Perliament House

Oh Aussie!

This is the present given by the Aborigines to Mr Kevin Rudd for his apology of the stolen generation. They (the aborogines) are really happy for that and gave that as a token of appreciation for having the courage to say sorry. Yes, sorry is always seems to be the hardest word BUT mr., you have opened up world's eyes! Well done!!!

Anyway, this is just my first stop. Gonna update with my few other pit stops in my next posts. Stay tuned!

Uncertainty

We plan
God decides
Wishing for the best
Praying that our prayers would be heard
Insyaallah, everything would be fine
Stay strong, Stay focus
Dengan izin Allah
Tawakal
O pls

Static

Who said that static means u dont know how to pose? Well, here are some of the examples to prove that the statement is wrong.

Oh btw, all of these photos were taken at the Uni of Sydney Museum last semester. There was an exhibition about Egypt and it was really interesting.

Looking

Stone-ing

Peeking

Thinking

Scary

Superhumans

Sad

Concentrating

In the end, no matter how u pose, what important is the photographer. A good photographer will surely making any of your poses look good even though you dont even know what you are actually doing.

Oh ya, word of wisdoms for today;

"Nothing ever works out the way you want it to be"

-The Oracle-

Yes, there is always something to make us changing our plan. Sometimes it is good but sometimes, it can make us miserable. Always pray for the best and believes that Allah's help is always with us.

Aku seorang Bugis

Aku pernah bertanye kepada puksu, dari manakah asal usul sebenar keluarga. Cerita nya agak panjang namun, ianya sesuatu yang amat menarik untuk diketahui. Sape tanak tau keturunan sendiri. kan?

Ceritanya bermula begini. Datuk adalah seorang pedagang Bugis yang selalu berulang alik dari Riau ke Bertam. Sebagai seorang Bugis, adalah sesuatu yang janggal jika tidak tahu berlawan. Jadi, bagi meneruskan tradisi keluarga, datuk juga tahu bersilat. Silat cekak Merewah, khazanah keluarga dari Daeng Merewah.

Amat mudah untuk mengenali pahlawan Bugis. Mereka gemar tidak berbaju dan mempunyai rantai yang dipakai di dahi. Sebiji batu yang hanya mampu diperoleh dari Riau yang berwarna kehijau-hijauan digantung sebagai simbol kemegahan sebagai seorang Bugis.

Paksu juga berkata yang rupa ku ada iras2 rupa datuk. Mungkinkah begini wajah datuk waktu muda2 dulu? Pahlawan Bugis nih!

Nenek pula adalah seorang Melayu. Anak kepada Datuk Bentara Luar Johor. Seorang yang rupawan dan gemar mengenakan pakaian yang cantik. Nenek aku mempunyai sebuah bilik yang memang dikhaskan untuk pakaiannya sahaja. Penuh dengan pakaian yang biasanya hanya dipakai sekali dua sahaja.

Nak dijadikan cerita, datuk datang menjual kain2 dari Riau ke istana nenek. Menjadi lumrah bulanan, nenek akan membeli sekurang2nya sepuluh helai kain untuk disiapkan sebagai persalinannya sehari2. Namun, sesuatu yang tidak diduga telah berlaku pada hari datuk ke istana nenek.

Suatu kejadian amuk telah berlaku dan istana nenek telah diserang. Pada ketika itu, semua pengawal istana sedang leka memilih pakaian untuk orang rumah masing2. Jadi, tiada pengawal di bahagian hadapan istana. Ini membolehkan orang amuk itu melolos masuk ke dalam istana dan medapatkan nenek sebagai tebusan. Suasana amat kalut. Semua yang ada bertempiaran menyelamatkan diri. Tinggallah nenek terjerit2 meminta tolong.

Mujurlah datuk ada di situ. Langkah silat dibuka satu persatu sehingga orang amuk itu diam seperti batu. Nenek dapat diselamatkan dan bermulalah bait2 percintaan sehingga ke jinjang pelamin. Puksu kata percintaan mereka hanya untuk seminggu kerana mereka terus bernikah selepas itu.

Aku : Wah, macam cerita drama la plak puksu
Puksu : Haha. Tu la, tapi bile ingat balik citer nih, tersenyum puksu sorang2.
Aku : Nape terseyum plak puksu?
Puksu : Ye la... Tak sangka, plot yang puksu susun dalam mase 5 min nih logik jugak! Hahahah
Aku : Hahahaha. Korang sumer kene tipu!!! tettttttttttttt Jgn marah naaa!! :)

Kopek Bawang

Hey people out there, I'm proudly to say that I am now know how to 'kopek bawang'! Impressive rite? The work that usually causing people to cry, giving them trouble, making them immediately looking for the tissue, or even make their hand smells 'really good' has already been done by me! Formally, I could say that this is actually my 1st time learning how to 'kopek bawang'. Yes, I have done some 'kopek bawang' before but that was not in the proper way! haha. Thanks to the owner of the cafe that I'm working now, Auntie Aida.

