Shopaholic it is~

Yesterday..went to KK with Danial. n guess what???

i bought something that i had been wishing i had own~

These;

I've always wanted to collect these novels one at a time. Why one at a time?

Cuz one costs about RM35. Where m i gonna get d money to collect 5? Besides, i'm a slow reader. so i wouldn't really feel the gap of not having to read a Sophie Kinsellas'.

But this time..i get to buy these Shopaholic's set! Cuz why? Cuz it's sold in a set, n it's cheaper than having to buy it individually. Besides, i have enough pocket money for these yesterday.

These 5 buy books costs RM136 only. Get it why its' still available at Popular bookstore near u!

hehe. 

 There's just one more of Kinsella's book that i don't have. "Twenties Girl". But i'll own em sooner or later. i heard feedbacks from Kinsella's fan on facebook saying..it's the best so far.

Looking-forward~

We Knew Something was Wrong~

SATURDAY 26th JUNE 2010

Went to Labuan.

Mama, Danial, Tasya n I went to Labuan by speedboat from Menumbok. It was actually my 1st time. I usually go to Labuan by Express directly fom KK. By Express, it takes 3 hours to reach Labuan. But by speedboat, it only takes 20 minutes. But on d contrary, u'd have to drive or take a bus to Menumbok from KK. Whereby the journey takes up to 2 hours plus2. So either way..it still takes up to 3 hours from KK to Labuan. The moment we reachd Labuan, Papa came to greet us. Went for brunch n ate Roti Cobra. I've no idea how'd it got the name. Here's a picture of it.

It's actually Roti kosong. Then they'd pour over the Roti with curry (chicken/beef)..then add an egg on the top. n it's called Roti Cobra. Like i said, no idea why Cobra? but it's super delicious~

Then we went shopping for chocolates..*drool*.. I bought myself an M&M's..n this time i bought one of its' collection.

I'm planning to collect more of its kind, but in d future that is~ U know how expensive these collections are.

Next..to d shoe shop! Yess!! I've finally bought a sneaker. All these while, I wore my dad's Adi. It was a lil big, but thankx to the sox. It fitted well. there was this one shoe i set my eye on d 1st time we went to the shop..Unfortunately..unfortunately...it hadn't my size~ then my mom n Danial fell heart on it as well..n luckily for them..they had the size. Boo-hoo me! So in the end..i bought these.

It's actually a futsal-fitted shoes..but i'll manage. It's really comfy. Thanks to Danial n Papa for suggesting these.

So we've had our brunch, shop chocolates, bought shoes..then suddenly my dad's friend suggested lunch. Mann..we just ate our brunch, n it's like 2 hours ago. I surely couldn't afford another heavy meal. I mean, roti cobra was already heavy. So Danial, Tasya n I only ate a plate of Cucur Udang. n yet, we couldn't even finish 'em.

btw, this picture doesn't mean i'm actually slurping the sauce OK? Picture purpose ONLY!

Now that i'm fully loaded..not with money tho (how i wish)..we finally headed home. It was 3pm by the time. Dad's friend offered for dinner at 5pm. n we were like.."No way~" eat..eat..eat..was never-ending that day. So in d end, Papa proposed of having dinner at 8pm. Thank God~

We ate at Choice Restaurant..I just love~ Mamak restaurants. My favourite dish would be Roti Naan Cheese. It was actually burnt a little..so it wasn't as great as i'd expected would b that night. Still..with the help of Danial, i managed to finish up the Naan. 

SUNDAY 27th JUNE 2010

This morning, Mom n Dad went out to settle something. So the rest of us sat at home n woke up late. haha. Then at noon, we went to Ujana Kewangan a.k.a UK..the only shopping complex there is in Labuan. Dad had a talk to attend, so Mom had to send him off. Then she went to a friend's house to chitter chat. n for the 3 of us..we planned of playing bowling..but Darn~ it was full. so we just hung around d UK. Bought another graphic novel for my collection. *smile*

After Dad finished with the talk thing..we head off back to Menumbok. n this is where the story of my life begins. 

