See - FOOD!

Assalammualaikum,

Melaka known as the best Asam Pedas. The spiciness couldn't be resist! The reddish color of the soup. The santan. The sour. Stir with the right type of fish in the soup. But my favourite fish ever that always get along with asam pedas are Ikan Pari (stingray) and Ikan Siakap (seabas). Wah! Mix with fresh tomatoes and fresh ladies finger. Even more WAH!

But right now. I'm not going to talk about the famous Melaka Asam Pedas. As you know. Melaka also famous with other good delicacies. Guess what?

Tadaa... It is SEAFOOD! Okay, beside Sabah which know with the most fresh and delicious seafood. So do Melaka. No lies!

Dad was originated from Melaka. Pulau Sebang. But the famous and delicious seafood that I'm going to talk about is not from Pulau Sebang. Not even Tampin. But in Umbai. What? UMBAI!

The place was called Crystal Bay, Umbai Melaka. Beyond the big gate of Crystal Bay place. Lies a lot of seafood restaurant. But my family's favourite is the Medan Ikan Bakar Segar Hj. Musa No.3. Haha. Siap number. It is fresh. Like crazy. They got variety types of fish. Even the prawns and the cuttlefishes are huge! Not like Guinness World Record big. Size of your thumb je.

They have a 30sen which is the size of Nasi Lemak. Okay, it may sound small. But I bet you going to ask for it more than 4 to 6 times. Delicious! The sambal is not too spicy. Average. Suit to any types of age. Hehe!

 

And they are also selling Otak-otak (brain! Haha. Fish la). Juicy, SPICY (as always) and SEDAP la.

Okay I'm not going to tell everything. It seems like I almost tell the story fully. I guess. If you love seafood so bad. Go and try. Insya Allah, I can guarantee you. Hehe. Like what my beloved father had told me "BELUM TRY. BELUM TAU!" (Al-Fatihah)

News went wild. Some source said due to the landslide at Setiawangsa. This caused some of water resources were cut regarding in repairing the pipe bursts. Okay, people can't complain. SYABAS have their own reason why water resource has to be delayed for a few days. What, a few days? Bearable. Affected area was Pandan Jaya, Wangsa Maju, Klang, Taman Maluri and few I can't remember. News told a few days. Okay la. Suddenly news wasn't alert us. FROM DAYS TURN TO WEEKS! OH MY AIR!!

So, stop whining. Appreciate more!

Hafiz AF7 vs Bruno Mars?

Assalammualaikum,

Semalam when I was on the way back home. As usual I would turn the radio up to the high volume. As usual la. Suddenly there was this song. Very mellow and the rhythm was smooth. I really fell for it. Guess what? A song called When I Was Your Man sang by Bruno Mars.

Drove back home slowly while listening towards the lyrics and the song. Very deep. And touched. When I was listening to it. Suddenly there came another song pop in my head. Same rhythm. Same style. Different lyrics but same meaning. Guess what? A song called Ku Akui sang by Hafiz AF7.

I mean seriously, dude. Both have similarities. The meaning of the lyrics. Once arrived. I went straight switch on the youtube. Search for this song sang by Bruno Mars. Tadaa... I was right. I think maybe I was the only one who felt it. Because when I listen to a music. I would take myself and think deeply on the lyrics. Get the feelings together. And that is why sometimes when I listen to a slow music. I would cry instantly. While if I listen to a rock or any similar to it. I would head banging. Hehe.

Although I'm not a good musician. Which I'm still on progress in playing guitar. And eventually I'm buta nod. But to be frank. I think I'm like Beethoven. Why? Beethoven was a blind man. Yet he knows music well. And he managed to create a music. By listening to it. Copied the song. Get the rhythm right. Modified and created his own music. What I think he was la.

Or maybe I'm like Stevie Wonder and Luciano Pavarotti. Who both are blind musician / opera singer. Wow! I'm proud to be myself. Buta nod but managed to re-create and copied music. Bangga!

Okay back to the story. Hafiz AF7 vs Bruno Mars. I smiled and I'm surprised. And guess what. Both started t have the appearance resembles. What? Trademark paling kaw kaw a.k.a RAMBUT AFRO. Hehe! Both style and voice. Both are good. When they started to sing slow-mo songs. It touches a lot of people. Bak kata orang, BOLEH KELUAR LA AIR MATA.

Seriously, listen to both songs. Ku Akui and When I Was Your Man..









Wassalamm..

Taiko!

