[E] i want more.. MORE! a-ha-ha-HA

(the image is blur tho.. thanks to my handphone camera)

i got this maroon kurung fabric @ Tewah last 2days. but when i look at it several times, aiyoh~ it looks like a curtain! ah lantakla~ so i bought it, cut it, sent it for ‘jahit tepi’, then sew it! tadaaa~, it is completely sewn and i am satisfied with my work. of course, there are ’senget’ here and there but who cares.. i am the one who’s wearing it anyway.

i drool over kurung fabrics nowadays.. but instead of choosing any fabric because of its design and colors, i will choose fabrics that can be easily sewn and comfortable to wear. pantang tgk kedai kain, mesti rase nk masuk singgah jap. it was like something inside me yelling “i want more.. MORE baju kurung! ahahaha~”

i’ve been thinking.. maybe when i am expert in making these, i might consider to quit my job and focus on this business.. but for time being, this job would be my side income.. huhu~

i am learning new things.. and so do others. i read my friends’ blog and some of them are going through new life and they are adapting to it. one of them has started to learn to cook and happy with her cookings.. I am happy for her~  as for me, i am preparing myself to enter that ‘life’.. huhu

[W] Rainlendar: free desktop calendar terbaik!

application Rainlendar ni bole la dikatakan desktop widget utk kegunaan user yg tiap2 hari mengadap komputer. mungkin ramai yg lekatkan note sticker (or whatever u call it lah) kat keliling monitor, hehe.. x ke menyesakkan mata namenye tu~? drpd kite membazir kertas yg belum tentu akan direcycle, kan baik kalau kite ‘tampal’ terus note tu kat desktop windows/linux..

dgn Rainlendar ni, ade 2 perkara utama yg kita bole buat:

1. TO-DO LIST: kite bole listkan task yg kite kene buat, cth: esok siapkan report utk bos!
2. EVENTS LIST: listkan upcoming event, cth: birthday member2, anniversary, cuti sekolah, etc.

the looks & feels is highly customizable. user boleh download skin dari website die, change text font & color. position calendar & list window pun user yg tentukan, just drag to desired location on ur desktop. transparency pun bole adjust. byk lg features lain yg bole kite dapat drpd widget yg bersaiz kecil & not resource hungry ni.

try it! u can download latest version of rainlendar here.

[W] August: A month for my belalang tempur

sekadar gambar hiasan (heh, adik2 aku..)

gaji bulan ni byk gak yg aku spend utk repair & servis moto yamaha SS2 yg dh dekat 6 tahun berjasa. sebenarnye dh dekat 5 bulan aku x servis moto ni.. malas je rase nk anto pegi bengkel. tp 2 minggu lps, terpaksa gak bw pegi kedai moto biase (pdhal dh lame cadang nk servis kat pusat servis yamaha b.b.bangi, dekat ngan rumah makcik aku).

2 minggu lps mase aku ondeway blk dari opis, lps je naik bukit kat KTM serdang tu tetibe.. POM!! sekali tiub tayo blkg pecah daa.. nasib baik la kedai moto dlm 200+ meter je kat depan tu.. so xde la bengkok rim ori tu walaupun aku bw 20-30km/h sebab dekat je. so, alang2 dh sampai kedai tu, aku srh la pomen tu servis skali. 1 jam la gak aku tunggu kat situ (nsb baik ade kerusi) tgk die baraikan moto aku, bukak cylinder & air shroud & ape lg ntah, tukar minyak itam, cuci2 & ganti ape yg patut..

walaupun dh servis, tp sebenarnye ade 2 lg problem kat moto aku ni yg dah lame aku biarkan:

1. slalu je semput kalo bw 60-80km/h. kjp2 rs mcm tersengguk2 (aku rs aku tau ape yg rosak sbb pernah jadi dulu time study kat utm skudai)
2. bateri 1 minggu dah kong.. (pun aku rs aku tau ape yg rosak)

search2 kat google, jmp forum ni.. ramai jugak rupenye yg ade problem mcm aku ni. so minggu lps dgn konfidennye pegi kedai moto lg skali srh pomen ganti terus genuine CDI & rectifier, 2-2 komponen elektronik. lps tu moto aku pun bertambah sihat (walaupun ade la 2-3 bende yg aku still rs xpuas ati).

future plan nk ganti tubeless tyre & sport rims plak kalo ade $ lebih . bukan nk menunjuk.. tp utk reliability. konfiden sket tetiap ari nk pegi-balik keje. alhamdulillah xpenah lg bocor kat tmpt yg xde kedai moto, tp kang kalo bocor tgh2 besraya tu, jauh tu nk menolak!!!

