BUDU DAN BELACAN: busuk tapi sedap

Cinta Galaksi

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Anna Joe) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 07:50:00 +0000

A few months ago, my Blackberry Torch fell into the lubang jamban at college. If my BB could update it's BBM status, it would probably say, "Somebody ate durian today", or "It's dark in here", or "Hey, is that corn?". Disgustingly hilarious.

As it entered the deep dark hole, I could see it no more. It was hopeless. But I was okay. A little shocked that it happened, but I was okay. Shit happens. Pun intended. But really I was fine. It didn't bother me much. Only a little, cause of the photos and videos of Luqman that I have in there. Good thing I've a few of the nice ones uploaded on my Facebook. So not all is lost.

This happened I think not long after my post about the Samsung Galaxy Note. So, in my mind I already knew what new phone I wanted. And Alhamdulillah, after batting my pretty lashes, Pitt succumbed to my wishes and got me one. Thank you sayang. Not to forget my parents, since I always seek their permission first cause it does cost quite a bit, and they are like my financial and no nonsense advisers. Hehe.

So, had so much fun with the phone, let my friends play with it as well. Went to the Android Market to install apps and games. If the Samsung Galaxy Note was a guy, I'd marry him, that is if I wasn't already married.

This sweet romance only lasted less than a week, perhaps 3-4 days. It was a short honeymoon. That night I came back from a nikah ceremony, went with a friend. Was greedy that night and took back a bunch of cupcakes that were packed in boxes. Both my hands were full as I went out of the car towards the gate. I fumbled with the gate remote, and that was when, the Note slipped out of my hands smack down on the ground, cushioned by a wonderful layer of tar.

I picked it up and went inside. Went to the kitchen where Pitt was at to tell him that I dropped the phone. I thought the phone was fine, phones falling down to the ground happens all the time, and it turns out okay, so I thought. I flipped the cover to have a look, and to my horror... I saw the hugest crack on the screen. I cried, I sobbed, I seriously did. I felt so bad, so irresponsible, so, so so heartbroken. I've included the photo below.

Done using S Memo.

Below is a close up of the cracked screen.

The crack goes all the way down. Gila kan? The screen is extremely fragile, but the insides were all still intact, and the touch screen was still working as usual. Went to the Samsung Service Centre in Petaling Jaya to get it fixed. Took a week to repair. It costs RM810 to get the screen replaced as well as the side body because it was badly scratched as well. Got it back looking all brand new. Memang rabak poket. Haih. Can even buy a new phone with that money. But, sangat berbaloinya punn!

The Samsung Galaxy Note is the ultimate. Gaming on the Note is incredible. Browsing the net, reading/editing PDF's, Word Documents, Powerpoint, etc.. is a charm. Oh main game Sim Social dalam phone ni pon boleh. Basically, all the usual tasks on the computer can be done on the Note. Camera pon superb. Combine it with the photo editor or any other photo editing apps, you don't really need to carry around your digital camera anymore.

Here are some of the photos I've taken using this phone:

You can check out the rest at my Lightbox. So basically, memang tebabom lah ini pong. Berbaloi. I love it I love it I love it. Anyway sejak kejadian memang telefon ni jaga gila-gila. Hari tu gi funfair, naik ride Pirate Boat, ingat ke ride tu sememeh je, konon nak shoot video sambil naik ride tu. Sekali tengok laju dan tinggi woiiii. Serius kaki menggeletar. Haa, sebab ingat nak shoot video tu tak simpan lah tepon dalam poket, sekali kau, sebelah tangan pegang railing, sebelah lagi genggam telepon sekuat hati. Hahaha. Tulah pandai sangat namanya.

Di sini ada sesapa yang guna Samsung Galaxy Note jugak? Best kan? Sesapa rancang nak beli fon, saya sangat rekemen ini fon. It's really really really ahmaaazzziing. In my future entries, I will review the Android apps and games that I've been using with my Note. Ingat nak post dalam ni pasal game, tapi dah panjang pulak jadinya. So setop sini lah dulu. Bahbai.

p/s: Saya post sudah keputusan peraduan LIMA.LIMAPULUH

{ANNA}

Dan pemenang LIMA.LIMAPULUH adalah...

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Anna Joe) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 04:20:00 +0000

Assalamulaikum pembaca blog ini sekalian. Patik mohon ampun, beribu ribu ampun kepada kalian semua kerana terlalu lama sudah tertangguh keputusan peraduan LIMA.LIMAPULUH. Yelah dari tahun lepas kot. Waduh waduh. Semester ni agak tunggang-langgang. Banyak sangat benda nak buat, tapi tak terbuat termasuklah mengemaskinikan blog. Anna ni dahla cerewet bila nak buat post, tu yang tertangguh sampai ke la ni. Jadi, akhirnya setelah berkulat dan basi, saya nak mengumumkan keputusan.

Sebelum itu saya kongsi lima entri yang mendapat LIKES terbanyak.

1. farha hamzah (61 LIKES)

MENUNGGANG hati yang lara ibarat GUNTING dalam lipatan, sungguh pedih dan memilukan. andai kata, kau di ada di depn mata tatkali ni, sudah lama KAKI ini di mukamu beserta PINGGAN mangkuk melayang dari dapur. namun aku tetap bersabar kerna POKOK pangkalnya, kau masih suamiku!

2. aizurazu (39 LIKES)

hmm. kelakar gile tengok korang MENUNGGANG terbalikkan ayat dan perkataan kat sini. cerita merepek pon takpe, janji boleh buat KAKI blog semua ketawa. aku bukan blogger, tapi seronok hari2 tadah PINGGAN jadi blogwalker. Blog anna ni memang la makanan harian aku. Kalau tak dapat baca blog rasanya hidup macam POKOK tak berbunga, rimbun tanpa seri nampak tak bermaya. Selamat buat cerpen semua, jangan GUNTING dan tampal ye ;)

3. sitiamandarostam (37 LIKES)

Amanda,21. Dijumpai terperosok jauh ke hujung KAKI katilnya. Serpihan PINGGAN yang telah pecah, lebihan pizza semalam berserakan di bawah katilnya. Luka di tangan Amanda sekali pandang seakan ukiran sebatang POKOK. Sebelah tangannya tergenggam erat sebilah GUNTING kertas. Detektif Norman,28, cuba mengenal pasti raut wajah seorang lelaki yang sedang MENUNGGANG Amanda. Sama seperti gambar polaroid yang dijumpainya di atas katil, di dalam bilik Amanda.

4. nazmoe (16 LIKES)

I seorang mermaid. Bandar Atlantis ni memang cun. Tapi I jeles
jugak tengok dunia kat darat sebab:

1) Manusia semua rambut cantik. How to GUNTING rambut kat sini? Tak der Hairkunst, Crimpers, Monsoon ID, mamak barber pun takder!

2) Korang boleh MENUNGGANG kuda. We cannot. Kat dunia air ni
hanya ada kuda laut. I try duduk atas dorang. Terus penyek. Bila I dengar lagu Too Phat “Kuda ku lari gagah berani”, I stress. Kat sini hanya boleh nyanyi “Kuda lautku berenang alahai comelnya”.

