Merry XMas and Happy New Year Everyone !

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year dear Miserers and Blogwalkers... Have a great holiday and don't forget to keep save all the time! I couldn't wait for the year to end and have another great year plan ahead. Anyway, as the end of year come by, I noticed a few changes and how I spent the year of 2010/11 would never be the same as 2012.

Things that didn't stay the same anymore:

1.) My age:
as the year passed by, so does my age. In 2011, I was 19, in 2012 I am 20 years old, and next year [2013] I would be 21!

2.) My Hobbies:

Reading: In 2010, I found back my interest in reading romance novels and I could finish it within 3 days. However, around 2011-2012, my interest in reading had started to decline and I am on the verge of losing this interest once more.

Composing songs: I still create two or three song every now and then, just not that frequent anymore as I was around 2009-2011.

Drawing: A great improvement for this hobby.

Writing: A great development for this hobby. I found it's an interesting because it allows me to have my imaginations running free.

3.) My Passion:
Keep on changing according to my interest.

4.) My Love:
I always care and love my family. And I have started to care about friends who are close to me as well.

The point is, nothing else stays the same even yourself. It is best of we just enjoy the passing moments in our life and save the best memories as long as we live.

Sickeness Nightmare !

Awal-awal December ni aku dah di timpa sakit... huu nak buat camne.. (Badan terpaksa merelakan)

Selalunya kalau aku post mesti nak benda best je kan? Well I take it ALL back now... I think I must share this bad experience dengan you guys. Tak kira apa, I want to let it out ( it's worth hearing anyway). Beringat-ingatlah untuk menjaga kesihatan agar tak menjadi seperti aku... (-.-):

Asal aku cakap sakit aku kali ni bad experience? Tak pernah sakit ke aku sebelum ni? Well, pernah tu memangla tapi tak pernah berlaku sebelum aku amik test. Job Interview untuk Workplace Communication II (salah satu subject yang wajib aku ambil di Uni) lak tu.. Haa... ORAL SPEAKING, you guys... Somehow tak rasa nak ingat balik pun but dah sampai sini I write this entry... I probably should go on. Never do work half-heartily - unless it's something that I had less interest on.

As the story goes, aku jatuh sakit kira-kira hari khamis lepas - masa aku tengah duduk dekat rumah. By then tak teruk lagi. Baru sakit-sakit anak tekak gegitu je. Okay maybe tak faham... Tekak saya rasa tak sedap (much better). Then aku balik je terus ke klinik, tak gi check doctor pun, terus pakai mintak ubat je ( memang sukati aku jelah kan jadi Dr. sendiri?). Dalam dua hari duduk rumah tu, aku figure kalau makan ubat ke apa, boleh get better. Memang tak la. Dahla antibiotik pun lupa nak amik hari tu.

So, dengan rasa yang agak berat hati - aku balik je la ke UKM. Time tu dah start dah dia, symptom-symptom pertama aku: batuk-batuk. Teruk gak bunyinya. Start masuk Monday, dah tak sedap badan dah. Selsema memang macam hujan la. Lecturer memang jenis suka cakap, asyik suruh kita orang quiet and listen to him (memang tak la aku nak buat gitu kalau feeling dah rasa macam taik). Aku keluar je apa yang patut keluar, lantakla orang nak cakap apa. Yang penting aku rasa selesa. Ironicnya orang lain plak yang rasa tak selesa (-_-):

Okay, cerita second day.. Yah, the crucial part of my sickness. Malam tu aku tidur memang dah start rotate 90 degree dah, badan dah start panas (tanda2 demam, maklumlah kalau sakit camni kan ade sequence dia: infect kat tekak, then selsema, later batuk, last but not least, raging fever...). Bayangkanlah, dengan 3 sekawan tu serang immune system aku sekaligus, maunya tak azabnya rasa?
Dah tu dengan job interview aku yang satu preparation pun tak buat (cam hampeh)... menitik gak air mata aku malam tu.. Dugaan.. dugaan... Tapi dah time interview dia kasik slot esok and since I'm not a fan of procrastination, I decided to go.

Sepanjang perjalanan ke kuliah tu lutut aku memang dah start mengigil...  Dalam hati tak habis-habis mengharap je mende alah (job interview) ni cepat habis. Kelas lain yang ada hari tu (ada dua kuliah, satu tak ada attendance, satu lagi ada but only one hour class. Aku decide lepak lab je sambil kepala aku tersalai depan monitor (amboi... buruk sangat bunyiknya but that's what truly happened) computer. Sampai je time untuk interview, kena lah tunggu turn la pulak... dekat sejam lebih gak fighting dalam bilik berair-cond tuh... taknakla disturb org lain kan  dengan batuk-batuk aku tu time interview... So, aku tengok jelah: one by one... Malay... Chinese... Chinese.... Until giliran aku... Nasib baik soalan yang dia tanya aku pernah baca technique ntuk jawabnya so, tak la meraban sangat my answer to the question. Ada la dalam 5 soalan dia tanya, afterwards the interview is done for. Lega...lepak jap, aku ingat bleh tahan lagi but I'm afraid not terus keluar cari toilet (ada this cute Chinese boy bukakan pintu... schweet <--- ngada jap). Tak yah kot aku citer apa jadi kat toilet tu... (pepaham sendiri je la).

Anyway, lepas je habis kelas member advice aku pergi Pusat Kesihatan (PK). Siap hantarkan lagi... (Terima kasih bebanyak). Tak la jauh mana pun from kolej aku... 500 meter pun tak sampai... ah senang cerita next to KIY, PK tu. Ikutkan hari sebelum tu nak je aku pergi PK tapi musim-musim sakit berjangkit ni, ramai lak student dok buat check up. Last-last gi gak la untuk dapatkan cuti sakit... haha. Ubat yang aku dapat, ada lah dalam 4-5 jenis sampai nak tengok kat description pun takut (in case kena telan pil >1). Hehe, macam budak-budak pulak. Peliknya sebelum ni aku ok je makan ubat, but dah besar-besar ni... Entahlah...

