Titisan selepas hujan
|
|
Saya tak pandai nak tulis sajak. Sejak zaman sekolah sampailah ke tua, memang tak reti nak berpuisi bagai. I can't write a poem to go with it. Jadi cuma boleh copy paste aje lah poem kat bawah ni. Credit to the writer, I simply found it on the internet. I have no plan to 'huds0nize' the poem, if you know what that means 
Droplets
by Stargazer
Her eyes glinted as sunlight played upon blades of grass.
Dew drops' faces reflected rainbows.
Expressions; like points of crystals
Reaching from deep within.
Her hair moved gently as breeze led the dance.
Dew drops let go of their delicate hold.
Like a tear's joyful journey washing away
Flowing from deep within.
She smiled as rainbows touched her heart.
Droplets let go of their delicate hold.
Like dew drops with faces;
Reflecting from deep within.
She blinked as if waking from a dream.
Ink flowed from her pen
Like a journey of beginnings in the palm of her hand.
Stories from deep within.
If you really see around you, there is beauty in everything.
*photos taken from inside my room, almost fell out of my window, was too lazy to get out.

Unpretty yummy
|
|
Ini bukan permukaan planet Marikh. Ini dessert terkini yg gue cuba try test buat - Peach Pie. Dapat resepi from Lin. Easy peasy to make. Tapi Lin punye pie nampak cantik tulus mulus penuh kesopanan. Pie gue buat, ntah ape-ape ropenye. Tak cun langsung. Tapi dijamin sedapsss!
Dah berzaman gak gue tak buat kek/pudding dan desserts yang sewaktu dengannya. Alasan gue, my flatmates are better bakers, so let them do what they're good at. Kalau semua orang baking, sape yang nak tolong makan, kan kan?

One for the new year
|
|
I have this fascination with koru. Anything with koru shape or patterns would catch my attention. I lost my koru shaped greenstone pendant many moons ago. I wonder why I keep losing things that I treasure.
This photo (taken with my old camera, which is now broken  ) has been my pc wallpaper since early November. Just thought that I'd better put it up here since my fotopage has been gathering dust.
Koru is the Māori name given to the new unfurling fern frond and symbolizes new life, growth, strength and peace.

Growing Up In Terengganu
|
|
Let me introduce this gem that those of you in Malaysia can find in your leading bookstores now.
“Awang Goneng does with words what Lat did with pictures.”
–Dr. Annabel Teh Gallop, Head of the South and Southeast Asia section, British Library, London.
Growing Up In Terengganu is a blook about... like the title says, growing up in Terengganu! Just incase you don't know what's a blook, it is a book that contains or is based on content from a blog. I read the writer's blog, kecek-kecek ( http://kecek-kecek.blogspot.com and the archive http://growing-up-in-trengganu.blogspot.com ) for the first time when I came to New Zealand, and I was hooked! Reading his Terengganu stories made me feel closer to home. The writer, Awang Goneng is a Terengganu born journalist based in London. You're gonna love the way he narrates his growing up years in Terengganu (he is incredible with his words!). I grew up in Terengganu at least two decades after him, yet I can relate to his stories and learn so much more than what I knew of Terengganu.
Here's the book description from MPH online:
| Quote: | Growing Up in Trengganu started life as the much-celebrated blog of Awang Goneng (the pseudonym of Malaysia’s most-respected journalist in London, Wan Hulaimi) until it was found to be too good to exist only in cyberspace. Through a collection of memories retold in glorious colour, he evokes the pleasures of a kampung childhood for the benefit of new generations brought up in air-conditioned condominiums. Listen to the azan call to prayer from the surau of Haji Mat Kerinci, order satay with toast for breakfast, meet notables such as Tun Long the laundry man and Cik Wook Payong Löcöh, whose umbrella turned inside-out in a storm, and relive the pleasure of hearing the rain hammer down on a corrugated iron roof while reading the Beano and eating kueh putu.
Sultans, sweetmeat sellers and shopkeepers all act as springboards as you meander through Trengganu history, and by the end of this book you will have painlessly mastered the ‘Trengganuspeak’ that foils even fellow Malaysians. |
in the words of Awang Goneng's lovely wife, KakTeh;
| Quote: | And London did something to him and to me. He yearned and talked about his Trengganu a lot. It takes being away for so long for someone to remember clearly how things were in those days.
For me, the words he paints of Trengganu make me want to go back and see it again, the stories that he tells of his Cik (mother) make me wish I had known her and had tasted the delicious food she used to prepare for him when he was small. She could have taught me a thing or two. I had seen her photographs, but I never knew her. It makes me wonder whether she would be proud to have me as a daughter in law. I guess I would never know. |
So to those from Terengganu, you're gonna love this book! to those planning to marry /already married to a terengganu-folk, you can learn some Ganu-speak & Ganu-culture. To others, there's so much that you can learn about Terengganu from this book. Go get it! (My copy has landed on NZ land, in Dunedin, I can't wait to get it!).

2nd week of raya
|
|
Aku demam/ batuk/ sakit tekak... my nostrils bled, lost my voice many days ago .. and since last night I feel like my eyes were burning, siap bertaik-taik mata sampai tak boleh nak bukak mata properly when I got up in the morning. Ada kaitan ke eye infection with sore throat/fever ek? Any docs can help me out? Si H@mish our uni doctor cuti for labour weekend.. lambat lagi la boleh nak jumpa doctor.
So 2nd raya weekend (Saturday) I manage to pull myself out of bed altho kekadang tu rasa nak pengsan when the analgesic effect of paracetamol & aspirin that I took dah habis... kugagahkan jua kaki melangkah demi raya terakhirku di Chch (Insya Allah). I carried my extra panadols around, enough to keep me 'alive' throughout my raya visits. Sampai aje kat rumah after maghrib, aku pengsan.. but not with a good night sleep, bangun byk kali with coughing fits, and I could no longer sleep under a duvet, my body heat trapped under the duvet made me feels like kena panggang (G panggang doesn't sound like a yummy menu, ain't it?).
Photos from 2nd week(end) of Syawal, I could not upload Sunday photos, dua-dua account flicker dah penuh quota for the month. So click for photos of "dinner@Sopi's" & 2nd Raya saturday:

Raya 1428
|
|
I'm just sick of using fotopages. Uploading only 6 photos each time just drive me crazy.. ade ke cara lain nak upload banyak2 photos sekali kat fotopages ni aaaa?? Kalau ade, please let me know.
Haha.. this is supposed to be a happy shiny raya entry but I end up membebel dulu... elok lah sangat!
Crescent 1 - Me, Ayu, Elin & Emma (ni gambar petang raya, muka dah tak larat)
Raya was greattt!!! albeit a bit penat... mana taknya, I was so confident that raya was going to be on Sunday, so I thought I would have ample time to main masak-masak, siap gelakkan my flatmate yang dah siap masak her ayam masak merah by Asar on Friday when I got home from grocery shopping. So when news came that raya on would fall on Saturday, melatah la makcik! Mana sempat nak anyam ketupat, bakar lemang, kacau dodol semua tu (hehe.. this one aku exaggerate ikut suka hati!).
Aaaaanyway, thank you friends for coming to my place and thank you for all the raya invitations, ampun maaf pasal ada yang tak sempat nak pegi. Selamat Hari Raya to everyone, kawan jauh & dekat... Maaf Zahir Batin.
Pasal aku dah menyampah kat fotopages, click here to see more raya photos (some of them are from Elin's & Ayu's cameras) http://www.flickr.com/photos/15032174@N06/sets/72157602425304997/
