The story of us

Where should I start? Hmm… ok on Xmas day I spend little to chat with Bel (my best friend & my neighbour). Because I don’t make it home this year, I ask her to become my eyes, my ears. Even to drink on behalf of me heheh. During conversation, I ask her what happen back there in kampong? How is Xmas? Any “big” story? Any new from others? (friends)

Forgot about Xmas coz this is not Xmas story. Bla bla bla bla….

Bel: Weh, Emy will get first child this January
Me: Really? Great! Finally. The first one haha

Among “us”, Emy is the first one to married, and the first one to have a child. There are many of “us”, school together since we are in primary school. Since we are grow up together, school and hostel, our bond is strong. Even we separated during secondary school (the same school actually but different classes), our relationship still going strong.
Among these “many of us” there are few of us that are really... really… close. Myself, Bel, Na, Emy, Nereus, Pal and Nadine. Not directly close but the “third person connection” makes us close. Complicated relationship right?

Now we are all over Malaysia but it’s not a problem for us to keep in touch, communicate especially in this era of IT & Facebook. Once or twice in year, during Gawai & Christmas we made a small reunion, gathering, bbq, karaoke, chit chat and have fun.

There is famous topic that we always discuss when we meet up. “When will you getting married & who will the first one?” Most of us denied it. “We are still young”. “I want to enjoy my life first”, “get a stable life first”, “no candidate”, “frust of relationship”, “not ready”, etc… Unlike the other of “us” (the many of “us” group) some of them already married & have a couple of children. Mostly because of MBA – Married By Accident.

Back to the 7 of us, everybody seems to reject the idea of early marriage. But who knows, and by God will, Emy, the most unexpected person is the first. I even joke to her “Mie, if we still single until 30, both of us married la.” And among “us”, I am the last one to know… duh!

Hope it not too late for Emmy Christy Vincent, Congratulation!

Who next? to be continued….

Christmas Eve

Silent night... holy night...
all is calm, all is bright
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ! the Saviour is born..


Its not the first time I celebrate Christmas away from home and family. In fact, few times I celebrate Christmas and Gawai by myself. I don't know but this year the feeling is so different. Oh God... I really miss home.

I remember Christmas 2003 in Arau, which is 7 years ago. That is the last time I celebrate Christmas away from home. Compare to my feeling now, that time i can handle it. I didn't miss home at all.... and I know why.

Back there in Arau, demographically the population mostly Muslim. Hard to find Chinese, Indian or other races there. Same also with the place where I studied, UiTM Arau... I remember only me, 1 bidayuh girl from Bau and 1 Iban girl from Sri Aman the only Christian there. There are others but I don't really know about them. My friends, roommates and classmates are all Muslim.

Here in KL, surrounding by Christian friends, Christmas everywhere in KL. Christmas deco, music, functions, Christmas sales... etc. plus, seeing my friends status in facebook, enjoying their Christmas, enjoying their holiday make feel even more sad.

Compare to Arau, there is no such thing. The atmosphere are very different. Everyday is just a normal day. Except Hari Raya. But the good thing is, it make me forget (not totally forget la) what the day is. On christmas day I with few of my friends go to Kangar and suprisingly, they buy me barbecue chicken from Ayamas to celebrate Christmas. Terharu juga la my muslim friends do that thing hahahaha. Thanks guy for the great time we have spend together.

Merry Christmas All!

Football nonsense



Lepas draw awal pagi tadi maka confirm lah AC Milan vs Man Utd. Classic! Memang aku sudah jangka lagi lepas last game group stage. Hampir semua member aku sokong MU. "Habis la Milan".. Tapi takpe. Apa yang aku boleh cakap sekarang... "Wait & see. Kita tengok la sape yang kena nanti"

Tengok atas kertas, line up & player, memang setanding. Technically... Milan is better than Man Utd. Pirlo better than Carrick, Gattuso better than Fletcher, Flamini/Ambro better than Anderson, Seedorf more fast than Scholes... bla bla bla...

But one big weakness is Age & strength in depth. Milan 1st eleven is good... maybe far more better than Man Utd. But can they play 2 times in a week? No!!!!. Look at Giggs & Scholes at MU. Their manager can get the very best of them, despite their age. & they only one in a week or once in 2 weeks. Kalau nak rest Pirlo, Seedorf, Zambro, Ambrosini, Nesta or Ronaldinho... sape nak ganti? None of the reserve is capable enough....

Anyway... I still believe AC MILAN can win the Champions League. Forza Rossoneri!

To be honest

Thing that you may never know about me. Not honest enough, but this what I feel about myself to be honest...

1. I'm so addicted to graphic design but i'm so lazy to design anything. Thats why I quit graphic design and take business course

2. Do something without thinking, but will regret it later

3. Still dont have any license... dah mok masuk 24 hahahaahha

4. Love cooking, but never admit it (until now hahaha) coz I'm the only one dare to eat it.

5. Tak suka baju yg diseterika. Memang aku renyukkan balik. Rimas la

6. I hate pets. Cats, dogs etc...

7. Afraid of mouse. I'm the first one to run

8. Nervous when thinking about serious relationship. Can I?

9. Very close to my mum, but doesn't mean I'm "anak mak"

10. First love on primary six. Wow! that 18 years ago. Now still keep in touch with each other.

11. Think I'm rock enough. My fav is Incubus, Weezer, Lifehouse, Silverchair but I also like Colbie Cailat & Taylor swift :p

11 is enough. Others is secret

Wonders

When mention about wonders, maybe the first thing came out from your mind is the pyramid, colosseum, great wall of China, Taj Mahal, Panama canal, Pisa building, Stonehenge, Babylon Garden or even KLCC. I not very sure which one is included in the 7 wonders of the world.

