unexpected hadiah

" Aisyah are you at home?", Hui Min asked me on the other line.

" Aah. Why aa?"', I asked back feeling curious.

" I datang kejap to you're house ya. Want to give you something"

" Huh? Sekarang ka? Emm ok. Miss call bila dah kat depan rumah ek", I replied back, feeling more curious.

I looked at the watch, it's 9pm already. "Ish..asal ek? Ada apa-apa ke ni", I asked to myself again. I shook of that thought and continued to read my Readers Digest.

After 10 minutes, Hui Min called me from outside. I quickly got out from my bed, took my keys and headed to the door.

" Hui min~ Kenapa ek?", I asked her as I was walking towards her.

She was on her bicycle, smiling to me and holding a brown thing on her right hand.

"Nah", she gave me the thing that she is holding.

I took it, rasa pelik she came all the way for this

And guess what? It is a brown pursee

A simple purse I must say, ada corak dan ukir-ukir sana sini. The one you could easily find at the streets of Malioboro. Tapi aisyah still sangat sangat suka every little inch of it! Stacey even said it is so me when I showed her (sebab dia corak-corak.hoho)

Well teman, if I told you 30 minutes ago (seriously 30 minutes ago!) I thought of changing my purse, will you believe me?

Hiks! Teman, you really make my day la! Thank youuuuu :)

Violinnn

Iffa dan Hui Min main violin kat bilik sekarang. Tengok bow diorang coordinate sama-sama- atas bawah atas bawah, aduuh asyik dong nontonnyaa!

Aisyah suka :)

Monolog dalaman: Cik aisyah, kapan hang nak pi keyboard class naa??

Pagi ke Puskesmas Anggulan

4.45am

My alarm rang-Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton. Dengan malasnya, I checked the time, it's 4.50am. I lied back.

Today is the day, I thought to myself. Volunteering work at Pusat Kesihatan Masyarakat (PUSKESMAS)

Suddenly I felt a cold chill. Nervous la ni kayaknya. I closed my eyes again, and let my mind wander.

5.20am

I woke up with a jolt. Kat luar dah bunyi bising.

"Mesti diorang tengah prepare nak pergi"

I got out from my bed lazily, and headed to the bathroom. Ish..solat subuh ujung-ujung lagi. Aisyah oh aisyah.

6.30am

Asa smsed me.

"Jam 7 ya aisyah..don't be late!!"

Ceit mamat ni, ingat orang akan lambat ka? Still, I look at the time. Erk!

I quickly get myself ready.

Jas- checked!
Stetoscope- checked!
Name tag- checked!
Watch- Emm tidak checked.
Breakfast- huhu. Tidak checked juga

I went to the kitchen. Everything stood still, terasa rumah sepi, kosong. Aneh sebenarnya. I shook my mind off, and quickly took my shoes near the garage.

6.54am

" Asaaa!! Aq baru bangun", I sent him the smsed. An evil smile crept on my face.

By the time I reached Taman Medika, I saw Eng Siang and Gandhi on their bike, just arrived at the faculty.

7.02am

"You nervous tak?", Eng Siang asked me.

"Agak laa. Rasa nervous the whole morning", I said to him.

"Sama dengan saya. Saya ada datang pukul 5.30am, hantar Adeline. Ramai dah ada di kampus, lagi rasa nervous"

"Betul-betul. Sebenarnya I ingatkan lambat tadi, rushing datang sini", I said to him eagerly.

" Oh? You punya jam pukul berapa sekarang? It's 6.52am now", Eng Siang showed his watch.

I checked my handphone.

"Eh? Mine is 7.02am. Maybe I cepatkan 10 minit. Laaaa..Eng siang!! Tengok..sekarang I dah tahu I cepatkan my watch!"

Ceit! Pass ni mesti datang kuliah lambat balik.

7.12am (mengikut jam handphone aisyah )

I'm walking back to TM. Lega selepas pergi toilet tadi, maybe due to my nervousness.

Asa and Yuni is already there.

"Kamu bilang baru bangun tadi", Asa said to me.

"Iyaa, memang baru bangun", I smile at him sheephisly.

He looked at me confused.

" Aku bercanda aja Asaa. Aku datang paling awal taw dibanding kamu!" I said to him proudly.

"Huh! Dasar kamu aisyah!"

I smiled, enjoying my success to kenakan Asa.

7.15am

We're inside Asa's car. There are a total of 5 of us.

Gandhi- Si ketua kelompok
Asa- Si Mirip Giant-Doraemon
Eng Siang- Si mamat yang pakai kemas
Yuni - Si Cewek Gendit

Everyone is excited. A 45 minutes drive. Greaat..

Hopefully I can do this, trying to motivate myself

The car moved. I looked outside, we've already left FK.


