the taste? superb.. i never knew that it is very easy to cook laksa. well, there's a lot of preparations but the taste was worth the work.

raya 2009

To begin with, i'm not really a raya person. Since a few years back i feel that raya have no significance for me like we were just kids. but raya this time is quite something. First of all its our first raya without popo (grandma). she lived with my aunty, ee aling and her 3 children. every raya they will visit us and eat everything we serve especially ketupat, lemang, kari ayam, rendang but not really the confectionaries. if wa is celebrating with us in kuching, that would be better. her superb sticky rice ketupats and chicken curry is really tempting. we will eat only chicken curry for 4 days. Even though wa celebrated raya with us this year, popo is gone.. the first day of raya, ee aling came to visit us with her children and ee kuroi. certainly feels different. it feels like we're missing something. i know everyone is feeling so.. one moment there were chit chatting, and then silence. mum's definitely most affected by her death. she refused to follow us for raya visits. as the still follows partly chinese tradition to not celebrate festive seasons. So, we didn't do many visits.

My sis when back for raya this time. Its been about 2 years that she didn't came home to celebrate raya with the whole family. And wa also joined us. Wa have been like my mother since i was a baby.. so, she have a special place in me. With everyone here, this raya feels like a great one. wa cooked for us delicious foods.. curry and bubur pedas.. my favourite.

This raya also i went to my girl's house for visit. I'm not that matured person who usually do such matured stuff but this time i forced myself to do so for my own good and everyone that involved. I'd be lying if i say i'm not shaking and nervous, there were times i couldn't hide my nervousness but most of the time i was perfectly in control. but that doesn't mean i was doing well. i suck. i didn't mix so much with people around me especially those pakcik2 because the gap are to big. but there were some people who are in their 20's there and i talked a bit with them. In the end of the day, it was a good experience for me and also good for my future.


On the 7th day of raya, i went out for raya with friends to nourre's engagement. i assumed that as a combo of engagement, raya visit and reunion. not so many ex-schoolmate attend but it was enough for me. after the ceremony, we went to school.. revisiting the memories of those days when everyone are still growing up together as teenagers. many changes have taken place, one thing's for sure its a positive change. my school was named the best boarding school in malaysia last year. how cool is that? that's a huge achievement. we even met cikgu sharkawi on our way to exit the school. he looks different. looks tired and thin. especially the face.. but still with his boroi tummy. LOL!

new things in the city

oh kuching.. in 2 weeks time i'll be back in my hometown for raya break.. its always a nice feeling to be back. i can't wait to see new things there and snap some photos. kuching CBD by dzuren hamzah from flickr:


the newly completed BCCK, borneo convention centre from bcck.com.my

the new intracity bus (MBKS only) just operated 5 september 2009. bus for DBKU area are not announced yet its operation but hopefully the bus looks better than this. however the bus route plan for north kuching only covers one route that is from city centre to samariang. :(

as a loyal bus user since primary school (no choice, what to do?) until my matriculation years and sometimes now, i'm relief that the busses have been replaced and improved. this will help hundreds if not thousands of kuching residents and also outsiders to get around the city.


i'm not so excited about the design of the bus. thus, i designed my very own bus based on my imagination.. :)

buddies' convocation

People say there's always a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Well, in our case it took 5 years for us to find one and for me its 5 and a half years. Nevermind, yesterday was dedicated to all my coursemate friends especially my buddies who had their convocation day. Everyone have smiles on their faces with some having tears of joy. Honestly, everyone looks handsome and beautiful that day. For me, it gives me a boost to continue on with my final semester. Congratulations everyone!

my new room

we just moved here 1 week plus ago. u can imagine how excited everyone to decorate their room .. i guess that's just applicable to architecture students. ;P .well, after 5 years of brainwashing by the architecture school, now we see the world differently. we tend to look into details, everything is based on aesthetics. but aesthetics depends on the beholder. i chose minimalist for my room. the room is not 100% done yet. there's more to be done... the accessories, the wall deco, the curtains, storage boxes.. bla,bla,bla... we'll just wait and see.. hopefully it will turn out as i imagine it would be..

extend

aku rasa mcm satu dunia dah tahu aku extend studies. soklan bertanyakan mengapa extend mcm dah beribu kali aku jawab tapi aku cuba untuk tak snap. aku jawab dgn tenang dan berhati-hati untuk jelaskan keadaan sbenar walaupun setiap kali mendengar soklan tu secara langsung dan tak langsung seperti memperingatkan aku tentang kegagalan untuk grad sama2 dgn rerakan same batch. tapi takpe.. aku mmg stress tp aku handle dgn baik sekali. well, look at the positive side. aku nak bila aku grad bangga dgn hasil kerja aku. aku nak grad bukan sekadar lepas tapi grad dgn senyuman lebar dan bangga dgn pencapaian bukanlah grad sekadar lepas je.. hopefully dptlah tercapai cita2 aku hujung sem dpan. wish me luck!

ps: tahun 2009 a.k.a. tahun lembu tahun yg tidak brp lucky utk sesiapa lahir pd tahun lembu. harap tahun depan lebih bernasib baik.

However, she left the show after 2 years when she graduated from University of Korea in Electrical Engineering. She lived in South Korea for 5 and a half years to pursue her studies. The show is aired in local Astro Channel CH303 every thursday at 6.10 pm.

Borneo Convention Centre Kuching

Now, here's some photos taken from www.bcck.com.my on the latest update of BCCK project. The building is lookin' good (good enough for kuching) eventhough its not the most beautiful building in the world, its nice enough for a developing city like Kuching. the photos were taken this month and if u notice the marina is also almost complete! and land have been cleared in the last photo.. it might be kuching tower which will be office + hotel (Marriott) OR shopping mall (TESCO+JUSCO+IKEA) OR just shophouses ( if its shophouse it should be of good design and concept) as planned in the Kuching Isthmus Development Plan. But then again, not sure of the development on the cleared site.. it could be anything

FUTURAMAKU

Lately ramai yg terfikir pasal future.. ye la da nak grad.. ak pn same kot. ade yg cite2 menggunung like the sky is the limit.. ade pulak yg nak keje JKR je sbb nak senang keje.. huh! entahlah.. aku pk aku masih kurang jelas.. masih tertanya-tanya apa nak jadi ngan aku.. no choice tp jd architectla kan.. hmmpphh~..penat2 blaja xkan nak jd penyanyi? well.. time will tell tp tu lah.. choice is in your hand. buat mase ni ape penting bg aku ialah future life aku tak semestinya jd seorang arkitek yg famous atau berjaya gila babas tp hidup happily and comfortably.. too low target.. NO.. its called moderate. aku x kejar kemewahan.. aku x kejar kefemesan.. tp aku cuma kejar kebahagiaan.. tp kalau peluang jadi kaya dah terhampar depan mata aku pasti x tolak.. just go with the flow..
