On Ghosts and whatnot
Assalamualaikum wbt and peace be upon you,
.
Well, someone asked me whether I believe in ghosts or not. Of course I do. And I believe that Malaysia has the most ghosts in the world (but of course the Indonesians wouldn't like this, so they would challenge us at the International Court of Justice that THEIR country has the most ghosts! "SIGH" - What about these Indonesians, always trying to outdo us, in the most stupid ways).
.
Back to the topic, of course I believe in ghosts. I've even captured one on camera, right (see my entry on Mekah and Madinah Always on my mind:The Final Chapter). Anyway, we have sooo many ghosts in my country, you can even come across one in broad daylight. Just a few days ago, a neighbour came to my house, asking my mom for some zamzam water, coz his brother had encountered a pontianak (vampire) at dusk at a water tank near my place (yeah, like less than 500 metres from my house and next to the highway too). The brother was trembling and shaking and having hot fever. The doctor's medication couldn't cure him. Of course, since his fever was not due to an illness, but due to extreme fear or trauma.
.
There are ghosts in my house too but I'm not going to talk about it here. Well, basically, if you are a fan of ghosts, just come to Malaysia. We are like the melting pot of ghosts haha. When we watch 'Ghost Adventure" or "Ghost Lab" on Tv, we are all like, "well, this is nothing like what we have encountered". Really.
.
Anyway, Malaysians like to be involved in witchcrafts too. There are sooo many bomohs in Malaysia that they even have their own organization (well, those who register la, but there are many more who do not register with this organization). And these bomohs would communicate with their satans or jinns to perform certain tasks. What, you don't believe in jinns? Well, Jinns do exist. It is stated in the Quran and humans can tell them to do things for us. For example, Prophet Solomon used the Jinns as construction workers or builders to build him beautiful palaces and magnificent buildings. My mom said, she believed that the pyramids were also built by Jinns coz Propeht Moses's time was when witchcrafts was at its peak. She said, that's why the archeologists are still unable to find the tomb of the master architect of the pyramids coz he was a Jinn. Haha, that's my mom's theory. Of course the archeologists would say that my mom is nuts. Hokay, my mom is weird but she's been to the pyramids, so, I dunno....
.
p.s. As I writing this, a lightning bolt suddenly occured and and my house was turned pitch black. When I turned on the power circuit, I realized that the time was 12.30 a.m. Did something just happen here? (Luckily this entry was saved in draft).
.
Hokay, gtg. Better hit the sack.

My Life This Week
Assalamualaikum wbt and peace be upon you,
.
Wow, actually I don't know what to write about my life this week haha. Coz I haven't been doing anything extraordinary!
.
My sisters and I wake up early every morning to go to the Quran Memorization Camp, which at first I thought would be dead boring but it turns out to be superb. Superb coz it is soo fun to hang out with all the other participants, and the musolla serves delicious food for us, and the Ustaz is a really nice guy, and we have fun really, from 8.30am - 5.00 pm from Monday to Friday every week. My lil sis even complained why we don't have classes on weekends (This really surprises my mom actually).
.
Last week was my mom's birthday but we didn't get her anything. Dad just took all of us out and my mom ended up buying clothes for my sisters and I have to spend my own dollar to get myself a t-shirt. My mom didn't get anything but honestly we don't know what to get her. My mom has been ill for quite sometime and was really ill last week with her coughs and asthma attacks and weird overdose of sleeping. My mom is not one who would pop pills or pay a visit to the doctor you know. She has been known to prefer passing out due to extreme pain rather than pop a panadol. All she'd take is coconut water or natural herbs (yes, she had fainted several times when she had her fever, always crying out in pain etc, but not a pill goes into her mouth. She says the body will heal itself and illnesses are God's way to test our patient, so we should be thankful just like we should be thankful when God gives us good health).
