sorry coz lama tidak mengupdate blog ini. saya adalah malas menaip entry. blog sendiri pun paling2 2 kali ajer entry seminggu. malesss banget.

anyway, some brief story of shizah's wedding. well, i was quite disapointed coz setelah mengemail dan mengym dan mengsms sumer contacts yang aku ada menyeru (cewah) untuk memberi sumbangan kepada pembelian present tuk shizah, and do u know how much i get? rm0 people. yes, TAKDO orang bermurah hatila plak. maybe dah tengah bulan kot (umie said after finding out 'bout this: kata boss aku, kawenla semasa awal2 bulan..) so sumer orang kekurangan dana. atau terlupa nak masukkan. atau tak sempat masukkan (umie kata dia kasik direct kat bapa shizah coz tak sempat masukkan kat aku, hehe). nevertheless, aku telah menshopping gak untuk si shizah ini. mujur ada sales lagik, huhu.

just aku dan umie yang kelihatan di majlis kawen dia. hmm, sumer orang bz kot? secara ringkas, perkahwinan dia sederhana tapi meriah laa gaks. lauk2 kawah adalah yummy2 belaka. sesapa yang tak datang adalah melepas tengok ~~aku~~ shizah di atas pelamin (err, did i told u that i was the bride's maid of the day?).

on another note, sesapa yang nak tengok baby darin yang chomellllllllllllllllllll la sangat, do visit musz's fotopages by clicking here.

itu ajerla short update saya pada hari ini, sekian.

pre 10 yrs reunion entry part 2

2006-12-07T10:19:00.000+08:00

hi guys. this is where we will discuss the activities for the becoming event plak, hehehehhe. anyway, jangan diabaikan list kat entry bawah tuh. takkan takde sapa yang nak volunteer kot? anyway, asal plak orang2 yang tak dapat menghadirkan diri plak yang macam sibuk2 n berminat n contribute all the ideas whilst yang nak join senyap2 jer neh? ada plak yang tatau nak join ke tanak, senyap2 tatau la baca ke idak blog neh langsung, hahahahhahah.

thanks to hairi plak, yang telah menyumbangkan 4 cents (bak kata dia) dengan memberi idea demi idea. so here go both plan a and plan b. plan c kalo ada sesapa nak kasik pon silakan, ehem.

plan a (outdoor @ langit cerah tanpa hujan):
1. bola sepak pantai (weh...main bola sepak bleh ramai2 sepak banding volleyball)
2. volleyball pantai (kalo korum yang ada takat 6 orang jer..)
3. galah panjang (ada terfikir itu hari, seronok gak neh, terhegeh2 dah tua2 main galah, hahah)
4. main pasir e.g buat istana pasir (errrr, lame sangat ke idea neh? hahaha)
5. main baling selipar (sumer orang sila pakai selipar occay?)
6. main teng teng (errrr, comel sangat ah main teng teng, tp slamberrr)
7. treasure hunt (ni menda nak menyusahkah pihak ajk tertinggi, hahahha)

plan b (indoor @ hujan lebat2)
1. congkak <-- aku bleh korek congkak kat umah
2. uno <-- seronok weh, aku leh preparekan
3. poker/blackjack/etc <-- sapa ada daun terup? mine tah mana tak campak
4. saidina/scrabble <-- sapa ada set neh?
5. batu seremban (layannnnnnnnnn)
6. karaoke (aktiviti wajib)

tuh diaa. in case cuaca elok2 jer, we can do both indoor and outdoor activities. kalo sumer kompem by 10hb neh (sapa lom bayo n confirm, please do so), maybe kita leh group2 kan people and do some sort of pertandingan suka2. maybe leh kasik hamper kecil2an, hahhahahha. tuh semua tengok ah..kalo ada rezeki lebih sumer pon bleh.

by the way, i also have some ideas on the souvenier. yerlaa, takkan nak pergi takdo souvenier lak kan? takder plak kenang2an for our reunion neh. setakat neh ini jer aku terfikirkan:
1. tangkap gambo sumer orang yang hadir, edit tulis2 skets perkataan seperti "10 years reunion of batch of 96", cuci and frame..kasik kat sumer yang hadir
2. keychain (lame lame lame, tapi blasah jerla)
3. car sticker (tatau nak wat kat mana plak menatang neh)

anyway, setelah plan selambak2 neh, cam tak cukup lak nak rm20 sorang. anyhow, kalo ramai yang datang, aku rasa bleh laaa nak kowtim apa2 ke. soooooooooo, kalo ada sesapa yang berezeki lebih itu, yang terasa nak kasik sumbangan lebih itu, adalah sangat2 kami alu2kan. yerlaa, bila lagik nak belanja kawan2 kan? nih pon some sort of belanja kawan2 gak nih, hehehehhe.

