R.I.N.D.U

diketerawangan ini
aku dibuai rasa-rasa yang mendalam
berat
kutarik nafas dalam-dalam
kupujuk hati, bertenanglah... bertenanglah...
gagal
laju air mata, rasanya hangat di pipi
ku tahan esakan, aku cuba
tapi rasa-rasa berbaur ini begitu kuat
sangat
aku rindu

dalam hilai tawa anak, aku lihat
dalam nikmat suapan, aku rasa
dalam gembira limpahan rezeki, aku ingin kongsi
dalam doa pada tuhan, aku pohon.. aku pohon..
ya Allah, aku rindu

aku tatap anak kecilku
aku amati puas-puas
kerana dia sahaja
pengubat rinduku

mak....

Jalan-jalan (kerja jalan, jalan kerja) LBN KK KCH

When : 9-15 Sept 2011

Who : Zack Zaidi,J,A,N,R and DdJ

Agenda: Yearend accounting routine.

Remember this? Yes, same suspects, same agendas, same place visited + new addition: LBN! Yeay!. Anyway, I don’t know if you noticed, but I am sorta doing accounting job here. Weird huh?. Well, does any of you don’t know that I hate accountancy? I hate it so much that I got 5 for Perdagangan, well, my teacher’s prediction was plain ‘failed’ as she said it right to my face during one of her off-putting class. During matriculation days, Cikgu Mat excluded me from any theory test with his sinister quote ‘Idahroyani  relaks, jangan gabra, saya TAK kan soal’. While girl friends kept pestering me to study,  Addie - my life saver will passed  his answer sheets to me when finished. Cool eh?. And when times to chose degree course, I simply wrote 1.IT 2.IT 3.Business *smirk*.

My work, at the beginning involved simple debit credit that’s all. But as time goes by, I hear jargons like bank statement, GL, TB , CR more than URS or DDS or.. oh you know it. And sedar-sedar I’m in the middle of a meeting discussing interbank transaction, daily collection report and all *slap face*. Yes, im still struggling to understand this old enemy of mine, been blarneying my heart to love it, and convincing my head that it will be easy *sigh*.

Ok, enough said, just put aside the boring agendas and enjoy the fun part of the trip.

LBN

Among my fav pic in LBN

A boulder with the words Peace Is The Best carved into it, those letters in Kanji means the same *agaknya la*.

Habis pusing satu Pulau. Museum pon layan!

Tak jadi menjamu di sini, mahal!

@Anjung Ketam, gagal juga, tutup sebab owner ada majlis kenduri kahwin di tanah besar.

The preservation of the Memorial is immaculate, just look at the green patch, beautiful isn’t it? If only we could say the same about our parks.

KK

The best of Jena. Kicap dan daun kari import khas Pn R. TErbaek!

Love this piece from Jenal, describe KK really well.

This adik gave me his business card, few names written: Ahmad, Micheal and Rain.

Me  :  Ok, Rain, next time saya call and order,  awak deliver ke hotel.

Adik: Eh, mana akak tau saya Rain? *senyum simpul kemalu-maluan*

Me  : derrr *buat zip zap with jari telunjuk depan dia*

bermodelan depan pasar filipina

zack zaidi dan hasil tuaiannya di KK

KCH

Chenta and Iman came! And this was how they say goodbye when I had to leave to office in the morning!.

My colleagues really had fun melawakkan daku yg konon 'gumbira' tok laki datang, you know la kan... benci!

ok la... satu gambar skema.. bukti buat kerja*ada chep wan kesah?*

anak beranak @ top spot

We managed to visit Sarikin on the last day. Serikin sells just about everything and most of the products come from Kalimantan. People said the sun is directly overhead much earlier here than anywhere else in Sarawak. I totally believe it, felt so hot even though we arrived quite early. Pls don’t haggling over the price if you don’t really want to buy because it annoys the traders. My colleagues kena harass with scary words for doing so. 

Rows of stalls on both sides of the road.

Tikar in abundance, I didn’t ask the price, so don’t ask me heh.

All in all, you should come and enjoy Sarikin, you might find something you like here. 

another fav! thank you Jenal for this. love it, love it

fav xtvt @airport : belek toys.. baca all the writting on the box...  ok, i need to go to the ladies..*hmpphhh*

Ahh..saya sukak trip kali ini. Jalan, makan, kerja, gelak... semua cukup. *gembira lalu tepuk tangan*

*99% of the pics here are from Mr.Jenal

Thank you Ayesha

When : 26 Sept 2011

Where: One World Hotel, KL

Agenda: Iman’s classmate 5^th Bollywood Extravaganza Bithday Party 

One late afternoon, Iman gave me a CD of SRK and Priyanka (from what movie I have no idea) saying ‘Ayesha give me this CD, I want to watch’. Well I was not surprised as kids from SReader love to share things. Other than food (sweets, chocolate you name it) and stationeries, he also received stickers, cards, toys and even getah rambut (errkk). During my time, I did the same, but in those days I could only afford to share getah tempe, crafted perfumed soap (hasil kerastangan kelas lukisan) and handmade cards but only to girls la *senyum…*. Anyway, I just shoo him away: no-movie-during-weekday rule he himself known about.

