Sinopsis Raya

SINOPSIS RAYA SEKALI IMBAS

Setiap kali menjelangnya Hari Raya.. aku tak berapa pasti apakah perasaanku.. Happy? Excited? Seronok? Hm.. susah nak cakap.. mungkin sebab factor usia yang telah sedikit sebanyak meluluhkan semangat rayaku ataupun disebabkan oleh banyak factor2 lain…yang susah hendak ku luahkan di sini…yang nyata Hari Raya bagiku tidaklah semeriah korang semua.. tapi tuh dah masuk topic lain plak.. post ni nak cerita yang hepi2 je.. okek!!

Tahun ni first time aku balik beraya ke kampong my dad di Kampung Manjoi, Ipoh, Perak (He’s not my real father but he’s been married with my mom for 5 years, and setakat ni aku happy sebab dia baik terhadap kami sekeluarga..and yang penting a good companionship to my mom…) Dan inilah kali pertama aku pulang beraya sekali dgn keluarga ku ke sana.. Seblum2 nie my mom pernah balik beraya ke sana tapi disebabkan oleh banyak faktor2 luaran dan dalaman diriku ini yang rumit.. aku sengaja tak ikut mereka pulang beraya (ape yang tak kena ngan aku ni.. yek..) Truth is aku bukan tak mahu tapi aku tak biasa .. segan pon ada kot.. yelah aku tak kenal sorang pon kat sana.. seganla ..aku ni kan pemalu hehehe…ntahlah.. complicated subject huh? Tapi lain pula kisahnya kalau pulang beraya ke Indon..(kampong mama) cepat aje aku siap packing !! Hehehe…!

Lagi satu aku rasa agak sedih dan kekurangan sebab aku rindu kat adik aku yang jauh nun di perantauan … yelah adik aku lahir pagi raya.. so setiap pagi raya aku slalu wish dia Happy Burfday.. huwaaa ..!! Dah 2 tahun beraya tanpa dia.. sedeh woo.. so korang better appreciate adik2 korang.. dulu masa kekecik aku slalu buli dia.. tapi skarang dah besar dia je yang memahami kakak dia yang gila ni…this post dedicated to you Shawal!!! Hehehehe…




Sehari Sebelum Hari Raya
Kami pulang sehari seblum hari raya.. iaitu hari Jumaat bersamaan dengan 12/10/07.. naik van besor plak tuh.. tak ramai pon cuma aku, mama and my dad.. hehehe.. seblum tuh kami singgah untuk pickup Kak Leha . Siapa Kak Leha? Dia kakak my dad. Kire makcik aku lah… Dia ngan Shera (anak bongsu dia) ikut sekali kami pulang ke Ipoh. Husband dia and anak2 dia yang lain ikut naik keta lagi satu kat belakang, kire mcm konvoi lah…sedar tak sedar (maknanya aku tertidur la sepanjang perjalanan) kami dah sampai Ipoh and ngam2 time berbuka puasa.. my dad dulu kerja Hotel Exelsior kat Ipoh for a long time (I think 15 years kot) seblum dia pindah ke KL…so kami pon pergilah makan buffet di sana.. sampai je kat sana kami dijemput makan mcm tetamu VIP plak hohohoho! Sedap sedap semua makanan dier…yang paling aku suke pita bread tuna sandwich dier…mcm ala2 KFC cheesy melts tapi yang ini dalam nye pakai tuna

Lepas makan and solat Maghrib kami meneruskan perjalanan ke Hotel Heritage, Ipoh. Sesampainya di sana aku sebilik ngan anak2 dara Kak Leha, namely Shera and Farra (kiut2 deorg ni, Shera still high skool, si Farra plak baru 21 kut.. baru start bekerja) kitorang end up tgk tv sampai lewat malam sambil berborak.. mcm slumber party pulak!

