Day 14 and 15

Both days tidak merujuk kepada masa kesuburan seorang wanita untuk anda menerkam beliau kerana beliau tengah 'subur'

Tetapi merujuk kepada 30 Days Blogging Challenge yang aku buat dalam keadaan tersekat-sekat. Entry kali ni adalah entry untuk hari ke-14 dan hari ke-15.

Hari ke-14 : A TV Show That You're Currently Addicted To

Bagi aku - Gossip Girl

Kenapa ?

1. Pelakon perempuan yang cantik
2. Pelakon lelaki yang hensem
3. Banyak kes family-kawan-kekasih yang bodoh dan berputar belit

Sebab-sebab lain :

Kalo korang perasan, diorang ni cuma tukar-tukar pasangan dalam kumpulan tu jugak. Melainkan si Chuck and Serena yang go international with their sex life. Ehm, kalo ikutkan... Semua pun macam tu kan? Tapi, rasanya, dua orang ni la paling 'aktif'... Termasuk Nate.

And, fashion. Baju-baju diorang, and their style... Memang menarik. Kadang-kadang doesn't make sense (bagi aku yang buta fesyen) but... Nice.

And, aku tengok sebab cerita tu ringan. And aku suka macam mana dia potray lifestyle orang-orang kelas atasan ni, golongan Socialite di Upper East Side ... Masalah diorang, how they solve their problems and etc... Kadang-kadang nampak bodoh. And sometimes, I don't know.

The friendship values, family values... walaupun lifestyle orang-orang dalam GG macam bermasalah but... Interesting. Bagi aku la.

GG is my favourite show sebab ringan and interesting ^^

And pelakon-pelakon yang cantik and hensem wakakaka

I love House M.D too. Sebab ada Dr. Gregory House yang sangat sarcastic and sexy dalam ke'sarcastic'an nya hahahaha

Say "Hello" to this sexy Doctor

Day 15 : Something That Tou Don't Leave The House Without

Most people would say wallet la, IC (identity card) la, driving license la... All the usual stuff.

Tapi, aku rasa... ramai jugak yang agree, especially girls...

We can't leave the house without these two things :

Bra

Panties

Even if we really, really, really wanted to to because wearing bra, for me... Sangat menyeksakan. I hate that thing. as for panties.. Well, harus la pakai kan. Imagine kalo pakai seluar, tak pakai panties... eugghhh... Tambahan lagi kalau tengah meleleh-leleh darah. Mana nak tempek bendalah tu???

Ok, gross..

So, yeah... Bra n panties. Satu set lengkap termasuk pakaian lengkap yang menutupi dua bendalah ini.

Sapa la invent bra untuk perempuan?

And datang dengan pelbagai alasan and penemuan yang membuatkan perempuan harus memakai bra?

And why oh why God makes nipple kaler gelap?

Kalau kurang gelap, boleh la tak pakai bra.

And the things with nipple erection... cissss....

Okay, dah start mengarut. Cukup setakat ni.

Ni pun aku update cepat-cepat (kunun) sebelum berokband Maxis ni merajuk tak nak kasi line. Btw, how's your holiday? ^^

Day 13 : A Picture of Your Favorite Band or Artist

Selalu mintak 'a', 'a', 'a' ... Cuba la tak payah 'a' tu. Susah tau nak letak satu gambar. Mana cukup satu. Mesti nak banyak-banyak.

Favourite band aku of course Sigur Ros.

Sedikit sebanyak tentang Sigur Ros - A brief introduction about the band which I copied from their 'about' page :

"Sigur rós consists of jón þor (jónsi) birgisson (vocals, guitars), kjartan (kjarri) sveinsson (keyboards), orri páll dýrason (drums) and georg (goggi) holm (bass). the band were formed by jónsi, georg and original drummer ágúst in 1994. they were later joined by kjartan and when ægúst left the band after the recording of ágætis byrjun in order to pursue a career in graphic design, he was replaced by orri. sigur rós hail from iceland, and rightly claim to bring you the beautiful landscape of their homeland with their music."

Aku ada letak dua lagu dari band ni yang aku suka di sini. Aku kenal Sigur Ros melalui albun Takk. Yeah, I know...lambat jugak kenal but, from there aku cari lagi lagu-lagu lama dari album-album terdahulu.

