lagi lagi raya

Finally, we managed to gather everyone for our own family photo session. It's been a long time since everyone gathers just for the sake of taking picture.

It was a 'sue' day for me yesterday. As I arrived from kampung, we realized that there was a problem with our Astro. So there went whole day yesterday without Astro, and specifically without TV . And it became worst during the night as my Internet connection broke down. That really completed my day yesterday. It's not that I always want to compare things with the one in France, but, seriously, I never had any problem with my internet connection there. Well I guess we have to wait till the telecommunication engineer from France to come back and change our internet's condition in Malaysia..

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

Yesterday, had a little chat with Goda on YM. I can feel his eagerness to celebrate Hari Raya, probably, more than mine. It seems to me that being away for three years from Malaysia, deteriorate my hari raya excitement. People here have started to buy new clothes, new shoes, new songkok, new jeans, new t-shirt, pattati pattata.. But for me, i've just bought a songkok, since I don't have one and my last songkok was the one that I wear in MCKK. My father bought me a baju melayu since I left mine in France. So that's all about my hari raya preparation.

Today is my last day of training in Kumpulan IKRAM Sdn Bhd. It always occur to me that I had such a hard feeling to be away from something, even if I was just with them for two months. The last time I had the same feeling was two days ago when Izhan went back to Terengganu, which means I have no more friend in KL. (Before, I had the same feeling when Amir left me, ayub.. ajib n matno, abang ipan, the telekom guyz... ) And I clearly remember the last day of my practical training in SNCF France, I almost cried going out of the gate although it was me before who cursed the stupid company policy which needs me to wake up at 6.30 a.m in the morning (Which people don't do there during winter). Well I guess, that's life.. few days from now, I'll be leaving for Lille (KL-Bandar Seri Begawan-Dubai-London-Lille). I am quite excited to be back to my normal life again. My ex-lab-partner have just found me a new lab-partner since he terminated school and changed courses to more IT specific courses. I guess I will be having another sensitive-emotional-wanna-cry feeling knowing that this guy that have been teaching me life as a francais (all the dirty words and I even went to his house one), will not be around me this year. Thanks for everything mon cheri and I wish you all the best in IUT. What can I say about hi, he respects me a lot, not only as a foreigner, but only as a Muslim. For example, when I went to his house, I told him that I was a vegeterian who ate fish ( a common reasoning for those who don't want to waste your time explaining things) Having seen me cooking a chicken in our common kitchen, he secretly asked some Muslim people here (I mean, the real, practical one which is not common in France), and as I arrived his house, I was shocked to find a packet of Halal chicken which was bought by his father from a nearby-biggest-town. (which is about 60 KM from his house)

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

Kawan season 1, episod 1, pilot

Video ni aku buat malam sebelum exam algo et programmation.. saje release tension.. Nama2 n watak2 ni aku pakai name member2 aku yg duduk kat lille.. takde kene mengena tau ngan diorang.. saje pakai name diorang.. baru aku leh bayangkan character watak2 aku dlm ni..

Cuti mode

Lame dah tak update blog.. aku dah hari ketiga cuti.. (dari khamis-ahad) n dalam beberapa jam je cuti aku abis.. aku tak balik umah sejak abis kelas ari rabu tu.. sebab tule aku x update blog.. asyik2 duduk ngan imaginary friend je so skali skala aku pon ke lille n bersosial ngan orang2 kat sana..

Selain bersosial dengan menonton filem beramai-ramai, (ugly betty sebanyak 2-3 episod, jangan pandang belakang, extreme engineering mengenai terowong smart) aku juga menonton series2 n benda2 yang menarik yang boleh didapati dari youtube (terutamanya hal yang berkaitan ngan bumbung bocor yang sedang hangat diperkatakan di Malaysia.

