Its My Life

I want, what I want, When I want It.

Well, that's life. That's how I want to maneuver my life, right now.

Regardless of me being selfish or not, that is.

Who cares? Even if I care, will other people take the trouble to care as much as I do?

No. Nope. None.

So, I want to live my life as it is, judge me all you want. Like I care?

There's nothing to think about pun. So I don't want to be in a shitty mood right now, why make it worse, kan?!

Legend Island

12 November 2007 (Isnin)
- Ambil bas from KL Sentral to LCCT cost RM8.00. Hujan plak pagi ni. Sampai LCCT, Girl and the others semua dah sampai. Terus checkin. Our flight is 10.20am. As usual, the flight is delay again, we depart 11.00am. Haaiihhh….kena gelar Air Delay..bukan AirAsia.

- Sampai Langkawi 12.00pm. Terus checkin kat chalet. We stay at Lagenda Permai Chalet – RM60 per night. Cheap right? Area Pantai Chenang. Keadaan chalet ni ok…not bad. Lagi pun bukan nak stay dlm bilik pun. Lepas solat cari makanla…perut masing-masing dah lapar. We had our lunch at Tomato Restaurant. Just walking distance from our chalet. The price is affordable macam kat KL jugakla not much different. Lepas tu, kami cari tempat nak sewa kereta. We rent 2 cars, 1 Myvi and 1 Iswara – RM60 per day.. Cheap also…eemm…boleh recommend kat kawan-kawan nih. As usual, me as the driver. Ntah naperla depa suka suruh I jadi driver… L. Takperla…I drive Myvi, bawa family Girl. The other car Nizam (Adik Girl) yg drive..dlm kereta tu semua orang-orang muda..ceehhh!! Dlm Myvi warga EMAS!! Redha ajerla.

- Bila dah selesai hal sewa menyewa nih, 1st destination is tempat Beras Terbakar. Not much to say here…beras2 tu pun dah tak berapa nak ada. Tinggal sikit aje..tu pun terletak dalam kotak khas kat kawasan situ jugak. Ramai orang duk ambil beras tu, smpi habis!! Kat situ ada juga kedai jual2 mcm pakaian, kain batik, minyak gamat etc..etc..etc.. situ murah2.

- Next, we went to Telaga 7. Kononnya nak panjatla sampai atas. Tapi tak sanggupla sebab terlalu tinggi and tak larat nak panjat tangga hingga ke atas. We just make it hingga ke waterfalls aje. Situ pun dah cantik viewnya. Tak ramai pun orang yang mandi kat situ. Yelah..mana nak ada, sbb kami pegi sana on weekdays, bukannya on weekend or school holidays, or public holiday. Rehat about ½hr kat sana. Next, we went to Gunung MatChincang. Famous place for CableCar. Nak naik cable car tu cost RM15.00..kena tunjuk I/C baru boleh dpt harga tu…if not is RM25.00. Macam nak naik Genting Highland jugakla…keadaannya. Bila kat atas tu memang berkabus!!! Ala-ala overseas gituuu… tapi takla sejuk…rasa macam biasa ajer. Nice view, boleh nampak island-island..kalau tak berkabusla…berkabus kalu…mmg putih aje semua.

- Habis kat atas tu, balik chalet. Tukar baju, mandi kat beach pantai chenang plak. Air laut kat situ punyala masin…uweeekkk….tak sanggup lama2 dlm tu. Pedih mata, gatal2 muka dibuatnya.

- Lepas solat Maghrib, we went to Kuah. Had dinner at 1 of the shop kat situ. Lepas tu jalan-jalan, pusing-pusing lepak kat Dataran Helang. Lama jugak kat sana…smpi pukul 11pm. Kami smpi sana pun dah pukul 10lebih, nak cari tempat tu, cari parking lagi, berjalan lagi, sembang2 lagi…mana tak lama. Finish 1 day punya event.

