Pengembaraan Musim Sejuk 2009

Assalamualaikum

Saja nak cerita sikit pasal cuti musim sejuk yg lepas hari tu. Aku sebenarnya tak tenang nak bercuti hari tu sbb masalah paper yang tak habis2 kan. Semester pertama la katakan, pastu aku ni dah la tak reti apa2. Memang tak reti2 nak tulis kertas akademik, maka dengan kelajuan siput aku cuba menyiapkan kertas yang tertunda. Bila dah siap buat setelah bercekang mata berhari2 dan sampai 30 muka surat aku tulis, kena rejek la plak kan. Memang lazat berkrim la rasa rejection tu. Daripada menjadi Firuz yang selama ni kuat, bole plak aku buka empangan air kat mata sampai demam. Waakaka~ Lebih baik rasa kena reject dgn pakwe daripada rasa di'reject' mcm ni. Sabar...sabar...

Aku memang dah lama beli tiket utk pergi ke Muktamar anjuran MISG dan IMSA yang berlangsung di Atlanta. Aku dah jadi macam berbelah bahagi samada nak g ke tak sbb terfikir pasal kertas2 tu. Lagipun aku dah janji dgn adik2 Purdue Uni nak g jalan2 ke florida dgn dorang. Memang berat rasa hati...Tapi aku pk daripada aku dok terperap kat rumah ni, mengadap buku sepanjang cuti ni, lebih baik aku kuar. Tak pasal2 meroyan buku plak aku kang. Dah la kawan rumah balik India. Takut aku tinggal sorang2 kat rumah. Beberapa hari sblm tu plak ada kes polis berhampiran rumah. Ada sorang pelajar uni kena serang sampai masuk hospital. Masuk ICU.

Aku bawa BERLAMBAK2 buku utk rujukan. Memang berat tak terkata la kan. Dah la nak naik kapal terbang. Tawakal je la bab berat beg ni. Aku pun mengheret beg gedabak tu naik tren utk ke epot. Alhamdulillah lepas. Bila sampai di Atlanta tu aku terpinga2 nak cari hotel berkenaan. Naik tren lagi, dan aku duduk la dalam kesejukan menunggu shuttle hotel untuk amik aku. Budak Malaysia lain ramai yg berkonvoi naik kereta pergi ke Atlanta. Aku yng sorang ni, kena la pandai2 bawak diri.

Memang ramai la orang Malaysia dan Indonesia di hotel tu. Rasa nak menitis air mata tengok ada ramai orang kita, dalam lingkungan umur yang sama. Tak tau nak cakap macam mana. Orang yang penah rasa bole la kot paham perasaan aku. Hehe~ Macam2 akitiviti yang dianjurkan. Kalau bawah MISG, banyak aktiviti yang dianjurkan berkaitan dengan pelajar dan orang2 muda. Kalau yang bawah IMSA plak, aktivitinya banyak berkisar tentang keluarga dan anak2. Aku tak join pun sume program. Mana2 aku pegi, aku dok mengheret buku, highlighter, stickpad. Mana2 topik yang ala2 menarik, aku turun la dengan buku. Mana yang rasa mcm boring2, aku dok je dlm bilik hotel baca buku..hehe~

Slps tu aku ikut adik2 Purdue g florida. Oleh sebab lesen memandu Malaysia aku hanyalah dekorasi semata-mata, jadi aku mengaku yang aku tak berani nak memandu.Lagipun aku tak ada lesen memandu antarabangsa. Hotel kat Florida best woo! Pandai Mesak cari. Sangat selesa dan nampak cantik walaupun 20 USD semalam. Eh, tak ingat la 20 ke 40..apa2 pun murah kan? Di Florida, kami pergi ke Miami Beach, Orlando, Tampa dan Key West. Puas hati rasanya aku dapat naik macam2 roller coaster. Dah lama tak menguji ketakutan diri sendiri. Dulu aku rasa seram gak naik roller coaster. Tapi kali ni aku naik dengan sengihan dan tawa. Geli perut rasanya bila orang sekeliling menjerit2 mcm histeria. ahahahahaha~

Slps beberapa hari bercuti di Florida, kami oun bertolak ke North dan South Carolina. Singgah sekejap2 dan tumpang tidur di rumah Kak Nab. Pastu kami ke Washington D.C. dan tidur di rumah pegawai JPA yang sporting, Puan Ruziah. Lewat malam baru kami sampai di La Fayette, Indiana. Memang macam winter wonderland la. Salji memutih di mana2. Aku sempat la tengok Purdue University dalam gelap. Esoknya aku naik shuttle ke airport pukul 6.30 pagi. Terima kasih buat Hanan, Mesak, Amal dan Fidah kerana sudi bagi akak join dalam rombongan korang utk perjalanan kali ini. Insya Allah satu hari nanti kita bole la travel sama2 lagi yek?

