Venezia: Land of Love

2012-02-17T07:30:00.000-05:00

So, I figured that I better upload the videos here, cause the pictures were already posted in my facebook profile (I'll try upload the videos soon. it keeps crashing don't know why)

Famous landmarks

Let's recall some sweet memories in Venice, Italy.

From:	Milano Centrale	Departs:	Jan 5, 2012 - 12:05PM	EC	#37
To:	Venezia Mestre	Arrives:	Jan 5, 2012 - 2:28PM	Class of Service:	Economy (Seat)

First day at Hotel Ariston:

Hotel ni ada Internet. So banyak syok laaa. Tapi it is not free, though. It costs us like 5euro kot for two nights. Oklah, we thought that it was worth the money, so voila, adalah internet connection. Jadinya, bila dapat internet, perangai biasa muncul la, malas nak keluar jalan-jalan and stuff. Eventhough kami sampai awal kat hotel, around 3-pm, tapi sebab nya 'tragedi' di Milan tu, and also memang rasa restless sangat-sangat, we all decided to stay at the hotel for that night. Nasib baik makanan dah beli. Good plan!

Second day,

Malam tu dah rest puas-puas, so that morning, after complimentary breakfast (YAY INCLUDED) kami pun gerak pegi Venezia. Actually, kitorang macam salah book hotel, sebab it is better to stay at the island, so nak sight-seeing senang. Because from Mestre (our hotel's place) to Venezia (the island, tourist spot) took us about 15-30 minutes kot by bus. But whatever it is, dah sampai pun and travel takla menyusahkan or whatsoever.

macam pasar malam lah ni actually

We bought the day pass that cost around 16 euro for both bus an water-bus. Nampak macam mahal, tapi memang senang and puas hati. Travel kat Venice ni mostly atas air, so waterbus was a great choice. Antara attraction yang dah di-list kan by our travel agent Mr. Zaim are:

St. Marks Basilica, Piazza San Marco, Doges Palace, Grand Canal, Rialto Bridge& Market, Arsenal.

We managed to go almost all kot, tapi dalam list ni ada miss satu tempat yang tersangatlah best, which is Murano Island. Kat situ ada glass-making souvenir yang famous. So memang our first stop pegi Murano Island, shopinng sikit (sikit je ok :P) and then inilah masanya nak taste Italian food. Sebab esoknya dah nak pegi Barcelona pulak, so ini last chance ni!!

After survey-survey, last-last dapat jugak jumpa satu cafe yang offer 3-course-meals for 18 euro kot. Tak sure la the exact harga. Actually ada kawan dah pesan cuba cari yang 15 euro, tapi memang tak jumpa lah pulak. The meals was fabulous!! Ada pasta, then fried seafood, and lastly fries. Kami tambah lagi satu dessert which costs around 4 euro. Mahal kot, tapi sebab sedap punya pasal Gelato kat situ, sanggup ni. Ala sekali-sekala kan :)

So, dah makan, dah shopping, memang puas hati. Sweet memories in Venice memang tak dapat nak lupa lah. If given the chance, I would really love to visit Venice again, but maybe this time with family and the love ones. Dah kata kota romantika :P hehe

Life is like a movie

2012-02-16T21:50:00.001-05:00

I dont know why, but every single day I kept thinking about that one thing. Always in my mind. Sesak minda. Hard to describe, and definitely not easy to hold on to. Kenapa ek? For sure there's a reason, but I just can't understand why. Too much drama is also not good, you know. Kadang-kadang rasa bila lah semuanya nak settle, have a clear pathway in front of me, and pooof, all problems gone. But that is just impossible. Mana ada perfect plans. Mustahil kan?

There's no reason for you not to smile :)

2012-02-15T22:50:00.001-05:00

Smile is a language of Love...

Smile is a way to get success...

Smile is to win the hearts...

Smile improves ur personality...

Smile is infact a SUNNAH !!!...

So, keep smiling !!! :)

So I googled Why Men Don't Listen on discovery.com

2012-02-15T21:32:00.000-05:00

This is the piece that I found:

9: Men Don't Listen (the Same Way Women Do)
The idea that we use only 10 percent of our brain is a persistent myth. What's not a myth, however, is that men use just one side of their brain to listen, while women use both sides. When men listen, the left side of the brain, which is associated with language, is activated, while both sides activate when a woman listens [source: BBC ].
Listening is but one task in which women seem to use their interconnected sides of the brain in ways that men don't. This doesn't imply that women are better listeners -- it just indicates that men and women listen differently. Because women are using more language processing centers, they may be able to multitask when it comes to conversing; they can surf the Web and chat at the same time. Men, on the other hand, may need to focus solely on the conversation at hand to process it, which may account for the numerous magazine articles that advise not bringing up a touchy subject during the big game.
Research from the University of Sheffield in England also indicates that men process women's voices differently than they do men's voices, perhaps because the women's voices are more complex and convey more information. When men listen to women's voices, it activates a part of the brain that processes the sound of music, but when they listen to men's voices, it activates a part of the brain that's associated with imagery [source: Epstein ]. Women's voices have more complex sound frequencies, but don't let a man use that as an excuse for not listening. It just means that you shouldn't assume that your guy has heard and understood the exact same thing that you just did.

Interesting facts!

2012-02-15T21:27:00.000-05:00

Fun Facts about the use of mirror

A woman spends an average of 2 years of her life time looking at herself in the mirror; a man spends 6 months.
However, men look at a reflection of themselves as often as women do; it is just that women take longer looks due to more necessary maintenance a woman has to do in front of a mirror.

Why Men don't listen?

Women should not blame men for “not listening.” It is not their fault—this is the scientific explanation according to Discovery.com. Since women’s voices have many more frequencies than men’s, the human brain must work harder to analyze sound frequencies and comprehend the meaning intended.

Gender Psychology

Men change their minds two to three times more often than women. Most women take longer to make a decision than men do, but once they make a decision they are more likely to stick to it.
Women are better than men at remembering faces, especially of females.
The female brain is much more adept at reading subtle facial and verbal emotional expressions. Some woman say that only when men see actual tears they realize that something is wrong. This is why women have to cry four times more than men do, to signal distress.

Wish me luck for Language and Gender midterm tomorrow :D

Apps baru yang WOW

Baru discover satu apps kat appstore yang gila best ah. Trollollol ke camne tah eja dia. So bosan bosan sikit mainlah apps ni kan tadi. Maaflaa pada gamba2 yang jadi mangsa troll haha

Song of the Week

2012-02-14T21:23:00.000-05:00

Kau buat ku teruja

Kau buat ku tertawa

Terbit rasa tersembnyi beku

Hingga rasa cemburu seperti

Pasangan kekasih yang hangat bercinta

Dan tak sanggup berpisah

Walau hanya sekejap

Aku sangat merindui kau

Senang sekali kau ada

Tapi bagaimana ku kata padanya

Dia yang ada seperti tiada

Dengan dia cinta jadi sebuah ritual

Haruskah aku kejam demi rasa

Tolong lepaskanku dari sengsara ini

Dia bukan tak cantik

Dia bukan tak baik

Hanya kekosongan yang ada

Di sudut hatiku tak bisa diusik

Hingga cinta jadi kematu

Tiada yang nak gaduh

Tiada yang nak tentang

Hingga rasa menjadi kering kontang

Tapi bagaimana ku kata padanya

Dia yang ada seperti tiada

Dengan dia cinta jadi sebuah ritual

Haruskah aku kejam demi rasa

Tolong lepaskanku dari sengsara ini

Tapi bagaimana ku kata padanya

Dia yang ada seperti tiada

Dengan dia cinta jadi sebuah ritual

Haruskah aku kejam demi rasa

Bagaimana harus ku kata padanya

Dia yang ada seperti tiada

Dengan dia cinta jadi sebuah ritual

Haruskah aku kejam demi rasa

Tolong lepaskanku dari sengsara ini

Kenapa?