13 November 2007 (Selasa)
- Plan for today is island hopping. Murah aje…is only RM25.00 per person..and it’s a half day trip. 1 boat boleh muat 16 orang. Best naik speed boat tu…lajuuuu!! Tak boleh mabukla kalau laju macam tu. 1st stop is at Pulau Beras Basah for 1 ½ hr…nice beach. Keadaan pantai tu cantik…crystal clear water, boleh nampak ikan-ikan from the jetty…boleh snorkeling jugak…tp tak cukup equipment. Kami mandi kat tepi-tepi pantai aje.

- Lepas tu, tour to Helang Island. Kat situ tak turun dari boat sebab kami kat situ cuma boleh tengok burung-burung Helang. Banyak burung2 Helang kat situ, to see how it’s fly and catch a fish…really…really cooollll!!! (See the pics below)

- Next we went to Pulau Dayang Bunting. On the way tu, from the boat memang boleh tengok bentuk Pulau Dayang Bunting tu…ada shape pregnant lady (See the pics below). We only allow to be there for 1 hour. From the jetty we need to walk up to the lake Dayang Bunting. Took us about 15 minutes. Tak larat sungguh nak panjat bukit…turun bukit..kejang kaki dibuatnya. Finally sampai jugakla. Take a boat rite..1 hr kena bayar RM30..okla..bayarla..I naik dgn Girl & Jamal. Tour keliling lake tu. Sunyi aje lake tu….dikelilingi oleh pulau. Tak lama pun naik boat tu…then terjun pulak kat lake. Tak berani lama-lama dlm tu sbb 30 meter dlmnya lake tu. Eventhough pakai life jacket still don’t feel secure sebab I & Girl tak reti nak berenang. Nasib Jamal tak swim, he just wait for us then tarik kami naik…sbb rasa lain macam aje dalam lake tu. Girl sampai rasa nak menangis. Well, it’s an experience.

- Complete dah island hopping. We really have a great time. Sampai chalet at about 2pm. Byk lagi tempat nak pegi visit ni.

- Next, we went to Makam Mahsuri. Banyak dah berubah tempat tu…dah upgrade. Nak masuk kat situ is RM5.00. We all kat dalam tu about 1 hr. Posing kat Makam, kat Telaga Mahsuri, kat Perkampungan Melayu dlm tu. I actually dah tak larat nak jalan….byk duduk dr berjalan…sebab betis I sakit and sometime cramp. Tapi tak tunjukla…maintain mcm biasa. Nasibla drive Myvi auto. Manual kalu….alamatnya tak berjalanla. Sebab other drivers tak expert manual car. Haaiihhh

- Next to Galeria Perdana. Dalam tu semua disimpan barang-barang collections Tun Mahathir. Nak masuk situ kena bayar RM10.00 I and Nizam tak masuk. After drop the others at the Galeria…I & Nizam pergi kedai across the road lepak kat situ. Lega rasanya dpt rehat kat situ. I memang dah tak larat nak jalan sakit sgt betis ni. Lama jugakla depa kat dalam galeria tu. Then we went back to the chalet…rest smpi mlm.

- Had dinner at Restaurant Rasa just walking distance from our chalet. Nice place….we had seafood. Nizam belanja that nite. Lepas tu we take walk at Pantai Chenang..smpi late a nite.

14 November 2007 (Rabu)
- We had breakfast at The Loft Langkawi at Kok Harbour. Tempat situ terletak semua kapal2 mewah. (See the pics below)

- Lepas breakfast we heading to Kuah. Shopping time!!! As for me, there’s nothing to buy…only chocolates. 2 hours we were there. Mak Girl yg shopping banyak sungguh…sampai kena beli extra begla dibuatnya.

- After shopping we went to Underwater World. Nak masuk situ kena bayar RM28.00. Over 4000 animals and sea creatures representing more than 500 species..Awarded “The Largest Aquaria” in Malaysia by The Malaysia Book of Records.

