above all, please keep your recipe book at the safest place, nearest you at the kitchen. So you can possibly prepare any kind a food for them, since THIS IS THE SECOND VISIT.. Remember that..

Last but not least, all it takes is just some effort and sincerity. Smile is the best medicine. That will show her that you're confident with your capability to have a perfect life with her son. MIL will simply love you for that. Till then.. Have a happy holidays with your loved ones!

OMG! My Hair Is Getting Thinner!

I used to have thick, shiny, long hair. But it was like 16 years ago! Seriously. If I join the model agency, may be I would be selected to be the model for shampoo ad. \o/

BUT, everything changed since I started staying in the hostel back then. Woke up as early as 6am, queue to take shower, take a-5-minute bath then rush to school. I went for sports trainig in the afternoon and after that prepare myself for homework pulak. And I slept around 12 - 1am everyday. I didn't really have a chance to pamper my hair and did it only er..say..er..once a week? Yeah. Once a week. I failed to take good care of my long beautiful hair. After a few months, the problem occurred. My hair were falling. Lucky me I don't have more problem than that. It's just a hair loss problem. Man, it took me ages to have beautiful hair but in just one snap, I lost everything. If only I could turn back time kan...

Anyway, now the problem is getting worse. And I'm kindda worried. I loss about more than 20 hair strands A DAY now. Urrgghhh..Im worried..and I'm looking for a better treatment. I did the Yun Nam Hair Care but er..the outcome was not soo satisfying. And it didn't satisfy my "pocket" as well.. hehe.

My gramma used to give me few tips. May be I should try each one of them. And I'd like to share the tips with you.

1. Coconut Milk can actually help to moisturise your hair. At the same time it will prevent and if God Will, cure the hair loss.

----> Method: Get a fresh coconut and shred it. Put the coconut flake into a bowl and add some warm water. Then you can start squeezing to get the coconut milk. Put the milk onto your head and begin to rub gently. Get a warm towel and cover your hair. Leave for a few minutes. Then rinse through warm water and shampoo. Repeat this method for 2-3 times in a week.


2. Aloe Vera is good to treat hair loss. Just apply the aloe vera gel on the scalp. Leave for few minutes then rinse.


Haih~ *sigh* I should try those two easy cheesy tips. I wanna do some research too on which method should I go for. Hurm.. I heard about those Ayurveda method, some traditional and herbs from Chinese treatment, and some Malay treatment. Any suggestion from you? Next time I'll come back on this but with more info! Have a pleasant say~



Your Wedding Song?



Since now is the "wedding season" in Malaysia, a few friends had asked me to do them a favor - The Wedding Song~ I forgot to mention about the wedding song in my previous post on wedding preparation.

During my wedding day, I choose Unbelievable by Craig David. It's the most beautiful song I've ever heard, which had helped me to cool down while walking on the aisle and expressed my feeling to him. It's been suggested by Cik Diha the Shadow Dancer *wooppsss*.

And of course, before I decided the song, I did a lot of surveys too. I mean, I did some job on that too. Among the songs that I had in mind were This I Promised You (NSync), I Will Always Love You (Whitney Houston), With You (Chris Brown) and some other Indonesian songs by Dewa19.

Finally, when I first listened to Unbelievable, my hair on my hand started to stand. My hands and feet were getting colder. I felt like I had this special chemistry with it. So I picked it. \o/

So, have you decided yours? I have few link to help you choosing the best song that suits you. But before that, you should look at your wedding theme, and your programme tentative and start choosing the song that suits you most. Most importantly, both of you love the song. Happy picking up the right song! And have a pleasant wedding ahead~

ASEAN University Games 2008..and Malaysian Football Team


It's the 14th ASEAN University Games (AUG 2008) and this time Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) has been selected to be the host. It started since 10th December 2008 and today is the last day of competition. Tomorrow is gonna be the closing day.

Anyway, I went to watch the final football game between Malaysia and Thailand today. During the first half, Thailand managed to get the first goal about 10 minutes after the game started. Even they had lost to Malaysia (0-1) during the preliminary round, but it seemed like Malaysia was playing too slow and play safe. Thai had higher percentage of ball possession most of the time. It was full of "Oohh", "Aahhhhh", "Alamak" and "Oi" and "Uishhh". Seriously, it was a heart thumping game!

After a 15 minutes break, Malaysian team still trying to score a goal, but it's not a fruitfull one. Haih..I feel like wanna go in and play je..but of course, I don't even know how to kick a ball, that make me the last to go in. =D

Then, when it's about to finish, one incident had happened. When one of Malaysian player try to challenge the ball, the opponent got pissed off. And believe me, the angry Thai keep his knee high up, and landed his boot on the Malaysian thigh. For FEW TIMES!! He kicked the naive Malaysian footballer. And..and..and..to make it worst, the Thai sub ran in and kicked the poor Malaysian too. All of us was stunned! and shocked! Then things became uncontrolled. The mad spectator started to throw their water bottles and shouting and cursing too.