Ada banyak gambar dalam facebook tapi kat sini aku bubuh beberapa gambar je. Kalau nak tengok lagi, check la kat facebook ye?

So true! ;P

Dah terlalu lama aku tinggalkan cerpen bersiri aku ni...kesian dia. Maka di sini aku akan 'tayangkan' sambungan cerita aku bertajuk 'Orang Kaya'. Buat mereka yg tak tau lagi, cite ni aku dah lama tulis. Masa aku kat Iran lagi tapi sekarang baru nak 'terbit'. hehe~ Ok la, jumpa lagi. Wassalam :)

Orang Kaya
Episod 6 (a)




Asap rokok berbentuk bulatan menari-nari di sekelilingku sebelum hilang di udara. Sudah beberapa kali aku terbatuk sambil melambai tangan ke kanan dan kiri supaya asap itu lenyap. Amar seolah-olah tidak menyedari kewujudanku di situ apabila dia semakin enak membentuk bulatan dengan asap rokok. Aku sengaja batuk dengan lebih kuat dengan tujuan supaya dia sedar perbuatannya begitu merimaskanku.


Dah berapa lama dia tak korek telinga ni? Ceh, kononnya buat hasil seni kat udaralah tu! Aku mendekatkan mulut ke telinga dan batuk sekali lagi dengan kuat. Tersedak Amar dengan batukanku itu. Wajah yang bengis kelihatan semula.


"Jangan nak marah pulak. Kan aku kata aku tak suka orang merokok." Aku cuba membela diri sebelum tangannya terbang semula ke kepalaku.


"Pekak telinga aku tau tak? Apasal kau batuk kat telinga aku? Ikut suka hati akulah nak merokok ke tak! Kau kata tak boleh merokok masa belajar je!"

Pandai pula dia cari alasan…


"Aku taulah. Masalahnya kau sedang bekerja dengan aku. Kalau aku terpengsan kat sini sebab asap rokok kau tu, siapa nak 'cover line' masa kau tengah buat kerja?"


Amar hanya diam dan menjeling padaku. Eee..aku cucuk mata tu kang! Selalunya perempuan yang selalu menjeling. Ni terbalik pulak. Nanti juling mata tu, padan muka! Tak lama kemudian, Amar membuang putung rokoknya.


"Ha..macam nilah bagus. Barulah aku sayangkan kau Amar," gurauku.

Terbatuk Amar mendengar gurauan itu.


"Apa? Sayang? Kau nak kena penampar dengan aku ke Ina?" Uish! Ganasnya muka dia…


Aku cepat menggeleng."Aku acah je la. Itu pun nak marah. Kawal la sikit baran kau tu. Lagipun aku pun tak hingin la nak sayang-sayang laki ni. Lagi-lagi kau!"

Telefon bimbitku berbunyi buat 3 deringan dan mati begitu saja. Itu alamat daripada Farisya menandakan maksu telah sampai. Masanya telah tiba…


"Amar, Maksu aku dah sampai. Kau pergi ke tempat letak kereta sekarang. Kereta Maksu, Waja warna silver. Aku akan cover line kat sini. Takut-takut orang lain datang pulak."


Amar mengangguk dan terus beredar. Tatkala 'menjaga' kawasan itu, hatiku berdebar. Bimbang jika kami akan 'ditangkap' ketika sedang sibuk menjalankan projek mega kami. Kira-kira 10 minit kemudian, Amar muncul semula di sebelahku.


"Dah buat dah!" katanya dengan senyuman puas. Aku menunjukkan isyarat bagus kepadanya. Jam tangan kujeling. Belum tiba masanya lagi untuk aku muncul di hadapan Maksu. Penat berdiri, aku duduk di tepi longkang sementara menunggu 'waktu kerjaku'. Amar turut menyertaiku dan dia duduk di sebelah.


"Maksu kau ada citarasa anak mudakan? Kereta dia penuh dengan anak patung. Tak cukup kat tempat duduk kat tingkap pun dia gantung anak patung." Amar bersuara. Komennya itu menimbulkan senyuman di bibirku. Walaupun anak sulung Maksu sudah berusia 15 tahun, Maksu masih cantik dan kelihatan muda. Dia pandai bergaya sesuai dengan umurnya. Dia…Eh, jap! Aku berfikir sekejap. Wajahku tiba-tiba menjadi pucat lesi.


