Getting Down To Brass Tacks.

Just woke up.

Arrived at UiTM Segamat at 7.30am sharp from KUL after a 3 hours drive.

What a tiring and burn-a-hole-in-pocket weekend.

McDonald's Taman Buaya.

Went to Melaka two days back.


Went to Bukit Bintang yesterday to see how the Earth Hour is.

I expected a completely dark surroundings. But nahhhh... TAK GELAP PON. Hahaha.

Stopped by Sect 18 to visit Abah & Mama and saw how shocked they are when I am there without inform.

ETD HOME: 0430hrs.

ETA TANGKAK: 0640hrs

ETA SEGAMAT: 0730hrs


Tangkak's Toll Plaza, 0640hrs.

And after all these silly things and fun,

I realized that, FINAL EXAMINATION is just around the corner.

My Introduction to Transport (TPT150)'s Test 2 is tomorrow which will cover few latest topics.

Mass Lectures for TPT150, FINISHED as what Mr Zamri said. So, there will be no more mass lectures. Here there are, free and breezy Mondays. Lol.

So, I need to get down to brass tacks!

Daa!

Harga Rokok Dah Naik Gila Babs.

Hehehello.

What a beautiful morning it was. We (Minah, Faidz, Dora and me) had a splendid breakfast of roti bom, mee rebus and milo tabur at a warung near Lorong Mak Gayah. Sounds corny right? Haha.

sounds gay and corny. hahaha

And just after Faidz stepped out of the car, he whined because he had not even a cigarette left in his pocket.

He said,



Bapak ah, lighter takde weh. Takkan nak beli lighter lagi?



And I was like, lighter is only a few pennies away, why the heck he whined about it? Haha. I can't seem to understand.

Later he bought a pack of cigarette, Marlboro Light.

AND,

A BOX OF MATCHES.

WTF?

i took out my phone swiftly and captured this

I just can't believe that they're using matches to light the cigarette. I don't know what to say, ANCIENT maybe? Haha.

He said that cigarette's price increased abit. But the last time I saw the pricing at Sect 18's 7E, 14's for 6.00++ and 20's for 9.00 if I'm not mistaken.

Whoa.

Cigarette boxes are getting scary, (can I say scarier haha) these days as the Govt has put up the graphic images on cigarette packs to discourage people from smoking.


these pictures are scary. but smokers aren't scared hell out of it. (TheSTAR)

Fellas, quit smoking. Learn how to quit smoking. QUIT.

Okay. I'll Let You PUKE.

Okay, PUKE now.

YES.

PUKE.

Because this post will contain something about the Original Cast Recording for Puteri Gunung Ledang the Musical.

Haha.

And so, I successfully acquired the Cast Recording CD on Friday, just a day after my arrival from Segamat to Shah Alam.


took out from the jewel case, scanned, uploaded to make you guys puke even more.

Glad to be home, and I'm certainly glad to have the CD.

The 1st season's CD is still at home, pristine, at my CD rack.


the 1st season.

A few changes I noticed on the new CD. New lyrics, new musical arrangements. But my favorite song from the last season isn't included in Season 3's that is, Sultan Curse and few songs were renamed.

I just love how the lyric goes:


Dari yang keliru,
Kini dah menjadi pasti,
Dari yang berlari,
Kini mulanya mendaki,
Masa yang ditentang,
Apa kalah apakah menang?


Why it's not there, in the new CD? Why?

So, enough puking. I give you an eye candy.

NAH.

I found somewhere around the net and I don't know who's the owner. So, I think it's minaq_jinggo's.

Had a bad weekend?

Good.

Worse your weekend even more tonight.

haha.

p/s: actually im not in mood but just wanna type something crappy so there you are. trademark dilution? trademark generalization? whatev.

ANIMATE me! I'm Friday!

Hello.

it's Friday and I'm home, with 'slightly-faster-than-Celcom Broadband' internet connection at home.

And talking about broadband,

I hate someone who says that Streamyx IS NOT A BROADBAND (READ: NOT A BROADBAND) but Celcom BROADBAND IS.

Broadband basically is a high speed internet that exceeds the ordinary dial-up 56kbps which is a narrowband connection.

But then, Streamyx's connection speed falls between 384kbps and 4Mbps. What should we call Streamyx then? Narrowband? And the real repugnant Celcom Broadband is the REAL BROADBAND?

