post untuk reflect diri sendiri, sekian

u know how we pray to Allah? day and night..night and day. kita mintak macam-macam. consistent pulak tuh benda-benda yang kita mintak. bertahun-tahun kita mintak benda sama. mintak mintak mintak mintak mintak..tak segan pulak tuh. mintak banyak-banyak kali. sebab kita tahu, Allah suka kita mintak dengan Dia.

tp bila cermin balik diri..Ya Allah, macam-macam aku mintak..tapi apa yang Allah mintak? semua aku buat ke? berkualiti tak ibadah aku? ke kuantiti je lebih? Semua yang Allah larang..aku tak buat ke lagi aku buat jugak?

Pastuh, lepas kita mintak dengan Allah. Gigih kita mintak nih, sampai menangis-nangis mintak kat Allah. Mintak Allah makbulkan doa kita. Mintak Allah mudahkan jalan kita. Mintak Allah tunjuk kat kita. Betul ke Lelaki Bin Jejaka atau Perempuan binti Jejaka ni jodoh kita? Banyak sangatlah kita mintak. Tak tertulis apa yang kita mintak. Punya detail pulak tuh benda-benda yang kita mintak. Demand.

Tiba-tiba, satu hari Allah makbulkan doa kita. Masa tuh, belum tentu kita ingat Allah lagi. Kita sibuk raikan apa yang Allah makbulkan tuh. Dekan? Pergh! Agak dah. Confirm boleh buat. Senang je pun paper semua. Atau kita sibuk nangis teresak-esak. Sebab Allah tunjuk kat kita, yang Lelaki bin Jejaka tuh bukan pilihan terbaik. Susah pulak dah nak terima. Padahal kita yg mintak Allah tunjuk kat kita, betul ke mamat tuh yang terbaik. Allah tunjuklah! Ah sudah, frust menonggeng pulak. Dah 10 tahun bercinta, nak break camneeeeeee?!

Pause kejap boleh tak? Pause kejap. Stop lompat-lompat kejap. Stop nangis kejap. Jap Jap. Ek Minute.

Dengan dosa kita yang bertimbun-timbun. Allah tunjuk jugak dekat kita. Allah makbulkan jugak doa kita. Allah tunjuk jugak kat kita, sebab kita taktau. Kita nih satu hapak pun xtau. Allah punyalah sayang dekat kita, Dia tunjuk dekat kita. Mana satu betul, mana satu salah. Nak pilih mana satu? Up to us. Allah dah tunjuk, sekarang buat pilihan terbaik.

Syukur. Sebab Dia sayang sangat kat kita.

Kadang-kadang memang kita tak faham. Zero. Tapi siapa kita nak soal keputusan Allah? Kita banyak benda taktau. Allah Maha Mengetahui.

'..Boleh jadi kamu membenci sesuatu, padahal ia amat baik bagimu dan boleh jadi (pula) kamu menyukai sesuatu, padahal ia amat buruk bagimu,Allah mengetahui sedang kamu tidak mengetahui [2:216]

Bersyukurlah Allah ada dengan kita. Dia ada masa orang lain tiba-tiba hilang. Macam-macam option Dia bagi kat kita pulak tuh. Nak mintak something? Solat sunat hajat ada. Nak murah rezeki? Solat sunat dhuha kan ada. Confuse? xtau mana satu yg terbaik? Solat Sunat Istikarah pun ada. Semua adalah senang cerita. we're so freaking lucky.

Alhamdulillah.

Terima kasih Ya Allah. You opened my eyes. You love me so dearly =')

it's okay amalina, you'll meet the right one soon. InsyaAllah, Sabar okay =)

Assalamualaikum.

mood tak jadi masuk longkang.

i've been writing 4 to 5 paragraphs. then i read it back. gelak dua saat . delete. too emotional to be posted. too personal to be posted. too amalina to be posted.

i'll just put in pictures. *cari gmbaq terbaru sat*

went out with ifa and ima yesterday. finally had the guts to order korean food. good, but my tummy would have been happier if i had gone with nasi campur instead.

we had those creampuffs. mak ai, mahal kemain. but it was so gooooood. camne nak buat!? kena experiment with creampuffs la cmnih.

took pictures with ima's polaroid. i'm so tempted to get one. jangan amalina, jangan.

okay, nak sambung tgk kuch-kuch hota hai. shah rukh khan handsomeeeeeee kaaaan. nak yg version 25 tahun please, oh and version cakap melayu of course. eh kejap, but wouldn't it be romantic kalau laki tuh cakap hindustan je 24/7. haha. dengar je la die cakap ape kan, pastuh anguk-anguk and sengih-sengih.

aik aik, tadi kata takde mood amalina? terigt kuch kuch happy pulak dah. ngeee. okay, bye. assalamualaikum =)

seriously.....................

sometimes i feel so sad juga coz u dah berpunya?

-_-"

ke salah interpret lagu aa?

since i'm not sleepy yet, i'm gonna come up with a few more sentences here. this messy third person stuff. i know, i'm really not the right person to be talking about lovey dovey stuff. ye la, the only romantic relationship i have is with mohamad accounting kan.

just sharing my views on stuff.

if you're the third person to a relationship, i think of two possibilities.

1. you'll be the person who will make that other person realise how much they're in love with their bf/gf/wifey/hubby. you'll make that person appreciate the person they have. they'll regret having a fling with you but they'll thank you for opening their eyes.

2. 'if you love two person at one time, choose the second one. because if you really loved the first one, you wouldn't have fallen for the second one' - Johnny Depp

both possibilities will have hearts broken. love is messy. yucks. get it away from me. selamatmalam. assalamualaikum.

operasi malam

2012-02-01T05:30:00.000-08:00

assalamualaikum!

i was recently drooling over RC's latest post which was about homemade prosperity burgers.

me : koranggggggggggg!

harisudin & aqilah : .....?

me : did u guys know that we don't need to go to McD to eat burgerss! taw dak taw dak?

harisudin : what are you suggesting sister?

me : i can make themmmmmmmmmm!

harisudin & aqilah : adui -__-"

me : yeayyyyyyyy! i tgk diorang buat prosperity burger sendiri! according to the blog post, a prosperity burger has 4 components. The bun, beef patties, onions and black pepper sauce!

harisudin & aqilah : interesting -__-"

i could tell from their looks that they were quite terrified but i told them that everything was gonna be alright. i ended up making only the beef patties. i didn't have the guts to make the sauce nor the bun. i just didn't want to harm too much ingredients and one go. i don't want to be a serial killer..which kills food? -_-

i know, sloppy gila. but most importantly, edible!

the beef patties turned out fine. hentam je, as usual. i actually made them for supper. sebab ktrg 3 orang mmg kuat makan mlm. however, supper has been a tad bit risky these days since umi is now teaching the evening session. masa ajar pagi, confirm punya umi tidur awl. so ktrg dapat la mulakan operasi pencarian makanan dengan tenang.

semalam, ingat umi masuk tidur dah. all three of us crept downstairs. nak masak meatballs ye. ngee. tgh2 operasi,

umi : haaa! buat apa tuh? tak cukup makan lagi?

us : eh umiiiiiiii...heheheheheheheeheh.

amalina : aqilah lapaq, kesian kat die.

jahat gila guna aqilah as an excuse, but it was trueeeee. and aqilah is always the safest name to use. umi never gets mad when her name is mentioned.

oh, i started my driving lessons with baba last night. ngee. i forced myself and baba. i have to. it's the only way i'll learn again. kalau nak belajar siang2, kereta banyak sangat. so belajar lepas baba balik kerja, which is late. like after midnight late..

after the half an hour drive yesterday, all i want to say is..

1. how did i get my license? seriously? macam mana boleh lulus ntah

2. how on earth do you people drive and survive the road? hebatnya hebatnya.

3. how do you divide your vision?? cermin tengah kena tengok, cermin kiri kena tengok, cermin kanan kena tengok. eh, kena tgk depan lagi kan! camne tuh camne?

4. how do you know what position the tyre is??? tgk logo kat stereng? that doesn't always work!

5. how do you REALLY know how close your car is with other cars/objects on the road?

ish. payah payah. i think i have to get a really really really small car. kereta utk sorang je! ha, ada?

the 'so called cooking 'chronicles.

2012-01-29T08:43:00.000-08:00

assalamualaikum!

bahaha. yes, title tak boleh blah. nak letak amalina's cooking chronicles tak boleh. sbb i'm trying to cook. cooking tuh macam org tuh dah expert. it's like cooking is no big deal for that particular person. so, lagi 10 tahun baru tukaq tajuk naa.

last friday was umi's birthday, we got back from cameron that evening. alamak, tak cerita lagi pasal cameron. let me see if i can shorten it up..nak naik tuh..adui, serious nak termuntah. kadang2 jalan straight pun kepala boleh pusing..nih apatah lagi jalan nak pergi cameron tuh. lepas tu, mlm2 sejuk gilaaaaaaaaa. orang kata cameron dah tak sejuk mcm dulu kan? xtaw laa. i guess my body and the cold are just mortal enemies.

i was freezing at night. while everyone else was in their pajamas and socks.i was wearing a long sleeved shirt, two layers of sweaters and two layers of socks. i even attempted to sleep with two layers of blanket. but i didn't want to die suffocating. cameron was fun and all..tapi..bakal suami tak payah la nak bawak pergi honeymoon kat sana okay? okay. glad i cleared that up. kita pegi honeymoon tepi pantai je la. takpe la panas pun..sunblock ada. okay, lari topic.

back to the cooking attempt.

since it was umi's birthday. baba suggested that we cook for her. 'we' tuh maksudnya i had to lead la senang cerita. baba told me this during maghrib. mm, if anyone would want me to cook..they need to tell me at least a day earlier. seriously -_-". because i need time to digest that i'm gonna have to cook (and a few hours to google the recipe). for umi pulak tuh! fush. i had a slight panic attack. ngee. yes, cooking a that big of a deal. lagi2 superbibik tuh tak habis-habis tanya

'amalina mau buat apa? mau masak ka? boleh ka? '

eiiiiiiii. tensi tensi. i don't really communicate well with her..so i told baba that he should ask her to go upstairs and just relax (a.k.a leave amalina alone.)

i ended up cooking fish curry. haha. yes, i took the risk to cook umi's best dish. kari wey kari. the only reason i wanted to cook curry was because i've had some training with tok. lala

baba : okay, relax amalina...sekarang nak masak apa? baba tolong

amalina : kari la..

baba : ha..nak masak ape?? kari? okay..okay..(i think he was trying to calm himself down)

masa proses nak masak tuh..umi masuk dapur and almost got a heart attack after she looked at baba's culinary skills. haha. you know how tomatoes are usually cut into 6? baba cut them into 9/10/11 kot..and in various sizes. tak sempat nak supervise.

but we made it yaww. suruh harisudin tumbok sambal sikit..and walla! no fishes/tomatoes/lady fingers/halba campoq/garam/etc were injured during the process.

the decision.

*dup dap dup dap*

baba : so macam mana? okay amalina masak?

umi : mm..okay la..awk rasa mcm mana amalina?

me : ngee..something missing somewhere. (the only safe answer when u have no idea what's wrong)

umi : asam kurang..kalau masak banyak - banyak kali lagi okay la.

adui..yang banyak-banyak kali tuh yang x syok tuh ha. but i think it was okay sebab umi didn't say much. lala

todayy, i attempted something new. i got over baked macaroni, now it's time for *drum roll please* bread butter pudding! seperti biasalah..tak berapa jadi. biasalah, kalau teknik tak berapa nak betul..end product memang tak berapa nak memuaskan ye. cey cey.

i was looking at umi's recipe..tapi langkah2 takdak..ada ingredients je. i hantam je la. sheesh. takpe2, hasil agak okay. kalau tak dapat sambutan orang rumah..mm..tak kesah la dpt sambutan ke tak..i'll make sure they finish it up. muahaha.

p/s : omg hafiz menang. kaya dia mlm nih. dah la pakai tshirt dgn seluar trek jeeeeeee..tapi still memang lagu tuh deep sangat. well deserved.

goodnite =)

Packing is Uncool.

2012-01-24T06:17:00.000-08:00

assalamualaikum!

korang tgk lion dance tak semalam! we get to see it every year sebab jiran depan rumah memang buat every year. pagi2 dah bunyi dongdangdongdangggg dah (erm, bunyi mcm tuh ke?). it was impossible to sleep. if i slept through that, my parents would sign me up for a sleeping contest.

kalau tak tgk, tgk gmbar nih okay.

we're going to cameron highlands tomorrow, so umi asyik dok masak je. semalam we baked a chocolate cake. semua heart broken tak boleh makan byk2, sebab kata umi, kena simpan for the trip. lepas buat cake, buat rendang pulak. mak ai.

lepas jumpa zafia tadi, balik2 rumah tgk umi baru lepas buat scones.

me : scones utk esok aa umi?

umi : ha, awk buat garlic bread *giving me two french loafs*

me : ngee. okaay

me :*potong2, sapu2, susun2, balut2 and masuk oven! walla!*

umi : dah? okay, layur daun pisang nih.

me : la...what?

umi : layur daun pisang ni ha.

me : ngee. mcm mana tuh umi? mcm complicated je.

umi : ya Allah, layurkan atas api laaa. Mcm ni *demo demo*

me : owhh..okay. ngee. mm, nak buat apa nih umi? kita makan ats daun pisang ke mlm nih umi?

umi : takdak keja, nak buat lepat pisang la.

me : *mak aii. banyak betul mknan. but then teringat kat appetite ktrg. so...yeahh.* okay umi.

umi : nah, buat *demo demo*

siap dah semua! we're all set! but i haven't packed yet. tak suka packinggggg. i'm such a bad packer. aqilah and harisudin is bugging me to pack. diorang pack berzaman dah. bab packing nih, jadi bff terus budak dua org tuh ha. they LOVE packing. crazy ppl.

as i'm typing this, aqilah tgh unpack and pack balik barang-barang dia. she does that all the time. audit her baggage. baik la pack barang kakak dia kan. aish.

* background voices*

harisudin : kakak? what are you doinggggggggggggggggggg? bila nak pack? blablabala

me : busy.

aqilah : what is wrongggg with you sister? u don't seem busy at all. bblablablablabla

they bug me alllllll the time. they can't face the fact that i'm so coooooooool. mm, okay..maybe they just don't want me to borrow their stuff. the only thing i never forget to bring is my tooth brush. no way nak sharing tooth brush dgn drg, euw!

okay la, i think i should start packing dah..but i'm gonna pack very very slowly. just to irritate them. lala

byebye =)

A friend's engagement.

2012-01-23T05:25:00.000-08:00

assalamualaikum!

A sign that you're no longer 16 : A friend's engagement.

Oh yeah. Tapi kawan ni tua setahun. Setahun tuh big difference kan? Yeah. Kawan tempat praktikal yang bertunang. I was so excited because during those 7 months of internship, she gave me a walk through all her wedding plans.

Amalina, emas jatuh semalam..boleh la Nurul nak pergi survey cincin tunang and cincin nikah

Amalina, taw tak kat mana design cincin cantik2 sikit? Nak cari lain dari yang lain.

Amalina, hari tuh nurul pergi survey catering...Satu kepala dalam RM 8..okay kan?

Amalina, rasanya hantaran nak buat sendiri ke macam mana?

Amalina, nervous laaaaaaaa!

Amalina, nak beli cadar pengantin tak?

Lol. I really wanted to laugh like crazy masa dia tanya last question tuh haaaa. But she looked so sincere, memang dia baaaaaaaiiiiiiiiik sangat. soft spoken and everything nice. So i tried answering calmly (without inserting any tone of sarcasm)

Me : Mm, belum lagi kot nurul.

Nurul : Eh, Amalina pun nak kahwin kan x lama lagi?

Me : Hihihihihihih.Amalina budak2 lagi la Nurul. Mana boleh kahwin lagi. Calon pun takde. Xyah lagi kot cadar pengantin tuh haa. Hihihihhi *gelak sambil tutup mulut*

tahniah nurul, your fiancee is one lucky guy =)

Back at Home.

2012-01-17T02:21:00.000-08:00

assalamualaikum!

just came back from kedah yesterday. had to hop on the bus alone. 6 hours of loneliness. yucks.

tok had to cut down her outdoor activities such as 'round kawasan' during my stay with her. seriously, she's always out and about. my 87 year old grandmother just loves her morning and evening walks. she walks around from house to house with her hand behind her back asking her friends about the latest gossips and news. haha. macam YB pun ada. i would follow her closely, smiling all the way, seeing that she's so happy. the people there seems to love her. they call her Tok Ton. i noticed that she was enjoying my company. of course she loves it every time her grandchildren comes and visit. she introduced me to everyone. seriously.

