Entri kali ni tak bertajuk. Malas nak fikir nak letak tajuk ape. Hmmm.

Dear bloggie. Skarang nie fikiranku sedang berkecamuk. Bermacam-macam perasaan sedang bergaul-maul skang nie (ade ke istilah bergaul maul?). Tadi siang aku tak buat apa-apa yang productive langsung, melainkan tidur dan tidur yang disebabkan oleh migrain. Pagi tadi aku asyik duk bersin je lepas Subuh. Maybe sebab makan ikan AYE (bahasa standardnya ikan tongkol). Aku memang pantang ngan ikan ni, memang akan bersin gila-gila punyelah, sampai pening kepala.

Kalau ikutkan Isnin depan da stat intern. Tak jauh pun tempat intern tu. Kerteh nun je pun. But still it takes a 2-hour journey okay? Siyesly, aku rasa tak mungkin aku akan berulang-alik dari Kerteh-Gong Badak every week coz it's gonna be such a pain. Maybe akan spend masa ngan bestie je kot, takpun ma ngan aboh akan datang sekali sekala. Well, I'm no longer a kid so tak perlu hentak kaki tendang dinding nak harapkan mak ayah selalu datang melawat. I'm a BIG girl now for crying out loud! *emo*

Memikirkan internship, I got nervous. Apa jenis kerja lah yang akan aku buat kat sana nanti eh? Harap-harap everything will be sailing smooth. Aku sebenarnya ada masalah keyakinan diri. It takes courage to face people around you. Maybe this is some kind of complex, inferiority complex. I got to improve the confidence in me or else, I won't achieve nothing.

Frankly, I can say that today I feel very lucky to be elected as the director for the first-ever ICHEMTECH seminar last two semester (though it wasn't due to my own free will at that time, rather it was a consensus). All the tasks that were done during the seminar (you may read it here) was somewhat encouraging the confidence in me. I had to deal with people inside and outside the USIM. Though at first being a director seemed and WAS tough, I managed to go through all the hardships and obstacles with the Iznillah and also with the endless helps of my fellow friends. Without them, I'm worthless. That's what we call teamwork and delegation. And thank you Allah, the seminar was a success.

Now, I must work on the confidence and other soft skills in me, in the hope that I'll be ready by 20 Feb 2012 for the internship.

Tetibe rindu kat si Ahoy, satu-satunya sister of mine (lam siblings) yang tetibe kena pegi camp SPM semalaman. Bosan kot sebab takleh bergaloks and bergadus ngan budak nie. Hehehe...

Thanks for reading.

p/s: aku rasa CHAOTIC MIND mungkin seswai dibuat tajuk. Takpun, PMS. Huhu

NERVOUS

2012-02-15T17:45:00.002+08:00

takde kaitan ngan entri

It took hours of blood pumping and nerve-wrecking moments before I finally get to see my result. I was so nervous after my friend text-ed me that the results had come out. Even at FB they're all updating statuses about the results. Some were happy, some aren't. Well, lets face the truth Jannah, whatever the outcome may be, just accept it benevolently. You cannot change it. You can do so months ago if you'd wanted to. Hmm...

I guess, everybody was overwhelmed with excitement and nervousness to check the result and that's why the line got so busy. I was almost giving up to logging in. Naah, let it be laah! But then, I cannot just let it be. The curiosity makes me completely distraught. It lingers around like a foul smell. Being determined, I tried to reboot the laptop. Waiting for the server to come to live, I was imagining things with the subject Oleochemical and Petrochemical Technology. The questions in final exam was quite okay, but the marking that made me shivered. Woooo~

Opening facebook, I was getting much more nervous when someone who took the same paper said that he was quite frustrated. Okay so it added loads to the adrenaline-pumping moments. Well, I used to expect too high for Spectroscopy last time, but the result was way too far from the expectation. So, it is the same with Oleochem, I guess. And guess what, my presumption was correct. I got *! I thought I could get better than that but that's it. Farah told me, when it comes to that paper, we had to write down anything we know about the question and I thought I already did that but it didn't turn out the way I want it to be. I had even stayed 3 hours in the hall and squeezed all the juicy knowledge that I ever come to know. At last, I got that result. Yes, you deserve what you get. Bear in mind.

All in all, I must say that I am grateful. Coz my result is okay though it dropped from last semester. Just try to find the small space in that bountiful heart of yours to accept the naked truth. Why does truth has to always be naked? I don't get that one.

That's all ranting for today.

Hasta la vista babies!

Brownies of Noob Pâtissière

2012-02-13T10:50:00.003+08:00

Hello and assalamualaikum peeps!

Semalam aku bernekad gila nak buat brownies. Hari tu aku terbaca blog wawa. Dia ada buat post pasal brownies. Wow, it was brownilicious! Really mouth-drooling too. So, I went to surf on the recipe and saw this. I gotta try la ini recipe. Nampak sedap and ramai orang yang dah cuba and komen resipi nie. And mostly rambled on how delicious and easy it was. And as for me, I thought I'd try it myself. Alas, looking at the recipe, I was somewhat upset since some of them are not available at the nearest stores. So I thought I was gonna use the ingredients at home je la, lebihkan amount untuk gantikan bahan yang tak ade. Boleh ke camtu? Menjadikah brownies-mu? Ha, kita saksikan.

Brownies idaman. Namun, seperti biasa, yang kau punye memang takkan jadi macam nie. Bhaha!

Nak kata senang, boleh la jugak. Bahan-bahan pun senang je sebenarnya. Cuma aku malas nak pegi kat bandar KT semata-mata nak cari bahan-bahan yang exact macam dalam resipi. Nak buat brownies je pun. Lain lah kalau orang tu memang jenis selalu masak kek atau desserts, memang kena ada bekalan bahan-bahan mentah selama setahun untuk buat cookies, cakes, pudding, bagai-bagai.

For the brownies, I didn't have emulco choc and brown sugar. So, aku cume lebihkan serbuk koko Tudor and gantikan brown sugar dengan gula biasa. Bukan gula aising ye kawan-kawan, tapi gula yang kau guna nak bancuh kopi/teh kat umah. Bhaha. Pun bolehhh......... Dalam myrecipe.com tu, dia cakap coklat emulco tu akan tambahkan perasa coklat dan akan bagi kaler brown dekat brownies-ku. Takpe, jadi je brownies aku tu kaler coklat. No hal. Keke.

Pukul punye pukul, campur tu campur nie, and then bake at 180 degree. Wallah, after 45 minit or so, siap! Ready to garnish. Hmm, I am sooooo poor at garnishing especially when I do chocolate garnishing. Often, the look won't be that tempting (but sure the taste is ohsem). Aku masih mencari resipi macam mana nak hasilkan garnish coklat yang bukan sahaja enak dipandang malah lazat ditelan. Ada sape-sape nak bagi komen?

Wanna know how I did the garnish?

Hiarghhh, hambik kau coklat cair! Gaya ninja meng-decorate cake

Pastu, taburlah butiran badam di atas pusara brownies. Badam tu mesti goreng

tanpa minyak before letak atas coklat cair tu.

Tada, here you go! Brownieszzzzzdhh! *qalqalah*

Ready for bites! Ignore presentation of the brownies by the reckless patissiere. Sure she is a noob patissier. Patissiere? Layak ke digelar patissiere? Pui. Berhabuk kau potong itu brownies. Ngeh.

Aik, dah masuk tupperware dah ke? Er, actually, mende ni manis sangat-sangat coz aku letak 1 cawan gula!! Lalu masuklah ia ke dalam bekas untuk disimpan ke dalam peti untuk santapan hari esok.

And hari nie bila aku makan, okay je rase dia. Takdelah semanis kurma, eh bukan. Semanis semalam. Just nice. Desserts memang mostly manis and pelik la lau dessert tak manis. Nama pun dessert, pemanis mulut gituww.

K bye. Jumpe lagi di masa hadapan, di waktu dan hari yang sama dalam rancangan NOOB PATISSIERE di mana? Mana lagi kalau bukan jannahheaven.blogspot.com!!!

Bhahaha.

Cat's Fear

2012-02-11T00:36:00.002+08:00

If those who are afraid of cats are called ailurophobia, what is the word to best describe the fear of cats to us humans? You may even ask, does it even make sense when cats are afraid of human? I say yes. Living humans are way much scarier than ghosts.

Our cat, Didi is afraid of people, especially outsiders. He even freaked out when he saw us doing any sudden movement. Last day, my sister saw him wandering inside our house. She got excited and rushed towards Didi but unfortunately, she almost tripped and fall! Then, she tried to balance herself by spreading her both hands, and from behind you can see she looked like as if she was trying to attack the innocent little kitty. Pronto, Didi scrammed and hid under the sofa. He was actually cute when he did that. That's why we love him.

Didi just dare to look us from afar (bajet stalker kot Didi nie)

Actually, everything happens for a reason. The reason why Didi got afraid of any sudden movement was when there was a chaos inside of our house months ago. At that time, our cousin's daughter and son had come to our house. Like usual, we let our cats into the house. When the little children saw those cats, they suddenly screamed so loud that me myself was quite shocked. As if they saw a tiger. I know actually they are afraid of cats but I don't think it was necessary to exaggerate that much dude. The house was loud as is was banging with those screeching sound of screaming.

Didi was extremely shocked and disturbed. Panicked and afraid, he then scrammed and even peed himself! We pitied Didi. Poor Didi. Ever since the incident, Didi can hardly enter the house. He'd just wander around at the yard playing with anything he could reach to. It's pathetic when he even played with the small stones at the yard (?). That's how he had to deal with his boredom.

But slowly, Didi gets to overcome the fear by trying to approach us and the house as well. At first, he would run away once my sister or brother took him inside the house. But now, he would himself jump in from the open window and stay inside the house. Still, he would run and hide under the couch or cupboard when he sees any abrupt motion from us.

Didi is actually a pretty tame and good cat. He'll be nice with you if you approach him gently and lovingly (ecewah!!). You got to know the nature of your pet in order to befriend with them without any problemo.

Didi looks cutely grumpy here.

That's all about my cat- our cat to be exact. Pics are credit to ahoyy.

Tamagoyaki

2012-02-09T18:57:00.006+08:00

Hello everybody and assalamualaikum.

Just wanna rant about my boring daily routine at home. Hihi.

Since my daily routine is quite boring, I tried to do something different out of the norms. Today, I tried making TAMAGOYAKI. Do you know what's tamagoyaki? It is a rolled omellete aka telur dadar gulung. Seriously, nampak sedap giler bile tengok Japanese or Koreans eat those cute-looking tamagoyaki. Rolled eggs dalam bahasa Korea aku tak tahu la pulak, tapi kalau nama Jepunnya tamagoyaki. Simply delicious.

Tamagoyaki. Umph, the inside is oozing like wow! *drooling*.
Looks delicious right? Seriously, this is epic!

Sadly this is not mine. Mine is not that tempting duh!

My noob version of tamagoyaki looks like this:

Noob pun noob lah, janji boleh makan. Hahahaha!

Senang je buat mende nie. Tapi kalau nak buat tamagoyaki yang kiut-kiut sampai rasa sayang nak makan tu memang susah lah. Kau mesti ada kepakaran yang tinggi. Kena bersabar untuk bagi telur tu bergulung dengan baik. Lagi satu, isi dalam telur tu tak boleh bagi masak sangat, nanti jadi keras. Tak sedap. Kalau keras, tamagoyaki pun susah nak menjadi (macam aku punyer). Huhu.

That's all my ranting for today. Thanks for reading.

Adios!

Unfortunate Children

2012-02-07T20:17:00.001+08:00

Talking about unfortunate children

Children should be loved and handled with tender care

Unfortunate children. What do you understand about them? I bet most of you will imagine small and skinny kids begging for food along the streets in Africa. Indeed, if you type those words on Google, you will find the same story. It's a cliche.

Yes, famine is one of the predicaments faced by unfortunate children all over the world. But remember, there are so many other adversities as well. Other unfortunate children face a lot of ordeals and pains in life. I would like to talk about children who have to live with divorced parents.

How would they face estrange in the relationship of their beloved ones? Some may rebel, some may not.

Actually, I felt so sorry for those children with divorced parents. Why? Coz I had heard of one story about such unfortunate child. You see, this boy comes from a poor family. It's okay if they are poor, as long as it is a happy family. He is the eldest in his siblings. What makes me feel amazed was the boy is so smart in his study. Although they had to live in uncomfortable house, that boy still managed to keep in track of his school's life. Maybe he's a genius. But even a genius needs to study to get great marks in exam. No pain, no gain. I hold my head high for people capable of accomplishing such achievement.

But things started to be bad when their parents were having conflicts. The parents almost get divorced. Not long after, the boy's performance at school gets dull. Maybe it was due to pressure. How could a child survive and glow is such a depriving condition? It's so unfortunate when such capable child is wasted.

Actually, both parents and teachers play significant roles in the development of children. Parents especially, have major role in moulding their children into the perfect shapes. Sometimes, when these kids become rebellious, teachers seem to blame on their behaviours. Instead of trying to approach them and ask what's wrong and what not, the teachers seem to neglect them. It's not fair and it's not profitable. Children are assets for the country. They are the future leaders hence must be treasured and inculcated with good values of life.

Estrange or divorce have big impact on children's emotions and life. That's all I can say...

Nichkhun is definitely a fortunate child (not a child anymore when he turns 24 this year). He has good family background and he got lots of fans who are crazy about him. He should be thankful of his blessed life.

Babai. See you in another entry.

You can see pain nor touch it, but surely you can feel it. I experienced that pain today. I know, there is no such pain that can be compared to the one experienced by moms during delivery, but still, that kind of pain I was having was so excruciating to me. Indeed it was.

The pain was unbearable that I whined and groaned most of the time. Yes, it was piercing from my feet to the top of my head yo. But no matter how painful it was, I had to put up with it. It was for my own sake. Insya-Allah, all my diseases will be ended soon by doing that. Hopefully.

Yes, that was all I had hoped for when I was walking on the pebbles. You know what's pebble? Pebble is kerikil. Batu-batuan sungai. The ones you see at rivers and sometimes at the beaches. Wow, such a miracle these small cute stones can do to boost your health. They say pebbles can be used to treat lots of diseases. People from the old times had been using pebbles to improve their health and cure many diseases. Ancient people used to walk barefooted on the ground to invigorate their bodies. Yes or no? I'm not sure but that's what they say. Rumours can in fact be true you know. Huhu.

Actually, I don't think it's a baseless rumour. Like, seriously. I had walked on the pebbles this evening and I already feel the difference. Believe it or not, my body seems to be releasing lots of gases! You know what I mean right? They can be released in two routes only, by burping and?? You know what. Flatulence. You science peeps better understand what I'm saying. Grrrr *snickering*

Well, I actually have lots of gases in my tummy and it's not easy to release them. The doctor had once said, "Jannah, awak ni banyak angin la..." Bukan kepala angin kan, doc? Yes, I got lotsa gases. It's undeniable. Coz my stomach is not in good condition. I got poor digestive system. It's nasty to have stagnant gases. Those trapped gases can make you feel uncomfortable. When your body cannot release those gases, they will give you headache and sometimes migraine. I tell you what, these two fellas are very good together. They give you the double-the-fun effect when you are planning to have such a nice day. What a sarcasm. Well, what's life without sarcasm, aight?

I need to continue this pebble therapy once every two days. I read from somewhere that it is not good to do reflexology everyday for it may hurt your nervous systems. So I advice you all who have problems like mine; migraine, to do the same thing. It is an enjoyable activity though you have to bear with the pain. Just like what they say, NO PAIN NO GAIN.

GROSS

2012-02-03T00:42:00.000+08:00

It was gross okay? Having to see your cat vomiting in front of you while you were having a late supper. Eww! Luckily, I was done eating. My sister was still eating though, and I was astonished to see how she could continue eating after witnessing such hideous scene. She didn't stop eating after averting her eyes from the upsetting and unprecedented incident. That little girl continue eating so steadily, as if nothing ever happened LOLz. Memang tabik springgg ah, ahoyy! It's good not to have any squeamishness or queasiness whatsoever. Boleh jadi pakar bedah la adik aku nie bila dah besar nanti. Huhu.

