Gong Xi Fa Cai (heh, lmbat skit)

Fa Cai (發財) is to become rich or to make money. Thus, Gong Xi Fa Cai means wishing you to be prosperous in the coming year.

And, it does make me become richer, coz I got ang pau laa. On da 1^st day of CNY, we went to visit some of our family’s Chinese friends.

This was when I learnt about mutual respect. Although we were different races and believe, we still can respect each other. At a house dat we visited, the aunty told us dat she only use the same plates and glasses every year for CNY. “I only took it out for CNY only for my Muslim friends,”. See, how they won’t mix they plates with ours n really respect our religion. Itu yg kita maw. 

 

At another house, we had the opportunities to witness a lion dance performance accompanied by the deafening sound of the drums. It wasn’t my 1^st tyme, but it is my 1^st tyme to watch a ritual where the lions will dance around da house to get rid out da BAD LUCK from the house. Kasi ONG!

As we all know, in the Chinese calendar, this year is the RABBIT year. One of the Amoyy told us dat dis year will be a rough year and will be better towards the end. She shared a lots of their believes about the Chinese zodiac.  

People who are born in the DRAGON year, their life are very easy. Other people will come to help them and they are very well respected by others. Very, very ong. Dats why many of Chinese parents want to have baby next year which will be the DRAGON year. Eg, my atuk.

People who are born in the HORSE year, they need to work very hard in when they are young and will duduk senang-lenang when they grow older. Eg, my nenek.

People who are born in the GOAT year, are very perfectionist. Eg, my Mama.

People who are born in the DOG year, are very loyal and love by other people. Eg, my bro, Alif.

People who are born in the ROOSTER year, are very good with calculations and will easily love something or someone. Eg, myself and all my friends who are born in 1993. 

My advice, love to Allah is eternal :)

SELAMAT JALAN,

On 1^st of February 2011, bibik Siti (her name was Siti Aminah Karnadi, from Semarang, Jawa Tengah) had departed to Jakarta on flight AK 0384. Bibik Siti was my maid. She took care of us since I was in Standard One, a total of 11 years! Very, very long tyme kn? Many were astonished by how long she stayed with us.

I still remembered my 1^st maid, Kak Son, org Madura. And I do still remember that she was very GARANG. Oh, kterg tak berani nak mintak pape kat dye, ikut je dye cakap ape. Klu dye ikat rambut kterg, pehh! Saket gle. She will ikat really2 ketat, yg tahap mcm nak tercabut rambut. Duhh, we were still kids kot. (me bout 3, my sis bout 2). Nak complain pown tak reti. After a few while, dye berhenti bekerja to get married (thank God!).

Next was this maid which I barely remembered her name, with short curly hair. She was very young, a teenager to be precise, only bout 19. At first I adore her. Simply bcoz we had the same interest; music vdeo clips on NTV7 (Barbie girl song n Kris Dayanti’s-it were wickedly famous at dat tyme) which was on air everyday at the same time. One day, as usual, “We are Barbie girls….”. So, I turn up da volume. Strange. Da maid was not to be seen. Mybe she was busy with da laundry. Biarlah. I enjoyed da song till the end, still she was not there. I got curious. I searched high n low (meaning upstairs n downstairs, get it?haha) still tarak ada. Her room was locked. I knocked, and banged da door. Sensing sumthing was not ryte, I called nenek. She came with the driver. Uncle th pown struggled to open da door, and succeed. There was nobody in the locked maid’s room and the cupboard was empty. The back door was left opened. Bongokkkkk gle! Minah th gi lari ngan boyfriend dye. Tergamak gle dye tinggalkan bdak 6 thun ngan adek dye 5 thun mcm th je. Aku BENCI gle dye.

Since dat, Mama planned to get an older maid (so dat she won’t run off with her stupido boyfriend, though no matter what age, klu dah GATAL th mmg tak bleh nk bwat pe la). Dat’s how Bibik came to our life. I should be grateful to hv her as our maid kn? She did all the laundry, cooking, taking care of my sis, etc. But, NO. Hanie was so heartlessly mean to her.

“BIBIK! Nak air sirap.”

“BIBIK! Takde lauk laen ke? Asek lauk nh je. Boring la.”(dat tyme to me, lauk yg sedap is telur mata kerbau ngan kicap je)

“BIBIK! Sy maseh mengantok la, knape kjot sy pagi2?”(utk gi skola, so dat tak tertinggal bas)

“BIBIK! Esok bekal bawak roti telur dgn cheese taw”(everyday b4 tido msti bg menu kt bibik nk mkn pe esok pagi)

“BIBIK! Amekkn buku agama. Ish, bibik nh buku agama la, takkan tak taw?” (mmg la dye xtaw, dye blaja smpai drjh 3 je)

“BIBIK! Tolong bwat kn homework sy, sy nak tgk cartoon la. Ish tulisan bibik burok la, takpe la, bwat je. Bkan org taw pown.” (yup, I made her to do my homework. Got caught by Mama. End of story. Haha).

I can only describe it into words, but it was worse than dat. Actually, I kinda lupa pown what I’ve done to bibik. Yelah, tyme th pown bdak2 lg, mne nk ingat sgt. But otw to LCCT, the story was told. Mak datok, teruk gle ak dulu. Hearing da story, I just laughed (some were nervous laughs gak la.heehe). Tp ayat dye yg maseh terngiang-ngiang di telingaku adalah “ Waduh, Hanie dulu lebih teruk dari Dina (my sis). Bibik slalu sabar aja dimarahin sama dia. Bibik slalu mikirin apa yg akn terjadi sama Hanie nnt. Tapi, Alhamdulillah la, bila udah besar udah jd baik.”