Pagi Hari Raya
Pagi raya kami semua cecepat bersiap untuk beramai2 ke masjid untuk menunaikan solat Hari Raya, tapi sebelum tu kami pickup Fatin and Khairul (my dad’s children.. kire my siblings jugak la kan) we went to pick them up from their mother’s place (confusing kan? ) So anyway kami pergi Masjid Tambun, Ipoh, untuk menunaikan Solat Raya...untuk pengetahuan korang dah lama gila tak pegi sembahyang raya..sebabnya selalu 'raya awal' hehehehe.. lepas solat kitorg berkumpul di rumah Kak Esah (my dad’s eldest sister) , introduced to new cousins….. namely Lila n Nana...Semua berkumpul kat sana coz Tok Tamin (granddad) is still alive and well (although he has lost his voice and some of his memory)… sambil2 makan, borak2… tangkap2 gamba…kami meneruskan perjalanan ke rumah Makcik Bedah (random grand-aunty), makcik zai (random grand aunty), LEPAS TU... sambung makan beraya ke rumah Kak Bibah (my dad’s third elder sister) kat sini makan nasi tomato hehehe..berkenalan dgn cousin2 lagi.. nadia n fatihah.. lepas tu..pegi Pak Ucu’s house (my dad’s younger brother) more cousins….. and lastly Tok Su’s house (random grand-uncle). Serious I tak berapa nak ingat ramai sangat nama2...and probably got a lot of the names mixed up too hahahaha...!! Tapi seronok la sebab dapat berkenalan dengan ramai sedara-mara and dapat makan dengan kuantiti yang maksimum hehehe :P

Di bawah adalah sebahagian daripada gamba-gamba pada hari raya pertama, semua nya candid..sebab bila di ajak berposing semuanya malu2 kucing (kononnyelahhh hahahaha)And then disebabkan akulah cameraman jadi tak banyaklah gambar aku hehehe! Jeles pulak tengok si dosh ngan choo berposing sakan di hari raya...! Hehehehe... :P

Raya Ke-2
We went to beraya at my dad’s friend’s house (lupa lagi nama pakcik tu) and then we went to Taiping, went to Aunty Wan’s house kat Aulong, she’s my mom’s best friend and got to meet Shafinaz (her daughter).She's my age and lama gila tak jumpa dia...masa we all duduk Taiping dulu selalu lah kemana2 dgn Shafinaz..ballet class lah.. pianolah... but now she's happily married and haritu sempatlah jumpa her hubby and baby Aniq! He’s soooo cute…!!Shafinaz siap cakap ‘ Nani dah ada satu, Intan bila lagi?” Aaaaaaaaaaaa skarang pon nak satu kalau boleh hehehehe! So anyway lepas puas beraya kat Taiping (adelah lagi 2,3 buah rumah lagi) we all balik Ipoh.

Raya Ke-3
Raya ketiga kami semua check out dari Heritage, pastu singgah jap kat rumah kak Bibah (coz si Nadia buat nasi lemak) and then singgah my dad’s ex-wife’s sister’s house (confuse jugaklah kan?) Lepas tuh zoooom… bertolak pulang ke KL


Begitulah synopsis Raya pertama sampai Raya ketiga aku… Raya keempat aku dah mula kerja dah.. jadi takde la kisah2 raya lagi.. beraya2 apa semua on the weekend aje..

First weekend (20/10 - 21/10) - beraya my aunty kat Subang and relatives in Melaka

Second weekend (27/10 - 28/10) beraya rumah my pet sis kat Kajang

This coming weekend (3/11 - 4/11) - beraya rumah Epy kat Sri Damansara(insyallah) and rumah Kakak (Saliza) kat Puchong (insyallah)

Di sebabkan raya kan sebulan jadi masih ada kesempatan untuk aku wish Selamat Hari Raya... mari kita beraya sakan..tapi jangan terlebih makan.. hua hua hua!! :P