Okay, okay... Kita jawab cabaran hari ni.

Gambar dari album Takk

Mencari mangsa... Jeng jeng jeng

Setelah membaham mangsa, mereka lari bogel-bogel

Yeah...! Sexy butt !!! Mesti bergoncang-goncang dan bergoyang-goyang masa lari.

Wakakaka...!!!

Well, the last photo adalah cover album atau dari album "Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust" yang bermaksud "With a buzz in our ears we play endlessly".

Album-album lain Sigur Ros anda boleh cekidaut (check it out) di kedai maya mereka.

Tapi aku tak jamin ada gambar butt bergoyang-goyang lagi di situ. Atau benda-benda lain yang bergoyang.

That's all for now.

Day 12 : Your Current Relationship

I'm in relationship. I'm seeing someone. I'm taken - but not fully.

This is a guy, I never thought would be someone I'll be in relationship with. Most of you, orang-orang yang membaca blog ni, know our story. Walaupun tak fully, but, well, you know.

This is my Mr J. J for Japan and guess what, J for his first name also ^^

No, he's not Japanese (I wish !!! hahaha~)

We're totally different from each other. Macam langit dengan bumi. I'm a dreamer. He's a realist. We argue a lot. About lot of things. About, nearly everything.

We were friend. And now, we're a couple. We try to keep things simple. We don't call each other with romantic names. We're brutally honest (at least I am - what about you, J?) with each other.

Sometimes, I demand more attention. While him, being a guy yang sangat realist pula, sometimes 'buta' dengan my demand. Dengan perangai dia macam tu dan aku macam ni, and the fact that we're far from each other, selalu ada misunderstanding.

But, well... sabar jak la hahahha

I trust him. And I believe him.

Kalau dia berolah (bahasa Melayu Sarawak - buat hal) di sana pun, I don't care. He's there, I'm here. As long as he's being honest about it, I'm okay. He's a guy. Apa pun boleh jadik, kan?

We don't spend that much time together as a couple. Obviously, because we're far from each other. Most of the time, I'm comfortable dengan situasi macam ni. I have my own space and I can do whatever I want.

But sometimes, I do wish he's near. Especially when I have problems etc. He's a very, very, very good listener. Not through emails tho hahahha~ selalu ada misunderstanding.

Well, apa-apa pun, I love him

Auuuuwwww ~ geli aku mengungkapkan kata-kata ini di sini hahahaha

Collage. Of him and the places where we spend time together with.

I like beach. I don't think he really like beach.

There's one time, we went there. Aku kata nak tengok sunset. He said,"ok". So we went. Dia tengah bercerita, and aku tengah perhatikan matahari nak terbenam The view was very, very, very beautiful. Suddenly he said :

"Eh, dari tadi ku klakar dengan pipi ko jak tok. Bila gik ko mok nangga muka aku?"

(Translation : eh, dari td aku asyik bercakap dengan pipi ko je, bila lagi ko nak pandang muka aku?)

What the heck.

So, aku pun tengok matahari, tengok muka dia, tengok matahari, tengok muka dia - sambil dia bercerita.

When it was time to go back, time tu matahari tak fully terbenam pun (he wanted to send me back sebelum gelap), kitorang balik jalan kaki je. My house not that far pun. Macam dari CG ke FM House (Gelugor) je jaraknya... Kitorang berjalan naik bukit (the area berbukit-bukit - tak la tinggi sangat).....

Tiba-tiba dia stop. Betul-betul tempat yang paling tinggi. Dia pandang ke arah laut and said :

"Wahhh... kacaknyanya...!!!"

(Translation : Wahhh... cantiknya...!!!)

I looked at what he was looking at (or, what I thought he was looking at), matahari dah nak fully terbenam, masa tu langit merah-merah... Very nice indeed. And I said :

"Kan? Ya la ku mok nangga tadik. Nang kacak"

(Translation : Kan? Itu yang aku nak tengok tadi. Memang cantik)

He was smiling. Aku pun ikut la tersenyum. Suddenly...

"Sik pernah ku nangga mesin ya malam-malam. Kacak oo.. Cuba ko nangga bla bla bla"

(Translation : Tak pernah aku tengok mesin ni malam-malam. Cuba ko tengok bla bla bla"

Mesin???!!!

