tell me why

i dont know why but i couldnt put up pics of my apartment... so sad... if u know why this is happening, tell me ok...

money, mOney money

i've been out shopping for 4 days in a row now. wow, that is crazy!! and im soo tired. but now we've finally got everything done!! including registering for a home telephone. lama gak register. cos u wanna know why?? i forgot to bring the brochure and that freaking PASSPORT!! how crazy is that. i totally forgot bout identifications. hummmm....so we wasted quite some time there. and we finally got to walmart to get the things that was sold out the last time we went there (2days ago) which were rice cooker n blender. pakcik walmart told us that particular blender that we wanted sold out like crazy. yea, it's CAD18.88 that's why.

and so we had our first taste of rice in 5 days. and kak azia was generous enuf to give us beras. hehe. lucky lucky~

and so i made ayam goreng madu (yg kaler die agak hitam...haha) and sup ketam dlm paket but i added potatoes n carrot to make it looked berkhasiat.

hurmm ape je sangat saye beli dlm 4 hari ni. all i know is that: duit dah habes byk!! cash pon gune, debit pon gune, credit pon gune. hopefulli i will do ok in few weeks in terms of financial...
tp like always, ade je miscellaneous things that i bought!! like my baju tido and 5 helai tshirt.... err...hahahaha i know what u're thinking... i consider the 5 helai as perlu. lol :P and i bought pashmina too which i dont even know when i will be wearing.

well, right now im in the mid of decorating my room. i've never decorated my room before. so i'm pretty much excited bout this. and yea...habes lagi wang. but i bought all my decorating stuff from dollarama. God i love that store. we spent 2 hours i guess there yesterday!! just wait for the pictures ok folks....

and, do take my quiz. the link is on the right...ok, have a nice weekend y'all

first day bummer

im eating bread with chicken bolognaise and mushroom omelette while typing this.

today is such an idiot day for me!! why?? cos i miss my first day of classs! how korup is that? ? ? ? just cos i overslept. now im scared that this will be a frequent thing. but i hope it's not. and since i overslept, i couldnt meet erika as i promised her. one big shoooot for that!! now i've just become a nuisance to somebody.

do u know my expectations for my classes this year?? well, i thought there will only be guys in my classes and even so, they might look a little (sikit je) dorky or geeky. that is whut i thought. and pretty much no fancy gurls.

but i was DEAD WRONG!!

this one guy who sits at the corner, amatlah stylo and mcm biasa byk ckp and keeps answering all the questions prof was asking. mcm menarik perhatian ar, walaupon his answers are not always correct. and again i was wrong about the fancy girls. there are gurls who dressed to kill in my classes which is nice cos at least we dont look so lame!!

and yea, i wont be celebrating hari raya this year cos we have a korup fieldtrip for 3 freaking days!!! nanges ar ibu bapa begini. rugi je buat baju raya. dah la sama LAGI ngan izyan!!
k k, nak habeskan makanan

rasa dirahmati

so many things happened in these 2 days that i feel so blessed. and yes, grateful too.

first, london hall is simply amazing!! couldnt ask for anything more than this. i didnt have the pictures yet since the house was a mess! things are everywhere...err, even now....and mainly there are all mine. ehe. izyan unpacked her stuff very fast...that is not a surprise. plus i merajuk cos my fingers rase panas from cutting tonnes of chillies yesterday. man, that was crazy. i cant even hold anything cos of the burning sensation. so, i went to bed early. and yea, a bit bout london hall, and in particular my house. the colour theme for my unit is blue (i want my jiran's colour. he/she got the theme lime green), but it's fine. ok, the layout: very spacious kitchen with a lot of storage compartment, small living room (it's ok, wont be sitting there pon), spacious rooms with a double bed, and a nice bathroom. and the view from my room is the courtyard...nice...and yea, i'm very lucky to have the laundry room n the gym just steps from my doorstep. hahaha, another reason to be rajen to do workouts!! well, a pair of new jogging pants will also help :D