"Kenapa kau Ina? Pucat semacam je. Nak berlakon sekejap lagi la. Bukan sekarang."

"Amar!" tempikku dengan suara yang mahu menangis.


"Apasal nak menangis pulak ni? Sakit betul ke?" tanya Amar kehairanan.

"Kereta Maksu mana ada patung! Kau pancitkan tayar kereta siapa ni?" Hampir menangis aku apabila aku menyedari ada kesilapan berlaku dalam rancangan kami. Terperanjat Amar mendengar kenyataanku.

"Kau kata Waja silverkan?"


Aku pantas berlari ke arah tempat letak kereta. Tidak kusangka di situ ada 3 buah Waja berwarna perak. Amar menggetap bibir kerisauan. Dia telah memancitkan tayar Waja yang paling dekat dengan kami. Aku kenal sangat dengan pemilik kereta Waja itu. Itu kereta pekerja di pejabat fakulti, Cik Salwani Alwi. Habislah…


"Mana satu kereta Maksu kau?" tanya Amar cemas.

Aku menuding ke arah Waja yang tidak jauh dari situ. Amar terus berlari ke arah kereta Maksu. Dia bercangkung di situ sambil bersandar ke kereta. Aku turut mencangkung di sisinya dengan jantung yang berdegup kencang.


"Nampaknya aku kena buat semula," bisik Amar. Aku mengangguk. Bunyi penggera mengejutkanku dan Amar. Penggera di telefon bimbitku telah berbunyi tanda aku perlu pergi ke Maksu.

"Kau kena pergi sekarangkan? Pergilah. Biar aku buat sorang-sorang kat sini."


Cepat-cepat aku menggeleng.

"Mana boleh aku tinggalkan kau dalam waktu kecemasan macam ni Amar? Aku akan tolong kau cover line." Prinsipku, sama-sama buat, sama-sama tanggung. Kasihan Amar jika dia terpaksa menanggung kesan kesalahannya sendiri.


"Jangan degil, Ina. Pergilah. Tertunggu-tunggu pula Maksu kau. Nanti dia syak benda lain pulak!" Amar menekan suaranya. Aku pula masih tetap di situ sambil memandang wajahnya. Suara orang berbual kedengaran tidak jauh di situ. Walaupun aku semakin cemas, aku tak akan meninggalkan Amar keseorangan di situ. Amar memaksaku pergi tapi aku tetap berdegil. Dia naik marah semula. Kerana marah, Amar menolakku untuk memaksaku pergi. Aku gagal mengawal badan dan terjatuh dari cangkunganku. Tanpa kusedari, aku terjatuh ke atas kaki seseorang yang kebetulan sedang lalu di situ. Jeritan orang itu yang gagal mengawal imbangan badannya menyebabkan aku dan Amar menoleh ke arahnya. Tidak dapat aku bayangkan rasa terperanjat apabila aku melihat Maksu terjatuh di tengah-tengah jalan.


"Hati-hati cik!" Suara garau itu menyebabkan suasana bertambah kalut. Dr. Zul sedang berlari ke arah Maksu untuk menolongnya. Ketika itu juga, sebuah motorsikal sedang meluncur laju ke arah Maksu dan Dr. Zul. Jeritan kedengaran di sana sini. Semuanya berlaku dengan pantas. Aku tidak dapat menahan rasa takutku dan serta-merta duniaku menjadi gelap…

Ujian daripada Allah

Credits: Taman-Taman Syurga
Allah SWT kadangkala melaksanakan hukuman di dunia ini dengan memberikan ujian dan cubaan dalam bermacam bentuk, seperti.
1- Cubaan badaniah dan rohaniah yang berupa penyakit, luka, cacat pandangan salah satu angguta tubuh, rasa susah, gelisah, resah, duka cita, tidak aman dan lain-lain lagi.
2- Cubaan melalui kekayaan, seperti kehilangan, kebakaran, kekurangan, rosak dan sebagainya.
3- Cubaan melalui anak dan keluarga, seperti sakit, gila, lumpuh dan lain-lain.Semua ujian dan cubaan tersebut mungkin terjadi kerana:
a- Hasil undangan dari kedurhakaan manusia sendiri, hasil usaha perbuatan dan kelakuannya sendiri yang dihukum di dunia oleh Allah sebagai pembalasan langsung dari dosa-dosanya itu. Kemungkinan ini dapat terjadi sebagai tanda kasih sayangNya untuk menghapuskan dosa kedurhakaannya di dunia ini, dan ia akan keluar dari dunia ini dalam keadaan suci dah bersih. Kemungkinan lainnya ialah untuk meninggikan martabatnya, baik di dunia mahu pun di akhirat, iaitu apabila ia tidak mempunyai dosa yang harus mendapat hukuman.
b- Takdir Allah sendiri untuk menguji hamba-hambanya secara terus-menerus dirundung malang, dan nantinya akan diganti di akhirat dengan rahmat dan juga keredhaanNya. Apabila seseorang itu menghadapi segala cubaan, ujian dan rintangan dengan redha, ikhlas dan mencari jalan keluar dengan jalan yang sebaik-baiknya, tidak mengeluh, gelisah atau pun berputus asa. Allah akan mempermudahkan jalanan hidupnya.Memudahkan hisab di akhirat nanti, dan memberkati hidupnya.
-- Jangan menampal dunia dengan mengoyakkan akhirat.
Janganlah menjadi begitu masin..sehingga orang meludahmu..
Dan janganlah pula berlaku terlampau manis, sehingga mereka menelan dirimu begitu saja...