Yeah, it makes me lose me appetitez

something is WRONG...

2012-02-01T13:04:00.003+08:00

Yes....

I do realize something is definitely wrong with me. Lately, I experience vertigo quite often. Do you know what does it mean by vertigo? Vertigo means you feel as if you are doing a somersault turn though you are actually just standing still. It feels like the whole world is spinning round and round even when you did not commit any excessive or abrupt movement. I'm scared for it's not common for anyone to experience this thing too often.

What do I do? Save me!

The worst thing I had with vertigo was 3 years ago, when I was a first year student. That night, I was sleeping so soundly in my bed at my hostel. At around 4 am, I heard a hard knock on the door. Since my room was near to the front door, the sound could be heard very clearly that I woke up in no time. I knew it was my senior who came back late after a study group with her pals. Abruptly, I got up from my pillow in order to drag myself to the door. Suddenly, I felt that the room was spinning! It spun way too fast that I had to lead my way back to the pillow. It was too overwhelming. I guess it was because of the sudden movement I made that moment. At that time, I was quite scared because it was the very first time I experience such thing. I didn't feel any pain nor nauseousness in that. It just felt like having a full spin, as if I was thrown in a whirling washing machine. Me myself don't understand why did I not feel like throwing up. I was baffled, till the very moment I write this sentence. Hmmm... *pensive*

That's it. That's how vertigo took me in. How do I overcome this? I am clueless. I think the vertigo has something to do with my migraine. I have to find remedy soon. There are so many problems arouse once you have migraine. It's not good you know. It's bad if you befriend with a man called MIGRAINE. You feel weak, you have no appetite, your face always turns white and pale. You always feel dizzy and sleepy. Your mind won't be alert enough to your surrounding. All this thing will make you have a bad day. Everything will be not good. Everything. You won't be in good mood to get to work. Even if you force yourself to work in such conditions, the end result won't be good. Its all about bad things when you have him as your friend. So what I am gonna do now is to get rid of this friend of mine. So hear what I'm gonna say to you:

Hey Mr Migraine, stay away from me! Or else, I will get some nice sharp needles tuck on your neck to drive you away. Do you not get me? Do you not? I mean BEKAM la wey... Bekam, bukan BECKHAM! That's the Prophet's habit in ensuring prosperous health. I had one last time and it was EXCRUCIATING!!!!!!! I wonder why??

Woops, I better take some medicine for me headache...

(Naah, medicine do no good for your migraine)

I'm not a bookworm. Not that I hate books. It's just that I find reading boring doww. JSYK, these two books I bought using the voucher. If there's no voucher, maybe I will not buy them coz I'm not a keen reader that I'd spend my own money on books. Bhaha. I actually prefer reading magz or newspaper, maybe because they are for light readings. But books? Naah.... not my favourite.

Nevertheless, I love writing. In order to be a great writer, I have to read a lot of books and other reading articles to improve my writing skills in terms of the usage of new words, new sentences and stuffs. So whether I like it or not, I have to accept the truth that I HAVE to read. HAVE to.

Gonna start some serious reading soon...

p/s: by the way JSYK is just so you know la. Hahaha!

NEVER SAY GOODBYE

2012-01-27T13:51:00.005+08:00

“Jangan diucap selamat tinggal…..”

Seriously, Ihate saying goodbyes. I hate farewell. I tried not to shed my tears thisevening but thinking that we are not gonna be together anymore after this, Igot sad. Sunken in despair and wild emotions, I finally cried. Iwas inconsolable at that moment. I hid in the kitchen, tried acting busy bypacking the remaining sachets of Nescafe into the plastic bag LOLZZZ. The tearsflow so fast that I couldn’t even stop it. It was oozing like ****.

Pagi tadi akudan Dzilal plan nak pegi Kinokuniya sebab nak habiskan voucher 1 Malaysia tu.Before membeli tiket dua hala ke KL Sentral, aku sempat text abang aku, dahbertolak ke dari Terengganu. Pastu abang aku cakap, mungkin petang tu jugak kitorangakan terus balik ke Terengganu. And I was like,

WHAAAAAAAATTT???

Semalam cakapnak stay kat hotel. Aku iya2 je siap tempeh hotel Nilai ngan amoi sireceptionist tempoh hari. Aku tak habis packing lagi dow. Dahlah nak pegijalan-jalan kat KLCC plak time tu. Masa tu pukul 9 lebih kot. Aku pun jadi serbasalah. Dilemma. Nak pegi ke tak Kinokuniya tu? Sempat ke balik umah sewa untukpacking baju yang menggunung tuh? Betul ke pak sdara aku yang ikut skali memangtakkan stay kat hotel? Jadi ke nak balik ganu terus? The avalanche of questionswere shooting me. Namun, disebabkan ketegaran aku untuk membeli buku katKinokuniya, kami tetap meneruskan langkah ke KLCC dengan penuh bersemangat. Coz Ithought lepas ni memang dah susah da nak turun KLCC, melainkan ade urusan rasmi(ecewah urusan rasmi apekebendenye kao ingat ko da keje ke ape?)

Many peoplethronged that place. It was Thurday and I actually hoped that there won’t beso many people there sebab aku ni, kalau nak shopping la kan, aku tak sukaramai2 orang. Sakit kepala (excuse the berlagakkot-ness). Well, sebab tempat tumemang untuk orang ramai la memang ramai la orang (ayat keling). Banyak buku kat situ…. Tapi aku beli 2 bijikje. Pening gak duk lama2 kat kedai buku. Rimas. Rimas sebab tak tau nak pilih mana satu buku nak beli.

Balik je Nilai,aku mula kalut berkemas. Dua tiga kali abang aku texted cakap dorang OTW. Kalike empat (tak silap aku la), abang aku cakap da sampai. I was sooooooooooopanicked sebab banyak lagi tak disumbatkan ke dalam beg. Waaaa~

Sedih bilemelihat diorang berwajah sedih once da tau aku akan balik petang tu jugak.Hancur harapan aku nak join diorang buat farewell party. Athirah siap buatcoklat lagi. Seme plan nak makan pizza malam tu. Gecko pun siap suggest lagiaku balik ngan dia keesokan harinya. Tapi sebab aku pun tak plan dari awal nakbuat cenggitu, aku kena jugak balik on the same day. Ye la, orang dahbersemangat datang ambik takkan tetibe aku cakap tak nak balik pulak. Tak patut.

Aku sedih. Memang sedih. Tak tertahan air mata. Eleh, sebelum ni bukan mainberlagak cakap taknak nangis masa nak berpisah, last-last nangis jugak.Berjurai air mata aku. Malu kot. Jatuh ego aku selama nie. Hahaha. Maybe sebabaku tak prepare untuk balik secara mengejut petang tadi, lalu my tears tanpasegan silu menuruni pipi ku (alasan…). OOoooo~

Masa time nakberpisah, salam-salam peluk cium ucuk-ucuk tu lah aku rase sebak tak terkata.Laju je air mata jatuh. SUmpah sedih gile. Sayu je. Rasa sunyi tibe2. Kalau sbelum nie, seme menda nak kecoh, even halyang kecik2. Skang, masing2 duduk sorang2 je la. Wuwu. Tu la orang cakap,hargai masa yang ade. Don’t take things for granted. Hargai persahabatan kitatu. Pelihara dia. Coz there’s no such thing as ‘bekas kawan’. Once kita daberkawan, that kawan will remain as kawan forever. Bukannya aku nie takappreciate time yg ade slama ni, it’s just that it felt too soon to saygoodbye. Macam terlalu sudden tau mende tu. It felt wrong. ENtah kenapa. Walhal aku tau that moment will arrive, sooneror later, no matter what.

*Sigh*. Timeflies and we have already come to an end. Setiap yang bermula pasti adepengakhiran. Setiap yang bertemu, pasti akan berpisah. Manusia takkan bolehlari dari takdir Allah itu. Setiap kegembiraan, akan ada terselit kesedihanwalau sedikit. Itu lumrah alam.

Nota kaki lenguh:Kepada penghuni rumah PT 5651, I heart you all!!! Moga berjumpa lagi!! Kawennanti jangan lupa post kad jemputan!! Xoxoxo!!

p/s: may thisfriendship last forever. Ya Allah, berkatilah hubungan ini…. Ameen~

p/s/s: don’tworry frens, I’ll be back in 4 months. Don’t say u r tired of waiting, forwithout you I’m nothing. Please, don’t stop we can’t stop this friendship. I’llsay this again and again, that we are FRIENDS FOREVER!!!

Route of Adventure at Bukit Cerakah

2012-01-25T01:00:00.005+08:00

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh...

Beriadah dan berekreasi di Bukit Cerakah buat pertama kalinya memang seronok. Antara yang paling best kat situ ialah rumah empat musim ngan naik basikal ramai-ramai pusing area taman pertanian tu. Letih giler kayuh beskal tu, sampai berpeluh-peluh. Tapi siyes best giler-giler. Siap berlumba lagi. Hahaha! Berlumba pun berlumba gak, tapi kau mesti hati-hati. Kat situ bukan setakat bas je yang lalu atas jalan yang sempit tu, geng monyet-monyet pun laju gak melintas. Silap haribulan bleh terbabas sebab terlanggar monyet. Haa, terpampang muka student USIM accident beskal langgar monyet lam harian METRO. Malu mak bapak.

First time sampai ke tempat sebegini memang seharusnya mengikut tips orang ramai yakni travel pakai bas

Sebelum menjejakkan kaki ke rumah 4 musim yang sangatlah sejuk

Di rumah 4 musim. Kenapakah dinamakan empat? Aku lihat ade winter jer. Hmm

Are we in winter now?

Tengok, siap ngan snowman lagi tue

Pingu, anyone?

Ade feel duduk kat Rusia dop?

Gecko happy bergambar ngan Snowman

Happy mode before dapat basikal

Ha, seronok masing-masing bleh pegang basikal

Kitorang ronda-ronda area taman tu ngan beskal je pas tu. Best giler. Masa nie kitorang berenti tengok landak. Masha-Allah, busuk tak terkata! Memang tak betah duduk lama-lama kat sini. Ewwww *berlagak mak nok*

Nota kaki: Terima kasih kat Ira and family sebab jadi host yang best selama 2 hari. Your hospitality is well appreciated. XOXO

Rahsiakah Resepimu

2012-01-22T21:48:00.004+08:00

Makan untuk hidup.

Itu prinsip orang ramai di luar sana. Tapi prinsip aku terbalik, hidup untuk makan! Wahahaha. So tanpa segan-silu, malam nie aku akan mengepost lagi entri pasal makanan. Makan, makan, makan. Makan je kerjanya. Well, bila lagi nak perabih duit kalau bukan sekarang. Lagipun, ni kiranya dah minggu terakhir kitorang bersama tempuhi segala onak duri ranjau berliku (eceh). So mestilah sama-sama bermurah hati mengosongkan poket sendiri untuk menggembirakan hati masing-masing. Kenyang perut suka hati. Okay, jangan banyak bunyi. Let's roll it!

Ini namanya Thai Seafood Spaghetti. Rege mahal. Rupa cantik. Namun aku hanya mampu mengeluh sebab rasenya tak se-vavavavoom harganya dan rupanya. Macam megi goreng je kot. Huhu. Tapi sebab ade seafood je lah aku order mende nie. Takpelah kan? At least kenyang. AT LEAST.

Ini Lasagna Beef. Sedap. Ade cheese and of course ade daging.

Harga pulak lagi murah daripada aku punyer spaghetti seafood tuh. Beruntung Gecko. Cis.

Beverage ter'hebat' alaf ini. Haha. Sarcastic di situ. Aku punya kopi ialah Espresso with Macchiato. Gecko order Espresso con Panna. Ingatkan rege 5-6 ringgit dapat la cawan besau-besau, last-last dapat cawan kecik tueekkk. Pahit pulak tu. Mesti malam ni tak tido lah aku. Tobat dah lepas ni tak nak order espresso dah. Aku kalau latte atau cappucino okay la kot. Mocha pun boleh gak. Espresso? No more.

Bye bye espresso, bye bye...

Tadi kitorang keluar sebenarnya berhajat nak habiskan voucher buku RM200. Tapi buku-buku kat kedai buku Popular dekat Giant tu macam tak best je. Tak berselera pulak nak membeli buku walhal voucher beratus-ratus masih belum digunakan. Apakan daya kalau memang dah malas membaca buku macam tulah jadinya beribu batu alasan kau beri. Takpelah. Ade masa pegi MPH aku beli la buku.

the GATHERING.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Time flies without we realizing that all our semesters in USIM had already taken its toll. So no more EXAMS!! I like it and I'm pretty sure that all of us loooooooove that bold and blatant fact. Hehe :D. But at the same time, there would be no more precious times to spend with those chaotic and happening peeps. Why peeps? Coz we gotta bid farewell (sob*sob*).

Semalam kami telah berkumpul beramai-ramai sebelum semuanya semi-officially melangkah ke luar daripada USIM. We had a bowling tournament (tournament sounds good what) and a BBQ at Port Dickson. It was freaking awesome! Actually it was Dr Siti's idea for all 26 of us to get together, having fun and stuffs. I must admit that it was like the end of us after being together for about 4 years. Some may have been around together for 5 years at USIM (those from Tamhidi la kan). Yes, I could say that most of us do feel sad and gloomy but that's the truth. Every beginning has an end right? Nevertheless, I didn't cry nor pull my face coz it would ruin the atmosphere. I even reminded my friends not to cry for it would be a mourning event instead of kecoh-kecoh and kepoh kepochi. Well it's not good la kan. I know women are sometimes emo, and it is inevitable for us to cry in a farewell party yawww. So, no remorse la kan kalau ada yang dah menitiskan air mata tu. It's a preordained nature la wey.

Okay. Please be happy to enjoy the scenes of life. Please do not shed your tears bebeyh...

Rooftop parking area at JUSCO Seremban 2. Susah giler nak dapat parking.

Berpeluh pusing-pusing satu area. Memang tabik spring ah kat korang

yang tough dan sabar drive keta.

Lets get bowling!

Aisehmen, santai nampak kaum Adam nie.

Dr Siti, ketua program ICHEMTEch. Suami Dr terer main boling tuuuu....

Hiargh, saksikan perlawanan ulung Izah menentang Ira! Go, go Izah! Go, team GECKO!

Qaiyum, Kumey, Ema dan Ira

Ain!

Lepas berjimba-jimba di JUSCO, kami meneruskan perjalanan ke Port Dickson untuk BBQ. Dr Siti tak ikut. Sayanglah jugak. Tapi takpelah Dr. Kitorang pos laju ayam bakar. Okay, tak kelakar.

Tayar kereta menggelembung masa on the way ke PD. Seme cam "Weyh, ni PBL nie, ni PBL!" Kalau nak tau, PBL tu maksudnya Problem Based Learning yang Dr Che Wan ajar masa Kimia Perindustrian hari tu. Dr mintak kite semua bayangkan macam mana nak solve problems based on real situations in life. Salah satunya, kitorang kena buat simulation macam mana kalau kitorang mengalami kerosakan kereta lalu terkandas di tengah-tengah hutan.

It did happen to us yesterday. Bukan kat hutan la, tapi kat tengah-tengah highway. But at least we got to experience new thing in our life. Memang banyak mende yang kami pelajari time kejadian tu. Kena banyak bersabar, kene bekerjasama, dan kena bertindak pantas untuk menyelamatkan keadaan. Alhamdulillah, semua dah berakhir dengan selamat.

Misi menukarkan tayar spare

Kami para wanita bersemangat sekali mengarah kenderaan agar ke lane kanan

supaya kerja menukar tayar berjalan lancar

Pasukan menyelamat ICHEMTECH

Sane! Sane!

