Long time, no flight.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, this an announcement of late departure. The flight AK 6344 to Alor Star will be delayed because of operational problem and the new departure time will be announced later. We are sorry for any inconveniences caused."

-Damn, they shouldn't delay the flight. I can't bear it any longer. I need to arrive at my home. Quickly.

It's been a way long time since I last took a flight to anywhere in this Earth. And I need to take a plane to get back to my hometown, which is something to be regretted. This is what you get from someone who is afraid of height and speed at the same time. You see, speed and height always are not the best combination of all. Luckily, I was able to bear it all during the whole journey to Alor Star. It wasn't bad as I was able to see the sea from above and it was damn beautiful to stare at, until there are some disruptions in the air. >.<

I arrived safely at Alor Star's airport and quickly went straight to the luggage retrieval area. Although this wasn't a flight full of important people, the mass number of people waiting in the airport was quite surprising. Families and friends were waiting for their loved ones. I was picked up by my sister. Right timing Sis!

P/s: Never take a flight back to Alor Star, when you have express buses.

I'd be happy to,

Ramadhan is coming to an end, and gone are the days when we fast together as friends living far away from family and hometown. It must be quite saddening that Ramadhan would just end here after nearly 30 Days of Fasting. And here I was, all alone, since everyone was already packing their things, ready to go home. Cannot blame anyone for the late ticket isn't it?

Well, at least I know I'll be flying back to my hometown tomorrow. Within this great opportunity, I would like to ask forgiveness to everyone in the Festive Season of Aidilfitri. I might do something wrong to you guys and would like ask the forgiveness. Sorry, it was done on the blog since I don't have enough time to seek each and everyone of you to ask forgiveness face to face.

So, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri everyone, and Maaf Zahir dan Batin!
- from yours truly, Akmal Ghani -

Anyway, please take care of yourself while having fun back home, and remember to have a happy holiday with your family and friends.

P/s: Please pray that my flight won't be delayed. :)

Delicious. Yes, please observe.


Two drumsticks in Kurma Madu

And yes it is very, awesomely, uber-cool, one delicious Ayam Kurma Madu made by me. It was delicious but my housemates were quite skeptical about it at first, although they haven't tried any since it was for my breaking fast and also sahur food. Do mind the crates on the bowl, since I'm using the Microwave to cook, so I can't control the heat. And this isn't my first time cooking either. So, Miss Laila, I cook my own food, alright? No doubts okay?

It was alright eating it alone, or isn't it alright?

I'm confusing myself already. >.<

P/s: Using ready made packs of spices are still considered cooking.

Friends of A Lifetime.

Today, might be the last day I will ever see him again, face to face, voice heard clearly, vibrating the eardrums, creepy yet entertaining laughter, killing of the silence away, and his unstoppable ways of showing what life means for everyone. It means colourful to me. You had define it to me, the word


"Colourful".


True friend come once in a million years. I'll be lying that I'm not lucky enough to have you around.


Friends are forever, gonna miss you a lot. :)

It's you we all gonna miss so much. So, Razrin, before you go to Russia to further on your studies, I wanna let you know how we are all going to miss you so much. Be careful out there. You may never know what will come in the future. Study well, and never ever forget the Almighty. We will pray for your safety and success, so don't forget to do the same for us too.


Faris.Razrin.Akmal

Friends of a lifetime.

All those time of being together as friends, the hardships of life, we braved it trough together. Those happy moments we cherished together. Never ever leave it here to be forgotten. Bring it with you to Russia. You'll never know if you're gonna need it. :) A song for you.



After all, going somewhere far isn't the full stop to our friendship right?

9.20.2008

It's worth the RM5 note.

So, it was an another fine day to start my day. Except that, I was feeling extra motivated for it. God only knows why I was so motivated about it. Maybe of the ticket I bought for RM5 made all the difference in it. Zayana sold it to me, isn't it, Miss Zayana? She was so hard working, she even sold it during the EAP class. My salutations to you. :) Anyway, that's not the point. The point is, lots of food for RM5. Please bear in mind, that I'm going for the event not just for the food, but for the other activities as well. After we finished our class, we have our prayers, and went straight into the LT2 for the tazkirah.

Guess what, half on my side, people were sleeping. Including me. Well, I'm sorry to say that it was my fault in the first place to get bored easily. I cannot hear a dragging speech for a long long time. So, I'm so sorry to the person giving the tazkirah. But then again, it wasn't all that sleepy, since most of the time, various kind of ring tones could be heard. That gives me the idea to,

We're bored. :)
Snap some pictures. And do mind the people sleeping next to us. :P Anyway, got my way there by the bus and decided to have a look around the bazaar next to the Masjid.