3) I try berlakon cerita Hindustan hari tu. Kuch Kuch Mermaid
Hai! Tak best langsung. Macam mana nak menari dan menyanyi kat keliling POKOK? Where got pokok wan dalam air. Mak down
a bit.

4) Kitarang semua KAKI bangku sebab tak tahu main bola. Eh
sebenarnya kami tak tahu main bola bukan sebab kaki bangku, kami tak main bola sebab tak berkaki je sebenarnya. Kami hanya pandai main bola sua.. oh nevermind.

Well, walaupun begitu, at least kami tak perlu basuh PINGGAN lepas makan. :D

5. Samposmen (16 LIKES)

Ah San: hey macha! lain kali la GUNTING itu bil. ini PINGGAN kasi clear dulu ma.

Maple: manyak sory bos! amma appa you punya KAKI berdarah apa pasai?

Ah San: ini macam. wa tali MENUNGGANG itu moto. cilak*k. shakali itu POKOK tiba-tiba goyang.

Maple: ayoyo sebab goyang pon boleh darah ini macam kah?

Ah San: wa tatau. you pigi tanya itu lagu ma. itu halama. tanya sama pokok...apa sebab goyang...bla...bla...blaaa...

Maple: ?!@$%

Wah adik-adik sungguh kreatif nukilan masing-masing ya? Ai laik. Dan yang lelain tu pon sangat best okay. Memang tergelak cek duk baca. Jadi... seperti yang dimaklumkan saya akan memilih pemenang antara 5 nukilan yang mendapat LIKE terbanyak. Dan pemenangnya adalah *drumroll*:

Celcom Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 Inch la pulok.

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Anna Joe) — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 00:47:00 +0000

Man I've been busy. I've been wanting to update my blog for a while now, but haven't got the chance to. And now I do! Wee. Just a quick note before I proceed I will get to the contest results in a different post ya? Really sorry for the delay.

Moving on. So, so. I've been becoming a Samsung fan since I first got the Samsung Galaxy Tab . Having small hands I appreciate the size. Then recently got myself a Samsung Galaxy Note. Which is just perfect. Then, having to check out the specs for the latest tab, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 inch, man it's another baby I want. Like zeriously.

Honestly thinking of trading the older one for this hot stuff. It's thinner like, 8.6mm, lighter, 453g, runs on a 1.5GHz dual core processor, a beautiful 8.9" screen, and uses the Android 3,1 (Honeycomb). Bukan berus madu ye kawan-kawan. Ahahahahha.. sigh, lame joke. Anyhoo, the Android is really beginning to win my heart. Plus so many great apps and games of course to play around with.

Together with Celcom, you get seamless video streaming, a stable connection, indoor, outdoors, one the go, in the car, in the train, not sure bout submarines though. Aha. This tab can be a great tool of friendship. Yelah tengak lepak ngan sahabat handai, you are bound to go "Weh korang tengok tak video toot dekat YouTube hari tu, kelakar gila wehh.." Then your friends go "Alaaa, tak tengok lagi" Then you whip out your tab and go, hehehe, "Menggunakan Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 Inch dan Celcom, saya boleh tunjukkan anda" Then your friends go "Wow hebatnya." And everyone laughs together and be happily ever after. That or someone get's jealous. Hehe.

With Celcom you can get it as low as RM1,288. Here are the plans. Click for a larger view:

Besides this, you can opt for the smaller version, the Samsung Galaxy Tab (7") for as low as RM668 or if you like it big, the larger Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 for as low as RM1,468. So lots options to choose from! For more details, options, yada yada, head on over to www.celcom.my/smartphones.

Alrite, see you till my next post! Marilah kita bertabtab.

Tektok: Samsung Galaxy Note tu apa?

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Anna Joe) — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 15:30:00 +0000

Tektok tu apa? Tech talk. Ahak! Kelakar tak kelakar tak kelakar tak? Tak. Okay, so moving on. Di dalam dunia yang pesat membangun dari segi teknologi, kita sebagai manusia mengejar-ngejar untuk memastikan kita tidak ketinggalan. Media sosial seolah menjadi kewajipan yang tidak dapat kita hindari. Wah, macam buat karangan espiem je kan? Kelakar tak kelakar tak kelakar tak? Tak. Okay so moving on.

Anna sejak start class sem ni, sudah agak busy sudah. Tapi setiap hari, Anna akan cuba cari kesempatan tuk baca newspaper. Salah satu sebab ailaik reading the papers is because, suka tengok latest promotion of stuff, especially gadgets. Then sekali ternampaklah satu page besaq, berlatarbelakangkan warna biru, dari Celcom, Samsung Galaxy Note. Wah, apakah? I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab, my brother uses the Samsung Galaxy S, and it is awesome I tells ya. I used to have doubts with Android, sekali dah cuba pasti nak lagi.

Sem pertama Anna, ambik subjek Mass Media & Society. And there I learned the term 'media convergence', so if I were to define it it would be something like media convergence is the Samsung Galaxy Note. Like seriouzly. I say that because it combines the function of the laptop + MP3 player + camera + phone + gaming + notepad + sketchpad + e.t.c. = EVERYTHING!

And the screen size is 5.3 inches with a resolution of 800 x 1280 pixels yo. It's huge for that extra satisfaction. No need to be squinting your eyes to view the screen, especially when browsing the internet. Yet, not overly huge, that you still have room for privacy in public places. I'm pretty sure that Goldilocks would love this, because the size is just right! Tak pun macam lagu sapa tu, "yang sedang-sedang aja.. yang penting dia setia".

It's great for working, business peeps and students as well. Can write notes, organize your schedule and activities, like, okay "next week got meeting - remember to get MC". Ahaha eh don't la laiddat. You should instead write, "next week got meeting - I'm so excited!". Hahaha. And for the students, something like "Assignment dah buat ke belum? Caner nak 4 flat canni?". Yeah, that's the way ahuh.

And talking about flat. Look at this:

Super sleek and slim just like me.

It's great for artists, for those who love to doodle. Sketching, drawing memang best. Kalau tak hebat lukih pon takpe. You can use it to play win lose and draw with your mates. The uglier your drawing, the more challenging it is. Hehe.

You no longer need to use paper and pen or pencil or marker. Ink doesn't run out using the S Pen Stylus. Save the trees. No need to go through the hassle of scanning to post it online. Save your sketch and you can immediately share em on facebook, twitter or wherever your heart desires. What more can you ask for?

I can go on and on and on and on how awesome the Samsung Galaxy Note is. It's really out of this world, get it, get it? 'Galaxy' - 'out of this world'? Haaa yeah I'm cool like that. So now that I've enticed you, how much lah weh?

You can get it as low as RM 1,368 with Celcom Exec! They have a 12 month and 18 month contract.

Definitely value for money. Specially with all the great features. Worth your moolah. And Celcom undoubtedly has the widest network coverage and stability, something I definitely look forward to especially when I'm using the internet or simply to make a phone call.

For more details. Head on over to: http://www.celcom.com.my/smartphones

FAILURE has slapped me in the face

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Anna Joe) — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 07:50:00 +0000

So, Anna baru je lepas jumpa lecturer Critical Reading Skills, subject yang dapat incomplete tu. Oh sekarang wa baru tau awat dapat status 'Incomplete', sebab policy college bila tak datang final ekjem, result takleh dikira lagi, sebab mungkin ada valid reason tak datang ekjem, sakit ke etc.. so nanti dah bukak skoloh, boleh sit tuk replacement paper pada satu hari yang ditetapkan. Dan baru tau ekjem tu last Saturday. Dan lepas tu result barulah dikira masuk.

