Betul, sesiapapun lebih cantik memakai tudung!
Ayat di atas telah lama saya ingin ungkapkan secara terbuka.Ingin ditujukan kepada sahabat,rakan-rakan,saudara mara,kaum keluarga,jiran tetangga mahupun strangers yang hanya dikenali dari facebook, blog dan alam maya. Sayang apabila melihat wanita berpakaian sopan,lemah lembut tingkah lakunya tetapi ada sedikit kekurangan dari segi menutup aurat..
Ye,pakai tudung tak susah.Malah sekarang dah jadi trend..kadangkala orang pakai tudung ke pejabat dan majlis-majlis keramaian sahaja sebab kiraanya mudah, pakai tudung ni lebih sopan dan ayu.Lebih lagi, tudung ni dapat padankan baju kurung dan kebaya dengan lebih cantik.Betul tak? Contohnya kebaya putih dan kain batik, kan lebih cantik tudung dipadankan dengan warna paling menyerlah pada kain batik tersebut? Tak perlu pereka fesyen, sesiapa saja pun akan setuju dengan saya.
Tapi kena berhati-hati juga,pakai tudung ni dah jadi fesyen.Macam-macam jenis ada… Cuma kita perlu memilih yang terbaik dan melengkapi syariah. Kalau jarang atau tidak menutup dada, masih ada kekurangan di situ… Maka sama-samalah kita baiki penampilan kita. Ramai juga yang menyatakan akan pakai tudung suatu hari nanti.. macam pernah dengar dari artis2 di tv kan? Betul, niat sudah murni tapi bagaimana kalau kita tak berjaya tiba ke suatu hari tersebut? Takutnya.
Sebenarnya falsafah yang saya rasa relevan mengenai pemakaian tudung yang sempurna ni, selain menjadikan wanita itu lebih cantik,ayu, high respected dan segala-gala yang positif (ada ke orang komen wanita bertudung ni negatif? Setakat ni tak pernah dengar lagi..), adalah berkait rapat dengan taqwa. Kita memakai tudung untuk menutup aurat, seperti yang disuruhnya, adalah sebab kita takutkan Allah. Takut dengan azabnya. Juga pada masa yang sama mensyukuri nikmah yang Allah bagi.Takkan apabila mengakui syukur dengan nikmatnya,pada masa yang sama kita mengingkari perintahNya? Memang tak logik kan.
Teringat pengalaman masa menghadiri training,di mana kita diminta menilai orang pada pandangan pertama (first impression).Rasanya lebih sekali saya mendengar komen (kalau bukan ditujukan kepada saya pun,kepada orang-orang lain),`Suka la tengok akak ni.Pakaian sopan,tudung cantik semua..suka sangat'.Sekali lagi, ada ke orang yang tak suka tengok wanita bertudung sempurna dan menutup aurat.Lelaki pun suka dan akan respect wanita begini.
OK tu je.Memang jarang saya menulis topik macam ni tapi kuat terasa nak menulis kali ini. Sebab hidayah Allah itu akan sampai ke hati-hati yang dipilihnya..mungkin secara bloghopping,browsing, facebooking, facebook hopping… we never know.Semoga hati-hati kita menjadi pilihan Hidayah-Nya insya Allah.

