Some viral hashtags are cute.. others, well, should be given second thoughts!
Consider this: You post a picture of your mouth-watering meal and hashtag 'foodporn' & 'foodgasm'. While the picture is 'like'-worthy, your hashtag? Not so much. Yeah, they're popular hashtags, 'everyone' uses them nowadays! Live up, will you, Ayu!!
O...k...
Here comes your 5-year-old, who just learnt how to read. He/she takes you phone/iPad/tab from you and proceeds to try reading you FB/Instagram and when he/she comes to the end of you post, he/she pauses. He/she gives you their sweetest smile and asks..
"Mummy, I know food is makanan, right? What does the other word mean?"
Dang! Now what! You stammer some reply while racking your brains for a good answer and finally settle with something like this..
"Its just something we add to show we really like it, dear!"
Then kids being kids, they love to show off any new words they learn. So in the field while playing catch with friends, "This is gameporn!" Or sharing their favourite Postman Pat book with their grandparents,"This is bookgasm!" Or while watching their favourite cartoons on tv..
Face palm, much? Or maybe I'm the one who's being backward thinking.. bu in a time where kids now grow up way too fast, being exposed to things way to easily, maybe, just maybe, you'd want to consider this next time.. ;)

To Cut Or Not To Cut..
Its that time again where I am faced with a timeworn dilemma..
Well of course its not that long, but still.
I washed my hair at noon today. It was a hot day and my head felt a bit too sweaty so I grabbed my towel and took a refreshing wash-hair-included shower. Just what this scorching day needed. That was more than 6 hours ago but right up till now, my hair hasn't dried up properly.. dang!
This is a cycle I keep going through. I've always had thick tresses and I'm lucky enough to have hair that grows a bit more quickly than others (tidak lah sy tak bersyukur =) ). The problem is, I'm a bit of a lazy bum when it comes to cutting my hair..
..which leads to my current problem of cursing myself everytime I wash my hair as I have to wait for hours for it to dry before I could tie it up or something. Hair dryer?! Ohhh, no noooo.. I hate those even more!
It shouldn't really be a problem since now I have my own freedom in cutting my hair. When I was smaller, my father never let me cut my hair. Once when I was in standard 3, the hair dresser had cut my hair a bit more shorter than I had told her too.. not that I minded as it wasn't really THAT short. About half an inch above my shoulders I think (I had asked her to cut it around an inch BELOW my shoulders). Back home, my neigbours were praising my new hair and I was smiling until my father came home. He took one look at me and told me that this was what an anak derhaka would do and proceeded not to speak to me for 2 days.
Of couse it hurt. I was just 9 years old then and the fear of God was still firmly engraved in my heart (sbb time tu tak banyak dosa lagi kan hehe..) so after that, I realized if I ever wanted to cut my hair, I'd have to ask. Not that it was made easy for me, it usually took 2-3 months before permission was granted. This was the reason why I seldom cut my hair then, only once in 2-3 years.
However, now I don't ask for it anymore so I don't really have any excuse NOT to go cut my hair. But I guess outta habit perhaps, I never cut my hair until its up to my waist..
..as the current length.
The last time I cut it was around 2 and a half years ago, I think. That was the shortest I had ever cut it that my family commented on it (sbb tak penah tengok sy rambut pendek kot hehe..). I couldn't even tie my hair up and I suffered agonizing months of waiting for it to get past my shoulders to finally be comfortable enough to tie up haha.. serves me right! I always knew I hated short hair so why laaa did I take the risk?!
So now, as it has not yet dried, I am thinking of the possibility to try this new saloon in Pekaka (they actually have a curtain for Muslims.. something hard to find here) But I guess we'll have to wait and see as my usual behaviour during the time I'm waiting for my hair to dry and when it has actually dried is VERY different. Kemalasannya memuncak!
As for now, lemme sit under the fan while hoping it dries faster, eh

Kitchen Experience.. After A Long Hiatus =D
A few days ago I put this on my FB timeline..
..because I gotta admit, I haven't been cooking for a long, long time.
I bought those onions a few months ago, and they were supposed to last for long (the reason I always buy this kind). So imagine the time that has passed since the last time I cooked. Most of my friends asked me to just plant those onion bulbs to make way for 'newer' onions hehe..
The normal lousy excuse I'd give is I'm busy with my classes.. pffttt~~ Of course I have time, but I somehow preferred just making sandwiches and all those other easy stuff for my meals.
But today, I was feeling a bit 'rajin', thus, I finally entered the kitchen (thought not my kitchen, but my mum's since I'm here in Penang currently).. yeay!
Didn't really cook something from scratch but I cooked nonetheless =D Mee rebus Jawa, and I must admit, its the ready-made paste one (for the kuah laa.. the other things to harus la ku buat sendiri jugak). Though I still had to add some ubi keledek to it coz the ready made paste results in such a watery gravy and I like a more thick one.. (my claim to fame yg ade jugak la skit effort kaaannn :p)
No! I'm not gonna upload the photo here.. Just wanted to prove to myself, I have finally COOKED AGAIN!
Aci?!? :p

