summary:

today is day fourteen

the first week, i gained 2lbs and that was really frustrating. i did all right. i took it twice a day; for am and pm, had a moderate lunch, drink a lot of water, jog and do movements. i almost lose hope and feel ashamed too. i don't tell people i took it because of shame security.

second week, i modified the spoonful amount. maybe i was taking it wrong on the first week. now i am back on track. lost the sudden gained of 2lbs and another 2lbs, and an inch!

thank god i found myself a good and concern dealer, which is also my friend , Krea :) 


and yesterday (25/4) is my mother's birthday, also my parents' 41st anniversary.
segala doa baik-baik untuk orang2 tuaku. amin.

i cant sleep n now it's morning already im sleepy but i cant sleep


one reason that kept me from going to sleep is too much to think. but it depends on what are the situation you've been facing at the moment. in my today's case is, my head literally got splashed with thoughts. and damn those fantasies i had about foods. 

i rephrase my 2013 resolutions
my ambitions are;

seriously be that damn 50 kilos baby. at least 58 is alright.
i wanna make THE best kuih gelang or donut or doughnut. but first, i must learn to make it. practice makes perfect.
i must visit that highest land of southeast asia, ya know what i mean. kinabalu!
n i must fight my so-called socially awkward personality
i must learn to be a real lady
save money for braces
to have a job
and to have a boyfriend, even it seems impossible

p/s: might have rephrase 3.0 as well

Que sera, sera

today is the last day of 2012. tomorrow we'll be in 2013. the next day after tomorrow, my final exam will be started. i have 3 papers more to sit in order to complete my degree level. usually, the first week of the examination is the languages exam. i took 2 languages subjects this semester, i.e, english in media and french language level 2. EIM is a generic course while french 2 is an elective course. the exam for those courses will be held on 2nd n 3rd jan respectively. and then i have 1 more paper to sit, which is biochemistry. it is a core subject. it is an obligatory course for year 1 students, i had taken it and got bad grade. therefore, i have to repeat the paper in order to get my bachelor. it is optional whether to repeat papers, but they will not give you your degree. eh, wait, i forgot what's that saying if dont do this, they will not include "in honour" to your bachelor. okeh moving on.

let's talk about 2012; how's your life so far? have anything accomplished or achieved? mine, none. but i can say 2012 is a good year for me. it was a plain year but it's alright. i will be 23 soon. other friends were far too advanced than me, already. some of them are married and have kids, some already have a permanent job, some of them found the love of their life, some finally found their interests, some still studying and soon will have a bright future ahead. i have found/got nothing of those. none.  even i have been living with this body and this soul but i am still unable to understand myself, still searching and still confused. sometimes, i hope some organisation or whatever they are, abduct me, bring me far away and punish me to master some particular skills or knowledge and released me to the real world and become a successful person. i know, it is bullshit and impossible. those skills i'd like to learn are like sewing and its derivatives, cook and bake and its derivatives, or mastering CSS, etcetera.

a night ago, i went out with a friend. he was my high school senior and he is also befriended to my brothers (my bros's friends are my friends). all we talk about , other than teasing each other, is about how those people around us were already settled down. and how pathetic our lives are. however, what we can conclude from our conversation is that "if something meant to be in our lives, it will be".

so let's talk about 2013. what are your resolutions? what are your aims, your wishes? i have the same aim over the years, to get me skinned! but that never happened. even i said im serious but the seriousness just be around for like 1 month or 2. this beloved, 20 years old fat of mine is so loyal to me. i think, a good way to achieved a desirable weight is by telling people your plan, ask for help and support. besides, if people knows your plan, it'll give you an incentive to get skinny.

so here is my list, what to be done, in 2013.

  1. be a 50+ kilos baby
  2. get good grades for this final semester
  3. have a job
  4. improve my social interaction with other people
  5. save money for the trips to johor-penang-kl
  6. learn to sew (considering giatmara)
  7. will not get married, save it for other year.

what will be, will be. Insyallah :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

zaman itu

semalam sy dan mel bercerita panjang mengingat balik cerita waktu budak2 dulu, yg mana pada masa itu adalah zaman friendster. sy yakin semua ada friendster. itulah laman sosial yg terpemes di kalangan remaja dulu2. selain daripada myspace lah. 


seingat sy, teman friendster sy adalah 100+ orang dan semua orang2 itu kawan2 dan kenalan2 sy. adalah mungkin 1 2 3 orang yg langsung sy tidak kenal.

kami cerita lagi, macamana lucunya kita (semua pengguna friendster) suka pasang layout cantik2 yang cute2 lepas itu copy/embed link lagu lepas tu paste ke laman friendster kita, lepas tu rasa "wah! sy lah punya friendster layout/ lagu paling cool". hahahahaha. punya main lawak bila ingat balik.

dulu2 kan, sy lah, tiada hp berkamera. susah betul maw upload gambar SS di dalam friendster. sy pendrive pun tiada waktu tu. ada pinjam abang punya tp waktu tu pendrive pun beratnya rasa maw di kasi pinjam macam beratnya maw kasi pinjam laptop baru beli, masih baby. sy mengaku sy banyak disket dulu. masuk cc save lirik lagu (dulu mana ada minilyric) dalam disket, masuk ke komputer rumah habis masuk virus, lalu komputer tu tidak boleh pasang lagi. berbaliknya kepada how desperate-nya maw upload gambar SS, kalau bukan pinjam kamera phone kawan lepas itu minta dia transfer masuk memory card or mmc (iyerr, waktu tu ada mmc n card reader lah, haha). taw kawan rasa annoy tp, biasa lah budak2 kan, mesti maw uptodate.haha.