Aku tak mahu melibatkan politik dalam blog ni, belum tibe masanya agi untuk aku jadikan blog ni sebagai tempat meluahkan perasaan pasal politik Malaysia, tetapi apa2 pon, diharapkan pada masa2 akan datang, orang dapat menilai sesuatu benda melalui darjah keremehan dan kepentingan. Kadang-kadang, ada benda yang layak dibicara panjang dan adakalanya, sesuatu benda itu tidak relevan untuk diperkatakan dengan begitu panjang. Oleh itu, silalah berfikir dengan betul2 sebelum anda memberi idea anda untuk sesuatu benda yang dibincangkan sama ada idea itu harus diberi ataupun disimpan sahaja daripada dipanjangkan cerita.

Berbalik kepada cuti aku tadi. Memandangkan blog ini agak international (bak kata shamil) aku sarankan website-website n cerita2 yang boleh ditengok untuk anda semua, di kala kebosanan tak tahu nak buat apa.

http://www.veoh.com
Mende ni macam youtube cuma yang kat veoh ni leh download terus.. antara cerita2 yang boleh ditonton ialah fara fauzana, jangan pandang belakang n emil emilda. Fara fauzana ni cerita pasal farah fauzana, dj PANAS FM (hot fm) n kisah kehidupan yang bagi pengajaran jugak le. Tp before tgk kat veoh, kene tengok kat youtube dulu episod 1-10. Jangan pandang belakang, cite antu yang pecahkan rekod sembilu 2. Sebenarnya, sangat hebat untuk cite ni pecahkan rekod sembilu 2. Atas dasar dulu, takde cetak rompak ataupun torrent, so skarang ni memang susah utk sesebuah filem pecahkan rekod kutipan filem2 lama. Last skali, emil emilda, daily update, cerita ni cam devils wear prada + ugly betty. + yo soy betty la fea. Lakonan sharifah amani, agak kiut gak le

http://www.tv-links.co.uk
Ini ada address website2 untuk tengok sama ada series, anime, cartoon atau movies online. Quality boleh tahan. kat sini le aku layan series2 aku. Ada separuh yang updated but ade yg tak update, so kalo nak tengok, kene download torrent sendiri. Silalah tengok sleepers cell, cerita terrorist islam kat amerika. Cerita ni cam nak baikkan nama orang islam tp adakah dia memburukkan orang islam atau cuba menunjukkan islam yang sebenar, korang kasikle pendapat lepas dah tgk. N satu soalan aku nak tanye, dalam citer sleepers cell, adekah brother fariq seorang islam atau yahudi?




SO enjoy menonton link2 yang aku bagi.. kalau sesiapa yang tension2 sempena musim exam ni, release2 le tension sket , tgk farah ke, jgn tgk datin diaries, nanti smakin tertekan.

The one with the cuffs

Memandangkan summer makin dekat n ramai orang yang decide nak berjalan2 sewaktu summer ke negara lain, di sini, aku nak kasi sedikit nasihat yang sangat penting sewaktu berjalan-jalan. Nasihat ni bertujuan untuk mengelakkan segala masalah yang bakal timbul dengan polis2 di negara yang dilawati.. Ingat, bukan sumer polis melayan pelancong sebaik2nya (contoh polis dublin yang sanggup mengambil gambar untuk pelancong or polis itali yang sanggup bergambar dengan pelancong)

Malah, wujud juga polis2 jahat seperti polis sakorzy yang kalo nampak kamu berjambang berjanggut bertudung sket, mulalah id kamu dicheck..

jangan jadi seperti mamat2 ini yang ditahan polis dan hampir masuk lokap.. nasib baikle ade seorang travel agent yang sangat hebat berdebat dengan polis itu dan mempertahankan maruah pelawat2 itu..



Oleh yang demikian, inilah nasihat2 yang ingin diberikan sebelum masuk negara orang

1) Pastikan yang korang perlu visa atau tidak untuk melawat sesebuah negara tu. Passport Malaysia memang macam kebal n boleh masuk kebanyakan negara tp bear in mind yang ada separuh negara terutamanya negara ex komunis yang perlukan visa sebelom korang masuk negara tersebut. Untuk maklumat lanjut, sila ke laman web ini.

