semester break = outings + food dilemmas + gadgets malfunctioning.

PEACE be upon YOU! ;) 

Wheee~ Last Thursday, i accompany my friend Ayu Dafitri to our former secondary school to meet our beloved former class teacher, cikgu Latifah Hamid. Ayu told me that she was quite jealous reading my previous blog entry about the gathering that my classmates and i have held on the teacher's day last week. Last week, she couldn't join us because she's still at Perak facing her final exams at UniKL. So, now only she could come to school and freshen up all the sweet memories there, and meet the teachers as well. ;) We bumped into quite a number of teachers; cikgu Zarina, ustazah Nazifah, cikgu Normawati, cikgu Azerin, cikgu Aminah, my library teacher; Teacher Norita and of course cikgu Latifah! umm, that was after we took our SPM certificate at the office.

 We spent our time for a while at the library, [the place where i spent most of my time back then as a librarian] :') Teacher Norita also had a short chat with us, she motivated us, asking about our current life, my family, and stuffs and also sharing with us about her cute lil kids. :D after that we met cikgu Latifah, she was about to 'belanja' us for the lunch, AGAIN! but we denied since she's still got class to enter until 1 o'clock. We have got to buy a few things at OTK, Thus, we immediately made our way to OTK. but unfortunately, we were totally forget to took some pictures with the teachers at school. how sad. :(

*at the bus stop near school also can :P

At OTK, Ayu bought some fish, chickens, and some ingredients to made triffle. While i only bought an orange coloured board, colourful sticky note strips, and body scrubber sponge.haha.perlu ke cerita? i bought the board to made it as my so called memo board at college on this coming semester. since i've got the living room or a.k.a. 'RT', instead of the bedrooms. so that i won't get any supply of white board, study lamp and stuffs. that's why i have to made my own initiative to bring along mine. (T_T)

After that we had our lunch at KFC. We wanted to try out the limited time menu, 'Pokkits'. but the meal was so frustrating me!! the advertisement shows the price of ala carte Pokkits is RM2.60. while the combo set is RM5.50. i ordered for the combo, but since i changed the soft drinks to lipton iced lemon tea, so i've got to add RM1.50 to the price of the combo set menu, making the total price of the TINY pokkits and A MEDIUM CUP of drink cost RM7 not yet include the government tax. duhhh~ i felt like i've been cheated by KFC for the hundreds of times. well, all of the KFC's meals are always small and the pricing are always unreasonable! it would be better if i bought Mcd Chicken foldover, it cost RM9.95 which include the drinks and french fries! Plus, it has a bigger portion of meal. Unlike this 'pokkits' thinggy! even my wallet is bigger than it. heh~

Ayu complained about the Pokkits as well. According to her, the wrap doesn't taste good coz it's neither soft nor crispy at all. and the combination of the saltiness of the grated cheese and the sweet-and-sour-ness of the manggo sauce is a very terrible combination!

it seems like my iced lemon tea which cost me about RM4.50 is way too 'valuable' compared to my pokkits which costs RM2.60! and even a bottle of Twister. LOL!

Oh! not to forget,, the day before on Wednesday, i went for an outing with other friends, which were Nurizzani and Abdul Muzil. When we were having our lunch at Subway in Times Square, something funny happened. This friend of mine, Muzil somehow was having so called 'dilemma' with his food when he excidentally dropped the meatball from his sandwich.

 See the meatball up here. HAHA. Izzani couldn't say a word when seeing that. xD So we just pretended like nothing has happened and went to surau after finishing our meals. After done the Zohor prayer, we walked to Low Yatt since Izzani was looking for an external hard disk. Actually we wanted to watch the movie 'What to expect when you're expecting' but then, the showtime was quite late. Thus, we cancelled the plan.

At the Low Yatt Plaza, i took the chance to asked this one 'apek' at the Apple store about my ipod touch. Earlier that morning, after i woke up and was about to check the time, suddenly i found out that the screen was blank. The apek told me that to check and fix it would cost me more than RM150. Then i was like, "aiyaa~ sokay la apek. i better buy new one or fix the iphone instead of this 2nd generation ipod". But deep down inside i was quite dissappointed coz this ipod was a gift from my brother back in 2008 for getting straight A's in PMR. :'( Even my brother's ASUS that i've been using at campus back in these 5 months suddenly couldn't functioning and turned blank as well. I don't know why all these happened within this week! haiyaiii~~

At the LowYatt Plaza, i also heard something that i find it funny. When we walked around the mall i heard a guy talked to one seller like this "Aiyoo~ why so mahal??!! got free gift ahh??". That line indeed reminded me so much to the video on Youtube entitled 'Only in Malaysia' which tell us that most people in our country would always ask for FREE GIFT when buying something expensive. HAHA. From the Low yatt, we walked through the Sungei Wang Plaza and dropped by at F.O.S. first to buy basic tshirts, before we walked into the Fahrenheit 88 Mall. Afterwards, we walked along the new 562 meters fully air-conditioned pedestrian bridge; the KLCC-Bukit Bintang Walkway. From the KLCC, we took the LRT back to our home sweet home. Wheee~ we saved some RM kachingg~kachingg~ since we only took the LRT, instead of taking the Monorail as well. :D

here is one of the views inside of the walkway. Sorry, i don't have any 'model' here. Both of my friends were too shy to enter frame. ;)

celebrating teacher's day at school!

