Hari-Hari Yang Bermakna

It has been a while since my last post. I know people out there dok carut kat cheq sebab tak update blog dah lama. Nak kata sebok, sebok la jugak. Nak kata malas, well, malas pun sama banyak. Lets put it this way, sometimes I don't feel like writing anything. Sometimes tu, tergedik2 atas LRT nak balik rumah update blog. Senang cerita, cheq akan update blog as and when I feel like writing something, bley....??

Bulan ni, banyak benda berlaku. Yang paling recent is that my close friend from utara just had his weekend at my place. Sorry na uol sebab cheq ni bukan kaki merayap sangat, so tak bawak uol pi mana2. Asyik dok rumah, tgk TV and makan. Hope you had enough to eat...... lets get fat, gitu. Jangan serik datang lagi. Kalau tak ke mana, we ol sentiasa akan ada di sini.

And not forgetting, I just had my birthday yang ke 29 (yeah right..... matila kena carut lagi) pada 14hb yg lepas. I had a good birthday with org tersayang and close friends. Had some cakes and keropok lekor sempena trip ke Kuantan. I'd been there once long time ago but didn't actually had a good look around. Ala2 sampai pukul 4 pagi, pukul 9 pagi terus headed to Kuala Terengganu. Tak done (bak kata Bard) nak bersiar2. And my 2nd trip ni sempat la tgk Teluk Cempedak (selalu sangat tersasul sebut Guar Cempedak) and Beserah (teringat lagu Amylea, Ku Berserah...... matila AF lagi). Terlebih dahulu nak mintak mahap kat org Kuantan, tadak apa kat tempat hangpa. I had to do a day trip saja, balik tidoq kat KL.

*bodoh tak?? gimrama la kekdahnya........

*Pantai Teluk Cempedak............

*McD Pantai Teluk Cempedak....... having some light snack...... snack ke??

Bulan Februari pulak, pegi ronda2 Melaka during one of the wknds. It's good to get out of KL for a change. Bangun pagi, tatau apa nak buat, terus shoot ke Melaka. Experience yang interesting was, masuk Museum Maritime without realising that we had to pay for it. Strange thing was, no one there to stop us and there was also no signboard at the sides yang kata kena bayaq kalau nak masuk. So mana nak tau kan?? I love freebees.

*Muzium Samudera, Melaka.....


*One of the historical sites in Melaka...... nama apa pun tatau. Tak hengat.....

I just reached KL less than 30 minutes ago. Still penat lagi ni. I went back home last tuesday in a hurry. After talking to my bosses in the morning, they asked me to go back as my mind was not there anymore. It was my dad who was not in his best state of health.

During Chinese New Year's break, he was not exactly well. He convinced me that he would be fine after taking some medicine and I left for KL dengan berat hati. When I reached KL after the holiday, my sister broke the news saying that my dad was admitted to a specialist hospital. I wanted to go back again but she convinced me that my dad was not in a serious condition as the doctor wanted him to stay in hospital just for observation. Nothing to worry about.

I had been calling home every now and then, but failed to speak to my dad as according to my siblings, "Abah penat (lelah). Tak boleh cakap banyak". Siapa tak risau dan bimbang kalau everyday his condition macam tak berubah saja. The doctor said that my dad probably had bronchitis and his prostate got swollen again. But the doctor would examined and run some tests anyhow. Walaupun banyak kerja kat office dan most projects require their first drafts in February, I rushed back home, just to see my dad. As someone said, family comes first.

Alhamdulillah, he is recovering well at home now. Cuma batuk lite-lite and I hope I will sleep better tonight. He will still need to see the doctor for follow ups next week. Cuma masa cheq nak balik tadi, cheq sayu sangat. My dad said to me, "Anak menantu semua jadi susah sebab aku", sambil mengalir airmata. I didn't know what to say. Anak mana yang tak sayu melihat bapa dia mengalir airmata. Emo jap ***pause***

Along the way, I was listening to my MP3 collection in the car and lagu2 Rossa memang buat cheq lagi emo. Cuma satu lagu yang dah lama cheq tak dengaq and menarik perhatian cheq untuk share with you. Let us take a break for a while and enjoy the lyrics.

