Taylor Swift ft The Civil Wars - Safe and Sound (OST The Hunger Games)

I remember tears streaming down your face

When I said, I'll never let you go

When all those shadows almost killed your light

I remember you said, Don't leave me here alone

But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window

Darling, everything's on fire

The war outside our door keeps raging on

Hold onto this lullaby

Even when the music's gone

Gone

Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound

Just close your eyes

You'll be alright

Come morning light,

You and I'll be safe and sound...

For make up lovers - 6 secrets I learned at makeup artist school

2012-03-18T18:45:00.003+08:00

Salam everyone.

Here a link I like to share with every make up lovers out there. Hope you can learn a thing or two here. Enjoy ^o^

Totalbeauty.com

By Sharon Yi, TotalBeauty.com

You could say that I have a love/hate relationship with makeup. Some days I enjoy playing with all the different colors and get excited when my smoky eye turns out perfectly.

But then there are those days when my liner refuses to go on straight, my bronzer makes me look like an Asian Snookie, or my lashes refuse to curl. That's when I want to toss my makeup bag out my bathroom window.

I had one of those days last week, and after walking into work wearing twovery different winged tips on my eyes, my editor assigned me a new story: Go to makeup school and write about it.

Want to see the best techniques I picked up without spending the thousands of dollars (and crazy amount of time) it takes to go to makeup school yourself?

Totalbeauty.com

Lesson No. 1: Spend some bucks on your tools
At Napoleon Perdis' Makeup Academy in Hollywood, Rebecca Prior, NP's National Educator, begins the first lesson by introducing us to our tools. "To me, tools and products are equally as important as the makeup skills that you have," she says. For example, let's say you were using mediocre brushes, mediocre products, and had average skill. Just by improving the quality of your brushes and using richer pigmented products, the application would immediately be better, even without improving your technique. So if you really want to apply your makeup like a pro, Los Angeles-based educator Felicia Alva says, "Do what the professionals do: Use the proper brushes for application."

Here are the eight basic brushes you need:

1. Foundation brush
2. Concealer brush
3. Fluffy powder brush
4. Blush brush
5. Small blending brush
6. Flat eyeshadow brush
7. Precision angle brush
8. Lip brush

Once you have your tools, you need to know how to hold them. Make Up For Ever educator Lijha Stewart says, "Where you hold a brush on the handle affects your control. The closer your fingers are to the barrel (the silver section beneath the brush head), the more pressure you put on the brush head and vice versa." In general, if you want to apply color evenly, place your fingers on the center of the brush handle. Another tip: You can easily turn a fluffy brush into a flat, angled brush by wrapping your hand around the bristles and flattening them.

Lesson No. 2: Mix primer with your foundation
I'm sitting in Make-up Designory's Beauty 101 classroom and I'm anticipating today's lesson to be quite the bore-fest. I'm barely paying attention as lead instructor Gil Romero goes through the three different types of foundation: liquid, powder, and cream. Yawn. Wake me up when I'm going to learn something new.

It seems like Romero read my mind, because he immediately hit me with this tip: "You can wear cream foundation as is for opaque, full coverage, or you can break it down to be more translucent by mixing it with some primer," he says. What? Isn't primer only supposed to go on before foundation? But Romero says this is a surefire way to retain the foundation's coverage without looking caked on. Plus, you get to reap the long-lasting durability that cream foundation has over liquids and powders. Prior says this also helps the makeup blend seamlessly with the first layer of primer on your skin.

I raise my hand at this point and ask if cream foundation is OK for oily skin. This is a selfish question, because I struggle with a mid-day oily T-zone. Make-up Designory educator Yvonne Hawker (who also wrote the school's textbook) says everyone can use cream foundation, but those with oily skin should use a damp sponge to apply it. Most foundations have oil in its formula to give the coverage blend-ability. Using the sponge will "pick up the pigment, but not the oil in the foundation." You'll still get great coverage, but not the shine.

For dry or combination skin types, "use your foundation brush and buff the foundation onto the skin, concentrating on the center of your face, which is typically where your skin has the most discoloration," says Hawker. "The further you get from the center, the less coverage you want."

Lesson No. 3: Love your flaws — then conceal them

It's day 3 at makeup school and there's a color wheel on the whiteboard. "The key to being a successful makeup artist is being able to identify someone's undertones and know how to manipulate the color wheel to get rid of unwanted color," says instructor Gina Sandler.

And when Sandler says "unwanted color," I immediately tune in because I want to learn how to cover up my zits, the stubborn redness around my nose, and the bluish hues under my eyes. She says opposite colors cancel each other out, so green-pigmented concealer covers redness, and orangey concealer removes blue. "If you use your beige concealer, it'll only make those areas look muddy," says Prior.

Once Sandler shows us how she gets rid of zits, redness around the nose, and under-eye bags on one of the students, she then pairs us off and has us practice on each other's makeup-free faces. Immediately, all of my insecurities start bubbling up. My bags, my zits, my dark spots … is someone seriously going to be inches away from them? Then one of the students says, "Ugh, I'm so ugly." Sandler responds, "No, you're so cute! You all are!" It's makeup school, but it starts to feel more like we're in a group therapy session. Sandler says practicing on each other is key because you quickly learn how to deal with all types of skin tones and facial features, which you will have to become comfortable with if you want to be a professional.

Lesson No. 4: Fix your face shape
So here's a not-so-secret confession: I hate my face. It's rounder than a Cabbage Patch Kid's and I can't stand my button nose. So when Prior says today's lesson is learning how to contour properly so you can alter your face shape and features, I'm so eager to learn I actually volunteer to be her model at the front of the class. "Contouring is the art of highlighting and shading," says Prior. "Anything that is lighter than the skin tone will make an area more prominent, anything darker will make that area recede." Here's how you can easily alter your face:

If you have a round face and want to make it look more oval: Apply a bronzer a shade or two darker than your skin tone in a "3" shape alongside your face: on your temples, the hollow of your cheeks, and your chin. If you have a prominent forehead: Shade around the outer edge of your forehead along your hairline to minimize the area with bronzer. If you have a flat or wide nose: Shade alongside your bridge starting from your inner brows. Then highlight right on the center of your nose.