I looked again. And looked at him. He was actually looking at benda lain daripada apa yang aku tengah tengok. He was still smiling. Aku level-level mata aku dengan mata dia. And then I saw it.

Yeah, sure... There are people doing dredging works nearby. Tengah menambak pantai and buat breakwater. The "cantik" thing he was referring to was this :

Yang pada waktu malamnya memang cantik sebab ada lampu-lampu seperti ini :

And I thought he was talking about the sunset. Cis.

Terus hilang mood aku time tu.

Tapi tak lama. He's a funny guy. Walaupun kadang-kadang lawak dia macam agak sarcastic, tapi tetap lawak. So, mood aku pulih dengan cepat. We had dinner and he send me home.

Bila teringat balik, it was funny - for me la. It shows how different we are from each other. Di tempat yang sama, dalam masa yang sama, kitorang melihat benda yang berlainan and intepret it as cantik. Cantik mengikut pemahaman kitorang sendiri.

Walaupun perbezaan ini sedikit sebanyak buat masalah, but for me, setakat ni, perbezaan itu juga makes him interesting. There's a lot about him yang aku masih perlu kenal. Lebih-lebih lagi, dia bukan jenis yang suka share what's on his mind... Which, most of the time, buat aku naik gila hahahaha.

Okay, okay. That's all for today. Nanti cerita panjang-panjang, jadi merampau (Iban languange - mintak tolong rakan-rakan anda translate, ok)

Day 11 : What's In Your Make Up Bag?

3 days. I still haven't finish my readings on Indonesian politic. Gila. Gila. Gila. Serious gila. There are terms, words that I don't have any idea what they mean. Dictionary? Yeah, ada bah ku check. Tapi, di saat-saat seperti ini, apa pun susah nak faham. Serious. Serious yang teramat sangat.

Oleh kerana itu, aku mengambil keputusan drastik untuk melaksanakan entry ini. Entry yang juga aku kurang senang nak blog. Sebabnya?

Aku kurang ber-make-up jadi... See for yourself la nanti k?

The title is, What's In Your Make-up Bag ???

First thing first, I don't own a make-up bag. An official make-up bag (is there such thing?). My things, aku sumbat dalam beg trial pack Simple. Senang dan Simple!

Okay. Now let see what I have.

Aku ada :

1. Silky Girl Liquid Foundation - Medium
2. Silky Girl Duo Eyeshadow - Copper Dust
3. Silky Girl Perfect Concealer - Medium
4. Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals BB Cream (gila panjang)
5. Maybelline Clear Smooth Silk Powder
6. Maybelline Eyeliner
7. Kanebo - Kate Lip gloss

Aku rasa, that's all la kot. Yang lain-lain tu, cuma barang-barang biasa. Barang harian untuk penjagaan kulit muka. I have sensitive skin. So, I use Simple skincare - Kind To Skin punya range.

Dalam gambar ada Kind To Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser. Benda yang hari-hari kena pakai. Hari-hari pun macam biasa la.

Wash

Toner

Moisturise

Untuk cuci aku guna Kind To Skin Facial Wash Gel. And toner lak, from the same range - Kind To Skin Soothing Facial Toner.

For me, Simple is the best product selepas St Ives tiba-tiba menukar packaging and secara tidak langsung, aku dapat rasa benda yang aku selalu pakai pun dah jadi agak harsh pada kulit. I tried other product, contohnya Follow Me (sucks) yang buat muka aku lebih kurang macam Frankenstein.

Dalam keadaan yang sedih, pilu dan kecewa, aku pergi ke farmasi. Untuk membeli Dalacin-T, my personal SK II...

Dalacin-T ni ubat or acne topical solution yang dah lama aku pakai. Sebelum ni, dia dalam botol kaca. Now, dalam botol plastik yang gendut-gendut seperti dalam gambar di bawah. It works well for me walaupun kadang-kadang membuatkan muka aku jadi sangat oily. But, dalam masa yang sama, berjaya membuatkan my acne semua bertempiaran lari.

Okay, sambung cerita.

Masa aku ke farmasi membeli Dalacin-T yang sememangnya hanya boleh didapati di farmasi mengikut nasihat pharmacist, paharmacist bertugas melihat wajahku dengan penuh minat dan, aku rasa tanda tanya.

Dia tanya kenapa boleh jadi macam tu.

Aku pun cerita la masalah dari mula sampai akhir.