2012-02-13T21:38:00.000-05:00

Kenapa cerita Vanilla-Coklat ni best sangat? Muahaha. Seriously tengok all-together 8 episod dalam masa dua hari. Tu pun kalau tak sehari je boleh habiskan semua, tapi sebab sekolah and ada homework, so kita jangan tamak ye rakan-rakan. Then, bila dah habis masih tak rasa bosan nak ulang-ulang cerita tu sampai dah boleh hafal.

Kenapa ye situasi dalam cerita tu macam....macam....macam best. Kalau lah jadi kat myself, tak tau lah nak cakap apakan. Haritu sembang-sembang, biasalah girl talks sikit, terus terfikir. Erm, what do you think of arranged marriage? So far memang mungkin my answer, terima je lah kot. Sebab memang takde calon pun kan hihi. Tapi depends gak. Macam-macam consideration yg nak dibuat.

Ahhhh sudah. Hentikan cerita kahwin-kahwin ni. Lambat lagiiii kot. I baru nak masuk duapuluhsatu youuuu. Jauh lagi perjalanan hidup sebagai student, anak, dan juga 'wanita' bekerjaya. Nak jadi isteri tu memang taklaaa kot. So far. Hehe

Gaduh lagi pelisss

10 Days till the big two one

2012-02-11T00:11:00.003-05:00

Dulu kalau birthday mesti meriah semacam. Buat makan makan. Ada banyak hadiah. Banyak kawan datang. Ni masa umur 3-5 tahun la.

Lepas tu dah besar sikit makin kurang jemputan, tapi kek harus ada. Wajib. That's the peak point of my birthday la. Hadiah pulak? Kurang sikit, sebab quality lagi penting dari quantity hehehehe.

Sekolah menengah? Meriah dengan kawan-kawan. Havoc dengan ucapan. Hangat dengan pelukan. Miss those moments. Hmmm. Pastu family pasti datang celebrate sekali on weekends. Tak pernah setahun pun miss. Love them all.

College life? BEST SURPRISE EVER!!! Tak penah lupe my cry that day, sbb terharu sangat. And that year jugak sambut birthday sampai dua, tiga kali sebab sambut dengan kawan, lepas tu family pulak. Tiramisu Secret Recipe was my favorite back then.

That was my teens life. Last year, 2011 was my first year dalam lingkungan twenty's pulak. Nothing special, nothing extraordinary. Just shared the moments with best buddy around Toronto and family via skype. No more cakes or presents. I guess thats how adulthood begin.

Let see this coming 10 days. My 21st birthday on 21st Feb in 2012. Such lucky number 2 and 1 I hope :D

Reading Week is coming up!

2012-02-09T21:09:00.000-05:00

Excited.

Nak pegi jalan.

Jalan dengan kawan-kawan.

Harap tiada halangan cabaran mendatang.

Moga semuanya aman tenteram dalam perancangan.

Love Story

#MyProblemIs

2012-02-09T21:02:00.000-05:00

#MyProblemIs : I get super-duper jealous so easily. Like, it is actually not a big deal, but I take that seriously.

#MyProblemIs : Tend to misunderstood people's intention, let it be the good one, or bad one. Fragile heart I believe.

#MyProblemIs : Might be a bit selfish sometimes, like I weigh the positive effects on myself first, before others.

#MyProblemIs : It is so freaking hard for me to say NO to anybody. I also tend to 'beralah' in arguments, eventhough 10 minutes later, I immediately regrets what I'm doing. *sigh*

#MyProblemIs : Hard to control what I should "pendam" and "luah". Like sometimes, I think that I talk too much about something that I decided earlier which MUST be a secret between me myself. Tapi, sometimes jugak rasa penat dah pendam banyak-banyak, and bila others judging you, you really like crying em'all out :(

#MyProblemIs : I am too dependent in others....

#MyProblemIs: forgetful....keys, stuffs, directions and the list go on...

Saat itu

2012-01-31T00:26:00.000-05:00

Ku terkenang saat itu

Adakah ku mampu?

Mungkin itu yang terbaik :')

It's the bitter truth

Because of you

2012-01-31T00:18:00.000-05:00

Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me

Because of you, I am afraid
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh, every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

To be ignored and ignoring

2012-01-31T00:03:00.000-05:00

Just a random rant from me:

feels like forever since we've talked
i'm disappointed in you, but mostly in myself :(
you seem to be a bit selfish, don't you think?
considerate is the key. period.
to fake a smile is the hardest thing to do right now. seriously :"(
maybe it's just me. just me and my mixed emotion. as usual, you always right. never wrong. never.

I'm angry but confuse at the same time T_T

Europe Trip Part 1

2012-01-21T03:53:00.001-05:00

London, UK - Flight from Toronto sampai ke bumi London awal pagi. Dalam pukul 9.30 am. Ketibaan kami disambut oleh pak cik taxi yang telah di-book khas oleh Mak Yong, dan first time rasa excited sebab ada orang yang sambut di arrival hall dengan kertas yang tulis "Farah Syazwani". Mula-mula sampai London terkejut jugak sebab tak sangka weather agak sejuk, plus gloomy sepanjang hari. Mulut memang berasap-asap, but actually tak de lah sejuk sangat pun.

From Gatwick Airport to Mak Yong and Pak Yob's house is about 1 hour 15 mins. Tertidur kami dalam kereta sebab masih penat dari flight yang 7 jam itu. Tapi, sampai-sampai je rumah, terus makan-makan, letak beg, and contact sesiapa yang patut. And Emy, kawan Maryam ajak jumpa on that day jugak sebab esoknya dia nak balik.

So, kami pun terus keluar ke bandar, more accurately, Oxford Street sebab situ memang famous dengan shopping and sale. To make it even better, hari kami sampai ialah hari boxing day, which is an occasion people go out and spent their money like there's no tomorrow -.-'

Turns out, banyak jalan tutup, banyak line subway/metro/train yang not operating as usual sebab ada strike. London, London....time kami datang ni lah jugaknya nak ada strike bagai. Tapi takpe, kami tidak berputus asa [cewahhh], lalu tetap cari jalan macam mana nak keluar town. Akhirnya berjaya sampai, berjaya rembat coffee starbucks, and just a few sale items. Tak banyak sangat pun shopping. Ramai sangat orang plus ada tragedy pulak happened on that day. Ada youth kena stab kat that street, which makes some of the stores to be closed and police was all over the place.

And worst, central line kat London tu [tube-line] pulak only operate sampai 6pm, and kami terpaksa balik awal and rehat awal for first day in London. Tak sempat pegi sight-seeing ape pun, tapi still pengalaman yang berbaloi sebab dapat tengok gelagat manusia yng rakus membeli-belah, juga dapat menyaksikan pertemuan dua sahabat [Maryam & Emy] di London. :)

The crowd

Oxford Street

London day two will be continued......