That was sooo UN-professional! They were leading by one goal. And they were actually winning dah pun.. It was like 5 minutes left till the ref blow the whistle pun.. And why the hell he acted so stupid like that? I was so pissed too. He may kill or broke the victim's leg too! Daymn, I wonder what was he thinking.. The ref just gave him a RED card. But, can it cover the pain of the leg? My heart feel like being sliced and I could feel the pain too~ hehe. *drama*

But it's true. This was suppose to be a fair play. And through sport, it should help us building a better spirit, better attitude in oneself..

*sigh* Looking from the bright side, even though Malaysian just managed to get a Silver for football, to me deep in my heart Malaysia is still a CHAMP who play with full hearted, high spirited and show their greatest commitment and effort to win the game (even they were actually playing so lame, weak, and I can't actually notice their "secret" strategy to win).

Above all, Malaysia is still the hero..

LOVE CHART on Friday~

As I was driving to the office this morning, I was listening to FlyFM Pagi Show. To my surprise they were actually having this Love Chart on air. It was actually top 10 famous our I should say favourite love songs that had been voted by the listeners. And guess what, listening to all the love songs early in the morning, made me thinking of my memories as a couple of love bird back then. \o/.

Anyway, feeling so happy to start a day with, I kept singing and singing all the love songs ( I heard) along the way. So, here's the TOP 10 Favourite Love Songs :-


No. 10 --> All My Life (by K.C. and Jojo) - Ooo man! I luv this song!


And all my life
I've prayed for someone like you
And I thank God that I, that I finally found you
All my life
I've prayed for someone like you
And I hope that you feel the same way too
Yes, I pray that you do love me too



No. 9 --> L-O-V-E (by Nat King Cole) - er..I like this song too~ =p


L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can



No. 8 --> Kau Ilhamku (by Man Bai - Malaysian Artist) - woo hoooo.. feel like wanna learn to play this song using a guitar.. Serious!

Beribu bintang di langit kini menghilang
Meraba aku dalam kelam
Rembulan mengambang kini makin suram
Pudar ilhamku tanpa arah

Sedetik wajahmu muncul dalam diam
Ada kerdipan ada sinar
Itukah bintang itukah rembulan
Terima kasih ku ucapkan



Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to listen to the songs at number 7 and 6 as I was running from the car park to my office. Silly me I forget to bring my earphone for my hp..Can anybody help me please....


As I on my pc, I quickly start to continue listening to FlyFM again. So, here it goes..


No. 5 --> Endless Love (by Lionel Ritchie feat. Diana Ross)


And i
I want to share
All my love with you
No one else will do...
And your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes
They tell me how much you care
Ooh yes, you will always be
My endless love


No. 4 --> I Do Cherish You (by 98 Degrees)


I do cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
I do


No.3 --> Crush (by who else, David Archuleta) - I'd say..hurm..Ok la.. I'd prefer Cook than Archuleta. =D Ouh yeah baby! Yeah!! Frankly speaking, er.. I din't really find it as a love song. It's more like a urm..how do I say.. a hah! It's more like a "Cinta bertepuk sebelah tangan". hikhikhik.



No. 2 --> Amazed (by Duncan James) - my aunt has her "crush" on this song..this one of her favourite.. And I like it too~ Look at how he actually "amazed" by the woman. If it's real, the girl must be soo lucky~


The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me, baby you surround me
You touch everyplace in my heart
Oh, it feels like the first time everytime
I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you


And THE WINNER IS

.

18 Disember 2008


It's our anniversary! It's already 2 years in service, without we realizing it. Ah.. well.. time passes so fast! It makes me realize how wonderful it is, within these two years, we've gained a lot.



From zero to hero.


From powerless to "powerity"


From penniless to "pennifull"


From less of experience to a stack of some experience


and the most important thing is


From less friends to A LOT of friends, who you treat more like families. The brotherhood and sisterhood which been built along the way, through thick and thin, through hardship and happiness, and all the things you gather from the friendship.


Guys,

It's been 2 years since we met, since we know each other. All I wanna say is

Happy 2nd Anniversary..in service. May Allah bless us all and may our friendship remain, till death do us part.



*soooooo dramatic*



Chill guys! There are 20-40 years to come. Happy working and serving for our nation. Work with integrity..blah..blah..blah.. Have a wonderful years ahead~

Abu, Cikgu Murni, Guru Besar, Dan Dot..Dot..Dot..


Kisah ni sebenarnya aku dapat dari sorang kawan yang sememangnya suka menghantar emel-emel yang berbaur macam ni.. Satu kisah yang boleh kita jadikan teladan untuk masa depan supaya taked orang yang boleh buli kita dan anak-anak kita kelak.. Selamat membaca~ =D



Seorang guru, Cikgu Murni (Umur: 22) menghadapi masalah dengan salah seorang muridnya (Abu). Lalu guru ini bertanya kepada murid tersebut :

"Apa sebenarnya masalah awak, Abu?"


Lalu Abu menjawab,

"Saya terlalu cerdik untuk berada di darjah 4,kakak saya menduduki UPSR dan saya lebih cerdik dari dia, maka saya seharusnya berada di tempat yang sama juga!".


