Top 3 Myths

Since I'm a Fairy, I am full of myths * I'm not high on drugs or anything k

What i mean by myth is the normal, usual first impression (sometimes 3rd, 4th, 5th and they have that same impression for years) of me by my friends. Yes by my friends, those who are suppose to know me well..

1. High on top of the list is "Farina tu sombong". I get this every time, every where and I am so used to it. From high school friends to university friends to fellow lawyers, they all will come to this same conclusion. The real fact is that, I'm actually very shy. Its difficult for me to really talk to a person and look them in the eyes if I don't really know them.
2. Second is "Farina budak pandai". The fact is that I am not born clever. I have a very garang mother as my teacher. With scoldings from her everyday for the rest of the life, I bet anyone can be as clever as me *laugh
   
3. "Farina tu selalu serius je" I think I'm born with this serious look plastered on my face. Can't help it. The fact that I rarely smile made it worst I think. The truth is I'm only serious in court, while doing work which involves chasing datelines and when I'm listening to problems. What I'm trying to say is that, I am not serious all the time. Most of the time I'm hilarious and I love to laughs. I laughs at the silliest jokes and when I laugh, I L.O.L and sometimes I ROTFL... hahahhaah....

Tioman [repost]

Kalau nak tau, ni sebenarnya my 2nd attempt utk menulis entri dalam bahasa melayu. 1st attempt fail dengan hebatnya apabila formatting kucar kacir n takleh nak publish post. Jadi terpaksalah saya menulis semula entri ni.

Cuma nak update readers on my trip to Tioman. A few months ago, sy cuma boleh visualize je Tioman tu. Akhirnya, pada bulan Julai, sy berjaya juga sampai ke situ setelah menempuhi pelbagai jenis halangan ;p

Patutnya, kami pergi b'4. Disebabkan hal-hal yg ak dpt dielakkan di mana kwn sy "Engineer-terlampau" telah jatuh sakit, makanya hanya sy dan Daphne je yg meneruskan perjalanan ke Tioman.

Kami telah ambil pakej percutian dari myholiday2u.com. RM 275 per person. Harga tu termasuklah penginapan 3 hari 2 malam di Damai Resort Tioman, 1 welcome drink 1 lunch, 2 breakfast, 1 dinner dan 1 BBQ dinner dan yg plg best skali, 1 snorkeling trip menaiki speedbot.

Atas bantuan seorang kawan baru, kami berjaya sampai ke Tg. Gemok pada jam lebih kurang 10.30 pagi. Selepas menguruskan dokumentasi perjalanan, kami bersarapan dulu di gerai berhampiran.

Kami menaiki feri pada jam 11.30 pagi dan sampai di Kg. Genting Pulau Tioman pada jam lebih kurang 1.15petang. Sesampai je di Jeti Kg. Genting, kami telah disambut oleh host dan dibawa ke resort untuk menikmati welcome drink dan diberikan briefing ringkas oleh host Damai Resort yg chubby, bubbly and friendly, Abg Bakhtiar. Lepas briefing tu, kami masuk bilik yg terletak btol2 di depan common area/dining area kami. Bilik tu mmg selesa banget. Ada air-cond, 2 double bed, hot shower, fnctional toilet & tv yg channel dia sgt blur.

Lepas tukar pakaian to something yang lebih selesa, kami terus menjelajah pulau. Time tu panas sikit la tp sebab teruja sgt tgk air laut yg biru, kami pki sunscreen and terus keluar. Dekat ujung Kg. Genting, ada satu kawasan pantai yg sgt cantik airnya. Tak silap tempat tu dipanggil Blue Ocean. Mmg air dekat situ warna biru. Menarik sgt. Hari pertama tu mmg kami jalan-jalan je. Penat jalan, g mkn burger plak. Merata-rata ceruk Kg. org jual burger. Sy terpk, Patut tukar nama la Tioman ni jadi Burger Island :p

Pas penat jalan, mkn burger, main air, tangkap gambar, kami balik bila

dan tidur. Ptg tu ditakdirkan hujan pulak. Lg sedap la kami tidur.