Assalammualaikum,

Okay. I'm not saying I'm 1 Malaysia people. I just watch what I like to watch. And last 2 weeks. I went for a movie. Thought of going something action. But blurgh! This month of the year's movie. Not really interesting. So, I just pulled the drill and take a risk of watching this chinese movie. It wasn't my first time of watching it. Tak de masalah kan? Hehe. When the movie was finished. Kinda shocked that only two of Malay people who watching it. Hehe.

The movie was "The Last Tycoon."

To be frank. It was the best chinese movie ever. At first second scene were a bit boring. Once they have started with the fighting part. WOW! Awesome. Though that Chow Yun Fatt was too old to do action movie with the age. Haha. But still. He managed to bring up the character lively.

The story was most towards on LOVE. But I can see that the director did included with some of the moral of LOYALTY and HONESTY in it.

Okay the LOVE part was cheeky. But it touched me so bad. Watching two different girls. Who deeply in love with a taiko, Cheng Daiqi ( Yun-Fat Chow ). Where one was the 1st love and the second was the one who really dying for his love. Both have the same feeling where only one of the girls were belong to Cheng Daiq. Cheng Daiqi was the big taiko in Hong Kong. His live and love live were in danger and he was wanted by the Japanese. So, his 1st love, Qiu ( Monica Mok ) was 50-50 to live her life forever with Daiqi. She had to betray her love life. For her own sake. But still. Though Qui was married to other man. Daiqi love towards her never change. He willing to sacrifice his life for Qiu and make sure that Qui is in a good hand. Daiqi willing to send his close friend to make sure Qiu safety.

For the second love life, his wife. Where she willing to sacrifice love and care so she could put her arms around Daiqi. Married for the sake of full filing Daiqi's life. Tak nak jadi forever alone la katakan! Sian dia. Sanggup kot! She wiling to sacrifice her life to to make sure that Daiqi is safe. She was shot by Daiqi's long lost friend, Máo Zài ( Francis Ng ). Okay, this dude is tali barut. Daiqi planned of killing him during the opera. To be frank, Máo Zàimemang pandai jadi tali barut. Memang sakit hati seeing him betrayed his own country.

 As for LOYALTY and HONEST happens to be Daiqi loyalty towards his country and his serve to his leader,  Jin ShouTing ( Sammo Hung Kam-Bo )

What happen next to Daiqi? His close-friend? Qiu, 1st love? My advice. Go and watch it. It is seriously recommended by me. Hehe. Watch it! I'm not going to tell everything. It would spoil everybody's mood of not going to watch it. Enjoy it!

 Wassalam...

Practice

Assalammualaikum,

I love being simple. Especially when it comes on dress-up. Dress code in simple and sometimes can be disaster. Slippers. Sandals. Shoes? Jantan punya style. I love them. It's comfortable anyway. Heels? Nay! I bought a wedges. For crying out loud, I busted into cuts and bruises. Hey! What did they say? BEAUTY IS PAIN, right? Bull-shit! Sakit sial! Kinda doesn't have any option. I'm a girl/woman/lady. Heels or wedges are part of women life. Where able to make us look sexy. Right? Caya la wey. That's explain a lot why guys really into girls with heels. Sucks! 

Face.

Currently I'm using Clarins product. Not bad. There was one time. I just came back from kayak. From Mukah to Waterfront, Sarawak with my fellow kayakers. We got pretty bad tainted. Skin from lawa turned to vary very dark. Mom bought first Clarins for me. Don't ask the price. Thank you. Follow every instruction due on wearing it. Guess what. It took me only a week to get back on my original skin. Ala-ala Snow White, gitu. Gebu yet maintain the fairness and smooth skin. Pimples? Urgh! Who can ever run from pimples. People complain this product is expensive. Come on la. If you think any products that you are using. Suits to your face. Why complain? In fact. You yourself got pissed if you bought a product that is cheap or follow others taste and brand. If that product doesn't suit you. Screw you la. Yang kedekut sangat kenapa? If you can't afford. Don't act like you can afford. Buy something that is more important. Face-washer, moisturizer, serum and toner. If you really don't have that much of money. Just buy the face washer, toner and moisturizer. And the rest. Try mix. If it still doesn't work out. Sorry to say. You have to go with one product which suits you. Jangan banyak cakap. Serious. People busying yappy! yappy! saying Anak orang kaya. Senanglah. Bapak kau kaya. Senanglah. Hear me say this KENAPA NAK SURUH BAPAK KAU BELIKAN? KAU DAH DEWASA. BELILAH SENDIRI. Try not follow people that much. It is okay to try and error. If it still not okay. You do really have a skin problem a.k.a go and check with the skin specialist. Habis cerita. 
Causes of pimples :
Zones 1 & 3
Forehead
Traditionally, the forehead connects to your digestion. If you break out in this area, improve your elimination by drinking water and eating "whole" foods. You could possibly suffer from a food intolerance (like wheat or gluten).