Pukul 3 pagiii~~ ♪ <--tipu, baru kul 2.45am
Saya sangat lah berbau ikan-ish dan udang-ish sekarang!!
Tp sy suke.. sbb? Sy rase hari ni sgt laaaaa produktifwpun sy bangun sgt giler lambat arini
![]()
Siang tadi, setelah beberape hari membasuh langsir (yg sebenarnye sudah kering pade hari sy basuh jugak.. opppssss!), akhirnye sy berjaya meyakinkan diri sy yg sy cukup rajin untuk memasang langsir tersebut kembali! Maka, sudah tertutup lah kembali tingkap sy yg pecah ituuuu (Opppsss, lagi!)
Siang tadi jugak, sy telah berjaya menghabiskan sisa² akhir kerja² penyusunan buku² sy hehe.. boley? Minggu lepas start, minggu ni baru siap, Ayu? Ohhh, sungguh 'rajin' sy kan.. Sekarang, sudah tiade lagi buku² sy yg berserakkan di atas lantai, di tepi katil, di meja makan dan sebagainye kerane semuanye sudah sy susun di rak² sy yg baru dan lame itu. Seronok, okay!
Tapi..
Sy ingt buku sy banyak sangat. Sbbnye, rak² sblm ni pun tidak dpt menampung buku² sy (sbb tu la sy gedik beli rak baru hari tu kaaannn!) Tp rupenye, bile sy dah susun kesemua buku² sy, sy dapati masih terdapat ruang untuk.. hmm.. satu.. dua..
Tiga..
Empat..
Hmm.. Lima?!?!
Lima buku koooooooottttttttt!
Ape patut sy buat?
Hmmm.. terpakse la pegi Popular beli buku baru kan? Heheh.. sgt tak sedar diri kan padahal sedang menunggu lagi 4 buah buku dari The BooksGalore yg sy dah pesan bulan lepas. Itu pun nasib baik sy dah tutup FB sy buat sementara ni, klau tak, mesti sy rase mcm TERpakse pergi ke pautan untuk The BooksGalore atau Penjaja Buku kan.. kannnnn
Ohh.. lupe pule! Sy jugak telah berjaya mengemop (ade ke perkataan ni?) bilik belajar sy itu (Bilik belajar la sangaaaaaaaaatttt.. lebih kepade STOR BUKU shj!) setelah beberapetahun.. err, bulan.. tidak melakukan aktiviti tersebut. Maka, bilik ini sudah boleh digunekan dgn selese kembali.. yeayyy!
Petang tadi pule, sedang sy bersiap mahu ke pasar malam, kedengaran tepon sy berbunyi menandekan rezeki hari Jumaat sudah masuk hehe.. nak tau ape sy dpt? Tadaaaa~~
![]()
Tapi.. laratkah anda nak buat jamuan bukak pose ni, Ayu?!?!
Sbb tu la pukul 2.30am baruuuuuu la siap semua keje² tu..
..dan sbb tu la sy rase sy bau cam ikan dan udang skrg!
Sib baik sy tido sorg, klau tak, dah kene halau dari katil dah gamaknye hehe..
='(
Tp sy suke.. sbb? Sy rase hari ni sgt laaaaa produktif
Ehh.. Iklan jap! Ari Isnin (ke Selase ntah) aritu merupekan episode Hari Ini Dlm Sejarah buat sy sbb sy berjaye mengupas durian pertama sy! Selame 31 16 tahun hidup ni, selalu org len je yg tolong kupaskan tp di hari yg permai itu, SY KUPAS SENDIRI! Percaye tak? <--Okay, cm sgt over la pulak budak Ayu ni..
Okay, sambung balik..

TQ Abg Azahar.. ni boleh simpan sampai raye ni, bukan senang nak dpt kek rasmi Sarawak ni! Tp mcm sedikit ragu² je, sempat ke nak simpan sampai raye, takut blum sempat bulan pose pun dah abis kooottt.. oppssss! Ohh, tak leh. tak leh.. paling tidak simpan ke bulan pose buat jamu kwn² mase berbuke, sebarkan sikit pahale org yg kasik, ye tak?
Tapi.. laratkah anda nak buat jamuan bukak pose ni, Ayu?!?!
Di pasar malam, sy dpt membeli sayur²an, udang dan sotong. Sgt tidak dpt digambarkan perasaan sy bile lihat peti sejuk sy penuh di bahagian simpanan sayur ituuuuuu <--nmpk sgt ruang tu sgt jarang laaaa diisi kaaannnn
Balik ke rumah, sy mule menyiang dan membersihkan barangan yg dibelikan.. tetibe mcm perasan rajin la kan, klau tidak, sblm ni dgn plastik² bungkusan tu sy campak di bahagian sejuk beku <--dasar M!
Kemudian mase untuk ke kelas.. TAPI, sblm tu sy sempat singgah Econsave untuk mencari ikan sbb mase dok perasan rajin menyiang udang sotong segale sambil teringt sayuran yg bnyk itu, sy teringat ikan kukus kak Shima yg sedap~~
Rindu pulak kat kakak² sy tu dulu (Ishhh.. sedey tetibe)
Maka, bile balik rumah semule, sy menyambung menyiang udang (ye, sy buat keje ngan lembap!) termasuk la ikan yg baru dibeli sambil berlari ke ruang TV sekali sekale untuk melayan 2 buah muvi dia TV3 dan RTM2 tadi hehe..
Sbb tu la pukul 2.30am baruuuuuu la siap semua keje² tu..
..dan sbb tu la sy rase sy bau cam ikan dan udang skrg!
Dan skrg baru sy nak rase mengantuk.. tp sy nak mandi dulu kasik wangi sblm tido wpun tido sorg!
Ye, entri ni mcm tah pape.. tp sy seronok sbb rase mcm sgt terisi hari sy hari ni. Kan seronok klau hari² sy bleh rase hari tersisi camni.. tak payah la sy nak pk pasal bende yg sy tanak pk tu kaaannn.. kaaaannn..

