Kampung Pantos (Part 1)

"Aisyah cepat!!! Papa dah siap laaa!", Kak Asmah jerit dari bawah

Shoot! Dah la tak mandi, tak solat Asar lagi! Terhegeh-hegeh la mandi dengan style mandi kerbau dan solat macam kilat. By the time turun bawah dengan bag, Kak Asmah dan papa dah kat dalam kereta tunggu.

"ASDAF ni kat mane?", Kak Asmah tanya.

ASDAF adalah short from untuk Asrama Darul Falah. Asrama yang menempatkan anak-anak yatim orang asli dan merupakan tempat pengumpulan kami sebelum ke perkampungan orang asli di Kampung Pantos, Kuala Lipis Pahang.

By the time sampai ke ASDAF (dekat Bangsar), cun cun masuk maghrib. Aisyah amik telekung dalam bag dan terus ke surau untuk solat jemaah bersama-sama. Anak-anak kat situ pandang pelik je. Kot kot diorang pikir, sapa pulak la kakak nie, senyum-senyum kambing kat kami, tak penah tengok orang ka?

Selesai solat, aisyah sms Kak Mas, "Akak katne? Aisyah dah sampai ASDAF".

Through Kak Mas la aisyah tahu SALAM ada kendalikan aktiviti ini. Dan Kak Mas jugak la orang pertama minta tempe dari Jogja. Katanya tempe jogja lain dari Malaysia nya. Er..ye ke?

Teringat kali pertama jumpa Kak Mas. Aisyah dan papa on the way turun bawah (dari puncak gunung di FRIM) bila terjumpa satu group orang Jepun tengah berehat kat post rehat. Masa tu tengah hot-hot minat cerita Jepun, so jadi excited plak jumpa orang Jepun benaran. Jagun la katakan..

Di antara orang-orang Jepang ni, adalah seorang kakak berkulit hitam manis memperkenalkan diri. Papa, being his usual self strike up a conversation. Borak punya borak kami dapat tahu dia volunteer yang bawak jalan orang-orang Jepun dan merupakan ahli Yayasan SALAM, sebuah NGO sukarelawan. Papa memang tahu aisyah interested benda-benda macam ini, so he told me to take her number.

Itu 3 tahun yang lepas. Sekarang aisyah adalah officially ahli SALAM, walaupun dah tak aktif selepas masuk KTT :(

Sambil menunggu Kak Mas, volunteer-volunteer lain turut datang. Pelajar Perubatan UKM (PPUKM) juga turut terlibat. Kira-kira 9pm, kami ada briefing dengan wakil ASDAF, Encik Latif.

"Jangan sebut sakai, jangan berjanji dengan orang asli nanti dia tuntut sampai mati, tiada proper tandas disana. Kalau terpaksa ke semak untuk membuang, buanglah (masa ni terkedu gak) etc etc", antara di sebut Encik Latif.

After briefing kami diagihkan ke kereta-kereta. Aisyah luckily dapat sama dengan Kak Mas. Selain dia, ada Abang Syakir aka driver kami aka suami Kak Mas (diorang berjumpa masa volunteering. Comel kan?!!) dan Kak Lisa aka kakak si kecil comel.

So off we go!

Kami berhenti sekejap di tol Gombak untuk menunggu teman-teman yang lain. Selepas tu perjalanan di teruskan. Jam menunjukkan 12.32am, aisyah pandang ke luar, melihat kelibat-kelibat pokok bergerak laju, lagu di radio sayup ke dengaran, dan keadaan kereta yang dingin, perfect condition untuk layan perasaan. Oh malam~

Kami stop sebentar di Raub untuk minum. Teringat kata Encik Latif yang tiada toilet, banyak la yang beratur nak ke toilet. Ni kalau buat business toilet memang sure untung la malam tu!

Kira-kira jam 2pagi, kami tiba di Masjid Muhajirin. Dari sini, perjalanan ke perkampungan itu hanya akan mengambil 40 minit. Tapi untuk sekarang, kami akan tidur di masjid, besok pagi baru kesana.

