The Explanation

Salam.

Kawan aku tanye, what happened to you? kat Facebook. Aku bace, ha? Ape yang jadi kat aku? Boley lak aku tanye diri sendiri balik.haha..ini mesti gara-gara status tuh. Ke? Betul ke?

Simple je statusnye, Sedih~ that's it! Tapi ade banyak makna kan? Ramai yang komen, tanye, apsal ko? Putus cinta? Fail exam? Mule la wat kesimpulan yang langsung xde kene mengene. Lawak tol! Aku tak jawab, tapi aku delete teros status tuh. Pastu aku ganti ngan status baru, okay...no more sad stuff... itupun ade yang still dengan kesimpulan bahawa aku dah putus cinta or pasal result. Duhh, aku single camnew nak putus? Result blom kuar takkan dah emo? Waduh...

Aku wat status gitu sebab time tuh kawan aku accident (read entry "The News"). And belum sedar lagi. So, of course la emo. Tapi yang paling emo skali sebab aku macam kene marah plak ngan kawan aku lagi sorang. Takde mende pun sebenanye, yang aku pi tanya soklan bongok tu kenape. Hamekkaw!

So, itulah sebab disebalik status Sedih~ itu. Bila dapat tau kawan aku tu dah sedar, aku wat lah status lagi satu tuh. And now sume orang igt aku tgh berduka cita. Time tu je lah.hukhuk!

So, onnie, does this answer your question?

Innocence

Salam.

Raya korang dah abes? Senyap-sunyi je aku dengar (eyh?). Raya aku bakal start lagi skali esok or lusa. Insyaallah balik kampung my father pulak. Mane taknyew, abang aku dah 8 tahun tak jumpe atuk die kat Mersing tuh. Macam tak percaya kan? Beselah, abang aku cuti raya 4 tahun sekali je. Nak cari rezeki kene lah berkorban kan?

So, actually aku ttibe rindu sesangat kat little cousins aku. Time ktrg jumpe balik raya aritu, mak aii...macam super glue! Melekat kat aku sampai nak tido pun dorang bole ajak main lagi (nak kata budak2 suka engkau ke?). :P

Aku memang ske layan budak2. Maybe sebab eventho aku dah berumur (haha...sedar diri), tpi aku masih rasa cam budak2 dihati (weekk!). So dorang pun bole masuk ar...aku kira bole turun ke level dorang yang masih kecik tuh. Yang paling best, bila aku tanye soklan ape2, dorang mesti jawab dengan innocent nye. Alahai!

Ade sekali tuh, time aku tgh layan drg, Rayka, cousin aku umo 4 taun wat statement comel sgt. Aku bukak la spek aku kejap sbb yelah spek pun dah berumur. Ttibe muka die trus berubah yang memang macam hairan betul sampai aku pun terkejut gak. Apsal budak nih?

Terus die cakap: "Ehh...akak Ira dah jadi orang lain laa..." Aku pun pelik la: "Ha? Ape yang jadi orang lain nye?" Die balas: "Kalau kak Ira bukak spek mate, kak Ira jadi orang lain..." Sambil tangan die pakaikan balik spek aku. Pastu die cakap: "Haaa...tgk kan orang lain." die bukak balik spek: "ha orang lain pulak."
Yang aku baru paham, owh...hahaha...comel gile!

Ade lagi srg, Awyn. Die pulak jenis Minah kelakar. Umo 4 tahun jugak. Skang ni, cite popular kat tv tu ape, Karoot Komedia an? Die ske tgk cite tuh. Ape lagi, dialog2 sume hafal lah. Sekali tu, mak die terdengar die cakap kat cousin die yang lain time tgh main, "Aku tumbuk muka kau!" puhahaha!! Aku pun pernah kene gak. Adoi.

Pastu ade sekali, bapak die kejutkan die bangun, tapi budak2 kan mmg liat sket bangun nih. Bapak die marah lah die. Sambil bangun mamai2 tuh, mata terpejam lagi, die cakap: "Ade aku kesah..." Adoi...awyn, awyn..haha.. Tapi tak elok jugak, tak baik cakap kat parents camtu. So don't galakkan adik2 or cousin2 anda ye.

