<br />
It was around 6.45 pm when I left home to go for the Reclaim Your Heat event at MATRADE, KL.<br />
As usual, the roads were pretty jammed with cars heading back home.<br />
It was at the PKNS BBBangi junction.<br />
The T-junction there.<br />
<br />
I saw this one Viva, purple in colour heading fast from the opposite lane, wanting to turn to his right. <br />
<br />
I was driving straight so he had to wait for me.<br />
But as I was not driving at a faster speed, he thought he could make it into the junction on his right.<br />
<br />
What he DID NOT see was that there was a motorcycle in front of me on the left!<br />
<br />
The Viva driver sped like hell and turned and BAMMM!<br />
He crashed right into the motorcycle!<br />
<br />
ASTAGHFIRULLAH! OMG!<br />
<br />
WHAT DID I JUST SEE?<br />
<br />
BAM!!<br />
<br />
The Viva stopped at once. Screeeeeetttt!<br />
And yeah, the motorcyclist was thrown in the air and there he was, lying on the floor.<br />
<br />
It happened like for a split second. Like lightning like that.<br />
Ya rabbi. It happened right in front of me, with these 2 eyes of mine. I saw everything perfectly. :(<br />
<br />
The motorcyclist was just riding in front of me minutes ago, and then, there he was, lying on the floor, IN PAIN!<br />
<br />
Stupid Viva driver.<br />
You seriously do not have any road etiquettes at all!<br />
How could you speed at a junction without looking properly if there were any cars or motorcyclists?<br />
<br />
SERIOUSLY.<br />
<br />
I drove by and I saw the man (probably in his teens or twenties) lying on the floor.<br />
Still with his helmet on. THANK GOD.<br />
But from what I saw, he must have had severe internal damage, if not broken bones whatsoever.<br />
<br />
Ya Allah.<br />
<br />
It made me realized that, sometimes, ANYTHING could happen in just a split of a second.<br />
No matter where you are, how careful you are, but if Allah wants to test or make something happen to you, He can do it.<br />
Just by saying, BE. and be it.<br />
<br />
Ya Allah,<br />
I seek refuge in you in whatever I do.<br />
And please protect and have mercy on my family and friends, as well as myself, from those kind of accidents howsoever it may be.<br />
<br />
Ameen.<br />

My, how time flies. It feels like just yesterday I peeked through my bedroom window watching the New Year's fireworks celebration. hehe. It wasn't that spectacular, but still OK laaa.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, 2011 has truly been one hell of a year! There were times when life was super awesomeeeee and there were also times when it was just rough and crazy! So many things happened, good and bad. I made new friends, did a few crazy things I never thought I would do, received too many gifts that I really really am grateful of, traveled to many places that I've never been to, graduated from uni (yay!), lost a few pounds (no, this did not happen! haha) and so much more! </div><div><br /></div><div>Taking a look back, the first few months, I spent most of my time deciding what I wanted to do with my life. As I just finished with my degree, I was really looking forward to start working. As an engineer perhaps? haha. I really cant decide. I went job hunting for few weeks, applying to various companies (honestly, x lebih 10 pun! hihi), but NONE replied! pfft. I registered on SPA too, but did not receive any calls. Plus, the dad urged me to continue with masters. Since I also have the dream to become a lecturer / researcher, I thought why not? Well, I'm almost done with 1st sem already now. :)</div><div><br /></div><div>Not long after that, I received my 1st car! I was way tooooo happy when dad told me he was going to buy me one. Since he was the one buying, he got to choose which car. Well it didn't really bother me that much as long as its my own car. hehe. vroomm~ But little did I know, that owing a car means more money to spend to maintain it. heh. happy sekejap je la. Then, had to isi minyak every week, pergi hantar servis apa semua, terbang duit! That meant less shopping for me! haiyaaa. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T6x0rabuJY8/Tw3HSomlK_I/AAAAAAAAB-8/e7nYfurlMkc/s1600/money-fly.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T6x0rabuJY8/Tw3HSomlK_I/AAAAAAAAB-8/e7nYfurlMkc/s400/money-fly.