Lame lah jugak kenal budak nih...tapi taklah selame choo kan. ihik ihik. sme pon bermula dari irc la.Mane lagik.Memandangkan harijadi nye jatuh pada bulan puasa, maka lebih afdal jika diraikan sewaktu berbuka puasa ye dak. Jadi semlm kami bersepakat dan bermuafakat utk berkumpul di Lemongrass, Ampang Point. Ini seme plan last minit ibu Epy. Dea tuh mmg ske last2 minit nih. Hehehe jgn marah yek Epy! :P

Nampaknye byk perobahan ketara pada dia nih. Perubahan positip okek. Not negatip. Lepas satu..satu..soklan kami tujukan pada sirkehh..hehe..Apekah yang telah mendorong kepada perubahannya?? ohh ghopenya dia da berjaya meneruskan kerjaya nya didalam bidang IT di salah satu IT company di ibu kota.... lebih tepat lagi.. semlm second day dia di situ.. alhamdulillah bulan berkat..rezeki pon berkat.. ihihihih..ttg perubahan2 dia yg laen.. kenalah tanye tuan empunya diri ... tapi sempat la gosip2 sket..org yg di sana jauh di mata tpi dkt di hati yek sirkehhhh :P

Sewaktu kami rancak berborak sambil ditemani suara orang melalak di kedai muzik berhampiran, sedar tak sedar dah masuk waktu berbuka puasa... tapi kelibat ibu epy dan ieta masih belum kelihatan ..sms..sms.. rupenya sangkot jem.. nak tak hendak tpaksalah kami dahulukan menjamah makanan... sorry epy yek.. tapi tak lame tu ..epy dan ieta pon sampai...ghope2nya satu lagi kejutan!

It's the weekendddddd!

I just love the weekend.. today is Saturday.. and I have no plans... YET. My bf suggested we go to williams for buka puasa.. ntahla tatau lagik. I wanted to go to Kedai Telekom to buy myself a modem... have a goal to fix my pc this weekend. MUST STICK TO GOAL!

Let's see what are my short terms goals this week:
1) Must fix pc- buy modem, or whateva it takes to get it running
2) Cantikkan my bathroom. - the mirror is cracked, and ade org cakap tak elok simpan cermin retak kan? I dont know, but it just looks hedious.
3) To eat at Williams
4) To eat at Bukit Bintang seafood place
5) To bring my special someone to a special place (but dat one tunggu end of this month la...tak cukop budget maa...) I will story on it later...

The other day, my mom suggested I write in my free time. She says I’m good at writing.. hmm really? I don’t think so, I mean my vocabulary is quite limited and I don’t really know a lot of big words, but I guess I do have a way of telling things huh.
I used to write on and on and on about what I was going through… I wonder where did all my diaries gone? I had three of them. I don’t remember.
To tell the truth there’s a lot of things I choose not to remember throughout my life. I tend to ignore or block them out of my memory. That’s why I’m so bad with names and faces. I really don’t remember a lot of my schoolmates or teachers.
Those were the toughest times of my life…. High school.. I was neither a braniac .. or popular. I had three friends who I still kinda remember.. Julia (best friend) Fauzah (the sweet girl) and Faidzah (the brain) I don’t normally hang out with them altogether..mostly one on one.. and I tend to spend a lot of time alone. It was easier that way. It was easier not to get too attached with anyone, I guess I was feeling kind of embarrased about who I was at the time, just felt out of place in such a posh school, and I just couldn’t wait to get it over with. My mom never knew about what I was going through, I just didn’t find the need to tell her…. I never told anyone. Except my diaries. (Damn! I still don’t know where there are) I guess it’s better that way, I don’t need to remember them anyway.
Oh well, those were the past, and there were many versions of me back then.. me the aloof student, me the estranged and rebellious daughter, and me the deep-thinking emotional writer. Do you think I’m weird? Tough times but I guess I managed to pull through , and not think of details too much. My memories of my younger days are riddled with holes… Holes I don’t care to fill. Is that worrying? Is my future dependant on my past? I think not. To me, it doesn’t matter who you are, or what you’ve done in the past… BUT what’s more important is what you do today that will determine your future.

