What i feel today

2012-01-14T22:24:00.000-05:00

:: LOVE ::

This post has nothing to do with love. Hari itu, I was walking in the book store to buy some notebooks for kegunaan-kegunaan harian and I was surprised to see they offered crazy discount. One of them was this pillow case. It was supposed to be $24 but they sold it for only $4.99 on that day. Since, before this one of my two pillows was naked, I decided to buy it. Lagipun, the design is interesting. Now, every time I go to bed, i would feel happy seeing this two pillows.

:: Classes have started ::

It's the first weekend of the semester. So far, I have been proud of myself. Unlike last year where I slept in class even in the first week of school, this year I stayed awake for all classes, at least for now. I have expected this because I always do better in Spring semester than Fall. Probably because there is only 3 weeks holiday between those two semesters compare to from Spring to Fall where you have to go through the paradise holiday of more than 3 months. So, this semester, I still have the momentum and let us hope it will continue that way.

:: Snow ::

Yesterday, it was snowing again. This year's weather is weird because the snow fall spretty late than it is supposed to be. It falls dengan lebat sekali yesterday, and it is still falling today. I just stayed home all day. I don't even take a bath yet at this point. It feels really good to have a relaxing weekend after a week of classes. Today, I don't know why but I watched Pokemon Movie. The last time I watched Pokemon was in 2002 when I was in darjah enam. I just miss home so much. When I watch Pokemon, it feels like I am at home. I also watched an anime Gatekeepers. I love this anime so much. I watched it only until episode three when I was in darjah enam because at episode 4 I have to pergi daftar masuk sekolah asrama. Only now, I got the feeling to watch that anime back. No wonder I liked it so much back then, ia memang satu cerita yang sangat sangat feeling dan menarik. Childhood is always the best. No worry just fun. Furthermore, I think back then masa internet tak femes lagi, the excitement nak tengok tv tu ada sebab we don't have other option. I still remember how I will make sure I sat in front of the tv 5 minutes before the program started and did not care whatever happened around me. I just wanted to focus 100% on television. Good old days.

We're so cool in LA

Beach has always been special to me. The trip to Los Angeles was not in our initial plan. Tapi fikir2 balik tak salah rasanya nak pergi Los Angeles memandangkan dah dekat sangat dengan Las Vegas. Disebabkan ini trip bidan terjun kitorang sempat pergi Long Beach, Santa Monica dengan Holywood sign jek tapi trip ini still awesome. Like I said beach is special to me. Setiap kali pergi ke pantai ada satu perasaan gembira yang sukar digambarkan. I think one day I want to build a house di tepi pantai. At this time of the year, cuaca kat pantai dia okay-okay jek. Not that cold tapi air dia MasyaAllah sejuk sampai tulang. Kitorang mampu celupkan kaki jek. Tak sanggup nak mandi.

I like the atmosphere dekat Santa Monica. It is the most happening beach I have ever been to Ada ramai orang doing happy things together with their love ones. It is a good place to spend with your family. I 'just disappointed sebab terlepas tengok sunset. We were late just a minute before the sunset.

World Wonder Grand Canyon

2012-01-03T13:38:00.000-05:00

Sejak dari kecik lagi dah pernah terbaca pasal Grand Canyon. Rasanya first time tahu pasal Grand Canyon ni bila tengok National Geographic kat stesen tv percuma kat Malaysia masa kecik-kecik dulu. Disebabkan Grand Canyon ni terlampau luas, kitorang sempat pergi dekat kawasan south sahaja. Tak banyak benda pon yang boleh dilakukan kecuali tangkap gambar tapi still memuaskan.

:: Fakta Menarik Grand Canyon ::

About 600 deaths have occurred in the Grand Canyon since the 1870s
53 have resulted from falls
65 deaths were attributable to environmental causes, including heat stroke, cardiac arrest, dehydration, and hypothermia
7 were caught in flash floods
79 were drowned in the Colorado River
242 perished in airplane and helicopter crashes
25 died in freak errors and accidents, including lightning strikes and rock falls
48 committed suicide
23 were the victims of homicides

Glamour and glitz of Las Vegas

2012-01-02T22:52:00.002-05:00

This is a story of me being in Las Vegas. Dari jauh lagi sudah kelihatan lampu-lampu neon bergemerlapan menerangi bandar Las Vegas yang terletak di tengah lembah. I was mesmerized and hypnotized by the beauty of this city. Too many beautiful buildings and architectures. We all know Las Vegas is a sin city. A city for us to satisfy our lusts and desires for entertainment. Almost every building has its own casino and in fact you can even gamble for free. By statistic 87% who visited Las Vegas gamble. We're not apart of the statistic though.

:: Excalibur ::

:: MGM Grand ::

:: Monte Carlo ::

:: New York New York ::

Las Vegas strip ialah kawasan di mana terletaknya bangunan-bangunan yang cantik-cantik dan hotel-hotel yang terkemuka. 19 dari hotel-hotel di Las Vegas Strip tergolong dalam 25 hotel terbesar dunia mengikut jumlah bilik. wow. Antara hotel-hotel yang dahsyat sempat kitorang lawati termasuklah Excalibur, New York New York, Paris, Bellagio, Monte Carlo, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, Caesar Palace dan Luxor.

If you ask me what is the best thing in Las Vegas, I would say the Bellagio Dancing Fountain. Air pancut ini memang terbaik. Pancuran dia berirama ikut lagu. Memang best giler dan sangat cantik.

Ada banyak lagi tempat-tempat yang menarik dan cantik di Las Vegas tapi tak tertangkap sebab terlampau banyak. Goodbye Las vegas, you're beautiful. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

Muktamar in Sin City

2012-01-02T22:28:00.000-05:00

:: The Muktamar ::

This is the second year I attended Muktamar. The first time was last year in St. Louis, Missouri. The distance between Michigan and Missouri is only around 8 hours but the distance from Michigan to Las Vegas, Nevada is one day and seven hours of non stop driving. Sounds crazy, I know. But that what makes this road trip interesting.me b We spent about 3 days and two nights to safely arrive in Vegas. The reason that we are going through this long journey because of Muktamar making it more meaningful. I learnt something from this Muktamar but what more important is how much am I willing to change to be a better Muslim. Attending Muktamar or any other religious event doesn't make you beriman automatically or make you any better at all. Muktamar is just a reminder, it is up to me if I want to continue being ignorant or change myself. I don't know if I'm changing into a better person. Maybe I have. Maybe I haven't at all. I think for the time being, I just need to make an effort little by little until I realize what is important in my life. And going to Muktamar is part of my endeavor to a better Muslim. InsyaAllah.

::Pemandangan on the way ke Hoover Dam dari Las Vegas::

After 3 days and two night of driving across the continent from East Lansing, we finally reached Las Vegas, Nevada. Hoover Dam is a place that everyone must pass through if they want to go to Las Vegas. This is the dam that provide water source for the city of Las Vegas. Without this dam, LasVegas would never exist and it would only be an empty desert.

Packing untuk Las Vegas

2011-12-19T01:37:00.001-05:00

Roly Poly

Malam ini aku packing barang-barang untuk perjalanan ke Las Vegas esok. Perjalanan itu mengambil masa 1 hari dan 17 jam jika kami memandu tanpa henti. Jauh gila jarak antara East Lansing, Michigan dengan Las Vegas, Nevada. Walaubagaimanapun, jarak yang jauh inilah yang membuatkan aku lebih gembira dan berkobar-kobar. Kami belum pernah pon buat road trip yang official. So, ini boleh dikira sebagai our first road trip. Macam-macam preparation kitorang dah buat dari segi penginapan sampailah makanan. Perjalanan jauh macam ini mana boleh redah jek. Sepanjang perjalanan ke sana kitorang akan bermalam di tiga tempat dan InsyaAllah hari Rabu nanti akan sampailah kami di Las Vegas. Aku suka jalan-jalan menghiburkan diri tapi perjalanan kali ini lebih bermakna sebab ianya bukanlah satu perjalanan untuk melancong semata-mata tetapi kami akan menghadiri Muktamar, lebih kurang macam satu event yang memberi kita pengisian-pengisian jiwa dan rohani sebagai seorang hamba Allah. Ada beberapa orang speaker yang dijemput khas dari Malaysia dan Indonesia. Aku tak kenal sangat penceramah-penceramahnya tetapi satu orang penceramah ini memang agak outstanding. Dialah Habiburrahman El-Shirazy, senang cakap penulis novel Ayat-ayat cinta, Ketika Cinta Bertasbih, dan Dalam Mihrab Cinta mengikut pengetahuan akulah. Memang ada banyak lagi novel lain yang dia tulis. Dulu aku pernah terbeli novel dia so ada rasa excitement sedikit walaupun aku tak adalah minat sangat. Cuma entah, memang ada rasa excitement untuk jumpa orang terkenal. Aku ini tak adalah warak sangat untuk menghadiri acara macam ini tetapi aku rasa dah sampai masa untuk aku mulakan langkah-langkah ke arah perubahan menjadi seorang yang lebih baik. Kalau tak ada the first step sampai bila nak kekal macam ini jek. Bak kata kawan aku, a big success starts from a small step. =) So, next post insyaAllah akan bersiaran secara langsung dari Las Vegaslah. haha dan maafkan saya jika post kali ini agak over colornya.

Pokok

Pokok by Meet Uncle Hussain

This is the Shamrock plant. My friend gave it to me. He got this plant from his plant class which I can't remember the exact name of the class. I like real plant in my house. It's refreshing. It gives us oxygen. On a different note, I just finished my final. Wooohoo. Aku rasa semester ni lah, semester yang terasa sangat pendek sekali. Tak tahulah kenapa. Rasa macam baru haritu baru balik dari summer holiday and now it's winter break already. A lot of thing happens around me lately. Things are getting complicated as we grow older but I know everything is going to be fine.

p/s: Aku suka lagu ini. ~~walaupun tak berapa paham maksudnya.~~

Sonata Musim Salju

2011-12-02T15:55:00.001-05:00

Winter Sonata by Ryu

Cerita pasal salji memang seronok. Hari ini salji masih ada lagi walaupon matahari sudah menyinar dengan cantik sekali. Gabungan pancaran matahari dengan salji yang tebal memberikan kita suasana yang sangat cantik. Salji tak selalunya menyeronokkan terutama sekali bila awan mendung dan kelam. Tetapi hari ini matahari menyinar membuatkan salji-salji nampak berkilau-kilau. Terus teringin nak dengar kembali lagu Winter Sonata yang syahdu itu.

:: Salji berkilau-kilau terkena pancaran matahari. macam kristal.

:: Yang petak segi tu is my house. My house ada dekat tingkat dua. Nak cerita kat sini, cantik tengok salji terkumpul atas pokok dekat tangga nak naik rumah tu.

:: Alhamdulillah cuaca hari ini sangat baik sekali. Mood aku pun jadi sangat baik sekali.

Angin Salji

2011-11-10T16:08:00.001-05:00

I know that today snow will fall. What I don't know is how lebat the snow will turun. Just when I was about to enter the room to take my food science exam, the snow fall. And after I took the exam, makin lebat turun salji. Salji first time turun mesti best. Tak kiralah macam mana tak bestnya bila snow dah banyak nanti, bila turun first time mesti seronok betul. Kali ni mmg gila lain macam. Tak semena-mena salji turun dengan lebat sesungguh-sungguhnya lepas tu, a minute later keluar matahari mencairkan semua salji-salji. I love snow for the time being. ok jom belajar balik. Esok ada exam.

pelik

2011-10-27T22:22:00.003-04:00

Pelik betullah. Kenapa bila ada exam esok semua benda jadi interesting. Tengok youtube macam benda yang paling menyeronokkan. Selalunya tak ada rasa seronok pon tengok youtube. Facebook pon jadi terlampau menarik untuk diignore. Sampai sanggup refresh dua tiga kali nak tengok update baru. Selalunya tengok sekali lepas tu terus tutup buat benda lain. Time nak exam gaklah boleh jadi rajin pulak nak memasak. Lebih kronik lagi sampai terpikir nak mop lantai. Gila. Kenapa mesti bila nak exam baru semua benda tak best jadi best. And tentu sekali bila nak exam study jadi benda paling membosankan. Baru tengok sekejap dah tak boleh nak fokus. Pelik bin ajaib. Macam study tu lah benda paling berat dalam dunia. Exaggerate sikit jek.

