13 perkara tentang Ramadhan Al- Mubarak
1. Tarawikh
Sejak mendirikan rumahtangga, aku tak pernah ada chan pun nak gi terawih di surau, sebab anak aku kecik lagi, dan takde orang nak tengokkan, so kalau rajin aku akan berterawih di rumah. Biasanya aku buat 8 + 3 aje. Jangan lupa juga solat2 sunat yang lain serta solat wajib. (Yang itu no excuse)
2. Iqra’
Kalau bulan2 biasa macam liat aje nak baca Quran, ini la masa yang paling tepat untuk mengembalikan hubungan rapat dengan kitabullah. Daripada baca benda2 merapu seperti majalah atau buku cerita, lebih baik baca Quran dan terjemahannya. Masa terbaik bagi aku ialah lepas solat Maghrib sebelum menunggu waktu Isyak. Itu pun kalau Ikmal tak mengganggu minta itu ini. Tetapi kalau boleh, cuba amalkan selepas setiap solat.
3. Pasar juadah
I have a love hate relationship with pasar juadah ni. Suka sebab boleh beli hidangan2 yang jarang kita jumpa (my faves are siput masak lemak, bubur lambuk, mee yang berkuah mcm mee rebus atau laksa) dan nyampah sebab susah nak parking, sesak sangat dan kekadang masakan tu, macam tangkap muat aje. Kamon la bang, jangan la utamakan keuntungan aje.
4. Sabar
Entah ngapa, tahap kesabaran aku selalu sangat dicabar bila masuk bulan puasa ni. Tren lambat, badan letih, amoi minum ice blended coffee ngan selamba depan aku, Wentworth Miller, semua dugaan rasanya macam berlipat kali ganda setiap kali masuk bulan Ramadhan. Mungkin sebagai tanda agar kita menguatkan lagi tahap kesabaran dan keimanan di bulan yang mulia ini.
5. Sahur
Kalau dulu aku tak kisah, makan roti pun takpe, tapi sejak dah kawin, kenalah masak nasi ngan lauk ygn simple2. Alangkah bestnya kalau ada orang tolong aku siapkan sahur setiap malam…
6. Peak period
Entah mengapa setiap tahun sejak aku mula memasuki alam pekerjaan, setiap kali Ramadhan itu lah masa yang paling sibuk. Masa di audit firm dulu, rasanya setiap kali Ramadhan aku kena bertugas outstation, kejap kat Pahang, kat Kedah, tapi la ni, Alhamdulillah tak seteruk dulu, walaupun deadline tetap ada di hujung2 tahun nih. (i.e. untuk penyediaan bajet/ audit)
7. Lagu Raya
Aku suka dengar lagu2 raya, tapi tidaklah semasa baru dua tiga hari puasa. Tak seswai gitu. Hayati Ramadhan dan amalan2 di dalamnya sebelum bergembira menyambut datangnya Syawal. Insya Allah, raya takkan lari…
8. Kurangkan bercakap
Jika kita masih terlalu banyak bercakap, tendency untuk termengumpat tu memang ada, jadi, kurangkan sedikit berkata2 benda2 yang tak berfaedah, terutamanya mengumpat. Sia2 jek puasa kalau mulut tak habis mengomel dan mengata orang. (Mungkin aku kena minta maaf dengan Ina lepas nih…)
9. Banyakkanlah bersedekah
Teringat aku kat satu email ni…
Duit seringgit telah bertemu dengan lima puluh ringgit dan bertanya: "Oit, lama tak nampak, mana ko pergi?" Lima puluh menjawab " Aku pergi merata tempat. Pergi stadium tgk bola, naik STAR Cruise, gi KK naik AirAsia, lepak One Utama, konsert AF, M'sian Idol, tempat2 cam tuh lah. Eh, ko camner lak?" Duit seringit menjawab perlahan seraya menunduk, "Hmm..biasa lah.. Balik-balik tempat sama.. surau, masjid, surau... ".
Moral of the story : Takkan la asyik-asyik nak derma RM1 je kat masjid. Or surau, tambah la sikit, insya Allah, berpanjangan...
10. Berbuka puasa tak bermakna buka semua!
Rasa mcm nak telefon aje 8tv dan sound skit hos baru Quickie tu.
Camni citernya:
Rina Omar memberitahu rancangan seterusnya pada malam itu ialah Baywatch, tapi tak sesuai ditonton bagi mereka yang berpuasa (or Muslim in general ?), tapi si budak baru yang ganti Adam tu kata – “Takpe what. Kan dah berbuka ?” WTF? (Ya Allah, there goes my puasa point). Adakah ini bermakna, lepas berbuka kita bebas melakukan apa saja? Tak betul tu…
11. Membazir itu saudara syaitan
Dengan keadaan ekonomi sekarang ni yang mana harga minyak naik, ayam naik, sayur naik, blood pressure naik kecuali gaji aje yang tak naik2, ada baiknya kita berjimat dalam berbelanja. Jangan boros, dan bersederhanalah dalam segala perbelanjaan. Terutama dalam pembelian juadah berbuka puasa. Masa puasa, semuanya nampak enak2 belaka, boleh beli, apa salahnya, tapi belilah dengan berpada2.
12. Mangsa mercun
Setiap tahun mesti ada. Tanpa gagal. Apa nak jadi dengan anak2 Melayu kita nih? Parents, tengok2 sikit apa anak2 anda buat di waktu malam.
13. Post Ramadhan attitude change
Harap2 amalan yang selalu diamalkan dalam bulan Ramadhan akan berterusan hingga Ramadhan yang akan datang. Begitu juga perubahan dari segi tingkah laku, percakapan, akhlak dan sebagainya. Mohon kepada Allah agar kita dapat fully utilize Ramadhan kali ini dan ditemukan dengan Ramadhan yang akan datang in one piece, untuk meneruskan sisa2 hidup di dunia yang sementara ni.