'haa..ni cucu tok ton..anak rashid niii. besaq dah aih. dia dok cuti, dia mai la dok dengan tok dia sat'

i soon realize it's good conversations that keeps her energized. she talks about the past as if they were yesterday. she talks about my late grandfather daily. telling me how we grandchildren would've loved him to bits and pieces because he was such a great and kind man.

i had an amazing 10 days with tok. as much as i love being home, i still wish kedah and KL were just 30 minutes apart.

the only thing i don't miss about kedah is the mosquitoes. monsters i tell you, monsters! i wore socks and covered my self with blanket(s) sebab it's just so freaking cold at night. so the only skin available to the monsters were my face. parfait. i have monster bites everywhere. let me paint you a picture. i have a big one on my forehead, two beside my eyes, three on my cheeks and about 5 on my chin. there you go. the worst thing is they look like pimples. i might not being going out for a while -_-".

today i slowly started to clean up my room. new year routine. (kemas bilik setahun sekali ke camne amalina?)

umi realised that both me and aqilah have just too much junk. we label them as treasures not junk. so umi suggested we needed a compartment like this to hide them all up.

i re-arranged the so called treasures properly. yg semak tuh aqilah punya. sekian.

don't you just love compartments? tutup and pufff hilang dah barang banyak2 tuh ha.

tidied up my bed side table. kotak tuh dapat masa raya hari tuh. kotak dalam hamper or something. nobody seemed to be using it. so i decided to keep my accessories in it. ngehee.

after that part was done, i moved on to the closet and *tutup balik cepat cepat*. x sanggup nak rummage into the closet. how on earth do people colour coordinate their clothes? i can't even stack them up. ishh.

so the cleaning stops at the closet and will continue sometime in the future.

amazing amalina.

2012-01-05T03:36:00.000-08:00

assalamualaikum,

today i destroyed

1) a few packets of macaroni

2) minced meat

3) sausages

4) 5 eggs

5) 1.5 tomatoes

6) my 3 hours

7) miscellaneous

but fret not! not much salt and serbuk kari were harmed during the attempt.

yes, i am amazing. the amazing amalina! i really don't know what is my problem with salt. my tongue's functionality seems to differ from others. which is bad. if i was to enter any food challenge. My plate would be the first one flying to the floor/out the door.

my critics, as usual.

harisudin : sister, please please please give up on baked macaroni. move on sister.

aqilah : bukan dah banyak kali buat ke? tak jadi-jadi pun!

umi : letak serbuk kari ke tak nihhh? Garam letakk banyak mana?

of course i had to defend myself,

me : sedap je rasa, cukup je semuaa. Yummeh!

brother/sister/mother : -___-""

it's been 3 attempts, so i think i should make my siblings happy by giving it up. no more baked macaroni! taknak dah! kite putus skrg! putus.

i think i should start packing my stuff now. i should balik kampung and stay with my grandmother until she inserts some cooking senses into me.

p/s : ramai tgh google amalina 1*A ye? pastuh ada yg direct masuk blog nih kan. sbb tiba-tiba view meningkat secara mendadak. tgk2 drg google nama amalina. pasti amalina-amalina lain juga turut terkena tempias. sorry people, silap orang naaa. sorry to let you down. nih amalina rashid. saya tak amik medic, saya amik accounting ja. saya masa SPM dulu takde berbelas belas A. Haih, i know its a hot issue and all. No matter what the situation is, we as Muslims shouldn't be judging her. Leave that to Him. Kita siapa nak pikir bukan-bukan? Hebat ke kita? Xde buat salah silap ke kita nih?

But, as Muslims we should advise our brothers and sisters. We should take care of each other. Honestly saying, I think she's doing great in her studies over there. She's a big girl and she's smart too. InsyaAllah, she accept advises that will make her a better Muslim. I hope those rotten comments doesn't let her spirits down. Good Luck =)

p/s/s : seriously, nak balik kampung esok. till later

23 bukan 16.

2012-01-03T02:51:00.000-08:00

assalamualaikum,

i need to sum up my 2011, regardless of how late it is. 2011 has been better than 2010. i recall saying that if i was given a chance to repeat any year, i would never choose 2010.

1. alhamdullilah, i passed my semester 5 and completed my 6 months internship. making me a semester closer to my sijil nikah with mohamad accounting.

2. the internship was actually my first job. yeah, orang lain first kerja lepas SPM. amalina first kerja masa 22. terbaik.

3. remained sober from caffeine. seriously! i no longer drink 2 cups of nescafe everyday. i only take it once in a while. just because i would like to have a cup of it, not because i was addicted to it.

4. achieved a weight that i've been aiming for so long. it lasted only for a few months..but i'm still going to consider that as an achievement.

5. i made a few though decisions. i need to keep learning on how to decide on my own. i'm a big girl already.

6. finally did something that i've putting off for so long. tlg la jangan tangguh dah amalina. sometimes i do so hoping that by stalling, problems would go away. i then discover that when u stall, problems grow bigger instead of disappearing.

i guess that was about it. i can't think of other significant events that needs a number.

2011 was a nice friend. seriously, 2011 told me about her brother. her headstrong and though brother, 2012. i'm scared to face 2012. because it somehow seems like the year that i need to grow up. know that feeling? that feeling that something is going to happen, whether you like it or not? yeah, this year i have to grow up people. tsk, takut.

i didn't write down my resolutions this year. other than not finding the perfect notebook to write them in, i also think that it's no longer necessary. at least not for this year. i know what i want this year. i know what i need to do this year. i think about it all the time. i don't need to be reminded.

all in all, i just want to be better. from every angle. oh wait, don't we all eyy?

good luck for 2012 everyone =)

we went to cherating for the new year. that new year's morning, we went down for a walk on the beach.

as we were walking back to the hotel, baba scribbled down on the sands.. our new ages for that day.

baba - 50,

umi - 48,

amalina - 23,

harisudin - 20,

aqilah - 13.

dua puluh tiga dah weyy! bukan 16, tapi 23. goodluck everyone, have a splendorous 2012. insyaAllah.

assalamualaikum!

2012-01-02T09:08:00.000-08:00

assalamualaikum!

i know it's already 2012 and i didn't have time to post about 2011. sheesh. tak sempat tak sempat. so, let's close our eyes, and imagine that it's 30th Dec 2011. okay? okay, boleh bukak mata dan teruskan membaca.

30/12/11

it's been such a hectic week because we were planning aqilah's birthday party. came up with the idea around a month ago, but only executed the plan that very week. we thought we were superheros. teet. salah rupanya. other things seemed to pop op, making very little time for us to prepare for her birthday.

her birthday was also my last day as an intern! oh yeah, tsk, talk about that later.

alhmdllh, even though everyone were superbusyy instead of superheros, the party went well. here's some pictures from aqilah's partyyy,

okay, gambar tak banyak sebab tuan rumah sibuk layan tetamu. besar dah aqilah, tapi tak jauh beza pun dengan kakak die. lalalala. haip. dah amalina, azam tahun baru -terima umur seadanya.

aqilah, being the youngest child..many would think that she's all pampered. manja. salah. she is such a rebellious girl. she has her own principles. yeah i know, at 13.. principles seem to be a major word. but yes, she has her own stand. she doesn't care what people think. in a good way. dia xde malu2, segan2, cover, xde2. pening kepala kadang2 layan die nih.

aqilah started completing her prayers at an early age, much earlier than her brother and sister. she wakes me up for subuh. she's usually the one who wakes me up for subuh since her alarm seems to be earlier than mine. ngee. kakak apekah? ada this one time, masa tuh she was 10/11 years old..die bangunkan subuh..pastu die kelam kabut solat semua. igtkan nak pukul tujuh pagi dah. so i rushed to take wudhu and prayed, without bothering to look at the clock. habis2 solat, tgk jam baru pukul 5 pagii. pergh

me : aqilah!! tak masuk waktu lagi laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

aqilah : dah pukul 6 dah la.

me : subuh2 nih nak kena ketuk ke hah? pukul 5 baru.

aqilah : hehehehe...alarm clock i terbunyi kot.

me : alarm clock u mmg sentiase dok bunyi!

mcm2 betul makcik nih. goodluck on your first day at taman tun sister. have fun having umi around at school! haha.

goodnite everyone, assalamualaikum.

p/s : esok cerita pasal 31/12/2011 pulak okay

breaking and tripping

2011-12-26T03:29:00.000-08:00

assalamualaikum,

my moods are going crazy these few days. sat naik, sat turun. sheesh. one moment i'm so energetic like i've eaten a whole candy shop. and another moment i'm so weak like i've just gotten a major surgery where sufficient rest is needed. i all of the sudden have a lot on my mind. i like to keep my mind empty on weekends. but noo, it just had to get busy these few days.

bad day yaw. woke up today and felt thin. looked at the mirror. brushed it off. you don't loose weight over night..do you? took my breakfast, and went to the weighing scale. i lost 2 kilos. gila apa? betul2 kan jarum tuh, still 2 kilos lost. this is so not good. ate lunch, went to the scale again. still 2 kilos less. you have no idea how much i eat. i eat a lot. if you say i'm not eating healthy, you're dead wrong. because umi makes sure we eat good food. so while i'm home, it's impossible to NOT eat healthy. i'm even taking vitamins, as i was told to.

today felt 2 kilos lesser. and 2 kilos further away from my dream weight. the only thing i have been doing today is being a sloth on the sofa. watching drop dead diva, which is on marathon. parfait.

i was making tea just now, and only realised after a few seconds that i was pouring hot water on my fingers instead of into the mug. i was attempting to make arabic tea, so i put in some buah pelaga. then, i dropped the bottle. pecah, and buah pelaga was everywhere in the kitchen. oh yeah.

i hope i don't break anything again today. oh, i hope i don't trip too. not in the mood for breaking and tripping.

bye,

assalamualaikum.

I've been proposed & I'm engaged.

2011-12-19T08:19:00.000-08:00

eh tak tak, belum lagi. pls jangan putus harapan lagi. jangan jangan. anda masih ada peluang. lala. orang lain yang dipinang, orang lain yang bertunang. haha. i bet all you girls have watched this kan! bab2 nih, laju je kita kan?

Nak satu please? Masa umur i 25 nanti mai jumpa umi dgn baba i naa. Nak letak video dalam camera ke, laptop ke, ataupun flat screen tv yg sangkut dekat dinding tuh terus pun okay. I okay je mana-mana pun. Nak tulis surat pos sendiri pun tak pe. Terima seadanya. Tp jangan merokok okay. I allergic. Kalau merokok, ada 3 tahun nak stop ye (umur sebenar terpaksa dipaparkan dalam hal ini)

goodnite, assalamualaikum.

dragaboo.

2011-12-17T09:44:00.000-08:00

dragaboo died today. my fish. i bought him on 25th September. my birthday present to myself. ikan laga, electric blue. i love all shades of blue..especially electric blue. it's so cool. now it's dead ='(

everyone in the house keeps calling him gebu. dragabooooooo la. we went out for the whole day today. the first thing i do when i go into my room is call him out.

'dragaaaaaboooooooooo!'

serious taknak bela pape daaah. i'm such a bad person. i wonder what went wrong. did i feed him too much? ikan laga x boleh makan banyak-banyak kan. i think so. bukan ape, some times he goes crazy in the middle of the night taw. i put in purple pink plastic stones inside his bowl. he makes this load noises at night taw tak. die macam hit those stones to the bowl. mmg die marah taw. i was like..die nih kenapa, merajuk ke. i know he's an ikan laga and all. but he's electric blue in color! he's suppose to be cool. when he's mad, i go to him and call him out.

'dragabooo? are you okaaaay? everything is going to be fine dragaboo'

i always say that to him. i really don't know why. my brother and sister says i'm crazy. pastu die diam and acts all cool and macho. siap taknak tgk my face. igt die lapar..so i fed him laa. tu pun siikiit je.

i knew there was something wrong yesterday. he was so quiet. it looked like he was cold. he was only staying at one spot. before and after i went back at work. tempat sama! i was so worried.

'dragabooooooo! kenapaaaaaa niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! whats wrong dragabooooooooooooooooo?'

'his name is dragaboo, that's whats wrong'- aqilah menyampuk.

i didn't even talk to him today sebab kelam kabut sangat pagi td. sedihnya sedihnyaaaaaaaa. balik rumah tgk die dah takde dah. this is sad. i never want a pet anymore. kepada bakal suami yg ntah siapa, i don't want a pet. don't get all romantic and get me a pet. tgk yg mcm cerita korea tuh kan. i keep one rabbit, u keep one rabbit. tak payaah nak gedik! I DON'T WANT A PET. taknak.

bye dragaboo.

assalamualaikum and goodnite.

Lire un Livre

2011-12-14T07:59:00.000-08:00

assalamualaikum!

(19 more days, balik la cepat )

i realised that i haven't been reading much lately. I've only been reading audit reports, blog posts, pages of Quran, baba's weekly column, and newspaper headlines. Yes, headline je..isi tak baca. *tutup muka dgn bantal*

Last week we went to the MPH book fair. No books were bought by me. I know, you would think after realising how little i'm reading, i'd take full advantage of the book fair. Nope, i only bought a RM 5 health magazine. Yes, health magazine. Pftt?

There were just toooooooooo many books! Nervous tengok buku banyak-banyak. -_-" Okay tipu, i already bought a book so i didn't want to waste. Mm. But buying books are never a wasteeeeeeeeeeee kan? Argh. Too late.

But no worries, everybody else did their part. I'll just grab their books. Sharing is caring. xoxo.

So this is my plan to make up for all those lost readings. I'll put a book/magazine at my favourite spots in the house in the hopes that every time i sit at those places, i'll manage to read a few pages from each of those materials.

1. Tepi katil : Tafsir Al-Quran. Ni letak tempat paling favorite!

2. Tepi laptop : Smart Heart by Rusdin S. Rauf and the health magazine i bought. health yaw. but it's so much fun! seriouslyyy. i think it's way cooler than Cleo.

3. Depan tv : The Love Verb by Jane Green

4. Living room : I spotted baba's book. The Meaning of Everything by Simon Winchester. Sikit-sikit selak dictionary. Adui. Leceh.

5. Dining area : A 2008 edition of National Geographic. Dok belek tengok gambarrr je lebih.

Chewah. Merata-rata letak buku. Boleh ke nak baca semua tuh ha? A few pages of each will do.

Bon Chance amalina!

Me and My Girlfriend (Roll 4)

2011-12-07T05:37:00.001-08:00

assalamualaikum!

me and my girlfriend passed the 1 year phase last october! oh yeaaah! tapi dia nih high maintenance laaaa. i think she's out of my league. i really don't know why she's still being faithful to me. while i'm on the verge of finding someone else. i mean, of course i'll keep her! i'm so not letting her go. i'm just thinking of getting a camera that uses 35mm film instead of her 120mm.

she only produces 16 pictures okay, high class sangat gf aku nihh. if i get a 35mm camera, that other girl can produce 36 pictures. which is good for me, since i'm still new and i need a lot of practice. omg, jangan bgtaw diana. kang kecewa punya pasal, dia terjun dari shelf kang!

i'm just thinking la. maybe i should get a cheaper girl. haha. okay, that sounded wrong. tengok la macam mana. it's just so hard to cheat on your first love. okay, maybe it's not cheating. maybe it's called preparing to be better so that i don't waste her films. yes,exactly that.

i love you sayaaaang! even though my umi doesn't seem to understand our relationship.

umi : mana gambaq camera awak? tak penah tgk pun?

umi : mana effect dia? tak nampak pun?

umi : tuh gambaq apa? awat jadi lagu tuh? x clear pun?

me : ye laaaaaa, amalina kan tak pandai tangkap lagi....-_-"

sad thoughts, happy thoughts

2011-12-06T06:06:00.001-08:00

i realised lately that everytime i go to work, my bag is heavy. when i walk back home, it's no longer heavy. ringan pulak! sometimes i check my bag to see whether my stuffs are all there. umbrella, purse and phone. Aik, ada je semua. Pelik sangat okay. Bukan rasa ringan sikit, rasa ringan macam bag kosong taw.

Is it psychology? I mean, ye laa...bila nak pergi kerja, nak kena rush ( by rush, i mean jalan laju-laju), pastuh dah ingat kerja kat ofis kan. Bila nak balik, syok laaaaaa. Dah tak ingat kerja-kerja semua. Just happy happy thoughts Carefree je jalan. Siap rasa macam nak terbang balik rumah. Lalala.

I also remember watching an episod of Dr Muhaya's shows. She called a girl out of the audience to demonstrate something. She asked the girl to put one of her arms out and gave her a bag to hold. So while the girl was just standing there with the bag, Dr Muhaya asked her to think of sad thoughts. Then Dr Muhaya pushed her hand down . She did it easily. Jatuh macam tuh je..macam bag yang budak tuh pegang berat. Padahal bag tuh kosong. Lepas tuh, think of happy thoughts pulak. This time Dr Muhaya had to put in some strength to push the girl's hand. Kuat pulak tangan dia, bukan lemah macam tadi.

Magic kaan! Ngee. I guess when your mind is cluttered with negativity, everything seems heavy and impossible. Tu susah, ni susah, semua susah! But when your mind is carefree and filled with positiveness, everything now becomes easy peasy lemon squesy!

oleh itu, sila lah positive selalu amalina. please don't think too much. kalau benda tuh remeh je, let it be that way. jangan jadikan benda kecik yang remeh temeh tuh benda besar yang sangat complicated. it's gonna make me look 22. we wouldn't want that, would we?

