GongXiNi in Besut

"Ini tahun arrr...tahun itu Seladang?... itu Seladang arr itu Ox laaa..itu olang putih cakap... haiyaa itu pun talaa tau kaa??"

huhuhu...soo tahun ni tahun seladang.. i was born in 1986 and it is the year of the tiger as believed by the chinese.. i dont really know what really it means but i suppose the year of the tiger must be about braveness and courage or maybe anger ..huhuhu

Happy Chinese New Year!!

but this entry is not about me celebrating chinese new year, its just about how much i love going back to my father's hometown.. back in Besut, Terengganu. So basically this is why i love going back to kampung and at the same time sharing some of the nicest moment with u all..

1. Mesti balik singgah K.B pegi borong tudung and segala2 yang patut. and why this is soo important is just that we could get Very Good bargains with the latest designs here.( But seriously tak tahann ngan kekotaran certain pasar.. so we avoid eating at these pasar and we choose to eat at proper kedai makan like Hoover)

2. Boleh dapat makan roti goreng kat sebelah rumah maktok. Basically roti nie tade lerr best sgt .. but each time makan mesti nak lagi.. and not forgetting all other kuih muih kampung yang for sure takleh dpt kat kl niehh.. yerlaa mane nak dapat kuih jala emas,agar2 yg macam bentuk tembikai laa,akok, baulu sira, satar, otak2, keropok lekor original, tepung bungkus ori and banyak lg laa (plus harga pun leh tahan murah gak k).

3.Seronok sebab leh pegi pantai. I just dont know why.. but even though i've never actually dip into the sea(kecik2 dulu ofcourse laa pernah) sejak dah tua2 nie.. but each time i set my eyes on the wide blue ocean it really makes me happy.. but this time when we all had our kampung breakfast here infront of the South China Sea, sipping suam-suam teh-o with Besut style mihoon goreng there were rain drops..(Cikyah and her family was also with us) my skin could feel moist of the ocean breeze and the rain .. i love it..

4. The journey is always fun although it was very tiring..(its an 8 hour drive.. what do u expect?).. From K.L to Besut kitaorang amik jalan yg lalu Gua Musang then singgah Kota Bharu and stayed for a night at the Ridel Hotel (okla hotel nie.. among the best hotel i guest.. well bukannye banyak sgt pun hotel kat K.B tue.. tapi nasib tak baik dapat bilek bau carpet lembap laa plakk.. adeihh).. and on the way back to K.L we took the road which is along the beach and which mean jalan nie melalui sepanjang pantai Timur malaysia. hhuhuhuhu.. On the way balik tue syiookk gakk arr lehh makan ikan and sotong celup tepung yang fresh2... tengok rumah2 nelayan sepanjang perjalanan kat kampung2 nelayan kat tepi jalan tueh.. pendek kata sepanjang jalan tue asyik tengok pantai , pokok kelapa and bot2 nelayan.. whatever it is mmg best arr... owh yess lupe ! kitaorang singgah Masjid kristal gakkk..huhuhu

Bibikku Lari...

Boleh dikatakan hari ini hari paling bersejarah dalam hidupku... taktahulaa sejarah itam ke, kelabu ke, hijau ke or even maybe oren... selalu kalau dengar bibik lari nie dengar dari orang jerr.. tp kali ni reality berlaku kat family sendiri.. Hah Kau!.. baru nak terasa... ape ntah yang dirasa... tapi sebenarnye perasaan yang dirasa adalah..BIAR BETUL!~ BETUL KE DIA LARI?~... KE MAIN2 NIE?~.. surat ke pe nie?.. tak macam surat nak lari pun..... APAKAH??... haa camtuelaa serba sedikit perasaan aku.. but for sure all of these feelings were mixed up wif debaran hati yg berDEGUP-DEGUP.. DUP~ DAP~DUP~DAP~.. what the hell?!!

caner ekk leh sedar minah tue dah lesap.. bgn2 pagi ruang tamu kat atas tak berkemas lagi( selalunye pg2 dah kemas licin dah kat atas nie)... Baju dalam bakul baju busuk pun ade penuh lagik(selalunye mmg semua bakul2 dah bersih...dengan bakul2 sampah sekali)... so mestilaa IBU ku berasa tidak puas ati..lalu memanggil2 nama bibik ku...