'Script Your Own Dr. Doom Panel' Meme
This is too hard to resist. From Dr Scott’s website (click at the comic panel below).
Pretty resourceful site if you wanna get the medical explanation for those confusing medical gobbledygook on House MD.
An update on the “script your own Dr. Doom panel” meme:
"If you SHOULD stew my brain, at least get a decent frying pan! And don’t forget to grab some fava beans and a nice Chianti."
"Oh, wait. Who are you? Where’s the evil emperor? Darn it, wrong movie." ¶ 9/28/2006 09:28:00 AM 0 comments

Alamak! Dia Merapu Lagi!!!!
This is it. The moment of truth. Hari ni, genap tiga hari aku tak klik ke mana2 link Prison Break/ Wentworth Miller. Aku rasa, aku dah officially over dia. Over. Macam Ogy dan Azwan Ali. So, Wenty-poo, thanks a lot for ruining my life for the past 5 months or so. Terima kasih bebanyak sebab hampir hilangkan rasional aku kepada dunia nyata dan mengenepikan segala lelaki kacak lain dalam dunia seni termasuk Christian Bale, Cillian Murphy, Fahrin Ahmad dan yang lain2 tu. Seriously, aku rasa aku demam Donnie Wahlberg daripada New Kids On The Block masa aku belasan tahun pun tak seteruk ini. Walhal masa tu hormon remaja tengah naik, dan secara rasionalnya- lah, memang perkara biasa bagi gadis2 remaja meminati artis/ pelakon, ahli sukan, dsb. Gila, kau memang gila, Wentworth.(mengata dulang paku serpih, Zack oi!!!)
Wentworth : (menangis) Jangan Zack. Katakan ini tak benar Zack. Apa kau dah lupa janji2 kita ?
Aku (perasan) : (angkat kening sikit) Ah, peduli apa aku dengan janji2 palsu kau tu. Dasar manusia tak berhati perut! Apa kau ingat dengan muka kacak kau tu saja boleh menjanjikan aku kebahagiaan sampai bila-bila ? Hah? Pengecut!
(Ayat skema ihsan daripada Datuk Yusuf Haslam)
Hmmm…. Sekarang, apa aku nak buat dengan 170++ gambar dia dalam PC aku ni…
Hah! Ada satu lagi PB yang aku suka tonton sekarang, setiap malam Ahad di TV2 gamaknya – Pesona Bintang. Ada Umie Aida, Sharifah SOOfea, dan sorang pelakon lelaki baru tu yg iras2 macam Adlin Aman Ramlie/ Farid Kamil. Best2 jugak citer2 baru Aziz M Osman ni (selain daripada siri Kawan setiap malam Isnin di TV3- ramai awek cun yang bermekap tebal dan ada ahem.. Syed Aiman). Tak lupa juga siri drama Realiti di 8TV, satu drama yang lain daripada yang lain, menampilkan pelakon2 remaja yang cantik2 dan cun2 mcm Azizan Nin, Alvin Wong, Melissa Maureen dan Chelsea Ng. Lydia Ibtisam pun ada ? Hmmm… satu refreshing change daripada watak Illyana yang cukup irritating di TV9 tu. Aku nak ucapkan kudos buat para penulis siri ini sebab berjaya membawa idea yang lain daripada biasa. For once, Malaysian TV taklah seboring dulu. For more info log on to --> http://www.dzof.org/realiti.html
Oh yeah! Oleh kerana terlalu asyik menonton episod ke-4 siri Prison Break musim kedua malam tadi (First Down - CD di download oleh Adreen, thanks babe!), aku terlupa yang siri Invasion telah pun bermula di 8TV (seriously my favourite TV channel now). Woah, yang ni harus follow nih (walaupun terhenti setakat satu season aje), alien invasion, menggunakan badan manusia sebagai hos, memang dalam genre faveret aku. It’s like watching V all over again!!!! (aku memang suka tengok TV sejak kecik lagi- Misfits of Science, Manimal, MacGyver, Scarecrow & Mrs King. Woah! )
Diana, salah sorang daripada alien Visitor yang datang ke bumi untuk menjadikan manusia sebagai bahan makanan. Otai gila. (sapa ada follow citer ni dulu, angkat tangan!)
Hmm.. apa lagi aku nak merapu ye, oh ya, aku cuma nak bagitau yang aku memang dah boring gila dapat email2 kononnya gambar2 pelik contohnya – ‘Must see – Beauty of Earth’, ‘Manusia gergasi ditemui-Kiamat sudah dekat men…’, bla3x, tapi yang nyata sekali gambar2 tu adalah gambar yang diphotoshopkan dan dapat dilihat di laman web Worth1000 dot com. Kekadang tak sampai hati pulak aku nak bagitau si sender yang gambar ‘ajaib’ yang diorang forward tu sebenarnya gambar tipu…
PS: Aisey, apa kebenda aku tulis ni, kata dah bagi penutup. *geleng kepala*

