He was just a ten-year-old child but he knew more pain than any other adults and spent half of those years in hospital surrounded by men in white and women in green; not his toys, not his siblings.</p>
<p dir="ltr">     I always asked myself why I did not let him go. I kept holding to him, keeping him alive, praying for medical miracle to happen, to return him to normal life of a child; where he could fall, bruise himself and where he could eat all the candies and chocolates. He would never experience those as from the day he was born, he was diagnosed with an immune system that was not immune to the environment.</p>
<p dir="ltr">     Any sudden change in weather would send him into coughing spasms. Any vigorous outdoor activity would leave him gasping for breath and even turning blue. Any childhood treat would result in vomitting and stomach cramps.</p>
<p dir="ltr">     Specialists in every discipline of medical science had examined and tested him. He was like a guinea pig to them. They could find really nothing wrong with Rob. He was as healthy as a normal child but his reactions towards environment and food were mysterious and unexplainable. Medical specialists were baffled. </p>
<p dir="ltr">     A psychiatrist once had the audacity to suggest that it was all in his brain and decided to implant a computer chip inside his brain and programme it to react positively towards food and environment. It went well at the beginning and I was deliriously happy. However, the effect was short term and the whole medical routine had to start all over again. Newer and more sophisticated chips were planted in his brain but whatever effect was not permanent.</p>
<p dir="ltr">     Rob in his agony and fear often asked me why he was different, why he was not allowed to play, run and jump like other children and why he was not allowed to eat anything he wanted. I had no answer to give him or words to comfort him.</p>
<p dir="ltr">     Life was a struggle, life was lonely. He had no friends. Even if he had, they had to visit him in the hospital wearing face mask and white attire. At first, it might be a thrill for them but it ended up to be something tiring and not fun as there were no toys or delicious candies to entertain them. It was an alien world for them. </p>
<p dir="ltr">     Sometimes, when Rob was at home, he would look into the garden watching his friends playing through the window. He was no longer envious to them. Although he was jailed in his air-conditioned, empty room, he was there with them in spirit. </p>
<p dir="ltr">     Then, one day, during one of those unlucky days, a careless maid had left a window opened. Rob was seriously ill. He was rushed to the ICU.<br>
    <br>
    "Thank you dad for giving me the best years of my life."</p>
<p dir="ltr">     He smiled and closed his eyes. He lay quietly and peacefully as if he was sleeping for the rest of his life. I could not drop a tear as this moment was the moment I had waited for so long. The moment when his suffer ended. His spirit remained in me. He taught me never surrender, never give up. Slowly, I could accept his absence, the loneliness that I felt. Finally, I could move on with my life.</p>

It has been a long time this blog is not updated. As for today, I want to share with all of you my mini puppet theater that I did for my Form 1 kids as we will have mini puppet show next week. It is very easy to create this cool theater as it is small and convenient to be brought to the class. </p>
<p dir="ltr">All you need is a box. The yellow A4 box, actually. If you look at the picture that I post here, I bet you can figure out how I created it. Do not forget to cut the bottom of the box so that the students will be able to put their hands out of the box when they perform the puppet show. Decorate your box so that it looks more interesting.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For the puppets, all you need is just a pair of socks. If you want to make the socks more catchy, you can add buttons or beads to them. For me, to save my budget, I just use coloured papers and newspapers and it is up to our creativity to decorate the socks. I believe less is more, by the way.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Finally, you can have your mini puppet show for your lesson especially for English, History and even Science. Students will get more excited in the class and they can explore new things too. Do try out and share with me! Till then, adious!</p>

<p dir=ltr>This time I would like to talk about my cuti-cuti Malaysia with my family! It was a great time as we went to many places around northern area. First of all, we went to Ladang Anggur Tasik Beris, Sik, Kedah. Actually there are two grapes ochards in northern area, Tasik Beris, Sik and Sungai Batu Pahat, Perlis. We really had an enjoyable time there. We captured pictures and not to forget we managed to drink pure grape juice. YUMMY! </p>