So uhh, obviously memang FAIL lah paper tu. Huahauhauahua. Pointer turun sudah, kira-kira rasanya dapat dalam 2.6, tapi CGPA, still above 3.0. Rasanyalah kalau tak silap kiraannya. Kalau benar Alhamdulillah, kalau tak, pon takpa.. because it's not the end. Saya akan usahakan kembali nak naikkan pointer. Dan hopefully dapatlah grad dengan CGPA above 3.5. Tapi, I don't want to stress myself out to achieve that.. I will just do the best I can. Dan buang tabiat lama, seperti melengah-lengahkan kerja.

And to clarify things, korang yang duk tak puas hati pasal aku duk citer IPTS ni longgar, duk kata aku membusukkan nama IPTS or IPTA, I was talking bout my own irresponsible attitude and issues, and only revealing the TRUTH about how I've experienced studying both in an IPTA and IPTS, please go suck an egg. Even if IPTS ni tak sestrict IPTA it does not make a graduate from IPTS any less than one from a well recognized IPTA. You may say I don't have the right to talk about IPTS or IPTA, yelah dahla I ni slacker, grad pon belum, dah tua bangka, etc, tak kerja lagi, tak dapat gaji starting lebih RM3k macam somebody tu.. I'm just stating how the different environment is in an IPTA or an IPTS. Memang ada bezanya. Sama macam kerja gomen, kerja private, ada bezanya kan, ada yang best ada yang tak best.

Tapi tak kisahlah, belajar mana pon, even setakat SPM, banyak cara untuk berjaya dalam hidup, banyak cara kita menimba ilmu. Higher institution ni cuma ada kelebihan, formaliti untuk kerja. Nak cari rezeki tu pelbagai cara boleh, tapi dengan adanya sijil jadi macam batu loncatan, mudah sket lah. Again it depends on what you plan to do in your life. Yang penting, usaha, jangan malas. Kalau malas jadiklah macam haku ni, dah tua baru nak sedar diri kan. But it's never too late selagi nyawa masih ada. I made a mistake, uh let me correct that, mistakes with an 's', lots of it, and now I regret it, and I want to fix things and make it right.

Forgive me if my entries about my studies are annoying or seem demeaning, I takda niat langsung nak memburukkan or membusukkan mana-mana institusi pengajian, to me tempat pengajian tempat yang sangatlah 'suci', tempat kita mencari ilmu.. cuma kita diri kita sendiri ni ha yang tak pandai nak hargai.. But now I do, I respect this place, and from now on will try my best to make the best out of it. Ibarat kekasih hati yang harus dibelai dan dicintai. Ilebiu KLIUC. Mwahs mwahs.

Sekali semester ni dapat 4 flat. Pergh.

Anasir hitam.

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Anna Joe) — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 14:00:00 +0000

Apologies if my previous entry about IPTS/IPTA tak tepat. I'm not saying that IPTS ni tak strict langsung, but comparatively based on my own experience, dari UIA ke LKW ke KLIUC, I can see the difference, how things are done. Dan juga dari pengalaman ayah yang mengajar dia serata IPTA dan IPTS, pon kata IPTS ni rules dia tak sebegitu ketat berbanding dengan IPTA.

But, come to think of it. Rasanya bukan bergantung pada tempat belajar, tetapi budi bicara lecturer itu sendiri. And this is why, sangat sangat penting, bila ada masalah dengan studies, assignment, tak paham ke apa, terus jumpa lecturer. I think this is why I was 'saved' last semester for my Critical Reading Skills, despite not attending the finals and submitting assignments. Sebab, Anna jumpa, confront terus dengan lecturer to, and told him the problems I've been facing.

I've mentioned this before in my other entries. Masalah yang Anna hadapi ni, agak serius. Masa Anna form 5 di MRSM Muar, I was extremely stressed, and I nak sangat sengaja jatuh sakit so I can go home and take a break. What did I do? Telan lebih dari 10 biji panadol sekaligus. Tak lama lepas tu, terus I start muntah-muntah. And I wouldn't stop puking. Akhirnya, dapat cuti seminggu, terus masuk hospital.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE: Thanks to the comment by 'Young fan' in this entry "Be careful of what you type, you are giving ideas to your young fans who are trying to find ways to skip school that are hazardous to their health"

DO NOT, DO NOT AT ALL ATTEMPT WHAT I DID. Swallowing down that much Panadol COULD HAVE GOTTEN MYSELF KILLED. I was stupid. VERY STUPID. I am lucky to come out alive. I was in the hospital for a whole week. Which totally messed up my appetite for a long while before I got back to normal. I'm sharing my story not to give ideas, but just to share my history which I regret doing. Skipping school is bad enough, hurting yourself is not the solution. It only makes things worse. I assume my readers are smart enough not to be misguided by my bad choices in life.

Okay moving on. Then, in UIA, main campus. Satu sem tu rasa terlalu stressed, dah nak final exams ni, dah ni.. I just couldn't handle it, jumpa counselor, doctor, dan dapat letter of excuse, dan sem tu tak dikira. I got the excuse atas sebab Insomnia.

Then when UIA didn't work out. Di Lim Kok Wing. Same problem. Stressed, couldn't do a thing. Jumpa psychologist, was diagnosed with something called Psychomotor Retardation. Dan dapat juga break dari semester tu. I took a very long break, and that's when I decided to open up the studio.

But then, that didn't work out too. Duit keluar banyak, tapi tak dapat untung. My fault, sebab I couldn't do work on time, similar problem dengan studies. Dengan kerja clients yang tertangguh. Dan masih ada yang tertangguh. I was supposed to work with Ho Yuhang to do his Rain Dog promotional material, also patut buat poster movie yang tak jadi buat tu Dukun. And the latest dengan Kabir Bhatia, di mana I terus give up buat poster Nur Kasih walhal 80% dah complete.

In the end, I decided to close down the studio, and try my best to complete my studies. Sekarang ni, I cuba bayangkan all that problems I've been having, is just in my mind, and I can fight it. I must fight it, I must be strong. Because this is my life, and for my family, for my son.

And not long ago, I found out a very very very surprising news. Something if any one else of you found out bila dah besar panjang ni, akan rasa sangat terkejut, and only thought it happens in the movies. And it happened to me. But it's very personal, so this one I shall keep it discreet.

So I am trying to be strong, tapi terlalu mudah jatuh, like last semester. But I didn't want history to repeat itself, jadi I terus confront lecturer, told them all my problems. And that is why I despite not submitting assignments and not attending the final for that one paper, the lecturer dengan budi bicaranya understands what I've been going through, and is giving me a chance. Dan sebab tu dapat status 'INCOMPLETE' instead of 'F'. Tinggal nak jumpa dia ni to ask what needs to be done to complete the course and get a grade.