Falling

2011-10-13T14:47:00.001-04:00

Minggu-minggu kebelakangan ini aku rasa sangat demotivated untuk buat apa-apa. Rasa macam tak bersemangat nak buat apa-apa. Akibatnya, aku tak siap kerja rumah dan tak datang kelas. Hari tu memang terasa kesan buruk kemalasan bila terlepas due date untuk homework yang carry quite a big portion of mark that will determine my overall grade nanti. Rasa macam bodoh gila. Not to mention, a lot of other stupid things happened too all because of my stupid stupidity. I need to find something to motivate me, if I couldn't find that thing, I'll just have to make myself motivated because I have 2 major exams next week. I guess one of the reason why I become horribly unmotivated is because the exam season is coming back again. Another stupidity of mine. Motivation should increase as exam is coming nearer not the other way round. Again, so stupid of me. Doing the same mistakes again and again and again. Gratefully, the real world is far more beautiful than my world. Beautiful fall season can remind me of the important of living my life as best as I could.

pad prik

2011-10-06T22:03:00.000-04:00

So today we went to a nearby Thai restaurant. The name of this restaurant is No Thai! Restaurant. Well the name is confusing because it is a Thai restaurant but the name is screaming to you "NO THAI!". So, out of curiosity, I just searched "no thai" on the internet and found that "No" is actually the name of the head chef of the restaurant. The food is delicious because they taste a little bit like Malaysian food especially the No Thai! fried rice. I think it tastes like the fried rice that I used to order at restoran seafood tom yam mana-mana kat Malaysia. I also ate pad prik or commonly known to Malaysian as paprik. I ordered this food because I love Malaysian paprik and I wondered what is the original taste of this delicacy. I don't know how to describe the taste but I prefer Malaysian paprik . To me our paprik just tastes better. Maybe they have modified the taste so that it will be suitable for American. That's why it is not as good as our paprik. I don't know, it is just my personal opinion and assumption. One interesting thing in this restaurant is we can choose the level of spiciness of our food. There are 5 levels overall from no spice to weak sauce to medium to yoga flame and lastly dim mak also known as the death touch. As a Malaysian, we bravely asked level 4 which is the yoga flame. At first, we were like this is not spicy at all. Skeptically, we said maybe this is the best they can do for an American restaurant. However after eating a good portion of the food, we started sweating a lot. haha it was hillarious. Thankfully we didn't go for the death touch.

Autumn in my heart

2011-10-02T23:10:00.003-04:00

Fall is indeed beautiful with its amazing colors but it is my least favorite season of all. Why? Firstly, Fall marks the end of summer which is my most favorite time of the year. Secondly, it means that winter will come soon and the temperature will get really really cold like what is happening right now. We have to wear layers of clothes and no more flip flop. Thirdly, the house will be hot with artificial heat which can be very uncomfortable sometimes. Fourthly, the sky will be dark and gloomy as sunshine will go away and comes only once in a while. Fifthly, daytime will become shorter and nighttime will become longer. Lastly, the trees will lost their green color and become botak and creepy. All these reasons make Fall as my least favorite but it doesn't mean I hate it. I just enjoy other seasons more. Winter is kind of having the same situation as Fall with it's coldness and gloominess but the fact that there is snow in winter makes a big difference. Snow is exciting for me and I believe it's because we are from Malaysia, the land of no snow.

Beautiful treasure

2011-09-28T23:39:00.000-04:00

Semalam terjumpa one beautiful story yang ILUVISLAM share dekat facebook. It is the story of a young girl and her dad. You should read it too. Click here, very inspiring. There are too many things in this world that Allah ask us to let go for the sake of our own good but we refuse because of many reasons. Whatever reason it is, obviously it is nothing compared to the reward, the treasure that Allah wants to give us someday in the eternal world. We all know this. In fact, we know this very well. But we are often blinded by everything that happens around us everyday. May Allah opens our hearts.

A Wonderful Treat

2011-09-24T23:48:00.000-04:00

It's Saturday and it is the time of the semester when you just finished all the midterms. It's a very relaxing weekend. You just do all the time-wasting things that you always want to do without any feeling of guilt. Tonight what I did was not time-wasting though. I invited some friends to my house to have dinner together and shared interesting story about what recently happened in our lives. It was fun. Thank you for coming. I like eating with many happy people. It's enjoyable. The menu is very simple. We just cooked Nasi lemak with the addition of some ayam goreng tepung and some fruit jellies as dessert while our guests brought along some snacks and crackers. Yum! We should do this more often.You should do this more often too. Go! Eat, live and love.

Pelangi di Aidil Fitri

2011-09-16T18:02:00.002-04:00

Rasanya mood raya macam dah tak ada tapi takpelah sebab nak upload jugak gambar raya di Michigan. Kitorang sambut raya minggu lepas sebab masa itulah ramai orang dah balik dari summer holiday hari tu. Alhamdulillah hari tu, cuaca sangat bagus. Cerah tetapi suhunya tak terlampau panas. Ada angin dingin bertiup sepoi-sepoi bahasa lagi. Next week aku ada 4 exam. Baru dua minggu kelas mula tapi minggu depan dah nak ada exam. Ada 4 pulak tu. Rasa macam nak final plak. Harap-harap bukan rasa je la macam tu. Usaha belajarnya kenalah macam nak final jugak. Baru perasan, selalunya cerita yang disampaikan dalam post tak parallel dengan gambar yang dipaparkan. haha.

Serene Saturday

2011-09-10T16:15:00.001-04:00

It's Saturday and I'm happy. Classes have been going on okay so far but I still don't get the mood to study yet. I've a good study plan this semester but how good will I follow that plan is still uncertain. Like what I will do at the beginning of every semester, set up my goal and plan well. Although the plan that I make usually will be ignored as we move further into the semester, there are always some part of the plan that will benefit me even if it is only slightly. I realize that I become better and better as time goes by. Hopefully it will always be that way. On a different note, I notice that one of my neighbor is the owner of this awesome in yellow Volkswagen Beetle. I like this car. I still remember when I was a kid, I played a computer game called Midtown Madness and this car was favored by my sister and I. We loved to drive around the city of Chicago in this car ( virtually of course). To me this car is unique and one of a kind. Another car that kind of have caught my eye is Mini Cooper but it is nowhere near my house. Maybe someday another neighbor would park that car in front of my house or even better, maybe I'll drive the car to the front of my house myself. Someday in the uncertain future of mine.

2011-09-07T02:09:00.001-04:00

it was easier for me to get rid of jet lag when I was traveling from USA to Malaysia but it is difficult when it is the other way round. I have been able to sleep at night for the past few days but it was not a good sleep because I kept waking up after every 3 hours of sleeping. Today I made a huge mistake when I slept in the evening. I just wanted to take a nap but I overslept for 3 hours and now I couldn't sleep anymore because my body thinks that my evening nap is my night time sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a very long day. I just hope I could survive all the lectures because I have skipped all my classes last week and my first quiz will be on Friday. Missing more classes won't do me any good.

Americano di Korea

2011-09-02T21:48:00.000-04:00

After more than 6 hours journey from KLIA, I'm now at Incheon International Airport of Korea. I'll be taking the next flight at 11.10 am. The flight back to US is not as exciting as going back to Malaysia. I feel more tired and I find it harder to fall asleep in the flight. It was different before during my flight to Malaysia. I easily fell asleep for almost the whole journey. On a different note, while waiting for our flight, Aakif and I take a walk around the airport to find something to drink. He bought Iced Americano + Iced Cappucino from Subway. I want to try Americano after listening to a Korean song, Americano. The song is very catchy and entertaining but the Americano drink and Cappucino are not as good for me. Okay that's all from me for today. This post is written because I'm very bored at the airport and also because I'm very excited drinking Korean made Americano for the first time.

Leaving on a jet plane

2011-09-01T21:05:00.001-04:00

And today I'll be going back to East Lansing, Michigan. It's a bittersweet feeling right now. I want to go back and start my life again but at the same time I want to stay home much longer. Like I said, I love America but leaving home is never easy. Whatever it is life must go on. Let's go!

Selamat Hari Raya

2011-08-29T10:42:00.000-04:00

Hari Raya datang lagi. Di sini saya ingin mengambil kesempatan untuk memohon maaf jika ada salah silap. Semoga anda semua berbahagia dia hari yang mulia ini. Malam ni jiran sebelah main mercun kuat sangat sampai kadang-kadang tu jadi annoying. Diorang bukan main mercun biasa-biasa jek tapi dah macam dekat depan klcc masa sambutan kemerdekaan dah meriahnya. Lepas tu tadi terkejut seketika semua orang bila letrik terputus tiba-tiba. Reasonnya sebab overload. Banyak sangat orang pakai letrik malam-malam raya macam gini. Nasib baik kejap jek terputusnya

Memang meriah kampung seri kaya malam ni. Selalunya gelap jek, hari ni warna-warni dengan bunyi dam dam dum bunyi mercun. Memang syok raya kat Malaysia. Dah lama tak rasa excited nak raya. Dulu masa dekat high school rasa macam raya ini tak bermakna dan membosankan. Tetapi raya kali ini feeling dia happy sikit. Maybe sebab dah dua tahun beraya di perantauan kali ini baru ada terasa untuk menghargai saat-saat berhari raya bersama keluarga dan sahabat handai. Petang tadi dapat berbuka daging kerbau yang baru ditumbangkan malam tadi dengan ayam belanda. Makan pulak dekat kampung dengan semua sanak-saudara yang dah lama tak jumpa. Memang terkenang masa- kecik-kecik dulu. Masa bila kita semua rasa terlampau excited bila esoknya nak raya. Oklah besok akan gerak ke kampung sebelah mak pulak and the next day nak berkonvoi dengan rakan-rakan raya kat rumah diorang. Semoga anda juga menyambut aidil fitri dengan penuh ceria dan keberkatan. Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri!

It's Saturday morning and it means school holiday. Selalunya cuti-cuti sekolah begini sepupu-sepupu aku akan datang tengok tv dengan main komputer. Disebabkan tv diorang kontrol and komputer pon diorang kontrol aku pon jadi tak tahu nak buat apa. Aku pon tangkap gambar diorang bagi memenuhi masa lapangku. Diorang berumur dari 4 hingga 9 tahun. Aku ingat budak-budak sekarang tak main dah permainan tradisional tetapi sekali diorang main tutup botol. Old skool sungguh.

Killing the time

2011-08-11T08:21:00.002-04:00

Sudah sebulan lebih aku duduk di rumah dan sangat best setelah setahun berjauhan, tetapi ada masanya rasa sangat bosan. Sudah beberapa hari aku terperap saja dekat rumah tanpa sebarang aktiviti yang memberangsangkan. I do have plans this weekend and next week but this week I just stay home and I'm very bored. So to kill the time I took some pictures around my house in Kg Seri Kaya.

The place where I spent most of my time everyday. The internet.

My sister's perfume

I found this somewhere. Don't really know what this actually is.

but it looks romantic.

And I end this post with my new belt. Adios. I really am running out of idea. Hopefully something interesting will happen to me soon.

Lately I feel so stressed out because of some stupid reasons. Macam tu lah hidup. Tak sah kalau tak susah. Just when we thought everything is doing fine, somehow, there will always be unfortunate incident that will ruin your peaceful life. Like I said this is life and it is no longer a big deal. Some people said depression will increase as you age. Probably you will have more problem when you become older. When you feel stress, you just have to find something to make you feel better. But usually stress just comes and goes. Here are some random pictures I took with my Palm Pixi.