Forget about that. Lets talk about our wonders, or specificly the thing (both God & human creation) that we feel is wonders. Whatever the reason is... below is my shortlist of the 7 wonders., minus money. Just leave it alone this time.

1. Girls/Women
God greatest creation for men. Any arguement? Thanks God for creating such a _____ (no word can explain) being :D

2. Internet
I'm using it now hehehe. WOW! just amazing!

3. Food
I know food is a basic need for human :P

4. Music
Imagine life without music ;)

5. Football/Soccer
No 1 sport in the world. Why people so obsess with 22 people on a field chasing for 1 ball. Aren't they stupid????

6. Aeroplane
Until now i still thinking how that thing fly. Stupid me LOL

7. Me
Of course myself. I am a wonder :p

When a Sarawakian try to speaks KL slang



"Colong lah!"
quote by someone familiar with me. LOL

Not a word from Sarawakian .. just a sweet revenge hahahaha. K juz kidding'. IBoh terasa aok.
Anyway to all sarawakian... i dare to bet that u ever make mistake (1 is enough) when you try speak KL slang. Especially if adding the "E" vocal in the end of the letter. For example "saya=saye. kita=kite, etc". OK its fine but what if.... because of that mistake you have been laughed. Sometimes be in dilemma either to use the "baku" language or the "KL slang". Even we use the correct "baku" language (grammatical correct) we also been laughed.

Well this thing happened many times to me, and now I'm heavily aware with what word will come out from my mouth. Funny right? Anyways, thats the life as a Sarawakian who live in a place like this.

And now, if i heard my friends speak wrongly, I mean "tersasul" (overshot<-- am I right?) I will laugh them to the death hahahahahahahahaahahahaha. Revenge... sweet revenge! [EVIL GRIN]

Football Season is BACK!


Akhirnya musim bola kembali!!!

Dengan kickoff nya Charity Shield antara ManUk ngan ChelSH!T mlm ni (Ahad, 9 Ogos) Maka dengan rasminya BPL dah start. Dah exited dah aku ni. Minggu lepas lagi dah register main fantasy premier league. Mana la tau nasib kan... kot kot hehe.

Mungkin lepas ni, takde la hujung minggu aku bosan sangat. Ada gak la aktiviti aku. Maklum la housemate semua kaki DOTA je. Takpat masuk la beb. Lagipun orang xde komitmen (single la tu haha... no women no cry) mcm aku ni rilek je.

Ok la mengarut plak aku. Sebenanya dekat premier league takde la team yg aku betul2 minat. AC MILAN tetap dihati.. chewah! Forza Rossoneri. Tapi nak tgk liga Itali or Spain... bapak la kul 2/3 pagi. Perghh tak kuasa aku. Tapi sebagai seorg peminat fanatik bola tengok jelah BPL. Primetime la kan. Syok juga la. Kita tunggu sapa yang dapat qualified UCL nanti. Top 4 la konon. Kali tok bukan stakat team ManUk, ChelSh!t, liverFOOL atau ArSENGAL, team lain cam Citeh, Villa tak lagi dipandang ringan. Spurs pun kuat juga. Wait & C.

Untuk season ni, secara drastiknya aku memilih pasukan Totenham Hotspur untuk disokong.



Kenapa Spurs?
Nak cari kelainan sikit. Asyik2 ManYoo, Chelsh!t, team bangau (liverFOOL) & arSengal je. Season ni aku target Spurs dapat jadi top 6. Jadik la...

Man to watch; Luka Modric

Learn BIDAYUH

This is from my general or personal knowledge. To know more about Bidayuh try to google it la.. :p

Bidayuh (Bi-Dayuh) or Land Dayaks is one of the minority ethnic in Sarawak. They are the second largest Dayak ethnic group in Sarawak after the Iban (Sea Dayaks). The name Bidayuh it self mean "the people of land". "Bi" mean "people" or "orang" and "Dayuh" mean "Land". Despite grouped into one race, they use different language and dialect. the Bidayuh language can be divide into 3 major language that is Bukar-Sadong, Singai-Jagoi and Biatah. From this 3 major language it can be divided into many more complicated dialects. That is why although they the share the same races, its hard to understand each other. Normally to communicate with each other from different ethnic groups, the Bidayuhians use "Bahsa sarawak" (Melayu Sarawak) Malays or English.


Bidayuh traditional house "Baruk"

Below is some basic "bidayuh Sadong" word (Lobang Batu, Serian) translated into Malay & English. Mind about the spelling. I'm not sure either but the pronounsation is correct hehe...

keep in mind that if malay pronounce "A" aaa, but mostly for Bidayuh A become "eer". But not all la. Quite complicated actually but like I said, this only a basic to give you a picture about bidayuh language.(To be specific Bidayuh Sadong language). Forget about the pronounciation, to be precise just find some bidayuhians (anywher la) and ask them speak infront of you LOL

Zoo Negara Voluntary Program.. The PHOTO

Seems like most of my friends already uploaded their photo to facebook or blog. Well i want too... but its no use coz everyone use the same photo. As long that i'm being "tag" its ok. So I try to make something different here. A little bit touch up and edit via photoshop, illustrator & photo impact.

Well... not bad for an amatuer hehe