- By 2.30 we all packed and checkout. Had lunch then we proceed to the airport. Our flight is 5.30pm. As usual delay again. ETD at 6.10pm. Haiihh….sabor ajerlah. Hujan lebat. Macam tahu-tahu aje cuaca ni yg kami kesana nak bercuti….cuaca sungguhla elok…panas selama kami kat sana. Alhamdulillah…kalau hujan, tak dapatla nak buat all the xtvts semua nih.

- Sampai KL at 7.10pm. Kamal fetch me at the airport, dia dah tunggu kat arrival hall. Girl and her family/friends balik dgn Limo.

It was a great vacations. Hope to go there again…insyaAllah.

Theses are the pictures taken while i'm there :)

Other great sceneries :)

Shampoo

My usual hairdresser closed her shop. I had to go to the neighboring shady looking shop. I didn't need a haircut; I just wanted to get my hair shampooed. It wasn't like takde air kat rumah, but I just love the feeling of someone else shampooing my hair, not in erotic kinda way. Plus, it has been a very stressful day. I just want to sit on the chair, read magazines that I would never want to get caught buying like Mangga and let the shampoo girl lather up bubbles, and oh urut2 my kepala sikit.

Anyways, back to the story just now, I seriously didn't want to strike any conversation with anybody in the salon including the shampoo girl (Indonesian). I was planning to open my mouth just to say cuci & blow dry, berapa and thank you. But, no. the shampoo girl had to be a chatty girl. Very chatty girl. She started by asking where do I work, what do I do, am I married, am I seeing anybody, panas kan kak weather sekarang, siti nurhaliza and other shit (Banyak tanya plak minah indon ni). Her demeanor reminded me of Queen Latifah's character in The Salon. You know, the one where she owns a salon and the salon has become a mini CNN on its own, everybody brings in their own 'intelligence' and will compare notes and stuff. The place where you first heard that the fella who lives two doors from you actually keeps a mistress heheh. You get what I mean.

You see at my usual hairdresser, the shampoo girl always know that I never want to strike any conversation with anybody in the salon. Yes, contrary to popular belief, I know how to keep my mouth shut at times. Bukan sombong, but I just want to unwind.

So back to the chatty shampoo girl. She didn't seem to get the point!! eventhough I answered her questions curtly and sometimes even tak jawab langsung. I swear to myself that I will never step foot into that place anymore! Suddenly the chatty shampoo girls asked me:

"Akak nak urut?"

"Urut?"

"Iye lah, urut bahu apa semua"

"Err..ok"

She started to massage my shoulders, neck and my back. OMG! Super best ok! Ok la not orgasmic best, but not that bad at all. She continued doing so for the next ten minutes. I rasa sangat refreshed by then. She ended the urut by tepuk-tepuk on my back..

Pap pap pap pap!

Pergh!! Best giller! (Sakit gakla….sbb dia tepuk tulang..heh..heh..hhe..but still in a polite way)

Apparently she wasn't only a shampoo girl; she is also the masseuse and the stylist all in one. Takde service macam ni at my usual salon.

The bill came up to RM14. RM 14 ok!!!! Murah giller compared to the service rendered.

"Terima kasih ye"

"Sama-sama, kak. Datang lagi."

"Ok. Sorry eh tadi tak borak sangat. Akak penat la keje"

"Eh, takpe. Terima kasih ye kak!"

I rasa bersalah dan keji pulak for acting cold towards her hehehe. So, what's your Shampoo experience?

mom, this is why i'm not married yet

1.The nice men are ugly.

2. The handsome men are not nice.

3. The handsome and nice men are gay.

4. The handsome, nice and heterosexual men are married.

5. The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men, have no money.

6. The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men with money think we are only after their money.

7. The handsome men without money are after our money.

8. The handsome men, who are not so nice and somewhat heterosexual, don't think we are beautiful enough.

9. The men who think we are beautiful, that are heterosexual,somewhat nice and have money, are cowards.

10.The men who are somewhat handsome, somewhat nice and have some money and thank God are heterosexual, are shy and NEVER MAKE THE FIRST MOVE!!!!

