..memakai tudung..

been facing these few and various about wearing scarf from our curious collegue :

“why do you wear scarves?”

“do you have to wear it?”

“what’s with the colour?”

“u can wear any colour u want?”

“is there any differences between married or umarried women?”

“is it comfortable? it’s not hot to wear that?”

“don’t you feel discrimanated?”

“etc .. etc.. etc..”

i feel like asking them to gather after maghrib prayer so that i can tell them once and for all about wearing scarves, macam kuliah maghrib… hohoho ..

29 july 2008

today, the sun is shining brightly. the wind is blowing steadily. unlike yesterday, when the rain was pouring like cats and dogs, and the wind was blowing so strong like it were uprooting some trees. it is a good day to live.

today, my backache is back. i can feel the pain that is about to come. ouch … it hurts ..

..keputeraan kekopian..

sejak 2 menjak di negeri orang nie, saya menjadi peminat coffee prince. why? because, this is the only tv programme which makes sense to me here. i mean they do have HBO, Star Movies channels here but that doesn’t count. of all the local channels here, i can only watch coffee prince. the reasons are :

1. i’ve watched it before, so even if i don’t understand a single word they say (language korean, subtitle mandarin) at least i know what it’s all about

2. it is so cute!!!!

kesemua mereka sangat comey ... terutamanya Gong Yoo la (first from left) .. yummy ..

 

saya nak amik gambar cenggini juge ... hehe .. romantik kan?

i look forward to the drama which run at 11pm every weeknights. it makes me feel less lonely. i cant watch AXN here, they run it like 4 weeks latter than Malaysia. They’re still running the latest season of CSI, while Malaysia has finished that one and has been running CSI Miami since the last one month (now i miss horatio ..)

anyway people, 6 more days to go, less money in the purse (almost gone totally broke ..), become a seafood junkie oredi, miss salty, sweet, spicy food a lot, and most of all, miss home. i want to go home .. i’ll wait 6 more days….

What do you think?

Bagi saya, seorang duta perlu berpengetahuan luas dan bijak mengutarakan komen-komennya terutama berkenaan perkara-perkara sensitif berkenaan negaranya, kerajaannya, dasar kerajaannya dan lain-lain.

Tetapi, jika dia tidak berpengetahuan luas, beliau perlu mempunyai this particular kemahiran dan seterusnya mempertajamkan kemahiran itu. kemahiran itu dinamakan : kelentong.

Bagaimana kalau dia tidak berpengetahuan luas dan tidak juga pandai kelentong?

not yet 26 but ..

i am not officially 26, but the friends here are so nice, they have thrown me a birthday party! it was for me and another classmate who celebrated her birthday last saturday. it should have been a suprise, except that, one of the organizer forgot about it yesterday and told me :

“tomorrow we are not going out, we are staying at the hostel, and celebrate somebody’s birthday”

dang, kind of ruin the suprise, don’t you think? i kept on thinking, maybe it is not my birthday they’re celebrating, maybe it is someone else’s, but nevertheless the thought that they are throwing me a party cant seem to go away. so, i was not really suprised when they announce it today, but i was still very much pleased! got to cut the cake (using sword wow hahahahahaha!!!!!) and also got a gift.

taraaaa ... siap balut dengan wrapper "National Palace Museum" lagi ..

 

jeng jeng jeng .. kat atas box tu ada lambang NPM tu .. sila teka apa isi di dalam..

 

sudah dapat teka? saya sangat gembira!!!

 

yay .. it's a folding fan! saya memang nak beli satu tapi harganye dalam rm20 gitu ... tak kuasa .. maner tau orang nak bagi ..