"Sana please...." Spot the serious expression

Everything happens for a reason kan? Takpe lah kawan-kawan, at least kite semua dapat memanjangkan masa bersama buat terakhir kalinya. Ada hikmah atas segala yang dijadikan Allah. Ni pun first time bagi kebanyakan daripada kami untuk berada dalam situasi sedemikian. Pengalaman berharga, orang kata.

Lepas tayar kereta selesai ditukar dan diisi angin, kami solat Maghrib dan Isyak. Then, kami bergerak ke PD untuk BBQ! Woah, awesome!! Ni lah pemandangan malam kami berjimba di PD sambil menikmati BBQ enak. Terima kasih Cik Farah Azmi et. al sebab dah marinate-kan ayam-ayam itu. Memang delicious lah! *sambil jilat jari*

Conversation semasa kejadian membakar ayam

Athirah yang comel

Seronok depa semua bakar ayam. Baju pun dah bau asap dah masing-masing

All in all, it was a beautiful night.

Indeed the farewell party was a bitter end but we must face the truth that setiap pertemuan ade perpisahan. It was a temporary ending, hopefully, coz we are gonna gather again after completing the internship at respective companies. It was such a good and happening good byes, hug and kisses moments, and at the same time, it had marked the beginning of something new. Something to do with our career. Way to go INTERNS! See ya in 4 months!

Alhamdulillah. Dah habis pun final paper Oleochem and Petrochem tadi. Gembira! Gembira sebab lepas nie dah takde exam dah. Gembira sebab lepas ni tak payah stadi bagai nak rak dah sebab nak jawab exam. Gembira sebab dah tak payah masuk stadium jawab exam. Aku kegembiraan!

woaah... heaven rase hati!

Namun...

Berakhirnya peperiksaan itu juga bermakna pengajianku di USIM sudahpun melabuhkan tirainya. Lepas ni takde dah kena masuk kelas. Tak de dah la nak kena mengadap buku rujukan tebal-tebal. Takde dah nak setadi sama-sama ngan kawan-kawan macam dulu. Takde dah hilai tawa masa buat setadi group. Takde dah makan malam pukul 7 sambil tengok drama Melayu. Takde dah late night supper bila tibe-tibe rase lapar time stadi. Takde dah outing ngan kawan-kawan bila bosan hujung minggu. Yes, aku bakal merindui saat-saat itu. Saat-saat berharga bersama kawan-kawan aku. Akan ku kenang kamu dalam doaku. Sob, sob.

Lepas ni seme akan mengharungi dunia baru. Insya-Allah nanti seme akan praktikal kat tempat praktikal masing-masing. Moga segala urusan dipermudahkan Allah. Ameen~

last paper

2012-01-16T22:33:00.002+08:00

Omo omo. Tadi dah selesai menduduki peperiksaan untuk 2 subjek iaitu Kimia Perindustrian II dan Rekabentuk Reaktor. Lega dah selesai dua paper. Fuh. Sekarang ni, tinggal satu je lagi paper untuk final exam final year aku kat USIM ni. Apa lagi kalau bukan paper Teknologi Oleo dan Petrokimia. Ah, serious kebimbangan! Ya Allah, tolong hamba-Mu yang serba lemah ni. Wuhu.

"Nikmatilah saat-saat terakhir di tahun akhir coz lepas ni dah tak jumpa dah kawan-kawan se-havoc vavavoom macam diorang. Sob, sob,"

Pari before dimasak (ehsan Google)

Last day, we had our dinner at Atap-Atap Restaurant. Where? Di Nilai la, apa lagi. Ala, sebelah Giant je kot~~ Restoran ni letaknye bersebelahan ngan Q-Thai yang masak steamboat and BBQ tu. Kat Roof-Roof (atap-atap sudah) kitorang order grill seafood masakan ala-ala Portugis. Sedap. Actually rasa dia sama je ngan teppanyaki yang kitorang makan hari tu kat mid. Sedap. Sedap. Sedap dan sedap. Sila pergi dalam keadaan lapar barulah dapat merasa apa yang dimaksudkan dengan sedap itu.

Though aku tak berapa nak layan sangat ikan pari, tapi dek kerana presentation masakan pari dalam lembaran menu tu sangat menggiurkan, ditambah pula dengan sekeping poster masakan pari yang nampak oomph wallah, maka tanpa segan silu bibir laju melaung "Nak order Set Pari satu!" padahal tak perlu melalak pun sebab si pengambil order tetap tak faham bahasa melayu muahahaa. Hari tu masa aku melantak set teppanyaki pun aku pilih pari sebab orang cakap sedap. Alhamdulillah, benarlah kata orang itu kerana memang sesungguhnya set pari teppanyaki itu sememangnya sedap. I give seven stars!

Sebenarnya perut ngah lapar skang ni bab tu teringatkan lauk grilled ray tu. Huhu, kempunan nak merasa kamu. Tengah save duit untuk hard-bound thesis.

Adios

Western Style Dinner

2012-01-11T00:58:00.013+08:00

Ye ke western style? Kalau tengok tempat ni macam bukan western pun. Ha, ape citer?

Gaya western kah?

Nilah dia Aunty Aini's Cafe Garden, restoran yang menghidangkan western food dan juga masakan ala kampung. That's why la tempat nie nampak village-y sikit, siap dengan pondok kayu and makan bersila bagai. Nama pun Garden Cafe kan, mesti nampak macam garden lah tempat nie. Masuk-masuk pun dah nampak garden, siap ngan kolam ikan lagi. Atmosphere kat sini memang betul-betul homey. Memang boleh buat kau rasa cam duduk kat kampung walhal kedai makan ni kat tengah-tengah bandar metropolitan (Nilai = Metropolitan?) yang sedang pesat membangun. Amacam, ade berani?

And for the rest, layan je lah gambar-gambar nie...

Ahli meja makan:

Ain

Athirah

Farah

Jah

JH and Gecko

Aksi promoter-promoter tak berbayar yang tegar memilih menu western food padahal duduk cantik bersimpuh di meja makan kayu ala kampung. Well tak salah rasenye sekali sekala gabungkan elemen kampung dengan western kan?

Nih aku punyer order, Meatball Spaghetti = RM 15.50. Memang terangkat!

Aunty Aini's Cafe Garden's Beef Lasagna = RM 14.50. Ni GECKO punyer

Izah order Roasted Chicken = RM 15.50. Besar portion ayam dia.

Kuah lada hitam dia memang perghhh, sedap!

Menu lain:

Chicken Bolognaise RM 15.50

Chicken Chop RM 12.50

Spaghetti Marinara RM 18.50

(harga lebih kurang je)

Beverages:

Jus Kiwi RM4

Barli ais RM2

Peach Tea RM2

Green Tea with Honey RM2

Ice Lemon Tea RM2

Air putih

Ini wajah-wajah kekenyangan dan kegembiraan mereka setelah menjamu selera

Spot the kaki kejang

Nota kaki kejang: Harap-harap dapat lah kite buat reunion Ichemtech nanti kat sini. It's a very nice place to have dinner in. Nak lunch pun boleh.

Ada dua jenis masakan plak tuh. Bagi yang suka makanan barat, blehlah order menu seperti spaghetti, pizza, sheperd's pie and lain-lain. Bagi yang suka masakan kampung, blehlah order masakan kampung. So sweet bila bleh makan beramai-ramai kat tempat seindah permai sebegini.

Wong Solo. Apekah itu?

Semalam kami seramai 10 Wong Solo telah menikmati makan malam bermenukan ayam penyet. Serious SEDAP! Memang tak dinafikan kesedapan dan keenakannya. Mantop. Tempat ni namanya Wong Solo. Wong Solo itu bahaso Jowo, maknonyo Orang Solo. Ha, gittu! Restoran ni ada kat Bangi. Harganya boleh tahan la murah, lagi-lagi kalau makan beramai-ramai camni. Ambik je satu Set Famili. Jimat.

Wah, kecur air liurku melihat kamu!

LOVE YOURSELF

2012-01-02T21:55:00.001+08:00

Baru je lepas tengok episod akhir drama Jepun adaptasi daripada manga femes Yamato Nadeshiko Shinji Henge (Perfect Girl Evolution). Drama ni sangat-sangatlah best. Pelakon semua hensem-hensem. Sunako-chan yang dilakonkan oleh Aya Omasa pun sangat lah comel. Just so you know, cerita ni banyak pengajaran. Dahlah kelakar giler. Memang tak bosan lah kalau tengok citer nie. For sure akan jadi ralit duk depan laptop.

Four handsome flowers; Takenaga, Kyohei, Yukinojo and Ranmaru

Watak Takeru lakonan budak kecik tu pun sweet giler. Comey sangat-sangat. Obachan mak si Takeru pun gorgeous walaupun dah berusia. Obachan tu sangat sayangkan Sunako, anak saudaranya walaupun Sunako bukanlah gadis normal. Aku suke bila Kyohei boleh menerima Sunako bukan berlandaskan rupanya semata-mata. Kalau ikutkan kebanyakan lelaki, mestilah diorang sukakan pompuan yang cantik dan super seksi. Tapi dalam citer ni, Kyohei sukakan Sunako sebab hatinya baik, walaupun penampilannya sangatlah pelik dan menakutkan. Sunako memang sangatlah pendiam dan fobia dengan orang asing, tapi dia memang super handal dalam memasak. Tu salah satu sebab Kyohei sayangkan Sunako. Hehe.

Yang paling aku suka dalam cerita nie ialah bila Kyohei cakap:

BE YOURSELF, YOU'RE FINE JUST THE WAY YOU ARE

Yes, just be yourself. And someday someone will come for you and love you just the way you are. Peace.

p/s: don't forget to LOVE YOURSELF and enjoy life

GLOOM + DOOM

2012-01-01T21:44:00.002+08:00

Today is January 1, 2012. The very first day of the year 2012. Yes, indeed. New year should be celebrated with new spirits and the so-called new year resolutions (ahhh, I don't give a damn about new year's resolution!). But here I am, doing nothing. Nothing good. Just killing some time that shouldn't be killed. In fact, it should be treasured. I should use that time to do good things. But I don't know, I just have no mood to get in work. I guess I'm in the middle of some heavy mood swing.

I really despise this feeling. It's vexing you know. Having to do a lot of works in such a limited time but at the same time being in such a depressed condition until I cannot do a thing makes me feel so CONGESTED. You know? It's hard to be me. There always comes a time whenever I feel like life is unfair. I always ask Allah, why did all these things happen to me? Why do I have to face such great obstacles and ordeals in life? You must be wondering (even if you do and care la kan) why did I say such OBSTACLES and ORDEALS and PAINS and MISERIES. Because I just have to say it. Coz I LOVE to lament. I LOVE to complain. I LOVE to COMPARE. And I LOVE to wallow in sadness. That's why I'm always DISTRAUGHT yaw. Just like a BEREAVED person (when your cats die for instance).

I don't know. I just don't like being me. I hate MYSELF! But thanks to Allah, with the gift of IMAN bestowed upon me, I am able to stand still though sometimes I tend to waver a bit. Yes, it was just a wavering. But at some other times, my life felt like a vertigo that I tend to collapse very easily to the end of the windy road. At such times, I need the helping hands, the helping hands of those who care to help those in need. I need those warm hands. Please lend me some hands.

Whatever la kan major loser kalau dah jadi down tak tahu nak buat ape sampai tulis entri pun dah merapu gilebabeng. Sorry for such harsh words. I'm off to the underworld. Bye cruel world. Bye.

p/s: see the title of the blog? LOST IN MADNESS. That's me.

I hope I can get back into the mood soon...

VIVA VOCE

2011-12-31T19:06:00.001+08:00

Alhamdulillah. Selesai sudah viva voce yang sangat mendebarkan itu. Aku rasa lega sangat-sangat sebab nightmares aku tak menjadi kenyataan! Apakah nightmares tersebut? Jeng, jeng, jeng...

At first, I thought that I would be asked about the proximate analysis. Kalau macam Aisyah yang buat study pasal cellulose dari hampas kelapa, dia ada buat proximate analysis. Macam untuk aku punyer, proximate analysis sangatlah penting sebab barulah boleh compare end result of the synthesized products dengan initial values from the analysis. Wahahahaw, apa aku cakap nie?

Well, anyway, viva voce dah pun berakhir. Lega tak terhingga. Masa aku present, cam bese la kan, nak tak nak mesti kena hentam. Masa tu Dr Farah ngan Dr Siti yang evaluate aku. Dr Hafez selaku supervisor sekadar memerhati (tapi Dr Hafez ada jugak tanya soalan). Soalan Dr Farah memang agak susah. Dr Farah seakan ingin menduga aku. Kecut lah jugak rase time tu. Hewhew. Mana taknya, surface chemistry nie memang bidang Dr Farah. Hari tu pun masa aku nak interpret FTIR image pun aku pegi refer Dr Farah. And seriously, she really had helped me a lot. Thanks Dr.

SENTAP

2011-12-30T20:32:00.001+08:00

Assalamualaikum.

Ehem.

Tadi kitorang ada bengkel latihan industri kat dewan DKU FPQS. Rasa macam berbaloi sangat-sangat coz ada banyak input yang berguna untuk kitorang semua menempuhi fasa baru, iaitu suatu fasa peralihan di mana seorang pelajar akan mula menempuhi alam pekerjaan. Serius tersangatlah nervous untuk pergi LI bulan dua nie. Excited tu ada jugak tapi perasaan nervous to 10 time fold lebih daripada excited.

Dahlah tadi tak semena-mena aku kena panggil ke depan bagi ucapan. Fuh, siyes neves. Mana taknya tetibe je nama aku dipanggil oleh Prof yang masa tu ngah discuss pasal Ethics and Etiquette masa kat tempat kerja nanti. Entah pape la yang aku cakap tadi. Neves toksah cakap, terketar-ketar tangan. Nampak sangat aku ni takde keyakinan. Sedih ah cenggini.

Memang sentap jugak lah tadi bile kena tegur tang cara aku berucap. Memang lah mende tu kira cam mock speech, but it felt like being in the real situation when I had to speak in front of other friends from FST and I was so very the nervous and afraid so much! Dah lah aku cakap sambil berjoget-joget makyong. What de...

Ah, biarlah. Biarlah aku kena cakap camtu pun. Biarlah aku kena tegur macam tu pun. Bagus jugak sebenarnya. Baru lah aku tau kelemahan aku and aku patut gunakan teguran itu untuk improve. Bak kata Dr Siti, TAKE CRITICISM TO IMPROVE YOURSELF. DON'T TO BE TOO SENSITIVE. Yes, lets take it from the bright side la kan. Kalau takde orang tegur mana silap aku, tak ke aku akan bawak semua tu masa aku duk kat sana nanti. Lagi lah naya kalau kena tegur ngan orang sana yang ada pengalaman bertahun-tahun keje kat industri. Lagi bertambah sentap. Huhu.

Speak with poise after this, will you?

Ok. Sekian. Selamat menghadapi final exam dan juga latihan industri bulan dua nie.

MOTIF??

2011-12-17T23:01:00.003+08:00

Ada satu cabaran untuk anda. Cuba bergerak dengan kelajuan 1670 kilometer per jam tanpa menaiki apa-apa kenderaan seperti kapal terbang, kereta lumba mahupun bullet train. Anda rasa mustahil? Fikirkan sekali lagi.

Aaaah, I don't think I can think

Kalau kita kaji pergerakan bumi pada paksinya, kita akan mengetahui bahawa kelajuan pergerakan bumi dalam sehari boleh mencapai kelajuan sehingga 1670 kilometer per jam. So, apa-apa yang ada di bumi kita nie, tak kiralah manusia ke, gunung ke, bangunan ke, haiwan ke, akan turut sama bergerak dengan halaju yang same. Anda sebenarnya sedang bergerak dengan kelajuan kira-kira 1670 kilometer per jam sekarang, walaupun anda hanyalah sekadar berbaring-baring atas katil sambil main Fesbuk. Kita tak dapat merasai halaju tersebut memandangkan bumi ini adalah satu makhluk yang sangat besar maka pergerakan selaju itu tidak mungkin kita sedari. Disebabkan pergerakan bumi jugalah kita merasai siang dan malam.