Aim untuk tahun baru.. err, bkn ke dah 21hb ke arini, Ayu?
Okay.. okay.. I know! New years has left us 3 weeks ago and tetibe I'm thinking of writing about my resolutionkah?
Heheh.. tak lahh! =p
I don't usually make yearly resolutions. Biasenye resolutions made bile terpk nak buat je pun but this year I DO have one main aim: Mau abis amik data and at least 3-quarters of my analysis and writing by, lets say, September! Nak kate mid-year, mcm tak tercapai dek tangan lah pulak kan hehe..
Anyway, I've actually wanted to write about this from 1st January lagik but too many things happened from then till now. 2nd day of the year, I had a severe stomachache. Okay la, I dunno la how to rate it sbb tak penah sakit perut camtu, but lets just say sy sanggup lagik kene period pain tak berenti sepanjang ari dari sakit perut mcm tu lagi. Luckily I just needed some rest.. (and unluckily, an afterthought of that incident is still bothering me..)
Then last week we had the Civil Moment of Friendship Camp which since I don't have any pictures, sy tak berperasaan nak tulis lagi.. kot! But I enjoyed it thought the leech bites we had to endure are still itchy till today.. aishhh, pacat hutan kot camni? Bese kene pacat, idak le gatey camni! In fact, two 'punctures' were still bleeding the next afternoon.. sheesh! Anyway, tgk la klau ade gambo dari memane, maybe I'll post here (Okay.. ni cam tak malu dok budget ade org bace blog ni la sgt kaaaaannn hahah..)
Okay, lepas bace both paragraphs above, sgt la terase yg sy ni bnyk alasan kan? Heheh..
Anyway, what I wanted to write about was something I thought about on the new years eve. Last year, me and a few friends 'celebrated' new years eve by watching Sherlock Holmes secare berjemaah sebelum pekene Char Koay Teow Bandar Perda.
This year, I went to Yun's house before a friend called 'nak ajak makan'. I thought, ok la, bleh gak nak sembang² but it turned out sy telah diculik dan dibawa ke karaoke centre hahah..
Ohhh tidaaakkk~~ Ayu pegi karaoke centre?!?! Miracle ok.. miracle.. tp sy tak le nyanyi.. kang ujan ribut taufan Pt Buntar ni kang..
Anyway, it got me thinking. Bnyk bende yg org biase buat, tp sy tak penah buat cam karaoke ni aritu la. Also other normal things like enjoying the sunset (well, kene la jugak factor in nak solat Maghrib sumer jugak kan) yg seriously sy tak penah buat, believe it or not! I've never even tempered with my hair: straighten ke, kasik perm ke (nak kaler sy tak minat and takmo pun, ok!). Only done normal cut yg straight je takde layer² yg simple tu pun wpun every hairdresser I've ever went to ade mcm² idea je nak main ngan rambut sy tp sy sentiase kecewekan mereka dan mntk potong straight je.. boring kan!
I've also NEVER sewn my own baju kurung (and I'm a girl, for God's sake!). Boleh tak sy penah tempah baju kurung kat Mat.. yup! A GUY! Yg pandai jahit baju. Klau setakat jahit butang ke (yg selalu senget benget) or jahit bodo² tu boley la.. yg mane di mase yg same, sy berharap takde org take a closer look at it klau tak konpem sy kene halau balik form 1, belajar balik asas menjahit dlm Kemahiran Hidup.
So I made up my mind yang this year would be the year of trying!
(Ohhh.. now that I've said it, I've really dug a great big hole for me to fill eh!)
Its not a resolution ke ape ke.. just for the fun of it to colour up my otherwise black-and-white life. But I really wanna try to do things I've never ever done before in my life this year. Granted, tak semestinye ianye ialah bende² giler gah cam wowza style (like panjat Twin Towers ke ape ke hahah.. ohh tidakkk!), just bende² normal yg org len biase buat but I've NEVER done out of cowardice or maybe plain ignorance..
..though, its actually a bad start since I can't figure out WHAT new thing I wanna try out first! Heheh.. huh! Cakap je lebey Ayu ni hehe..
But seriously, I think I wanna try. I wanna look back at the end of this year and see that my life is actually quite colourful instead of mcm statik je in a straight line year after year. I wanna do things that I wouldn't have done before and I wanna make each moment count (even when I hate it!)
Though tidaklah akan ku, for example, jahit baju sendiri dlm mase terdekat ni kan since bnyk je tailor di USM nih yg boleh anto baju heheh.. but who knows, maybe bleh berguru ngan kak Ainun ke atau Mat ke and by the end of this year, I might have my very first handmade baju.. kan.. kannn!
Right now, I really think that I'm gonna try doing different things this year. Start small la kan, insignificant to others but mean something to me ke kan. Lets see if I ever feel like this again and actually do it instead of cakap je kan.. but hopefully, I'll manage! ☺
(Apepun, sy salahkan Awang dan Zabidi sbb buat sy sedar yg sy tak normal cam org len hahah..)

Saya kah? Awak kah?
Last day I watched the last episode of Epilog Syurga Cinta. Now, I'm not someone who follows any kind of soap actually tp sbb mase bulan puase aritu dah tertengok, jadik la berperasaan nak tengok lagik. Mau pulak ade si budak Mia itu. I'm not good at rating any soap series ke movies ke but for this, I'd say ok² je la kot. Pleasing la nak tengok cume sedikit kuciwe with the finale yg cam tak bes langsung.. seriusly!
Anyway, sy pun bkn la nak tulis pasal the series. Tgk pun dah separuh dah start aritu. What tickled me was the scene between the kids. Bukan la sbb budak² tu lucu.. tp sbb conversation between two kindergarten kids menggunekan kate ganti diri 'saya' dan 'awak'.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the trend we have here for Malays is kids usually use their names when referring to themselves while talking to anyone.. btul ke tak? Mane ade budak² kecik cakap 'saya' and 'awak'.. so those scenes kinda felt unrealistic la.
Though it did make me wonder, growing up, did I ever sound that strange ek?
When I was in primary school, I took a leaf outta everyones book and used 'kami' to refer to myself as well as 'hangpa' (the Northeren dialect) for you. But as I entered the second term of school and my friends progressed to 'aku' and 'hang' (also Northeren dialect), I stuck with 'kami' and 'hangpa'. That was until cikgu Noerida corrected me, pointing out that 'kami' actually referred to A LOT of people (as in 'we') so she suggested I started using 'saya' and 'awak'. Since she was my FAVOURITE teacher, I followed suit and guess what.. it stuck till now! I was 7 years old then and 30 now haha.. bayangkan brape tahun dah sy ckp camni..
Even to my immediate and extended family, I don't refer to myself using my name, Ayu. Instead, I also use 'I' or 'saya' so I'm the odd one out in Abah's extended family (all my siblings and cousins use their names when refering to themselves) and almost an odd one out in Mama's except that some of my cousins, my Mak Yang's children also all use 'saya' when talking to everyone.
I think I wrote about this once la dulu.. haaa.. --> here
Anyway, this habit of mine always raises an eyebrow or two whenever I go someplace new. Like when I first entered secondary school, I was teased for being too proper (gune 'saya' and 'awak' tu was like sgt la ikut bahasa buku kaaaaannn) but in the end my friends accepted this in me though most still thought I was strange (dah la tatau ckp Penang kaaaaann hahah..)
In matrics I was also teased. A guy even called me 'biawak' for the sole reason of me using the word 'awak' when most of them used 'hang' or 'kau' but I really couldn't change the way I talk.. despite feeling a bit hurt when some girls called me 'skema' just for talking that way.
Then, sometime during my undergraduate years, I realized my 'aku' 'ko' friends were using 'saya' and 'awak' when talking to their partners or to people they like. Aisehhh.. this made me squirm when talking to boys coz I didn't want people to misunderstand me but try as I might, I still couldn't change.
And now, using 'saya' and 'awak' seems to be the cool IN thing la plak tetibe hahahah.. even if most of them sound a bit fake (acikah sy ckp camtu?). If people only knew what I went through growing up using these two words in all conversations.. ☺

Doa student untuk cikgunye.. ☺
Just came back from jogging (more like brisk walking). Usahe menurunkan berat badan sblm kenduri Adi hahah..
Anyway, usually I have kak Jah with me so I'd while the time away with talking. But since today I was going solo, I got a bit bored and decided to delete smses from my overflowing inbox. However, among the recent smses was an sms from my student. Sejak 2-3 mlm ni seronok pulak bertext ngan student haha.. do I need to get a life?!? Hey, I love them, okay!
Back to the sms, this was what my student wrote:
Oh Tuhanku
Seandainya telah Kau catatkan dia milikku
Tercipta untuk diriku
Satukanlah hatinya dengan hatiku
Titipkanlah kebahagiaan..
Ya Allah
Ku mohon apa yg telah Kau takdirkan
Ku harap dia adalah yang terbaik buat diriku
Kerana Engkau tahu segala isi hatiku
Peliharalah daku dari kemurkaanMu
Ya Tuhanku yang Maha Pemurah
Berilah kekuatan juga harapan
Membina diri yang lesu tak bermaya
Semaikanlah setulus kasih dijiwa
Ku pasrah kepadaMu
Kurniakanlah diriku pasangan yang beriman
Bisa menemani aku
Supaya ku dan dia dapat melayar bahtera ke muara cinta
Yang Engkau redhai
Seandainya dia milikku, satukanlah
Agar ku bisa bahagia walaupun tanpa bersamanya
Gantikanlah yang telah hilang
Tumbuhkanlah yang telah padam
Ku ingin bahagia di dunia dan akhirat
PadaMu Tuhan ku mohon segalanya
Satukanlah..
Erk?!?!
It was on of those I-dunno-whether-to-be-amused-or-insulted moments haha.. tambah plak with the last sentance in the sms
"Cikgu jadikan ayat atas ni dalam doa Cikgu. InsyaAllah jodoh Cikgu semakin hari semakin hampir.. Aminn"
I'm officially declared 'takde harapan' by my students!!