My favourite place :)

A very nice view from Villa Rothschild

The 'palace'

BEATRICE EPHRUSSI DE ROTHSCHILD - THE HISTORY
Born in 1864, Béatrice was the daughter of the banker and major art collector Baron Alphonse de Rothschild. At 19 years old, she married Maurice Ephrussi, a Parisian banker originally from Russia who was a friend of her parents and 15 years her senior. The marriage quickly turned to disaster for Béatrice, as she caught a serious illness from Maurice which prevented her from having children. Maurice was a big gambler and in 1904 his debts amounted to more than 12 million gold francs, the equivalent of 30 million euros today. Worried about the future, the Rothschild family decided to take Maurice to court to demand a separation. They won the case and, in June 1904, after 21 years of marriage, Béatrice de Rothschild and Maurice Ephrussi were separated.

The following year, Béatrice’s father died and she inherited a vast fortune. It was at this time that she decided to build the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild. She made this her winter residence from 1912 onwards and came here regularly for over ten years, during which she split her time between Paris, Monaco and Deauville.
In 1933, one year before her death, Béatrice bequeathed her Villa and all of her collections to the Académie des Beaux-Arts.

Yeay exam dah habis!!

2011-12-20T23:36:00.001-05:00

Finally, habis jugak final exams for this fall term. Eventhough ada dua je paper, tapi still berat sangat both subject, and both might affect my chosen programs which are Anthropology and Linguistic. I am so into Linguistic lately, sampai pernah terfikir nak change major, but naaaa, maybe not. Buat minor pun jadilah. And I am determined to take any Language courses, especially the one I have in my mind right now. FRENCH! Oh yeah!

These 5 days will be too hectic and packed for me. Only five days left till our vacation, and still tak pack barang apa pun. Baru print out tickets and stuffs just now, and realise that we could easily lost in town kalau takde map etc. Risau sangat :( Pastu tengok metro/subway station for each city memang complicated bagai. Kan senang macam Toronto, bentuk U then ada 2,3 je inter-change station.

Rasa memang unprepared la nak pegi berjalan-jalan jauh ni. Mentally and physically. Badan jadi letih semacam after exam period, sebab tak cukup rehat and quality sleeps. And worst, first time ever ada eye-bag!! Arghh tak suka. Nasib baik sehari je hilang. Pheww~

Whatever it is, lega yang finally dah start holiday. Alhamdulillah and may everything turns out well, insyaAllah :)

How the word "blog" formed?

2011-12-17T18:46:00.000-05:00

I am studying for my Linguistic midterms, and then I came across an interesting process called 'clipping'. It is a process that shortens a polysyllabic word by deleting one or more syllables. Complicated huh? Okay, here are some examples: prof for professor, burger for hamburger, psych for psychology and many more.

So, recent clip that people's recognized and use widely is 'blog', from Web log - a personal website-based log of events, comments, and links. Once formed, blog quickly appeared in compounds (blog archive, blog-sphere) and also undergone conversion to a verb (as in 'things to blog about').

Also, the verb has undergone derivation, resulting in the noun blogger. No wonder that blog was voted as the new word most likely to succeed at the meeting of the American Dialect Society.

p/s: maybe blog in still not recognized as a word by itself cause the wavy-red underline still appears underneath blog. let's wait two, three years and then it should be acknowledged!

Clever!

2011-12-14T21:17:00.001-05:00

Y U NO Study?

2011-12-11T17:56:00.000-05:00

Today was a very nice day. But I had wasted almost half a day by trying to make myself awake and focus on studying for finals. Its too damn hard. So, I decided to find somewhere else to study, because apparently, my room was too comfy. The bed kept calling me and I fell for the "trap" quite easily. Solution, TIM'S HORTON. Not that I do not want to go to library, but for such a windy/cold weather, SF or other library seems too far away :/

Something happened in the lift though, when I was on my way down to Ground floor. It stopped at 7th floor, and suddenly two dogs with their owner almost come to me and they was barking LOUDLY. I was screaming *malu!* but I just said sorry to the owner. It's not that I don't like dogs, I'm scared actually. Even cats, oh so not my type. I'm not Animal Hugger, enuff said. After all, jantung gila berdebar tadi! I think I might have temporary phobia whenever a lift opens at any floor whenever I'm coming down :(

And, the great part was, I finished my target chapters for today (2 hours at Timmy). I'm proud of myself!

me - trying to focus heehee

if you bring your own mug, medium double-double only costs you 1.29$. GREAT HUH!

I studied WITCHCRAFT! Believe it or not :-P

That time of the year AGAIN

2011-12-09T13:13:00.001-05:00

Gila la bukak 9gag tak boleh stop gelak! Camne nak siapkan reading twelve chapters plus 1 whole research paper in a week? *die*

Sugar Cookies Sensation

2011-11-25T00:11:00.000-05:00

1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
a bit of vanilla extract
chocolate chips

Method: Mixed all the ingredients well. Easy peasy =)

Tetiba je buat cookies ni tanpa dirancang.... Pegi dapur nak masak air, nampak brown sugar dan tepung memanggil-manggil. Terus capai bowl, amek measuring cups, and VOILA! Jadilah cookies ini half an hour later. How its taste? Not so bad I guess hehe. It's my second trial of making cookies. Just a bit too sweet for me. But hey! We need our sugar once a while right? =D

Zzzzz

2011-11-23T05:49:00.001-05:00

First time tak tidur malam. Reason?

Balik dari sekolah terus tidur dari pukul 8.30 sampai 12 malam
Terjaga je terus minum Nescafe makan maggi. Memang segar!
Banyak sangat benda tak study. Too much time wasted on inappropriate activities
Layan Kuch Kuch Hota Hai malam-malam (or pagi?) buta sangat best!
Saje je try stay-up.

So far dah pukul 5 pagi, sikit lagi nak masuk Subuh. Actually masih tak mengantuk tapi nak paksa diri tidur sebab esok ada study group pukul 3 petang, then lecture from 6pm to 9pm. Kalau pening kepala esok pagi, tak tau la..aiyoook....

And today dah happy sikit setelah 4/5 hari rasa down je. Tu yang tak dapat focus study and asyik makan tengok movie tidur je. Bila lah nak insap. :/

Btw, ada test next week. Subject Islam. Tapi tak senang pun macam Pendidikan Islam kat sekolah tu. Bapak mencabar course ni. Banyak reading and new knowledge. Then, the next week (last day of class) and ada test and essay 5-10 pages due on the same day. DIE DIE DIE sebab tak start lagi.

Seterusnyaaaaaa........WINTER BREAK YO! Holiday!! Paling tak dapat sabar! Now, kalau rasa penat belajar, bukak itinerary and baca trip's plan, terus rasa bersemangat.

Semoga I'll go through this semester dengan jayanya, God willing :)

2011-11-15T23:46:00.000-05:00

Life getting busy every single day. Tahun ni banyak ambil half-year course, so kena concentrate lebih sebab dah nak final. Quite lega for some class sebab dah habis term paper, essay etc, just tinggal final exam. Tapi nak study untuk final memang mencabar sungguh. Bukan tak nak start awal, tapi nanti mesti lupa. Alasan cliché, i know. But I cant help it la. Macam next two weeks ada test 2 untuk subject Islam. Tak start study pun ni :'( Risau sangat sebab last test i did badly. I mean like, real BAD. Kena step-up usaha ni! Eventhough ambik 4 courses je this term, but the workload still sometimes unbearable. Tak tau la macam mana nak handle 6 courses next semester. Aishhh. Dah Farah, jangan mengeluh.

Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple,

In desperate needs for motivation

2011-10-31T19:58:00.001-04:00

When life gets stressful, we often forget the things we should remember, and remember the things we should forget.

Minggu yang penuh dengan midterms baru je dua minggu berlalu. Tapi, tak bermakna life's getting better. Sama je busy dengan essays, in-coming tests dan jugak other non-academic activities. Lately suka nak mem-busy-kan diri dengan aktiviti luar such as Islamic talks, cooking class, making new friends etc etc.

Result pun semakin banyak yang keluar. So far tak memberansangkan, in a way tak capai target nak dapat A. Haruslah bersyukur apa yang ada kan.Seolah-olah kembali pada zaman sekolah menengah, bilamana lulus subjek elektif pun kira syukur. That time memang tau kemampuan diri tak boleh coop dengan subject science (bio/phy/chem/+math). Tapi sekarang, eventhough ambik art stream pun, still tak boleh nak score dengan jayanya makes me wonder, WHAT ACTUALLY I'M GOOD AT?

For now, my major is Anthropology and minor-ing in Linguistic. Frankly speaking, sangat enjoy belajar linguistic. It is something that based on fact, you have to memorised some concepts, applied them on examples given, and boom, you score your assignment. Kalau Anthro's subjects pulak, banyak essay, critical thinking, analysis, reading, so on so on. Setakat ni memang boleh bawak lagi, tapi susahlah nak membantu tinggikan CGPA.

Sangat runsing. Banyak isu yang lately dibincangkan among us. Takmau cakap what is the issue, but cukuplah untuk kata yang isu orang semakin meningkat dewasa, cewah :P Ada je nak cakap pasal that thing dalam sehari. Sampai jerawat pun naik dek kerana pening pikir pasal tu haha! Anyway, kalau boleh taknak pikir dah as umur masih muda, masih banyak benda nak dicapai dalam hidup. Pasal 'tu', nantilah lagi 2-3 tahun pikir balik, baik rakan-rakan.

Another thing to mention here, winter break punya trip dah finalise! Yeeehooo!!! Location dirahsiakan buat sementara waktu, tapi we're still gonna faced the cold sebab pegi tempat yang still tengah winter. Cuma harap-harap the snow takla setebal Canadian winter kan hehe. Perlukan back-pack and tak tahu mana nak beli. I also in desperate need for payung. My current payung dah rosak oleh angin ganas Toronto. :'(

Mana nak cari payung camni ek?

Because this post is so depressed, I'm gonna post some motivation lines below. Just to cheer me up, and those who are reading and kinda depressed too :D

You never know how strong you really are until being strong is the only choice you have.
Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
You cannot change what you refuse to confront.
Nobody is perfect, and nobody deserves to be perfect. Nobody has it easy. You never know what people are going through. Every one of us has issues. So don’t belittle yourself or anyone else. Everybody is fighting their own unique war.
Crying doesn’t indicate that you’re weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you’re alive and full of potential.
No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain.
Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. Let it go.
Making one person smile can change the world. Maybe not the whole world, but their world. Start small. Start now.
Sometimes you need to distance yourself to see things clearly.

It's actually from a very good, motivational website and they have so many inspiring posts for you. The title for the one above is "75 Reminders for Tough Times". You can read the rest here.

Till then, Assalammualaikum :)

Cooking Collaboration with fellow Mathematicians

2011-10-16T13:32:00.001-04:00

Nasi Lemak + Deep Fried Anchovies + Cucumber + Boiled Eggs + Very very mild Sambal

The most happening cooking event ever! Well, it is my first experience after all. We arrived at the New College at 4pm, and while waiting for the host to arrive, I was actually feeling so nervous that my cooking will not turn out good enough. Imagine that you have to cook for 30 people. The only experience I had was cooking for 10 people. Top. Not more than that.

But, well, I had to try my best. Dah tu, nak masak nasi lemak untuk depa, tapi pedas tak boleh. Pening nak alter recipe. It was so hectic day, with only 8 people available to help with the cooking. Worst to come to worst, periuk nasik, blender, semua takde! Kelam-kabut balik rumah ambik. Nasib baik the Math's Union ada kereta, so he drove me all the way to Centre Avenue. Kalau naik TTC, berapa lama pulak nak sampai
(-.-)

So, we start cooking Bubur Jagung and Nasi Lemak dalam pukul 6 camtu. Dengan krisis nasi salah beli, bwg putih takde, garam tah kat mana-mana, memang meletihkan. Despite all those challenges, berjaya jugak settle masak-masak dalam pukul 8.30pm camtu. Kemas-kemas, bawak semua makanan to Bahen Centre, makan-makan with the Professors and Math's Union members, last-last balik pukul 11pm. Nasib baik kena hantar naik kereta. Seriau gak nak jalan malam-malam. Dengan tangan semua penuh angkut blender, periuk, pan, apa bagai lagi lah. Haha.

Overall, PRICELESSSS EXPERIENCE EVER. Thanks Kamil sebab recommend me to this event. And thanks Sang Hee for very wonderful night. And Daniella (Chef for Middle Eastern Cuisine) for preparing such delicious "baklava". Samosa with cheeseee! Heaven!!

Last but not least, to Anhar who was willing to sacrifice her Friday to help me in the kitchen, despite five midterms that she'll be having. Jasamu sangat dikenang :)

P/s: Terlampau penat agaknya Jumaat tu. Memang rasa nak demam esoknya. Hari ni pun sengal-sengal badan. Nak nangis :'( Dengan tiga midterms, plus 1 homework. Pengsan!

Day 22- What makes you different from everyone else

2011-09-29T21:15:00.000-04:00

I have been neglecting this challenge as this question is definitely the hardest one to be answered. As I learned in my Sociology and Anthropology class, human is one unique creature that may or may not have distinct personality. I mean, you sure have heard about how in this whole universe there are 7 people who face are alike. Personally I have been told that I have similar faces to two individual at my old secondary school. Let me show you them.

One of them is my friend, and another one is my lovely teacher :D

These are individuals who people said share the similar face as myself. Yes, No?

Back to the question, what makes me different?

Of course, I could say that personality wise, I am much different from both of them. "I am who I am, and that makes it different". We all may love to smile, but when and to who we share our joy may be totally contrast. In conclusion, I am proud to admit that I love myself and am trying as often as possible to give love to others as well. Love, here is defined as happiness and joy. To end this "small" paragraph, I quote a saying which is for me so beautiful.

Smiling is contagious. It's like catching a flu. Someone smile at me today, and I started smiling too :)

Thank you for reading!

Awesome-est Housemates Ever

2011-09-27T02:06:00.001-04:00

Dear housemates,

I am deeply thankful for all the things we have been through, whether hard or easy, happy or sad, no matter what. The moment we met since Pre-U in Subang, i've know that we were meant to be good friends for each other. For what I've been doing, saying, or acting that may be hurtful or not pleasant, I sincerely hoping for apologies from both of you. Let's plan our vacation soon and hope that our years ahead be a wonderful joy. We shall colours or "dull" life as students so that we may strengthen our friendship forever and ever. May Allah bless our ukhuwah, too.