Bibik dh berhenti kje coz dye nk blek gi berubat kat Indon. Kos perubatan  kat Msia lg tinggi coz she’s a foreigner. Tyme tgh SPM, she got a heart attack. She also has serious gastric. She is one of the MOST PATIENT person I’ve ever met. (Thank you very, very much). Obviously la she won’t be reading dis blog kn? (rumah dye phone rumah pown takde) Tp I’ve always prayed to Allah so she’ll heal and can get back to work. “Bibik sbnarnya masih mau kerja, tp cuma ada halangan kesihatan bibik. InsyaAllah jika bibik udah sihat, aku mau kembali kerja di Malaysia”. So, let’s pray n hope dat she will be blessed with health :)

bibik ialah yg bju biru tudung biru, yg tudung hitam th jd supervisor kt rmah :]

DIY in progress

I looked around me. Hmm, my bedroom looks dull la; it needs a make-over. Before this I didn’t get much tyme to decorate my bedroom as I spend most of my tyme at skol. Klu my bilik and KELLY kat skola dulu, cun ohhh. Very colourful bedsheets and carpets, mcm2 dh kterg tampal kat dinding. Our room very meriah, yet very cozy. Kterg ade byk binatang peliharaan. Ade kura2, anjing, Barbie, pinky- love2, setan-gendut and pinky-bday-teddy. 

So, nak bwat pe ngan my bedroom? Rase macam nak cat je bilik, tp macam malas and leceh la. Nk psg wallpaper? Baek ak spend dwit th utk bende laen. Since I’m currently unemployed and not yet a college student, I have LOTS of tyme. Kadang2 smpai mati akal nak bwat pe kat rmah. Haih.

Yess! Got an idea. Ade dis one bag yg pnuh ngan brochures which I got from the EDU FAIR kat KLCC tempoh hari. Daripada buang begitu saja, saya akan menggunakannya untuk sesuatu yang berfaedah dan utk menjadi seorg yg environmental friendly.hahaha. I’m going to make my own DIY curtain-blinds from it. Sbnrnye dapat idea tyme pegi INDONESIA last year-it’s a skol trip. We visited stu tempat yg they make pretty stuff from brg2 terbuang. The curtain-blinds I’ve mention is as pic below:

Cik Nabilah, silalah berasa BANGGA krn anda telah menjadi MODEL dalam blog sy  ;)

Disebabkan AINA FARZANA suruh saya tulis psl diri beliau di blog saya ini, saya tetbe dah dpt idea nk tules psl pe. Buat pengetahuan anda semua, peristiwa yang bakal sy ceritakan ini telah berlaku di Yogyakarta, Indonesia sepanjang Program Pengantarabangsaaan Sekolah Seri Puteri 2010. SEMUA org, daripada f2, f3, f4, f5 dan termasuk cg2 berasa sangat IRI HATI dgn beliau. Hal ini kerana ketika membeli-belah, beliau telah dapat membeli sesuatu brg dgn harga yg SANGAT murah. Gle la. Sememangnye beliau sangat terer dlm bargain harga. Apabila ditemu ramah tentang bagaimana beliau menjadi sgt terer dlm bab2 bargain harga, beliau memberitahu kami bhw beliau mengadaptasikan skill2 ayahandanya yang sering kali dilihat beliau. For me, she is a born businesswoman la. 

Sincerely from my heart; thanx gle coz ko banyak tolong ak dlu2. I’ve learnt a lot from u. Sorry klu ak kdg2 ak menjadi assistant yg tak berguna utk ko. Semua th kelemahan ak. Ak rindu ngan lawak pisang kat high table. Ko ialah antara org plg ‘pisang’ ak pnah jumpe. HAHAHAHA. I hope at u’ll be strong facing the years ahead. Klu dah ‘ikat’ nnt jgn lupe bg taw ak yea. Ak pegang janji ko utk kterg bwatkn  wedding theme DASH klu ko kawen ngan  **S.  Ohh, ak maseh ingat essay LOVE ko yg dibace in front of the whole set A, vey touching. Plg best part ANNIE ngan NASH. Hehehhe. Thanx sebab ko tlg calm me down after incident lift kat BRISDALE dlu. Kat BRISDALE jgak ade incident blakng langsir dan ‘ting tong’ dprd phone SE kaler merah. HAHAHAHA. 

Teringat tyme gi Kursus KP & PKP dlu kat STF, ko tak hbes2 mengulangi ayat2, “YANG DIPERTUA, …. TERANG LAGI BERSULUH” (sori la ak dah xingat dah ayat2 debate ko th, though ko berulang kali mengulanginya.hhaha). Dat shows dat u r so hardworking in order to be the best. Ur Captain should be proud of u. Tp biase la ade je sumthing yg xbtol dgn ape yg kte bwat. Skola dlu mmg stressful kn Nana? But we’ve gone through it like a PRO. Klu ko bleh lalui hidup kat SSP as a TOP 5 esp u as a HEADGURL, world outside should be a piece of cake. Whatever happens, I’ll always support u from behind. Dah rmai dah yg can be beside u, tak payah la ak nk menyebok. So ak support ko dri blakng je la, dri jauh. But, always bear in mind, ALLAH will always be with us and ALLAH knows the BEST for us.

ILY

I noe u like dis shirt, all the way from org naek motor langgar ***I.hehe