My Sunday
For the long weekend, I only had ONE totally free day.. SUNDAY! And since my brother Adi was home for hi wedding preparations, I decided to head back to Penang.
First, I needed to go to Abah's since we were meeting there for his wedding discussion. As I was driving, I noticed something hehe.. not important la, but do you guys have these unavoidable dates you just remember. For example, Christmas. You see '25th December' and the only thing that crosses your mind is, well, Christmas. The same was for Sunday. I DON'T celebrate Valentines but can anyone NOT remember the date? I'm sure ALL of you know it, right?
Well, as I was driving, I noticed something on my meter..
Hahaha.. then I realized my mileage was a bit off so I decided to wait a few kilometres before taking this picture plak hehe.. coincidently, I had the same mileage as the date of the day kan ☺
Ye laaa.. not THAT amazing, but I love looking out for numbers (Thats why I can't help remembering some peoples birthdays.. and NOT ALL birthdays are for people I love, the curse of it!)
Then, that night we went to Ferringhi Night Market to find some odds and ends for Adi's hantaran. We didn't find what we were looking for but Adi found the perfect ring case for his hantaran theme: Pirates?!?! Ohhh, tidaaaakkk!~~ Hahaha..
But I also got something I've been searching for long. A Mary Poppins DVD.. okay la, you KNOW la kan that night market jual DVDs camne, but I've tried searching for it for so long so when I found it there, I couldn't help WANTING it! ☺☻☺
And when I went back home, way past midnight, Ikram happily handed me something he knew I'd like..
Videl! Girlfriend si Son Gohan.. yeayyyy! Added to my collection already.. suke okay!
Okay la, wanna sambung my work.. just wanted to make sure my blog tak berabuk here.. have a great week ahead!

Barang baeeekk punyaaaa!
Hahah.. okay! Lame attempt to be 'cool' (cool kah?) hahah..
Anyway, utk memenuhi permintaan ibu mengandung kite, Pn Nomi yang merequestkan satu entry untuk hari ini, maka dengan segala besar hatinye sy membuat entry ini..
Actually, tatau nak tulis ape, okay! Nyusahkan la ibu nii hahah.. Jgn maraaahh na Nomi..
Just a few minutes ago, Mus called me into the 3rd postgrad room for a 'barang baek' (Iyer, it was Mus nye ayat tuu!). Ingatkan ape laaa, upenye..
Bubur asyuraa courtesy of kak Sue!
Thanks kak Sue.. muaaaahhh! Nomi, sile jgn jeles ye.. sedap nihhh!
Dan di depan itu ialah pencil Stabilo yg sampai in the mail (?) for me. Tatau nape dapat, but kununnye its for lefties so dengan semangatnye I tried ☺
*Nape rase same je ngan pencil bese?*
Sekian..

Hari ni sy raye!! ☺
Akhirnye, setelah berbulan mencube, sy sudah raye hari ni.. yeay! Hahah..
I know, a bit lembap this year.. but at least I finished before the new year right. Both new years pulak tu, with 1 Muharram tomorrow and 1st January in a few more days. So of course I'm happy! And what a better time than now since I've been having a terrible week.
Started with a spliting headache that refused to go away. Then on Saturday, it went away just enough for the 'bomb' to be dropped on me but at least I managed to forget it during Ina's kenduri (OoooOOoo, haven't update on that yet right.. great day for her and I'm happy for her). Then turned out I had tonsilitis (the actual reason for the headace and fever, me thinks!) and had to eat these sgt smelly meds.. yuck! Still taking them btw.. ughhh..
But today, for my raya, I was pleasantly suprised when my students were genuinely concerned on my throat haha.. They had known about my condition when I wasn't as talkative nor loud in class as usual. Most of the girls suggested tips they learnt on the internet like eating ice-cream and such. Munirah even suggested I just go with surgery to take them out.. erkkk!
Still, I was touched! Thanx guys!
So I'm dreaming of a choc chip pie I saw in Pt Buntar the other day to celebrate my raya.. aci kah? Looked yummy!
P/S
Another 'raya' update that is not-so-raya-like: Me and Farah were at the musolla for Zohor prayers when kak Sue and kak Ira came in. Kak Ira has been worried seeing my eyes swollen so much since the past days (and she's making me worried jugak since I remember its like a sign of kidney problem or something). She thinks I've been crying too much hahah..
Anyway, as usual, after solat I'd do a bit of a wirid and doa so while sy sedang berdoa dengan penuh khusyuk dan tawadhuk (nmpk sgt la tipu kan!), I heard her commenting to kak Sue (See! Khusyuk kunun!) about my swollen eyes and of her suspiscion that I've been crying a lot. Then kak Sue being kak Sue dengan sengajenye raised her voice and said, "Alaaa, tu kan dia tengah doa tu.. Ya Allah Ya Tuhanku, ringan kan la jodoh aku.." Bla.. blaa.. blaaa..
I was in the midst of my doa and I burst out laughing out loud. Hampeh kak Sue.. she was already shrieking by then, knowing yg dia dah berjaya tumbuh tanduk dan menggangu org yg sedang berdoa hahah.. and when I looked at her, she had the cheeks to flash the peace sign to me! Ceh! Hahaha..
No wonder I love our kakaks in the office haha..