Ramadan Al-Mubarak

2011-08-01T02:24:00.003-04:00

It's the first day of puasa. Jam sudah menunjukkan pukul 2.50pm dan rasa penat masih belum terasa. Mungkin sebab cuaca hari ini yang sedikit mendung. Lagipun aktiviti hari ini macam tak ada apa-apa jek. Tidur, duduk depan laptop, tidor balik lepas itu terus ke laptop balik. Nampak gaya kena buat aktiviti yang lebih berguna memandangkan ramadan hanya sekali dalam setahun. Aku dah ada azam ramadan kali ni and hopefully azam itu berjaya. Selamat berpuasa kepada seluruh umat Islam di mana saja anda berada.

"Dan orang yang berpuasa itu beroleh dua kegembiraan yang menyenangkan hati: di kala berbuka, ia akan bergembira dengan berbuka itu, dan di saat ia menemui tuhannya nanti, ia akan gembira kerana puasanya."

(Hadis Riwayat Ahmad, Muslim dan An-Nisa'i)

Kembara Bukit Broga

2011-07-23T11:57:00.001-04:00

Dari Bota ke Kampung Gajah ke Langkap ke Slim River ke Ampang hinggalah akhirnya kami sampai di Semenyih pada pukul tiga pagi. Kami tidur sekejap di surau Petronas berdekatan tapi aku tak boleh tidur sebab nyamuk yang banyaknya menyerang. Walaubagaimanapun perkara itu tidak menghalang mahupun membantutkan semangat aku dan rakan-rakan untuk mendaki Bukit Broga seawal lima pagi.

Suasana sangat gelap pada awalnya tapi boleh nampak dah ramai orang parking kereta dekat ladang kelapa sawit di kawasan permulaan pendakian. Berbekalkan lampu suluh, roti gardenia, mr potato dan beberapa botol air minuman, kami memulakan pendakian. Disebabkan keadaan yang gelap nampak macam perjalanan ke puncak bukit Broga ini sangat mencabar dan menakutkan. Nampak kawasan di tepi-tepi track pendakian macam gaung hitam yang sangat dalam. Masa itulah baru nak teringat ada orang pernah jatuh maut dekat kawasan Bukit Broga ni. Nasib baik kami ada pemandu jalan yang terbaik, Farid. Dia sudah mempunyai pengalaman mendaki bukit ini sewaktu hujan jadi suasana gelap sebegini ternyata sangat mudah baginya.

Sewaktu mendaki, kitorang dapat dengar bunyi azan berkumandang di masjid berdekatan menandakan telah masuknya waktu Subuh bagi kawasan Kuala Lumpur dan kawasan-kawasan yang sewaktu dengannya. Setibanya di satu kawasan landai kami pun menunaikan solat Subuh bersama-sama dengan mengambil wuduk menggunakan air mineral yang dibawa.

Kami menyambung pendakian untuk lebih kurang lima belas minit sebelum berjaya sampai ke puncak bukit yang pertama. Memang menakjubkan. Rasa gayat sikit bila melihat betapa tingginya kedudukan kami ketika itu. Tak sangkalah Bukit Broga ni setinggi ini. Kusangkakan bukit ini tingginya biasa-biasa saja. Semakin tinggi kami mendaki semakin sukar pulak jadinya. Bukit jadi semakin curam dan kami terpaksa merangkak untuk menstabilkan badan dari terjatuh ke bawah. Tapi paranoid saja rupanya sebab setelah berjaya mendaki ke puncak rasanya tidak seteruk yang difikirkan.

Bila dah sampai di puncak memang Subhanallah. Cantik gila. Masa inilah sesi fotografi menjadi semakin rancak. Kami berehat di atas puncak sambil menunggu sang matahari untuk terbit dari arah timur. Memang berbaloi datang Bukit Broga pagi-pagi buta sebab pemandangannya di waktu pagi memang tak ada tandingan. Suhu yang tidak terlalu sejuk dan tentunya tidak terlampau panas seperti di tengah hari membuatkan pendakian lebih selesa. Pemandangannya jugak rasanya jauh lebih cantik berbanding di tengah hari. Waktu senja tak cuba lagi. Mungkin next time nak try mendaki waktu senja pulak. Takut banyak nyamuk pulak. Entahlah kena cuba dulu baru tahu.

Overall, memang terbaiklah kembara Bukit Broga ni. Hilang segala penat bila dah sampai di puncak sana. Tak sangka dekat Malaysia pon ada tempat-tempat yang cantik sebegini cumanya macam biasalah tak sah kalau tempat pelancongan kat Malaysia ini tak ada sampah merata-rata. Sedih tengok kawasan Broga ni diseksa dengan sampah-sarap. Tapi Broga masih cantik untuk didaki. Kat Malaysia ini memang banyak tempat-tempat yang cantik. Amat rugi kalau kita tak pergi menikmatinya.

Isnin lepas aku and the gang telah mengembara ke Bukit Broga dekat Semenyih. Memang syoklah kat sana. Aku andaikan Bukit Broga ini macam landai gila and biasa-biasa saja. Ternyata sangkaan ku meleset sama sekali kerana Broga ni boleh tahan tingginya and agak mencabarlah nak mendakinya. Memang puas hati bila dah sampai kat atas sana. Memandangkan terlalu banyak gambar-gambar yang menarik aku perlukan lebih banyak masa untuk pilih gambar yang paling terbaik untuk dimasukkan ke dalam blog ini. Saja kali ini nak buat random post sebab nak test design baru blog. Selalu buat design simple-simple saja so kali ini cuba-cuba satu benda baru dengan buat design yang lebih complicated. Kadang-kadang nampak okay tapi kadang-kadang pulak nampak serabut. Masih lagi dalam usaha menjadikan blog ini nampak okay dan kemas. Okaylah nantikan post seterusnya tentang Bukit Broga yang memang terbaik. Coming real soon. Adios amigos.

terakhir di Seoul

2011-07-16T20:31:00.001-04:00

This is the last batch of pictures yang telah diambil semasa lawatan kami ke Seoul itu hari. Generally, Seoul tak ubah macam KL. Kalau ada satu part kat Seoul tu kitorang tangkap tanpa tulisan Korea mesti orang tak percaya yang kitorang sebenarnya berada di Seoul haha. Satu perkara yang aku perasan semasa berjalan di jalanan, subway-subway dan hentian bas di Seoul, boleh kata hampir semua orang dari yang kecil hinggalah yang sudah lanjut usia, semuanya memakai handset touch screen. Mungkin ini ialah salah satu kesan Korean Drama yang sering kali memaparkan gaya hidup yang sungguh stylo hinggakan rakyat Seoul pon kebanyakannya kelihatan stylo. Sesetylo mana pon mereka, agak sukar jugaklah untuk berjumpa dengan orang-orang yang mukanya ala-ala Song Hye Kyo ataupon bintang-bintang Korea yang lain. Mungkin kami tidak cukup lagi explore bandar Seoul ni. Walaubagaimanapun jika ditanya mahukah lagi saya datang ke Korea mungkin tidak. Cukuplah sekali pergi ke sana kerana di Malaysia lebih banyak keindahan alam semulajadi yang harus dihargai. Apa-apapun pada hari Kedua yang juga hari terakhir kami di Seoul, kami telah melawat Nam San Tower dan Namdaemun market. Dekat Nam San Tower ni kita boleh lihat pemandangan bandar Seoul dari kawasan tanah tinggi tetapi Seoul ni macam selalu berkabus jek. Mungkin cuaca dekat sana memang macam tu. Dekat Namdaemun market plak boleh kata macam Petaling Street atau Chow Kit road kot. Ada banyak jual barang-barang tiruan dan cenderahati-cenderahati yang murah. Aku sempatlah beli beberapa brooches untuk family di rumah, fridge magnet, kipas tangan dengan corak Korea dan beberapa tshirt.

Kalau korang tertanya-tanya apakah dia yang tergantung-gantung banyak-banyak kat atas tu, itu ialah mangga-mangga cinta yang telah diletakkan oleh pasanga-pasangan yang bercinta. Apabila mereka menguncikan mangga di puncak bukit Nam San ni bermakna cinta suci mereka telah dikunci dan tak akan terpisah untuk selamanya. Kenceng je lebey. Sekali lagi, inilah dia antara kesan "bagus" Kdrama.

Namdaemun market

Kellie's Castle

2011-07-14T20:54:00.003-04:00

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera. So on the way home after our trip to Gua Tempurung, kitorang seinggah sebentar di Kellie's Castle. Ingatkan free nak masuk rupa-rupanya kena bayar RM4 tetapi hasil negotiation yang mantap dengan abang jaga kaunter tu kitorang dapatlah diskaun seringgit seorang dengan menunjukkan student card haha. Padahal harga student itu hanya untuk budak sekolah sahaja. Abang tu kesian kot kat kitorang sebab kitorang datang betul-betul setengah jam sebelum Kellie's Castle ni tutup. Dah lama aku teringin nak pergi sini sebab selalu lalu lalang masa nak pergi Ipoh mesti lalu jalan ini dan akhirnya tercapai jua hasratku itu. Cantik tempat ini tapi orang kata berhantu. Kalau nak tahu lebih lanjut pasal kisah Kellie's Castle bolehlah klik :: Kellie's Castle ::. Hari itu masa kitorang datang sini ada dua pasangan pengantin Cina tengah photoshoot untuk wedding album diorang. Memang cantiklah kalau tangkap gambar kat sini. Nanti tunjuk kat orang cakap I tangkap gambar ni kat London. haha. Oklah enjoy the picture taken by me.

Corridor yang dikatakan berhantu. Roh William Kellie-Smith dikatakan kelihatan berlegar-legar di sini.Tapi sume tu kencing je lebey. Marketing strategy orang kata.

Di rooftop Kellie's Castle ini.

Bye dan jumpa lagi.

Gua Tempurung

2011-07-13T04:06:00.001-04:00

Amaran : Post kali ini banyak gila gambar.

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera. Semalam saya dan rakan-rakan telah melakukan ekspedisi menerokai Gua Tempurung. Gua ini letaknya hanya 40 minit dari rumah saya. Ada 4 pakej untuk masuk ke dalam gua ini dan sebagai sekumpulan remaja yang dahagakan adventur adventur keduniaan kami menyahut cabaran Gua ini untuk menerokainya secara menyeluruh dengan pakej 3. Bayaran sebanyak RM11 seorang dikenakan untuk menjadikan adventur ini satu realiti. Hasilnya memang sungguh memuaskan. Kami berjaya menerokai gua yang besar ini dan dapat menikmati keindahan gua yang sudah berusia beribu tahun. Antara cabaran-cabaran getir yang perlu kami tempuhi termasuklah merangkak di dalam sungai yang terbentuk di bahagian bawah gua, menggelungsur bahagian curam gua dan menghadapi suasana gelap di dalam gua dengan hanya bersumberkan cahaya lampu suluh. Walaubagaimanapun, cabaran ini tidaklah sesukar seperti yang diceritakan. Kencing je lebey. Sesiapa pun boleh menyahut cabaran ini termasuklah orang berusia. Saya sarankan anda-anda di luar sana supaya masuk ke dalam Gua Tempurung kerana ianya pasti akan menjadi satu memori yang tidak akan anda lupakan. woot woot.

Gambar di atas ialah bahagian paling atas gua. Nampak dalam gambar macam kecik jek gua ni tapi sebenarnya gua ni seluas-luas alam. Ada sesetengah bahagian saja yang kecik dan perlu ditempuhi dengan getir. Perjalanan sepanjang gua ini mengambil masa lebih dua jam setengah.

Ada satu bahagian gua di mana kami perlu masuk ke dalam satu lubang kecil kerana lubang inilah satu-satunya entrance yang ada untuk meneruskan perjalanan. Jika anda enggan masuk ke dalam lubang yang ditunjukkan maka terperangkaplah anda di dalam gua ini buat selama-lamanya.