Ramadhan Datang Lagi...
Aku tak tau yang mana lebih pilu…
Perginya seorang wira Down Under yang tegas dalam perjuangan beliau memelihara alam sekitar…
…atau nasib lebih 15 ribu saudara seIslam kita yang dipenjara tanpa pengadilan di Guantanamo atau Abu Gharib atau mana-mana lagi penjara rahsia Amerika laknatullah…
Apa pun, aku ingin mengucapkan selamat menjalani ibadah puasa buat semua pembaca. Semoga Ramadhan ini membawa seribu keberkatan buat kita. Jangan lupa doakan saudara-saudara kita di seluruh dunia yang kadangkala terpaksa bersahur dengan ledakan bom atau berbuka dengan muntahan peluru mesin gan. Bersyukurlah dengan keamanan yang dinikmati sekarang, dan janganlah kita lalai dengan nikmat dunia.
Berpuasa
Bukan setakat bermakna
Buffet di hotel-hotel terkemuka
Ingat-ingatlah saudara kita yang kurang berkemampuan
Dan jangan boros atau membazir,
Semoga Allah berkati segala usaha kita di bulan yang berkat ini, Amin.
(Seperti biasa, aku malas nak tulis benda2 remeh temeh apabila masuk bulan Ramadhan ni. Kepada sesiapa yang rasa mcm nak keep in touch with me, email2 anda adalah dialu-alukan ke zackzip [at] hotmail [dot] com)

