Hall Of Fame - The Script feat. will.i.am (Lyrics)

Little thing

Homesick bergunung-ganang dah ni.
Sape homesick jugak angkat tangan.
Kita geng!

Nowadays small thing that someone close
to me do will bring the homesick mood in me.
For example, few days ago my little sister
(not so little anymore actually..haha)
changed her profile picture which has me in it.
Seems so insignificant for other people but for me
that small thing matter.
She miss me.
I miss you too.

In fact I miss everybody at home.
I miss  the smell of the fresh air in the morning,
and the small pasar malam that we have in our village.
Rindu juga nak mandi air yang super sejuk kat rumah.
Duduk kampung mana nak ada air panas.
We only have air sejuk yang super best mandi masa
tengah hari yang panas "ceng-ceng"
(just some kelantanese way of saying that its super hot day..haha)

Semua entry nak pasal homesick takpun stress for the exam.
Biarkan.

Tajuk dah macam lagu 1D kan.
Biarkan juga.

When they gather

One of my bau-bau bacang relative got married yesterday.
Since its school holidays now in Malaysia, all of my aunties
and uncles went there and apa lagi ber-gathering la nampaknya
semorang at our small house last night.
This is also the reason why I don't have the chance
to speak to my mom all day before my exam yesterday.
Haiya.

My father had 7 siblings and he is the second child.
Can you imagine the situation when all the 6
of them were gathering together?
(the youngest one need to work. haha)
Its super fun lah I tell you.
The same situation when it is raya time.
The hyperactive cousins, the talkative aunts
and the nenek that melayan je kerenah cucu.

My nenek brought about half a kilo of keropok
semalam and they finished it in a flash.
How I miss the moment where you can cook
and eat together, the jokes and the delicious foods.
Believe me my aunties were good cook.
*insert growling stomach sound here*

This is the challenge that you need to face once you
are studying super far from your homeland.
You only go back home once in a year.
But its okay lah.
I have about a month before
the holidays start okay.
Bertahan!

Exam fever

Exam fever is slowly approaching.
So I guess I should start making
some short notes on what to eat
when I'm going back in July.
Should I?
Because study seems to be the
only thing that I want to avoid right now.
Anything except study.

Bad isn't it.
I just hope that I can pass everything real fast
without any failure so I don't need to repeat
any paper.

Until I meet this :

Man is created of haste; now will I show to you My signs, therefore do not ask Me to hasten (them) on. (Az-Anbiya : 37)

He is truly the one that Knows everything.
He Knows His creation very well.
He Knows that people have the
I-want-everything-super-fast perangai.
We want things to go according to
what we plan and the pace that we desire.
Hah! Bang that.

Somehow we should realize that all of us
are slave to Him.
Its Him who Control what will happen in future.
Just like the malay saying,
"kita hanya merancang tapi Allah yang menentukan"

Kemain nak result cantik, tak payah repeat paper
tapi bila suruh solat for example kita suka-suka hati nak
lengah-lengahkan.
Then we ask Him to make everything easy for us.
We didn't even care to fulfill our duty to Him first.
*nangis*

Rant #14

Few days ago my sister massage me on facebook
telling me about my grandmother's plan this coming Ramadan.

My sister said that she gonna perform her umrah.
At first I was like, okay. Good then.
She had a chance to do the Hajj with my late grandfather
last time so this time she only gonna do the umrah.
I'm so happy to hear that.
(nak mintak doakan dapat jodoh cepat2 boleh dak? hahah)

Then what's the big deal?
It is a big deal because she gonna stay there for the whole
Ramadan and will only come back a week after Eid.
The thing is I'll only come back home the earliest maybe
during the first week of July.

We probably gonna meet each other only after Eid.
This is so sad. Who's gonna make ketupat as good as she
always do every raya this time.
Thinking about this ruined my mood a bit.
Eid won't be the same without the presence
of the eldest people in the family.
Its their presence that make the "mood" for raya.

Tapi takkan nak halang niat baik orang nak beribadah kan.
At least you still have your maternal grandmother Azira.
Rindu nak jumpa semua orang tahu.

Amsterdam Trip

I had a 4 days 3 nights trip to Holland
with some awesome girlfriends last week.

