EARTHQUAKE !!!!!!! IN ADELAIDE !!!!

I went to the office that night with Feeza.We left office at about 11 pm and arrived home safely. Kak Zatul was already fast asleep. I was thinking of sambung do my work so I unpack my stuff and duduk la buat kerja. Send sms to Aunty Darling to wish her on her anniversary with uncle peTer earlier.

Timing cantik, i was actually facebooking when i heard a loud rumbling noise which i thought is the wind but the sound is more like guruh like that. Followed by a shake. The window was shaking loudly. The floor was shaking too. i was sitting on the chair, gripped the table with blank feeling at first. Lama skit baru felt takut !!!! when the shake ends, i called feeza and ask her if it's just me or did the earth just moved? Feeza, which was already on her bed said yeah she feel it too without any perasaaan lansung! Hishh Budak ni... Probably she didn't really feel it coz her room and unit are grounded, while me, my room is on the second storey of our Little Comelest Townhouse.

The fact that i was kinda Panic, Psych ! everything ! What if questions playing in my mind. What happened? When i wrote it at my FB status, I saw Yanti's status..then Lina and E  commented on my status..... It was an earthquake.... in Adelaide.... Gila scary... what if there's second round of it..Arghhhh !!!!!

I couldn't sleep, glued to the Mac, waiting for updates while dalam hati dok berdoa jgn la apa apa buruk berlaku. I even joined the "i survive an earthquake in Adelaide" grup on FB to get to know more. Later it was revealed that there's predictions on this earthquake and it was expected to be larger. A prediction by a siesmologist after an earthquake hit italy last year. Alhamdulillah, it was only 3.8 richter scale as revealed by Adelaide Now at about 3.30 am.

Then i prayed and sujud syukur and berdoa so that nothing bad or malapetaka will melanda Adelaide.. I just couldn't imagine if it was larger, and if me and feeza were in the office, the highest floor on the building of 3 storey and to of the hill. Yang duduk dalam bilik kat townhouse ni pun, at 3.8, the room shake like mad, imagine if it was larger... Fuhhhh.....MInta simpang malaikat 44.

Alhamdulillah, everything across SA was fine.

 Rahul is a cheater... he is a cheater... CHEATERRRR !!!!!! hehehe


PImpam Pengpot buat kes lagi. Kali ni, radiator dia punya cap bocor. Woahh... this whole 3 weeks, setiap week, ada ada saja surprise pimpam pengpot. Cuak memang cuak... Kereta / buah hati pengarang jantung Orang pulak tu.. Kita ni tukang jaga je.. Macam jaga anak orang dan anak kucing jugak lah procedure nya. Went to EDDY WRECKERS but the minute we arrived, dah tutup... hari ni smua half day... Kisahnnya... Kedai lagi satu pulak tak de stock. Tepuk dahi mcm ni...

Azy an iranian fren/kak zatul and suzie's former hsemate is crashing over at our place for a few days. she's looking for a house to start a life here in adelaide. So, yesterday nite, kak zatul made bihun yang sangat sedap. And I was having Roti Canai and ayam kuali for breakfast. So, i made my second attempt roti canai but this time using self raising flour. it turn out to be better and nicer(shape) than the other time. But i think there's room for improvement...hehehe.. Taste? i think i'll stick to plain flour je kot lepas nih... Makan pulak dgn ayam kuali.... PERGHHH.......  tapi as i was preparing both dish this morning, dah jadi kenyang...so tak makan bnyk pun.. sebiji rti canai kecik tu je...

My recovery is not so good this time.dah hari ke 4 pun muka still bengkak jugak lagi...insyallah, it will be fine kot in a few days...

A.happy
B.excited
C.Thrilled
D.None of the above.

( ni lah kesnya bnyak sangat buat questionnaire....)

Teeheee

The cut...

Ewah ewah... tajuknya dah macam hati terluka jiwa parah... hehehehe

Yes, first cut is the deepest.. Jadi tak yah lah teruskan first cut tu kan...coz makin lama makin dalam dan makin sakit...

Well, The cut i'm talkin about is hair cut.. in my whole life, this is the first time i cut my own hair. I dun think i ever had any history of cutting my own hair as i was growing up, kan mak kan... BUt i always hated when mak took me and kak long to the "perm parlour" as mak likes to call it. Nancy, a chinese lady in Malacca owns her own saloon. Nancy and mak became good frens becoz of mak's frequent visit and mak also brought all her frens in town. And because Nancy itself is a gud hairstylist, and also have a pool of talented and promising workers, orang pun keep coming back lah. I hated whenever mak took me for a haircut. Coz i will always end up looking like a boy !!!! eeeeiiiii tak sukaa... Nancy's daughter is my sister's age and her son is my age and we go to the same school and tuition. hahaha... kelakar pulak teringat cerita zaman dulu kala... but i guess bukan semuanya i hate about Nancy's salon... Nancy was the one who straighten my hair when i was in form one. Zaman tu belum ada hair iron or rebonding smua... Zaman tu straighten guna relaxer and this plastic sheets... more or less it looked like this...

