1) You are stranded on a strange island where everything is so unfamiliar to you. And the island was way way too much uncivilized than your hometown.
2) You can do nothing. It's pouring outside there and the only place that safe now is your own shelter. And what make thing the worst, you are alone. Even having an imaginary friend can't help you rite now.
3)You are so tired. Not having enough sleep make you think that the only thing that matter is having your own bed at home.
4) Less then 24 hours ago, you had a very wonderful tyme with your buddy, strolling around your hometown in a way that you never had discovered before.
5) You are on a trip to a place and you have to wait more than 24 hours before arriving to your destination.
And it's all happening too me.. I've already missed bangi..

lagi lagi raya
Enough of my complaints, since I am still in my raya mood, a little brag about my celebration in kampung will fill up this entry. Well for those of you that miss kampung so much, miss celebrating hari raya in Malaysia, sorry to say but it was not as groovy as you expected, for me, it was just OK. Nothing was extravagant, it's just a normal hari raya celebration for me.
Things have changed a lot for the past years. There is no more visiting relatives celebration around kampung, no more playing with mercun and bunga api with my cousins ( duh.. I was form 5 during my last raya in Malaysia ), no more routines of going to kedai apeq depan simpang to spend my duit raya buying ice creams for cousins ( who obviously have grown up and hardly remembered who I am).
But we now have our new schedule and routine. And it was hard to acquaint myself with the changes that have been practiced for the past years. I had to attend this Mr and Mrs majlis takbir malam raya, then going to majis iskandariah to perform my solat raya (which I doted on the most) due to the reason that Sultan Perak performed his solat there, then had to pretend smiling for about 3 hours during my father's open house in kampung, attended by a bunch of thousands total strangers to me. Few unknown came to me, telling me how long they had't seen me and how I had changed and at the same time, the only thing I had on my mind was, who the hell is you.. I felt quite ashamed with myself but please, i hadn't gone back for hari raya celebration in Kampung for three years, shouldn't that be a good excuse?
Hari Raya kedua was better than the first one. Apart of having to stay on a two hours these mr and mrs somebody's open house, and again smiling and pretending as if we really had a memorable time there, we had a really great evening there. And for me, that is why this hari raya is so meaningful to me. It was just a typical activity that we used to have when we were young, the evening, most of my cousins arrived in kampung (one family from kl, one uncle from kl and one family from kelantan). It was so nice to have everyone back and to see how everyone had grown after 3 years (and surely that it was me who have grown the most). We had our own ziarah-menziarahi event, going to our aunty's house next door, an ice breaking session updating on what was going on with each other, i played with my new nieces and nephews which I just discovered their existence and our activity "wajib" during hari raya, gossiping about our cousins, uncles, aunties, and parents (which literally means reminiscing those days where we had our anak this pakcik clan vs anak another pakcik clan..) It was droll and a meaningful time for me of course.
And the next day, everyone started to pack their things, and heading to our own ways. Though those short moment passed briefly, so short not even I managed to captured it in my video recorder, but it's not what in the recorder that's matter, the one that I'd captured inside my heart is the one that I will always remember forever... Thanks for having those short get-to-know activities that will obviously make me think twice if I want to spend my hari raya in France.. I end my entry with my new nephews and nieces that I've just discovered during the day..

Hari Raya
My lab partner is the smallest guy of all. During his suprise birthday party which I baked a cake for him
So guess the coming days will definitely be different without him around. Just like to remind my own-made-quotation
Friends come and go,
but brotherhood lasts forever..
(this is the answer for Shamil's friendship forever question that he asked me when I was in Dublin)
Tomorrow, I will be leaving for Ipoh for a typical family gathering in Gerik during hari Raya. This year, will be a memorable one for me. not only will I be spending hari raya in Malaysia, but the good news is, I will be having my solat hari raya back in my old town, Kuala kangsar. Looking forward to see few teachers that might be praying in the same modque, and maybe some collegians that had to stay..
So, I leave by attaching three youtube movie for this hari raya festive. The first one is a petronas hari raya eid, which goda found it touching. The second one is from TV3. I find it has no sense at all but as the commercial took place back in my alma matter, I find it interesting to share it with MCKK guyz around the globe.. And the third one, is a scary one by proton..
Selamat hari Raya
Maaf Zahir Batin