Kami bangun untuk mkn mlm. Simple dishes tp sedap banget. Mkn malam tu ala-ala buffet dan kami diserve seekor ikan sikap (kot) masak sweetsour utk setiap couple. Mlm tu sy perasan ada around 6-8 couple. Semuanya berpasangan lelaki dan perempuan. Mungkin newly wed yg sedang honeymoon. Yg bawak anak kecik pun ada.

Mkn mlm tu mmg best cuma after mkn sy rasa cam badan panas sket. So, kakak sy si Daphne to insist kami pergi cari panadol. Kedai runcit pun kat depan chalet kami gak. So setelah membeli belah, kami jalan-jalan sikit hirup udara malam dan tgk aktiviti yg ada kat citu. Kat resort kami ada karoke machine yg free untuk digunakan oleh guests. So, aktiviti melalak yg sgt hebat berlaku mlm itu. Near d jetty, ada 1 bar. Mat salleh n Chinese ramai hangout kat situ minum2 beer. Sbb cuaca yg sejuk n suhu badan yg panas, kami balik ke bilik untuk berehat. Agak susah gak nak lelapkan mata malam tu sbb lalakkan yang berterusan sehingga pagi. Nevertheless, sy berjaya jugak tidur.

2nd day starts with a very nice breakfast. Hari ni adalah snorkeling day. Excited banget coz tak penah cuba snorkeling ni. Pas mkn breakfast yg sgt variety (ada nasi lemak, mee goreng, toasts with jem, peanut butter, mentega & cereal mcm cococrunch and honeystars pun ada k) kami diberikan taklimat dulu oleh abg Bakhtiar mengenai aktiviti, kemudian kami pun bergerak ke jeti di mana speedbot kami telahpun menunggu.

Ceriter snorkeling and mabuk sambil berenang will be updated soon ;p

My Ramadhan Story

I am so happy and grateful that I was given the chance by God Almighty to fast in this holy month of Ramadhan. Wishing all Muslims friends a very happy Ramadhan :)

This is my second year fasting at home with my parents most of the time. I love fasting at home coz its so comfortable. On 2008, I had to fast in KL. At that time I was chambering in a firm near Jalan Masjid India and was staying in an apartment in Sentul Timur. In my experience, Ramadhan 2008 was the worst Ramadhan in my life. It didn't feel like it was a fasting month at all.

We (KC & I) break fast in office most of the time by eating whatever we could grab downstairs. There were so many people in Jalan Masjid India and there were not so many choices. There was this one day, we break fast with instant noodle in the office because we were way to busy to go downstairs and buy proper food. I don't recommend anyone to eat out during break fast period in KL because every food outlets will be packed with people. So, most of the days we end up drinking coffee in the office then grab something to eat before we go home around 9pm everyday.

However, we were so grateful to be living in Sentul Timur at that time coz Sentul Timur has the longest Bazaar Ramadhan. We visited the Bazaar every chance we got and mostly its on the weekends coz we were not working. I had the pleasure of sharing the Ramadhan with a friend for United States, Adelaide and she had a blast trying all the different food and drinks available.

I am never fussy when it comes to food during Ramadhan. Dates is a must for me and I eat whatever available. Maybe because I've experienced Ramadhan in college, away from family and eating whatever was serve in the dining hall. I loss so much weight fasting in college, it was 2006 if I'm not mistaken. I had a great Ramadhan on 2007. I was renting a house in Shah Alam with a bunch of friends. Breaking fast with them is an awesome activity. There were so many bazaar Ramadhan in Shah Alam and there were so many place that we can hangout and break fast. The best is on an open field near the lake. Sweet memories...

Wishing everyone the very best of Ramadhan! God Bless.