It was cloudy.not raining. So we had no idea at all of what was gonna happen to us in minutes time. So we got on the boat n head back to Menumbok.

Halfway through..we started feeling rain. Our boat was hooded, so we were kindda protected. but somehow, suddenly the boat comes to a slow.then a stop. We were like "wht's happening. We knew something was wrong. I mean, they cant just stop in a journey. Unless there was a mermaid to look at..haha. Only then we realized that we were lost. It was raining, n it was hazy. Not a glimpse of an island at all. There should be no worries of lost at all from Labuan to Menumbok cuz its' surrounded by islands. but our time..it was in a blind spot. Totally white view only. Good thing was..our boat wasn't d only one that got lost. There were 2 other boats. n luckily we managed to stick together. Credits to the driver cuz they took d right action to stop d boat rather then swooshing off to nowhere. Cuz if they dozed off another 100m..we'd probably hit a rock area. Phew~

after 15 minutes of stopping..we were already getting seasick. Then finally..one person spotted an island. Since these drivers are experienced..they knew exactly where they were heading.

After bout 45 minutes on the boat..we finally 'landed'..Thank God~ Normally, it only takes 20 minutes..but it wasn't our day. Still..i'm still alive!

Back home in KK.

Bosannye dok umah...i feel "wide" already. Rasa cam lemak tepu sedia menebal dah ni..

Stiap kali cuti sem..badan mesti naik. Leceh tul!

Pagi2 bangun..dok menghadap TV. Tgh hari klau rajin..ada la masak sket buat santapan tgh hari. Klau malas,..kropok2 atau maggi je la buat peneman. Otherwise..tak makan pun. Biasanya klau dok umah sorang2 ni..keinginan untuk makan tu takde la sangat. Lain la klau ada member..menguyah je keje. n still..walaupun tak  makan, badan tetap naik. Iya..aku paham..badan akan naik bukan sahaja disebabkan oleh faktor pemakanan, malah dsebabkan oleh faktor hidup yg kureng sihat n x seimbang..bla3. Abih tu, n watpe? Nk keje..tinggal brapa hr je lagi sbelom buka sem. Klau nk jalan2 area neighborhood nie..malas ah. Pagi2 sure la still kat katil dibuai mimpi. Tgh hari mana ada orang jalan2. Tu buang tebiat namanya tu. Dah la sunburn ni x hilang2 dr dulu. Klau petang lak..ohho..dont want. Mamat area ni sgt penyibuk. Suitt2 sana...suitt sini..so Kuno! 

Sabtu ni aku gi Labuan. Dah lama x gi Labuan. Nak borong coklat...pikir2 gak Kang makin2 la Big Momma aku jadi kang. Nak beli M&M's je la..*drool*..I love..............M&M's.

Plan for next week:..tgk wayang ngan Danial la. Pastu trus beli stationaries utk buka sem nnt. Knight and Day cambest je tgk. Pastu aku mesti tgk Shrek n Toy Story. i know~..i'm sooo...backdated. The movies has come out for days...n i haven't even watch any yet. I soo...hope n wish there was a 3D version cinema here in KK. I heard there was in Suria KK..dengar2 je la. Havent tried out for myself yet. we'll see next week.

Sambungan..Aku dan cuti ku~

Ok..sambung crite cuti sem aku. Masa tengah tunggu flight nak gi Penang..kitorang lepak2 la kat airport tu. Pastu masuk kat MAS office, sebab Papa nk urus apa ntah. Then tetiba...ada 4 orang yg menarik perhatian kitorang kat ofis tu. 2 orang yang cam gila brabes desak orang kaunter tu untuk tempah tiket. Siap cakap "Please..I need to get on that plane. Please do something!" 2 orang lagi tu sibuk dok usung kamera n pegang mikrofon. So kesimpulan aku, mungkin diorang ni peserta Amazing Race kot. Hati aku trus cam...Wahh..Coolnye~. Bila la aku leh masuk Amazing Race cam diorang ni?