Thanks again, Anhar and Maryam :)

Love,

Farah Aziz

Second week of school

2011-09-21T21:48:00.000-04:00

Dah jadi cam journal pulak blog ni. Haha. Anyway, many things happened to me this whole week. Eventhough today is only Wednesday, but tomorrow I'll only have one tutorial, so I guess this week is pretty summed up.

Firstly, on Monday ada satu lecture dan jugak satu tutorial for that class. LIN100Y1. Belajar linguistic ni actually lot of fun, especially if we have somebody to discuss the materials together. Luckily, second lecture dah jumpa kawan. I get to admit that I'm a bit shy at first to approach somebody, but it seems that I'll just have to smile at them and tadaaaa, we may start to converse like an old friend. Oh yeah!

Then, on Tuesday pulak kelas memang hectic sangat sangat. After that first lecture at 12pm, I feel like cannot tahan already and terus decide nak drop that course. In fact, masa second half of lecture time dah malas nak amek notes whatsoever. Later that day, terus pegi bookstore and jual my textbook for that class, even before I drop the course. Nekad habis. The rest of the day went as adventure as last week, where we have to like went out early from 4pm class to go to the subway and running all over people semata mata nak kejar the next class. Like, seriously memang exhausted habis. Anyway, the class is worth "running" for sebab as review said, it's an easy course and the professor was totally funny. Enough said.

Lastly, on Wednesday which is today, ada satu lecture je. And the class starts from 6pm to 9pm. Kelas malam. Overall, kelas ni happening sebab finally ada gak sama lecture with both my housemates. Not only that, banyak jugak Malaysian who enroll in this course as well. So, memang tak boring plus the lecturer was also engaging to the students attention.

rasa macam this blog is a nagging blog -.-'

p/s: there is something happened this week that makes me "tersenyum lebar". if you get me :P

Language Matters | An Interesting Phonetic Fact

2011-09-17T15:53:00.001-04:00

***

Words of two syllables are not necessarily longer than words of one syllable.

If we measure the amount of time it takes us to say a word like dad we come up with a length of 520 milliseconds.

The word daddy, though, which is two syllables long, takes only 420 milliseconds.

Try it and see if you agree :)

Malang tak berbau

2011-09-17T06:52:00.000-04:00

Assalammualaikum,

Pembuka cerita nya, macam ni. Masa hari raya aritu, we all sekeluarga pergi lah beraya rumah Mak Long. And her system of cooking gave me some sort of inspiration. Dia akan siap-siap potong semua bawang, halia, etc and then frozen kan those bahan memasak. Jadi, memang save quite a time for cooking. Tambah-tambah student, wajiblah ko rasa cam nak rushing je masak-masak kan. Better read your books kan. KAN? *konon*

Nak dijadikan cerita, Friday kira hari yang aku free jugak la. No class, tutorial etc. Nak study? *Ehem ehem* Malas sikit. Sikit je ah. Tengahari gitu aku pun memulakan misi memotong. Yes.

Bawang yang besar tu kat sini kira bawang merah la. Bawang besar kitorang pakai yang Yellow Onion tu. Yang kecik2 tu ah shallot. Tapi sini shallot dia cam tak elok. Pakai yg besar tu sedap sikit :D

So, bawang yang terlibat dalam peristiwa sadis ni bawang yang paaaaaaling besar tu ha. Nak potong bawang yang besar tu haruslah pakai pisau yang besar kan? Ikut logik la konon. Tetiba, sebab bawang tu macam licin kot, zassss. Terkena la pulak jari ni ha. Rasa seriau nak tengok sebab kitew takut darah hew hew. Tapikan, ekceli, masa kena tak sakit pun. Rasa macam pisau tu lalu je la atas jari ni ha.

Bila ku bawa jari ku ini menghala ke sinki, baru kusedar darah yang mengalir. Aduh :'( Menitik-nitik non-stop. Tak reti ah nak buat camne. Skill PBSM tak penah wujud dalam diri. Ok menyesal haha.

Tergendala la segala misi nak memudahkan kerja. Makin complicated rupanya. Itula dikatakan malang tak berbau. Okay, adik-adik yang nak amik PMR. Sila salin contoh karangan ni sekarang. HAHA.

Bila kena luka baru sedar. Langsung tak ada first aid kit. Bahaya jugak kan. Plaster & Minyak gamat terpaksa mintak ihsan housemate. Ok, kena gi drug mart (pharmacy) cari first aid kit nowwwwww.......

JETLAG

Alhamdulillah harini masuk hari ke-lima berada di bumi Toronto buat kedua kalinya. Eh paham ke ayat ni? Yang penting, penyakit jet lag masih belum sembuh sembuh. Sudah dua malam tak tidur waktu malam. Paling kritikal masa hari Isnin. Lepas kelas habis, terus tidur petang, melarat-larat sampai Maghrib. Dah tu, terjaga balik sebab lapar tak lunch. Then, kenyang tidur balik. Last-last terjaga dari pukul 3 pagi saaaaaampai pukul 6 lebey. Memang tak bagus untuk kesihatan ye.

Ghupe jetlag macam ni ek?

Then, last Sunday ada BBQ organized by Masat. Seronok makan-makan ngan kawan-kawan. Tapi tak sempat nak cerita panjang sebab tunggu makanan punya lama. Tengah sedap makan diorang buat gathering pulak. But no worries, banyak lagi time untuk catch up all hot stories and stuffs hehe. Overal the BBQ was a blast. Cuma sedih takde chicken wings. HAHA.

Lagu Teman

Lagu Teman - The Lion Story Ft Zahidah

Pertama kali kita berjumpa,
Tidak kepastiannya ternyata,
Diriku dipenuhi soalan,
Ku tiada teman..
Aku terlihat insan yang keliru,
Air yang deras mencermin wajahku,
Engkau menjelma memberi harapan,
Menghulur tangan…

Sempena hari mulia Ini,
Aku tersenyum lalu mengimbasi kembali,
Semua yang kerap kita mengadukan,
Kini jadi bahan rindu yang ku simpan…

Detik masa kini kedengaran,
Aku mengucap selamat jalan,
Kepada teman yang sering menghibur dengan gurauan…

Bagaikan anak yang baru dilahir,
Titisan mata pun mulam mengalir,
Di simpang jalan kita menyebut kata terakhir…
Whoaaa.....hoaaaa...

Sempena hari mulia ini,
Aku tersenyum lalu mengimbasi kembali,
Semua yang kerap kita mengadukan,
Kini jadi bahan rindu yang ku simpan…

Ku hargai semua yang terjadi,
Memang nyata dirimu takkan ada pengganti,
Semoga kita dapat bertemu semula,
Kerana aku yakin engkau akan sentiasa
Di hatiku…..

Sempena hari mulia ini,
Aku tersenyum lalu mengimbasi kembali,
Semua yang kerap kita mengadukan,
Kini jadi bahan rindu yang ku simpan….

Ku hargai semua yang terjadi,
Memang nyata dirimu takkan ada pengganti,
Semoga kita dapat bertemu semula,
Kerana aku yakin engkau akan sentiasa,
Di hatiku………

2011-07-06T00:52:00.001-04:00

Solve this riddles, will you?