Aku rasa aku telan Panadol before Antibiotic dulu kot (ikut arahan doc) and then aku terus tidur... Later on baru rasa ok sikit.. and the rest is history... I'm feeling better now... still recovering... cuma selesema and batuk yang haven't go away. Maybe it will take some time before I fully recovered. I hope I will be soon...

A Horrifying Talks: My Style

Do you have a weird fascination of anything? I mean the kind that always make you go for it no matter how much you try to avoid/deny? And when you done, you only carving for more... That isn't good, wasn't? As for me, I have my own fascination and for this post I'll be writing on that. So bear with me and please enjoy :3 hehe...

For the past 2 years, I discovered that I had an incurable fascination about horror stuff. Okay, maybe my fascination is not that weird but wait till you hear this. It barely even three weeks ago when my fascination turned a little bit 'wild' that I had to ransack the whole website around just to fix myself with enough dose of horror. As if watching compilation of short-stories of Japanese horror such as Dark Tales of Japan, J-Horror Anthology: both Underworld and Legends, Tales of Terror, Tales of Terror from Tokyo and others wasn't enough - (I had watched over 100 videos altogether and it still in counting)... and I'm still craving for more. Well I'm not a brave person nor trying to say that I'm not that easily scared but why I love horror so much is because of the lessons I had learned from it.

Why did I say so?

Well whenever I watch this kind of genre (Japan horror movies especially), they always included a hidden message, the moral of the story which you will need to think on your own. Some of you might get scared when you see a ghost jumping out from nowhere, or a strangely beautiful woman tails you wherever you go but for me, I consider a self-realization of the horror itself is the scariest thing of them all. By self-realization, I'm saying about the underlying meaning, the one that you couldn't see or hear but comes when you think about it. Realizing how scary and creepy the situation in that particular horror movie is surely will leave you with hundreds of questions lingering on. I know that everything is fictional, created by the writer and most unlikely to happen in a real world but getting a taste and glimpse of it; Well that is SCARY enough!

 I admit that I almost shit my pants a few times, and had a minor heart attack ONCE but so far my experience with these horror videos have been great! Sometimes, I even think it as a close friend; always there and ready whenever I need a good scare. Lol. Exactly what I needed to cheer up my dull and monotonous life. And of course, I have been watching all these videos online (Youtube), because I don't have a guts to download it all and keep it in my hard disc. It sure will unsettle my nights.

As my broadband grew slower, I had to find another alternative in still getting the taste of horror. My ideal solution is: Manga. Horror Manga. Yup, it's easier and cheaper to find. Like I did with the horror stories, there's a lots in the web provided with the scanlations. One of my recent fav is by Junji Itou (sorry, no picture on that Manga here- it might gonna scare you as it did to me, besides I don't want to have anything to do with copyright issues) and his work, Tomie. The comic book is under the name of Museum of Terror: Tomie. Apparently, there are 2 volumes for it, and each volume consist up to 20 chapters ( if I'm not mistaken). And ALL are as scary as hell. So, be careful when reading, you might need to catch your breath. Or getting any sleep afterwards.

Alright, I guess that's it then for my early Nov 2012 post. For horror fans out there, be sure to catch the names of videos and comic that I have mentioned. You won't regret it, I assure you... Last but not least, thank you so much for spending time in reading this entry and I really hope that you are greatly benefited by this. I surely hope I didn't waste any of your precious time... Thanks again and have a nice haunting, err I mean a nice day! Chow.

Manga & Anime Talk 1: Great Teacher Onizuka

This special post are dedicated to all Manga and Anime lovers =). It's about one of my favorite Manga/Anime of all time : Great Teacher Onizuka or GTO.

About GTO:

GTO is basically a story about a man named Eikichi Onizuka, age 22 who works as teacher. Because of his qualification from bottom-rung University, he hardly get a job on his profession. He struggled to find a place as a teacher and at the same time, to realize his ultimate goal that is; becoming the 'Greatest Teacher Ever'- which explains the title of this Manga. However, there are many obstacle needs to be face before he could become the greatest teacher and that takes us to a journey with Onizuka-sensei; him handling a pretty messed up students in his class (class of 3-4) and embarks on a mission of self-discovery by breaking through to each student one-by-one, and helping them to overcome their problems and learn to genuinely enjoy life.

Why do I love it?

Onizuka-sensei, of course! He's the coolest character in this manga. He smoke whenever he wants it (even in front of his students) and looks like a gangster more than a teacher. Not saying that it's cool to smoke or appear gangster but one got to have a lot's of guts to do so (Cool!).

Unlike other typical high school teacher, Onizuka-sensei hates traditional teaching methods; example, teach new topics, handling assignments to students, grading papers and sorts... and thinks it as waste of time. He didn't care how 'his' teaching method going to reflects on his image as a teacher and willing to do anything to help his students. I know he is a fictional teacher, and writing this might be praising him too much but isn't cool to have such teacher around your school? In that case, you don't have to worry about homework or assignments anymore.




What you should know about the characters?

Holy Forest Academy Staff

Aside Onizuka-sensei, there are others character that you should take note when reading or watching this Manga. Here's a few names that you should know and how they are related to Onizuka-sensei.

Azusa Fuyutsuki 
Azusa Fuyutsuki: She's the heroine in this series. She is an employee at the same private school as Onizuka. She likes Onizuka and they probably like each other but ashamed to admit it and rather claimed that they just friends. Suguru Teshiwara, another male teacher in that school have a crush on her and disapproves relationship / friendship with Onizuka.

