On board.

this is recently on board to join the book club.

i almost cried when i realized that i don't know she has came out with a new book. i am a crazy fan of her.

i saw the poster of the book in the bookshop at the klia that day. terus beli dan bawa ke kaunter tanpa melihat harga nya.

it costed me freakin RM95.90!!! the most expensive book i've ever bought.

but it worth the penny. hehe. i even finished reading it during the raya holiday. instead of the hectic-ness of eid celebration.

On the air.

when you read this, i am now flying high on the air to reach the hometown.

woot!

will be touching down KBR airport at 2330 today.

woot woot!

i'll be having a superb 8 days raya holiday.

woot woot woot!

jadi di kesempatan ini, saya sebagai pemilik belog Chambre de Thoughts mengucapkan:

Salam Lebaran. Maaf Zahir dan Batin.

belog ini juga akan berehat selama pemilik berada di kampung halaman. semoga lebaran kali ini membawa seribu keindahan dalam hidup semuanya.

muahcxx!

Tomorrow is the DAY!

esok sekolah cuti. confirm.

heh heh.

today will be the final day i will break fast at home here in twu and performing the terawih in twu. for this ramadhan 1430 / 2009.

apalah maksudnya tu?

grin.

btw, beg raya is now checked from the list. although it was never in the list pun. ha ha.
since yesterday.

big grin.

this was yesterday's outfit.

put this pictures here to show you the gorgeous top that i recently bought at Parkwell. it's from Nicole. very very cheap lah. i love the material and the ruffles on the chest. it also got the tali to ikat on top of it which is a bit disturbing for the girls with tudung. but i love it btw. 50% off and i bought 3 colours. this green bluish, dark blue and pale pink for the price of RM49.45 each. good bargain?

they are having Raya sale now. Go and get it girls! if you are in twu.

to conclude, my yesterday, today and tomorrow will be marked as very beautiful days.

how about yours darlingss?

Walking down the memory lane.

2007in the papers nowadays banyak kan salam perantauan. rasa gembira (read:bangga) sebab pernah jugak ada pengalaman ini.

hehe.

ini masa zaman memboyot in the middle of Melbourne City. i print-ed screen and crop and paste and this is the end result. frustrating. sebab tak clear. you can see the clearer version here.

i am now in twu. kira seberang laut jugak. tak bleh ke nak hantar salam perantauan jugak?

heh.

Ramadhan tahun ini.

hari ini, di saat ini rasa sangat letih.

after 6 periods of teaching i feel really exhausted. really really exhausted. i've never felt like this before. mungkin last week, tidak mengajar because the students were having examination. today the classes were only about discussion on the exam paper. basically i'm the one who did all the talking lah. what a NO NO right. and being so peculiarly rajin, i've successfully marked the students' paper last week.

wah. what a rajin girl kan.

since we started fasting, i've never break fast outside. ok. pathetic? yes. staying in twu, you don't feel excited to break fast. just sekadar makan untuk kenyang untuk puasa pulak the next day. you don't even feel excited to visit ramadhan bazar to buy food. because actualy they don't have any. i am being judgemental here. but that is the truth.

tanya hana.

kami pernah ke bazar dan pulang tangan kosong. hanya beli air kelapa sahaja. sahaja?

we cooked the rice at home, since we already have a brand new panasonic rice cooker. then, we went out to hunt for lauk. we don't cook because we still don't have freezer to keep the stuff.

i remembered when i was at home, or in ipba before, you will think or dream of what you want to have for the juadah berbuka and then excitedly and eagerly keluar mencarinya di bazar. which is basically di bazar ada segala mak nenek jenis makanan.

but here, we will go to the kedai or restaurant, and choose among the lauks that we feel like eating. memang tak ada peluang untuk bermimpi "rasa nk makan apa ye today..?"

sedih. tapi tetap bersyukur.

hilang sekejap penat ku. kepala pun dah kurang pusing.

petang ni, plan nk bukak puasa di luar. mahu jugak merasa bukak puasa di kedai kan. pilihannya? maybe Wakaf Thai.

off-topic. rasanya the not-so-brand-new PM is still in twu today.

haven't seen him yet tho. (haha. macam org penting)

sekarang masih lagi menghitung hari. owh. 18 september. cepat lah. dan lambat lah 26 september.

amin.

18 September.

Lambat nye masa berlalu.

kalau bukak laptop lagu wajib dengar mesti lagu-lagu raya.

syahdu. yes.

semalam dah start shopping raya untuk adik-adik berjumlah 6 orang plus anak saudara. nasib baik baru seorang. Muhammad Harith is going to be one on the 21th. dan juga untuk the only big sister who is smaller than me. benci.

odw ke bandar semalam, rasa nak hancurkan radio sebab tak pasang lagu raya. btw, hanya radio muzik dan Sabah.fm je boleh dengar pun. Trex fm pun. kira adalah radio omputeh kan.

semalam first time bukak Sabah fm. sangat teruja. (read:not). aku dan hanna ketawa terbahak-bahak when we realize that we were listening to Sabah fm. Bagus bah.. i think that is the tagline.

semalam jugak excited bila dengar radio berbahasa selain dari bahasa Melayu dan bahasa Inggeris. nasib baik ada mila bersama, mila cakap itu Bahasa Dusun. aku terus kuatkan radio dan Paksa mila explain what's the person is talking about. haha. excited.

fyi, mila is another housemate of mine.

cepat lah 18 September.

cepatlah 18 September.

cepatlah 18 September.