2011-07-03T23:13:00.000-04:00

Riddle Number One

Bus Driver
A bus driver was heading down a street in Colorado. He went right past a stop sign without stopping, he turned left where there was a "no left turn" sign and he went the wrong way on a one-way street. Then he went on the left side of the road past a cop car. Still - he didn't break any traffic laws. Why not?

ANSWER: He was walking. Not driving :)

Riddle Number 2

Sign and Countersign
Two spies want to get in an enemy's military base.In order to get in they have to give the correct countersign to the guard at the gate after he gives them the sign. So they wait hidden nearby the gate so that they will overhear the countersign from another soldier.

One soldier comes and the guard gives the sign: "6".The soldier answers "3".The guard lets him pass. Another soldier comes.The guard says "12" and the soldier gives the answer "6".The guard lets him pass. So, the first spy goes at the gate and the guard asks says "10".The spy, sure that he knew the answer as he was, says "5". Immediately, the guard shoots him dead.

Then the other spy, who saw that the other spy was killed when he gave the countersign, had now understood what the right answer would be, whatever the guard's sign was.So, he walks to the gate and the guard says "8".The spy gives the correct answer and the guard lets him in. What was the answer that the spy gave?

ANSWER: The answer is "5". The countersign is always the number of letters of the number that the guard gives. ("six" has 3 letters and "twelve" has 6 letters. After the two soldiers passed, the first spy thought the answer was the half of the number that the guard gave (like what you also might have thought), so he answered 5 when the guard said 10, which was wrong as ten has 3 letters)

highlight all (ctrl + a) for the answers

Selamat Mencuba :)

Entri sambungan. Chapter 3 puleeee

2011-07-01T23:15:00.001-04:00

So, lepas kami mandi laut dan karok sampai tengah malam kat entri ni (sila recap), we all meneruskan perjalanan seterusnya ke Taiping pulak. Ayah dah kata pukul 8.15 keluar ye kawan-kawan, last2 8.30 baru terkedek-kedek masuk kereta. Tapi tak kisahlah sebab tengok jadual bas online dari lumut - ipoh ada pukul 9.20pg pun paling awal. So, ayah bawak ronda-ronda pegi tengok port dulu, bawak tengok PLKN Teluk Rubiah etc.

Then sampai bas station manjung dalam pukul 8.55pg. Eh ada bas lah. Ekspres Kesatuan kot. Bas baru, lawa, aircond lagi. Nyesal dorang dtg manjung dulu naik Perak Roadways =.=''

Sebelum pape, camewhore dalam bas itu perlu!

muke ngantuk tak boleh blah

cuba buat buat tak ngantuk ~.~

keje dia asik lapa je. haishh

Then sampai Ipoh dalam pukul 10.30pg. Tengok ada bas pukul 10.45. Terus beli ticket. Shafiq sekali lagi jadi ketua rombongan Cik Kiah, kutip duit beli tiket.

Bas kali ni pun lawa gak. Bas baru etc. Tapi, driver bas nye pemikiran tak macam baru =.='' Tau nak marah orang je kejenya. Beg kitorang yang kecik2 pun kecoh nak suruh letak kat bonet (bas ada bonet?!?) Tapi kitorang buat pekak je. Kali ni sorang pun tak tido. Semua eksaited kemain nak sampai Taiping. Gelak guling guling sambil makan kuih dan keropok dengan perasaan bercampur baur iaitu takut kena marah dengan drebar bas sebab tak boleh makan dalam bas! HAMEK KAU SATU AYAT PANJANG.

conquer satu bas!

posing time! mana drebar bas tak marah.

makan passing-passing. lagila drebar jeling tajam. takut~~

Last last sampai Taiping dalam pukul 12tgh. Perjalanan yang teramat smooth alhamdulillah.

Bersambung...

lagak pelancong. padahal semua orang tepen je punnn

Petua Telinga Masuk Air

2011-07-01T08:43:00.000-04:00

Adoi terseksa kalau jadik macam gini. Baru je semalam masa mandi, terover jirus gitu, tetiba rasa berdengung semacam. Pernah teringat petua nak keluarkan air dari telinga, try try tak jadi. Adoy seksa wey.

tak de lah sampai keluar ikan huhu =.=''

Pastu google jap. kot kot ada petua lain. Jumpa post pasal ni: link asal

Adakah anda mengalami masalah air memasuki telinga anda ketika berenang, mandi. Jika ya ada cara mudah untuk mengatasi masalah ini.. Caranya dengan menggunakan air juga..
Jika telinga anda telah dimasuki air, ambir setitis air ditangan anda dan titiskan ke tempat lubang telinga yang dimasuki air. Dan anda akan rasa sedikit haba dan selepas itu anda sudah mengatasi masalah anda.
Ulang perkara yang sama jika terdapat lagi sedikit sisa air ditelinga anda. Kedudukan kepala mestilah air yang dititiskan tadi dapat memasuki lubang telinga anda tadi.

#Ehsamalah petua kita. hihi. Malam tu, before tido, try lagi sekali. Alhamdulillah kali ni berjaya! Memang rasa sedikit haba. Telinga ai tak berdengung suda. Wooohooo!

Hopefully tips ni berguna. Musim musim panas ni kan banyak orang suka pegi swimming bagai. Sesuai gitu :)

Harry Potter y'all

2011-06-30T22:56:00.000-04:00

Assalammualaikum,

Cuti cuti bosan camni banyak buat kerja kurang berfaedah. Maaflah sebab kerja TAK mendatangkan manfaat biasanya lagi seronok kan. Well can't help it -LAH. Kerja aku sekarang ni duk megulang baca buku Harry Potter. Currently no. 5. "Harry Potter dalam Kumpulan Phoenix". Yes, I know. I only have the Malay version, lame! Tapi tu je ada, layan syok gak. Tengah in a mood sebab tak lama lagi final HP movie nak keluar y'all. Kena khatam balik buku2 HP ni berjuta kali baru rasa puassss.

the book's cover

Lepas da macam bosan baca novel tu, ye la nak habiskan 970 muka surat memanglah menuntut kesabaran bukan kepalang idak? Jadi solution, tengok movie dulu. Lepas sejam tunggu movie Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix di-convertkan ke .mp4 format (sebab nak tengok dalam ipod), aku pun layanlaaa sambil2 makan, sambil2 tunggu mama hantar adik tusyen, bla bla bla...

rasa nak lempang soghang soghang

BUT, yang buat aku marahhhh gila jalan cerita lain bebenoooo. Bak kata Nabil, GRRRRR... yang paling ketara, dorang langsung tak main Quidditch in this movie. Cannot be wey, cannot-la. Sebab Harry was forbidden to play Quidditch by Umbridge, and for me it was one of the important plot. Then masa Hagrid bawak Harry, Ron and Hermione tengok Grawp dalam hutan, also WRONG maaaa. Mana ada Ron sebenarnya. Dia tengah sedap main Quidditch and menang lagi that time. Aishh, salah besar tu. Not to mention many more small details such as Ron and Hermione weren't portray as prefects at all, Sirius showing the Orders picture instead of Mad-Eye Moody, and banyaaaaaak lagi.