 

nice not??? xiexie ni!!!!

p.s : before we cut the cake, they asked us to make a wish and say it out loud. did u know what i said? “i want to stay young forever…” hoho … actually what i wanted to say was : “i want to marry a handsome, rich, single, mature, caring, loving, romantic, strong, sensitive, bla, bla, bla, guy” but i think it was too much huhu….

mau tengok wayang ..

minggu ini the dark knight make its entrance into the cinema .. unfortunately, i wont be able to watch.. do you know how much is the movie ticket here? NTD 280!!!! that is about RM28 … crazy!!!! i really want to watch the dark knight .. kerana christian bale sangat, sangat, sangat hensem .. huhu .. nak juge tengok the late heath ledger tu sebagai joker .. hebat sangat kah?

munajat cinta

Malam ini, ku sendiri,
Tak ada yang, menemani,
Seperti malam-malam,
Yang sudah, sudah

Hati ini, selalu sepi,
Tak ada yang, menghiasi,
Seperti cinta ini,
Yang s’lalu, pupus

[Chorus:]
Tuhan kirimkanlah aku,
Kekasih yang, baik hati,
Yang mencintai aku,
Apa adanya

Mawar ini, semakin layu,
Tak ada yang, memiliki,
Seperti, aku ini,
Semakin, pupus

i went crazy!!!

it has been 3 days, but i havent gotten used to taiwan yet. u see, the sunrise is early, the subuh is around 4.30 in the morning, and by 5.30 it’s already very bright. for two days in a row, i woke up at 6 to find the world shining brightly, and then i couldn’t sleep anymore. it’s only 6 for God’s sake!!!!! why should i get up at 6 when breakfast is served at 7.30 and classes start at 9.00??? oh, wait, maybe i should go jogging, they have great facilities here. but if i jog in the morning, i’ll be sleepy in the class. it will be a waste.

anyway, i’m enjoying myself here. my english still sucks (but not big time, the Thais are even worse), but i can still communicate. and last night they took us shopping at the night market, and, yeah, it is rather difficult to shop when u don’t know mandarin. i can count from 1 to 10, but since the prices usually start from 100, i don’t know how to say it. i just find out this morning, that 100 is ‘yi pai’, 200 is ‘er pai’, 300 is ’san pai’ and the rest. and you can ask ” can i?” as “ke yi ma?” or “ke yi?”, and “no, you can’t” as “pu ke yi”.. haha, we heard this phrases all the time in the drama, but now it’s time for action and put it into practice, i was totally lost!!!! luckily our friend was there to help us shop. at least she can di the bargaining. now i need to learn phrases like “please, i buy a lot, can i get a lower price, or free gifts?” ohohoho ..

just to tell you people, last night, i found a stall that sells brooches, which has the design of butterflies!!!! a lot of them, and none of the design you can find in malaysia. i was so happy. it was sold at 100NTD each, that is around RM11. i bought 7 of them. our friend said that it is much cheaper if we go to taipei main station, but since we are sure if we are going there, i just bought those. if i find some more, i’ll just buy them. hoho .. i love butterfly brooches!!! and i also got myself 2 handbag, 399NTD each, around rm45. crazy!!!!! last night, i spend around 4000NTD.  that is about, rm400. wow ..

sorry i couldn’t attach any photos yet, we havent been to a lot of places yet, and i don’t have the card reader yet. will update later!!! yeeehaaaa!

saya rindu ma!!!!

by the way people, i will be away for 3 weeks. kursus di negara orang lain. (lame kan?) saya juga akan menyambut harijadi di sana (my birthday 25 JULAI so people, do remember!!!) saya juga akan miss pertunangan adik saya (yang jatuh sehari selepas birthday saya macam haram!!!!!) – saya rasa legal dan gembira sangat that i don’t have to be there. saya msg mak saya untuk maklumkan berita tersebut kepada beliau, dan mak saya telah panik. dier takut saya tak cukup makan agaknye.

ma : bila nak pegi? berapa lama? berapa orang?

saya : ahad nie pegi, 3 minggu, 3 orang.

ma : lamenye. makan sumer macam mana?

saya : makan sumer depa tanggung.

ma : baik-baiklah, kat sana susah nak dapat makan menda halal.

saya : takpe, kaklong bawak bekal. maggi, biskut, sambal daging.

ma : tak sempat ke nak balik sebelum pegi nie? nak bawak sambal ikan bilis ke, ape ke ..