<p dir=ltr>Then, the second place that we visited is Taiping Zoo. Unfortunately, there were not many animals like before. The entrance fee is quite expensive. I still remember when I went there 5 years ago, the fee was only rm10 per person. Now, it is rm16. Very expensive! We rode a mini train to get around the zoo. It was quite fun because that was the first time I took a train in the zoo. Huhuhu. We photographed our sweet moments there and after that we went to Kuala Sepetang to eat Mi Udang. We chose Kedai Mak Jah as last time we tried Kedai Mak Teh. If I could compare both restaurants, Kedai Mak Teh is much much better than Kedai Mak Jah. Kedai Mak Jah is expensive and the food is not that delicious. </p>
<p dir=ltr>Other than that, we went to Tok's house and Tesco extra Seberang Jaya. Will update more with more great news! Till then, see you in the next entry! Buhbye!</p>

<p dir=ltr>For this post, I would like to tell about our Singapore trip. We went there by bus and the first place that we went was Universal Studio Singapore. We had a great time there but me and my husband did not get chance to play all the games there as we brought our kids along. We would like to go there again to play all the games without bringing those little precious of ours. </p>
<p dir=ltr>Then, we had our lunch at Madagascar Cafe in the USS. The food was quite nice. If we don't convert the amount that we paid for the food, it is actually quite affordable. After that we continued playing the games until 630pm.</p>
<p dir=ltr>After that, we were brought to watch Song of the Sea show. The show was just okay for us as we have watched something greater than this. After that, we went to the hotel for rest. We checked in at Hotel 81 Orchid at Geylang area. </p>
<p dir=ltr>On the next day, we checked out at 9 a.m and we were brought for city tour. We went to Malayan Park for some photo sessions with the lion, the symbol of Singapore. Next, we went to Singapore Flyer which is a giant ferris wheel. There we captured a lot of pictures too. After that, we went to Bugis Street for shopping. We bought a lot of souvenirs for our relatives and friends. We bought keychains, fridge magnets, tshirts and a watch for me! The street was extremely busy and we really had difficulty to move around. </p>
<p dir=ltr>Next, we went back to Malaysia by bus and we left Singapore around 7 p.m. We arrived at Sungai Buloh R&R at 1.00 a.m. My brother fetched us there and we left KL at 4 a.m. and we arrived Kulim at 8.00 a.m. Everyone was exhausted and is still exhausted but we really had a blast! This trip indeed is an awesome trip ever!</p>

I have just installed Blogger in my smartphone. So, I can update my blog anytime anywhere. I have just come back from PTM at ILKM Jawi and OBS Lumut. The course was great as I have learnt a lot from the activities done. We 'kayak'ed from Lumut to Pangkor, I overcame my fear of height by completing rope course, we sold local products to local people, we went to Juvenile school, we played paintball and we had gotong royong at Masjid Permatang Pasir. Those activities really motivated me and taught me that if I believe in myself, surely I can do it!</p>
<p dir=ltr> The best thing is we won the best group and I love my group, lucky no 10. Till then, see you in the next entry.</p>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi all!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> It has been ages! Wow! I should update my blog more frequent after this as I have so many projects in my mind! Now, I am working on GRAMULA, a handy notebook which consists of formula of grammar. This idea was presented during SEM Innofest 2013 by my students, Noraini and Syafira. The judges loved the idea and they wanted it to be published! Alhamdulillah. So, I am still working on it and trying to publish GRAMULA by next year! Pray for me!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Today I want to talk about this tremendous novel authored by Dihsar Ludba Haqifa called Beruno. I read this novel when I was in my room at Hotel Seri Malaysia, Ipoh attending a conference for SBP-MRSM teachers. This is the second novel by the simple yet talented author.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Let's review this novel. It is totally different from her first novel which is Alahai Jijah! Alahai Jijah is humorous but this novel is quite serious. The language used is also quite 'skema' but the story plot is not disappointing. The story centres a boy who just moved to a isolated village with his parents and there was a secret hidden in the village. What is the secret? Read it to find the answer!