If gravity is taking a toll and your cheeks are sagging: Apply a highlighter just above your cheekbone all the way to your temple. Use a blush directly on the cheekbone, then use a bronzer in the hollow of the cheek, underneath your bone.

And if you really want to make your contouring stand out, use a sparkly highlighter, which will reflect the most light. Then for your bronzer, go for a matte finish, which will absorb light and create a stark contrast.

Totalbeauty.com

Lesson No. 5: Make your eyes pop by changing their shape
Just like how I learned to use highlights and shadows to contour my face, I found out that I can use the same info to alter my eye shape, too. Whether you have drooping lids, narrow-set eyes, or they're simply too small, you can use your knowledge of light and shadow to change them.

If you want to add definition: Sweep a light bronzer through the crease of the eye, which is halfway between the lashline and the eyebrow. "As you age, the eye area loses elasticity, and things aren't as shapely as they used to be," says Prior. "This technique is great for mature skin, to give the face more definition." A tip for you blue-eyed girls: An orange-y bronzer in your crease will make your eyes even bluer.

If you have narrow-set eyes: To elongate your eye width, apply a black liner to the outer half of both your upper and lower lashlines, connecting at the outer corner.

If you have drooping, heavy lids: Use what you just learned about highlights and shadows to lift your eye. Apply highlighter above your crease, from the inner to outer lid. Then blend a shadow to the area that you want to push back, which would be the heavy fold. Make sure to blend the edges from the shadow to the highlight.

If you have small eyes: Apply a beige-colored eyeliner to your lower inner rim, which will help make eyes look more open. Then use a black pencil liner along your entire upper and lower lashlines, connecting the lines at the outer corner. The key is to blend the liner with shadow, going outwards. Wherever you place the darkness is where your eye will go, so by smudging the lines, it gives the allusion that your eyes are taking up more real estate on your face.

And the tip I love most for natural definition: Apply a black pencil to yourupper inner rim. "It lengthens the eye and it also sharpens the appearance of the eye, giving more fullness to the natural lashline without seeing the hard edge of a liner," says Prior.

Totalbeauty.com

Lesson No. 6: Think opposites when it comes to color
Remember how I learned that opposite colors on top of each other cancel each other out? OK, well today I learned if you place them side by side, they help each other stand out. Simple, but super important when you're trying to pick the most flattering eyeshadow colors. Here's a cheat sheet:

For blue eyes: Since orange is the opposite color of blue, anything with orange in it will make blue eyes stand out more. "It doesn't have to be a blazing sun color — it just has to have orangey undertones like gold, apricot, or peach," says Prior.

For green eyes: Red is the opposite color of green, which isn't to say you should apply a cherry red-colored eyeshadow to your lids. But you'll help your green eyes pop if you use colors that have red undertones, like deep plums and wine.

For brown eyes: Brown is a neutral color, so any color will work well, says Prior. "But the most standout colors are blue and purple."

Suatu hari yang indah, mak dan ayah saya pergi ke Bandung untuk bercuti. Berdua sahaja.

Pulang dari Bandung, mak saya belikan sepasang kebaya untuk saya.

Saya suka.

Kemudian, mak saya pun keluarkan sepasang kain yang cantik; kain lace warna biru kehijauan dengan lining warna putih kekuningan.

Saya tanya, “Kain tu siapa yang kirim?”

Mak saya jawab, “Kain ni untuk cantik kan? Untuk ko bertunang nanti pun boleh juga.”

NO KOMEN

I celebrated my birthday last Saturday, 9th of October 2010; a day mixed with memories of joy and bitterness. Say, what’s worse than knowing the one you loved get married on your birthday?

Way to go to reminisce your birthday, Amelya!

When someone cracked the news to me, I lost my smile at that instant. I feel like my heart sunk to the bottom of a deep dark pit hole. Damn it! Five years gone by and I still can’t get him out of my head. Could it get any better than it? Urgh~ Well, feeling gloomy and depressed won’t do any good either. I think I should move on or something. Oh, whatever. Next please!

10.10.10

2010-10-12T00:17:00.005+08:00

10.10.10; tarikh yang sangat unik dan sempurna. Semua orang mengambil kesempatan untuk memperingati tarikh tersebut. Ada yang keluar berhibur dan bersantai bersama teman serta keluarga, ada yang riang ria mengadakan parti hari lahir dan tak kurang juga pasangan mempelai yang tersipu-sipu bersanding atas pelamin serba indah. Tak kisahlah bagaimana dan dengan siapa anda menyambutnya, asalkan hati girang dan gembira.

Namun sedang kita sedang bergembira, seluruh rakyat Malaysia digemparkan dengan berita kemalangan maut yang mengorbankan lebih kurang 15 orang penumpang. Kemalangan itu melibatkan sebuah bas Delima Ekspress, sebuah bas milik Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat, dua buah kereta serta sebuah van dan berlaku di Lebuhraya PLUS berhampiran tol Simpang Ampat.

Banyak spekulasi yang timbul selepas kemalangan tu berlaku. Ada yang kata kemalangan tu berlaku sebab kecuaian pemandu, ada yang kata pula ianya berpunca daripada masalah teknikal bas. Walau apa pun puncanya, kini yang tinggal hanyalah tangisan dan air mata mengiringi pemergian mereka yang telah terkorban. Persoalannya kini, apa iktibar dan langkah yang boleh kita ambil untuk mengelakkan insiden seperti ini berlaku lagi?

Tetapkan had laju bas ekspress kepada 50km/j sahaja.

Pemandu bas yang diuji positif dadah atau arak dikenakan hukuman gantung mandatori.

Lesen pemilik syarikat bas ekspress ditarik serta merta dan tidak dibenarkan beroperasi selama-lamanya.