And then dia bagi aku try Simple.

Menurut pharmacist tersebut, aku ada masalah kulit sensitif (selepas yang tersebut tadi membelek-belek wajah aku).

Dia bagi Simple Trial Pack yang comel. Dalam first week aku pakai dah boleh nampak the difference. Cuma, kalau tak cukup tido, tension, datang bendera Jepun... of course, jerawat-jerawat akan tumbuh dengan banyaknya.

Tapi, tak seteruk sebelum ni.

Okay, back to make-up hahahaaha...

Seriously, I don't know what to say about make-up cos I don't know how to put on make-up. These things that I have with me sebenarnya dibeli dalam keadaan tergesa-gesa. Untuk satu function yang aku rasa agak penting jugak la that time.

And that's the only time I used these stuff.

Except for the lip gloss. I love it.

Kesensitifan aku bukan hanya terletak pada hati dan kulit tetapi juga pada bibir.

I can't wear something yang ada wax - bad thing. Sebabnya, hampir semua lip balm, lip gloss and lipstick contained wax yang bertindak untuk membuatkan bibir anda glossy (kalau salah tolong betulkan).

Aku cuma boleh guna sejenis lip balm setakat ni - yang aku baca ingredient nya satu persatu dulu sebelum membeli. And also this Kanebo - Kate Lip Gloss. Sebenarnya, masa membeli, aku tak tau pun lip gloss ni ada wax atau tidak sebab ingredient dalam bahasa Jepun. Tapi, disebabkan tahap keyakinan aku tinggi mengatakan bahawa takda wax (sebab brand Jepun), aku pun beli and tray siiiikkkkiittttt dulu.

Kalau tak ngam, aku sedekah la kat sapa-sapa.

Nasib baik, TAK ADA WAX!

What will happen if I use product yang ada wax?

Well people, bibir aku akan membengkak and aku tak boleh rasa apa-apa. Pada bibir juga akan ada macam blisters kecik-kecik, bila aku lagakan bibir atas dengan bawah, akan pop! dan meninggalkan rasa sakit yang teramat sangat.

So, Kanebo - Kate Lip Gloss sangat, sangat, sangat berguna untuk aku!

I really, really, really love it.

As for my BB Cream, concealer, powder etc... I rarely use them. BB Cream tu, kalau aku rasa nak cover bekas-bekas jerawat, then only I'll use them. Tapi, sangat, sangat, sangat la jarang.

In my bag tu, ada juga sewing kit. Hahhhaa...takde tempat nak letak, so I just put it there. Ambik dari hotel lak tu kekekekekeke.... easy maaa... Kecik-kecik and nipis. Mudah nak dibawa ke mana saja.

Well, I guess that's all.

Sorry la this post mengecewakan hahahaha. Aku memang jenis tak berminat dengan make-up. Barang-barang yang aku ada pun, well, some of it, tak perlu ada cos yang satu lagi dah boleh buat dua kerja. But, hey...like I said, aku memang tak tau apa-apa.

But I'm trying to learn. It'll be very useful dalam bila ada dinner dan sebagainya. At least, I don't have to spend my money untuk mintak orang conteng muka aku. Aku nak belajar basic. Something simple and nude. Tak nak bagi nampak sangat muka tu ada make-up. Segan. Wakakakakakaka....

Owh, dalam gambar juga ada barang-barang Clinique.

1. Turnaround Instant Facial
2. City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25

Both I got for free masa ikut Clinique Workshop/Talk di USM few weeks back. I've tried the Turnaround Facial. Used it macam, once a week. Skin feels great after using it. As for the Face Protector (bunyik macam nak pergi welding something), I haven't tried it. Tunggu la, kalau ada welding job, aku pakai hahahahaha....

Okay, okay... Aku nak sambung study.

Day 10 : A Photo of Your Favorite Place To Eat

I dunno about you guys. But aku rasa, most people will list down fast food restaurant as their favourite place to eat. Well, aku pun memang minat makan-makan di fast food restaurant tapi, like Sarawakian akan kata... pandei lejuk juak makan tempat-tempat kedak ya.

Means, lama kelamaan, akan bosan makan di tempat-tempat seperti itu.

I prefer eating at kedai-kedai biasa. Hawker stall. Fast food restaurant.. sekali sekala boleh la.