Rindu nak jadi kanak-kanak balik. Drg sangat innocent. Bila cakap dorang memang honest sehonest honestnye! (Jangan tiru ayat ni jugak!)

Tudung merah Rayka, and Awyn.
Kecik2 cili api betol!
(Ye, same picture aku guna entry lepas2, recycle!)

Hellow Kitty

Hi, the name is adik. I am the most adorable cat in this house (okay, actual translation: mengada-ngada!). This was taken this morning while he was taking a fresh air outside my bedroom window. Well, sort of. He was too preoccupied to even notice me. I had to knock on the window to get his attention for this photo. I can tell he's thinking : Oh, not her again...~ :)

The News

Ahhh! Nak pecah otak aku! Dengan sakit kepala bagai. Dan message yang aku dapat tadi sikit pun tak membantu. Aku ingat siapa yang message. Turns out it was Kay. He told me a very shocking news about Kaer. Of course la aku terkejut. Bila aku tanya dia details, dia macam nak marah aku pulak dah. But, I didn't mind cause I knew he's in a bad situation. I would be that way too if I was him. The news? Tak payah la aku cerita lanjut.

Apa2 pun, even though Kaer dengan aku selalu bertekak tiap2 kali jumpa, dan kadang2 aku annoyed sesangat dekat dia, tapi bila macam ni, siapa tak sedih kan. Kepada kawan2 aku yang lain, korang keep praying okay. May Allah save him and protect him. Amin...

Dogs Best Friend

Salam.

See the picture? That's John Unger with his dog Schoep. No, he wasn't trying to drown the dog or anything. But he was trying to help him. See the dog has a disease called arthritis. Because of the pain, the dog has trouble sleeping. Of course, who could stand seeing your friend in pain like that, so every morning, John took Schoep to lake Superior and sooth him to sleep. The cold water helps to ease the dogs aching bones and help him to fall asleep. 

Pictures tell a thousand words. When I first saw this photo and heard the story behind it, I cried so bad. I love animals too especially cats. Knowing what he does everyday for his dog makes me feel so happy. Get well soon Schoep!

Don't Judge a Person by His Hair?

Salam.

Speed story. Went for dinner outside with my family and there was this couple sitting right next to us. The guy was quite handsome, fair, and tall. But the first thing I noticed about him was his hair. He had this short, black military like hair but with some sort of design that was coloured with white dye at the back. I thought, woaa...he must be a hard-rock guy. He looked -ganas.

So forgetting about them, we ate and ate. I didn't notice at first since I was busy eating, but when I took a glimpse at the guy, seeing what I saw, my mouth inevitably went open. The guy was eating using his hand!
Okay, so what so weird about that? People do that all the time. Again let me remind you, we were at a diner and he looked -ganas! (can't use English word cause then it'd be weird).

I smiled and I just thought to myself, no matter how you look you just can't hide your true nature. In his case - budak kamdar! (kampung + bandar). And that's a good thing.

So guys don't judge a person by his hair yea!

Sebelum ape2, aku ucapkan Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Belum terlambat lagi kan? Maaf zahir batin kepada sesiapa yang mengenali aku. Anywho, straight to the point, raya tahun ni, aku beraya di Kuala Kangsar Perak. Bukan tahun ni je, tahun2 yang lepas and akan dtg jugak.

Macam bese lah, tiap2 hari raya, 1st day pergi sembahyang raya. Yang tak pergi, siap2 kat rumah. Bila semua dah balik sembahyang, semua org dah siap. Bila semua dah gather, kitrg terus beratur, then sesi minta maaf dan bersalam2man pun start. Owh, tak lupa juga sesi memberi duit raya la.

Dah selesai bersalam-salaman, semua org keluar ke depan untuk sesi ambik gambar pulak. Memang semua pose bagai nak rak..haha..termasuk lah aku. Pas selesai bergambo, ktrg akan buat rombongan cik kiah (berjalan kaki) pula ke rumah family kat sebelah2. Pastu balik, naik kereta, pergi pulak ke rumah family jauh skit. Itu la rutin nyer tiap2 tahun.

