Is this how we act?

Yesterday, I was at a supermarket buying fruits. No doubt there was a lot of people queuing. Well, pay day sudah bah nie... In the hectic of queuing, there was a lot of people complaining if one is late in paying out the bills. There was this one lady with a basketful of grocery waiting for her turn. So, when it was her turn the cashier suddenly took our her kunyit without telling the lady. The lady was definetely surprise. So, she was what's wrong with it. The cashier, in a very impolite manner, answered it has no price tag. Well, as I was behind I could see clearly that it does have a tag. I gave a weird look that could be seen by the cashier. Thus, the cashier said harsly that the code for the kunyit is not in entered yet. I could sense that the lady was not very please with the explanation but being a very good lady, she didn't have the guts to answer back. So pity... the cashier should actually take another pack of kunyit to replace hers. Mana tau the lady is really in need of that thing. Moral of the story- be brave when this happen to you, remember, customer always right.

Is it global warming?

I hate the heat... even if it is raining but the heat is still there. Sudahlah it is difficult for me to sleep at night panas lagi. Double trouble. What is going on ah? Last weekend when I was at KK it was also the same. Panas juga...I wish I could do something about it. This morning, Traxx FM announced that the Earth Hour campaign was a success. Then, why is this heat? Berabis kah semua orang kasi on karan ni. Well, people be conscious about our environment. Jangan pandang ringan. If I were a minister, my manifesto is on Green World. Patut ni orang politik tau mau pandang ni hal. Jangan tutup mata saja....They have too many air-cons at home that can chill them down, hah! global warming lagi nie, but we people don't. Cukup dengan kipas ceiling yang mengeriut sepanjang masa. But all are facing the heat of the earth. Is it fair? Read more on global warming http://globalwarming.change.org

It is not safe anymore...

Sadly my once safe Taman Wawasan is not save anymore. Recently there are lots of robbery cases. Now I usually wake up around 2 a.m. checking on the house. Even the slightest sound can wake me up. Huh.. I guess no place is safe anymore. My place was once labelled as one of the safest taman, but now sorry lah.. tiada sudah Before you can leave the house with an open gate, none will be dare enough to disturb your area sekarang... hahahah.. tiada bah.. mana lagi mau tinggal ni...

What Makes A Malaysian A Malaysian

1. A typical young Malaysian can name all the players from a top English Premier League club, but ask him to name one football player from Malaysia, he cannot!
2. When StreamyX come, you complain StreamyX too slow. When Maxis Broadband come, you complain Maxis Broadband always disconnects. When WiMax come, you complain Wimax too expensive. In the end, you say StreamyX still the best lah.
3. When highway toll price increase, you complain. When petrol price increase, you complain. When you go Starbucks buy RM10 coffee, NO COMPLAINTS.
4. When you cannot find parking in a shopping mall and have to walk very far, you complain. When you go inside the shopping mall and there's SALE, run from one end of 1Utama to the other, that one NO COMPLAINT.
5. You are always late. And the excuse you give when you're late is always either: (a) traffic jam (b) no transport or (c) cannot find parking.
6. You have a parent who forces you to take science stream in high school, study engineering in Uni, then when you graduate, they ask you to forget everything you learnt in Uni and do commerce..
7. You know someone who can specially develop an angmoh accent when speaking to an American / British / Australian.
8. You complain against the government in kopitiam, you talk loud loud. Leave anonymous comments on blogs, you also talk loud loud. Attend ceremah by DAP, you shout loud loud. Then when Opposition organise a protest and ask you to go, you dun wan. Scared later kena tangkap by ISA.
9. Every year on the 30th April, you are one of the people below queuing up last minute to submit your tax return at the IRB.
10.. When you pay RM10 for something that costs RM1, you blame the Chinese.
11. When a government service is too slow, you blame the Malays.
12. When a building is not good and collapsed, you blame the Indians..
13. When a Chinese student won a scholarship, you say 'Wah! Very clever hor?' When a Malay student won a scholarship, you say 'Aiya! Of course lah! He Malay mah!'
14. When an angmoh stranger kisses you on the cheek to say hello, you very happy. When a Malaysian guy kisses you on the cheek to say hello, you slap him in face.

The Journey

Today, our school's KAT (Kejohanan Antara Teknik) team starts their journey. I wish them luck. Hopefully all of them will bring good news for the school. For few years I was involved in debate team. This year, I just stay at school editing scripts, writing the rebuttal part. Best plak stay at school. Less stress. Of course it was really enjoyable going to other schools particularly this year, at Kudat. I just hate the journey by bus going to places. It is really tiring and sometimes boring especially if you have "good-nerdy" students. Anyway, I'll pray for their success and hope that our debate team will be able to maintain their performance.

Why me?