But my MOST favourite place to eat will be at home.

Nothing, I repeat... NOTHING can beat home cooked meal. Seriously.

I'm suppose to put up a photo of kitchen rumah aku sebab dapur/ruang makan rumah aku adalah tempat paling best untuk makan hahha...Tapi memandangkan aku tak pernah ambik gambar dapur rumah, so, I'll just put up gambar kitchen aunty aku.

This was taken in 2008. Masa ni kitorg semua bergotong royong di dapur masa my grandpa passed away and gambar-gambar di bawah adalah taken by my cousin.

(L-R) Cousin Cacha, Aunty Julie, Cousin Puyang, Aunty Mujan

Tak ingat sapa. But girl on the right adalah anak angkat Aunty aku.

Cousin Rose

Tukang cleaner during that busy period.

(L-R) Cousin Winnie, entah anak sapa, Cousing Imelda

Dalam second photo, diorang tengah ready-ready nak masak 'tung ubi' (Kenyah), 'tung uvek' (Kayan). Aku tak tau dalam Bahasa Malaysia nya digelar apa, but it's daun ubi, tumbuk sampai halus dengan bawang putih or halia and goreng kering or basah (ala-ala soup). Biasanya, the tung ubi digoreng dengan err... pork meat.

But pada hari kejadian, tung ubi itu dimasak dua versi. One with pork, one without pork. Sebab there are few of us dalam family yang tak makan pork. Eg, my grandma, me and my cousins yang dah convert to Islam.

Kenapa aku suka makan di rumah?

First, ko boleh makan sepuas-puasnya.

Second, makan dengan family. Esp with my mum. I really, really, really love eating with her. Actually, makan di mana-mana pun, if it's with mum, I'm happy.

Third, makan di rumah means makan makanan yang di masak sendiri.

Fourth, kalau takde teman makan, boleh makan sambil membaca and makan dengan relax. I always do this last time, when mum was still working. Aku akan makan bertemankan comic books or some books.

Fifth, boleh makan sambil tengok tv, duduk mengangkang, kaki naik atas kerusi dan pelbagai lagi gaya-gaya yang tidak boleh dibuat kalau makan di kedai-kedai.

Sixth, like my sister said and always do, tengah-tengah makan, kalau rasa full, boleh pergi poop and then sambung makan balik hahahaha... She always do this sebab perut dia kecik and dia jenis tak kuat makan. Aku pulak selalu paksa dia makan banyak sikit sebab dia sangat kurus. So, she'll stop in between meal and pergi melawat Dr Tan (das) sebelum sambung makan semula.

Ok, that's it for today's challenge.

Sekarang cerita lain. Today, this evening, my friend bawa aku pergi ke kedai yang menjual Kolok Mee di Penang. Menurut dia, kedai tu adalah milik seorang peniaga dari Kuching and Kolok Mee beliau adalah original punya. Aku pulak memang mengidam, so... Okay je la.

Actually, dah lama dia bagitau aku akan kewujudan kedai ni. Cuma today baru berkesempatan pergi. Itu pun secara tiba-tiba. Kedainya terletak somehwere in Bayan Baru.

Suasana dalam kedai

Aku nak ambik gambar pengunjung. Tapi aunty and uncle tu macam tak suka gambar mereka di ambil.

So, aku snap dari bawah sket. Kunun nak ambik gambar bekas kicap yang DIY ini...

Menu di depan

Menu di belakang

Orang yang bertanggungjawab membawa aku ke tempat ini

- Solomon -

Mee Kolok beliau. Half of the meat adalah dari mangkuk aku.

Mee aku yang 'bersih' dari sebarang meat.

Cuma tinggal bawang goreng

Harga semangkuk Mee Kolok adalah RM 5.90. Sangat mahal berbanding harga di Sarawak. But, what the heck... Masa ni aku dah tak pedulik. Nak makan jugak sebab memang mengidam semenjak Solomon mention abut this kedai makan.

Tapi kan, God really, really, really take good care of me.

Masa nak bayar, Solomon said, tak payah bayar. Dia belanja.

Wahhhhh!!!! Hahahaha...dah la 3 layer tea (Sarawak style okay) aku pun agak mahal. Member tu pun cuma minum barli suam je hahaha.

Thank you Solomon ! Moga dimurahkan rezeki !