11. The men who never make the first move, automatically lose interest in us when we take the initiative.

NOW ... .WHO REALLY UNDERSTANDS MEN?

Men are like a fine wine. They all start out like grapes, and it's a woman's job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something you'd like to have dinner with.

Suasana Hari Raya

I balik kampung on 12/10/07. Actually kerja lagi on that day, firm bagi ½ day off for muslim staff…heh..heh..heh. 1pm sharp I balik…tak tunggu dah. When I reach home, my parents dah siap!! All pack!! As for me…tak siap apa lagi pun…baju pun tak simpan dlm beg lagi…aduuiihhhh. Tp, last nite dah pilih dah baju-baju apa nak bawa…dah put aside pun, just tak simpan dlm beg lagi. Well, tak buang masa dah, terus kemas beg. Kami bertolak sharp pukul 3pm. Dah tu nak dijadikan cerita, I almost masuk toll Sg Buloh, kena patah balik…sebab, baru teringat roadtax tertinggal. Ya Allah…masa tu tuhan ajela yg tahu, nasib baru area KL, buatnya dah sampai Ipoh…tak ke naya. Patahla balik rumah amik roadtax. Roadtax expired on 13/10 plak tu, dengan nak rayanya…dengan nak balik kampongnya, dengan travelling expensesnya…..Mr RM memang sungguh kurang mengizinkan untuk I berhari raya berlebih-lebihan tahun ni.

Sepanjang perjalanan ke Alor Star, the traffic is very bad and heavy rain along the way. Took us 8 hours to reach Alor Star. Kami bebuka puasa kat R&R Bukit Gantang. Sebelum tu berhenti rehat kat Sg Perak, ingat nak buka puasala kat situ, tapi ramai sungguhla manusia, dengan hujannya..tak selesala plak. I suggest kat Papa, apa kata kita stop kat next R&R, maybe kat sana tak ramai orang, so he agree. Tu yg stop kat Bukit Gantang tu. Ada gakla yang behenti kat situ, tapi not as bad as Sg Perak. Bebuka makan nasi goreng beli tadi kat Menjalara. Nak turun pi restaurant kat R&R tu hujan plak..malasla…tu yang siapkan bekal senang sket. Then continue the journey. Memang penat drive masa hujan ni..sbb dengan tak nampak jalan, dgn nak concentrate on the heavy traffic, dengan ada kereta yang tiba2 buat emergency break ..adduihh…memang penatla.

Pagi hari raya semua pegi ziarah kubur arwah tok. Left me, my mum, k.hus and bibik. Memang dah menjadi routine every year kami akan kemas rumah final touch, hidang makanan, nasi impit, laksa, ketupat daun palas, rendang, kek lapis from Sarawak…mcm2la..penuh meja dibuatnya. Lepas solat raya, sesi makan dan bergambar macam tahun-tahun lepas.

Lepas makan, at about 11am we went to Istana Anak Bukit nak berhari raya dgn Tuanku Sultan Kedah. Info from my cousin (Sh. Rehana), she said Istana is on renovation so the event took place at Wisma Darul Aman. Royal families a.k.a kaum kerabat Sultan boleh berjumpa dengan Sultan pukul 11am. My parents tak pergi, only me, auntie, syamil, naim and nazwal family yg pegi. Sampai sana dah ramai dah families kat dewan. Kena beratur sebelum berjumpa dengan Tuanku. Sama macam tahun2 lepas jugak. Tapi, kami makan dulu, takla banyak sangat foodnya…tapi bolehla alas perut..sambil-sambil tu jumpa dengan sedara mara tanya khabar. Bila dah sampai tu, lepas salam dgn Tuanku/Permaisuri I dpt duit raya. Not only me, the whole family dapat duit raya. He..he..he…jadikla dari tak ada langsung.