Antara sungai yang ada di dalam gua. Sejuk dan nyaman.

Cerun curam yang harus dituruni dengan keberanian. Semua peserta berjaya menangani perasaan takut masing-masing.

Khalid sedang gayat menuruni tangga kerana tangga itu amat curam dan tingginya mencecah 125m.

Berjaya sampai ke hujung gua. Bergambar kenang-kenangan untuk ditunjukkan kepada seluruh penduduk dunia yang kami sudah berjaya menawan Gua Tempurung.

Exit gua.

Memang menarik Gua Tempurung ini. Pada mulanya saya agak skeptik untuk masuk ke dalam gua ini. Saya rasa apa bendalah yang menarik sangat dalam gua ni tetapi saat pertama menjejakkan kaki ke dalam gua kekaguman mula terasa. Gua Tempurung ialah satu destinasi mesti pergi untuk semua.

Saranghae Seoul

2011-07-08T07:43:00.003-04:00

Seperti yang dijanjikan hari ini saya akan menyajikan anda dengan gambar-gambar dari Seoul. haha. Busy sikit akhir-akhir ni banyak sangat benda nak kena buat dalam proses pengadaptasian dengan suasana Malaysiaku tercinta. Gambar-gambar kali ini kredit sama itu Amin Asyraf. Dia jugak ada update pasal trip kitorang dekat Korea jadi kalau nak tengok lagi banyak gambar2 ohsem sila klik di link ini :: Blog Amin Asyraf ::. Gambar dalam blog ini plak ialah gambar masa malam pertama kitorang di Seoul. Kawan baik kitorang Saifullah mula-mula bawak kitorang jalan-jalan keliling university diorang lepas tu kitorang makan-makan dekat satu restoran ahjumma (MAK CIK DALAM BAHASA KOREA) yang sangat friendly. Orang Korea ni nampak gayanya memang tak boleh berbahasa inggeris sangat. Kalau tak ada tour guide memang tak boleh survivelah kat sini. Kitorang nak cari tandas pon tak jumpa. Nasib baik ada tour guide yang save the day. Kalau tak tidak tahulah apa agaknya nasib kami tahan-tahan kencing di tengah bandaraya Seoul. Dah kena batu karang agaknya. Later that night, kitorang melawat Sungai Cheonggyecheon. Sungai di tengah bandaraya Seoul yang telah direnovate oleh kerajaan Korea dengan perbelanjaan sebanyak $900 million (wikipedia). Memang cantiklah sungai dia and banyak orang Korea muda-mudi berdating sakan. Kalau kat Malaysia memang dah lama kena serbu dengan pencegah maksiat. Memang bestlah Mastika buat liputan kat situ haha. Oklah utk the next day kitorang pergi Nam San tower and Namdaemun market. Aku story lagi dalam post yg akan datang. Kamsa Hamnida. (Thank you)

at the airport

2011-07-04T15:41:00.002-04:00

Anneyongseyo, right now at this moment I am sitting in a house located in Guru, Seoul, South Korea. It is 3.25 in the morning and I couldn't sleep thanks a lot to this thing we call jet lag. Aku dah pergi ronda-ronda Seoul tadi right after kitorang sampai. From airport kitorang naik bas to Guru, the place where Malaysian students live and from that aku dah boleh nampak a lot of Korean real life. Real life okay bukan life yg fairytale mcm dalam kdrama tu. haha. Seoul is a busy city. Sampai pukul 12 tgh malam pon it's still active and banyak orang lalu-lalang dalam bandar. At first Seoul ni nampak macam Kuala Lumpur tapi after walking and walking around the city I can see the differences. Tak banyak pon tempat yg kitorang dah and boleh lawat because of time constraint tapi aku puas hati jugaklah dengan simple transit trip ni. Sebab dah malam kitorang dapat lawat Cheonggyecheon river saja untuk malam ni. Esok pulak sebelum naik flight pulang ke Malaysia kitorang akan pergi Nam San Tower dengan Nandaemun market untuk beli sedikit souvenirs. Gambar-gambar di Korea akan diupload di kemudian hari. Untuk hari ini, aku just upload gambar-gambar masa kitorang still in Chicago O'hare International Airport. Alhamdulillah our journey setakat ni tak ada masalah. Semuanya berjalan dengan elok walaupun ada sedikit masalah2 kecil tapi it's not a big deal. Oklah nak solat subuh sebab kat sini pukul 3.23 am dah masuk waktu and pukul 5.15am habis. Awal gila. Bye.

psst: kalau perasan gambar-gambar kali ini nampak tinggi kualitinya. This is because kali ni photographernya Amin Asyraf.

packing my things

2011-07-01T10:29:00.001-04:00

psst:: before reading this post push the play button sambil goyang-goyang kapla kiri kanan. Lagu iringan. Baru ada feeling sikit baca.

::Time to pack three suitcases and a backpack::

Seperti yang sudah sedia maklum hujung minggu ini aku akan berangkat pulang ke Malaysia sempena summer holiday. Aku dah start packing and plan nak bawak 3 suitcases. Memang banyak memandangkan barang nak bawak balik pon banyak. Mostly barang-barang sedara-mara kirim and hadiah untuk diorang. Nak ikutkan satu beg dah cukup kalau aku sorang jek. Tapi bila lagi nak bagi hadiah kat orang kan. haha. Excited pulak nak balik rumah tapi kena make sure everything is good lah. Kalau tak nanti ada problem susah hidup. Setakat ni alhamdulillah semua rancangan berjalan mengikut seperti yang dijadualkan. Harap-harap tak ada lah problem bukan-bukan. Namun kita hanya merancang Allah yg menentukan. Semoga tenang je la hadapinya. Oh sebelum balik ke Malaysia, aku akan transit dekat Korea, the wonderland yg dah lama aku nak pergi sebab selalu tengok dalam tv. Orang kata tempat dia tak adalah best mana, tapi we'll see.

::Travel Essentials::

:1: liquid pack :2:house key :3: tali pinggang :4: deodorant :5: lip moisturizer :6: berus gigi

:7: wallet with cash :8: Palm Pixi kesayangan

Berkenaan dengan lip moisturizer tu mesti ramai orang kata mengada gila nak pakai benda tu. At least that's what i thought masa mula-mula datang dulu tapi memang benda tu penting especially time winter. I know some people don't have to use it but i'm not that lucky. Kalau tak letak benda tu atau at least a thin layer of vaseline bibir aku pecah sampai kadang-kadang tu berdarah. Maybe it's because of the climate yang dry. Kat Malaysia aku tak pakai pon menda alah ni. Udara Malaysia kan segar dan lembap. Memandangkan dalam flight nnt udara dia memang kering gila based on my experience before, this time i have prepared myself. I want my experience dalam almost-24-hour-flight journey tu nnt smooth and comfortable dan menggumbirakan. Tak adalah merana jek kalau tiba-tiba bibir kering rasa nak gigit-gigit sebab tak selesa.

:: For them ::

:1: fragrance :2: Watch :3: Chocolate :4: Seluar levis rebutan ramai :5: Mystery package

:6: Mystery package lagi

Bercerita tentang seluar Levis ke Levi entah, ramai orang mintak kirim seluar ni. Aku pernah sekali jek masuk kedai Levi kat Malaysia and memang sungguh mahal harganya. Paling murah pon seratus lebih kot. Kat sini pon mahal jugak dalam 30 ke 40 dollar yg paling murah tapi kalau sale harga dia boleh jadi semurah 19 dollar. Dulu aku tak tahu kenapa orang minat sangat levis tapi sekarang setelah menjadi pembeli tegar seluar jenama ini baru aku perasan perbezaan dia. Memang sedap dipakai dan enak dipandanglah seluar-seluar levis ni. Sungguh berkualiti haha. Jenama-jenama lain yg turut menjadi rebutan dekat sini disebabkan harganya yang melambung mahal dekat Malaysia ialah pinggan Corelle dengan handbag Coach. Apa-apa pun semua ni dunia jek. hahaha.

Oklah, saja jek tulis post kali ni sebab keberangkatan ku ke Malaysia ni is a big thing for me so haruslah di rekodkan untuk rujukan masa hadapan. Bye.

the most anticipated

2011-06-28T01:15:00.004-04:00

My most anticipated item of the week has arrived and it is superb. The mysterious package that I gembar-gemburkan just now is a phone. I just got myself a new phone. It has been a year I live without a cell phone and I think it's about time to start having one. Last year I felt like there is no need to use a cell phone thanks to the never ending technology like facebook and skype. I believe these two internet phenomenons have been greatly influencing our life in a good way and in a bad way. But to me, facebook helps to improve my life positively. However, cell phone is still relevant and in fact it is probably going to replace computers and laptop one day. Everyday we can see new smartphone is being produced with sophisticated technology. I'm not into technology as much as some people out there but this smartphone thing is very tempting. Once upon a time I said, I didn't like touchscreen phone because they are annoying and I heard some of my friends saying the same thing too but today everyone is going for touch screen. If possible we want everything to be touch screen. From gps, cell phone, flat screen tv and even point and shoot camera has a touch screen nowadays. The media has been successfully control our mind with their super elegant advertisement and portraying gorgeous lifestyle in drama series that make us want to have the same thing as the actor has. And I am one of their victims hahaha.

::Palm Pixi Plus::

::Orange in color::

I bought this phone from a website and it is very very very cheap. For this unlocked Palm Pixi Plus, I only have to pay US$89.90 or aprroximately around RM270. I know some of you have never heard of Palm Pixi before. I also have never heard of it and knew nothing about it until the few minutes before I bought this phone. But from the review, this phone sounds very good. At a cheap price, this phone offers a touch screen, wifi, gps and a lot of other application that normal smartphone has to offer. If you have never ever used a smartphone before, this is a good starting phone before using expensive and more complicated technology smartphone. I'm glad I bought this phone because I think that this is one of the most berbaloi things I have ever bought.

p/s: Iphone is great but it is too expensive. Besides, I don't like having thing that most people have.

waiting in anticipation

2011-06-27T15:15:00.004-04:00

Right now I'm waiting for my item to arrive. For the past few days I have been constantly checking the United States Postal Service (USPS) website tracking my item. And just now when I was checking the status of my package, the website stated that it is out for delivery and the estimated delivery date is June 27 which is today. Yes today! So right now i'm waiting in anticipation for my item to arrive. dup dap dup dap dup dap. I'll tell you what the item is once it arrives. I'm so excited and nervous. This is the fun of buying things online. Ada nikmat dalam penantian. hiks hiks.

p/s: Tak sabar nak guna benda ini masa fly balik Malaysia this weekend. woot woot.

a glimpse of my place

2011-06-21T19:22:00.001-04:00

Hari ini kelas IAH aku dibatalkan sebab lecturer is out of town. Maknanya aku tak ada kelaslah hari ini. Aku pon menjadilah lone ranger dan berbasikal sambil menangkap gambar kawasan-kawasan dalam u aku nih. Dari dulu lagi aku nak tangkap gambar Michigan State University sebab nak tunjuk dekat family and kawan-kawan tetapi selalu tak kesampaian. Hari ini barulah tercapai hasrat aku tu. Walaubagaimanapun disebabkan oleh luasnya u aku ni, tak mampu aku nak tangkap seluruh u. Aku cuma tangkap tempat-tempat yang menjadi laluan aku untuk ke kelas. Walaupun universiti aku tidak seurban Wisconsin-Madison, ataupun tak sebandar University of Michigan aku sangat gembira berada di u ku ini. haha. Terletak jauh di pedalaman East Lansing, terbinanya Michigan State University ataupun dikenali juga sebagai MSU. Universiti yang cantik dan terkenal dengan keindahan alam semulajadinya.

#1 Red Cedar River

Sungai ini memang menenangkan. Selalunya akan ada angsa-angsa dan itik-itik berenang dekat sungai ni. Kitorang pernah bagi makan dekat itik kat sini. Kalau lapar memang tangan-tangan kita pon dia sambar. Kalau tak lapar memang sombong sungguh itik-itik ini. Waktu winter sungai ni akan jadi keras macam batu dan kita boleh berjalan di atasnya. menarikkan.