okay korang2. please2 give me more feedbacks. kalo ada menda2 tercicir kita wat entry part 3 plak, okess?

preparation list for 10 years reunion

2006-12-06T14:35:00.000+08:00

mr. jojie ym me after reading entry di bawah. katanya dia takleh nak menghadirkan diri but dia bleh memberikan feedback untuk kelancaran majlis kita. makanya dia telah meng-drill aku dan meng-list kan apa2 menda yang perlu untuk reunion itu nanti (thanks ek jojie!). then, i thought might as well i put it up here, so that u guys can read and give your own feedback. we might need to add something to the list coz, besala, dari mata sorang jer, itu jer yang terpk. nampak cam dah complete. also, we need to assign each and every single task on the list untuk responsibility sesapa yang sanggup. this way, takderla ayoi ngan k-zie tertonggeng2 nak menyediakan semua2nya. memang nampak cam simple nak wat bbq, tapi every minor details tuhlaa yang tak perasan dek mata kasar, adalah agak leceh dan complicated nak dibuat.

as you go through the list, kalo ada sesapa nak volunteer on any task itu, adalah sangat digalakkan. part2 pembelian, akan dibincangkan lebih lanjut dengan pihak ajk tertinggi terutamanya bendahari projek. maybe part beli2 bleh dibuat oleh ajk tertinggi je kot dengan bantuan aku yang suka shopping ini, yehaaaa, hehehhehe. but then, the rest of the list is fair game. sila laa mengvolunteer ek, hehehhe.

so here go:

preparation for bbq/makan2:
1. tempat bbq -> umie
2. arang + fire starter
3. beli + proses + perap ayam + daging -> ayoi kzie co
4. masak air + air gula -> ayoi kzie co
5. masak mee goreng -> muna
6. masak bihun goreng
7. kek gitu2 -> um2u

things to buy:
1. frankfurter/sosej/daging hotdog
2. gula
3. aluminium foil
4. arang +fire starter
5. pinggan/cawan kertas
6. plastik sampah
7. tisu
8. ais + seafood (beli kat pd)
9. steel netting + tong drum (if necessary)
10. sunquick/apa2 air nak dibancuh
11. serai

equipment to have:
1. bola (preferably bola sepak) untuk aktiviti
2. poncho
3. tikar
4. emergency lamp untuk pengcahayaan -> muna ada satu. sapa ada lagi?
5. baldi untuk basuh membasuh tangan
6. baldi/bekas air untuk air minum
7. surat khabar lamaa
8. kipas (untuk bbq)

pre 10 yrs reunion entry part 1

2006-12-06T11:51:00.000+08:00

we might not holding it in 5 stars hotel. or 5 stars restaurant. or somewhere else grand enough to befit our status (errrr, hahahaha). we might not plan it to be ~~wedding~~ event of the year. we might not invite artist/celebrity (ker korang nak kita invite erin sebagai celebrity cam kawen azuan itu ari? hahahah). this reunion might not be in the paper/urtv/mastika/mangga/harian metro.

but we have each other. and with only this promise, i do hope most of us will be there.

we'll make the reunion fun coz we have each other. being the person who loves to plan, my head is jammed with though after thougt, plan after plan for the renunion. hey, knowing that we will have bbq by the sea pon sudah cukup mengujakan saya, hehehhe. and i know, some of us are more concern about the activities berbanding some of us yang tak kisahlah apa2, jumpa kengkawan jer dah fun.

so far, pihak penganjur yang menyediakan tempat telah plan2 untuk mengadakan sessi karaoke. how he will accomplish that, kita serahkan ajer kepada dia. aku plak telah mencadangkan kepada ajk tertinggi untuk bermain bola sepak pantai. i think that activity will amuses most boys and the girls yang nak join in bleh join, tak pun join jadik pom2 girls also can. terlintas kat fikiran nak cadangkan main bola beracun, as my colleagues did when kitorang wat aktiviti sosial itu ari, but then since kita akan beraktiviti di waktu malam, tak sesuai sangat kot. kang bola campak jauh sangat malas nak carik, hahahha. pihak ajk tertinggi pon raised the issue of malam yang gelap to me. i assured him by saying kita bleh menggunakan emergency lamp. hey, jangan gelak, kuat tau cahaya emergency lamp aku tuh. but i think we need more than 1 laa. sesapa yang ada emergency lamp lagik? register skets kat aku.