Lepas balik dari Istana, dah ada tetamu datang rumah. Tok Mak Pah’s family, 3 kereta depa datang…termasuk anak cucu cicitnya. Kelam kabut masing-masing, tapi nak kena siapkan air aje, yang lain semua dah ada atas meja. Then, Syed Zainal Abidin’s family, 2 kereta. Then, Syed Hashim’s family pun 2 kereta jugak. Malamnya ada BBQ kat rumah Tok Mak Pah’s. So, we went there plak, meramaikan kat rumah Tok Mak Pah plak. Izuan pun balik Alor Star petang tu, so he join the BBQ that nite.

2nd raya pagi2 lagi I dah keluar pegi Desa Kamilla jumpa dgn Pak Mat. Dia baru balik dari mekah buat Umrah. Lepas tu singgah Pekan Cina plak, beli Ikan Kering..pesanan dr Tg Nor Azah a.k.a Auntie Non. Tengahari Syed Kamaruzaman and family came. Dia baru dapat baby girl Sharifah Akilla Umairah. Punyala comei baby girl dia..we call her daughter as Baby Doll. Semua geram dengan Baby Doll, sampai dia tak senang dudukla. Dia pun baik plak tu…mau kat semua orang tak banyak kerenah…gelak memanjang. Baru 6 bulan. Abang dia Syed Abdullah…pun handsome macam daddy dia jugak. How I wish…dpt cute babies macam ni

Nadisha a.k.a Abg Bok balik Alor Star juga on 2nd raya. Family mertua dia dekat aje kat Bertam, Penang. Sejam dah sampai. Abang Shiral pun sampai hari ni jugak…dia dari Kelantan, dia sampai petang pukul 5.30pm. Ramaila umat manusia kat Alor Star. Total semua kat rumah tu is 29 orang…ramai tu. Lepas maghrib, kami semua serbu rumah Tg Asiah a.k.a Tok Nda kat Mentalun. My nieces & nephew suka pi sini sebab rumah Tok Nda ni ada banyak kek. Tok Nda jamu makan Roti Jala..kejap aja dah licin. We went there 4 cars. Penuh dah compound rumah Tok Nda. Nak buat macamana…dah big family.

3rd Raya plak. Pagi2 dah keluar pegi rumah Tok Nda. Sebab last nite my parents tak pegi sebab dah malam malas depa nak keluar. So, this morning lepas breakfast sebelum matahari naik dah ada kat depan rumah Tok Nda. Lama gakla duduk sana bersembang. During lunch time, Syed Osman Aidid’s family came. 4 kereta…tu pun dah penuh compound rumah, kereta my brothers including my car total dah 8. Then ni tambah another 4 …sampai ada yg kena tumpang park kereta kat rumah sebelah..sbb kawasan dah penuh. Then Syed Mustapha plak datang…Ya Allah…ramai sungguhla..penat melayan tetamu this year. Non stop yg datang tu. Then Mak Teh’s family from Penang plak datang. Tu tetamu paling last. Malam kami semua layan bunga api plak..heh..heh..heh.

4th raya plak. Papa nak kena urus hal tanah kat Pejabat Tanah di Alor Star. Dia pegi dgn Abg Wan and Uncle. Abg Bok, Abg Shiral, Naim & Syamil balik hari ni. Esok depa dah kerja. Yang datang hari ni is only Tg Kamel & family. Depa makan tengahari kat rumah.

The rest of the days, cuma orang2 kampung, kawan-kawan lama yg datang beraya kat rumah. Dah tak seramai hari2 yang lepas.