next, i have great people here!! prior to my move in, i get sooooooo many free things from kak azia and kak debbie. it is soo nice of them. ayat biasa: ala, korang tu student. amik je semua ni. kite pon dulu student gak, dah tahu cmner rase. huhu. kitorang naik atas: kubang kotak kak debbie and see the stuff she left for us. haha, we got periuks 3 bijik, all the cooking utensils, sudu garfu n friends etc. we even took stuff that i dont even think is important like the pizza cutter, butter knife etc... senduk nasi kitorang amik 3. we were excited i guess at that time. hahaha... then, kak azia bagi 2 t-fal frying pans, wok lagi makanan2 and mcm2 laahh. wow, seriously, this is such a blessing! i feel happy and i couldnt thank them enuf! basically, they made my life here easy...

then i got some more free stuff. took pillows, rugs, jug, fails, tpt letak pinggan, and many more from last yr's students who left their stuff here. another blessing.

went to masonville and loblaws just now. and guess whut we brought with us?? beg kopetro beb!! major embarassment...tp need the bag for the groceries. tak larat bw tangan. we bought sooo many things and there's quite some sale going on. got the things i wanted at cheap prices. and as usual, tayar kopet mmg membisingkan. dan bile 2 beg kopetro ditarik bersama2 oleh 2 tuan yg berlainan.....well, i hope u can imagine what happens. lol :P izyan dah ckp, nanti kalau die keje pet, she will redesign kopet...and also menukar tayar die....walaubagaimanapun, i appreciate pertolongan kopet tadi. and many more times to come when we do groceries. my bet: grocery shopping will never be same pasni!! i wont love loblaws no more... :(

well, it is almost 130am. got to get textbooks tomoro. and khamis, classes will start.

and today is one tiring day for me...

my last

Kejadian yg perlu kemaafan

The incident just now sent me feeling extreme shocked!! My heart was pounding very fast and tears are about to run down my cheeks. I walked crossed the road without even looking if there’s a car coming. Like I said, it was freaking shocking…

I was cycling…*like always* then there’s a junction where I wanted to turn right, and there’s a car behind me. The car also intended to turn right, so it stopped and turned. I wanted to stop too. What a twist of fate, the driver just realized that he got the wrong turn, so cut in sharp and knocked me! YES!! I was knocked by a car just now! But, I was lucky that I was able to unclick my sandal from the pedal. Otherwise, I would be lying flat on the road stuck to my bike. Syukur sangat!! I could have gotten some cuts which I certainly don’t want. They will leave scars man…

Then my dad talked his way out with that guy. Apparently, he is not from Kuantan but elsewhere. So that’s why he doesn’t know his way around. Well, he did apologise to my dad for what happened. But sad enough, he didn’t apologise to ME!! which is a hell big deal for me. How can u knocked someone and didn’t not apologise to the person whom u knocked? That’s insane! I was quite furious… I feel like yelling at that guy about it. haha, funny enough…I said it but it was too soft for him to hear it. Somehow, I don’t think I can ever forgive him. He better hope I will some day. I guess he asked forgiveness from my dad to include everything kot including the damage to the bike. But still, I would apologise to the person who suffered (takde la suffer, saje exaggerate)….Well, what do u think?? Sometimes, I’m beginning to question about the attitude we are having right now. This is a sign of plain ignorance. I guess I’m so used to say “sorry” and “thank you” to almost everything. Not to brag, but it is true. I’m that kind of person. I’ll say thanks to kakak tulis resit for writing the resit, also to the person who holds the door for me or even to the waiter for cleaning the table. I believe, this can make one’s day a lot happier. Maybe not much, but a little contribution seems sweet. I remember my tutor, Janice Wilkinson told me so once. For her, she even asked how the cashier was doing. And yea, that’s why, I guess, I was hoping a lot from other parties as well. As much as I say thanks or sorry to people, that is how much I wanted people to say the same to me once I lent my hands to help them. Is it too much to ask for? I wonder that always. Well, I supposed the song “sorry seems to be the hardest word” kinda proves its point.