The Blind Side
I love it when FT wrote a review on The Blind Side in his blog. I was thinking of doing one myself but eventually forgotten since I watched it months ago. Initially the film was suggested by my hubby since it is a true story about an American Football star (OK did you get it? American Football and rugby kan macam adik beradik sikit. Satu boleh baling bola ke depan, satu boleh baling sisi je.Kalau salah tolong tunjukkan.huhu). But the main attraction for me is more towards the lead actress- Sandra Bullock. Well she is my favourite actress so far..I guess since Miss Congeniality.
Kalau nak detail boleh baca review FT. But for me, I love this film since it portrays the theme -`unconditional love'. It shows how a white-middle-class family adopted a black stranger from the street,in the middle of the night, back to their huge, cozy home. Apparently, the mother, Leigh Anne Touhy (Sandra Bullock) found that the big black stranger, Michael Oher/Big Mike is her children's schoolmate. And the journey of how seemingly hopeless, slow-academic-learner like Mike became a successful football player was amazing. Just because a few strangers( not even his own real family) have faith in him and found the best side of him-his high defensive ability. This rare ability is later exploited that turned Big Mike into one of the best football player so far.
Likewise, Leigh Anne too learnt a lot during Big Mike's presence in her house. Although her family seems perfect-wealthy, classy, even her children have good manners despite being spoilt in a rich family. Minor things being highlighted by Mike's body language such when he brought his plate silently and sit at the dining table while the rest of the family ate while watching their favourite tv program. It resulted for Leigh Anne to force her husband and children to dine together at the dining table instead J Sounds familiar? I believe this exact scenario happens in our own family, more often than not.
Conclusion- go watch this movie. Sadly it was not premiered in Malaysia, I don't know why. Eventually it makes me wonder, why our local movies always focused on commercial rather than humane aspects with positive messages underneath. Well, sci-fi and comedy movies can always have some humanely aspects, no? I think we've got enough car and motor racing, hantu, samseng, call girls, cerita lovey-dovey jumpa awek masa tunggu bas or kat pasar,cinta dua darjat etcetera. It is time for real film that makes people stop and think, and appreciate life, love and human being even more.
P/S:I also believe this movie is more watched by others after Sandra Bullock got her best actress Oscar award recently. No doubt one of the best movie I've watched so far (Kakak, please include this in your DVD list,thanks.haha)

38.8 degC
-had a really high fever (usually dalam 37degC je or less)
-had fever immediately after woke up in the morning without the usual symptoms (cough,sore throat,etc)
-had immediate two days MC from a clinic known as kedekut MC
-had sick leave two weeks in a row (last week ada MC gak)
-suspected dengue but confirmed negative after a blood test
-had a blood test just because of fever(!)
while just last year I boasted off my almost no MC record (okeh,I MC sehari je tahun lepas).Sebab tu orang tua kata jangan berlagak, kan dah kena..huhu -_-
some people might say alah fever je pon, apalah big deal sangat.Tapi I really hate going to doctors.. I hate taking medicine and injections. My husband pun dah tau habit I setiap kali jumpe doktor (rahsia haha).. so this is quite something for me.Nak-nak with the second outbreak of H1N1 now adays. So ladies and gents, please take good care of yourself.

My weekend and his
While his weekend was incomparable.While I was worried he would be bored to death (kononnye without me kan), his weekend was full with meeting-wedding-rugby-balik kampung(ciss sempat !both places pulak tu)-futsal-bowling..pergh.At least I'm glad he was having equal fun.
What a busy-outdoor-lovers-couple we are...-_-

On-screen vs hardcopy?
Have you ever wonder, why some people just favour real paper books instead of e-books?
Among these people are yours truly. I can't stand e-books or lengthy wordy documents on-screen. I printed all notes during my study days and even have to take occasion breaks from looking at the monitor in my daily work (sebab tu I suka kerja luar every now and then, I can't stand the monitor lights!)
Also, ever wonder why when we typed an important document, it looked flawless and perfect. But when we printed it out and submitted to the boss, she sent it back a moment later with red correction lines and made us gape in disbelief - Why didn't I notice this typo errors during my hundred times of re-checking??
I just found the answers during my writing skills training last week.
My trainer told me; when we glare at the monitor, the light emitted goes straight to our eyes. This is called backlit image. When we read a hardcopy, the nearest lamp reflected its light to the hardcopy and then to our eyes. It is called reflected image. Generally our brain unable to focus details of backlit images compared to reflected images, hence we just realize the errors after a hardcopy proofread. At least the DailyWriting Tips agreed that hardcopy is more steadfast when it comes to proofreading and editing. Of course some lucky people might be able to write remarkable error-free piece of documents on-screen, so consider your ability as a blessing and be grateful about it J
p/s: I don't do hardcopy proofread for my blog posts. It is just way unnecessary. Please save a tree, thanks.

