Post Gedix

Bosan la bila takde orang spesel untuk dirindu....hehehe.....

Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa

Ada yang sebut Mereng Wangsa Maju, even ada yang tersasul sampai tersebut Metro Wangsa. X kesah la apa pun yang orang nak panggil, yang penting kita faham. Itulah penangan cerita Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa (anak saudara Merong Mahasuasa). Awal2 dulu pun memang berbelit jugaklah lidah nak menyebutnya. Perkara pertama yang buat orang nak tengok cerita ni? Sebab lagu OST dia best - Sedetik Lebih by Anuar Zain.

So, perkara yang ingin dikongsi pada hari ini ialah saya telah menonton cerita tersebut di panggung sebanyak dua kali FOC. I LOIKE SANGAT......Almaklum la...siapa x suka benda free kan? Even artis2 hollywood yang kaya-raya pun suka barang sponsor. ;-D

Malam semalam pergi tengok second round dengan Pingu, YBTM II KPKK (YBM x dapat join) dan trio KRU di GSC Signatures, The Garden. First time aritu tengok dengan mama on 12 March@ Pavilion.  ;-P

Memandangkan dah tengok dua kali, rasanya bole la kowt dijadikan topik entry kali ni memandangkan tiada idea lain buat masa sekarang ni. Kepada yang belum lagi tengok cerita tu, jangan risau. Saya tak bagi sinopsis. Yang tu boleh cari dekat internet. Saya cuma nak komen sikit je.

Secara keseluruhannya, for me cerita ni memang memuaskan. Tak tau la kalau my expectation yang rendah. As we all know, satisfaction relies on level of expectation. Tapi..... ada tapinya.....

Memandangkan saya seorang yang bersandar pada logik akal, ada dua kelemahan ketara dalam cerita ni yang buat saya rasa x puas hati.

Plot 1 - serangan pertama di tepi pantai.
Macamana pulak tiba-tiba semua tentera geruda yang beramai-ramai itteww boleh rebah selepas menumbangkan menara pemantau tempat Merong berdiri? Itu, hanya tuan direktor yang tau.

Plot 2 - cermin Archimedes
Part ni rasa macam kelakar sikit. Siapa yang dah tengok boleh faham la kowt. Senang cerita, cuba la buat lakonan semula. Sama tak kebakaran yang terhasil? ;-P

Yang ni dari cam Shariff
Tapi, semua tu tak berapa penting. Yang penting kita dapat belajar pasal hikayat tu kan? Bagus jugak la usaha Abg Yusry untuk menyampaikan cerita tu pada penonton. Penamat pun ok, tak tergantung. Semua puas hati. Kannnnnn????

Sebelum balik tu sempat la bergambar dengan Abg Edry. Abg Norman pergi hantar YBTM. Abg Yusry pulak, mula2 ada. Tak sempat nak ajak bergambar, tup2 terus hilang. Mana entah dia pergi. Menyorok agaknyer. (^__^)"

Masa tengah tunggu lif depan Red Box tu, tetiba pulak Marsha keluar dari Red Box. Berlatih vokal agaknya. Apa lagi, 1 shot gambar la. *ntah berapa kali tekan lif da....asek tak jadi masuk jek...hikhik...* 

P/s: Terima kasih diucapkan kepada saudara Munawer kerana sudi mengambilkan gambar saya menggunakan DSLR anda. Cepat2 upload yek.

Echolalia or Vocal Imitations - the habit

As time passes, I can't help but notice that I have this habit of repeating each and every word I hear, especially in the car whilst listening to the deejay or radio commercials. It is not a major issue though.

I do found this habit quite annoying sometimes as it distracts my focus. In some cases, I would even repeat the same sentence for several times (in odd numbers). Funny? Maybe.  =P

However, looking at the positive side, this habit do comes in handy when taking notes during lectures or meeting sessions. I seldom miss out on important points because I keep repeating them in my head while writing it down.

Sitting in the division meeting this morning, I can't help to think about this matter and the urge to search for the term of this habit. So, this is what I found.

Echolalia - automatic repetition of vocalizations made by another person. It is closely related to echopraxia, the automatic repetition of movements made by another person. The word "echolalia" is derived from the Greek ἠχώ meaning "echo" or "to repeat", and λαλιά (laliá) meaning "babbling, meaningless talk" [of onomatopoeic origin from the verb λαλέω (laléo) meaning "I talk"].

Speech repetition is the saying by one individual of the spoken vocalizations made by another individual. This requires the ability in the person making the copy to map the sensory input they hear from the other person's vocal pronunciation into a similar motor output with their own vocal tract.

