Wedding seasons and reality in Malaysia

Be aware, be aware, the wedding season is coming soon to Malaysia. Haha.

 

Malaysian's wedding compared to Japanese wedding is totally more merrier as the more people attend to witness the happiest day of the couple's life. Malay weddings are bigger in scale, actually in any scale-Budget, Venue, VIPs. It's more of a culture than a ceremony.

 

Malays are mostly muslims here in Malaysia. Therefore, the ceremony is likewise to consist of compulsary Aqad(something like Sales & Purchase agreement) and of course the lunch/dinner, originally as a sedeqah(alms) to the guests who had take effort to attend and celebrate the married couple. That is the compulsary ceremony. The main reason to a wedding ceremony is to of course, celebrate the couple who are accomplishing one of the BIG task and to prevent the spread of rumours of the two couples when they are spotted in a "married couple" manner elsewhere.(alaaaa.. macam pegang2 tangan gitu-> holding hands between a man and a woman who are their ajnabi is a SIN. Please do not ask why people are still sinning even though it is clearly a sin. Kawin sajalah!)

 

Anyways, "so-called" traditional and culture weddings consists of the below;

1. Merisik (Seeking the availability of a girl of the house)

-> Of course, usually the male side will have an informal meet (maybe the groom and the future FIL) to confirm the sincerity and to confirm his sanity of making sure he knows what his getting into===> Marriage!

2. Bertunang (Engagement)

-> The normal engagement comes with an engagement ring. This is mostly not Islamic, because there is no such rule to BOOKING a bride :P. More of a Western Culture, mainly for the following reasons;

- Both families have time to get to know each other better instead of from the sons/daughter's story. Reality check! Both families have the right to know what they ae gtting into, of course.

- To buy some time for the groom to get arrangements in terms of MONEY. Haha. Well, not everyone is a Rich Man's Son, right?

3. Nikah(Aqad)

As per stated ealier, this is a Sales&Purchase ceremony between the Father of the Bride to the Groom. When the father of the bride is unavailable of any such reasons, the next male family in line isresponsible to take the Father's position. Mainly; Brother/Uncles/2nd Uncles/Judge.

- Please be aware, if the Bride is an illegitimate child(anak luar nikah), the Father has NO RIGHT to marry of his daugther. Because he is not the lawful father of the child. In this case, the Father's position is directly exchanged to a JUDGE.

- Please also be aware that if the Sales & Purchase (Akad) ceremony is not complete, the bride and groom MUST re-Akad before they could do an intercourse or even bear a child! If they do not re-Akad correctly, the are sinned to Adaultry and the decendants are not to be family-named to the father. If the S&P ceremony is not complete in a valid manner, (correct Wali, enough and correct Witness, a valid tok Kadi etc.) the decendants correct status will not be cleared and will continuously evolve to a non-valid relationship. Nau'zubillah!

4. Reception (I will skip the merewang, marhaban etc. because they are optional just to make the ceremony merrier)

Lunch/Dinner depending on the schedule of the reception. Pergghh.. Malays are so damn competitive when it comes to reception ceremony. Of, course the married couples are considered "Raja Sehari", they are accomplanied with the "kompang", cute escort children, to their Bridal Seat where theVIPs, elders, relatives throw a few drops of rosewater to their hands(when sometimes  I do see them throwing at the couple's attire) as a kind of blessing. This culture more originated from the Hindu's and the Jawa culture. Hey, we are 1Malysia ALL the time, eversince a LONG time ago :P

Eventhough the reception is also a type of alm to the guests and celebration to the couples, may I remind that if you start to eat before the Raja Sehari, you are claimed to be a Rebellious Servant. Haha! No, we will never throw you out of the reception. Hehe.

The "Grand"ness of the wedding also differs by their financial status. For example, a-little-under-waiged-family would have to cook for their own guests, seek help from their neighbours to save budget. The atmosphere would appear to be merrier despite the hot/rainy weather in Malaysia. So, the set of mind is important when you attend their weddings. Get ready to dirt some shoes!

A-little-above-waiged-family may be able to tender a caterer so that they do not have to cook for themselves. Sometimes, they might be doing the reception in their own yard instead in a town hall in the community. This also varies by the price of per head count of the catering which can range from RM5.50~RM20.00/head???

An-Over-Waiged-Family may be able to get the receptions in big famous Halls right smack in the City. They are probably able to rent the halls, pay for the expensive props and high quality-tv like photographers and video makers. Haha.

No, I am not prejudice(betul ke?). I am no Sa-Betsu. Just that upon my observations all the years, the grandness/royalty-like of the reception can be concluded to the above :)

 

It doesn't matter which level of Finance and the way the reception would be like, it is important to not burden yourself in the making. It is so not worth to take up personal loans or pinjam dengan Ah-Long just to make "superb" wedding. It's the thought that counts :)

 

Why am I doing this post? Because I am partially in-charge of my sister in law wedding this Sunday. May all ends well, Amin!

