iLove iFree iStuffs!!!!!

Received this new toy from the company, but the blogging apps is too small for my liking. Loving the spell check and the Instagram though. So in the future only the spur of the moment post will be via the pad. For a more wordy ones, I'll stick to the lappy :)

Down Memory Lane...Shah Alam pt 2

On Tuesday after work around 6pm I made way to Shah Alam. Already had plans to meet these kids at 9pm to discuss on the final presentation for DP1. After check in the hotel, I went straight to my school (yes we call it school!!). The kids were waiting and I can see nervousness in them. After going through their slides, I made them present once, and along the way I corrected few that I think would be relevant.

I gave them few pointers and also shared my pet peeves when it comes to presentation (things like pointing with finger, definitely a big NO). I can see there are few other groups that is getting ready as well. And my group's slide is only like 50% finished. Am a bit worried though, but I left at 11.30pm, still need my sleep right? ;) Stopped by Seksyen 2 to buy dinner..as I was waiting for my Nasi Goreng Pattaya, I texted few classmates.

"Salam, aku kt Shah Alam ni, volunteer jadi co-sv bdk design project,br abis discussion grp yg aku handle,sok dorang present,aku kt sek2,beli makanan ni,nostalgia betul....."

It was nostalgic, for UiTM student, sek2 is the main place for our food supply, and yes the daging merah that comes with nasi goreng pattaya still tasted the same!! could not get it anywhere else ;)

Some of the reply that I get :

E-kin: Asal ko ttiba tjebak jd volunteer ni? Ai,mmgla nostalgia....

Eza: Slm,wah bestnya.aku pon windu gila zaman belajar dulu...

Nisah (my groupmate for DP) : Yea ke? aku trkjut dpt msg ko. Mcm mana budak skrang buat design? aku dulu ingt lagi tumpg Hirda (another groupmate) naik skuter g kolej ko. dkt pg baru balik...

P-jal: mmg nostalgia....especially kalo esok ko gi skul jln kaki, pastu sampai je org wat ppt ko wat pose 'main snuker'!! Hahahaha.... 

Umai: Wah...best bangat! Aku rindu ms kt uitm. rindu kt environment dia...kalo dpt rase smula ms dl kn best ek..g kelas, mkn reramai...huhuhu...

I reached UiTM next morning at around 8 am. Went to school, saw the presentation schedule. Few familiar names on the panel. (Now they have Dr. with their names!!). First group start at 9am. The kids will be presenting at 11.30am. At first I was not in the panel, as I RSVP quite late, but upon seeing me, my lecturer Cik Noni, asked me to be in (she only taught me one class, yet she still remembers me (+my name)!!)

While waiting for the presentation to start, I tried to find those names that sees me before as this sleepy head with 'snuker pose' , who used to wear torn jeans to class and somehow managed to graduate. I went to their room but they were not in. I even bumped into my SV for DP and yes, he remembers me as well!! 

Later, I hang out at the foyer, where everybody is. One by one familiar faces came by. Our batch is among the first few batches, so most of the lecturers that I knew are the one that started their teaching as our class being the first student. And they still remember me + my name!! I don't know whether to feel flattered or to be overwhelmed.

I went in at 9am to be part of the panel. My group is the third group, the first two groups are OK, definitely their slides are better than what the kids showed me last night, now I am getting nervous!!! I slipped out during Q&A of the second group, had a chat with the kids who are anxiously waiting outside. Gave some last minute pep talk and off we went.

All in all they did well. All of them answered the questions posed, with at least some level of confidence, I was suprised by some of the answers given. They actually fare off better than I thought that they would, and I am proud of them ;) and I will be with them still for DP2!!

Currently listening to : Letto - Sebelum Cahaya

Yes, I did it again!!

I changed my blog template..again!!! From this lovely chirping bird...

Actually I wanted to find something that will enable me to post bigger picture, so I was searching high and low (seriously oblivious that I can do that via Blogger Design template..). Anyhoo...I tried uploading few but none caught my eye. I did gave up and revert to my previous template.

Can you see what's wrong? Main body (the post) is repeated once more and was put at the side bar. I could not delete that, and when I tried the blogger template, the double body post is still there, wth?

During the search, I found one particular template that I really loike!! The front page is simple yet cool. But there is 2 cons.

Nampak tak? apart from the messy page element, this is the most narcistic blog template ever. I could not customise the page element (bukan takat takleh customise, nak add in yang baru pon tak boleh...). If I imported the original template from scratch lagi la xde list ke apa langsung. They only have archive and labels. I kept the rest of the widget, hence we can still see some, but don't be suprise because everytime the page is refreshed, the widget moves around.. Kelakar la pulak...but since I love the main page so much, I decided to keep it until I found the one that I truly like and did not give me the double post (main body ) lagi.

And oh...I did not achieve my initial mission, that is to get template yang boleh letak gambar besar punya...hampeh!!

Koi dah agok dah...

This post is dedicated to Aida & Kak Yong. Something in my mail that cheered me up today. Enjoy, see if you can digest this ;)

"Majid, seorang pemuda yang masih bujang, pendiam dan amat pemalu. Pada hari raya yang lalu, Majid telah berkunjung ke rumah rakannya. Dalam perjalanan menuju ke rumah rakannya, Majid telah terpandang seorang gadis yang dikenalinya semenjak sekolah lagi. Hatinya telah terpikat, dan berhasrat untuk memperisterikannya.

