The World is Cruel.

the other day, I went to Giant Puchong for business(echehh)

went to the food court upstairs to wait for someone(echehh)

there I was, sitting alone at an empty table, waiting...(echehh)

Sitting at a food court waiting for someone usually makes u buy some food just to pass the time..not for me though, cuz i wasnt hungry(echehh padehal kedekut/jimat =P )

To pass the time, i played around with my phone, surfed the web, walked around the mall a few times, but still. bored as hell. Naturally, i did some people-watching!

and what I saw opened my eyes.

I saw and old woman, probably in her late 50's or early 60's. She wore a green Giant Cleaner tshirt, moving from table to table, picking up all the dirty dishes, clearing all the unfinished food and wiping the tables clean.

What saddened me the most is when she would push the cleaning trolley from table to table, limping as she walked. Each step looked as painful and as uncomfortable as the last...

She did her work quietly but determinedly. U could feel her sincerity in doing her work, despite her age and her health condition..

I could only look at her with sympathy and smile when she looked at me and pray that she leads a better life tomorrow.

And then I had a stray thought.
What if my Mother was the one in her shoes.
Limping from table to table, picking up other people's dirty dishes...

Dont get me wrong, I am in no way looking down at people in that line of work

I just believe that no aged woman/mother should be doing it

I know my mother wont
Because she has her 2 sons and daughter that she can depend on

The World is Cruel....But Thank God I have My Mother Here With Me.

RIP Bonnie.

you were born,
you live your life,
and you return to meet your maker.

though the time span may differ, every living being will go through this process

today, i witnessed life being pulled away from a loved one.
a cat.
my cat.
my Bonnie.

you were always a member of the family. you were loved by all. and will be remembered by all.
a loyal cat. the fattest cat i've ever owned.

RIP Bonnie

2001 - 30 Dec 2010

my big fat orange cat.

Aidilfitri 2010

 
another raya has come and gone...

kepala hotak kau! RAYA SEBULAN KOT!

but still, the BESTERESTEST part of raya has passed. 
if u dont know what im talking bout:
malam sebelum raya and pagi raya di kampung. =D

bertakbir di malam raya, bermaaf-maafan dan bersalam-salaman di pagi raya

these 2 things are what makes raya "RAYA". what sets raya apart from other holidays
i've said it before and i'll say it again,

"even the worst of Rayas is still the best of days"

now lets talk about RAYA 2010!

as usual, i had a freaking-blast-chaotic-out-of-my-freaking-mind-helluva time! to say the least. hahah XD
not ur typical raya, cuz, well, we're not ur typical family
and thats the way we like it! =D

and now, aku nak cito dlm bm plak. sbb nak mencarut cito sonang. hahahah

tahun ni, raya kurang meriah sket.
sbb x byk family yg raya 1st day kat sini..n pakngah plak telah kembali ke rahmatullah awal tahun ni..pastu ucu still keje kat tgh2 pelantar minyak kat tgh laut kat entah mane. kesian nenek aku, sedih die.  =/

tp kite kene pikir positive! and look at the bright side!
tahun ni kitorg beraya di rumah yg baru

*side note - rumah kampung aku dah renovate. kampung kau, bile lg? =P serious lawa. kalah rumah aku dowh. damn

andddd tahun ni ade benda alah baru kat living room tgh.

KAROEKE!!!!

natang karoke ini ditaja oleh Pensonic.

bughuk gile perangai org2 umah ni..sepatotnye malam raya bertakbir beramai2..ni tidak, sume dok melekat depan tv melalak lagu2 siti, jamal and uji rashid (3 cd ni je yg ada...x pening kepala hotak ko 3 hari pusing2 dgr lagu same je..dah laa suara masing2 mcm harem..adoyai)

masa kitorg sembahyang raya kat surau, kecoh kot org kampung dgr kitorg karoke..haha mencapup x mencapup puak hajah Alimah ni.? lol XD

since x ramai family yg balik kampung 1st day tahun ni, so makanan pon xde ahh segampang banyak mcm tahun lepas..hahaha tp makanan2 wajib seperti ketupat, palas, lepat, rendang ayam dan daging ada! yeayyy =DDDDD

tuuu dia org kuat di dapur!