[E] This Coming Ramadhan

happy Ramadhan

5 days more till Ramadhan~ Selamat Menjalani Ibadah Puasa to all Muslims readers! and before we celebrate the fasting month, I would like to apologize to everybody if I have done any wrong doings to you all by any means, if my words written here hurt your feelings.. and for all bad things i’ve said and done.

everybody knows that the petrol price is decreased to RM2.55 per liter last 2days. i should be thankful (i am~) but i still hope that it can go lower. if the petrol price decrease, the bus fare would not rise! hooray~ i better get my bus ticket now or else, i might end up celebrate Raya alone going back for Raya by car is not my first option, coz i couldn’t stand the heat and traffic jam on the highway. btw, i don’t want to drive alone. haih, bile la bole balik raya berdua ekkkk~ huhu

Win and I haven’t go shopping for Raya clothes.. yet. we would choose to wear clothes with the same color theme for hari Raya (of the previous years).. so dat nmpk sedondon laaa konon.. but sadly, we never celebrate Raya together. the distance between Perak and Johor (+- 590 km) would make it impossible for us to travel and visit each other’s family in one day. we would take pictures of ourselves in our Raya clothes and send MMS to each other on Raya morning. huuu~

p/s: let’s go shopping for Raya~

[E] Blogs that I read

Below are the blogs that i found interesting. the contents are not only about themselves, but some of them are inspiring and very informative.

The boy who knew too much

This is the true story of scientific child prodigy, and former baby genius, Ainan Celeste Cawley, written by his father. It is the true story, too, of his gifted brothers and of all the Cawley family. I write also of child prodigy and genius in general: what it is, and how it is so often neglected in the modern world. As a society, we so often fail those we should most hope to see succeed: our gifted children and the gifted adults they become.

Nadlique’s Blog

This blog is about the journey of a 21-year-old Malaysian towards financial freedom. Materials such as investing, business, equities, and derivatives are presented. The author also posts his daily thoughts and observations.

Off the Record

This blog is written by the 8TV CEO, Ahmad Izham Omar. I’ve read all the entries.. and my favorite one is The Ping Pong Showdown. it is hilarious~

actually, the main reason I keep on reading these blogs are because of their unique way of writing . my English command is so far behind compared to them.. huhu.

btw, I suggest all of you to have a look at these blogs. happy blog jumping~

[E] Biar mati anak, Jangan mati adat

melayu.. memang beradat. kalo ikot pepatah kat ats tu, sanggup ‘bunuh anak’ sebab nk ikot adat.. pehh~ adat Melayu jugak yg buat pasangan yg ingin berkahwin (macam kami), susah sket nk kawen sebab:

• kenduri kawen org melayu kene jemput semua sedara mara, kawan2 dan jiran2. kalo tinggal di kampung, kene jemput penduduk kampung sebelah jugak. mau cecah 1000 tetamu tuh. ramai tuu nk jamu makan.. kalo tak jemput kang, org yg xdijemput tu akan ungkit.. “cehh, kawen tak ajak!” mungkin jugak, die akan kutuk kite smp mati..
• kenduri kawen org melayu, kene meriah2, ade kompang, pelamin, karaoke.. kalo tak meriah kang, org akan tertanye2.. “mandom je kenduri ni..?” pastu mcm2 la spekulasi yg akan timbul..

nak kawen kene ready byk duit. skrg belanje kawen dah tinggi, sebab kos katering pon dah naik. tapi org muda2 cam kami ni mane de duit byk.. baru je keje setahun, bape sgtla saving yg ade kan..? nk tunggu duit cukup, kenela kawen lmbt.. tp org tue asyik tanye “bile nk kawen?” haih~ kalo ikot syarat kawen dlm Islam, simple je.. akad nikah pastu wat kenduri ala kadar.. haa, kan senang! tp Mak aku ckp, kalo wat camtu, nnt kene kutuk smp mati sebab kawen camtu.. huuu.

nak je rasenye wat personal loan kat bank.. dpt duit pastu kawen meriah2. haha, tp lepas kawen tunggang terbalik laaa nk byr blk loan tu kan~ isk2. tp kalo dah tade sape nk bg pinjam duit, kenela pinjam kat bank ye tak? xkan nk pinjam kat AhLong plak?

haih adat Melayu..

[E] Silver is better than nothing

i watched Chong Wei VS Lin Dan last night. it was a quick game, maybe because Chong Wei’s wasn’t playing like he used to. but i am proud of him for contributing a silver medal in the Olympic, it is better than nothing. CONGRATZ Chong Wei~

i must admit that Lin Dan is a very determined player and a very good one.. oh~ and he is cute too! it was fun watching him at the end of the game when he ‘gave away’ his racket and shoes to the spectators.