A little bit of this and that..
Actually, still not in the mood to update for raya (rasenye langsung takkan ade mood dah ni kat hahah..) but I had a good one ☺
Still bersise² demam yg blum abis with my voice yg still ala² kambing but I've started teaching again. Sgt bosan okay bile tak mengajar so today sy mengharungi lah jugak panas dan tekak yg seperti berpasir ini demi anak bangsa (Over tul Ayu ni!)
Somehow, usually sy dah jarang melayan bdk² ni merepek merapu but hari ni, when they asked me for an open house, I BOLEY SETUJU!!!
What was I thinking?
Adeh! Now hafta think of a menu for them.. hambik ko, Ayu.. bersetuju tanpe berfikir! Dah la next weekend we'll be in Sarawak so we made a 'date' on the weekend after. Ye, I know, still have sufficient time to 'brainstorm' for the menu.. but?!?! Mampus kene kutuk klau tak sedap hahah..
Yesterday plak duk rumah je whole day. I felt a bit better actually on Thursday morning so I came to school for the undergraduate Geomatics test we did until 1pm. Usually we go find some shady area while the studetns do their thing but since today was an instrument setting test, we HAD to stay under the sun jugak la kannn.. and thus, demam balik la on Friday so decided to skip school altogether..
Didn't know what to do, the mati-kutu-syndrom dan² la menyerang kan time nak sgt ade alasan ponteng school so I went through my CDs and found Sound of Music.. yeay!
I really love this movie and tak pernah bosan watching it. It still makes me laugh as if I heard the joke for the first time and it still makes me cry as if I didn't expect those touching scenes.. AND, I can still sing along with ALL the song, sore like kambing and all haha.. alaaa, the whole street tu sy sorg je duk umah ape :p
Malam pulak since I had cancelled my class, was really bored so text my neighbours Arep and Salleh and turned out they were planning to go out pun. Ape lagi, I tak along je la haha.. and terjebak lah jugak membeli kete menan like them..
Okay lah, wanna stop now. My body still aching so I wanna take a nap jap before my class tonight (and try to think of WHAT TO COOK for my students nanti.. haishhhh, camne leh setuju nih?!!?)

School in raya mode ☺
Parking pun senang nak dpt eventho dtg lambat hehe..
Keje pun malas nak buat (sblm ni pun malas gak, tp kali ni extra malas!)
Tadi already went out to buy extra choc chips and cocoa powder as well as some creamy penaut butter, lets just see will those items turn into two types of raya cookies or not hehe..
*Alamak! Baru tingt, lupe plak bwk recipe for Irnis.. sowi!*
Anyway.. miracles of miracles! I woke up this morning (after tidoq balik pas Subuh hehe..) and went to brush my hair la yg went haywire during sleep. Then I noticed, the charlie attack has ACTUALLY dried up! Wow! The last time I kene, it took weeks to dry up, and to heal tu lagik la kaaaannn.. but today, though it still stings, at least the dead skin dah boleh ditarik and voila! The parut cannot be seen unless you look closely.. yeay! Tak yah belajar pakai make up heheh..
Also went to buy extra brooches tadi haha.. I dunno why, tahun² sblm ni memang la my students dpt duit raya from me but I never gave them anything else. Tahun ni tetibe je rase cam wanna buy the girls some brooches. Dah murah² dah those crystal brooches and I only bought yg kecik je la.. bkn la yg set mak datin-like tu. A few years back RM12 satu (cepat rosak plak tuhh!).. skrg ni RM10 bleh dpt 5 (the best offer at the place I went to buy tadik.. kedai lain ade yg jual same brooches but RM10 for 3 or 4 je)
Mlm ni planning to make some cookies after tarawikh (which would mean way into midnight la kan since I have my class until 10.20pm japg). Dengan harapanye jadik la kan, since my cookie making skills dah seriously rusted!
Nak tulis ape lagik ek?
Haha.. well, since dah takde idea, lemme stop here. Kepala dah pk mcm² dah ni, only half heartedly into this entry.. so, selamat berbuke ye semua! :)

Bile BEE kawen ngan DRAGONFLY
I was on the rush to go to school this morning and whilst I was trying to shut the gate, something whizzed passed me. It was yellow and black and all at once I tried avoiding it as I only thought of the stinging bee and how it had hurt 24 '10' years ago.
During noon, I headed back home for a nap and a pleasant sight greeted me. Once again I saw a flash of yellow and black but I realized it wasn't a bee. This was what I saw.. 
Neat huh.. okay la, my phone's camera doesn't exactly take good pictures so I took another one that afternoon when once again I was greeted by this 'being' when coming home from school to get ready for iftar. 
I'm not sure about you guys, but this is the first time I saw this type of insect. I'm sure if I Google, I'd find the exact name of it but for now, let me just call it "The product of a bee and dragonfly gone elope!"

Chili² Boom².. New Neighbours and another award
Yesterday when coming back from my tuition class, I was listening to the radio and a song came up. It reminded me of my school girl days when Britney Spears was stil made of sugar and spice and all things nice. Sgt bubblegummy..
I didn't catch the title nor did I catch the singer.. tp paling chumel was the chili² boom².. and the singer punye suare like Lady Gaga BUT I don't think its her sbb tak mcm her type of song pun sbb song ni cam bdk sekolah nye sweet style hehe.. so who knows this song, please tell me eh.. I want to listen to it again :)
Hmm, most of you have nver heard me complaining about my next door (left side) neighbour. The Mrs is okay as well as the kids, its the Mr I have a problem with. Eversince with kak Shima and kak Kathy, through the time Yun and Elie were my housemates saaaaaaaaampai la Rusya, this pak cik like always je carik pasal. Especially time wife dia takde.. so I did what I do best, ignore and avoid him!
Earlier this month, my neighbours pindah tatau pi mane and I was HAPPY! Hahah, jahat nye jiran. Takde la, I just wasn't comfortable with the pak cik so I was relieved and tak sabar to know who my new neighbours were (I assumed it'd be another family since the pakcik had renovated his house cam lawa la jugak, takkan dia nak sewa kat student je kot kan?)
Dengan seronoknye citer kat Sharil sbb dia penah kene marah ngan pak cik tu. Sharil bising sampai anak dia tak leh tido katenye, padehal satu school tau Sharil ckp cam dlm kain.. AND mlm tu anak² pakcik tu bukan ade kat umah, ikut wife dia gi mane tah. Tah pa pe tah pak cik tu. Mcm² la kesimpulan dibuat sbb nye pakcik tu pindah tgh malam buta.. serius!! Hahah.. tp I tau dia bkn lari dari byr utang la sbb itu umah dia sendiri.. hehe, saje je nak tumbuh tanduk skali skale kaaaannn (Ni nnt Irfan kate la, "Cikgu seronok je kan ngate org!")
Anyway, 2 days ago, I noticed 2 cars in front of the house. Then I heard a gelak ala² penjahat kat drama² melayu from the house. Gulp! Apekah ini?!?!
Then semalam, I realized, bukan 2 cars but 4 cars and at least one motorcycle. Aiyak! Upenye kate Arep (jugak jiran baru sy tp belah kanan umah, pakcik tu nye umah belah kiri), budak² 'bujangan' (Arep nye word) yg duk situ. Ramai la pulak tuuuu..
Whaaaatt?!?!
Alaaa.. chek tak sokaaa! Pasni tak leh nak ngelat, kene bertudung litup ngan sempurna je even if nak kuar amik bende dlm kete (klau tak, pakai campak je selendang atas kepale). Mesti jadik anak dara sunti je tak kuar² umah..
..and before anyone comment kate 'Takkan tak suka kot', for once I ngaku I dah tua. Takde nye nak gedik sonok duk sblh umah bujang reramai when I live alone in my rented house. Sgt tak selesa, okay! I'd rather have the weird pakcik now :(
Klau Arep and the gang takpe la jugak, leh je nak buat perangai sembg tepi pagar style makcik² bergossip ptg² but when its people I dunno.. alaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, tak suke!!!
Alaaa.. award tu upenye kene tulis bende haha.. malas la nak compose. Next entry je la ek Syitah heheh.. :p Nnt kak Yong wat, k