***

12.45am (masih mengikut jam aisyah ya)

Wah! Perut kenyang.

We're on our way back home. We stop for lunch to a chinese muslim restaurant. Boleh tahan laa

Everyone is in a good mood.

I looked out the window and smiled.

Thank you god..


:)

Sepetang dengan Farah

Me: You know, I don't think I'll be rich la. I'll be spending it on travelling.
Farah : Huh?

Farah Nasyitah looked at me weirdly. Why with the sudden change of topic?

It was petang near to maghrib already. We were walking home from campus.

After the Charity Concert's meeting, I stayed for awhile to watch the girl's basketball match. As usual, our batch supporters yang paling semangat. We cheered for the goal, cheered for the attempt goal and even cheered when our batchmate played!

Farah was among the supporters. When she knew I might walk home, she offered to walk with me. I thought it was sweet. She could have gone back with Sid and get back home in minutes, instead here she is walking with me, late in the evening masing-masing penat.

Farah: Aku pun tak rasa aku akan kaya.
Me : Asal ek?
Farah : Elo..you're looking at someone who spend Rp300k for her cat!
Me: Hehe..that makes sense

Farah : I think I'll be like my mum
Me : Maksudnya?
Farah : Kalau ada duit, spend. Kalau tak, tak la
Me : Haa! Macam kakak ipar dan abang aku jugak! Kalau ada duit spend, kalau tak diam. Sebab tu kalau diorg ada duit, nanti diorang bawak kitaorg pergi makan sushi la, movie la, makan tempat mahal la..kalau takda, takda la.
Farah : Betul! Lebih kurang macam mak aku jugak aa

We then discuss about rich people. Farah thinks rich people are rich because they are kedekut, I on the other hand thought its because they know how to take opportunity. So for the next 5 minutes, we argued about that, masing-masing bersemangat nak prove kan point yang disampaikan

Me : Sekarang aku banyak save duit spend on electronics stuff
Farah : Apa ko beli?
Me : Em, handphone aku..external aku..printer aku..
Farah : Sama macam aku gak. Aku spent banyak on gadgets gak..bla..bla..(nama-nama aneh computer gadgets semua keluar)..bla..bla..duit scholar nak tunggu.
Me : Oh..next scholar aku dah target nak beli apa! Aku nak beli lotion bodyshop..bestnyee
Farah : Bodyshop ek? That's a good brand.
Me : Tu la pasal!
Farah : Aku nak beli WARCOM (pen tablet) nanti. Tapi mahal sangat. RM1000 lebih. But it's nicer to use compare to the tablet I'm using right now. Smoother to draw

I don't really get it. So she explained to me how different tablet can affect how you draw. "Bila kau lukis, ko bukan pandang paper, tapi pandang screen. Sebab tu lain". The explanation goes on. Eventually, we came to a conclusion that whoever good in tablet drawing, can be a good microsurgeon. Maybe a brain neurosurgeon?

Me: I got a question Farah. Why are you buying all this? Kalau nanti ko jadi animator ke apa ke..logic jugak. But eventually you're going to be a doctor, bukan guna pun, takda masa plak tu.
Farah: Aku tahu..sebab tu aku nak draw sampai puas. Because later I know I'll drop everything, langsung tak sentuh!
Me : Haha. Macam reason aku masuk keyboard class nanti.

We go on talking excitedly about this. Then the topic shifted to drawing.

Tiba-tiba teringat masa di KTT berborak dengan Farah Nasyitah. Kitaorang bercakap dari jam 11 sampai 1 pagi non stop pasal Harry Potter. Yang peliknya, masa tu baru kenal Farah.

Me : I used to like drawing. Especially trees and buildings. Tapi sekarang tak. I really want too..but it takes time la, which I cannot afford.
Farah : Sama la. Aku faham, especially when you're taking medicine.

The sun already goes down. Few birds fly over us. Multiple azan can be heard as we walked. The warm evening breeze brushed through us.

Me : Have you ever feel you want to draw so much, but you can't because you don't have your own style? You end up tiru orang lain tapi you tak rasa puas.
Farah : Yes yes all the time
Me : Really? Tapi ko dah ada style sendiri
Farah : No no tak. I faced the same problem also. Aku amik masa 11 tahun untuk sampai ke tahap aku sekarang kan

Aisyah berfikir.

Trying to draw again has been on my mind this past weeks sebenarnya. But I could never bring myself to it. Ironically now, I am having this conversation.

Nothing is impossible, its just that the impossible takes a little longer.

>>Di kala hati

Dikala hati ini mau bersuara
tiada yang mau mendengar
kerna manusia itu sememangnya
punyai dua mulut satu telinga
tidakkah kau tahu?