2) Ada separuh negara yang perlukan visa untuk stay lebih sekian hari n kalo anda merancang untuk stay lebih hari kat negara tersebut, cuba buat visa di negara itu sendiri. Biasanya lebih murah

3) Kalau anda memang sure negara yang anda lawati x kena visa, sila jangan bayar apa2 bayaran yang dikatakan anda perlu bayar. Cuma cakap it's bullshit kalau orang2 negara tu suruh buat visa. Ingat, bukan sume polis kat dunia ni x makan rasuah.

4) Pastikan yang passport anda dicop masuk sebelum masuk sempadan. Untuk setengah2 sempadan yang x cop paspot, sila dapatkan informasi sebaik sahaja anda sampai ke orang yang jaga sempadan (biasanya dover-calais, terminal 3 france sgt jarang cop paspot) Kalauleh paspot anda memang x dicop atas kemalasan orang france , pastikan anda sentiasa bersama tiket masuk n tiket balik bersama anda ( ni yang berlaku kepada mamat2 di atas)

5) Senang2 cita, kalau anda ada masalah visa ke, passport ke, takyah jelah jalan.. daripade bazir duit burn, baik takyah jalan....

bagi mereka yang bercuti, selamat bercuti.. bagi yang melancong, bonne voyage n mereka yang kene menelaah pelajaran.. hahahah.. padan muke!.. huhuh

The one with the butt

Bagi mereka yang pernah baca entry mengenai presiden France yang baru, Nicolas Sarkozy, aku ada tulis yang malam tu akan ada aktiviti bakar-membakar kereta sempena perlantikan dia.. So bawah ni aku ada kasik satu file youtube yang menunjukkan peristiwa malam tu.



Tak taule ape jadi ngan kami, warga-warga perancis yang asing macam aku ni..kebanyakkan program-program dia adalah untuk pastikan warganegara perancis yang betul dapat hak yang sepatutnye.. maksudnye cam ade keistimewaan skarang ni yang sume orang dpt ( baik orang asing yang menetap di perancis mahupun orang perancis yang duduk sekian lama kat sane) tp program2 die lepas ni mungkin akan lebih mengutamakan orang2 perancis yang duduk kat perancis sekian lama.. ini ada dua benda yang coincindence..

1) Salah satu sarkozy punye projek ialah orang2 asing kena dapat sijil yang sepatutnye dulu, sebelum dibenarkan menyambung pelajaran di sini. Sebelum ni, sesiapa je boleh belajar kat France ni. Sinikan kalo belajar kat universiti murah ( free education macam german) So, slame ni sesape yang nak belajar je datang ke mari dan masuk je universiti2. Skarang ni, sebelom datang, kene dapatkan sijil dulu (Bacalaureat kot) kalo xde sijil nak masuk universiti takleh datang.

2) Alkesahnye, kami pelajar-pelajar JPA, Petronas dan Telekom di Perancis ni memang x pernah ade bacalaureat pon sblom datang sini. Bacalaureat tu macam A level or STPM. Memandangkan kita ni lebih ikut British System ( SPM= O level), biasanya lepas SPM, kita akan datang ke France, belajar language dan juga belajar subjek2 n bab2 yang budak2 Bacalaureat belajar selama 2 tahun (1 tahun untuk petronas n telekom). Sekarang ni, ada gosip gosip menyatakan yang pelajar-pelajar Malaysia JPA yang biasanya akan 2 tahun preparation kat France akan buat preparation kat Malaysia dulu (untuk dapatkan sijil) sebelum datang ke France...

Tak taule kebetulan ke, ataupun memang dah perancangan jpa dari awal untuk jimatkan kos antar budak kat france ataupun gosip tu hanya sekadar gosip n ta betol.. tapi ape2 pon kalo sebab sarkozyle program ni kena ubah.. memang butt le sarkozy ni..

tapi aku xleh pulak nak cakap buat preparation kat France lagi bagus daripada kat Malaysia ataupun sebaliknya, tp aku sangat puas hati ngan preparation kat sini sebab environment ada sume, cepat sket masok otak, n profesor mase preparation center memang cikgu yang betol2 mengajar di sekolah ataupun universiti french.. so diorang tahu apa keperluan n base yang perlu ada untuk pelajar asing seperti kitorang ni untuk masuk ke School of enginnering..

