I am the frog who refuses to get out of my coconut shell.

Weekend baru ni kan pegi Kedah for majlis Cia belah lelaki pulak. I dunno, maybe because I was too tired or not enough sleep, petang Sabtu tu aku pi bantai tidur instead of following mom to Pekan Rabu yang sangat hampir dengan hotel. And the next morning pulak lepas breakfast pi sambung tidur sampai masa untuk berkemas dan checkout.

Bila dah balik rumah, baru terasa macam loser. I mean, I was geared up with my digihari and should take the opportunity to grab some pics for my tumblr updates.

Instead, it seems like sleep is much more important to me. Aigoo. I am thirty plus YO, and I think I should see the world more before it's too late, don't you think?

Can somebody take me away please?

Humpty Dumpty Had A Great Fall

Photo via http://anticap.wordpress.com/

Had a dream this afternoon. I was inside a bus when suddenly I was suspended in the air for a short while and had a free fall. It was an earthquake. What happened afterwards was what you normally see in the movies.

But the feeling of the suspension and the free fall was real.

Zombi Kopi

(masa buat benda alah ni, tgh bosan and sangap and mengantuk, and nak minum kopi sangat2 di opis hinsssssss saje post kat tumblr gak :P)

ZOMBI KOPI

Pagi petang siang malam
Kopi kopi kopi
Sampai muka pun dah naik hitam
Bagai zombi kopi

Katakan sahaja
Nescafe?
Indocafe?
Kopi putih OldTown?
Aik Cheong?
Kopi vending machine murahan juga dibedal
(Cuma bolehkah terjadi
jika minum kopi putih
muka jadi putih?
Hm.)

Tiada kopi enak - marah
Tiada air panas - marah
Tiada gula dan krimer - marah
Oops, gariskan marah pada air panas
Tiada air panas - meletup

Pagi petang siang malam
Ketagih kopi
Namun, ia lebih bagus daripada
Ketagih rokok
Ketagih maksiat
Ketagih dosa

Tak mengapalah jadi zombi kopi

In the mood for The Grasshopper Song by Sunny Hill

My current jam.

I have another 3 minutes of time-off.

In the mood for Jay Park's song in Rooftop Prince.

It has been a challenging month, last April. Lots of things happened in one go. Most of them are ridiculous, to keep the story short: having to layan a big baby with an enormous tantrum ever. Sigh. No more layaning that person ever again. Buang masa dan buang tenaga. Baik aku layan Rooftop Prince.

Ok 3-minute time-off is up.

Sekarang ni jam 1:26am. Duduk kat bus stop depan opis, semata2 nak download. Bukannya tak boleh nak kejar bas 1:20am tadi, tapi oleh kerana dah bawak Gary ni, duduk la kejap mendunlut. Begitulah nasib orang yang menggunakan talian tenet super slow kat rumah. Sigh. Orang unifi ni kata nak masuk hujung bulan 1, ni dah masuk bulan 4 pun tak masuk2 lagi. Gaban giler okey.

Agenda untuk bulan ni... oh baru teringat, hari ini ialah hari kelahiran saya dalam bulan Hijriah. Dan lima hari lagi pula hari jadi bulan Masihi muhehehehe. Saje je nak jadi random.

So agenda untuk bulan ini, selain daripada membuat translasi... tak de kot. Cuma terasa sejak membuat sub untuk Attic Prince ni, tak de la rasa di hujung nyawa nak mengejar deadline. Mungkin sebab banyak ayat yang berulang2, dan juga sebab jalan cerita dia bes...

Hmm apa lagi.

Ada la jugak terasa nak duk rumah Puncak Alam sana (RUMAH UNTUK DISEWA - SILA TINGGALKAN INFO DI RUANG KOMEN), tapi memandangkan nak buat trans ni perlu ada google dan site DBP untuk rujukan, maka terpaksalah membatalkan hasrat buat masa ini. Sigh.