MAKIN AKU CINTA - ANANG & KRISDAYANTI

Caramu mencintaiku
Menjauhkan kecurangan
Seperti bintang, yang setia pada bulan

Memegang kukuh janji
Menemani aku sampai mati
Terpasung hati
Tulusmu mendampingi diriku

Makin aku cinta
Cermin sikapmu yang mampu
Meredam rasa keangkuhanku
(Mengerti, memahami cinta)

Caramu memanjakanku
Kau rujuki kesejukan pagi
Memasang hati, tulus aku
Memasrahkan diri

Jangan pernah terbesit hati
Meragukan kesetiaan yang tercurah
Aku dan dirimu, ditakdirkan satu
Langit jadi saksi

Xing Nien Quai Le

I am currently spending my long holiday at kampung in Kedah. Taking a good break away from work and KL. Di kesempatan ini cheq nak ucapkan pada friends and family, A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS CHINESE NEW YEAR. May years to come bring good fortune and happiness to all of you.

China - Part 3

Salut. Terlebih dulu cheq nak ucapkan selamat tahun baru, masehi dan hijrah. Maaf ye cheq dah lama tak update blog ni. Dah bersarang pun. I've been busy with work and personal matters. A lot of things happened to me for the past few weeks, either good or bad. All I can say is, I'm a lot happier now, walaupun schedule untuk year 2009 agak menakutkan. Tapi cheq tak ambik pot sangat. One thing at a time..... I'll manage.

Jom sambung tengok gambar2 from China's trip.

*This is the Imperial Summer Palace where the Emperor spent most of his time during summer. Tempat ni cantik sangat, walaupun tak sebesar The Forbidden City. Kalau you all semua pernah tengok film The Last Emperor, you all akan tahu macamana permaisuri China membesarkan anak dia (pewaris takhta) di istana ni. She spent her time at this palace and had an illicit affair with her bodyguard. Cheq dah lupa citer tu macamana but this film won an Oscar for Best Film back in the late 80s or early 90s (tak ingat). Must get the DVD soon.

*this man-made lake kat Imperial Summer Palace ni agak menakjubkan. Cantik sangat. Time cheq sampai situ, the surface dah membeku tapi they all pecahkan sikit untuk dapatkan oksigen for the fish yang hidup dalam tasik ni.

*cheq fascinated dengan tulisan yang orang dok tulis kat pavement tepi tasik tadi. They all guna brush sebesar penyapu but yet the writing was so neat. The ink used was washable. Entah apa yang ditulis. I'd guess it was a poem. I need an interpreter here.

*Beijing's latest landmark. The Birdnest Stadium and its Olympic Sports Complex. The area was so big and spacious. Ala2 beribu kereta boleh park at this area. Boleh dikatakan dia 5 kali lebih luas than Kompleks Sukan Bukit Jalil. Penat kami berjalan from on spot to another. Very impressive indeed.

*pandangan dalam sebuah masjid di Beijing. From outside, tak nampak macam masjid pun sebab most masjid kat Beijing tadak kubah. Sorry to say, it looked more like a chinese temple than a mosque. Tapi hiasan dalaman dia, very unique. Chinese architecture masih dikekalkan.

*the end of the trip. After spending 7 days in China, it was time to say goodbye. Penat jugak sebab 7 days packed with tour activities. Pi sana sini, cuma malam saja tidoq kesejukan dalam bilik. Heater pun tak terasa warm sangat, kulit extremely dry and the weather outside was also extremely cold. Nak shopping pun penat jugak tawar menawar kalau tak nak kena tipu hidup2 dengan overly-priced goods. However, I quite enjoyed the trip and hope to come back in future. Maybe to some other places in China. Like I always said in the past, there's no better place than home.

*Beijing City International Airport. My luggage kena selungkar dengan airport security sebab masa x-ray ada nampak image tajam2 (manicure sets yang cheq beli banyak2 utk my sisters and friends). After waiting for about 2 hours, we departed and landed at KLIA at about 11.45 pm. KL Express pun dah habis service and my luggage "lost" for a few minutes. When I was just about to sign the report for loss luggage, my trolley bag suddenly appeared from nowhere. Memangla choi sangat hari tu. Tapi Alhamdulillah sebab cheq selamat sampai dan able to tell you the experience here.