Kedai dia tak besar pun. Kecik je. Tapi masa aku n Solomon makan kat situ, tak putus-putus orang datang. Bila dia siap kemas table je, ada orang masuk n duduk. And makan. Makanan pun sebenarnya tak banyak choice.

But, that's okay. Maybe dia nak concentrate on the quality of the food, bukan quantity.

One of my friend, si Melod, tanya, ada kueh chap tak? Aku tengok-tengok menu, tadak. Dia suh bagi suggestion pada tokey tersebut untuk buat kueh chap hahaha.

Melod, ya menu di atas sia. Ko nangga la hahaha. Menu sikiiiittt jak ^^

Ok la. Aku stop di sini hari ni.

Oh, kejap, kejap... aku nak share satu documentary. Please watch if you have time. Thank you.

Day 9 : A Photo Of The Item You Last Purchased

'Item' can be anything, right?

Here's a photo of the item I last purchased.

Yeah... Nothing interesting.

I can't start a day without coffee. Or live a day without it. I have to have at least 1 cup a day. And maximum to 10 cups per day... or more.

Aku beli di Majujaya Sungai Dua. That's the only shop yang open that night. And not many choice untuk 3 in 1 coffee. Student USM mesti tau, barang-barang di Majujaya sometimes can be expensive. Lebih mahal dari Tesco.

Dengan budget yang ada pada ketika itu, aku hanya mampu membeli Aik Cheong hahahaha. Well, better daripada tak ada kan? Not as strong as Nescafe but boleh la...

Well, tak banyak boleh diceritakan berdasarkan sebungkus kopi 3 in 1 hahaha. So, I have to end here.

Day 8 : A Song That Match Your Mood

I know not many of you have heard this band or songs before, but actually, these guys are famous.

A band from Iceland. Sigur Ros.

I started listening to them since 7 to 8 years ago.

Everytime I feel down or frustrated or... dunno. Like, feeling crappy or whatever, I'll listen to Sigur Ros. Their songs make me feel "alive" and sort of calming me down (although I dunno what the lyrics are saying hihihi). It's their music... the melody... everything.

Currently, I'm listening over and over again, these two songs from their fourth album - Takk....

Hoppipolla and Saeglopur.

Most of their songs are sung in Vonlenska or Hopelandic. So, actually, most of their songs tak ada lirik. But, just for the sake untuk share something, I google-ed Hoppipolla and Saeglopur lyrics and ada orang dah buat translation for both songs. So, here they are -

Saeglopur

Smiling
Spinning 'round and 'round
Holding hands
The whole world a blur
But you are standing

Soaked
Completely drenched
No rubber boots
Running in us
Want to erupt from a shell

Wind in
And outdoor smell of your hair
I hit as fast as I could
With my nose

Hopping into puddles
Completely drenched
Soaked
With no boots on

And I get nosebleed
But I always get up
(Hopelandic)

And I get nosebleed
But I always get up

As I said earlier, disebabkan most of their songs are sung Volenska or Hopelandic, jadi lirik ni tak semestinya accurate. Whatever it is, their lyric masih meaningful to me. Hope you enjoy the song.

Japan's Nuclear Crisis

Sorry, I have to stop the 30 days blogging challenge for a while. I really, really don't have the mood to talk about anything else right now due to what's happening in Japan.

Although Mr J is safe from the tsunami, but now, tambah satu lagi kerisauan - nuclear.

He msg me few days ago, said that he's okay. But if the nuclear power plant meletup semua, then it'll be ....

And so far, things tak menunjukkan sesuatu yang positif - base on news reported by international media. I wish he get out of Japan already. Come back home. But, rasanya semua itu impossible. He said that, despite what happened in Tokyo, Sendai and other effected areas, kawasan - kawasan lain di Jepun masih terus and aku rasa, semakin giat bekerja to cover up the loss akibat the earth quake and tsunami.

I never talk banyak pasal perkara ni dengan sesiapa melainkan dengan mummy. Ya, she was always there, rasanya hampir setiap hari bertanya if Mr J ada ctc masa aku tengah gila mencari dia since earth quake kat Jepun.

God knows what and how I feel - even untill now.

I may look okay on the outside but inside...

I told myself to be positive, but there are times bila aku rasa, the thought of losing him makes me hilang akal sekejap.