K Pop Dance Style

Hi!

My first week of a new semester has just finished. For now, it seems that I need to read a lot and write many papers. Well, it's normal for a graduate student. However, I feel a little bit more relaxed this semester because I'm dealing with my favorites: Arabic and Persian.

Nothing much to say this time but I would like to show you some videos of K Pop dance style. For those who are interested in KPop, they would know some popular movement trends. I found videos from a Canadian couple (I think so if I'm not mistaken) who teach English to middle school and high school students in Seoul, South Korea. Simon and Martina are really cool! I like their fun and exciting videos. In this video, they showed some of the popular dance style in 2008. Well, since I knew the songs they picked and Ihave watche dthe original music videos, it's kinda funny to see how they mocked them. XD



Ooo..how I wish I also could create good videos like them. The problem is I donno how except for the direct filming from a digital camera. I don't know a single thing about editing video. Never mind, I'll try to learn it one day :).

Ok, for the latest video is the KPop dance style for 2009! Yay! Finally... An early warning for those who are not familiar with KPop dance, year 2009 had quite a number of sexy movements. So please don't get a heart attack. I think this video is much funnier than the previous one. Especially when Simon tried to 'teach' the song of Ring DIng Dong. I burst out laughing when he showed the Calvin Klein undergarments..ahahahahaha!



I know Simon and Martina are not the best dancers but I enjoy their effort very much! So funny and entertaining! hahaha! Good job you two. I just wanna show u real moves from a young bud. He can go far.............



Till we meet again next time. Adiooooooos!

I Am Back!

Salam. It has been more than a month since I posted my previous entry. Since then a couple of my friends kept asking for my updates. Thanks guys. I really appreciate your support. Because of the finals fever, I did not have any mood to write anything for my blog. It was so hard for me since it was the final for my first semester. I had hard times and I was down most of the time because of the stress. I even cried until I got a fever! Even though it's now winter break, I still have 2 papers left to write. Others are enjoying their vacation with a full heart but not me. I could not feel the spirit of holiday because I kept thinking about my papers. But then I realized that God has given me the opportunity to have this kind of vacation. So why don't I enjoy it and then I'll concentrate on my papers?

For this winter break, I went to an annual conference for Malaysian and Indonesian Muslim Society in Atlanta, Georgia. Since I am the only Malaysian in my university, I flew alone to Georgia. Other Malaysians traveled together by car to the destination. I was happy to meet other Malaysians there. During the 5 days in the hotel, I kept bringing my books in each session I attended. Killing 2 birds with a stone. I was listening to the discussion while looking for points for my paper from the books.


After the conference, I joined some Malaysian students from Purdue University for a road trip to Florida. I'll update in detail about my winter break in future posts including pictures. For now I just want to inform that we had great time in Miami, Universal Studio, Sea World Park and Busch Garden. It was so much fun!!
Now I think I am recovered from my 'depression period.' I think I can continue writing my papers and I can continue feeling the enjoyment of life. I'll continue writing for my blog, expressing my passion for things such as K drama, K pop, life and others. Pray for mo to be strong ok?

See you in the next post. Sayonara!

I was enjoying my first caramel apple at Universal Studio, Florida. It was so good! :D

Never Fight..

Credits: Taman-taman Syurga

Make today a breeze not a battle. Never fight.

Nothing is worth fighting for.
Wisdom never fights, it waits patiently,
speaks positively, releases easily,
sees benefit in everything and envisions a future
of abundance...
knowing that all needs will be met at the right moment,
in the right way.