Sebenarnya post kali nie nak cite pasal wonder of Quran. Salah satunya ialah tentang pergerakan gunung-ganang yang diceritakan dalam surah an-Naml ayat 88 yang bermaksud:

"Dan engkau melihat gunung-ganang, engkau menyangka ia tetap membeku, padahal ia bergerak seperti bergeraknya awan (demikianlah) perbuatan Allah yang telah membuat tiap-tiap sesuatu dengan serapi-rapi dan sebaik-baiknya sesungguhnya Ia amat mendalam pengetahuan-Nya akan apa yang kamu lakukan..."

Sebenarnya gunung-ganang yang kita sangka statik dan tidak bergerak itu sebenarnya bergerak laju selaju pergerakan awan. Seorang saintis German telah memberi teori tentang pergerakan kerak bumi ataupun benua-benua bumi yang berlaku satu masa dahulu. Kira-kira 500 juta tahun dahulu, benua-benua di muka bumi ini adalah bercantum dan merupakan jasad yang satu yang dinamakan Pangea. Lama-kelamaan, pergerakan kerak bumi menjadikan benua yang satu ini hanyut ke arah yang berbeza, lalu menghasilkan plak-plak yang lebih kecil dan terpisah. Benua-benua inilah yang dapat kita lihat sehingga sekarang. Namun sehingga kini, pergerakan plak bumi masih berlaku setiap tahun dan peristiwa ini menyebabkan perubahan nisbah luas kawasan daratan kepada luas lautan. Benarlah apa yang termaktub dalam Quran al Kareem. Benarlah Allah itu Maha Halus, Maha Bijaksana!

Ilmu yang ada dalam Quran sebenarnya cukup untuk membuat kita bertambah keimanan dengan kekuasaan Allahu azza wa jalla. Kita hanya tinggal mengkaji dan merenungi apa yang tertulis dalam kitab suci ini. Sudah banyak kajian sains yang dilakukan oleh saintis Barat yang telah membuktikan kebenaran dan mukjizat al-Quran. Sesetengah pengkaji malah memeluk Islam selepas mengetahui kebenaran al-Quran melalui kajian yang dibuat.

1) Penemuan sungai air tawar dalam lautan di Cenote Angelita, Mexico

Sungguh membingungkan apabila seorang penyelam menemui sebuah anak sungai yang segar dan tawar airnya di perairan Cenote Angelita, Mexico. Fenomena itu sangatlah menakjubkan kerana air laut yang masin dan air tawar itu langsung tidak bercampur. Seolah-olah ada batasan yang menghalangi mereka daripada bercampur.

“ Dan Dialah yang membiarkan dua laut mengalir (berdampingan) ; yang ini tawar lagi segar dan yang lain masin lagi pahit; dan Dia jadikan antara keduanya dinding dan batas yang menghalangi.” (Q.S Al Furqan:53)

Fenomena air laut dan air sungai yang tidak bercampur sudahpun diceritakan oleh al-Quran. Kajian ini telah membuktikan bahawa al-Quran adalah kitab yang benar. Pengkajinya iaitu Jean Jacques Costeau, seorang saintis Perancis terkenal yang juga seorang penyelam, dikatakan telah memeluk Islam selepas mendengar ayat ini. Walaupun ada dakwaan yang menafikan beliau telah memeluk Islam, penemuannya tetap membuktikan kebenaran al-Quran dan ini merupakan sesuatu yang jelas lagi nyata. Bagi saya sendiri, ada kemungkinan besar beliau sudahpun memeluk Islam, dan dakwaan bahawa beliau tidak pernah memeluk Islam hanyalah sekadar propaganda yang direkayasa oleh pihak tertentu. Wallahuallam.

2) Kajian firaun Ramsess II membawa kepada pengislaman Prof Dr Maurice Bucaille

"Maka pada hari ini Kami selamatkan badan kamu supaya menjadi pelajaran bagi orang-orang yang datang sesudah kamu dan sesungguhnya kebanyakan manusia lengah dari tanda-tanda kekuasaan Kami."
(Yunus: 92)

Dr Maurice Bucaille merasa takjub apabila kajiannya menunjukkan mumia Firaun Ramses mengandungi sisa garam yang banyak dalam tubuhnya. Namun, yang masih menjadi tanda tanya ialah bagaimana mayat Ramses tidak hancur dimamah usia berbanding dengan mumia-mumia yang lain. Apabila beliau merujuk kitab Injil dan Taurat, tidak pula disebutkan tentang bagaimana mayatnya diselamatkan. Namun apabila beliau merujuk kepada ilmuan Islam, beliau ditunjukkan ayat 92 Surah Yunus yang menunjukkan bagaimana Allah yang telah menyelamatkan tubuh Ramses untuk dijadikan pengajaran kepada manusia.

Dr Bucaille merasa takjub bagaimana Rasulullah saw mengetahui kisah yang berlaku ribuan tahun sebelum zaman baginda mengenai terselamatnya mayat Ramses, pemerintah Mesir yang kufur. Baginya, mustahil bagi seseorang yang berada pada zaman Rasulullah di mana tiada alat-alat yang canggih untuk mengetahui dan mendalami tentang perkara ini. Semestinya ayat itu datang dari sang Pencipta. Alhamdulillah, Dr Bucaille pun mengucap syahadah dan memeluk Islam.

3) Professor dari Thai masuk Islam selepas kaji kulit manusia

Daripada surah an-Nisa' ayat 56 yang bermaksud:

"Mereka yang menolak ayat-ayat Kami, Kami akan campakkan mereka dalam api, berkali-kali sehingga kulit mereka terbakar hangus. Kami akan ganti kulit mereka dengan kulit yang baru supaya mereka merasakan azab, sesungguhnya Allah itu Maha Berkuasa, Maha Bijaksana..."

Mahu tahu macam mana pengkaji dari Thailand ni masuk Islam? Nantikan sambungannya.

Subhanallah, hebat kuasa Allah!

*tengok kucing pun tau nak memuji Allah. kite????*

cramped

2011-12-07T01:14:00.000+08:00

cramped. jammed. cramped.

jammed cramped!

yes. that may describe me the best right this moment.

now, i got lotsa things in my mind. jeng kreng bak kata orang ganu la (entah dari mana datang perkataan jeng kreng pun aku tak tau. maybe gabungan jammed+crammed kot)

phuh *exhaling loudly*

banyak betul masalah sejak dua menjak nie. 2 bulan nie sangatlah mencabar dan akan jadi lebih mencabar dalam masa terdekat.

aku pasti yang semua orang tengah struggle gila-gila punyelah nak siapkan thesis. it was very the hectic week. seme kerja pakat nak kena pulun dalam satu masa. aku lagilah. banyak benar problem-nye.

skang nie aku confuse camne nak interpret graf FTIR. dalah Dr Farah cakap aku kena pegi balik UKM dapatkan graf absorbance instead of transmittance. mende tu bukan masalah sangat kalau bukan kerna kekangan masa yang kami sedang hadapi skang nie. Dr pun cakap yang aku kene try guna KBr instead of ATR sebab aku punyer spectra is very the broad maka susahlah bagi seorang aku untuk meng-interpretnya. you got what i mean?

and at the same time, i have to deal with EMERY OLEOCHEMICALS for the industrial visit. surat permohonan lawatan da pun diluluskan tapi tarikh lawatan tak leh nak tetapkan lagi. Prof Norita da siap tanda dah kat notebook beliau yang lawatan tu on pada 7 hb 12 walhal sudah terang lagi bersuluh yang EMERY memang tak bagi pun lawatan on 7th disember. ngahaha. punyelah aku nyanyuk and serabai semalam sampai lupa nak cakap kat Prof Java kitorang tu yang 7 hb tu memang tak dapat. paling kaw-kaw pun lawatan tu bleh buat on 12th disember je lah kot. tu pun tak pasti gak. dan uncertainty inilah yang sedang menjerut aku skang nie. lemas rasenye.

maybe dalam 2-3 minggu akan datang akan ada lebih banyak test wa mid semester test. reactor design da ada test selasa depan. khamisnyer pulak ade test halaqah. minggu sekali lagi most probably ade test Dr Che Wan. ngaaaaa! meraung tak berirama lah jawabnye.

Ya Allah, tolonglah hamba-Mu yang lemah ini. Huhu *crying in vain*

darah HIV dalam PEPSI

2011-12-04T20:55:00.001+08:00

GEMPAR!!

Ini berita yang mengejutkan. Petang tadi masa aku blogwalking, aku terserempak dengan artikel yang duk cerita pasal air minuman bikarbonat yang dicampurkan dengan darah HIV! Aku agak kaget tapi masih dapat bertenang. Sebab bukannya aku selalu minum PEPSI ngan COCA-COLA, apatah lagi MIRINDA. Air-air cenggitu memang tak elok coz kandungan gula yang tinggi boleh bagi kau kencing manis. Lepas tu masa aku duduk-duduk time makan malam tadi depan TV, kawan aku ada keluarkan satu bunyi,

"Eh, korang ada dapat tak mesej pasal air PEPSI ada darah HIV?"

Aku pun geleng-geleng. Kawan-kawan aku yang lain pun same. Pastu perbincangan tiba-tiba je jadi hangat sebab cerita pasal darah HIV dalam air minuman sebenarnya dah disiarkan di berita NTV7. Aku pun teringat balik apa yang aku terbaca kat blog tadi. Oh, benar rupanya berita itu.Ingatkan rumours yang tidak berasas. Mujurlah aku tak suke minum mende-mende camtu. Alhamdulillah.

So, lepas ni, jangan minum PEPSI, COCA COLA, TROPICANA JUICE, SEVEN UP and lain-lain minuman yang sewaktu dengannya kerana apa? Kerana mereka sudah dicemari dengan kuman HIV. Nauzubillahiminzalik. Sebar-sebarkanlah berita nie.

Say NO to PEPSI and COCA COLA!!!

pesanan ringkas dari Encik Nichkhun kite

oh tulang

Krak, krak. Telingaku menangkap bunyi berkeriuk. Bunyi itu amat jelas sekali. Mendengarkan bunyi itu setiap kali aku menggerakkan tanganku, aku menjadi runsing. Aneh sungguh rasanye. Adakah tulang aku sudah jadi semakin lemah? Apakah tulang aku sedang mereput dimamah bahana kopi minuman harianku? Oh Tuhanku, aku tak nak reput tulang. Tolong aku Ya Allah. Looks like my bones are running out of time and most importantly, calcium! Umur 22 tapi badan cam orang umur 82 tahun. Malang sungguh rasenya. Hmmm...

p/s: bilalah agaknya kau nak stat minum susu instead of coffee??

Hye and assalamualaikum my lovely readers.

Haha, tajuk pasal PD ngan Melaka tapi gambar semua kat Melaka je kot. Well, kita merancang, Allah yang menentukan iya dop? Mulanya, kitorang plan nak mandi laut kat PD sekali ngan naik banana boat. Namun apakan daya, cuaca tidak mengizinkan kami untuk main banana boat. Angin tersangatlah kuat dan air tersangatlah deras. So, takde sebab untuk kami turun ke laut. Alas, ruginya. Melepas lah aku nak merasa naik bot pisang tu. Dalah seme cakap seronok. Bukan rezeki kami la tuh. Alahai..... *lament*

Okay. Oleh sebab plan A tak jadi, maka ke plan B la kita jawabnya. Kami kemudian bersepakat untuk jalan-jalan ke Melaka. Woh, dari Nilai ke PD lalu ke Melaka. Memang berjalan sakan lah korang.

Ada rase cam duk kat *obersea dop?? (*oversea)

Eh, silap la. Before jalan-jalan, kitorang sebenarnya singgah kat rumah auntie Athirah jap. Huhu.

Ni masa singgah kat umah Mak Long Athirah. Dapatlah minum petang sekali ngan makan kuih. Heaven woh.

Bergambar kenangan dengan Mak Long Athirah yang tersangatlah peramah dan selamba

Then barulah kitorang pegi jalan-jalan di Bandaraya Melaka bersejarah. Happy moments with these happy peoples were captured for memories. Dang, you all are too delicious lah!

Camwhoring dengan keretapi zaman British *amboih, hepi bebenor*

Kami pramugari handalan sedia berkhidmat untuk anda!! *cuba cari ibu mengandung XD*

Water mill yang very the huge and very the beautiful lah

Hepinya engkau Jah

Please jangan ditiru aksi kami yang sempoi bersiar-siar sakan hanya dengan memakai selipar rumah je. Hahaha.

Masa kitorang lalu satu gerai yang jual topi, kitorang pandang-pandang je sambil bisik-bisik "Eh, jom amik gambar ngan topi," walaupun kitorang tahu mustahil la kan vendor tu nak bagi pinjam topi-topi tu untuk ambik gambar. Tapi dengan tak semena-mena dan tiba-tiba je, abang tu pun perasan pastu cakap "Nak amik gambar ke? Boleh je," Waaaaaaaaah, mestilah nak!! Apa lagi, seme pun cepat-cepat amik topi and laju je amik posisi masing-masing untuk bergambar. Hahaha, funny LOL.

Smile~

Gyeopta. Neomu yippo miinaahh!

(You are all beautiful ladies)

Menara Taming Sari. Rupa da macam Space Shot yang sangatlah terrifying and horrible kat Genting tu. Melepas nak merasa tengok pemandangan dari atas menara nie coz kitorang kejar masa nak makan malam pulak. Huhu.

Masa nie semua ngah sibuk cari keychain name masing-masing. Huhu, teruja

Punyelah ralit berjalan-jalan, sedar-sedar dah Maghrib. Tak elok anak-anak perempuan duduk luar time senja-senja ni. Banyak setan, bak kata orang tua-tua. Maka, ke suraulah kami semua untuk solat Maghrib.

Lepas solat Maghrib, kitorang plan nak gi naik cruise. Mulanya aku cam tak nak join tapi dah semua dah pakat nak ikut aku pun join je la skali *elemen consensus di situ*. Bak kata Ira, bila lagi nak merasa kan? Betul jugak ye.

Akhirnya dapatlah merasa naik cruise di sepanjang Sungai Melaka tu. Bayaran RM10 sekepala. Berbaloi la jugak sebab dia pusing 2 round. Dalam 40 minit cam tu la kitorang dapat enjoy pemandangan yang cantik sepanjang perjalanan. Best lol. I tot at first macam bese-bese je cruise nie. Last-last kau sendiri yang takjub ngan view kat situ. Haha. Yang paling cantik aku rase la, bangunan yang bercat putih yang ade tangga berpusing tu. Memang nampak unik and classic. Dala dia punya lukisan cam real giler. Ternganga la sekejap. Ngehehe.

Cantik la gambar ni Ema. Give a clap peeps, give a clap.

Pemandangan malam kat Melaka River Cruise ni memang cantik. Dengan limpahan cahaya neon dan juga LED, suasana memang meriah sangat-sangat. Sukenye. I loikee (credit to Ema)

Kami yang di-compressed and di-squeezed

Best la jugak dapat naik cruise ngan kawan-kawan yang happening cam korang. Thanks korang. XOXO

Dah lepas naik daratan pun boleh pulak nak mintak abang bot tu tolong amikkan gambar kat jeti.

Memang sempoi.

Lepas semua dah penat amik gambar dan jalan-jalan, perut semua dah berkeroncongan. Maka bermulalah satu misi dan ekspedisi untuk mencari makanan. Actually kitorang dah plan nak makan ikan bakar kat Melaka nie coz ramai yang cakap sodap. Disebabkan masa dah dihabiskan di cruise, kami makan malam pun memang agak lewat la. Perut pun da masuk angin da.

Menikmati makan malam (ikan bakar) di Restoran Muara Duyong

Sedap betul ikan bakar tu. Meleleh air liur. Pergh!