Goodnight and Assalamualaikum =)

redha tuh ikhlas, pasrah tuh menyerah

2011-12-03T09:05:00.001-08:00

assalamualaikum!

ngee. i feel good! tenenene. maybe it's because i took a leave yesterday? okay, my internship was suppose to be over on 30/11/2011. but nooooooooooooooo, i had to be all romantic and lovey dovey with mohamad accounting that i extended my internship. nak cutiiiiiiii jugak! i want a long holiday! i don't want to follow this routine anymore. i want my 8.30 to 5.30 to be free. i want it to be mine, all mine. i don't want to pace back and forth thinking of reasons to give to the boss. okay, sabar amalina. just till the end of the year. dear december, you're sexy and all but can you go by a lil bit faster? i know it's too much to ask when you're only just here. i was actually going to extend till february but then, myself was telling myself that i'm going to work forever later on in life. having a long holiday is a big deal. take it up, and enjoy it. sampai hujung tahun je la nampaknya. (yesssssssssssssss!)

yesterday i met up with my uitm girlfriends. ima and ifa! naik komuter, berkualiti sangat hidup pagi2. took me two hours to get to shah alam. i was in the ladies coach, masa tuh dah sesak sangat and all of the sudden two men wanted to come in. somehow, everyone near the door said with a rhythm, "LADIES ONLY". haha..it was so cool! i mean, macam iklan tv okay.

went to uitm to pass up our log books. then we went to ifa's new house. syok sangat! bilik dia mcm showroom ikea. i went hyper when i saw her room. best sangat tak boleh duduk diam. ni yang semangat nak make over bilik nih! next stop was sunway, ombak rindu yawww! syok sangaat! suka suka suka. i haven't really read novels since matrix, but i did read ombak rindu when i was originally 16. it was funny and sad. lawak tuh bukan apa taw, lawak sebab banyak awkward moments. you know those times where the whole cinema was somehow connected? ala, macam tengok movie dengan people kita kenal punya feeling tuh. sorang gelak, semua gelak. yelaaa, ayat bukan main jiwang, memang la rasa lawak. i was laughing and crying at the same time. aaron aziz nangis kot! i xley tgk dia nangis, i nangis sekali. LALA

okay. since semua benda syokkk. i told harisudin that i wanted to go back with him since his college is in sunway. so i waited for him sebab dia kata half and hour ja. he was at the printing shop..dari pukul 5 kot dia tunggu turn. masa tuh dah pukul 8..so dia ajak dinner dulu. sekali pergi balik kedai tuh..tak sampai lagi turn dia. i had to wait la ceritanya. tengok budak2 nih buat kerja drg. bukan main2 punya printing. sekali nak print..edit berjam-jam. taw tak balik kul berapa semalam? pukul 5 pagi. yes. 5 pagi. syok sangat. i really didn't mind. you know when amalina surihani said in ombak rindu - 'redha itu ikhlas..pasrah itu menyerah'. waiting from 9 pm to 1am was the redha phase. waiting from 1am to 5am was the pasrah phase.

today i woke up at 1 pm. seriously, paling lambat dalam history. penat sangat, dah la i started my day earlyy. 7 solid hours of sleep. memang tidur mati la..i usually have dreams every single day. yesterday tak mimpi apa pun!

my saturday seems to be runnning away so fast and furious today. tapi sempat jugak tengok breaking dawn. (we call it bukak puasa). tgk wayang dua hari berturut! kemain amalina. hari isnin nanti..ha..tgk laa. kerja berlungguk!

oh man, i think i got carried away. panjang mana dah nih. okay okay, selamat malam!

assalamualaikum =)

Tok umi : nak dekat maghrib dah nih amalina. awak dah ready dak nih?

Amalina : ready nak buat apa tok umi? nak pi jalan2 ka? nak pi mana gelap2 nih..takutla..kita dok sini je la...

Tok umi : dak la, tak pi mana-mana pun. tapi, kita semua nak kena hantaq report card dah nih.

Amalina : *blurrrrrrrrrrrrrr*

Tok umi : magrib nanti, masuk tahun baru, so kita kena hantaq la report card kita yg tahun nih punya.

Amalina : mana ada tahun baru lagi tok umi nihhh. tahun baru bukan januari ke? amalina taw la.

Tok umi : ye la, tapi nih tahun baru ikut calendar Islam punya. Bukan januari, Muharram.

Amalina : ohh..nak kena hantaq report card dah aa? eh, amalina tak pernah tgk pun report card nih.

Tok umi : ha la, kena hantaq la..tok umi punya report card pun kena hantaq sekali. Allah nak tengok perangai kita semua macam mana tahun nih. Mmg la kita semua tak boleh tgk report card tuh. Malaikat kiri kanan kita yang catit apa kita dok buat. Apa-apa yang awak buat..semuaa masuk buku tuh. Baik buruk semua depa tulis.

Amalina : *diam kejap.takut* Kalau amalina naughty mcm mana tok umi..

Tok umi: Tak pa aihhh..kan kita nak hantaq report card dah ni. Nnt Allah bagi kita report card baru punya. Awk kena berazam jd anak yang lebih baik. Jd manusia yang lebih bagus..ha..biaq tahun baru nih, awk dapat A dengan star banyak2!

Amalina : heheh..okay tok mi =)

This, is the exact explanation i'm going to give my children one day =)

Let us all be better beings. Good luck for this year everybody. Salam Awal Muharram. Assalamualaikum. Dapat star banyak-banyak okay tahun nih!

butter feet

2011-11-24T07:16:00.001-08:00

i am sometimes amazed of how clumsy i am.always prone to injuries. i do not need help from others to obtain these so called injuries. i have the ability to do it on my own.

1. while exercising

okay fine, i wasn't really exercising. i was just bugging harisudin. here i was trying to catch him ( trying to prove to him how fasttttt i was). i was so focused on him..so i didn't realise that i was heading towards the wall. BUT i did notice that my left feet kicked my right feet and *kedebushh*. i hit the wall and fell. obtained a few bruises. i call these bruises..sport injuries. betul la kan? cedera sewaktuh bersukan.

then there was this other time. i was still chasing harisudin in this situation. i was chasing but he wasn't running. okay, cam ne tuh? tapi betul la. die tak sempat nak lari lg pun. i fell, hit my knee on the floor. real hard. pergh, yg nih serious sakit. obtained purplish blue bruises on the next day. xde orang tolak pun boleh jatuh. magical.

2. while going up the stairs

i stumbled down the stairs three times last weekend. amazing. satu tuh, i was going up the stairs with a bowl of hot porridge. tripped on my skirt and fell. don't worry, the porridge was saved. in my attempts to save the porridge, eh jap. nak save mangkuk tuh actually. bubur tumpah xpa, boleh clean up. mangkuk umi pecah, boleh tampal balik? x boleh. okay smbung balik, in my attempts to save the BOWL, i bruised both of my elbows and knees-again. lalala. hebat amalina.

3. while walking

i don't understand why people need heels to trip. i can do it bare feet. without any help from sandals/flats/heels. amazing. tengah2 jalan dalam rumah pun boleh jatuh. tengah2 jalan pakai flat dlm keadaan cuaca yg elok dan jalan yg rata pun nak terjatuh. imagine me with heels. disaster.

hrp2 post nih xde menyebabkan mana-mana bakal suami cancel niat suci murni. sekian, assalamualaikum.

penat ni, penat.

2011-11-21T08:15:00.001-08:00

mm, esok kerja ke? tak cuti is it? uish. takkan tak dapat cuti sehari. penat nih main bola beratus minit nihhh. weekend pergi lawan chelsea, lepas tuh pergi kerja, lepas tuh fly pergi lawan indonesia pulak. rabu nih nak kena lawan syria pulak wey. pergh, i think i deserve a day off. nak recover dari injury2 semua. saya perlukan rehat yang secukupnya.

mm, okay. esok kerja. pergi tidur semua. yang ada assignment/kuiz/text x payah tidur. korang stay up okay.

good night and congratulations malaysia

visits to the dentist.

2011-11-18T23:03:00.001-08:00

assalamualaikum!

dentist visit number 1.

the last time i went to the dentist was years and years ago.

dentist : haaaa, datang pun. asyik jumpa adik2 dgn ayah die je. ni datang nak buat apa nih.
me : ngee..braces.
dentist : betul ke?
me : betul betul betul.
dentist : (lepas check sana sini) okay, kita amik acuan gigi awak dulu.

while i was busy closing my eyes, he stuffed the mold inside my mouth and asked me to bite hard.

dentist : ni pejam mata kenapa? takut ke?
me : (seriously? you just stuffed me and expecting me to answer?) *angguk2*
dentist : takut apaaaa, adik yang kecik tuh pun x takut.
me : (eh, ni lama mana kena gigit mold nih. i can't breatheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. okay, maybe i'm going to suffocate and die. maybe he pushed the mold too deep. oh no, this is bad)

i didn't die because he eventually took out the mold. and i didn't know what to do next. scraps of the mold was still inside my mouth.

dentist : (busy scribbling down notes)okay, nanti kita jumpa next time. tapi lambat lagi baru boleh pakai braces, kena tampal dulu, scaling, and cabut gigi.
me : (cabut gigi ni yg buat nak cabut lari ni)

i said thank you and was heading to the door already.

nurse : ehhhh, awak nak pergi mana? kumur mulut dulu laaaaa. xkkan nak keluar macam tuh!
me : (glanced into the mirror and saw scraps of the mold all over my mouth. malu gila. pastuh baru sedar, die dah sediakan cawan untuk kumur) eh eh, lupa pulak. ngee. *gurgle gurgle*. okay dah, terima kasihhh.

dentist visit number 2

dentist : hari nih kita nak buat apa?
me : (how am i suppose to know, you're the dentist) apa-apa yg patut buat la, hehehehe.
dentist : okay, hari ni kita tampal and cabut gigi.

takut yg teramat okay.

me : cabut 1 gigi ke?
dentist : nope, 3 gigi.
me : o..k..a..y...

i closed my eyes all the way. horror sangat. the pain lasted for two days.

dentist visit number 3

i was in the waiting room.

nurse : awak sorang je?
me : ha'ah,sorang je
nurse : abang awak mana?
me : ( i wish harisudin was here to listen to this.) oh..die ade class pulak hari nih.

masuk bilik dentist pulak.

dentist : aik? abang awak mana.
me : (i'm so loving this) adik ada class ari nih..
dentist : laaaaa...awak kakak ke?
me : (LALA) hehe..ye la, saya sulung.
dentist : tua dah la camtuh
me : -__-"
dentist : okay, hari nih kita tampal and cuci je. nanti kena cabut 2 lagi gigi.
me : (cabut semua la nak tak?) okay =)

i managed to open my eyes this time.

dentist : okay, next time jumpa, kena pasang dah. lepas tuh baru kita cabut.
me : okay =)

dentist visit number 4

xtaw nak senyum macam manaaaaaaaa. tutup mulut pun nampak mcm ape tah. tsk. masa pakai tuh tak sakit. siap boleh makan nasi lagi malam tuh. bangun-bangun pagi tuh, pergh. berdenyut-denyut gigi, gusi serta kepala. makan x boleh dah. boleh telan bubur je. berapa gelas milo dah telan. lapaq okay, lapaq. sekarang la baru nak terbayang makanan yang mencabar gigi. pizza, big mac, lamb chop, ayam goreng syok punya, apple, jagung..okay dah amalina. merepek sangat perangai. cuba pikir orang kat bosnia yang x makan tuh. fuh.

okayy, nak pegi buat milo lagi. bye2

*harisudin decided to make over my blog. TERIMA KASIH BROTHER! nanti birthday you, i suruh umi beli sweater tuh okay. *

brother to let go, interested?

2011-11-14T03:58:00.001-08:00

assalamualaikum!

chewah, semalam update, hari nih update lagi. terasa berdisiplin sangat. hari nih punya update hanyalah untuk membuktikan bahawa saya seorang kakak yg ~~hip lagi cool, baik lagi comel, bertanggungjawab lagi berwibawa.~~

aish, kakak yg menyokong adiknye 1000% je la senang cakap. x reti la nak puji2 diri sendiri nih. lala.

nak promote adik tercinta la nih. haip! bukan promosi untuk jadikan dia boyfriend sesiapa. xdaknye nak offer adinda jejaka ku yg seorang okay. kalau tak lagi hebat dari kakak dia, korang x pyh la nak amik number utk interview pun! alamat ramai la yg dtg interview kalau nak yg lagi hebat dari kakak dia kan.

harisudin nih memang rajin lukis orang. lagi2 orang lawa2. tp x berapa nak faham sangat kenapa dia x lukis kakak ni lagi. pelik kan? mungkin terlampau mencabar? tu la kan, takpe, kita kena fhm..artist2 nih ada limit dia. kan brother ( BILA NAK LUKIS IIIIIII!!!!!!!)

dia ada lukis untuk Yuna hari tuh. My cousin Angah pulak ada event dgn Yuna, so she passed it to Yuna lah. She said Yuna was so excited with it. Kalau die excited, harisudin lagi excited, kalau harisudin excited, kakak/adik/umi/baba dia lagi excited. Ada Yuna letak kat twitter die. Post as fan art.

yuna's twitter

sebelum tuh, dia lukis Jezmine Zaidan. Since she loved the artwork so much, we decided to drop by her store and give it to her. Baiiiiiiik sangat Jezmine nih, she's so nice and prettyyy and cuteee and stylish. Tak sombong langsung! She took pictures with harisudin, pastuh siap ajak kakak dia ni masuk sekali. memang TAK la kakak dia nih nak masuk. dah la selekeh gila dgn selipar jepun segala, nak suruh tangkap gmbr dgn dia. lain kali lain kali. ngee.

alhamdullilah lepas jezmine post pasal artwork nih, harisudin dapat plak order. They wanted it for their wedding. Oleh itu, bakal suami yg ntah la siapa, nnt order kat adik i okay. Suruh dia lukis gmbar i. Gambar u x perlu. Pastu nanti kita letak kat sana sini dalam kenduri tu okay? Okay thanks.

nak tengok lagi artwork dia, boleh pergi bilik dia. tp kalau xnak adventure sangat cari bawah katil la, belakang almari la, tepi meja la, boleh pergi blog dia je. Venom Fame. Ntah la kenapa nama huduh cmtuh, orang terlebih seni memang camni. lala

p/s : okay brother, i rasa you boleh start cabaran lukis muka i skang.

before the expiry date

2011-11-12T19:11:00.001-08:00

Assalamualaikum!!

Okay, Wow, it's 13 November already.Time is so fast these days, that its scary. The end seems to be just around the corner. We should cherish each single moment we have, since time is obviously running out very fast. I've been wanting to post so many stories but I just couldn't find the time to do so.

Soooo, I'm going to post about Aidil Adha before it reaches it's expiry date. Aidil Adha was good this year despite not going back to Kedah. We don't normally go back on Aidil Adha.

We wanted to take pictures, but then nobody to take them. Last resort, we crowned superbibik as our photographer for the day. Mak aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, satu gambar ada dalam 5 minit kot. She was like 'gimanaaa nih? senget nihhh, gimana nihhh, ngak buleh tangkap iniii'. Waduh, tukang tgkp gmbr nih pun.

just a simple breakfast after prayers

teh tarik kalau xde, mmg baba merajuk.

tgk, nampak x betapa sengetnye superbibik tgkp? saja xnak crop, nak tunjuk bakat die.

okay, lepas tgkp gmbr. tukaq uniform and masak briyani ayam!

the next day we went to my cousin's engagement.

umi's big bro

my cousin's fiancee

okay dah, till later yg xtaw bila, byebye =)

my love life

2011-11-04T03:32:00.000-07:00

assalamualaikum,

i think you know a little about my love life. how rocky it has been. oh wait, it's been rocky since day 1. this relationship actually started since form 4. (it hasn't been that long since i'm still 16 kan? lala) i hated him with all my guts. you know what they say..jgn benci2 sangat, sangkut kang. mmg sangkut wey.

i didn't even bother to take him seriously. he irritated me like crazy and i irritated him more. everyone else liked him. pfft. serious die ingat die cool la kan? but i reminded him, no matter how much love he was receiving, i will always be there to hate him. deep kan?

after spm, we didn't see each other for months. i obviously forgot about him without even trying. then the day came. result day. like it or not..we had to meet up. see eye to eye. and there he was,

Prinsip Perakaunan 3B.

eh? lulus? shocked to see how nice he was compared to those other exams. i of course thanked Allah for this. it wasn't an A, but i couldn't care less because that was the end of us. i'm just thankful he ended 'us' in a good way. 0-0

then the unthinkable happened.somehow, my parents got attached to him. they liked him. they asked me to keep the relationship going. i told them repeatedly that they do not even know him. buckets of tears were wasted. biasa lah, arranged marriage, tak hensem plak tuh kan. maybe he cried too, because when we met up in penang matriculation, he wasn't really welcoming. tak pandang pun okay. i was the one with all the efforts. rasa mcm perigi cari timba sangat.

time went by.

i used to hate him. eh kjap, pls don't let your mind run wild. we're still not okay. but i think we're better now. i'm ready to let my guard down and take this to the next level. him? i have no idea, he doesn't say much. sombong gile. dh la perangai complicated gile

i've been trying so hard to make this relationship work. yela, there must be a reason that my parents like him kan? i don't know, maybe i'm not good enough for him. maybe he's out of my league. Mohamad Accounting oh Mohamad Accounting.

that's usually what i think about after we fight. pastuh, pikir2 balik..besides my parents, there must be a reason why i'm passing my papers. and it's been soooo long. i can't give up just like that. not until i get our surat nikah.. eh silap, degree2.

tak kesah la die nak jual mahal ke ape ke, i'm not going to give up on us. atleast not now. tp i sometimes wished he showed more interest in me. serious sombong sangat okaaaay. with other people, he's this great guy. xpelaaaaaaa..mane taw nnt die plak terkejar kejar kan? lalala

proving to him that i'm really trying to make things work, i'm going to extend my internship. insyaAllah. there's much more for me to learn about him. maybe i'll fall for him. maybe i won't. (maybe he'll fall for me, then i'll reject him. LALA) wtv the future holds for us, atleast i can say to myself, that i've worked hard for this relationship to work. what's meant to be, is meant to be. if it doesn't work out..xpelah, xde jodoh. lgpun, ramai lagi jejaka2 kuat luar tuh. bukan Mohamad Accounting je. Mohamad Auditing ada, Wan Mohd Tax ada, Raja BuatBisnesSendiri pun ada. ha, ramai lagi la wey.

okay, xnak merepek dah. byebye =)

p/s : esok puasa okay

cook books and looks.