WTF?

Enough that crap.

So, I just equipped my beloved newly installed Windows Vista with a Dreamscene feature which is supposely for Windows Vista Ultimate only.

Mine is Windows Vista Home Premium.

So, I Google-ed for Dreamscene hack etc. And bear in mind that, if you would like install the Dreamscene on your not-so-called Ultimate Vista system, you should download the Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1). If you're an Advanced user, download. If you're not, and, on slow connection, capped connection like Celcom Broadband, please install via Windows Update.

the speed was not that lightning fast but just okay. finished 400+MB in 1 hr.

The download finished after 1 hour and that's what I call broadband. I doubt if Celcom Broadband can do the same thing.

So, if you're good enough and can find this page, below, then download from the given links.

Windows Dreamscene for non-Ultimate

Install the Service Pack, download and install the hack, you're good to go and it will transform your boring static wallpaper to an animated wallpaper. It's good to try.

Mine, from this:

Perspective. I love this.

TO THIS:

You can find this Dreamscene video wallpaper here.

Happy trying!

Have a nice weekend!

KILL ME. I Can't Even Spell Silhouette.

Hello.

I installed a fresh copy of Windows Vista on my system and I'm happy so that I can blog.

Hahhaa.

Today,

Held at the library was the Semi Final for Spelling Bee Competition 2009 and I was among of the contestants.

I made to the final 6 or 7 or 8 and later be filtered again to get the final 5.

FINAL 5?

Are you sure?

After the filtration (filter=filtered=filtration I guess? haha) there were only 4 contestants who can make to the final. They said 5.

I had to spell the word SILHOUETTE to make to the FINAL tomorrow but unfortunately, the judges misheard me spelling with SINGLE T.

Should I even comment they misheard me?

Nah, it may sound like a dissatisfaction but, even my lecturer and my friends heard me I spelled the right thing.

And I guess, it wasn't my luck after all.

One thing that I think that MIGHT lead to this:

The judges had a policy where the contestant/speller can't repeat his/her spelling more than once. But what if they misheard the speller? That's soooooo unfair.

:(

2 Weeks and a Note

This is mobile update.

Updating this blog on PC is so disappointing. The Celcom network also really irreliable. The upload speed is like 1kb for 4000 lightyears I guess. They're not even capable of uploading my blog up.

By the way,

I don't know why the title of this post is like that. Because I watched THE NOTEBOOK for the really first time yester-week?

Nahh...

Izzat, my wing mate, asked me in previous 3, 4 weeks,

"Turat, kau tak balik ke?"

I politely answered,

"hehe. Tak."

Last week,

He asked the same question again,

"Turat, kau tak balik minggu ni?"

Delightfully I answered,

"weh, sial la kau, berapa kali dow kau nak tanya. Aku tak balik kot minggu ni. Aku ada PTPTN"

I know since the day first I live in Segamat, it's like, every single week I will come back to my hometown.

Nuff said nuff said.

There's a lot of bad story that's behind the every week's home-coming.

And,

Just now I approved a comment by Lynn, she said that I look matured.

Of course I look matured.

By age, I'm 20 and I'm only a Part 1 because I am a UiTM Sarawak drop-out in 2007.

And Aida, text me on her Part 2 juniors call her 'kakak' even she's just a Part 4.

I can call her forever 'kakak' because I'm a Part 1.

Tettt...

Ahh. I gotta sleep early (i sleep early everyday and my mates are just like, 'daa? Tidur awal?) because the semi-final for spelling bee is tomorrow.

Just I need a lot of luck.

Just my luck.

:-D

Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining

Hello.

*cough cough*

This week has been a terrible week for me.

because:

Symptom: Severe flu, cold, sore throat, headache (feel like your brain is compressed)
Cause: The weather in Segamat is slowly becoming like United Kingdom's or somewhere else cold. Haha.

Symptom: SCREWED the MAT140 test. 'WILL PASS' it with FLYING COLORS.

Cause: The cold symptoms had put me in the hibernate mode. So, I kept my eyes shut for most of the time. Thus, just a brief revision before the test. But, I met my friend, Wan Nabila (Part 2) with her own reason: "LECTURER AKU TAK MASUK KELAS EH DULU!" Hahaha. WTV.