Cikgu Murni dah tak tertahan. Dia bawa Abu ke pejabat guru besar. Sementara Abu menunggu di ruang tamu, Cikgu Murni terangkan keadaan tersebut kepada guru besar. Guru besar mengatakan yang dia akan berikan ujian kepada Abu dan jika Abu gagal menjawab, maka Abu harus kekal di darjah 3 dan berkelakuan baik. Abu dibawa masuk ke pejabat guru besar dan Cikgu Murni terangkan pada Abu dan Abu bersetuju untuk ambil ujian yang akan diberikan.


Guru Besar : Apa 3 x 3?

Abu: 9

Guru Besar : Apa 6 x 6?

Abu: 36


Guru Besar terus bertanyakan soalan2 berdasarkan tahap pencapaian murid2 UPSR dan si Abu mampu menjawab tiap soalan yang diberikan. Lalu Guru Besar memandang Cikgu Murni dan berkata,



"Saya rasa murid ini sepatutnya berada di darjah 6",



Lalu Cikgu Murni berkata pada Guru Besar,



"Saya ada soalan saya sendiri, boleh tak saya ajukan pada Abu?".



Guru Besar dan Abu bersetuju.


Cikgu Murni: Apa yang lembu ada 4 di badan, tapi saya cuma ada dua?

Abu: (berfikir) Kaki

Cikgu Murni: Apa yang ada di dalam seluar kamu tapi tidak pada seluar saya?

Abu: Saku

Cikgu Murni: Apa yang bermula dengan huruf "K" akhir dengan "A", ianya berbulu, berbentuk oval, nyaman dan mengandungi lapisan nipis keputihan?

Abu: Kelapa

Cikgu Murni: Apakah yang masuk keras dan berwarna "pink", bila keluar lembik dan melekit


Mata Guru Besar terbuka luas dan sebelum sempat dia menahan, si Abu terus menjawab:


Abu: Gula-gula getah (Bubblegum)

Cikgu Murni: Apa yang mereka lakukan, lelaki secara berdiri, wanita secara duduk dan anjing secara tiga kaki?


Mata Guru Besar sekali lagi terbuka sangat2 luas dan sebelum dia sempat hendak menahan si Abu terus menjawab.

Abu: Bersalaman



Cikgu Murni: Baik, sekarang saya akan ajukan soalan berbentuk siapakah saya, okay?

Abu: Baik Cikgu

Cikgu Murni: Awak memasukkan batang kedalam saya. Awak ikat saya untuk saya berdiri. Saya kebasahan sebelum awak.



Guru Besar kelihatan resah dengan soalan yang diajukan oleh Cikgu Murni.



Abu: Khemah

Cikgu Murni: Jari memasuki saya. Awak menggesel-gesel saya bila awak teringatkan saya. Lelaki idaman akan mendapat saya dahulu.



Guru Besar semakin resah dan tidak selesa. Lantas terus meneguk segelas Nescafe 3in1.


Abu: Cincin perkahwinan

Cikgu Murni: Saya ada bermacam-macam saiz. Bila saya sakit saya akan meleleh. Bila saya keluar, banyak tisu yang akan digunakan. Bila awak hembuskan saya, akan berasa lega.



Sekali lagi Guru Besar rasa amat resah dengan soalan yang di ajukan oleh Cikgu Murni dan ingin membantah, tapi si Abu mendahuluinya.

Abu: Hidung

Cikgu Murni: Saya batang yang keras. Hujungnya tajam. Saya akan datang dan masuk dengan lajunya.

Abu: Anak panah

Cikgu Murni: Sekarang saya akan ajukan soalan dalam Bahasa Inggeris, okay?

Abu: Okay

Cikgu Murni: What word starts with a 'F' and end in 'K' that means lot of heat and excitement?

Abu: Firetruck

Cikgu Murni: What word starts with a 'F' and ends in 'K' & if you dont get it you have to use your hand.

Abu: Fork

Cikgu Murni: What is it that all men have one of. It's longer on some men than on others, the pope does not use his, and a man gives it to his wife after they are married?

Abu: Surname

Cikgu Murni: What part of the man has no bones but has muscles, lots of veins and loves pumping?

Abu: Heart



Guru Besar menghembuskan nafas kelegaan bila mendengar jawapan yang diberikan oleh si Abu, lantas berkata



"Baik hantar murid ini ke Universiti Malaya; jawapan yang saya fikirkan semuanya salah".




P/s: Jawapan kamu agaknya sama macam Abu ke atau ada jawapan yang laen????? =D

What Kindda Shoes?



This article is forwarded to me by a friend of mine, and actually from The Star Online. Hope you can choose your shoes perfectly according to your outfit~



HIGH IN HEELS

What kind of shoes should I pair Wide Trousers and Narrow pants with

With Wide Trousers, forget flats. Your legs will look drowned in it. Choose instead a wider, stacked heel for a contemporary look . And make sure your shoes are of medium height to high heel. With Narrow Pants, opt for a pair of sexy stilettos. This extends the lines of narrow trousers and makes your legs look longer.