Ops Sikap dijalankan 24 jam.

Bas ekspress yang beroperasi perlu menjalani pemeriksaan Puspakom setiap hari.

Buat la berapa banyak pun undang-undang baru, kalau tak dilaksanakan memang tak guna juga. Cuba tanya semua pemandu di Malaysia ni:

“SETIAP KALI awak memandu di lebuhraya, mesti ada bas ekspress potong kereta awak kat LORONG PALING KANAN kan?”

Saya berani berkata yang semua pemandu akan menjawab YA. Dah kalau bas MEMOTONG di LORONG PALING KANAN, agak-agak la berapa hadlaju bas tu? 90? 100? 120? Undang-undang dah tetapkan hadlaju maksimum bas ialah 90km/j, tapi apa pasal semua orang asyik berjumpa dengan bas yang sekencang angin taufan ni?

Apa semua ni???

Dah terkeluar tahi baru nak gali lubang. Sikap orang Malaysia yang TIPIKAL.

Nota kaki: Ajal maut di tangan Allah. Kita hanya mampu merancang, Tuhan yang menentukan segalanya. Takziah buat keluarga yang terlibat. Al-Fatihah…

Weekends...

2010-10-08T17:07:00.001+08:00

It’s Friday and you know what that means right? Weekend is here bebeh~! It’s the time when you get to hang out with your family and friends watching movies or maybe just simply chill out and facebook-ing at your warm cozy home. Most people especially the working citizens zealously look forward to weekends after spending 5 nerve-wracking days at work. Just merely thinking about it can send them flying high in the sky.

Unfortunately for me, it’s the total opposite. I never look forward to weekends as much as others. Weird huh? Let’s just say that my current lifestyle is the main reason behind it.

My weekend goes like this: I have to tutor two SPM students in the mornings so that I can fit in other plans later; which means I have to get up early because it’s a one hour drive from my home (that is if I’m not stuck in traffic jams). Dude, I literally have wake up damn early on Saturdays and Sundays. Who does that but me? Am I cool or what? Hahaha~ Then there are times when I have to do favors for Emak like fetching my lil’ sis from asrama for outing then sending her back.

It gets better during the month of Syawal when everyone is inviting everyone for open houses on weekends, and not forgetting also the kenduri kahwin invitations. I once got 3 invitations in a day (not to brag or anything) which I insist on attending if I have the time, because I strongly believe that it is the simplest yet courteous gesture to show that you care for your family and friends. So, I end up spending most of my weekend time behind wheels. Late at night when I reach home, I just wanted to have a nice warm bath and go to bed.

I’m not complaining or anything here; in fact I enjoyed having a busy and hectic weekend. It’s just that the weekends squeeze a little bit more brain juice out of me because I have to plan my time wisely or I’ll end up missing any of the invitations. Last minute plans are a big NO NO; will totally be disastrous. Well, honestly it’s not necessarily disastrous, because the adrenalin rush of last minute plans can sometimes be exciting, but I would really try to avoid it as much as possible.

There you have it. So, to my cousins and friends out there, especially my dear Fatin, I’m so very sorry if I can’t be there for you. You have to make extra early appointments to avoid disappointments (hey, this sentence rhymes!). But I’m totally available on weekdays though. To all weekenders, go out and have a blast! You absolutely deserve it. :))

p/s: bila baca balik entri ni, rasa macam diva yang gedik lak…. >.<

Einstein Riddle

2010-10-06T22:03:00.011+08:00

There are 5 houses in 5 different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, or drink the same beverage.

The question is: Who owns the fish?

Hints:

The Brit lives in the red house.
The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
The Dane drinks tea.
The green house is on the left of the white house.
The green homeowner drinks coffee.
The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
The man living in the center house drinks milk.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
The man who keeps the horse lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
The owner who smokes Bluemaster drinks beer.
The German smokes prince.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water.

Einstein wrote this riddle early during the 19th century. He said 98% of the world could not solve it. Its not hard, you just need to pay attention and be patient.

Leave your answer in the comment and I'll get back to you with the right answer.

Good luck! :))

Dilemma Update

2010-10-05T18:05:00.001+08:00

Late afternoon today something totally unexpected but nonetheless exciting happened to me that makes me feel like I’m floating on cloud nine. Lalalala~ just pure joy and extreme happiness as my efforts seems to be paid off. And yet somehow at the same time it troubles me because I’m not sure if I can pull it through.

Naaaaah~ what the heck. Who cares? Since I’ve sign up for it, might as well as enjoy the ride.

Mr 14th October, here I come!!

October Dilemma

2010-10-05T10:12:00.007+08:00

Dilemma #1

I went shopping the other day at Alamanda with the intention of buying a new pair of jeans. When I stopped by Goggle, there was one that catches my eyes. It was a gray wash out jeans with neat brick red seam along both sides. The back pockets seem proportionally sized and spaced with a complimenting ‘Goggle’ stitches. It’s literally love at first sight!

You know for one thing I am not the fussy-girl type when it comes to fashion. I’d simply move on when the one I wanted isn’t available. But at that time it was totally unusual. I have this urge of wanting to own this pair of jeans as if the jeans was screaming to me, “Own me and you will feel the heavenly bliss that you never felt before”. At that instance I made up my mind. Since the price was also within my budget limit, I don’t see why I shouldn’t get one. So I check with the sales girl, but I was disappointed to find out that design were out of stock; the only sizes left were 26 and 27. “Hey, never mind”, I thought. There are other Goggle stores that sold them; I just need little more effort to look for them.

And so I embark on a quest to search for that SACRED pair of jeans at Jusco Cheras Selatan and The Mines but with no prevail. They don’t have it, none of them; I mean NONE of them have it. The frustration I felt was out of this world; it’s as if someone out there from the CIA or FBI is on conspiracy to hide that pair of jeans from me. Urggghh!!