2011-10-29T10:28:00.000-07:00

assalamualaikum!

how do i know i'm ~~older~~ not as young as my usual 16 year old self?

*

masuk2 rumah nampak buku baking atas meja. oh man. sapa punya nih weh. aduih..nak bg amalina rashid la nih kan. *jalan laju2 naik atas, buat2 tak nampak that huge book*

umi : haaa amalina! nah, ni present.

me : ngeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. nak buat apa buku nih umi?

umi : org buat apa dgn buku resipi?

me : ngeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. heheheheh.

don't get me wrong, i seriously love ~~reading~~ looking at recipe books. especially those with good photos! syok sangat. i usually study them for quite some time.

aqilah : you ingat tuh buku accounts ke kakak?

me : shut up, i'm busy.

harisudin : cooking is not theory kakak, it's practical.

me : ishhhhhhhhhh. go away.

**

bila balik dari ofis,

baba : awat hitam sangat baba tengok awak nih.

me : dah mmg hitam kaaan.

baba : nih hitam lagi. awak tak pakai sunblock ke amalina? jalan2 tgh2 panas tuh.

me : bedak pun tak pakai, nak pakai sunblock pulak.

baba : ish budak nih, lain kali pakai payung. hitam betul.

me : tsk.

bila tgh makan,

baba : awat muka awak macam tuh amalina?

me : awatnya?

baba : ish awak nih tak jaga muka ka amalina? tak guna ka krim2 tuh semua.

me : -_-"

baba : *talks to umi* u tengok sat muka amalina nih. kita nak kena buat macam mana muka die nih? gosok la tgk krim apa apa.

me : -________________________________-"

so i know i'm getting older when my mother gives me cook books and when my father is concerned with my looks.

selamat malam semua, semoga hari esok lebih baik dari hari ni.

Nasihat Rasulullah s.a.w kepada Ali.

2011-10-27T05:41:00.000-07:00

Berikut adalah antara wasiat Nabi kepada Ali seperti yang diriwayatkan oleh Ibnu Abbas: Ibnu Abbas meriwayatkan, bahawa Ali Abu Talib berkata: "Pada hari perkahwinan dengan Fatimah, Rasulullah saw bersabda kepadaku, mengutarakan tiga belas wasiat khusus untukku:"

1. Wahai Ali, takutilah engkau daripada memasuki tempat mandi (hammam) tanpa memakai kain separas pinggang. Bahawasanya barang siapa memasuki tempat mandi tanpa kain separas pinggang, maka dia mendapat laknat (mal'un).

2. Wahai Ali, janganlah engkau ‘memakai cincin di jari telunjuk dan di jari tengah'. Sesungguhnya itu adalah apa yang dilakukan oleh kaum Lut.

3. Wahai Ali, sesungguhnya Allah mengagumi hamba-Nya yang melafazkan istighfar: "Rabighfirli fainnahu la yaghfirul-zunuba illa Anta" ( Tuhanku, ampunilah aku. Sesungguhnya tiada yang mengampunkan dosa melainkan Engkau). Allah lalu berfirman: "Hai malaikat-Ku, sesungguhnya hamba-Ku ini mengetahui bahawasanya tiada yang mengampunkan dosa melainkan Aku. Hai malaikat-Ku: Jadilah saksi, bahawasanya aku telah mengampuni dia".

4. Wahai Ali, takutilah engkau daripada berdusta. Bahawasanya berdusta itu menghitamkan muka dan disuratkan oleh Allah sebagai kazzab (pendusta). Dan, bahawasanya benar itu memutihkan muka dan disuratkan oleh Allah sebagai sadiq. Ketahuilah engkau, bahawasanya sidq (benar) itu berkat dan kizb (dusta) itu celaka.

5. Wahai Ali, peliharalah diri engkau daripada mengumpat dan mengadu-dumba. Bahawasanya orang berbuat demikian itu diwajibkan ke atasnya seksaan kubur dan menjadi penghalang kepadanya di pintu syurga.

6. Wahai Ali, janganlah engkau bersumpah dengan nama Allah, sama ada dusta atau benar, kecuali dalam keadaan darurat, dan janganlah jadikan Allah permainan sumpah engkau. Sesungguhnya Allah tidak menyucikan dan tidak mengasihani orang yang bersumpah dusta dengan nama-Nya.

7. Wahai Ali, janganlah engkau mencita-citakan rezeki untuk hari esok. Bahawasanya Allah mendatangkan rezeki engkau setiap hari.

8. Wahai Ali, takutilah engkau daripada berbantah-bantah dan berkelahi dengan maki-hamun dan sumpah-seranah. Bahawasanya perbuatan itu pada awalnya jahil dan pada akhirnya penyesalan.

9. Wahai Ali, sentiasalah engkau bersugi dan mencolek (mencungkil) gigi. Bahawasanya bersugi itu menyucikan mulut, mencerahkan mata dan diredai Allah, manakala mencolek gigi itu dikasihi malaikat kerana malaikat amat tidak senang dengan bau mulut kerana sisa-sisa makanan di celah gigi tidak dicolek selepas makan.

10. Wahai Ali, janganlah engkau melayani rasa marah.Apabila timbul rasa marah, duduklah engkau dan fikirkanlah mengenai kekuasaan dan kesabaran Allah Taala ke atas hamba-Nya. Pertahankah diri engkau daripada dikuasai kemarahan dan kembalilah engkau kepada kesabaran.

11. Wahai Ali, perhitungkanlah (tahassub) kurniaan Allah yang telah engkau nafkahkan untuk diri engkau dan keluarga engkau, nescaya engkau peroleh peruntukan daripada Allah.

12. Wahai Ali, apa yang engkau benci pada diri engkau, maka engkau bencikan juga pada diri saudara engkau dan apa yang engkau kasih pada diri engkau maka engkau kasihkan juga pada diri saudara engkau, yakni engkau hendaklah berlaku adil dalam memberi hukuman. Dengan itu, engkau dikasihi seluruh isi langit dan bumi.

13. Wahai Ali, perbaikkanlah perhubungan di antara penduduk (jiran) sekampung dan antara ahli rumah engkau. Hiduplah dengan mereka sekaliannya dengan rasa persahabatan dan kekeluargaan, nescaya disuratkan darjat yang tinggi bagi engkau.

Wahai Ali, peliharakanlah pesananku (wasiatku). Engkau akan peroleh kemenangan dan kelepasan.

InsyaAllah

me : jom buat roast chicken nak? i half day je today

harisudin : bukan u kena cabut gigi ke today?

me : nope, i kena makan roast chicken today. so cabut gigi will just have to wait.

*during the attempt to marinate the chicken*

me : hari tuh u bwat dah kan. senang je kan?

harisudin : easy peasy.

* rummage through the fridge to find edible goods*

me : pastu2? skrg buat apa?

harisudin : mm..masuk je la pape

me : .....

harisudin : i x ingat la umi masuk apa harituh. tapi boleh je masuk semua benda nih

me : ..............

*campak everything into the bowl*

harisudin : u taw macam mana nak bukak oven tak?

me : u taw tak?

harisudin : mana i taw!

me : xpe, i taw. * superhero pose* . lama mana kena dok dalam oven nih?

harisudin : mmm...

me : weyyy..bab lama mana dok dalam oven ni jangan main2 aaa. hangit kang!

* refer buku resipi yg bertimbun*

me : i don't think we should trust this cook book.

harisudin : why not?

me : because it says here that we're only suppose to use 1 teaspoon of salt. you used 2 tablespoon of salt. mestilah buku yang salah kan? xkan you yg slh kaaan.

harisudin : ......

me : kan? brother? kaan?

harisudin : all the recipes guna 1 teaspoon ke?

me : * flip through each page of the chicken recipe book* nope, apparently some of the recipes need only 1/2 teaspoon. you guna 2 camca besaq. you nak bunuh kita ke?

harisudin : relax, diorang punya garam masin. garam kita tak masin.

me : ...........

* we marinated the chicken for a few hours *

harisudin : bye kakak, i have class.

me : haaaa? pukul berapa dah nih. u nak suruh i bake sorang2 kee?

harisudin : pandai2 la you. ha, masak spagetthi ke macaroni ke. takkan nak makan ayam je.

me : .............

there i was, left alone in the kitchen. staring at the oven like it was about to swallow me in.

i am not going to elaborate how the cooking process went, because prospective husbands might be reading so i wouldn't want them to hesitate. lalala. therefore, i'm not going to mention how long i was in front of the oven and how much fat that i might have lost due to running back and forth in the kitchen.

all you need to know is everything went fine. the roast chicken was yummyy! my spaghetti ala amalina, according to harisudin was "too healthy" aka tawaq habiaq.

p/s : happy deepavali! i gave out deepavali cards this year. weee.

assalamualaikum!

betul atau betulkah?

2011-10-24T09:06:00.000-07:00

assalamualaikum,

i actually thought about the above. right away after reading anwar hadi's answer, i was like 'betul betul betul'

then i attempted to go to bed. i was about to doze off when i thought about it again and went ' eh, mana adaaaaaaaa laaah' haha..yes, sengal betul la amalina nih. tgh2 nak tertido boleh plak terpikir kan?

then i thought about it again, tiga kali pikir weyy. everyone is entitled to their own opinion. it's neither right or wrong. i mean, they're giving out opinions not facts!

so we should always react positively to them. jgn main amik je opinion tuh, pikir la dulu. jgn pulak main reject je opinion tuh, pikir la dulu.

i actually thought about this because i'm the kind of person who doesn't get along with opinions that don't see eye to eye with me. buruk betul perangai.i guess it's time for me to think about those opinions again. take it up positively despite how negative they may sound. tp kalau it just doesn't seem to make sense, i'll just have to put some of those opinions aside and don't let them bother me,.

okay, boleh tidur dgn tenang skrg. selamat malam semua, assalamualaikum.

p/s : roomate tercinta tak ada, dia ikut ayahanda balik kampung. tsk.

bad tudung day

2011-10-18T04:49:00.000-07:00

pfft. mood boleh tak bagus bila keadaan tudung tak bagus. tp x berapa nak pasti la if 'bad tudung mood' nih apply kat semua perempuan bertudung or just apply kat budak mengada macam amalina rashid.

yang pasti, bad tudung day akan berlaku bila amalina rashid,

1. bangun lambat, tudung tak gosok lagi. mak aii.nak cari pasal pakai tudung tak gosok? baik lambat pergi kerja dari pakai tudung tak gosok taw.

2. bila muncung tudung tak centre. pergh, rasa mcm muka senget sekali bila tudung senget2 nih.

3. bila tudung gelembung2. euw.

4. bila anak tudung yg dipakai x selesa. sapa suh gatal beli yg canggih2 terlebih nih kan. anak tudung pown boleh canggih ke? aish, anak tudung pown ikut arus teknologi okay.

5. bila color tudung tak masuk langsung dengan baju yg dipakai.boleh la pulak kan? hal ini selalunya berlaku bila amik tudung time gelap2 sebab aqilah dah tidoq. pagi2 bila pakai tuh, mmg tak sedar dah la tudung color apa, baju color apa. okay, orang lain mungkin sedar. tapi amalina rashid mmg tak sedar sebab dia bangun pukul 8 dan perlu ada kat ofis pukul 8.30 pagi. oleh itu benda remeh temeh tak akan dipandang. *tapi nombor 1 bukan perkara remeh taw! itu tak boleh play2.

6. bila benang tudung tertarik. jeng3. dah bangun lambat kan, so masa yg diperuntukkan untuk pakai tudung terpaksa la dikurangkan. dalam keadaan yg singkat ini, amalina rashid berada dalam keadaan yg huru hara dan mara bahaya. oleh itu, jangan lalu sebelah kerana anda dikhuatiri cedera terkena tgn amalina atau tercucuk pin.

7. bila dah bangun pukul 8 nih, memang tak sempat la pakai contact lens segala. kena la pakai speck mata. ishh..ni paling tak syoklaaa. ish ish ish. rimas yg teramat. serious rasa serabai. dah la sememangnya serabai. mula la nmpak rambut la apa la. sikit2 kena repair. sgt tak cool okaay. rasa comot gila macam aqilah pakai tudung. lalala. orang lain pakai speck dgn tudung cantik je tgk. but i seriously can't pull it off which is why i've been wearing lenses since form 3.

sebab tudung pun boleh tak ada mood kan. ngeee. what ever it is, tak kisah la bad tudung day ke apa. tak kisah la pakai tudung bawal ke, sarung ke selendang ke. yg penting, kena make sure pakai tudung elok2 taw amalina! jgn main bedal je.

kalau tak pakai tudung betul2 nanti adrian arshad nganga mulut mcm nih.

assalamualaikum!

the wall #1

2011-10-15T03:35:00.000-07:00

i knew i had to.whether i liked it or not, that wall had to be built.

i looked around, and saw no bricks.

in a way i felt better,

because without bricks, walls could not be built.

tell me how. tell me how to build without bricks. if it can be done, tell me.

intense-ship.

2011-10-04T01:58:00.000-07:00

assalamualaikum!

i'm on leave today. tuang satu hari kerja. nak buat mcm mana kan? kata x sihat. kalau pergi kerja pun, confirm kena halau balik rumah. niat baik nak sedekah virus kat org lain supaya drg boleh mc jugak. tp drg xnak, so simpan je niat ikhlas tersebut dan tidoq syok2. boleh x cuti2 sakit pun boleh terbayang kerja kat office? x macho langsung weh. sheesh.

UiTM pulak mintak buat 3 page report. Nak merepek apa sampai 3 page? Mmg buat kerja budak tadika la, besarkan font dan buat spacing sejarak-jaraknya.

Mmg merepek okay, xtaw orang lain tulis macam mana. Susah jugak praktikal sorang2 nih, rasa mcm sedikit cut-off.

this is a bit of what i wrote, rasa mcm x formal la plak. aish..tapi dah hantaq dah..biaq pi lah.

XX & ASSOCIATES AND I

Ifirst stepped into XX & Associates expecting the worst. How could I not?When I arrived there, the door was still locked. I waited around 10 minutesuntil a staff arrived. There I was, all dressed up for the occasion. She lookedat me from top to bottom. All I know was that she looked puzzled. She passed byme and tried to ignore me, thinking that I was simply waiting for someone infront of their door.

“Goodmorning, my name is Nur Amalina. I’m from UiTM, this is my first day”. Iblurted it out in one breath. How Iwanted to shake my head, and start again. Oh well, at least I did not say “Goodmorning, my name is Nervous. I’m here to do scary things”

Ofcourse she did not understand a single word I said. I explained to her that I’mhere to do my internship. She was more confused than ever. She told me that sheknew nothing of an intern coming in that day. The first thing I thought wasthat I had to walk back home and call UiTM to explain the matter, which wasn’tso dreadful compared to waiting for the boss to come in.

Anotherstaff came in and I quickly came up with my best smile and said goodmorning. He glanced at me and quicklypassed by without saying anything. Around nine o’clock, Mr G came in.I was told to fill in a job application and he briefly interviewed me. He wasvery nice; he told me the staff would always teach me new things. He offered mean allowance of RM __. I of course agreed with the suggestion. I would bewalking to the office from my family home. Meaning that I enjoy free breakfast,lunch and lodging. I had the RM__ all to myself........

yg lain tuh cerita la psl workload yg dpt..pastu suggest la kat bdak2 junior to come here as well because it's good..blabla. hrp2 org lain pon merepek mcm tuh la. okay lah lah lah. till later, au revoir.

smlm mimpi bawak kete nih. hebat jeeee okay bawak dlm mimpi tuh.

cuba bagi kete nih satu. mesti boleh bawak punya! okay, bye.

at twentytwo,

2011-09-30T11:47:00.000-07:00

at twentytwo,

i no longer have smooth skin like when i was 16. (chewah, perasan sgt, tp betul weh betul)

i no longer have the same 16 year old stamina. i make awful sounds when i attempt to exercise. imagine me climbing up FRIM. any human being would run away to the sound of my breathing.

i can no longer make stupid mistakes and get away with them.

i can no longer run to my parents when i have cheesy problems. but i think i'm still going to do that even at 40. me : *sobbing* pastu kan baba..*sobbing*

i can no longer say 'xnak kerjaaaa la, nak kawen org kaya'. ain't gonna happen. the mini cooper dream will just have to be kept somewhere in the closet - till further notice that is.

i am no longer applicable for duit raya. tahun nih punya duit raya misreable sgt okay!

at twentytwo,

i need to put so much on my face to keep it from falling. ( okay..at twenty two, i'm still a drama queen)

i still look at my watch or scratch my eyebrows constantly when ever i walk pass a crowd (more than 0 is considered a crowd)

i'm still scared of dr zainudin - the dentist. maybe that's why i'm the only one not wearing braces despite terribly in need of them.

i still sleep with one light on. (i'm glad i have aqilah as my room mate, even if i tell her to pack her bags and go camp outside)

at twentytwo

i need to grow up.

p/s : thanks to those who wished me last week and a hugsssssssss to those remembered without facebook's help. XOXO.

p/s/s : thank you to baba for the huge orange bag, thank you umi for the polka dotted watch, thank you brother for the colourful handmade phone casing, thank you sister for the card and thank you for the stay up attempt to wish me. XOXO.

assalamualaikum everybody, have a good weekend =)

my lady,

2011-09-23T06:32:00.000-07:00

to my dear ladies,

what do you do when you feel like eating people. you know what i mean.

i suggest you :

1. put on your favourite face mask. i love garnier. wangiii woo!

however, there might be some distractions

Eg:

Little sister : whatcha doing sister!