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5696428226644356082" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 163px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>In march, it was Graduation Day! I didn't fly all the way to Adelaide, though that was the initial plan. I chose to graduate in Singapore for some reasons. Anyway, the whole family came along. Thank you so much to Uncle Rosdi and family for having us that time, and also for touring us around Singapore. heeee :) </div><div>oh and I hate my graduation photos coz wearing that robe made me looked like as if I weighed 100kg. dannngggg. </div><div><br /></div><div>And then came April. I went to Vietnam for the first time. Together with my aunts+uncle who were involved in the clothing business. This was the start that I realized I reallyyyy wanted to have my own business! As in having a real shop/boutique. I loveeee selling clothes coz then I can take whichever I want for myself too. heheee. :P </div><div>Well it was a fun trip overall. Fun fact about Vietnam: People over there use motorcycles as the main mode of transportation. The number of motorcycles on the roads were massive! Plus they're really noisy. Everybody's like bunyikan hon masing2. PIN PIN PINNNNN! And if u observe how they drive on the roads, its as if macam xde rules jalan raya je. main masuk suka hati je lane, kereta/motor in all directions, etc. crazyyy. But its amazing that no accidents seemed to occur! </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Px6bY-sMQ9k/Tw3Hu95MP6I/AAAAAAAAB_I/GvLs8r8rzpw/s1600/img_1539_traffic-in-saigon-ho-chi-minh-city-part-1-vietnam-road-junkie-snippets-132.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Px6bY-sMQ9k/Tw3Hu95MP6I/AAAAAAAAB_I/GvLs8r8rzpw/s400/img_1539_traffic-in-saigon-ho-chi-minh-city-part-1-vietnam-road-junkie-snippets-132.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5696428713395896226" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">packed!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Another big event in 2011 was me and Aisyah teamed up to be business partners and start our own online shopping site. We drafted the plan for like 1 month plus, and then had it going for like a few months. haha. At 1st, we're like really geared up and excited to run it, but then since both of us had too many commitments during that time, we survived for only 3-4 months. But it was a good experience though. Let me reveal the site for the 1st time on my blog. Jeng3. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">www.shopaholiclove.com</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Heee. Tapi dah x update dah so sila jangan order. :P</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Halfway through 2011, I started to indulge in running events. Thank youuu cik Yasmin Ayub coz you were the one that introduced this to me. hehe. So far I've only managed to do 10k runs. Still not fit enough to do more than that yet. Will see how it goes in 2012! hehe. :)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">And then, there's Ramadhan and Syawal! My first time puasa and raya in Malaysia after 4 freakin' years! It felt gooooooood, but I can't deny the fact that I really do miss spending eid in Adelaide. Riding the WBR 495, going from one house to another, visiting friends and makan2.I really2 miss those moments. T_____T</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Mtz-u1DtwJA/Tw3L7pj_k5I/AAAAAAAAB_U/3VSFnb-Z3D0/s1600/DSC_0040.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Mtz-u1DtwJA/Tw3L7pj_k5I/AAAAAAAAB_U/3VSFnb-Z3D0/s400/DSC_0040.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5696433329323086738" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Our very own WBR 495</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div>After raya, me and the mum went for a trip to Bandung+Jakarta together with my aunts+uncle again. Shopping was heaven! hehe I was like grabbing all the things I liked in the shops, spending till the very last rupiah I had with me. :P </div><div>The Indonesians were very nice and friendly too. Their customer service was superb. The staffs in the shops were all friendly and warm. Teringat zaman kat Adelaide dulu, almost everyone was friendly. The sales person will always greet you and they wont follow you around like you're going to steal something from the shop. seriouslyyy. haha. Anyway, the best thing in Bandung was the brownies! The famous brand is Kartikasari, and I ate one box of brownies, MYSELF. sedap gilaaa kott. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t3CRg989rTQ/Tw3Pc_WMCkI/AAAAAAAAB_g/bBSbe3RczXk/s1600/photo.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t3CRg989rTQ/Tw3Pc_WMCkI/AAAAAAAAB_g/bBSbe3RczXk/s400/photo.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5696437200641329730" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">omg droooooooools!