I know the only alternative left is Midvalley; the last place on my search list, but getting there is an adventure I’d like to steer clear from. Either by komuter or my car, I just hate it. The crowd and the traffic are just beyond reasonable. So, I only have this to say:

Damn you Goggle for making my life miserable!

Dilemma #2

I am a big BIG fan of Paramore and Adam Lambert. Their music inspires me in a lot of ways. I even have all their tracks in my precious E71 that I can listen to whenever and wherever. And guess what? Both of them are coming here this month! Adam’s Glamnation Tour is on the 14th and Paramore on the 19th. I know for sure it’s going to be huge.

Then I have these delicate imaginary psychological issues with crowds. I don’t know why but I just can’t stand being surrounded by too many people. Pasar malam and uptowns are among the worst. Not that I never go to such places, it’s just that for me it is more energy-consuming than any other average people and I can get tired easily, because I find it hard for me to concentrate, think and act at the same time with all these motions and rackets going around. Sometimes my mind can go into a total black out and I’ll stand in the crowd not knowing what to do and where to go. The best part is when my migraine kicks in and I have to use every single fibre in my body to stay calm and nice when in fact I’m just all grumpy so that I won’t ruin everyone’s mood. *sigh*

So, the problem now - I want to watch their concerts but I can’t stand being in a crowd. Thinking that I would spent hundreds of ringgits just to have total mind black out and migraine just doesn’t seem right. So, I only have this to say:

Damn you Adam! Damn you Paramore! You guys are in Malaysia and I can’t be there. Thanks a lot!

For everything that happens to me, I blame it all on October!

Damn you Mr October!

Why do you have to be such a pain in the ass?!!

But then again I'm sorry Mr October.

I know I was born in October but why are you making it so hard for me?

I guess I have no one else to blame but me.

*sigh*

Opocot tergolek!!

2010-10-01T19:34:00.006+08:00

Entri kali ni nak cerita pasal tergolek, tersungkur dan terjatuh. Dah lama dah nak tulis pasal tajuk ni, tapi malas punya pasal selalu tak jadi. Akhirnya tercapai juga hasrat ni.

Tergolek, tersungkur dan terjatuh di atas tu sebenarnya bukan kata kerja, tapi kata nama. Dengan erti kata lain Stumbleupon. Apa itu Stumbleupon? Stumbleupon ni ialah sebuah laman web untuk mereka yang suka berinternet tapi tak tahu nak surf apa selain dari facebook dan twitter.

Caranya begini.

Pertama sekali anda perlu mendaftar dan membuka akaun dulu (percuma jah).

Lepas tu, anda perlu memilih topik kegemaran anda dan klik butang “Start Stumbling”.

Pilih sama ada anda mahu muat turun add-on stumbleupon “Get the add-on now” atau mahu mulakan sesi golek-tergolek “Start Stumbling”.

Kalau dah nampak toolbar stumbleupon kat atas, voila~ anda telah berjaya tergolek dengan selamatnya. Mudah je kan? Stumbleupon ni menggunakan konsep rawak, di mana ia akan dengan rawaknya memilih laman web untuk dilayari berdasarkan topik pilihan anda. Kalau anda terjumpa laman web yang best dan nak kongsi dengan kawan-kawan yang lain, klik saja pada ikon facebook/twitter/email/share. Kalau nak balik semula ke homepage akaun, klik je kat ikon bentuk rumah tu.

Kalau anda suka dengan laman web itu, boleh naikkan jari (ala-ala facebook gitew~).

Watch All You Can - sampai lebam!

2010-09-29T22:43:00.005+08:00

Sejak akhir-akhir ni dah menjadi kebiasaan pula keluar menonton wayang seorang diri. Bila terasa nak tengok movie je, bangun bersiap dan terus keluar. Kalau tiba-tiba temujanji/ rancangan dibatalkan pada saat-saat akhir, terus singgah beli tiket kat panggung terdekat.

Banyak kelebihan bila menonton wayang sendirian; tak perlu SMS, tak perlu menunggu, tak perlu mencari. Tak leceh bila memilih tempat duduk yang strategik. Tak perlu mengikut suara majoriti dan menonton filem yang tak digemari. Mudah dan senang. Lagi best kalau buat marathon, beli terus semua tiket, pop corn dan air dan tontonlah sampai lebam.

Tapi, menonton wayang sendirian pun tak semestinya seronok sangat. Setiap kali aku tengok movie berseorangan, brader kat kaunter tiket tu mesti tanya, “Tengok sorang je ke?” Hadei~ dah kalau aku beli tiket satu je, boleh ke masuk dua orang?? Perlu ke tanya lagi? *geleng2 kepala*

Tak kisahlah tengok sendirian ataupun dengan kawan-kawan, tapi aku memang kaki wayang tegar. Antara filem yang dah masuk dalam “Must Watch List” aku sampai hujung tahun ni: (sila klik pada tajuk movie untuk sinopsis)

Rumah Terbuka

2010-09-22T01:07:00.007+08:00

Memandangkan kita masih di bulan Syawal, jadi mood raya tu masih ada lagi walaupun tak semeriah raya pertama. Makanya aku nak bercerita sedikit pasal rumah terbuka.

Rumah terbuka dah jadi sebati dalam budaya menyambut perayaan di negara kita ni, tak kiralah Aidilfitri, Gong Xi Fa Cai mahupun Deepavali. Sanak saudara dan sahabat handai mengambil kesempatan ini untuk berjumpa dan beramah mesra sambil menjamu selera. *makan free, sape tak nak kan*

Minggu lepas, aku sekeluarga mengadakan rumah terbuka sempana Aidilfitri. Meriah macam kenduri kahwin. Nak dijadikan cerita, macam-macam ragam manusia aku jumpa tatkala menjadi tuan rumah; ragam yang baik mahupun yang ‘huduh’. Kita ni bila pergi ke jemputan rumah terbuka, kalau boleh jagalah tatatertib dan sopan santun. Budi bahasa kan budaya kita. Jadi, dari ilmu yang serba sedikit ni, aku nak berkongsi dengan semua etika ketika mengunjungi rumah terbuka. ETIKA, bukan UNDANG-UNDANG; maknanya kalau tak ikut takkan masuk lokap, tapi kalau diikut lebih molek dipandang orang.