 

 

si kenit2 pon nak tolong gak. tolong menyemak. hahah

 

n tahun ni kitorg bwat dodol!

dan aku telahpon sudah menjadi seorg PMD (Pakar Membuat Dodol)!!

..ok tipu je, xde ahh pakar..tp tau ahh gak camne nak bwat
..ok tipu lg, x gheti pon nk bwat, xtau ape benda alah ingredients die pon, tp aku dok gaul benda alah tu sehari suntuk kot!
..again, tipu je..aku gaul benda alah tu due tiga kali pastu bosan gi tgk org karoke...
ok ni x tipu, aku bwat2 tolong kacau dodol tu semate2 nak amek gamba supaya bole bitau org yg aku pernah bwat dodol. agagagagagagagga XD

ni dia hasil "pertolongan" ku..hahahah

tp yg penting, dodol yg dibwat tu SEDAP! hasil tangan ku SEORG! ngeeeeeeeeeeee

lepas "penat" kacau dodol, aku pon join melalak pastu membutaaaa
dan bangun agak awal utk mandi sunat(yess aku ingat utk mandi sunat tahun ni! tahun lepas terlupa daa) n solat subuh..
pakai baju baru (baru pada tahun 2008) dan bergerak ke surau utk solat sunat aidilfitri..upacara bermaaf-maafan dipindahkan ke selepas solat aidilifitri supaya kaum2 camwhores dpt lebih masa utk bwat keje x senonoh mereka.

selesai sudah kaum hawa pasang mekap 2 inci tebal, maka bermulalah upacara bermaaf-maafan di living room baru! hahaha XD

 ko reti ckp ke x reti ckp, ko still kene mintak maaf! haha

lepas tu dpt duit rayaaaa! yesss aku dpt duit raya! siap dpt bonus drpd nenek lg sbb tlg cat umah dulu! wohoooo XD

 berkojar nak amik duit ghaya! haha =D

lepas tu, ape lg, camwhore laa segala anak, menantu, cucu Hajah Alimah
first amek gambar ramai2, then amek gamba company masing, pastu turn cucu2..bermula dgn saiz XS (baru lahir sampai darjah 3), pastu saiz S(darjah 3 sampai menengah rendah), pastu saiz M(menengah atas), saiz L (cucu yg dah abis sekolah)..yesss 1st time aku tergolong dlm saiz L, selama hidup aku, aku asik pakai saiz S...zzzz
pastu golongan saiz XL (yg dah kawen beranak pinak segala) punye turn plak nk bergambo..punye creative laa diorg nak amek gambo lebih tahun ni, diorg pecahkan lg category diorg jd geng adik beradik perempuan, kaum2 ibu, menantu2, anak2 kandung..hahahaha

 hahaha adegan sketsa sikettt

lepas tu, aktiviti seterusnya x lain dan x bukan - karoke

yg x tahan nye, sampai kul 2 pagi karoke, tp golongan XL plak yg melalak n conquer karoke..ahahah

aku ni yg masih kepenatan sbb bwat dodol semlm pon tido awal dgn amannye di hall yg sebelah sambil "didodoikan" oleh lagu2 siti, jamal dan uji rashid....lol


and thats my Raya story. =D
cant wait for next year!!!

apeapepon,

SELAMAT HARI RAYA

MAAF ZAHIR BATIN

=D

serial curser

i curse alot
like, very often
like, 24/7
like, i'm famous for it
like, the name Maliq is synonymous with cursing
like, it's true!



i think it's because i'm a quarter Malaccan
lol blame it on genetics..haha XD

you know how Malaccan people curse more than they normally talk?
well, I, for one, find it HILLARIOUS!