Symptom: Cannot upload the desired photos for this post onto the web.
Cause: The Celcom broadband network macam haram jadah tak boleh upload pulak time ni!

but but but

I managed to call Cath from Enfiniti Productions earlier this week to ask her the status on my booking of the Puteri Gunung Ledang the Musical 3 Limited Edition OST CD.

AND

I asked her since I'm already back in Segamat, is it nearly possible for me to get the CD because, if the demand is high, they might release and sell it to the public to finish it fast.


Me
: Hello. May I speak to Cath.

Cath: Yes, speaking.

Me: Regarding the OST CD, I'm back in Segamat so, it's impossible for me to retrieve it this week. So, if you're in hurry to sell it, you can release it to the public. I will only be back in Shah Alam in another 2 weeks *nada nada sedih*

Cath: Oh really. When it is possible for you to pick it up?

Me: *shocked (I thought she didn't understand that I was saying 2 WEEKS)* Heh? 2 weeks, that is, a week after next week.

Cath: Okay. You may pick up next 2 weeks.

Me: ARE YOU SURE?!

Cath: Yes.

Me: *chicky belly dance. oopps. clap-happy dance*

And, what just sweetened my week is, when I checked my e-mail, Chedd responded on my message on his Facebook:


Chedd wrote on your Wall:

"great! let me know when u r coming so we can go makan makan kat office saya ok"

Alright Chedd! ngeh ngeh ngeh. Did I sound way too excited?

I think I am!

Haha.

Guys, the PGL3 fever isn't over yet.

See, every cloud has a silver lining, ain't it?

:D

Demi masa.



Demi masa,

Sesungguhnya manusia dalam kerugian.

(103:1-3)


Hari ni ada cerita menarik untuk dikongsi dan dijadikan pengajaran:

Aku bangun pagi dan Idora bertanyakan kepadaku, "Can u do me a fvr?.,u nk kuar x?" Perkataan "nk kuar x?" tu aku dah dapat agak yang dia akan suruh aku amek dia kat mana-mana. Lantas aku reply kepadanya dengan berkata, lesen aku tertinggal kat Shah Alam jadi tak boleh drive. Hahaha. Serious! Aku tertinggal lesen memandu aku kat Shah Alam, dalam kereta.

Jadi, Minah sorang je la yang boleh drive. Aku tolong carikkan kereta dan dekat Wing aku ni ada nombor kereta sewa jadi aku sapu je la. Iswara AUTO. Sebab Minah tak tau/takut/tah la apsal dia tanak bawak manual. Haha.

Aku call abang (abang? Faidz cakap baya umur aku kot. Hahahaha. Okay lah, senior, abang.) tu cakap nak sewa kereta tapi abang tu duduk TS (Taming Sari) pulak. Jadi, aku suruh Faidz yang amek. Nak dijadikan cerita (Minah yang cerita), Faidz main pergi je bilik yang aku suruh tu (aku rasa dia tersalah bilik) dan terus cakap "Aku yang call ko tadi". HAHAHA. Boleh tak? Pastu, bila dapat kereta Kancil, diorang cakap, "Aspa, weh, macam mana nak muat diorang dow, kancil pulak."

Aku macam hot gak la. Aku rasa, abang tu cakap ISWARA tadi tapi macam mana leh dapat Kancil kan. Rupa-rupanya, Minah cakap, Faidz tersalah bilik (tapi Faidz cakap dia tak tersalah bilik. Haha). Lepas tu, bukan main lama aku tunggu kat SR, diorang call, cakap kereta Iswara tu tak boleh nak start engine. Aiyo. Jadi diorang retrieve kereta Kancil tadi.

Kancil pon Kancil la.

Sesampainya kat area Upwell, Segamat tu (Idora, Wawa, Yuni, Shiran tidur Hotel Golden Lake sebab bas diorang sampai lambat malam tadi.) aku nampak ada 4 orang termasuk Idora. Aku ingat nak amik dia je. Tetibe ada 4 ORANG! Bapak ah. Macam mana nak muat dow. Terpaksalah bersempit.

Shiran (belakang Uncle McD), Yuni, aku

Ni mengingatkan aku peristiwa di Sarawak dulu. Masa balik raya, daripada Kuching International Airport nak ke UiTM kat Kota Samarahan.