" Bibik~ bibik~ angkat baju nie~ belum basuh lagi nie~"..
"Bibik~ Bibik~"...
"Adik pg check jap bibik tue..demam kot.."

(5 min after that- anith kata dia baca banyak2 kali surat minah tue.. sbb tue lambat sikit..n after reading it for several time punn tak pasti lg.. mcm nie ke org tulis surat lari?)

"Mak~ Mak~"
"Baca ni~"

kenapa dia lari ke ...ape ke ... its an untold story.. JIWA KACO INI ORANG.. suka cakp sorang~ gelak sorang~ orang ajak makan sama2 tamau... tp bagus gak ahhh... sebelum dia tinggalkan umah dia siapkan sume keje dia dulu... tp terlupa basuh baju...patut dia basuhkan dulu sume baju~ hahah...n dia tak amik ape2 barang...
tp leceh arr bibk tade...sian Dhaniah.. sian emak saya~ sian ayah saya~ sian adik saya~... banyak keje kene buat~

leceh tul~... geram pun ade gakk~ aishhhhhhhhhhhhhh

p.s= buat baik salah.. buat jahat salah... apelahhh yang manusia nie nakk...never satisfied of what we have.. that is human..

Dont You Just LOVE The Beach?~

iman: yea! yea! dah sampai!
tim: watch out beaches! here i came!! hahahahah

this is my first time.... and theres always a first time to everything.. and this time i never think it could happen...maybe my parents have to accept that im growing up no w... or dgn lebih tepat lagi i am already a grown up... finally i got to go on some SMALL (only 5 people), SHORT (only 1 day to be exact), VERY NEAR (its only in Bagan Lalang laaa) and still i am NOT the one who drove the car... ( sad and lame, owh yes and im a 23 years old girl).... i guess i never get that sort of believe from my parents, maybe till i get married... and when i get married i'll be cuff to another commitment.... but i really really hope that they will trust me... i dont know when... and i dont know wheather they will...



amy: aku yakin ade biawak besar kat tepi tuehh..bunyik dia dahsyat.. WOsshhh..
tim: alamak aku cuakk...cepat2 kita ketepi...

iman dengan gaya yg comel n kembang2 sebab leh buat stunt...

To hell with freedom or overprotected issue.. dapat peluang bercuti dan keluar bersama Gadis Sunti pun dah cukup baik... SO KITA ENJOY!!... we did lot of fun things together...cycling, mandi pantai,naik bola2 air (or whatever you call those giant pelampung yg iman, k.zuzu and imtinan naik tue-dia macam wheel yg hamster main tue tp terapung ata air.. ), naik kenu, main bola tampar... and of course makan2... kitaorang pg makan siput dkt tempat yg kononnye plg best kat bagan lalang tue... tp senanye taklaa kick sgt...biasa jerr... but we get to eat that long siput called Pepatah~ ke Pepahat ntah? huhuhuhuh

huhuhu...anyway it was fun..... the coconut trees~... the sunset~.. the sea breezes~.. and ofcoz the white sand~ but at bagan lalang it was not white at all...and sampah all over the place... but then again its THE BEACH... who dont love it?..

counting days...

as i walk down the memory lane of my life.. i realize that i miss a lot of things... the laughter and fun that i used to have during high school.. craziness and giggles of my girlfriends... maturity is taking over me... i dont want to be old.. i dont want to grow up.... i want to have fun.. but it seems that fun is leaving me.. or maybe its just a feeling.. owhh i hate mood swing!!

looking at life.. through my own window...

ade berapa hari jer lagi sisa2 kehidupan ku dirumah akan dihabiskan.... my feelings are all
jumbled up... happy to atleast have something to do... looking forward to meet friends n lecturers...
but at the same time berat hati meninggalkan rumah... owhh mann.... kesian dhaniah... she will be staying at home all alone... so i think its better for me to ulang alik till anith start cuti....

counting days .. and tell me what do you feel bout freedom..