Anyway, the story behind this is, my mom sensed that her illness is not physical but due to something else (like evil eye maybe, I dunno), so she asked my dad to take her to see an Ustaz (a religious man) last week, and the man gave her water (which he had recited Quranic verses to it) to drink and wash her face, shoulder, neck and chest. Surprisingly, the terrible coughs and asthma attacks stopped on the spot. (True, why do I want to lie about this. I won't gain anything by lying). So, my mom could sleep peacefully now. No more hard coughings which my mom said, made her felt like someone had hit a hammer onto her head and smashed her brain to pieces. And she can also breathe unlike before, when she said, she could see a big square heavy metal plate being pushed on her chest, making her unable to breathe every time she sleeps.(Now, maybe you think my mom is nuts, but I really saw her having difficulties to breathe). Sometimes, I had to prepare hot water bottle for her and sometimes my lil sis had to massage her thighs to ease the asthma.The weird thing is, my mom would be better when she goes out but she'd become ill again when she is at home. So now, my mom's health problem has been resolved and I'm really really happy that my mom is well again.Well, come to think of it, maybe that was God's birthday gift to my mom! (by restoring her health??).
.
My sisters and I love to watch the "Jane by Design" show on TV. In fact, my big sister now wears her makeup just like Jane you know. And because I love fashion and fashion design, this is my current fav show.
.
This weekend is wedding week. My second cousin is getting married to a Kedah royalty (well, that's what his mom said), so they are having two receptions on the same day. My cousin is a really handsome guy (due to mixed blood) though we don't really know him coz he's already an adult so I do hope that his bride is equally beautiful.
.
Anddd to be honest with you, actually I don't know what to write anymore haha coz my life this week is just soooooo normal hahaha.
.
Thank you for visiting my blog, wherever you are and I hope you have a perfectly normal life....just like me :)

Stunned!!
Assalamualaikum wbt and peace be upon you,
I was listening to the al-Quran (Soorah al-Hajj) while reading the translation on Quran Explorer just now. And how I was stunned when I saw the below verses:
O mankind! A similitude is coined, so pay ye heed to it: Lo! those on whom ye call beside Allah will never create a fly though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly took something from them, they could not rescue it from it. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought! (73) They measure not Allah His rightful measure. Lo! Allah is Strong, Almighty. (74) Allah chooseth from the angels messengers, and (also) from mankind. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Seer. (75) He knoweth all that is before them and all that is behind them, and unto Allah all things are returned. (76) O ye who believe! Bow down and prostrate yourselves, and worship your Lord, and do good, that haply ye may prosper. (77) And strive for Allah with the endeavour which is His right. He hath chosen you and hath not laid upon you in religion any hardship; the faith of your father Abraham (is yours). He hath named you Muslims of old time and in this (Scripture), that the messenger may be a witness against you, and that ye may be witnesses against mankind. So establish worship, pay the poor-due, and hold fast to Allah. He is your Protecting friend. A blessed Patron and a blessed Helper! (78).
.
Isn't it really really true. Of course no one can create a teeny weeny fly (even though some would boast that they have created rockets and whatnot). A fly is just a simple little insect. It's surely no rocket science right. But how come the rocket scientists are not able to create it. And to add insult to injury, is when the fly took something from them, they could not rescue it from it.I was really stunned when I heard this verse. Coz I've never even thought about it , that when a fly took something from my food, and I wasn't able to take it back. But it's just sooo true isn't. You can kill the fly but you cannot take it back from the fly. It just show how terribly weak we are.

Ten Simple Living Tips
Assalamualaikum wbt and peace be upon you,
.
I'd like to continue on my family's simple living lifestyle.
.
We don't have:
.
1. Dryer. We live in a tropical country so I don't understand why some Malaysians have dryers. It's expensive, eats up your electricity like nobody's business and my mom said, emits radiation which is harmful to your health. (and mom said it destroys clothes too).
.
2.Microwave oven.Also emits radiation and most people only use it to thaw food.
.
3. Dad has stopped subscribing to National Geographic magazines and whatnot. Coz we can watch the documentaries on TV and get info on the internet.
.
4. Make-ups. Mom goes out without make-up. Only my big sis wears makeup.
.
5. Hair dresser. Only my dad and I go to the barbers. My mom and sisters cut their own hair. and my dad plans to get a set of hair cutting equipment to save on trips going to the barber.
.
6. Drink more plain water than other drinks. You'll save on electricity, teabags, sugar, and it'll improve your health.
.