Such speech input output imitation often occurs independently of speech comprehension such as in speech shadowing when a person automatically says words heard in earphones, and the pathological condition of echolalia in which people reflexively repeat overheard words. This links to speech repetition of words being separate in the brain to speech perception. Speech repetition occurs in the dorsal speech processing stream while speech perception occurs in the ventral speech processing stream. Repetitions are often incorporated unawares by this route into spontaneous novel sentences immediately or after delay following storage in phonological memory.

In humans, the ability to map heard input vocalizations into motor output is highly developed due to this copying ability playing a critical role in a child's rapid expansion of their spoken vocabulary. In older children and adults it still remains important as it enables the continued learning of novel words and names and additional languages. Such repetition is also necessary for the propagation of language from generation to generation. It has also been suggested that the phonetic units out of which speech is made have been selected upon by the process of vocabulary expansion and vocabulary transmissions due to children preferentially copying words in terms of more easily imitated elementary units.

Conclusion: It is not a bad habit after all.... =P

S.I.N.G.L.E

Being single has played the major part of my life so far, eventhough most of my closest friends are guys.

Sorry to say, but most of my gal pals in my previous days used to travel in groups which sometimes contribute to lagging people back - I hate wasting my time waiting. Plus, I prefer to be on my own most of the time, doing whatever I like on my own terms.

I can be very choosy in search of my 'Mr. Right'. Most of the guys I came to know does not fit at least one of the major criteria of my dream guy (as if I fit theirs....huhu....). They either smoke or plain rude. I am allergic to rude people. Plus, I do not belong to those group of hot chicks with pretty faces and slim figures. That is a major turn down for guys I guess. However, I can't help but notice that older guys do get attracted to me sometimes. Weird. Wuteva.

Lose weight??? Emm...quite hard. Why? The options that I have are physical exercises, slimming centers & slimming pills or formulas. I don't prefer going to slimming centers as I don't have weight issues that major. I hate taking formulas as I don't like their taste and I am too conscious about the side effects. So, that leaves me with no choice other than exercise.

My first step is to join fitness club, which I already did.  Had been joining Fitness First since the end of last year. However, I haven't been there quite as much. I had stop hitting the gym for at least 4 months. Wasting my money for fee just like that. Had been busy and lazy at the same time. I think what I need is a Personal Trainer (that involves money). Someone that can cause me to have to go since the appointment had been set. Someone that can show me the right way to achieve my targets. However, that one have to be put on hold for the time being since I have a minor financial problem right now. Need to settle all my debts first. Credit card debts...hehe....=P...Been making efforts to hit the gym on my own lately. I just love running on the treadmill while enjoying the show on Star World. Preparing myself for the Lead Camp. Probably in August. Wut??? During fasting month? Hopefully not.... ;-(

What else.....hmm.....that is all, I think.....need to find a new topic fast before I bore myself to death or starts rambling nonsense...=P

"Listen To Your Heart" by Roxette

I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea.
You've built a love but that love falls apart.
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea.
They're swept away and nothing is what it seems,
the feeling of belonging to your dreams.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

And there are voices
that want to be heard.
So much to mention
but you can't find the words.
The scent of magic,
the beauty that's been
when love was wilder than the wind.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

Back to December

I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life? Tell me, how's your family?
I haven't seen them in a while

You've been good, busier than ever
We small talk, working the weather
Your guard is up, and I know why

Because the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me roses, and I left them there to die

So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December all the time

These days, I haven't been sleeping
Staying up, playing back myself leaving
When your birthday passed, and I didn't call

Then I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side
And realized I loved you in the fall

And then the cold came, the dark days
When fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love, and all I gave you was goodbye

So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time

I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile
So good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night
The first time you ever saw me cry

Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right

I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't
So if the chain is on your door, I understand

This is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time, all the time

Beza Suka Dan Cinta ( Cinta tak boleh di paksa )

Post ini tiada kaitan dengan emosi saya di kala ini. Saje nak share...got this link from Kalyisah Chika.

1- Di hadapan orang yang kita cinta, hati kita akan berdegup kencang. Tapi di hadapan orang yang kita suka, hati kita akan gembira.

2- Di hadapan orang yang kita cinta, musim sentiasa berbunga-bunga. Di depan orang yang kita suka, musim itu cuma berangin sahaja.

3- Jikalau kita lihat di dalam mata orang yang kita cinta, kita akan kaku. Tapi jika kita melihat ke dalam mata orang yang kita suka, kita akan tersenyum.

4- Di depan orang yang kita cinta, kita menjadi malu. Di depan orang yg kita suka, kita akan tunjukkan imej yang sebenar.

5- Di depan orang yang kita cinta, lidah kelu untuk berkata-kata. Di depan orang yang kita suka, kita akan bebas berkata apa saja.
 
6- Kita tidak akan merenung mata orang yang kita cinta. Tapi kita akan selalu merenung mata orang yang kita suka.