Paling tak best, dorang suke ati je tuka plot.

the cute cho chang

Ada ke Cho Chang yang baik, comel, macam ni dorang buat jadi "TUKANG LAPOR" kat Umbridge and the squads about Dumbledore Army tu. It supposed to be Chang's friend, Marietta wey! Salah sangat2 tu. Sebab Harry benci dia seolah olah sebab dia kaki repot. Padahal dorang gaduh sebab Cho Chang jeles kat Harry and Hermione. Furthermore, takde pun scene kat Hogsmeade yang masa Valentine Day tu. Nak tengok yang tuuu :')

Btw, maaflah kalau macam emo overrr pulak. For me this is the worst HP movie among the other 6 sebab buku dia sama je, even maybe more thick than the 7th one, tapi dorang compressed jadik one ridiculous movie. Hermmm. Not likey.

And below ada some interesting trivia about this movie. Source IMDB :)

The Department of Mysteries was the first completely computer-generated set used in the series. Building the set practically was too expensive since an estimated 15000 crystal balls would have been needed, and it would have taken take a lot of time to clean and set them up again between takes.

Tunjuk Ministry of Magic je. Nak tengok jugak St. Mungo Hospital. Takde pun :(

Professor Umbridge, though she teaches in a classroom that has appeared in films two through four, inhabits an office vastly different from those of her predecessors. The set was redressed with "fluffy, pink filigree," including a carpet that cost £50,000 to make, and a number of plates upon which moving kittens were animated in post-production. A 24-hour photo shoot was held to photograph and film the kittens for use on these plates. Even the elegant quill which Umbridge gives Harry to write lines using his own blood was designed by the set designers.

According to the original script, the character of Kreacher was not intended to be in this film at all. But after J.K. Rowling read the script, she more or less insisted on him needing to be there to avoid some serious problems with future installments of the series. Though Kreacher has no noticeable impact on the plot or story as it's presented in the film, a couple of scenes with him were added at the last minute based on this request.

Bukti dorang suka suka potong watak :(

Although based on the longest book in the seven book series, this is the shortest movie in the Harry Potter film series.

I told you so.

Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why

2011-06-27T08:52:00.000-04:00

Well I can't think of anyone else but my lil sister, Sarah. Saje nak tahu ape rasa jadi anak bongsu pulak kan. Dia selalu je dapat apa yang dia nak :P. Pastu kakak dia ni "bayyek" sangat selalu je bagi pulak tu hihi. Selalunya orang cakap adik manja kan. Tapi in our case, both adik kakak sama je manja ekceli. But still, there's some part of yang always jealous of adik.

Here I listed down several reasons why I would want to switch lives with her:

Rasa rindu nak mengalami zaman sekolah. Tambah tambah sekarang ni cuti semester, langsung takde buku ilmiah nak baca. Rindu pulak nak buat homework etc. Ok tipu!
Boleh buli "kakak". Well kitorang pakai sistem pelik sikit. Adik buli kakak wokayy. Balik sekolah je : KAKLONGGG NAK AIR SEJUKKK. Then before tido: KAKKKLONG JANGAN LUPE GOSOK BAJU ADIKKKK Senang hidup jadik adik kannnn!! D:
Adik ada DSLR. Haritu pegi Taiping dua harik sanggup bayar sewa pinjam kamera dia lagi.
She's good in technical stuff such as edit2 blog lah, photoshop segala bagi, and most of all, dia pandai bawak moto. Nangessss T__T
Nama adik lagi sedap :(( Lawak ah reason ni. Actually dulu pernah terpikir nama Sarah Syazana lagi sedap daripada Farah Syazwani. Watdehek. Tak matang sungguh pemikiran ku tika itu haha!!

Itu je kot reason nya.

Apa-apa pun I doubt adik would never want to change her place with me. NAK KE ADIKKK??

Percutian 3 hari 2 malam bersama kawan-kawan.

2011-06-27T01:02:00.000-04:00

Tajuk nak best je. Tak de lah percutian sangat pun ekceli. Asalnya aku nak pegi Taiping sebab Azizah cuti. Saja tunggu dia supaya dapat jenjalan ramai2 sikit. Then, plan punya plan, berhari hari meeting, last last dorang datang sini pulak. (Read: Dorang = Wanie, Amirah, Azizah, Ain, Shafiq) Plan asal: Datang awal pagi, mandi laut, kemudian pulang semula ke Taiping petang or malam tu.

Jadinya: Ni la Chapter One of our mini vacation together as a group. Mandi laut @ Teluk Batik.

Yang mandi sebenarnya Shafiq ngan Mirah je. Azizah ngan Wanie harap main ombak je kat tepi tepi tu. Aku lagi la, baju pun tak basah heee heee :)

Ni dia mak kitorang.....tukang jaga barang la sebenarnya. Dia takmo mandi!!

Mesyuarat tergempar disaksikan ombak bergelora.

Then lepas mesyuarat tu, semua plan jadi tunggang terbalik. Finally, semua tido umah aku. Wooo best gila. Termasuk ngan shafiq sekali join. Kat rumah nnt da pesan Shafiq kena kurung dalam bilik je takbley kuar haha!!

Chapter Two: Kitorang decided nak karok pulak. Sampai sampai dah pukul 10 malam. Ambik dua jam je, nyanyi la puas puas. Ratu nyanyi sape lagi, Ain lah. Aku pun nyanyi tak sedar diri jugak hehe. Bila Amirah nyanyi je, semua pakat nak lena haha. Lawak lawak!!

posing itu perlu!

duet nyanyi lagu Fireworks kot. berjaya gak habiskan. before this nyanyi dengan adik, tak sempat habis pun dah semput adehhh...

Mirah stress, Azizah feeling habis!

Ain seperti biasa : Penghayatan penting ye!

Lepas Karaoke, ayah belanja semua orang pekena mamak satu!! Balik rumah pukul 1 lebey, gelak gelak tengok tv, last last pukul 3 pagi baru tido.

The End of 1st day.

Maharaja Lawak - Congrats to Sepah.

2011-06-27T00:40:00.000-04:00

Suka gila tengok final Maharaja Lawak haritu. Actually that day Ayah ada friendly futsal tournament. So, balik lambat sikit rumah. Lambat tak lambat la, dalam pukul 11 mlm baru sampai. Dah sejam dah Maharaja Lawak live. Nasib baik ada record that show. So, tengok dari awal, bila iklan cepat-cepat fast forward keh keh. Overall suker gila Sepah punya show that night. Eventho Jozan was not bad, tapi memang no doubt la Sepah punya final performance superb. DAFI terbaekkk!!

Ni gambar ayah main futsal :

Pastu pegi mamak makan roti nan cheese. Adik pulak order choc blended. Sekali tinggi gunung dia bagi hamek kaw!

Memang buat lawak ar mamak tuh.

dulu aku seorang jutawan

kejap ada kejap takde

jangan suka suka belanja

lama2 habis juga

kini aku hidup sendiri

dalam kotak yang kecil ini

Toronto vs. Malaysia

2011-05-17T01:58:00.000-04:00

Ini entry sambungan...

Banyak jugak perbezaan Toronto dengan Malaysia ni. Obviously weather differences. Panas betul kat sini. Tapi, bukan nak berlagak diva ke hape ke dok merungut, mama ayah adik pun merungut sama ok. Maybe sebab heat wave yang dok melanda ni membuatkan suhu lagi la bertambah-tambah panas. Satu lagi, hujan yang turun kat sini, kalau lebat tu memang lebat sungguh. Dulu kat Toronto, hujan dia turun air sejuk. Sini, biasa je la air dia. And bunyi guruh yang WOW! Lama tak dengar wey! Ada jugak sekali tu kat Toronto guruh, tapi, tak se-baBOOM kat sini la.

