That's it...
Seperti pungguk rindukan bulan.
I'm hurt... and I hurt others...
Too much hoping I guess.
Maybe I should be realistic.
Suddenly I miss the boring me.
I was quiet.
But at least I was nobody to anyone.
Yes, I was nerdy.
Again, at least my actions didn't upset anyone.
I'll stay quiet.
Sorry if I'm no longer fun to you.
Sorry.

Luahan...
Rasa seakan-akan tidak pernah bersyukur dengan segala nikmat yg diberi.
Dahlah free. Tak perlu bayar walau sesen pun kat Tuan punya nikmat.
Itu pun masih berlagak angkuh, bongkak, sombong,...and the list goes on...
Hipokrit.
Bajet baik depan manusia yg buta tapi dengan Khalik macam haram jerr...
Konon cakap cinta namun mengapa tak pernah setia?
Iman.
Iman pula macam biskut Chipsmore.
Kejap ada kejap takde.
Kejap tinggi melangit.
Kejap lagi hilang entah ke mana.
Entah-entah dah terbenam jauh di dasar Jurang Mariana.
Kalau jumpa okay lagi, kalau tak jumpa-jumpa bagaimana?
Rasa-rasanya bila nak sedar ek?
Segala petunjuk dan ingatan dah terpampang jelas terus ke mata hati.
Lagi jelas dari pandangan mata itu sendiri.
Cakap bodoh marah.
Bila tegur pula asyik melatah.
Apala nak jadi dengan diri ni.... hurm...

A Phone Conversation With Yaya :)
I called my sister earlier today. Then, she passed the phone to Yaya, her 4 year-old daughter. I gave salam to her then she replied 'Walaikumsalam....' cheerfully [the spelling is intended to be that way]. Then I asked, 'How are you?' She then said, 'I am three years old...' I was like, 'Huh??' Haha... Since she was three till now, she's still using the same answer even though that's not it. Ngeeee.. x)
While talking to her, she initiated a new topic: The conversation went on like this:
Yaya: 'Yaya ada adik.'
Me: 'Iya?'
Yaya: 'Iya.'
Me: 'Mana dia?'
Yaya: 'Aaaaa.. sana...saaaana dalam purut (perut)' [My sister will welcome her 2nd child this July, InsyaAllah]
Me: 'Dalam purut? Owhh...' *laugh*
Yaya: 'Iya. Dalam purut.'
Me: 'Boy or girl?'
Yaya: 'Aaaa.... boy... iya, boy...'
Me: 'Ah? Butul (betul) bah? Owh...' *laugh again*
Dalam hati entah macam mana la dia leh tahu lelaki ke pompuan. Suka-suki dia jerr cakap. Hehe. Then my sis said she has always been like that. Whenever people asked her, she'd say it's a baby boy although she would refer to the baby as a SHE instead of a HE. Gender confusion? Huhu. The funny thing was she often asked my sis how the baby is going to be delivered. 'Camna baby kuar (keluar)? Kasi inject bah pigi (pergi) hospital.' LOL! Budget cam doktor pla budak ni. Haha. A kid can be soooo funny at times. She definitely put a smile on my face today. :)

Coretan Terakhir
Kusangkakan panas hingga ke petang,
rupanya hujan di tengah hari...
Adapun semalam kita bergurau senda.
Penuh saja dengan hilai tawa,
Seakan2 tak akan lekang senyuman pada bibirnya.
Namun, tika ini kita berduka, hati bermuram durja.
Bilamana mendengar khabar berita
Bahawa Sang Pemilik datang menuntut haknya.
Bersabarlah wahai manusia.
Hidup ini hanyalah sementara.
Tiap yg hidup pasti kan tiada.
Namun akhirat itu kan kekal selamanya.
Kepada sahabatku, takziah di atas permergian ayahmu. Semoga rohnya dilimpahi rahmat dan berada dalam kalangan orang2 yg soleh. Amin... InsyaAllah.
Semoga dikau dan keluarga tabah menghadapi semua ini... Adapun Allah SWT itu lebih menyayanginya drpd kita semua...

(Iaitu) orang-orang yang apabila mereka ditimpa oleh sesuatu kesusahan, mereka berkata: "Sesungguhnya kami adalah kepunyaan Allah dan kepada Allah jualah kami kembali."

1. "Bajet ah kau ni post Islamik2".
Jawab- "Memang, memang aku
bajet nak masuk syurga. Kau bajet
nak masuk belah mana?"
2. "Takyahlah nak tunjuk bagus,
menyampah aku!".
Jawab,- "Aku tengah cuba nak
baguskan diri sendiri sebab skrg
aku rasa aku macam sampah
depan Tuhan."
3. "Berdakwah konon."
Jawab,- "Bukan konon, memang
aku tengah dakwah diri aku
sendiri."
4. "Bukannya best pun status tu.
Poyo ah!"
Jawab, -"Memang tak best sebab
aku bukannya nak jual buku. Aku
update status jak pun. Biar poyo
skrg, jgn poyo depan Tuhan di
akhirat depan."
5. "Aku block je la kau ni."
Jawab,- "Alhamdulillah, jika itu yg
terbaik utk iman kau."