Lepas makan-makan, kitorang pun bertolak pulang. Unexpectedly, pukul 1 pagi baru sampai rumah! Semua kepenatan. Semua cepat-cepat mandi pastu cepat-cepat masuk tidur. Berakhirlah sebuah perjalanan 10 gadis daripada Nilai ke PD lalu ke Melaka. Syukur dapat pergi dan pulang dengan selamat. Thanks to Dzilal dan Farah yang memandu dengan sabar. And thanks to Athirah and Ema for capturing such wonderful memories. And thanks also to Farahiyah for the sweet and sour asam that cured the queasy me along the way to Melaka. Thanks a lot for that really had controlled that squeamish nature of mine. Huhu. I heart you all bebeh. Muah!

muka same!

FAMILY DAY

2011-11-28T13:49:00.004+08:00

EVENT: Family Day ICHEMTECH'11

DATE: 25-27 November 2011

VENUE: Impian Country Resort, Hulu Langat, Selangor.

It was a wonderful event, I must say. Being together in the 3-day event is really meaningful because we get to know the new faces and get to mingle around without feeling bashful. Although not all of us from the four batches were there, the chemistry between us were already created unanimously. I guess we all should thank to the amazing activities together with excellent time management by organizational committee members for making such a great memory. Congrats, comrades!

Here are the collection of some pictures taken by Athirah Amran. Enjoy peeps XD

I like this game but failed to balance myself LOL

One of the games included was to bounce the person in the middle of the formed circle. It was fun actually (but not for the one in the middle, obviously).

First year juniors (innocent kan muka adik-adik akak. perghh)

A challenge: Making a circle with the people facing outward

Four young lads indulging the serenity of nature

Our forth year gentlemen. From right: Abang Long, Imran, Qad, Peja (aik, mana Abu Muhammad??)

Nice weather heh? One of the captured views at Impiana Country Resort. During early in the morning, we could see mists on top of the hills. Nice~

Compressed mode

Seriously this picture is AWESOME! I personally give 5 stars to this photo. Looks like a brand new Isotonic drink commercial break. IMPRESSIVE!

They are actually holding water bombs in the game we called Virtue Fighters. The game was really OHSEM. It's freaking hilarious to see those groups get bombarded with the flying water bombs launched by the frantic hands of the remaining players. It happened a lot when a group didn't respond to the calling of the other group. I just can't stop laughing watching them having fun among themselves. It looks like a revival of their childhood.

They were all so sporting and not to mention, naughty. Some of them even filled pails with water to splash on the members of the eliminated group! All get wet and messy with the water and sands. It was a fun scene to watch though.

Excited spectators

See how happy they are enjoying the game

During Virtue Fighters, we had to play in the middle of the field and guess what peeps, it was blazing hot! I guess that's why I got that severe migraine. Huhu. Poor me. With the pounding head, I had to go for Jungle Trekking. It's not that I can't exclude myself, it's just that it felt like a waste if I didn't join my friends into the jungle. It was an opportunity of a lifetime babe! *exaggerating* Seriously, the activity was so adventurous you all. It was like going abseiling instead of jungle trekking. The hill was so high and the land was so steep that I tripped and fell most of the time. Inside the jungle, the weather was cool although the sun was right on top of our head. But not long after we got inside the jungle, it rained. We had to rush and fortunately, the rain stopped a while after that. Syukur.

Yes Izzah. Indeed you were right.

A very impressive method of covering your head inside the jungle. Well done Farah, well done!

After jungle trekking, we gave ourselves reward. We went to dip into the stream there. It was cold and fun. I even got to learn to float inside the water. It was a precious experience.

Behold the beauty of the stream at Impiana Country Resort, which prompted us to dip in the clear water (no pictures since they are quite personal hehe)

Solat jemaah (Maghrib)

For the second day, we got night walking, the very exciting activity which I did not join. Why? Migraine actually. In fact I felt quite regretful coz they say during the walk inside the jungle, they could see glowing mushrooms and tree barks, and I was like, "WOW!!!!". Simply breathtaking.

Beautiful... *tengok Google image je la*

3rd day: Treasure hunt

Looks like there was an issue there. Guess what it is.

That's it. LOL

Lastly, a photo with juniors (senpai + kouhai)

Perayaan-perayaan yang haram diraikan umat Islam

2011-11-24T10:48:00.004+08:00

Assalamualaikum dan hye!

Sila jawab soalan di bawah dengan jujur dan telus.

1) Korang pernah tak keluar dating dengan kekasih korang pada hari Valentine?

2) Pernah tak anda dan kawan-kawan mengenakan kostum pelik dan join mana-mana parti Halloween?

3) Atau pernahkan anda mengenakan kawan-kawan pada 1 April dengan gurauan yang bukan saja hampeh malah memalukan?

Kebanyakan daripada kita, yakni orang Melayu ISLAM (penekanan dengan capslock di situ) tak tahu pun apa tujuan perayaan-perayaan tersebut diadakan. Mostly depa pakat main hentam je. Bila orang lain raya, depa pun ikut beraya. Bukannya nak siasat apa tujuan dan sebab nak sambut sesuatu perayaan tu. Even kita ni Satu Malaysia pun, kita tak boleh ketepikan soal agama. Banyak daripada perayaan yang disambut oleh orang ramai sebenarnya berasal dari ritual keagamaan sesuatu kaum. Jadi, kalau kita umat ISLAM menyambut perayaan itu, maka kita dianggap telah memenuhi ritual kaum itu, lalu kita pun bolehlah dianggap sebagai sebahagian daripada kaum itu. Dan Rasulullah pernah berfirman yang bermaksud, jika seseorang mengikuti amalan sesuatu kaum, maka dia dianggap sebahagian dari kaum itu lalu terkeluar dari agama Islam. Nauzubillah...

Mari kita tengok beberapa jenis perayaan yang biasa disambut oleh orang-orang Barat yang telah menular dalam kalangan umat Islam khususnya.

1. April Fool

Kenapa asal 1 April je, mesti nak kenakan orang? Kenapa 1 April? Kenapa bukan 1 Mei? Kenapa?

Kenapa????!!

JUST TELL ME WHY??????? *emo di situ*

Sebenarnya, April Fool mula diraikan sejak kejatuhan empayar umat Islam di Granada, Sepanyol oleh orang Kristian. Disebabkan kejatuhan kerajaan Islam itulah, umat Islam terpaksa bersembunyi di rumah masing-masing kerana takut dibunuh. Namun, tentera Kristian tidak berpuas hati dan tetap ingin menghalau orang Islam dari bumi Sepanyol. Nak dijadikan cerita, tentera Kristian telah membuat helah dengan mengatakan orang Islam boleh keluar dari Sepanyol beserta barang-barang mereka dengan selamat menggunakan kapal-kapal yang berlabuh di pelabuhan.

Ada orang Islam yang percaya, ada yang tidak. Yang mempercayai pengumuman itu lantas memeriksa pelabuhan dan setelah berpuas hati, mereka merancang untuk bertolak keesokan harinya, yakni 1 April. Namun, ketika umat Islam menuju ke pelabuhan, mereka diserang oleh tentera Kristian. Kapal-kapal pun turut dibakar. Orang tua, kanak-kanak dan wanita habis dibunuh. Peristiwa berdarah inilah yang akhirnya diraikan sebagai acara tahunan. Yang menyedihkan ialah apabila umat Islam turut meraikan perayaan ulangtahun pembunuhan saudara seagamanya sendiri!

Sebenarnya, hukum menyambut April Fool ialah haram. Nak tau kenapa haram? KLIK SINI.

2. Halloween

Perayaan Halloween sangat sinonim dengan watak Jack O'Lantern, yang mana objek anthropomorphism-nya adalah ukiran buah labu yang menyala. Seram la jugak rupa mende tuh. Anyway, macam mana orang boleh stat sambut Halloween?

Okay peeps. Actually, perayaan ini disambut oleh golongan bangsa Galia kuno yang dikenali sebagai Samhain. Nak dipendekkan cerita, asalnya sambutan ni diadakan pada setiap hujung musim panas yang dipanggil Hari Samhain. Hari Samhain ni jatuh pada penghujung musim panas dan permulaan musim luruh dan dikatakan kaum Samhain percaya bahawa pada waktu ini batas antara dunia nyata dengan dunia ghaib amatlah tipis sehinggakan roh orang mati dikatakan dapat menyeberangi alam kita.

Orang-orang Samhain nie akan mengadakan perayaan besar punye untuk sambut roh nenek-moyang mereka yang sudah meninggal dunia. Roh-roh 'diundang' untuk makan bersama, sedangkan roh yang jahat dihalau. Macam mana nak halau roh-roh jahat? Menurut mereka, pemakaian topeng hantu dan mengerikan dapat menghalau roh-roh jahat tersebut lalu menghalang mereka daripada mengganggu perayaan itu. That's why la masa Halloween orang pakai kostum yang creepy (tak lupe jugak kostum yang funny).

Persoalan lain timbul. Kenapa dinamakan Halloween? Kenapa bukan Samhaeen? Sebenarnya, nama Halloween adalah usaha oleh gereja dalam menyekat perayaan Samhain yang dianggap bertentangan dengan ajaran agama Nasrani. Nama perayaan diubah dengan harapan orang-orang Samhain akan meninggalkan perayaan yang dianggap sesat itu. Namun, sehingga kini, perayaan Samhain tidak dapat diubah walaupun namanya sudahpun ditukar kepada Halloween. Well, tak kisah la nama dia Halloween ke, Samhain ke, kita umat Islam diharamkan untuk menyambutnya. Ini amalan agama lain. Hukumnya berdosa.

3. Valentine's Day

Pada tanggal 14 Februari 270 M, St. Valentine dibunuh karena pertentangannya (pertelingkahan) dengan penguasa Romawi pada waktu itu iaitu Raja Claudius II (268 - 270 M). Untuk mengagungkan dia (St. Valentine), yang dianggap sebagai simbol ketabahan, keberanian dan kepasrahan dalam menghadapi cubaan hidup, maka para pengikutnya memperingati kematian St. Valentine sebagai 'upacara keagamaan'.

Tetapi sejak abad 16 M, 'upacara keagamaan' tersebut mulai beransur-ansur hilang dan berubah menjadi 'perayaan bukan keagamaan'. Hari Valentine kemudian dihubungkan dengan pesta jamuan kasih sayang bangsa Romawi kuno yang disebut “Supercalis” yang jatuh pada tanggal 15 Februari.

Setelah orang-orang Romawi itu masuk agama Nasrani (Kristian), pesta 'supercalis' kemudian dikaitkan dengan upacara kematian St. Valentine. Penerimaan upacara kematian St. Valentine sebagai 'hari kasih sayang' juga dikaitkan dengan kepercayaan orang Eropah bahwa waktu 'kasih sayang' itu mulai bersemi 'bagai burung jantan dan betina' pada tanggal 14 Februari.

Dalam bahasa Perancis Normandia, pada abad pertengahan terdapat kata “Galentine” yang bererti 'galant atau cinta'. Persamaan bunyi antara galentine dan valentine menyebabkan orang berfikir bahwa sebaiknya para pemuda dalam mencari pasangan hidupnya pada tanggal 14 Februari. Dengan berkembangnya zaman, seorang 'martyr' bernama St. Valentino mungkin akan terus tersimpang jauh pengertiannya (jauh dari erti yang sebenarnya). Manusia pada zaman sekarang tidak lagi mengetahui dengan jelas asal usul hari Valentine. Di mana pada zaman sekarang ini orang mengenal Valentine melalui greeting card, pesta persaudaraan, bertukar-tukar hadiah dan sebagainya tanpa ingin mengetahui latar belakang sejarahnya lebih dari 1700 tahun yang lalu.

Dari sini dapat disimpulkan bahwa Valentine's Day berupaya merosak 'akidah' muslim dan muslimah melalui gaya hidup barat dengan tema percintaan, jodoh dan kasih sayang.

Seoul Garden @ KL Festival City

2011-11-21T21:56:00.008+08:00

Assalamualaikum and ANNYEONGHASEYO!

Wahwahwah bukan main cakap Korea pulak. Ape citer?

Well, Korea tak Korea. Sebenarnya aku nak citer pasal outing kitorang semalam. Semalam kami bertujuh keluar makan-makan kat Seoul Garden di Kuala Lumpur Festival City kat Setapak. Tak payah pergi Korea dah kalau nak makan makanan Korea. Huhu. For your info, Seoul Garden nie baru je dibuka kat situ. Dek kerana sudah lama kempunan nak merasa barbeque ala Korea ni lah kami bersepakat untuk makan lunch kat sana. Actually, lagi best kalau makan malam tapi sebab harga untuk dinner agak mahal berbanding lunch, kitorang decided to have lunch. Dala kitorang pergi weekend, so memang tak dapat student price. Biarlah.

Akhirnya, merasalah kami untuk jadi orang Korea! Haha. Best la jugak makan barbeque ngan mini steamboat kat Seoul Garden ni. Yelah dah berhabis RM 35.80 mestilah sedap iye dop? Kat sini korang boleh pilih macam-macam jenis daging yang diperap dengan pelbagai jenis rempah dan perasa. Even seafood pun ade yang marinated punye. Yang tak tahannya, ade jugak daging yang coffee marinated! Pelik bebenor lah rasa daging tuh even aku ni peminum kopi tegar. Daging kat sana tak sedap sangat lah bagi aku. Maybe lain tempat lain rasa. Izah cakap kat Gurney Plaza sedap. Kat sini cam so so je. Yang paling sedap pun sotong ngan ikan keli ke belut ke ape entah. Belut tu rase cam kari skit but I like. Lama-lama makan grilled food rasa sebu pulak. Tak macam makan kat MARDI Steamboat. Even sebu pun boleh sumbat lagi.

The famous Seoul Garden

The grill pan *before action*

Daging yang sudah diperap. Ce teka mane satu yang marinate ngan coffee

Ha, see what's boiling and grilling. Makan kat Seoul Garden memang amazing and fun coz kita boleh masak sendiri. Bagi yang malas nak masak tu baik jangan makan kat sini. Memang kena sabar sebab kena selalu balik-balikkan daging tu. Kalau tak, hangit lah daging kau mak nok *mode bapuk*

Close view

Banyak sekali makanan atas meja.

Ha, inilah KIMCHI! Akhirnya dapat aku merasa kimchi, makanan harian orang Korea. Ye lah selama nie kalau tengok citer Korea, memang selalu tengok diorang makan kimchi. Hari-hari kimchi, hari-hari kimchi, sampai terliur mak noqq *aww bapuk kot kau*

Muka girang dapat makan Kimchi. Enak tau dak?

Kawan-kawan yang happening

Happy frens with happy smile. Lepas 3 jam lunch (tiga jam???!) kat Seoul Garden, kami pun berangkat pulang ke Nilai. Eh, tipu. Before pulang ke Nilai, kitorang singgah rumah Athirah kat Danau Kota. Makan-makan, minum-minum, ngobrol-ngobrol, barulah berpusu-pusu naik tren. Ho la mak, ramai orang la kat stesen KTM. Naik semput sebab kena berdiri lam tren. Haha, tipu lagi. Aku duduk la jugak half the way. Baguslah.

On the way pegi KL Sentral...

At the end?

Haha, nampak sangat menipunya!

Jom makan Ketam Steamboat Village plak? Cam best jek? *cakap sambil seluk purse-ku yang dah kosong*

hanya mampu mengeluh di situ~

*lastly, gambor super gedix*

Gumawo chingu!! *thank you my friends for creating such a wonderful memory! XOXO*

udang bersama vitamin C boleh membunuh

2011-11-20T22:56:00.003+08:00

Assalamualaikum. Hye semua.