Tell u something, each time I did my prayers, I would always pray that Allah will spare me from any accidents unless it is fatal since that would be my qada’ dan qadar. This is something my ustazah told me when I was 10 I think. Ever since that, I always pray to Allah for my safety. I guess my prayers were answered. Alhamdulillah….

ignorance, can we live by it?

i may know some ppl who are ignorant. but sometimes, i asked that question back to myself. am i ignorant myself? i cant decide for that. maybe, if i do, some people would tell me so. something for sure, i cant live by ignorance. but somehow, i dont know how to make people stop being one. i really hate when i did all the work, and some people just think i dont deserve any credit, apetah lagi any reward. i dont really ask for any of that, but a simple thanks is good enough or maybe dont question me why i get such reward. or maybe when i, again, did all the work, but it is not perfect and it is causing serious anger in some people, and so...they blame me. i know i was to be blame, but sometimes i cant avoid that too. it just frustrates me that after the hard work i have to do, all i get is the blame. crappy!! ppl should learn to show gratitude. everybody deserves ur simple "thank you". i know there are times farisa being plain ignorant, but im aware that im being ignorant to him/her, and most of the time, i purposely did that. saje2 je.

all i try to point out is: dont just ditch out ppl who have helped u. or ignore them for God sake! they are in no position to that. i always get ditched, but i just complain to myself. now im letting it all out. cos of few things that happened over and over again without him/her/they even realising it. i dont go tell them simply to jage hati mereka...but in my heart, im like shouting at them...

i say no more, cos it hurts. so many ignorant things happened this weekend. i malas to mention one by one. i may look happy on the surface, tp dalam sebenarnye nak marah. which sometimes i portrayed the anger and so i was called si pemarah up until today =>

p/s: im dying to watch o brother, where art thou?. heard some say it is a funny movie. tp kat kedai dvd ade jual ke?

Sabah – Dalam Kenangan

What did I do in Sabah for 12 days??
For all I know I didn’t use up all the money I brought with me. haha

Ok, I don’t feel like writing my trip from day to day. So, let’s just sum up things
Throughout my 12 days, I went to:

1. Around KK town – nice town, not so big and not small either. I took a walk around town alone and I find this is the best way to get around town. Simply cos u can stop and take pics. KK is a town situated by the sea so I chose to walk betul2 di tebing laut and it was a pleasant walk cos tak panas. You’ll get some breeze. i walked from Hyatt Hotel up to the malls (hehe, u know why) and stop at the market for some pics and the jetty. Lots of fisherman boat, but I didn’t get a close up shot of the boats cos nanti org atas boat kacau. To avoid that, amik jauh2 and so my shots ade la skali kereta2 and other things. Since I was walking all alone, and if u want to do so too, make sure of pick pockets or other suspicious kinda ppl. And I stopped at Delifrance Bistro for lunch. I felt so lost that I’m eating all alone. Haha. But hey, I had my book, so I kinda feel occupied a little bit. However, if u want to enjoy Sabah, Delifrance is not the place to dine. Lol :P I would suggest the gerai2 at waterfront but the only catch was it opens at night. I ate my dinner with fardia at one of the shops and the food was GOOD!! I’m surprised… but don’t expect the food mention on the menu like nasi paprik will be the same as Semenanjung. Lain skit, but nevertheless it tastes good.

2. Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park which consists of 5 islands and I went to Mamutik Island and Manukan Island. Boat fare to 2 islands was RM25. I went there with Creski, Asmina and Fardia. I couldn’t describe any better than for u to go and see for yourself. I always love islands. So, this is a must trip for me. but I was a bit disappointed cos the corals are not so pretty. The ones in Tioman are a lot more prettier. and since it is visit Malaysia year, u can expect to see sooo many foreigners as if u are at some island at the carribean or sumthing. So, we went to Mamutik first and spent 2 hours there. The boat ride from Jesselton Point to Mamutik took about 20 minutes. And berenang pun berenang, makan pon skali, and so we left for Manukan which is a bigger island than Mamutik. Spent 1 hour there. Overall: the trip to the islands….Seronok gilers!!