Don't dare ask what is that cause we don't even know ourselves.

Oh, while waiting for the Tarawikh prayers to start, we snap some pictures again as it's kinda bored waiting. Please mind the quality, mine camera isn't a good one to be bothered with. :)

Looks kinda tired, right? ( Shafiq forced a smile Haha :) )

Those waiting patiently for the matter.

It's about time when we already finish our 8th raka'at prayers, so it's time to say good bye to the Masjid and that event we had. Hope this kind of event will be held again sometime later. It's fun breaking fast with friends, right? Although there's not a picture to show it. Kinda indulged with the food I guess? :D

Here we go again, ladies and gentlemen!

Here and there, is considered everywhere. So much confusion to begin with, and to really begin with an answer, could possibly answers all the questions in the first place. And here I was, afraid of things I don't even know on how to get a grasp on. I can't really understand the whole picture of it. Yet, I'm using all my force to execute it with all the strength left within my capabilities. While, it envies me the most when seeing others relentlessly enforcing thier outage towards for the greater good. Well, I promised that I will absorb it well, and I'm actually trying my best to. Sometimes, it's quite hard to imagine life without it, since my life's really not oriented about it.

It's not what I meant.

Can you be the judge over the mistakes of others?
Or is it required for people to appoint someone to judge the mistakes of others?
Maybe, if you think in this way.
Maybe, if you think the way they think.
Such stupidity only rises to the utmost fool and uncertainty of despair givers.
Why would you question the one who creates such anonymous jokes?
Why not blame yourself for not being able to entertain yourself while others foolishly laugh upon your slowpoke reactions?
To copycat others, would mean to peel the skin underneath you.
But to really copycat others with mere feelings, is such a pitiful act to begin with.
It's a general truth that surfaces can't be copied or traceable by physical cast.
And, when someone lied, don't be too quick to judge upon them.
For the lie they made may be seem a mechanical defense for them, since the truth cannot be shown publicly.

As some one had reminded me before,
"When the finger points to the yonder moon, the fool does not look at the finger."

9.17.2008

The Second time of things are repeatable. But have fun.

It's the guitar we love.

Now this is something. We went out again as classmates, plus Anggum since he had nothing left to do. Besides, we don't want to leave him at home alone since everyone is out for their own activities. :P Anyway, we went to Sunway Pyramid this since there are many restaurants to choose from and we were kinda hungry for some Kenny Rogers Roasters actually. After the Asar prayers, (which took a long time for the girls to get ready) we waited for the E-Ridzuan bus, which in turn will take us straight to in front of Sunway Pyramid. It's not really that in front. We still need to walk a little bit, but unlike the others (whose class shall not be mentioned), they took the harder alternative. Walking. We saw them walking on the sideways while we're on the bus towards Sunway Pyramid. Anyhow, the bus is free.

The Girls of J10 - Amira

The boys of J10 - Radzi

We arrived in Sunway Pyramid around 6.30p.m and quickly rush towards Kenny Rogers. It was quite early but we still need to order for the food fast since there are so many people inside it. Most of them are reserved seats so foods must be served for them first isn't it? It's already time to break our fast and the water had not arrived yet. At least give us something to break our fast first. But not long after that drinks came and also our foods. It's been a long time since I last ate my meal of Kenny Rogers roasters.

BBQ Chicken. Deliciously savoured.

Chicken Roast to perfection.

Chocolate and Vanilla muffins. I personally adores the latter.

We had fun like last time only with some more additional people. It's really happening in there as we break our fast as a family. We told stories, took pictures and laugh all the way ignoring all the other people inside the restaurant as if it's ours. I think everyone was enjoying the moment, but for sure, I know I did. Although it was quite pricey as the total of the whole dinner was about RM 210. Well, roughly everyone eat at a price around RM20.



As you can see, everyone was quite satisfied with all the dinner, we went to surau for Maghrib prayers. We were supposed to play bowling after the prayers but I followed Farahin and Afiqah to J.CO Donuts and Coffee. For some unknown reasons, I was being impulsive about buying those donuts. I bought quite a lot of it and weren't able to finish it. And it was quite also mysterious on why my housemates rejected my offer of the donuts. Hey, it's J.CO and you guys weren't interested? Do tell me this is a lie. Anyhow, I managed to let the donuts dissapear. I gave to Radzi and tell him to do anything he wants. Like I predicted, it went downwards. Haha :D Have fun eating guys. It's on me tonight.