My thought of Japan Earthquake/Tsunami

Fuyoooooo...

Lama giller tak update. Padahal dah ade iPhone. Heh. Mungkin sebab aku dah start naik motor pi kerja. Well, membonceng jelah tpnye. Ok... Nanti akan aku cuba update on the bike :P

Oh, lupa hari ni aku drive. Cause Abg went for blood donation for Pak Ngah's open heart surgery. Correction from previous port: surgery bukan di IJN, tp di SJMC. So, Annual leave lah Abg.

Oh, gambar di atas? Omiyage (Read:buah tangan) dari Jepun. Tachibana-san, our group rep di Japan. Speaking of Japan, yes I know everyone has been talking about it. Tsunami on the 11th Mar 2011.

Loads of videos have been updated on Youtube. No need to have NHK or Japan local tv. But I missed those tvs, how their people love to make analysis, datas -> making viewers learn a lot about the current condition. Bukan seperti CCTV (China news) yang tak habis2 memaparkan footage of the aftermath etc. well, actually you can't blame them cause Japan has not been very open in terms of their media. so, all the other part of the world doesn't really know the actual condition there. Oh, belum lagi mengambil kira language-barrier mereka. So, NHK, interested in taking me up for translator? hehe kidding!

The nuclear explosion was brought up by Malaysia tabloid besar2an tau. Padahal, reading a few Malaysians story in Japan, it wasn't that bad. Hehehe..

Actually, I was so touched by Japanese despite having hit by Earth-quake and Tsunami, they are still strong! Talk about the strong bond among them. They are the only country I heard with NO CRIME report eventhough in "darurat". Wow! I have known about their culture, but you can see it clearly during emergency times. How they are very considerate and helpful regardless their looks.

Menyesal la pulak aku tengok FB ari nih. First Lady kata, Tsunami di Jepun adalah satu pengajaran-> I tamau komen. I just know that bukan slaah mereka dilahirkan/duduk di negara dalam lingkaran gunung berapi. Dan mereka telah berusaha untuk face the fact that they will encounter earth-quake and tsunami. So, pengajaran apakah?

Ijou!

Hey look! With just one update, I get to update ALLLLLLLLLLLL my social network to keep my fans friends entertained :P My hard work has actually pulled through after a long series of Seach (thank you to Google) Plus, I am now able to update using my iPhone :P (means; More updates on Yuni!! *slap*

Sawajiri Erika is in Malaysia for holiday :P

HI!

Today I want to talk about a Japanese Female Artist which I have watched her Dramas on TV during University years. However, after coming home back to Malaysia, I was a bit stunned of what she became after 6 years...

Her name is 沢尻エリカ(Sawajiri Erika). Last time I saw her in a Drama is when she is playing in the Main Role of "1 Litter of Tears". That maybe was her first big appearance for me. As I wasn't really a big fan of models etc.

However, I was really touched by the Drama. And my first impression was she's an innocent girl who maybe become a big IDOL one day.

But, lately while I was reading news online. I was a name which is familiar ut I never took any concern of the Artis name. It was Sawajiri Erika. I said, WoW! There was so many news related to her about her being Married and Divorced, stubborn and pain in the ass.

I was shocked! I mean, she was this little sweet girl and yet after the years, she turned into Japan Monster! hahaa...

I mean, what the hell happened to her? Are the news all just gossips? Is the rumors true?

I guess it must be true. Since she went on TV expressing her regret to the world with tears on her cheek. But, still there are still people saying that she was only pretending to be regretful and she she was insincere with what she said. There were also conflicts which people spread out the Survey she has written in the internet. It was written, My Best Act: Able to cry fast(早なき). Oh, people on the net are just so mean.

Well, I don't really know which source to trust. But, I just hope that she will change to be  the sweet innocent girl I used to know. I mean, she's beautiful and sweet. If she could have just be nice, she would have excelled in entertainment Industry :)



Just my 2 cents.

Started Tumblr!!

Haha.. Another place to throw out things on my mind. Actually dari dulu I wonder what the hell is TUMBLR. I see it not any different than a blog only tinier. Ya, saya tidaklah sebegitu up to date.

But, this evening, Aimi, my Sis showed me her TUMBLR on her iPhone, terus jatuh chenta! kah kah kah..
I find it tak sebesar blogspot, so easier to update using iPhone. Facebook is another option, tp agak cramp. Kalau tgk guna PC, oklah... but cannot bring PC every where, right? Twitter pon ok jer... Just that to view pics only by links.

So, leaves me to tumbler. Not that I want to tell the whole world about myself, just that it's fun to share... Especially about Yuni :P

(yah, mcmlah sebelum ni tak show-off dengan Yuni in other social networks..)