Sebenarnya, dah lama aku bercita2 tinggi nak join gameshow tu. Dah la dapat merantau sana-sini..leh bungee-jumping etc. haha. Bungee-jumping is somehow in my Must-do list Before i Die. Nampak cambest je. Orang mungkin akan tgk aku ni cam lemah, sopan-santun, wanita-melayu-terakhir..bla3. Tapi aku pendam je sebenarnya. Tgh cari time2 yg sesuai n geng2 yang sekepala la sebenarnya ni. Neway, Back to my story. 

Tgh dok layan tgk gelagat diorang di kaunter tu, tetiba mat saleh sbelah aku cakap "I hate Cameras". Aku pun hape lagi..buka crite la ngan dia. Dia tanya, agak2 rancangan apa diorang ni. So aku cakap la..Amazing Race kot. Pastu dia terkejut! Aihh..dia tanya. Aku jawab la. Lagipun..dgn gelagat diorang yg asyik kejar sana-sini tu, kita leh agak yang diorg tu peserta Amazing Race. Yang bestnye..cameraman asyik rakam diorang dengan kitorg sebagai latar blakang. ahahaha. So, nanti klau korang tgk Amazing Race..n lokasi diorg kat Malaysia, alert2 la ye..klau ada awek cun dok sebelah mat saleh kat blakang2 kat MAS office..Aku la tu.

Stibanya di Penang International Airport, Pakcik ambik kitorg n trus balik. Slama kat Penang..xde la gi mana sangat. Ala..nak gi mana pon..smua tempat dh gi. So dok umah main buaian..main bola ngan Lokman..main beskal..main badminton. Eee..best sgt. Tgh hari kitorg makan2 kat pondok depan umah. Malam pekena nasi kandar. Perghh...Penang offers d best! Sambil2 tgk bola..pekena lg roti naan cheese n roti tisu. Huihh.. Terliur siott.

Ni dia Lokman dgn roti tisu dia yg paling besar pernag aku nmpk. Hanya di Penang.

dan ini aku punya roti naan cheese. Thumbs Up!

Cuma 1 je x sempat pekena..Laksa Janggus. Laksa ni memang famous kat Balik Pulau. Klau x silap..pernah masuk Jalan2 Cari Makan. Laksa dia memang kaw2 punya. For laksa non-lovers...too bad for u.

Masa hntr Danial kat Seberang, pekena nasi kandar kat Khaleel Nasi Kandar..pun sedap gakk. n kat situ jugak la aku rasa Murtabak Maggi..bukan saje aku x pernah makan sbelum ni..dengar pun tak pernah. So tu la 1st time. 

Haa..ni la rupa Murtabak Maggi tu. Rasa dia...maggi la. ada la rasa kulit murtabak dia sket.

Esok lusanya..aku, Papa n Tasya gi Queensbay Mall. xde la shopping apa. Masuk2 kedai Nike, Adidas n Al-Ikhsan je. Tasya nak cari kasut. Aku cuci mata je la. 

Aku dan Cuti Sem ku

Cepatlah bola start..aku dh ngantuk giler dh nie. Tp Brazil punye pasal..aku sanggup...aku sanggup.. Tinggal sejam je pun. So sambil2 tu..aku topup la isi kandungan blog aku yg ntah hape2 nih.

Sbenarnye, aku br je balik KK smalam. 2 minggu aku spend cuti sem kat kampung. tu pun rasa cam x cukup. Byk tempat x sempat cover. Mula2 spend cuti kat KL..sminggu. Tp dlm sminggu tu gak, 3 hari masa dicuri. sebab apa? Sebab gi jalan2 kat 

Kuala Terengganu. Dah lama tak Cuti2 Malaysia.

Ni la nasi tomato MAS. Served masa balik KL. Balik2 ni je makanan. Klau x nasi tomato, nasi kosong ngan lauk ikan..kekadang nasi kosong ngan daging.