I love miniskirts and always pair them with heels. Somehow I feel uncomfortable wearing heels that are more than 2 inches high when I am in my minis. Am I being overly concerned? Any other advice for skirts of different lengths

Honestly, with mini skirts, you already have enough leg exposed. So, heels that are higher than 2-3 inches can make your overall look tacky. So, you are absolutely right! Opt instead for knee high boots if you are leggy enough.

For skirts that are slightly above the knee or longer, you can opt for heels that are 2-3” high. Conservative pumps with rounded or square toe and a stacked or slightly tapered heel will make you look professional. With long skirts, opt for flat shoes, ballet slippers or backless slide-ons.

My sister has a problem with mixing and matching her shoes, and I can only advice her based on my gut feeling. How do I give her specific rules to follow to minimise her mistakes


Try this simple method: Think Geometry.

Let's say you have an outfit with lots of circular shapes – polka dots, circle lines, etc. Don't go pairing the outfit with a shoe with lots of linear straps. The geometry doesn't match. If you don't have any shoes with a circular accent, then go with the simplest shoe you can find.

If you are wearing something with lines in your outfit, you would want to have something linear in your shoe, as well. Don't go pretty with ribbons and bows.

Look at the heels. Check out the height. If the overall shape of your shoe seems to form a triangle or square appearance from the profile view, it won't blend in with circles.

Rule of thumb? Always match the geometry of your clothing to the geometry of your shoes.



Any quick tips to remember when it comes to balancing my outfit with my shoes

Remember that shoes are an accessory. They can be your focal point, an accent piece, or in some cases, should make no statement at all based on your other accessories. If you decide to go with a fancy shoe, don't go overboard with your accessories. It is a matter of balance. You could wear a simple black dress with the most elaborate heels. Or, if your outfit is really busy, then select a pair of simple shoes - meaning no wild straps, funky buckles, busy designs, etc. How you dress from the earrings down is as important as dressing from the feet up.


Do the types of accessories or the colours on my outfit matter when it comes to choosing shoes

If you have gold earrings, a gold necklace or a gold bracelet on you, it would be better not to have silver accents on your shoes, and vice versa. Your cool-toned clothing should go with black shoes, or anything that is grey, silver, white, etc. Your warm and earth-tone outfits could go toward the browns, tan, beige, ivory, etc. Try not to pair brown shoes with a black outfit, or black shoes with a brown outfit, unless your outfit has a pattern of black or brown.

How to Create Collage?

Most of the time, I use Picasa 3. Some of my friends like Ila, use Photoscape or some may use Photomix. Some of you may ask, what about Adobe Photoshop? Er.. I'm not so good at it. I just know basic things about Adobe Photoshop. So, since I'm a beginner in editing pics, I prefer Picasa 3. Some of my friends have been asking me, how to use Picasa. So I gez it's better for me to explain a little about this.

So, first thing first, you have to have a Picasa dulu la kan.. Which you can download it from here. And it's free. No worries! Once you've complete downloading it, it will automatically scan your computer for all your pics. It will add it in there.




: A is your album list, B - your previous collage and C is where your album start :


Basically, that is how it looks like. Guys, sila abaikan kecacatan bulatan merah tu eh.. =p.

Then, you can simple choose your pics and click "Collage"


: A will show the pics you choose, and B is the button you should click :




:Another A, B and C :


A is the Setting where you can choose whether you want your collage to be in a Picture Pile style, Grid, Mosaic, Frame Mosaic, Contact Sheet or even Multiple Exposure (which look like a super impose je..). In my collage, I usually use Picture Pile. B is the frame that you want for each photo (I choose instant camera) and please notice C where you can resize and reangel your picture. Boleh senget-sengetkan, besarkan or kecikkan. Bear in mind that B and C is only applied ONLY when you choose picture pile. For other style there's only "Grid" which you can adjust to put a gap between pictures.



: The background option :


For the background, you can choose whether you want it to be a solid color (just like the previous picture that show you black as the background) or any picture as the background. So again, it's your choice. After I choose one picture to be the background, I usually delete it from the collage, will left three picture then. If you are not satisfied with the picture arrangement or with the picture itself, you can click the button below the collage - where you can scramble collage, shuffle picture and you can view and edit every single picture you have. When you're done, click "Create Collage" button (it's under the big red circle on the left hand side).



: Basic Fixes, Tuning And Effects :

You can click those three tools and apply it to your collage and see how it works. Cut it short, I like to apply some effects on my collage.



: Example - I apply some "Focal B&W" :


A - You can adjust the size of the focal point and how sharp you want the circle to be. B - You can also adjust where you want your focal point to be. When you're done, click Apply (circle C).



: Saturation :


Then I choose saturation to make the object in my focal point looks lighter. You can adjust how light or clear you want it to be.

The final result? Ta-ta-daaa...




: The Final Outcome :


That's how I make my own collage. I hope I'd helped you to make your own. For a beginner like me, this is a lil' something. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3. Till then, happy making collage and enjoy blogging with some cool piccas!!



What Do I Like M.O.S.T About J.B?