It starts with,

Racism is bad and you know it too.

Psst. You've left your maths on.

It wasn't much really. But of all the things to hate, why would it be the most fundamental subject of all? O.o

I don't like Maths and it bothers me a lot.


Never mind, I'll learn to love it and cherish every amount of lavishness of knowledge laid upon me by Mr. James Louise. (I'm talking Maths here.)

Besides, it's fair that everyone has their weaknesses and strengths right?

9.14.2008

Life's hilarious when you've got...

Friends! Yes and I mean it. This is the first time that I ever had felt so happy being in a class since I was in form 1. I'm not kidding. Seriously. I don't know why but it seems that my previous classes weren't like the current one. Not that I hate my whole class, (only certain people whose names shall not be revealed) I do enjoy it, but not to the maximum. The first time I entered the classrooms, as the member of the Class, I felt it was not going to be any different from the previous ones. It'd only took me 2 months to prove me wrong. Joy, laughter, and togetherness could be felt, and it felt so real too. I really love my classmates now. :)

J10 Muslims + Kenny

We had fun together.

But that wasn't really the point! The point is, yesterday we went to break our fast together as classmates, only Muslims that is, including Kenny as well. (Yeah, I know. Quite contradict with the topic intro isn't it? >.<) We went to the nearest KFC outlet which is Mydin Mall's. Everyone was there except for Afiqah who had some other plans with her friends at Sunway. So, she was replaced by Kenny to make sure the number sill remains the same. Anyway, it was quite fun to eat together with friends. I mean I felt like breaking fast with my own family, since yeah, I miss breaking fast with my own family. It's true when people said,

You'll appreciate something or someone when you're away from them.

Not implying that I don't appreciate my family when I'm around them. Heh :D Although it was quite full inside the KFC, we still think it was quite comfortable. Thanks everyone for making my day brighter. :)


9.13.2008

When it's your turn. You'll know.

Suddenly, everyone's cramping in this whole building. I can't even breathe in the lift, even sardines inside the can have the time to take a breather for themselves. They came, push, grab anything they can. I was molested, (literally speaking) for I wasn't been able to move at all and those hands. Moving silently, caressing anything they can reach. I was utterly speechless. And it was already near 7.00 p.m. Goodness, if can't reach home on time, I might eat one of the nurses to stay alive.

Yes, I'm cruel. I eat people to break my fast. Especially the most annoying nurses. (Not having any discrimination against nurses, but in this case, I might.)

I might be wrong myself. Well, you might be wrong too.

So far, no humans were eaten by me since I can still control myself.

:P

9.11.2008

Hoho, I'm earliest is it?

For the past three days, every time I woke up, after a light sleep after sahur that is, I'm always the first one to be ready for school. I thought it was quite normal since it's Ramadhan time and that people tend to get lack of sleep. Oh well, it wasn't really the case. Anyway, I went out of the home and to my surprise, no one's waiting for the lift. Is it a holiday today? I was so doubtful of myself, even when I pressed the lift, it went straight from G to the 20th floor. The whole morning was easy breezy for me, no hassles, no trying to walk fast which I'm trying so hard to, no waiting for busses, no racing with each other for the bus seats and nothing but me.

But, but, but! The most upsetting things of all things and it can't get any worse especially when you think you're QUITE early than most people is that the inability to get the seat inside the cafe. >.<

I was stumbled to see many people besides me. And after my 9th attempt to get a seat, I finally succeeded to get one. Yeah, of all 10 attempts that is. -_-'' At first no one's sitting there, and I thought this is it, my one chance to get a seat and I did get it but it turned out to be that everyone's rejecting that place since it's really cold under the air conditioner . What to do? I'm not ready yet to let go of my throne after so many attempts. I just resist the cold and forced my way of reading Islamic studies notes and my classmates were not helping with all the loud noises, not that I'm really bothered by it.

So the lesson of the day. Always check your date so that you won't feel absurdly ridiculous when you woke up and no one's waiting for the lift since you might be thinking of a sudden holiday, god-knows how it was created in the first place.

And never ever to safely assumed that you're early when the facts are saying the otherwise.

Getting a seat and a table inside the cafe is hard and gruelingly time consuming .
Might one day put some rats to scare people off. Just kidding :D

9.10.2008

Spin, baby, spin.

