At first, I feel angry because what I built from my lego can not make a shape like car, building, dinosaur and so on. I always give up of what I built with my game. Then my brother comes teaches me how to make shape, and he always gives me some advice that as a student we can not easily give up of what we have done. We must strive and struggle if we want to be an excellent student. From that time, I intent to be a successful student like my brother and do not easily give up.

My favourite toy when I was a child..

2008-10-13T21:51:00.000-07:00

(Quest Intro-page 129)

Everyone has their own favourite toy when they were a child. So do I. I have a lot of Barbie doll. Yes, that's my favourite toy. Barbie doll, so beautiful and charming. I'm still remembering some of my Barbie doll's name. They were Marry, Katty, and Fun and so on. Marry was my favourite doll compare to the other doll. When I do any job such as bath, sleep, eat, watching television and so on, I would bring Marry together. For your information, there are a lot of Barbie's clothes at my house that time. All of that for Marry. I change its clothes everyday. Sometimes, when I got problem, I would told Marry about my problem. I don’t know how to tell human about my problem, so Marry was a good place for me. I'm still like that until now. My teddy bear, Ishark is a place for me to release tense. Now, there's no Marry anymore. I miss it very much. I miss my entire doll.

Rites of Passage

[quest intro-page 156]
keris bathing: A ritual steeped in tradition

For keris owners, the cleansing of the weapon, which symbolises pride and courage of the Malays, is an important ritual.Usually held during Awal Muharram, the first day of the Muslim calendar, the cleansing ceremony sees people from near and far bringing their keris to cleansing centres for the experts to work on them. It is also an opportunity for owners to view an assortment of keris brought in for cleansing.In Johor, the most established centre for the cleansing ceremony is Balai Seni Nusantara along Lido Beach in Johor Baru.This year, over 100 people brought along their prized collections for the ceremony.The ceremony usually starts with a silat performance, followed by the centre’s person-in-charge Syed Hussain Haroon blessing the experts with a keris.The ceremony covers three stages.First, dirt and oil is removed from the blade with a concoction of lime, mengkudu (a plant that has been extensively used in traditional medicine for centuries) and pineapple juice.This is followed by dipping the keris into a pail of water filled with chopped pandan leaves. It is then dried with a hairdryer. Oil and perfume are finally applied to the keris, marking the end of the ceremony.Keris collector, Zaid Zain, 42, said he goes to the centre regularly after taking up the hobby more than 10 years ago.He now has 30 keris in his collection, some bought in Indonesia.“In the past, the keris was used as a talisman against pests in farms. It was usually buried.“Today, it is displayed more as a collection. I like to collect keris, especially the old ones,” he said.One of Zaid’s favourite is a 500-year-old Indonesian keris bought five years ago for RM1,500.He said the original owner of the keris was an Indonesian woman known as Sombro, who used it for protection during birth.It is said that the value of a keris depends on its workmanship, the metal used, age, motif of the melted metal and the background of the maker.A famous heirloom for Javanese people, in ancient times the keris represented manhood — a man was not considered a real man until he had a keris. The weapon is highly valued, treated and respected.The keris is divided into two parts, the blade or wilah, and the scabbard or warangka, to protect the blade. In olden days, making the blade of a keris would take up to a year to complete. Only respectable Empu, or keris-makers, can make high-quality keris.To prepare a keris, the Empu has to perform spiritual deeds like fasting, remaining awake for several days and nights, and meditation, among others. This is because the weapon is believed to contain a spiritual mission, which is dependent on the user of the keris. For instance, the weapon could be filled with spiritual beings to protect or help the keris owner.

My favourite AD or TV commercial..

The Armaggedon Mystery

There are a couple of movies on my desk.. pirated copies of the latest movies. I purchase it a few days ago... but then, I have yet to see any one of it. I have the time, but I don't seem to have time to watch it. It really wonders me why I bought all this movies in the first place.
And he said.. "Kiss me and smile for me.. Tell me that your wait for me.. Hold me like your never gonna let me go"I did have time to watch Armageddon over TV3 tough. Although not sure what made me watch this movie for the 4th time during my lifetime, but I remained a satisfied man at the end of the movie. I really think this movie could go down to one of my favorite movies of all times although it remains a true mystery on why I would rather watch it over TV when I know I have its DVD stashed somewhere at home. Another interesting thing would be my preference to spend time with advertisements in between the movie, and not mentioning the absurd Malaysian censorship, but still remain loyal in front of the TV set watching the movie over TV3.Heroes... Armageddon is really the best doomsday movie ever!!