School makeover.. and unfortunate 'individual' as collateral damage! Hehe..
Klau sesape ade bace blog Mas, they'd know our school is going through this make over. The whole school smells of paint and turpentine.. yucky!
However, one plus I saw was the toilet makeover.. lawa wa ckp luuuu! Heheh.. just like toilets we'd want in our own homes (if we could afford it la..) Cantik! Jgn sampai org lagi suke duk toilet dah le kot ekk..
Anyway, personally I think our school looks ugly (Sorry pade sesape yg pilih kaler) We have these mustard-coloured doors all around us. Konpem la tak ngantuk klau dtg school. The door frames plak, grey(?!?) Apekah..
Well, at least tak la cam disaster school Bahan a few years back haha.. I remember telling my frined in Bahan that thier colour reminds me of something that I can't put a finger on. In the end I settled with 'spoilt mustard'.
Tau dia kate ape?
"Ayu buat baik pulak!! Ngaku je la school kitorg kaler t***! Huh, sape tah pilih kaler!!"
Erkkk..
Hahah.. a few days later, diorg cat lain kaler school tu heheh..
Anyway, I was going to the toilet when I passed Dr Wan Aminuddin's room. Looky here..
Apekah itu ye?
Here's the closeup..
Heheh.. cian! Mangse keadaan :)
P/S Sowi kualiti gambo tak seberape :p But the lalat already 4-5 days stuck there maaaa..

Jambatan Pulau Pinang
Wah.. macam tajuk karangan laaa hehe..
Anyways:::::
In my dreams: I'm finishing off the final touches of the progress report for the FRGS grant..
Reality: Tengah konpius, ape yg perlu sy isi niiiiiii.. Mule la nyumpah borang ni.. dan nyumpah diri sendiri sebab mengong sgt!
*sigh*
There was something I wanted to write about last week tp cerite itu telah ditenggelami kisah tige sekawan kuar berjalan² hehe.. Tp arini plak, telah melihat kembali ape yang nak diceritekan pade minggu lepas, so sy rase nak tulis jugak :p
Went to Penang just now. Misa's slacks which were still with me perlu dipulangkan. Dia nak pakai first day keje di tempat baru, terpakse la bagi kannn.. dah la dia size XXS, sy nak tumpang pakai pun tak muat.. konpem! :D
Oppss, ubah topik plak..
Well, to go to the island, you have to go through the bridge la kan.. unless naik ferry yang sy konpem la malas nak queue! Anyway, just to inform Penangites yang dah tak reti nak balik Penang (Ade sape² terase?!? Heheh..), Penang bridge dah halfway through the widening project :) :) :)
Actually, there were 'bits and pieces' of the span of the bridge that already had 3 lanes but only parts of it were open. From the toll gates on the mainland until somewhere near the middle of the bridge, cars were zooming by using all three lanes hehe.. but after that, ade la bottle neck nye balik since after that, either it had 3 lanes but the third lane was closed or the construction was still halfway through.
I'd like to give some intellectual discussion of the bridge, mengenangkan I've been stuck in Civil Engineering for almost 10 years now, and specifically in traffic and highway engineering for 7 years of that.. BUT THEN, I don't wanna reveal how stupid I am, do I? Hahah..
Still, it was sort of a nice sight.. even if the bridge I know looks a hell lot of different now. But to conclude it, I felt as if I could organize a football match (orang Melayu nye usual expression: bleh men bola!) on the bridge.. saaaaaaaaaaangat lapang! I was actually suprised when I went on the bridge as you usually have to 'fight' for the lanes, but this time, it was a breeze. Bleh relax² instead of melawan perasaan tension sebab sgt perlu berhati² on the bridge sblm ni..
..and I enjoyed the drive! Tu yang penting kot (Ape yang penting?! Kejeeeeeeeeeesame!!)
Bart told me the widening should be completed by August and truth be told, I can't wait to see the differance it would bring (KALAU ade la kaaannn :p) I've been using this bridge (with Abah or Mama la on the steering wheel before I got my car) for 23 years now (OKAY! Now THAT makes me feel old!) and I guess I'd like the change..
Best news takat ni is, the toll fares would remain the same.. yeay!
I wish I could take a picture of it but since I was driving, tak leh la kan.. tak pasai je accident nanti. Even on the drive back, it was kinda pleasant.. but then again, I DID avoid the rush hour so I don't really know how its like during that time (not that I wanna know anyway :D)
Well, there are 6 more months now (tp kate Bart, progress is much faster than planned.. I'm glad!) so kite tunggu dan lihat :)
P/S
Ughh, I actually wanted to write something else than my usual ramblings of my life.. but I sound.. fake hahah.. I'm not gonna try this again after this!

I wish I could take a picture of it but since I was driving, tak leh la kan.. tak pasai je accident nanti. Even on the drive back, it was kinda pleasant.. but then again, I DID avoid the rush hour so I don't really know how its like during that time (not that I wanna know anyway :D)
Well, there are 6 more months now (tp kate Bart, progress is much faster than planned.. I'm glad!) so kite tunggu dan lihat :)
P/S
Ughh, I actually wanted to write something else than my usual ramblings of my life.. but I sound.. fake hahah.. I'm not gonna try this again after this!