7. Get rid of the maids. We don't have maids anymore so we save on paying them. They'd used more electricity, water, and food in your home too. And most of them are a burden rather than an asset.
.
8. Dishwasher. Just wash your own dish after you have eaten. My dad really hates people who don't wash their own plates and mugs.My mom washes the kitchen stuff while cooking. So, by the time she finishes cooking, her kitchen will also look as clean as before she did the cooking.
.
9. We wear house gowns. Malaysians usually wear house gowns like the baju kelawar (caftan) at home, so we save on the number of clothes to wash.
.
10.Plant your herbs. My mom and big sis plant herbs to be used when cooking, so we save on having to buy them.
.
That's all for now.
.
Peace

Happy New Year to All Muslims
Assalamualaikum wbt and peace be upon you,
.
Today is the first day of the Muslim's new year . I hope God forgives all my previous sins and next year we will all have a better year. I'm really looking forward to this new year.
.
Do you have a new year resolution? I'm still trying to figure out mine. A month from now I'll be in Form 3. I do hope that it'll be fun. But to be honest, it's exam year so I don't think I'll have the time to lepak. Not that my parents really urge me to study. They don't want me to have a stressful life. But I want to give them something, to show them my appreciation, and I guess it's by studying hard.
.
My big sis is one of the best students in school. I hope I'll get the same results too. My lil' sis is lucky coz when she's in Form 3, there's no more PMR. She can breeze thru her school years until Form 5 when we all have our SPM.
.
Next year, I'll go to school in the morning with my big sis. My big sis will sit for her SPM, then off she goes to university or get married, whichever comes first. My lil sis still goes to school in the afternoon. Haha, she'll be left alone to ride the school van. No more story telling to my mom hehe.
.
Next week, we will have to attend the quran memorization class for a month. God, why can't we have the time to relax?
.
Well, I've been reading up the popular "Solusi" magazine and I think I'll have this new year resolution (which I'll explain below):
.
One of the articles in the mazagine is " There's Heaven In My Heart". In this article, it says, one of the most renown Islamic scholars, Ibn Taimiyah said, "There's a heaven in this world. Those who didn't enter it in this world, will not enter it in the hereafter". He also said" My heaven is in my heart, wherever I go, it goes with me".
.
Now, for your info, Ibn Taimiyah was extremely poor. He was also imprisoned several times and at last he died in a prison in Damsyik.(Damascus). However, another scholar, Ibn al-Qayim said" I've never seen anyone more blessed than him. Even though he was imprisoned several times, he was assaulted and tortured, the signs of happiness are clearly shown on his face".
.
How did he achieve this heaven in his heart? According to the article:
.
1. He never blamed anyone else or the circumstances/ situations for what happened to him.
2. The difficulties in life were not something which blocked his undertakings.
3. He did not turn away from Allah's reminders. Allah says in the Quran " Whoever turns away from My reminders, he will have a narrow? life". (This will make one feels like he's living in a small enclosed area even though this world is so vast, thus he will suffer mental illnesses like depression, skizofrenia, madness and will finally commit suicide).
4. Why did this narrow and enclosed feeling arise? It's because he wants something that's against Allah's will. And he becomes angry if he doesn't achieve what he wants, when the fact is, Allah is the Planner and the Executor in this world. We are just the humble servants of God.
So how must we behave?
5. We must behave in accordance of Allah's will (by following the Quran coz Allah has stated everything on what can be done and what we cannot do).
6. If what you plan does not happen, then just accept it and move on.
.
I think this resolution is quite easy to follow once I've broken it down to the above list, don't you think. So, That will be my New Year Resolution:- to have " a heaven in my heart".
.
Wish you all have heavens in your hearts too.
.

On Simple Living Part 3
Assalamualaikum wbt and peace be upon you,
You know, I browse 'The Simply Luxurious Life' blog everyday and tonight I saw the writer mentioned the 'Miss Minimalist' blog. When I took a look at the blog, I feel very excited coz my mom has been practising almost all of what she suggested. So maybe I can call my mom, Mrs Minimalist huh?
.
Anyway, these are some of the items that are similar to what my mom does:
.