Facebook: Good to update status yang memerlukan pendapat (supaya orang dapat komen dengan senang dan senang dibaca) Good to send out invitation, to create groups(senang untuk aktiviti) Good to share a BUNDLE of pitures especially after a wedding... heheh

Twitter: Good to update status pendek (limited word) Good to stalk or get gossips of Artist (eh, I do that!) Tidak se-packed FB, so you won't have to receive notifications when some just wants to "like" your status.. lol! I use Twitter to get latest updates on Traffic Conditions everytime before going back home.. hihi

Blog: Good for loooooooong story telling/ bragging/ information sharing... An easy way to explain longer and more detail so that you don't need to answer any comments everytime. However, not everyone reads your blog. So, if perlukan FAST feedback... You won't get it FAST on the spot.

Tumblr: Easier to update that blog. However, everything is one at a time. Simple to get your thoughts straight at that precise timing. Tapi, kalau nak simpan hati dan perasaan lama2 dan luahkan sekali gus. Better take some time to open your PC and start the "karangan" in Blog. heheh

For some, too much social network accounts can be a hassle. Like my parents, they created FB Account and forgets the User ID and password 5 min later. LOL! Ok, ada banyak sangat Account so do not know how to balance or even focus on one.

To me it's just a matter of dividing your priorities and get to know how often you are online and the method of being online(PC, iPhone, BB, iPad etc.) and not to forget how fast your internet provider is. hehe (Currently, I am happy with uMobile after more than 2 years)

p/s: When you work with computers everyday, you tend to have al social networks account.. hehe (macam sayalah!)

Mizz Nina dan Noh Hujan... 頑張ってください！応援しています。

Hari ini saya tertarik dengan kisah(gossip?) yang dikeutarakan oleh beautifulnara.com .Ia berkisahkan tentang satu majalah yang menyiarkan gambar Noh Hujan dan Mizz Nina.

I heard about the topic from my Aunt last saturday when we were on our way to Seremban to visit Granny and MakcikAbg (we called her this because she used to dress and cut her hair like a boy when she was younger). Yes, my MakNgah is a very updated person. She knows almost all the good news regardless of politics, local, international, islamic and entertainment. I think she has time to read a lot now after PENCEN (oh, wait... need to minus the time she takes care of her grandchildren)

Anyway, I heard from MakNgah that Mizz Nina is the daughter of one of the 10 richest man in Malaysia(Wow!) I guess fans do know better than me... So I am totally not going to explain her profile/biography here. That is not the main point.

The main point is that media(to get issues controversial) seems to like to put up headlines like "Noh patut cermin diri sebelum pikat Mizz Nina" WTH? It is so obvious that they are pointing to the inside of his wallet. You think Noh tuh miskin merempat ke? Not that I am backing him up. I am trying to keep cool here. I don't even know his family/finance status. But I know that "Human does not have the right to condem others by comparing their wallets or bank accounts. Rezeki is based on usaha, doa and tawakkal. Long happy marriage is based on "ikhlas".

My Abg, he was not a Dato' child. He was a normal, well, probably slightly under the standard privilege line. I understood his feelings when we were friend. I also understood his feelings when he went for interview with my parents(gulp!). I understand how small he must have felt stepping his foot in our house. Just because he was comparing his bank account to mine and my parents. I think everyone of us will have that kind of feeling (at least a tiny bit) when we step on to their shoes. But, I am not saying that it's BAD to be humble... Just not good to be too humble till the point you lose your self-esteem.

I kept on saying and encouraging him that he has too much to offer to us despite MONEY and MONEY is not everything in LOVE and LIFE (of courselah we need money to live). With effort, determination- usaha, doa, tawakkal- Insyaallah, rezeki will be rolling your way. Means that, Noh... Just because they think that you cannot stand shoulders to shoulders (might I say bank accounts to bank accounts... haha!), it doesn't mean that you cannot strive for it. It does not mean that there is no other way to survive... It's all up to you!

The main reason for me to write this is basically because I could understand the basic situation.

And I hope that for those Gagak and Merpati lovers... Stand up to what you believe, Usaha Doa and Tawakkal for the best in life. Put aside negative comments, headlines, sarcastic assumptions etc. and proceed to strive for your dreams. Insyaallah, the effort will pay off.

Amaran: Entry lemah semangat diusik Syaitan

Ari nih aku terbuat silap kat tempat kerja dan di bambu oleh User. Pertama kali rasanya pernah di-bambu secara direct email. Wow! Shockkk...

Ok, mungkin aku masih lg mentah dari segi Customer Service. Hello? Baru 6 bulan bekerja dan 4 tahun penglaman di Jepun. Nah.. I am still considered a Malaysian when it comes to Japan Service Level. Huhuh...

Atau adakah aku nih jenis ambik tak kesah? Ambek tak endah? Yang pasti aku punye Comprehension agak lemah. Memang nak orang dengar cerita aku aje. Heh, siapa tidak?

Mungkin aku lebih sesuai jadi Ketua sesebuah syarikat. Sebab aku tak suka orang memberi arahan. Tetapi suka memberi arahan. wah, Fieza dah mula berkata2 memberitahu keinginan.