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Okay, I think that is all for Beruno. I don't want to comment a lot about it because I don't want to kill the excitement reading it! Thank you <span style="background-color: white;">and Audious!</span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753551558716743728.post-29193979960980126212011-12-07T19:26:00.000-08:002011-12-07T19:26:08.974-08:00:: New Year, New Project ::<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hi everybody! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> It has been quite a long time I haven't updated my blog. Counting the days makes us realise that 2011 is leaving us and we have to welcome 2012! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Okay, new year means new project. Frankly saying, I don't have any specific resolution for this upcoming year because for me, I believe having a resolution without any action is useless. So, that is why for this coming new year, I am working on a project with my three other friends and we really hope that this project would come out as planned. I will not tell you what the project is because I am afraid this project will not be as what we have planned. So, wait and see and I will tell you when the time has come.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> So, I will tell you more about my project later and pray for our success as ALLAH SWT likes those who work hard to achieve what they want in life! Till we meet again. Adious!</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753551558716743728.post-23296119578837876242011-07-01T01:35:00.000-07:002011-07-01T01:35:31.383-07:00G.U.R.K.A 2011 @ MRSM Merbok!<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Salam and hi all,</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> Today, I would like to post about GURKA. GURKA stands for Karnival Sukan Guru dan Kakitangan Zon Utara. When I first joined GURKA, it was in 2007. I represented MRSM Merbok that time playing ping pong and netball. This event is annually held and for me personally, it is a very good event as instead of teaching and marking, teachers and staffs also have something else to do. The main objective is just to strengthen the bond between teachers and staffs from other colleges. We can make friends and share ideas too. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span></div><a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> This year, me and my husband will play ping pong as usual, I will play netball and volleyball while my husband will play football. So, we have put every effort to make sure that we can win this year as we just got third place for netball for two consecutive years and quarter final for ping pong. We really hope this year the luck would be on our side as we have tried so damn hard to win the games. Till then, do support us and come and join us at MRSM Merbok on 15-17 July 2011! Adious!</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753551558716743728.post-89705010159109337922011-06-14T22:11:00.000-07:002011-06-14T22:11:57.676-07:00Planking? Have the Guts?<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Salam and hi all,</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://blog.limkitsiang.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/plankingEr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://blog.limkitsiang.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/plankingEr.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> Planking? Ever heard the term before? This is new, cool thing for me as I encountered about it in The Star this morning. It's plank not prank! People are lying down, face down, hands at the sides, legs straight out and forehead touching the ground and doing nothing! Cool right? You actually can even lie anywhere as you please. Perhaps you can practise planking while waiting for your turn at the bank or post office (If it's crowded, you will be dead! Hahaha!). If you want to be a PLANKER (that's what they call those who have this incredible courage to lie in public), you just do planking and ask your friend to capture your picture doing it and post the picture to any social networking sites such Facebook and Twitter! Then, you can be called as PLANKER! Nice huh?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> In conclusion, do this remarkable activity with your family members and tell others how it does feel because you have to experience something first before you condemn it. Do not prejudge something that you are not sure! Try first then it's up to you to condemn or to praise! Till then, adios!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> New semester, new spirit and new plan for my students! Today I would like to share some common grammar mistakes done by my students that I encountered when marking their papers last month.