since pihak ajk tertinggi pon ada beberapa kerat ajer, dan sungguh tak menang tangan, i think kita2 ini bleh menghulurkan bantuan seadanya. part2 planning nehla yang slalu tak cukup kaki tangan nak kerjakan. okay, what we can do? ok, meh kita discuss satu2. i'll be making entry2 sampaila abes kita discuss sumer menda yang teringat, part by part. at least kurang skets bebanan pihak ajk tertinggi kan?

memula neh kita discuss food. we will have bbq, sebab bbq itu adalah tajuk utama kan. ayoi cakap ari tuh, dia plan untuk bbq ayam, skits daging, frankfurter/sosej/daging hotdog. pehtu aku gatal2 maukan sotong and pichie maukan udang, hahahha. we even thought of bbq ikan, n jadik ikan bakar plak, but then ayoi kata kalo ada ikan kena ada nasik. i even sembang2 sama ummu ari tuh and terpk nak bbq jagung laaa, keledek laaa, huii sedapnyaaa. macam2 laa nak bbq padahal kutip pun baru rm20 sorang, hahahhaha. makanya, ari tuh aku cakap sama pichie, maybe seafood neh kita bleh buat as sampingan. means tak perlu lagik seafood masuk main budget kita. on the 16th tuh, datang2 sana awal, hopefully ada duit persiapan yg berbaki, then tak cukup kita collect about rm10 ke sorang lagik to buy the seafood, then ajak orang pd g serbu nelayan, hahahhaha.

itu hal bbq. takkan nak makan bbq ajer kan? apa cadangan korang? should we have spagetti ke? or should we have nasi putih ajo makan ngan all the bbq stuffs ke? or should we have mee goreng ke? mind u, this is the dish yang untuk kasik kenyang laa. takkan nak makan daging jer kan? fine for some people, tapi ada orang tak kenyang nak makan bbq jer, hehehe. ke nak buat mashed potato (sapa reti/rajin neh? hahaha).

some of us dah side2 plan dah to menyumbangkan makanan samping2an seperti buah2 laaa. coleslaw laaa. apa2 laa. i even terpk nak menyumbangkan karipap sardin. tapi tuh terpk jerlaaa, tatau ah sempat ke tak, hehehehe.

sila2, kasik cadangan anda. nanti dah puas ati kita move kepada perkata kedua plak.

p/s: blog dah jadik tempat meeting, hahahaha.

Job Well Done

2006-12-04T13:47:00.000+08:00

Kudos to Muna!! Now we have another new medium to keep in touch...(keeps me wonder jugek, sampei bila laaa ek, tgk aje yahoogroups & board kita...ala2 nyawa2 ikan gitu..hehehehe)

Believe it or not, aku baru ler tau pasal blog nih this very morning..Soooo ketinggalan zaman...Last few days aku ikut laki aku outstation to Melaka & Johor (kengkonon nak honeymoon skali lagi tapi penat yg amat...). Gamaknye aku terputus hubungan lah dgn dunia luar... By which made me think, 10 years back, takde laptop takde internet connection, takde lah pulak terasa terputus hubungan de kalo p mana2 pon... Kenapa agaknye yek? Maybe nowadays we rely too much on technologies to keep in touch with others... Maybe that's the best excuse that we can make to our friends (and to ourselves) when we, somehow or rather, lost contact with others... Which leads to another soalan cepu emas... How did we, really, lost contact with our friends? Friends whom we hung out with for 5 years, sebumbung sekatil setilam sebantal... even shared the same kain basahan... During those 5 memorable years, we have had our shares of laughter, tears, gossips, fights, and lots more. Maybe it was memorable to some, but not to the other... Shame to those who did not wish to go back to memory lane..as they have actually wasted 5 years of their lives...

Hmmm sentimentol laa pulak kan tetiba...

But this was what i've been arguing with some, bila kita buat reunion, or when there's a wedding among us..The ones yang turn up is the same group of people. Same old, same old... Aku pon tatau lah berapa jumlah sebenar batch kita ni (hahahahah...ok u can shoot me now :P), tapi kalo nak kumpulkan sekali 50 orang tu memang payah... And with the coming reunion - REUNION 10 TAHUN SMSTJ PESAKA 1996 (panjang betol tajuk eh), hopefully we will manage to get to see more unfamiliar faces...