Sebenarnya, aku tengah memikirkan masa depan... sama ada masih nak berada dalam bidang Customer Service atau ke bidang WAHM. Oh, dalam hati? Memang nak masuk bidang WAHM. Tapi, ada jugarasa risau tentang keadaan $$$$$ yang akan datang. Risau juga sama ada hubby mampu menanggung kami semua.

Tp, WAHM... bukan SAHM! So, aku masih akan bekerja sebenarnya. Cuma adakah business akan stabil? Aku tahu aku yakin dengan masa depan.... Sebab tu lah aku berani menyatakan dan set goal untuk jadi WAHM.

Alah, ni mainan Setan je nih. Baru di-bambu kat Ofis, dah lemah semangat. Caitt! Ada 6 bulan lg nak habis Kontrak. Dalam masa 6 bulan tuh, cepat2 lah praktis business!

Kepada diri sendiri: Berusahalah! (translation kepada Ganbare!)

 

Ya Allah, jauhkan lah aku dari gangguan syaitan.

Update geram to certain Docs in Malaysia

Hi Everyone,

My latest update for the past 2 weeks maybe?

30th Oct 2010 (Sat)
Had to do OT due to my L-O-U-D mouth main2 ckp dgn Manager that I am able to do OT dengan syarat Yuni boleh dibawa ke Ofis. Tuh diaaa... I was stuck at office doing nothing but playing with Yuni while surfing the internet. A 6.5 hours of BOREDOM. *sigh* But because of double pay on Saturday, I got a total of 13hours pay that day. Alhamdulillah.

Started the OT at 7 am and it ended at 1.30 pm. Yes, Yuni was at her limits. Mom and Dad picked us up at Cyberjaya and it didn't take us any longer that reaching the PLUS tol on the way back when Yuni dozed of to Happly-land.

Since hubby is in Beruas sending my MIL back to hometown, mummy and Yuni spent the whole 2 days together. Unfortunately, that night about 2:30 am (Sun) ... I F-E-L-L down hitting the back of my head on the batu marmar floor when I was about to get on the first step of the 3-step stairs.

No, it was not me being groggy. It was my leg F-A-I-L-ing on me. I had this problem eversince Yuni was 1 year young :B And I admit that I was 1/2 responsible for delaying the leg check up process. Malas. Mendoukusai. So, Allah gave me a warning by making my leg fail and me falling down like how Cartoons fall slipping on the banana skin. No offence for some of you guys reading this, but I am SERIOUSLY not making this up. Am not exaggerating at all. I am just EXPLAINING.

31st Oct 2010 (Sun)
Me having this scary thought of concussion, googled "concussion" to find out the symptoms. And, wahla.. I don't have concussion. So I kept on doing my normal routine of the day until I felt my head berdenyut2 at the end of the day.

1st Nov 2010 (Mon)
Took MC that day and went to Medivron Clinic. Explained everything to the Doc and she said "Jangan pandai2 nak jadi Doctor sendiri" She wrote me a letter and asked me to go to UH. I even asked the Doc, "Can I go for URUT first, before going to UH?" No way! You're going to UH first.

I am supposed to check my spine since it was the root cause of the fall. The Doc said nothing special regarding my head injury. Oh, that means, I am good at being a Doctor then... hahaha But, she did inform me that if this problem is related to your spine, then you may face difficulty in your second pregnancy. -> Ok, takut.

Went to UH. At the Kaunter Saringan, the Nurse sent me to Kecemasan And Trauma. OMG! Memang tunggu lama. But, after I read the below information. Legalah sikit. Means, my case is somewhere between G2 and G3.


After a while, Doc called me and checked my spine. It was a foreign doctor. Spoke bits to bits of English and keep on telling me that there is nothing wrong with me. He was also frustrated.. I guess with the Nurse at Kaunter Saringan for sending me here (Kecemasan & Trauma). Hey, I was shocked myself. Kecemasan and Trauma is the last place I wanted to go that day cause I don't feel as though my case is related to Kecemasan & Trauma. Ok, aku dah maafkan nurse yang dekat Kaunter Saringan tuh.

But, because of that, this foregin Doc yang mungkin belum lunch lagi... Gave me a bad service and a bad impression of all PPUM docs. And above all that, he prescribed me with PONSTAN and Hot cream WTH! Sangat mengambil sambil lewa!

Mom who was there next to me all the time said to me to IGNORE the prescription and we went back home. Mom adviced me though to get a second opinion at SJMC. So called SJMC to set up a quick reservation with Otopedik who has Afternoon clinics.