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, one of my achievements in 2011 was I learned how to play the guitar! Now I know how to play Buat Aku Tersenyum by Sheila on 7. yayyy! but I still have to practice more though. kadang2 main, salah chords, terpetik salah, etc. But when I get to finish the whole song without any mistakes, I feel really satisfied man. hehe :D</div><div><br /></div><div>OK, moving on. </div><div><br /></div><div>By the end of 2011, I had the chance to go to Singapore! hehe. Went to Universal Studios and it was super awesome! One thing I regret though; I forgot to bring along flip flops so I had to wear wedges that were like 3 inches tall. There's no need to explain how painful my ankles were. Everytime we had to queue and stopped walking, I would take off the wedges and stand with just my bare feet. Siyes sakit gileee. </div><div>Anyway, I stayed over at Mak Sham's place. Her condo was really nice and she has her own lift that opens up straight into her house. Best gile. When I was a kid, I've always wanted a house like that. haha. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ao4-dLwMjTQ/Tw3T_ILe6wI/AAAAAAAAB_s/vFO8sJGMzc4/s1600/DSC04157.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ao4-dLwMjTQ/Tw3T_ILe6wI/AAAAAAAAB_s/vFO8sJGMzc4/s400/DSC04157.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5696442185174412034" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">because I like jumping so much?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Not long after I came back from Singapore was my birthday! dangg i'm getting older each day.. can't we just get younger and younger everyday? tetibe teringat cite Benjamin ape ntah tuh. Ok, abaikan itu. Anyways, thank you thank you to those who wished for my birthday and also for those who surprised me with gifts + belanje makan etc. I feel so blessed! :) </div><div style="text-align: left;">And a very very very big thanks to my parents, who, gave me the best gift everrrr this year! Yes, I launched my very own clothing shop on my birthday. heeeheee. come come to Liyana Boutique located at WartaWalk Bazaar, Bdr Baru Bangi. jgn dtg tgk je, dtg shopping sekali kayy. :D</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So far, business is doing good. Its still too early to give stats on anything, but as far as I can see, it would be a success in a few more months. hehe positive thinking there! it really is fun to manage your own shop, and at the same time, be reallyyyyy exhausting. It may look easy, but you just have to experience it yourself to know how tiring it can be to deal with everything. Managing stocks, dealing with suppliers, finding workers, entertaining customers, decorating the shop, steaming the clothes, updating the display clothings, designing flyers, hanging up buntings and banners, etc etc. Anyhow, I still love the work albeit the tiredness. :)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Wohooo OK done with the 2011 review.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">And now comes 2012. Well, it has been a good start so far. I went hiking at Gunung Angsi last weekend. It was quite tough, I must say. 4 hours going up, 2 hours down. fuhh. I had sore muscles for like 3-4 days! But I really did feel the satisfaction when we all reached the summit. heaven! :D am really looking forward for the next hiking trip! Most probably, we'll be going for the Skytrex adventure first, end of this month. See how la. if jadi, besttttnyeee! heeehee cant wait! :D</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w_46lZKQqKc/Tw3YyrTHXjI/AAAAAAAAB_4/EAAWdXgTdL8/s1600/IMG_2630.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w_46lZKQqKc/Tw3YyrTHXjI/AAAAAAAAB_4/EAAWdXgTdL8/s400/IMG_2630.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5696447468821503538" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, since its a new year, I've come up with my own version of new year's resolutions. hehe. So for 2012, some of my resolutions are: </div><div><br /></div><div>jeng3....