DELAYED STORY: BETONG (day 2 & 3)

COCK-A-DOODLE-DOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

woke up at 5 am thanks to Mr Rooster. i wasnt very sure of the prayer time in betong. i forgot to ask mak bu.......

"ALLAHU AKBAR, ALLAHU AKBAR!"

 i was told that the surau is just one house away. so yeah.. i could hear Azan loud and clear. Hani is still sound asleep so i go ahead and refresh myself to perform Subuh and maybe help Mak with the breakfast. i didn't know what time Mak woke up but as i came down to shower, she was already in the kitchen, preparing breakfast. she was only preparing drinks 'cos she said we'll have breakfast in town.

we (my family angkat and i) aint got no cars but we have 2 motorcycles. there's bapak, mak, kak siti, kak mai, adha, me and hani. guess how do we get to places?? yepp.. send one person, then fetch another at home. jangan sik ngencerik idup susah... it was a fun exeperience!

so we had to be at the school by 8 am for the program. we started off by warming up with some cute xi shua shua dance and some spanish dance.

so we played some games with the Betong kids. oh! i met joe's younger brother. kak mai said he's a little bit different from the other kids. through my observation, he's just hyperactive. he won the musical chair twice! hahah..

that nite after performing zapin johor for the closing ceremony, we went to rumah pengantin for what we sarawakian called it as "berlulut" where the bride took photos in different traditional costumes. hey, did i tell you that the bride is joe's classmate and also his sister-in-law? yes. we went to joe's elder brother's wedding.  sik cukup berzapin di dewan sekolah for closing ceremony, we were asked to berzapin d rumah pengantin. ko pahammm?? yahhhh...

but let me tell you something, the best thing about kampung weddings is that the togetherness among the villagers. the celebration was a lot different from the one i've been to. meriah with the bergendang and bertandak and everything. dont really know how to put em into words. u have to be there to experience everything.

we went back to unimas on the next day. the trip was short but the most meaningful experience ever! i gained a lot from the trip. it's been like 2 months and i miss betong so much. i'll definitely go there again someday. :)

the boy in red is joe's younger brother. hey, i look like one of em! ahaks!

meet pija! very quiet and adorable

the bride. she's my age

the bride and groom diarak on this high chair which has "just married" written at the back

heheh.. yes. maok jwak merasa duduk sia.
btw, i didnt know sharul and ijat standing behind us until i saw this photo

p/s: will update bout my family angkat in a different post. toodles!

SCHOOL TOOL FOOL DROOL WOOL COOL POOL and everything that rhymes...

assalamualaikum and whaddup 2013!

it's the first week of school and that means it's time for me to DO my cousin's homework.
YES. DO.
well not that i'm the one writing the answers and all. but the fact that i'm the one who have to think of the answers is sill considered as DOING the homework for them right?

kids nowadays. waiting to be fed instead of feeding themselves.

hey,
back in my time, i did ALL  of my homeworks ON M OWN.. finished them all and let mama check the answers for me. if there're mistakes, i find the solutions ON MY OWN. i dont remember relying on people for answers. could say that i was kinda independent back then. and still am NOW! doing my assignments without relying on other people in my group cos that's how i roll and again, not complaining. :)

oh!
except for my physics homework back when i was 16 where i copied my classmates homework cos i didnt understand a single thing that my teacher had taught. heheh.. but that's a different case.. well maybe some other more homework back in high school that i copied from my friends and again, it's a different situation 'cause when u're a teenager, u have that extra lazy hormones in you.. heheh

oh! and that time when i was too lazy to do my homework and i just didnt do it and just waited for the answers from my teacher. hahah!

ok fine im as lazy as kids nowadays. or maybe i am one of the kids nowadays.. hmmmm...

ok then toodles!

DELAYED STORY: BETONG (day 1)

assalamualaikum! this has been delayed for so long. so here goes.

i have always wanted to know how it feels like staying in a kampung.

staying in a rumah kayu, 

listening to sound of nature, 

the smell of fresh air..

well hey! alhamdulillah i was given the opportunity to experience all that during my trip to betong last month. it was a little something something for the kids in kampung hulu + kampung hilir + kampung baru during their school breaks. 

we called it "SCHOOL HOLIDAY ATTACK!"

on our way there, we had some mini accident. 

im not really sure what happened but i guess our bus was scratched my a lorry passing by. 

causing our back window to crack. 

ijat sat near that window so he was a lil bit traumatised my that. poor ijat. 

the look on his face when that happened....

and plus, our tyre was flat too so we had to stop some place that i dont really know the name to change it. hey, guess what i saw??

tadaaaa! piggiesss!! teehee!

i know its kinda rare to find this kinda of things in semenanjung. 

those piggies were grunting when we passed by to go to the toilet. 

anis was like "bunyi apa tu? bunyi apa tu??" 

hahah!

so yeah... because of the unwanted accident, we arrived later than we expected. 

we waited at a school for our family angkat to fetch us there. 

yess.. we have family angkat!! 

i'll tell you guys about them in a different post.. :) 

guess what? mak (my mak angkat) cooked very early knowing that we're gonna be very hungry after the 6-hour journey. 

and they waited for us to eat together. awwww...

i guess that's all for day 1... to be continued...

xoxo,

A WEEKEND WITH THE FUTURE ENGINEERSSSSSS

assalamualaikum!

hey ho! lets go!

hahah ok that was random..

let me tell you something bout my weekend.

so last friday, mama texted me telling that her flight to kuching is at 1230 hours.

and i was like:

"how come i just know this now????"

ok so she was in kuching for a business trip. some workshop with unimas final year engineering students. *wink*

mama asked me to tag along.

hey, orang lapar jangan disuak ngan k makannn.. hahah!

they stayed at regal court.

i came there on saturday, hantar barang mama.

then mama asked me to stay.

again, orang mengantuk, jangan disorongkan bantal. ahaks!

i sat quietly at the back.

trying to ignore the stares.

and "cuci mata" at the same time.

ahaks!

i saw rajak, nisa's batch-mate back in mrsm, he waved, i waved back.

i saw saiful, my english groupmate, he didnt see me at first, but of course i had to tegur him.

i saw abang snowcap, sitting right in front of me.

i met efa, also my english groupmate, was kinda surpirse cos she wore a hijab back at the campus.

aaaannnnndddd...

of course i had my eyes on one of the engineersss..

ahaks!

so yeah, sat the facilitator table at the back, with one of the fk technician/photographer.

we chat a little and bam! we're friends! i think.

but ummm.. didnt know his name.

i joined them for their assignment presentation, barbecue, karaoke, and the certificate presentation dinner.

wanted to bring amy to the barbecue+karaoke, but mama was afraid that we would have to send amy back home late and the orang rumah will bisin. sorry amy..

oh!

i sat at the VIP table together with their dean and the deputy dean. and of course my mom as well.

i was super duper hungry before, which i actually cried, and mama asked me to wait until the dinner.

yeah righttttt... the food portion was VERYYYY SMALL!!

shoulda sit with the participants for extra food. :(

some of them thought that i too worked for shell. alaaa.. akak ni, kitew 2nd year kat unimas jugax leww..

and i was told my miss ain, FK staff that the deputy dean said that i am beautiful. 

ahaks! malu amewx..

that's all bout my weekend!

still collecting my betong feel to tell you bout my betong trip.

toodles!

p/s: i get super insecure when people start to stare at me.

THE FUTURE ENGINEERS OF UNIMAS. UNIMAS GEMILANG!!