7- Bila orang yang kita cinta menangis, kita akan turut jua menangis. Bila orang yang kita suka menangis, kita akan cuba untuk membuat dia gembira.

8- Perasaan cinta bermula dari mata. Perasaan suka bermula dari telinga. Jadi, jikalau kita berhenti menyukai seseorang yang kita suka umpama kita membuang telinga kita. Tapi jika cuba menutup mata cinta berbuah menjadi airmata. Setiap orang yang hidup akan mengalami ini dalam hidup mereka.


Cinta, Sayang, Minat Dan Suka

Cinta 
Kita memang mengharapkan dia menjadi milik kita. Segala apa yang kita buat, kalau boleh nak dia tahu... dan kita seboleh mungkin tak nak sakitkan hati dia. Kita akan sentiasa berfikir tentang dirinya. (dalam erti lain : Cinta di tujukan kepada seseorang yg kita selalu ingat dan mimpi. Tanpanya kita akan rasa sunyi dan kita cintakan sepenuh jiwa dengan hati yg ikhlas kepadanya walaupun dia buat tak tau je)

Sayang 
Kita memerlukan dia di masa kita mahukan seseorang untuk berkongsi rahsia dan kisah duka kita. Selalunya kita akan sayangkan seseorang yang menjadi TELINGA kepada masalah kita. (dalam erti lain : Sayang di tujukan kepada seseorang yang boleh membuangkan masa dia untuk mendengar dan memeningkan kepalanya dgn masalah kita dan kita juga boleh menyakitkan hati dia kerana kita bukannya cinta kepadanya)

Suka 
Kita sukakan dia kerana dia kelakar. Dia happy-go-lucky. Bila bersama dengan dia, kita rasa nak tergelak sampai nak pecah perut. Tapi, kita taklah rindu sangat kat dia bila tak berjumpa seminggu…(dalam erti lain : Suka di tujukan kepada seseorang yang boleh menjadi pelawak kepada kita. Kita akan suruh dia diam sekirangnya keng kita dah nak pecah…)

Minat 
Apa sesuatu pada dirinya yang menarik kita untuk mendekatinya.(dalam erti lain : Minat ditujukan kepada seseorang yang ada sifat, peribadi atau barang yang kita mahukan… )

Tetapi kita kena ingat bahawa tanpa minat, suka dan sayang kita tidak akan CINTA pada seseorang itu.


Now I know I got it wrong all this while.... =P

Sedetik Lebih........

Sedetik Lebih

Setiap nafas yang dihembus
Setiap degupan jantung
Aku selalu memikirkanmu

Dalam sedar dibuai angan
Dalam tidur dan khayalan
Aku selalu memikirkanmu

Ternyata ku perlukan cinta dari dirimu sayang
Barulah terasa ku bernyawa

Kasihku…ku amat mencintai kamu
Kerna kau beri erti hidup
Ku kan terus mencinta sedetik lebih selepas selamanya

Di kala penuh ketakutan dengan badai kehidupan
Ku bersyukur adanya kamu

Biarlah kehilangan semua yang dimiliki di dunia
Asal masih adanya kamu...

Facts about me (11 Mac 2011)

10 facts on me in relation to my 25 years of living. 
(thinking of doing 25 instead of 10 but, couldn't think of anything else)

1. My blood type is A+ and there may be some minor problem with my hemoglobin last time I checked during Industrial Training. Need to have a re-check.

2. I am an avid batik collector. Newest collection is from Karyaneka. 
Range of price that I am willing to pay per 4m material is up to RM300 ONLY...hehe...

3. Raisins : I only eat it on its own. I hate having it in any of my foods - be it a fruit cake, rice, etc....I also don't favor peanut butter that much.

4. My emotions are obvious. When I hate someone, it shows...same goes when I like someone. =)) 
Plus, I am the type of person who sometimes speaks my mind. But, always be careful not to hurt others' feelings as I don't wanna regret my action later on.

5. I am not rich. My parents? Maybe. I only make RM2000++ a month (still P1T1 occay, but soon going for P1T2). I spend my own money. Looking at my spending habits, people may see that I have extra money compared to my peers simply because I don't own a car yet and I am still living with my parents. I only pay for the fuel and sometimes use my money to buy groceries. 

6. I don't have a boyfriend for now. Hoping that my Mr. Right would appear soon. ;-P My Destiny. Time passes and I am not getting any younger...hikhik...

7. I don't socialize much simply because I am afraid to mingle with those cool people coz I think I am the awkward type of person who always keep to herself. Plus, I have not find the right group of friends to do so. At least not until recently...=)) - PTD BATCH 1/2010

8. First thing that attracts me to a guy is his eyes I think (something like Ryan Reynolds eyes). 
As time passed, I came to notice that all the men I ever admired during school time have the same characteristic of eyes.