Me : Can't you see? I'm on my way to beauty. *pointing to my face*

LS : Ohhhh, pakai mask ke tuh?

Me : Yelaaaaaaa

LS : Ohhhh, you buat sendiri ke tuh?

Me : Ade pulaaaaaaak. Mana ada.

LS/environmentalist: You bought that mask, seriously? What a waste. You could have done it yourself. U just have to use eggs...honey..blablabla

Me : Go awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Little sister : just saying sister, just saying.

Me : Bwek.

2. Grab your favourite girly magazine! bring along a big fat marker. while flipping through, circle wtv you want! syoknyaaa. xyah keluar shopping pun. only attempt to buy things that you can't seem to get over. my favourite girly magazine is cleo! dah la tebal, murah pulak tuu (compared to seventeen)

The distraction,

Me : *Smiling away with my huge marker circling away as well*

Umi : Majalah apa tuh? Cleo lagi!?

Me : Ngee. bulan baru, cleo baru la.

Umi : Membazir betul! bukan ada apa pun majalah tuh. Penuh dgn iklan je. Isi xdak.

Me : Ade laa.......

Umi : *suddenly grabs the magazine and flips through..flips again..again..and again..*

Me : -__-''

3. Stay away from the phone. Just stay away. You're bound to get angry with the male gender. No matter what they say. During that time of the month, even the nicest and sweetest words will sound wrongggg.

But then..

Me : *Staying away from the fone..apa itu telefon? x knal pun?*

After hours of staying away from the phone, finally attempts to find it. Expecting several messages to be read from the same person. skali tgk..NO NEW MESSAGES.

Me : Ni sapa yg kena stay away nih?! ish, tak boleh jadi nih! *OFF*

4. hit the snooze button! byk2 kali.

But then,

You might wake up at 8.30 a.m. when you're suppose to be at the office at 8.30 a.m. Lalalala.

5. Write a diary

Oh wow, this is actually good. It makes you feel better. Spill it out in your diary rather than be mad to everyone without any good solid reasons. Don't have a diary? Do you think i have one? Pergh. Tlg angkat tgn sapa ada diary lg pls. Since i no longer had a diary, i rummaged through my high school treasures and found my form 4 diary! yeay! i didn't use the pages all up, so i decided to just continue from there. It was so long since i wrote in it..despite still being 16. ngee.

But then,

Malunya kalau ada org jumpa! so i hid it back where it belonged. ngee

6. Eat!

This has No downsides, distractions, or buts.

I suggest you go with number 6 =)

i seriously don't want to do anything today,

2011-09-18T04:49:00.000-07:00

assalamualaikum

did a small makan-makan yesterday. after an exhausting day i decided to do absolutely nothing today. baba sadly had to go to work, umi pampered herself with foot massage - which she does desperately needs and deserves! harisudin's misssion for today clashed with mine as he wanted today to be very productive. i don't mind as long as i don't happen to stumble into one of his plans. he attempted to ask me to jog with him. gila punya olang. i kindly refused and reminded him that 'jogging' is and will never be categorized under nothing. especially if i'm the one doing it. oh, not forgetting the girl who just finished her upsr. she's just busy catching up with television-not that she really missed anything.

but now i feel stupid because of too much lazing around, too much tv, too much food and just too much of doing nothing

maybe i'll feel less stupid if i jump around a bit, you know..move muscles -_-"

tomorrow is monday. work day. sheesh.

i wish of more excitement. i wish of more creativity. i wish of more beautiful colours. i wish of more conversations. i wish of less numbers. i just wish of more me there -_-". never in my life have i hated accountancy this much. you must feel like eating me or something. complaining, despite of how near the office is and how nice the people is =(

i feel less me when i'm there. i feel out of place. i feel like such a hypocrite. i feel stupid. i feel slow. i feel like a 5 year old. oh no, strike that. i would love to be 5 again. but when i complain, people ask me a simple question.

habis tuh nak buat apa amalina?

a question that i still don't know what to answer with despite how many times it's been thrown at me.

...

a pink Syawal.

2011-09-13T07:27:00.000-07:00

assalamualaikum!

i know it's not too late to say selamat hari rayaaaa since Syawal is here to stay for around 2 more weeks.

and it's absolutely never too late to say sorry to everyone. we have all year round to ask for forgiveness, bukan raya ja naa.

my apologies if i have ever ever ever hurt your feelings. if i have ever made you feel bad. if i have ever rolled my eyes to you, if i have ever raised my voice with you, if i didn't keep my promises.. dan sewaktu dengannya. I am truly sorry =(

alhamdullilah, i had 9 days of raya holiday. weee

gurun,kedah.

haha. the boys excited to wear pink after some harsh forces from us ladies.

aqilah saying sorry if she doesn't get 5As for UPSR. (as if we did)

a drastic uniform turn over for sate purposes.

till later, good bye =)

attn : nadia

2011-09-10T08:39:00.001-07:00

nadiaaaaa! where on earth are you??

going so soon.

2011-08-21T06:36:00.000-07:00

assalamualaikum!

10 terakhir dah kan? how time flies. this ramadhan especially. rasa x menang tangan. nak buat tuh nak buat nih. weekend baru la sempat nak buat. lg2 dgn maid dah balik cuti ( die baru balik sana sehari okay) sheesh.

mm, sedang dilanda kemalasan untuk menekan keyboard, oleh itu kita tengok gmbr dan buat ulasan sajalah.

yesterday was baba's birthday. No, he's not 50 years old. He's actually 49, but we wanted to give him an early mental preparation. hee

umi's lai chee kang.

kuih beli kat mobil taman tun je pun dah syok!

when on earth do these people find the time to do this? culinary arts dah nih ha

buat agar2 je reti =(

pergh, i bet roti john is one of the best selling food this ramadhan. kalau x, xdalah ada yang sampai amik cuti tanpa gaji sebulan sebab nak jual roti john punya psl. i'm not really a fan, tapi budak2 mesti minat punya. ntah2 everyday drg beli. parents pun xley nak complain la kan. ye la, budak kecik tuh dah puasa penat2..suka hati die lah nak makan ape kan.

yes, my everlasting favourite.

harisudin cooked this dish hari tuh. pffft. boleh laaa..kureng sikit...mm..

okay fine, sedap.

saya, nur amalina, mmg dah gemuk okay. mmg confirm. this is not only based on what everybody is saying. this is based on what the weighing machine is saying, what my baju kurungs are saying, what my jeans are saying and what my brother and sister are saying. and both of them never lie to me - even when they're suppose too.

Eg :

me : harisudin, i dah gemuk ke?

him : dah

me : tp okay je kan? xde lah gemuk sgt kan?

him : xde lah, memang dah gemok sgt.

me : hah?

aqilah : ha'ah, u dah gemuk. better watch what u eat now.

harisudin : dah x boleh join supper2 dah okay.

me : -____-"

like i care, supper tetap supper sebab supper itu super.

weee. selamat malam! assalamualaikum =)

oh btw i updated Chocobumbum!

simply untitled

2011-08-13T10:21:00.000-07:00

assalamualaikum!

pergh, i'm seriously losing my blogging enthusiasm. it's just that whenever i come around to posting an update, something more important than blogging pops up. oh well, anything compared to blogging is always worth making time for kan. Eg : sleep, sleep, sleep.

i'm doing fine btw. ala, mana lah tau ada orang wondering2.

ramadhan this year is going great as well. especially the part where i get to spend it at homeeeeeeeeeeeeee! wee. heaven

however, harisudin seems to be damaging my reputation at home since he's on holiday. oh wait, i don't have a reputation. but stillllll! dah macam2 dia masak okay. buat buah melaka la ( in three colours), caramel la, roasted chicken la. i on the other hand do not have time to do all this (nasib kerja, kalau x nak bagi alasan ape la amalina oi). malas nak post gmbar masakan2 dia. penuh dalam handphone ni ha, sekali masak. 44 kali tangkap gmbar satu dish tu haaa.

mm..ape lagi nak cakap. haa, went to jalan TAR tadi. suicidal. i suggest that you do not go if you live on oxygen.

okay, that's all the bahasa caca marba i have right now. goodbye. assalamualaikum =)

kadang2,

tengok kiri, tengok kanan,

kosong.

nak panggil,

segan.

ingat balik janji-janji.

tengok balik kiri kanan.

kosong lagi.

sebak.

sedih sekejap.

diam sementara.

ingat Dia.

x pyh tgk kiri kanan..

sebab tahu Dia ada.

ingat balik janji2 Dia.

sebak jugak.

tapi senyum.

sebab dengan Dia, x segan nak panggil selalu.

sebab tahu, Dia takkan bosan.

sebab tahu, Dia tak give up dengan kita.

sebab tahu, Dia tak rasa yg kita worthless.

sebab tahu, bila orang lain tak ada. Dia ada.

p/s : happy ramadhan. grab it while its here with us. assalamualaikum

clean

2011-07-12T05:39:00.000-07:00

assalamualaikum!

okay, nampak sangat dah lama sangat tak update. blogger pun dah lain. it looks...erm, clean?

----

i had to abandon the laptop for safety reasons just now. my maid was brutally killing a humongous cicak. so i had to seek refuge in my room. i even locked it. what was i thinking? that 'it' was walking on it's two feet and had two large hands to turn the door knob? pfft, it sure looked liked it. in need of a husband that could actually act fast like my akak whenever he sees a cicak (utk 10 tahun lagi) be it near or far from me. tapi tgk akak tuh ganas sgt la pulak. bakal suami pukul sekali je okay.

internship is going greaaaat *hidung terus jadi lagi panjang dari pinnochio*. i'm just very thankful i'm surrounded by an environment that's making my life easier. Eg :- distance, working hours, lunch at home, great colleagues.

i'm missing so many people right now. it would be nice to turn into several amalinas and go meet them no matter how far they are.

goodbye!

have a great week =)

(okay..tgk pikir mcm mana nak publish sbb xleh scroll down pun)

long day.

2011-06-29T03:45:00.000-07:00

kenapa hari ni extra slow motion? selalunya bila sampai office tgk2 jam dah pukul 10. lepas tuh despatch datang, meaning it's already 11. Tgk balik jam tiba2 dah 12.30. Bergembira selama 30 minit dan boleh balik rumah lunch dah. Second half of the day pun usually laju, masuk office pukul 2, kalih2 tgk jam dah 3 lebih. Kalih sekali lg dah 4 lebih. Bila 4 lebih nih baru buat kerja laju laju. Pastu pukul 5.30 buat-buat x pandang jam. Saje tunggu supervisor halau balik.

Hari ni...pergh. Tgk jam pukul 10, pastuh rasa macam dah sejam berlalu kan. Tgk2 baru 10.03. Betuuuul, serious. Okay maybe it was actually 10.15 or something. I don't really remember.

Mungkin sebab hari ni israk mikraj? Mungkin Allah saja panjangkan masa bagi kita time top up pahala.

Selamat berbuka kepada yang berpuasa, assalamualaikum =)

chicken chop

2011-06-25T04:14:00.000-07:00

it is seriously 6.30 p.m alreadyyyyy? i feel like crying and hugging saturday real tight. oh well, the only thing i should do is just be thankful that i have the weekends off. some friends even have to work on saturdays. to those who have to work on sundays, i have no words to console you. okay maybe i have one. you're lucky you get to study 7 days a week! bila lagi kan? some might even get more allowance. think about that! yeayy?!

okay, it's 6.35. it's okay, it's been a good saturday. chewah, cara cakap macam x jumpa saturday dah! mana la taw kan. death seems to come when you least expect it. so we might as well keep on expecting. okay, mula merepek dah. next!

6.37. i went to the chic pop bazaar today! oh wait, cut the crap. some might not even know what chic pop is! kan bakal suami? chicken chop kan? xpe2, kerja tiap hari lagi syok sebab kerja you syok!

6.40. i went with the whole family except baba. ofcourse. baba would kill us if we brought him there, or maybe he would resolve to just reading his magazines at coffee shops. either one.

6.42. didn't get to meet zafia there. it was just so crowded. she went alone okay. gila cool kawan aku sorang nih. chic pop is so for her. there just tonnes and tonnes of vintage everywhere. people were nice, especially the chinese. i'm not being racist. i'm a malay for goodness sake. tapi the chinese there where just so friendly and down to earth. most of them said 'hello and how are you' as we passed by. imagine when we actually stop by to look at their cool stuff.

6.48. ada this malay girl, and that other malay girl and that other other one too.mak ai, i think i just did not meet the right malay crowd. ada satu tuh, ktrg stop by tgk her bags. i tell u, bags die mmg cantik. but she said nothing, not even look at us, not even hand us her card. bila tgk kitrg pun, senyum macam nak taknak je. i was like, okay bye! pr tarak langsung. memang patut la jual online je. if she had just acknowledged us, i would've bought the bag straight away. betuuul, but my stupid ego took over and i decided to walk away. padan muka, x dapat bag tuh. hee.

6.54. overall it was fun. i had fun looking at beautiful girls. guys? i heard this guy say ' weh, ko bawak aku pergi mana nih..barang perempuan je weh' haha. memang betul pun..tapi ada je brg lelaki. and if they appreciated art, there were tonnes of things laying around for them. thdn i saw the boyfriends being dragged booth by booth. i do mean drag. tarik tangan kuat-kuat punya drag. funny scene that one.

kat bawah je tempat paling peaceful. lain semua dah sesak. padahal pergi pagi dah.

harisudin punya kasut. cuba teka material apa dia lekat tuh. starts with c.

we bought this cool pop up book! best sgt

baba was like 'oh, so rumah kita x letak bunga dah la lepas nih? letak buku ni je?'

ye memang, memang xde satu shade pun yg sesuai with my face! mmg xde. okay fine, maybe sbb nih harisudin punya. tapi memang xde. kena beli custom made punya (in a few hundred years)

7.14. okay bye, have a good weekend. assalamualaikum.

nak cutiiiiiiii

sdfihbknmcsl;soweifuhrbvnksldj'oipefurihjkn.

all i've been doing is complaining. i look like a granny due to excessive complaining and nagging. seriously. i'm getting that 'i'm no longer 16' vibe.

everything seems to go wrong these days. i don't know whether it's just me, or things are really just plain wrong. i bet everybody else but me, will say that it's just me. kan? i know.

okay, fine. maybe it is me? maybe it's me..lacking something. maybe i'm passion/knowledge/strength/faith/fat.

ntah. xtaw.

can i please get a 5 month mc?

nak balik kampung.

pfft, maybe i should just snooze off.

bye2. assalamualaikum.

hari baba

2011-06-18T23:19:00.000-07:00

assalamualaikum!

oh wow, it's been so long since i updated. pfft. just wanted to say happy father's day! it's amazing that i only came to know the right date only a few days ago. it's always the same with mother's day as well. i just can't seem to remember the dates. second sunday la ape la.

we did a small bbq yesterday. i think i'm going to suggest each saturday to be a makan-makan extra day. since last week we did a small steamboat session. hopefully umi's cooking fiesta prolongs.

we gave baba a card, a ball, and three pairs of socks. ngee. Baba is always excited when he gets cards and all. he went and took alllllll the cards we've given him in the past years and started comparing what we said to him each year. each year had a common sentence -'you're the best baba anyone can have'. i bet it's any other child's common card sentence as well.

we finally got him a football and wrote all over it. he decided that it was a so called trophy and that it should be kept nicely, not played. well..that obviously did not tally with our idea of getting the ball for him in the first place. kitorang nak main laaaaa.

internship has been okay so far. but i can't seem to manage my time well. tgk la..sampai x update2 blog. i snuggle into bed so early these days. masa sekolah dulu pun tak tido awal cam ni okaay. i have a feeling i'll be going to the branch in kl for quite some time. pfft. they said the work there is hardcore..so it'll be a good exposure for me. nak tuh memang la nak..but with alllllll the trouble i have to go through to get there? urgh. x cool. dalam hati mcm..'bukannya aku nak kerja benda alah nih pun..nak exposure buat apa ntahh?' ( you must be going, amalina ni gila ke..die nak kerja apa.. astronaut? )

then i thought about my four years of studying accounts. i hated it didn't i (still do yaw) but that didn't stop me from trying. ada yang awal2 masuk bukan main cinta dgn accounts, sekali last2 end up hating it jugak. atleast i'm consistent ( hated it since day 1, lalala). alhmdlh, so far i've passed the papers, which is okay for someone hating the subject. so might as well give it a go. mana lah taw..after internship terbuka hati kat accounting ke kan. insyaAllah. erh, okay that was a bit dramatic. but yeahh..i do hope i get a chance to do it passionately.

that's all for now.

take care =)

my first day

2011-06-01T04:11:00.000-07:00

assalamualaikum!