Life I guess is full of unknown mysteries, and my willingness to spend precious time wasted with TV adverts as I watch Armageddon over TV3 is one of them.

My idea of the perfect career is in psychology. I’m going to become a psychologist, for three reasons. First, I’m fascinated the studies of human's mind, their thoughts and feelings. Second, I love to do research. Research is about the way that people behave either they are in correct or wrong way. Third, I enjoy helping people especially human who need my help and consult. Help and consult in many ways. My research might make a big difference in the world and I can help many people. Now, I’m studying in business course. However, I may study psychology after graduate. For me, if there is a will, there is a way.

Where I am in life now?

Where am I? Where am I in life now?
Now, I’m taking business course at Islamic Science University of Malaysia, but for your information, before this, to become businesswoman was not my ambition.
When I was in kindergarten, I wanted to become a teacher because that time I felt that teaching is fun and enjoy. When I’m registered at primary school, my ambition was changed. I want to become a doctor. Although I knew that I’m not suitable with that job if I’m not threw away the fear of blood.
After 6 years felt to become a doctor, I changed again my ambition when I’m entering secondary school. At secondary school, I’m always following my dad to his office. My dad works as officer in agriculture at RISDA department. I saw my dad enjoy his works and I’m also enjoy looking that job. So, that time, I want to be like my dad is.
When I’m at form 4 and 5, I took account class. As usual, my ambition still changed. I want to become an accountant. J. Before I registered at Islamic Science University of Malaysia, I applied accounting course there. Sadly, I can’t continue my studied in accounting course because I got another course, syariah and law course.
I studied that course for a year. Do you want to know some secret??? That time I wanted to be a lawyer. Last but not least, now I’m taking business course at the same university. So, my passion more than to be a businesswoman. I want to open my own company. After I graduate this course, I will continue my studies at the same course in master level or I may studies psychology for a while. Because I’m also love to know the mind of human and their behave. Maybe one day, I will open company of psychology. Maybe…who knows???

My Experience with flow

2008-08-25T21:21:00.000-07:00

Most of us have experience with flow. Truly happy people experience it often. Flow does not last long. It visits us for a few minutes.
I was faced a flow when I’m joined a group of students to Lambaian Danau’s camp in Jasin, Melaka. We had a lot of activities there such as rafting, war game, explore race and much more.
In rafting, we need to make our own raft by group. It’s so difficult to make a raft. For your information, my group’s raft was sunk on the lake. I don’t know how to describe my feeling when that incident happened. Scared, nervous... But, we still lucky because there was someone who the owner of this camp came and save us. Thank GOD.
I think, there’s not enough one page if I want to write all my experiences there. But, I feel so excited and have a fun there. I hope, I can get a chance to go there on the other time.

Secret Happines

2008-08-25T21:06:00.000-07:00

Something I learned about the secrets of happiness in work

Most of the books on how to find happiness agree that true happiness does not usually come from passive entertainment such as watching television or sitting on a beach. In the place of happiness, we must be active, we must be doing something. To be happy in life, we need to enjoy our work. According to Maxim Gorky, “When work is pleasure, life is a joy! When work is a duty, life is slavery”. After I make some research from some people, they said that before choosing a job, we must know our own talent and abilities of what because we often enjoy their talents. Sometimes, a person who does not really enjoy their talents, they can choose by looking their passion. For example, their feelings of great love for some activities. Everyone can be happy, if they know their talents and happiness.

MY LOVELY SONG

VERSE 1
Well I wonder could it be
When I was dreaming 'bout you baby
You were dreaming of me
Call me crazy, call me blind
To still be suffering is stupid
after all of this time
PRE-CHORUS 1
Did I lose my love to someone better
And does she love you like I do
I do, you know I really really do
CHORUS
Well hey
So much I need to say
Been lonely since the day
The day you went away
So sad but true
For me there's only you
Been crying since the day
The day you went away
VERSE 2
I remember date and time
September twenty second
Sunday twenty five after nine
In the doorway with your case
No longer shouting at each other
There were tears on our faces
PRE-CHORUS 2
some we were letting go of something special
Something we'll never have again
I know, I guess I really really know
CHORUS
The day you went away
The day you went away
PRE-CHORUS 1
CHORUS BRIDGE
Why do we never know what we've got 'til it's gone
How could I carry on
The day you went away
Cause I've been missing you so much
I have to say
Been crying since the day
The day you went away
The day you went away
The day you went away