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> I celebrated my birthday at Boutique Cafe at Pantai Cenang, Langkawi with my family and not to forget Fadhil and his twin brother, Jeff. I ordered prawn cocktail and the three guys ordered special oblong (Setakat nak makan oblong, depan umah pon ada!). Then, plain water for me, chocolate ice blended for Fadhil, Cappuccino blended for Jeff and Bandung longan for my husband. </span></div><br />
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> Let me tell you a bit about Boutique Cafe (BC). The environment is great with the table setting like when you attend kenduri..Hahaha! The food is quite okay. It's just too expensive for the look. Let's imagine if a plate of prawn cocktail is RM18.90 and you just get only three shrimps, is it enough for the appetizer? Of course not. Then, the waitress came to us and told us that the cook for oblong was on MC and she asked us to choose other dish. The three musketeers finally chose pizza so that everyone could enjoy the same dish. </span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> The best part of this cafe is the live band. The singer is superb. The voice is quite okay and you could even 'test power' if stage fright is not your biggest fear. In conclusion, this was the first and the last time I would eat at this cafe as the service is not that good because the waitress was like having hearing problem because we had to repeat our order thrice. One more thing, the price is very expensive and I suggest you to have dinner or supper somewhere else as BC is not the best choice. Till then, adios!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> When I was small, I would buy card for my friends on their birthdays. If he or she is special, I would buy a card with music and that is how I celebrated my friends' birthdays and showed them how much I cared and loved them. Sadly today, we no longer could see birthday cards on birthday. With the technology developed, we can just call, SMS or even post on someone's wall on Facebook. </span></div><br />
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> With the technology improving, we rarely use conventional methods especially writing letter and sending birthday card. I still remember when I taught my students informal letter writing and to be frank, I was sad looking at them as they did not know the format of an informal letter and they admitted that they never wrote to their parents and friends. They could just call, SMS or email. Thanks to technology for making our life easier!</span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> Looking at this kind of situation, I can just say 'pity them' as kids nowadays have lost a lot of satisfaction and excitement writing a letter and sending a birthday card. I still can remember when I was in boarding school 11 years ago, I always wrote letter to my mom and I would put talcum powder to make my letter smell nice. I always drew pictures for her and I loved decorating my letter before sending it to her. Then, to contact with my boyfriends (huhuhu), the same method was used which is sending letters; secret letters. Hahaha! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> In conclusion, the kids now, the new generation now, should try once in a while writing letters and sending birthday card to their loved ones. I am grateful that we still teach informal letter writing at school and not e-mail writing! Till then, sometimes, conventional method is worth to try because we still have to look back to improve ourselves! Thank You</span>.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753551558716743728.post-27142275771332060712011-06-08T02:36:00.000-07:002011-06-08T02:36:08.965-07:00Alahai Jijah! by Dihsar Ludba Haqifa!<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Salam and hi all,</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> Reading a novel is not my passion. Since this novel is written by someone close to me, I took the effort to read it. When I flipped a few first pages, I started to adore the characters especially Jijah and Sodah. They were best friends yet the way they talked to each other is more like they were fighting and arguing because the words that they used when talking were quite harsh. That is the uniqueness of this novel. The story plot is simple yet meaningful. You can get a lot of moral lessons (oppss...moral values! I heard this term from an English teacher) and a lot of funny dialogues. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span></div><a name='more'></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> My mom said it is a dragging story because too much dialogues but for me that is the strength of the novel as the dialogues tell us everything and attract us to get into the novel. It's like watching movie. The ending of the novel is unpredictable as we have to guess a lot of things happened towards the end. Example, why Puan Gayah had this revengeful feeling towards Borhan and what happened to Mariam, Puan Gayah's daughter. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> The negative thing about this novel is Jiji, the imaginary friend of Jijah. I can't see the need of having Jiji in the novel as she did not help Jijah at all. She just 'menyibuk' in the novel. Hahaha! The setting of the novel is quite okay too as it is in a typical Malay village and the characters' names are synonym with the setting. That's the best.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> As a conclusion, I can give 4 stars out of 5 stars and perhaps after this there will be Alahai Jijah! 