It's actually the FOOD! Good thing about me is, no matter how much I eat, Alhamdulillah, I can't hardly gain my weight. So, every time we (me n dear, ofkos) go back to my in law's place in Johor Bahru, I tend to eat A LOT. That's what I do most, apart shopping. (J.B has a lot of shopping places too).

Well, there are various kinda food in Johor as a whole. From Kluang, which is well known of the toasted bread and coffee at Kluang Station, to Johor Bharu yang sangat terkenal dengan Otak-otak Kempas (J.B).

Taking the oppurtunity of celebrating Raya Aidiladha there, we, I mean 'I' went for food hunting. Sounds interesting huh. And this were what we managed to eat, in 2 days of hunting.

From Larkin Central -



: A.B.C. Special - RM 3.50 :





: Check that Roti 'Pool' - Roti Bakar served with Special Meat Gravy - RM4.00 :


We can get this special Roti 'Pool' from "Kacang Pool Haji" stall. There are Special Meat gravy, as well as chicken and tuna. They also have kacang 'pool'. Believe me, the taste is sooo magnificent!!!

After had some meal at Larkin Central, we went to 'hunt' Mee Rebus Haji Wahid. Aha! This one, you can't miss! Ranging from the price of RM 3.00 to RM 4.00 (depends on what 'size' do you prefer - small, medium or large), it's affordable and worth to eat. I didn't have a chance to snap a picture of Mee Rebus Haji Wahid, but I have one of Mee Rebus Stulang. Both are ok, but, I'd prefer Haji Wahid's ofkos. The gravy is thicker and lighter in color, and they put one whole of boiled egg, and more delicious sebenarnye.. =p



: Mee Rebus Stulang Special - served with prawns and fried mushrooms :


At night, I had some Soto, Tauhu Goreng, Tauhu Bakar and of course, Otak-Otak Kempas (J.B). The next day, our 'hunting' continued for Lontong (as my breakfast) and last but not least, the Super Yummy-Luscious Cendol which I had 2 bowls in a row! It's called Zain Cendol, a motorsikal roda 3 yang menjual cendol di depan Maybank Tebrau. How fascinating living in a world full of great food.. Alhamdulillah~ On the second day, I don't really have any picture of the food. Left the camera at home by accident and my hp battery is flat. (T,T)

After all, wish I could stay for few days more since there are still lot more food yet to discover. Ouh, and I can't wait to ride a train on our journey back to K.L. Wait for the next post about our train ride yeh!



psst...teringat today's episode of Destinasi Bajet..Mamat nih melawat J.B with only RM300 cash.

Wikenku Yang Menarek *Shot 2*

Er..Ini adalah rentetan kepada post Favourite Weekend *Shot 1*. =D Saje je ai nak tulis dalam Bahasa..Usaha memantapkan Bahasa Malaysia tidak akan dilupakan.. Eheh.

Hari terakhir di Kuantan dan Kemaman, kitorang diberi peluang untuk melawat dua tempat (yang ai rasa macam er..erm..ok laa..ikut aje~) yakni (titik bertindih, sempang) Muzium Sungai Lembing dan Bengkel Sampul Surat Sungai Lembing yang terletak lebih kurang 20 meter je dari muzium tu.

Muzium ni sebenarnya menyimpan maklumat dan sejarah yang terdapat di Sungai Lembing, khususnya. Kalau kita boleh ingat, dalam buku Sejarah Tingakatan 1 ke 2 (yo ooo je eh..) ada menceritakan Sungai Lembing ni merupakan sebuah bandar yang paling kaya dan pengeluar utama bijih timah di Pahang. Ini cerita dulu-dulu laa masa tahun 1906..zaman-zaman Inggeris dolu-dolu..sekarang tidak lagi.. Jadi, di Muzium ni banyak menceritakan peralatan-peralatan yang digunakan untuk melombong bijih, terowong, kaedah-kaedah melombong dan banyak lagi.. Oleh sebab ai "terlalu memberi perhatian" masa Pegawai Pengiring bagi taklimat, itu aje la yang ai dapat, selain dok sibuk ambik gambar.. =D. Jadi, apa kata biar gambar yang menceritakan segalanya..




: Adeih haihh..penat mendaki! :





: Sebahagian daripada barangan antik. Chantek! :





: Macam-macam ada~ :



Huh. Baru ai perasan, rupanya gambar kat muzium tu tak la banyak sangat.. =p. Asik berjalan-jalan tengok pemandangan kat luar je. Sebab kawasan muzium tu adalah kawasan berbukit-bukit. Memang hijau kawasan dia. Selain banyak pokok-pokok dan bukit-bukit, angin dan udara dia pun sejuk je. Tapi tak la sampai suhu -3 kan.. Walaupun cuaca panas, tapi kita boleh rasa sejuk..