السّلام عليكم

PEACE be upon YOU! ;) 
Last Wednesday, on the 16th May 2012, Muzaireen, Amirah Diana, Niezwan, Sufian, Fikri, Hafiz, Aidil, Qutbi, leman, and I went to our beloved secondary school, SMK Gombak Setia. :D
At first, we [all 5 Sejahtera 2010 students] planned to organize a so called reunion at the Kemensah Heights. So that we could picnicking, barbecuing, etc. Everyone agreed with the plan. but then, after all UiTM, Matriculations, IIUM, and UTP students have had our Semester Break, there were still a few of our classmates at other private universities and colleges doesn't had their sem break yet. Thus, only a few of us attended the event. However, we eventually decided to meet up at school on the Teacher's Day instead of picnicking at the waterfall.
We had set the time to meet up at 11 a.m. , but as expected, Malay Promises a.k.a. 'Janji Melayu' is always fulfilled in a 'timely manner'.HAHAHA. Around 12 noon, we showed up at the school and watched the teachers playing all those typical 'teacher's day games' which was conducted by our classmate, Syarifhidayat, who's still studying there in Upper Form 6. :)
 

P/S: i'm jealous because when i was still a student of this school, the menu was not this long. and the canteen tender was always under a very bad management. huh~

We waited at the canteen untill the teachers finished participating in all of those activities scheduled. At 2.30 p.m. then only the teachers finished watching the podcast video of speech from the Education Minister if i'm not mistaken. Yet, our patience worth the time consumed. Our former class teacher, Mrs Latifah Hamid kindly gave us quite a big sum of money to buy KFC! muahahaa~ *evil laugh*

Thus, we had KFC as our lunch with this beloved Maths teacher of our class.

Aside from that, i also brought my own homemade Red Velvet Cake. Just like the previous years, i am always given the task to bring a cake during our potluck gathering.

oh ya! i almost forgot to tell that 16th May is Syarifhidayat's and Hafiz Nordin's birthday. Therefore, Mrs Latifah requested for them to cut the cake for her. :D Seeing those two boys cuting the cake indeed reminds me so much to their so called 'surprise' birthday party back in 2008 at Sufian's house which was also organized by me. :')

nothing much changes at Syarif's style, he is still the old 'cute' him. :P but Seeing Hafiz's 'Hard Hair Look' back in those teenage years, almost made me laugh out loud. :DDD

while the cutie little Niezwan in the picture up here is no longer exist. He's now have grown up into a mature guy. ecehh~ :P

okay, back to the teacher's day celebration thinggy, oh ya, Mrs Latifah's daughter, Yasmin Hanani were there too during the celebration. She's waiting for her mum to go back home together. but the funny part was, my friend, Niezwan kept teasing her by pretending to 'seduce' her. :P and then my teacher asked, "so what about Syazana? Where would you put her?" LOL! somehow she still remember the gossips that used to spread in our class back then. ;)

After we finished eating those KFC's chickens, there were still half of my Red Velvet Cake left. So my teacher asked each and everyone of us like. . . "Amirah, do have some more cakes." but everyone refused not to eat some more and pretend to be so full. She eventually said, "Fatin, i'll bring this remaining cake home okay?" :P hambek kau~ kunun ada lah baki untuk mereka bawa pulang ke rumah. xD

Not long after that, she decided to go back home. and thus, we made our way to KL Festival City a.k.a. KLFC to spend some more time together. Since it was quite late, so we decided to just window shopping and not to watch any movie.
but it wasn't just a 'window shopping' for Aidil. He wanted to buy a new pants since Niezwan's Iced Tea had spilled on his white pants that he was wearing. That's why he kept covering up the pants with his hand like this >>>

However, he couldn't find a pair of pants that suits his style and his 'wallet' as well. :P so he end up not buying any new pants. but somehow he bought a sweater instead??? whattafish???!!!

After accompanying Aidil to find a brand new pants for himself, and helping out Hafiz to find a handbag for him to present it to his girlfriend, we went to an arcade. Eryn, Mira,Apiz, and Aidil were so eager playing with the games there. While the rest went to the bookshop. :) one weird fact about most of my boys ex-classmates is, they really love to read love novels. believe it or not? :DDD Eryn sent me home that evening and that's how the day ends. i slept early that night, since i only slept for 2 hours the morning before, after i've finished baking the cake.