</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>1. To finish ALL lab experiments this year</div><div>2. To finish at least a half marathon </div><div>3. To save up money for travelling to any of these countries; Korea/Japan/Europe.or perhaps go back to OZ. hehe</div><div>4. To get back all the capital costs spent for opening up business within first half of 2012</div><div>5. To wear more loose clothes. Or probably just loose weight. So that all the tight clothes automatically become loose. haha :P</div><div>6. To be a better muslim. In many terms. </div><div>7. To get married? hahaha no laaa. kidding2. :P</div><div><br /></div><div>and soooo much more. but most importantly, to make each day better than yesterday. to look forward and be more positive. to appreciate the people around me and to look after the ones that I should give my fullest attention and care. </div><div><br /></div><div>As<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame- color:rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469);"> a whole, to be a better person, inside out. :) amin!</span></div>Liyana Jaafarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14187780146108267701noreply@blogger.com223tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38898832.post-28421349891749998032011-12-23T02:00:00.003+10:302011-12-23T02:10:38.764+10:30Iklan: kerja kosongSalam and helloooo~<div><br /></div><div>anybody looking for a job?

I haven't had the time (been busy with uni and business, cewah) to blog about it yet. hehe. So overdue right?<br /><br />I went in April to Ho Chi Minh City. It was actually supposed to be a learning trip for me, but I ended up shopping most of the time! hehe. They sell pretty cheap stuffs, you can't even resist! There was this market called 'Ben Thanh' Market where you can get shirts, jeans, handmade crafts and sandals etc etc at a VERY cheap price IF you know how to bargain. If not, you'll end up like me, buying a blouse that costs around RM35 which was supposed to only cost about RM10. sigh.<br /><br />I warn you if you wander around the market wearing your hijab, the sellers would automatically know that you're probably a Malaysian. Because they know Malaysians always go there to shop.<br /><br />Be prepared to hear dialogues like;<br /><br />"Kakak...kakak...kakak cantik...mari beliiiii...kakak mari beliiii"<br /><br />They kept on repeating 'kakaaakkkkkk' and then pull your hands towards them. Sometimes you just have to be strict and say NO. Otherwise you'll end up spending hundreds of dollars!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MHGY-VIrvug/TeT_WL9h2AI/AAAAAAAAB9E/k03J1BrhrnY/s1600/221892_1642447228622_1460094347_2142466_969976_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MHGY-VIrvug/TeT_WL9h2AI/AAAAAAAAB9E/k03J1BrhrnY/s400/221892_1642447228622_1460094347_2142466_969976_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612891792243546114" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Some of the rombongan people who shopped their lives out! hehe</span><br /></div><br /><br />Besides that, I also had the chance to visit the Cu Chi Tunnel. It was the place where the war between the Vietnamese and US armies took place. It was so cool seeing how the Vietnamese prepared their hideout place. They dug a zig-zag tunnel to prevent the enemy from directly aim their guns at them. Genius thinking! Plus, the tunnel was sooooo small that I can barely fit in! I almost felt like fainting due to excessive claustrophobic feeling.

(oops I actually meant: Himpunan Satu Juta Belia, Malaysia)<div style="text-align: justify;">Do you know what was the best thing about the National Youth Day Celebration in Putrajaya? the FREE SUPER JUNIOR CONCERT of course! My friends left home as early as 11am for Putrajaya. all because of we were afraid of not being able to 'cop tempat' where you can see the boys clear enough! hehe.<br /><br />Boy was it soooo hot yesterday! I was sweating like crazyyy! thank god for the air-conditioned surau where we sat there waiting for night to come. but anyways, it was a fun day indeed! there were many booths and exhibitions for the crowd to visit. TV3 also had their booths up; Wanita Hari Ini (i think!), kids@ tv3, news etc. And guess who I saw at the news booth? hihi it was the guy who reads the news for Buletin 1.30 tengahari. I cant remember what was his name, but what I know is he seems to be much good-looking in person! a really tall guy. the one with the mata sepet2 one. wohoo. handsome boleh tahan la! :P<br /><br />There were plenty more exhibits, so instead of bore you with my writing, I'll just let the pictures do the talking! :)<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-43fAcDI-MzE/TeIXU3BUhAI/AAAAAAAAB7k/ndVNWCrvEbU/s1600/DSCN0160.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-43fAcDI-MzE/TeIXU3BUhAI/AAAAAAAAB7k/ndVNWCrvEbU/s400/DSCN0160.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612073732791370754" border="0" /></a>honestly, it was scary seeing the armies in their uniform!