Dikala hati ini mau bersuara
di carinya teman
namun di tempiskan tepi
sakitnya hati setajam pisau
tetap diam seribu diam
dimananya teman seribu janji?

Dikala hati ini diselubungi emosi
bagaikan wayar dibelit belit
puncanya hilang rupanya jelek
kerna bila hati ini diselubungi emosi
bagaikan jihad perjuangan untuk dirinya
mencari jawapan yang tiada titiknya

>> falling slowly

12 0ct 09

i dont know you
but i want you
all the more for that

words fall through me
and always fool me
and i cant react

falling slowly
eyes that know me
and I can't go back

Falling Slowly - Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova

Me : Elo assalamualaikum
Cikin: Waalaikumusalam
Me: Cikin, panggil mama
Cikin : Huh? Kakak mana ni? Kak Aisyah ke Kak Asmah ke Kak Azreen?
Me : Ala awak ni, panggil je la mama.

She put down the phone and from far I can hear she called mama, "Mama..!! Kakak call!! Kak Aisyah atau Kak Asmah atau Kak Azreen kot!".

Aneh sungguh adikku sorang ni, kakak sendiri pun tak boleh nak bezakan. Takpala, us sisters are after all are known to have similar voice and way of talk especially on the phone. It used to cause some confusion between our friends and sometimes for fun, we just go along with it :P

Papa : Alo?
Me : Eh? Assalamualaikum pa. Appa buat apa?
Papa : Huh?
Me : Papa buat apaaa?
Papa : Baca paper..

*silence*

Talking with my appa on the phone has always been awkward. It seems that when not facing each other, my dad can be quite cold. The conversation eventually will be short and end up with me asking to talk to mama.

The opposite with my appa which I enjoy sitting side by side, watching together history documentary or some programme in Discovery or National Geographic. I'll be chatty asking questions about the programme, and he'll answer my question patiently never to raise his voice. Sometimes we watch in silence, a comfortable warmth surrounds us. They are things better said than words.

Me : Pa mama ada tak?
Papa : Em sekejap

Mama : Elooo
Me : Elo maa. Ma buat apa?
Mama : Oh mama kat belakang tadi ngan Mak Long
Me : Aik Mak Long?

She explained Mak Long is here for Kak Halwa's graduation. Abang Chak and Abang Ngah is also here. With Zulhai and Hanif around- my Abang Ngah's mischievous anak, sure mama risau keselamatan barang-barang kaca dia. Then she goes on talking about Abang Cik is preparing lunch for them, so they are waiting for him.

Mama : Aisyaaaah, semalam mama buat 5 kilo roti jala
Me : Heh? Untuk siapa?
Mama : Untuk surau. Mama charge RM18 sekilo, sepatutnya rM20 tapi sebab untuk surau mama tak kesah sangat. Sakit-sakit belakang mama buat dengan Cikin.
Mama : La mama ni, sekarang Cikin boleh la tolong. Nanti kalau takda Cikin camna. Letih la mama
Mama : Oh takla itu sebab mama buat berdiri. Aisyah tahu kerusi computer atas tu? Nanti mama bawak bawah..mama duduk sambil buat.
Me : Emm

She talks about it proudly, like a kid eager to share her victory. Except I don't feel that way.

At her age, I thought she won't do small business anymore. At a very tender age, my mum used to help her mum to make and sells kueh. You see..my arwah tokwan is a policeman and doesn't earn that much to support his 9 children. I remember my uncles told us stories they used to eat nasi with only minyak ikan and kicap. Or they have to sell karipap in school and got scolded by the teachers. They even told us the story about my ma got into an accident after a cooking class. She has the scar on the head to prove it.

Over the years, when she has us, she still does it. Become a Tupperware and Amway agent, selling Indian saries, Italian ornaments, Beijing's bed comforter, Vietnam's bag sulam to name the few. She even used to sell kueh makmur for raya. Oh how I hate to help her during that time.

Till now, it amazes me how she can manage to juggle her small business, the 5 of us and her work in the bank, mostly without my dad around.

Mama: Aisyah dah confirm dengan exhange program tu?
Me : Yup dah.
Mama : Nanti mama tambah.
Me : Em..takpa kot ma. Aisyah nye saving cukup ni
Mama : Takpe..mama ada duit, nanti kalau ada rezeki adalah. Ustaz penah bagitau takyah berkira sangat dengan anak. Allah tambah rezeki kita kalau kita pemurah, InsyaAllah.

Aisyah diam.

15 Favourites Romance Movies (Part 1)

Salam,

Motivated by Ana's recent blog (heee..makasih ya ana!), I listed down 15 of my favorites romance movies. Sebenarnya macam banyak, tapi lantak ah. For my own referencess pun bile masa dah tua. hoho.

I've been planning to write it down for quite sometime now, but cik procrastinate and cik malas got a hold of me. So today dengan jayanya men type.