If you think life is a struggle you will always
be struggling, If you think life is a breeze,
your attitudes and actions will convey
lightness and easiness.
And that's what attracts everything you need,
and much more.
Make today a breeze not a battle.

Jangan menampal dunia
dengan mengoyakkan akhirat.

Janganlah menjadi begitu masin..
sehingga orang meludahmu..
Dan janganlah pula berlaku
terlampau manis, sehingga
mereka menelan dirimu
begitu saja...

Have a unique character like salt

absence makes things tasteless.

Fan Photo Project of You're Beautiful Drama

After being a zombie for a couple of nights because of the blo*dy history test, now I can breath a little even though I didn't do well in it. At least it's over! Maybe the test was not hard for my other classmates. But for me, it was so difficult because first: I don't like the subject, second: it was my first ever test in United States especially as the one and only international student in class. All the information are scattered in my brain and I don't know whether it is correct or not. I really need to kill myself to pass through this first semester. It's hard to adapt to American system because I am used to Eastern style. And as a graduate student, others think that you are supposed to be clever. Oh My God! That makes me sooo nervous. And the one I hate the most is people's high expectation. They were like "WOW!" when they knew I know 4 languages and I got Fulbright scholarship. Oh come on,guys! I was just lucky, not that intelligent. These expectations make me suffocate all the time.

When a person is in a lot of pressure, he or she tends to make unbelievable crazy things. Yes, I admit it. Soooo true! I just don't know how to release the tightness in my chest. I made a ridiculous decision: to pose in pictures as drama characters. Hahahaha! I just couldn't believe I actually did that. My same age friends are busy working, taking care of their husband and kids but here, I am just like a teenage girl posing for pictures, showing my love to a drama. Guess what? I DON'T CARE! (music background: 2NE1 'I don't care' song)

My latest passion is a Korean Drama, You're Beautiful that I have mentioned before in my previous posts. There was actually a fan photo project by the fan club. To give support to the drama team, the fan club decided to prepare a special slide of fan's pictures and messages. The deadline was 8th November at first but then it was changed to 6. I did not realize the change and because of the hectic days of study, I could not make it on time. Thanks God I am not a teenage girl anymore. If not, I would have banged my head to the wall because I missed the deadline. Actually...I really wanted to pose in front of camera but I didn't have any solid reason to do it. So now it's the time to take the chance! Hahahaha! I am a loyal viewer of America's Next Top Model but I am not a good poser though. Credits to Afreen, my housemate who took the pictures and to PA who edited them.

I wanted to make creative pictures and the only idea that popped out in my head was to pose as the drama characters. Ok now we'll start with Jeremy (Lee Hong Ki). In the drama, he is a witty, funny and kinda crazy guy. He loves to make people around him laugh and forget the problems. Likes to celebrate every single memorable time with parties. He is the type of person who is fun to be with.

This is Hong Ki or Jeremy in the drama:




Well. I tried to show the colorful sides (funny and crazy) of Jeremy,so I came out with this. Hahaha!




Next is the macho and the-best-nominee-for-husband man, Shin Woo Oppa. He's calm, macho and cool but he is always keeping everything inside. So, he always appear sad in hiding his feelings. (Even though in the next episode it seems that he's ready to confess his love. Kekeke! Go Oppa!)







I don't know how to appear macho but I'm totally good in showing loneliness since I'm alone here in the States. Hahaha!





This is the hottest man nowadays in internet forums about K Drama, Tae Kyung Shi. He is always smirking, getting pissed off really easy but undeniably major hotness! Like what Park Shin Hye said, he is the one that you'll fall for more each time you see him. Hihi~






Mmm...how can I show a pissed off face? So I just frowned to express it. Hehe~ Being hot is just out of my ability..so I just tried the higher-up-your-nose thing. XD


The main actress is Go Mi Nyu or Go Min Nam. She's the innocent, cute, and clueless type of girl. A girl who is pure and lovable.





Ok this is my attempt to look cute nd innocent. Hahahaha! I just want to roll over seeing my poses. Don't get too annoyed seeing me trying the best to appear cute ok? :p




The evil woman of YAB drama, He Yi. She is doing a very good job because I feel like slapping her everytime her scene appears. In front of everyone, she is the most elegant, pretty, super nice, and lovable actress. However, in the reality she is the nasty b*tch that keeps ruining Tae Kyung and Go Mi Nam's happiness.






I wanted to show the two sides of the fake fairy. So I showed the smiling face and the dark side and the arrogance of He Yi. I held 2 different colored files as a symbol of 2 different characters. How is it? Do I look fake? Hahaha!