Dad invited my aunt who lives somewhere in Saujana Impian as well. It was actually a dinner for welcoming dad's friend. I can't recall what his name was, but what I know is that he's from Belgium, married to a Philippine lady. And they're here in Malaysia because he's got work-related stuffs to deal with over here. Well, I didn't get to converse much with the couple as I was sitting at the other end of the table (there were like 14 people altogether and dad allocated me to sit with the kids! I wonder if this should be a compliment or not! hehe)<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal">Well anyways, since it was my first time eating there, I’m thinking of writing a review of the place for those of you haven’t been there yet. The restaurant is quite clean and it’s suitable to go to if you want to bring people to an OK restaurant or have a gathering/reunion.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Customer service is ka-boom! Very good indeed! Foods arrived very fast, and there shouldn’t be a problem if you wanted to call a waiter (plenty of them watching over you!). Oh and I should add, all the waiters and chefs are men. (ehem ehem cuci mata sikit la..jk! :P) </p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal">As for the price, it’s a bit high in comparison with other restaurants. Mainly because they specialize in Western foods such as steak, lamb chop, pasta, etc. Even so, they do have traditional dishes as well like fried rice, fried kuey teow and so on. Recommended dishes would be Nasi Goreng Tok Mak, Spaghetti Alfredo and lamb chop. Do try! :)</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal">As for me, I had grilled lamb rack with black pepper and mushroom sauce! Hehe. The serving is quite large for me! I couldn’t finish my fries because I was so full with lamb already! Mbekkk mbekkk.. so full man! Sauce was yum, but the lamb was a littttlleeeeee bit overcooked for my liking. I would have loved it if it was medium cooked. Anyways, it wasn’t so bad. </p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal">For those of you who haven’t been to Islamic Kitchen, get your car now and go there! (this is a self-voluntary promotion.

Rauf</span> these past few days. Mom introduced me to this particular book after I showed her the 'The Secret' movie trailer. For those of you who have not heard about this movie before, it is actually a motivational movie (not action/ drama or romantic/comedy kind of stuff okay!) teaching us ways to improve ourselves to be a better person and achieve what we have always dreamt/thought of by applying the Law of Attraction in our daily life.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ciXokl3-9l4/TV4-pxPamkI/AAAAAAAAB5k/9Z-dWwngdj4/s1600/450secret.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 271px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ciXokl3-9l4/TV4-pxPamkI/AAAAAAAAB5k/9Z-dWwngdj4/s400/450secret.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574962276044806722" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">'We attract things that we think' </span><br /></div><br />Fret not, it's not that bad apparently. I know that motivational talks can sometimes be boring and such, but the way they presented it in The Secret was quite interesting!<br /><br />Since it is widely known that the Law of Attraction exists, there is a wide range of popular books to choose from to get in depth knowledge regarding this matter. That's why mom told me to read the book she told me to because it is written based on analysis from the Holy Quran itself. To be honest, my reading interest does not cover much on islamic/educational books. All that I am interested in reading include Twilight series, Sophie Kinsella's, Harry Potter etc etc.. you get it, don't you? hehe.<br /><br />But alhamdulillah, I am now starting to indulge into reading the 'good' books now. God knows how much mom feels glad. But of course, I am not doing it for her la! I read because I see it interesting and besides, what's there to loose anyway?<br /><br />OK well, what I have to share is, according to the Quranic Law of Attraction, there are 3 sources of energy; Prayer, Gratefulness, Patience. Always pray and ask only from Him, be grateful on what you have, and be patient in everything that you do, inshaAllah, your life will be better and you will get what you want. Well this is only ONE part (so don't judge anything based on only this!). You have to read the book yourself to get the idea of what I'm talking about here. hehe. Go grab it!<br /></div>Liyana Jaafarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14187780146108267701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38898832.post-18478159647869209152011-02-17T00:57:00.002+10:302011-02-17T01:07:30.061+10:30Larian Bangi Perdana 2011<div style="text-align: justify;">Anone out there fit and healthy enough to take on a challenge?