1. Sleep on mattress on the floor. My mom got rid of the bed after baby bro died.(There's a story behind this, but I'll tell you later). However, we children still have our own beds.
.
2. Have naked windows. (Yes, the bay window in our hall is naked, coz dad put up blinds at the deck. However, my mom has purchased a curtain last week and it will be ready next week. When I asked my mom why she suddenly feels that we need a curtain, she says she'd like to draw the blinds to get the lights in.However, she said she bought the cheapest material and it cost her only RM96.00. (Some of my neighbours have curtains which cost thousands of ringgit and I think it's a waste of money. I'd rather spend it on a holiday, don't you?).
.
3Television. We had 2 sets of TV but when one exploded after my mom rearranged its place, we are left with one, and my mom says that's enough.
4.Collectibles.We don't collect anything, except my dad. My mom can't tell my dad to give up his collections, and we have to respect his decisions. but basically my mom does not encourage us to collect and hoard.
.
5.Books. We hardly buy any books nowadays. Whatever books that we don't want will be sent to my mom's friend who's an Associate Professor with the understanding that if one day we wish to get our hands on the books again, he'll give the books back to us.Now when we want to read, we'd borrow or look up ebooks. We used to have a mini library at home but now we have only one shelving unit of books and my mom is planning to downsize further (but my dad does not like the idea, so my mom is cooling off for the time being).
.
6.Kitchenware. My mom does not collect sets and sets of china or silverware like my grandma. In fact she hates it. We are so deprived of chinas that my dad's friend, Uncle John who came back from the United Kingdom decided to donate one of his beautiful collections to us. My mom only uses it when visitors come. As for us, we keep on using the mismatched plates and whatnot.
.
7.Bank Accoount. My mom used to have many bank accounts. But now she has none. When she went to her bank recently with my dad to terminate her last remaining current account, the bank manager hugged her twice (upon seeing her and when she was leaving). Mom only has the Pilgrimage Account now while dad maintains one bank account and the Pilgrimage Account. We also don't have any bank accounts except for the Pilgrimage accounts.
.
8.Heirlooms. My mom got a set of beautiful vintage gold and diamond jewelery from my dad's aunt. However, she gave it away to her sister-in-law (My dad's sister). She also sold off all her gold jewellery. And finally, she gave away her diamond wedding ring to another sister-in-law (my mak long) coz she said the ring was purchased by my late grandfather and not my dad. She only keeps the engagement ring which is truly bought by my dad.
.
9.Wardrobe. My siblings and I still have many clothes coz my mom says we are still young and we need to enjoy wearing nice clothes. My dad has downsized his wardrobe from three wardrobes/closets? to two. My mom has downsized her wardrobe to a suitcase.
.
Gift. In the Miss Minimalist's blog, she writes that she prefers her friends' and family's presence over presents. However, my parents are the opposite of this. They like to give presents. However, they give practical presents only. I know coz when I travel with them, they already have a list of what presents to buy to whom. However, they hardly buy anything for themselves. And if their friends gave them money as a gift before their travel, they'd use the money to buy presents for the friends and not spent it on themselves.
.
Perfume. This is another item that we can't do without coz we Muslims must wear perfume. So, my dad would spend on this.But when I read Miss Minimalist's post on perfume, I think we have to reconsider. Actually my mom went without perfume for many years before coz she said perfumes contain skatool (something which is derived from human or animal waste (human stooll???) which takes up the smell of the perfume a notch or so (correct me if I'm wrong), so it's haram and cannot be used when praying. Nowadays she uses perfumes which are made in Saudi Arabia. I wonder if the perfumes contain skatool or not.
.
There are also other items but those are also against what Miss Minimalist wrote. I'll continue to update on this when I've got the idea hokay.
.
Happy living.
Peace

*Sorry, the spelling is Skatole (I've looked up Wikipedia).
You know, I browse 'The Simply Luxurious Life' blog everyday and tonight I saw the writer mentioned the 'Miss Minimalist' blog. When I took a look at the blog, I feel very excited coz my mom has been practising almost all of what she suggested. So maybe I can call my mom, Mrs Minimalist huh?
.
Anyway, these are some of the items that are similar to what my mom does:
.