The CD been neglected for few days till suddenly I felt the urge to watch it. It is actually an invitation to a birthday party that needs RSVP. The short video shows the birthday girl in beautiful sari walking gracefully on the red carpet waving to the hysterical fans like a real Bollywood star. Upon seeing the whole movie, the venue, the theme, oh no.. ni kalau Gebus tak join, later the kids sembang kat school sure dia sedih. I rsvped and instantly got reply from the mom saying ‘looking forward to see him’. Now mak fenin, what will my son wear and most importantly what should I get for the present? Chenta pesan ‘buy something nice..’

 

K.Ija was kind enough to lend Irfan’s concert costume, hehehe yes im being cheapo here. On the day itself I ran through few shops @1U looking for something nice and settled for 2 super girly bonita headbands on sale (buy 1 free 1). We reached quite early (on purpose as I don’t want to be seen) I thought I just drop Iman there and will pick him up at 6 (as stated in the cd). The daddy greeted me and insist me to STAY!. He said all parents will be joining the party!. Nooooo, I was wearing jeans and blouse and old scarf, so not bollywood!. Aduss… then one lady greeted me, politely asking me to put the present on the table di sana. I turned and rasa nak fitam…

backdrop from a famous movie scene, glimmering fabrics and beautiful center piece.

Early bird

Gebus fav xtvt. di belakang itu ketibaan keluarga Melind@ Oii. terus rasa nak lari....

 Upon seeing this adik yg smpoi pakai t and jeans i appoached her,

Ahkak: Dik, you ni family member ke team event management?

Adik : saya staff event management Kak. Ala Kak… akak masuk dalam, ambil gelang banyak2, pakai sampai siku… ok la tu…

Ahkak: *senyum kelat, cisssss…obvious sgt la daku ni dressing tak ikut theme*

Gebus with his teachers from SR Sri Hartamas

Beads counter : Gebus made me a bracelet.

sempat juga sua tangan buat hena. I took turn with Jonathan's mom.

 The food, they served Indian cuisine consisting of beryani, naan, malai kofta, samosas, tandoori to name few and dessert was superb.  

professional dance groups: anak sapa baring depan stage tu?

game shows. Gebus won 'statue dance' and we won 'standing together' hehe mak tak mo kalah…

 magic show. Ternganga-nganga kekanak.

he requests blue angry bird.

Gebus trying his luck hitting the pinata.

 Gebus had to tukar baju, seluar koyak sampai peha!. Tu la, bangraa tak berhenti!. 

Mazmin (Ayesha's mom) made an effort to talk to everybody in the party. Oh saya segan sangat... but we end up borak about school, how we never meet up before at school, or during concert/sports day and all. And it felt good to actually can say thank you and sorry for not dressing up for the party to the host myself.

cake cutting.

Finale: Bangra lambak beramai-ramai. again, anak sapa duk depan skali tu!

Thank you Ayesha and Mazmin for having us. The party was beyond superb! Hope the friendship remains. *Dlm hati imagine how Ayesha's wedding gonna be like.. emmmm*

04:30     Sampai opis

 

Muka happy kat parking lot.

bersama beskal pilihan hati.

 I thought it would be an easy cycling, but boy… ahkak dah tua dek non…pancit!. hinsh..hinsh… Dulu, bukit 45% tertonggek-tonggek kayuh konon tak mo tolak, tak gitu Cikgu Elina?. At the age of 36 I figured that pushing your bike is faster and less tiring than wasting those energies cycling up the hill on lower upper gear. But then again, the pushing only last about 10m or so. Blame the bag, yeah must be the bag. So I passed the battle to somebody else:).

 

 

 

 

 

berapa % bukit ni? can u see ada org tolak dua gerek? perrghhh...

 

 

Ok, minus those uphill combats, the rest of the deals were awesome! Thrilling super fast ride downhill, steep cornering, cycling in the rain, hands off the handle bar… ahhh…felt like a kid teen again! Agak-agak geng NBC buat reunion kat sini ok tak?

weeeehoooooo.....

 Major love was visiting Sg Baru Dam. It was originally functioned as a reservoir for Shah Alam residents. I didn’t see any kayak or Jet Ski so maybe waters sport are no no here. They had many fish cages merely meant for promoting recreational fishing activities or r&d la kot. We stayed here long enough pleasuring our lung breathing deep the damp cool revitalizing air and let our eyes feast the tranquil green of the forest. Ahhh…..nyaman sekalik!

hilang penat....

my fav from Zus

signbord ala-ala kangaroo in ausie hahahah

sorang je tak de dlm gambo ni....

   Splashing in the pool was equally fun although some prefer to just skodeng watch.

ni baru sampai...melayan fenat dlm gerimis. sila bayangkan semua didalam kolam:)

  The day ended at Hassan’s ayam kampong near stadium. Layankan aja… lapar. No doubt it was a very exhausted and tiring outing, but yeah…we want more!

Zus dan daging kerasnya..

*As usual, nice picas are from Zus!