Terduduk.

I have just received a news of a friend that she's going to get engaged this coming raya.

owh gosh. nobody would ever expect this if you knew her. yes. some of you knew her. 5 1/2 years studying together?

seriously i was so shocked and i am still now. i just can't believe my ears.

but indeed it was a very good news. i am glad that she told me before the engagement. kalau selepas, ada yang putus kawan. haha.

for you dearie if you read this, i am very very very happy for you. serius tadi aku rasa macam nk menangis. terduduk aku tadi. another good friend is moving on to another phase in life. i afraid that i will lost you, the ever-crazy-cheerful one. but i know that you would be the same.

she always asked me when will i get married. tengok-tengok, dia dulu.

I AM HAPPY FOR YOU.

and he is very lucky to have you.

Kasut raya.

semalam terbeli a pair of shoe. tujuan sebenar ke bandar adalah mencari satu kemeja kotak2 ala vantage ataupun skirt kembang2 ala jaiho.

tapi lain yang di rembat. heh.

it was a real good catch as to replace the shoe yang dicuri oleh anjing pada minggu lepas. it stole one of the shoe. gile jahat anjing ni!

rasa nak menangis bila sedar sandal ku hilang sebelah. bersusah-payah kami (aku + sm) round jb looking for the sandal.

after 3 kali di pakai, the shoe had been stolen by a dog!!! if i knew which dog la kan.. mati la kau.

and faa, this shoe is really good for walking. and also good for the pocket too. aku terasa mahu beli dua semalam. nasib baik tidak tamak.

now, kasut raya is checked from the list.

yeay yeay dah ada kasut raya!!

God bless.

Ayah flew off to Tanah Suci this morning with his friends. he goes there to perform umrah. it is like a kemestian for ayah to go there during Ramadhan. perhaps he feels not complete if he didn't go there each time Ramadhan comes.

The flight that he's taking will depart at KLIA this afternoon and they will transit for 5 hours at Abu Dhabi before continue the journey to the destination.

InsyaAllah ayah will be coming home pada malam raya. if raya jatuh on the 2oth.

Doa kakda selalu bersama ayah. Allah bless your journey pergi dan balik.

Amin.

Best kan?

it is really a good feeling to have a career with promising money and encouraging customer.

i just couldn't help to hide the smile on my face everytime i go to the bank on the 25th of the months and watch the balance on the machine's monitor.

what more when it comes in early. very early indeed.

next month it will be on the 10th.

next next month it will be on the 8th.

so kawan-kawan seangkatan, hargailah duit sendiri!

:)

$$$ wise

i always love something colourful, lively, free, energetic and simple; simply because i believe those resembles me so much.

i bought a new bedsheet together with comforter days ago. and i'm in love with it.

everytime i lay my eyes on it, i'll feel like flying high and jump on it like kids. well. i'm not that old.

:p

the price is RM719.00 but wait!

i got 80% discount.

want to know the selling price? count it yourself.

hah.

Menu berbuka bujang.

it's been a success 5 days of ramadhan. and i am still doing great. my mak called me on the very first day worrying that this daughter will be having a severe attack of hungry-ness (?). as i always have this problem since i was young only on the couple days of early ramadhan.

Thank God that it's not happen to me this year. perhaps because He knew that i am fasting alone and break fast alone. and nobody can make me a cup of milk for that reason. thank you mak. for always be there all the time.

there are good time and mostly bad time (read: bored to death) while i'm staying at home alone. but i am surviving.

tak sedih ke puasa sorang2, buka puasa sorang? well. ada lah sikit.

being alone, i didn't cook at all. except for the rice lah. here are my menu-s for the last 5 days of fasting.

1st day
tett!! no pictures. nampak sgt kelaparan. heh. but the menu was nasi putih with ayam masak pedas and telur dadar.

2nd day
nasi putih
ikan kembong bakar with air asam
rendang daging

3rd day
nasi beriyani
ayam masak madu
rendang daging
acar timun
kuih cara manis + berlauk (sedap)

4th day
nasi putih
tomyam campur super hot
telur dadar
kueh-mueh (dapat free!)

5th day
nasi putih
sup kosong
udang goreng tepung
telur dadar special

except for yesterday, semua makanan termasuk nasi tidak berjaya dihabiskan. jadik, dustbin lah tempat nye.

menu wajib adalah kurma, air putih and tea o. except for yesterday. i had ribena juice sebab berbuka puasa di eastern plaza. busy meng-shoppingkan diri at the lingerie department. sale woot!

so far thank God i've never missed the terawikh just yet. kudos to hormon rajin. heh. basically these are all i had since we started fasting and for sahur, i woke up only to drink some water (sebab malas nak gosok gigi untuk makan).