Seriously, I don't know what to blog. There are no significant events that I want to share publicly, jadi itu menyumbang kepada bloggers' block sekarang ni. Huhuhuhu.

Entry ni sekadar untuk cukup syarat (dan mengiklan RUMAH PUNCAK ALAM UNTUK DISEWA whuuhuhwuhuwhuwuh.)

Breaking the Norm.

iTunes playin' UUU by Wheesung

No, actually taking a break from translating.

It was a hectic month, March was. Mostly because of the wedding held for my sisters. Lots of thing happened, one of it would be one of the celebrated sisters warded due to bacteria infection. Agak sedih la, knowing how much she had spent - money, energy and time - for her wedding to go well. Hmm, takpelah, dah takdir Allah nak jadi macam tu. I won't story much about the wedding, apart from the event went for 3 days straight. Penatnya sampai sekarang tak sudah. And I did not have the heart to speak back to Mum yang expects me to do every housework all by myself, now there's no one else at home. Cukuplah kan pasal tu. Buat penat je nak fikir. All I know I have to be stronger now.

Apart from the wedding, it was also tiring since I had to back up one of my colleague. Masalahnye bukan the backing up, but another back up. Let's just say that back up did not live up to the words and promises made - in other words, agak menyusahkan aku jugak la. And also kisah sistem buat pasal big time pulak. Penat. Penat bangat.

Hopefully April this year will bring many happiness to me and the people around me.

Welcome, April, to my embrace.

Like, Whatever.

"The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off." - by someone I follow in Twitter

I just can't help thinking about something someone said to me when I mengumpat someone we both know when I thought of a close friend of mine suddenly while reminiscing something funny that my close friend would do.

So on that day, I mengumpat to that someone (B) about that someone we know (A), saying this that this that (well you should know how an umpatan goes, aduh banyaknye daging busuk yang saya makan huhuhuh) and then I said something about A was being too... annoyingly spoilt.

Then B suddenly said, "You cannot simply judge people. It's actually because of he upbringing that A becomes like that. You know, A was *like this like that* by her parents, that is why A is like that now. A cannot help it if it turns out like that."

B was defending A's behaviour badly, said that was not A's choice to be like that. B also made a reference to her own parents, who B claimed made her life super miserable now.

If it's not because B was so persistent that I couldn't even give my rebuttal, I've surely gave her a piece of my mind.

You see, I beg to differ slightly.

Yes, it is true that parents do influence their child's behaviour in a way or another. You can feel it in your own self. Whether they influenced you in a good way or in a bad way.

But that should not be the reason why your attitude sucks at this age. As you become older, you should become wiser, knowing what's wrong or right by yourself. You can change yourself to what you want to be. Your bad behaviours, being said which were influenced by your parents, should be able to be fixed by you yourself.

Do not, ever, fully blame your parents of how ugly your behaviour now. No matter how much you hate them.

If you think it's ugly, fix it. Change it and tailor it to what you want it to be. Put some botox or whatever enhanced surgery if you want.

The main thing is have some respect for your parents. They're the ones made you see the world. Even if they disown you, that does not erase the fact that you have their DNA in your stinking blood, you ungrateful bag of filthy flesh.

And it seems like you are a better expert in judging people (in this case, their parents). But then, whatever.

Mana Firaun Pakai Sultan...

Henpon playin' Uri Chigeum Manna (Let's Meet Now) by Leessang. Sangat sesuwei dengan waktu ini. Maksudnye marilah solat sekarang. Sebab dah Subuh.

Ni la... nak habaq mai pasal sorang fir'aun yang juga hamba Allah tapi tak sedar diri. Ada la sorang sohabat dia ni, membuat pasal, yang tak pasal2 aku jugak terlibat dengan sengaja. Bukan aku sengaja nak melibatkan diri, tapi sebab sohabat fir'aun ni juga tergolong dalam golongan hamba Allah yang tak sedar diri, maka dia pun membabitkan aku supaya menjadi rela dalam paksa.