During our first day, we met two friendly Malaysian
aunties whom also traveling Amsterdam.
Guess what they gave us? Rendang!
Omaigosh jumpa rendang time tengah-tengah makan
kat bandar asing ni mana tak excited. Haha.
Feel like wanna cry because of the deliciousness
of the rendang that day.
Feel so Malaysia truly Europe. Haha.
Coincidently during that lunch hour,
there were so many Malaysian eating there as well.
Feel so homey even we were actually at a kebab shop.

At the evening after the kepoh us succeeded
searching for the bus that can take us to our hostel,
it turns out that the bus driver can speak Indonesian well. Hahah.
Another excitement. Can you imagine a mat salleh speak Malay
to you in their homeland? Happy of course!
His wife is an Indonesian so no wonder he can speak fluently.
He said 'semoga ketemu lagi' when we arrive at our destination.
So sweet la that uncle driver bus.

We went to The Dungeon (rumah hantu), Madame Tussaud,
Keukenhof (to watch tulip of course),  Iamsterdam "square"
near the Van Gogh Museum,
(i don't know exactly how they call that place)
Zannse Schans (a place with a lot of windmills) and
later pusing-pusing around our hostel in Volendam.
(I hope I'm not missing any of the places that we visited there)

There's a lot of museum there and we didn't enter any of them.
Why? I don't know.
Maybe because we don't really like the
"explain-the-abstract-drawing-yourself thingy kot".

Volendam is a fisherman village.
Gosh i really love this place,
You could see a lot of boats and yachts there.
It is super beautiful and tranquil place to live.
Jatuh cinta pandang pertama dengan Volendam.
Unfortunately this year Europe has a "cold" spring.
You can see flurries and snow in the morning.
However the freezing sea and seagulls was not
a bad scenery at all. (exclude the wind part)
But I think it would be better if they have a little sunshine.
Wish one day I could go there again.

One thing that I like about Holland is
the citizen can speak English well and very friendly.
We all tak habis-habis duk compare between Prague and Amsterdam.
Its like langit dengan bumi beza how people there react
with the tourists.

The best thing is we don't receive any
weird glance from people there.
Why weird glance?
Because we wear hijabs and hijab means you are a muslim.
You know how the westerns usually react when it comes to
Islam. Yada yada.
But we don't really feel alienated there.
Perhaps because Islam community is bigger there
in comparison with Prague muslim's community.
(maybe, i don't do any research actually)

But seriously, I like how the people there
look "brighter" and not like some people here
who look so "gloomy" most of the time.
Maybe they have different culture and way of life.
I don't know.

The only thing that pissed me off during our trip
is the public transport.
I understand that they have a lot of option for public transport
such as buses, taxis, even boats but I don't
get it why they have different schedule when its weekend.

We were so confused at first about why we need
to change from bus to a boat every time we need to go
to the city during weekend.
I mean there's a lot of buses that can bring you to the port
but I think they don't have a proper schedule about
which bus goes where at that time.
As a tourist you wouldn't want to take the wrong bus
because thats just gonna delay our journey.
I don't know about the other girls but this things
sometimes pissed me off.
Why can't you have the same schedule for public transport
no matter if it is weekdays or weekend? Pfttt.
*bebel*

The journey was actually really exciting.
This trip was one of the best trip I ever had.
(padahal tak banyak jalan sangat pon macam orang lain)

Thank you girls for the masam-masam manis
memories. I'll keep that in my heart forever.
Promise.

note : did I mention that we have two tests the week after the break? I'm so not in the mood to study. In fact, next week pon ada dua tests. Kbai.

Rant #13

Sometimes panjang angan-angan ni tak bagus juga.
Especially when it comes to future.
Banyak berangan pasal masa depan
tapi kurang berbuat in the present time.
No good Azira. No good.

Contoh, berangan nak kawen dengan
anak raja tapi tak pernah practice
macam mana nak hidup as a princess.
Ingat senang nak masuk royal family?
*insert bunyi gagak pulang petang here*

Nak berangan sepatutnya kena ada strategy.
Why?

Sebab kita tak nak angan-angan tu nanti jadi kosong.
Bila berangan sepatutnya kena set aim and steps
on how to achieve the aim.
Baru tak jadi macam angan-angan mat jenin.
Got it?

note 1 : Amsterdam was awesome. I wish I could go to Volendam again in future.
note 2 : Esok test Pathology nak jawab apa ni Azira? -.-
note 3 : Stuck - Stacie Orrico