:Looking from one of the windows, and I see this! :





: Er..sila lihat pada pemandangan saje yeh~ :



Lepas jalan-jalan kat muzium tu, kitorang terus ke Bengkel Sampul Surat Sungai Lembing. Bengkel ni dikendalikan 100% oleh orang-orang kurang upaya. Kerajaan ada kontrak dengan dorang ni. Jadi tak heranlah kalau semua sampul surat di sini ada cop "URUSAN SERI PADUKA BAGINDA" dan semuanya warna putih, pelbagai saiz ofkos. DAN percaya atau tidak, semua sampul surat ni dibuat SECARA MANUAL. Betul! tak tipu.. Semua manual. Memang ada mesin, tapi still..manual.. tak percaya?





: Proses potong kertas pun manual~ :





: Proses nak lipat kertas tu jadik sampul surat. Kertas tu tinggi kan~ :



Selepas lawatan ni, kitorang dijamu dengan Mee Jawa. I actually found out that mee was called Mee jawa only when we got back here. Yess~ I was starving and just eat wutever they served. Gelojoh! =D




: Before.. and After.. :



Selesai makan, kitorang pun meneruskan perjalanan.. Rindunyah nak balek rumah~




: Dari jauh ku memandang.. Bila mau sampai aa.. :



Hilangkan Jerawat?



Huh! Sejak-sejak Raya Korban ni, segala mende pon kita makan. Semua pon nak belasah sampai dah naik jerawat. Daging.. ketupat.. lemang.. daging.. ketupat.. lemang.. Jalan sana sini, ziarah family, dari pagi sampai malam. Sampai muka dah naik berminyak. Dah penat berjalan, tak sempat cuci muka terus terbongkang tidur.. Bangun the next morning, muka dah ada tanda-tanda jerawat.. Biji-biji putih yang halus mula laa nak tumbuh.. Baru la mula nak cuci muka setiap jam, nak jaga makan laa, this and that.. Tapi sume tuh dah terlambat.. Jerawat yang dah tumbuh, cuci muka sehari sepuluh kali pon susah nak hilang..

Tapi jangan risau, I have few tips.. Er..maybe these tips would help, but depends on how you do it.. Er.. nak cantik pon kene ada disiplin.. kalau hari ni semangat buat, the next day dah malas nak buat, baek tak payah..



TIPS NYA??


1. Ambik pisang yang dah masak, lenyek-lenyek kan, dan dijadikan 'fask mask'. Biar semalaman, then the next morning cuci dengan air suam.. Amalkan setiap hari, InsyaAllah, selain muka tidak berjerawat, muka kita akan jadi lebih segar, berseri dan kedut di bawah mata pon kurang..

2. Bagi yang mengalami jerawat tahap jerawat besar-besar tu, boleh guna kaedah kedua ni. Ambil sebatang kulit kayu manis, basahkan pada satu hujung dan gosokkan pada lesung batu. Kaedah menggosok ni tujuannya untuk keluarkan lendir kulit kayu manis tu. Kita gunakan lendir tu, sapu pada jerawat kita. Agak pedih, tapi kene tahan la ye.. Biar sampai kering, then basuh guna air suam.. 'Panas' dari kulit kayu manis tu boleh mengecutkan jerawat tu. InsyaAllah..

3. Kalau tak tahan dengan pedih kulit kayu manis, boleh ambil bawang putih, belah dua dan sapukan bahagian dalam bawang putih tu kat kawasan yang berjerawat. Biarkan seketika dan kemudian bilas dengan air suam.

3. Bagi yang baru nak naik jerawat, atau jerawat 'manja-manja' nak naik, selalu la cuci muka dengan air hirisan limau.. Lagi suam lagi bagus.. Cuci dan biar seketika, then bilas dengan air suam.. InsyaAllah.. Ini kene amalkan setiap hari..


Perasan tak, semua tips ni pun kene gunakan air suam kan..Sebab air suam ni bagus. Selain boleh menyegarkan muka, ia membantu membuka liang-liang roma, which is good in curing the pimples.. This is wut my grandma told la.

Ada satu masa tu, I watched Martha Stewart show. Dia cakap untuk memastikan muka kita tidak berjerawat dan sentiasa segar, every night before we go to bed, ambil kapas muka, dan cuci mekap muka dulu terutamanya di kawasan mata. Martha guna baby oil je untuk cuci mekap. Cuci sehingga bersih. Kemudian ambil tuala panas dan stim muka. Secara perlahan lapkan muka kita dengan towel tu for few times. Kita boleh lihat, walaupun muka dah dibersihkan dari kesan mekap, tetapi sebenarnya ada lagi kesan yang kita tak nampak.. Dengan mencuci muka using hot towel ni, baru la muka kita bersih dari mekap sepenuhnya.

Selepas beberapa kali kesat muka dengan hot towel ni, basahkan towel dengan air sejuk pula. Selepas liang-liang roma terbuka (dah guna air suam kan, haruslah liang tu terbuka), liang-liang tu perlu distabilkan dan ditutup balik. Itu pasal kita guna air sejuk pulak.. Lapkan muka dengan towel yang dah dibasahkan dengan air sejuk ni, sehingga takde kesan mekap lagi. Kemudian baru cuci muka dengan facial cleanser kita..

Amalkan ini setiap malam, InsyaAllah, muka kita akan sentiasa segar, tidak berjerawat, kedut pun kurang dan yang pentingnya, kita akan nampak cantik..Amalkan ye..Sapa takmau cantek kan..