Hari tu, my mom ada tanya I pasal something. Ma tanya, betul ke bahaya kalau makan vitamin C ngan udang? Aku pun cam blurred je time tu and aku cakap la, nanti Kak Nor surf. Hari nie je kot baru aku sempat nak surf (tu pun sebab baru balik dari Seoul Garden) pasal tu and I was quite shocked to know that indeed it is so true. In fact, eating shrimps with Vitamin C can kill you!

tengok udang buat kurasa lapar~

Ade kisah di sebalik semua tu. Kisahnye macam nie:

Seorang wanita warganegara Taiwan disahkan mati secara mengejut apabila beliau mengalami pendarahan serius. Wanita tersebut dikatakan mengalami pendarahan mata, mulut, hidung dan telinga yang sangat dahsyat sehingga membawa kepada ajalnya. Namun yang menghairankan adalah, semua ahli keluarganya yang lain tidaklah pula menerima ajal walhal mereka juga menikmati hidangan makan malam yang serupa iaitu udang. Inilah yang menjadi tanda tanya para pakar perubatan.

Lalu autopsy ataupun post mortem dilakukan oleh para doktor untuk menyiasat punca kematian tersebut. Perut wanita terbabit turut dianalisis untuk memastikan apekah punca kematian mengejutkan itu. Mengejutkan lagi apabila seorang doktor mendapati wujudnya kandungan arsenik di dalam perut beliau. Dari manakah datangnya arsenik itu? Namun doktor itu membuat kesimpulan bahawa wanita itu bukanlah membunuh diri mahupun diracuni. Sebaliknya, ia diklasifikasikan sebagai kematian tidak sengaja.

Kematian tidak sengaja? Apakah itu? Sebenarnya, setelah wanita itu makan udang dengan banyaknya, beliau terus sahaja meminum cecair Vitamin C yang selalu diamalkannya sebelum ini. Vitamin C itu sendiri tidaklah toksik. Udang pun sama. Namun, campuran kedua-duanya amatlah berbahaya dan boleh membawa maut! Apatah lagi apabila beliau adalah pemakan udang tegar. Menurut pakar, udang yang bercampur dengan vitamin C akan menghasilkan bahan arsenik yang merbahaya. Bahan inilah punca kepada pendarahan yang dialaminya.

Moral of the story: Jangan makan Vitamin C lepas makan udang berpinggan-pinggan. Bahaya.

DECLARATION KALI KE BERAPA ENTAH

2011-11-11T02:14:00.006+08:00

Tulah apa yang saya nak cakap kat semua orang selama ni. All this while, ramai ingat saya amik dentistry. NO! Memanglah masa ASASI dulu saya amik asasi pergigian. Tapi dah ditakdirkan Allah yang saya takde rezeki nak sambung dentistry. Saya reda. Saya bersyukur saya masih hidup *tetibe*. And now, saya amik bidang Industrial Chemical Technology, ataupun dalam Bahasa Melayunya kita sebut, Teknologi Kimia Industri.

Kalau kome nak tau, bidang nie tak sama dengan Kimia Kejuruteraan-CHEMical Engineering-CHEME, tapi nak kata adik-beradik tu, bolehlah kot. Sebab bidang nie ada sangkut paut dengan CHEME (Chemical Engineering). Kalau orang yang amik CHEME, skop kerjayanya more on rekabentuk pelan yang berkisar tentang pembinaan reaktor/mesin/instrumen dan juga pengendaliannya (teknikal). Manakala orang dari ICHEMTECH, macam saya ni lah, akan fokus dalam tindak balas kimia yang berlaku dalam reaktor/mesin/instrumen tersebut. It starts from people of ICHEMTECH to tell the people how much volume to be handled and those people of CHEME would make machines based on the instructions given. Nampak tak mutualism kat situ? That's why saya kata course kitorang nie cam adik-beradik. Huhu.

So, lepas ni, saya harap sangat-sangat orang kat sekeliling saya akan sedar dan mengerti dengan sesungguhnya bahawa saya bukanlah seorang dentist-to-be, but a chemist-to-be. Yes, of course being a dentist is much more glamorous than being a chemist (ye ke? ye lah kot) but that's how things are arranged by Allah in this whole wide world. We do plan, but He the Almighty comes with much better plan than what we thought. So don't have any regret on things in your life for everything happens for a reason okay?

Yes Nichkhun. Thanks for reminding

p/s: Sorry for having to use the fictitious character of Ji Woofrom FUGITIVE PLAN B as the anthropomorphism personification to my anger

p/s/s: scenes were made comic from the original drama, FUGITIVE PLAN B

What a beautiful date! The moment I type this sentence, the clock shows 12.00 A.M. (sharp) of November 11, 2011. Wah, bertuah kot. Tarikh chantek punyer. Ni yang rase nak menulis blog nih. Hmm.

Sejak dua menjak nie, aku dan adik-beradikku terlebih banyak ketawa. Kenapa aku cakap macam tu? Well, sebenarnya, kitorang ketawa sebab tengok video yang kelakar nak mati. Video cut scenes citer mat saleh, tapi dubbing ngan subbing orang Melayu. Dah la suara ikut gerak bibir. Real habis! Siyes kelakar dow. Mula-mula aku rase cam harem je video-video tu, tapi bile tengok lama-lama, tergolek-golek pulak aku jadinye. Tak tahu lah kan korang rase kelakar ke tak tapi kitorang 5 beradik memang gelak gile-gile lah bile layan video-video si Farady Anwar nie. Kalu nak tahu gile ke tak gile video-video mamat nie, korang layan lah kejap videonyer kat bawah nie.

Tapi, banyak sangat gelak tak elok la wey. Nanti boleh jadi kau nangis pulak. So, bersederhanalah kalau nak gelak. Takut at the end of the day, kau menangis tak berlagu. Bukankah sudah ade peringatan daripada Allah yang berbunyi:

So berpada-padalah kita dalam bergelak ketawa ye? Huhu.

tricks revealed

2011-11-09T12:37:00.004+08:00

Assalamualaikum and hye everyone!

Today I'm gonna share with you about some tricks done in movies and dramas.

Sakaki Makio from the famous Japanese drama, MY BOSS MY HERO

Maybe some of you already heard about this. It's all thanks to the wonder of chemistry created by Allah. Korang pernah tengok citer kartun Donald Duck? Ever wonder how could the person dub with the voice of a duck? Is there even a person with such a squeaky voice akin to a duck? Actually, just by inhaling a particular type of gas would do the trick. What is the gas? The answer is helium.

Helium is six time lighter than air. Inhaling helium can change the pitch of your voice making it sound like Chipmunk and Donald Duck. It was kind of fun to inhale helium from helium balloon and laugh at your own silly voice. Nevertheless, don't do it too often for it may cause lung damage. One thing to bear in mind, never inhale helium from high-pressure tank! It's dangerous yaw. You may die from stroke. No more laughing after reading this. Aha, gotcha!

Ever heard Vin Diesel in squeaky voice? watch this!

Do you remember a scene from Ice Age 3? When they were crossing a hanging bridge at The Chasm of Death, they saw many skeletons of those people who died from laughing. The little creature named Buck had said "Do not inhale the gas, or you will die!" beforehand but due to some technical failure they were stuck in the middle of the cross, leaving them with no option but to inhale the air mixed with the laughing gas (I guess it was helium). What happened was they laughed to tears! It was fun to watch. The people who died at The Chasm had laughed too much until the lungs could no longer handle the pressure hence it stopped pumping air. Then you know what happened to those who suffocated. The end.

Buck from Ice Age 3

I watched My Boss My Hero, a Japanese drama. It was about a group of Yakuza in Japan. This drama is freaking awesome! I give 5 stars to it *clap clap*. Sakaki Makio was so funny and I love his dorky character. In this drama, there was a scene when Sakaki disguised as the Kamen Rider in order to save his friends from thugs. But also having to mask his real voice, he had to inhale helium to make it sound squeaky. It was funny dow. Haha! I almost die from laughing. I guess one doesn't need helium to laugh. Sakaki's scowling faces are enough to give you the laughing gas effect. Wahahaha!

Oh, Nagase Tomoya. You make my day!

Well, if helium (six times lighter than air) could give you such a funny squeaky voice, then what sulfur hexafluoride (which is being six times heavier than air) could possibly do? Steve Spangler got the answer. Curious? Watch this video

It's amazing when the gas is so heavy that it could hold an aluminum boat, making it looks like it's floating! WOW! Sulfur hexafluoride is also fun to be played with. But don't do it too often for it may jeopardize your health. Take things moderately in your life and you will be happy. It applies to every aspect of life.

That's all for today.

Bye.

what is your fragrance?

2011-11-08T11:57:00.007+08:00

Quel est votre parfum?

Vavava, beria gile kot aku ni cakap French. Mentang-mentang la nak citer pasal perfume. Well, mestilah ada sedikit elemen France kat situ, barulah rase vogue (disebut vowg, not vogeh okeyh).

Okay now peeps. Perfume is called parfum in French yaw. So what I'm gonna ask you readers today is "quel est votre parfum?", which literally means "What is your fragrance?"

deretan botol perfum yang comel

What do we really know about perfume anyway? Just like how any average person could tell, perfume is the substance we use to give people or objects pleasant odours. Well, I must say that life without perfume would be dull and tasteless. Even the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) loves fragrance and it is sunnah for us to apply some fragrance before performing solat. And as for me, I can't help it but apply the perfume all the time, even when just being at home doing nothing. Perfume makes me relinquished and fresh.

If you all may ask, or may be wondering, or at least used to be wondering, what makes perfume smelling good? The answer is simple; essential oil. The chemical compounds that make up the essential oils could be esters or ether. Essential oil ataupun kita panggil minyak pati boleh diekstrak daripada tumbuh-tumbuhan. Biasanya minyak pati akan diestrak daripada bunga dan buah. Ada juga minyak pati yang berasal dari batang pokok. Ada jugak minyak pati yang diperoleh daripada haiwan contohnya kasturi yang diekstrak daripada kijang. Amazing right?

Another question may arise. How do they make perfume? Sebenarnya, perfume yang dihasilkan oleh perfumers adalah dengan melarutkan essential oil yang diekstrak tadi dalam solvent. Solvent pulak ada dua jenis, satu ialah ethanol (biasa digunakan) dan yang satu lagi ialah odorless oil (contohnya jojoba oil and olive oil). Biasanya, perfume yang menggunakan minyak (oil) sebagai solvent adalah lebih wangi dan aromanya tahan lama. Sah-sah jugaklah oil-based perfume lagi mahal sebab kualiti dia lagi unggul bermutu.

Elizabeth Arden ialah antara jenama perfume terkemuka dunia

Sebenarnya, ade beberapa jenis minyak wangi yang berbeza berdasarkan kepekatan essential oil yang digunakan. Yang paling pekat essential oil-nya dipanggil Parfum (French). Klasifikasi pun based on French. IDK why, but maybe, just maybe, the author-cum-perfumer is French. Huhu.

Parfum

Esprit de Parfum

Eau de Parfum

Eau de Toilette

Eau de Cologne

Perfume mist

But according to what I read, the classification is not necessarily correct. There is no standardized concentration level of essential oil used in each perfume that can distinctly differ one perfume from another. Contohnya, Eau de Parfum memang lagi pekat essential oil dia berbanding Eau de Toilette. Tapi, percentage essential oil may differ in both in a changing manner.

Sometimes, Eau de Toilette mempunyai concentration essential oil lagi tinggi berbanding Eau de Parfum sebab maybe cara perfumer A buat perfume berbeza dengan perfumer B. So, ada kemungkinan perfumer A hasilkan Eau de Toilette lagi kuat dan tahan baunya berbanding Eau de Parfum hasil perfumer B (faham tak? aku sendiri pun cam tak reti nak explain lebih-lebih coz aku pun bukannye seorang perfume connoisseur) Harap-harap faham la ye kawan-kawan. Lau tak faham pun, buat-buat faham la eh? Huhu.

Ehem, okay kita sambung lagi pasal apa yang aku dapat kat tenet tadi. Being described as a musical metaphor, perfume is said to have three sets of notes (top notes, middle notes, base notes). Weyh, minyak wangi pun ade nota muzik weyh. Jangan main-main nau. Patutlah rasa cam nak menari-nari je bila pakai perfum. Heaven rase *tetibe*

These notes make a harmonious blend of a perfume and give off its signature scent. Top notes (also called head notes) consist of very volatile substance that will evaporate quickly once applied. They are scented immediately after being applied. Kiranya, top notes ni macam muqaddimah lah. These top notes give the first impression of the perfume to those who wanna buy it. So, it is crucial for perfumers to select the best materials to be made into top notes as a way to attract buyers into buying their products.

Middle notes are compounds that form the "heart" of the perfume, masking the often unpleasant scent of base notes, which become more pleasant with time. Lastly, the base notes appear close to the departure of the middle notes. The compounds making up the base notes are usually rich and deep and are not usually perceived until 30 minutes after application *sebab tu orang cakap kalau nak beli perfum kena tunggu dalam 15-30 minit baru bau sebenar akan muncul*

Take Neroli Jasmine from Body Shop as an example. Neroli Jasmine is the oriental fragrance for women which gives off serene and pleasant odor. The top notes are neroli, freesia and violet leaf. Middles notes are orange blossoms, jasmine and peony. The base notes are sandalwood, vanilla and musk.

Itulah dia sedikit sebanyak yang mampu dikongsi hasil dari carian maklumat dunia di hujung jari. Ok, let's get back to the question, what is your fragrance? Some may prefer to have many collections of perfume. Some other prefer to stick to one single perfume, making it their signature perfume. Sebenarnya saya suka pakai satu jenis sahaja. Tak ade lah nak buat koleksi. Dah la minyak wangi ni mahal. Mana ade fulus nak kumpul banyak-banyak cik kak oi. Beli satu sudah.

Bankrup mak nok kalau duk kumpul perfume segodang macam Ferragamo nih

Aku suke gile Neroli Jasmine (NJ) nie. Serius. Inilah cinta pertama aku. Hari tu masa jalan-jalan kat shopping mall ngan girlpren, tersinggah kat Body Shop. Aku pun pegilah jenguk-jenguk produk wangian yang tersusun rapi atas rak. Then, aku terpandang satu botol wangian berwarna amber. Kucapai dengan pantas lalu ku apply kat wrist. Hidungku mengesan wangian yang sangat captivating lantas ku merasa satu kebahagiaan yang amat sangat *hamboih kau melampau*. At that moment I was somewhat mesmerized with the tempting scent of the perfume. It felt so calming and refreshing. I was speechless back then not only by the great scent of the NJ but also by the quite-the-shocking price. Haha, what do you expect from something like that Jannah?

p/s: I guess it suits me too well. I like the scent till now. Neroli Jasmine = NJ = Nor Jannah. Miracle right? Miracle

awas! kucing mengamuk

2011-11-04T11:53:00.002+08:00

Hi semua!

Tadi aku terjumpa satu video yang very the kelakar. Video ni pasal kucing marah kat babysitter yang tengah babysit anak tuan kucing itu. Ceritanya macam nie.

Ada sorang babysitter tengah main bola dengan sorang budak. Masa tu diorang ada kat ruang tamu. Then tiba-tiba bola tu terkena sebuah gelas kaca kat atas meja. Pang! Bunyi kaca yang pecah tu telah mengejutkan budak kecik tu lantas budak tu menangis. Kucing tu pulak, lepas dengar je bunyi kaca pecah yang disertai dengan bunyi tangisan budak kecik tu, dia bergegas lari ke tempat kejadian. Masa tu, babysitter tu tengah tenangkan budak yang nangis sambil mengutip serpihan kaca yang bertaburan. Then, dengan tak semena-mena si kucing tadi menyerang babysitter tu! Tiba-tiba si kucing menjadi ganas dan agresif, sampai babysitter tu pun jadi takut. Tapi dia hanya mampu kuis dengan kaki je lah, nak tendang kuat-kuat nanti kena pocat den. Ha, nak tau cam ne, tengok video nie.

