Great things on my birthday!

I turn 23 on 23rd December 2012...

(1) FAKE COMPLIMENTS

Such compliments can make us happy,

regardless they really mean it or not...

Although they are NOT TRUE, seriously, they make my heart blossom

that I feel appreciated.

(2) SURPRISE GIFT

It was hung at my door house while I was sleeping.

The person left and sent me a text message.

I ran out in my pajama without brushing my teeth

but she was nowhere to be found.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for such a wonderful gift.

Hasinah and Fatin

I will build it, decorate it, display it and treasure it!!

(3) PARENTS' TEXT MESSAGES

Lovely Beijing #1: The Great Wall of China

During winter, it's extremely freezing on The Great Wall.

Lucky it wasn't snowing while I was there.

So climbing was easy and smooth while enjoying the majestic view around.

Couldn't climb any further....it was exhausting. The temperature was -12'C or worse.

The wind was even worse, strong and cold...

Every padlock left along The Great Wall is a symbol of eternal love....
mostly done by lovers.

....and with great memories....

I left The Great Wall which I dreamed to climb since I was a kid.

Zaijian!!

Wordless Wednesday: Birds at my House

Wordless Wednesday: Oyster

Fresh and refreshing...BUT not tasty!!! It was my first time eating this raw.

You need:

-- 4 crabs (don't forget to clean them ya!)
-- 1 tablespoons of minced garlic
-- 4 shallots (sliced) OR 1 red onion (sliced)
-- 4 stalks of lemongrass
-- 4 cups of water (or more)
-- salt (as much as you like..hehehe)

Put all the ingredients into a big pot. Use medium heat and wait until the water gets boiling before you add salt. Don't forget to taste and add more salt if needed. DONE!!!

Wordless Wednesday: Nasi Udang

Wordless Wednesday: Home-made Roti Impit

Process to make Roti Impit:

Finding Animal-like Baby Sweater

Where can I find these in Malaysia?

I've been to jusco Klang, The Store Shah Alam and many other places, BUT I found nothing like these!!

Wordless Wednesday: Family Outing Noodle

Poop is Cute

This is my new poop plush, 36cm tall. I named her "Poopy".

The world has changed. We view things differently. I myself found "poop" character as cute as the other cartoon characters. I wonder who invented such cartoon character, while the real "poop" in our world is definitely disgusting and immoral, indeed, to be talked about.

We have many poop characters in manga, comics and cartoon series. They are all adorable!

There are quite a few toilet decorated restaurants in China and Taiwan.

The theme suits the environment well. The place is so nice to dine in.

Regardless what the chairs are made of....haha. They are toilet bowls. But, yes, they are clean.

I hope to find this restaurant soon....

Look at these ice-creams! Really want to try some!

I think, Super Junior movie (2007) "Attack on The Pin-Up Boys" has made the poop cartoon famous and glorious more than its fact...hehe.

Bye now !!

Lovely Singapore #2: Sentosa Luge

Bagi para penggemar aktiviti lasak dan mencabar, semestinya Sentosa Luge menjadi pilihan. Luge yang separa go-kart dan toboggan, merupakan kenderaan bertayar tiga tanpa kuasa enjin yang dikawal pandu sambil menggelongsor menuruni bukit 650m menghadap Pantai Siloso.

"Thrill-seekers and adrenaline junkies will be sure to love Sentosa Luge. Part go-kart and part toboggan, the luge is non-motorised, three-wheel carrier you sit on and control while whizzing downhill on the 650m jungle trail track towards Siloso Beach" (Source: Your Singapore).

You can enjoy this at Sentosa Island, Singapore.

The fee is about $12.50 (about RM32.00).

(Pakej pelajar yang saya pegi ni x mahal pun...lebih kurang RM150.00 je sekepala. One-day trip. Bertolak dari UiTM Shah Alam ngn bas, terus ke Singapura. Pakej termasuk group passport bagi sesiapa yang xde passport sendiri. Murah kan?Kalo berminat, bleh tgk website ni: desREAL HOLIDAY)

This is my picture taken while I was driving a luge. It was thrilling and exciting!

We can drive as fast as we can't feel the air, or as slow as we want to enjoy the scenery....

Just pull the break (the handle bar), and control the speed as you wish.

As I reached the finish line....I felt like taking one more ride! Hahaha...

You can see the Siloso Beach from here.

Next, since you are now down at the beach...you'll be taken up again to the top of the hill.

This is called "Skyride".... To me, it was enjoyable being on the air. Feeling like flying...really!

The most exciting was....I had to take care of my shoes...(kalau jatuh, memang x leh amik dah).

This is the majestic view you can view from the skyride.