I know - to some people, kalau dah ajal, what can we do. So, just terima.

Easy to say that. aku pun rasa senang nak cakap macam tu before this. But when this disaster happened - it's not as easy as I thought. Tiap -tiap hari aku rasa macam tak hidup. CNN, BBC, Yahoo News - whatever media or news I found that talks about the disaster, aku baca.

And I was so desperate for news of him, sampai satu tahap, aku stalk kawan - kawan dia. But aku tak pernah tanya diorg secara direct how is he. Why? Because I'm scared. I'm scared that I might get bad news instead of the good one yang aku harap - harapkan.

Now, dia dah bagitau dia ok - from the tsunami.

Now, I'm worried about that stupid nuclear thingy sebab dia ada mention if that nuclear power plant ranap, most probably - Well, I don't want to say anything.

Worst fear confirm, here are update about the nuclear power plant from CNN website :

QnA Japan's Nuclear Crisis

Timeline : How Japan's Nuclear Crisis Unfolded

How Bad Is It?

Steam Cloud Over Nuclear Reactor Aborts Helicopter Mission

And just 3 hours ago, I read this on twitter :

DanielleCNN Danielle Dellorto

Wow! Just felt STRONG aftershock in Tokyo. So strong I ran to the doorway just in case. Lasted about 20 seconds!! #japan

KyungLahCNN Kyung Lah

Feel that? It's a long earthquake or aftershock-- not sure which yet. Doesn't feel super strong, but it's going on and on.

I tell you, benda - benda macam ni la yang buat makin merisaukan. How big is Japan untuk tidak menerima kesan seterusnya ???

Sorry la... Aku sangat, sangat, sangat negatif and sensitif beberapa waktu ini disebabkan oleh perkara ini. Setenang mana pun aku, kalau aku rasa hati dah nak meletop, meletop la jugak ...

Especially in time like this.

Aku letih. Very very tired. Mentally and emotionally. CNN has been my good friend since the disaster bermula. And I did nothing, selain dari membaca updates and checking my mail, my twitter for news.

Obsession? No. Worry. Seriously worry.

Keep praying for Japan my friends. That's the only thing we can do. Pray so that takkan ada lagi letupan yang akan memusnahkan the nuclear power plant. Because kalau ada, it's not just them yang terkena kesannya - Kita pun akan terkena.

God, save us. God, save Japan. God, protect us. God, give them strength.

Like I said, this year punya Lent betul - betul mencabar. Very - for me.

Day 6 and Day 7

Day 6 : A photo of an animal you'd love to keep as a pet

And that would be a ...

DOG !!!

Why?

1. They're cute
2. They're cute
3. They're cute
4. They're cute
5. They're obedient
6. They're easy to train
7. They're reliable
8. They can be your best friend
9. They can understand your feeling
10. They can be your bodyguard

Ten reason yang I think sangat bagus. Hahahaha...

Day 7 : Your Dream Wedding

If I say I want a simple wedding, macam a simple date, that would be ... tak masuk akal kan? But, I don't want a really grand wedding either. Sedang - sedang la kot. Only for close family and close friends.

I won't discuss banyak sangat about wedding ni sebab aku pun cuma only have rough idea of what I want for my wedding akan datang (walau pun tak tahu entah bila tapi... amen saja k).

Here we go.

In my Dream Wedding, aku berangan nak pakai wedding dress yang ala - ala baju zaman dulu - dulu. Kiranya klasik la. Contohnya macam yang kat bawah ni.

Tapi, dalam banyak - banyak wedding dress yang klasik tu, I prefer atau more tertarik pada wedding dress yang ala - ala baju Greek zaman dulu - dulu. Why? Sebab baju itu simple, elegant pada pandangan mata aku and 'berangin' hahahaha... Takde la sendat2 nak tahan bahagian - bahagian badan yang menggelebeh kan? kan? kan?

Greek wedding dress

I LOVE this one

Apart from baju ala - ala Greek ni, aku suka jugak yang ada corset. Konon nak kasi slim la time wedding hahahaha...

Ok, that's all for wedding dress.

Now, for the theme.

Mine would be Black, White and Red.

Memang kesukaan dari dulu. And aku pernah nampak birthday party and wedding gunakan tema ni. Tapi, kalau salah cara, akan nampak macam funeral hahahaha. So, time tu nanti, kalau boleh, aku nak orang yang tidak buta warna untuk bantu aku decorate.