#2 Chemistry Building

Sebagai seorang pelajar jurusan Biochemistry and Molecular Biology/Biotechnology, Chemistry building boleh kata bangunan wajib kitorang. Hari-hari ada kelas kat sini.

#3 Biomedical and Physical Sciences Building

Bangunan ini pula bersambung dengan Chemistry Building tadi. Bangunan ni tempat selalu lepak-lepak and makan-makan sebab kat sini ada kedai jual makanan. Aku ambik kelas Fizik kat bangunan inilah.

Ada jambatan yang menghubungkan Chemistry Building dengan BPS

#4 Biochemistry Building

Biochem building pun antara tempat yang paling kerap datang. Ye lah dah nama pon majoring in Biochem.

#5 Engineering Building

Dekat Engineering Building pulak tempat aku ambik subjek programming dengan Calculus 2 tapi dah lama dah. Masa freshman dulu. Sekarang tak datang dah bangunan ni.

#6 Spartan Stadium

Walaupun dah dua tahun duduk sini, tak pernah lagi merasa masuk stadium ni. Kalau nak masuk selalunya masa football gameslah. Kitorang tak pergi sebab tiket mahal tapi one day mesti kena pergi tengok jugak.

#7 Holden Hall

#8 Islamic Center of Greater Lansing

Alhamdulillah sebab masjid dekat MSU ni besar dan selesa. Dekat pon dekat dengan rumah kitorang. Bersyukur jugaklah. Dekat sinilah satu-satunya tempat yang ada paip air dalam tandas. Mat salleh tak suka bilik air basah. Dalam tandas diorang ada tisu jek.

#9 Marathon Gas Station

Dekat sini harga minyak untuk setiap stesen lain-lain. Sebab tu setiap stesen kena tunjukkan harga minyak diorang. Selalu kat berita kat tv pagi-pagi adalah bagitahu dekat mana stesen minyak yg menawarkan harga minyak termurah. Tapi selalunya beza dia sikit jek. Pernah hari itu semasa harga minyak dunia melambung tinggi, harga minyak di sini mencecah 4 dollar lebih segallon. Mahal tu. Kalau tahun lepas lebih kurang dalam 2.99 jek. Seingat akulah. Tapi yang menariknya kalau harga minyak dia naik pon, harga roti tetap sama. Bukan macam sesetengah negara tu yang mana bila minyak naik sikit habis semua benda nak naik. Sampaikan bil stesen kabel berbayar pon nak naik jugak.

#10 Railroad

Railroad ini memisahkan Spartan Village iaitu tempat tinggal aku dengan kampus. Selalunya kalau ada keretapi lalu memang tensen sebab keretapi tu lembab sesangat sampaikan kadang-kadang tu kena tunggu 15 minit baru dia habis lalu. Begitulah ceritanya tempat tinggal aku di Amerika ni. On a different note, 2 minggu lagi aku akan berangkat pulang ke Malaysia untuk menghabiskan sisa cuti ku di sana. Doakan semuanya enak-enak belaka. haha. bye.

esok lebih baik

2011-06-19T23:45:00.001-04:00

I have been busy lately dealing with my studies. I just finished two important exams last week. Since, last week I just studied and doing nothing meaningful during free time, i don't have anything interesting going on in my life to be shared in this blog.

I don't know how to describe my life right now. Sometimes I felt great, sometimes I felt awful and sometimes I felt nothing. Right now I feel just okay. I want something else but i don't really know what it is. It has been a long time I feel that I should start doing something meaningful as if what i have been doing all this while were meaningless. Maybe it is because I haven't put my 100% effort and commitment in my studies. Maybe it is because I have been a playful lazy person who has always wanted to get anything the easy way without having to go through honest hard work. I have always dreamed of being a person who is in control of his mind, his feeling and his action. Currently i'm not. It's very easy for me to be distracted from what I should be doing. It's very easy for me to be irrational and act irrationally when I'm in certain situations. I think all this time I have hurt many feelings because of my irrationality especially those people who are close to me. However, despite all that being said, I am very contented with my life right now. Allah has given me a lot of things to be grateful for. It is just that I need to make sure I fix what is wrong and improve what is bad. I cannot let myself stuck in the same problem any longer.

p/s: I'm not writing this because i just went through a horrifying experience or anything, I just feel to write it.

Setelah setahun tinggal di Spartan Village ini belum pernah ada lagi jiran di rumah sebelah bertanya khabar atau bertandang ke rumah. Usahkan bertanya khabar tetapi bertegur sapa pun tak pernah. Paling-paling tidak pun kitorang hanya senyum-senyum jek bila terjumpa masa nak keluar rumah. Kalau teruk lagi, memang senyum pun tak. Buat-buat tak kenal jek. Kitorang pon salah jugak sebab kitorang pon tak pernah nak letak inisiatif untuk berkenalan. Mungkin disebabkan oleh perbezaan rupa dan budaya menyebabkan kita kurang berminat untuk berkenalan sesama sendiri walaupun sudah lama hidup berjiran.

Baru-baru ini, terdapat empat keluarga yang kelihatannya datang dari kawasan timur tengah sana dan imej mereka menampakkan mereka adalah keluarga muslim. Diorang baru saja berpindah di 4 buah rumah belah kiri rumah kitorang. Selalu juga terjumpa tapi biasalahkan, tak pernah tegur jiran sebelum ini, so jiran yang baru ni pon kitorang wat dek jugak dan buat-buat tak tahu. Tapi terlintas jugaklah kat hati ni untuk berkenalan sebab diorang pon orang Islam jugak. Lagipun bukankah Muslim itu bersaudara. Tapi disebabkan keseganan dan ke'awkward'an yang ada, tak kesampaian pulak hajat nak berkenalan.

Namun sesuatu yang menakjubkan terjadi beberapa hari yang lalu. Mungkin sebab diorang selalu ternampak kitorang sembahyang dalam rumah, diorang dapat perasaan yang kitorang ni jugak Muslim. Lagipun muka orang Melayu ni memang dah komersial dalam kalangan warga timur tengah sana. Diorang macam dah tahu muka orang Melayu Malaysia atau Indonesia ni macam mana. So, tiba-tiba di satu petang yang agak tenang kelmarin, ada seorang lelaki dari salah sebuah rumah yang baru diduduki tadi datang rumah kitorang memberi sebungkus daging kambing halal. Aku agak happylah sebenarnya sebab dari dulu lagi nak kenal diorang last-last diorang yang buat inisiatif memulakan langkah. Tambah-tambah lagi, langkah diorang dimulakan dengan memberi sebungkus daging kambing. Daging kambing halal dekat sini dah lah mahal. Mana tak happynya. Sehappy-happy dapat kambing tu sebenarnya happy lagi sebab dapat berkenalan dengan diorang. Betapa hebatnya kuasa persaudaraan Islam itu sebenarnya. Disebabkan kita sama-sama Islam, kita dapat rasakan ada sesuatu yang membuatkan kita rasa dekat dan seperti sebuah keluarga walaupun berbeda rupa, budaya dan bangsa.

Kambing itu telah dimarinate dan dibakar oleh Aiman, Kutai dan Aakif. Aku potong sayur jek. Sekarang tak tahu nak balas apa dekat diorang. Takkan nak bagi ayam mentah jek. Berdebar plak.

latest addiction

2011-06-10T22:29:00.001-04:00

Setahu aku game ini memang dah lama popular sebab orang suka main dalam iphone atau ipod. Kali pertama aku main pon dalam ipod kawan aku tapi masa tu aku tak kisah sangat. Tiba-tiba keluar iklan kat facebook ke kat mana aku dah lupa cerita pasal dekat google chrome dah boleh main angry birds. Aku saja-sajalah try dan ternyata penangan Angry Birds ini begitu hebat sekali. Best game dia. Especially bila dengar suara-suara burung itu bersorak gembira bila semua babi-babi berwarna hijau berjaya dibunuh kesemuanya.

Pada suatu hari bird-bird ini pulang ke sarang mereka dan mendapati telur-telur mereka sudah hilang entah ke mana.

Kelihatan dari jauh raja babi hijau dan konco-konconya telah bersiap-sedia untuk menggoreng telur bird-bird yang dicuri di atas sebiji kuali. Bird-bird menjadi angry dan menjalankan misi untuk membunuh kesemua babi-babi berwarna hijau. Macam tu kot cerita asal-usul macam mana bird-bird ni boleh jadi angry

Tapi in the end, aku plak yang jadi angry sebab tersekat dekat level 13 sampai la sekarang ni. Hoish.

satay ayam

2011-06-10T00:09:00.002-04:00

Right now I'll tell you another reason why summer is amazing. I can say that almost every weekend we have picnic together and enjoy the sunshine of the summer season. It was great and I love every second of it. Summer is definitely my most favorite season of the year. This was a picnic that we did during the early summer. The weather was great and we thought it would be great to bakar-bakar satay under the sunshine by the lakeside of Hawk Island. We had a good time preparing the satay and had a great time eating them. Again, I want to say summer is the best. I know I have been repeatedly saying how awesome summer is but what can I do, summer is just amazing.

p/s: now the weather is really hot. Luckily there is a/c in my house.

lesen memandu

2011-06-08T23:08:00.001-04:00

Akhirnya, berjaya jugak aku dapat lesen memandu di negeri Michigan ini. Setelah mengharungi pelbagai karenah birokrasi tambahan pula dengan aku yang asyik tertinggal dokumen itu, tertinggal dokumen ini, akhirnya dapat jugak selesaikan proses permohonan lesen memandu. Dah muak dah aku pergi pejabat Secretary of State tu ulang-ulang kali. Siapa cakap dekat negara lain agensi kerajaan dia bagus. Sama jek dengan Malaysia. Lama gila kena tunggu. Lupakan. Kini bolehlah aku memandu secara sah di sisi undang-undang. Tak payah nak menyusahkan orang lain lagi nak tolong bawakkan ke sana dan ke sini.

Satu perkara menarik tentang ujian memandu dekat Michigan, Amerika ni, nak buat lesen murah sangat. Nak banding dengan Malaysia yang cekik darah sampai RM1000 semata-mata nak dapatkan lesen memandu. Dekat sini untuk ujian bertulis kita hanya perlu membayar $25 = RM75 manakala untuk ujian di atas jalan kita hanya perlu menambah lagi $50 = RM150. Jadi secara totalnya kos untuk memohon lesen memandu di sini hanyalah RM225. Untuk ujian bertulis dan ujian di atas jalan, kalau kita gagal untuk kali pertama kita tidak akan dikenakan apa-apa bayaran dan diberi peluang untuk menduduki ujian buat kali yang kedua secara percuma. Ya percuma. Sudahlah murah, dapat peluang kedua pulak tu. Bak kata tester yang mengetest aku untuk roadtest, everyone makes mistake and deserve a second chance. We don't know on that day we might be unlucky and fail the test. To me this is fair and a very good policy yang sekolah memandu di Malaysia patut contohi.

Third thing yang I like about the road test here, everything is automatic. Kita tak guna kereta manual. So for a first time driver it's a good thing. Tak payah nak risau-risau tiba-tiba mati enjin ke apa. Ramai kawan-kawan aku yang tak ada lesen di Malaysia dan tak pernah bawak pon kereta dapat lesen jugak dan berjaya memandu dengan berhemah di sini. The test yang kita kena buat pon quite easy compare to Malaysian road test. Kat sini tak ada bukit-bukit. Yang ada parking dengan on the road sajalah. Maybe some people argue that the harder the test, the safer and more berhemah a driver will be tetapi kadar kemalangan di Malaysia tinggi jugak. Maybe yang utamanya ialah sikap seorang pemandu itu sendiri.

