Perception is Deceiving

Selamat Hari Raya

I will be leaving my hostel and college for two weeks… and will be at home preparing  for raya… and get myself ready with clothes and so on…

As what I always said to Cyril, raya means nothing to me… It doesn’t feel the same when you’re much older…. Raya means a lot while you’re still a kid… when you receives money or angpow from parents, grandparents and others… Playing fireworks and enjoying the raya night with friends and family…

But now, for me, raya means nothing, but to relax myself…. and meeting old friends…. and even meeting back all cousins and relatives…. Besides, the needs on going back to kampong… That’s all for me during raya… No fun… no angpow… and no everything….

Even now, I don’t feel it the spirits of raya coming soon… I just want to go home… and relax… I guess, this year raya will be the dim raya I’ve ever experienced…. To be honest, this raya… I planned no new baju kurung for myself…. I need to be save… as far as you know, I’m now a Segi-an…. and it’s quite pricey living in the hostel… where you need to buy everything… So, I decided not to have any new baju kurung this year… Even Cyril too…

Other than that, I might not going to my dad’s village this year… Why? loads of reasons to be explained here… but overall, I think, I will be celebrating my raya there alone… So, I don’t want to be alone… it’s better for me to skip my dad’s village rather than celebrating my raya alone… :P

My college will be having a long holiday for this raya… and I guess, I’ll be spending my whole holiday in hostel… I just don’t feel it to be at home… :)

But afterall, I would like to wish everyone, especially to my Muslim readers… SELAMAT HARI RAYA!!!!

Throughout my whole posts, if I hurts you or what… I would like to ask forgiveness from you all…. I never meant to hurt you guys by all my posts….

SELAMAT HARI RAYA

&

MAAF ZAHIR & BATIN!

p/s my house will always open… but if you’re looking for me, I’ll be at my parents’ during the first and the second day of raya… All invited… So, do COME!! :P

Hairish 1-year old birthday

Birthday Cake

Last night was great!!! very damn great!!! why? My nephew’s birthday… He turned to 1-year old last night… And it was the awesome night I’ve ever had…. Surrounded by sisters and brother-in-law ( one of my brother in law is still in KL).. with nephew and niece sitting on my right and left… I am very proud to have them… Love them so much!!!


Nephew, Hairish


Invited by my second eldest sister, we went to the Topspot centre to celebrate Hairish… My dad was the happiest amongst all… He loves to see his granddaughter and grandson with him… me? I was surely is… Never lost my attentions to both of them… While eating too, I will make sure to play around with them…

Cake


Aiesya or I call her Echah was very funny last night… this niece never wants to be with other people except her mum and dad… but thank God, she wants to be with me last night… until it was time to go home… I love it when she did something like this… She ran forward, and when I called her, and opened out my arms, she ran back towards me and hug me tight… urgh!!!! Love her so much!!! can’t stopped kissing her lovely cheek last night… It maybe once in a blue moon she acted like that… as what I said, she never wants to be closed with other else but her own mum and dad… but last night, she wants me… Even my sisters said, I was quite lucky she wants to be with me…. Even her grandfather (my dad) wanted to bring her, she rejected… but she wants to remain with me…kekekekeke and when I wanted to take photos with her, at first, she looked neglecting…. but when the first and second shots passed, she did the best and cutest post with me after that… and she likes it to take photos with me… how cute that Echah!!!

Me and Aiesya

Another one is cute!!! and love him so much!!! Hairish, birthday boy whom turned 1-year old last night… He just can’t stopped moving around and eating the cake… My third sister got bitten on her finger while taking the pieces of cake into Hairish’s mouth… and he will cried out when my sister stopped doing so… he likes to eat and eat… And he just loves to be on the floor even though he does not know how to walk yet… and he is very heavy!!! When he really wants to be on the floor, he will kick whoever brings him during that… and I was the victim that I finally puts him down to the kidschair…kekekekekeke This nephew loves to take photos and he loves to make us laugh… When his mum said, “polah muka jaik lok”… he started doing his“jaik face” to us... I never had the chance to take photos with him… he will go away when I bring the camera next to him… what a Hairish!!!! :D My dad said, Hairish is my son with Cyril (dad said Hairish looks a bit like Cyril) while Echah is my daughter with other people (not really Cyril in Echah)..muahahahahaahhahahaha Silly...

Messy Hairish face

I was and still happy until now… Looking back at their photos, and I will laugh… Missing them… Just fun to have them around… My eldest sister is now pregnant… will give birth in August!!! yes, the third one coming out so soon and I can’t wait to have another niece/nephew… Echah & Aish are wonderful!!! hope my sisters will bring them here again…. I just can’t stop laughing looking at their face… they’re cute… and hugable… Love them so much!!!!!!!!! So lucky to have them….