Ryoko Sakurai: Director at Holy Forest Academy. She believes Onizuka and his methods can change the school and students in 3-4 class especially.

Hiroshi Uchiyamada: Vice-President at Holy Forest Academy. He's one of the teachers who shows his disapproval of Director Ryoko Sakurai hiring Onizuka as a teacher. The running gag in this Manga series is that Mr Uchiyamada beloved car, his Cresta gets damaged usually from Onizuka attempts to helps saving his students life and he getting injured or assaulted because of Onizuka.

Class 3-4 Students

Noboru Yoshikawa: He is the first student that Onizuka laid on upon his arrival in the school and who, he befriended. Yoshikawa and Onizuka shares the same interest in playing video games and a little (just a little on Yoshikawa behalf), on girls. Yoshikawa is a victim of bullying, often bullied by Anko Uehara and her group. He had a suicide attempts twice, which always end up with Onizuka saving him. He had appear to have a special relationship with Onizuka; more seen as a friend-friend than teacher-student and look up to Onizuka whenever he is in trouble.

Kanzaki Urumi
Kanzaki Urumi: One of Onizuka students and probably the most stubborn one in his class. She enjoys manipulating others and able to manipulate Onizuka (eventhough he is her homeroom teacher) ans use him as a 'slave' as a result of her games. She later enjoys her 'little game' with Onizuka and find him as a funny hobby to spend her time with and starts to come school regularly. Like most of the students in her class, she hated Onizuka at first but later become one of his biggest allies. She also known to develop a crush on him.



Kunio Murai: Another students in Onizuka class. He also have some trust issues with teachers and grown-up's, especially men. This is probably because since he is a baby, he is raised by his young mother. However, Onizuka manage to work on gaining his trust and he also known to support Onizuka when he gets into a trouble. He is cautious about Onizuka presence around his mother ( fearing she would fall in love with  Onizuka and he'll become his step-dad and takes his mother away from him).

Miyabi Aizawa: Her past experience makes her hates teacher so much and somehow couldn't trust them completely. This rage is even worse when she took it to every classroom teacher she have, and that includes Onizuka in the list. She'll do whatever it takes to reach her ultimate goal in destroying the teacher (career) by the help from her friends.

Tomoko "Toro-ko" Nomura: Another girl student in Onizuka class who is well defined by having a big breast ( F cup). She is possibly the slowest and clumsy students in the class which have people nicknamed her as Toro-ko (Toro means slow in Japanese). Like his other students, Onizuka protects Tomoko when she have a trouble and in need of his help.

There are so much more to tell about GTO's Universe but I'll end it in here first. If you're curious, you can always read the manga online, watch the anime or just goggled it for better understanding. I learnt a lot from this manga and it had taught me on how to be reasonable in handling matters and never give up on what you believe/dream on. I truly recommended it to you but just know that there's a little bit of violent and sexual images display in this manga. You have been warned! I'm not suggesting you to read inappropriate manga or anything but this one have a lot more than just that (violent/sexual) that you might find enjoyable. I hope you will enjoy reading it and till then, Jya-nee!

Ramadhan kali ini: 21 July 2012


Oklah, since post lepas dah cerita pasal trip ke Genting Highlands, kali ni nak pulaklah aku cerita mengenai bulan Ramadhan 2012 yang bakal menjelang tiba. Ikut Google ni ha, katanya 21 Julai 2012. Betul ke tak, kita kenala tunggu pengumuman kat TV.

Haha, ready ke belum nak sambut bulan Ramadhan ni?


CERITA PENGALAMAN BULAN RAMADHAN AKU


Bila cerita pasal bulan Ramadhan ni, memang banyak sungguh pengalamannya. Yelah, semenjak kecil lagi berpuasa, dengan cousin-cousin semua (kami memang rapat)... Memang tak boleh lupa. Curi-curi minum air paip tu rasa cam semua orang pun pernah buat kan, so takyah cerita part tu lah. Buat bosan aja. Cerita mesti sama aje. Hehe....

Alright , aku nak bukak citer pengalaman bulan puasa yang lain plak. Sapa pernah amik big exam time bulan Ramadhan? PMR atau SPM? Macam aku, aku pernah merasa puasa time exam sekali je: time PMR. SPM hujung tahun, so takdelah. Aku masih ingat lagi, time tu nak jawab paper terakhir (paper KH lau tak silap, aku budak Sains Pertanian (SP)). Perghh, puasa punya pasal punyalah mengantuknya hari tu. Dugaan, dugaan... Rasa nak bantai keluar awal je lepas habis jawab tu, tapi nampak macam berlagak bagus la pulak.... Jadi mau tak mau, aku tunggu sajalah sampai habis. Balik rumah je hari tu, straight-away terus bantai tido. Terbaek!

Bila cakap pasal puasa, takkanlah tak nak cakap pasal hidangan berbukanya pulak kan? Nampak sedikit tak logiknya kat situ. Favourite food di bulan Ramadhan korang amenda? Kalau aku, air masak pun dah cukup sebenarnya ( <-- janganla percaya nii). Betul, memang aku tipu. Haha. Okaylah, let's get serious for a moment (betul-betulkan baju)... List juadah wajib berbuka puasa aku:

Air: Sirap sejuk buatan mak aku.
Kuih-muih: Karipap handmade dia.
Lauk-pauk: Tak kisahlah, yang penting sayur mesti ada
                  (tengok, aku budak baik tau makan sayur).
Snek: Murtabak daging / ayam (bazaar ramadhan) & Pulut Panggang.