9. I don't know how to cook....(+_+)....I can cook, but it is just not my passion.....yet.

10. My split personality can be seen whilst I am driving..... I drive fast.....

You are the best and the best is YOU,

You are strict but childish in a way or two,
Moody and funny and ting-tong too,
Happy go lucky as long as you are you,
May Allah bless you and your wishes come true.

LISTEN

by Datin Shawn Kardashawn


Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but can't complete
Listen to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning to find release

Oh, the time has come for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own all 'cause you won't
Listen

Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried to say what's on mind
You should have known

Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own

You should have listened, there is someone here inside
Someone I thought had died so long ago
Oh, I'm screaming out and my dreams'll be heard
They will not be pushed aside on words
Into your own all 'cause you won't
Listen

Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried to say what's on mind
You should have known

Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own

I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't, if you won't

Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but I will complete

Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you think you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own, my own

P/s: Masih teringat kehebatan Shawn menyampaikan lagu ni. Guys n gurls....jom hang out lagik...=P

My 1st Job Experience

Dum....da dum....dum dum dum da dum....*masa untuk entry panjang*

My deepest gratitude to Allah S.W.T for giving me this job opportunity to serve my country as Pegawai Tadbir and Diplomatik (PTD) by lantikan 1/2010. Actually, I had started working as PTD since 17 November 2008. My first ever job since graduating from UPM in Bac. Sc. (Biotechnology). But, that one was under lantikan JPA. Servis tak dikira. Timba pengalaman selama setahun setengah.

The truth is, I had never heard of PTD before, throughout my years as a student. Tup2, JPA panggil interview (was JPA scholars back in UPM). When they mentioned M41, I was thinking of Skim Pegawai Tadbir (N41) coz I never applied for M41 before. I thought M41 is only for those who wanted to be a diplomat, working overseas. I never wanted that at that time. But still, I went for the interview. My plan to further my studies in MBA had to be put on hold. Already completed my registration forms but haven't got the chance to hand it in when JPA called. I passed and got the job.

I was assigned to Ministry of Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage @ KPKKW. Being posted at Bahagian Pengurusan under Dato' K Bala Singam - a great boss he is. Supposed to be doing admin but I did procurement instead. Stand in for Rachel because she was off to DPA. Then, Cabinet reshuffled in April 2009 and KPKKW merged with MOI to form KPKK (Kem. Penerangan, Komunikasi dan Kebudayaan). After being under Bahagian Khidmat Pengurusan for more than a month, I got back into Bahagian Kewangan to do procurement.

Do I love my job? Of course. Who wouldn't?

Throughout my 2 years as government servants, lots of things I have learned. Especially from doing procurement. Doing procurement is like being in a hot seat.You have to be extra careful in everything you do. Our job scopes? We have to deal with the outsiders - contractors & businessmen. Some of them are OK, but some are just plain annoying. But, we still have to entertain them anyway.
1Malaysia - Rakyat Didahulukan, Pencapaian Diutamakan.

The most important thing to remember when handling procurement is to always be fair and just. Bribery is common. You must be firm and never acknowledge them. One statement that I hate to hear, esp from my family members - "Orang kerja Kerajaan ni biasa la kalau bab-bab terima rasuah ni". HELLLLLOOOOOO!!!!! I work with the Government now! Don't simply assault us like that. Mind you "It Takes Two to Tango" - kalau takde yang memberi, takdelah yang menerima. Bear that in mind.

The best thing I have learned so far is in leadership - this one I get from Dato' Bala. It is hard to practice though....still improving....=P
 ' Good Leader Takes The Blame & Gives Credits to Those Who Deserves It '

The next thing is RESPECT. People won't respect you if you don't respect them, at least as a human being. No matter what level they are. So, be wise in leading those under you.  There is no need in using harsh words. Diplomacy is the answer. But, you still have to be careful not to let them stab you from the back... =P

Oh, yeah! Another reminder - be extra careful when you are dealing with those from the top management. You absolutely don't wanna go and upset them as you will immediately get a love letter from them - a 24hrs transfer order. Hikhik.... =P .....You don't have to 'fan' them. Doing your job well is more than enough.

Teet....da tatau nak tulis apa...nanti update lagi...=P

nuyulcikin: Foolscape paper 2

Courtesy of -----> nuyulcikin: Foolscape paper 2:

"At some point you will realize
that you have done too much
for someone or something,
that the only next possible step to do is to stop.

Leave them alone. Walk away.
It's not like you're giving up,
and it's not like you shouldn't try.
It's just that you have to draw the line
of determination from desperation.

What is destined to be yours would eventually be yours,
and what is not, no matter how hard you try,
will never be."