paling ingat lagi, sy dan kawan baik sy, ella, bila dia dapat pinjam kamera digital milik bapa dia lepas tu dia datang rumah, kami dua pakai cantik2, mekap cantik2 n gayakan rambut cantik2 lepas tu photoshoot tiap angle. haha. gambar ss masuk friendster terus!

masuk matrik, masih zaman friendster lagi.

sampailah sy dah maw daftar masuk unimas ni. kan before kita maw daftar masuk kena declare itu ini, confirm itu ini through web, or e-daftar. sebab selalu kena online baru lah sy start buka akaun facebook. waktu tu, memang facebook dah menular. waktu tu juga, semua orang mesti kena add, ada orang kita tak kenal add as friend, takpa approve saja. hahaha.

tapi sekarang, sy tak pandai pun pakai facebook sdh. even hari2 buka. paling2 pun sy aktif cakap kosong di twitter. 

i am trying to tell funny stories about my teen life especially the time when friendster was overrated. but i cant speak in written medium. i just suck at writing. but if we share our story by words coming out of mouth, we could laugh our fucking ass off reminisce back those time :)

Mount Santubong

puteri santubong puteri sejinjang
penjaga gunung negeri sarawak
manis sik ada dapat dilawan
anak dak dewa turun kayangan

* sambil menyanyi lagu puteri santubong*

we hiked mount santubong one day before i left sarawak for sabah. memang dahsyat la naik gunung santubong itu bagi kami perempuan2 yang tidak fit. kenapa dahsyat sedangkan tinggi dia half of kinabalu pun. sebab trek santubong tidak sebersih kinabalu. i mean, kinabalu kan selalu ada perkerja naik turun, kalau ada apa2 kekurangan laju ja orang baiki. gunung santubong ini jarang orang naik, i guess.

start naik gunung jam 10 am lebih sikit. dari kaki bukit ada beberapa point. dari point A ke point F. start point F, start bukit2 sudah. ke puncak gunung santubong ada 15 point semuanya. start naik jam 10, baru sampai F10 saya sudah pancit. paling menghampakan, ingat kau naik ke F10 ada harapan maw sampai puncak tapi tidak. signboard cakap "2 hours 30 minutes more to the top". waktu sampai F8 tu jam sudah 1.30pm sedangkan orang jaga gunung tu suruh turun before jam 2pm. maka kami yang sudahlah penat, air glukose pun sudah habis, air minum pun sudah tinggal sikit, memang tak mampu lah naik.

tapi apa2pun naik gunung santubong best. on the way naik gunung, kami nampak sejenis primate tapi tidak di ketahui apa, samada proboscis monkey or macaque. tapi yang pasti bukan orangutan. memang takut sebab takut dorang serang kami. waktu turun tu, boleh2 kawan saya nampak ada anjing hitam. saya tidak rasa apa yang dia nampak itu, anjing hitam. mustahil ada anjing di gunung.

waktu trekking di serait trail di bako dulu, abang huzal staff zoology pernah cakap yang kalau naik santubong  lagi dahsyat dari trail serait tu. ada bukit yang maw naik tali 90 darjah.. ingat dia exaggerate saja. betul rupanya. tapi, kalau naik santubong ini aktiviti subjek park and wildlife management, saya akan komen dengan Dr A, "point trek gunung ni insignificant dan keselamatan tidak di upgrade"

balik sabah, flight awal pagi..sampai rumah, abang saya ejek "kenapa kau bejalan ketam?"
------ko tidak taw macamana sakit badan saya! tidur pun tidak mampu pusing kanan kiri.



viewpoint from f7-f8. nampak dah sungai sarawak

what a loss, we need 2 hours 30 mins to reach the top

90 deg rope trail

that park

i just came back from bako np and this is the second time i went there. last time i go there just to follow my friends doing some sampling, collecting frog and bufo specimens. and this time trip is for park and wildlife management course. i can say that i like this course because simply to say, i love forest since ever and everything in it. in this course actually we are learning about the protected area in malaysia, how to manage a protected area, what are the laws and how to enforce it and stuff. 

so, what are we doing during the trip? actually, the main reason for this trip is to gain knowledge and experience on of course, the park management. at the same time, we were provided some questionnaires for the tourists to fill in. the visitors mostly are the non-locals, specifically the orang putih. so, we have to be more confidence to face them and kindly ask some of their time to fill in the questionnaire. gosh, we were so annoying orange! 

the second day of the trip, we went trekking to serait trails, 1.25 km, and i am so excited and most energetic one in our group. i lead my group until we reached the boundary of the park. the forest that next to the park, not the park's, we can see the differences between the two forests. an example is trees were cut for logging as in the park, of course logging are forbidden kan. so, i am the most energetic one, right? hahaha. not anymore when we trekking home. pancit habis! 

i am interested to work in the forest. i swear i will make my body fit and suitable enough for forest if someone take me work with them. in fact, after grad, before i have a real job, i've planned to be a volunteer in any conservation project. tidak kisah, in-situ conservation or ex-situ conservation. but i am thinking of in-situ conservation. 

enough with the dreaming, today we did the good indeed as we cleaned up the beach and the jetty area. it is, got a lot of rubbish along the beach, even the e-waste. at first we thought the rubbish is from the people who live there in bako np include the visitors, but actually it came there by water flowing from the villages near the national park. you know, stereotype much.

i completely forgot my final year project already once i reached there until one kakak, grad from unimas now working with sarawak forest (i guess), ask us how's the project went. damn it! i got a lot of work to do now i remember it. :(

p/s: this time, during the boat cruise i saw a croc, (are they locomotion in the water is called swimming?) finally!

c'est tout !