Nampak tak bertapa tak susahnya melayan kerenah aku berbuka puasa di situ? Hihi, tulah, senang jaga aku ni... (konon, padahal makan semua nak homemade je - kesian mak aku). Actually, aku ni jenis yang tak berapa gemar beli-membeli makanan kat bazaar ramadhan tu sebab khuatir dengan rasa dan kebersihannya. Masalahnya adalah bila ayah aku jenis kaki beli... karang kalau tak makan kecik hati la pulak. So, makan jelah slow-slow sampai perut tak boleh terima lagi dah. Nasib je ada adik aku; biasanya dialah yang tolong habiskan makanan tu dengan aku.
  
Selain makanan, antara pengalaman bulan puasa yang aku tak boleh nak lupa adalah aktiviti mengemas rumah. Biasanya aktiviti ini dilakukan seminggu sebelum raya tu. Time tu je, mulalah mak aku start nak membebel, "Mi, BASUH LONGKANG TUU...  Turunkan langsir. Basuh itu, basuh ini... Angkat tu, angkat tu...". Sakit telinga memang dah pasti, tapi pasal ini bulan puasa dan kalau menjawab mak sendiri sungguhlah biadap rupanya - aku diam dan turuti sajalah. Buat je dengan taat setianya apa yang mak aku suruh. Karang dia bising pulak kat ayah... lagi mampuss.. Hahaha...

Seperti yang kita tau, bulan puasa ni banyak sungguh kebaikannya, lagi-lagi kalau kita beribadah. Secara jujurnya aku cakap, aku bukanlah kaki masjid sangat - tak rajin sangat buat terawih semua. Tapi untuk Ramadhan 2012, mungkin aku akan buat perubahan. Yelah umur pun dah meningkat kan, kenalah banyak pikir camne nak tingkatkan amalan semua. Takkan nak enjoy je memanjang... :)

Oklah, so far itu jelah cerita bulan Ramadhan yang masih aku ingat. Aku harap sangat bulan Ramadhan 2012 ini dapat di raikan dengan sederhana dan gembiranya. Kalau boleh aku nak ingat every day, selama 30 hari tu aku berpuasa. Insyaallah... 

Mimi says: Salam Ramadhan dan selamat berpuasa semua!

Light Goddesses Ellie Goulding



As you all know, I am a big fan of American/English music and I often seek for new musician in the internet to please my carve. Recently, I found a pop/electronic English singer-songwriter named Ellie Goulding from my unsuspecting visit to US Billboard Top 100 page and I'm so glad that I did. She had only one album so far, which is a massive hit at UK and they just brought down her music down to US. Not bad for your first studio album, huh??. I'm kinda obsessed with most for her song from Light's/Bright Light's Album that I couldn't find a day passed without hearing them. Yup, that's happens with me when I found a great music. The album had come out on 2010, but since I'm only hearing them now, I considered it as new songs. Anyway, don't forget to check her out,and she did pretty well on her clip video's too; Lights and Starry Eyes. Don't forget to check her VEVO on Youtubes, peep's. Below are the list of the songs inside her Lights Album and look out for the bold ones - they are my favorites!... Cherrio now...

Ellie Goulding Lights 2010 Album Tracklist

1.) Guns and Horses
2.) Starry Eyes
3.) This Love (Will Be Your Downfall)
4.) Under the Sheets
5.) The Writer
6.) Everytime You Go
7.) Wish I Stayed
8.) Your Biggest Mistake
9.) I'll Hold My Breath
10.) Salt Skin 
11.) Lights

May 2012 KLCC revisited

Rasanya baru minggu lepas aku update blog, well kali ni update lagi pasal ada benda nak cter. Haha. Hope korang tak kisah pasal sapa admin?? (berlagak pulak aku tetiba... XD). 

Saturday lepas, 26/5/12 aku, roomate aku dan Kak Lin pergi menapak ke KLCC. Hisy, dah lama sungguh aku tak mai sini (last sekali masa darjah 6 aku ingat...). Jadi bila dah di ajak untuk tag along tu, agak susah sikitlah nak menolaknya kan? Plan asal kami adalah ke Mines, tapi yang itu boleh tunggu.. (hehe).

Dan macam biasa, kalau aku rasa macam dah nak start pergi tempat yang jauh-jauh sikit dari UKM, ayat pertama yang terpacul daripada mulut aku; "Jauh ke??". Roommate aku dengan K.Lin ni dua-dua orang Utara (Perak), biasalah sangat guna kemudahan KTM tu, so dia orang pun jawab - taklah jauh, Mi... Tukar stesen sekali je dekat KL Sentral tu ha... Dah sampai KLCC. Orang Selatan cam aku yang biasa naik kereta je ni, anguk-anguk jelah. Al-maklumlah, orang tak tahu jalan (takkan nak buat-buat macam tahu pulak kan?)... Sedih (-_-);   

Auto mesin membeli tiket di KL Sentral.
Ku sangkakan tiketnya macam yang beli kat
kaunter KTM tu... Sekali bila dah dapat dalam
bentuk token pulak.  Hmm, menarik...
First time menaiki rapidKL, terasalah noobnya.
Budak Melaka jumpa KL nyer facilities - camnilah
jadi... Maaf ye kalau semacam over.
Aku memang begini... Hehe
KLCC tower... takkanlah belakang
rumah aku pulak kan?
Once aku jejak je kaki jat KLCC, aku dapati tak banyak pun perubahan dekat sini. Sama jelah dengan last time aku pergi kecuali ada beberapa kedai yang jual barangan branded. Hmm.. mission utama aku menjejak KLCC ni adalah untuk ke Kinokuniya. The last time aku pergi (school trip), aku tak sempat nak menjejak situ lagi. Hmm... bila dah dapat tuh - hah, apalagi... Cari title buku yang susah nak dapatlah kan... This time aku sempatlah 2 buah romance novel daripada author favorite aku; Miss Jude Deveraux. Happy tak terkira aku tatkala membayar dua buah yang bertajuk; "Someone to Love" and "River  Lady" tu. Sesiapa yang tak tahu fascination aku terhadap buku-buku Miss Jude, bolehlah rujuk post-post lama aku kat bawah ni;