CSL handphone

I’m not sure why, but from what I heard, CSL seems good to have… So, I wanted to look and survey the phones today at Wisma Saberkas… They have it the touch-screen phone or maybe the PDA… I’m not sure… I need to go there to see and touch the phones… and well, maybe then decide to buy or not…kekekeke

I love using PDA or touch-screen phones so much… not sure why… Ever happened in the class, one of my classmates was using PDA, and another friend asked, whether he was easy or not using it… She thought using PDA phone while messaging was hard… But it’s really easy… Easy to hide it too…

 

cect-vertu-ripoff3

 

My friend, used to sms-ing in the class… He put his school bag on the table, and put his handphone next to it… so, when he  sms-es, no ones knew it… The teachers too will think that he was writing something… or maybe doing his works… but we knew it… He was sms-ing… kekekeke So, I wanted to see those phones… and maybe change mine… Wanted to change for something new…. :D

Oh yeah, I know, my cousins read my blog… especially the Bruneians… All I could say, ku nda jadi ka Brunei… Ba that day ku kata ku ka Brunei kaliaa… Tapi kaliaa sija tu… So, nda confirm… now ku confirm-kan suda… Ku nda jadi ba ka sana 1st June ani… Aral melintang… Sorry ya….

okay, okay… I planned on going to Brunei this 1st June, but not comfirm yet… I asked my dad and he gave me his permission to go… and I even have asked someone to check for the return tickets… but after a few conversations and after looking back at the past, I’ve decided not to go to Brunei…. Even tho I have texted my cousin about my coming… so,last night, I’ve texted him again about the canceling planned…

Seriously, I am about to go… wanted to go to see my relatives there… Even tho I know some of them are busy, and some might be not there in Brunei… Some in Cardiff, Singapore and even some too in Malaysia… On my coming, we here might be on holiday, but their place? No,they’re not on holiday…. so, it’s kind of troublesome to go there…. I don’t want them to take their holiday just for me…

so, finally I’ve decided not to go… And wish to enjoy my holiday in Kuching… Even though this month I’ll be leaves and leaves by people…. I hope I can enjoy myself during this holidays…. and days coming ahead…. My brother will be home from UM this Friday… and I’m sure, it’s hard for me to update my blog…. When I woke up, I am sure, he will be the first person doing on-line… until midnight… so, after this 29th, my blog will be rarely updated… He will to conquer all the laptops and TVs… huhuhuh *sighing* How I want to enjoy my holiday…. I just wish…. em… don’t know…

To cousins and relatives @ Brunei, I am sorry… i could’nt make it to go… Nda pa2 kan? tani tmu sija kapan2 kmu ka Kuching… Salam sma suma… :)

Back in the Kitchen

Truly awesome!!! Why? for the past FEW MONTHS I used to have dinner or even breakfast and lunch outside… No more eating at house… Why? No time to cook and just love to eat outside… Went to The Chicken Rice shop at tHe Spring, Singapore Chicken rice, Ket’s Kitchen and KFC at the Matang Jaya, also some other few places… Love it so much to eat outside rather than eating at home….

cartoon_cutting_onions

So today, I just managed myself to stay at home after lunch… I took my lunch at Batu Tiga, ate Laksa Sarawak to fulfill my craves… But then, I could not finish the laksa as it was too big for me…. Its’ too many and I just can’t finish it… :D Went back home and addicted to Restaurant City in Facebook… I just can’t help myself to stop playing it… I could say, I too thinking about my restaurant even I was eating… I worried of them and worried my restaurant gone bankrupt… :D

Few hours playing, it was time I realized I should stop for a while… and that,I decided to take over the kitchen from my maid and my mum… I felt so honored being allowed to cook even though I was not ever cooked before this… My last time cooking for family dinner would be last year… I cooked for lunch too but it usually just for my youngest sister whom coming back from school on afternoon…

So, just now… I cooked… I cooked two dishes for my family… My maid has to cook one because I am not that good in cooking chicken curry… So, I made up decision to cook meat curry and vegetable… And what??? I am so satisfied after doing it…. I’m not sure why… but I just satisfied… Even my mum said my vegetable was delicious enough… except for the curry… The curry was too thick… but that’s not my fault… My dad said he wants the curry to be that thick and even said that he does not want to eat curry which is too fluid… so, I made it and just my mum complaint about the curry… But never mind… Its’ nice anyway… they finished it all… I am so honored!!!