So, there I was with Doctor Muthu. Explaining the problem from A-Z. I also informed Doc about how my problem may be related to pre-pregnancy problem which was my SIL's nurse side of the opinion. Oh, Doctor Muthu lagi siyott... Taulah nak dekat Deepavali... He could just say that I was fine and even make a joke out of my SIL;

"Your SIL grad kolej nursing mana yer? I nak hire dia kerja dekat sinilah" -> as I am quite serious at that time, I answered all his Questions honestly. Plus he asked me to go for X-ray which in the end found me nothing. Being an open person, I CANNOT and REFUSE to accept his reason for my problem to be;

"It's all in your mind. Jangan dengar sangat apa orang lain cakap" Oh, WTF! It's all in my mind? Go to hell! Ingat aku saja2 je ke buat alasan nak jumpa Doc. I only felt the rage in myself when I saw the Consultancy Bill for RM135!! I took my effort to see you, waste my time and bare all your stupid consultancy and still have to pay the fu*king RM135. Melampau siyott..

Aku pon bodoh jugak lah.. Balik rumah, I vodoo-ed myself saying that I have no such leg-failure problem. Not long after that? STILL ADA PROBLEM.

Geram. Geram. Geram. Geram.

Memang dah sampai my patience LIMIT this time. Aku sebenarnya tak paham the rational of these kind of treatment to patients. If Docs have too much WORK, BURDEN... then, it's the Hospital side that needs to do something about it. In my case, it seems like those 2 Docs are such a PITA. So what if you guys tak makan, tak cukup tidor, EGO etc., it definitely not the reason to throw the tantrum at patients. It is not also the reason to treat patients as FOOLS.

Memang lepasan geram yang damn I don't even like to re-read this entry. But, since some are asking about the hujung pangkal of the story, so I terangkan panjang lebar.

Give me a million REASON for the treatment I had, I will not tolerate such nonsence especially in Customer Service.

Ijou.

Digi iPhone

ok... Aku mungkin agak terlambat... Mungkin wadai ni dah BASI... Tapi, aku baru jer nak tukar ke iPHONE!!!

Kenapa?
1. Sebab telephone aku yang lama tuh dah rosak.
2. Sebab telephone yang aku pinjam skarang adalah "weng" sikit. Kalau jatuh, orang xleh dengar aku cakap apa...
3. Sebab aku dah xnak gune MAXIS??

Well, aku start guna MAXIS pon sebab My Mom has 3 complimentary number. Yes, and I'm using one of them. hhehe... Well, don't worry! Nombor itu pasti masih aktif sebab, I'm just going to cut the CC payment... That's all... And of course, pulangkan the SimCard to my mom. heheh

The reason I'm changing to Digi are:

1. Plan yang tidak membebankan
2. Boleh dapat iPhone!
3. Dengan iPhone boleh menjana pendapatan lebih... heheh Insyaallah

My new love :)

p/s: Btw, kalau kawan kita dalam FB tiba2 tidak ada dalam list, Does that means She doesn't want to be my friend anymore??

Cerita malam Semalam

Mungkin ada yang belum tahu, yang Yuni sekarang tidur dalam buai - berhenjut.

Memang asalnya aku ego, sombong konon xnak ajar anak tidur dalam buai (Padahal sendiri masa kecik tidur dalam buai tuh) heheh

So, semalam lepas solat Isyak, aku pon bertekadlah nak kasi Yuni tidur malam atas katil. Walaupun suatu masa dahulu Yuni dah berjaya tidur atas katil, tp disebabkan kemalasan Mama-nya, dia dah biasa tidur dalam buai semula. *My Bad*

Al-Kisahnya, malam semalam mamanya nak practise semula Yuni tidur atas katil (well, to be specific atas tilam je sebenarnye), So berusahalah saya untuk menidurkan.

Bagi "nenen" tak mau. Mungkin sebab baru lepas minum susu sebotol. Kenyang lah tu.

So start lah mengusap rambut Yuni. usap punya usap punya usap punya usap... Berapa banyak kali Usap da... Ingatkan dia nak tidur... Makin BULAT matanya adelah. Aiyahhh... (should not have challenged this on a weekday night-Mama thought) Yuni boleh lg tuh main dengan langsir.. pusing sana pusing sini... Last2 Mamanya geram... Ape lagi, angkat pastuh letak kat peha, position menetek. hahahaha

By this time, dah pukul 10 and dia still lagi mengamuk2 jerit2 atas peha mama dia. Sekali tuh...

"Woooooiii!!!!!" - Jerit Ayah yang diganggu tidurnya oleh Yuni nye jeritan.

I still remembered, Yuni yang in a second berhenti menjerit. Terdiam. Lepas tuh menangis teresak2... (dia tahu Ayahnya marah tuh) So, I put her back on the tilam, usap rambut sambil memujuk... Saaaaaaammmmppppppaaaaaaiiiiiilah Yuni tidur :P

Punyer lenguh la tangan Mamanya nih.... hehehe..

Dan Akhirnya tidur juga Yuni... Lepas kena tegur dengan Ayahnya... hahaha

Kadang2 bagus juga ye kite "tegas"kan suara dekat Anak... Tp, saya plan nak jadi yang baik jer.. Yang tegas suruh Ayah yg jadi... hehehe

Hot FM Masyuuukkk

Ok, mungkin aku terlambat nak bgtau pasal Hot FM Masyuukk nih... Probably by the time aku tulis nih dah ade pemenang? Mana la tahu kan??