Last week's Fortunate/Unfortunate events
Well, the first was when my car failed to start after I finished my training in Bangi. I usually had my Asar prayer before I went home, so the parking area was quite deserted with only few people passed by. Hence I walked to the guardhouse and asked them for a mechanic's number(actually I would welcome their help tapi cover line la gak). But what I did not expect was their reluctance to help. At first, they suggested for me to walk alone to the junction, said that a workshop is just around the corner. Since I was sad and panicking, I don't dare to walk alone and insisted for the workshop's phone number instead. I can't believe they don't have a number, as they were guards in a training centre where similar events could and would occur every now and then. Amidst their reluctancy, one of them agreed to see my car's condition. Or maybe they felt guilty for the small tears welled in my eyes (sikit je ok. Biasalah panik). Pakcik tersebut shot a glance at my engine and said, `oh takboleh start ye. Nanti saya carikan jumper'.
And I waited for few minutes and he didn't return. At the same time, my dear husband's friend's friend (ye husband I tolong carikan talian hayat bila dengar wife dia bunyi cam nak nangis dah over the phone sebab kereta takleh start.Anyway tak nangis pon ok.Ego still kena maintain.Haha) came over with jumper wires. At the back of my head, I was so sure that the cause was not the battery.I just changed it a few months ago, so it is considered brand-new right? So before they started energizing my battery, I asked them to inspect the wiring first. And boy I was right (but not brave enough to look myself, typical woman), the wire did not touch the battery cap. So the kind hearted guys helped to tighten it up and asked me to pour hot water later to ensure the elements keep in contact. I happily thanked them and hopped off to fetch my husband in the office. The best/worst part is, the guard never return. Sabar je lah. Sila blacklist pakcik guard tersebut ok.
Kesimpulan part one:
1)My husband bought me jumper wires to be kept in my car. He insisted it will be very important whenever I face similar situation in the future. But I still think the most important thing to have instead of jumper wires are AAM toll free or a mechanic's number. Haha.Lady drivers semua mesti sependapat dengan I.Kan?
2)Bukan semua pakcik guard adalah helpful sanggup menolong wanita yang dalam kesusahan.
OK habis part one.
My second unfortunate event started the very next day. Both husband and I went back early from office, happily (sebab jalan tak jem, cuti sekolah). I even planned to cook a simple dinner that night. When we approached the lift to our house, the security guard (eh apa asik citer pasal pakgad ni?aish dejavu plak) told us the TNB guys had pulled out our meters.What?? I almost shout to the guard in anger (spontaneously, I got a short temper anyway) but suddenly realized it was not his fault. And I noticed hubby was extremely calm hence I gained back my self control and tak jadi marah.Padahal pak gad tu baik nak inform apasal aku marah dia plak.
When we reached home, of course all electrical appliances were not functioning. We called TNB aduan line and got false promise to return our call after a short while (Mengapakah perkara ini selalu terjadi?Baik takyah jadi operator Aduan line). Only the second call answered our messy encounter. The previous owner closed his account without informing us. This time I almost sure my husband will turn into Incredible Hulk out of anger (Saye pon kena marah sekali..uu sedey) because all this won't happen if the previous owner make JUST one phone call to inform us. But when Allah says it will happen, it still will. Alhamdulillah we were still very conscious of that.
To make things worse, we misplaced the SnP and husband was convinced it was left at his parents' house. So off we went, in the middle of the night balik Seremban. But the SnP was nowhere to be found. So the next day (after informed our bosses of our EL), we called our lawyer and obtained the amended SnP from her. Then, rushed back to KL to open our account before everyone leave for Friday prayer. Siap kena merayu-rayu pakcik meter to install our meter on the day since it was Friday and they don't work on weekends. Finally, our meter was installed the same day. Terima kasih kepada pakcik meter dan kuncu-kuncunya, you guys made a great effort to light up our house,literally! (eh jangan memain, one of our contingency plan is to sleep in the nearby hotel, tapi masalahnya hotel semua penuh di akhir cuti sekolah.Bagus gak,kalau tak kopak juga)
Kesimpulan part two:
1) Please communicate; you won't know the impact of communication breakdown to other people until you experience it yourself. Sometimes the solution is just a phone call away.
2) Never delay to change your electric account whenever you bought a house from someone.
Sekian.
But at least, my weekends were filled with joy of the others. I attended three weddings, and a rugby match. Haha congrats to all the newly weds. Only some minor glitch, I forgot to bring extra clothes so I was the awkward lady in white silk baju kurung di tepi padang tengok orang main rugby after attending my schoolmate's wedding. Haih sabar je lah..I don't mind the stares but baju kurung just restricted me to sit on the grass and enjoy the game wholeheartedly. Itu je.
Enjoy your days, everyone.