Tapi, sorry for u la ye Danial, sebab x dapat ikut. Tu la, sape suruh ada final exam? ahaha. Malang tak berbau. Tapi tak gi mana sangat pun. Gi Taman Tamadun Islam and shopping kropok lekor and kain batik je. Next time baru nak cover pulau2 lak. Teringin betul aku nak berenang ngan penyu. btw, aku ada confession nk buat. skang aku dh BEBAS  dari pengaruh kesedapan telur penyu. Aku dah x makan telur penyu OK? OK la..aku trus terang, sebelum ni aku makan gak la telur penyu. (Aku rasa sangat bersalah skng nie). Tapi tak slalu la. Ye la, mana nak cari kat KK ni pun? Klau balik KL pun mana nk cari? Paling2 pun, klau aku gi Labuan la. Tu pun kekadang je ada. Yang penting, aku pernah makan, malah pernah suka. Tapi skang..aku dah tanam azam untuk tidak lagi makan telur penyu. Peduli la orang cakap sedap ke hape.

Aku support WWF!! Protect the Turtles!!

Sebab apa aku tak makan telur penyu lagi? La~..sebab dia kan spesis terancam. Klau la dah takde penyu kat dunia ni lagi..sedihnye tue! Biarlah diorang hidup. Kan ke comel penyu2 tu?

Aku ungkit crite nie sebab masa aku gi ntah-hape-nama-kedai-dia-tu-ntah kat Terengganu hr tu..ada peniaga tu offer telur penyu. Pastu tetiba je aku rasa bersalah. Mungkin tu tanda hidayah kot. ahaha.

Pastu gi Taman Tamadun Islam. Kawasan dia tak la sebesar mana. Jarak masjid2 contoh kat sana smua dalam walking distance. Tapi kalau dah pemalas tu..pemalas la jugak. Instead of walking, kitorang sewa basikal. Papa sewa satu basikal, pastu aku ngan tasya sewa basikal utk 2 org punye tu. Mama naik buggy ngan Maktok ngan Wan. Pemalas2 aku..aku naik basikal OK? exercise gak tue. Plak tu..susah lak nak handle basikal kembar tu. Mula2 aku dok depan..pastu aku give up..sbab tak smpai pun 10 meter aku kayuh. Buang masa kat situ je dok cuba stabilize basikal tu. Pastu aku switch place ngan Tasya. Aku lak dok blakang. Pun begitu gak! Tasya xleh control. Last2 Papa cuba. Berjaya! So Tasya kayuh beskal Papa..n Papa n aku naik basikal kembar. Then stop kat Masjid pertama n gambar2. Naik lagi beskal..n kayuh ke next stop. Stiap kali stop, aku n Tasya tukar naik beskal. Punye la best perasaan time tu. Dah lama tak naik beskal. Sekali naik beskal..rasa cam nak kayuh basikal tu balik hotel je. Tak kisah la brape jauh skali pun.

Ni la basikal kembar aku cakap tu.

Tengok! Senang je Papa drift beskal tu. Aku nk stabilizekan pun jenuh!

Esoknya.kitorg pekena kropok lekor. Perghh~ lama giler tak rasa kropok lekor sebenar2nya. Yang slalu dok makan..tepung je lebih. Skang dapat rasa ikan kaw2 punya. Mama Papa apa lgi? Borong kropok lekor la.

Balik je dr Terengganu..kitorang dok umah kat KL la. Then esoknya gi

jalan TAR..shopping2 sket. Pastu keajaiban berlaku. Taklah semagik mana..tp aku terserempak ngan Dyeija kat Sogo. Tgh dok jalan2 nie..tetiba je dia muncul depn mata aku. Aku pun terkezut la! Berpikir jap aku..aku ni kat Sabah ke KL? Ye la~..sebesar2 Sabah..kat KL gak aku jumpa dia. Dyeija ni clazmate merangkap bestpren aku time2 skolah dulu. Dah terjumpa tu, barulah aku tau dia skang keje kat Johor. Klau x..mati2 la aku ingat dia kat KK lg.

Then malam tu, aku, Tasya n Papa gi Downtown Cheras. Ada lak sorang mamat jatuh longkang. Punya sandi! Budak muda..lelaki! Jatuh siot air muka. Hilang macho n kehenseman. Plak tu, kaki tersangkut kat jeriji besi. Dah satu hal lak nk kena tarik kaki dia baik2.