Some of the movies I chose are just classic boy meet girl then happy endingnye movie, while others are the sure-hero/heroin-ada-mati-one! kindda movie.

But overall it's those movies which touch your heart, left a tingling feeling inside and eventually leads you to berangan to have the same love story, same guy, same romantic moments etc etc *sigh, kalau la benar..*

So here goes,

Aisyah's 15 favourites romance movies:

jeng jeng jeng!!

1. Mozart And the Whale

I highly recommend you guys to watch this indie movie. The story mainly evolves about two autistic people who fall in love and their difficulties in maintaining their relationship. Josh Hartnett memang hebat ah in potraying as an autistic person, same goes to Radha mitchell.

2. A Moment to Remember - Korea

Oh..I love the character in here!

It is one of those movies, you wish to be as lemah lembut and ayu as the heroin, because you wish to get the tough-ARCHITECT-tahan nangis-good looking nye hero. heee *berangan*

Overall, the storyline and development of character are nicely showed here. Tu la pasal boleh menangis kaw-kaw. Feeling abih aa!

3. 50 First Dates

















I've watch this movie more than 5 times. That's how much I like this movie!

It's super sweet and the humour is just right. Not stupidly overboard. Plus, they have great songs in it. Forgetfull lucy~

Lucy : What happen to the cow?
Henry : Same like you, everday they have to remind her she's a cow.

4. Notebook
















Ni adalah classic. Simple and sweet.

Bookbased like A Walk to Remember, I think it is well adapted or maybe even better! They've chose great actors to play Allie and Noah.

Definitely a must watch!

Allie: Why now? I've been waited for 7 years??

5. Edward Scissorhand

















Waaaaah..sukaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Oh no no, not because our dear Johnny Depp is in it, but because simply..sukaaaaa!

So maybe it is not a typical romance movie, and maybe I love the idea of the character more than the whole romance thing, but tak kesah lah! A great movie by Tim Burton!

Aisyah kecik-kecik: Akak tengok..aisyah cam orang dalam cite tu! (pegang gunting dua belah tangan ngan gaya mengunting rambut)

6. Secrets - Taiwan

















I used to have an obsession over this movie!

Tengok banyak kali, download semua soundtrack, tiru certain words, ngan siap ada tiru certain action dalam cite nie ngan Hui Min! Memang menambahkan obsesi sama Jay Chou

But seriously, this story is great. Most of the scenes are in schools, so you can have that correlation and the love between Xianglu and Xianyu are just so adorable! The movie even emphasice on love between parents and child

My suggestion: Tengok movie ni dengan headset. Amazing amazing music is in it :)

7. 10 Things I Hate about You
















This is one cool romantic chick flick.

Sebenarnya 'She's All Tha't pun best gak. But I love the character of the girl here, played by Julia Stiles. Tough, independant and knows what she wants kindda woman. That's how I like it.

And the guy, acted by the late Heath Ledger is not your typical guy next door. When he sang "Can't take my eyes off of you", aduh sweet plak rasa.

Great to watch with your bestbuddies!

billionaires and buying countries

Salam,

Interesting article from yahoo.com

You know who's the richest man in the world right now?

Yes..Bill Gates, the notorious computer geek turn billionaire. Guess what! According to the yahoo article, Gates fortune is exceedingly more than the gross domestic product (GSD) of 140countries!

ye kami tahu kenapa anda senyum..

In other words, Mr Bill Gates here can buy Costa Rica if he wishes to..

umm..well i think this is a perfect spot to build my kitchen

..or if he doesn't like Costa Rico, how bout El Savador..


..or even Uruguay!

cuci mata cuci mata setiap ari

And his long time friend, the richest man in 2008; Warren Buffet (who according to the article, lost a huge amount of money in 12 months) can also join the our-money-worth-more-than-your-GSD-per-year club.

His fortune itself can buy North Korea.

super junior and wonder girls in the making.hihi

If you thought that making movies can't earn that much to buy a country..well, George Lucas proves you wrong!

The renown filmmaker for Star Wars and Indiana Jones (yes yes yes!) have fortune worth more than GSD Guyana. perghhhhh

indiana jones next mission,hee

Emm menarik.. :P

The Lost Symbol

"..is The Lost Symbol is as good as The Da Vinci Code? Simply put, yes..."

Aisyah wish the paperbag book will come out soon. Copaaat laa!

Good news!

Salam,

Alhamdulilah, Mr Oktober does bring me good news!

Aisyah found out she got this one..

..and next July maybe she will see this...


And who knows, she might meet this person..

..and shout with all her might, "Jay Chou!!! Wo hen ai niiiii!!!!"

hoho :P


Aisyah's mumble: tbwf evju sekarang!