Daging Korban..Daging Korban..


Salam EidulAdha..Sempena Hari Raya Korban, sudah pasti ramai di antara kita yang menerima banyak pemberian daging, daging lembu, kambing, malah for certain place, ada yang menumbangkan atau mengorbankan unta. Kalau di rumah ai, er..I mean di rumah mertua ni ada lembu dan kambing je..

Memang! Banyak sangat daging yang kita terima sampai kekadang tu taktau nak buat apa dengan daging tu, kan.. Yes, memang boleh kita jadikan makanan utama untuk hidangan tengahari atau makan malam, tapi takkan nak hidangkan daging je kan tetiap hari, sampai orang kat rumah kita tu boleh cakap " Ala..daging lagi??" Saya tidak menolak keberkatan kita makan daging yang dijadikan korban sempena Eidul Adha ni, cumakekadang tu kita kene be creative to prepare meal kat rumah.. Nak-nak kalau hubby dan anak-anak yang jenis cepat bosan dengan makanan yang sama. =p Sekadar memberi cadangan.

Makan daging setiap hari boleh mendatangkan pelbagai penyakit, jika pemakanan kita tidak dijaga dengan baik. Darah tinggi, sakit jantung dan banyak lagi risiko. Jadi, kurangkanlah makan makanan berunsurkan daging dalam masa yang terdekat..

Jadi, I have a few suggestions. Selain dijadikan hidangan utama, kita boleh membuat pelbagai jenis makanan sampingan lain seperti meatball, patties (or some may call daging burger), dan lain-lain lagi. Kadang-kadang kita lebih suka membeli daripada membuat sendiri meatball dan patties ni. So, I've been thinking of showing you how exactly we can prepare those food from our own kitchen!

Well, basically the ingredients and method to prepare them are the same. Here it goes.


MEATBALL & AND HIS BESTFRIEND, PATTIES

Bahan-Bahan:


Daging (yang telah dicincang halus)
Tepung gandum
Bawang goreng
Sos tomato
Sebiji telur
Serbuk lada
Garam


Cara-Cara:

Ambil sebiji mangkuk dan masukkan daging cincang. Gaulkan dengan telur, bawang goreng, sos tomato, garam dan serbuk lada mengikut citarasa. Kemudian masukkan sedikit tepung gandum.

Dalam preparation ni, saya tidak meletakkan sukatan yang tetap kerana ini mengikut citarasa masing-masing. Lagi banyak bawang goreng, lagi sedap.. Lagi banyak serbuk lada, lagi 'hot', sos tomato bertujuan untuk memberi sedikit rasa. Biasanya saya gunakan sebiji telur sahaja. Tepung gandum pulak bertujuan untuk memudahkan kita membentuk patties dan meatball nanti. So, takde la lembik sangat. Kalau campuran terlalu lembik, masukkan lebih tepung.

Selepas semua telah digaulkan, bolehlah kita mula membentuk.

Bagi meatball, kita hanya boleh membentuk bulat-bulat seperti bola (mengikut saiz yang kita hendak). Bagi patty pula, bentuk campuran tadi bulat-bulat dan dileper-leperkan, mengikut saiz yang kita inginkan. Kemudian kita simpan bekukan dalam peti sejuk ntuk lebih kurang semalaman. Then they are ready to be cooked..

Sesuai dijadikan breakfast, dinner, minum petang dan juga supper. The kids would luvvit!! So, to those working mom, tak payah nak risau dah, nak prepare apa untuk breakfast anak-anak, since now is the school holidays kan.




: After being fried :





: Boleh dihidangkan dengan mashed potato, potato salad or fresh veggie salad. YUMMY! :



Next time I'll show you how to prepare mashed potato, potato salad and some other salads. So ladies! Happy trying~

Yeay!! Cuti Lagik~

Adeih..penat! Perjalanan hampir 5 jam dari KL ke JB, agak memenatkan. Sebaik tak drive..

Anyway, I just wanna wish :-

1. Selamat Bertunang Kak Zeni.. Dihar, tak sabar tunggu turn ko pulak~ =D

2. To those who will be driving back to your hometown, drive safely. Jangan jadi antara yang terkorban semasa Hari Raya Korban dah.. Sesungguhnya banyak lagi lembu, kambing dan lain-lain yang sedia menanti untuk dikorbankan.

3. Selamat Menyambut Hari Raya AidilAdha to all muslimin muslimat.

Izzit a Happy Friday? I Don't Think So~



I'm suppose to have a great feeling since today is the last day of work of the week and tomorrow is Saturday. Plus me and my team had succesfully managed to handle two big functions which yesterday was the last one. Alhamdulillah.. I'm taking a 2-day leave starting on Tuesday. Which means, I'll be on leave for FIVE days (which seldom happen oukay. Bak kata P.Ramlee "Kaddang.. kaddang.. Jarang.. jarang..). So, can you see what I mean? There's no reason why I should not be happy today. BUT (a BIG but tho), I'm not happy today.. Adeih haih..

