It's A Great Life To Live

bz weekend..
i got home this weekend on friday..on saturday i went to serdang and stayed with my sis..i stayed until sunday evening coz i had a kelas ganti this morning..i went shopping for two days.. well, not really shopping... ada la sikit-sikit...and i went to Bel Canto Concert last night at Istana Budaya.. it was an awesome concert although the sound system could use more improvement.. the orchestra (national symphony orchestra) was superb and the choir was cool..although sometimes the orchestra outperform the choir..coz sometimes i couldnt hear the singing - just the orchestra.. it would be better if the choir was bigger..apart from the choir, there were also syafinaz, eddy chin, chin yong and chan yim mey, being the soloist, baritone, tenor and mezzo soprano.. (i hope i get it right) they were very very good..and also guest artists - zainal abidin, noraniza idris and dayang nurfaizah... so cooll!!! they were fantabulous!! conducted by dr tazul izan tajuddin, i could say i'm satisfied with the discounted tickets.. :D





today's words of wisdom (or not!)
concentrate...

p/s: i'm going to kluang tomorrow for assessment.. wish me luck!!

let's masak-masak..
kuey teow goreng a la pip

bahan a [ditumbuk lumat]
4 bawang putih
4 bawang merah
7 cili padi

bahan berikut dipotong mengikut suka hati anda
3 fish balls
1 biji tomato
beberapa helai daun bawang
beberapa helai daun sup

of course, kuey teow
1 butir telur
kicap pekat
sedikit serbuk pati ayam - kalau tak suka, tak apa..

cara-caranya:
mula-mula, tumis bahan a sehingga naik bau (bukan bau hangit ye..). masukkan serbuk pati ayam sedikit (jangan banyak sangat, nanti masin. you can alternatively use salt).kemudian, masukkan fish balls dan biar sebentar. selepas itu, masukkan kuey teow dan kacau hingga rata.. tambahkan kicap pekat (not too much, nanti tak nampak apa-apa sebab gelap sangat). kacau hingga rata. ketepikan kuey teow ke bahagian tepi kuali, supaya ada satu bulatan di tengah-tengah. pecah kan telur dan tunggu hingga telur masak sedikit sebelum dikacau.. kacau-kacau.. masukkan sayuran.. kacau lagi.. it's up to you if you want the sayur to be a little bit fresh or layu... and tada!!! dah siap...

cubalah dikala kelapangan... resipi ini ditujukan kepada zrett yang jauh di mata, dekat dihati.. bila dah ada dapur sendiri, boleh la cuba yer zrett...

dance like nobody's watching..

got any time in your hands?.. try dancing.. apart from exercise benefits, it reduces stress and you forget everything (..mainly because you are trying to get the steps right!) i couldn't sleep, so i surfed the internet and i found this!! just a few minutes and voila!! i never thought i can tango!! try lah!!

today's words of wisdom..(or not!)
if you are an amateur dancer, dance where there's really nobody watching..when you are sure with your steps, you can dance where everyone's watching.. of course, the former is not applicable when you are in a dance class..surely you will need to dance in front of the instructor right? otherwise, what do you pay him/her for? make full use of your money..don't let it go to waste..

sorry, i digress easily..

cleanin' up my closet.. (pc, actually)

hari ni hari yang membosankan. sepatutnya hari yang agak sibuk, tapi memandangkan minggu ni minggu yang last aku kat sini, jadinya semua pertemuan dengan students jadi singkat. dah tinggal saki-baki syllabus je. tak sampai 20 minit, dah siap. takpelah,bagi chance kat diorang semua. jadi masa yg terluang tu digunakan untuk bergambar kenang-kenangan. masih belum boleh upload lagi. hujung minggu ni, insyaAllah boleh agaknya. paling awal Jumaat, paling lewat... hmm.. the sky is the limit.

since i'm so bored, i decided to clear up my pc's hard disk. my pc's quite old (not that old!). the size of the hard disk is just 16 Gb (only 1 Gb left, that's why i need to clean up the old rubbish.. i want to put new rubbish pulak!). speed is 800 MHz. quite slow compared to today's pc. but i can still use it, it can cater my needs and i love it! so, where was i?.. hhmmm.. yup, so, i was cleaning the hard disk.. it brings back so many memories - to look at all the stuff i put in it many eons ago..! sweet memories.. bitter ones too.. there was this one folder named "website" and i opened it.. so, it has so many files - html files that my friends and i did for the subject website development and programming. i forgot what the webpages are all about so, following my curiousity, i clicked the default.html file. my first reaction was to laugh.. comel gile!! not that it has cute animals or the like.. it's just that the simplicity of the page. the folder was for the group's website - so that we can put anything that concerns our project. our group's name, well, not really our group's name, rather our company's name was Lollapalooza Inc. hehe... i forgot what lollapalooza means.. ask this girl. she found it in the dictionary.