The base color will be white while black and red adalah pengisian. That's what I have in mind. Trust me, the color combination is VERY NICE. Baby blue, pink and purple are so outdated ... bagi aku la. Tapi itu terpulang pada individu masing - masing warna apa yang diorg nak for their wedding, kan?

Kalau boleh, wedding cake pun aku nak ikut theme jugak hahaha.

People biasanya buat wedding reception or the whole day itself jadi satu hari yang stress. Menurut orang-orang yang pernah berkahwin ni, sangat stress menguruskan perkahwinan sampaikan pada hari kejadian juga, kena sentiasa berjaga-jaga untuk make sure semua berjalan lancar.

Hmm... harus la kan. Tapi kalau boleh, aku tak nak, especially wedding reception aku jadi hari serius sedunia... hahahaha... cakap boleh la Claire. Nanti that day tiba, muka kau ketat je sebab nak make sure this and that berlangsung dengan jayanya hahahaha

Ok, ok... Paling - paling pun, aku nak wedding cake yang menarik and buat orang takkan lupa. Contohnya macam ni :

Nampak macam kek main2 kan?

This is another option, tapi...

ada tak cream itam??? hahahaha

Malaysian biasanya akan buat reception malam hari, di dalam hotel. Untuk menjaga kebajikan orang-orang tua yang akan berada pada wedding day aku nanti, especially parents and atuk nenek, aku nak buat kat hotel la jugak.

Dalam masa yang sama, boleh elak ketiak basah. Sebab ada air-cond.

And aku nak color macam gini :

This is an outdoor punya concept.

Sebab tu pakai garden chair.

And, tidak boleh tinggal... Kahwin Adat. Kenyah (Orang Ulu) people, or mostly sarawak people, masih lagi berpegang teguh pada adat. And one of adat yang masih sangat - sangat utuh dipegang ialah adat perkahwinan.

And aku mahu/wajib berkahwin adat. Why? Malas nak terangkan sebab panjang lebar. Photo di bawah adalah gambar pengantin, berpakaian tradisional Kenyah; Perempuan punya baju we call Ta'a. My Ta'a adalah berwarna hitam, lain dari yang dipakai oleh perempuan dalam gambar di bawah.

Macam gini la, secara ringkas, pakaian yang dipakai masa perkahwinan adat.

Ta'a aku kaler itam macam pengantin ni pakai

You can read about Kenyah punya wedding dengan click pada link kat bawah tu. Macam mana ceremony itu berlangsung etc. But, different lepo' (kumpulan/clan/whatever), different cara celebrate the wedding. And then, there's class issue jugak... Ya, we still ada class system hahahaha...

Biasanya, kahwin ada lebih mahal dari wedding reception. Kenapa? P la cari orang Kenyah, lamar dia and kawin. Baru tau kenapa hahaha

Well, paling penting bagi aku, my dream wedding haruslah dimulai dengan blessing dari God.

Iya... Sacrament of Matrimony di church. Any of those above (kecuali kahwin adat), kalau tidak ada, tak apa.

But not this. This is A MUST :

So, there. 2 challenge in one post.

Sorry yesterday tak bolehe selesaikan challenge ke - 6 sebab line sangat lah "bagus".

Hampir - hampir aku nak p cabut router tenet kan.

psst :

Please keep praying for Japan. Selepas earthquake and tsunami, now ada masalah nuclear. Paling menyedihkan, ada sesetengah orang boleh lagi menuding jari, kata bencana alam ini disebabkan oleh kecuaian manusia.

What an idiot.

Bencana alam adalah sesuatu di luar kawalan manusia. Kenapa tsunami di Aceh yang juga melanda Penang dulu, takda yang kata sebab Indonesia menjalankan pembangunan tidak terancang?

And instead of memikirkan tentang kebajikan orang di sana, orang di sini sibuk menggesa Jepun pulihkan ekonomi secepat mungkin sebab tak nak kena effect buruk.

God knows what you're thinking. Ada satu masa nanti, bila bala terkena kat korang semua, I really hope people will say the same thing to you. Masa tu, baru kau tau, kau cuma manusia biasa.

Aku pelik macam mana orang - orang macam ni boleh jadi 'seseorang'... cis.