I hope to ride Skyline Luge again in a few years... =)

BYE now !!!

For my next post, I'll tell you about "Extreme Log Ride" (the indoor roller coaster)...

Hantaran for a friend's engagement

Thank GOD...finished all these after 4 hours... =)

Boots

Really need a pair...for free..hehe. Does anybody want to lend me please? Hehehe....

Marimo World #1: Marimo

19 /9/ 2012

I am falling in love!

Someone introduced me to Marimo this morning....

I wish I could have a Marimo by my side too....

Picture: Marimo Aqua Garden from Etsy

Marimo is a green-ball like aquatic plant, from Japan. It grows very slowly, approximately 0.5-1cm per year. Some say, it takes 2 years or more for a Marimo to become as big as 10 cent coin. Many believe that it brings luck, prosperity and love. However, I fancy Marimo because it shows patience and love of whoever owns it. Easy to take care of, Marimo becomes a 'plant-pet' or gift to someone special. It is sold based on its size. [RM15.00=size of 10 cent coin and RM60.00=bigger than size of 50 cent coin]

It is, indeed, one of the amazing GOD's creations which has benefits to the mankind. Marimo stabilizes the biology of an aquarium. The water will be always clean with Marimos in the aquarium, although there are fish inside. It reduces the growth of algae because marimo absorbs the same nutrients as algae does. So people believe that the marimo always wins.

I wish I could have it someday. More info, click here.

Happy Malaysia Day

I am proud to be a Malaysian

Bahasa Jiwa Bangsa

Before this, I always took Bahasa Melayu for granted. I never realized how complicated my national language is….until I had an interview this morning, UiTM scholarship to be an English lecturer. Of course, it was supposed to be conducted fully in English. However, the second session suddenly was conducted in Bahasa Melayu.

My Bahasa Melayu session was a disaster. I couldn’t answer well and spent a great time thinking too much on Bahasa Melayu (baku) words that I left years ago.

“POYO! NGADA-NGADA! X SEDAR DIRI! MELAYU XRETI CAKAP MELAYU TIPULAH…” I cursed myself.

Yes, we can speak KL (informal Bahasa Melayu) fluently….but NOT Bahasa Melayu baku (official Bahasa Melayu, the language that is used by pengacara TV- host). Believe me…

I am surprised to know that I CANNOT speak Bahasa Melayu fluently like pembaca berita Buletin Utama TV3 (TV broadcaster)….haha. They are awesome! Indeed! Now I respect them! Seriously!

I’m a fan of Tan Sri Ramlee’s movies. I remembered ‘Bahasa Jiwa Bangsa’ caption was mentioned in Seniman Bujang Lapok movie decades ago. Indeed, Bahasa is jiwa bangsa (A language is the soul of a nation)! Language shows who we are, it presents how much Malay we are….. A Malaysian, especially Malay, should be ashamed if he or she cannot speak official Bahasa Melayu fluently.

We have achieved independence for 55 years already, but we are still lack of nationality in our heart. Nationality is not ONLY represented by how we dress, how we speak or how we behave, BUT how much effort we put to sustain the name of a true MALAYSIAN.

Let’s sing “Saya Anak Malaysia” song…hehe. Bye.

1957 bulan 8 kita merdeka,
Setelah dijajah oleh orang Inggeris,
Kamikaze dan Portugis.

Saya Anak Merdeka x 4

Sedikit masa harus diluangkan,
Fikirkan sebentar apa yang dijuangkan,
Adakah merdeka sekadar laungan,
Merdeka semuanya keluar gaungan,
Merdeka lebih dari tiga jeritan,
Merdeka bebas dari kesempitan,
Pemikiran, otak, akal, minda,
Mungkin tiba masa definisinya dipinda.

Hujan emas di negeri orang,
Hujan batu di negeri kita,
Walaupun cantik negeri orang,
Tentunya Malaysia cantik lagi!

Dari Perlis ke Kota Kinabalu
Rakyat bersatu dan maju,
Bumi bertuah hasil melimpah,
Siapa rajin hidup mewah.

Saya Anak Merdeka x 4

Melayu, Cina, Iban, India,
Kadazan Portugis pun ada,
Semua kaya dengan budaya,
Di bawah kibaran satu bendera.

Saya Anak Merdeka x 2
Saya Anak Malaysia x 4

Amazing Potato Spring

I tried potato spring for the FIRST TIME....amazingly delicious. I didn't even know that it would taste this good. I saw it many times before at pasar tani Shah Alam, but...intentionally ignored it.

But today, I bought it at Bazaar Ramadhan for my adik. Cheese potato spring, 3 for RM5.00 only! Yummy!!! I will definitely buy this more in the future...huhu