But later the technology evolved and hey presto we have 

electronic hair iron/straightener

Anyways, i dun hold any history of cutting my own hair, not until this age. Well, atleast Adnin my dearest 'sudah pandai talk back" niece cuts her own hair at the age of 3 hehehe just because she dislike curly hair. Kak Long says, menurun dari Aunty Lurve dia.. hahaha... eleh.. mak dia pun sama je...

Last week, i was kinda having a nothing to do moment walaupun banyak kerja nak buat sebenarnya cuma mood kerja belum mari. I decided to cut my front hair. hahaha... seram je bunyinya... but i did.. Berangan la nak ada fringe mcm fauziah latiff dari zaman dulu lagi.. tapi nan adoo hehehe... Tapi kali ni nekad, nak jugak. Alah, kalau tak elok pun, bukan ada orang nampak pun kan XD hehehe

Berangan laa nak ada fringe macam ni... Orang yang cantik , buat mcm mana pun cantik, tak sikat rambut pun cantik..

But my fringe kinda make me look loike this fella ..... 

TEEEhehehehe.......

its okay, as long as i am satisfied and happy with it....who cares kan... later balik Malaysia sure kena gelak dgn Kak Watie and ABby kat Spalova hehehe..... but  by the time i balik malaysia nanti, fringe tu pun mesti dah panjang. judging from the day i cut it last week, till today, the hair dah grow about a 2 centimeters dah...Gila pantas.....

Anyway, i am happy with my fringe ;D

One of these days

One of these days
One of these very ordinary days
Your going to call my name
And I won't be there

After the days
After these very,very many days
Your going to see the light
And I won't be there

And on that day
Some how I'll find the strength to stay away
I won't give in
I will not let myself be taken in
Again oh no my friend

One of these days
Out of the blue you'll start remembering
And I won't care
Cause I won't be there

Oh and on that day
I swear I'll find the strength somehow to stay away
I won't give in
I will not let myself be taken in
Again oh no my friend

Thats what I say
Thats what I tell myself I won't give in
So try it someday and you'll see that I won't be there
No you know,you know I won't be there
One of these,one of these,one of these days
I won't be there

Woody's round-up !

Aunty Wan And Uncle Wahab Datang Adelaide!

Mak told me, Aunty Wan asked for my adelaide number coz she'll be here in Adelaide with Uncle Wahab to visit Yan. I didn't know it's Yan who's studying here, i tought it's Yan's youngest sister. I was frens with Yan's elder sister Nadia, who's now a doctor in Selayang Hospital. Nadia was my junior in school. Aunty Wan and Uncle Wahab is my mom and dads fren since they were young.

Went to meet Aunty Wan in the city on tuesday, then uncle wahab took us to Mekong Thai and we had lunch there. Seronok gak sesekali jumpa orang dari Malaysia hehehe... Aunty Wan gave me ikan kering! hehehe and loads of other stuff too like ikan bilis, maggi, biskut kacang and popia mini. Thanks Aunty Wan =)

Torch Ginger Flower

That's bunga kantan in english.... E told me that Kim wang in CM sells bunga kantan on Monday. Yipeee Yeayyy!!!!!!!!!! the one place that i didn't go to yet. So after meeting Aunty Wan in the city, i went to get the bunga Kantan to make my Assam Pedas.

Well, my assam pedas turns out to be EKSTRA EKSTRA EKSTRA pedas ! mind blowing, blazing hot, berpeluh peluh makan kinda thingy... Makan dgn Feeza kat Office, walaupun ber aircond, berpeluh tak hengat ni, terlalu pedas... i still have another portion of ikan pari and i will make them biasa je lepas ni... ( mana la nak tau, cili adelaide ni bukan pedas, tambah la cili padi skit, tetiba, haaa amik kau... Pedas yang KAU KAU punya....) feeza kata bibir dia dah mcm anita sarawak dah.. Bagus la tu Feeza, asam pedas tu pun resepi anita sarawaak yang bagi =)

pimpam pengpot's story

 

The night i went to the office with feeza lepas masak assam pedas, we stayed on in my Office to do my work and Feeza pun nak Study for quiz. we stayed on till about 1 a.m. Bila nak balik, kita pun pi la kat pimpam pengpot and start dia... I insert the key in and start the car.. OH MY GOD !!!!!!!!!! pimpam pengpot... what's wrong with you...? I started panick sikit je.. sikit je, masih cool lagi ni...  i was positive i turn the lights off before leaving the tadi... Check the lights, yup, ada lagi, everything was fine cuma tak leh start.  Haiiiihhh nak cari sapa plak pagi pagi buta nih... it was a cold windy night plak, and i was only wearin my black and white flanelette pyjama pants with black Cheetah sweater.. pakai sleeper plak...hehehe so me and feeza called the security. Before security datang, i pull down the handbreak and streered the car to a better position, guna la kederat wanita yang ada ni kan.. hehehe.... haiiihhhh......and they came in two patrol cars. helped to jump start the car. but, the battery was perfectly fine, it's Not the battery...