Prof Talk
Today we had the Prof Talk by Dr Midi and Dr Farhan.. Oppss, Prof Hamidi and Prof Farhan hehe..
Actually, its the first time I ever went to listen to this kind of talk. Our school only recently started to have our share of professors. Starting with Dr Azazi (the Kelantanese English speaking lecturer hehe.. we used to enjoy listening to him talking in English), Dr Amin.. then Dr Midi and a few months after that Dr Farhan. And the recent prof is Dr Meor. My previous supervisor, Dr Wan Hashim, has also received his professorship, though not in USM la since he's not here anymore. But in UniMAS.
Anyway, the talk was ok la.. quite what you'd expect. But I loved the multimedia presentation abg Shidi and his team (I know kak Chah went to take all those pictures and videos with abg Mie kot).
Dr Midi's multimedia presentation prepared by them (Dr Midi wasn't allowed to watch it beforehand, klau tak silap sy!) was very.. I can't really say sad.. but, touching perhaps. He started with very humble beginnings and there were pictures of his childhood.. hehe, chumel la Dr, muke budak² baik heheh.. they showed his house were he grew up in. He was the youngest from 9(?) and his mother couldn't read but she made him believe in the importance of education. He lost his her when he was in form 1.
Patut la kak Jah cakap: Sebak bile tengok Dr Hamid punye history..
Actually, most of us only knew about this sebab kan the professor talk. I dunno about other U's but prof talk ni to me is like a very big deal. Sebab tu la the staff and students in my school bersungguh² tried to make it a success. Every little detail tu dilihat dan diperhati (tak same ke makne 2 perkataan tu?), thats why Dr Midi nye history ni sy baru tau..
Sedih jugak bile tengok but look at him now.. believe it or not, when he wanted to enroll in a university, makne engineering pun dia tatau! But look at him now.. kagum giler sy! He's about to be my newest role model after Dr Farhan hehe..
And suprises of suprises, I actually enjoyed his talk. I always thought of him as bapak². The gentle but strict type.. one you could trust tp nak melawak² ke, sy tak penah berani sgt. Even nak gelak² in front of him pun but his talk was full of jokes (actually, dia ngaja pun ade gak jokes dia la Ayu.. dah lupe ke?) and I found myself laughing along with the others.
Lupe plak: His son made this multimedia presentation (sorry, I dunno what other word to use here.. bukan org IT kaaan hehe..) and Dr Midi inserted it in his presentation.. alahaiii, sweet nye ayah n anak!
Then when his wife was called to present a bouquet by the school, baru first time all of most of us saw his wife. Lemah lembut and cantik la wife dia :)
Dr Farhan came next. Ni memang betul cakap kak Jah.. sgt beze la Dr Farhan and Dr Midi. Bak kate kak Jah, bende paling susah Dr Farhan pernah kene buat is gi sekola naik beskal.. Dr Midid dulu, umah pun takde elektrik..
Tp Dr Farhan's multimedia presentation by the multimedia team was the best of both hehe.. they did this close up of him in a recent pose.. then moved backward saaaaaaaaaaaampai la ke gambar dia time baby (Kinda like the Benjamin Button case ke ek heheh..) Mase kecik sgt chumel hehe.. time sekola, he had these gigantic glasses style dolu² punye kan.
There was one picture of him mase marching for hari sukan skolah.. it was then revealed that the girl behind him was his dear wife, Dr Azlina (also already a professor.. sy baru tau je tadi.. besnye rezeki diorg kan). And since its known around the campus on how much of a loving couple they are, byk jugak la pictures of them together.. siap one picture tu the team editted so it will be framed in a heart. Mase Dr Azlina was called to give Dr Farhan a bouquet of flowers, sgt sweet tgk Dr Farhan kiss his wife forehead in front of everyone during this supposedly formal event.. besnye! :)
His parents and parents-in-law were present as well as Fawwaz yg macam dah sihat je sy tengok. There were pictures of Fawwaz in the hospital jugak and rasenye semua org sebak tengok dia mase tu. Alhamdulillah la dia dah sihat kan :)
Anyway, nape sy tak tulis pasal the contents of their talk ye?
Hehe, the contents ok la but we've heard them.. it was the history of these two pillars of the school yang sy baru first time dengar and yang menarik perhatian sy :) and even if I've always looked up to them, I know see them in a different light too..
P/S Sowi, the pictures as usual from my phone je la kan.. and same position sbb postgrads were asked to sit in front. Tak dpt nak bgn dari kerusi to take different angles ke ape ke :p (Alasan tul la Ayu niiii..)
P/S 2
Mencelah sikit. I baru tau, my students tulis kat buku diorg on the Teacher's Name slot: Ayumi..
Huik, mase bile name sy tukar jadik camtu?