If you ask, I will just say, I hate cooking, but when you’re that frequent in cooking, you will sure be so satisfied with what you’re cooking… and even you will be so satisfied with yourself… I controlled the kitchen and it was so fun enough… I cooked, and I felt like I was just forget all my problems… I concentrate on my cooking… Just cook… no other thing in mind… even how worst my problem… I  stopped thinking of it just now while I was cooking…. and lastly, I could  say, i am so much happy when people said my food is so delicious…

My sister might be jealous with me…. my youngest sister said my food was too salty… but my dad said to her that her tongue maybe in problem… Can’t taste well and that was why she said my food is too salty… LOL I can’t believe it… for almost five months I didn’t cook, i still managed to maintain my cooking style until now… and that, my food still delicous enough to serve family members… LOL

Having a troublesome day on birthday is bad… I know… It started very peacefully and turned sour-ly later then… I hate 9 May sometimes… But guess what, I enjoyed my day so much… I woke up late and spent whole day with my dearest ones…

We did nothing… Sitting at home and watching movies,sleeping…. I don’t mind doing that because I would love to say, I enjoyed it so much… I felt relaxed with tonnes of problems in mind… Evening came by, and we started to think where to have dinner… Jambu? The Junk? or Bla Bla Bla?  He was not sure on where to go after that… obviously on his face, he was thinking on the very nice place to bring me… Thanks!!! :)

Going to tHe Spring to buy some doughnuts from Big Apple and started to think back how the manager got angry with blogger whom came there to search for Minex Diamond? And smiling too much for the polite way of the cashier on treating us customers… With smiles and jokes he made…. :D

4237_1145179062200_1009202758_30421250_336202_n

First planned, going to The Junk, and forgot about the Wesak Day celebrated by the Buddhist…. Having fun all the way, and finally got stuck in the jamm near to the St. May secondary school… Turned other way round in order to get to the Junk Restaurant… again, trapped in the very worst jammed… broke the road rules by turning away and changed our way to the Jambu Restaurant… I was STARVING!!! been there once, this second time going, we were taught that not to use the entrance clearly seen on the road, but it’s better to use the other way entrance which can’t be seen when you’re on the main road… The one clearly seen is so much dangerous!!!!  LOL

Reached there and ordered everything…. It’s much different now… The waiters are much decent than before… And they are much polite too… I ordered my food as same as Cyril’s… I was starved and I thought of need some “extra” food”, so I ordered the “White Rajah NZ Sirloin” if I’m not mistaken… while waiting for food, cam-whore is the must… Jambu was a bit busy that night… With the laughs of people around us, I could felt a bit in Magenta there… Noisy… Even the couple behind our seat was talking badly… The girl talked non-stop and the guy listened… Her voice maybe soft but high for us… We could even hear what they were talking…. :D


4237_1145175822119_1009202758_30421231_6451121_n

My drink? Since that I stopped from taking  liquors, I ordered apple juice for my drink while Cyril took “Whiskey Coke” as his drink… I tried his drink a little and it was nice… Sayang nya I dah stop... kekekeke our food came by, and tasted delicious…. Food presentation is good compared to 5 star hotel we ever been to…Just that, I’m not into the “black paper” sauce… While eating those, I compared the food taste with the one tasted with teriyaki-sauce… A bit regret on ordering it with black paper sauce… I should maybe order it with some other sauce as in sweet and sour…. That would be nicer…. :D


4237_1145175022099_1009202758_30421211_5797044_n

Before leaving, going to the toilet is a must… While waiting for Cyril to settle down, I found Breeze Magazine Issue 15… And was hoping to see us on the magazine… But tett!!! No!!! Have to wait for another issue in order to see our face pasted in the magazine with each one holding a cup of whiskey… I was kind of drunk that time… And I remember, the photo was taken by Fahriee… But not sure, because Cyril said it was taken by Norman… Oh God, hard to remember… so,Fahrie or Norman? thanks for the picture!!! it’s nicely pasted in the magazine for one Borneo to read… :D

Yeah, to say I enjoyed my birth-day, I enjoyed it so much…. to say I hate when it comes to 9 May…hmmm Not really… But anyway, thanks to Cyril for all these… He managed to joy me on my birthday… Thanks for the dinner Hun!!! And thanks to my family and friends for the wishes…I didn’t get any present on this birthday, but I guess it’s alright… I’m too old for all those… I can’t believe I am 18 now….

My dad quoted this to me yesterday (10th May) ” There was a cute little girl turned into a beatiful lady yesterday”… LOL Thanks Dad!!! :D