Owh btw, when I 'malu2' asking her how to 'kopek bawang', her immediate reply was,

"Kat rumah kau ade maid eh?"
"Haha, mak saye housewife la auntie "

Another conversation which made me 'tercengang seketika' took place here as well,

Watak: Auntie ( the owner), May ( Rakan sekerja -Chinese ), ME

Auntie: Fi, kau takde gelfren eh? (sambil memasak di dapur)
ME: Mane ade auntie, saye nih single lg. ( sedang tekun mengopek bawang )
Auntie: Hish ko nih, org cantik mcm nih takkan la takde gelfren??? (*merase la aku nih chantique! haha*)
ME: Hehe (*tersipu2 malu*)

Tiba2, May yg sedang sibuk membasuh pinggan terus menyampuk,
May: Gelfren takda, blakang2 simpan boyfren! HAHAHA *die ketawe dgn rakusnye*

Auntie dgn aku hanya mampu memandang sesame sendiri!
ME: (*berkata di dalam hati*) wah mkcik nih! bukan maen lagey! (*smbil tersenyum2 haha*)

Enough of drama, lets have a qoute of the day, amacam?

"Picture speaks louder than words"
Since I'm sooo into photography, this quote sounds really good to me.
Oh ya, if that is the case, what can u guys say about this pic?
(*tipu dose, mati sekse, masuk nerake*)

Jumberoo!!!

So this is the place! Sungguh meriah sekali...

Welcome to Jumberoooooooooooo...

Nih wave man made. Aku paling suke kt sini. Umpama terapung2 di kayangan! haha. Paling tinggi sampai 2m. Wave nih diorang buat mcm kt laut. But seriously, kalo la aku kene cmpak kt laut, aku tak rase bole survive walopon aku gheti berenang. Berenang kat laut tak same dgn berenang kat swimming pool.

Ramai sungguh manusia. The environment here mmg best. Tmpat nih pon diorang buat cntik. The best choice for family day out. Bole picnic, bole mandi, bole maen, bole la bole...

Smartkan? Mmg rugi la kalo sesape yg tak pi tuh. Hehe. View smart. Mndi pon best!

Diorang ade byk cafe. So senang la kalo sesape yg plan tanak bawak mknn.

Owh, tmpat kanak2 pon ade. Ye la, takkan la budak2 kecik nk berendam kt tmpat sedalam 5 m? Tak pasal2 balik keras kejung!

Yang nih pon best. Sebenarnye, nih ride yg mcm gelongsor. Pastuh end up kt sini. Berpusing woo! Cuak jugak. Tp sekejap je la.

Manusia2 putih nih mmg suke berjemur! Nak kulit 'tan' la kan! But tgk la environment yg diorang create nih. Best kan? Slumber smacam jer.

Ride yg nih aku lupe name die. Korang kene naek mcm small keter. Pastuh gerak ikut track nih. N keter tuh korang bole control. Ade brek.

Landscape kt sini mmg diorang jage btol2. Tuh sumer tmpat nmpk cntik je. Ye la, kalo tak, sure kureng pengunjung. Tak gitu?

Tmpat nih plak, korang kene terjun dari atas tuh. Dalam smpai 5m! The moment korang dh smpai dalam air, rase lame gile. Tak jejak2 lantai. Pastuh korang nk cepat2 naek kt surface. N mase tuh pon rase lame gile. Mcm dh takde chance nk bernafas lg dh! haha. (nih kawan aku yg bg tau. Aku malas nk buat sbb kecik2 dulu, dh slalu terjun2 nih. Naek boring dah :P )

Smart kan pondok2 tuh? Tu la, landscape kt sini mmg best2. Berbaloi la jgak AUD 37 kitorang.

Yeah! Nih paling best. Go-Kart! Lumbe aa ape lg! hehehe. Owh ye, just in case kalo korang nk pi sini, jgn amek keter oren or kuning. Lembap gile! Tekan minyak diorang relax2 je jalan. Tak rock la beb!

Konklusinya, trip kali nih mmg best! Best, best dan mmg best! hehe

Eye Candy

AFTER







Subhanallah.

Raikan Cinta

What a memorable day! We went to Jumbaroo yesterday which is in Wollonggong. It is a water theme park, something like Sunway Lagoon in Malaysia. There were 16 of us and 4 cars were being used. We started our journey around 9.00am and reached back at Malaysia Hall at 11.00pm. It was a very tiring journey yet enjoyable!

But, in this entry, I'm mainly not gonna talk about the theme park, but our few stops before we reach the destination and after we had turned ourselves into the hyper active young children! And knowing that not everyone is able to get the same opportunity as us, maybe due to personal matter, work committment or the distance itself, I decided to share some of our 'moment-to-remember', with all of u guys.

The fire house, Kiama. The main attraction here is actually 'the blow hole'. It is something like 'geiser' but 'geiser' usually can be found at the volcanic area if I'm not mistaken (correct me if I'm wrong). We went here on the way back from the theme park. Stopped here for about 30-40 minutes before continuing back to our place for dinner.

Oh ya, a few photos were taken and this time, the theme was about 'love'. Haha

Hmm. NOT like what u guys are thinking about. They are straight like a ruler! Wajdi and Mustaqim.

A candid shot for Marwan and his wife. This new husband and wife are so sweet together!

Aizat and Raihana. Another shot which I was very sure that they didnt realize it at all.

Searching for love. Ayu and K. Shahnaz to complete our corum of 16.

Us

L-R Back: Eddy, Macha, Bukh, Ayu, Wajdi
Front: Anwar, Rahman, K. Shahnaz

This was taken before we reached the destination. We stopped looking for toilet and while waiting, the first series of photo shoots has taken place.

Yea! I'm in! Thanks to Ayu for this photo.

Great place, Great people, Great Moment!!!