1. Sleep on mattress on the floor. My mom got rid of the bed after baby bro died.(There's a story behind this, but I'll tell you later). However, we children still have our own beds.
.
2. Have naked windows. (Yes, the bay window in our hall is naked, coz dad put up blinds at the deck. However, my mom has purchased a curtain last week and it will be ready next week. When I asked my mom why she suddenly feels that we need a curtain, she says she'd like to draw the blinds to get the lights in.However, she said she bought the cheapest material and it cost her only RM96.00. (Some of my neighbours have curtains which cost thousands of ringgit and I think it's a waste of money. I'd rather spend it on a holiday, don't you?).

On Deepavali and Wedding
Asalamualaikum wbt and peace be upon you,
Today is Deepavali or the Festival of Lights for the Hindu worshippers. So, it's a national holiday and many people have gone back to their kampungs (hometowns) for the long holiday breaks. There's nothing much going here at my place except for the occasional sounds of fireworks blasting our eardrums.
.
Today I went to a wedding in Shah Alam. My dad's client's son was married. My family when with all of them during a family trip to the National Park last year. Dad's client is a rich man. He lives next to the Sultan of Selangor's palace.
.
Anyways, I'm not really into weddings but we have to go when invited. My mom didn't go however coz she doesn't feel well. The cold triggers her asthma again. Mom has been getting this asthma attacks after my baby brother died. The doctor said it's stress related. Actually she develops not only asthma, but also high blood pressure, diabetes and gastric. However, after she learnt that she's got all those problems, she cuts back on our salt intake and now her blood pressure level is back to normal. She also took traditional herbs to cure the diabetes and it works. The gastric and asthma come and go. Sometimes her stomach would become bloated like she's 8 months pregnant. The weird thing is, she does not feel any pain.
.
My mom said, maybe she had already developed all the problems even before baby brother died. That's why she was always very very tired. However, because she was only concerned about my brother, she did not go for a check-up on herself, and she has been regretting it ever since coz she feels that she did not take care of baby bro the best she could due to her tiredness.
.
Why did I tell you all these? Coz today (13/11/2012) is my baby bro's birthday and I think that's the main reason why my mom didn't want to go to the wedding, and that's also the reason why she's got her asthma attack today, coz she has been thinking about baby bro a lot.
.
Happy living

Next Stop, Please!!!!!
Assalamualaikum wbt and peace be upon you,
What is this title about? Well, actually, I am wondering out loud where to go during my school hols!.
.
Do you know why? Coz it's raining cats and dogs EVERY SINGLE DAY!. How are we gonna have a holiday in this weather?
.
I should be thankful to God right. Yes, I am thankful. I'm not fretting actually. Just taking it as a challenge.
.
My mom said I should go out after midnight and drive around KL where all the homeless people can be seen. Where do they take shelter in this weather, I have no clue. But that's what my mom said when I complained to her about this weather.
.
The only reasonable place to go to this hols is my grandparents' house in Penang. I can't go to Cameron Highlands in this weather. Fraser's Hill is out of the question. The beaches are dangerous this time of the year. Or I can just stay home and lepak in front of the TV.
.
I go to sleep feeling cold and damp. It's even colder downstairs because of the marble floor.
.
When we go to shopping complexes, the aircon is unbearable.
.
Sometimes it rains so hard I feel like I'm living under the ocean and I'd imagine seeing schools of fish swimming outside my window.
.
The cold also makes me hungry more often.
.
Driving is also dangerous in the rain. You should see how the tropical rains are. They are really really rude and furious.
.
It is still raining now (12.32 am). I wish you can hear the rhythm of the raindrops falling on the roof.
.
Emm, maybe I should change the title to.....Holidays in the Rainy Season??? (I'd prefer to call it the Autumn Season, wayyy cooool don't you think? And I'd imagine myself running along the street of London in the rain, like what my mom said she did when she was there). Emmm, London is like a million years away. For now, I just have to be thankful to be able to enjoy the rains in Puchong :) (Hoping that one day Puchong will be as glamorous as London...*SIGH*) (Thinking about how joyful it was when me and sisters and baby bro played in the rain years ago).
.
Let's enjoy the rain, wherever you are.