The next day, i accompany Firdaus Salim a.k.a Pedot to another so called 'SCHOOL' of mine, the British Council  Institute. He planned to take up a general English course there in order to improve his English before continue studying. He really wanted to persue his studies in Cairo, after i recommended him to watch the Indonesian movie "Ketika Cinta Bertasbih 1&2"!! LOL! Urmm~ Since i used to take up a few classes at BC previously, that's why he asked me to guide him there. Awwwh~ there's no much changes at the British Council. However, those 'cute' looking chinese receptionist are no longer working there. :(

After done at British Council, we went to KLCC to had our lunch. :D I finally ate my favourite mcd Chicken Foldover after almost 4 years[if i'm not mistaken] it was discontinued. Oh, two of our friends, Syuhada and Anis Nadia currently are working at a bakery shop in KLCC. Thus, i called Anis to come over, but she's on off day. and then i called Syuhada Hussin a.k.a Syue too, to come over to the food court since i  brought along 2 slices of the Red Velvet Cake that she craving for recently. So, she came and spent about half an hour with us. She ate one slice of it, and left another one for Pedot. She even tweeted the picture of the cake that i brought for her on Twitter. :P how excited she was!

Hey look! He even bought the novel with the same title with the movie at Kinokuniya that day. How obsessed he is towards that story. :O

we quickly went back home right after that, because i have to babysit my niece Aleena that evening. and that's how the story ends. :D

Ramadhan 1432H. [2011]

السّلام عليكم

Peace be upon YOU readers! ;)

  yeah i know. it has been quite some time i didn't update my blog.

so now it's time for me to do a so called 'summary' for what i've been passed through back in the fasting month. :)

okay, throughout the fasting month, i became a 'maid' in my house! LOL!

since my mum is a school teacher for the afternoon session, so she would come back home quite late,nearly to the breaking fast time.

so she said that i must cook at least a bowl of veggie every evening for the iftar meals.

for the rest of the dishes, like fish or chicken, she would bought it from the Bazaar Ramadhan.

so here's some sneak peek of the dishes that i cooked. ececee~ poyo!

 okay, do you notice that all of the five bowls of veggies above just look the same?? LOL!

the only thing that differentiate one to another is just the type of the veggie used. ROFL! 

and the must-have-ingredient in my dishes are surely the 'crab balls'.hahaa,,

 carrot cake that i've cut into two for my family and my aunt's family.

 

 dadih. :)

 chocolate jelly. [in the making]

 

 after getting bored of breaking fast at home for weeks, we finally iftar outside.

and the venue was at the Lanai Kijang Restaurant, Bank Negara,,

since my brother has worked at Bank Negara now, he's willing to pay the bill! theeeehee~ :D

the food and drinks at the restaurant is so so cheap compared to other restaurant because it has been subsidized. :)

 towards the end of the fasting month, i went out iftar with my old friends, the friends that i met during primary school!

i never thought that i could gathered back many of my classmates back in the year 2002 until 2005 through Facebook by creating a group, with the help of a class picture of mine as my reference. :D

after planning for few days and creating an event invitation on Facebook,, many of my old classmates gave a positive respond by answering either "attending", "maybe" or "not attending".

and the day finally came and that was the first time in my life i'm going out iftar with friends. theeehee~

but what disappointing me was many of the girls and boys suddently said that they couldn't join us.

out of 10 girls that answered "attending",only one did really came. -,-"

 so we asked Arif to made a prank calls to the girls and masquerade as Suhaimi.[one of our ex-classmate who's currently studying in France] telling that "i've just came back to Malaysia,,why don't you join us gathered? i miss you!" something like that,,so that they might believe and come to join us.HAHAHAA~

 and yeahh! one of the prank call victims came with her lil' sister. :D

 after Iftar, we went to the nearest arcade center and spent about half an hour there playing like little kids. :D

the five of us: Arif, Alif Fadhullah, Thalhah, me,and Fatin Amalina. :)

 the next night, i went out for Iftar with my family at Cheng Ho restaurant,the Chinese-Muslim food restaurant! :D

as many people had known,, the owner of the restaurant is the Malaysian legendary rock singer, Amy Search. "pheewiit~"

during Ramadhan, the restaurant changed into the buffet concept restaurant. eat all you can! :D

 Faheem was making some 'Boboiboy' actions in order to get attention from other people in the restaurant. haha. :P

 my little niece, Aleena! ;)

 my little nephew, Faheem! ;)

 nenek secretly feed Faheem a bowl of ice cream while his parents were away! :O HAHA.

Faheem's aeroplane and the bill. :)

 Faheem always afraid of cats! :P hihi~

i think that's all for now,,

later on insyaallah i'll update about my Syawal experience. :D

till then c ya!