>>beautifully imperfect

dear yasmin ahmad,

some people say you're a kunsa,
and others say your movies is perosak akhlak
i say peduli apa,
because you make movies like no other
from sepet to mualaf,
to commercials for raya to chinese new year
it makes us think
of ourselves and others
because you are a one of a kind,
a storyteller

dear yasmin ahmad,
you will be truly be missed
the beautifully imperfect

Al Fatihah

Aisyah's mumble: on the way balik dari Pahang baru dapat tahu Yasmin Ahmad meninggal dunia. Sedih jap dalam kereta. Siapa lagi nak buat movie macam die?

>>aku dan kamu

bila kamu api, aku air
bila kamu air, aku api
aku tetap aku
apabila bersama kamu

maksud bloggers

Salam,

Funny interpretation of "bloggers" from UrbanDictionary:

"Bloggers are an antisocial idiot who has nothing better to do than to write about their totally meaningless life and present it on the internet. Bloggers are greasy-haired geeks who stink of sour ass cheese and pus breath due to their lack of tooth brushings and flossings which has led them down the road to gum disease"

You don't like this one? Maybe teman-teman akan suka yang ni..

"Blogger is a term used to describe anyone with enough time or narcissism to document every tedious bit of minutia filling their uneventful lives. Possibly the most annoying thing about bloggers is the sense of self-importance they get after even the most modest of publicity. Sometimes it takes as little as a referral on a more popular blogger's website to set the lesser blogger's ego into orbit."

..or maybe something simpler,

"Blogger is a person with a laptop, an ax to grind, and their virginity"

So my fellow bloggers, do you think you fit the criteria? heks!



*sniffing*
alamak, I think I do smell like sour cheese. Cis!

>>3 patah kata

money can kill
relationship are complicated
ignorance is bliss
emotions are unpredictable
silence is gold
patience is virtue

cerita korea

Salam,

My eldest sister, who work with Petronas, told us an interesting new rules set by Petronas. According to her, Petronas now doesn't allow their workers to marry their own colleague. In other words, orang Petronas dengan another orang Petronas.

This rule also applies for Petronas scholars studying local or abroad. The new contract (for new Petronas scholar) will state about this matter. So kalau ter jatuh cinta dan ter kahwin, maka orang tersebut ter bridge contract dan ter kena bayar duit la kot.

The reason for this is actually to reduce the number of their workers' request to be transfer to the same place as their partner.

A bit weird eh?

If this new rule seriously going to be applied, expect a lot of scene-scene cite Korea kat UTP..

bf : you, i think kite tak boleh bersama la you..
gf : kenapa you? you dah tak sayang i lagi ke you?
bf : tidak you!! cinta i pada you setinggi gunung everest seluas lautan pacifik you!!
gf : abis tu kenapa you?!!
bf : *memalingkan muka ke arah lain*
cinta kita ni cinta terhalang you..you Petronas, i Petronas..kita tak boleh bersama you..
gf : *menangis teresak-esak dan langsung berlari keluar*
bf : yooooou!!!!

*lagu winter sonata as background music*



:P

ecchymosis

Salam,

Recently I've been having small bruises on my body. Bruises that I don't remember how I got it. Takde la besar mane kalo dibandingkan dengan Kak Asmah and sure enough not as many as hers.

Maybe Kak Asmah's "roomate" dah start ade interest kat orang kot.

Gulp!

driving with mama :P

**Caution! This is a long entry!**

Salam,

Driving a car. Adakah anda suka?

Ya sememangnya bila ditanyakan pasti banyak akan berkata "Iya! Pasti! Of course~" dan sebilangan kecil sahaja akan berkata "Em..tak. Ish benci la! Oh no no noooo!"

But if you ask Aisyah..hermmm

Al-kisah pada satu pagi, Aisyah and her mum when to the pasar. After breakfast and buying groceries,(her kakak and little sister are coming home today!Yay!) they headed back home.