September Bulan Sastera?
Itu yang terlintas di kepala aku semasa melihat poster ini dalam LRT daripada stesen Cempaka pada pagi Isnin 18 September 2006. Hmmm… selama ni yang ada cuma puisi2 Inggeris lama, poster filem anak ayam kecik atau wajah geisha Zhang Ziyi. Satu pembaharuan? Atau bukan?
Apa yang menariknya?
Budaya logo dan slogan ?
Poster tersebut ringkas saja. Dengan sebuah logo baru di bahagian atas (barangkali ini logo untuk tahun 2006?), logo Kementerian di bahagian kiri dan logo 'Cintailah Bahasa Kita' di bahagian bawah. Tertera dalam tulisan bold ialah slogan bagi tahun ini, barangkali – BAHASA MELAYU CITRA BANGSA MALAYSIA. Selain itu,tertulis juga nama2 Kementerian yang mengambil bahagian seperti Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia, Kementerian Kebudayaan, Kesenian dan Kebudayaan Malaysia serta Kementerian Penerangan Malaysia. Aku tercari-cari juga maklumat lain. Mana alamat laman web? Apa aktiviti yang sedang atau bakal diadakan? Di mana? Bila hari dan waktunya? Mana nombor telefon (hotline) yang boleh kita hubungi untuk mendapatkan maklumat tentang aktiviti2 yang dirancang oleh pengajur? Zilch, nil, nada. Tiada. Period. Lepas ni jangan mengadu jika program yang dianjurkan tidak mendapat sambutan daripada orang ramai.
Kenapa baru sekarang?
Aku perasan poster ni pada pagi 18 September 2006. Mungkin aku tak pernah lagi naik koc LRT yang ini, sebab setiap hari aku naik LRT ke tempat kerja. Tanpa gagal. Yang membangkitkan kemusykilan aku ialah mengapa setelah lebih setengah bulan berlalu, baru sekarang poster ini dinaikkan. Secara logiknya la, jika program yang anda bakal anjurkan itu jatuh pada bulan September, poster pemberitahuan sepatutnya telah naik pada selewat-lewatnya pertengahan bulan Ogos. Itu namanya pengiklanan, tuan-tuan dan puan-puan. Tinggal beberapa hari saja lagi kita akan melangkah ke bulan Ramadhan Al-Mubarak. Mungkin sebahagian besar daripada kita lebih berminat untuk mengambil bahagian dalam aktiviti-aktiviti keagamaan, dan percayalah, mungkin mereka tiada masa untuk mengikuti program2 yang dianjurkan.
Ah well, mungkin aku bukan golongan sasaran mereka…
PS: Untuk maklumat lanjut tentang Bulan Sastera 2006, sila klik di hiper-rangkai DBP yang aku letakkan di bawah sub Language & Literature di sebelah kanan tu.

Only The Lonely
Musing On Movies #2
Meme dated 29 Nov 2005
"You are a ring-bearer, Frodo. To bear a Ring of Power is to be alone."
~~Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
With whom do you usually attend movies?
Me, myself and I.
Have you ever been to a movie alone?
I do it all the time.
Did you enjoy the experience?
Shyeah! (Depends on the film)
Would you like to go alone more or less often?
More often, only if there’s something really, really good on the big screen. ¶ 9/19/2006 01:22:00 PM 0 comments

MS: There’s something about that lil spot just below his nose (a lil scar). Hmmm….
GH: There’s something about that lil spot just below his nose. Hmmm….

MS: There’s something about that lil spot just below his nose (a lil scar). Hmmm….
GH: There’s something about that lil spot just below his nose. Hmmm….
MI : There’s a f_cking jerawat at that lil spot just below her nose. Screw those hormones!!!
MS: High pain tolerance. Missing two toes on his left foot.
GH: Addicted to Vicodin coz his right leg is in constant pain.
MI : A hypochondriac. (Bulan ni je dah nak 4 kali gi klinik) *hangs head in shame*
Hmm... choices, choices...

Woah. BFF!
Congratulations, you're Dr. James Wilson! You've got the tough role of being the conscience and best friend to Dr. Greg House, which proves that you must be secretly (or openly) insane. You're always a good person for providing advice, witty remarks, free lunches, lectures, and (wanted or unwanted) psychoanalysis. You are about as confident as the average person, but you have some big issues with yourself, and may have problems living up to the ideals you have in your head. You do really care about other people, though, even if you sometimes express that caring by trying to get into their pants.
You Are Dr. James Wilson
65% Eccentricity, 30% Confidence, 45% Kindness

I'm Too Handsome to do Paperwork...
...and other wonderful House-isms here.
The healer with his magic powers!
I could rub his gentle brow for hours.
His manly chest, his stubbled jaw,
Everything about him leaves me raw.
Oh, House your very name
Will never leave this girl the same.
NB : Ode for such a wonderful doctor, ditujukan khas buat Gregory House daripada pesakit wanita berusia 82 tahun yg menghidap siflis tu. Haha, satu lagi, note to Faiz, who said I don’t like House sebab dia tak hensem ? (mungkin kau maksudkan macam Wentworth la). With Wentworth it’s different. I admired both the actor AND the character (Michael Scofield). As for Hugh Laurie, I’m not very familiar with his other works, save for this one film here, Stuart Little, so basically, it’s Gregory House MD for moi.

New Doc On The Block
… or the beginning of another obsession ?
Hmmm.. never underestimate the power of the cane!
“Is that Vicodin or are you just extremely pleased to see me?”