I, Nur Amalina binti Abdul Rashid hereby announce to everyone in the whole wide world that today, 1/6/2011, is the first time I went to work.

Please take note that from 8.30 a.m till 5.30 p.m I will be 22 years old instead of my usual 16 year old self.

Alhamdullh everything went fine today. So, let's minus 1 day from the 6 months. Okay, lama lagi. Berkualiti sangat hidup selama 6 bulan.

Semalam siap tidur sebelum pukul 11malam okay! I should jot that somewhere. 11 malam ye. Rasa nerd sangat. Aqilah laaa, dia kata kena 7/8 jam laaa ape laa. Since awal sgt, asyik terbangun je. 1 pagi bgn, 2 pagi bgn, 4 pagi bgn, 5 pagi bgn, tup tup 6.45 baru bgn betul2. Sheesh.

One thing i'm sure about today is that i have to pick up faster since i'm such a slow learner. Slow campoq gabra lagi. Aish. X boleh jadi.

Okay la, segan nak cerita banyak-banyak. hee. bye.

taman negara pahang

2011-05-30T21:22:00.000-07:00

assalamualaikum!

i just got back from taman negara pahang. had loads of fun. it was certainly a refreshing trip.

DAY 1
arrived there in the evening. then we went searching for shoes since they told us our shoes were going to get wet a lot. so we found these rubber shoes.

tujuh ringgit jee

after dinner we had a night trail. i was of course a bit freaked out about the idea. tehee. oh well, that ain't a surprise since i always freak out about everything. it turned out to be fun fun fun and safe! we had a guide named azhari. this guy told us we were going to depend on our torch lights to find insects, SNAKES, and other animals in there. how fascinating. i would love to go hunting for snakes -_-". i decided i won't be needing a torchlight. i'd rather not see anything. it's okay, no snakes were found that night. alhmdllh. this azhari guy was really cool, he spotted insects that would took us minutes to figure out even if it was in front of us.

nampak mcm ranting kan insect tu? jumpa kala jengking semua. x sempat nak tgkp gmbr

he then told us there was sightings of an elephant a few days ago. the first question i asked was " okay, so kalau kita jumpa dia kejap lagi nak buat apa". duh, mana la taw lalu sebelah ke kan.then we came to this place yang ada ramai betul orang. ape nama aa..macam tempat bird watching. something like that. pastuh ktrg nampak rusa..kancil..tapir kat area tuh. excited tak? mestilah excited! because they're wild animals who happen to pass by. not trained animals which were told by people to be there. azhari then spotted an elephant! he asked everyone to be dead silent and switch our torchlights off. pergh, it was pitch black masa tuh. tak nampak apa pun, dah la kat tengah-tengah hutan. lama la jugak tunggu tapi berbaloi sebab gajah tuh keluar jugak. tapi sekejap je..maybe die terkejut tiba2 ramai yang suluh lampu kat dia. paparazzi ramai sgt.

DAY 2

first activity for that day was rapid shooting. objective rapid shooting nih memang nak membasahkan ktrg. seriously kuyup. azhari tuh kata basah sikit sikit je. tipuu sgt. dia dgn driver boat je yang x basah sebab drg punya tempat duduk tuh tinggi. ktrg nih macam kena lempang dgn air tuh. tapi best. ngee

the rapid shooting brought us to the canopy walk. there were loads of people there. oh, there were so many foreigners there. french, dutch..you name it. they seemed to be more familiar with taman negara compared to us folks. but the canopy walk wasn't so much fun since they closed a few paths.

after the canopy walk, we went to a perkampungan orang asli. azhari told us to act normal. when we came, all the women went back inside their houses. they were only a few still lingering outside with their babies. They're called Bateq Natives. There was this guy called John Kumbang. I wanted to laugh out loud until i realized he was serious. They embrace animism, but the funny thing was..this John Kumbang guy kept on saying ' Ya Allah..InsyaAllah..' Azhari cakap diorang nih belajar through other people punya conversation. That's why a few of them can actually speak fluent english. mcm2 la dia cerita..drg siap tunjuk macam mana drg hunt and all

last activity for the day was a trip to lata berkoh. it was a 45 minute boat ride..it didn't feel long at all! the scenery was just so beautiful, subhanallah.

this azhari guy suggested we walk 1.2km to this spot. he said it was nice and there were less people there. but he left out information on the leeches part. of course he did and when we arrived there, bees were swarming around harisudin and me. pergh. takut sgt. orang lain boleh cool jeee, the bees were basically attacking us. pastuh azhari kata the bees were actually going for our sweat. orang lain pun peluh jugak! sheesh..maybe sebab ktrg paling banyak pakai sunblock. ngee.

there were no activities that night since semua orang nak tengok barca lawan losers.

DAY 3

last day kitrg pergi tengok gajah. masa first day hari tuh punya la tunggu gajah keluar. nih merata-merata gajah. tapi x best mcm masa kena tunggu dalam hutan tuh. manja sgt gajah-gajah kat sini. siap memilih nak kacang mana.

i guess that's about it. esok 1 June. takde pape pun, takde sapa praktikal pun.

till later, assalamualaikum =)

what i learned in the kitchen today.

2011-05-20T22:28:00.000-07:00

oh, the hard way that is.

1. Serbuk kari ikan dan serbuk kari daging sama colour. I will not elaborate on how i found out.

2. Always ask for a second opinion.

3. Never ask me for that second opinion.

4. When you don’t put enough salt, they call it ‘tawaq’ instead of healthy. I wonder why, I was just concerned for the well being of the household.

5. When you want to blend onions or whatever, please make sure you use the right blender. Apparently, there are three types of blenders.

- for onions, halia, etc. I'm not sure what falls under etc.

- for chili

- for drinks

6. Before cooking, do make sure you have all the ingredients. You would not want to discover that there are only 2 eggs instead of 4 when you're in the process of making baked macaroni.

7. It is also important that you know where the ingredients are. know your kitchen well. Don't learn this when there are relatives/other people around. You won't want them to go

'' laaaaaa anak dara niiiii..kunyit letak mana pun dia xtawww kaaa "

xnak okay? we want to have our pride and dignity still intact after the cooking session.

8. Oh, during the tasting session. Please be aware of these two categories of opinion.

- truth

- lies told to make you feel better so that you don't end up not knowing how to cook when you're 30.

For example :

Harisudin : Kakak, your baked macaroni is tasteless. Just thought you should know. (truth)

Baba : Uishhh..sedap sungguh awak masak nih. Memang selalu dok masak kan makaroni.

( lying, there is a possibility that this person did not even taste the food)

Umi : tadi tanya dah bubuh garam tak..kata dah bubuh. (on the way to the truth)

Baba : tapi sedap kan?

Umi : Tak (cold hard truth)

However, you need to look out for confused people like this

1st situation

Aqilah : Do you want to kill your sister? don't come in the kitchen ever again.

(but she was the one who finished the whole dish)

2nd situation

Aqilah : MM! i can eat everything!

(but she barely finished her plate)

okay bye,

assalamualaikum.

pfft (4)

2011-05-20T11:08:00.000-07:00

terasa macam tersilap pilih tempat praktikal. padan mukaaa. nak dekat sangat kaan amalina. padan muka. why all of the sudden? oh you know that feeling.i know my instincts are all over the place..but i just have a bad feeling about this one. ni yang x suka nih. maybe i should just expect the worst out of it..then it won't turn out so bad? tsk. mana bolehhh..6 freaking months kot! why on earth did they accept me in the first place if they were going to treat me that wayyy. sorry, tengah mood drama queen sekarang. oh well, that's 90% of my mood composition anyway. okay, kalau teruk..tukar je la pergi tempat lain kan. give it two weeks..or 1 month to be sure that it's no good. okay. no problem. yeap. no problem. sila cool amalina.

selamat malam,

assalamualaikum.

my big black box.

2011-05-18T23:23:00.000-07:00

assalamualaikum!

since i'll be home for months, i wont be needing the big black box anymore.

payah betul, nak terminate tapi kena tunggu dalam dua tiga bulan lagi bagi cukup dua tahun nikah baru boleh ceraikan.

so nak buat apa dengan dia?

hiasan?

penahan buku?

meja kecik? erm, meja sgt kecik?

lampu tidur?

okay, semua x praktikal nampaknya -_-"

v for vengeance

2011-05-17T09:37:00.000-07:00

hey there,

i just wanted to share a post from one of my most favorite blogs. Hentakbelipat dan juga petisuara's blog. its about the acid splasher who's still roaming around. it is seriously not understandable right? oh well, we never understand why bad people do bad things. i wonder how they have it in them. to pour acid on another human being. okay, maybe we can call it a mistake if its a one time act. maybe that guy had so much vengeance on women that he wasn't thinking straight. but more than 20 times? if its the same guy, memang dia gila. if its not the same guy, memang diorang semua gila.sheesh.

what's up with men anyways? marah kat sorang, semua orang kena sekali ke? satu perempuan sama dengan perempuan lain ke? eh, tapi ada je lelaki yg kena kan. dia marah kat semua orang keee.teringat pulak, there was this one time when i was walking in uitm with my friend. we were walking the opposite direction with cars on the road. but we were on the pedestrian walk, not on the road. there were so many cars because everyone was going for their friday prayers at that time. while walking, this CRV slowed down and honked at us. the guy at the passenger seat lowered his mirror and screamed "perempuan banggang" at us. i was so shocked that i couldn't get it out of my mind for a while. siap tgk diri atas bawah. mana lah taw..terseksi ke kan -_-". seksi apaaaanya orang pakai baju kurung! he obviously screamed at us because we were the only ones walking. dah la pakai baju melayu elok2, pakai kereta elok2, nak pergi solat jumaat pulak tuh. tapi perangai macam tuh. sheesh.

oh well, rambut sama hitam tapi hati lain lain kan. i guess we just better take extra precaution. (okay, i know this sentence is not related with the paragraph but so what)

till later,
assalamualaikum =)

sunday walk.

2011-05-15T23:12:00.000-07:00

yesterday after subuh umi told us we were going on a sunday walk. but no, it certainly did not fall in the walking category. i'm going to call it a hike.

because if it was a walk,

1. my body would not be in this much pain

2. it would not have involved that much nature packaged with leeches.

3. it would not have involved me falling and slipping

4. i would not have been breathing like i was about to give birth

5. i would not have been sweating like buckets of water was splashed on me

last but not least,

6. i would not have been crowned 'paling tak ada stamina' in the family

so yes, it was a hike. umi said it was nothing because naik kat frim je pun. no no, i'm still sticking with hike.

i only took pictures after the hike because i was busy breathing. you will not see any pictures of my brother because he left us by 20 minutes. show off!

spot the uncle wearing work attire.

nope, i wasn't slow. i was just admiring nature.

look at the branches!

nampak tak ikan ni besar manaaa. huish.

oh, later that day, it rained heavily. we were doing our weekly grocery shopping at pasar malam taman tun. aqilah and i stayed in the car because we forgot our umbrellas. i was about to doze off when i heard a thump on the car. aqilah heard it too, i swear i thought it was lighting since it was like were switching lights on and off outside. kuat sangat kilat masa tuh. there were several thumps on the car. ~~aqilah~~ we were freaking scared masa tuh. then only we saw ICE falling on the car. betuuul, it was iceee. just small bits of them. so we assumed it was big sized ice which made those thumps. umi and harisudin thought we were hallucinating because they were outside and according to them, no ice was falling from the sky. tapi betul la, xnak percaya xpelah.

owh, tarik balik kata dah bosan cuti! ngee

assalamualaikum

nothing in particular.

2011-05-14T03:54:00.000-07:00

i seriously have to have a lot of patience to be with my girlfriend. tengok la tengok. nampak x gambar apa? kalau x nampak, tak cool. ngee. snap something, then you don't get to see it, then you have these expectations on how the pictures are going to turn out, then she crushes you with pictures like this. it's okay girlfriend, i still love you more and more each day.

my third roll produced the most output. tapi tengok orang lain first roll pun semua gambar dah jadi. haish, tak reti jaga girlfriend ke amalina oi? dia lari kaaang. eh, mana bley lari, hak milik kekal dah ni ha.

owh, saya dah bosan dengan cuti.

end of semester six

2011-05-12T06:50:00.000-07:00

assalamualaikum!

baaaahhhhhh. finished my finals! alhamdullilah, i hope that's the end of semester 6. i don't want to see any of you papers again. but seriously, the papers were just mean and cruel. they were NOT friendly at all. especially mrs grumpy ol financial accounting. thanks a bunch for ending our semester with her. yucks. tak suka tak suka tak suka. plus we only had a day to study for that paper =(. i pray that things go well.

i packed up my things and left shah alam. even moved out from kristal (i was renting there). sedih sangat. stayed there since semester two. but since i have my internship in june and the 8th semester was only going to start in march next year..it just didn't make sense to keep on paying rent for 9 months. time seems to fly real fast nowadays. friends are graduating, working, even weddings for some. lajunya lajunyaa. berkualitinya hidup koranggg.

dah tua ke kau ni amalina?

..

mana ada! baru 16 =)

exams

2011-04-25T10:02:00.000-07:00

will be starting my finals soon, five papers all together. fewer from past semesters. i have no idea whats wrong with me today. i keep jumbling my letters. it's like my fingers are tongue-tied or something. believe me, it took me quite a while to write even a few sentences. hm. all freaked out about the five papers. i seriously have to get better grades. sixth semester dah, i can't believe it's been 3 years already. tapi setiap kali finals kelam kabut mcm ni jugak. sheesh. i hope they'll be nice to me. strike that. all five of them betterrr be nice to me. sorry to who ever i have hurt. i'm sorry. i reach high level stupidity at times. (amalina mmg mintak maaf tiga kali setahun je. raya sekali, finals dua kali. ngee. i'll improve if you forgive me. ngee) good luck to everyone as well, i pray that we all do our best and get good results =)

oh, it's been raining quite a lot lately. study, study jugak..tapi make sure we take care of ourselves okay.

so take care everybody,

assalamualaikum

study week 1

2011-04-19T05:32:00.000-07:00

1.can you see me smiling away despite of this week being study week? *smiliiiing*

2. it's just so good to wake up in your own bed. eat more than 3 proper meals per day. study. ( a bit? ) and when i get bored with studying ( which is quick ) i get to go watch tv on the sofa ( yes, there will be some struggle with the remote, but it's okay) i get to pressure aqilah to study for her upsr (which seems wrong for ME among all ppl to do, but i don't care) go wander in harisudin's room ( which is always amusing i tell you ) macam2 laaa boleh buat. i just have to make sure i study, my only ticket to still be staying at home. kalau tak confirm kena halau balik shah alam okay. oleh itu amalina, no matter how much fun you're having, please please study!

3. syoknya syoknya!

4. oh oh, last sunday there was this small family day done by the teachers. obviously had to go. but it turn out to be fun meeting all the teachers there. wee. but everyone was saying that i looked thin bla bla bla.

5. they held it at pn nurhana's orchard in perak. i was the first lucky one to get bit by a leech. yucks. it rained the night before, so i guess you can imagine how these bloodsuckers were partying. i seriously felt it go up my legs. i thought it was my imagination running wild then i put my hand in my pocket and felt something squirmy. tadaaa. it almost brought tears to my eyes, but since i was surrounded by teachers..kena lah cool weh. tapi it was so high up okayy, nak cool mcm mana. eiiiii. the funny thing was..my sister got bitten too and she didn't have pretend to be cool. dia memang sgt cool.

masa tuh tgh makan,

me : aqilah..ape tuh kat kaki awak..(i wasnt sure, it looked like a bug sebab gemuk sgt)

aqilah : hm? owh..get it of me.

me : hah? pacat ke tuuuuuuuuuuuuu??? ( tried to touch it to confirm. stupid stupid move)

aqilah : *continues eating like nothing is crawling up her feet*

me : umiiiiiiiiii! ada pacaaaat kat aqilaah!

cikgu2: ehhhh, tangkap la gambar! boleh letak kat fb!

me : -_-"

aqilah : ha'ah laaa..mana camera? cari lah camera dulu

me : -_-""

no, i'm not going to upload the picture.

cuti week

2011-04-16T09:33:00.000-07:00

assalamualaikum!

dah balik rumah untuk study week/cuti week. lebih kurang je makna dua2. lalala. dah siap bawak balik meja okaay. cubaan nak study tuh ada dah. nnt kita tgk study ke tidak ye.

okay, kita biar je dulu. dah ready baru duduk.

yesterday went out with classmates, nanti lepas final mesti semua sibuk igt rumah je..so baik jumpa sebelum final. serious class semester nih best sgt! korang sgt best! syg korang semuaaa. nanti last semester kita satu class lagi okay =)

taz! amik gambaq satu taw!

till later, goodnight everybody =)

to all my sisters.