Aku pun tak faham nape si kucing 'bengang' gila ngan babysitter tu. Adakah dia marah sebab si babysitter pecahkan barang tuan dia, ataupun adakah dia marah sebab ingat babysitter buli budak tu sampai budak tu menangis? Tapi seriously menakutkan bila dia serang pompuan tu. But at the same time, tindakan sang kucing tu sangat cute sebab dia nak mempertahankan anak tuan dia. Maybe kucing tu ingat si babysitter tu orang yang nak pecah rumah tuan dia babtu dia marah. Yang paling kelakar bila ada sekor lagi kucing yang cuba menenangkan kawannya yang tengah marah. Haha, cute!

Hi, everyone!

Just wanna share about our visit to UKM this morning. Under supervision of Prof Sahaid, we went there to have a look on the bioreactors and their operations in UKM Biotechnology labs. It was kind of fun I must say. The people there treated us so warmly and friendly. They even had no 'segan-silu' feeling whatsoever whenever we wanna take some photos with them. On top of that, most of them explained about the reactors with so much scrutiny and enthusiasm whenever questions popped out. We really feel benefited from such a visit.

Bergambar kenangan di tepi tasik

Peace no war bebeh!

Ha, meh dengar taklimat dulu

Lepas briefing, mestilah ada refreshment. Menu: mihun goreng + Teh O Panas.

Bioreactor with four BAFFLES *mode serius*

Sesi soal jawab

Pilot scale fermentor. Aku pun sempat jenguk dalam fermentor tu. Besar. Fermentor ni adalah dari jenis yang steam jacketed. Steam akan dibekalkan untuk sterilize the whole inner part of the fermentor.

Mengabadikan kenangan dengan staf-staf dari

Jabatan Kejuruteraan Kimia dan Proses dan juga beberapa students UKM

After lawatan tu, kitorang singgah kat Bangi untuk lunch. Then at about 2.00 PM, Dzilal hantar kitorang ke kampus for we wanted to proceed our labworks. Aku tinggal nak siapkan satu je lagi replicate activated carbon guna zinc chloride. Syukur, dah tinggal nak keringkan sampel tu and timbang keesokan harinya. Dalam pukul 5 aku da siap filter basuh radas ape semua. But at around 5 PM, it rained so hard. We can't walk la and we have to wait for the rain to stop or better, wait for the bus. Nevertheless, the buses to Jati refused to drop us at Acacia. Being left with no other option, we then had to walk in the rain! *tapi mujur hujan da surut time kitorang stat jalan*

Mode kechewa sebab bas taknak amik budak akasia sampai

kitorang kena jalan kaki balik umah. Mujur umah dekat je. wuwu

Activated carbon using zinc chloride as the chemical agent. Ada warna kuning kehijauan sikit la, kalau korang perasan. Tu efek dari pembakaran zinc chloride pada suhu 600 degree. Panas yaw. Yang hitam-hitam ni lah yang remain dalam alundum boat tu. Sikit kan? Nak tahu nape sikit?

Ni lah penyebabye! Mende tu tumpah banyak giler kot dalam tube furnace. Tapi aku malas ah nak kutip yang tumpah sebab bimbang ada contamination. Sadis ah bila dah jadi camnie. Patutlah yield aku sikit cekediput. 20% jer. 20%!!!

Sama-sama je banyaknyer. Uh....

Dalam bengang pun ade mood lagi nak amik gambo. PUI

terkedu.

2011-10-31T23:54:00.001+08:00

Why am I terkedu?

Well, today we had a class with Dr Nik.

I was quite surprised after being given the very first assignment

on Oleochemical and Petrochemical Industry.

The thing that made me more surprised was the DUE date; November 14.

Well, that's nothing, except for it was right after we come back from semester break.

All I need to do is to sacrifice some of the semester break to complete

the task given or else I'll die.

Wanna know what made me more nervous? There will be test on

November 17, 3 days after the due date for assignment

IDK but I feel kind of nervous. These TWO burdens feels too

BURDENSOME and ONEROUS

Oh God, help me in this.

Jangan Gosok Gigi!

2011-10-29T11:40:00.009+08:00

Hi, assalamualaikum!

Selamat pagi semua. Dah mandi gosok gigi belum? Ha, kalau belum, baguslah. Jangan gosok gigi lagi! Sebab hari ni aku nak cakap pasal apa yang ada dalam syampu, sabun, ubat gigi, detergent dan lain-lain bahan pencuci yang ade di rumah anda.

Hoh, apasal ko tak bagi aku goshok gigi plak?

The other day when I was doing some reckless blogwalking, I stumbled upon an article regarding Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES). SLES ini adalah sejenis bahan kimia yang biasa digunakan dalam sabun. Ia bersifat surface active, maka dia dikategorikan sebagai surfactant. SLES berupaya menghasilkan buih lalu sifat pembuih SLES ini membolehkannya menjadi agen pencuci yang hebat. Namun, menurut artikel berkenaan, bahan kimia ni dikatakan sangatlah berbahaya, toxic malah boleh menyebabkan KANSER! And I was so shocked. I was wondering, betulkah ini? Benarkah ini? Kerana ini hal serius.

Hah? Bahaya? Camne nak mandi kalau takde sabun??

Then I did some reading in the Internet and what I found was quite disappointing. Indeed, this chemical is really hazardous. Malah, apa yang membuatkan aku lebih kechewa gundah gulana adalah apabila mengetahui bahan kimia tersebut digunakan dengan meluasnya dalam kebanyakan produk harian kita. Antara produk tersebut ialah:

Sabun

Syampu

Mandian buih

Ubat gigi

Pembasuh pinggan

Syampu kanak-kanak

Pencuci karpet

Sabun pencuci pakaian

Gam fabrik

Mandian badan

Krim pencukur

Maskara

Pembersih muka

Krim pelembab

Losyen badan/muka

Sungguh banyak sekali produk harian yang menggunakan SLES. Sedih ah macam nie. Aku pun tak sure betul ke tak agent pencuci ni benar-benar bahaya ke tak tapi banyak artikel kat Internet yang cakap SLES memang bahaya. SLES boleh menyebabkan kulit menjadi kering kerana ia berupaya me'larut'kan minyak pada kulit. Kulit yang terhidrasi akan lebih terdedah dengan agen-agen pencemar dari udara sekeliling lalu memberi iritasi pada kulit kita *ingat lagi tak iklan Lifebuoy pasal kulit kering tu?*

Macam-macam lah dakwaan yang berlegar kat laman web pasal toxicity SLES ni. Aku pun jadi bingung. Kalau mende tu bahaya, kenapa still manufacturers guna bahan cam tu untuk formulasi produk mereka? Persoalan itu terjawab saat mata tertangkap satu ayat dalam laman web itu yang mengatakan bahawa SLES adalah agent pembuih yang murah (oh I see...).

Maka tidak hairanlah kebanyakan pembekal produk menggunakan SLES dalam penghasilan barang-barang harian tersebut. Kebanyakan industri pikir nak untung je. Tak kira mende tu bahaya ke tak. Yang jadi mangsa adalah kita; CONSUMERS. Tapi kita pun kena reflect jugak, mungkin itu semua adalah kerana demand pengguna sendiri dalam memilih kualiti barangan. Kalau aku la, aku memang suka basuh baju sampai berbuih-buih baldi tu masa nak rendam baju. Rasa cam best kan kalau basuh baju ada buih banyak. Baru baju tu betul-betul bersih. Tak ke gitu? SLES lah yang bertanggungjawab untuk menghasilkan buih tu. Ha, banyak buih tu la bahaya sebenarnya.

So lepas nie, marilah kita sama-sama bertukar kepada produk yang bebas SLES. Cek label syampu atau sabun sebelum membelinya. Berhati-hati dengan dakwaan "100% Herbal" atau "100% Natural" kerana tidak semestinya bahan yang berlabel sedemikian adalah benar-benar BEBAS dengan kandungan SLES. Sesetengah produk sedemikian masih lagi menggunakan SLES sebagai kandungan utamanya.

footnote: aku ni macam cakap tak serupa bikin jer. stok syampu aku tu still tak pakai lagi. nak buang membazir. nak pakai cam bahaya. ambivalent jadinya. aah, tak suke ah camni! aku cakap tak suka, tak suka arh! *aik cam kenal je ayat tu*

DANGER OF SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE

que sera sera

2011-10-24T20:46:00.002+08:00

Whatever will be, will be.

There comes a time whenever I feel that my life is so unfair. I kept asking myself, why is this happening to me? Why is that happening to me? Why isn't this and that and this happen to me instead? I keep ranting about this again and again. All I ever do is whining and frowning and scowling on almost every thing in my life. I just feel unsatisfied.

But then again, it's all about FATE; the fate that has been preordained even before you were born. So you mustn't feel sad or wallow yourself in despair on things that happened in your life coz they happened for reasons. The things must happen and therefore will happen. Whatever will happen, will happen. Whatever will be, will be. It's lumrah alam.

Why you would whine every time you face difficulties? Why don't you say "why am I so blessed?" whenever you get so much blessings and prosperity in life? Nobody would do that right? We only whines on things we despise, things that make we feel uncomfortable. That is what happens to humans and their greed. WE never get contented on what we get. The more we get, the more we crave on it. That is what resulting from unbridled lusts of humanity. Do we realize these peeps??

All in all, we must accept the truth of our life. We mustn't take things for granted. Be grateful bebeh. And be happy in everything in your life.

wanna buy neroli jasmine oil perfume so much right now.

o body shop, come to me this instant!

p/s: Whatever will be, will be (Spanish- QUE SERA SERA)

just wanna share

2011-10-23T00:53:00.002+08:00

oh my goodness! what's this? what's the dirty black piece of c***??!

if you wanna know, let me introduce you to my synthesized product.

that black substance you saw just now is my activated carbon, synthesized using phosphoric acid. though it looks so black, it has many applications. it is good you know? (whatever la aku nie takde modal nak tulis ape tapi nak tulis jugak so aku tulis la pasal thesis aku)

masa filtration, guna vacuum pump. alas, the effluent looks so black. i had to re-filter it. it took about 2 hours or so. so tiring, but it must be done in order to complete my thesis. way to go Jannah!

our lovely instrument, mr tube furnace that always ponder while looking outside the window pane of FST lab

the window which the fumes coming out from (see that red duct tape? it means this is a very HAZARDOUS area. don't come any closer)

okay now. i gotta go bebeh. so sleepy meepy.

*mana bantal?*

HOT

2011-10-18T20:48:00.002+08:00

HOT KE?

Pagi tadi, kami telah berjaya menyelesaikan sebuah misi penting. Misi ni memerlukan 'kepakaran' tahap tinggi untuk diselesaikan dan alhamdulillah, dengan izin Allah, semuanya sudah selesai. Misi sudah sempurna, dan kami pun sudah boleh menarik nafas lega. Ada paham?

Ceritanya macam ni.

Thesis kitorang nie ada kena guna tube furnace. Tube furnace ni arwah Dr Aziz yang beli masa arwah buat pHd kat London dulu-dulu, guna duit beliau sendiri. Beratus riban jugaklah arwah spent untuk beli alat nie. Thesis kami melibatkan proses di mana pembakaran tanpa oksigen berlaku, dan tube furnace adalah alat yang paling sesuai digunakan. Malah, arwah Dr sendiri yang menyarankan agar kami menggunakan instrumentnya itu.

Tube furnace tu sebenarnya berupaya membebaskan gas-gas berbahaya saat chemical reaction atau tindakbalas kimia berlaku sewaktu pembakaran (yakni calcination dan pyrolysis). Namun, dek kerana saiznya yang panjang, ianya tidak boleh dimuatkan di dalam fume hood. Kami hanya mampu menghalakan outlet gas ke luar tingkap sahaja instead of using fume hood. Fume hood ni ialah satu alat yang sangat efisien bilamana gas-gas yang terbebas akan ditapis lalu gas yang ditapis bersih itu akan dibebaskan ke udara. Dengan itu, usah risau lagi dengan gas-gas yang bakal terbebas. Dijamin halal dan selamat untuk dihidu.

Bimbang dengan bahaya gas yang bakal melanda, kami bersepakat membawa berkat untuk mencipta atau mereka satu cara untuk memastikan gas terbebas akan betul-betul ke luar tingkap. Masalah sebelum ni timbul apabila angin dari luar bertiup, lalu gas yang terbebas semasa pembakaran akan berpusu-pusu masuk ke ruangan lab tempat kami bereksperimentasi lalu gas-gas itu menyesakkan pernafasan kami dengan baunya yang agak pungent.

Setelah meluangkan masa selama beberapa jam (ye ker) berfikir dan mereka bentuk, inilah hasilnya.

Cover guna plastik pembalut buku sudah. Jimat dan efisien.

Furnace ini memang HOT. So jangan gatal-gatal nak sentuh dia. Nanti cair tangan tuh.

Hot and fiery tube furnace (unavoidable redundancy)

Nampak sangat tengah posing

Say FURRR-NACE!

Akhir kata, kami sayang tube furnace nie.

Dear tube furnace, dikau inspirasiku (tetibe!)

Okay bebeh bebehku sekalian. Chow.

Nak pegi basuh baju. Esok nak bangun

awal nak bergelumang ngan acid plak kat lab. Huhu.

Salam. Thanks for reading.

"Please respect the bacteria"

2011-10-18T00:07:00.004+08:00

Yes. We all must respect bacteria. Sounds funny you say? That was what said by Dr Che Wan last week. And those words have been lingering in my mind for days. It is actually a good thing to ponder.

Indeed it is true. Just imagine, because of the small organisms which you can't even see with your naked eyes, you can get sick for weeks or months. See the power of microorganism created by Allah? So don't be riak au takabbur. Don't be so arrogant with whatever it is that you have in your life for you can be defeated easily by those little creatures floating in the air, lurking underground, swimming in the water.

However, bacteria are not all notorious. Many of them are good ones. In fact, those good bacteria have their own contributions, like in fermentation, whose products are essential in our life.

You must start learning to respect yourself, Plankton!

Actually, bacteria is plankton, and plankton is bacteria. Plankton comprises animals, bacteria or plants that live at the sea grounds. When they die, they will be drifted into the sand and mud at the bottom of the sea (bikini bottom maybe?). Sooner, they would be buried deeper and deeper, and due to increase in temperature and pressure which took place in million of years, petroleum will be produced! See the miracle that plankton holds? Amazing, to me.

Just imagine the world without petroleum. There will be no civilization I guess. But sooner or later, the oil reserves worldwide will surely exhaust and we Earthlings must find alternatives to the petroleum as energy source. Coz every thing has its own limitation. There will be time when the oil supplies start to deplete and the era of cheap oil would be nowhere to be found.

Beautiful plankton

patutkah aku stress?

2011-10-14T15:32:00.005+08:00

Semalam dan hari ini aku sangat tension. Aku spend dalam dua hari nak synthesize activated carbon guna zinc chloride. First day, after timbang pape yang patut, aku impregnate lah coconut powder ngan solution zinc tu. Biar lam oven semalaman.

Impregnation of coconut shell dalam larutan zinc chloride. Ni adalah step before dehydration (aku dehydrate menda ni untuk 24 jam guna suhu 110 degree celcius). Berani mau celup tangan dalam larutan panas nie? Nehi hey....

After dehydration. Dah jadi macam tar dah.

Esoknya, aku ambik la mende tu dari oven. Pekat. Lalu dengan pantas dan nervousnya aku tuang larutan pekat berwarna hitam likat tu (pitch black bak kata omputeh) dalam alundum boat yang diperbuat daripada stainless steel tu. Entah kenapa, aku rasa gaya aku semalam dah macam orang tengah buat coklat plak. Apekejadahnye kau buat coklat dalam makmal kimia? Nak mati ke ape?

Okay. Tengah-tengah duk syok tuang tu, aku baru perasan tak cukup bekas untuk habiskan kesemua pregnant solution yang ala-ala coklat tu. Aku pun menjadi sedikit panik. Cepat-cepat aku capai handset sony ericsson ku yang juga kaler hitam tu dalam beg, lantas jari-jemari biruku (dek pakai gelov biru) menekan butang call number Dzilal untuk tanya mana dia letak boat tu. Malangnya Dzilal tidak mengangkat panggilan aku. Mujur aku terjumpa boat itu dalam laci Dzilal. Pantas aku menyambung proses menuang tadi. Malang lagi apabila sedikit daripada solution itu tumpah!!! Ottokaji?