Bagi yang merokok, JANGAN BUANG PUNTUNG ROKOK DALAM KAWASAN RUMAH TERSEBUT!

Ni yang aku paling pantang. Nak mengamuk rasanya bila berkemas lepas tetamu terakhir pulang. Puntung rokok bersepah-sepah bawah khemah jamuan. Ingatkan rumah aku ni mapley ke?!! Sungguh tidak bertamadun.

Patuhi masa undangan.

Kalau tuan rumah menjemput datang ke rumah dari jam 12 tenghari hingga 5 petang, datanglah dalam masa yang telah ditetapkan. Mesti ada sebab mereka tetapkan masa tersebut kan? Ada sesetengah tuan rumah tak kisah walaupun kita datang lambat, mereka tetap akan melayan kita dengan senyuman sebab besar pahalanya meraikan tetamu yang datang ke rumah kita. Tapi kalau memang tak dapat dielakkan, minta izin dengan tuan rumah, maklumkan yang kita akan datang lewat supaya tuan rumah boleh bersiap sedia dengan apa yang patut. Kita senang, tuan rumah pun senang.

Waktu melepak.

Bila dah lama tak berjumpa, mesti banyak yang hendak diborakkan, lagi-lagi bila dijamu dengan makanan percuma. Kebetulan pula kawan yang lama tidak berjumpa juga hadir ke rumah terbuka itu, maka berceritalah dari A sampai Z. Tak salah kalau nak berborak, boleh mengeratkan silaturahim sesame manusia; tapi berborak biarlah berpada-pada. Kalau jam dah menunjukkan jam 10 malam, lebih elok sambung cerita tersebut di lokasi lain. Walaupun tuan rumah tak kisah kita nak melepak sampai jam 12 malam, tapi fikir-fikirkanlah kalau kita melepak sampai jam 12, bila pula tuan rumah akan selesai berkemas? 1 pagi? 2 pagi? Esoknya tuan rumah tak perlu bekerjakah? Lu fikirlah sendiri.

Kalau nak membebel lagi memang banyak, contohnya macam etika berpakaian, etika ketika berborak, etika makan dan sebagainya, tapi cukuplah setakat di sini. Nanti panjang berjela lak entri ni. Kesimpulannya, bila pergi ke jemputan rumah terbuka, jangan menyusahkan tuan rumah, jangan menyusahkan tetamu lain yang hadir. Habis cerita.

Selamat Hari Raya~!

Raya lagi

2010-09-18T14:04:00.006+08:00

Salam.

Tahun ini ligat aku beraya. Semua rumah aku nak pergi, sampai ada rumah yang aku datang beraya dua kali. Seronok~! Raya la alasan terbaik untuk berkunjung ke rumah kawan-kawan yang jauh mahupun dekat.

Bermula raya ke-2, aku dan keluarga berkonvoi 3 kereta beraya di Segamat dan Tangkak sebelum bermalam di situ. Keesokkan harinya pula sambung perjalanan ke Melaka & PD dan pulang ke rumah kira-kira jam 12 malam. Bila beraya berkonvoi ni biasa la, macam-macam ragam. Berhenti isi minyak pun kadang-kadang sampai setengah jam sebab Q kereta yang panjang. Yang tercicir masa konvoi pula lain cerita. Leader kat depan dah masuk simpang kiri, yang mengikut kat belakang tak perasan; nak kena tunggu semua pusing balik pulak. Haish~

Aku rasalah kan, bila berkonvoi lebih dari 2 kereta, lebih memudahkan perjalanan kalau setiap kereta ada walkie talkie (cikai2 punya pun takpe). Bayangkanlah kalau konvoi 3 kereta; Leader dah masuk simpang kiri tapi dua biji kereta yang mengikut di belakang tak perasan. Leader nak kena call setiap kereta untuk memaklumkan. Tu kalau tercicir sekali; kalau dua kali, tiga kali, berkali-kali, hadeii~ jenuh tuh. Kalau konvoi 5 kereta? Kopak weyh…

Raya ke-4 pula aku beraya dengan dua orang cikgu; sorang berenang datang dari Sabah, sorang lagi cikgu paling rock kat Taman Melati. Kami singgah beraya rumah Aainaa dan Tini, singgah berjumpa dengan baby Bry sebelum singgah beraya di Kotak Merah. Raya ke-5 pula aku beraya berdua sahaja dengan cik eskrim ke rumah Aainaa (dengan tanpa segan silu datang beraya lagi), Nuex dan Ecah sebelum singgah beraya di Kotak Muzik pula. Raya ke-6 pula aku beraya rumah Lijoh (Raub) dan Lija (Lipis) dengan Wani, Ana, dan Vil. Lama dah tak berjumpa mereka. RINDU~! Seronok bila melepak bersama, teringat kenangan masa di UKM dulu.

Mari bercerita pasal makan pula. *____*

Dari raya ke-2 sampai la raya ke-6, makanannya: mee Singapore, Laksa Johor, Laksa Penang, mee goreng, satay, spaghetti, kek coklat, dadih, gulai ikan, sambal udang…. *geleng2 kepala*

Tak terkawal~! TAK BOLEH KAWAL~!! Akibatnya: keracunan makanan. Muntah-muntah dan cirit-birit di hari-7; seharian tiada selera makan sebab tekak terasa mual. Padan muka kepada diri sendiri. Perut pun boleh crash tau, tuan punya perut je yang tak reti2 nak control. Oleh itu, saya nak mengingatkan kepada semua supaya berpada-pada bila menjamu selera di musim lebaran ini, lebih-lebih lagi sekarang ni sudah tiba musim open house. Macam-macam juadah yang disajikan. Makanlah mengikut kesesuaian. Jangan jadi macam tuan punya perut ni.