2011-04-14T07:54:00.000-07:00

assalamualaikum!

okay wow, lamaaaaaaaanyaaaa tak update. i have one more day left, lepas tuh balik balik balikk!

okay, i came across this post kat blog woot2. do take a few minutes to read this. especially us ladies out there.

dah baca? gila betul kan? some people just seem to cross the line. susah hati tengok benda-benda macam tuh. we can't control those people, they're just out of our hands.lagi-lagi kalau ilmu di dada tak cukup banyak..diorang tak heran punya kalau orang nak kata diorang kurang bijak ke ape ke..

but maybe we can do something, by not letting them have the chance to grab our pictures and splatter it on the internet. kalau utk perkara yg elok2 takpalah..nih utk benda2 mengaibkan..what goes into the internet stays there ppl ( unless you're number 4)

sometimes kita tak sedar pun gambar kita inappropriate kan? ada terkurang sana sini. if the picture is on facebook tak apa lagi because we can control who views our pictures and all. our friend list pun yg kita kenal2 belaka. tapi ada jugak yg approve sebab mutual friends ramai kan? aish, kena filter balik nih.

fb satu hal, ni blog nih lagi byk hal. tak sedap hati pulak. dah la dah post gambar byk. to go delete every single picture of me would certainly take time. dah la tak private, sapa2 boleh tgk dan ambik je gmbar tuh. (i don't understand whyyyyy you would want to take my picture, but still?) pernah je masa time friendster dulu ada this guy took my picture and inserted it in his album..and i had noooooo idea who he was. scary weh. ish..entah berapa banyak dosa dah accumulate.

i might as well private my blog kan? open it to friends je. i've had that in mind recently. i'll think it through. but for the moment lets be careful on what pictures we post okay ladies?

xx loads of love to all sisters xx

2011-04-10T03:21:00.001-07:00

kerja drg memang makaaan je. xyah carrot2 kecik. carrot besaq nih pun abis.

okay, just a short update telling u guys i'm still around.
goodnite everyone, assalamualaikum!

time.

2011-03-28T06:07:00.000-07:00

sometimes i swear i hear the clock ticking. showing me how little time i have left. it freaks you out like crazy you know. then i shake my head. convincing myself, at certain days...the clock does tick a bit louder than it usually does. let's call it a small reminder knocking my soul. telling me, that time isn't..and will never ever be mine. telling me..maybe tomorrow, my time is up. maybe lah.

but i guess it's better to hear it tick at times you know? rather than not hearing it all. you're bound to get carried away when you don't know how much time you have kan. maybe you convince yourself that it's your life and you can get allllll the time you want. heh. nope. that's not how things work and you know it.

assalamualaikum.

satu jam

2011-03-26T08:28:00.000-07:00

assalamualaikum!

lamaaaaanya tak update. busy busy. kalau tak busy, bukan student la kan (kalau tak buat last minute bukan amalina la kan)

tadi earth hour. my family has always been excited about this one hour.

aqilah : tok2, malam nih kena tutup lampu taw.

tok : tv pun kena tutup ka?

aqilah : semua kena tutup

tok : ish, tok nak tgk berita niih.

aqilah : setengah jam je boleh tgk. pastuh kena tutup. satu dunia tutup ni.

tok : satu dunia tutup? okay takpa. dulu dulu pun mana ada lampu semua nih.

ngee. so candle light dinner dengan tok2 sekali.

owh, adinda dah mula pakai braces. lucky her, kecik2 dah dapat pakai. tapi serious buruk betul. maybe mula2 la kot. gigi dia currently nampak mcm unsloved jigsaw puzzle.ngeee. so diorang tgh perasan cool sebab drg dua2 dah pakai dan rasa kakak drg nih x cool sebab x pakai braces. whatever to the both of you.

semalam accident sikit. naik kereta housemate nak pergi class..ktrg keluar extra awal pulak tuh semalam. sekali ada la satu hamba Allah nih bawak motor tak tgk kiri kanan. ktrg dah slow down dah sbb sedar die tak nampak ktrg, tak sempat nak tekan hon, die dah langgar kereta comel ifa dah. haishhh. pastuh dia jatuh pulak, orang datang tolong and all. pagi2 dah buat drama. oleh kerana kami bertiga nih baik hati, bawak la die pergi pusat kesihatan and hantar die balik rumah semua. sebagai ganjaran, class tiba2 cancel. ngee. but it was the only right thing to do, takkan nak biar je die cmtuh. tapi die pun cedera sikit je. motor dia yang teruk. bahaya betul la..padahal dua2 slow je. imagine if both were speeding? bahaya betul laaa. hal ini telah mengurangkan keinginan utk bawak kereta. sekian.

sikit nih pun dah kena beratus okay.

dream destination

2011-03-14T09:51:00.000-07:00

i have always always always alwayssss wanted to go to the maldives. it is so beautiful =). i watched a travelling channel during high school featuring the maldives as a honeymoon/holiday destination once and has gotten hitched since.

okay, maybe you'll have to look real close to spot it

90% of maldives is the ocean

ada chalets atas laut taw. look down and you'll see the clear blue ocean. look up and you'll see the skyyy. best kaan? eh, try not to imagine it too much. it's just a small transparent circle in the middle of the chalet, not the whole floor and roof! that would NOT be fun okay.

syoknyaaa

baba : kalau ada tsunami, awak la kena dulu.
me : -_-"

since nature is something we cannot predict, i might have to lay off the 'duduk resort tgh2 laut' idea.

oh well, nothing wrong with dreaming ey?

and i am not suppose to have time to blog. bye and assalamualaikum

assalamualaikum!

spent my holidays at home. which is the onlyy right place to be during weekends. went to hari kraf kebangsaan on saturday. a yearly event i might say. tapi tahun nih x nampak pulak pertandingan lukis2 dan colour2 macam tahun lepas.

then i watched terima kasih cinta. tiket free, mesti maw pergi punya. this time duduk kat seat atas, x syok laaah. x nampak pun muka actors. i had to squint my eyes like crazy..or maybe it was just my rabun-ness.i love the dancing and colours involved. everyone did a great job playing their role, but maybe the story line wasn't perghh enough or something. lagipun it was based on the movie sepi and cinta. so you already know what's going to happen and how it was going to end and all.

the best thing about going to the theater that night was that i bumped into a childhood friend of mine! the last time we saw each other was when we were 8. can you imagine how long it has been? over 10 freaking years! best sangat. i'll upload a picture soon. pastuh bumped into kawan uitm pulak kan akak kan? ngee.

urgh. okay, i'm going to stop uploading pictures. merajuk dgn phone.

tengok laa..quality serious mcm urghh.

did some catching up with my girlfriends on sunday. eventho hazwani is studying in the sameeee faculty, jarang betul jumpa die. kalau jumpa pun, hye awk bye awk! oh well. all in all, it was a nice weekend especially when no homework was done =)

geared up

2011-03-02T07:10:00.000-08:00

1. common test dah habis. 4 paper je tapi rasa macam finals okay. 2 paper satu hari. sgt tak syok.

2. first paper..paper favourite la kan. accounts. nak on calculator, sekali..blank. tekan button on lagi. x kuar apa-apa ye tuan-tuan dan puan-puan. calculator habis battery. is it safe to call it every accounting students worst nightmare? or am i the only one here? i mean, i know i'm not really into the paper..but hellooo! i think i would want a calculator with batteries. serious macam tak pecaya..sbb x macam nak habis pun battery dia. siap ketuk2 lagi..pastuh tiba-tiba boleh on! ya Allah..alhmdllh sangat2 ( walaupun x reti jawab macam biasa). suspen suspen. nak bawak spare 2 3 calculator la lepas nih.

3. dah 2 kali weekend tak balik, senang kira dua bulan la kan. tsk. hari tuh mcm terdengar suara harisudin panggil ' kakak' masa tgh basuh baju! see why i have to be at home?? mana ada homesick, tak pun. saya cool je duduk shah alam. syok duduk sini. it's just people at home..they can't seem to live without me you know. so..no choice lah, wajib balik minggu nih. kalau tak..memang dengar satu family dok panggil2.

4. it feels nice to be surrounded by people you love and people who love you back =)

goodbye, assalamualaikum

studyinggg

2011-02-26T01:32:00.000-08:00

nitey nite

i'm sleepy as can be but it seems too early to be sleeping. it's not even 12 yet!

i am somehow no longer interested in chocolate bars. it doesn't tempt me anymore. wonder why. uitm ada buat jualan2 kat dsb. memang selalu okay ada jualan2 nih. mcm mana student uitm x abis duit. so tadi penuh dengan chocolatessss okay dewan tuh. ada la jugak jual kain. tapi majority jual chocolate. tapi nak try sample pun mcm x teringin. gedik betul. tapi tiba2 lalu chocolate fountain. okaay, yg nih memang x boleh resist la kan. lagi2 banana dipped with chocolate and sprinkled with nuts. yummeh!

Habis kelas pergi tgk movie. dah berzaman dah x tgk movie. therefore, i am free from the title loser for a while. we watched i am number 4. hero handsome, best, dan hero handsome. puas hati! siap boleh terjumpa mysara, kawan sekolah lagi kat dalam wayang. duduk sbelah2 jee. small world huh

terima kasih lah housemate tercinta dua orang nih bwak jalan2 =)

no classes for tomorrow sebab cancel. lect suruh studyy..minggu depan common test week. why x balik? pergh. jangan tanya bab2 balik rumah until next week. sekian.

okaay, 12 o'clock! not too early to sleep dah. goodnight everyone.

assalamualaikum =)

bosan tahap crazy.

2011-02-20T01:24:00.000-08:00

a promise is a few nice words arranged into a sentence to melt you. that's all there is to it.

sunday morning

2011-02-19T19:24:00.000-08:00

assalamualaikum!

a sunday morning in shah alam. errh..not so morning dah actually.

1. ima and ifa (housemates) cakap my tone sounds sarcastic most of time. mintak ampun mintak maaf kalau kawan2 terasaa. saya sememangnya begini. x sedar pun i sound sarcastic padahal hati baaaaaik suci bersih je nih. ngeeeee. i guess if i am being sarcastic, mesti org sakit hati gila kan. okay..so kena belajar bercakap dengan tone yg betul amalina.

2. semalam modul. i'm not going to be sarcastic and say it was fun. no no. but it wasn't that baaad after all.

3. kitorang dapat abg faci nih. nampak mcm baya-baya kita je tapi rupanya dah berbini beranak dah pun. awet muda betul. bahaya awet2 muda nih.

4. abg faci tuh boleh masuk kategori successful. he's below 30, he's married, he has a child and another one on its way, he's an engineering lecturer at uitm, he has many clubs and organizations under him, he has his own consultancy firm, oh and he has a tuition centre as well! all that and he's not even 30 years old peopleeee.

5. so this abg faci was telling us how furthering our education was important and all. then he told us he asked his wife to quit her job so that she can always be with him. okay la, sweeeet la. always wanting her with him and all tuh..loving la..loving..tapi bini die belajar penat penat pastuh suh quit? i mean..huh? lepas tuh die cakap die suruh bini die buat masters pulak. blur terus. why ask your wife to do masters when all you want her to do is be at home being a housewife.

6. sampai lepas modul asyik asyik teringat pasal bini abg tuh. i was like..'nak kena bagi taw laki aku siap2 nih haaa..aku study dari tadika, sekolah rendah sana sini, sekolah menengah, matrix, uitm nih bukan nak jadi housewife okaaay. so jangan gedik2 nak suh berhenti kerja segala.' . atleast bagi la kerja beberapa tahun ke. (cey, beberapa tahun je tuh nak kerja)

7. then i remembered this movie i watched. An Education. it's about a 16 year old girl in London who throws away her studies thinking she met the right man. This girl had ambitions as high as the sky. she wanted to to go to oxford, speak french and live in paris. macam2 la cita2 dia. she was the smartest in class too. one day she met this man. man okay, bukan boy. tua dah laki tuh. this man brought her to places she always wanted to go and did things that she's only been dreaming of to do. so she trusted this guy gila2 la. even her parents were in love with this man and trusted their daughter with him. one day laki tuh ajak kawen and die terus stop study semua. x amik final exams terus..even her parents agreed with the decision. pastuhhh..one fine day she found out the man was married with a child. and that he had done this many times with other women as well. she was different simply bcause she was 16 freaking years old. lepas tuh baru die kelam kabut nak sambung study semua. headmistress dah xnak amik die balik sbb die penah kata mcm studying nih boring and hard. lepas penat2 study, kena kerja pulak..which is boring and hard too. kira die berlagak gila la dah ada laki tuh. show off habis aa dgn kawan and cikgu semua. so she had to study on her own with the help from a teacher who believed in her potential. memang struggle laa habis habisan la. pastuh die dapat laa masuk oxford and all (kata cerita, mestilah ending indah belaka)

8. so i concluded, education is just plain important..that's all. doesn't really matter what/who you want to be when you grow up. yeah you might get lucky and get married to a wealthy man (muda ye muda) who might ask you to just stay home, cook and take care of the kids. but theres no guarantee that he'll be around with you for the rest of your life weh. anything can happen with a blink of an eye. there might be one day where you'll have to stand on your own two feet and that's when you're grateful you went through so much to get a scroll.

9. x kisah la if studying is boring and hard pun. it will definitely pay off.

just updates

2011-02-16T04:27:00.000-08:00

1. rekod balik rumah setiap minggu bakal dicemar minggu nih. ada modul. 8 am till 6 pm. satu hari la senang kira kan. syoknyaaaaaaaaaaaa

2. minggu nih x boleh balik. dah cakap dah eh? saja nak cakap berkali kali.

3. baru tgk cerita hantu kak limah balik rumah. so baru faham jokes org dok buat. cecite cecite cecite!

4. korang pergi praktikal camne? jalan kaki jugak ke? LALA.

5. kalau duduk dalam library main game pun terasa intelligent. kena pergi selalu la camni.

6. rapid kl dah upgrade skrg. luas betul. siap ada mikrofon utk pakcik driver cakap2! cool sgt. ngee. bus yg upgrade pun jadi la dari tunggu upgrade kereta. eh kejap, tunggu nak upgrade jadi pemandu kereta pun tah bila kan.

7. tetaaapi, lif kat faculty memang x upgrade-upgrade lagi. 7 to 11 flight of stairs weh. pastuh korang buat - buat tanya pulak kan kenapa kurus sgt kan.

okay bye nak jadi nerd jap.

maulidur rasul

2011-02-15T01:54:00.000-08:00

salam maulidur rasul,

bumped into this on i luv islam, and thought of sharing

Khutbah terakhir Nabi Muhammad S.A.W

Khutbah ini disampaikan pada 9hb Zulhijjah, tahun 10 Hijriah di Lembah Uranah, Gunung Arafah :

"Wahai manusia, dengarlah baik-baik apa yang hendak kukatakan, Aku tidak mengetahui apakah aku dapat bertemu lagi dengan kamu semua selepas tahun ini. Oleh itu dengarlah dengan telti kata-kataku ini dan sampaikanlah ia kepada orang-orang yang tidak dapat hadir disini pada hari ini.

Wahai manusia, sepertimana kamu menganggap bulan ini dan Kota ini sebagai suci, maka anggaplah jiwa dan harta setiap orang Muslim sebagai amanah suci.Kembalikan harta yang diamanahkan kepada kamu kepada pemiliknya yang berhak.Janganlah kamu sakiti sesiapapun agar orang lain tidak menyakiti kami lagi. Ingatlah bahawa sesungguhnya, kamu akan menemui Tuhan kamu dan Dia pasti membuat perhitungan diatas segala amalan kamu. Allah telah mengharamkan riba, oleh itu segala urusan yang melibatkan riba dibatalkan sekarang.

Berwaspadalah terhadap syaitan demi keselamatan agama kamu. Dia telah berputus asa untuk menyesatkan kamu dalam perkara-perkara besar, maka berjaga-jagalah supaya kamu tidak mengikuti dalam perkara-perkara kecil.

Wahai Manusia Sebagaimana kamu mempunyai hak atas isteri kamu mereka juga mempunyai hak di atas kamu. Sekiranya mereka menyempurnakan hak mereka keatas kamu, maka mereka, juga berhak untuk diberi makan dan pakaian dalam Susana kasih sayang. Layanilah wanita-wanita kamu dengan baik dan berlemah-lembutlah terhadap mereka kerana sesungguhnya mereka adalah teman dan pembantu kamu yang setia. Dan hak kamu atas mereka ialah mereka sama sekali tidak boleh memasukkan orang yang kamu tidak sukai kedalam rumah kamu dan dilarang melakukan zina.

Wahai Manusia, dengarlah bersungguh-sungguh kata-kataku ini, sembahlah Allah, dirikanlah sembahyang lima kali sehari, berpuasalah di bulan Ramadhan, dan tunaikankanlah zakat dari harta kekayaan kamu. Kerjakanlah Ibadah Haji sekiranya kamu mampu. Ketahui bahawa setiap Muslim adalah saudara kepada Muslim yang lain. Kamu semua adalah sama; tidak seorang pun yang lebih mulia dari yang lainnya kecuali dalam Taqwa dan beramal saleh.