Haih, I dah serik. I don't want my 'problems' to become an excuse to get free tickets. I really want to fight this and get through this, and the only way is to get rid of my problems is to act, to believe and to actually be strong. Perlu lebih mendekatkan diri pada Tuhan. Dan bukan melayan hasutan anasir hitam dalam diri.

The Journey Begins!

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Anna Joe) — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 10:50:00 +0000

PERHATIAN DAH BACA ENTRI NI, SILA BACA ENTRI SUSULAN 'ANASIR HITAM'.

So akhirnya dah register dah subjek tuk sem ni. Sem 3 ni adalah sem yang panjang, ambik 7 subjek, iaitu:

Paling excited French lah opkos. Haha. Tapi melihat subjek ni nampak macam banyak gila je assignments yang perlu submit. So dari awal kena buat, no more tangguh-tangguh. Weh serik weh. Sib baik IPTS lecturer tak strict, kalau kat UIA dulu, buatlah macam sem lepas, gerenti kena repeat satu sem! Haha.

Since I'm on the topic of IPTA/IPTS. Check out this comment I got in my previous entry:

So apa pendapat korang? Adakah my entri tu memburukkan reputatasi lecturer dan kolej? Ntahla, I personally don't think so. Memang dah diketahui yang IPTS agak longgar dengan rules dia. And having been to an IPTA previously, kat UIA, serious memang berbeza caranya. Kat IPTA, buatlah main-main macam tu, gerenti akan tiong. Teringat dulu, terlewat masuk kelas Bahasa Arab, Ustaz tu kunci pintu tak bagi masuk. Huhh, stress wo. Assignment lambat dari due date, sorry naik lorry lah. Tak datang 3 kali ke kelas, woosh sampai surat ke rumah untuk tatapan parents. Kat IPTS, uhh.. cakap je buat macam tu, tapi tengok rilek je.

Bagi Anna, mana saja kita belajar, doesn't really make a huge difference, apa yang membezakan adalah pembawakan diri, dan mind set kita. The knowledge that we receive, and how we plan on making use of it.

Sering Anna dengar bila bertanya "Eh u study mana dulu", I kat kolej ____ JE. Je? Kenapa 'je'? So, mungkinlah kolej korang belajar tu tak sevavavoom tempat lain, tapi takkan korang langsung tak dapat ilmu sepanjang korang jadi student sana? Bagi Anna, those yang rasa 'ah aku tak belajar apa pon', are those yang tak tahu nak nilai dan absorb apa yang lecturer bagi. Yes, mungkin ada lecturer yang tak berapa hebat dari segi penyampaian, tapi syllabus kan ada? So, buatlah research sendiri. Make the effort to seek the knowledge. Banyak sangat sumber yang tersedia, lagi-lagi dengan jaman internet ni. Janganla takat pandai cari torrent je tuk download.

In my opinion la kan, kelonggaran IPTS memberi peluang pada pelajar yang tak dapat masuk IPTA, sama ada sebab memang nak masuk sana, atau result tak cukup ummpphhh, or simply because tak ada rezeki, dapatlah peluang untuk belajar dan graduate dan dapatkan kerja. Cuba kalau takda IPTS.. Nak campak ke mana? Mungkin menjadi penanam anggur yang berjaya.

Dari pengalaman nakalku, memang mudah untuk leka dan abuse kelonggaran di kolej prebet. Masa kat Lim Kok Wing dulu lagilah, dengan bayaran yuran yang sangatlah tidak murah, rules pon sangatlah longgar. Rilek tak masuk kelas, hantar esemen lambat dari due date pon boleh pass. It's our own choice to be a responsible student.

But if you play play it will have it's consequences. Yang belajar memain nilah yang akan terkial-kial dan struggle masa kerja nanti. Grad pon lambat. Tengok jelah Anna. Haih. Sedar atau tidak, apa yang kita belajar tu ada gunanya. Kalau duk kata "alah mana belajar apa pon kat sana..". That's your ego talking. Memanglah, orang kata time kerja tulah masa kita betul-betul belajar. But takkanlah satu habuk pon tak dapat masa belajar dulu. Itu maksudnya kita sendiri yang tak pandai nak hargai apa yang diajar. Kalau takat niat belajar nak dapatkan segulung kertas, memanglah tak belajar apa, cuba niat kita untuk dapatkan ilmu. Insya'Allah we will gain something.

So this is really a reminder for myself, thanks to lala for motivating me to not take things for granted. Walaupun cara IPTS ni lebih 'mudah', tak bermaksud Anna pon perlu ambil mudah. And despite the flexibility of studying in private colleges, isn't necessarily a bad thing. Teringat cerita 3 Idiots, yang mana sorang student tu bunuh diri sebab Dean dia terlalu strict, and in fact such cases have happened in real life.

Masa Anna dulu kat IPTA terlewat 5 minit je dah rasa malas nak masuk kelas, sebab sama ada lecturer tak bagi masuk, atau kalau masuk kena marah, terus tak semangat nak masuk, rugi dah kat situ. Kat kolej ni pulak, terlewat pon takpa, lecturer okay, jadi nak ke kelas pon walaupun terlewat tapi masih semangat nak belajar. Tapi tak perlulah jadi alasan nak lewat ke kelas kan. Hehe. So you see, IPTA or IPTS, both has its pros and cons. Pepandai kitalah nak handle macam mana.

As for me, I'm very grateful and happy to be at KLIUC. Baru habis 2 sem and I've already learnt a lot. Not only study wise, but I've discovered myself as well. And especially thank you to the lecturers for being so understanding and lenient. Membuatkan saya rasa lagi bersemangat nak belajar dengan lebih rajin. Hiyah!

Sudah tidak sabar untuk mulakan sem yang baru. Au revoir!

{ANNA}

Hampir putus asa.

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Anna Joe) — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 08:29:00 +0000

Okay, result sem lepas dah dapat. Sebelum tu, mari saya tunjukkan progres pembelajaran saya mengikut subjek.

BASIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Yang ni boleh tahan, sebab semua assignment adalah group work. Jadi dapatlah submit semua assignment, walaupun yang last tu lewat gila, sib baik lecturer baik hati terima lagi. Subjek ni buat lawatan ke Cameron Highlands pulop tu. Ailaik.

These are my best buddies from KLIUC. Marina yang tepi, Nasya and me opkos. Sangat bersyukur dapat kawan macam ni, memang masyuk gila-gila. Despite perbezaan umur ketiga-tiga. Saya yang paling muda *batuk*. Gambar masa pi lawatan ke Cameron Highlands. Nanti KALAU rajin, saya post gambar lain masa kat sana. Okay subjek berikutnya.

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES & ETHICAL ISSUES IN ADVERTISING

Secara pendeknya kami panggil Advertising Ethics. Subjek ni SATU sahaja assignment yang sempat submit. Lagi lima, tak. Ntahla, walhal takdalah susah mana, tapi perangai/penyakit lama kembali, jadi blur dan sangat-sangat blank tak tau nak buat apa walaupun tengok contoh yang member buat. This is the same problem I have been having, bila tang assignment je jadi macam ni.

RADIO ADVERTISING

Yang ni group assignment je hantar, group skali ngan depa ni Marina & Nasya. Kena buat satu sample radio advert. Assignment individual satu pon tak hantar. Apa masalah? Same problem, Blur Bin Blank.