You'll tend to lose the track of time when you're getting older and busier by the day. As long as I can remember, it is already near three months that I last met with Ain. I miss her so much. Seriously. Her cute bubbly face is so adorable to begin with. And I also miss watching TV (mainly cartoon shows that is) shows with her. And it all thanks to my expertise of being a babysitter for the past 6 So I've decided to make a post about her. Here's my little niece, Ain Zulaikha!




By the way, she's turning 2 this November, and sadly enough, I might not be able to be there and celebrate her birthday. Haha, I just love how she would dance to teletubbies and wonderpets songs. :D

Quite entertaining for a kid's show

Teletubbies!

She just really love the shows and I remember all the lyrics and it all thanks to this little mischievous girl. Anyway, can't wait to go back for this coming holiday to see her again.

Psst, I also did enjoy those shows. :P

steamboat.stimbot

Yes, yes and yes! We cooked our own steamboat, for real! Me and my housemates went to Mydin Mall, (my best friend that is :) ) to buy all the ingredients needed to make the steamboat. Chicken breast, fish cake, Squid ball, prawn ball, and even sausages were bought for the ingredients. I was thinking of putting in some celery since it's delicious to put in soups, but it was too much to put. We thought that it wasn't going to be that good, but it turned out to be so damn delicious. In fact, Anggum even asked us, how do we make the soup. But, truth be told, we just used whatever instant chicken soup there is. And the result is like the ones in the restaurants as commented by Anggum :D


As you can see, it's quite delicious :D Thinking of doing it again later.

Quizzes me, once a while.

Quiz: Which One Tree Hill Character Are You?

Lucas_s_max200w

Lucas Scott

Still waters run deep and you know that better than anyone, right? No matter what's going on around you, you tend to spend more time in your head than most people. Like your One Tree Hill match, you are often able to consider a situation from all sides, and that's why you tend to be so understanding when it comes to your friends and family.

Being a good person is important to you, but nobody's perfect — not even you! Maybe you've made mistakes before with the people you care about, but you usually learn from them and do your very best to smooth things over. It's sweet to be smart, but don't forget to take a break from your brain once in a while. Thinking is important, but so is letting loose and living in the moment.

Quiz: What's Your True Color?

Truecolororange_max200w

Orange

You're a bold, confident orange. A warm, powerful color that indicates a strong, welcoming personality, orange is the mark of people who are social and extroverted by nature. Vibrant, with an upbeat attitude, you have a bright, inviting demeanor. Energetic and fun-loving, you're a real friend-magnet. Your easy charm and unassuming manner make you the sort of person people want to meet and get to know better. Well-rounded and fun to be around, you enjoy helping others, so it's no surprise that orange also symbolizes attraction. Orange is an extraordinary color — for an extraordinary person.

Source: Tickle's website

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

Oh now, I'm the main character. Heh! Quite true for most of the part. It's random, I don't really believe the quizzes much, but at least it's fun. And yeah, orange does seem cheerful isn't it? :)

9.05.2008

Miss, Hit, Fall and Rise again.

Well, today was nothing much particular except we got three hours of freaking rest for Jummat Prayer! So, we have to sit around the surau doing nothing but sleep. I wasn't really angry with it just that quite envious that others would be able to reach Casa much more earlier than us. Sometimes I'm wondering why would the administration set up such time wasting schedules? At least consult with the students if it looks kinda weird and not acceptable. Haish. Well, not that really angry with it or anything.

This "toyol kecik" was sleeping on me. >.<

Anyway, today we're going to do some steamboat. Heh. It's all Shafiq's idea. We recently bought our own rice cooker for the Ramadhan (Late, I know >.<) and we were quite excited what kind of food we could cook inside it. The first idea that crossed Shafiq's mind is, steambot. I guess it's not a bad idea at all. Next, we have to go buy all the ingredients for steamboat, which I was supposed to go later with my housemates. Nevermind, if we cook something delicious, I'll let you know. :D

Our pride and joy. :)

Now, which one of you know how to make the sauce? >.<

9.04.2008

Of the trouble to get there.

I was so pumped up about Ramadhan month. Really, I was. What better ways to pump yourself up other than the delicious delicacies of Ramadhan Bazaar? Hehe, I know, I know. That's why I was so pumped up, since I can't wait to taste the mouth watering foods in the Bazaar. I was told by this lecturer of mine, that there would be one near where I am living right now. So does the warden. She told us that if we would walk, it would only took around 20 minutes. So, me and my housemates, went out from casa around 6.00p.m and walked straight passing Mydin. I was so energetic even tough I was really tired to begin with. Curse the bus I will, but since it's Ramadhan, oh well, I might just be a little bit patient. We looked for the first sign. The Shell station. It was quite far, but the spirit will never die.