Ingatlah, bahawa, kamu akan menghadap Allah pada suatu hari untuk dipertanggung jawabkan diatas segala apa yang telah kamu kerjakan. Oleh itu Awasilah agar jangan sekali-kali kamu terkeluar dari landasan kebenaran selepas ketiadaaku.

Wahai Manusia, tidak ada lagi Nabi atau Rasul yang akan datang selepasku dan tidak akan ada lain agama baru. Oleh itu wahai manusia, nilailah dengan betul dan fahamilah kata-kataku yang telah aku sampaikan kepada kamu. Sesungguhnya aku tinggalkan kepada kamu dua perkara yang sekiranya kamu berpegang teguh dan mengikuti kedua-duanya, necaya kamu tidak akan tersesat selama-lamanya. Itulah ALQURAN dan SUNNAHKU.

Hendaklah orang-orang yang mendengar ucapanku, menyampaikan pula kepada orang lain. Semoga yang terakhir lebih memahami kata-kataku dari mereka yang terus mendengar dariku. Saksikanlah Ya Allah, bahawasanya telah aku sampaikan risalahMu kepada hamba-hambaMU.

mood : mendung/hujan/ ikut cuaca kat luar

ada di rumah, uitm baik hati bagi cuti khamis jumaat. sayang ktrg la tuh.

terasa tak da semangat nak menulis lately. entah kenapa.

my day was all bright and shiny, until i realised

1. i can't drive. i can't even park the stupid car. loser.

2. i am useless. despite my name being 'cahaya harapan'. i guess i don't live up to my name.

3. i am useless. i realised this many times so let's just put it in each sentence.

4. i can't cook

5. i can't balance anything ( referring to accounting)

6. i can't balance anything ( referring to life)

7. i'm no good to family, friends and society.

8. i have no talents

9. i have no looks

10. my glasses are getting thicker

11. i'm so slow and forgetful.

12. i'm freaking twenty two.

13. it's actually a never ending list but i'll stop.

but i'm always thankful to have my family and friends. they're basically the two things i'm proud off. everything else is just a big mess.

melaka with love

2011-02-04T06:20:00.000-08:00

went out with my besties today. we somehow manage to linger around ( xnak guna term lepak kan) OU which closed around 50% of their shops today. it's okay, no harm done, just money saved. girls can always fill up their day with excessive talking you see. so money was just spent on drinks and food and parking tickets.

just came back from melaka yesterday. we had a loveeeely trip regardless of the number of times we've been there. ignoring the hotels there, my parents decided to book a home stay instead. experience sake they said. and it was certainly something to remember. we were at first doubtful about the house when our bags filled up almost half of the bedroom, portraits hanging on the walls, the floor also had spaces in between..so when you look down you can actually see the bottom of the house (reminding me of scary movies astro ria has been playing lately) . oh, there was also a special place where you dry your clothes. it's on the attic or something. there's this stairway leading up there. i don't really know how to describe it since i didn't have the guts to up there. harisudin said he could feel drips of water fall on him.

the owner of the house is makcik juriah. oh, i stayed at kampung morten btw. so makcik juriah stays with us too you see. she's probably in her 50s. a very nice lady. willing to share her house with us and that includes the kitchen and everything. she kept offering us to her food and all. she was also willing to share about her family and past with us. all in all, it was a memorable place to stay.

all the houses there was so cute. they really look after their houses. decorations seemed to be a must there. we were walking around the kampung one morning, and most of the residents where outside cleaning/gardening/adding more decorations to their house.

seee, they even had replicas of their houses.

then there was this one house which made their house a living museum. it's called villa sentosa. look it up okay! this was certaaaainly an experience you don't get often. pak rahim (the house owner) entertained us personally. he was so absorbed with our group maybe because we were the first group for that day and baba being a reporter and all asked him lots of questions. he enjoyed answering each one of them. die excited sgt sebab ktrg pun excited dgr die explain and all. he kept on saying ' en rashid, you're now my very bestfriend'. haha..it was so sweeet! best saaaangat die nihh. macam-macam nak cakap tapi i'm not going to bother elaborating sbb dah panjaaaang gila. you guys must've stopped during the first para kan? ishhhh korang nih. but if you made it till here. thanks for reading =)

soal cuaca, keypad dan fast food

2011-01-31T00:01:00.000-08:00

CUACA

pergh. habaq sat macam mana nak buat homework bila cuaca macam kat cameron highland nih haa. musykil2. macam mana org dok cameron buat assignment. *alasan*

KEYPAD

terasa macam perlu beli phone jenis touch2 screen nih la, sebab keypad biasa bising sgt. eceyh

amalina : *texting sambil tekan keypad slow2 xnak bagi dgr macam biz women*

baba : amalina!

amalina : *opss, gagal nampaknya*

baba : kalau ada pertandingan taip message, mesti awak number satu amalina. baba number dua. hehe

amalina : -_-". ngeee. aish, baba la number satu. keypad baba lagi byk dr amalina. (pandai cover x)

aspen. smart kaan? ada qwerty and touch screen. tsk.

kenapa harga die bukan 400 ke 500 ke.

FAST FOOD

i was thinking, since i haven't drank caffeine in quite a while, why don't i cut on my fast food intake as well.

so rakan-rakan, nak keluar jalan jangan ajak saya makan fast food okayh? kite makan good food je taw. chewah. dah besar panjang dah..xkkan hidup nak rotate around fast food lagi kan. x sihat okay! bukan lah nak berhenti terus, tapi atleast nak kena kurangkan jugak. bila dah teringin sangat baru makan. tapi susah betul nak stop fast food kat shah alam. merata rata ada fast food. pastuh, fast food je yg ada drive through. cuba buat nasi lemak cinta sayang versi drive through pulak. confirm laku! tapi atleast kalau makan jugak fast food, tukar carbonated drinks tuh dgn milo ke pape..sebab i think the combo of burgers and gas drinks are just wrong. (wah wah, macam 22 tahun sgt amalina).

ktrg adik beradik memang akan kena hentam dengan bonda tercinta kalau makan fast food. hari tu pegi sunway, and we needed to use wireless..so makan la kat mcd. semata - mata sebab nak guna wireless ye, bukan nak makan filet-o-fish. lalala

umi : makan apa tadi?

ktrg tiga : *diam, buat2 x dengar*

umi : hei, umi tanya pi sunway makan apa tadi?

amalina dan harisudin : ngee. ktrg nak kena guna wireless tadi umi.

aqilah : tipu, tak jadi guna pun tadi.

amalina : ish! gunaaa la. kalau x xde lah makan mcd.

umi : ha, elok la tuuuuh. sihat sgt lah makan benda alah tuh. berapa kali dah makan fast food bulan nih! makan la, makan. sakit ke apa nanti umi xnak tau.

amalina : ngee..tapi ktrg makan yg paling sht sekali kat situ, makan filet-o-fish je. pastuh minum air milo je umi. sihat la tuh.

aqilah : i minum air kosong je. bwk siap2. (makcik ni kira nak selamat je padahal die sakit tekak)

harisudin : fries pun ktrg x amik. ha ha

umi : ha, pandai la awk semua. kalau sihat takdelah die panggil fast food!

ktrg tiga : -_-"

p/s : tapi kalau nampak kat mcd jangan la kecoh2 kata 'arituh kata xnak makan!'. bukan kata xnaaak, kata nak kuraaaangkan. ha ha, assalamualaikum =)

pfft (3)

2011-01-29T21:37:00.000-08:00

i was suppose to write something else, that wasn't so emotional based. but oh well, since it was bugging my thoughts.

it's simply amazing how some people just cut off their family because of love. seriously? cinta ke tuh? cinta category mana eh? you're willing to live the rest of your life without your family? leave a family you've known for decades to live with someone you've known for months? amazing betul. mohabbat punya pasal, maths pun fail terus. nak kata x faham..tipu. sebab faham sgt. tapi tolong lah, if you're really in love, you make it happen. you don't just abandon your family. ulang suara, you make it happen. you make the impossible be possible. you try your best turning hatred to acceptance.

or maybe sebab cinta itu buta? alolo..romantic sangaaaaaaaat. tapi jatuh cinta dengan orang lain masa sedang bercinta bertahun tahun dengan orang lain? pergh. dah lost dah, serious x faham dah weh. memang betul2 buta la kan cinta nih? buta sampai x sedar dah bercinta dengan orang lain. pergh. i've always viewed love as something sacred. tapi nih jauh dari sacred dah nih, ni dah kira selfish dah. dua benda yang lain gila. cara orang bercinta lain-lain mungkin.

pfft, sukahatikaulahlabu.

to the women,

2011-01-26T08:46:00.000-08:00

to the women who considers herself as 'not jiwang',

to the women who fell in love with my baba,

to the women who carried me around with her for 9 months,

to the women who had to bare the pain of giving birth to me, my brother and my sister. but i know i wasn't the toughest one. harisudin yg paling payah kan. apa la you harisudin! ngee.

to the women who decided with my baba that i should be named cahaya harapan. i guess that means you put a lot of hope in me.

to the women who had to put up with my crying from a baby till now. natural thing from birth i tell you

to the women who made alphabet cards herself, bought tonnes those set books and read them all to me again and again. 'red boats, yellow boats,

to the women who brought me to her art classes. 'umi macam mana nak dapat colour biru?hijau?purple??'

to the women who answered my never ending questions, 'umi! amalina dah baca al-fatihah dah kan, pastuh kena baca apa?' 'umi! amalina tgh rukuk nih, bila kena bangun straight balik?!'

to the women who sent and fetch me to and from school till i was seventeen. forgive me for making faces when i was the only one left at school because you had meetings

to the women who hugged me like the proudest mother in the world during my very ordinary upsr, pmr and spm results.

to the women who help decide what i should do when i wasn't really thinking right. 'mcm mana aa umi?' dari besar sampai kecik memang x ada soalan lain nak tanya.

to the women who couldn't held her tears when she sent me off for the first time to somewhere far from home to study

to the women who somehow convinced me that results isn't everything each time i was frustrated with it

to the women who talks senses to me when i'm out of them

to the women whom i know will be right there beside me even when the world turns it back to me

happy birthday.

since i'm 16, i guess that makes you around 40. fair and square =)

khas utk bakal suami.

2011-01-25T09:16:00.000-08:00

assalamualaikum.

kehadapan bakal suami,

i lambat lagi nak kawen. so boleh la you kumpul duit byk byk beli mini cooper byk2,

p/s :pictures masih lagi from google and tumblr. nnt bila bakal suami dah bagi, baru pictures dari camera sendiri. lalala

first impressions

2011-01-24T08:59:00.000-08:00

don't judge a book by it's cover and first impression.

i think both of them actually contradicts with each other.

judge a book by it's cover and first impression

okay, now it's basically the same. kan? no matter how you say don't judge a book by it's cover, people are bound to continue doing that. how can they not? it's the same as first impression right? forgive me if i'm wrong but everyone is entitled to their own views and impressions on others. wait wait. entitled to SOME extend may i add. don't be too dramatic judging others. put in mind that we don't even know the person. trust your instincts? x pyh mengada ngada la.

my impressions are always wrong! kalau rasa orang tuh cam sombong or x best mesti orang tuh turn out to be so nice and cool. kalau rasa orang tuh baik hati and all nice stuff mesti...oh wait. i'm usually right with this one. yes yes, yang ni selalu dapat betul. the point is, we really need to get to know the person. don't simply throw random acquisitions and start hating them just because of your 1st impression towards them. everyone deserves a chance non?

first impressions from friends on me :

1. Sombong. salah! bila perlu je sombong.

2. Gedik. Ni miza dari matrix yg cakap! nak kena betul! gedik? seriously? gedik dgn yg dekat di hati sahaja okay. but this impression really got me worried, i can deal with ppl calling me sombong and all. tapi gedik? oh tidak.

3. Macam pandai bila pakai speck. asal pakai speck pandai, asal pakai speck pandai.

this was taken during matrix. tak! bukan alim, just pemalas nak selempang2 tudung okay. serious pemalas betuul. setiap hari pegi class mcm tuh. kalau rajin baru buat silang butterfly la ape la. haa, back to the point. gedik ke tuh? tudung pink tuh miza okay. obvious sgt kan dia lg gedik kan? lalala.but my first impression of her was gila garang. yg pegang lips tuh. haha..ha, yg ni mmg gedik. kan izan kan. *rindu*

p/s : finally updated CHOCOBUMBUM. do check it out . off back to homework, assalamualaikum =)

children nowadays?

2011-01-22T08:19:00.000-08:00

budak-budak kecik skrg memang pandai menjawab kan.

aqilah : recycle lah

amalina : merepek ape awk nih?

aqilah : do you want to pay for oxygen in the future?

amalina : -_-"

three

amalina : harisudin, jom buat biz dgn ** nak?

harisudin : jom2, nanti kita ajak dia join kita.

aqilah : you guys dah buat contract ke?

both of us : contract ape plak dah?

aqilah : nak buat biz kena la sign contract. kena ada agreement. igt boleh suka2 ajak orang join ke?

both of us : -_-"

baiklah adinda, goodnite, assalamualaikum

cuti thaipusam

2011-01-19T20:18:00.000-08:00

bila cuti tak dapat balik rumah,

1. tgk luar tgkp, mana taw ada perarakan pegi batu caves lalu shah alam ke.

2. bgn pagi, terkejut dan terbangga sebentar dgn diri sendiri sebab bangun awal. jadi suri rumah tangga sekejap. bosan, lalu tidur balik. lebih baik tidur dari buang masa ye. sekian.

3. enjoying semester 6 sebab dhiah kata sem 8 nanti serious x best dan juga busy. betul? oleh itu, let's take it slow and easy. semester 6 bukan datang berkali kali. sekali je (insyaAllah)

4. rindu kat diana qing hua. tsk. tapi filem dah habis. jpa oh jpa, bila nak bagi duit beli filem?

5. tgk luar tgkp lagi, musykil kenapa uitm macam meriah sgt. okay, ni dah kire pathetic dah nih.

i better go do something that doesn't include constantly looking out the window. bye.assalamualaikum.

kata kata.

2011-01-17T09:36:00.000-08:00

let me make my own mistakes. it somehow feels better to put the blame on my shoulders, rather than on someone else.

just sentences.

2011-01-16T09:02:00.000-08:00

1. baru cuti dua hari berbekalkan homework pun otak dah bergerak dengan kelajuan 10 km/j. hebat sungguh amalina. mungkin kalau xdak homework baru otak gerak laju2.

2. setiap kali teringin nak bawak kereta, ingatkan balik diri sendiri nak lintas jalan pun x berapa nak master, jalan pun mcm ular kena palu, bawak trolley kat supermarket pun accident dengan trolley lain. cancel niat utk keselamatan orang ramai.

3. tgh2 cari tempat praktikal, terjumpa accounting firm yang dua tiga minit dari rumah . tapi macam too good to be true la pulak kan? pls pls pls offer internship. i really hope they do. ( and i hope they're nice, i hope they give me allowance, i hope they give me real jobs to do)

good night, assalamualaikum

okay, i just knew you can have dinner..get married and all up in the sky. i know, ketinggalan zaman betul. tapi x ada kat malaysia lagi kan? please jangan kata ada, rasa macam loser sgt kalau x taw ada.

fancy having dinner up there?

why not?

it's just 50 metres up

seee? it's like a normal fancy restaurant. it can seat 22 to 32 people.

looks like you won't even notice that you're up there

tapi untuk orang2 cool je la. yang gayat tak perlu cari pasal.

you can even get married up there too.

erm. maybe that's a bit too adventurous ey.

don't worry. i won't get married up in the sky. i'll be sure to do it on land

assalamualaikum!

i had loads in mind through out the week. tapi balik2 rumah lupa dah nak tulis apa. ngee. biasa la, kat rumah tenang sgt sampai homework pun buat2 x nampak. it's only right to ignore hw at home. x patut ye buat hw kat rumah. jangan buat weh jangan.

x puas hati dgn cerita hindustan tv3 hari nih, awat nak kena letak cerita yg dah tgk 10 kali tgk? ( tapi tgh tgk lagi kan? ngeeee) . baiklah, i came across this get to know bloggers post kat ruby's blog.

BLOGGER GEGARKAN 'U'

by ben ashaari.

1. belajar mana? jurusan?tahun?

UiTM Shah Alam, accounting, tahun ketiga.

2. asal mana? umur?

x pernah reti nak jawab soalan asal mana ni macam mana skema jwpn dia? duduk mana ke..lahir mana ke ape. okay, abaikan. umur mcm biasa lah, 16 tahun. sekian.

3. kenapa amik jurusan tu?

kenapa perlu tanya kenapa? sebab saya suka amik sesuatu yang saya x suka. lala

4. cita cita

bercita-cita biar beberapa ( jawapan orang x pasti apa cita-cita dia). i want to do something that i look fwd to every single day. xnak kerja yang asyik nak cari alasan untuk mc. tapi mana taw besar besar nanti jadi accountant ke, auditor ke, tax officer ke, jadi art supplier ke, focus kat chocobumbum ke, surirumah tangga bertauliah ke. macam-macam pulak dah.

okay, nak sambung tgk hindustan.