K. Cukup lah aku nye celoteh buat arini yek.... Believe it or not, it has been 10 years since the last time I wrote (tulis jurnal masa sekolah dulu laaa..tu pon tak hengat..) Dedulu konon nak jadik writer...tapi tak kesampaian lah pulak... Nak buat blog sendiri, aku ni memang teramat lah rajin nak mengupdate (unlike some of our friends :P).. With this blog created by Cik Muna kita, hopefully, this will not be my one and only post hehehehe...

Till then guys, and have a pleasant week ahead (arinih baru ari Isnin..arghhh)

Horrey...

welcome to the superunknown

2006-12-01T12:54:00.000+08:00

Hmm.. After I have read um2u's post back there, i felt speechless.. byk org gile kat lam dunia ni.. many people had become extremists..

but my post here is not about all the sad things in life .. Just a review on jalan2 .. I think we should put this under the category of jalan2 & makan2... now comes my review of the Niah Caves (for those who wanted to be smelled like bat dungs @ guano..ehehe!)

Niah?? Why do I have to go there?

The oldest modern human remains in South East Asia was discovered HERE.
Two (2) of the caves are gazzeted as National Historic Monuments (Great Cave & Painting Cave)
U wanna see people hanging / abseiling on the top of the caves to get birds nest?
U wanna see the bats? LOTSA BATS..
Or u are bored suddenly u wanted to become an adventurer / cave dweller...

How to get there?

The easiest way is you board a plane bound for Miri or Bintulu (Kuching is a hell lot farther than this two places). Take a bus from Bintulu (Rm30++) or Miri Bus Station (Rm 20++) to Batu Niah (the transit town to go in Niah National Park). As buses don't go inside until the park HQ, u have to take taxis or prebet sapu at Batu Niah. Fees range from RM 20-30 per cab. Otherwise, it would be better if u rent a car from Miri or Bintulu as the journey will only take you half day (5 hours driving from Miri/Bintulu to Park HQ & back). Prices range depending on what type of car you're planning to rent. A Wira would cost you around 60-80 bucks a day.

Batu Niah is a typical transit town where you can get ur makan here.. alot of places or warungs as choices.. There's even a day market which sells veges, local fruits & at one time there's people selling ular sawas n tenggilings.. Exotic!

What's there anyways?

After your long journey, you will be greeted by the Park HQ for registration (RM 15 for adult, RM8 for students carrying IDs). After that, you will proceed to the river bank to ride a boat to the other side. RThe river only about 20-30 metres far from bank to bank. You will have to pay RM1 for each ride you take (and u basically need to ride it 2 times, pergi n balik). Quite expensive if I may say so.. The river ride is not THAT far even.

When u reached the other side, u will be starting your journey already. The first site that you will see is the Archeological Museum (in my case I'd visit the museum later, because the main attractions are the caves themselves). You will be walking on wooden planks which will be very slippery when wet. I was practically struggling and almost sprained my ankle as the wooden planks there was covered with moss. So, bring your best sport shoes when walking on the planks. The journey from the riverbank to the first cave would take you around 45 mins or an hour if you spend a lot of time admiring nature. The first cave is like a hall, where the cave wall is covered by practically green moss. Even there was this lines which looked like lines for a volleyball court at the centre of the caves. I bet the locals staying nearby used this place for sukaneka @ annual sports meet. After the first cave you will see the archeological digging site on your left. I asked the park HQ regarding this site, and they said that there are a certain week in a year that the archeologist will come and inspect the sites for any new findings. Whenever that time comes, the park wouldn't be open for visitors. The same goes for best nests picking, there are a certain period where the abseilers could not pick up bird nests as that is the mating season. So they will not allow those abseilers to go and pick up the nests. BTW, they only can pick up the empty nests only.

The Rest Area (where the sign in my pic up there is located) is a downslope of sandy area before you will be going in the dark caves (Padang, Burnt Caves & Moon Caves). You can have your rest here if you wanted to, because there is a big hut located in this area. After that, you will proceed up the wooden planks tangga with iron handrails (its a good measure to bring gloves as the handrails are covered in guano). Kalau xfit mcm aku.. mmg hampir putus nafas naik tangga ni.. seriously.. and it is a long trail of tangga from there going to the dark caves.. believe me.. naik Batu Caves pun xsemput mcm ni...