Aku sampai KCH pukul 1730hrs tapi aku tunggu member aku yang turun pukul 1900++hrs untuk balik sama dengan diorang tapi member kitorang lak, bawak KANCIL jugak. Allah. Tapi masa tu kesan 'ke-sardin-an' dia lagi teruk sebab:

1. Bag Samsonite aku bapak besar (boleh penuh seat belakang kereta Kancil).
2. Yang datang amek, Udin, dengan sape tah lagi sorang aku tak ingat nama dia. Yang dok tunggu kat Airport, aku, Wan, Paly, Antibiotik.
3. Masing-masing baggage besar-besar bagak dan banyak.

Tapi mende-mende macam ni, pengalaman, yang membuatkan hidup lagi seronok. HAHAHA. Ye ke. Bengong.

Pengajaran dia:

Jangan bawak kereta Kancil, bawak sampai 3 orang untuk amek 4 orang lagi! Hoho.

Kalaulah Abah Kata Yang...

...dia susah besarkan aku selama ni, aku tak tau apa jadi dengan aku pastu...aku jadi pandai sebab terkenang mama abah ataupun memberontak.

Hello.

Aku dah on the way balik Segamat, online dalam bas ni. Bosan-bosan kan, haha.

Abah hantar aku kat bus stand sec 17 tadi. Mula-mula aku taknak pegi kat bus stand dulu, ingat bas belum sampai. Tapi, abah perasan, bas Cepat Ekspres, ke Segamat dah sampai.

Aku naik, cari tempat duduk, duduk, lepas tu nampak abah tunggu aku kat bench bus stand.
Aku tiba-tiba rasa sedih+rasa bersalah. Sebab rasanya macam sebagai seorang anak, aku gagal buat parents aku happy dengan kejayaan aku. In fact, aku rasa macam aku banyak gagal dan kecewakan diorang walaupun abah dengan mama dah banyak bekorban. Terbang sana sini, duit lagi, untuk besarkan aku.

Lantas, aku hantar mesej kat Aida. Hantar kat dia ni best sebab dia selalu faham situasi macam mana dan macam cool je aku rasa.

'Erm,smua ank rase bnda yg sma.klu xrse mcm 2,xtau la.tp bg sorg mak ayah dorg cuma nk yg tbaik utk ank2,xkira ank2 kcewakn mcm mna pn.ank2 bhagia dorg sggup bsush pyh.lgpn,bnda ni tggjwb.ko akn rse benda yg sama bila ko ada ank nnti. Btl. Adk kita pn kita syg sgt,apatah lg ank sndiri..Syg tu xdpt dkira.sbb tu kite xboleh lupa jasa dorg.mintk2 jgn la.lbh2 lg ank llaki ni.hm,tebus blik klau kita rase mcm 2...'

See?

Reply yang menarik. Buatkan aku lagi terfikir macam mana posisi aku sebagai seorang abah nanti.

Tapi,

Kenapa abah tak pernah merungut pun yang abah penat itu ini, abah turutkan setiap apa yang anak dia nak walaupun aku rasa menyusahkan dia. Aku pun kadang-kadang tak faham kehidupan ni kadang-kadang.

Hurm...

Of J.Co and Pavilion

*topic edited* haha

Pavilion KL

Menjadi jakun di Pavilion

Baru sahaja balik dari Pavilion, KL. Dapat jumpa Syakira, my long time best friend. Amat sayangkan dia. Haha. Serious. Dapat jumpa pun syukur alhamdulillah.

Syakira Diyana

Masing-masing cuti sempena maulidur rasul kan, jadi melambak, bersepah lah budak-budak sekolah, cuti, tak lupa juga kawan-kawan kolej yang cuti.

Aiman, Bone, Azfar

Apsal pose aku macam tu? Punddd...

Dunia menjadi gelap dan bosan apabila kawan Bone, adalah juga kawan kepada Hanis (bukan Hanis Zalikha eh.). ALLAH. TAKDE KAWAN LAIN KE? Hahaha. Dan, Nak dijadikan cerita, tengah-tengah lepak kat J.CO, ternampak muka familiar.

Arghh...muka budak UiTM Segamat. Muka yang aku jumpa kat kelas Ms Ida selepas kelas ACC115, sebelum start BEL120 dengan Ms Ida. Kawan Mutiara kot.