PENGAJIAN ISLAM

Ni Alhamdulillah okay, presentation buat, assignment hantar, itupun dengan bantuan si suami. Kalau Pitt tak tolong, rasanya tak terhantar jugak. Thank you sayang. Tapi, satu kuiz Anna tak pi buat. So hilang 10 markah kat situ untuk carry marks.

CRITICAL READING SKILLS

Okay yang ni memang critical. Satu assignment pon tak submit, dan hanya buat satu kuiz, dan, final exam tak pergi pon. Dalam hati memang subjek ni dah give up dan rancang untuk repeat. Memang keputusan yang tak patut, tapi in my situation, rasa tertekan yang amat sangat, rasa memang cannot go. Walhal Anna dah jumpa pon lecturer ni bagitau problem, dapatlah extension, tapi last-last tak dapat buat jugak. Memang otak tak berjalan langsung. Stress yang amat.

Ada tulis tentang subjek ni dalam entri "Forced to read" dan "Tak Cukup Asah"

HUMAN COMMUNICATION

One of my favorite subjects. Unfortunately, my mind wasn't quite there this sem. Jadi carry mark pon tak seberapa, mostly because satu assignment tak submit, dan tak score untuk kuiz. Study pon tak berapa nak masuk. Tapi yang bestnya, boleh pulak dapat highest tuk individual presentation. Haha, group presentation ngan Marina & Nasya pon dapat highest. Tang presentation memang ailaik. Bila buat assignment tu yang serius terple'ot.

So, semua subjek kecuali Critical Reading Skills Anna attend final exams. Ikutkan hati memang nak totally give up dan quit. Duk rumah jadi fulltime mommy. Memang satu option yang nak sangat di ambil, siap set kat otak lagi. Tapi dengan sokongan family, rakan di sekeliling, tabahkan hati dan buat jugak ekjem. Hari terakhir exam, member tanya, lega tak? Terus-terang Anna cakap "Tak, I'm not happy at all". Haha. Sebab rasa macam akan GAGAL. Akan dapat pointer yang sangat teruk. Yelah, imagine lah dengan banyak assignments tak hantar semua. Carry marks definitely less than half, otak duk pikir FAIL FAIL FAIL.

Then.. dah cuti hampir dua minggu, dapat tau results:

Terkejut beruk okay? Yang Critical Reading Skills tu I for INCOMPLETE. So sekarang ni tak dimasukkan dalam GPA lagi, maksudnya masih ada can untuk submit assignment atau ambik exam. Ya Allah, baiknya lecturer tu. Sobs. So esok akan pi jumpa dia dan settle macam mana.

Serius tak sangka dapat result macam ni. A atau B tiada dalam otak. Rasa dapat C je semua atau pun F terus. Alhamdulillah tak. Jadi segan rasanya dengan Tuhan kerana bukannya akrab dengan-Nya. Solat terkontang-kanting. Haih...

Dah serik. Aku betul-betul nak berubah kali ni. No more last minute work. Dan tiada istilah malas atau, hangat-hangat tahi ayam. Ada je masalah, jangan tangguh, dan terus jumpa lecturer. Hubungan dengan Tuhan harus dibaiki.

Congrats to Nasya and Marina, for both scoring above 3.7!! Gila best! As for me, sayang.. sebab perangai busuk sendiri, pointer jatuh dari 3.8. Rugi, rugi.. Ingat bolehlah maintain. Nak sangat grad first class honors. Huh angan-angan. Sempat lagi kot nak kejar. Paling komen second class upper ke. Perghhh.

Apa-apa pon perangai mesti diubah. Dari benda-benda basic seperti, bilik kena kemas, tidur kena awal, bangun pon awal, kurangkan masa berinternet, rajin beribadah, makan makanan berkhasiat, rajin bersenam dan jangan malas mandi.

Conclusion is, even when you feel that there is no hope, no matter how weak you feel, never ever give up. Jadilah seperti katak di bawah ni. Dah nak mati ditelan bangau, dia masih menggunakan segala kudrat yang ada lalu mencekik bangau itu. {ANNA}

WIR CAMPAIGN: Say what? Cover the butt.

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Anna Joe) — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 11:39:00 +0000

Aku sendiri ada pakai macam ni. Kekadang baju tu ke singkat sangat sampai menampakkan bok bok. Kalau seluar tu longgar takpa gak, ni seluar dahla sendat. Nampak ler seketul kiri dan kanan. Oh indahnya pemandangan, bukit bukau yang nan indah. Hehe.

Macam agak bercanggah dengan konsep kita hendak menutup aurat kan. Atas dah cover baik punya, bawah pulak yang terjojol. Kalau seluar yang sangat lebar dan longgar atau long skirt, takpalah nak tuck in. Dan kalau nak tuck in jugak, pandai-pandailah kita cuba cover, pakai cardigan ka, jacket ka, apa-apa lah yang boleh menutup vontot tu.

Maafkan Anna kalau ada menyinggung sesapa. Ni teguran tuk diri sendiri juga. Banyak lagi yang tak betulnya, jadi harap-harap kita dapat membetulkan mana yang tak betul tu together-gether. Saling mingingati kay. Dan seperti biasa, jika anda ingin sebarkan, sangatlah dia alu-alukan. Nak print pass kat orang, tempek kat kampus ke mana-mana, pon boleh. Free of charge.

So let's do this. Say what? Cover the butt.

Berhati-hatilah di tandas cangkung (gambar 18SG)

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Anna Joe) — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 04:31:00 +0000

Errgghh. Gambar sengaja buh kecik sebab agak 'gore', boleh klik kalau nak besarkan.This happened to my hubby's cousin Aiman. He's 12 years old. What happen was that he was trying to wear his pants, when his foot slipped into the tandas cangkung.

Ni berlaku time dia kat Sekolah Agama, so sebab tu tak pakai kasut. Cut ni nampak sangat dalam, tapi sib baik tak kena tulang or any main arteries. Bawak gi spital dan jahit.

Dah banyak kali Anna dengar kes kaki masuk dalam lubang tandas cangkung, tergelincir sebab licin. Ada pernah terbaca dalam paper, kat sekolah, siap patah kaki budak tu. Haish. Please be careful korang, dan pesanlah kat adik-adik, sedara, anak-anak, yang kecil-kecil ni semua to be very very very careful. Huhh. Serius masa mula-mula tengok gambar ni ingat gambar mana tah cilok dari internet. Rupanya ku kenal pemilik kaki ni. Get well soon Aiman!

Demons.

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Anna Joe) — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 12:28:00 +0000

The toughest battle in life is a battle to fight the demons within myself. These demons have been with me for years and years. I am weak. I have fallen. I have failed time and again. I get up, trying to fight back, trying to survive, then out of nowhere the demons attack me, and I fall down again. I almost feel that I'm losing this battle, I feel too weak to get back up. I tremble as I try to pick myself up from the ground..

Dear readers, if you have been following my tweets, you'd prolly read about my situation right now with my studies. Not good. My past problems, where I'm struck numb when doing assignments is back. Totally frozen. Even the simplest task of summarizing a text I find it extremely difficult to do. So, my assignments kept piling up, way pass it's due date. And till today, the final day before the finals, I still have yet to submit them. I've only managed to write one paragraph of one of the assignments. I have 9 to complete.