Dalam banyak-banyak gambar yang aku tangkap
masa visit KLCC, yang ni aku paling suka sekali...
From top, korang boleh lah nampak kedai Kinokuniya,
diikuti dengan TGV, pastu kedai apa ntah.... dan apakah...
Hehe... tak taulah kedai apa paling last sekali tu..
Layan...
Terasalah sedikit gayatnya masa dekat dalam Kinokuniya tu. Bukan gayat tak pernah masuk kedai buku ye, gayat dekat buku-bukunya yang melambak tu jer. Mana taknya, dekat Melaka (my beloved hometown) agak payah sedikit nak cari buku-buku Jude Deveraux ni. Yang ada semuanya author yang aku tak kenal dan bila baca, feel dia different from what I experience with Miss Jude novels. Tak best! 
Aku taklah asyik minat baca English romance
novel je memanjang. Minat history jugak, lagi-lagi
yang berkaitan dengan Russian Tsar Royal Family
yang kena assassinate in early 1900's. Buku yang aku
pegang ni adalah isteri beliau, Tsarina Alexandria.
Tapi aku tak belilah sebab mahal sangat... RM50++
Call me cerewet or anything tapi aku bila bab music, movies, videos and novel memang particular sikit. Study-moody, belakang kira...(marah parents aku bila dengar ni). I always want to see/read the best from the best. Selection aku for movies are mostly from indie's in which I enjoyed so much. Music plak aku prefer Pop/RnB/Country/Jazz/Folk only. Huhu, eh...eh...(elak), apahal tetiba cerita pasal benda lain pulak nih? Lari topic la plak... Rewind balik... rewind balik.. asnskjjsdgadsjhgfag... 

Lepas melawat Kinokuniya, terasa la pulak laparnya kami - so masing-masing pun start look around; mencari food court berhampiran. Roommate aku dan K.Lin terasa nak makan makanan bernasi, so diaorang pun pergilah cari. Aku yang tak tahu nak makan apa ni pulak (kes dah jemu dengan nasi pun) ronda-ronda jelah sekitar food court tu, sampai aku jumpa set makanan kat seperti kat bawah ni;

Oh yeah. Nachos da chachos!
Haha, tipu je... Ni bukan nachos, tapi taco's!
Air yang aku minum tu Pina Colada namanya, but jangan
risau - no alcohol okay?

Selalu dengar Taco's Bell yang famous disebut-sebut kat U.S tu; teringin pulak aku merasa kesedapan taco's bagi menconfimkannya sendiri. Nasib jelah ada buatan Malaysia ni ha. Dekat food court tu buka saja ada menjual Mexican food macam ni, but international food yang lain pun macam from Japan, Korea, Thailand... etc... Aku tak kisah tu semua, yang penting halal. Yelah, sebagai orang Islam wajiblah mencari makanan yang halal, ye tak? Barulah mendapat keredhaan dan keberkatan gitu...

Makanan kami bertiga :)
Lepas makan, kami pun jalan-jalan untuk windows shopping dengan harapan, bolehlah menghilangkan senak perut lepas makan tadi (hehe).... Ada pelbagai kedai kat dalam KLCC ni, but tak sempatlah nak menyinggah semua kan pasal kami bertiga mengejar masa. Ni yang big masa kami visit KLCC aritu....


Summer in Clinique. Tak silap aku Clinique ni
company yang buat penjagaan muka dan kulit tu.
Nak beli, memang kena tunggu dulu
pasal tak mampu den. Mahal. 
Sebenarnya, the reason  kami mengejar masa adalah sebab nak tunggu time masuk wayang... Yelah tiketnya pun dah dibeli sebelum makan tadi... Kami decides tengok cerita MIB3 pasal nampak poster macam awesome... Oh yeah! 

3 seat for us.... TGV cinema and popcorn.
Here we come...
Selepas wayang habis dan since kami dah ada dekat area KLCC, we take a stroll at the park. Hirup udara segar kat luar sikit after 2-3 hours duduk dalam air-conditioning place. Menyesal pulak bila nampak pencemaran (udara aku boleh faham lagi, tapi bunyi tu yang tak boleh belah ) since ada concert yang dibuat kat situ. Anyway, despite of the sounds - sempat jugak aku capture a few pictures...

In the park. Yes, gambar ni aku guna
filter secara heavily. Bukan
insecure dengan rupa sendiri, more
likely for setting the mood.
Can you guys feel it?
Apa pulak anak dara duduk
mencangkung tengah-tengah jalan ni?
Tak sopan sungguh...
(Ayat mak aku... hehe)
Oklah guys, that's a little bit of my life now. Visit aku ke KLCC tu boleh di katakan fun dan walaupun aku dah visit KLCC tak lebih dari 3 kali sepanjang hidup aku, it leaves a different memories everytime. Haha, sebelum aku terlupa... in 2 weeks time, aku akan hadapi final sem 2 and afterwards..... CUTI!! 2 bulan pulak tu..... Perghh, rasa cam nak menapak Singapore pulak bila dah cuti banyak camni buat that can wait because Genting Highlands... Here I come!...