Last but not least, this picture is to show my support to all of the casts and crews of YAB team. You really brighten up my hard days of studying with your adorable work. Don't care about the ratings because in the reality YAB has a huge fan base all around the world especially among the netizens. I made hand signals to show the word love.



Even though I didn't have the chance to submit my pictures to the fan club, I do hope one day the casts and crews of YAB team will come across my photos in internet. Heheh! Just wanna show them my support and love.

Oh, I can't wait to watch the 11th episode this coming Wednesay. So nervous to see Tae Kyung and Jeremy's reaction after the high-level-bravery of Shin Woo's confession in front of everyone. Mm..thank you for having a look at my craziness moments. hehe~ Now I need to put on back my glasses and start to look at my books again. See you all again. Muuuaaah! Love from USA.

You're Beautiful Drama Passionate Fans

Credits to dramabeans.com and soompi.com

Hi everyone

You're Beautiful Drama

IRIS drama


You're Beautiful Drama (YAB) has 'given birth' to a huge base of fan especially among the netizens. We agree that YAB has a major competiton with IRIS since their airing time is the same: every Wednesdays and Thursdays starting 9.55 p.m (South Korean time). IRIS gets a lot of attention because of their top casts, top secret organization storyline and a huge sum of production cost: 20 million dollars! WAAAAAAAAAAAA! That's a lot for a drama isn't it? Yeah, and as expected, IRIS episodes rating is as following:

Date Episode Nationwide Seoul
2009-10-14 1 24.5 (2nd) 25.4 (1st)
2009-10-15 2 25.3 (1st) 26.1 (1st)
2009-10-21 3 27.9 (1st) 29.3 (1st)
2009-10-22 4 26.2 (1st) 27.2 (1st)
2009-10-28 5 29.6 (1st) 30.3 (1st)
2009-10-29 6 28.9 (1st) 29.8 (1st)
2009-11-04 7 30.7 (1st) 31.1 (1st)

Impressive huh? YAB drama is a 'lighter' drama and it is cool and fun. Of course the viewers category are mostly among teenagers. IRIS drama has heavier issues and the viewers are perhaps ahjummas. Just imagine, at a house with only one television, at the same time, how can teenagers have the guts to conquer the tv when the elders want to watch another drama? So...the teenagers who are more expert in technology compared to the elders, will go to the internet to watch YAB. Well, that's my analysis according to the situation. Let's YAB episode ratings:

Date Episode Nationwide Seoul
2009-10-07 01 10.8 (11th) 11.6 (11th)
2009-10-08 02 9.6 (12th) 10.2 (11th)
2009-10-14 03 9.1 (11th) 8.5 (14th)
2009-10-15 04 8.9 (14th) 9.4 (11th)
2009-10-21 05 9.0 (18th) 9.2 (13th)
2009-10-22 06 10.0 (11th) 10.2 (11th)
2009-10-28 07 9.6 (14th) 10.2 (11th)
2009-10-29 08 9.8 (12th) 10.3 (11th)
2009-11-04 09 9.8 (17th) 10.3 (13th)

Not that impressive, huh? But it's stable. Ok now let me tell you about YAB channel in viikii.net. The latest episode till now is episode 9. Episode 10 has been broadcasted but I am sure YAB channel team are working hard to sub it for the sake of non Korean fans who are from all over the world..including me! ^^ Ok, with only 9 episode, the channel has been viewed for 1176281 times! Just imagine more than a million views in less than a month! That's only viikii.net. Not included other sites yet such as mysoju.com, youtube etc.

Ok I admit there will be no 1 million viewers but it is the obsessed fans who have turned into stalkers. Keep refreshing every 5 minutes...hahaha! But still! I'm impressed. And I love this channel team because they are hardworking, excellent and kind people who work volunterily for us. I heart you YAB team! Will support you till the end.

I also like to read the comments in the channel. Believe me...they are really hard core fans! Sometimes I laugh reading the comments. There r cute comments like:

Yay! It's Happy Wednesday again! or Can someone hit me at my head so that I can sleep and wake up again next Wednesday? :p

The girls especially have comments like hooooot! cuuuute! drool! and there was once they made a list from the 3 male main actors about which one they will choose to date, to marry and eevn to have one night stand and to rape! OMG! hahahahhaa! Really girls!