FOR GOOD this time! how fast 4 freakin' years fly just like that. I've finished my studies back in Adelaide, and now, I am waiting for my graduation ceremony this March will be held in Singapore. yay to me! After yearsss of endless assignments, tutorials, lectures, meetings and labs, I am finally home with a degree in Chemical Engineering. woohoo! All I can say is that it is worth the pain and torture.<br /><br />hehe, oh well it's not THAT bad though. 4 years of uni and living abroad gave me priceless experiences. I've made so many friends and I've learnt so many things, academically and also things that they don't teach you in uni; about life survival perhaps? Some were good and sweet and some were bad and bitter. But anyway, I will treasure all those precious moments forever and always. From all that, it has taught me to be who I am now. Alhamdulillah. :)<br /><br />And as for now, I am currently working and studying (again!) at the same time. Wish me luck! Besides that, I am really loving Malaysia right now. heh. Food is awesomeeee! I think I am absolutely gaining weight now. I probably should sign up for gym. *sobs* need to be healthy and fit you know!<br /><br />Btw, I have no pictures to upload at this moment coz I haven't been taking pictures for quite a while! Phone's camera is not working and heck, I am all in shirts and tracksuits these days! People might just think I'm still in secondary school when they see me.

(cewahh. scientific explanation gitu. lolzz. but heck, tetibe rasa cam condensation xde kaitan plak in this case). but then, u can see the difference kot between just haba from the engine and like real smoke coming from a hot surface as if like something is burning! and suddenly bau hangit kuat gilaaa. and the smoke that was coming out didnt fade away. makin banyak pulakkk! dah la time tu the speakers in the car were like roaring sebab pasang lagu kuattttt and i even adjusted the bass and tremble to the highest level to give the banging feel - gedebang- gedebunggg bergegar kereta tu dengan Bose punya sound system. ok, b4 i continue with the story, lemme tell u some facts about the car so that u'll understand the situation even more.<br /><br />Caprice, silver colour. baru 2 freakin days on the road. x sampai 1000 kms pun lagi guna! masuk2 pun bau leather seats....perghh..memang bau kedai! haha. everything in the car was automatically controlled. nak betulkan seats etc no need to use handle to push or pull. just tekan atas bawah je. all speakers pakai Bose punya siap ada central speaker and every sudut kot ade speaker. wehooo. that was the best thing for me. heh. and then what else..kat dashboard siap ada digital screen to tell the conditions of the car etc. parking sensors, central locking bla3 benda2 yg biasa la kat semua kereta ada. and yang paling cool, the backseat passengers bleh tengok tv because at the back of the front seats (bahagian kepala tu) there's a screen. so kira ada 2 screens la kat belakang. and utk yang duduk depan, tv ley tgk kat area tengah. there's a screen where the radio is there, cd player that can fit straight away 6 cd's etc etc. in my entire life, i think this is, by far, the coolest car that i have ever rode on. 2nd would be the Audi A4 yg boley bukak atap tu. haha. anyway, thanks la kepada encik tuan rumah kerana sudi meminjamkan kereta anda kepada kami supaya kami boleh pergi ke exam hall tadi. =)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2gklMOQGfnY/TCSwaFyGANI/AAAAAAAAB2Q/-cFqPkTYZfs/s1600/img_caprice_01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2gklMOQGfnY/TCSwaFyGANI/AAAAAAAAB2Q/-cFqPkTYZfs/s400/img_caprice_01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486704208319480018" border="0" /></a><br /><br />ok, back to the story. heee. (wuuuu this seems like a looooong post!)<br /><br />so, as it was a spanking brand new car, we never thought that something like this was going to happen! arghh so then as the smoke was getting thicker, i told the other girls that we should get out of the car. who knows it might explode or whatsoever. lolzzz. we were all panicking i tell u. my hands and legs were shaking. bbbrrr~ to make it worse, it was freaking colddd and it looked like it was about to rain. one of us then went to turn the hazard lights on. luckily there was this one car suddenly stopped in front of our car and a couple came out and took a look. diorang tengok2 and tolong buka the front bonnet. eeeee scary gilaaa! n they said, it was probably due to overheating la kot. coz then nampak leak air bocor keluar kat bawah. aiyohh! kereta baru pun wat hal. duh! then called the car owner and he said he was going to call the RAA (kalau kat Msia, AAM la kot). so we waited la in front of the car yg stranded kat tengah2 jalan tu. on the right lane was the tram lane. and jalan utk kereta from 2 lanes dah jadi satu. only God knows traffic jam nye cemaneeeee. da la friday night! n ada pulak manusia2 yg sungguh ler shallow minded (certain je la) bila tgk org pakai tudung sket, mula la nak discriminate. cakap swear words itu ini. eee bengang betul.<br /><br />we waited for like 20 mins jugak la for the car owner utk sampai. and when it was about to start raining, ada this one couple who was about to cross the road dtg and they asked whether we want to push the car off the road. letak tepi instead of tengah2 jalan and blocking lalulintas. thank god! phew~ at least xde aa malu dah terpaksa diri kat tgh2 jln and sambil org lalu, semua org pun nak stare je. aihh. not long after that, car owner pun sampai. he gave us another car n told us to go straight home. phew~ at last.<br /><br />then he told us yg actually ada satu hose tu tercabut. so water leaking n then engine tu overheat la agaknya. xdela apa pun. i think it was because of the cold weather, thats why nampak asap berkepul2 tebal gilaaa keluar cam nak terbakar je kereta tu. lolzzz. cuakkkk gilaaa kott. =p<br /><br />so that was the 1st time something like that ever happened to me in Oz. haih. and hope there'll be no 2nd times for this one. anyways, the discrimination that i felt somehow made me even more homesick. aaaaaa. tolong laaaaa. just setengah tahun je lagi b4 nak balik for good! cannot waittttt! cepatla masa berlalu. :(<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />p/s - so sorry for the jumbled up words. too tired and sleepy and dizzy to write actually. wanna go to sleep now. kejap lagi dont 4get to wake up for the soccer match eh. Portugal vs Brazil. go portugal! go go go! :DLiyana Jaafarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14187780146108267701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38898832.post-66427198109358217562010-06-04T18:45:00.002+09:302010-06-04T18:57:09.162+09:30winter syndromemy head hurts real bad right now that i feel like throwing up all the food i just ate. seriously, this pain is killing me, literally.<br /><br />it has always been like this everytime winter approaches. when you're in the house, you feel slightly hot because the heater's on. when you go out, the cold weather bites you. hot cold hot cold hot cold. and in the end, what do you get? a massive headache! =(<br /><br />i fell like crawling under the quilt and go to sleep now, but, i've got one more freaking report to be done! *sigh*<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">ok, bye. nak pegi telan panadol 10 biji.</span>Liyana Jaafarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14187780146108267701noreply@blogger.com0