Second thing, price range also have a hugeeee differences. Dah takde nak pening2 buat Maths everytime nak shopping sebab nak kira add 13% for taxes. Sini, kalau 44.95 hengget dia tulis, itulah harganya. Kalau Toronto, jenuhla kuar kalkulator dulu nak kira2 ehehe... But overall, ada certain items yang Malaysia lagi murah gilerrrr, and ada jugak certain items yang Toronto murah sikitttt.

Then, pasal makanan. Oh heavenly Malaysia!! Makanan oh god....bessssssst!!! You name it. Semua ada. Nak citer something. The first thing I ate masa kat Kuala Lumpur that day, balik2 dari airport, terus makan satay Kajang Haji Samuri. Bayangkan, dah nak pukul 1 pagi, KL meriah lagi. Kalau Toronto lah, lapar2 pukul 12 malam tu, alamatnya korek dapur lah. Paling2 bukak pun, Timmy je yang ada. Oh, memang makanan kat Malaysia tak boleh lawan oh!

Point-point di atas akan disambung di entri akan datang.... :)

Perbezaan Toronto dan Malaysia

2011-05-11T01:15:00.000-04:00

Assalammualaikum semua,

Alhamdulillah setelah hampir 5 hari kat Malaysia, precisely Perak, memang banyak sangat kontra antara these two lovely place. Both do have their own pros and cons actually. So, bawah ni I will list down dulu antara obvious differences ok.

The Weather [obviously]
Food Choice
Price range
Traffic
Consumer rights
Hygiene

Tu je kot yang teringat setakat ni. And, insya allah i'll discuss a little bit about each one of those in my next post.

From my home sweet home,

My "Adventurous" Ride at Centre Island

2011-04-29T00:29:00.002-04:00

Assalammualaikum,

Dah malam sangat ni. Esok nak kena bangun awal pegi Niagara Falls. So, tak boleh citer bebanyak. Nah, tengok je dulu video ni :

SERATAS 23

2011-04-27T15:10:00.000-04:00

Sayu hati tengok video ni balik. Teringat-ingat kenangan manis, pahit, tawar, masin, semualah. Bila nak jumpa lagi dengan korang semua? Please please buat reunion JOM tahun ni...hehe

Teringat lagi, masa hari last kat tengah asrama tu, budak pompuan form five semua buat bulatan and salam masing-masing. Dah habis salam ukhwah tu semua, kat BG pasang pulak lagu Memori Tercipta. Memang pakat nyanyi ramai-ramai sambil nangis. Wahhh, tak dapat kulupa....

Bergetar jiwa dipersada bercahaya
Pertemuan harapan pertama kalinya
Bergetar jiwa menghadapi mimpi-mimpi
Sukar dipercaya pintunya terbuka

Di sini jua memori tercipta
Walau seketika terjalin kasih kita
Mungkin disini kita kan terpisah
Kenangan bersama tiada kulupa

Mengalun suara sesuri bisikan hati
Seiringan mencari haluan berseni
Bergetar jiwa menghadapi mimpi-mimpi
Tiada pon terduga pintunya terbuka

Di sini jua memori tercipta
Walau seketika terjalin kasih kita
Mungkin di sini kita kan terpisah
Kenangan bersama tiada ku lupa

Yang terpahit jua termanis
Semuanya bagiku terindah
Kuingati buat selama-lamanya

Di sini jua memori tercipta
Walau seketika terjalin kasih kita
Mungkin disini kita kan terpisah
Kenangan bersama tiada kulupa

Mungkin disini kita kan terpisah
Kenangan bersama (3x)
Mungkin disini kita kan terpisah
Kenangan bersama tiada kulupa

[Memori Tercipta lirik on http://lyricsmusicvideo.blogspot.com ]

I love both pictures.

I am blessed to have such a supportive family, who would do anything for me, and I promise, to never break their heart. I will study hard until I get my degree and make my PARENTS proud.

Another 8 days to go until my another journey back home, for a long, awaited vacation. I will make full use of this summer break, as I might not be able to spend 4 straight months in Malaysia for next years (i'm planning to take summer school + holiday all over the world).

I LOVE YOU MAMA AYAH ADIK *heart*

Keindahan Matematik....Subhanallah

2011-04-23T15:12:00.001-04:00

Cakap pasal Math, aku lama dah kot tinggal Math ni. Last sekali form five lah. Cuma sekarang ni buat math tambah tolak darab bahagi sebab aku pegang duit rumah and nak buat montly budget. Tapi, lepas baca satu notes menarik ni kan facebook, rasa alangkah ruginya aku dah tinggal subject Math. Rindu pulak nak bertungkus lumus guna formula buat soalan Add Math...Paling-paling kitorang dalam kelas Econs buat jugak lah kira-kira, tapi mostly dah hafal jalan kerja, and nombor pun sama je. Menghafal sajelahhhh...

Tengok ni:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 x 8 + 1 = 9

12 x 8 + 2 = 98

123 x 8 + 3 = 987

1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876

12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765

123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654

1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543

12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432

123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

1 x 9 + 2 = 11

12 x 9 + 3 = 111

123 x 9 + 4 = 1111

1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111

12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111

123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111

1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111

12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111

123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

9 x 9 + 7 = 88

98 x 9 + 6 = 888

987 x 9 + 5 = 8888

9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888

98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888

987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888

9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888

98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Hebatkan?

Dan cuba lihat simetri ini:

1 x 1 = 1

11 x 11 = 121

111 x 111 = 12321

1111 x 1111 = 1234321

11111 x 11111 = 123454321

111111 x 111111 = 12345654321

1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321

11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321

111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321

Sekarang tengok ini

101%Dari sudut pandangan matematik :

Apakah ia sama dengan 100%?

Adakah ia bermaksud LEBIH dari 100%?

Kita selalu mendengar orang berkata dia beri lebih dari 100%?

Kita selalu dalam situasi di mana seseorang mahukan kita BERIKAN SEPENUHNYA 100%

Bagaimana nak MENCAPAI 101%?

Apakah nilai 100% dalam hidup?

Mungkin sedikit formula matematik di bawah boleh membantu mendapatkan jawapannya.

Jika:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTU VWXYZ

Digambarkan sebagai:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Jika:

KERJA KERAS

11 + 5 + 18 + 10 + 1 + 11 + 5 + 18 + 19 + 1= 99%

H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K

8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

Dan:

Knowledge

11 +14 +15 +23 + 12 5 +4 +7 + 5 = 96%

Serta

SIKAP

19 + 9 + 11 + 1 + 16 + 4 + 9 + 18 + 9= 96%

Dalam Bahasa Inggeris;

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E

1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

Sikap diri atau attitude adalah yang utama untuk mencapai 100%. Jika kita bekerja keras sekalipun tetapi jika tiada attitude masih belum dapat 100% lagi.

Tapi

LOVE OF GOD

12 +15 +22 +5 +15 + 6 +7 +15 +4 = 101%

atau

SAYANG ALLAH

19 + 1 + 25 + 1 + 14 + 7 + 1 + 12 + 12 + 1 + 8 = 101%

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WOW HEBAT BUKAN??