yang kelakarnye website tu, we were required to use css (cascading ......) and so we did lah.. you can say we were very naive inexperience (i can't think of any other words) when it comes to applying our creativity into action.. i'm not saying that we dah pandai but i can say that we have improved especially her. i mean, look at her websites laa.. ok ok.. i digress easily.. so, back to the css files. the styles we used were very basic. nak tunjuk kat orang pun segan. that's how simple they were.. the webpages has 3 frames, one horizontal frame on the top, one vertical frame on the left and the main frame. punya lah teruk kitorang masa tu, we couldn't even get the image mapping right!!

macam-macam lagi yang aku jumpe kat dalam hard disk pc aku. practical training report pun ade jugak. teringat lagi masa tu. first time venture into working world. tiap-tiap hari pegi kerja. almost tiap-tiap hari lambat. makan nasik lemak FAD (kan zrett...), lepak kat lab, turun tgk wayang kat TGV... and the list goes on.. teringat masa bulan posa kena stayback sampai malam.. terawih kat masjid klcc (kan loly...) sebab nak siapkan kerja before habis training. banyak jugak files yang di download (should i say muat turun??) masa kat klcc tuh (no wonder tinggal 1 Gb je).. dah habis practical training folder, jumpe final year project folder pulak. hmm..teringat supervisor aku yang tak sampai 5 kali pun aku jumpa masa buat projek tu. sleepless nights, goreng masa buat presentation (sampai ada yang tak mandi pegi presentation - but not me lah!!), pulun nak cari ayat-ayat yang meyakinkan masa nak buat final report pulak.. heeii, macam-macam.. all those unforgettable memories.. tak sangka sekarang ni dah grad pulak.

oh well.. i know i'll never forget all those sweet memories with my friends, i'm glad our paths crossed..all my friends have helped me to be the person that i am now. thank you for helping me.. :)

today's words of wisdom (or not!):

friendship

to some people, a friend is practically anyone they know

to me, friendship means a much closer relationship,

one in which you take the time to really understand each other

a friend is someone you trust enough to share

a part of yourself the rest of the world may never see

that kind of relationship doesn't come everyday...

but that's the way it should be

Wengg..

Busy day today.. My parents come over yesterday, stay overnight and gone back today at 3.. to see their new granddaughter. The baby-girl has a name - Hanaan (my version of spelling, i don't have any idea what's my brother's spelling). So anyway, my brother said it means kelembutan. Wait, i'll check in the dictionary aa... ok, here it is


Hanaan:
sympathetic, compassionate, pitiful, merciful, loving, affectionate, tender(hearted), warmhearted, softhearted, kindhearted, kind(ly)


I like the name. It has good meaning, and it sounds soft.. (if you say it soft enough ;) ).. By the way, this is the first picture her mother took in the hospital..


my eyes are too heavy! i can't open them.. help!


Ain't that one chubby girl? Her weight is 3.26 kg at birth. Anyway, there's more of these pictures here.

ok laa.. enuff bout the baby.. i'm still struggling to finish the students' carrymarks... with my parents' visit, and hanaan's coming - my life's been a little bit hectic.. I keep telling myself, don't worry, i have 1 more week left. Yep, one more week and I'll be jobless again. Actually, my job here ends on October 5, but since I have an assessment for a government post this coming September 30 for 3 days, I guess I'll finish working end of this September. Better start looking for new job.. *Sigh*

Life must go on...

Being happy can be horwork sometimes. It's like maintaining a nice home. You've got to hang on to your treasures and throw out the garbage. Being happy requires looking for good things.

Today's the first post of my blog. Well, actually not the first coz I've been posting test-blog - rubbish that has no meaning at all. So here I am. Blogging in public for the first time. Nothing interesting today except that it's the birthday of my blog. My blog also shares the birthday with the latest addition to my family; my new niece. At this moment, umur die belum pun sampai sejam. I haven't seen her, so I'm gonna see her tomorrow.. Aiya..! cannot wait lah!!. I'll post the pic when I have it and when I have the time. Meanwhile, this is the pic of my darlings nephews and niece..