Zone 2
Center Forehead
The middle of the forehead, between the eyebrows, connects to the liver. Congestion and breakouts could be related to consumption of alcohol and rich foods or a food allergy (like lactose intolerance). Avoid eating late at night and cut back on the wine and cheese.

Zones 4 & 10
Ears
The ears connect to the kidneys. If they swell or feel hot, reduce inflammation by cutting down on the caffeine.

Zones 5 & 9
Cheeks
Your cheeks indicate respiratory issues. Smokers or those who are allergy-prone typically notice fine, broken capillaries and clogged pores. Quit smoking and begin an antihistamine regimen (if you're not on one already) to clear this congested area.

Zones 6 & 8
Eyes
The eyes, like the ears, connect to the kidneys. Diminish dark circles and brighten those peepers by drinking more water and streamlining your digestion.

Zone 7
Nose
Your nose indicates blood pressure. If it becomes red and abnormally inflamed, your blood pressure level is probably higher than usual.

Zone 12
Chin
Chin breakouts are regulated by hormones and tend to freak out before and after your period.

Zones 11 & 13
Corners of the mouth
The corners of your mouth connect to the ovaries, and often break out during menstruation.

Zone 14
Neck Area and Temples
Breakouts in the neck area and temples relate to adrenal stress. Our two adrenal glands, located above our kidneys, secrete vital hormones. If these glands function abnormally, you may feel sluggish and stressed throughout the day, and you could break out. Remember, the skin on your neck is just as important as your face, don't forget to take care of it! ( http://www.beautylish.com/a/vmsms/hormonal-acne )


Make-up.
Got free gift from Clarins. A lipstick tak! Bergaya lah lepas ni aku, jah! Normal baby Johnson Lavender powder. As for compact powder. I'm still in searching the right one that suits for my face. Currently I'm using Baby Johnson. Not that good. But still keep on trying. Lip-balm? I'm using strawberry lips-balm from Maybeline. Eye liner? Owned black and brown color. Also from Maybeline.

The rest.
The product for skin and hair products. For skin. I choose Bio-Oil to removed scars. ( Tak perlu mention la mana. Fahamkan saja lah ). And Baby Johnson Oxygen Lotion. Smoothed my skin. As for my hair. I'm so into Essence. I bought the purple bottle which contain Lavender sense. Perfume? I'm using Crabtree and Evelyn. Deodorant? Product named Simple.

Facts about Lavender Essence Shampoo :

1. lavender - normalizes scalp conditions; slows hair loss.
2. Lavender Volume Shampoo™ gently cleanses and volumizes fine hair while nourishing and restoring balance. Long known for its ability to improve the appearance of hair and skin, lavender oil works its fragrant magic to enhance the natural beauty of your hair.

Bio -Oil - Bio‑Oil is a specialist skincare oil that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone. It is also effective for aging and dehydrated skin. ( This thing is really works. Damn I'm sure!)


The result? Tada.. Biasa je. Because I'm not used in make-up thingy that much. For certain occasion.

Kidding!! The original is on the right. The left was zombified by a friend of mine, Maja. Hehe

P/s - Do you notice a scar on my chin? Well, I use Bio-Oil for 3 times a week. Alhamdulillah it turn out to be okay. Dah hilang!

It is okay to try. But if it doesn't work on you. Doesn't mean you have to quit it. Spend a quality product on you. In fact, it is for your own health. To impress people? Depends. As long as you love it and comfortable with it. Use it! =)

That's all for the fun facts and fun main-main make-up (as if).

Bag Italy Bag Kampung Malaysia

Assalammualaikum,

Okay. I think this happens to be like 2 weeks ago. Merajuk! Alhamdulillah. Allah gave me my family. Mom and abang invited me off to KLCC. Jalan-jalan. Abang is on his going to bertunang with Amalina Kamal. So, we decided to go and look for hantaran. Amalina is one simple gal. Umur sama. So, we definitely understand what we want and what we can or can't afford.

We had our lunch. We went one shop to another. Suddenly mom spotted a unique store. Where they selling bags with variety of shapes and designs. Guess what it made of? By a high quality plastic string special made from Italy. Okay imagine phone at our home. The phone string? Get the picture? Totally unique I tell you. I forgot the brand. But it was amazing. A handbag where caught mom's eyes cost RM5K. Say what? RM5K. *blink blink!*

Back to our Malaysia product. Plastic bag. Not the groceries plastic bag. Usually sell tepi jalan. And it famous among of orang Utara. Ala balik kampung. Nampak la tepi jalan orang jual beg-beg buat daripada manik and plastik. Yang dok ikat dan gulung-gulung pakai tali plastik buat beg. That is the one. It usually bought by tourist right. And back to our time. Those back were famous. And kids loved it. Don't you remember? I used to buy it one. Dah hilang. Hehe.