The only hour of the day which I listen to the radio is in the Car on my way to work. Yes, about an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening. And last skali saya dengar Hot FM is on the way to work today lah. I have been listening to the HOT FM Masyukk about the contest where you have to guess the voice of the artists name.

First time I ever heard about a contest which is almost impossible to win?

Maybe I am the type yang not so into Malaysian Artist, (tp, yang Jepun punye suke aje haha) So, I can't figure out how they could actually recognize the Artist's voice in the radio. Ya, kerja gila orang panggil. Tp, as the $$$ becomes bigger and everyone is searching for the 2nd Voice only, Waaahhh... dekiru mon da! kalau macam nih aku pon boleh menang! hahaha

Clues hari ini: Suka minum Milo Ais.

Hmm.. Adik aku suka minum Milo Ais. Laki aku pon suka... But, they are not Artists... hahaha Ok lah, aku nak surf internet cari Jawapan.. heheh Adiosss!

Malam Ramadhan Pertama

Yuni yang excited tengok ayah keluarkan Songkok yang berhabuk. Mama pon bersihkan songkok Ayah. Yuni pon try lah songkok itu.

Yuni and her computer.

Ok. Ramadhan ini sangat mencabar. Adakah memang mencabar bagi seorang ibu/isteri?

Orang ada kata, ibu yang telah melahirkan anak adalah seperti baru dilahirkan semula, tanpa dosa bagaikan anak baru lahir? Betul ke? Sebab kalau betul, agaknya beginilah perasaan seorang anak yang baru hendak berpuasa. Any ibu-ibu yang mempunyai perasaan yang sama??

Tabahkan diri, Fiza! Ganbare!

p/s: Or addakah sebab sekarang musim panas, pasal tuh rasa mencabar? Wallahua'lam

Happy Birthday!

誕生日ぐらい、良いことを書きたいね。

明日はいよいよ断食の時期に入ります。断食というのは食べることと飲むことを我慢する行動だけではありません。全体的に悪いこと、無駄なこと、どうでもいいことを我慢することです。

断食を通して、恵まれない人たちの苦労と悲しさを深く感じることができます。従って、自分がどれぐらい恵まれているかを再び思い出して、感謝しなきゃと思わせる、行動であります。

しかも、宗教的の面から説明すると、断食により、罪が赦される行動の一つである。 断食の時期に一生懸命, 悔い改める人たちの姿を見て神様が許してあげる時期であります。

Translate:

I should be writing something nice, since it's my birthday.

Tomorrow shall be tha start of Fasting Month "Ramadhan". Fasting is not only to restrain from eating and drinking, but also restraining from doing evil, waste and unnecessary things.

From fasting, we learn to feel poverty, sadness of the unblessed. Therefore, it makes us feel thankfull for what Allah has given us.

From the religious side, by fasting, we could kill of our sins. it is the month where Allah forgives the sins and the wrong doings of the Muslims because they prayed enough to be forgiven.


Salam Ramadhan, Selamat menyambut Bulan Ramadhan... Selamat Berpuasa!
Mohon maaf di atas segala kesilapan yang lalu.

Sekolah Mengandung??

Mesti korang dah dengar pasal cerita Kerajaan Melaka nak dirikan Sekolah Mengandung kat Jasin untuk budak-budak perempuan yang terlanjur termengandung tanpa suami/mak bapak untuk bantu menanggung beban.

Aku ade la nak komen tentang benda nih seperti di bawah;

1. Tolong la letak nama "Shelter" instead of "Sekolah" sebab perception orang/ feeling orang dalam Malaysia atau luar Malaysia berbeza tau. Bila kita namakan Sekolah, menampakkan seolah-olah Kerajaan Negeri Melaka menggalakkan pulak SEX before Marriage. Kalau disebut "Shelter", membuat orang ramai rasa "Wah, baik nya Kerajaan Negeri Melaka! Ada peruntukan untuk membantu gadis2 malang ini". Apa, before Ali Rustam buat speech xde sesiapa (secretary ke?) yang checkkan untuk dia ke pasal penggunaan perkataan tuh? Or, masa diorang berbincang kat Dewan Undangan Negeri xde orang beri pendapat ke pasal "naming" of SEKOLAH?

2. Aku agak risau bila "SEKOLAH" nih dah ada STUDENT, takut Student nih akan kena bully laaahhh... Selalunya, orang yang dah terlanjur nih, dia akan menyepikan diri... Tak mahu statusnya di ketahui orang mungkin sebab segan/ malu dengan perkara tersebut. Tapi, kalau dah masuk SEKOLAH Surelah orang tahu, kan? Kenalah masuk dalam Resume kan??

3. Kalau dah ramai giller orang yang masuk SEKOLAH nih... Sampai melebihi kapasiti... Nanti, akan adakah BRANCH... Cawangan Selangor ke.. Kuala Lumpur ke??