After the turun naik tangga.. you will reach the first caves which is only lit up by your flashlights (eh.. did i mentioned that u have to bring one? hahaha.. u can rent from the Park HQ if u had forgotten to bring one). It is really dark in there.. so watch ur steps.. There are a few smaller caves down here too, but you wont even recognize it as they're all are connected.. Some places have lights that penetrated the holes on the ceiling of some of the caves.. Picture time!! Then after about 15 mins in the darkness there will be light again at the end of the caves.. Another resting place for me.. Thank god!

The last cave would be the Painting Cave which is around 10 mins from the resting hut.. In this cave, you will find .. what else.. paintings.. I tried to look & examine the paintings on the wall of the caves, alas, I cannot comprehend satu painting pun.. There are some death-ships (keranda looking like a sampan) in that area too. The place gave out an eerie aura for me.. Heeeee....

There's a rest area osso here.. Take some pics & basically that is the end of the journey. You will walk back from the way you came in to the park HQ. All in all its around 3 hours of caves exploring fun!!

Now, pat yourself on the back and say that I have conquered Niah.. or Niah had conquered u.. Haha! Till then.. Jya ne!

My trip to niah can be seen here..

Zalimnya manusia.... tidak bersyukurkah kita?

KUALA LUMPUR 30 Nov. – Zalim. Itu sahaja perkataan yang sesuai bagi insan yang melempar seorang bayi lelaki yang masih mempunyai tali pusat dari flat Projek Perumahan Rakyat (PPR), Pudu Ulu, Cheras di sini, hari ini.
Bayi itu ditemui mati dalam keadaan berlumuran darah. Kepalanya pecah.
Lebih menyayat hati, mayatnya dimasukkan ke dalam plastik sampah bersama kulit ayam dan sisa ikan.
Bayi berkulit cerah itu ditemui oleh tukang cuci flat berkenaan, Ros Hayati Tambi Ahmad, 44, kira-kira pukul 7.15 pagi ini.
Menurut jurucakap polis, berdasarkan kesan darah, mereka percaya bayi itu mati dalam tempoh dua hingga tiga jam sebelum mayatnya ditemui.
‘‘Pemeriksaan awal mendapati kepala bayi itu pecah dipercayai akibat dicampak daripada tingkat atas flat Blok B yang setinggi 17 tingkat.
‘‘Kami akan jalankan siasatan rapi dan menangkap orang yang bertanggungjawab membuang bayi itu.
‘‘Kes ini akan disiasat di bawah Seksyen 318 Kanun Keseksaan,’’ katanya ketika ditemui di tempat kejadian di sini, hari ini
Sementara itu, menurut Ros Hayati yang juga penduduk flat tersebut, dia terkejut sewaktu hendak membuang plastik sampah yang ditemuinya itu kerana mayat bayi yang dimaksudkan tiba-tiba terkeluar dan jatuh daripada dalam plastik berkenaan.
Katanya, kerana terlampau terkejut, dia terus lari daripada tempat terbabit sambil menjerit memanggil rakan-rakannya yang lain.
Ros Hayati pada mulanya menyangkakan mayat bayi itu adalah anak patung.
Bagaimanapun, ujar Ros Hayati, selepas rakan-rakannya membelek ‘anak patung’ itu dengan teliti, mereka terkejut apabila mendapati ia sebenarnya mayat seorang bayi lelaki.
‘‘Bayi itu dalam keadaan bogel dan terlungkup dalam sampah sementara di kepalanya pula ada kesan darah,’’ katanya.
Mayat bayi itu kemudian dibawa ke Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) untuk dibedah siasat.
Tiada tangkapan dibuat setakat ini.

i came across this news tis morning bile dtg ofis pg nih.. tgh2 nak punch kad ade lak sorang staf nih tunjuk tajuk news nih yg dihighlightkan lam paper utusan yg dia pegang nak kasik kat TKP (tim ketua pengarah aku daaa). dia kata ade masuk lam berita mlm smalam. so aku masuk2 jek bilik... trus online carik news nih kat lam utusan...

actually...aku rasa la kan.. semenjak bergelar mummy nih.. aku nih dah jadik makin sensetif kalo pape jek yg ade kene ngene gan baby ke.. dak kecik ke.. mungkin nih la yg dinamakan naluri keibuan yg ade lam diri seorang manusia yg digelar wanita. seriyes aku kata dulu aku tak mcm nih... dulu2 sbelom aku ade beby aku tak suke langsung dak kecik.. pd yg dah lama kenal aku.. mungkin tau sifat aku yg dulu nih. kalo dulu tgk beby org ke dak2 kecik ke.. mmg aku tadak perasaan langsung laa. takde pun rasa 'eeehhh kiut nye dak tu..', 'eh.. comelnye beby ko..'.in fact.. mase aku skolah rendah.. seingat aku la... penah ade sorang beby nih... aku pi tutup mulut ngan hidung dia sbb cam geram nyampah.. hahahahahahhahaha.... korang mesti kata aku gile kan.. tp seriyes mmg aku penah buat tu.. cam best jek dulu tgk beby tu tekapai2 nak nafas.. terukkan?!

but now.. evrything have changed.. the minute after beby aku di hand over kat aku mase lam labour room kat ampang puteri utk aku breastfeedkan.. terus perasaan aku terhadap makluk yg dinamakan bayi dan kanak2 berubah. itulah dia kuasa Allah yg maha Esa. Subhanallah.. sekeras2 hati aku terhadap insan2 kecil ni dulu terus jek jadik cair pada saat itu.. tak terkata laaa perasaan aku pd mase tu.. i think the same goes to kwn2 kita yg dah bergelar ibu skang nih kan... sedangkan aku yg dulu tak suke beby pun rase cam nih.. inikan lak korang2 yg mmg suke pd beby kan.. kan..

aku ingat lagik.. dulu mase sbelom kawen.. n lps kawen .. n mase ngandung... dah siap2 ckp ngan achem (laki aku kalo sesape yg tak kenal laa) 'nnt bile dah ade beby mesti syg lupe kat org.. asyik men ngan beby jek kan..'cenggitu la lebeh kurang conversation aku ngan achem. kengkonon nnt aku laaa akan kekurangan kasih syg sbb dia dah tak pedulik kat aku.. aku ckp camtu dulu sbb achem nih dilahirkan sbg manusia yg teramatlah suke kat beby ngan dak kecik.. but then.. bile dah beranak jek... things now went the other way around. hahahahahahha... sian kat achem.. skang nih dia lak buleh ckp kat aku mende yg aku ckp kat dia dulu. siap ngadu lagik kat beby wafa tu...

Alhamdulillah... aku amat lah bersyukur kat Allah sbb dikurniakan sekecil yg teramatlah comel dimata mummy dia. pd saat aku baca news kat atas tu.. korang pecaya tak yg ati aku jadik sayu sgt. rase nak nangis pun ade. seriyes tak tipu. skang nih tgh type pun still rasa sedeh lagik.. still rase cam nak nangis lagik. tak leh nak imagine camne laaa condition beby tu. sememangnye manusia yg melakukan mende nih mmg zalim. layakkah org2 spt nih dipanggil manusia? pd aku laa.. nak panggil binatang pun tak layak.. babi pun tau syg kat anak dia tau!!!!! org lain susah payah nak dpt beby. kuar duit puluh2 ribu nak dpt beby. pi treatment sana..pi treatment sini.. doa ari2 kat Tuhan nakkan beby. tp nape ade manusia yg Tuhan dah kasik beby.. tp nak buat mcm tu pd kurniaan Tuhan tu. pd aku la kan... kalo tanak sgt la beby tu.. kasik je la kat org yg nak. ade org sanggup baya beribu2 utk dptkan beby tu. kalo jahat sgt jual je la anak tu kat org yg nak. betul tak? beby tu berhak nak hidup tau!!

tu lah manusia zaman skang. kita nih hidup aman damai kat negara kita nih pun still ade yg zalim mcm nih. belom lagik kalo negara kita jadik tunggang langgang mcm kat tebing gaza tu ke. tatau la mcm mana kan kalo time tu...

terima kaseyy...

today as i was busy (errrr?) ym-ing with ummu and talked about stuffs, reunion n such, suddenly the thought suddenly crossed my mind. so i said it out loud to ummu (or rather typed it :P). then, later on the evening, buntat went online and i start discussing this matter to him. he came out with the blog url "majusempurna" and i add 96 for personal touch (ehem).

anyway, am planning to have many authors for this blog. anyone who wished to share something to all of us, may email me and give your email address so that i can invite you all. those who already have blogger account will be at advantage of course, hehehe.

am also planning to modified this template with yellow background with maroon here and there for more stj feels, but i can't promise you anything yet, so just sit back and visit often, ok?

am hoping that this project will not be abandoned as some of our projects in the pass (pray for me, hehehe). until then, take care u all, daaaa