So, ade la beberapa story kelakar time hari raya. Cekidaut!

2) Cousin aku, Rayka (tudung merah) telah mengenakan adik aku Shah (baju ungu) dengan terbaiknya! Kisahnya, mak aku bg Rayka duit raya, tapi adik aku sambar. So ikuti lah perbualan kami:

Shah: Ni abang Shah punya duit raya lah.

Rayka: Aaaaaa, mane aci!! (sambil terbaring kat lantai)

Aku: Aci kat India la Rayka.

Rayka: Ha...aci kat India. (Die ckp kat adik aku)
Aku: Shah, bagi la kat die. (tak lame pastu, die bagi pastu blah)

Rayka ambik, smbil sengih sampai telinga. Then die selinap belakang adik aku, korang tau ape die buat? Hahahaha.... die sekeh kepala adik aku sambil cakap, "Aci kat india!" lepas tu jalan selamber...haha, padan muka adik aku, bayar cash!

3) Raya second, pakcik aku dengan malunye tersalah aku dengan makcik aku. Die igt aku makcik aku. Mase ade org dtg umah, pakcik aku ttibe cuit aku smbil ckp, "Nak bagi duit raya ke kat drg?" Aku pun toleh, aku pelik tapi geleng je la tak tau. Bile pakcik aku nampak muka aku je, die terkejut beruk. "Eh, la, igt maklang tadi..." ahahahahha....paklang malu! Aku hanya mampu tergelak beso je..haha..

4) Time ambik gamba, second raya, macam biasa akan ade gmba gila2 mak and makcik2 aku adik beradik. Mama aku (terduduk kat lantai) nak soh adik2 die angkat die. Tapi tak terangkat smpai kain pun terselak.. haha...Actually, ade banyak yang kelakar, tapi aku bole letak gamba selepas kejadian je sbb yang lain censored sket..haha..

Okay, itu je episode klaka. Ade lagi la cite2 klaka, tapi kalau nak letak cini, sampai bile pun tak abes..
Selamat Hari Raya!!!

Seriously

Wow, I got a visit from Emma Watson, Ayu Raudhah, Spice Girls, Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears and Kristen Stewart on my blog!!

Seriously guys....don't be too obvious. Pick another name.

The Unprofessional Member

Salam.

I've never been so frustrated with someone (for sometime) as I was with this one girl. I know you must be thinking (or not), she must've done something significant to me that she managed to get a spot here in my blog. Well, yes. She was what should I say, an unprofessional, inconsiderate and ignorant human being. (You should be proud. I summarized you in 3 words!)

Anyhow, what exactly did she do? Let me start form the beginning. There was this class, (no need to mention it here), where she was chosen to become one of our group members. Which was all right (this was before we knew who exactly she really was). So we got our first assignment; we had to find out everything about this 18th century poet and present it in class. We divided our parts, and then came up with our slides for the presentation. The thing is, 2 days before the presentation, we still haven't got her part of the work. So we messaged her (thank god we did) asking her have you sent your slides, and she said, she forgot to make them! She was at the airport to go somewhere out of the country!

See the thing is, we don't mind her going to wherever she was going. But, she forgot her part, which was unacceptable. Of course, we said it's all right. And she said she'd ask someone else to make her slides. In the end, we got 'her part' and it was made by someone else in the same class, but from a different group.
Did I mentioned she wasn't there during the presentation?

The next thing she did to us totally made us furious. We had another assignment, which was to read or act or whatever, a play called Pygmalion. So she made a suggestion to get together and read them for practice. We agreed to have the discussion on last Monday and Tuesday's night at 9 p.m. (the presentation was on Wednesday). So, Monday night came, and we decided to message her again to remind her. But she didn't reply. I was getting impatient so I gave her a call. Her first words made me want to shoot somebody (by somebody I meant her!).