Kita lihat pulak macam mana gayanya nak ambik lesen memandu di Malaysia. Aku dah lama dah ambik lesen. Rasanya masa tahun 2008 dulu. Pokonya apa yang aku ingat nak ambik lesen dekat Malaysia bukan murah. Tak murah langsung malah mahal nak gila macam kena cekik sampai berdarah. Boleh pulak nak ambik lesen pon boleh cecah RM1000 kan. Tak logik betul. Itu pun kalau lulus. Kalau gagal lagi banyak duit kena letak. Kat Malaysia tak ada polisi peluang kedua. Hatta kalau gagal ujian bertulis yang pakai komputer + berjam-jam masa menunggu tu pon kena bayar. Bukanlah niat di hati nak mengondem sistem di Malaysia tetapi rasanya kalau boleh kenapa nak mahal-mahal. Sedangkan orang di Amerika yang gajinya besar-besar pun murah jek kalau nak buat lesen, kenapa untuk rakyat Malaysia yang diberi gaji sedikit perlu terbeban dengan yuran sekolah memandu yang mahal. Di Malaysia pun ramai orang yang hidup susah. Bukankah lesen memandu itu penting dan merupakan salah satu keperluan utama dalam kehidupan. Belum cerita lagi pasal harga kereta yang mahal.

pagi ahad

2011-06-05T09:11:00.000-04:00

Hari ini hari Ahad dan macam biasalah pagi ahad dikhaskan untuk kita berehat dan membuang masa tanpa perasaan bersalah. Subuh di musim panas ni masuk seawal 4.17 minit pagi dan habis seawal 6.01 minit pagi. Kalau waktu kelas aku suka tidur bila nak tunggu kelas start pukul 10.20 pagi tapi waktu cuti begini, aku lebih suka untuk membuang masa di depan laptop daripada tidur di atas katil sebab asyik tidur jek tak syok jugak. Aku tulis post kali ini sebab aku tengah rasa seronok dan bahagia. Saja nak kongsi kebahagiaan di pagi ahad. Kadang-kadang, setelah penat menyibukkan diri sepanjang minggu, rasa enak dapat berehat seketika tanpa perlu memikirkan apa-apa komitmen. Akan tetapi tak bolehlah terlebih-lebih takut penyakit malas pulak yang datang nanti.

my midwest trip

2011-06-03T15:44:00.004-04:00

I have been very busy lately and only now I have the free time to give this blog some updates about my life. I just finished doing my exam today and it feels so good. Last weekend, there was this event organized by Malaysian government i think. The event is more like a sport event to gather students who are studying all over the United States of America. It is called the Midwest games, probably because it has always been held in Midwest. This year Midwest games was in University of Wisconsin-Madison. This is by far the most beautiful university I have ever been to. It is really big and is situated exactly inside the big city of Madison which is also the capitol of Wisconsin. The city is surrounded by a big lake. I'm not sure of the name of the lake but i think it is Lake Mendota and the panorama is amazingly mesmerizing. We lost all the games but it has been a great experience and i'm glad i went there.

::SOCCER TOURNAMENT::

Like i said, we lost all the games but on that day although we did not manage to win any game we are still a winner to ourself. hehe. So, after the game we got this ticket to go canoeing at Lake Mendota and eating ice cream for free. I felt very excited because I have never row a boat on a beautiful lake during sunset in my life and i should never let this awesome opportunity go although my back was in pain from playing 3 soccer games in a row with only one hour rest for each game. It turned out to be great. The canoeing experience was definitely one of the best thing I have ever done in Wisconsin.

::Lake Mendota with love::

makan-makan

2011-05-24T15:58:00.001-04:00

Semalam hari Isnin dan biasanya kitorang duduk rumah sajalah sebab besoknya nak sekolahkan. Tak pernahlah plak terfikir nak keluar makan malam kat luar sebab nanti esoknya takut mengantuk plak dalam kelas. Tidak seperti biasa, Aakif ajak makan dekat luar plak malam tadi. Rasa macam malas jugaklah nak keluar sebab esoknyakan nak sekolah tetapi memandangkan ini ialah summer semester jadi kelas agak lengang dan satu-staunya kelas yang aku ada mula pukul 12.40 tengah hari. So, macam oklah kalau nak keluar balik lewat malam. Lagipun bukan selalu diorang ni nak ajak makan kat luar, lagi-lagi waktu malam. Peluang sebegini jangan dipersiakan. Kitorang just makan-makan pizza dekat satu Pizza house ni and order air sedap-sedap. Then, bila pizza sampai kat meja kitorang tiba-tiba diorang suruh buat wish hari jadi. aku agak speechlesslah sebab tak expect pon diorang tahu sekarang ni birthday aku. Lagipon diorang ni pon bukannya the type of people yang semangat sangat pasal birthday. Walaupun tak ada apa-apa pon yang fancy-fancy, agak terharu jugaklah sebab entah memang macam tu kot rasanya bila orang bercakap pasal birthday kita masa birthday kita. Especially when it is from someone yg kita least expected. entahlah. haha memang lawak. Anyway, i appreciate everything that they did. terima kasih.

happy 21st birthday to me

2011-05-22T12:23:00.005-04:00

Happy Birthday

Happy birthday to me. haha. On this date in the year 1990 I was born in this world. Thank Allah for that and thank Him too for still giving me the chance to breathe this wonderful oxygen until now. I have a lot of thing to be thankful for. I have a great family, amazing friends and beautiful life. Even though my life is not perfect and has many flaws I'm happy and very contented with what I have. Alhamdulillah.

My family doesn't really celebrate birthday so my parent never wish me happy birthday. That does not bother me at all though. What important is we know that we love each other. I still remember when I was a little kid, I saw in television how people celebrate their birthday with cake so I asked my mom to buy a birthday cake for me and she bought it. That was it. That was the first and the last time I celebrated my birthday with my family. haha it does sound funny. We just don't celebrate birthday. I too never wish my mom and dad happy birthday. Diorang tak kisah pun. Enough about my rant on my birthday. I just hope a better life and a better me in the future. 21 is a big number. It means that I am an adult according to the law. Happy Birthday to me again and to those people who were also born on this date. Cherish your life and the people around you and always be thankful to Allah.

When I was cycling back home just now, it just felt so wrong to not taking any picture of this dandelion. The scenery is too beautiful and I want to share this wonderful feeling with anyone who reads my blog. Enjoy.

p/s: i've passed my driving road test. Alhamdulillah. Now, I'm officialy a legal driver. I'm so excited.

summer classes has begun

2011-05-17T18:41:00.000-04:00

sandal in summer

Summer sudah menjelma tapi suhu akhir-akhir ini sangat sejuk. Sangat berbeza dengan summer tahun lepas yang kalau waktu macam ini sudah terasa bahang kepanasannya. Tahun ini, tengah hari pun sejuk sangat sampai kena pakai sweater. Sejuk tak sejuknya, kayuh basikal bersungguh-sungguh sampai termengah-mengah pun tak keluar peluh. Mungkin summer tahun ini lambat sedikit. Anyways, lately ada macam-macam benda going on in my life. My summer classes dah start semalam and so far so good. Cuma kelas Integrative Studies in Arts and Humanities (IAH) tadi agak membosankan. Walaupun semangat aku agak berkobar-kobar untuk menjadikan semester ini satu semester yang berjaya (memandangkan semester-semesterku sebelum ini bukanlah sesuatu yang boleh dibangga-banggakan), tapi memang susah nak maintain semangat membakar dalam kelas ni. Pertama sekali kelas ini ialah kelas yang memerlukan pendapat dan perbincangan yang hangat antara ahli kelas. Memandangkan my English speaking skill sangat-sangat tidak best, aku kurang berminat untuk menyertai perbincangan-perbincangan mereka yang susah aku nak follow. Keduanya, the duration of the class is too long. Bayangkan kita kena ada dalam kelas dan mendengar lecture tentang falsafah dunia dan kemanusiaan selama 4 jam dari pukul 12.30 tengah hari hingga 4.30 petang dengan waktu rehat hanya sepuluh minit. Habis kebas dan sengal-sengal semua bahagian anggota badan. Walaubagaimanapun, aku agak bersyukur jugak ambik kelas ini sebab kelas ini basically discuss about cinema and globalization. So, kelas ini macam we give our opinion about movies picked by the lecturer. In every class we'll have an hour session of movie analysis, followed by an hour lecture and 2 jam terakhir is movie time. So, it's not as bad as other IAH classes. Aku cuma berharap agar aku dapat konsisten dalam pelajaran dan tidak berputus asa di tengah jalan. I want a positive change in my life. I don't want to do the same mistake over and over again in every semester. This semester has got to be different. On a different note, this Thursday I'll be taking my driving license road test and hopefully I'll pass. Dah berbulan-bulan training bawak kereta illegally, harap-harapnya sudah mantaplah teknik pemanduan aku This weekend pulak, we'll be having a bbq picnic dekat Hawk Island. That's why I love summer because there are so many things to do.

farewell party

2011-05-12T08:24:00.000-04:00

basuh-basuh kereta

Hari ini sangat cantik dengan sinaran matahari, pohon-pohon menghijau, bunga-bunga warna-warni dan udara yang segar. Cuaca hari ini sangat panas walaupun ramalan kaji cuaca meramalkan bakal hujan kilat di tengah hari. Kami pon bercadang untuk membasuh kereta kami yang sudah lama tidak dimandikan. Seperti biasa, jika hendak membasuh kereta, kami akan pergi ke rumah Abang Zahrin dan Kak Azzah kerana perkakasan membasuh semuanya lengkap di sana lagipun kalau pergi ke sana, mesti Kak Azzah masak sedap-sedap. Jangkaan kami ternyata benar dan tidak meleset sama sekali kerana kami dihidangkan dengan sajian mee kari yang lazat dan menyelerakan. Terima kasih Kak Azzah. Kitorang bawak Ameerul sekali sebab petang ini adalah petang terakhir untuk dia di East Lansing kerana esok dia akan menaiki kapal terbang pulang ke negara tercinta Malaysia untuk satu bulan setengah. So, kiranya ini lebih kurang farewell partylah untuk dia. Semoga dia bergembira di samping keluarga tercinta yang dah lama rindu dah.

Rumah Abang Zahrin dan Kak Azzah yang comel lote.

Selepas pulang dari rumah Kak Azzah, berlaku sedikit peristiwa tergempar sebab aku ingatkan kamera yang telah menyumbang banyak gambar di blog ini dan satu-satunya kamera yang sangat menanigful bagi aku hilang. Panik aku cari kamera tu tapi last-last, aku letak dalam plastik rupanya ,masa nak cuci bahagian dalam kereta. Nasib baik tak hilang kamera tu. Kalau tak entahlah.

Oklah kereta kami pon dah bersih and now kami dah ready nak ke Detroit tomorrow untuk menghantar Ameerul, Nazrin dan Nor ke airport. Selamat jalan kawan-kawan. Sayangilah keluarga anda dan make sure you spent a lot of quality time with your family.

first summer vacation of the year

2011-05-10T10:54:00.003-04:00

Assalamualaikum and good morning everyone. I just got back home from a wonderful vacation at the beautiful lakeside of Muskegon. This is is an annual vacation of Malaysian Student Organization (MSO) at my university and the main purpose is to celebrate graduating seniors di samping mengeratkan silaturrahim di antara kita. We rent two summer houses by the lakeside and spent time together for two days and one night for the last time before all the seniors go back to Malaysia to pursue their dream and becoming successful in the next level of their life- the working life. I wish them all good luck and all the best. Unfortunately I don't have the picture at the lake beach because there was a problem with my camera. However, I managed to take some pictures at Holland, the second place we visited after Muskegon. As implied by the name, Holland is a place in Michigan that looked almost the same as the real Holland. It's probably because the early immigrant who developed this area once upon a time came from Holland. Holland is famous for its beautiful tulips and dutch culture. It's a nice place to visit.

