Suku Abad
Today marks my 25th anniversary of me living on earth! Kejap je rasa, dah suku abad. Alhamdulillah, Allah kasik lagi masa utk beramal, bertaubat, dan menikmati alam indah ciptaanNya. :) Just feel like posting sth on my special day...Hihi.. hmm.. hmm...

According to my birth cert, i was born at around 9.16 pm at HBKL. My mom said she had had labour pains since the night before. Sian mama.. maybe i was too comfortable being in her womb kot, takmo kuar. Hihi. Mom said tht many people were there to witness my birth, sbbnya, during tht time, there were practical MD students in the labour room. Hihi.. baru2 lahir dah popular gitu kan. ;) After i was born, mom was taken care of wan, my late dad's mom.. and after tht, dia blk kg, so tht my nenek, her own mom can take care of her. Dia kata wan jaga pantang teruk2. Mmg very strict pantang. Ye la, menantu 1st kan, lgpun, i'm the 1st cucu born on my dad's side. Mesti la wan nak jaga betui2. Hihi... (if its my turn nanti, nak mintak wan jaga pantang lah. Teruk2 takpe, janji after tht cun! Hihi..)

Back then, when i was a toddler, i was taken care of wan and arwah tok anjang, my late dad's father. I was the only cucu yg sempat jumpa tok anjang. He used to take for vespa rides masa ptg2, along with my paksu. After tht, he got sick, and he was in bed all the time, until it was his time to go. Sedey. After tht day, everytime wan solat, i'd see tears streaming down her face.

Later, i was taken care of nenek and arwah atuk, my mom's parents. I attended my preschool there. Every morning, nenek hantar gi skolah. I'd be the only one wearing mary-janes white shoes, yg lain pakai kasut skolah biasa je. Ye la. Atuk n nenek kira agak berada la. Lgpun, usually, like once a week, a small lorry selling shoes will come by to the kg, and nenek will get me a pair without fail. I'd walk with my frens back from kindy, and mesti nk capai aiskrim or jajan kat kedai nenek. Hari2 mintak chickadees kat nenek. Nenek n atuk owned a grocery shop dulu. It was really fun. As a child everything was interesting kan, and i always got shoo-ed away when i wanted to "help". Hihi..

When i was 6, mom brought me back to KL to live with them. I was sent to another kindy in kg pandan. Hihi.. 1st time there, i went into the boys' toilet. A girl named ashrah told me tht it was the wrong toilet. Too late though. I was already doing my thang... haha! And i remembered everyone had to stand up on the stage, because some kid called one teacher fatty, so we all got punished for that. Lols!

Age 7, started my primary school yrs in BBGS. It was indeed a real fun time. I was a prefect, but i dont think i had the prefects quality. Hihi. Been a prefect since i was in std 2. lols. I remember my class teacher in std 3, she'd usually doze off to sleep while marking our books. Habis bercoreng2 buku kitorg. Lols.

Secondary years, i was still in BBGS. Helluva fun time. I loved going to school the most. Even though the school was like far from home, i didnt mind it at all. My school was like in the middle of the city. Hotels n shopping complexes were surrounding it but we didnt see tht as sth tht deprives us of good education and a good environment for studying. Within the school compounds, we're enveloped by colonial buildings and lush greeneries. Perfect surrounding for us. I loved the school. Too bad it had to be demolished. :( Ohh... and we love it the most when the school hosts the drama or choral speaking competition. There'll be boys from around town in the all girls' school compound! What a great sight! Boy.. i miss my school, my schoolyears, my school mates...
"Within these walls we've built our lives,
For a hundred years it stayed with us,
Let us keep it standing strong..."


After school, for the 1st time of my life, i'd to go through dormitory life in KMK for my matriculation. It was difficult at first, i was home sick, i missed my school friends.. but it turned out allright. My dorm-mates were very nice, they made me feel at home. Hihi.. teringat Nura buat lawak at 1am... letak colgate kat mata. camne boleh salah letak pun tatau. Haha!! Panic pergi washroom. Then, i learned to play tennis there. Suka coach tu. He made us juggle 3 tennis balls during the 1st lesson. Haha... and i can still do that!!

Then, i proceeded my campus life in USM Engineering, Tronoh. I'd never imagined campus life would teach me a lot. :) A lot happened, a lot learned. During tronoh years, we used to cycle ramai2, pergi cyber cafe outside the campus. Quite far jugak. There was one time, kitorg jatuh basikal, sbb gatal nak naik sekali 5 org atas satu basikal. Lols. After tronoh, the campus was shifted to Transkrian... hehe.. where we started to main masak2 in the room. Nasib baik penggawa tak dapat tau. We used to cook sardines n telur goreng for sahur during fasting mth. Usually tukang masak azno n kDilla la. Makan ramai2, n kitorg yg tak masak ni kemas la. Hmm.. campus life ni la paling byk activity. Jungle trekking la, kayaking la, fish feeding la, lepak2 smpi larut mlm in penang la, facial la, aerobics la, diving la... Macam2 la. All because i've got cool friends with cool n exciting ideas of things tht we could do. Thanks you guys for making my campus life a memorable one. You guys are the best! Oh.. and masa campus life jugakla i learned what it was like to fall in love with someone, what it was like to be missing someone dear, what it felt like to have my heart torn apart, what it felt like to lose a family (my dad passed away in 2001)... and not to forget what it was like to have "cold war" with a friend. Hihi. Apapun, semua tu dah berlalu... me n the cold war friend are now best buddies. The heartbreaker pun is still my friend. Yg buruk jadikan sempadan dah la kan?

At 22, i found a special someone online who turned out to be my knight in shining armour, the love of life, DAN. :)

Now at 25, i'm still in campus, doing what's left of my research. Most of the time, i'm happy with what life has to offer me. At times when i feel low, i know i could lean on to Dan and my mom and all my friends who cares for me. I may not be wealthy, my wallet might not always be full of cash, but i know, i'm blessed with the finer things in life; happiness and friendship. :)

Perghh.. pjgnya posting. Btw, pada hari baik bulan baik ni, i'd like to announce tht i'm getting married end of this year. November insyaAllah. The nikah will on 11/11/05, my reception on 12/11/2005. I'll keep updating. Hope all my friends can make it. :D