Itulah yang aku rasa bestnye fly awal n buat preparation kat sini, walaupun kene korbankan keluarga sume, tapi bila dah masuk engineering school ni, rase cam pengorbanan yg x sia2 (ceh.. nak kasik motivasi kat orang2 yang masih kat preparation center)

So, sekian sahaja untuk ari ni..

DiEdit selepas dikomen oleh Zarf.. tp memeng seblom ni agak kucar kacir je bahase.. sblom ni aku tulis lepas bangun dari mimpi yang gigi geraham aku patah.. cuak..

The one with the new millionnaire

Habis dah satu lagi season amazing race. One of my fav since orang-orang kat sini semuanye aku kenal sbb aku tgk hampir semua season amazing race. Sblom race, aku cam harap John Vitto n Jill or Oswald n Danny dpt gi jauh. Tapi mule2 lagi dah cam hampe sebab John Vito Jill terkeluar first. Nak buat camne, dah xde rezeki n dpt driver taxi chiant..

Oswald n Danny, aku just sronok tgk camne diorang enjoy every single moment on the race. Mase kat season 2 dulu le terutamanye camne diorang walaupun kaki sakit awal2 race bengkak sume dpt gi jauh sampai no 4, pastu jln-jln n lepak2 sume esp kat hong kong, quite impressionant..

Amazing race kali ni lebih bermakne sebab kali ni, lepas sekian lame diorang enter Malaysia n ade pitstop kat Malaysia.. aku memang bangun seawal pg kul 6-7 pg utk dl episod kat malaysia tu n tgk.... sedeh tgk uchenna ngan joyce tereliminate kat Malaysia..

N bile dah final smalam, sejak oswald n danny kuar aku xde le any particulier team yg aku harap menang ( tp cam harap2 charla mirna menang sket ade kot) n bile eric n dannielle menang, aku cam rase ok le, deserving gak..

lepas byk cabaran.. dua kali kena yield, tertinggal flight 2 kali.. kene mark elimination, tak pernah menang any league.. danielle membuktikan yang die ni the smartest of all blonde dgn dpt menyelesaikan kuiz sblom final sprint...

dengar cite lepas ni dah x de amazing race ..harap2 tak btol sbb aku xleh bygkan kehidupan mendownload aku tanpa amazing race ngan survivor.. minggu depan survivor finale lak.. tak tau le sape yg menang.. harap2 yau man menang tp orang sume cam dengki kat die.. n aku memang tiap tahun cam minat orang2 underdog sket.. nak2 si yau man tu org malaysia..

sblom blah.. ni antara team2 yg aku harap dpt masuk all star tp x dpt.. nak wat camne..

1) Tara n Wil (season 2)
2) fRANk n Margarita (season 1)
3) Drew n Flo ( Season 3)
4) David n Jeff (season 4)
5) Meredith n Gretchen (season 7)
6) Mak Paolo n anak paola (season 8)

tu jela kot.. sbnarnye aku baru sedar sgt best kalo jumpe orang yang punye interest ngn kite.. cam mase aku kat la rochelle dulu.... aku sorang je yg tgk amazing race ngan survivor so cam kadang2 kalo nak bincang aku cume bincang ngan imaginary friends aku je.. cam skarang ni, satu rumah kat lille ni tgk amazing race, survivor, house, heroes, friends sume n rase sronok bile dpt bincang, discuss n tgk sesame...

aku harap cbs dpt buat something agi best in the future.. i was thinking of the survivor race.. n ni antara team2 yg aku cadangkan ..

1) Arras n Cirie
2) Yul n Becky
3) Jenna n Ethan
4) Yau Man n Earl
5) Steph n Bobby John

ni aku nye angan2 je.. hahah.. macamler mamat cbs tu leh faham aku tulis.. maybe kalo ade orang yang share the same interest as me.. leh reply kat entry ni...