Anyways nak jadikan cerita, si fir'aun ni pun mengadu kat aku pasal sohabat dia yang sorang ni, and I was like, what?? Aku hengat dia akan defend kemain la sohabat dia sorang ni, ghopenye dia pun tawa dalam tangisan jugak. Adey la. Payah kan kalau status bersohabat tu. Karang kalau sound depan2 ambik hati pulak. Dah la sohabat dia ni memang jenis kuat terasa. Nak jaga hati sohabat punye pasal, jadilah fir'aun tu tawa dalam tangisan.

So aku pun dengan halusnye memberi smekdaun sikit pada fir'aun tu. Kasi dia sedar diri sikit supaya tidak jadi sama level dengan sohabat dia yang agak keji jugak la.

Selepas itu sang kancil pun beramai-ramai pergi mengadap sultan fir'aun. Mana fir'aun pakai sultan.. ntah.

Eh ape da mengarut.

The Other Missing Segments.

There will be no other segments for my trip to Korea. None.

Reasons:
1. Dah tak ingat dia nye points yang nak disampaikan dalam Segment 2, 3 dsb.
2. Tenet buat pasal. Tensen la nak taip kalau asyik2 putus je. Ni dah kena gigit tikus kabel ni, lagi la tensen. In fact, I still have one entry in draft mode re kehilangan myKad. Bes cite tu. Tapi, tu lah, tenet buat pasal.
3. Dah tak de mood.

Cerita tenet menyakitkan hati.

Satu malam lepas balik keje... takleh connect langsung ke tenet. Bila sambungkan line telepon yang ada pada modem ni kepada telepon yang ada dalam bilik ni, telepon tu tak menyala.

Turun bawah. Tengok cable. Ok je. Tapi bila angkat telepon kat bawah (which is the main telephone in this house) lampu tak menyala gak. Takde dial tone. Langsung.

Cek balik cable.

Kena gigit tikus??????

GAH!

Tensen gua.

The Return of The Gary.

Yes. It's making its comeback.

The Gary's blog entries.

Coming back to my blogger. In Colemak. Hahaha sebenarnye tak de la menaip dalam Colemak. Belum lancar. Still belajar.

Yes, I am still learning Colemak. Quite an adventure, it is.

Ok la. Saje menaip ni. Sebab nak kena caj Gary ni ha. Lepas tu oleh sebab dah lama tak menaip kat sini dengan tidak memandang keyboard, maka banyaklah kesilapan huhuhuhuh.

Alhamdulillah tak pergi beli modem baru tadi. Alhamdulillah.

Had so many things to say, but have so little time. Just as an update to my internet-less weeks:
1. Berjaya tonton Miss Ripley, tapi tensen sebab Ep16 tak leh read. Nak dload balik tapi tenet buat pasal.
2. Berjaya tonton Baker King Kim Tak Goo... one of the dramas which I did not press the speed button... rasa macam everything in every scene perlu ditonton betul2 wooheeeee
3. Berjaya menghabiskan novel BM setebal 3 inci... dalam masa yang agak singkat.
4. Berjaya beli buku2 dalam siri No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency
5. Berjaya tonton No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency Ep2 :D
6. Tak berjaya buat blog entries disebabkan perkara2 di atas.

In the mood for watching Running Man

The final day untuk pergi berjalan2 di Seoul. Oleh kerana check-out time pukul 10 pagi, so nak tanak kena la pack siap2 untuk keluar. Barangan tinggal kat bilik Fadi dulu (sebab dia balik KL lambat lagi).

That's my bed over there. Baru clear nak ambik gambar. All these while tak ambik sebab takde housekeeping. Dah nama backpackers. Bilik di sebelah kanan tu ialah bilik air. Yessssss.... satu kangkang je dari katil.