And there a lot of topics created in the channel. I have read once a topic poct discussing about how addictive you can be for YAB drama? The comments literally are like competition to show how crazy u have became because of the drama. Hahaha! So funny. I enjoy reading their comments. For me it's cute....hehe~

Some viewers of IRIS also have changed their preference to YAB. In online forums, there are comments regarding it such as: “I changed the channel by accident and watched for a moment, but I couldn’t forget it so I saw the reruns from Episode 1. I’ve completely fallen for it. I’ve totally converted.” (credit for dramabeans.com)

ANd of course most of them have their STALKER MODE ON. heheh~ (including me) Keep visiting the site even though we all know that the subbed episodes willbe released only twice in a week. It has become more to a fan club for a band group rather than a drama.

However, Jang Geun SUk (JGS) the lead actor felt that he was the fault that made the ratings low. He sent a note for fans at the drama website. No, no, no JGS! Why did you think like that? Because of that, the fans got 'electric shock' and they sent encouraging messages to JGS and the drama crew. They even gave a buffet gift to the drama crew (around 100 persons) at the drama set on 30th October 2009! OMG! I'm totally impressed by the fans who react really fast in SOuth Korea.

So for giving support to the drama crews who work hard, fan groups are preparing for a photo project! Apparently we need to take pictures of ourselves with messages such as:

I like Minami because....
내가 미남이를 좋아하는 이유는...


"Fighting YAB cast and crew!"
미남이시네요 제작진과 출연진, 화이팅!

Akhlak Baik

“Orang mukmin yang paling sempurna imannya ialah yang terbaik akhlaknya.” (HR Tirmidzi)

“Sesungguhnya orang yang paling saya kasihi dan yang paling dekat padaku di hari kiamat ialah yang terbaik budi pekertinya.” (HR. Tirmidzi)

“Sesungguhnya sebaik-baik kalian ialah yang terbaik akhlaknya.” (HR Muslim)

“Bertaqwalah kepada Allah dimana jua engkau berada dan balaslah perbuatan buruk dengan perbuatan baik niscaya kebaikan itu akan menutupi keburukan dan bergaullah sesama manusia dengan akhlak yang baik.” (HR Tirmidzi)

Nabi pernah ditanya perihal orang yang paling banyak masuk syurga. Baginda menjawab : “Taqwa kepada Allah dan Akhlak yang Baik.” (HR Tirmidzi)

"Sesungguhnya engkau (Muhammad) mempunyai akhlak yang agung” (Al qalam : 4).

Anas bin Malik ra. mengatakan : "Selama sepuluh tahun saya melayani rasulullah, belum pernah saya ditegur : mengapa engkau berbuat ini ? atau mengapa engkau tidak mengerjakan itu ?” (HR. Bukhari dan Muslim).

“ Yang paling memberatkan mizan (timbangan) pada hari kiamat adalah akhlak yang baik.” (HR. Ahmad)

Rasulullah pernah berkata “Aku diutus oleh Allah ialah untuk menyempurnakan akhlak.” (HR.Ahmad)

Used vs Loved


While a man was polishing his new car,
his 4 yr old son picked up a stone
and scratched lines on the side of the car.

In anger, the man took the child ' s hand
and hit it many times not realizing
he was using a wrench.

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers
due to multiple fractures.

When the child saw his father.....
with painful eyes he asked, ' Dad when will my fingers grow back? '
The man was so hurt and speechless;
he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times.

Devastated by his own actions..... .
sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches;
the child had written ' LOVE YOU DAD ' .
The next day that man committed suicide. . .

Anger and Love have no limits;
choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely
life & remember this:
Things are to be used and people are to be loved.
The problem in today ' s world is
that people are used while things are loved.

Let ' s try always to keep this thought in mind:
Things are to be used,
People are to be loved.

Watch your thoughts; they become words..
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character;
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

Pengalaman Mistik?


Salam

Setiap hari Selasa, 2 orang pelajar undergraduate akan membuat pembentangan berkenaan 'ekspresi kreatif tentang pengalaman mistik.' Untuk pelajar graduate, yang ada 2 orang je dalam kelas, kami kena buat pembentangan secara solo. Giliran aku akhir sekali, 17 November 2009. satu hape pun tak buat lagi...Huhu~