Peace

Easy Spanish Recipes
Assalamualaikum wbt and peace be upon you,
Since my dad had just come back from Spain, I've been digging into my mom's cookbook and found this recipe which I think is very simple to make (though I've never done it, sorry haha).
.
Spanish Cold Vegetable Soup (Gazpacho)
1/4 kg tomatoes
2 peppers
1 clove garlic
5 tbsps oil
150 g bread crumbs
Crush the garlic and chopped pepper in a mortar with a little salt. Add the tomatoes which have been cut into pieces and the moistened bread crumbs.
.
When everything has been well crushed, add olive oil little by little, stirring continuously. When it has been absorbed, add cold water and then strain it off. Add vinegar and salt and serve very cold with croutons as accompaniment.
.
The next recipe looks mouthwatering, so I'll share it with you also. I'll google the pix later hokay.
.
Chicken with a Tomato and Pepper Accompaniment (Pollos a la chilindron).
2 chickens, 600 g each
4 large tomatoes
4 small green peppers
1 large onion
2 dl oil (don't know what dl means, so don't ask me :))
150 g fresh ham (Muslims don't take ham, so maybe we can substitute if for beef or something).
1 glass of wine (we don't take wine also, so grape juice maybe??)
Seasoning: garlic, chilli pepper, salt.
The chicken joints are sauteed until they turn golden brown and then put aside.
.
Prepare a fried mixture of tomato, green pepper, onion, chilli pepper and plenty of chopped garlic. Put the chicken and the fried mixture together and cook for five minutes. Then add thinly sliced semi-cured ham and cook for another five minutes. With the ham a small glass of wine may be added.
.
That's all. Happy cooking.

Dad is Back from Madrid
Assalamualaikum wbt and peace be upon you,
My dad has returned from Madrid last Wednesday with AD's late grandma's belongings. My dad went to Madrid recently to assist in the speeding up of the process of bringing back AD's grandma's body who died at the Barajas Airport, Madrid on Wednesday the previous week..
.
Last night AD's parents came to my house to collect the stuff and AD's grandma's body arrived at the KLIA airport yesterday (Friday) and the burial was held on the same day.
.
It is sad to talk about deaths and I've been doing many searches on this topic since my baby bro died. Muslims believe that when we die, our souls don't die, we'll just migrate to a new world called the Barzah. This world has already existed and in the Quran it says, there's a wall between this world that we are living now and the world of the dead. so we can't communicate with them. However in many religious books, we can actually communicate with the dead - in our dreams. I know about this because my mom bought lots of books on death and resurrection after my baby brother died. (because we believe that when we sleep, we actually die).
.
However, I'd like to share with you that within the first 100 days of my little brother's death, we could actually feel and hear him even when we were awake.My lil' sis and I could hear him call "Mama" a few times. And there were also strange happenings like, when my mom's friends came to say their condolences and my mom started telling them about his death, the door of the room next to the living area started to move three or four times, like my brother was protesting or trying to tell my mom that he's still here.
.
One time, my mom's best friend, Aunty Mas came to visit my mom after the death. When she gave Salam outside our door, she said she could hear my baby bro's voice calling "Mama, mama", like he used to do when Aunty Mas came to visit (when he was alive).
.
Today, AD and his mom came to our house. Her mom brought some food for us.I heard my mom asked Aunty Farah whether she has dreamt of her mom or not, and Aunty Farah said no. I saw in my mom's eyes (she's wearing niqab) that she was sad. Maybe because Aunty Farah's mom is still unable to communicate with her or to tell her that she's ok on the other side. I don't know, but I saw that my mom was sad.But I bet Aunty Farah didn't know why my mom asked her that question.
.
Ok, enough about this. I'll write on something uplifting after this (you just wait).
.
Have a wonderful beautiful life

Holiday Is Here!
Assalamualaikumwarrahmatullahhiwabarakatuh dan selamat sejahtera semua.
( seingat-ingat saya, dah berbulan-bulan lama tak tulis dalam bahasa melayu ni!)