She said she was at home. She couldn't come back because the bus ticket was no longer available. And of course I said it's okay, (I was lying clearly) we'll meet tomorrow. Didn't it even occur to her to tell us she couldn't make it?

So then tomorrow night came, and this time, I got a message from her saying that she had break-fast outside campus and she wasn't sure when she'll be back. Then she said she'll call me back. So, we went to the discussion and wait for her call. An hour passed, then another hour, and another hour. There was no call from her. The time was almost 1 p.m. Then we realized she was never going to call. We head back to our rooms with nothing. Why didn't she just call me and say she wont be coming??

Then Wednesday came, the day for the presentation. She came in late (as she always does), and apologized to us. She asked us if we had a discussion last night. Without even looking at her, I said in my head "Of course we did what did you think?!" I just couldn't look at her because I was furious. Then that was it. Just a simple apologize and everything is fine.

Of course it wasn't. Before I realized it, I got up and pulled her hair so hard that they snapped out of her head. (I gave her a bald spot). She cried so bad. And then I laughed frantically. I was satisfied with myself.

Do you see now why I put her on my blog? I have never met anybody like her before. Seriously. I really hope I never have to again!

IA - Okay, I didn't pull her hair. But how I wish I could.

Food for Thought

Salam.

So yesterday a bunch of us went to Gombak for break-fast. We ate a lot of things. By things I meant food. Our insides were literally screaming STOP! But of course, with that much food lying in front of you that you, yourself had ordered, got you thinking, what a waste would it be if we stop eating. And wasting is never good ladies and gentlemen! Especially during Ramadhan.

So we ate and ate until we couldn't any more. Well actually, we can never really be full. Did you know that it doesn't matter how full we feel, but if we want to eat some more, our dearest stomach will try its best to provide rooms (though you don't necessarily have to fill them up!). Yes ladies an gentlemen. It is a fact. So be gentle with your stomach. There's only so much they can take.

So yea, that's about food. I'll try and give more stories when I get the chance.

Feast your eyes~

Life Goes On

Salam.

So here I am, writing this piece. I haven't slept yet. I was busy doing my assignment which by the way should've been done like ages ago. Well, where's the fun in that. The last-minute-ter the better. I don't think this particular word exist so please don't try it.

Now I'm looking at my cat. This normal-looking cat is by the way, a weird cat. Sometimes she just run off for no reason. Cats do that sometimes don't they? Wonder why. And sometimes I see her twisting her head 180 degrees to lick her fur. Literally. Which had made my mouth stayed open for a few seconds as a sign of amazement. Cats are amazing! And this is the first time I know a cat who doesn't eat fish.

I'll be heading back to campus this afternoon. Seriously not in the mood. I honestly don't think I'd hear anything in class. I've lost my concentration. Listening to people presenting in front is not the option when you got a computer in front of you. Well, they don't even listen to me when I was presenting. So there you go.

He wasn't there today. I mean yesterday. Last night. I was waiting for him. I'm not a stalker by the way. I really am not. I'm a girl for God sake! Okay, I'm a stalker. He probably won't talk to me any more if he knew about this particular news. Speaking of which, another person wants to marry me. He makes two now. I'm in a dilemma. I don't quite see myself in that position yet. It's terrifying! Maybe because they are both strangers to me. I don't know them so it would be a little complicated to decide.

Basically that's all for now. 2 weeks worth of stories in one short entry.

And I said nothing happens to me.

The Great Day

Salam.

Okay, so really it wasn't a great day. We went out yesterday, to Masjid Jamek. Of course, to take the car would mean you're engaging yourself in a war, so mum decided to take the public transport. That was the beginning of the so-called 'great day'. When we arrived at the station and bought the token, we went to the platform, and we heard the train. So all the four of us; mum, big brother, younger sister and I ran up the escalator and - without much thinking jumped inside.

So after a few stops, my big brother suddenly whispered to us, "I think we got the wrong train." with an embarrassed smile. Yes, we did. We took the other train. We were sort of baffled for a few seconds but then burst into laugh simultaneously, in the train, full of people who are, by the way, staring at us with weird looks. We acted cool as if nothing happened but the laugh was unhideable. Is there such word?