Aidiladha&KualaLumpur

I'm proud born as Malaysian as well as Muslim... well both of this combination let me celebrate the most happening days in my life.... the Eid Mubarak for example is a celebration where we celebrate the victory of surviving a month of fasting in the month of ramadhan, Aidiladha on the other hand is about the sacrifices made by the Prophet Ibrahim (hence the word 'korban,' which means sacrifice in Arabic), who demonstrated immense faith when he was put to the test by God.Prophet Ibrahim was commanded to offer his son Ismail up for sacrifice, and though it grieved him greatly, he made ready to perform the task. However, as he was about to strike his son, God stopped him and revealed that it was a trial. Ismail's life was spared, and a ram was sacrificed in his place (the star).

Usually for my family , we celebrate aidiladha and aidilfitri at my kampung back in Terengganu, however this time we change the mood for an urban aidiladha celebration here in Kuala Lumpur. Not much different here, early morning my mother would be busy preparing Nasi Tomato before we went to Solat Raya Aidiladha. After Solat we would makan- makan the special nasi tomato, rendang, gulai ,trifle, pudding and after that we gather at the playground to bergotong -royong to slaughter the cows and kettles. This year we only had 8 lembu for korban unlike the years before when we usually have 10 to 12 lembu for korban. This hard work usually were done by the strong man of our village(the place where im living is a kampung also so maybe thats why i didnt really miss Terengganu). The meat were divided evenly so that everybody could get some and most of it were distributed to the poor. In the evening we rush our self to visits all my uncle and aunties in Kuala Lumpur and ofcourse after 3 stops and everybody serve their raya delicacies my diet was washed down the drain.

I think we will survive the coming days of raya in the urban as our traditions and warmth never fade..

im gonna show you guys how the ketupat daun palas were made... we have this for Raya Aidiladha, my mother learn how to make it from my maktok and i am learning from her now...



the traditional kelantanese style periuk kukus..



the glutonous rice was cook inside the periuk kukus, then immediately after it was cooked the coconut milk were addded into it, the hot steam of the glutonous rice will make the rice shines when the coconut milk and the rice were evenly stirred.



then it was wrapped using the daun palas into a triangular shape and was boiled till the water was dried out. then walllaaaa...ketupat pulut is served...

GentingHighlandsGetaway

since the last time i post was centuries ago.. thus i have decided to make 4 post for today..well.. we will see if my fingertip are strong enough for these marathons.. however 3 post wont do any harm... :p .. what have been the cause of this short silence is basically is just that my family (exclude my father because he was on outstation to Kuching) had made a sudden decision to cool off our hot body and soul at the Genting Highlands. Basically its a sudden decision , booking was done through phone at 11.30 and we left the house at 2pm..hahha..and that what i call sudden.. the best part of this so called getaway was no other than the award winning 4 hours long wait for checking in at the you know which hotel.... it is understandable as there are about 4 thousand rooms there, and surely a systematic check in system is a crucial thing.. but for me the experience was so weird, surprising, funny and it reminds me a lot of when you want to settle ur bills (early of the month )at the post office.
there were more than 500 people at the lobby, 30 counters for checking in, the running number that we received was 793 and the call no at the counter was 354... heeeeee.... hey we even had a picnic at the hotel lobby and so was everybody else... the hotels even ring bells to sell ice cream just like at the 'pasar malam'(night market)..hahhaha ...
and for these lovely experience i will not stay at this hotel anymore..( except when on budget constrain and on budget trips with frens..hahahha)

HappyDay!