I don't understand Malaysian point of view about this thing. Kinda see what our president is trying to do. He is trying to help orang kita to promote our product to the world. Apparently, orang Melayu always terlalu down to earth. Sorry to say. I sees our people have the exact quality of creating and selling kampung product. Not all have the goal. Some. But on rempah. Rempah. Back to the story. Imagine bag manik and tali plastik. Now the designer took the risk and sell the tali plastic bag. At KLCC. 3rd floor at Isetan. Serious talking. I think, we Malaysian people can do it much better than this Italian designer. Haha.

Gambar contoh from Blues Riders' blog

Too many recycle stuff. Sees something as an art to orang luar. That is why, they manage to be a millionaire. People look for authentic design. Imitate? Command.

Dress made by a tin cans' cover. Supper impressive!

Belacan and tempoyak in UK. Well known. Haha. Apam balik. It will be better if we create and design the manik bag and promote it slowly. Definitely we will be famous. Isn't it?

Seriously. They sell in in various color and designed. Oh forgot. The store is actually in front of Longchamp's store. Go and take a look for yourself. You'll be surprise.

That's all...

Seek For Allah Instead

Assalammualaikum,

Harsh day. Okay everyday is harsh for me. Facing my drama life. It is so not over. My bad. Recently, I have been reading a blog. Owned by Maria Elena. I read a few post. What caught my attention on reading it finish. Is the moment. When she talked about people point of view. Yeah! It is true. Like Mufti Menk said "You can't never satisfy people. No matter how good or bad you are. Life!" I say. It is hard to understood life if we keep on thinking others rather than seeking for Allah. The Mighty Lord. I admit. It is hard for me to satisfy people. Pain. Sad. Sorrow. That is life.

Back to Maria Elena. A few post and videos inspired me. A bit. Thinking how she faced all the comments on her previous post. Saying she is so gediks! I think. It is funny. To be frank. She is annoying. Haha. Sorry Maria Elena if you read this. Haha. But I kinda like her. Because she is who she is. Look at her. Though she is rich and famous regarding on her hijab video and blogs. People despite her gediks-ness. Yet she still maintain who she is. Being Maria Elena herself. Besides. Most of the girls, nowadays, are dying to be like her. XOXO - her style of hijab and fashion. And of course. Being crazy and gediks in front of the camera.

Some can be like her. Some can't. Because she is who she is. Just be yourself. Enough. As long as Allah is accepting who you are. Because HE is the one who created you. To get inspiration. Not a problem. It is like a life motivation. But not all thing. For example. Yuks! Malaysian new band imitate a K-POP style. For me. BIG EUUUWWWW! You skin color. Their skin color. Way too different. Stop being like them. It is so disgusting. Show off your chest. Haha. Don't you realize that you are freaking skinny. They are hot. Because they built up some packs, MAN! Get over it. Euuw!

This goes to general. Boys and girls. I even laugh my ass out loud. Seeing them showing off her style and dance. So Terabur! Haha. Sorry! See. People can't even satisfy what are you doing. Even myself complain what happen to our Malaysian singer. So, kelakar! Sorry. No offence. But it is not us. I mean Malaysian. Please. Too sexy.


What is next? Hmm. Okay. Watching Maria Elena's pre-wed videos. Where she and her husband went out for dating. And she was sulked when her husband was manja with her. I think back about the moment. No matter who you are. Whether you are stated as a challenge person. Somebody out there will accept who you are. Because they see you on the inside. Instead of your appearance. People won't accept you if you just being fake. Well some phsyco is different. They want you to be their Mr. or Mrs. dream partner. So, they decided to change you like whom they want you to be. And end up fighting. When they fight. They keep on blaming each other. Too bad. That is so sad. Being different. Is unique and special. I say you.

It has been explained since we were born. Allah won't simply created a person same like the rest. HE helps us living our life. Not obeying people needs. But HIS. Some were born special. They have their way to seek for Allah. Some were born gifted. They have their way to seek for Allah. Don't you get it? I have my hard way to be myself back. Because I have been keep on obeying people needs for so long. And yesterday was pain. When one of my friend admitted that she was pissed off with me and said Where was the old Atiyah? The one who always independence. Strong and funny? I realize that. I make myself being what somebody wants me to be. Not being who I really am. And I am being control. I'm the puppet and he is puppeteer.