Haa, ni nak tulis. Cuti sekolah dah nak start. Mungkin sesetengah sekolah sudah mula bercuti. Tapi, saya masih mempunyai baki seminggu untuk bersekolah sebelum bercuti selama sebulan / dua bulan setengah.Kenapalah kami masih perlu pergi ke sekolah pada musim SPM ini ?! Seriously, we all need holidays. The longer, the better. Holidays that make our little mind / brain to rest? We all need that. Tidak kira bayi, kanak-kanak, remaja, dewasa dan warga emas. Kalau tak berehat macam mana? Ok , end of the topic. Remember, R.E.S.T . Hmm, where shall i start?
Straight to the point, apa aktiviti yang patut dibuat untuk mengisi masa ' tanpa pembelajaran' ? I shall make a list.
Ready for the list? Sedia eh?
~ SENARAI AKTIVITI YANG HENDAK DIBUAT PADA CUTI SEKOLAH AKHIR TAHUN~
1. Make sure tak tidur selepas solat subuh ( setelah fajar timbul? something like that.)
2. Write more interesting post in my blog. ( kesian, nanti apa readers blog ni nak baca kan cuti-cuti ni?)
3. Shopping ??? ( I'm not sure about it, nak kumpul duitlaa cuti ni.)
4. Study for next year topics. ( Should not be in the list. Boring but refreshing!)
5. A Penang Trip !
6. Cat bilik. ( because it is full of my lil sis's MASTERPIECES. Messy! Bukan nak lukis kat dinding bilik dia, bilik orang juga yang kena.) -.-
7. Kemas rumah ( hate to see my house untidy.)
8. Buy new clothes. ( school uniforms actually.)
9. Try to find a 'part-time job' ( "money, money, money, always honey in rich man's world" -ABBA . I'm not a rich person. That's why I need a job so badly. Not that bad actually. Ekspresi melebih-lebih yang ditunjukkan oleh penulis.)
10. Facebook-ing , Twitter-ing? ( I don't think so, naik lemak laa saya nanti.)
11. Go to Ikea! ( perabot untuk bilik! Make-over room! The best part!)
12. Relaxing. ( enjoy spend time with family & friends.)
13.Write a diary? (I don't write any diary since ages. The last time i wrote a diary when I was 10. I think so.)
14. Decorate / design my diary? ( It's time to unleash my diary!)
15. Decorate my room! ( So, i can show you all my room and also can do my own room tour and Vlogs!)
16. Watch TV? ( Seriously??!! THE WORST IDEA EVER!)
17. Last but not least,
Go to solat FIVE TIMES, DAILY at SURAU and Recite Al-Qur'an. ( the key of relaxing.)
Saya rasa itu saja. Kalau ada sesiapa nak ajak saya lepak-lepak sambil relax, just contact me through facebook ok? Saya dah letih menulis , nak tercabut tangan dibuatnya. Saya berhenti sampai disini saja ye.
Lastly,
" PENUHILAH CUTI SEKOLAH INI DENGAN AKTIVITI YANG BERMANFAAT , selain balik kampung laa. Trust me, It's WORTH it.) Bye. Enjoy your day!
Love,
Daniel Zaydi.
12:58 p.m.
I'm cute right? * letak tangan atas bahu*
(p/s: I'll be missing the school even though I hate it so much!)

14. Decorate / design my diary? ( It's time to unleash my diary!)
15. Decorate my room! ( So, i can show you all my room and also can do my own room tour and Vlogs!)
16. Watch TV? ( Seriously??!! THE WORST IDEA EVER!)
17. Last but not least,
Go to solat FIVE TIMES, DAILY at SURAU and Recite Al-Qur'an. ( the key of relaxing.)
Saya rasa itu saja. Kalau ada sesiapa nak ajak saya lepak-lepak sambil relax, just contact me through facebook ok? Saya dah letih menulis , nak tercabut tangan dibuatnya. Saya berhenti sampai disini saja ye.
Lastly,
" PENUHILAH CUTI SEKOLAH INI DENGAN AKTIVITI YANG BERMANFAAT , selain balik kampung laa. Trust me, It's WORTH it.) Bye. Enjoy your day!
Love,
Daniel Zaydi.
12:58 p.m.
(p/s: I'll be missing the school even though I hate it so much!)