Dinner KIY 2012

Oh yeah, pejam celik, pejam celik - dah nak dekat setahun dah aku study dekat UKM ni. Sepanjang pembelajaran aku, dah banyak dah memory yang tercipta dekat sini walaupun everyday aku pretty much the same (what do you expect, belajar lagi kan??).Except for each year they had this event called Dinner, hold by college which carries different theme everytime (Hooray!). And this year KIY theme is: Red Carpet. Huhu, aku participate jugaklah dalam majlis ni because aku AJK/Urusetia Protokol (protokal la sangat aku ni... haha).

Sepanjang participating program ni, banyak jugaklah pengalaman yang telah aku timba sepanjang aku membantu (dari angkat & susun meja/kerusi, buat invitation card VIP, tiup belon... etc) yang aku rasakan berguna in case aku nak join big event camni lagi next time.

Apa-apa pun aku tak mo comment lelebih pasal event ( tak kan AJK nak comment pasal program yang dia join kot? Ngarut giler... and takut marks LC kureng (gurau jerr) ) so I 'll just leave it to that~ Just nk share beberapa keping pic of me and my friends sepanjang dinner tu berlangsung.

Sebelum pergi dinner, mesti mau selfie dulu.
Haha, first time pakai mascara - bulu mata aku
nampak lain sikit. Baju untuk dinner ni aku pilih
sendiri and tudung tu... well - entahlah. Pakai belasah je.
Amyera and aku. Cam pelik pulak tulis nama dia
panjang-panjang. Biasa panggil Amy je.
Ambil gambar belakang backdrop. Backdrop ni
budak-budak KIY design sendiri tau. In fact, hampir
kesemuanya (termasuklah cari fund), kami usahakan
sendiri. Amacam, cun tak? Hehe...
Amy and her roommate, Bazilah (Azi).
Comel je dia orang dua orang ni....
Amy and me. Kami selalu gak hangout
despite bilik lain - lain since sekelas.

Meet Carly Rae Jepsen


A quick gateway for me aside from my hectic study life is listening to a great music. Brother dear introduced me to this Canadian Singer, Carly Rae Jepsen - 'Call Me Maybe' from Youtube and even though I didn't think it's a great song at first, it's start getting catchier from time I heard it now I am definitely hooked!. Not to mention, Carly is soo cute and seems like a sweet girl plus she has this annoying/attractive pouty lips that couldn't drawn my attention away ( I'm a girl still can't help from start liking her...). I don't know why but from there, I started to look up for her songs from the internet. As far as I been Googling, she had 2 albums which is 'Tugs Of War (2008)' and 'Curiosity (2011)' under her wings and was a former Canadian Idol starlet. Her voice as I can describe it, sounded almost like a sweet innocent child seeking for love and most of her songs are pretty transparent and easy to understand. My suggestion is try to hear out her songs, who knows she might be the one singer you been looking for!!...

The Accidental Liking of Sherlock Holmes: My Story

 
Back in 2005 when I was young and naive; the only way that I could think of spending the money I received due to my well-achievement in exam (UPSR 2004) was by having a little fun with myself. And by fun I mean, manga. Yes, back the manga was my entire life, and I couldn't think of any better than spending my dime on them. It was then, that I had been introduced to Detective Conan manga, original artwork by Mr. Gosho Aoyama - one of the most famous detective comics in Japan (and World perhaps?) .

For a kid with lack of imagination: I had been so obsessed by the idea on how 'cool' Shinichi Kudo  really is. When he's able to solve the mystery that surrounding some peculiar occurrences and deaths for some people in a body of a kid ( after he was forced to eat a pill APTX ????), I was already cheering for him. Renaming himself as Conan Edogawa -  which is cleverly derived from Shinichi's favorite author of crime book, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - Sherlock Holmes by the way: my fondness towards the series are only getting deep that till to this day, I still use my old e-mails: shinichikudo_mimi@yahoo.com (created in 2006 - present).

Conan or Shinichi, knows how to make a great observation and his determination to solve most of the case he encounter really sparks my spirits up whenever I touch the manga. But of course, that was only then my love of manga but it's the prime key that ignites them all... My liking of Mr Sherlock Holmes...

That's why when the movie for Sherlock Holmes from 21st Century come out on 2009, I was definitely looking forward to it. Splendid job for the director for recruiting Mr Robert Downey Jr and Mr Jude Law in the movie; together, they make a perfect Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson. And that just add more points to my fondness for both; books and films.

As far as I knew, the 2nd Sherlock Holmes movies: The Game of The Shadows had been released on 2011 and it hold a quite high ratings @ IMDB - 7.1/10 (as this post is written). Even though I missed it's premier, it doesn't matter to me as long as I get to see the movie in a high quality (HD) - All thanks to my baby brother... He's one of the greatest and reliable source for internet that I know. Thanks you bro.... a LOT.

Now, I would put an end to my story here because as far as I know for a personal blog like this; the more you write, the more you drag. Keeping it simple, true and ALL about ME and my fascination with the subject, I bid a farewell now. May you all would seek a liking as I did with Sherlock Holmes once you had finish reading this post. Good night then, everyone!!...

P/s: On my way to finish 5 volumes of Sherlock Holmes novels, pray that I'll find out more about the true nature of the book and learn most from them ;)

I been waiting for it's release since I heard the single "Happy Pills" coming out around March (I think). It had this catchy upbeat tune 'I want you out of my head' and took my interest right away.

Miss Jones stated that the album cover are inspired from 1965 MudHoney movie, in which she taken in to liking when she recorded her new album. Nice one!.

A Day trip to ASWARA

Dah lama rasanya aku tak post pasal aktiviti-aktiviti yang aku buat di UKM ni... Selama yang aku tak post tu, bukanlah bermakna yang aku duduk lengang-kangkung je pasal langsung takde aktiviti - cuma aku ni yang agak pemalas sikit when it comes to buat review macam post-post aku yang sebelum ni.

