Of naughty kids and rewards

From now onwards, there will be lots of entries about my teaching experience. Itu je modal nak bercerita sekarang ni. Hahaha. Nak cerita pasai budak kecik tu, dah jarang jumpa. Balik sekolah, letih. Tidur sampai pukul 5 petang. Sempat jumpa Akim kejap je lah. Malam buat lesson plan, then tidur. Itu lah rutin terkini ku. I don't want to complaint because I'm the one who wants the job. So, whether you like it or not, you have to face it la.

So today, I have already set my mind not to get mad at them. I want to smile and keep calm. I managed to do it. But that only lasts for few minutes. Lepas tu aku naik hantu balik pasal dorang misbehave. Budak yang sama. Every day he likes to do something inappropriate just to get my attention. He loves to see me get mad at him. Lagi satu masalah dorang ni, dorang suka menjerit bila nak cakap dengan aku.Bingit gila. Sakit telinga.Dah tegur berkali kali jangan menjerit.Cakap elok elok. Teacher bukannya pekak lagi. But that seems not working. Budak yang sama jugak menjerit. Badan kecik tapi suara nyaring nak mampus. Meter meledak hari ni kurang sikit berbanding semalam.

I made two of my pupils cried today. Sorang kes terajang member sebelah. I have warned him many times not to do such thing tapi dia buat jugak.So, today aku tak naik tangan kat dia.Malas.Tapi aku guna approach    tinggi suara.Cikgu lain dah pesan, "Awak kalau masuk kelas ni, kena strict sikit.Cakap biar tegas. Bagi depa takut sikit dengan awak.Kalau tak, depa pijak pala." Aku cakap betul betul kat muka dia. Sambil tuding jari, I asked him to look at me while I'm talking to him. Bila dia tak pandang, I raise my voice a bit high. Just to let him know that I'm not joking around. I'm being serious. He looked at me with his sad face. Tau pun takut. I made him lafaz ikrar in front of me. Something like this la,

"Saya bersalah sebab terajang kawan saya. Saya janji tak buat lagi. Kalau saya buat lagi, saya akan dihukum oleh teacher" 

Right after the ikrar, he cried. I don't feel pity at all. He deserved it.Menangis sampai keluaq habis hinguih.Dahsyat.Budak budak ni kadang kadang guna air mata untuk tagih simpati. Like this boy la. I could see that he slowly tuning down to his normal state. Tapi lepas tu,dia mula balik nak kacau kawan dia.Geram gila.Menangis tadi tu sebab terkejut teacher tinggi suara je kot.

"Star meter" and "stamp" seemed to be working on them.At least they listen to me in order to get those rewards. Star meter is used to reward their behaviour in the class.If they behave well, they will get star.I put up a manila card on the board with their names written on it. So they can see how many stars they have obtained. Big star for those who behave well and little star for the misbehaved. Ada yang siap menangis lagi bila dapat star kecik. Tau pun sedih dapat star kecik. Tapi perangai, nauzubillah. Obviously, this star meter means a lot to them. Sebab terpampang kat belakang kelas and everyone gets to see it. So, depa ada rasa malu sikit kot bila dapat little star compared to their friends. Baru start buat hari ni. So we'll see their progress in a month.

"Very good" stamp is rewarded to those who writes nicely and gets all the answers correct. Ini aku dah buat since first day masuk kelas dorang. Memang berkesan. Dorang jadi bersemangat lain macam nak siapkan kerja semata mata demi mendapatkan cop "very good".Tulisan pun kemas je. If tak cakap nak bagi stamp, cakar ayam sangat tulisan. Nak cepat siap je kerjanya. If you get one wrong, no stamp for you. No mercy sungguh teacher ni. Hahahaha.

Semua orang boleh mengajar tapi tak semua orang boleh mendidik.

When things get harder...

I almost give up. Tired of having to yell and punish for their wrong behaviour. It seems like they do not have problems of being punished. They are used to it. So denda la macam mana pun, after a while they will do the same thing again. There are few of them yang sangat buas. Pantang kita lepa sikit, mesti dah ada kat belakang kelas, bergusti dengan kawan. How should I educate them not to do such thing? Malas dah nak denda denda ni. Letih. Lesson pun terganggu. Dah la slow learners. Kadang kadang rasa sejam tu habis tang marah budak ja. Haish. Menguji kesabaran betul. Kebetulan hari ni aku pergi jumpa PK and she used to teach the class before this. Minta tips sikit la daripada dia.Siap petua doa sebelum masuk kelas tu lagi. Mengadu stress and she laughed.