3. some country side where I met berjuta2 anjing kurap dan anjing peliharaan – cycled there and stopped at some gerai sayur. From there we walked through some kampong and man there’s a lot of dogs!! i wanted to jog, but at the sight of dogs kene la slow down and walk. Takut gak pada anjing. The country side of sabah is of no difference with Semenanjung. It almost looks like my kampong back in Besut. So, u don’t miss anything if u didn’t cycle and jog there. But the kampong in Kundasang is a must visit. Cos sgt cantik. I couldn’t get any nice pics cos I was in the van to Poring. But if u can stop, pls do so… cos kundasang is located at the valleys of Gunung Kinabalu, so it is very cold there and u will kinda experience something like Cameron Highlands, termasuk la boleh beli sayur2 segar….tp no strawberry lalalala….

4. Gunung Kinabalu – k, I wont lie…I didn’t reach the summit due to some problems that arose. But first and for most is for me to tell u about the price. Entrance fee RM3, Climbing permit RM30 for local and RM100 of foreigner, Transport to Timpohon Gate (starting point to climb) RM30, Guide RM35, Hostel RM 30. It is a bit pricey, but it is a very valuable experience. The total distance u have to climb is 8km. and another 8km going down. And again, im not going to lie. It is a very tiring thing!! So if u ever going to climb, make sure to do a lot of training to avoid kesemputan and tiredness!! Plus when u are climbing, the altitude can give u a bit of a problem cos of the thin air and lack of oxygen. I forgot the term. But the trick to overcome this is to climb slowly. Don’t stop and just tackle one at a time. I made a mistake by stopping many times. Any mind u about the temperature up there. At laban rata (where the hostels and cafes are), the temperature I recorded was about 16C at noon. And in the morning, it can be around 9C and at the peak, it can be 6C. very low, so make sure laa pakai baju mcm di Canada. Lol :P and make sure u wear gloves!! I think anyone can climb Mount Kinabalu. I’ve seen kids of 7 yrs and 9 yrs old climbed the mountain. So it is actually possible for everybody just as long as u take it one at a time.

5. Poring Hot Spring – indah kabar dari rupa. Lol :P well, not entirely. And again, there’s so many anjing. Hate that. U have to pay RM3 for entrance. And here u can also visit the orchid park, butterfly farm and also the canopy walkway. And all ade price to pay. As for me, I just went to the hot spring. Other spots don’t interest me. and it was my luck I guess, rafflesia was blooming the time I was there. so pegi la tgk. Well, u can choose to stay at the hostels which cost RM30 or u can choose to stay at some other hostel which is about 5 mins walk from the hot spring. I chose to stay at Poring Lodge. Murah beb. RM15 shj. But it is not all that comfy but at least the bathroom is in the hostel. Ok, bout the hot spring. Nice place. And like always, ramai foreigners. Malaysians yg dtg berpicnic makan durian!! the hot spring ok laa...u can rendam ur kaki and there's also a lot of tubs for individual rendaman...lol :P i chose one tub and it takes ages to fill it. hehe...

6. Tanjung Aru - went there few minutes bfore going to the airport cos it's quite near. i must say this beach impress a hell out of me. sgt cantik. the development at that area is nicely done. but since it is at night, i cant take a walk at the beach. i reckon mesti best if i could. plus there's this restaurant yg sgt exclusive named the mediterrenean. i want to go there someday. lol :P

yerp, that's about it. and yea, do bring ur student ID. u can get half the price at some places. i didnt bring mine. too bad. and if u have a sabahan friend, bw la die skali jalan2 cos it is easier to spot any scam ppl are using on u .... .