Haiyoh. Appppaaaadaaaahh! Nak pusing jauh mana ni?

Tolong lahh..

Hoho.

Tapi, apa yang menarik perhatian aku kat J.CO tu tadi, sebelah meja aku, ada Malay couple yang lifestyle dia agak macam Western sikit. Tu aku tak kesah. Tapi yang ter-kesah dia, cara dia ajar anak dia salam orang tua. Hoho. Am I a particular, fussy person? Aku tengok anak dia salam kawan dia, salam je pastu hangguk kepala. HEH? Agak pelik. Tak ke kita salam orang tua, salam cium tangan?

Apa kata korang?



Perihal Hantu yang Menakutkan Pelajar

Awal minggu ni, Hanis Zalikha bertanyakan kepada aku,

(not original msg, original msg dah lupe. hoho. tapi lebih kurang lah bunyinya)


Miss HZ: Azfar Rahim?

Mr AR: Yes. Sorry lah kat maxis takde credit. Sape ni?

Miss HZ: Hanis Zalikha.

Mr AR: Oh. Hi! Haha. How r u?

Miss HZ: M great M great. This time around nak try naik public transport, you balik bila? Dah ada teket?

Mr AR: Oh, dah, Transnasional, 9AM, Sabtu.

Miss HZ: Alamak, takkan I nak stay kat UiTM ni kot. Seram kot.



see the word seram?

tuptup,

Miss Hanis Zalikha dah ada tiket Cepat Ekspres hari yang sama, waktu yang sama iaitu, sama bas dengan Fatin Idora, my classmate.

Tapi,

Malam semalam, selepas selesai tamat test Financial Accounting ACC115, aku sempat menghantar pesanan ringkas kepada Ms Hanis Zalikha bertanyakan khabar, rupa-rupanya dah on the way balik!

Hish.

Adakah Ms Hanis Zalikha berasa sungguh seram sehinggakan meninggalkan UiTM dengan kadar segera kerana budak ramai dah balik?

Tanya dia sendiri untuk jawapan lanjut.

Ada ke hantu kat uitm segamat?

haha.

Setakat ni, aku mengumpul semua pernyataan mengenai hantu kat uitm segamat ni. Agak popular la hantu uitm segamat ni (tapi google hantu uitm segamat tak popular pun)

Okay Hanis, I terang dalam blog.

Masa mula-mula I masuk uitm, my friend, budak part 6, GG ada ckp, ada 'sweet' depan bilik I. sebab ada pokok besar la hape la. Time tu agak seram ah.

Time dalam meeting wing pon, ada cakap, bilik I is one of the haunted room at my wing.

And setakat ni, I tak pernah jumpa/nampak pocong, 'sweet', toyol etc. Alhamdulillah.

TAPI,

First encounter dengan incident yang agak abnormal:

dah lewat malam time tu, tak ingat pukul berapa. ada orang ketuk pintu bilik. dua kali ketuk tak silap (p/s to eSRians, bukan ketuk SR, okay.) di luar kedengaran sunyi sepi macam takde orang. so, i dengan confidentnya, bukak la pintu. tapi takde orang. think positive, think positive, mungkin orang tu salah bilik.

Betul ke takde orang?

Aku doubt that bila ada senior cakap, "ko baik-baik la duduk wing tu, kalau ada orang ketuk pukul 2-3 pagi, jangan bukak, faham-faham lah ok," "kalau ada bunyik macam orang lumba lari, macam bunyik kuda lari, jangan bukak pintu".

And,

ramai dah nasihatkan I supaya baik-baik dengan pokok besar depan bilik tu.

And,

Ramai dah cakap pasal hantu kat uitm segamat tu termasuk lecturer pon ada cakap pokok besar kat roundabout (yang ni I tak tau kat mana). Dengar cerita, yang tu, pakcik UK (unit keselamatan (haha) ) bunuh diri sebab dia suka kat sorang lecturer ni. jadi hantu dia berkeliaran. tapi, tak tau la.

Dan malam semalam jugak, lepas test ACC115, lepak jap kat speaker's corner, tiba-tiba perasan ada pokok kayu ara kat situ.

Orang ramai cakap la, pokok kayu ara ni berpenunggu. Tapi, I tak tau.

Baca ayat kursi banyak-banyak, kuatkan hati & diri. Insya Allah boleh.

:D