Baiklah, entry post kali ni aku nak cerita sikit pasal trip aku semalam ke ASWARA. Aku harap kalau korang ni orang Malaysia, sedia maklum jelah ASWARA tu apa ye, pasal aku malas nak review pulak (tengok, malas lagi...) pasal ASWARA dari A-Z. But then, tak adil lah pulak bagi readers blog ni yang bukan berasal dari sini; so aku bagitau jelah ASWARA tu stand for what - Akademi Seni Budaya & Warisan. More info, boleh check website dia di sini...

Anyway, pagi keberangkatan kita orang di sambut dengan hujan renyai-renyai, in which kalau korang tak percaya - gambar kat sebelah ni. Cantik gak view hujan pagi di UKM, nak-nak kalau korang warga Highlanders macam aku. Atas bukit dengan kabus bercampur hujan... seriously, teramatlah cantiknya. Aku jarang nampak pagi di UKM pasal kelas aku selalunya time tengahari (alasan ni... boleh je nak tengok kalau aku ni jenis yang senang bangun pagi).

Baiklah, untuk program kali ni; aku handle post as Pengarah Publisiti. But bukan buat publisiti yang jenis amik-amik gambar tu (yang ni memang aku try elak pasal gambar aku secara harfiahnya takkan ada), aku just tolong buat poster dan flyers je pastu edarkan supaya orang tahu mengenai program ni. Oklah tu, kerja gak kan? :")
     
Sebenarnya, sebelum ni aku ada join satu lagi program, cuma belum pernah mention aje. Dah alang-alang citer pasal program tu, combo sekali lah ya? Program lepas yang aku join, Pengenalan Asas Keusahawanan (juga position yang sama, as Pengarah Publisiti) agak mencabar sikit pasal aku dapat buat banners - dan hasilnya 4 bulan banners tu tergantung je kat billboard KIY (takde orang rajin nak turunkan). Hehe sampai naik segan aku. :3. Akhirnya baru-baru ni diorang turunkan gak pasal nak gantung banners Temasya Highlanders 2012 kat situ :)

Secara keseluruhannya program Lawatan ke Aswara ni amat rileks and sempoii je. Takde lah nak rasa tension ke apa semua; tengok kampus ASWARA, tengok studentnya buat latihan menari...etc...etc... not much to comment there pasal aku agak buta seni sikit (bab menari jelah). Ada la ternampak kelibat artis-artis local satu dua (tapi takde gambarlah pasal aku penyegan orangnya). Hehe..

Malamnya, kami di ajak untuk menonton teater yang di persembahkan oleh budak-budak ASWARA; ENDENG TAJELI namanya. Aku lihat student ASWARA ni agak supportive kat rakan-rakan mereka yang buat persembahan malam tu (bagus diorang ni). Keep support and cheering all the way. Mengenai teater ni sendiri , I swear this is my first time tengok persembahan kebudayaan (ntah betul ntah tak je ni - aku pakai belasah je ni tau, sori) secara live. Aliran ceritanya memang mudah untuk di fahami cuma bahasa yang di gunakan (bahasa kelantan lama kot?) je yang aku tak berapa nak faham. Maafla ya, tak ada pulak video 3GP nak di attachedkan dekat sini mengenai teater tu (handphone memory tak banyak, 1 GB je). Aku rasa antara tindakan bijak yang dia orang lakukan ialah dengan meletakkan element 'lawak' kat dlm persembahan diorang. So, walaupun tak faham pun - taklah dull sangat jadinya atau completely membosankan.

Time paling best aku rasakan semasa program ni berlangsung adalah sewaktu kami bertolak balik ke UKM. Time tu, jam kira-kira pukul 11.00 malam. Memang terbaik la Uncle driver bus tu bawak bus double-decker untuk pick up kami. Thanks uncle! Aku awal-awal lagi dah siap-siap, ready nak kat tingkat atas bas tu - just untuk dapatkan seat paling depan sekali. Untuk apa?

Yaah, untuk view macam ni laa....



To think yang kalau naik kat bas biasa, korang takkan dapat tangkap gambar camni pasal akn terambil gambar kepala orang (driver bas tu) and steering bas. Gerenti spoil gambar, isn't?? Besides, bukannya orang tahu pun apa korang buat kat depan tu... Buat la apa pun.. Takde dikisahnya. Oleh disebabkan takdenya orang nak kisah, aku pun choose untuk berkaraoke all the way sambil enjoy this beautiful night view. Haha, classic tak classic?

P/s: Sempat je kitaorang singgah KFC on the way balik tu...

Baiklah sampai sini je coretan pengalaman aku yang tak seberapa ni menjoin program... Dah berape sesi dah ni ha... program je memanjang cik Mimi. Cubalah cerita benda lain sikit. Shopping ke, travel ke... (ehem, ehem) boyfriend ke... Haha... Yang tu tak dapat den nak menolong pasal single the mingle lagi. Anyways, akan datang kalau ada lagi program (dan aku terlebih rajin) akan aku postkan kat blog aku ni untuk santapan mata korang. Sekian, Wasalam.

Sincerely: Mimi Said.

Memoirs of the 20th birthday: The way I celebrate it...

Wow, I didn't realized that I turned 20 today... how times flies... Thank U GOD for making me alive for twenty years now. I'm so grateful for everyday you given me... 

If you ask me how does it make me feels?:  I would say not much, it feels pretty much the same. Only the company is better :).

My mom was around for the whole day (she take a leave) - becoming the first person to wish me on my 20th birthday. I feel so blessed just by hearing her said that. Thanks MOM!. My dear old friend Adib, call me right before 9 a.m in the morning and wished me. I'm glad that she remembered it too. We had a brief conversation and I was back with the telly; having my morning breaks and so.