We reached the station and the sight of the bazaar still not seen. They asked me to ask the shell worker. I quickly walked to the station and ask for the nearest bazaar.

------------------------------------------
Me: Bang, dekat sini, bazaar mane yang dekat?

Shell Man: Hurm, banyak dik. Tapi yang dekat pun agak jauh kalau nak jalan.

Me: Lah, takkan takde yang dekat?

Shell Man: *thinking* Adik jalan terus sampai simpang tiga, belok kiri, belok kanan, pastu terus sampai adik nampak bazaar tu.

Me: *calculating the information* Yah, terima kasih.

---------------------------------------------
I told my friends and was able to convince them to walk a little bit more, just for the sake of eating the delicious foods. And it started to rain. Little tiny drops of water won't sway me from the main purpose, I exclaimed to myself. We walked quite far, and no. No, nothing. Not a single sight of someone bringing plastic bags with them. Not a single big umbrella was there. It started to rain heavier and heavier. Oh, asking for directions is my forte, but understanding them to the point of being able to visualise it in my head? Not exactly what I had in mind. We were straving for real, and there's still not a single soul selling food. Dissapointed to the point of being lazy to walk back to Casa, (incase you are wondering, we didn't know where we were XD), we call it quits and call for a cab, back to Mydin, my best friend again.

I was tired, for sure. And guess what? After we had ride the cab, we passed the Bazaar. But it wasn't much of a bazaar. What a dissapointment. *sigh* Anyway, we at least explored the unknown parts of USJ1. Hehe :D Back at Mydin, we bought all the SAME food again, for three days straight already. I am a regular customer, that I am able to predict what dishes is going to be sold, or what is the pricing of the food. Goodness, I might as well replace the cashier without the Manager even knowing. Quickly bought the food and rushed back home. It was already the time when we were knocking on the front door. *sighed* I missed the rice again, so have to wait to cook another one. Nevermind, patience is the fruit of all success. :D

Aku tahu semua itu, peduli apa jika mereka tiada tahu

Cakap lagi suka-suka. Buat aku sunyi balik.

Sedap mereka berbicara. Apa mereka tahu?

Sunyi? Kami kan ada. Kami kawan kamu.

Aku tahu semua itu. Aku bukannya tiada pemikiran.

Siriusnya, ini bukan kali pertama itu berkumandang.

Arghh, percaya kah aku begitu?

Itu bukan mereka saja,
mereka-mereka yang sebelum itu juga menghebah kan prinsip yang sama.

Angguk, tanda rela.

Kesahihan nya? Terabai begitu saja.

Mencari kesalahan, tiada terlintas.

Mencari kelemahan, tiada terfikir.

******************************************

Hari, hari mengadap canvas putih bercahaya.

Lintaslah, lintaslah.

Arrghh, mungkin tiada rezeki. Jangan salahkan sesiapa.

Oh, aku tiada kisah menunggu. Aku hanya tahu menunggu.

Aku tahu semua itu, peduli apa jika mereka tiada tahu.

Cerewet!

Lintaslah, lingkup segenap penglihatan itu pun tiada apa-apa.

Lemparlah, lemparlah.

Lempar lagi, biar aku terkapai-kapai.

Mana menghilang, tiada letih jua di cari.

Oh, jangan salahkan sesiapa. Tiada rezeki, tunggu lagi.

Aku tahu semua itu.

Of telling what teletubbies would do

Haha. Haha. Again. Haha, I feel quite absurd today. Yes, yes, might be of that movie.

Of course, it's because of THAT movie. Oh, it is possible, isn't it?

Well, I did say, singles are not suited to watch the movie. It's for pairings. (I'm not lonely)

Oh, make me jealous, make me happy, and yet I am still me.

I envy you! You rusty, old garbage collector. (I'm not jealous, and once again not lonely.)

Regrets? Of course not.


Be my eve! Be my eve!(not desperate either).


Wall-E: Eeeeevvaaaa *technical robotic sound*

Eve: Wallll-eee *less technical robotic sound*

I shouldn't had watched it. Feels absurd in ways I can't explain. I might sound needy.

Stupid me. And it can't be helped either to be stupid.

Does that means I'm total powerless when it comes to relating emotions in the application of daily lives?

Please don't. I'll deny it all over again.

n.

9.01.2008

Okay, listen up.

Hmm, I thought of doing something good during this fasting season. Through this link you'll get to the list of timetable for breaking your fast. So here it is.

Timetable for Breaking Fast


Please do follow the correct time. :D
