When the Time Comes..

Story 1

My flight landed on KLIA airport approximately at 6.40 p.m last Wednesday. I immediately spotted my family members (Ma, Abe Yam, Along and Iwa) plus my bro's girlfriend after I left the arrival hall. Mamat was also there, waiting for Ada. We headed back to Kelantan with the last MAS flight at 10.50 p.m. It's good to be back..after 2 years. I unpacked my luggages and was disappointed to find out that most of my cups had broken (Aku bli a set of 8..tinggal 2 jek okk). Well, takde rezki nak wat cmne kan (That's what my mom said). We weren't sleepy at all, so we had a very late supper at 2.30 a.m. (Yes, my family is adapting to U.S. time, not the other way around..haha). When we're ready to sleep, my mom suddenly broke the silence..

Mom: Tau tak, Mok Jaghoh (My grandma on my father's side) dah mati?
Me: Ya Allah..bilo?
Mom: Senin arituh..
Me: Bakpo?
Mom: Keno bunuh..rumoh masok oghe cughi

I expected answers like "Sakit tua..or sakit lamo doh", but this was definitely out of question. I was shocked, surprised..after all, that was the very first news that I received after coming home. My mom said to wait until I had my food, calmly settled down before breaking out the bad news. Along (my elder sis) handed me in Harian Metro, which reported the death of arwah. My aunt's face was on the page, crying bitterly. Suddenly, I felt bitter too. Arwah that I knew was a strong woman, although she's already 84. She might have some hearing problems, but she's generally healthy. My aunt's family was still mourning, not to mention that they had to entertain the police's investigation almost everyday. Thanks God the investigation was almost over and the culprit was also arrested.

Story 2

I just met Far's mom to give her the package from Far when I received the second bad news. She mentioned that Far was already on her way to State College after spending a few days at Smoky mountain. I went upstairs to check my email and saw a message from Nisa with the subject 'bulan'. I had a few things on my mind.. was Nisa talking about Bulan, our freshman or is it a forwarded tazkirah about bulan-bulan Islam. I read her email a few times and couldn't believe it. She passed me a message that Bulan (our freshman) had passed away. I told myself that I can't receive 2 death news in a week. I immediately smsed her and asked for details. Arway tragically drown in a fall area in Smoky Mountain. I bet Far didn't tell her mom yet as the latter didn't mention anything to me. Far must be worried and sad, too...Although I'm not that close to arwah, he's still someone that I personally know. I was told that he's scheduled to fly back to Malaysia tomorrow (Thursday). I feel sorry for his family and all my Penn State friends, especially those who were in the same trip as him.

I told my mom, and she said "Bila dah tiba masanya.." Yes, when the time comes, there's nothing we could do. In both instances, nobody could have predicted that my late grandma and arwah Bulan were leaving us this way. There's no age restriction..That's one thing I learn. It's a theory that everyone knows, but most do not want to believe until it happens to people around them.

I pray for the success of my late grandma's case and hope that my family members' and Bulan's stay strong. I'll always remember them in my doa..insya-Allah. Al-Fatihah.

Smile

Atashinchi no Danshi

Black and White

Together

Cain and Abel

Boys Over Flowers

Springgg..Yippiiii...What's so great about Spring this year??Let's check it out!

Rank 5
"Bunga-bunga matahari..yang berkembang" (Nyanyi ala-ala kumpulan Feminin gituu). Definitely one of the reasons why I like Spring. Flowers are everywhere.. lovely okkk

Rank 4
Aside from flowers..of course la the weather kan. Nice weather...sunny days (though it's raining these few days). But obviously much better than snow la kan..tak tahan kottt snow jek manjang. Not to mention that winter this year was much longer compared to the past couple years.

Rank 3
Great events and courses throughout Spring semester. Spring semester always had better events compared to Fall..either organized by MASA or other organizations. Malaysian Night this year was fantastic, fantabulous, awesome, boombastic, lost of words dah. International Spring Festival was not bad either. Last week, we had a presentation in HUB as a part of our Biotech class's requirement. Jadik maskot jagung arituh, bleh?Hehehe..too bad la..I wish someone snapped my pic wearing the 'corn mascot' thing..Classes were not too bad either. Since the classes were getting smaller (as we were focusing more on our major courses), we got to know more friends this semester. Of course my fav class would be Chinese. Great classmates with great learning experiences!