saya : tak sempat la nak balik. tinggal seminggu je. nak kena buat paper, packing blablabla ..

ma : ok la, jaga diri la.

hari ini (sabtu sebelum bertolak), saya diarahkan untuk menghairi satu majlis makan tengahari. saya pun ok je la. pagi tadi, mak saya pulak call, kata mereka ada di kl, pegi hospital follow up tangan ayah saya. nak singgah di rumah saya tengahari. saya kata saya ada lunch, jadi lewat sikit boleh la. tapi lunch saya abes lambat, jadi mak ayah saya kena balik sebab petang ayah saya ada kerja.  jadi tak sempat jumpa, tapi mak saya tinggalkan makanan sikit di pintu rumah saya. mula-mula saya lega jugak tak jumpa mereka (sebab adik saya ada sekali), tapi lepas tu tiba-tiba saya jadi emo. saya nak sangat jumpa mak saya.

saya bukan la anak kesayangan, atau anak manja. tapi saya sangat bergantung dengan mak saya. kalau saya rasa sedih ke, sakit hati ke, saya mesti akan telefon mak saya. saya takde la cerita masalah saya pada dia, but listening to her voice calm the turbulence in my heart.

entah kenapa saya rasa ralat sangat tak dapat jumpa mak saya tadi. bila saya balik rumah, saya ambik bekalan yang mak saya tinggalkan. dier dah siap-siap belikan dan bungkuskan untuk saya sambal ikan 2 bungkus, sambal ikan bilis 3 bungkus dan ikan bilis goreng 3 bungkus. dier tau saya nie susah sikit kalau bab makan, jadi dier bungkus makanan yang tentu-tentu saya boleh dan akan makan, which are, precisely, the above mentioned.

saya menangis.

saya ralat sangat tak jumpa dier tadi.

sekarang tulis blog nie pun saya menangis lagi.

saya rindu mak saya.

what i read in newspaper..

hari tu terbaca dalam newspaper –> komik gay dijual secara berleluasa.

ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ….

mereka baru tahu kah?

sebagai pengunjung setia kinokuniya dan borders, saya ingin memaklumkan, bahawa komik-komik sebegitu telah lama ada di pasaran. masa mula-mula keluar, memang sikit je bilangan nye. kira macam dier intai market la .. cak!! pas tu lepas sebulan, makin banyak, sebulan kemudian, semakin banyak, lama-lama di display new arrival tu, lebih banyak manga gay dari manga  shonen / shoujo nie. masa mula-mula, saya pun terkejut. selamba kodok je mereka jual manga sebegini secara terbuka. lembaga penapisan tak tahan ke? tapi bila dah makin banyak, saya agak manga-manga nie legit la. walaupun ada isi kandungannye yang memang melampau (jangan tanya mana saya tau, internet berlambak), tapi nampaknye lembaga penapisan luluskan (or maybe not.. maybe dier jual secara illegal, tapi sebab takde orang complaint, selamat la mereka). until masuk paper hari tu.

sekarang saya tak tahu la apa perkembangan manga gay ini. adakah masih bertahan or what? saya dengar, salah satu premis yang menjual manga gay ini di damansara telah diserbu (or something like that) ..hmmmm … macam tahu je kat mana.

nak kata manga gay nie melampau sangat, bagi saya biasa je. manga shounen / shoujo biasa pun kadang-kadang ada jugak yang melampau. 18sx, 18sg, entah apa2 classified lagi la. but i guess culture kita tak terima perkara sebegitu, so, be it.

anyway, saya tentu sedih kalau manga yang saya suka ditarik balik dari pasaran. huhuhuhuhu …

oh, saya juga baca tentang kes anwar ibrahim di sotkabar tu. drama swasta betul (mintak maap peminat anwar, saya tidak suka beliau). sampai tak kuasa dah la nak folo. too many details sampai meluat. yang penting, budak saiful tu jambu muahahahaha … pakcik dier lagiiiiiii jambuuuuuuu ..

eh, apakah tema entry saya kali ini adalah gaynisme? tak niat pun, secara tak sengaja ala-ala connected pulak hoho ..
