Dalam berniat tak nak buat kuih raya tahun ni, akhirnya terbatal jugak sebab mak dah beli badam untuk buat badam cokelat kegemaranku :D so tadi dah buat badam cokelat dah. And sambung buat tart nenas atas permintaan bonda tersayang. Memang dari dulu pun memang jarang beli tart. Selalu nya tart memang buat sendiri je. Bila buat2 kuih ni... Tetiba rasa mood raya dah datang. Weee!! Tapi...kasut tudung tak beli lagi :/

I'm home for raya!!!

I left campus at about 1130am to come back home for raya. Alhamdulillah dah selamat sampai and jalan kat highway tadi x jem and tak terserempak dgn mana2 kemalangan yang teruk. Dah masuk KL baru jalan sesak sikit kat Jalan Duta dan Jalan Hang Tuah. Tadi nampak 4 org online Waze kat KL & laporkan kesesakan. Nampak macam dah makin ramai yg guna Waze sekarang.
Pagi tadi lepas sahur kepala berdenyut2, badan angin sampai muntah2. Apa yang x kena dengan badan entah. Tak sabar nak raya kot. :P ok. Nak rest japs.

Astro B.Player World Cup Contest Winners

Did you follow @astrobplayer on twitter during the World Cup 2010?

Did you watch the matches live on Astro website, brought by the Stadium Astro - B.Player in HD?

Well, I did. And since I watch it online and I’m a twitter addict, I joined the Astro B.Player “Watch & Tweet” contest for fun. I have been very unlucky with contest. I’ve join a lot of contest but I seldom win. Kesian, kan? :( As far as I can remember, the only contest I won was the one on Sasha Bashir’s blog – the Sunsilk contest.

Anyway, I was announced as one of the consolation winners for the Astro B.Player contest and won myself RM100 worth of movie vouchers. :D

Yayyy!! I am so excited (even it’s just the consolation) since like I said – I was always unlucky when it comes to contest :D

Honestly I can’t remember what did I tweet (cos there were like a lot!) and don’t have any idea which of the tweets that actually help me won this. But that’s not a big problem, as long as I win. :P

Congratulations all the other winners and me!! XD

Life is short, so live it to the fullest

“Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is. The way you deal with it is what makes the difference.”

- Virginia Satir

In a few months, I’m gonna turn 25 and I don’t think I’ve achieve much in life. I’m not working, yet. I haven’t been conferred with the Masters Degree. I am not even married. But, I do live my life to the fullest (or at least I think I am). I tried to do many thing in life that I think If I didn’t try to do it before I get older or die, it’ll be a loss for me.

1. I tried kayak.



I am afraid of the sea since the incident where I almost drown when I was small. But when a friend asked me to go to a kayak course with her during my 1^st year study in USM, I think I should at least give it a try. We went to kayak at Pantai Merdeka, Kedah and I found myself enjoying it. The last time I kayaked was during the holiday with family at the Rebak Island, Langkawi.

2. I went into a cave.

Source : Google.com

(I don’t know what term I should use for ‘going into a cave’ activity.) I went into Gua Tempurung, Perak with high-school friends in 2001. It was one of the greatest experiences ever – to crawl in the water that almost got into the mouth, to climb up the rock, to slide down a slippery rock which almost hurt my hands palm for trying to ‘control & break’ (stupid me!). Too bad my camera fall into the water, and so I don’t have any picts during the trip.I wanna go again… but… :(


3. I savour every bite of a meal.

  How can I resist this? :/

I love foods. Enuff said. Everyone who is close to me knows the fact that I enjoy eating variety of foods and enjoy trying new food. Malay, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Indian, Middle East, Western, Italian. Name it! :D


4. I danced traditional dance. 



Yes, you can go to the club and dance till you drop. But you can’t easily dance any Malay traditional dance. Try to dance to a Zapin – you’ll be lost in the middle of the dancers if you don’t stick to the beat. Try to dance to an Inang – you’ll find yourself like a wood in the middle of the leaves blowing in the wind.


5. I hiked.

Tweeting from 227m above sea level ;)

I did it, to the Muka Head Light House, Penang National Park! That was one of my biggest achievements due to the health problem I have. It was fun! And even funnier when I get to tweet from up above and sent mms to several ‘lucky’ people, to show how excited I was.

6. I keep old friends, I make new friends.

2003 @ SMK Aminuddin Baki

Thanks to the invention of Twitter, I made new friends each day. And I honestly glad I get to know most of them – the awesome twiends of mine.


7. I travel.

 

I wish to write it as ‘I go travel all around the world’ but sadly I haven’t really been out of Malaysia for holiday. But that doesn’t stop me for still go travel all around Malaysia. I’ve already been to 12 out of 13 states in Malaysia (not including Federal Territory), and still I find that I haven’t been to a lot of interesting places in the states. I need to go to Sabah to complete all 13 states. I even dedicated my travelling experience to the places of interest in my travel blog – Bubbles Goes Travel. I wish and pray one day I’ll get to really write it as ‘I go travel all around the world’. Aminnn~


8. I touched a snake.



Like, finally!!! I am so NOT gonna touch it again! Hahaha. See the obvious muka cuak of mine? And see my cousin Diba cheated, she held the snake with a shawl. Plus the snake head is with me, Diba only held the tail. Scaryyy!!Anyway I’ve always wanted to try to touch a snake and now that I had, it’s gonna be the once in a lifetime experience. Confession : the snake was heavy that i feel pain in my neck :/


9. I learned to cook and bake.

 

Cooking and baking is hard for those who are not born with the talent, like me. So far I’ve learned to prepare simple Malay dishes such as curry, sambal, asam pedas, Indian famous Rasam and Chinese cuisine like Chicken Stew.  I tried to prepare chicken chop and mushroom soup, which I learned in a cooking class (yes, I’m not ashamed to admit that I went to several cooking and baking classes). I baked cakes and pastries. And well, I’ve tried to prepare sushi too. :D Either it taste good or not, never mind. At least I have the courage to try, right? :)


10. I got myself a Degree in Polymer Engineering.

USM 38th Convocation ceremony, 2008

And to get my Masters Degree, soon. InsyaAllah. :)


11. I blog.

Besides blogging to share what I know or done with all of the blog readers, I also blog as my life journal to keep record of every single thing I accomplished every day. Once in a while, I’ll spend my time to re-read my previous post to see how have I lived my life.

There are still a lot of things I want to do and I wish I get the chance to do it, InsyaAllah.
Join me in living life to the fullest. Start your list today! :)

Am currently at Jusco (AEON) Perda for an iftar with a friend, Zydah. While waiting i kill my time at the Popular book store. Yes, killing time at a bookstore is much worth it than window shopping. Anyway a few books catched my eyes but I obviously won't let myself buy them cause I still haven't finish A. Samad Said's Salina (currently reading) and Tilly Bagshawe's Sidney Sheldon - Mistress of the Game. I was stuck with thesis writing & couldn't find the time to finish both.