I shouldn't have blame firdaus. It was my fault anyway. Trying to be like his girlfriends who is cantik, lawa, sweet when bertudng and shawl, memahami and all bull-shit (good shit) for me to be. And I admit. I am stuck. Finally I sees myself. Trying hard to be not who I am. Who used not to be so jealousy. Has turn me on. Now he and his family can't accept who I am. I screw things up. Thought of being like his girlfriends yang ayu and lawa and semua girls things. Isn't working for me.

What I like most. Get back on my extreme life. Daki gunung. Paragliding. Rafting. All crazy stuff. I love outdoor activities. Maybe I seek something like mertua's ciri-ciri. Isn't working for me. But that doesn't stop me for being girlish. Why? Well, apparently I started to cook. Can you believe that? Miracle! Alhamdulillah. Wearing heels. That is all I want. Not being force to. I sit and think about what is wrong with me. I think. I think too much of being somebody that I'm not capable of. But I can be lawa. Well, on my own way. Take it or shove it up your ass by leave it!

Education? I'm a slow learner. But that doesn't stop me for being an engineer. goal is to be Project Manager. Firdaus really don't want me to be a supervisor. Visiting site and doing guys work. He said that it is not good for women to do all that works. He sort of  wanted me to be office-person. Sorry! I don't like to sit and do nothing. I'm anactive girl. I love to challenge my mind and physical system. Haha. What a sentence. Oh My English! Whatever. That is me. So far, I'm enjoying my job. Travel and supervise work at site. And finding solution for site matters. Angkat simen (as if). And whatever work that site is doing.

Never satisfy! Yeah. Probably because they jealous of your works. Might be. Well, I'm not a god to know everything. I just assume. If I'm wrong. Don't mind to correct me. Well, correct me? Haha. One of the problem where I'm sure I hate it when people correct me in a wrong way. Mocking me. Call me stupid. Well, don't mad at me if I screw you.Disrespect you. I'm just being myself. Defends my prerogative. Okay enough with that. Might someone read it and say this is bull-shit. Haha.

Okay people can never satisfy. You being too fat. Too skinny bitch. Urgh! Talk about skinny bitch. Nah! forget about that bitch. You are ugly. Go kill yourself. Shit, is that it? So not mercy. So not civilize. What I'm about to say that. When we are comfortable in our own shape. People said "go diet!" "go exercise!" Yish! Face it. Your body isn't that hot for you to direct other girls. Stop it! You are too jealous! Haha.

Boyfriend / Girlfriend? Okay. I'm in love with this guy. Apparently. I was too childish. Bak kata dia. I'm being so immature. He even called me crazy woman. Well, which woman in this earth wants their partner to be taken. No one. I kept fighting for my rights. And lastly. I was humiliated. I wasn't ashamed. Who gives a shit you mock me. They just don't know who I am. But when I think about it. No matter how tough we fight. No matter how strong we are. If Allah says No. Never ever disobey HIS will. The more we disobey. The more HE punish us. All HE wants is us to believe in HIM more instead to a man you baru couple. Yang belum tentu wants to marry you although promises is just a promises. ALLAH IS THERE FOR YOU. Seek for HIS help. Not others. No one can guide you. Unless you guide yourself and always seek for his guidance. HE won't disappoint us. Though we do. But HE still loves us, don't you agree on that? That is why HE lend us a human, called FATHER! Though HE is not down here for HIM to lead us. But HE lends us a father for them to guide and lead us to syurga. Amin.. I shouldn't blame this Firdaus. But it is okay. May Allah bless his live. Amin.. =)

Okay. The conclusion is. People are busy seeking 2013 resolution. Why don't we busy seeking for Allah? Isn't that suppose to be good. 2013 resolution :

1. Tudung labuh.
2. Berudung. Panjangkan lengan baju. From short to quarter short to long.
3. Filling life with penuhkan solat 5 waktu.
4. Pandai masak.
5. Stop crying for the one who about to dump you? (kiki)
6. Solat subuh tak lepas.
7. Start to work hard for avoiding maksiat a.k.a KAHWIN!!
8. Perbetulkan bacaan al-quran (wah!)
9. Work hard to go Haji or Umrah.

And something good that is vary really good. I'm just saying. Who knows. But if we keep it to ourselves then. For only Allah knows. Alhamdulillah. Sorry what I wrote my offence you people. May we live in peace.

Happy New Book Leads To Syurga, people!! Amin..

p/s - Happy Marriage, Maria Elena and husband (though it has been like 2 months now. Baru nak wish! hehe). May Allah bless your marriage and families forever. Amin.. And sorry using your name for this blog. Hehe.