Luck is somewhat on my side though, I've contacted some of the lecturers, and they've given me the chance to submit it next week. Now all I have to do is do. But to do is what I have been not been able to do. This is my third uni/college, thinking that it would be different this time. But I was wrong, it's the same ol same ol.

I even have thought of just quitting. Be a full time mom. But, education is important. Knowledge is power. I'm not studying again just for the degree. I want the knowledge. I want to be certified that I have such knowledge, so, if needed, I am qualified to get a good job, have a decent pay, to pitch in and support my family. Of course, traditionally, the husband should be the one out there working to get money for the family, and the wife/mother should stay at home and take care of the kids.

But, in this world today, it's quite impossible to support a living relying just on one source of income. Things are just ridiculously expensive. And, God forbid, that if something happens, I have a something to fall back to and to support myself. Again, there are many many ways to gain income. But with a that scroll of paper it just might help make things a little bit easier later in life.

I want this so bad. Even if I have to crawl on my knees. I will stab the demons right in the heart. I shall fight this till the end. And win this battle. It shall be a victorious one.

Tekanan kian terasa + FotoRaduan™

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Anna Joe) — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 10:39:00 +0000

Tak Cukup Asah

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Anna Joe) — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 17:17:00 +0000

Dah lama aku tak berblog. Perangai lama dah serang kembali. Nampak gayanya aku mungkin tak dapat nak maintain GPA seperti sem pertama aku. Haih. Kecewa dengan diri sendiri. Minggu depan minggu terakhir kelas, kemudian study week, lepas tu ekjem.

I have a few assignments for different subjects that are pass due. I've already met up with one of the lecturers and brought up my issues. I thought after letting it out, I'd be motivated and can work things out. But nope, it's remaining stagnant. I'd really wanna get 3.5 above, but, seems unlikely at this rate. I don't know if I can even score above 3.0. Yeeks.

Trying my best to be positive, calm, and be focused. Being focused, is the hardest to do. I think I put too much unnecessary stress on myself. Worried about the future, the past, when instead I should be dealing with the now. This is only my second semester. I know it's not too late, but.. at this point I'm just really really disappointed for not being consistent, especially my first semester was great. It should have motivated me enough to keep it up.

I've been blaming the external factors for my deterioration this semester. One holiday after another. It kind of stumps my momentum. Makes me lazy when I've too many breaks in between. The previous semester it was all crazy and in a rush since it was only a short semester. Now, thinking I've a longer time, I tend to drag things to the very last minute, then I panic, lose focus, and end up being lost.

Remember my 'Forced to read' entry? The presentation is tomorrow. And I've done nothing. I doubt that I'll be able to prepare something in time. Sigh.. that entry was weeks ago, more than enough time to get it done. I'm really sick of this attitude of mine. Hmmfftth. Here's a little something I wrote during my moment of self disgust.

"Life. This road is a slippery one. I keep on slipping off it. It hurts each time I fall. I bleed, I bruise, I heal, I've scars. But I never really do learn from it. I need better soles to have a better grip because one day I just might slip, fall down, bump my head, and never get up again."

With that, I shall end this post. I've actually have a number of entries drafted that I've been wanting to post. But I will have to put those on hold till the end of this semester. It just doesn't feel right to be writing in my blog when I should be doing my assignments instead. Err.. just like what I'm doing now. Oh the guilt! Hehe. So uh okay bye.

Tidur dengan pocong.

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Anna Joe) — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 13:55:00 +0000

Sempena entri Gambar hantu ke? #001 apa kata kita kongsi cerita hantu. Meh sini I nak kongsi cerita, yang rasa macam pernah cerita sebelum ni tapi aku cerita je lah sebab tengah stress jadi nak hilangkan stress aku pun nak cerita lah pasal cerita hantu yang bukan rekaan.

Ni terjadi masa Anna kat MRSM Muar dulu. Masa tu weekend rasanya. Tidur terlajak dari petang, terlepas Maghrib sampai lah time lights off. Iaitu dalam pukul 11pm. Tengah duk kepala weng sebab tidur lama sangat, dalam keadaan separuh sedar, tiba-tiba aku rasa ada orang menghempaskan badan dia atas tilam. Masa tu aku duk tidur menghadap divider, jadi orang tu landing baik kat kawasan tilam yang kosong. Bajet roomate ke member ke yang tidur kat sebelah.

Jadi aku macam nak toleh tengok siapa, tapi aku rasa lain macam. Aku hanya cuba lihat dari hujung mata, bak kata mat salleh, from the corner of my eyes. Dan alangkah haru birunya aku bila aku nampak sekujur susuk berwarna putih. Aku sempat pikir, eh tapi aku tak ada bantal peluk. Huhhh, lepas tu yang paling best, ialah bila aku dapat rasa nafasnya yang panas betul-betul di belakang leher aku, dan, bunyinya "hugghhh, hugggggghh" setiap kali nafas dihembus di belakang leher aku. Deyum.

Aku tengok lagi sekali dengan hujung mata, seolah-olah dia nak peluk aku. Then aku dah macam, baca la segala apa ayat yang terlintas kat kepala. Badan memang dah kejung dan kaku, aku tak boleh nak gerak. Last-last dengan kekuatan yang aku ada, aku pon depangkan tangan, dan terus susuk putih bernafas panas tu hilang. Aku tengok ketiga-tiga roomate aku semua nyenyak tidur.

Dah gelabah dah ni. Aku nak kejut junior aku, tak sampai hati, jadi aku pon selit je tidur sekali kat katil dia Pagi tu baru aku cerita. Dia pelik awat aku duk selit kat katil dia. Terus malam tu kami pakat baca Yassin. Huhh, lepas tu dah takmo dah tidur terlajak-lajak ni. Tak pasal-pasal ada yang tak diundang tumpang tidur sekatil.

Sebenarnya, dulu sebelum aku kahwin aku selalu ada rasa ada sesuatu yang tidur dekat sebelah bila aku tidur sorang-sorang. Katil aku queen size, then tengah duk tidur tu, rasa macam ada orang duk naik atas katil, boleh rasa tilam tu terbenam sikit-sikit mendekati aku. Kalau dalam movie, konon boleh nampak kesan terbenam tu. Tapi sebab aku dalam keadaan lalok, selalu rasa tu hanya bayangan semata-mata.

Ada satu insiden, tengah tidur, aku dengar suara yang sangat garau yang cakap "HANA BOLEH SAYA MASUK??", suara tu bergema, seolah-olah pakai Dolby surround sound dan aku siap lihat satu bilik bergegar. Tapi dalam keadaan kabur. Aku still rasa aku imagine je kot, so aku sambung tidur, sekali rasa lagi ada orang naik atas tilam tu, terus aku bengang, bangun, hentak kaki di atas lantai sambil menjerit, "BOLEH TAK JANGAN KACAU AKU???!!". Terus aku turun bawah tidur kat bilik mak. Masa tu aku ngantuk dan letih sangat, terus dari rasa seram jadi bengang.

Bila pikir-pikir balik, rasa semua tu fantasi je. Tapi sesungguhnya tak dapat disangkal wujudnya makhluk-makhluk lain, jin dan syaitan. So ada possibility it did actually happen back then. Sejak kahwin dah tak kena kacau lagi dah, Alhamdulillah.