Aku berhenti seketika, berfikir. Camne ngan solution yang tertumpah itu? Perlukah ku kutip? Ah, persetankan aje! Aku pun teruskan je tuang menda alah tu. Then, aku pegi tengok tube furnace, setting yang mana patut. Dengan berhati-hati, aku angkat boat-boat yang penuh berisi pregnant solution tu ke tube furnace. Aku pening. Pening. How am I going to put all the five boats into the tube??? Dahlah mende tu tak berapa nak panjang sangat. Ottokaji???

Dengan berhati-hati dan penuh teliti (teliti ke?) aku tolak boat yang teramatlah sarat dengan pregnant solution itu ke dalam tube furnace guna rod besi. Penat dow nak kasi dia masuk slow-slow, tak nak kasi dia capsize (capsize? ini bukan boat 4- rowing masum yuoolss). Then, aku seal la bukaan tube tuh. Pastu aku set suhu 600 degree, bukak gas nitrogen, bukak air paip biar sejuk sistem tube tu, and run the sample. Phuh. Penat.

Mister tube furnace yang memerlukan kesabaran dan kewibawaan untuk dikendalikan.

Tunggu punyer tunggu, sejam berlalu. Aku pun off kan temperature controller tu. Tunggu tube sejuk jap. Then bila buka, aku amat terkejut. What de?? Boat yang paling terjojol (terkeluar) tu basah sama macam masa baru masuk. Tergezut la jugak. Apekejadahnya lepas bakar pun same jugak? Baik takyah bakar. Buat penat aku je. Harap asap je berkepul-kepul. Then, dalam banyak-banyak boat yang masuk tube tu, hanya 3 je yang betul betul ho liawww. Eh, bukan ho liaw. Yang betul-betul terbakar hingga kering. At the same time, ada warna kuning kehijauan sket dalam campuran activated carbon tu. Disebabkan 2 boat lagi tak terbakar habis, maknanya boleh disimpulkan eksperimen itu GAGAL! Kenapa? Yelah, mende tak homogenous camne aku nak timbang untuk kira yielddddddddd??? Argh, tension!

Maka, ke sink la jawabnya kesemua sample itu tadi. Berputih mata aku jadinya apabila Dzilal tolong aku mencuci boat-boat berisi activated carbon itu. Wa wa wa wa! Nak nangis lah macam nie. Penat aku buat last-last tak menjadi pulak. Wuwu. Bukan sahaja tak menjadi, tube furnace pun jadi hitam sangat sebab carbon tu terbakar macam arang! Penat la pulak tangan aku yang lemah longlai ni nak tonyoh, tenyeh dan gonyoh tube yang sangat kotor giler. Dahla suhu 600 degree. 600!! ENAM RATUS okay? Habis terbakar kain GOOD MORNING lab tu. Nasib Encik Naza takde. Kalau ada, mampus aku kena sembur sebab buat rosak barang makmal. Huhu.

Dek kerana suhu panas tu tak turun-turun, aku ambik keputusan nak basuh esoknye. Esoknye, yakni hari ni, aku terkejut bila tengok ada mendakan dalam tube tu. Susah nak korek keluar sebab dia da mengeras dek ditinggalkan semalaman. Dekat dua jam aku bertungkus-lumus duk korek deposit hitam tu. Mujur muka aku tak jadi hitam penangan eksperimen sendiri. Jadi merah ade ler, merah padam sebab tension buat menda tu tak siap-siap.

Nasib badan. Dahlah zinc chloride tu corrosive. Patutla tangah aku gatal-gatal je semalam and hari ni. Tulah, sape suh tak bacer MSDS? Kata chemist. Heh *tau malu*. Glove pulak pakai sekejap je coz tangan cepat berpeluh, lama-lama pakai aku jadi kurang selesa lalu aku buang je gelov itu.

Sekarang nie masa makin suntuk. Bulan doblas nie dah nak kena viva. Aku punye part synthesis ni pun tak siap-siap lagi. Analysis nanti pun akan ambik masa. Nak hantar kat universiti lain pun kena ade prosedur itu ini. Leceh.

Korang rasa patutkah aku seteres (ejaan 'hebat' untuk stress)

Aku harap sempat lah nak habiskan semua tu. Barulah aku dapat selesaikan thesis and pegi LI dengan gumbira. HAHAHAHA!

royal water

2011-10-12T22:41:00.011+08:00

Hai everybody! Whazzup?

Hm. Hari ni, aku nak bercerita tentang sebuah cerita yang amat menarik. Cerita ni berlaku masa lecture KIMIA PERINDUSTRIAN 2 hari tu and it's about Royal Water.

Anyway ape tu Royal Water? Ce citer, ce citer.

Hari tu kan, masa dalam kelas Industrial Chemistry, Dr Che Wan sangat asyik bercerita pasal Aurum a.k.a Emas a.k.a Gold. Well, if diamond is a woman's best friend, we can say gold is a woman's BFFF. You got what I mean? BFFF? Best friend forever ever, together gether?

Okay, back to the story now. It was interesting when Dr was telling us the stories of the extraction of gold, together with all the processes and what not. And at one point, dekat slide ada terpampang some words yang Dr mintak kitorang surf, and one of them was "Aqua Regia" and I was like, ape tu? Sounds familiar. Adakah ianya Royal Water? Yang macam dalam drama Korea Fugitive; Plan B tu?

Aqua regia or aqua regis is in Latin, which means royal water. It's a type of highly corrosive mixture of acids, fuming yellow or hot solution.

Sometimes we call it nitro-hydrochloric acid. Sama macam apa yang Rain cakap dalam sedutan drama Fugitive; Plan B tu, cara nak buat Royal Water tu ialah dengan mencampurkan satu bahagian acid nitrik dengan tiga bahagian acid hidroklorik.

But, persoalannya di sini, kenapa dinamakan Royal Water? The answer is simple bebeh. It is used to dissolve the so-called royal metals, or noble metals, gold and platinum. Nevertheless, there are some metals that cannot be dissolved by this mixture since they have higher resistance towards acid. Apa logam-logam tersebut? Ha, itu yang anda perlu cari sendiri. Google lah, apa lagi? Hihi.

Sape cakap tengok citer Korea buang masa? Tengok apa yang kita boleh pelajari dari drama Fugitive; Plan B ni. Kan bagus menda-menda macam nie kita tahu. Even bila kita tengok just for fun, at the same time we get to gain new knowledge that is essential for us, chemists. Banyak je menda lain yang boleh kita belajar daripada drama Korea ni. Apa yang baik jadikan teladan, yang buruk? Buang jauh-jauh masuk longkang, iye dop? It depends on us la sebenarnya. Tapi lau asyik tengok tak elok gak. Alamatnya tak siaplah kau punye assignment, thesis, mini projek yang bagai-bagai tu. Time management is important aight?

That's all for today. Gotta go now.

nota kaki: thanks for reading till the end. Kalau rajin silalah komen. Huhu.

BY THE WAY, FUGITIVE; PLAN B ROCKS! I LOIKE!!!!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

let's work it now

Demam thesis

Tajuk thesisku: The Effects of Different Chemical Activating Agents in the Synthesis and Characterizations of Activated Carbon using Coconut Shell

Today we went to the lab to do test run for the tube furnace. Why? We were asked to do so. Actually, we put two different samples, namely zeolite and carbon, simultaneously. Guess what happened? The released gas was quite whitish and its smell was so pungent! Ugh. Disgusting, I said. Then Mr Hassan said, "What's there to be disgusted of? It's your research though," Yes, indeed he really got the point. I really had no ill intention whatsoever but sure it was something really unpleasant for us to inhale the gas every time we work on our thesis.

The result; black and white powder

The workplace

p/s: the time has come for me to start my labworks, amidst those who had already started before me loooooooooooong time ago.

There comes a time when you get so gloomy out of sudden. You may not know what triggers such emotion to emerge. It just happens. You become baffled over your own mood swing. I'm in that kind of situation now. I just feel like curling up in the bed and wallow myself in this sadness. I feel like running away from the madness of this world. The world never gets satisfied of you. The world holds grudges against so many people, including me and you. It is such a cruel world we are in. The milieu makes us compete with each other. All we do day by day is just to impress people around us.That never makes us happy.

STEAMBOAT?? Waah~ *anticipation*

Today, we made a very sudden yet brilliant decision to have steamboat for dinner. This is the forth time we had our sumptuous/marvelous/exciting/nail-biting/mouth-watering (just add your own description okay) dinner at the very prominent steamboat eatery. Some may say, "Are you guys never tired of eating steamboat again and again and again??" well all we should say would be, "NO!". Simple right?

Actually the idea came from me (keke). This evening, around 6.30 p.m., when they were discussing on where to go for dinner, I suggested Hajah Maznah's Steamboat at MAEPS coz I like steamboat and so do my other housemates (oh yeah I'm so sure about this). We were very excited to have steamboat you know, even we had went there for so many times already.

You'll never get tired of eating steamboat at MAEPS coz it was so delicious and there are so many types of seafood you can choose from; fish, cuttlefish, prawns, crabs, mussels, cockles etc. Not only it provides seafood, it also has so many types of other side dishes like mushrooms, fish balls, seaweed, noodles, nasi beriani, nasi minyak, fried noodle, rojak buah, and so many others that you have to see yourself so that you will believe what I say dude. So what are you waiting for? Lets get started!

Happiness clearly sparks from their faces

Oh, just so you know, I was indulging in the sweetness and creaminess of chocolate chips-flavoured and mint-flavoured ice cream. They were freaking awesome and I just can't stop eating yaww. Try it and you will never forget the taste. Believe me peeps! *see how fast that hand moving*

My gf-cum-bfffff-cum-yeojachingu-cum-roomate *bagi yang annoyed and dengki kat kitorang tu, sila muntah sekarang* pffft

See that poor noodle in the plate? That was my fault. I took too much noodle until we didn't get to finish it all. It was so muaks! Pengajaran: Jangan tamak haloba. Membazir amalan syaitoon. Mujur tak kena caj sebab tak habiskan semua makanan-makanan tu (mi je kot yang tak berapa nak habis).

Please avert your eyes from this bajet-cutenye-ness!

Yeojachingu ngah makan eskrem. Jangan dekat!

Okay, time to pay.

Jom kita balik! (dah kenyang boleh la balik)

Kenyang perut suka hati, lain kali boleh la makan steamboat lagi. Yokk makan steamboat lagi yokk? *aku harap korang takkan muntah dengar aku sebut steamboat lagi pasnie*

I ate too much and I guess my stomach is suffering from the guilty pleasure. Well, at first I ate the very scorching seafood from the boiling pot. Then I ate the cold ice-cream *so refreshing*. After that, I sipped the hot teh tarik whose hotness flowed through my throat which eventually settled down in my belly. Next thing I did was gobbling another strips of hot noodles and slurping bowls of scorching tom yam soup. After that, I ate the freezing Ais Kacang taken by Izah. Then I continued another series of devouring the hot food from the boiling soup. The stomach must be very confused right? Yelah, mana taknya, sekejap sejuk, sekejap panas, then sejuk plak. Kesian perutku.

Oh dear tummy, this hungry mummy is very sorry for hurting you so much tonight. Don't throw any tantrums tomorrow okay? Don't go growling just like you did before. I really can't tolerate any diarrhea again. Sorry dear tummy. Love you. Mmuah! *rubbing the bulging tummy*

p/s: already ate 5 pills of ubat pelawas. hope to get well soon bebeyh.

ciao. i wanna sleep dude.

Today is such a wonderful day for there were two occasions celebrated. We went to DKU FPQS for the Dean's Award ceremony. Alhamdulillah, five of our batch got the award from our beloved dean of FST, Prof Jay. Congrats guys! One from our batch also got the Motivational Award. Congrats Ina!

The recipients and the plaques (from left Athirah, Jannah Rahman, Jannah Heaven, Dzilal Amir yeojachingu). Qadri went missing at this moment.

Colorful and wonderful peeps

Then we went to FST to join the jamuan raya. The atmosphere was filled with raya spirit. I like. Thumbs up! It even worth paying RM5 for such a feast yaw. What?? Cheap you say?? We got to eat a lot of food though. Yes, I admit that I ate too much. It was a mere guilty pleasure. I just can't help it. Hmm.

While waiting for Prof Jay to officiate the feast (tired and hungry) *growling sounds*

Hey roommate-cum-yeojachingu! Lets get camwhoring...

Oh, its too hot la today!

Sweet and lively peeps enjoying their soon-to-be-ended senior year in USIM *sudden melancholy*

Behold our innocent adolescence that will soon become a sweet and, hopefully, long lasting reminiscence

Hopefully we will keep being bonded to each other by a strong chemistry akin to that of HYDROGEN BOND; strong and rigid. It is UNBREAKABLE and IRREVERSIBLE

Our KAD RAYA which won the prize. Congrats to those who made it. Creative and at the same time hilarious. The girls are all looking serious in the photo but the boys? Their looks really make me laughed so hard! Good job though. Photoshop rocks!

Sweet~

We are HOUSEMATES for crying out loud! *onyonyonyo team*

Assalamualaikum..

Hi everyone! How's your raya? I bet most of us are still celebrating Eid since there would be about one week before Syawal leaves us with its fantastical scent of reminiscent memories. As for me and my beautiful bunch of happy friends, we went to the open houses of our lecturers in Nilai and Wangsa Maju. I must admit that the mood of raya was somewhat receding, but still the flicker of raya ambiance did fill the air with all those melancholic raya songs and various raya meals galore that you can choose from (and of course the view of people in their baju raya also added the value).

Actually we arrived at Dr Che Wan's house on Friday evening to help her in food preparations. We even got to stay at her homestay for free yaw! It was such a wonderful gathering, I must say, though not everybody was there for some reasons. Yeah, if we put it together, it was kind of fun to be having happy hours together, eating the delicious free foods while doing some relaxed chattering without having to think of lectures or classes. It is a nice view to see and to be part of. Not only that, Dr Che Wan was so nice to us. I presumed that she really loves cooking. She cooked pizza, cakes, and nasi dagang all by her own. I tell you what, her chocolate cake was freaking delicious! It tasted pretty much like those sold at bakeries. Wah, I seem to be craving for those tasty pieces of chocolate cake! Very tantalizing.

After fulling our belly in Dr Che Wan's house, we went to Dr Nik's open house at Wangsa Maju. If you ask me how to get there from Nilai, it's quite easy. Just buy a ticket to KL Sentral and pay RM9.80 (for the two-way ticket), board the train and alight at KL Sentral. Quickly buy a ticket to Sri Rampai and board the LRT. Soon enough you'll reach the station and just wait for someone very kind-hearted to fetch you. That someone is ATHIRAH! Hi Athirah, if you happen to read this post, I want to mewakili kawan-kawan to loudly shout TERIMA KASIH TIRAH!! for fetching us back and forth between station and Dr Nik's house. Jasamu tetap dikenang.

We left Dr Nik's house approximately at 5.30 p.m.. We boarded the train to Nilai from KL Sentral at about 6.15 p.m.. For me, it was somewhat tiring, maybe because we opt for the train to get there and since it was Saturday, there were so many people at the train station. I just exhaled in depression at the sight of the crowd thronging the place. It makes me having headache, seriously. Having to stand sturdily like a pole inside the train all the way from KL Sentral to Nilai whose journey spans for 1 hour and a half really gave me severe headache and foot cramp. What a spoiled lil brat, you may say to me, but that's the truth. Maybe I'm a 22-year-old gal, but with a body of 82-year-old woman. It's pathetic.

Okay, lets view some photos taken by various photographers...

At this moment, Qadri said something funny before he snapped