Aisyah, who haven't drive for so long ask her mum if she can drive home. Her mum, hesitate for awhile, but finally gave in and gave her the car key.

Aisyah was thrill!

She starts the engine, press the clutch pedal and switch to reverse gear. Slowly she released the clutch while carefully balancing light pressure on the accelerator (Aisyah have a wide histories of mati engine. Who doesn't ek?). The 8 years old kancil slowly starts to move. Aisyah was smiling.

Then suddenly another car was behind them! Aisyah remains calm (Aisyah also have history of panic attack when there's other car nearby when driving) but her mum already giving instructions on properly reversing the car. Aisyah listened carefully and try to follow her instructions but the car abruptly mati enjin. Cis! So Aisyah tried to start the engine again.

Zzzzzzzghhh!

Alamak, again

Zzzzzzzghhhh!

She tried several times but to no vail. The sound of engine as expected, attracts some 'concern' Malaysians. (reminder: Aisyah is still within the pasar compund)

So, Aisyah's mum offered to drive out to spare her the embarassment,"Mama reverse, nanti Aisyah drive kat lua ya"

Aisyah changed seats while muttering some unpleasant words to herself. Her mum reversed the car and drive out smoothly.

Outside the pasar, Aisyah and her mum changed seats again. These time, she has no problem driving. Aisyah is smiling again. Gear 1, switch to gear 2, pick up..swicth to gear 3. Easy bezzy.

Everything seems fine until they reached to a busy junction. Her mum keep on lecturing about how she should drive slow and not fast-according to her, below 50kmph is accetapble. (????)

At the junction, Aisyah didn't switch to the proper gear. (She blames the old kancil itself :p) The car starts to jerk, and abruptly-again, mati enjin. Another car is behind them. Aisyah quickly starts the engine, the car jolt in front. She tries again, and the same thing happened.(Aisyah feels as though she's riding a horse :P) Aisyah panicked. Her mum panicked.

Her mum keep on bising about changing gears. Aisyah-who become more panic because of her mum, finally realized something; the gear is not in neutral. That explain for the jerking and jolting. So Aisyah switched the gear to neutral and starts the engine again.

Gedegdeggeeee..the engine car starts.

Aisyah quickly switch the gear and press the accelerator to speed up. Luckily there was only one car on the other side of the road. Aisyah believes she did some aksi-aksi orang ber racing atau drifting because she seriously think she saw her mum holding her seat belt and have that fear look on her.

The rest of journey, was oke with Aisyah's mum, continue to nag about gear, practice and straight road.



Aisyah's advice: When driving with you're mum...emmm..AWAS!!

Aisyah dah baliik!

Salam,

Yay! I'm back!

Finally after all those exams, you look forward for the much anticipated rest.!

It's good to know nothing have change much after 8 months. Emm..maybe a lot, but I don't care less. I'm homeeeeee people!!

Anyway Cikin, my annoying little sister which I share my room with, is in Kuantan. So dengan happynya I will have my room all for myself! I'm free from my annoying little sister teman-teman!! But oh wait, I have my cute little-nak-cubit-setiap-hari niece to bug me around. With that big eyes of hers and sweet-budget-comel smile..aish, takper la kasi chance. :P

So, teman-teman yang nun di Perlis hingga ke Johor, Happy Holiday korang~!

Till then,
Bye!