So, we got off on the next stop and changed platform. When we finally arrived, there were like hundreds of people on that station and I was amazed. Literally. What were these people doing here?! Oh, right, the same reason with us. Did I mention I almost got stuck on the platform because of the swarm of people? I could't literally, find any hole to squeeze myself into to get out. Luckily, I got out. Safe and sound. Well, not really, I was irritated.

Big bro had to go back up Genting Highland so only the 3 of us left. Again, people, people! Lots and lots of people. I guess we had to face the war after all. We buy, buy, buy and we head back to the station. Another war was waiting for us. My little sister had to queue up in a 5 different lines for one machine! I don't understand. Mum and I wait on the other side for her. We waited again for an hour until she was done getting her token. She phoned me and told me, people were cutting the lines in front of her.

I got up, ran to the people and killed them all. With a gun. Just shooting at point blank. Then other people cheered for me. Okay, so I didn't kill those people. I don't even own a gun. But, even if I did shoot those people, why would they cheer for me? Come on.

Then we got into the train, and yes after making sure that it was the right one and head to a restaurant to break our fast. It was a great day wasn't it? Well it would have if I did shoot those people.

Nothing Here

"Nothing happens to me." - I didn't realized I quoted John on my previous entry. He said the same thing. And just like him, I realized, this is not true. So many things are going on around me. It's a matter of how significant those things are to me and whether they are worth telling at all. John finally realized that his stories are those of which he got as a consequence of getting involved with Sherlock. But he loved it.

As for me, I don't have a friend like Sherlock, though it would be interesting if I did. But I do have friends, and a bunch of other things. And I think that these things are worth telling about. It doesn't matter if people don't read what I write. What matters that it helps me get through my life. I need the excitement. If I leave it, I'll will surely miss it. Therefore, - after a few hours of thinking, I decided not to let go of this blog.

Tell me, how many of you thought that I wasn't serious in the first place?

IA

Leave and Let Go

I'm thinking of closing down this blog. It's been 3 years now. Looking at it, all those years ranting, babbling and exaggerating does not seem worth it. I mean, this blog is supposed to be like my personal journal. Yet, I don't feel what I write any more. What should I write about? Nothing happens to me. I'm not interesting. I'm not extraordinary, let alone special. In fact I am a boring person. Just look at how I'm writing this post. Even I notice how boring I am.

So who actually read what I write? I can only think of one person. But that's it. I think I'll just give it some time before I decide whether to stay or let it go.

Sher-Locked

Okay, so now I'm addicted to Sherlock. Hence the name of this blog was born. I've known about this particular figure for a long time - as I am sure all of you do too - and I do love watching Sherlock Holmes. Yet my affection towards him did not arrive until I saw Sherlock on the telly. It was an amazing piece. Of course the show is only based on the work Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. They changed certain things on the show but the main idea is still there.

The show sets on the modern day. This modern day Sherlock uses the Internet, blog, cellphone, and of course, laptop. Which makes this show different from the movie version and I should be honest, more interesting. Their blogs are very interesting to read, especially John's. Yes, their blogs exist! Look it up on the internet.

I love the character of Sherlock whom John Watson described as 'an arrogant, imperious, pompous' guy. He's really an inspiration. He was the founder of the science of deduction and I tell you, the way he deduct things is - again, what John always say; 'fantastic', 'brilliant', and 'wonderful'. His attitude however, not so much. But then again, the way John described Sherlock when he thought Sherlock was dead "You are the best man, and the most human, human being that I've ever known..." - made me rethink my view.

Sherlock maybe an amazing genius when it comes to deducting things. But he is also human, and he cares though he doesn't show it. John understands him and Sherlock knows it. That's what I like about the both of them. Okay, so now he's my inspiration. How did this came to be? Why don't you make your own deduction. Be Sher-locked!

P/s: If you want to kill Sherlock, please don't confuse him with John.