Ada sesapa nak kongsi pengalaman korang sendiri? Best woo dengar citer-citer hantu. Lepas tu mulalah nak tidur malam pon takut, nak pi kencing malam pon takut. Huggggghhhhh hugggggh.

Oh dan aku dapat tau dari member yang bapanya boleh lihat makhluk alam ghaib, bunyi 'huggh hugggh' tu sememangnya trademark pocong. Erk! Okbai. Selamat tidur korang.

PETKNODE's "Good Care" lah sangat.

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Anna Joe) — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 20:20:00 +0000

I'm just highlighting parts of PETKNODE's info on their website (cached) which I find repulsive after reading what has happened.

Q: What else does my cat get when boarded at your boarding centre?

Your cat will be monitored by our dedicated and experienced staff 24 hours per day. So you can have our assurance that your cat is always around us as your assigned caretaker. Our boarding centre is also equipped with surveillance camera for additional security purposes. We also have 3 units of air purifier installed for additional air circulation and to kill germs and bacteria and we are using germicidal bulbs for double protection to kill viruses.

- Where's the recording from the surveillance camera? Bak la kasi tengok. To kill germs and bacteria? THREE air purifiers, germicidal bulbs, double protection to kill viruses??? How about staying there 24 hours like you said and not have any of the pets under your care not killed!! Letak 100 air purifier, kalau tinggal takda makan minum pon tak guna la bodohhhhh.

Q: What is your opening hour?

Our center operates 24/7 and we accept customers for admission or collection from 11AM until 8PM daily.

- Then why were the shutters down, why did the people have to 'pecah masuk' if it's opened 24/7? Check out video below if you haven't:

Q: What will happen with the uncollected cats?

We are very serious when it comes to abandonment cases. If it happens that you refuse to collect your cat two weeks after the agreed end date of boarding service agreement and no contact has been received from you, we will send the cat to your home address. If you refuse to accept, we shall reserve the right with any applicable law to seek for legal advice for further actions. Please keep in mind that we STRONGLY DISAGREE with this irresponsible act and you will be held liable for any legal costs that might be imposed to you.

- HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah right. Who are you to talk about being irresponsible?

OUR GOOD CARE
The caretaker is always around

Why leaving your cat in a boarding cattery whose owner spends the holiday too? We spend the holiday with your cat. With us, your cat will never be left unattended, Guaranteed!

Haih. This is just so heartbreaking, dah tak tau nak kata apa. Tengok gambar ish, yang kurus keding, and the photos of the baby kittens yang mati, ish sedih weh. How can the owners let this happen? And what the hell were they thinking? Ingat orang tak akan find out ke? I heard 16 cats died.. :(((

To those who went to rescue the poor furballs, and yang adopt tu, you have my utmost respect. It's good to know Malaysian's do care and have taken prompt action.

With this, I'm proud that a friend I know, the talented Najib Arttech has voluntered to adopt one of the cats there. Here's a photo of the cat the Najib adopted!

Photo from his FB. Female cat. Katanya mata dia sakit sebelah, so he's gonna bring her to the vet tomorrow. Terima kasih dude, kau dahla talented, baik hati pulak tu. Ingat dah tak mampu nak kagum lagi. Huh, bangga mokcik.

And to the owners, may you be punished for the cruelty you have committed. Congratulations for being the 2 most hated men in Malaysia right now.

Video of Steve Jobs in 1984

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Anna Joe) — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 23:28:00 +0000

Young & not so young Steve Jobs posing with his babies. Hehe.

Saw this video shared in my Twitter timeline. Meremang bulu roma tengok. Mainly because of how Apple has changed the way we live this day.

I'm not sadden by Steve Jobs resignation, but more of his reasons, mainly due to his health issues. What really makes me sad is that, reading online articles, people are worried about Apple's future, shares dropping down, tech issues, rather than his health issues. Some articles don't even mention about him battling pancreatic cancer.

However, I believe Steve Jobs himself being a man of success doesn't focus on his illness, so not surprised that there are those who didn't even know he has cancer. It's not an excuse for him. He just keeps on working hard and passionately. Kita ni, sakit sket, pening ke, demam ke, mulalah tak larat nak pi kelas, nak buat kerja, etc.. Haish. Malu weh sket kat Steve Jobs ni!

2007 & 2008.

He has done so much already. He deserves this break and rest. I wouldn't worry too much about Apple's legacy, and I believe Tim Cook will do just fine. Plus it's not like Steve Jobs totally bailed on Apple, here's his resignation letter if you haven't read:

To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
Steve

I'm sure that resigning from his CEO position was the last thing he wanted to do, but he must be seriously ill to let go of his position. But as he says, 'that day has come', and being as smart as he is, I'm sure that's the wisest choice he could have made. He should be happy with his decision, so should we. Wish you well Steve Jobs, and thanks for the Apple!

Guys who cry.

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Anna Joe) — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 04:23:00 +0000

Luqman nangis. Ummi dia happy je snap gambar. Hihi.

To me crying is therapeutic. Bila dah habis menangis tu, rasa lega yang amat. And I do love crying at the movies, I'm easily touched. Kadang-kadang bila tengok talent show bila orang ramai duk bangun tepuk tangan bagi standing ovation pon boleh macam oh tersentuh dan bergenang air mata. Haha. Lame, I know but it's somewhat makes it more worthwhile. Macam, layan dengan penuh perasaan. Dan bila somebody lakukan benda yang sangat sweet, especially when Pitt does, yang mana dia ni bukan kategori lelaki romantik, I will tend to shed a tear. :`)

Dan aku juga akan menangis bila rasa marah yang sangat. Aku jarang marah, usually simpan dalam dan telan, but when I am sooo angry, aku akan menangis. Then, masa pregnant dulu, pernah menangis bagai nak rak, sampai, sesak nafas. Masa tu tengah terliur sangat nak makan lamb chop kat kedai mamak dekat ngan rumah. Sekali tengok dah tutup. Pergh, serious frust gila. Dah order dah air segelas, terus bangun dan chow tak minum, then melalak dalam kereta, sampai ke rumah. Haha, damn emo.

But I've always been extremely sensitive when it comes to food, especially bila lapar, macam baby. Lapar je nangis. Haha. So time pregnant tu memang exaggerated kesensitifan itu. Ish ish. Tapi lepas tu, bila ingat balik, memang gelakkan diri sendiri, sebab rasa macam lawak.

Masa zaman sekolah dulu, kan ada sessi muhasabah diri, time kem motivasi, depa tutup lampu, pasang lagu, pastu duk buat ayat dan sajak konon nak kasik insaf dan sedar diri. Haha, lepas tu mulalah dengan orang duk teresak-esak, ada gak yang duk gelak, lelaki usually, tapi last-last tengok depa pon hidung berhinguih, mata merah, nangis jugeeekkk.

Lepas tu, bila tengok mak sendiri menangis, secara otomatik kita akan menangis. Dan nangis yang paling best, bila nangis time tengah berdoa, dan semestinya, pertama kali bila melihat Ka'bah. Huh, tak dapat digambarkan perasaan ketika itu!