2 as I am dying to know what had happened to Mariam and Borhan. Till then, grab this book now! Adios!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> When I experienced Fireflyz for the first time, I was quite shocked when realising that the landing and take off were not that smooth. Then, I said to myself, "Fokker... that's why.." Yet, the stewardesses were very sexy and beautiful and quite old as I could see the wrinkles on their faces. Huhuhu... Then, another thing, Fireflyz's airport tax is quite costly compared to other airlines system. It's RM45 and even though the flight ticket is quite cheap; RM68.95 from Penang to KL, yet you still have to pay RM100 something for a one-way ticket as the airport tax is that much. </span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span></div><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> I have never experienced Air Asia as last time when I was about to book for the ticket from KL to Penang, the website showed the 'insecure' sign. Seeing the sign, I was in doubt to book or not as I don't want to lose my money to a criminal. Cyber criminal. Then, I backed off and booked Malaysia Airlines instead. Air Asia flight ticket is indeed cheap yet you have to be extra careful when booking online as the website is not that secure anymore.</span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> I complained this 'insecure' sign to a friend of mine and I told her my last resort was to book Malaysia Airlines instead of Air Asia as it is more secure. Her response was "It's like you are comparing Prada shoes and Bata shoes. Of course Malaysia Airlines is triple much better than Air Asia!" Then, the day came for me to travel by Malaysia Airlines aircraft. The take off was smooth and okay. I was okay with it as it is Malaysia Airlines. When it came to landing part, I was aghast as it did not land as I expected. It was much worse than Fireflyz. I could feel the bumping tremendously terrible and I was like riding a horse. Therefore, Prada and Bata are just the brand names as the quality comes first than anything! Till then, adiou</span>s!<br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> Exhausted! The exact word to describe me now. I just came back from a trip. Me and my family went to Kelantan to attend my cousins' weddings. The theme colours were purple and beige. Nice right? The saddest thing is I didn't manage to capture any pictures! :(</span></div><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> I just came back from a course in Tanjung Malim, UPSI and my flight was at 9.15 pm and I arrived at Penang Airport at 10.15 pm. My husband fetched me at the airport and we headed straight home. We arrived in Kulim at 11.30 pm. Then, my mom said we would go to Kelantan at 3.45 am. I slept for 2 hours and I got up at 2.30 am to get ready for the trip. My husband was able to sleep for 3 hours before driving for 6 hours. Pity him. :( We stopped 'solat' somewhere in Grik and we carried on with the tiring journey and arrived KB at 11 am. Too exhausted to eat, we just chatted and shared stories with relatives. Then, around 1.30 pm, we went to our homestay and slept until 6pm. ;) </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> After that, around 7pm we went out for dinner and we went to this 'pasar' selling all types of food. Just name it and you'll get it! Me and my family had dinner at this stall selling 'goreng-goreng' food and unfortunately the food was tasteless. Sorry! I ordered 'nasi goreng udang' and it was very sweet and it did not taste as 'nasi goreng' at all. Then, my mom bought 'Sata' and it was superb plus I bought 'akok'. It was marvellous too. Too disappointed with the dinner, we headed to my aunt's house and we spent there chatting again. Huhuhu! Then, we went back our homestay and off to bed at 11.30pm getting enough energy to go back home tomorrow after Subuh. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> Right after Subuh, we had breakfast with Mak Lang and family; 'nasi dagang'. Quite okay. Thanks to Mak Lang for superb coffee. After that, we headed home and arrived Kulim at 5pm after attending another kenduri at ILKM Jawi, Penang at 4pm. We really enjoyed the trip and congratulations to Rahman and Fatimah</span>!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753551558716743728.post-1818303336819579522011-05-27T07:40:00.000-07:002011-05-27T07:40:21.151-07:00Pirates of Caribbean 4!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Pirates of Caribbean the fourth!</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The best dialogue ever! Frankly, this movie is just the same as the previous Pirates movies except for the mermaid part which I think is very brilliant as it is different from other movies. I miss Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley (correct spelling or not? Who cares!), yet I love Captain Jack Sparrow and Penelope Cruz because they indeed have this kind of chemistry! They look so good together! Very sexy, charming yet dangerous. The ending of the movie is great too and I think I know why Jack Sparrow did not drink the water from the fountain of youth as he was already immortal. In a nutshell, I can't wait to watch the sequel after this! <3 Pirates of Caribbean!</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753551558716743728.post-83433881585805716212011-05-27T07:16:00.000-07:002011-05-27T07:16:20.300-07:00Hello and Welcome!<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Salam and welcome to my new blog! </b></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