Majid telah menyuarakan hajatnya kepada kedua orang tuanya, dan menunjukkan lokasi rumah gadis tersebut supaya senang kedua ibubapanya hendak pergi meminang nanti. Selepas itu, Majid pun pulang ke bandar dan meninggalkan urusan tersebut kepada orang tuanya.

Selang beberapa hari, kedua orang tua Majid telah mengunjungi rumah gadis tersebut untuk tujuan merisik. Setelah beberapa lama bersembang, bapa gadis tersebut pun bertanya kepada ibu bapa Majid…

Bapa Gadis : Yang sebenornyer, amende ke hajat aokme berdua ni datang ke rumoh kome yak buruk ni?...


Bapa Majid : Ye la.. dari tadi beborok, tak nyer kabor mender hajat yer..Ha, moknyer.. Ace kabo ke hajat si Majid te…


Emak Majid : Gini la.. yang sebenornyer, anok bujang kome te, dah terbekenan dengan anok dara aokme.. jadinyer kome ni nok la nanyer, dah ander ke orang yang punya? Kala belum ander, kome nok la merisik-risik…


Emak Gadis : Ooo.. kesohnyer, kome ni pun tok kenei lagi dengan anok deme te… Mende kerjanyer?....


Emak Majid : Ntoh.. keh ni tk berapa reti nok nyebut base omputih.. keknye base Melayunyer.. dia kabo keje drebo jer…


Emak Gadis : Oooo.. Drebo jer..(Mencebek selalu).. Gini la.. yak sebenornyer, anok kome te.. sebenornyer, dah ander orang meminang.. (Dah setat buat pedooh…) Budok jantan te keje opisboi kat Pejabat Tanoh te…


Bapa Gadis : Ha’ah.. (Menyokong..) Kome pon mintok maah la yer, mendenyer aokme ni pon tok tau yak anok kome te dah ander yak mintok… Kiranyer takde jodoh la.. Nok goner kan yer….


Bapa Majid : Ye la.. Mengkala dah gitu, kome pon tak buleh la nok buat mende.. Mende anok kome pon tok setarah dengan anok aokme.. Nanti la kome kabo ke anok bujang kome nanti…


Emak Gadis : Ye la.. memang tok setarah lalu... Anok kome kerani pejabat loyar.. anok deme drebo..


Lalu kedua ibu bapa Majid pun memohon untuk berundur. Selesai bersalaman, sedang mereka menuruni tangga, emak gadis tersebut pun bertanya…

Emak Gadis : Drebo mende anok aok te?.. Lori Balok ke Lori Bijih…?


Emak Majid : DREBO KAPEITEREBANG!!! (Sambil masuk ke dalam kereta..)"

For those who did not speak Pahang dialect, am pretty sure you can sort of guess what was the story all about. Enjoy!!

p/s: I finally left a goodbye note in my previous blog. Plan to delete that once and for all, since I have imported all the post here. I do not want to leave any cyber trace + clog the blogsphere.

On the Edge

"A girl carry with her a chair. She climbs from one floor to another. She reached 3rd floor. She tried to make way to 4th floor, but the stairs is gated. She proceed at 3rd floor. She stood on the chair,a boy saw her, trying to stop her but it was too late.

A boy, saw a girl standing on a chair. Determined of letting go. He tried to stop her, but did not succeed.

A class was in a science lab. Heard a thumping sound. Quickly ran outside. They saw whats left of a girl.

A school, shocked, traumatised by the incident. Ends a life of a bright young girl."

This is a true account of an incident . The family is someone I know, but not close. We receive the news of the daughter deceased, but cause of death was not disclosed. School keep it low, but people talked. Apparently this girl is said to be having a boyfriend, which the father did not approve. Somehow maybe there has been many other things that pushed this girl to take her own life. She was said to have posted in FB that heaven is a much nicer place for her. The family did not take any action against the school. The girl's last moments were recorded in the school's CCTV. I guess the family is aware of the ongoing battle, but did not see that she resorts to suicide. None of us would have, I guess?

Teenage is a very fragile stage, you either make it or break it. Family is important. Religious value is paramount. A life should not end this way.

An-Nisa, ayat 29

Sahih International

O you who have believed, do not consume one another's wealth unjustly but only [in lawful] business by mutual consent. And do not kill yourselves [or one another]. Indeed, Allah is to you ever Merciful.

Malay
Wahai orang-orang yang beriman, janganlah kamu makan (gunakan) harta-harta kamu sesama kamu dengan jalan yang salah (tipu, judi dan sebagainya), kecuali dengan jalan perniagaan yang dilakukan secara suka sama suka di antara kamu, dan janganlah kamu berbunuh-bunuhan sesama sendiri. Sesungguhnya Allah sentiasa Mengasihani kamu.

Highlights

I was watching TLC few days ago, and when watching Bobby Chin strolled in between bazaar in Istanbul, I was reminded for umpteenth times of what I used to dream. I have  a set of wish list . This is some 3 years ago. There are things that I have never got to start, but there are things that I did which was not in the list (waka-waka for instance).

For the learning languages bit, am on track. For the traveling bit, yeah, not so much, especially when my money is already commited to something of longer term (20 years!!!) . One thing for sure the list is growing, and definitely I'll add on more to it. Now I have too many highlights of the weeks, but who's complaining? ;)