So, what do you think of guys who cry? I mean bagi perempuan bila nangis ni, macam alah biasalah. But when guys, it's expected for them to maintain macho. But I have heard from friends, their boyfriends yang jenis kuat menangis. Kadang-kadang kalah perempuan duk nangis. Mostly because of relationship issues lah, bila gaduh etc, mintak maaf semua. I don't wanna think negatively of these guys, cause lain orang lain cara handle emosi kan regardless of gender, but like I said, kita dah biasa relate guys to being macho.

I have only seen my father cry once. That was when I was, perhaps 10 years old. I went to my neighbors house, selang satu rumah je pon. Naik basikal. Then bila balik tu, tengok awat semua duk kecoh duk kat luar rumah ni. Rupanya they were looking for me. And my dad was crying while hugging me.. :`( Huh.. Sebak. Then Pitt pulak, when we have these long serious talks about life and regrets and our future, and he talks about his appreciation for his parents. Rasa macam oh.. makes me respect him and love him even much more. Sebab Pitt ni jenis muka ketat, doesn't really show his affection and emotions, so bila jadi macam tu, rasa macam sangatlah tersentuh and I can see his sincerity.

Johnny Depp in Cry Baby. Nak tisu? Meh lap kat baju I.

Okay, while we're at it. Nah some videos:

Yang ni agak kelakar lah. Hehe.

Okay, yang ni memang tersentuh.
This guy masuk Islam.. and the guys there were crying.

Even though I tak paham apa budak ni cakap, berlinang je air mata..
You can even hear in the crowd, the men there crying.

So girls, do you know guys who cry? And guys, do you cry? If you do, when, why? If you don't, are you ashamed to cry because of what people might think? I'm just curios to know. I think we girls are lucky, because it's normal for girls to cry from the society's point of view, but not so for the guys, because it might show a sign of weakness. Agree, disagree? Apakah pendapat korang?

Blunt.

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Anna Joe) — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 22:07:00 +0000

I'm already at my 2nd semester. But I've been slacking. Missing some classes as well as assignments. My usual cycle has returned. Kitaran hangat-hangat tahi ayam. But I am determined not to let this consume me. Kalau dulu, I waited till the very last minute to tell my parents or my lecturers my problems. But that's when it's just too late to catch up.

One assignment in particular, I was supposedly to submit 2 weeks ago. But I didn't. I couldn't. I tried, but failed. The mental block, frozen in front of the screen, arranging words, trying to type out letters to make sentences in Microsoft Word just did not happen. I just couldn't at all figure out what to write. I tried reading over and over the text, but my brain could just not compute. Totally brain dead.

So last week I gathered all the strength I had left and met up with my lecturers and let it all out, told my lecturers my issues that I have been battling. My worries are, I am unable to maintain my GPA last semester. But after talking to my lecturer and reading an ebook I purchased by Leo Babauta on "Un-Procrastination", I realized my problem. All I had was 'fear'. Fear of the unknown, of the future, fear of failure, even though I have just started.

This just messes up my mind, putting too much pressure for me to handle. It's fine setting high goals, but it's not when it starts worrying you that you won't be able to achieve those goals. My brain is too occupied thinking of 'what might/might not happen if so.. and so..' when all I have to do is just do. And do the best that I can and stop worrying of trying to make it perfect.

I'm glad and relieved to have spoken to them. And I am even more relieved and thankful that they are extremely understanding. I am now motivated again, and I hopefully won't relapse back into my negative state of mind.

Acid splashing frenzy in Malaysia.

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Anna Joe) — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 13:41:00 +0000

So it seems that more acid splashing activities are happening more frequently as of late. It just used to be as an act of vengeance by ex husbands, or ex boyfriends, and the victims would usually be women. But lately, anyone can be a target, regardless of age, race and gender.

I think, these incidents are 'inspired' from the news. Apparently these are all separate cases, and most probably by different attackers. Unlike guns, it's near impossible to stop people from buying these corrosive liquids, because a lot of household items, used for cleaning can already cause burning to the skin when in contact.

So what can be done to stop this from happening? I'm afraid that there will most probably be no complete end to this, perhaps just a phase when things quite down a little. Because it seems, these attackers are now not only splashing acid, but they are doing so to rob their victims as the liquid form makes it much easier as a 'weapon'.

The only way we can prevent it, comes down to our own awareness of our surroundings. Be extra cautious and always on the lookout. Never ever take for granted for your safety even in public places. One of the victims here previously had a minor accident prior to the splash, was attacked later at Sogo. The other guy, a businessman had stopped his car to check a flat tyre, when these 2 guys suddenly approached him, one splashing the acid on his face, while the other trying to steal his car but failed.

These incidents, minor accident, flat tyre is something that happens everyday so we would not really think about it being 'planned'. So yes, it is very important when such incidents do happen, we need to be on the lookout for those who are approaching. But we shouldn't be extremely paranoid to the point that you're not willing to get out of the house, as these are only a few cases that are highlighted by the media. Also it would be a good idea for us to equip ourselves with prayers as well. For my Muslim readers, let me share some du'as that will protect us throughout the day Insya'Allah... :

Doa Keselamatan Diri Sendiri

Ertinya: Ya Tuhan! selamatkan aku dari orang-orang yang zalim.

Doa Menjauhi Kejahatan

Ertinya: Ya Allah! Aku berlindung kepada Engkau daripada kepayahan kemalangan, daripada jurang kecelakaan dan dari kemalangan nasib dan ejekan musuh.

These du'as were taken from the website of Jabatan Mufti Selangor. Please share them with your friends. Semoga kita semua terlindung dari kejahatan dan kecelakaan. Amin.

Iftar with Datuk Wira HJ SM Faisal

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Anna Joe) — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 03:59:00 +0000

Was invited again by Datuk Wira HJ SM Faisal, the intergalactic dreamer for a lovely buka puasa session at Favola, Le Meridien. He's really an inspiration, he's only 31 and already has received tons of recognitions and awards.

Meeting him up close and personal, it's no surprise why he is as successful as he is today - he is extremely humble and generous. Each and everyone of us even received duit raya, which was totally unexpected. I was thinking it was some discount coupons to buy a car. Lol. Wish it were car keys though. Boleh balik kampung masa raya bawak kereta baru vroom vroom.

Anyway, if you haven't you should totally head down to the Naza World Automall and go cuci mata, and maybe it'll make you motivated to work hard and someday own a really mean piece of steel on wheels. I know I want to. Okay, photo time!

Class photo!

Me and my beloved chubby hubby.
Tengah paksa dia diet. Double chin dah nak jadi triple.
Tapi, dable ke tripel cheeseberger ke,
gua tatap sayang sama lu.

Lovely deco. Rasa macam kat wedding dinner.

I love you kambing golek.

Dessert bukan desert, not padang pasiaq.

A goodie bag and some goodie duit raya too! Wah la wehh.

Happy and satisfied faces.
Okay bawah dah sessi berkamerahor.

Anyhoo, thanks to Ami, for first introducing my blog to Helennes because from there I've been getting invites to some really cool events. Looking forward to more! And manalah tau, rezeki korang, pon boleh join!! Weeee.

Oh yeah, almost forgot! The video of the majlis berbuka puasa:
