UPSR Datang Lagi

Selamat menghadapi peperiksaan untuk Capika dan Cikgu Anis yang ajar kita buat blog nih. Semoga dipermudahkan semuanya esok, 11 September 2012. Buat elok-elok eh. Dan berbuih-buih dah Kak Ina/Mak Lang pesan baca selawat banyak-banyak, baca doa penerang hati tu tiap-tiap hari dan sebelum jawab soalan peksa tu. Kalau soalan tu susah, jawab yang senang dulu. Nanti patah balik kat soalan yang susah tu. Last-last kalau tak tau jawab gak, jawab jer la apa-apa kat atas kertas tu asalkan nampak macam logik dan sesuai... biar ada usaha di situ. Mana la tau cikgu pemeriksa kertas tu lembut hati nak bagi markah usaha... ha mana tau. Kalau soalan objektif tu, fikir sebaik-baiknya juga sebelum jawab. Kalau dah habis fikir tapi tak pasti juga, ha baca Bismillah dulu sebelum tanda mana-mana jawapan. Untung sabut timbul, untung batu tenggelam, untung ada rezeki mengena la jawapan tu.

 

Berdebar-debar gak ni walau pun bukan kita pun yang pergi periksa esok. Baru la faham hati cikgu-cikgu yang mengajar kita dulu. Anak murid yang nak pergi periksa, cikgu yang tak senang duduk. Kalau lihat anak-anak didik berjaya, mesti rasa puas dan gembira juga. Gembira sebab lihat usaha berhasil, gembira tengok orang berjaya.. yeayyy tapi mana-mana yang kurang berjaya pun janganlah bersedih... usaha lagi, dan lagi dan lagi. Mana tau berkat usaha dan doa, kita akan jadi lebih berjaya dari orang lain suatu hari nanti.. di dunia dan akhirat. Seronoknya....

Rumah Terbuka

Sekejap jer masa berlalu. Ingatkan nak masuk macam-macam entri pasal peristiwa dan aktiviti di bulan puasa. Apakan daya tak sempat.. Insya Allah bila-bila masa rasa macam nak tulis, bleh jer tulis kat sini. Takder sapa akan marah pun. Memandangkan kita masih berada dalam bulan Syawal, apa lagi aktiviti rayalah. Sesi bermaafan yang paling utama, pastu sesi ziarah menziarahi kemudian diikuti sesi makan-makan. Sesi tengok cerita raya kat tv? Itu pun best juga tapi kene letak keutamaan kat sesi-sesi yang awal2 tadi la.. Bukannya apa. Sesi bermaafan ni walau pun kita selalu diingatkan untuk bermaaf-maafan pada hari lain pun, bukanlah sesuatu yang mudah kadang-kadang. Kadang-kadang la. Kadang-kadang dosa kita sesama manusia ni terover sikit daripada biasa. Lamaaaaa baru berani nak pergi minta maaf kat orang yang kita dah buat salah tu... Yelah kita pun manusia yang lemah juga. Apa-apa pun marilah kita selalu bermaaf-maafan..yang sengaja dan yang tak sengaja (sempat lagi nak bagi alasan tu). Mudah-mudahan kalau kita bersedia memaafkan kesalahan orang, begitu juga orang kepada kita.

Raya kali ni makin lama rasa makin tak kenal orang. Sebabnya, makcik-makcik dan pakcik-pakcik yang jumpa masa kecik-kecik dulu ada yang masih ada, ada yang sudah bertemu dengan Penciptanya. Lepas tu jumpa dengan anak-anak diaorang. Insya Allah ramai yang kenal lagi tapiiii kalau sampai ke generasi Y, Z dah tak cam lagi. Kadang-kadang dah tukar-tukar nama, tukar-tukar rupa. Rasa cam ultraman atau pun Power Rangers. Rasa macam si abang rupanya si adik. Takpun rasa macam si adik rupanya si kakak. Takpun ingatkan ini anak Mak Ngah rupanya anak Mak Ndak.. takpun ..ermmmm nak panggil apa eh pakcik/makcik ni. Macam mana dia bleh related dengan mak ngan ayah.. Haaaaaaaaaaaa apsal bleh jadi camni? Cuba teka. Cuba teka. Antara sebab utama, dulu malas nak pegi raya rumah sedara mara. Ha ni lah jadinya kalau masa time sekolah dulu nak mengadap tvvvvvvvvvv jer time raya, takpun malas nak ikut orang tua pegi beraya. Ha kan dah tak kenal.

Apa-apa pun walau pun tak berapa nak kenal.. Sesi makan tetap on kan, kan, kan. Jadi inilah sesi yang paling ditunggu-tunggu. Tiap-tiap rumah mesti ada menu special termasuk la rumah kita. Raya ni selalu masak rendang, ketupat dengan kuah lodeh/kuah kacang. Ha tetiba abah suruh masak nasi beriyani di pagi hari raya pertama.. Ha ameekkk kaw.  Ini mesti penangan cubaan nasi tomato yang telah berjaya direalisasi dan dihabiskan masa bulan puasa hari tu.. Walau pun target nasi beriyani belum berjaya dicapai sampai hari ni walau pun dah raya ke 21, misi tu akan diteruskan jugak.. tak kisah lah raya haji pun bolehhhh... yang penting walau pun rumah kita tak jadi angan-angan resipi yang kita nak buat tu, yang penting orang ajak raya kita pergi la... tolong dorang rasa, tolong komen makanan, tolong habiskan, tolong tapau errrr tolong kemas pun ada juga. Yang paling tak seronok pegi sesi makan-makan nih ialah kalau tuan rumah tu letak serbuk perasa yang melampau dalam makanan yang dihidangkan. Alahai, kalaulah macam tu lah kejadiannya, maka balik rumah akan terseksa la jiwa dan raga. Pening kepala tak usah cakap la. Kalau nasib tak baik lagi, maka sakit perut dan sesi bermesra dengan tandas la jawabnya. Uhuksss

Cough.. cough.. cough

It has been nearly a month that I've this cough..At the beginning, it was so terrible that I lost my voice for a day. Still I didn't go to hospital for no reason..heheheh actually at first I thought it would quickly recover maximum after 3 days.. Unfortunately, it didn't happen as I expected. Consequently, I lost my voice after 4th days having the cough. I went to hospital only after my sister scared me with her story that the cough might tear off my throat  and made my voice disappears forever. Immediately after listening to her scary theories (as well as stories), I went straight to hospital. My cough didn't go immediately even after I completed my medication. Dunno what's wrong with my throat. Never experience this kind of cough before. Nevertheless, the people around me have kindly provided me with many interesting (some but not all are quite effective for me) tips to get rid of the cough.. I know some of them through my late mom and grandma but there are other tips that I just knew...  Hmm, these are the tips that I've gathered from people around me..I think it is useful to put them here so that I can refer to the tips in the future. Here they are;;;

i. Drink, drink, drink, drink a lot of water of course... heheheh this was definitely the first instruction that I received,

ii. While drinking a lot of water, drink a quarter of glass of warm water with a spoon of manuka honey mixed with apple vinegar 3 times a day,

iii. Some suggested to take a lot of warm water mixed with lime juice,

iv. Some suggested to gargle the throat with water mixed with salt as frequent as possible.. errkkk I've tried but I don't like the feeling.... 

v. Then, I may wish to try to take a table spoon of soya ketchup mixed with lime juice as many times as I could (this one I have yet to try. I think it would be tooooo salty for me. Dare not try the tip yet)

vi). Take as much ice-cream as possible. The ice-cream should be the smooth one eg Haagen Das, Baskin Robin, vanilla ice cream bla, bla bla as long as it is creamy and smooth --- this is the tip that I like most and the most tasty medicine I have ever had...heheheh

vii) Put medicinal sweet eg Dequadin, Lozenges etc in my mouth before sleeping. It helps to sooth the throat before and while sleeping. Actually, I was scared to try this tip at first. I was thinking that I would swallow the sweet and get choked while sleeping. However, after having problem to sleep because of the cough, I did try this tips and it worked for me. I started with a very small size of sweet which I had already sucked for a while. After a few nights, I became more confident to try with a bit bigger size of the sweet. Additional tip is that don't try this if you are too wild while sleeping heheheheh..

viii) Finally, the most common instruction especially from a doctor is... finish your vitamin C tablets prescribed as well as the antibiotic pills.. urghhhhh that what I hate most but need to do to kill the viruses ( I supposed so). 

Whatever it is, I am fine now.. Alhamdulillah..dunno which tips or medicines work for me but feel grateful that it was not any of serious diseases eg SARS, HINI etc. Please Allah, do keep me away from such diseases.. Aaaamin..

Craving For These Kueh :)

I met this auntie by accident. My younger brother invited me and other family members for 'majlis cukur rambut'. Dunno what to bring for the occasion. But doesn't feel right if we just 'touch and go' and only come for eating hehehheh.. Must have 'buah tangan' right. That's the customs or may be more appropriate. So, I searched the internet for people who sell traditional kuih and can accept orders within a short notice. I had called many numbers but most of them need at least 3 days notice until I call this makcik's daughter. I called them about 5 pm on Friday asking for the kueh to be ready by 10 am on the following day. They agreed and I ordered. It just to give a try and I dunno what else to bring. I am tired of cupcakes, tarts and cookies. And I need something else for a change. May be something more traditional. So, I picked up the kueh from the makcik at 10.15 am (heheheh actually I am the one who changed the time for 'technical' reason). At the very beginning, I just ordered lepat pisang and the makcik gave me pulut inti for free. After discovering the taste was awesome (less sweet but very addicting), I ordered karipap, cucur badak, roti jala and puteri ayu. Since then, when I feel like eating traditional kuih, I will just pick up the phone and call the makcik. Easy huh. coz I'm not that talented to prepare such traditional kueh..(another excuse for not cooking hehehehhe). So, here are some kueh that I have ordered (eat and finished). Enjoyyyy

   

Tiba-tiba Jadi Cikgu

Wahhhh.. can't believe it.. Tetiba jadi cikgu.. walaupun bukan cikgu sekolah, cikgu tusyen tak rasmi pun rasa dah macam jadi cikgu juga. Jangan tak percayaaaa... Percayalah..Macam mana bleh jadi cikgu ni? cer citer, cer citer..Asalnya pergi rumah makcik. Jadik ada la sorang kazen nih, namanya Anis,  akan amik UPSR tahun 2012 ni. Anis mana? Alah Anis yang mengajar aku buat blog memula ni la.Mama dia sudah fening sebab kat rumah asyik bergumpal dengan adik dia umo 4 tahun lebih..Nak daftar pegi tusyen, semua pusat tusyen dah penuh dan tak ambik pelajar tambahan lagi.. Caner nak buat ni? Sian la pulak tengok budak ni takder sapa nak guide dia. Sian kat makcik aku gak sebab dah macam nak kuar anak tekak suruh anak dia blaja. Memandangkan bebudak ni kira tahap kecik la untuk aku, maka dengan menggunakan kuasa kazen aka kakak yang ada, aku tanya dia nak tak aku ajar dia untuk UPSR ni walaupun dalam hati aku terpikir gak sama ker silibus aku dolu-dolu dengan silibus budak-budak sekarang... 

Aahhh silibus ni pikir kemudian la.. mesti tak susahnya setakat kalau pelajaran budak darjah 6. Anis tanpa ragu-ragu angguk kepala setuju aku jadik cikgu tusyen dia. Aku pun terus kasik homework kat dia, tapi mula dari awal la sebab aku pun nak kene blaja gak apa yang dorang blaja kat skola sebenarnya. Nampak macam simple jer. 4 subjek jerrrrr. Bahasa Malaysia, Bahasa Inggeris, Matematik dan Sains. Lepas aku kasik Anis homework awalan, aku pun pinjam la buku-buku latihan dia yang lain sebab aku pun kene gak tau apa tajuk-tajuk selanjutnya... Bila aku tengok jer silibus-silibus dorang, umangggg aiiiii. Susahnya. Aku rasa aku darjah 6 dulu pun tak blaja camni. Ni rasa macam dah tahap silibus tingkatan tiga time aku jer. Patut la dorang ni kene blaja extra harder. Lepas aku settle ngan Anis, balik dari umah makcik aku singgah umah kakak aku jap. 

Laaaaa baru teringat anak sedara sendiri pun nak ambik UPSR gak. Tanya plak dia sama ada dia nak join Anis masuk kelas tusyen aku. Sebab dia nih memang mak dia dah daftarkan kelas tusyen dekat umah dia. Dengan gumbiranya dia setuju. Dah agak dah. Mesti nak togeder-geder dengan 'anak sedara' dia yang sebaya dia tuh. Member kamceng la katakan. Nak jadikan citer, kelas tusyen aku tetiba jadik fofular. :) Aku dapat sorang lagi anak murid, anak biras adik aku. Sian dier nih. Ayah dah meninggal. Jadi aku dengan rela hati terima dia jadik anak murid aku kalau dia rela nak blaja ngan aku la. Hehehehhe cukup la tu tiga orang anak murid untuk permulaan ni yang ambik UPSR la. Ada sorang lagi anak sedara aku nak tusyen ngan aku gak katanya tapi baru darjah 3. Aku kata suka hati la. Aku orait jer. Senang hati tengok budak-budak bersemangat nak blaja bersungguh-sungguh. Terharu gak sebab dorang selalu kata aku 'menakutkan' hehehheeh tapi bila tanya dorang sendiri nak blaja ngan aku ke tak... nak la pulak budak-budak ni.. terharu, terharu.. Apa-apa pun aku pun kene blaja gak. Mencabar wehhhh mende-mende yang dorang blaja nih. Takper, takper. Secara tak langsung aku blaja gak.. Banyak ghupenya yang aku tak tauuuuuu... patutla jadi cikgu ni susah. Baru bleh rasa perasaan cikgu-cikgu kalau mak bapak dan pelajar-pelajar tak hargai penat lelah dorang. Cikgu yang dedicated la. Bukan cikgu yang tangkap muat asal buat jer. Bukan senang kan nak mendidik generasi akan datang ni. Nak memekik senang la.. Buka jer mulut tu dan keluarkan suara dengan setinggi yang boleh hehehhehe

Tahun baru, entri baru..

Hari ni dah nak masuk sebulan tahun baru.. tapi mungkin tahun baru tu rasa macam baru jer berlalu. Kat luar, bersahut-sahut bunyi mercun.. nampak cahayanya dari arah padang berhampiran..jiran-jiran tionghua masih lagi dalam suasana tahun baru china. 

Bila orang tanya apa azam tahun baru 2012? Apa rancangan? Kalau ikutkan dalam kepala ni rasanya macam-macam nak buat tapi tak tau mampu nak buat ke tak..apa yang penting ada azam ye doppp... dah niat lerr tu...kalau niat yang baik-baik, Insya Allah dapat pahala..kan, kan, kan... jadik sebagai peringatan kat diri sendiri dan untuk diperingatkan dek orang lain, rasa nak buat senarai check list sket la angan-angan tahun ni - antara angan-angan tahun ni:

i) nak jadi lebih baik dari tahun lepas dalam semua perkara;

ii) nak kumpul duit pegi umrah & haji, Insya Allah;

iii) nak jaga kesihatan - pegi bersenam selalu untuk ada stamina, bagi kuar peluh, kurangkan stress dsb;

iv) nak menambah ilmu memasak - concrete top dapur dah siap, jadik takder alasan lagi nak malas-malas; dan

v) nak tambah ilmu buat blog... bukan jer menggodek blog sendiri tp tolong godek blog org lain yg suh adjust blog dorang...

Ada lagi sebnarnya angan-angan tapi tak yah la letak kat sini... nanti macam poyos orang menyampah lak, takpun angan-angan tu masih di peringkat bayang-bayang, fikir-fikir & jengok-jengok lagik... apa-apapun, mudah-mudahan dan harap sangat, memana angan-angan yang baik tu jadik kenyataan... Aminnnn

Lunar Eclipse

Have you heard about this phenomenon before or even seen it before? As for me, to hear about it.. the answer is yes and to see it...no.. until yesterday... yeah, yesterday i supposed many Malaysians were waiting to watch this full lunar eclipse at selected locations or if they were lucky, they could even watch it without using any special binoculars or equipments for the event from wherever locations that it could be seen. I saw some announcements in the media earlier that the eclipse would start from around 7 in the evening on 10 December 2011 until around 1 o'clock in the next morning. However, I didn't pay much attention at first because it was Saturday. That day was just like any other Saturday when I spend my weekend at my parent's house. It was a special day though for one of my younger brothers, Tarmizi, as yesterday was his birthday. Really wish you the very best for your future and hope things will always be better, bright and positive.  Ok, forget about my younger brother's birthday. 

Talking about the lunar eclipse, I didn't realise that that night many people would do things associated with the rare phenomenon until my father returned from Isya' prayer at mosque. As the mosque is quite near from the house, earlier, I could hear the Imam recited a few long surahs like during tarawih in Ramadhan and I was telling myself that there might be special occassion at the mosque. Then, when my father returned, he told us that we were having a lunar eclipse that night and the people at mosques just performed sunnah prayer for the eclipse. He told us that he also learned and experienced new things that night about how to perform this solat sunnat.. It has 4 rakaat and the Imam has to recite a few verses from Surah AlBaqarah during the first rakaat. The verses recited for the second rakaat should be shorter than the first rakaat but longer than the third and the fourth rakaat. It also has khutbah like the one in Friday prayer...wahhh I also just know about this.. I thought it is just like any other solat sunah which normally has 2 rakaats...it is not.. so this occassion must be very special...very very special...

Indeed, it was very special. At first I didnt see anything on the clear sky except the stars and a few thin clouds moving slowly. As I ignited my car engine to return to my own house that night, my eyes suddenly found the moon and the eclipse was in full I supposed. It was around 10.30 - 10.45 pm. I could not stop myself from staring at the moon. It was so unique and so beautiful. The colours were combination of white, yellow and orange. The white colour part formed a crescent like shape while the rest had the mixture of yellow and orange colours. There were small dark or maybe brown dots on the moon. Really, I don't know how to decscribe it here but indeed the phenomenon amazed me and exciting. I watched this together with my father and my youngest sister. Unfortunately, I couldnt keep this special moment in the form of picture as I forgot to bring my camera....waaaa there I did it it again.. forget about important things when the opportunity is there and dont know when it will occur again...slap slap slap.. 

Whatever it is, I feel very happy and grateful about it especially when I found out that not all people who are waiting to see the phenomenon were able to do so. So stop complaining... be grateful for whatever you have and enjoy it whether it is big or small... it is because others might not even have it or only see it in their dreams...