Aku paling lemah la klau jalan kat downtown ni. Mata aktif betul tgk itu ini. Especially klau lalu kat gerai jam n t-shirt. Smua nak. Tapi aku juga ada tabiat yg tak suka membazir. Biarpun bukan aku yang kluarkan duit..tapi duit orang pun aku rasa cam duit aku sendiri. So aku hanya beli barang yang perlu je. 

So last2 aku beli jam tgn n t-shirt 2 helai. Cukuplah kot.

Hari Sabtunya..aku chow gi Penang lak. 

Finally...after 11 days of the PROGRAM INTEGRASI NASIONAL PERTUKARAN BUDAYA 1 MALAYSIA UiTM

it has finally come to an end. The ending part was verry sad. Especially having to say goodbye to the UiTM Sarawaks'. 

UiTM Sabah n UiTM Sarawak has been working verry hard to make this program a success. n i'm glad to say...IT DID!

The earlier start of d programme was Damn hard. They demanded too much. Hello??? Remember why u're here??? U're here to participate in a programme. Not on holiday! U know what they asked for?

• Heater for shower (Again..this is a hostel..not a HOTEL)
• Mineral water (They complaint on the water cooler giving them sore throat. Hello?? It's called water cooler..of coz they're not healthy. How come we can survive for 3 years..n u cant even stand for 3 days???)
• Transport to go to the city (How can they not understand?? We're in a programme here..so stick to it! n yet they want to go sightseeing?? Relax..we've provided all that. Just hv to wait for d day!)
• Karaoke set (Haishh...i'm getting tired typing all d complaints already. How can they ask for a karaoke set?? Our programme starts at 8am everyday..n ends at 11pm. When's d karaoke gonna take place?? U cant sing at night n disturb d others asleep.-_-')

Good thing we're invulnerable with complaints.

Day 2 was OPKIM. I get to go Kg Baru Kimanis in Papar. Half d others were to Kg Gayang in Tuaran. The moment we arrived at d kampung..we were greeted by the kampung people with kompang. It was cool..i felt so special. haha. Then d moment of rendition to the adopted family. I got Mak n Kak Miedah. Along with me were Myra (UiTM Sabah), Abg Shah (UiTM Pahang), Amiey (UTM) n Fifa (UMS). Good thing Mak's house was at a walking distance. Here's our family picture.

That night Kak Miedah brought me, Myra, Fifa n Amiey to Pekan Papar. Mak n Abg Shah went d mosque for ceramah. Dont ask why i went to Papar instead of d mosque. I'll shoot u!

Day 3 was Sukaneka. a lil havocacy. The kampung was supoosed to prepare d sukaneka. but they didnt. dunno d cause. So in d end..WE had to run d sukaneka by ourselves. Good thing there were balloons. so we played Pijak Belon, Semakin Jauh Semakin Sayang, Kaki n Tunang-Kahwin-Cerai. n Man i tell u..d weather was freakin' hot. That nite was Malam Kebudayaan.  Whereby each UiTM campuses made a performance. Mainly in dance.

Day 4 was our last day in Papar. that morning was gotong-royong. Not many came. What'd u expect?? Gotong-royong..who would ever come?

at 2pm..was d closing of OPKIM. Mak was like.."Don't cry..dont cry.."..n we tried to not. but we did. Mak gave us each a towel, kerabu kelapa (forgot d real name), ikan keropok n homemade ikan masin. it was truly a sad event. It was fun in kampung n 3 days wasnt enough. 

Day 5. we had Pesta Sukan Rakyat. Some of d games were baling tin, rampanau, lastik, terompah gergasi, pancing botol, etc. n again...it was freaking HOT! Even my sunburn from OPKIM haven't cooled off yet..n now i'm adding more sunburn!! Here's proof of my sunburn. i even have a 3-layer sunburn!

at 1pm..we went to Linangkit Cultural Village. It was actually smaller than i expected. Plus..we had to walk about 1km into d kampung until we reached the place. With d sun burning above our head..people were nagging bla3..Why this..why that?? Urghhh~

Here, for the 1st time ever since living in Sabah..i ate pisang rebus, kompos n rojak-in-banana leaf. 