RAMBOT

Dosh. Ni gamba Victoria Beckham (before dia dye rambut dia blonde) . Stylo kan. Tapi agak drastik lah. Bile tgk org rambut pendek teringin rambut pendek. pastuh bila tgk org rambut panjang ikal mayang teringin rambut panjang pulak. Pompuan. Ntah bile puasnye...!

Lagie pon dosh. Ko tak syg ke rambot panjang ala2 iklan sunsilk ko tuh. Miahaha! :P

Things I discovered today

Post ini adelah kesinambungan post intan yg seblom ni.. iaitu mengenai kwn2..

Bila bace balik komen choo.. mmg betol lah kate2 nya. Tak semua kwn2 kite 'klik' dgn kawan2 kite yg lain. Kdg2 susah btol nak jaga hati semua org kan. Tak menjangkau lah kalau intan kate choo tuh bijaksana. Ade org kate (org..hmm sape org tu) tak boleh kah kite berkwn je ngan semua org..slagi org tu tak buat salah kat kite..adilkah kalau kite menjauhi die? (Kalau mmg die ade wat salah kat kite tu lain cerite lah kan)



Contohnye lah kan.. kalau ade kwn kite yg buat salah dgn kwn kite yg lain.. adilkah kalau kite juga memusuhi org yg buat salah itu? Jgn jadi mcm budak2 lah..takde salahnye kite berkwn je ngan dia kan? (mudahnya bila ditaip di sini.. tapi utk betul2 melakukannya??) Yeah right. Difficult. Tersepit. Terjepit. Mengah.Lelah seme ade. Kalau ade Sesape yang mengetahui mengenai topik ni.. silalah share dgn kami..



Anyway, I decided to change template like dis one much better hehe.. (iklan plak skejap)

So berbalik dgn topik tersebut. Choo ade mention yang intan ni "very2 positive when confronting conflicts. i admire that!"

Ahaks! ye ke choo? *terharu skejap* aDe org laen pon pnah cakap cenggitu..positip ke intan nih choo....tuelah..I try to be... Sebab tak suke kot conflict2 nie. Rimas kan? Intan nie jenis stretpowed jer. Kdg2 terlampau stretpowed. (Tang ni pon susah gak! :P ) Mebe as I grow up I realise friends are very important to me. Mengenangkan I come from broken family...I ade emak dan adik laki soang je... jadi kwn2 je lah tmpt I mengadu, bertanya dan bermanja (cEwAh!) So bagiku kwn2 terlalu penting dlm kehidupanku (I'm sure a lot of people out there feel da same) and kalau boleh taknaklah buat sesape terasa hati.. lebih2 lagi raya nak dekat ni.. tak elok bermusuh-musuhan lelame.. tak elok tu.. (the positip in me speaking)

Ntah lah choo.. susah soal kwn2... sensitip. Hanya mereka yg terlibat akan tahu whut actually going on...org2 luaran garuk pale jek (ape ntah melalut nih) Satu lagi kesukaran yg intan hadapi skrg ni ialah apabila kwn2ku adalah kwn2 bfku....... Hmm.. pening tak. So kalau dia ade poblem ngan kwn2 dia (yg juga kwn2ku) sesape scara tak lsung.. i pon tersepit lagi (Aduh!) Ni tak reti nak handle lagi..ade sesape ade pengalaman mcm ni tak. Mintak pendapat sket.

Berbalik ke topik positip lagi...