4. Persoalan dalam minda... Adakah SEKOLAH ini akan jadi ASRAMA-based? Atau SEKOLAH Harian Biasa?

5. Aku anggap "SEKOLAH" yang bakal dibina ini dianggap macam "AFTER-CARE" untuk STUDENT macam tuh... Tapi, macam mana dengan "BEFORE-CARE"?? Macam memberitahu bahawa, SEX is for after marriage? or SAFER to use CONDOM??? Macammana pulak dengan penekanan tentang DOSA melakukan SEX before MARRIAGE? Macammana dengan penekanan AGAMA yang sepatutnya ditingkatkan?? Haaa??

Aku paling tak suka orang yang mengaggap perkara nih perkara leceh/ KEBIASAAN/ for FUN... Sebab aku risau anak-anak aku nanti...

1. Apakah latar belakang orang yang bakal kahwin dengan anak aku?
2. Macam mana back ground family dia?
3. Sah ke perkahwinan itu nanti? If Wali BAPAK xdapat cari
4. Kalau anak aku berkawan dengan orang yang anggap SEX before MARRIAGE is OK dan mempengaruhi dia nanti?
5. Macam mana dengan keturunan aku nanti?

Yang paling penting, Kalau aku tak buat sesuatu atas nama ISLAM dan membenarkan perkara macam nih become WORSE....

Berapa banyak DOSA aku yang akan diCASHkan masa kat Akhirat nanti??

Wallahua'lam...

Peringatan untuk diri sendiri

Yuni & Bentouss

As mentioned in the previous entry, below are Yuni's pictures and some of my Bento pics. Yes, ima hamatteimasu :)

 Tengok la muke bucuk dia baru bangun tido

Silau la mama... Flash tuh tutuplaaaa

Akhirnya...

Yuni updates:

Sudah berjalan
Sudah berlari
Sudah main cak-cak
Sudah tamau tidur dalam buai bila dengan mama
Sudah pandai kejar-kejar
Sudah pandai baca doa (action sahaja)
Sudah pandai baca buku di atas keinginan sendiri (ambil buku dari rak, duduk dan membaca)
Sudah pandai buka pintu toilet (Bahaya!)
Sudah pandai mencium sesiapa sahaja (respon pada "Sayang sikit")
Sudah pandai buat action nak pakai kasut
Sudah pandai meniru segala perbuatan mama, ayah nenek dan atok
Sudah pandai cakap Nananananana (means; No-no)<- tiru kami juga tuh
Suka masuk dapur pagi2 tengok mama buat bentou

Alamak... Blur la plak...

Baru lah tak blur

Bentou Ikan Saba yang dibeli di Jusco :)

I think I want to buy her gelongsor plastik yang boleh main dalam rumah tuh... Get her occupied :p
Rasa-rasanya menjadi tak umpan tuh nanti? hahaha...

Hari ini Yuni berada di In-Laws dengan Ayah dan PakUda.
"Make sure you guys come home before mama does" - Warning mama pada ayah.

I wonder why am I so protective? Adakah mothers memang akan rasa begitu?
Mungkin salah satu symptom post-pregnancy. I felt annoyed dengan In-Laws. believe me, before pregnancy memang takde langsung perasaan itu. I felt the change. But I don't know how to change back to the previous me. Should I jumpe psychology doctor and get some counseling?

Rasa tak best. Seriously. I really need help t overcome this "Over-Protective" and "Anti-Inlaws" thingy. And I should start by talking about it to someone instead of only writing it in this blog. Yup, wish me luck!

p/s: Rest assure that my MIL is a SUPERB Lady. It's the Aunt-IL which is bothering.

Kereta & Family

Everytime aku balik rumah sure xde mood nak upload gambar-gambar Yuni. Penat and saikin, aku balik masak dinner, before kerja masak bentou. Yup, practicing to be a super-working-mom-housewife.

So, aku browse lah gambar-gambar kereta favourite/cita-cita aku (yang selalu ditenggelamkan dengan realiti TAX yg dikenakan atas kereta import) hehehe... Memang aku ada cita-cita nak beli MPV. Tapi, setelah aku dapatkan loan rumah dahulu. Dah dapat rumah, kena tunggu B.I.L beli MPV dulu, kalau tak, sure dia nak menempelkan anak2 dia kat kereta aku... heheh (Jaahat, tapi ape aku pedulik.. yang berhimpit nnt aku, bukan ko)

Aaaahh... heaven nyer kalau dapat nih sebijik.. hehhe

Growing up in a 4 siblings family doesn't make me hate children. But, I stand on the believe that the more you have children (like 6 kids and above), the more you have to work up to it. For example, buy a Van/Bus/MPV or yang seumpama dengannya. Stupid. Dah pandai mengote buat anak, pepandailah save and provide comfort for your family. Or adakah xpernah terfikir pon untuk provide sedikit kesenangan sebelum ko mengote?? Sampai bile nak berharap transportation orang lain untuk travel. Kids grow up, okay. Sampai satu tahap, they don't fit in a Wira anymore. "Alah, lambat lagi... nanti2 lah" Abes tuh, nak tunggu bontot xmuat sampai 2 orang kena letak kat bonet? hahaha.. omoshiroi kedo, zenzen waraenai...