Walaupun terpaksa PAUSE raya buat seketika, tapi tak bermakna aku berhenti beraya terus. Raya sebulan weyh! Rumah yang aku belum datang lagi tu, siap2 la, tunggu aku datang.

Misi raya akan diteruskan~!!

Raya Update

2010-09-10T20:21:00.002+08:00

Fuh~ Fuh~ Uhuk~ Uhuk~

Lama dah tak update blog ni, tak sedar dah berhabuk ha3. Asyik copy n paste isi kandungan dari web orang je. Kalau kasi alasan kononnya busy nampak macam cliché sangat pula kan. Abaikan je la.

Memandangkan sekarang dah masuk bulan Syawal, saya nak bercerita pasal Hari Raya Aidilfitri la (nak cerita pasal puasa macam dah basi lak kan). Tahun ni macam biasa seisi keluarga kena pakai baju yang sedondon. Sedondon di sini bukan bermaksud tema warna sama, tapi sedondon yang memang SEDONDON; kain dibeli dari papan yang sama. Setakat ini tradisi tu masih bertahan dengan gahnya atas suara veto ayahanda ho3.

Raya tahun ni tak banyak berubah dari tahun-tahun lepas, adik-beradik semua berkumpul sebelum menjelang raya. Selepas solat raya sesi fotografi dan diikuti dengan sesi bermaaf-maafan antara ahli keluarga. SERONOK~!! Tak tahu la berapa lama lagi suasana ni akan berterusan~ Ye la, masing-masing belum kahwin lagi. Esok lusa bila masing-masing dah kahwin, mesti susah nak berkumpul macam ni lagi.

Terima kasih kepada kawan-kawan yang menghantar kad raya dan SMS ucapan raya. Maaf la kalau tak terbalas, insyAllah esok lusa nanti saya balas. Di sini saya juga ingin memohon maaf kepada sahabat handai saudara mara sekalian sekiranya ada terkasar bahasa atau tersilap kata, minta halalkan makan minum kalau ada yang terlebih atau terkurang. Bulan syawal ni kan bulan yang mulia untuk saling bermaafan, maka jika ada di luar sana yang masih berdendam atau termakan hati dengan saya, saya minta maaf dari hujung rambut ke hujung kaki. Kalau nak setel face-to-face pun takde hal la, jemput la datang beraya ke rumah.

Akhir sekali, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri buat semua kaum Muslimin dan Muslimat di seluruh dunia.

Raya weyh~ jangan tak raya!!

Ode to the Nice Guys

2010-08-22T12:43:00.002+08:00

Ode to the Nice Guys

This rant was written for the Wharton Undergraduate Journal

This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl’s every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style.

This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they’re at her door, for the guys who accompany girls to bars as buffers against the rest of the creepy male population, for the guys who know a girl is fishing for compliments but give them out anyway, for the guys who always play by the rules in a game where the rules favor cheaters, for the guys who are accredited as boyfriend material but somehow don’t end up being boyfriends, for all the nice guys who are overlooked, underestimated, and unappreciated, for all the nice guys who are manipulated, misled, and unjustly abandoned, this is for you.

This is for that time she left 40 urgent messages on your cell phone, and when you called her back, she spent three hours painstakingly dissecting two sentences her boyfriend said to her over dinner. And even though you thought her boyfriend was a chump and a jerk, you assured her that it was all ok and she shouldn’t worry about it. This is for that time she interrupted the best killing spree you’d ever orchestrated in GTA3 to rant about a rumor that romantically linked her and the guy she thinks is the most repulsive person in the world. And even though you thought it was immature and you had nothing against the guy, you paused the game for two hours and helped her concoct a counter-rumor to spread around the floor. This is also for that time she didn’t have a date, so after numerous vows that there was nothing “serious” between the two of you, she dragged you to a party where you knew nobody, the beer was awful, and she flirted shamelessly with you, justifying each fit of reckless teasing by announcing to everyone: “oh, but we’re just friends!” And even though you were invited purely as a symbolic warm body for her ego, you went anyways. Because you’re nice like that.

The nice guys don’t often get credit where credit is due. And perhaps more disturbing, the nice guys don’t seem to get laid as often as they should. And I wish I could logically explain this trend, but I can’t. From what I have observed on campus and what I have learned from talking to friends at other schools and in the workplace, the only conclusion I can form is that many girls are just illogical, manipulative bitches. Many of them claim they just want to date a nice guy, but when presented with such a specimen, they say irrational, confusing things such as “oh, he’s too nice to date” or “he would be a good boyfriend but he’s not for me” or “he already puts up with so much from me, I couldn’t possibly ask him out!” or the most frustrating of all: “no, it would ruin our friendship.” Yet, they continue to lament the lack of datable men in the world, and they expect their too-nice-to-date male friends to sympathize and apologize for the men that are jerks. Sorry, guys, girls like that are beyond my ability to fathom. I can’t figure out why the connection breaks down between what they say (I want a nice guy!) and what they do (I’m going to sleep with this complete ass now!). But one thing I can do, is say that the nice-guy-finishes-last phenomenon doesn’t last forever. There are definitely many girls who grow out of that train of thought and realize they should be dating the nice guys, not taking them for granted. The tricky part is finding those girls, and even trickier, finding the ones that are single.

So, until those girls are found, I propose a toast to all the nice guys. You know who you are, and I know you’re sick of hearing yourself described as ubiquitously nice. But the truth of the matter is, the world needs your patience in the department store, your holding open of doors, your party escorting services, your propensity to be a sucker for a pretty smile. For all the crazy, inane, absurd things you tolerate, for all the situations where you are the faceless, nameless hero, my accolades, my acknowledgement, and my gratitude go out to you. You do have credibility in this society, and your well deserved vindication is coming.