they curse when they're angry
e.g. - Pukimak lancau lahabau mana curik bantal busuk aku?!?!? (sampai keluar steam kat hidung dan telinga mcm bull)

they curse when they're sad
e.g. - Pukimak lancau lahabau btol, x sangke die btol2 dah meninggalkan kite selama2nye......

they curse when they're happy
e.g. - Pukimak lancau lahabau!! lame gile x jumpe ko dowhh! (sambil senyum pjg lebar dan bersalam salaman mesra)

*for full effect, imagine a Malaccan friend of yours saying these with the right intonation and facial expressions. =D

they curse so freaking much that you cant help but laugh out loud
laugh with them or at them, whatever works.
hehe



for me, personally, i think cursing is flat-out funny
of course, this is only applicable to friends whom we know dont mind the constant flow of profanities - and not unknown strangers or superiors at work or lecturers or the elderly.
NO. DUHHHHH


just because a person curses as much as he breathes, doesnt mean he's a dumb insensitive rude asshole
in actual fact, he's a funny dumb insensitive rude asshole
and i should know~~
hahahahah XD


really, if any of you have a problem with cursing
you should spend a weekend with my relatives at Kuala Selangor!
we might just convert you into a serial curser
hahaha

Sumpah kat sane kecoh habis mcm pasar mlm jual sayur di pagi hari
hehe

and the highlight of any day at kampung is actually when its midnight, when all the makciks are done with all the cooking and stuff
all the aunts (especially my mom, mak andak and acik) will gather in the living room with a cup of nescafe (or KEPE as we like to call it) in hand and talk about everything under the sun - regarding the family..hehe
if they're angry, its funny. if they're happy, its funnier. if they're sad, shut the hell up! hahaha

while the adults are deep in discussion, the lanun2 (my litle cousins) will be running around the house leaving a path of destruction and chaos (ok hiperbola gila..hahaha)

dalam tgh serious berckp psl isu2 terkini, kalo ade mane2 anak org yg terjatuh ke ape, mesti ade sorg makcik akan melatah benda yg bukan2
e.g. - budak jatuh. "ehh pant*t ko goyang!".

then the whole room will fall silent for a short second, before booming with laughter..ahahahaha XD

janji kene ade my mom, mak andak and acik (yakni the 3 org kuat of the family!), confirm seronok balik kampung! hehe


well, this is entirely my own personal opinion. and i'm talking about my own experiences
your view on cursing might totally differ from mine
but really, i honestly find cursing funny. and i suck at "menyindir" org lain
sooooo, cursing is my specialty. so to speak. hahaha XD



at least aku mencarut je byk
x kutuk org behind their backs

oh damn. tu pon aku bwat gak
ok bye! nk bertobat! XD

Raya 2009 =D

Raya was a blast
not the best raya i've experienced in my short 19 years of life
but still, raya is raya
and the worst of rayas is the best of days
so ill take what i can get
and run like the wind! hehe

anyways, this raya - 2009 - as usual(and i hope that this trend continues),
we balik-ed kampung to my mom's side
at batu 7 1/2, kampung asahan, kuala selangor!

sampai kampung kul 7.25
nasib baik dah prepare the necessary air and biskut2 utk berbuka dlm kete
pastu masing2 xtau frequency stesen radio ikim ke jakim ke apentah
soooo mcm bajet2 dah gelap tu, buke! ahaha

sampaaaaai je kampung, makan, mandi, smayang
jgn harap laaa nak lepak2 tgk astro(ye, kampung aku ade astro, sbb nenek aku suke tgk wrestling! woot woott)
terus gi bekerje