:)

The Darker the better guys.

a must read entry.

a new discovery on how to slow cancer risk has been found by two studies. the Harvard studies and from Israel's University of Haifa (IUoH).

IUoH did the study in 164 countries through the satellite measurements of night-time light. they found out that the most brightly lit had the highest rates of prostate cancer, more than double those in the dimmest nations.

the harvard researchers also discovered that woman that those who sleeps with the light on were about 60 percent more likely to develop breast cancer.

why is this happening?

they believe that artificial light at night may contribute to cancer, perhaps because it slow production of the hormone melatonin. and what is this 'hormone melatonin'?

Melatonin is a hormone in the brain that helps regulate other hormones and maintains the body's circadian rhythm. The circadian rhythm is an internal 24-hour time-keeping system that plays a critical role in determining when we fall asleep and when we wake up. Darkness stimulates the production of melatonin while light suppresses its activity. Exposure to excessive light in the evening or too little light during the day can disrupt the body’s normal melatonin cycles. For example, jet lag, shift work, and poor vision can disrupt melatonin cycles. read more about melatonin here. (taken from University of Maryland Medical Center website)

so people,

• sleep in as dark a room as possible.
• use blinds or shades if you live on a bright street.
• keep a night light in the bathroom for midnight visit instead of turning on the overhead.
• a red bulb is the best- the red wave lengths cause the less drop of the hormone.

as for me, i always love to sleep in a dark room. if i sleep with the light-on, i will wake up with red-eyed + migrain + feel like having fever; as if i don't sleep at all.

and i've never have a table light for the whole of my life. i used to dream to have a cute table light as some of my friends have it, but now i think i have the reason of why shouldn't i have a table light.

so, turn off your light and sleep.

Home preview.

some of you might wonder how's my new house look like. here are some new photos.
this is the view from the front door. my room is the one at the back.

the closer look for the hall. for now, we only have a japanese like dining table, hamparan mengkuang, a tv cabinet and tv set.
this is the kitchen. mainly we have nothing yet. no gas to cook, no freezer, no dining place.

we collected cents and we managed to get this for this month. Ultra SlimFit Tv 21 inch Samsung. we installed the astro of course with most of the channels that they offered. it costs us ehem ehem RM105.95 per month for the bill only.

don't worry. it's 3 of us who's paying.

we got ourselves DVD player too.

and last but not least,

the picture of my room.

i have 1 queen-size bed with double mattress (sleeping-bonus). 1 study table with chair. 2 cupboards for the extra numbered of clothes i have, mengkuang hamparan and a clothes hang rail.

now you see mine, show me yours too.

Padah.

this is the FIRST day of holiday.

and im left all alone at home. here in twu.

i'm bored to death. (read: ok. baik mati dari duduk gini)

trying hard to find last minute ticks to fly somewhere seeing my loved ones.

and i don't think they still got it.

unless if you think a return tick for RM 859.00 is cheap.

~dalam kesedihan yang teramat~

We've made it to the top!

refer to this entry.owh. so candid.

DIY on sunday morning.

i was at school yesterday for a short course. so today is the only weekend for me.

i've planned to do this long ago. and today i manage to do it.

what i need are water, a piece of clothe.... (gambar di snap lambat. excuse for the dirty water. heheh)and dirty engine hub. ha ha.
it's been 3 months i drove this car and i think it's quite time for me to clean the engine area.

halfway thru.
and while i was cleaning my car, this young lady was cleaning the lawn by pulling out the wild grass. yes. that is my beloved housemate. rajin kan? some of you knew her.
the end result. the water turns blackish as well as the clothes. i got few scratches on my hand tho.
the after.
can you see the different? please say yes.
and now, let it dry and rest for a while.
how long do i take to finish this? i started at 9:59 am and finished at 10.31 am.

what a fresh way to start my sunday. :)

SMM.

weng dah aku!

Blocked.

still.

i am still thinking of what to do / where to go for this coming 1-hell-week break that i reckon all teachers (mostly my friends) are waiting for.

going back to my hometown is not the option.

i am thinking of flying off somewhere for lil shopping spree. maybe KK or KL. but, i will need to find places to stay first. anyone want to offer me a place to stay? heh.

i may end up staying quietly at home for that 1-week alone.

tapi tak kesah pun...

Apakah motif entri ini?

during the h1n1 break, saya berkesempatan mengunjungi kawasan rekreasi di Twu. kawasan ini adalah diselubingi hutan. jadi motifnya? semasa wabak sedang menular, kurangkan mengunjungi tempat orang ramai seperti pekan atau bandar atau shopping complex. jadi saya dan kawan-kawan membuat keputusan untuk mengadakan ekpedisi ini.

wah. ekpedisi!!!







jadi, apalah motif entri ini?

he he he.

nak tayang seluar adid*s baru lah... wakakaka.

(walaupun tak kelakar, gelak jugak ok!)

mahal tu...