Bawak beca jerlah ko balik kampung...

Ape salahnyer berkorban untuk keselesaan anak-anak? Esok luse masa dah tua nanti ko jugak yang senang.. isk isk... Pendidikan melalui teladan damon...

Apesal lah aku dok risau sangat bagi pihak orang lain? (Sebab nnt menyusahkan aku jugak) Hahaha... Sejak akhir-akhir ni, mood aku agak kejam. Memang aku dah malas nak kesian2 kat orang... Malas dah nak baik-baik, menyusahkan diri sendiri, berkorban untuk orang lain padahal orang itu tak nak berusaha dulu sendiri. Dasar berharap. Caitt..

Ijou. Gomenne, kalau bahasa aku sejak akhir-akhir ni agak kasar dan mungkin menyakitkan hati sesetengah pihak. Seronok sebab dapat meluahkan dengan lebih effective dengan bahasa sebegini... heheh..

Isi hati ini

Maaf ye kepada sesiapa yang tidak dapat membaca entry sebelum ini, sebab saya sedikit emos dengan kehidupan dan tragedi2 harian maka saya lebih selesa menyuarakan kebingungan itu dalam Bahasa Jepun.

Tiada satu manuasia pon dalam dunia nih yang PERFECT. Setiap manusia buat kesilapan dari semasa ke semasa. Even Dato' Siti pon xdapat nak puaskan hati semua orang dengan mengahwini Dato' K

Samelah dengan aku. Bukannye nak cakap aku kawin ngan Dato' K, tapi, aku tak dapat nak puaskan hati semua orang termasuklah, keluarga dan juga rakan-rakan. Aku bakal menghampakan hati seorang pakcik dalam masa terdekat dan mungkin Boss juga. Tapi, keputusan ini aku lakukan demi keluarga. Back to back memang Family First, kan?

At least aku memang nak improve. Dan Improvement itu bukan datang dengan cara berharap pada orang lain... Tetapi, pada usaha sendiri juga. Kita tak patut berharap pada makhluk Allah. Berharap lah pada Allah & USAHA. Aku dah lama berhenti berharap pada orang lain. Memang sekarang aku hanya berharap pada diri sendiri dan usaha diri sendiri. Kalau berharap pada orang lain, nanti termakan budi, termakan hati, terusik perasaan dan macam-macam lagi. Tak sedap hati kalau berharap pada orang lain. Mungkin stress pada orang itu juga, kita tak tahu. Kesimpulannya, Entah lah.

Cepatlah perkhabaran baik itu tiba.

Sekian.

Earth day 2010

Earth Day! on 22nd Apr 2010.

If you ask me about being friendly to the environment/ to the world... I would probably associate it to my experiences in Japan. I lived in Japan for 4 years to further my studies in Engineering. As far as I remember, Japanese are very active in promoting and applying "Green". Their culture practices green everywhere in daily life. For instance, they are very strict in Re-cycle work. From organic waste (food that we consume everyday) to big unwanted furniture/wood/metal/electronic waste. Promoting waste recycling by offering $$ to houses that has unwanted giant waste... to prevent them from disposing it into the rivers etc.

Each community in Japan has their own waste disposal schedule for the whole year. This helps housewives to even plan their meals everyday. For instance, the organic waste will be picked up on each Wednesday of the week, therefore, they'll have fish for dinner on Tuesday night. This is to prevent raw fish smell of organic waste in the house. They will quickly be able to get rid of it the next day. *Marvellous, isn't it?*

In buildings, schools and even factories in Japan are practicing to set their air-conditioner to 27 deg in Summer, to save energy. Housewives put barrels out during the rain to collect water for external house usage... Such as cleaning the pavement door, washing cars or even watering the plant. By watering their house pavement, it reduces the area's temperature to 2 degrees. *Fascinating!*

Children are taught at early age to plant trees, not to litter and to use bags instead of plastic bags when shopping. These normal general earth-loving-education is not forced by the ministry etc... But, they are willingly done by teachers at schools/nursery/kindergarden. Their civic senses are far beyond any other countries in the world as far as I know.

I have once tried to start a recycling culture at home, I even gather leaves & organic wastes to make compost and Alhamdulillah, my mother still continues the work.. Plus, we get to enjoy better Rambutan fruits from the tree in the lawn :) Even Allah reminds us to be friendly to every living creature in the planet. Why cut down trees a.k.a destroying their houses? Why pollute the air and kill the birds? Why pollute the sea and mutate the fishes? Be wise and share the information with our children and others. May we benefit and live a longer and peaceful life here on earth. Amin.