Muhasabah Diri

2010-08-13T22:54:00.000+08:00

Seronok sana. Seronok sini. Di mana-mana seronok. Bila banyak sangat seronok, Allah akan uji kita dengan dugaan. Macam-macam dugaan. Dugaan ringan, berat, banyak mahupun sedikit. Dugaan itu bukan bertujuan untuk melemahkan semangat. Dugaan itu adalah cara Allah untuk mengingatkan kita supaya kurangkan sedikit seronok sebab di luar sana masih ramai lagi yang tak pernah merasa erti keseronokan. Dugaan itu penghapus dosa. Rasulullah pernah bersabda: “Bahawa besarnya sesuatu balasan itu menurut besarnya sesuatu bencana ujian; dan bahawa Allah apabila mengasihi sesuatu kaum diuji mereka, kemudian sesiapa yang menerima ujian itu dengan reda, maka dia akan beroleh keredaan Allah, dan sesiapa yang bersikap keluh kesah serta benci menerima ujian itu, maka dia akan mendapat kemurkaan dari Allah.”

Aku tak berkecuali. Aku selalu lupa pada DIA. Tatkala aku sedang bersuka ria dan berseronok, aku telah diuji dengan pelbagai dugaan. Dugaan yang hampir mematahkan semangat aku. Aku hilang arah. Ketika ini baru aku sedar yang aku telalu leka dan lalai dengan duniawi. Aku bersyukur kerana telah diberi peringatan oleh DIA di bulan yang mulia ini. DIA masih sayangkan aku. Setiap ujian dan dugaan yang menimpa pasti ada hikmahnya. Aku pasti. Aku perlu tabah dan cekalkan hati untuk mengharungi dugaan ini sebab aku tahu akan ada ganjaran buat aku nanti.

Ayuh berusaha, Alifah Amelya!

Cat Talk

2010-08-02T08:34:00.006+08:00

Have you ever saw and heard people talking to their pet cats? For cat lovers, that is not an out of the ordinary scene. It’s a common practice. But have you ever wonder why on earth do they do it? It’s not like they understand what the cat is actually meowing about. What’s more is that the cat CANNOT and WILL NEVER figure out what owners said to them.

Well guys, if you ever thought or felt that way obviously you are wide of the mark. Owners and pets do really understand each other. They really do. Watch this.

The truth is, cats actually do all kinds of things that we usually do. For instance, cats also gossip among each other, but not in front of humans. They just don’t feel cool showing it to us. Don’t believe me? Watch this.

Have you ever hurt someone with your foul and awful words? You feel terrible soon after that because you were just too angry and you don’t mean any words that slip out of your mouth. That happens to cats too. Argument is inevitable when your spouse was cheating on you. After watching this, you should understand why you should not interfere with cat squabbles on the street.

This is the last and probably my most favorite video. I don’t know what this grumpy cat was ranting about but obviously she has issues with dogs, John and Johnson. Folks, please don’t irritate any cat out there or you might be the next on her hate list.

p/s: YouTube is sooooooo much fun to watch when you know where to find

Lagu best tapi...

2010-07-20T02:06:00.006+08:00

Salam.

Anda suka dengar lagu? Sudah tentu. Di dunia ini mana ada orang yang tak suka dengar lagu, yang berbeza mungkin citarasa setiap individu. Muzik dan lagu pula ada macam-macam genre; ada jazz, pop, balada, nasyid, rock, heavy metal dan lain-lain lagi.

Kenapa orang suka dengar lagu? Mungkin kerana liriknya yang sentap menusuk kalbu, atau iramanya yang mampu membuat kita ingin menari mengikut alunannya dan mungkin juga sebagai hiburan semata-mata untuk memecah kesunyian di pejabat. Walau apa pun alasannya, muzik tidak dapat dipisahkan lagu dari kehidupan seharian kita.

Tapi entri kali ini bukan pasal muzik atau lagu, tapi pasal LIRIK. Saya nak berkongsi dengan semua 6 lagu barat yang menjadi siulan ramai walaupun liriknya boleh dikategorikan sebagai ‘entah apa apa’. Jom layan~!

Lagu #1 Who Let the Dogs Out – Baha Men

Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)

Lagu ni pernah menjadi lagu tema untuk filem Walt Disney bertajuk The Shaggy Dog. Lepas ni buat lagu pasal keluarkan kucing pula nak?

Lagu #2 Whenever Wherever – Shakira

Lucky that my breasts are small and humble

So you don’t confuse them with mountains

Sungguh tidak logik kekeliruan ini…

Lagu #3 London Bridge – Fergie

How come every time you come around
My London London Bridge want to go down
Like London London want to go down
Like London London be going down

Kenapa bila kau datang jambatan London saya nak turun? Sila jawab!!

Lagu #4 I’m Blue – Eiffel 65

I have a blue house with a blue window
Blue is the color of all that I wear
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
Blue are the people here that walk around
Blue like my Corvette it's standing outside
Blue are the words I say and what I think
Blue are the feeling that live inside me

I'm blue (da ba dee...)
I'm blue (da ba dee...)

Rumah, tingkap, baju, jalan, pokok, awek, orang, kereta -- semua biru. Biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru, biru…

Lagu #5 Macarena – Lol Des Rio

Dale a tu cuerpo alegria Macarena
Que tu cuerpo es pa darle alegria y cosa buena
Dale a tu cuerpo alegria, Macarena
Hey Macarena x2

Walaupun sepatah haram pun tak faham maknanya, lagu ini tak sah dinyanyikan tanpa iringan tariannya.

Lagu #6 Bad Romance – Lady Gaga

Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah!
Roma-roma-maa
GaGa-ooh-la-la!
Want your bad romance

Lagu ni sangat fofular walaupun ada bunyi macam jampi separah nak halau jin.