Yesterday my car was knocked by a motorbike. Seorang Mat rempit yang tidak menggunakan mata dengan tepat telah menyondolku dari belakang. I wonder where did he put his eyes. Pecah lah lampu belakang sebelah kiri. Luckily, he didn't run away. The funniest thing is I don't know initially that it was me who was being knocked, but I was puzzled when everyone in a restaurant nearby keep looking at me. As if I was the guilty one. I tried to look from my left side mirror and my rear mirror but through my amazement I didn't see anybody. Rupa-rupanya ada terjatuh di jalan. Oleh kerana, ramai orang sibuk tengok aku yang berkaca mata hitam ni maka aku pun keluar lah dari kereta sibuk juga menengok apa yang terjadi. hancur berkecai hatiku... rupanya keretaku yang dilanggar. First thing on my mind is NOT TO BE PANIC. If I turned to be panicked I am sure this guy will look at me as fragile. So, I parked my car on the side and tried to talk to that guy. I can see that his motorbike got L, means he can't have another one with him. But, ada juga pemboncengnya. Soon, some of his gangs came. Hati kecilku berbisik hmmmm.... ini ada geng-geng kampung ni. However, since I know I was right so I keep reminding myself not to be afraid. I grabbed my handphone, yang baru diisi kreditnya, in case of emergency. I tried to talk with this guy who knocked my car by he didn't answer some of my questions. Instead, his friends are the one tht are busybody in answering my questions. Ok, so the guy concluded that only tomorrow, means today, he goes find me at school to pay the damage. I said I don't trust him thus, I want thing to be settled today. Ada la pula orang yang menyampuk workshop sudah tutup, aku jeling tajam dengan dia. Apa lah kalau bukan dia yang disoalan diam saja lah. It was already around 4.45 p.m. So, this guy said "Jadi Miss mau buat apa sekarang?" Apa punya soalan. Karang aku call polis terdiam juga kau sana. So I insist on going to the workshop. Okay, so he agreed. Another problem, how am I going to ensure he will bring me to the right place without running away suddenly. So, I took his IC in order for me to make sure that he would definetely go to workshop. Nanti rugi pula aku...On the way to workshop I call my fiancee to write about this guy IC number, his address, his full name, any other relevant answer. I'm afraid that nanti kena bawa plak di tempat yang tidak sepatutnya. After I called him, I called my friend. Kak Ros, whose hubby is a policeman. Na, mau security bah nie. They came for a recscue. Hehehe... Kena sayang bah ni. So, it is her hubby that settle on the situation. Well, I am not not good in cars... tau pakai jak... At last, all settle. Only today I got new lamp. Sayangnya lampu yang lama tu... Lesson to learn- NEVER GET PANIC! I was proud of myself for being able to be brave and not panic. Kudos to me.

Aku ni memang cikgu rupanya...

I just took a quiz from Facebook. I don't think it is really reliable. However, I still do it. Just for fun bah... The quiz is Pekerjaan Anda Yang Sepatutnya...it turns out that I should be a CIKGU....hehehehe... honestly, I never dream of becoming a teacher. I really want to be a lawyer. However, none of my family members or relatives granted me to be a lawyer. Kesian kan...Thus, I took TESL hoping to go oversea. Tapi tidak dapat jugak...Kesian betul... So here I am now being a teacher. Somehow, I learn to love this job. I have extra time... tapi only kadang-kadang lah now less free time, I learn about people; their type, character, personality and culture and etc.... Somehow,this quiz reminds me of my orientation week when I was in form four. We were asked to sit in circle and the fasilitator would intruct a person to write suitable job for respective student intructed on our back. The student who wrote on my back, wrote TEACHER for me... when I recap the scene... I keep on thinking.... Oh mungkin ada sudah ciri-ciri cikgu in me that I never realised. hehehe....

1001 Petua-Petua Ajaib

Due to my BIG day, again…., hehehe.. I’ve been worried about my hair. Afraid that it won’t look good. Besides, I start to lose my hair... Oh my gosh… another consideration to look at is my hair colour… It starting to show grey colour… Sign of ageing? Oh no… not that old! As I brought my students to the library, I saw this useful-easy book. KHAZANAH SILAM MANFAAT UNTUK KELUARGA 1001 petua-petua ajaib.. aha! The word ‘AJAIB’ captures my beautiful-big eyes… It is a new book at the library. I am the first one to borrow it. There are some easy ways that I can follow. Anyway, I always like this petua-petua stuff and never give up in trying it. It doesn’t matter whether it will work or not. After all there’s no harm in trying rather than wasting my money investing in chemical products that don’t work. Lemme share with you some of the ‘MIRACLE TIPS’

Masalah rambut beruban

Ambil sepuluh helai daun buluh, siat siatkan supaya halus, setelah itu sapukan rata pada rambut anda. Anda akan dapati rambut anda lambat ditumbuhi uban.

Atau

Ambil bunga tebu hitam (apa tu ah?) yang dimasak dengan minyak kelapa untuk minyak rambut anda.


Masalah rambut gugur

Ambil kulit tembikai, gosokkan bahagian putih pada kulit kepala. Lakukan satu minggu sekali, sehari sebelum mencuci…

Nah! Siapa sangka benda sekeliling kita banyak khasiat. Happy trying all…

p/s kalau mau lebatkan mana-mana kawasan berbulu di badan pun ada… hehehehe…