I Miss Fox River Already...
It’s time for us to stop being cons and start being civilians… Michael Scofield
Rundown of the first 2 episodes of the new season.
Episode 1 – Manhunt
I've only watched it 1 and a half time, and just like the first time i watched Harry Potter 4 or Revenge of the Sith, i was totally blown away, coz after waiting for such a loooonngg time, i've finally seen it and believe me,the feeling was damn good. But after a while, reality sinks in, and i found out that there were so many plot holes and illogical scenes! I rated it a Fair.
Agent Mahone
The latest addition to the series, I personally think that his character is waaayyy too perfect. Pill-popping dude, probably with the same condition of low-latent inhibition as Michael, with the same wit and sarcasm of Gregory House, MD. Tak sabar rasanya nak tonton Invasion yg bakal muncul di 8tv hujung bulan ni!
Best bit: Strip-tease in the woods…hehe…
Come to think of it, I kinda missed Fox River.
Rate : ***/ *****
Episode 2 – Otis
Plot
Definitely better than the first one, but they shouldn’t have that elevator scene. It was way OTT, imho, and jeopardizes their plan to escape. Well, I understand Linc’s concern about LJ, but they could have made a waaayyy better plan to rescue him. Anyway, the elevator scene DID make me screamed the f-word, especially when Linc dropped the toy gun. (Luckily my son was somewhere else!)
Michael Scofield
I love the disguises, cap and glasses and the Steve McQueen suit. He reminds me of Forrest Gump, sitting on that park bench. I can almost hear him monologueing - My momma said life is like a box of chocolate. You’ll never know what you’re gonna get!
T Bag and Dr Gudat
Hoho, this bad-a_s mofo is getting better and better! I love the way his character is developing into something more sinister by the minute. But I just couldn’t help but noticing, but can the severed hand be healed spontaneously, without any therapy or something? Was Dr Gudat THAT good? (wow, if he’s still alive, he could make an appearance in an episode of House!). Is there any nurses working there? Why isn’t anybody realized what happened at the vet? Why didn’t Mrs Gudat called him, just to say hi? Why didn’t he just make a run for it after attaching the hand (or while T-Bag was barfing), instead of prescribing some painkillers and antibiotics, knowing that his life might as well be in danger? Hmm…
(ex) Captain Brad Bellick
Haha! I was about to ask him, ‘Hey Bradley, if you die, can I have your DVD’s?’ I think he’s shown us his vulnerable side in this episode. I kinda love his character, a loner, and only child still living his mom. Yeah, it’s disgusting what he had done to Marilyn, Westmoreland and Tweener, but they DID plug the hole with him, bound and gagged, smacked him in the head and made him lose his job which he had been doing ever since he was 18. What do you expect him to do if he’s not working at Fox River? Flip some burgers at Mickey D’s? Well, there goes the lake house…
LJ
I couldn’t stop noticing his rosy complexion and cherry-tinted lips. Do they actually allow chap-sticks in there? The first time I saw him, I was thinking about that scene in Napoleon Dynamite.
Clown of a lawyer or whoever at the receiving end (C): Whaddaya need?
LJ: Can you get it for me?
C: No LJ.
LJ: But my lips hurt real bad!
C: Why don’t you borrow from the nurse, she’s got like 5 of them in her drawer.
LJ: I’m not gonna use hers you sicko!
C: Bye LJ.
LJ : Ugh. Flipping idiot!
Abruzzi and the fried chicken
One of my fave scene! Yummy! Definitely the next best thing after Paris Hilton in that Burger King ad!
Overall, I rated this episode a ‘Good’. *** ½ / *****.
Thanks a lot to Adreen for sending me the CD’s, sebab komputer aku masih lum sihat lagi utk tujuan2 downloading.