I balik KL on 20/10/07. Keluar rumah dalam pukul 9 lebih macamtu. Traffic not that heavy but moving. Along the way was raining. Tak boleh nak speed sangat. Took us 8 hours to reach KL. Sebelum tu singgah Sg Petani, jumpa Nda Aisyah. Singgah kejap aje, tak boleh nak lama takut lambat plak sampai KL nanti. Berhenti kat a few R&R…kali ni I rasa penat sangat. Kaki tiba-tiba boleh cramp…panicla nak tukar driver pun tak boleh. Papa tak nampak nak drive, lama juga I behenti kat R&R Sg Perak..urut kaki cramp. Dah tu dengan hujannya…letih sangat. Sampai rumah dah almost 7.

These are the pics taken during hari raya.

Slide ni plak taken by Nazwal. Dia ni berangan nak buat ala-ala Saiful Nang Pro Photographer. Mari kita tengok hasilnya…

Buka puasa dgn Girl

• Hari ni buka puasa dengan Girl kat Quality Hotel. Dah lama dia ajak I bebuka dengan dia. After so long, hari ni la baru dapat masa yang sesuai. Masalahnya, I ni malas nak drive petang2 ke Shah Alam lalu Federal Hightway. Jalan situ hari-hari jam tu yang tak sanggup tu, dan kena fikir 4 5 6 kali nak pegi sana. I left the office at 5.45pm traffic was very bad jam at Federal Highway.

• Sampai Quality Hotel pukul 7pm. Just nice...Girl pun dah tunggu kat reception. Ramai orang kat sana, from the coffee house until the lobby area penuh dgn meja and tempat makan. Hari ni kebetulan, staff from CIMB, RHB, other private cos pun ada. Puteri Umno pun ada jugak, boleh tahu sebab depa semua pakai uniform color pink.

• The food sedap jugak, RM55 per head. Lot's of choices...tp tak bolehla lawan hotel-hotel yang kat KL nih..more choices. We ate up to 8.30pm...lama tuuu....heh...heh...heh. Mana taknya, makan sambil sembang, lama tak jumpa so bykla isu-isu semasa nak update.

• Lepas tu, Girl ajak pegi SACC. So, okla...sbb awal lagi. Pegi kedai hp. Bukan nak beli hp, tp nak tukar number. Dari 1 kedai ke 1 kedai...semua number macam tak berapa nak menarik. Then this 1 shop, i really like the number its 019 - 3***7744. Sama dengan my car number. Girl kata - Haa...K.Shiera...ambilla...RM10 aje tu. Sbb apa dia cakap RM10, sbb baru-baru ni dia beli number baru harga RM10 aje. Tanpa fikir panjang so nak ambikla nombor tu...tanya2 kat amoi tu berapa harga? RM88 katanya. RM88!!! Amboiii...mahalnya!! Amoi tu cakap....nombor ni cantik maaa...harga RM88. Cehh...!!! terus i suruh dia simpan balik. Takpela...simpan dia punya number cantik tu. Well, nmpk gayanya kena surveyla cari number yang cun..cun.

• Sebelum balik singgah Secret Recipe beli Singapore Laksa The deliciously fragrant Singapore Laksa is flovoured with special in-house creation of shrimp paste, lengkuas, chillies and polygonum leaves..heemm...yummy..yummy. that's is for my dad. As for me plak..Chocolate IndulgenceCreamy and rich Belgian coverture chocolate and white chocolate filling. Absolutely a luscious, luxurious, sinfully rich chocolate lover's dream. Sedapnyaa...!! Girl ckp, K.Shiera...nak masuk mana ni kek ni? Tadi dah makan nasi, lamb, mee, yong tau fu, ABC, roti jala..tak cukup ke?? Ni bukan masalah tak cukup.....ni masalah i'm too skinny and i need to put on weight. She said, alaa....badan k.shiera nih...makanla byk mana pun...tetap maintain slim ...i jeless tauuu. Ha..ha...ha...ha....too bad, tp yang penting..as long as I sihat, tak sakit demam, tak ada sakit2 yg kronik, boleh jaga both my parents tu...dah syurkur alhamdulillah.