Our trip ended with a treat from Kak Siti. Dia belanja kitorang makan aiskrim and ternyata ais krim itu sedap sekali. Terima Kasih Kak Siti. The vacation was amazing and I am really happy. Looking forward for more vacation during this summer. Holiday is fun.

goodbye spring semester 2011

2011-05-05T22:10:00.000-04:00

This post is specially written to celebrate the end of my finals week of spring semester 2011. I felt relief and so happy right now. I no longer have to take physics and organic chemistry courses after this. Overall, i think this semester is better than my previous semester but there's still a lot of room for improvement. I need to work harder and discipline my self next time. because of my poor skill of organization, i felt that my studying is a mess and it's hard to focus. that is for sure one of the skills that i have to work more on after this. I'm not sure what the result of this semester will be but right now i don't want to think about it yet. I just want to relax and enjoy the things that i can't do during school days. Congratulation to myself and all of my friends and also to anybody who has just finished their semester. To those who are still doing their finals, keep struggling and i wish you all the best.

Beaumont Tower

2011-04-30T00:21:00.003-04:00

Gambar di atas ini ialah gambar Michigan State University main library. Besar perpustakaan ini. Ada beratus-ratus komputer dan banyak gila tempat belajar yang selesa. Tetapi di dalam post kali ini yang mahu saya ceritakan bukanlah tentang library ini tetapi tentang sebuah bangunan lama yang terletak betul-betul berhadapan dengan library yang ditunjukkan di atas. Bangunan yang dimaksudkan ialah Beaumont Tower. Bangunan ini merupakan salah satu bangunan terawal yang dibina di MSU dan merupakan mercu tanda universiti ini. Walaupun bangunan ini hanyalah sebuah menara jam tetapi ia sangat cantik dan menawan. Pada pendapat saya orang puth ini sangat mementingkan reka bentuk bangunan. Hatta bangunan yang sangat tidak penting seperti stor pon mempunyai reka bentuk yang sangat terperinci dan punyai nilai estetika yang tinggi. Walaubagaimanapun, hal ini hanya benar terhadap reka bentuk bangunan-bangunan lama kerana bangunan-bangunan yang dibina di era moden agak kurang memberangsangkan kecantikannya. Begitu juga halnya dengan kediaman orang miskin yang sangat tidak terurus dan tunggang langgang. Namun begitu,janganlah kita biarkan perkara itu melunturkan semangat kita untuk menghargai kecantikan Beaumont Tower ini yang turut diserikan lagi dengan kembangan kuntuman bunga warna-warni di musim bunga. The Spring has sprung! Let us enjoy the beauty of nature.

lounge the day away

2011-04-28T02:35:00.009-04:00

I slept late last night to study for organic chemistry test 3 earlier this afternoon. The test was hard and I did not come really prepared. I thought, I have time to enjoy at least until this Friday before having to face the bad result of the exam. Unfortunately, the lecturer marked the paper so fast that just 4 hours after the exam, the result had come out and as expected my result is really bad. I know the final exam is just next week and after getting a bad result for this test, I really need to put extra effort if I want to do well for the final but I'm still tired from last night's study and I don't think I have the mood to study more tonight. So I went out with ameerul and aliff to release the stress i'm having and hopefully by tomorrow I can start a new fresh mode to study. We went for dinner at Charlie Kang's Chinese and Korean Cuisine. This is my first time eating Korean food. All this while I just watched and heard all these food in k-drama. We ordered Schezwan Shrimp, Duk Bok Gi, Shrimp delight, shrimp fried rice and of course the famous kimchi. The food was delicious and the price was quite reasonable.

--------------------------------Charlie Kang's Chinese and Korean Cuisine ---------------------------------

After having dinner, I still felt thirsty. Maybe it is because I have a selsema right now and my throat needed a lot amount of water to feel relief. So, we all agreed to go hanging out at Bubble Island. They have various types of tea such as Milk Tea, Green Tea, Thai Tea, smoothies and the best thing is there is bubble-bubble in your drinks. This bubbles are made up of starch and taste like jelly. I like it very much because it feels like you are chewing your tea but some people did not like it as much as I did. Ameerul said he dislikes it very much because the jelly is tasteless. Anyway, Bubble Island is a really nice place. It has cozy atmosphere that make us feel relaxed and comfortable. It is a good place to sembang-sembang and lounge the day away.

------------------------------------------------Bubble Island------------------------------------------------

That's all from me today. This is just a random post that I made after failing an exam. Thank you. See you next time after final if you want to see me again.

hidup ini memang indah

2011-04-24T19:18:00.000-04:00

Seperti yang semua sedia maklum, minggu ini saya ada exam yang sangat susah dan mencabar. Oleh kerana itu saya pergi ke perpustakaan untuk mengulang kaji pelajaran. Namun, ketika dalam perjalanan ke perpustakaan, saya kagum tersungguh kagum melihat keindahan alam ciptaan Allah ini. Jadi saya mengambil keputusan untuk menangkap beberapa keping gambar permandangan indah musim bunga di Michigan State University sebelum menelaah pelajaran di perpustakaan. Peluang mengambil gambar-gambar indah sebegini jangan sekali-kali dilepaskan kerana perkara indah tidak datang selalu. Hargailah keindahan dalam hidup kita kerana hidup ini memang indah jika kita percaya.

Terima kasih kepada fotografer bersama, Amin dan Aiman. dan pemilik kamera, Nizam.

summer love

2011-04-23T02:03:00.004-04:00

Orgo exam is next week and i'm feeling very nervous. to make it worst my nervousness is not helping me in studying harder at all. instead, i'm watching useless tv shows to distract my mind from thinking about the exam and just hoping the time will pass by faster. of course this is not healthy because if i keep this up, i will end up not prepared for the exam which will lead me screwing the exam and in the end i'll be the one who's frustrated and disappointed. what i want to say in this post is actually about summer. i don't think summer is that exciting but right now the only thing that i really really can't wait to come is summer because when summer comes it means holiday and it means the end of this organic chemistry semester. i hate orgo so much because i screwed the exam all the time. this summer i'll be taking classes for a month and a half and the rest of it i'll be spending my holiday with my beloved family and friends in Malaysia. i miss them so much and i can't wait to meet them. before going back to malaysia, there is this one awesome destination that i will singgah sebentar. this destination is one of the places in my list of dream places that i have to visit at least once in my life. the dream places that i meant is Korea. South Korea.

I don't really know why i want to go there so much but most probably it's because of the k-drama influence. i have watched many k-dramas until now and some of them really inspire me a lot. k-drama actually plays an important part in the improvement of the quality of my lifestyle. The reason why i put a big love at the beginning of this post is because i feel that love is somehow one of Korean's significant identities. Most of their k-dramas are all about love, same goes to k-pop, and it seems that they really treasure love as something that is very pure and miraculous. Hopefully, i will get to enjoy some summer loves in Korea this July. Saranghae.

this might be my last post for the time being. final exam is coming and i have to make sure my day is busy with studying. however, i might post something before or during the finals week if i feel the need to release some tension in my head. wish me luck and let us strive together for success.

sunday pleasure

2011-04-17T22:50:00.001-04:00

Ameerul and I went to the bus stop on this very cold weather to get on the 4.58 p.m. bus only to realize that the bus actually came earlier and we had missed it. we had to wait for another one hour for the next bus to come to go back home. it's crazy to wait outside for an hour in this weather. we could freeze to death. so we just entered one of the many shops in grand river avenue for shelter. it happened that one hour was too long for us to just walk around the shop doing nothing, so we ended up buying clothes for ourselves. haha there goes my thirty dollars going down the drain.

trying out some funky looking shades

Sunday has ended and welcome weekdays. Bring it on. I don't know why but usually i'll feel terrible on sunday night but right now i'm having quite a pleasant feeling. Looking forward for a fantastic week ahead.

spending time at the library

2011-04-16T20:34:00.008-04:00

It's weekend! and I felt great! when I was in school, my teacher always reminded us of the exam and said "the exam is just around the corner". this idiom became very popular among students especially when the exam is actually around the corner. So in another two weeks I will be having my spring semester 2011 final exam and after that it'll be summer holiday. i really can't wait for summer to come but before that i have to make sure i used all my precious little time wisely so that i won't be crying of disappointment after the dreadful finals week. i have always find it difficult to study at home. too many distractions. there's a lot of food and television and also the comfy bed always make me sleepy all day long. so today, despite the fact that it is the weekend, i decided to go to the library and gratefully it is a wise decision. i managed to finish my physics homework way ahead of the due date and i'm feeling very proud of myself. yeah. so here are some of the pictures i've taken in the library. it's fun to spend time at the library during the weekend. you should do it too.

One of the interesting feature at MSU library is this moving racks. We can move the rack of books just by pushing the button on that black thing. When i pushed the button i felt like i was studying in the Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. awesome. it just felt so magical looking at big racks of books moving just by the touch of your fingertip. Expecto petronum!

that's the end of my trip to the library. wish me luck for the finals. hopefully i can do well. and hopefully i will work my ass off and try my best. i don't want to give up and be a quitter. pray for me everyone.

the wise teeth

2011-04-15T17:04:00.026-04:00

Tahukah anda apa itu bersugi. Mari saya ceritakan. Bersugi itu ialah satu perbuatan untuk membersihkan gigi dan mulut.Bersugi hukumnya adalah sunat dan waktu-waktu yang paling dituntut bersugi ialah setelah bangun dari tidur, sebelum hendak menunaikan solat, ketika hendak membaca Al-Quran dan ketika mulut sudah berbaulah. Saya selalu gosok gigi dua kali sehari iaitu sebelum tidur dan setelah bangkit dari beradu.

Rasulullah saw sangat suka bersugi dan menggalakkan umatnya untuk bersugi seperti bunyinya hadis ini.

Dari Abu Hurairah r.a. dari Nabi s.a.w. telah bersabda : “Kalau tidaklah akan menyusahkan umatku akan aku suruh mereka bersugi pada tiap-tiap waktu ketika berwuduk “. (Riwayat Ahmad)

Hendak bersugi senang saja. Gunakan apa-apa saja alat bersugi iaitu tiap-tiap sesuatu yang suci dan kesat seperti berus gigilah yang paling mudah sekali. Cara perlaksanaan bersugi hendaklah dengan tangan kanan dan dimulakan dengan sebelah kanan mulut dan terus dilakukan atas langit-langit mulut dengan perlahan-lahan serta ke atas gusi dan gigi

Bercakap pasal gigi, for the past two years, aku selalu mengalami sakit gusi dan gigi berkala gara-gara tumbuhnya gigi-gigi bongsu. Bukan satu tapi ada empat kesemuanya. Dua gigi bongsu di bahagian atas sudah selamat tumbuh sepenuhnya dan sekarang ada dua lagi di bahagian bawah dalam proses penumbuhan. Sakit gila. Setiap kali gigi-gigi ini tumbuh, gusi tempat gigi itu akan pecah dan berdarah. Gigi bongsu tumbuh menandakan kita sudah dewasa dan matang kerana gigi bongsu seperti yang tertera pada namanya adalah gigi yang terakhir sekali untuk tumbuh. Dalam bahasa inggeris gigi bongsu dipanggil wise teeth. Nampak kontra namanya.

the power of mango lassi

2011-04-09T02:09:00.001-04:00

The weather was very lovely today. So, we decided to go to Sindhu restaurant after planning to go there since last two months. Only today we have the mood and the time to enjoy an amazing dinner at Sindhu, an Indian restaurant. The chicken, meat and lamb are all halal and very delicious too. I know in my last post, I wanted to stop talking about food but I change my mind. Food is amazing and we should never stop talking about them.

Sindhu is a great place for having dinner once in a while. The atmosphere is great, the food is delicious and the service is excellent. Although, the food arrived late at our table, it's not a big problem because the waiting time is the quality time that we should spend to mengeratkan silaturrahim with the person we are having our dinner with.

One of the best food that you should try at least once in a lifetime is this mango lassi. It is made up of mango and yogurt and believe me it is very delicious. I noticed that mango lassi can be found on top of the table of almost every customer. To show to all of you how powerful this mango lassi is. If you happen to see mango lassi anywhere you should never miss it.