Di tengah malam sunyi tu, security kata better to call RAA. i hesitate to call kak zatul coz its already late. orang tgh tido kan.. but i did call her. Kesian giler... and i was so bersalah to wake her up... Like, aduhai.. and then dia ada mention, kita call RAA esok je la..So the security tolong steer the car elok elok( dah la i park kat disable parking ahaahaha). and he sent us home. His name is Robert.

The next morning, awal pagi, terus ke carpark 5 dgn kak zatul and called RAA. At about 8.30 adelaide time, i called Amirul.. Nasib la, kat Msia baru nak masuk kul 6 kot... Nak buat mcm na, i hav to ask amirul spare part yang baru ganti tu.. Amirul pun memang belum bangun lagi... Sorry ye mirul...pimpam pengpot u punya pasal kan..... hehe.... and i was so risau if its like major damage ke, nak kena tow pi workshop ka...bla bla bla

One hour later,  RAA pun sampai. dia pun hairan mcm na tak leh start. bila kita pulas kunci, i heard a sound kat belah kiri kereta, so i told the RAA guy, he said the same thing. Then me and kak zatul told him about the spare part yang baru ganti tu, which is the starter, so he checked... Rupanya wire kat starter tu longgar.. Aiseyhmen.... Lepas dia ketatkan, pimpam pegpot works just fine... alhamdulillah....

And Thank You Kak Zatul ! for the help..and sorry to wake u up in the middle of the night. teeehehe....

i couldn't sleep that night thinking of pimpam pengpot kat carpark 5.. so lepas settle hari rabu tu, i was a bit upset so bila dah stress and upset, my only thing to do is either berkemas or Masak... habis teerus buat hse duty coz inspection is the next day. habis buat duty, i was drop dead tired, dah semalam tak dapat tido.., apa lagi, Qadak tido... that evening, tak settle lagi, habis pi tolak almari dalam bilik pulak, rearrange everything....Stress punya pasal, bukan pasal pimpam pengpot je, pasal lain pun ya jugak...

What's left of me

I dun open up about love life here... probably coz i dun hav one...I am still holding on to my single status...dun let me get to the part where people say a lady doing PhD or hold a PhD susah nak dapat jodoh, keras kepala, yadda yadda yadda.....Jodoh tu ALLAH yang tentukan...bukan those 'people' Crushes...? ( No comment...Kalau ada pun, i will always remind myself...walaupun, beauty lies in the hand of the beholder, But still,....). Guy frens? most of my guy frens back home that are close to me are younger than me. And i am like their kakak... tempat mengadu domba hal awek la, itu la ini laa, hang out talk about work and stuff as they are also in the same line as i am.. hehehe... they are nice people though.. more like mutual frens where they dun mind paying your drink when u go out for a drink and stuff, tak pernah berkira benda benda kecik, give u advise vice versa. guy frens yang same age, mostly are married and ada gak yang sibuk dgn anak bini and dah lama tak jumpa. sesekali jumpa kat wedding kawan kawan.

Entah la, apa yang terjadi baru baru ini antara saya dan dia, biarlah berlalu dgn aman....what's over is over... what's past is past... I am glad it all ended although the relationship technically dun exist so, bukan la breakoff pun. Terasa ringan sikit, terasa lapang dada bila semua dah over. I am not blaming anyone coz this dun work...I can't handle it any longer...it's not that I can't handle the relationship but I can't handle the person itself. that particular person...ENOUGH! I love myself,and I wont let YOU hurt me whether u realize it or not anymore....Sudah lah, cukup lah... Move on please... i have let time heal myself and I dun hate you but.... Now, i dun have to tell the whole wide world about it huh?

Al-Fatihah

Din Beramboi telah pulang ke rahmatullah pada 12.35 pagi jumaat. I've been following his updates on Cari Forum and also Facebook. My prayers are always with him but ALLAH knows best. Seriously, i didn't think he'd make it through his Coma as his internal organs are already failed. Plus, a schoolfren of mine, Dr. Amin told me that his condition is very bad, 96% mortality. And i dah agak, he would go on hari jumaat. Itu my insticnt je.....Allah Maha mengetahui...

Meleleh jugak air mata baca news kat forum tu. Bukan Emo but terasa la jugak...lawak lawak dia dari zaman THR sampai lah ke ERA, drama sebabak ERA, Telemacth, Afi dan Abah kat astro, spontan lagi....  Dari pada ALLAH kita datang, kepadanya jugalah kita kembali... Basically, his comedic character has touched us all... tak kiralah tahap mana lawaknyaa...kita tetap akan tersenyum dan ketawa...

Al-Fatihah buat Din Beramboi....