I'm pleased with myself and I wanna talk bout my 'children' :)
*smiling happily*
Today I'm still a bit unwell. Dah malas nak dtg dah tadi but ticking off all the jobs I've put off since Monday made me force myself to come to school jugak after Zohor. Spent the morning finishing off New Moon, and sorry to Twilight fans, but I'm kinda annoyed with Bella. Hahah, tatau la, tak suke.. I actually think she's pathetic.. skit² hyperventilate, skit² hyperventilate.. aparaaaaaa.. bosan! But thats just my view kannn :) Lain orang, lain view dia so I'll stop there..
Eh chup.. nak tambah skit. I'm rather fond of Alice though. She sounds so cute and makes me feel like she'll be a good friend. I also love Jacob Black.. to me, these are among the strong characters! Oppss, okay, before the fans campak kasut, kulit pisang, burger semalam and apple busuk kat sy, baik sy benti hehe..
Anyway, berbalik pade sy (hehe.. sounds soo narcissistic kan? :p), I thought I'd be swamped with work but turned out, there wasn't much to do la pulak. I managed to complete the 4 claims and also invitation letter as well as get back both my papers and go through Younes's paper. Then did a few fund transfers and finished off with the notes I wanna give to my students this Saturday (tetibe rase bangge ngan diri sendiri hahah.. buruk perangai!)
So now, I'm free.. and I wanna write about my 'children' (lagik?!?!) Actually wanted to write about them since Saturday tapi sebab tak larat kan.. iyer, sy tau, macam la orang nak bace sgt, tp blog sy, sy nye suke ahhh :p Besides, they make me smile :) :) :) (Especially SE ek? Hahah..)
Today would me the last day for my second-class cycle and I'm beginning to get comfy with my students. Kelas Form 5 biase la, most of them are students I've taught before so you can imagine la kan camne ngade nye diorang kengkadang tuh. But I enjoy teaching the upper secondary syllabus so I don't mind.
They suprised me though.. there's this group of students (Hazril, Nazreel and the gang) who took my class whom I suspected did so only because they thought I wasn't garang enough (Ayu tak garang?!?! Impossible hehe..) Last Saturday kan I was not well so my patience wasn't exactly on a good level that day and they were their usual noisy selves. I was just finding an excuse to snap, knowing that when they talk, konpem keje tak jalan. So I went at the very back towards them, being prepared to scold them when I noticed, THEY HAD FINISHED THE ASSIGNMENT.. or at least was doing them. Truth was, usually they don't do that.. thats why I suspected they took my class: because I don't scold them too much!
I was suprised.. and pleased! And realized, for that day, Cikgu Ayu sayang jugak la kat diorg haha.. Mampus klau diorg tau sy ckp camni as I usually tell them their cikgus don't sayang them sebab tu asyik sy je kene relief kelas diorg. Lupe jap I was sick that day :)
My Form 4 class pun same, mostly students I've taught before so seperti di atas, mereke juge agak ngade sambil menggunekan alasan ngade sbb dah tak jumpe cikgu Ayu setahun daaahhh.. (I taught them in Form 2) Haha, of course I enjoyed the class :)
My Form 2 class in Jawi are new faces as I've never taught them before, being given a break from Jawi last year, but they are sure chatty. And this is the first class where the front row is monopolized by boys haha.. Serious sy terkejut sebab usually kan girls yang duduk depan. Ni idak, satu row tu diorg aje hehe.. so sy sgt suke!
Form 2 class in Bagan Serai pulak mostly my old students. Cheeky bukan main, tak padan dah matured setahun! What made me laugh in my last class was when they 'bullied' Zaim a.k.a Penyu and I told them off. The next time they wanted to 'bully' him, sy jeling and trus je Izat ckp, "Takpa hang Penyu, mentang² la Cikgu Ayu sayang kat hang.." Haha, sejak bile pulak sy ade pet dlm kelas ni?!!?
Form 1 in Bagan Serai is a very small class, only 8 students. But there's this boy yang SGT kecik. I thought he was in standard 3 or something as assumed he was in the wrong class. Teacher Harjit told me he was very slow before but has improved a lot. Somehow, I like watching him concentrating on my questions hehe.. sangat kiut! He'll focus his eyes somewhere while you could almost see 'vapours' coming outta his head hehe.. He's still quite slow but he smiles so beautifully when he knows he's got the correct answer :) Hamizzat kot name dia.. Then there's this other boy who reminds me of Nadiah coz he looks like Nadiah's youngest brother :) And this girl, anak cikgu Rohaizat who sangat semangat buat keje. She doesn't mind doing mistakes and would do the corrections over and over again without complainning..
Form 1 in Jawi pulak, I have this pair of twins. I don't remember their names coz I keep calling them Upin and Ipin (suke hati je sy ni kan haha..) Kecik gak though beso skit compared to Hamizzat. And noisier (Hamizzat setakat ni sy tak penah dengar sore), like a bullet-train! I also had a girl, Naziha Suhaila, younger sister of Nazleen Syahira my ex-student a few years back.. pandai cam kakak dia but now she transferred to the centre at Pt Buntar (which is also my class haha..)
One thing that gave me a suprise about both these classes: One day, after class when the girls usually come to salam me, I was suprised to find Upin (mase ni Ipin lum masuk kelas ni lagi) also in line to salam me. Errkk, I didn't know how to react when I noticed all the boys in class were also ready to salam me tp sebab diorg budak², sy turutkan je wpun sedikit janggal sebab diorg siap cium tangan lagik.. alahaiii, nampak sangat budak²nye diorg ni! That was in Jawi, next class in Bagan Serai, the same thing also happened when Hamizzat came smiling while holding out his hand. Errk, sy rase kekok lagi haha.. tapi takpe kot kan, budak² :) Thought lawak jugak la bile the Indian boy in the class pun salam cium tangan gak hehe..
Form 1 in Pt Buntar tak macam tu, takde nye salam² cikgu except Naziha la, naturally. Tp diorg ni, trus mintak name penuh cikgu la, number phone cikgu laa, leh msg² kate nye.. adeh! Pulakkkkk hahah..
So there, my first entry about my students for the year 2009. Hmm, yup, I'm holding back on writing about my SE kan Baizurah :p Takmo la, nanti cam awak cakap, kene tindakan disiplin plak kang heheh..
Taaa..

Musim demam..
Iyer.. macam ramai orang lain, sy pun demam..
Dari hari Sabtu dah.. dan w/pun terdapat kelibat SH sy di hari itu, sy masih demam. (Tp smlm pun ade kelibat dia jugak sbb dia tunggu kat bwh heheh.. chumel!!! <--Gatal balik!! Hilang jap demam sy smlm bile sembg ngan dia haha.. Ya Allah Ayu!! Insaf laaaa..)
Start hari Sabtu pagi and by Ahad petang tu sy tak tahan dah wpun malas nak gi klinik. bukan takut makan ubat tau.. tapi malas nak tunggu kat klinik tu. so sy pun gi 7-11 beli ape² yang patut.. Seperti di bawah
Dan jumlah harge yang sy bayo utk semua tu menghampiri RM50. Errkk, ubat beli kedai pun mahal ek? Paling mahal Bonjela kot, RM12.90.. kenape sy rase dulu Bonjela Rm7.00 lebey je ek? Tp sebab mulut sy ade ulcer jugak, sy beli la w/pun tak setuju ngan harge yang aunty tu buh kat situ (Bonjela tak beli kat 7-11 Taman Pekake, beli kat kedai ubat kat Nibong Tebal)
Ubat batuk cap ibu dan anak ade sentimental value utk sy (berangan jap..) w/pun sbnrnye sy rase takde la berkesan sgt kot.. cume dia sedap lagi dari ubat batuk lain yang sy penah rase.
Sy beli Vicks kecik sbb sy dulu sy beli yg beso and tak abis gune sampai dia expired. Pastu 2 bulan lepas mase sy batuk² and selesema, sy sapu la kat dada sy tapi mak aiiiiiiiiiiii.. bau dia dah sgt tak sedap dan baru sy pasan Vicks tu dah expired. Sy cube lap tapi masih berbau, so terpakse sy mandi sbb tetibe terbayang sy akan tenat akibat keracunan Vicks yg expired (Imagination sy memang mcm tu.. sorry!) so sy beli Vicks kecik, so tak rugi dah len kali (Vicks beso tu masih giler byk isi time tu..)
Pastu sy beli tatau ape name dia tp sy tau name glamer dia 'kokyok'. Sy belajar gune bende ni mase kat AlMashoor. Mase kecik sy tak paham camne plaster putih ni berfungsi utk sakit pale dan sakit belakang, sampai sy try mase kat AlMashoor.. Pastu sy suke pl;ak main mende alah ni dan oleh sebab kepale sy migraine balik mase sy demam, sy pun beli la mende alah ni jugak..
Sy tatau camne tin Nescafe tu leh termasuk dlm gambo (Oppss, kantoii!! Saya tak minum la Dr Ina, tetibe je dia termasuk dlm gambo ini.. :p) tp sesungguhnye Nescafe Latte pade hari itu sangaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatt pahit dan tak sedap dan tak menarik langsung.. dan sy harap itu akan put sy off Nescafe Latte dah pasni..
Kenape sy citer pasal ubat ye?
P/S Utk ADI
Air Cool Rhino tu ckp, "Boleh dicampur dengan air lain" :p <--Inside joke, Adi je paham
P/S 2
Ni pulak ubat sy untuk hari ni wpun sy tau sore sy masih rock