I resumed my twentieth birthday in my normal manners. Watching telly, eating breakfast etc..etc... Really, I just want to treat it as any other day. But I did had to log in to my Facebook account to check if there's any birthday wishes on my notification box & timeline (don't want it to get stuck or anything): And there is !!!


* my current roommate did send me her wishes (via phone); she probably had some connection problems back @ her hometown. But thanks for remembering anyhow.

The time that we actually celebrate my birthday is during night.

I'm sorry if there ain't many pictures to show because we only celebrate it among our family members. Sort of private celebration, if you know what I mean. And my parents aren't so much fans of photographing either =.=! -another reason for no celebration mementos. And as for the birthday cake that I mention on my post earlier, well I did had a few slices (that I shared with my bro) cause here's a fact - I actually hate cake, particularly when it comes in a big sizes . I guess I make a right decision back then. Nah-uh...no more cakes on my birthday! One slices are enough for me.

There's one thing that I my lil' bro asked me tonight which is quite interesting:
So, what do you think about your birthday this year?
Me: Better than last year...

It feels so wrong if I didn't upload any of picture from my birthday nights -
this is later added on 21/04/12.  
My cakes selections from Secret recipes are:
Chocolate Indulgence, Choc Mud Cake, Pecan Butterscotch &  New York Cheesecake

And that's how I celebrated my 20th birthday. And like that, a memoirs had been written.

Mengaku Jozanerz la pula...

Sehati berlawak - Jozan
Ok, aku tak nak cerita panjang lebar dah...Sesapa je yang tengok Raja Lawak (RJ) jer, gerenti akan serta-merta kenal dua-dua muka kat atas ni... Johan dan Zizan ataupun panggilan mesra dia orang: JOZAN. Cerita yang aku nak sampaikan untuk post kali ada kaitannya dengan mereka berdua ni. 

Dua tiga hari lepas, semasa aku tengah bosan kat dalam bilik.... Otak tengah stress after tengok 15 episode Goosebump from Japan kat Youtube (bukan sebab belajar ke apa)... Cadangnya nak release stress, aku pun pergi lah taip nama 'JOZAN' kat Youtube tu haa...Dengan harapan, lepaslah segala stress dan tension aku tadi. Plan asalnya nak tengok satu dua video je, sekali hambik kau - melekat sampai berjam-jam mata aku kat laptop screen ni: dok tengok lawak dia orang kat Maharaja Lawak dari minggu 1 sampailah akhir. Habis satu Youtube aku redah untuk cari link video JOZAN nih. Seriously, lawak diorang ( x semua lah, kadang2 tu ade yang bosan gak...) memang gegila punya LAWAK... Originally, aku ni tak berapa nak minat sangat la dengan diorang ni (peminat NABIL), tapi bile tengok je dua orang ni start perform kat pentas tu: link maharaja lawak Nabil yang ada kat bawah tu pun aku buat tak kisah dah.. Buat-buat tak nampak je...(ngahaha). Sampai cmtu sekali penangan mereka ni.. Haha. Sorry Bang Bil, beralih arah sekejap support aku kat kau (nanti top up balik eh tengok skit Bang Bil kat Maharaja Lawak tu).

 Terasa lah sedikit menyesal sikit pasal tak dapat tengok dia orang punya persembahan time premier - apa boleh buat, rumahku tak ada ASTRO WARNA... Yang ade channel2 hampeh kelapo joo...But better late than never, right? And dapat tengok semua persembahan mereka di Youtube (credit ntuk uploder, korang mmg terbaek lar...) buatkan aku rasa gembira  & serta mertanya membunuh rasa tension aku tadi tuh. Aku dah pun like fanpage Zizan tadi kat FB (lepas ni Johan pulak kot?) sebagai tanda support aku kepada diorang dekat industri seni tanah air, Malaysia yg kucintai (macam pelik je ayat ni)... Bagi yang belum tengok lagi Maharaja Lawak macam aku dua tiga hari lepas, sila-silalah berbuat demikian ye di Youtube. Gerenti korang takkan menyesal punyerr....


Sebelum mengakhiri post aku kali ni, aku nak cakap sorrylah sesangat jikalau ayat-ayat dalam post aku kali ni sempoii perabis (influence from comment2 Jozanerz kat Youtube la nii...). Next post aku tukar balik. Haha. Selamat tinggal kawan kuu... (lagu Dina ft Zizan). Wasalam.

Sem 2 - I am back!

Sem 1 dh sudah, result pun dah kuar sekarang tiba plak masanya untuk Sem 2. Wargh, kejap tul mase berlari meninggalkan aku. Rasanya bru cam aritu je aku masuk UKM. (Ye ye jer ni)

Apa yg boleh aku katakan Sem 2 ni? Well, senang je. Banyak. Ape banyaknya? Makan? Taklah, subjectnya la dah pasti. Untuk Sem 2 aje ade 7 subject yang aku kena amik. Bukan senang tu wei, nak bawak 7 subjek. Nak2 manusia malas cam aku ni, kena la rajin2kan diri ni. Sem 1 banyak gle aku habiskan waktu lapang aku dengan kerja2 x berfaedah (e.i tgk movie, serious x berfaedah - bukan dapat apa2 pun). So, tekad Sem 2 ni nak lebihkan rajin tu - sikit. Haha, camne tu? Lebih Rajin Sikit? Mane stu ni, wei? Tak kisah yang penting aku ENJOY!

Kepada friends yg kenal diri aku ni dan adalah terbaca post ni khasnya yang amik degree, well aku harap korang pun bersedialah jugak untuk mengharungi Sem 2 ni macam aku. Sekian. Bye bye.

Love remainder: Mimi Said