For the main entrée, we chose Lamb Kadai and Sindhu Special Chicken. I don't want to repeat the word delicious over and over again but I don't know what else to say because all the food was simply delicious and mouth-watering.

I really enjoyed my day today and I really hope next time there will be more people joining me at the dinner table because this is the best place to share our story and of course mengeratkan silaturrahim di antara kita.

the tale of strawberry and pineapple

2011-04-08T12:44:00.005-04:00

I just realize now that all my posts this week are all about food. What can I do? Food is the only interesting thing that happened to me this week. I really need to get inspired and do something big. I could not let any more precious time of mine get wasted.

A mug of tea on a lovely evening

2011-04-07T12:50:00.007-04:00

Yesterday evening, I was having a mug of green tea which is one of my usaha murni to live a healthy lifestyle. Tea generally is very healthy. It has a whole lot of goodness that it can prolong your life. So while I was drinking this tea, I noticed there was an interesting quote on the uncang teh. I think it's very creative to put quote on each uncang of tea. Drinking tea is very revitalizing and calming, while looking at inspirational quote is simply inspiring. Both of them go well together. Reading quote while drinking a mug of tea has made my mundane Wedeneday evening felt pretty good.

They call it Brunch

2011-04-06T16:07:00.002-04:00

On weekdays I've classes in the morning and in the evening. It is about 20 minutes distance between my house and my class if I'm taking the bus and it could be more than 30 minutes if I walk there despite the status of my housing area as on campus. MSU is a big university and I don't have the time to cook nasi and lauk pauk every single day. I also don't want to waste my money eating at the campus since the food sold there is not worth buying. It's not that I don't like American food, it's just that most of their delicious food is haram. So, my alternative is this awesome do-it-yourself burger yang mengenyangkan and very cheap as well. I just put the chicken patty in the oven for 30-45 minutes at 400 degree Fahrenheit and spread some mayonnaise and chili sauce on each bread. I also fried an egg for the extra ummphh. Not to forget, I also added a natural low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese string and let it melted in the oven on top of the chicken patty. Simple, quick, easy and delicious. My daily brunch. Why brunch? because I am too lazy to take breakfast and lunch separately. Taking them both at one time is enough and convenient.

The Brunch Burger.

Brownies Cokelatte

2011-04-04T23:14:00.000-04:00

Last friday I made a homemade Brownies Cokelatte segera dari kotak. Hanya tambah sedikit air, sebiji telur ayam besar dan sesudu biasa minyak sayuran. Unfortunately, I forgot to put the sesudu minyak sayuran and my Brownies Cokelatte ended up as hard as stone. Mungkin juga dia jadi keras sebab aku letak air sikit sangat kot. Kek segera yang mudah macam tu pon fail nak buat. Aduyikess. Tapi Alhamdulillah habis juga Brownies ini dimakan oleh aku seorang. Roommate tak nak makan sebab keras sangat kot.

Laundry Day

2011-04-03T10:51:00.001-04:00

I like the feeling after cleaning the house and doing the laundry because I can see cleanliness, tidiness, and neatness everywhere. I like being neat, clean and tidy and if possible I want everything around me to be clean and beautiful. People always relate cleanliness and neatness to women and this should not be true. I'm a man and I like being clean and I'm proud of it. Cleanliness is not the responsibility of one gender. We should clean our house and do our laundry at least once a week because when we feel clean we can do our daily routine more effectively and excellently. After all, cleanliness is just next to Godliness.

“Diriwayatkan dari Sa’ad bin Abi Waqas dari bapaknya, dari Rasulullah saw. :

Sesungguhnya Allah SWT itu suci yang menyukai hal-hal yang suci, Dia Maha Bersih yang menyukai kebersihan, Dia Mahamulia yang menyukai kemuliaan, Dia Maha Indah yang menyukai keindahan, karena itu bersihkanlah tempat-tempatmu”

(HR. Tirmizi)

Sesuatu yang Indah

2011-03-28T17:11:00.007-04:00

Hari itu aku dengar satu lagu original soundtrack filem Dalam Mihrab Cinta. Aku tak tahu sangat pasal filem ini tapi apa yang pasti aku sangat suka dengan salah satu lagu dalam ostnya. Banyak lagu yang menarik tapi yang paling aku tertarik ialah lagu Bunga-bunga cinta sebab lirik dia sangat cantik terutama sekali bahagian awal lagu yang dinyanyikan oleh Asmirandah.

"Sesuatu yang indah tumbuh dalam gundah, harum dan merekah".

Mungkin ada beda Bahasa Melayu dengan Bahasa Indonesia tentang maksud merekah sebab dalam Bahasa Melayu maknanya merekah itu macam pecah tetapi di sini merekah itu seperti sesuatu yang sangat cantik pula. Mungkin merekah itu membawa maksud tersebar berkeliaran kerana apabila sesuatu merekah akan terhasil cabang-cabang rekahan di seluruh cermin yang pecah. Bau harum yang tumbuh kemudian merekah ke seluruh taman barangkali. Aku terus menjadikan lirik lagu ini sebagai ayat teratas sekali kerana aku dapat rasakan ada ketenangan dalama ayat tersebut. Lagipun sudah tertera di dalam Al Kitab yang kita junjung tentang kebenaran ayat itu berkaitan perkara duka lara. Janganlah kita bersedih dan terlalu meratapi kesusahan yang kita hadapi kerana insyaAllah sesuatu yang indah bakal tumbuh dalam gundah di hati. Percayalah padaNya.

Ribut yang Menyenangkan

2011-02-02T20:42:00.000-05:00

Hari ini Michigan State University (MSU) memberi cuti kepada pelajarnya setelah ramalan kaji cuaca meramalkan ribut salji bakal melanda East Lansing. This is the forth time dalam sejarah MSU. Kali terakhir peristiwa seumpama ini berlaku pada tahun 1965, 1975 dan 1978.

Dari malam tadi kitorang tengok kat luar tertanya-tanya macam manalah agaknya ribut salji kan sebab tahun lepas tak ada pon MSU bagi cuti. Sesungguhnya memang cantiklah snow storm ni. My best experience with snow.

Expected snow is as high as 16 inches tapi I think this is more than that.

Bahagian depan rumah pon dah paras lutut.

Lebih tinggi dari paras lutut.

Cantikkan snow.

Boleh main baling-baling.

Boleh tangkap2 gambar.

Boleh baring-baring.

Boleh panjat tinggi-tinggi.

Kemudian terus meluncur laju.

Boleh juga buat little snow angel.

Saya suka snow di Spartan Village.

Jumpa lagi.

Dunia Ajaib Musim Salji

2011-01-29T17:07:00.001-05:00

Meter suhu di desktopku pada hari itu menunjukkan bacaan 6.8 degree Fahrenheit atau pun lebih mesra dikenali dengan -14 degree Celcius. Aku melihat ke tingkap bilikku dan mendapati kawasan kejirananku yang dikenali sebagai Spartan Village telah berubah dengan mendadaknya. Ia telah berubah menjadi dunia ajaib musim salji yang menakjubkan!

Mari! mari! berjalan-jalan bersamaku di suhu yang dingin sekali ini. Kita terokai the winter wonderland of Spartan Village neighborhood.

"Kring Kring". Jam loceng kegemranku berbunyi. Ku lihat ke tingkap dan menjerit dalam hati, "Salji datang lagi!".

Aku pon segera bergegas ke luar rumah untuk melihat sendiri salji yang turun.

p/s: Rumah aku yang ada alas kaki tu.

Ternyata salji memang benar-benar turun.

Salji-salji menyelimuti seluruh alam. Hatiku semakin gembira. Aku bergegas lagi.

Namun keselamatan haruslah diutamakan. Kemungkinan untuk tergelincir ketika menuruni tangga itu ada memandangkan keadaan tangga itu yang penuh dengan salji-salji.

Tangga itu berjaya ku turuni.

Kereta pun beku dari segenap penjuru.

Kami beli used car ini pada bulan September yang lalu.

Kesan tapak kakiku.

Kalau nak tengok winter wonderland ni kena cepat kerana winter scenery hanya cantik usai salji turun. Selepas itu, salji-salji ini akan dicemari dengan kekotoran yang dibawa oleh kenderaan-kenderaan dan manusia yang berjalan di atasnya.

Sebelum dicemari

Setelah dicemari.

Sekarang mari kita lihat rumah-rumah di Spartan Village.

Bahagian belakang rumahku.

Bahagian belakang rumah orang lain.

Taman permainan Spartan Village.

Pokok-pokok semua hibernate ketika musim salji.

Basikal tidak dapat berfungsi.

Satu reason kenapa ramai tidak suka Winter. Tapi aku suka aje.

sebab winter sangat cantik.

kan?

Maka selesailah sudah our adventure in winter wonderland of Spartan Village neighborhood, the neighborhood where I live. Next time when I found another wonderland, I'll let you know.

See you later kawan-kawan.

Satu Bukit di Frandor

2010-12-19T17:50:00.002-05:00

Hari ini saya dan rakan-rakan sekali lagi meluncur dekat satu bukit di Frandor bersempena meraikan kedatangan cuti musim sejuk yang indah. Macam main gelungsur gergasi tapi atas dia ada habuk-habuk putih. Bertambah seronok bila kita main dengan kawan-kawan. Sambil bermain sambil merapatkan silaturrahim di antara kita. Jadi sudah seronok begini, apa lagi? Marilah kita mengucapkan Alhamdulillah Syukur.

Jejaka-jejaka MSU.

Get ready to fly.

Dari atas bukit

An afternoon with you

2010-11-24T18:10:00.000-05:00

"Aku memang manusia biasa yang tak sempurna dan kadang salah.

Namun di hatiku hanya satu, cinta untukmu luar biasa"

So today I spent my afternoon cooking Kari Ayam using rempah kari Shan yang mahal tu.

Nak masaknya senang saja. Mula-mula potonglah bawang.

Potong dan hirislah juga bahan-bahan yang berkaitan.

Adib Afandi kata letak Cinnamon stick, and cloves and kayu-kayu yang lain boleh jadikan kari kita wangi dan bertambah lazat.

Aturlah semua bahan-bahan dengan kemas supaya mudah untuk memasak nanti.

Ayam yang dibeli mestilah dibasuh dan dibuang lemaknya terdahulu.

Ada 4 langkah saja lepas tu siaplah kari ayam untuk dimakan di afternoon ini.

Kari ayam menggunakan serbuk kari Shan yang mahal tu.

Kita orang Melayu makan nasi hari-hari.

Kalau ditakdirkan Allah, kita jumpalah lagi di afternoon yang lain.

Happy Afternoon!

Menjalani Kasih Sayang

2010-11-11T23:44:00.000-05:00

Sejak bermulanya semester yang baru sampailah hari ini, masa berlalu dengan pantas. Sedar tak sedar fall dah nak habis. Sedar tak sedar dah nak dekat winter. Sedar tak sedar dah banyak buang masa. Sedar tak sedar I have made the same mistakes again. Sedar tak sedar I want to change again. Sedar tak sedar I go back to square one. Sedar tak sedar kat situ je lah aku ni rupenya. X kemana pong.

Mimpi

2010-07-17T13:00:00.003-04:00

Aku ada impian tapi aku rasa impian itu takkan menjadi kenyataan tapi jugak aku sangat gembira jika impian itu menjadi kenyataan. Tak salah rasanya kalau aku terus berangan-angan. Siapa tahu dengan izin Allah mimpi-mimpiku boleh menjadi kenyataan. I want to make my dreams the inspiration of my life. I want to make my dreams come true even though my dreams are not something that can be achieved easily or even possible to be realized. I don't care. My dreams will come true one day because I believe it will.

"Dream on, dream on, dream on until your dreams come true"

-Aerosmith, Dream On

Don't stop believin', hold on to the feelin'