 That night..we had a day off. Phew~. Finally, relaxtion. 

Day 6. We had Kembara Budaya in d morning. I was responsible for Checkpoint: Q4. It was  questionnaire checkpoint. Along with me were Bella n Shishee. Our questions were:

• What's d full name of UiTM's Vice Cansellor?
• Who is the Project Manager of PIN Pertukaran Budaya 1 Malaysia UiTM
• Name 5 urusetia from UiTM Sabah
• Name 5 urusetia from UiTM Sarawak

After the Kembara Budaya..they were given d chance to go to KK. I soo...hope they're happy. as for us urusetias' ..time for a Sleeping Beauty.

That night we had a sport night. Among the games we organized were futsal, badminton, volleyball n petanque.

Guess who won futsal?? *koff*

The Urusetia team!! Us la for sure.

Day 7. Outing to Kundasang! We went to Taman Negara Kinabalu n Poring Hotspring. Finally, i get to go up the Canopy Walk!! Good thing it costs only RM3 for entrance n an extra charge of RM5 for cameras. 

Day 8. Some of us went to do the mural n some went to the gym to prepare the stage for tomorrow's nite of Malam Simbolik.. The other participants were given rest for d morning. Where else  Kak Sue, Kak Eton, Zariey n I went to find the cenderahati for the Menteri. This is what we finally bought.

Not d one in red..OK? Zariey just felt that someone needs to be taken picture with d souvenir. so he volunteered.

in d night, there was the Malam Simbolik rehearsal. Good thing all went well.

Day 9.Trip to the Museum n Galeri Yayasan Sabah. I chose not to go. I mean c'mon la..i've been t d muzium tons of times. I just missed going to the revolving restaurant in Yayasan Sabah. But i can go there anytime. So i chose to stay n prepare the Gym for the big nite tonight: Malam Simbolik.

7pm was supposed to be d arrival of participants, officials n guests..n yet not many arrived on time. wht with the VIP otw..it panicked me. 7.30pm, the VIP arrived..n not all participants has arrived.  Lucky for us..we were all ready once the VIP entered the hall. It was a blast that night. Unfortunately,  I didnt dance for this year's Pertukaran Budaya. This year i played the Gamelan. 

Day 10. It was Pesta Kaamatan n the others went to the Kadazan Dusun Cultural Association Centre to get a glimpse of experience of the celebration here in Sabah. Again..i stayed in campus helping Miedah with the Malam Busana Rias & Tradisi. I didn't mind actually..it was fun arranging the stage to a modelling catwalk theme. 

When the night came..it was another blast. Each contingent from different UiTM campuses presented their cultural costumes. I can't really say if i have a favourite..cuz there are severals which i like. But i guess..Shawal's hair will always be my favourite. hahaha.

Right after the event..they had a lil karaoke session. Man, i hope 'they're' happy.

Day 11. First We Belong Together. Any idea what it is? I'm not quite sure who gave the title.. but it felt belonging. It was a closing event actually. Here's where we all say Goodbye. The 1st to leave was UiTM Perak..huhu. The best thing was..our Pertukaran Budaya shirt was finally ready on time. It was supposed to be ready before the Program, but there was a technical problem. At least we didnt have to post the shirts to each campuses. Saves costs already. The saddest part of all...was saying another Goodbye to Kuntum. This tym i really felt hard. The last time was when i studied in UiTM Swk..n now's another goodbye. iskh..iskh..iskh.. I soo...hope to see her again nx time.

That goes to all members of UiTM Sarawak as well..they're the coolest lots. The other participants of this Program is also the coolest. They're a sport! Thumbs up to all involved in the program. Till then... let the memories be well kept for now n forever.

PROGRAM INTEGRASI NASIONAL PERTUKARAN BUDAYA

ROCKS!