The Prison Break/ Napoleon Dynamite Cross-Over
Aku ada post this stuff di dua daripada 5 forum Prison Break yg aku frequent. (Tak berapa kelakar kalau korang tak follow Prison Break atau belum pernah menonton Napoleon Dynamite)
Just imagine Sucre as Pedro Sanchez and Mike as Napoleon Dynamite (for those who had seen the hilarious film!)
Sucre : What are you gonna do today, Michael?
Michael : Whatever I feel like doing, gosh!
[during yard time]
Mike : So, we're pretty much friends by now, right?
Sucre : Yes.
Mike : So, you got my back and everything, right?
Sucre : What?
Mike to Sucre : You know, there's like a butt-load of gangs at this prison. This one gang kept wanting me to join because I'm pretty good with a bo staff.
[referring to Westmoreland's milk]
Mike : I see you're drinking 1%. Is that 'cause you think you're fat? 'Cause you're not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to.
[while Mike was tracing the devil’s face on his tattoo]
Sucre : Aren't you pretty good at drawing, like, animals and warriors and stuff?
Mike : Yes. Probably the best that I know of.
[after THAT hot kiss with Sara]
Sucre : Did you kiss her ?
Mike : Heck yes I did!
[on the night before the escape]
Sucre : Well, what are you going to wear tonight?
Mike : Just like a silk shirt or something.
[comparing hairstyles, or the lack of it]
Mike : Why do you got your hood on like that?
Sucre : Well, when I came home from PI, my head started to get really hot. So I drank some cold water, but it didn't do nothing. So I laid in the sink for a while, but then I realized that it was my hair that was making my head hot. So I went into the kitchen and I shaved it all off. I don't want anyone to see.
Mike : I know what you mean.
Sucre: Why are you so sweaty?
Mike: I’ve been practicing.
Sucre: Practising what?
Mike: Some dance moves (drinks water quickly)
[referring to T-Bag]
They're pretty good, except for one little problem. That little guy right there. He is nipple number five. A good dairy cow should have, like, four.
[referring to Tweener]
Hey, is that a new kid or something?
[during the digging session]
Michael : Ugh. Linc hasn't done flipping anything today!
[to Sara, just before she administered his insulin shot]
Michael : I don't need herbal enhancers to feel good about myself. And if you're so concerned about that, why don't you try eating some yourself?
Mike : How long did it take you to grow that moustache?
The Pope : A couple of days.
Mike: I wish I could grow one!
[on the guard uniform]
Mike : Sucre, how do you feel about that one?
Sucre : It looks nice.
Mike : Yeah, it looks pretty sweet. It looks awesome. That suit, it's... it's incredible.
[on seeing Linc for the very first time]
Linc : How was prison?
Mike : The worst day of my life, what do you think?
Linc : What are you doing here, Michael?
Mike : Grandma took a little spill at the sand dunes today. Broke her coccyx.
[just before the escape]
Sucre : If we make it, you can be my secretary or something.
Mike : Sweet!
[talking about the breast enhancers to T-Bag]
Why don't you sell some to your girlfriend. Might as well do somethin' while you're doing nothin'.
[comforting Sucre about Maricruz]
Mike : Nika is *the* best thing that has ever happened to me. I'm 100% positive she's my soul mate. Don't worry Sucre, I'm sure there's a babe out there for you too. Peace out.

Boleh Kau Eja OBSESSED ?
Hiasan terbaru kubikel aku…
... dan setiap kali aku masuk dalam ni lif, aku memang teruja untuk melihat ke atas…
(for those who hadn’t seen the episode, it’s from ‘Otis’ – babak yg agak lame tapi mendebarkan di mana Michael dan Lincoln cuba menyelamatkan LJ daripada Agen Mahone di bangunan mahkamah)

Before They Created The Blog...
Aku memang suka menulis. Dari dulu lagi. Kekadang aku pun tatau apa yg aku tulis, tak kira apa apa, janji aku dapat luahkan dalam kertas, dan sejak kenal dunia blog, inside my blog. And since aku sekarang masih dilanda demam Wentworth / Prison Break yg dah masuk musim kedua (seriously, aku tatau bila akan berakhir… I seriously need professional help) aku tatau bila lagi aku nak update this space. Dan aku memang taip cepat sebab banyak benda yg terlintas dalam kepala aku yang perlu dikeluarkan sebab takut RAM otak tak cukup.
Oklah, apa yg aku bebelkan ni. Entri ni ialah sesaja nak berkongsi ngan korang apa yg aku dah buat SEBELUM aku kenal dunia siber. Mak aku ada hadiahkan sebuah buku ni selepas SPM dan aku suka menulis apa2 yg terlintas kat kepala. Kira the earlier version of my blog la, hehe…
Entri tentang Mc Teddy Bear yg satu ketika dulu menjadi kegilaan ramai. Gambar2 tu ialah drp alas dulang McD (aku suka collect benda2 gitu), circa 1998.
Entri 4 mukasurat tentang siri FRIENDS (siri kegemaran aku masa tu, around tahun 1999)
Salah satu entri kegemaran aku- kenapa aku suka pakai warna hitam…
Entri terakhir aku iaitu masa aku resign drp audit firm tanpa ada back-up. Aku tension gila, menjajau cari kerja dari satu agensi ke satu agensi, dan dalam tension2 tu, sempat jugak layan filem Spiderman 2 (2004).