To start the day with, I was late today. I punched at 8.27am (which is ssoooooo closed to 8.30am). Well at least I'm lucky that the morning prayer hasn't started yet. But still, I was late. Ouh, before that, at the parking lot, I was at "this close" (sila tengok jarak di antara ibu jari dan jari telunjuk sebelah kanan anda apabila jari itu bersentuhan =p) to loose my parking space to my friend, who thought I was on leave, so he's planning to take my space. (We currently have a parking problem, and everyone seems to berebut parking, and yess! including the officers). As soon as I saw him, I was like..

"WTF, Sengal punya mamat! "

And seperti mendengar suara kecilku di dalam hati, suddenly the car moved. I mean, he moved his car. Fortunately he was still in the car. And I took back my parking space. And parked my car. Safely. *sigh*. Feeling relieved.

Secondly, after the morning prayer, I had this plan in my mind - get some hot milo and eat my toasted bread (which has been prepared by dear), cool myself down. UNFORTUNATELY, my boss called for an urgent meeting, to do an important task (which must be completed within two hours). My jaw dropped. I looked at my fren. Luckily (ai memang bertuah harini), I hafta submit my task on Tuesday. My friend will be doing the 2-hour-task. And ofkos, I'm coming to the rescue..

Finally, when I was suppose to have sushi lunch with Ika, I'm stuck here in the office, still completing my "urgent task" and one of it is updating my blog. \o/. Hamek ko~

Haih..can't wait for tommorrow..counting minutes.. Aiseh..why aaa the clock's ticking ssoooo slowwwww~

Women and The "Killing" Words


Who says women don't have the "killing" words? =D. I got this e-mail from my friend. And I don't really know where he got this..

Well, it stated there that there are 9 words women frequently used especially towards Men. So I gez mebi men should pay more attention on this matter~


[1] Fine :
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

[2] Five Minutes :
If she is getting dressed, this means a half and hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

[3] Nothing :
This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with "Nothing" will usually end in "Fine".

[4] Go Ahead :
This is a dare, not a permission. DON'T DO IT!

[5] Loud Sigh :
This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here an arguing with you about nothing (Refer back to #3 for the clear meaning of "Nothing").

[6] That's Oukay :
This is one of the MOST DANGEROUS statements a women can make to a man. That's Oukay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

[7] Thanks :
A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' ... that will bring on a 'whatever').

[8] Whatever :
Is a women's way of saying "Daymn you" or "Kuang aja kao" or "Sengal la kao neyh" or even worst "F u!"

[9] Don't worry about it, I got it :
Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?" For the woman's response please refer to #3.


Ah, well.. That's what it says there. Basically, there are rights and wrongs too. I hafta admit about #1, 2 and 3. And #4, 6, 8 and also #9. That's not all right? Women are complicated, but deep in our heart, we're the simplest creature on earth. We just don't really care about what people say (but sometimes we do, especially things involving our appearance, beauty, whether we're fatter or thinner and stuff), but we WOULD BE REALLY APPRECIATE if MEN COULD UNDERSTAND US better, without we even tell them at all the time. Yeah, I think that's what we want, what I want.

All we need is just a little hug and kisses when we're loosing mind, just a pat on the back when we're down, a smile on the face when we're in need and telling

"That's okay, you can do better" (with a huge hug would be nice.. \o/)

rather than

"What's wrong with you..If you don't like it that much, just don't do it".

Izzit really hard just to give us a HUG, KISSES, and A HAND TO HOLD??

Favourite Weekend!!! *Shot 1*

I just got back from the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Though it was just a 3-day trip full of activities till I can't really catch my breath, but it was one of the bestest weekend ever!!

On friday, before we leave for Kuantan, I got this!!!!! From Dihar.



: Benefit Silky Finish Lipstick (Satin Snap and Breathless) for only RM26 each!!!! :


Obviously it's a good start for a weekend kan.. FYI, benefit was having a sale last week and I could only manage to grab lipsticks (err...wasn't really me who grabs the lippy) . Luvvit! Luvvit! Luvvit!! Thanks soooooo much Kak Zeni n Dihar. *wink*wink*. The colours match me WELL~

After the "jumping and screaming happily" moment, we had our breakfast and start to make our move to Kuantan. It was a tiring journey, but to our surprise, there were few riders been excorting us from the last tol exit till we reach Stadium Darul Makmur. Rasa macam VVVIP pulak bila diexcort ni.. Ahaks! Plus, listening to their siren, and when they said "Beri laluan, beri laluan, ke tepi..ke tepi.." That was way cool~

Anyway, the next morning, we got a chance to walk by the BEACH!! Place tha t I wanna visit MOST!! It was breezy, windy day. Mendung je.. We took the opportunity to snap few pictures.



: Me, blow by the wind? :





: And Dihar too?? :




: I don't like it, but I LOVE it!!! :




: They're beautiful aren't they.. Perfect time! :




: The journey begin~ :


Er..I gez that's all for now.. I got more to tell, but I'd probably do it in the next post. Don't forget to come back for more adventure, eh, stories and piccas~ =D