Dan bersabarlah (wahai Muhammad terhadap perbuatan dan telatah golongan yang ingkar itu); dan tiadalah berhasil kesabaranmu melainkan dengan (memohon pertolongan) Allah; dan janganlah engkau berdukacita terhadap kedegilan mereka, dan janganlah engkau bersempit dada disebabkan tipu daya yang mereka lakukan. [An-Nahl: 127]

-Allah didn't promise that
the way would be easy but He did promise that He would be with us in
every single step of our lives as long as we want Him to-

I'm Bald Bebeh! xD
Assalamu'alaikum wbt... Hi guys!
Yup... I did it guys. I did it. I have finally shaved my hair off. A dumb decision? Maybe... maybe not. :)
I was having trouble with my hair recently. A 'chronic' hair loss I'd say and it bothered me all day long. Even just thinking of it would give me an awful stress. =___="
Anyway, I decided to have them cut a few weeks ago. A military cut - so it was quite short. My original intention was just to have a clean shave. I didn't go for it, however.
Yesterday was the turning point. The military cut didn't help at all. My hair was still falling out and it occurred to me that I just had to take the next step - to shave them off.
I went to a barber shop. Yup, it's a barber shop and not those fancy beauty salons. Instead of using a blade, the barber just used a clipper. I didn't ask anything, not until he finished trimming my hair. Then I asked if he could shave it properly - like using the blade. He hesitated and just replied, 'I'm sorry. We just can't do that here. How about you go and try other shops?' - And so I did.
I went to a salon this time and the people there told the same thing but they did suggest me to try my luck at another salon which was not far from there. The same excuse and explanation was given, nonetheless, and I was quite disappointed as I literally looked like a monk with the very thin hair still visible left on my head. He did tell, nevertheless, why they couldn't offer such service. It's just due to a safety or insurance policy which they need to adhere. Perhaps, they didn't want to get into trouble if they caused someone to bleed because of the shaving especially if it involved using a blade. The UK authority are very particular of people buying and using sharp objects even if they are just a pair of scissors, they still need to show a proof of identification if they want to buy them at the shop. So different from Malaysia, right?
At the end of the day I thought that I might as well shave them off myself. Well, it's obvious I couldn't do it on my own so I asked a friend of mine to do the favour for me. I bought a very decent shaver for a bargain at TESCO. Luckily I didn't buy the one sold at Boots and Superdrugs. It was really2 expensive.
That night, he came to my room and 'performed' his amateur shaving skills. He has never shaved anyone's head before so I was actually his guinea pig. Hehe. Well, the result? He managed to shave my head cleanly without killing me. That's a plus point I'd give. Naaaahhh.. He did well and I was thankful I asked him to do it for me. Thanks again bro.
Let's see the 'evolution'...

Lucu...
When I was a kid, I just couldn't wait to grow up. I hated everything especially the schools. Now that I've already grown-up, I wish I could turn back the time and be that innocent and ignorant kid again. How funny is that? =___="
How DALAT Got Its Name...
About Dalat
Dalat is the administrative town of the Dalat district in Mukah Division, Sarawak, East Malaysia. It is situated by the Oya river. The district covers areas from Kg. Penat to Oya, and from Muara Sg. Kut to Ulu Baoh. There are 3 small towns, 23 villages and 22 longhouses in the district.
Dalat town has one secondary school which is SMK Dalat. Two other secondary schools are SMK Oya, which is located in Oya and SMK Batang Igan, which is located by the Igan river. There are quite a number of primary schools in Dalat. In fact, most villages have their own primary school. Dalat town also has a post office, district office, a hospital, a stadium (Stadium Perpaduan Dalat), a few blocks of shophouses, a Catholic church (St. Bernard Church), a Methodist Church, a Chinese temple (age more than a century), a district mosque and etc. There is also a newly constructed waterfront. Unfortunately, there is only a bank in Dalat, RHB Bank.
According to the 2010 National Census, Dalat has a population of 18,800[6], with 1.16%[7] average annual growth rate compared to the census done in 2000.
Most of the people use the Melanau language to communicate here. There is a slight difference of the language between each villages, yet they can understand each other very well. Other languages such as Malay, Sarawak Malay, Iban, Mandarin, Hokkien and English are also widely spoken.
Main religions practiced in Dalat are Islam, Christianity (Roman Catholic, Methodist and SIB), Buddhism, Malaysian Chinese religion and etc.
Dalat is accessible by road. There are daily express bus services connecting Dalat and Miri via Bintulu and Mukah.
The nearest airport is Mukah Airport. The locals however prefer to use either Bintulu Airport or Sibu Airport to fly to Kuala Lumpur particularly.
River transportation is still very vital in Dalat. There are speed boats connecting Dalat and Sibu with a fee of MYR 20. The journey takes approximately 2 hours.
The people here particularly the Melanaus are still practicing their culture. The Melanaus are famous for their traditional food such as umai, sago worms and the sago pearls. Also, there is a carnival named Karnival Balau (Balau is the Sago palm in Melanau language) which is held annually, and also a regatta, held few years once. Some major celebrations here are Christmas, Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Chinese New Year and the Kaul Festival. The Kaul Festival is celebrated on different dates for different villages.
Now let's look at Heidi Munan's short story 'How Dalat Got Its Name'...
Facts ----> It is published in the book Melanau stories (2005) Utusan Publications and also used as a short story for English Literature for PMR level in the textbook "Literature Component For Lower Secondary; Short Stories for Form One".