Cliche question
I replied, `okay' and I alas my hand with my telekung and salam as usual, pastu terus kedua-dua kami terkejut.
Sebab eventually I salam cium tangan cam biase, maka batal gak air sembahyang kan...haha so much on nak retain air sembahyang la kononnya kan..:P Sorry dear, tak sengaja :P Tapi fikir balik I gelak sorang-sorang sebab beriya alas tangan tapi cium tangan my husband. Ntah pape tah.

Healthy food, tasty food

The reason I write this is actually to stress out the importance of good food for our well being, inside out. The best food is of couse from your own cooking, although there is no harm to dine out once in a while.But do choose your food wisely as it will become our blood and veins and actually affected our attitude and personality.
And I just found verses in AL Quran that emphasize on good and halal food:
Firman-Nya:” Wahai para rasul, Makanlah makanan yang baik-baik (halal) dan kerjakanlah amal soleh. Sesungguhnya Aku Maha Mengetahui apa yang kamu kerjakan.” (al-Mukminun:51)
“Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Makanlah rezeki yang baik-baik yang telah kami rezekikan kepadamu...”(al-Baqarah:172)
With that, let's embrace healthy lifestyle, people :)

Resurface later
It shows in your eyes.
It lingers around you.
It is obvious on your body language.
And the stutter of words.
Or even if it doesn't show, it will resurface later.. at the right place and the right time.
P/S: This is not a hatred post.I am just deep in thought and wondering the what ifs, while studying the people and their behaviours. Human is interesting creature, indeed.

Pre-wed memoir#3-Wedding gift
(this post is strictly for BFFs,best friends,good friends and everything in between.No room for judging whatsoever please)
Lately ramai orang tanye pasal ape wedding gift yg i nak.Based on several conversation previously, me and my friends agreed that despite adab org melayu yang pemalu dan tak meminta2, bakal2 pengantin kalau boleh specify kan apa yg dihajati supaye tak dapat hadiah yang same berdozen2 last2 semak kat stor atau bungkus balik bagi kat kawan lain (eh ni org cakap la, tak tau betul ke tak.huhu tapi agak kurang bermoral:P)Jadi setelah ditimbang2 tara I will list down beberapa items yang i `tak perlu' (sebab dah ade/mmg tak perlu, tapi sekiranya I still dapat I masih menerima dengan senang hati):
Wedding gift yang I TAK PERLU:
1. Steam Iron
2. Set pinggan mangkuk (tapi kalau nak bagi Corelle I nakkkk! hahaa)
3. Rice cooker
4. Peti ais (macam lah ade org nk bagi kan.haha)
5. Laptop/blackberry/tv (hahah ape ni perasan)
6.Towel mandi
7. Kettle plastik (kalo Tefal nak! i prefer metal electric kettle though)
8. Pasu bunga/bunga hiasan/teddy bear
9. Coffee maker
10. Sandwich maker
11.Kuali (kalo maxim n tefal ok kot..the non stick range)
Hmm basically tu je kot.Kiranya I still need most of home appliances as I am not buying anything for the new home yet..saje pas kawin baru nak cari.Nevertheless, your presence is the most important thing for my wedding :) love lots and see you ;)