Walaupun lirik-lirik lagu di atas boleh membuatkan Pak Ngah dan Habsah Hasaan menangis, tapi kita semua tetap layan~!

p/s: Akan datang mungkin akan dipertimbangkan untuk mencari lagu-lagu hits melayu dengan lirik yang ‘bombastik’ pula

We'll Be a Dream

2010-07-16T13:12:00.003+08:00

We’ll Be a Dream

By We The Kings feat. Demi Levato

Do you remember the nights we stayed up just laughing.
smiling for hours at anything.
Remember the nights we drove around crazy in love

When the lights go out
We'll be safe and sound
We'll take control of the world,
like its all we have
to hold on to
and we'll be
A dream

Do you remember the nights we made our way dreaming
hoping of being someone big
We were so young then we were too crazy in love

When the lights go out,
we'll be safe and sound
We'll take control of the world
likes its all we have
to hold on to
and we'll be
A dream

Whoaa Whoaa
Whoaa Whoaa
..

When the lights out
(when the lights go out)
We'll be safe and sound.
(We'll be safe and sound)
Well take control of the world
Like its,
all we have to hold on to.
And we'll be
(And we'll be)
And when the lights go out.
(and when the lights go out)
We'll be safe and sound,
we'll take control of the world.
Like its all we have to hold on to.

And we'll be,
a
dream.

Fakta Trivia

2010-07-08T19:46:00.002+08:00

Salam.

Hari ini nak berkongsi dengan semua 7 fakta menarik tentang tubuh badan kita yang kurang diketahui umum.

Fakta #1 Tahukah anda setiap kali anda menjilat setem anda telah membakar sebanyak 0.1 kalori?

Purata nilai kalori sebiji burger adalah 300. Sekiranya anda telah makan sebiji burger untuk sebagai sarapan, anda perlu menjilat sebanyak 3 000 setem untuk membakar kalori tersebut. Sungguh beruntung mereka yang bekerja di pejabat pos.

Fakta #2 Tahukah anda ketika anda bersin ia mampu mencapai halaju sehingga 100 mph?

Kalau ditukar mph kepada km/h, 100 mph adalah bersamaan dengan 160 km/h; melebihi had laju yang dibenarkan di atas lebuhraya di Malaysia. Oleh itu, tisu adalah medium terbaik untuk menghindari tempias.

Fakta #3 Tahukah anda orang yang bijak mempunyai lebih banyak kandungan zink dan tembaga (copper) dalam rambut mereka?

Saya tiada bukti saintifik yang kukuh untuk menyokong fakta ini. Makanya jangan sesekali cuba untuk melulur rambut anda dengan zink mahupun tembaga semata-mata untuk menjadi bijak.

Fakta #4 Tahukah anda kuku jari paling cepat tumbuh adalah pada jari hantu (jari tengah)?

Sesetengah orang suka menunjukkan jari tengahnya kepada semua apabila tidak gembira. Mungkin itu simbolik untuk melambangkan mereka tidak gembira dengan hidup mereka yang berlalu dengan terlalu pantas.

Fakta #5 Tahukah anda yang wanita mengelipkan mata dua kali lebih banyak berbanding lelaki?

Ini sudah tentu. Kerlipan mata si gadislah yang membuatkan sang jejaka jatuh hati. Bayangkan jika sang jejaka yang beriya-iya mengerlipkan mata. Pelik kan?

Fakta #6 Tahukah anda yang anda tidak boleh membunuh diri dengan menahan nafas sendiri?

Dalam banyak-banyak cara nak bunuh diri, inilah cara yang paling bodoh sekali. (Peringatan: membunuh diri adalah dilarang keras sama sekali dalam Islam. Syirik!)

Fakta #7 Tahukah anda bahawa anda tidak boleh bersin dengan mata terbuka?

Kalau tak kisah mata anda sendiri terkeluar dari soketnya, silalah cuba dan beritahu saya hasilnya ya!

Mungkin fakta-fakta di atas tidak berguna dalam kehidupan seharian, tapi sekurang-kurangnya anda mempunyai lebih ilmu berbanding orang di sebelah anda!

Fenomena Sotong

2010-07-08T16:13:00.003+08:00

Ah Chong adalah seorang kanak-kanak yang ceria. Dia baru memulakan persekolahan darjah satu pada tahun ini. Ah Chong sangat meminati bola sepak. Semua jenis perlawanan dan liga dia tonton. Liga Malaysia, EPL, Serie A dan yang sedang berlangsung sekarang Piala Dunia. Ah Chong mula-mula sokong Portugal, tapi dah kalah. Lepas tu dia sokong Argentina pula, tapi kalah lagi. Lepas tu Germany pula, kalah juga lagi. Setiap Negara yang dia sokong asyik kalah sahaja menyebabkan dia berasa putus asa untuk menyokong mana-mana negara. Dia mengambil keputusan untuk terus menonton sahaja baki perlawanan yang ada.

Ah Chong terdengar cerita tentang fenomena ramalan sotong tentang keputusan perlawanan bola. Semua ramalannya benar belaka. Ah Chong sangat kagum dengan sotong itu. Dia tidak pernah berjumpa dengan sotong seumur hidupnya. Dalam hatinya dia menyimpan hasrat untuk bertemu dengan sotong itu sebelum berakhirnya Piala Dunia.

Suatu hari Ayah Ah Chong membawa dia melancong ke Jerman. Dia sangat seronok kerana hasratnya hampir tercapai. Sotong yang dia ingin temui ada di sini. Dia sangat berterima kasih kepada ayahnya. Ketika mereka sedang bersiar-siar, dia ternampak sotong di hadapannya lalu bertanyakan kepada ayahnya,

Ah Chong : (sambil menuding jari ke arah sotong) Ayah, jom kita tanya kat sotong-sotong tu apa prediction dia untuk final nanti.

Sotong 1 : Nokk…kaki mak rasa ringan je nih.

Sotong 2 : Kang ada yang terkena tendangan sakti mak.

Sekian.

Nota kaki: kisah ini tiada kaitan dengan sesiapa yang hidup atau yang telah mati. Sekiranya ada, itu adalah kebetulan semata-mata.