Rank 2
Spring has the best set of dramas everrrrr..tak tipu..siyess.mucchh better than the dramas line up for Winter and Fall. Be it Korean, Japanese or even Taiwan. Plus, AF, MI, and all kinds of awards were in Spring..tak caye ke??ekekkeke..even AJL pon tauu. To name a few la

Boys Over Flower (Min-ho and F3.. cuci mata okkkk)
Cain and Abel ( Oh Ji-sub kuu)
Brilliant Legacy
Queen of Housewives

It's not that difficult to be a bad friend

You don't have to steal your best friend's boyfriend to be labeled as a bad friend. Merely forgetting your friend's birthday already made you feel guilty.

Last Friday (April 10) was my best friend's birthday, Eli. We were in the same class since Standard 1 and became best buddy right after we started school. I sent her a birthday wish through YM but did nit specially wish her her in my blog. Sorry Eli.

Wish you a great year and tunggu aku balek weh...nnt kito pusing2 KB...nok gi TESCO..ekekeke..napok sangat jakun nih..

Muahxxxx...Nati aku bawok balek adiah ko mu deh.

These pics were old ones..taken when I went to visit her house during my summer break during Freshman year. Eli's wearing the light brown tudung

"Ghost" Is Back!!

Can't believe it! I was told by Tini and Daju (and confirmed by Utusan..ehehe) that my all-time-favorite series is back..yeah. I thought when Ghost ended last year, 8tv and the production house ( I believe it's Popiah Pictures) had no plan at all to make a sequel..if they made a sequel pon, how would they create the story since Zack Imran was already gone? But then I was so thrilledddd (yg digambarkan dgn banyaknye 'd' nih....ehehe) that Ghost is going to meet us again starting April 19...it's coming very soon lol. It's a new ghost (this time it's a female ghost, named Harum) and Zack Imran's character is still maintained (cheers...I just love his character). Can't wait for the series and I would try to upload it on my channel(if someone captured the series and put it on torrent).

Well..back to class...just finished my Micrb 410's and Chinese 110's tests..It's not the end, yet..haha. Actually, this was a huge surprise(to me and all my Chinese classmates). I was writing my last character when my laoshi said time's up..then I thought.."Oh God..this could be my worst Chinese test ever...I forgot a few characters from Chinese 1 and 2..plus...I did not even have time to proofread my own translation and grammar parts...well...let it be la"...thennnn..jeng jeng jeng...My laoshi said "Well..next Monday we won't have quiz as scheduled because we're going to resume our test". Did I hear it correctly? I believed it is since she kept talking "Would another 20 minutes be enough next Monday?"...Oh yeahh...it's more than enough my dear Di Laoshi...A friend next to me even whispered "I just need 5 more minutes lol"..hahah

This was the first time she did this..I mean it's like a take home exam la kan...I immediately jotted down all the characters that I forgot..and guess what?I'm going to learn hard how to write them this weekend..hahahha...Thanks Di Laoshi. She must be feeling great because of the Easter..ehehhee

Spring BBQ is gonna take place this Sunday..so, we'll busy tomorrow marinating ayam and sate..nyum nyum....

Awesome Night-Love you all

We totally rock our Malaysian Night this year. Full house beb with 300 over guests. This was the first time that we didn't have enough chair to seat everyone. I was so proud with all Malaysians, each of them has shown great commitment in making the last night's event a huge success. I was in-charge of the "Inai" aka Henna booth, but then I got tired of explaining the same things to the guests. Haha..I basically repeated the "stages in Adat Berinai" to them. They thought that our cultures are unique and they were merely impressed over simple things..like....kipas mengkuang. Kagum laks diorang dgn mende alah tuh since they never found it here.

Then, I started wandering around..entertained the guests and ushered them to their seats. I guessed this suited me better. I love meeting people.one of the reasons is..hehehe..I could use different greetings to welcome them. Well, even basic greeting can really make them feel welcomed.like saying "anyo haseyo" to korean, "ni hao" to Chinese guests and even "sawadikap" to the Thai guest. They asked me whether I really knew the language in which I said.."No la...only the basic-basic thing la"(takde la jawab gaya cenggini). Now, I can really see the advantages of watching dramas...hahahah

I had a great time last night, and I think everyone did enjoy the night. I asked a few American friends and they said they really loved all the performances. Of course they did since it's not something that they could find here.We also had MARA, MSD, JPA and Petronas officers coming. Thanks everyone for your hard work.It really paid off kan. It was a wonderful night with beautiful people around. Korang mmg cun ahhh!