Cinta dan Rindu

~
sebenarnya, hati ini, cinta.. kepadaMu
sebenarnya, diri ini rindu.. kepadaMu

tapi aku, tidak mengerti kenapa cinta masih tak hadir
tapi aku, tidak mengerti mengapa rindu belum berbunga

sesungguhnya, walau ku kutip semua permata di dasar lautan
sesungguhnya, ku siram dengan air hujan dari 7 langit Mu
namun cinta..takkan hadir
namun rindu.. tak akan berbunga

ku cuma menghulurkan sebuah hadiah kepadaMu
tapi mungkin kerana isi nya tidak sempuran tiada seri
ku cuba menyiramkan agar tumbuh dan berbunga
tapi mungkin kerna airnya tidak sesegar tenaga kausar

namun cinta.. takkan hadir
namun rindu.. takkan berbunga

jika tidak mengharapkan rahmatMu
jika tidak mengharap simpati
kepada mu ya Allah

Tuhan, hadiahkanlah, kasihmu kepadaku
Tuhan, kuniarkanlah rindu Mu kepada ku
moga ku tahu syukurku adalah milikMu
~

masih mencari-cari :(

Petang yang indah

Salam,

One fine petang; or sore as they call it here in Indonesia, Aisyah Si Procastinator-yang-tak-sedar diri-nak-exam, received a quest from He-Who-Must-Be-Name to search for Roro Rojak- a mystical creature people believed to have unlimited power.

So off she goes with Ain's bicycle as her companion and Woan Shiang's camera as her sword and shield. She search high and low for Roro Rojak, until she came upon a place like no other. A place where people say Roro Rojak once ruled~ *mysterious voice*

Hehe. Sorry for the poyo introduction. I'm in my poyo mood right now ;P

Anyway, as the story goes, I did went to a place like no other. A place I never thought I'll find in Pogung.

Secluded from outside, the place-a kampung, have house build on water, people use kayu api to cook, mandi and wash clothes/pinggan using a manmade pipe outside (depa siap bawak towel smua); have cows, goats and chickens; piles of sampah tersusun nicely beside their house and river with rubbish, running as their backyard

It was hard for me to believe that people can live in such place. But eventhough I said that, surprisingly I feel at peace when I was there. Maybe it's because of those sincere smiles I received when I was there.

I took some pictures of the place, and this time around I edit it to give the black and white effect. Most of it is just pictures I randomly took.

Enjoy!

I've been kicked out!

Salam,

Well, you read the title above, I've been kicked out!!!

Yes, from a team I joined in the internet. I know this is just a cyber thingie, but hye, we do chat and share stuff/opinions with each other. We have a friendship here folks!

So much for " Unscholary Scholar- a group where results doesn't really matters!".

Still, I cannot blame them. The last time I log in was a month ago (busy la katakan..hehe) and by then they're in a hype for a team-team competition. Where is your teammates when you need them eh?

Anyways, this is actually a great site for those trivia lovers. They've got quizzes from "History of Great American Wars" to " How well do you know Naruto" yang n mesti Ain suke . They even have quiz regarding " Paediatric cancer with a focus on neuroblastoma" A creative way to study kan?

So, here's the link http://www.funtrivia.com/

..and I hope you're enjoy it as much as I do!


Till then,
Bye!

medical books

Salam,

Oh the joy when you finished exams! Your heart feels slightly lighter and you continue to dream of your much awaited holiday - main dengan zulaikha, mama's homecook meals, meeting up old friends, pasar malam's food and most importantly duduk goyang kaki without a single medical book at sight! hehe.

But then suddenly you realize...OSCE is next Thursday. Cis!

Well, to celebrate my shortlived joy of abih exam, I decided to take some photos of our medical books, just for the fun of it! There is no exact theme for it, but there's a lot of LOVEEE involves. :P

I'm using Woan Shiang's Canon Powershot A480 (the one yang die asyik cite tu..) It is not a SLR digital camera for sure, but since I'm taking a lot of close up pictures and its 10 megapix, I must say I'm satisfied with the results. The pictures are not crop or edited, this is a still life photos.

I'm new with this, so don't expect walaweaaa nye photos ya. Any comments/ suggestions are much appreciated :)
Enjoy!

The ring symbolizes love, attachment and relationship.
It shows how much we, medical students are dependant more or less on our books for knowledge.
So whether we realize it or not, were having err a relationship with our medical books
An unspoken love scandal. hehe