ok menyimpang sat,
every raya, nenek aku akan mengerahkan anak2 nye, cucu2 nye, tetapi bukan menantu2 nye
utk membuat kerja2 mengemas rumah, memasak, mengecat, mengangkat barang, membuang sampah, membaja kelapa sawit dan segala2 yg terpikir olehnya
last year, pada malam raya, saya mengecat umah kampung tu dr isyak saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaampaaaaaai laa kul 12.30AM
itupon sbb hujan
saya pasti, kalau tidak hujan, confirm akan sambung sampai ke pagi raya
tp sila jgn salah faham
nenek saya x kejam, cume mode "CANTIKKAN RUMAH" die tersgt amat bangat extreme
ahaha tp apepon, kami segala buruh2 beliau amat menyayangi beliau! =D

ok back to the future,
antara kerja2 yg dilakukan adelah spt membuat ketupat, palas, lepat, rendang ayam dan daging
tp 1 thing laa, kalau bwat kerja ramai2
sume menyemak dlm dapur
sumpah SERONOK!
lg2 kalau ade mulut2 banjar yg x mkn saman mcm acik, mak andak, alang, bondaku (mak long) dan wani
ntah sape2 laa yg diorg kutuk semlm
tp sumpah seronok mendgr! hahah
if u think i have a bad mouth, u havent met my aunts!!!
ngahahahaha

walaupon mulut kitorg bergerak dok ngutuk org
tgn2 kitorg pon bergerak gak melipat daun palas, membalut lepat, nyumbat pulut, menggaul rendang, melayukan daun pisang
and juz so u know, we made
220 ketupats
ntah brapa byk lepat dan palas
1 kawah rendang ayam
1 kawah rendang daging
XD
because nenek punye mode "BAGI MAKAN KAT CUCU" pon extreme gak
she loves to feed us! ngeee =D




anddd we have a new addition to the family!
nur farisha airina bt ucu(ok x ingat name ucu, ingat pangkat je)
she just celebrated her 1st raya! =D
she's cucu number 35 or 34..ntah

adik dan abang

after all the hard work
bout 2am, cari parking! n tidoooooooooooooooo

dan bangun agak lambat
beratur utk gune toilet
ade 2 toilet, 6 families! u do the math! haha
rushing bukan main sampai terlupe mandi sunat aidilfitri
damn. xpe2, tahun depan bwat. pasang alarm awal2
hahaha
had breakfast(NOT break fast)
ate rendang daging! SEDAPPPPP! lepat pon sedap
ketupat agak keras, palas terlalu padat
rendang ayam liat nak mati sbb pakai ayam pencen..hahahah

gi surau smayang sunat aidilfitri
x dgr sgt khutbah tahun ni
tahun lepas nye best, imam siap nangis2 lg
tahun ni isi kandungan khutbah kurang menarik perhatian
lol mati aku kalo jakim nmpk ape aku tulis ni! ahahah

lepas smayang, aktiviti kemuncak hari raya!
the HIGLIGHT of the year

the FORGIVENESS part
our family tradition is we have nenek sitting first at the front,
then the pak and mak longs will ask forgiveness from nenek and from each other, then sit next to nenek
followed by the ngahs, udas, tehs, andaks, itams, anjangs, alangs, aciks, ucus, 1st cucu till the smallest cucu capable of walking
hahah
sume org beratur according to pangkat and age..huhu
sumpah i LOVE this tradition we've maintained
effect die perghhhh..makan dalam!..haha
during this asking-of-forgiveness session, u'll see bermcm2 emotion displayed
ppl crying asking for forgiveness, the cucus arguing and laughing because theyre stepping on other ppls' kains(we kneel while we ask for forgiveness) dll

immediately after that, mereka2 yg sudah bekerja akan distribute DUIT RAYA!!
=D


then, we had the family photo session!
we took photos with all of us together
then company by company(ikut family)
tp this year lupe bwat tema "anak2", "menantu2!" dan "cucu2!"
time ni plak, mmg hiruk pikuk kecoh habis sampai 1 kampung bole dgr
ahahaha

6 families! 4 families missing

mengajar nenek aku the peace sign... peace yawww