Dah namanya pembentangan kan, waktu tengahari pula, memang sesuai la untuk mengkuyukan mata. Tapi hari ni dalam kelas, aku bole gelak sepanjang pembentangan tu. Aku sorang plak tu yang gelak. :p. Ala..yg lain ada yg tertido. Sekurang-kurangnya aku bagi sepenuh perhatiankan? Bukannya apa, aku rasa kelakar plak tgk topik yang dibincangkan. Mungkin aku ni terlalu 'ignorant' sampai susah nak memahami pengalaman mistik org.
Kali ni dorang bincang pasal sorang pak hitam ni, Sun Ra yang mengaku ada pengalaman mistik. Dia ni selalu pakai baju pelik2 terutamanya baju purba mesir. Ada cakap pasal pengembaraan ke planet saturn...waa...nak buat ala-ala israk mikraj la tu..huhu~Dorang ada tunjukkan petikan filem bajet rendah yang pakcik tu buat. Aku tak le nak berenti sengih. Pastu pakcik tu ada arkestra bukannya orkestra (huhu~). Dia main muzik dalam pengembaraan mistiknya. Mula-mula aku tengok muziknya, aku jadi macam ni:




Pastu aku jadi macam ni:





Hai..tak tau la apa nak jadi dgn aku..Termakan ubat sengih dan gelak kot. Ok..mari kita tengok muzik pakcik tu ye.





Apa pendapat korang? Aku fikir satu je...Alangkah sedihnya kalau kita fikir yang kita ni di tempat yang istimewa di sisi Tuhan sedangkan realitinya kita dalam kesesatan. Astaghfirullahal 'azim. Harapnya kita tak termasuk dalam golongan tu.

Wassalam

Big Bang - The Theory of Music Domination

I am a newbie in K Pop world. But don't worry, I am such a fast learner in this 'course.' :p
Much faster than reading the books for my classes.....hihi~

Ok for the first post under K Pop label, I want to talk about Big Bang. It's a Korean boy band of YG Entertainment company. Their first debut was in 2006. There are 5 members in this group: G-Dragon a.k.a GD (leader), Taeyang a.k.a SoL, Daesung a.k.a D-Lite, T.O.P a.k.a Tempo, Seungri a.k.a VI @ Victory.

They really hit the jackpot! Very popular locally and internationally. And their latest achievement is to appear in TIMES, the second South Korean artist after Rain Bi. I personally like their music and style. Of course they are hot and they also have unique talents.

This is the 3rd Japanese single and the latest MV from Big Bang. It's also used as an OST for a Japanese drama.

I have only 2 words to say:

MAJOR HOTNESS!

hehe~XD



The leader, G Dragon has also released his own solo album recently- Heartbreaker. I do admit that his style and fashion seems a bit awkward....but it's his personal style and I like his creativity.

This is a MV of his song-Heartbreaker. Mmm..seems Lady Gagayish.



This second MV, My Butterfly is also one of the songs in GD's album. Oooo...I really like this MV. So beautiful and artistic. The song sounds relaxing too.



Taeyang also has his latest solo single, Where you at, released in October 2009. He's the Korean Chris Brown. XD And of course hotness overdosed..hihi~. Anyong!

WHAT THE HECK?!

Assalamualaikum

I usually do not talk about very very personal stuffs in my blog but today I have really reached my limit. I have been quiet a long time about this but now I need to say this loud and clear. What do u feel when ur ex who actually left u SUDDENLY, now keep babbling at you about: I know I am wrong, why can't you forgive me already? Oooo, normally, I just leave this aside but today, you just hit the wrong button, man! Especially when I have a his story test tomorrow (HISTORY). Thanks for bringing out the cursing machine and sarcasm sense in me. DANGER ALERT!

I do not want to be a mean girl but you just keep provoking me. Ok, I know we are not meant to be together, alhamdulillah I realized that. I am not mad at you anymore but I do feel HURT by what you have done. This is about dignity and backstabbing. To me you have crushed my dignity and it's not easy for me to forget it . It takes time to heal. So can you just leave me alone? Don't bother to babble about forgiving. U said:Even Prophet is forgiving. Ermm...I'm sorry.I should have told u this before. For ur information, I am NOT a prophet. Yeah, in case u didn't know about it.

As what u said: I am just an ordinary human who makes mistakes. Yes I do know that. But don't you know that I am ALSO a human who needs time to forgive? So please let me live my life. I am trying to be a good forgiving person. But each time u were the one who lit the fire back by rushing me to it! And now u keep meddling about my relationship with others! WHAT THE HECK??!!It's between me and the others. You just keep it worse by meddling. Just concentrate on ur partner and please do not bother me anymore. Just be a normal person who knows a bit about me from FB or blog; not a person who irritates me with your words.

I'll give you a tip. Just keep making DOA so that I'll forgive you one day. U, torturing me with this forgiveness thing will make things worse. For the -I don't know how many already- give me time to forgive and please don't ever bother me anymore with that kind of questions. Sorry to say this but u made me do this...now, BACK OFF!

I need to empty myself so that I can concentrate back on my readings for the test tomorrow. Astaghfirullahal 'azim.