Hari ni I sebnarnye nak wish Slamat Pertunangan kepada Nonie dan Malan ...(lame dah i kenal nonie nih.. tapi dah lame dah lost contact sejak dia bermastautin di UK ..) nampak sgt intan ni ketinggalan sebb baru tadi surf frenster n baru realize dia dah bertunang..u look great AND happy...intan doakan smoga dipercepatkan jodohnye.. Amin.. :)

And satu lagi.. nak cerita pasal kwn lama satu lagi Emma...penah berkecimpung berkerja di atas udara ....orgnye comel n kecik je.. tapi kalau bercakap kalah tren.. laju nak mampos. Anyway, baru2 nie terjumpa dia balik and dia ceritalah dia dah sethn lebih kat KL coz contract dah habis...!!! (tuelah sbb lost contact kan) pastu ader jumpa dia lagi dalam dua tiga kali lepas tu... pastu baru2 ni dia dah fly pulak ke Oman! Last minit dia dapat tau..Aiseh.. kurang lagi sorang member...Dia dpt offer keje ngan Oman air.. and contract 3 thn.. Apepun sronok dpt jumpa u balik Emma...sorri la sebab ceta pasal u plak kat blog i nih hehehe...dah terlajak bercerita pulak kih kihkih.. anyway jage diri bebaik di sana tau...

Lastly..sometimes hati kita tergerak utk melakukan sesuatu kebaikan.. walopun kdg2 perasaan tuh dtg skejap2 aje....tapi bila perasaan tu dtg...jgnlah ia di sia2kan.

will write more soon

Best steak I ever had...Yummy...!!

Yesterday I had the best steak in the world for buka puasa! But you can't get it at ANY restaurant. It's my mum's cooking :P

Cedap woo.. bila lah mak aku nak masak lagi cam gini.. ada steak, and potato salad, ada bbq and black pepper sauce, boiled brocollis, asparagus and mix vegetables... yummy...mental note 'will take over the recipe from her' :P

Is JCO really here??

Last weekend punya story lagi nih...but da very important, it is the most happiest moment in my life. JCO IS IN KL!! In the pavillion to be exact.

After much 'hype' and 'buzz' over the pavilion I decided to go ahead and check it out for myself..among the many questions in my head was "is it opened yet?" "how will it look like inside?" "will the jco be as good as the one in jakarta?"

Well I shall soon find out.

From my office to the pavillion was just about 5 minutes by car, and as I was approaching it (from Jalan Kia Peng, you know, where the Orange club was) I could see there's an entrance fom the back with an escalator leading up into it! Pretty convenient if I wanted to walk from my office (which is near UOA building) it should just be a 10 minutes walk to JCO Heaven! It can also act like a shortcut to Bukit Bintang. How cool was that.

Okay to people out there who are not familiar with the heavenliness of JCO, it is a donut outlet. Not just any donut! It's the softest, yummiest, creamiest donut of all time! Try it once and you are hooked! My fave is cheese donut. Yep you heard me right. Cheese on donuts? Who created this miracle? I just want to kiss their feet! Who would've thought! Two of my fave foods rolled into one. Now you understand my crazy fascination with them.

I went there with my other half, and had promised to meet my friends at Laksa Shack. Neither of us knew where that was, so while searching for Laksa Shack, we explored Pavillion. Many shops are already opened with a mixture of high-posh and street-cred stores all mixed up together. Very lavish and cool at the same time. I suddenly felt very comfortable surrounded by familiar labels, and gushed at new ones (One of my fave there was Marc Jacobs)

At last we arrived at Laksa Shack (Lower ground floor) and met Epy, Zax, and Ita there, and they have already bought JCO'S! Yay! (saves me from queing up!) I glanced at the JCO outlet and it was packed with people and people were queing up for miles and miles!) WOW! I was so proud of the impact JCO has on Malaysians.

So we had our buka puasa at laksa shack (I had the laksa johor) and had two JCO donuts for dessert (cheese and snowy!) and it was definitely the most satisfying dessert I had ever had during this years Ramadhan. Alhamdulilah...hehehe

Anyway after we had finished, we roamed around pavillion for a little bit and took silly pictures of ourselves (well Zax took silly pics of us anyway) and overall had a fun time...right now I'm counting the days until I get to go to JCO again to satisfy my donut addiction..ngeee!! :P





Me, my other half, epy and Ita (Zax merangkap cameraman)

Picture says it all

Me and Epy with our JCO

Me with my other addiction... shoes...