Menarik... menarik.. menarik...
Smalam aku nak tolong si Izhan ni buat research untuk homework die.. kene carik skrip drama.. pastu aku terjumpe satu website ni.. menarik n best gile.. die ade skrip untuk kebanyakan filem2 yang pernah ada... pastu aku pon bukak le skrip filem fevret aku of all time.. n bace.. hahah tersentuh hati bace skrip..
Baru2 ni ade gak tgk cite tu.. pastu leh meleleh tu air mata.,... memang le jiwang aku ni.. Cerita apakah itu? Apakah cerita yang menarik itu? aku sediakan sedikit sedutan daripada skrip cite tu yang aku amik kat internet untuk korang teka (ni macam mix fm nye teka sedutan filem le pulak)
Cerita tu bermula dengan..
Airight so this is the world and there are five billion people on it. When I was a kid there were three. It's hard to keep up. That's better. That's america. See, America still sets the tone for the world...
In Indiana -- Clark Hodd. 13. The best point guard in the country. Puberty hasn't been easy.
Becky Farling. You'll see her in the next Olympics. Seattle, Washington. Dallas Malloy. Went to court to be allowed to box professionally. She's 16.
........
There's genius everywhere, but until they turn pro, it's like popcorn in the pan. Some pop... ... some don't.
Now I'm the guy you don't usually see. I'm the one behind the scenes. I'm the sports agent.
Part yang menyentuh hati.. hahah

Paris Je t'aime
Asal2 tiba dari airport je, ada pelbagai cara untuk hubungkan paris ngan airport (yang terletak dalam stengah jam dari paris) sama ada bas ataupun RER. Memandangkan aku tak pernah naik bas, aku sentiasa suggestkan RER untuk sesape saja yang datang ke Paris ni. Terdapat dua pilihan
1) Tiket Paris Visite yang berharga 17.05 euro
Tiket ini membolehkan anda berjalan tanpa batasan selama satu hari menaiki semua public transport Paris. Tiket Paris Visite ni agak mahal sebab dekat Paris ni ada banyak tiket yang membolehkan kita naik unlimited access to public transport (akan dihuraikan di bawah) tapi cume tiket paris visite ni je yang boleh gunakan untuk ke airport
2) Beli tiket Airport- Paris 8.20
ini memang tiket pakai sekali je lah . untuk ke mane2 tempat dalam paris. lepas tu nak bergerak dalam paris kene beli tiket seunit yang berharga 1.50 ataupun boleh beli ten for 11.10 euro. tapi bear in mind yang tiket ni hanya untuk dalam paris sahaja (zon 1) untuk check zon2 tempat2 kat paris ni boleh tgk map metro ni.
Aku juga ada cakap yang terdapat tiket2 metro lain yang dijual.. di sini aku berikan nama tiket metro tu dan kenape korang x patut beli as korang sampai dari airport.
Ticket jeune
Untuk bawah 25 tahun. harganya 3.20 untuk zon 1-3 dan 6.40 untuk zon 1-6. Hanya boleh dipakai weekend dan hari cuti umum. Takleh pakai sampai airport. Unlimited access untuk the whole day.
Ticket Mobilis.
Harga dari 5.60 euro- 12++ (ikut zon). Boleh dibeli hari-hari biasa. tapi x boleh digunakan sampai ke airport. Unlimited access of transport untuk the whole day.
Boleh check website RATP untuk maklumat lanjut.
Untuk hotel, my favourite will be Accor group punye hotel. Hotel Formula 1 dan hotel etap sangat murah (bezenya... formula 1 toilet share tapi etap toilet dalam bilik). Tapi kebanyakan hotel-hotel ni terletak dekat pinggir paris and susah sket nak access ke paris (sebab tu murah). Always check with mappy lokasi hotel2 ni banding ngan stesen metro and check stesen metro tu gak supaye tak terlampau jauh dari pusat bandar.
My favourite hotel is formule 1 St Denis Stade. terletak dekat dengan stadium France (stadium world cup 98 dulu) and sangat dekat dengan stesen RER. Senang untuk ke paris. Harga pon xdele mahal sangat .
Bear in mind yang harga untuk hotel2 formule 1 and etap adalah untuk 3 orang sebilik..
Ok.. abis cakap pasal teknikalnye tempat, skarang ni jalan2 kat Paris pulak.. apa yang menarik untuk dilihat.
Notre Dame ni pulak popular sebab cerita hunchback of notre Dame tu. Ia hanyalah merupak sebuah katedral. Nak masuk dalam, boleh aje, sekadar untuk melihat2 apa yang ada di dalam. (eh, mase mencari gambar ade maklumat yang katekan gereja ni pernah ada kat cerita Van Helsing) Jangan terperanjat tengok betapa besarnye katedral ni. Bukan macam gereja-geraja kat Malaysia tau. And apa yang menarik lagi kat sini ialah adanya sungai Seine, ada permandangan yang sangat lawa sepanjang sungai Seine tu. kalau nak naik bot pusing2 paris, boleh bermula dari sini . Frankly, mende-mende ni sume aku x nah try.