"Ni baru jadi cikgu ganti Zafirah. Belum cikgu tetap lagi. Apa pun, bagus la awak dah merasa pengalaman macam ni.Nanti bila dah dapat posting tetap, tak ada la awak culture shock sangat dapat budak macam ni"

True indeed.Lepas ni nak guna pendekatan one on one pulak la.Seriously.Dah rasa malas nak naik angin dalam kelas. Rosak mood, mengajar pun effect.Disebabkan sorang buat perangai, habis satu kelas effect. It's not fair for the rest. Masih banyak lagi yang aku kena belajar. Dorang tak salah, cuma teknik mengajar yang aku guna tu yang mungkin kurang bersesuaian dengan tahap dorang. I would love my kids to learn something from my class. I am being paid to educate them. Not to makan gaji buta saja. Complaint saja tak guna. There must be ways to solve this. Kena banyak trial and error.

Tadi ada la selit unsur didik hibur dalam lesson. Menyanyi lagu "7 days". Seems that they like it very much. Even yang malas nak buat kerja pun seemed to enjoy the singing session. Renyih renyih macam kerang busuk. If this the only way to get their full attention, kena la setiap hari incorporate singing in lesson.

Sapa kata kerja cikgu senang? Meh nak lesing sedas dua!

p/s : Waktu demo nyanyi, suara pecah sebab pitching lagu tinggi sangat. Ada yang kikiki kat belakang kelas.Kurang asam betul!

B..I..T..E..BITE!

Secara rasminya, hari ni aku dah start mengajar kelas 2D. Challenging. I never had experience teaching Year 2 before, so agak tough. Tambah lagi kelas ni slow learners. Today was my first contact with them. There are 24 of them. 6 were absent. I had hard time to remember their names since semua nampak sama je di mata aku. Sekali pandang la. Kecik, bulat, comel. Typical Year 2 pupils. One caught my eyes. Very small and his voice is similar to Upin Ipin's voice. With one look, I can easily remember his. The rest, I still try my best to remember their names.It's important to know their names as it will be easier for me to monitor their progress. 

So, today I read a story about a lion and a mouse. Seperti biasa, first masuk mengajar ni, jadi ambitious sikit.  Macam macam nak buat. I expected them to respect me and listen to me well. Tapi selalunya jangkaan itu akan meleset on the first day. Yes. Memang meleset. Budak budak tu buas gila! What do you expect? Year 2 pupils, kelas hujung pulak tu, tahap kenakalan tu agak tinggi. First day dah tarik sideburn budak. I had to. Because he kept disturbing the lesson by kicking his table.Very rude.Two more were sent outside the class because they joke around. And one was called to the front to be the teacher. Kita mengajar, dia pot pet pot pet kat belakang. Hah. Memang out of control sikit first day. Still learning their behaviour. Nak rotan, I had been warned by the PPD officer before I went to the school. "Tak boleh rotan, satgi jadi panjang cerita.La ni mak pak main saman saman teruih.Lagi satu awak tak jadi pegawai perkhidmatan yang tetap lagi.So, jangan rotan budak." Understood. 

Budak budak pun banyak pe'el nya.

"Teacher, teacher, dia curi marker biru saya" 

"Habis tu, awak nak saya buat apa? Pi minta balik dari dia"

"Teacher, nak terkencing....." 

(Bila sorang minta nak ke tandas, the others will do the same thing too. This is called penyakit kencing berjangkit)

" Tahan sat. Habis waktu teacher sat lagi, pi la kencing"

"Ok.Repeat after me. B..I..T..E.."

"Gigit!"
"No, you repeat the spelling after me. One more time. B..I..T..E.."

"Gigit!"

"Yes, I know BITE is GIGIT. But I want you to repeat the spelling after me. ikut teacher eja perkataan ini, B..I..T..E, BITE!"

"Ooo..B..I..T..E, BITE!"

T_____________T

There's still more that I need to learn. This KSSR thingy is still new to me. Sebelum ni belajar teori je. The real challenge is to apply the knowledge that you have learnt in your teaching lesson. Glad that the senior teacher especially the KP of English subject is really helpful.

Hadapi esok dengan senyuman =)

Rezeki Tuhan

Hallu semua. Sorry lah dah berapa hari tak update blog.Emosi berkecamuk sedikit dek interview SPP beberapa hari yang lepas. Kenapa emosi turun naik? Sebab rasa performance time interview teruk. Dalam sesi selama 35 minit tu, I got chance to answer only one question without being interrupted by the panel and other candidates. Oh. Mind you it's a group interview. Not one on one thingy.So faham faham la bila group interview ni semua nak tunjuk hebat. Nak stand out from the rest. It's like when you talk more, there's a high chance for you to get high marks. Nature aku memang tak reti nak mencelah bila orang bercakap. Even nak potong orang tengah bercakap pun aku rasa rude. Tapi ada sorang makhluk Allah ni memang superb bab bab cantas point orang ni. So, memang nampak dia je lah yang banyak bercakap. Memang emo kalau fikir balik pasal interview tu. I prefer one on one interview sebab tak payah berebut nak jawab soalan angkat tangan mencelah bagai. I don't like that. That's why I can't be in debate team whatsoever. Memang aku dah anti teruk dengan makhluk Allah yang sorang tu. Anyway, I hope I can pass the interview. Usaha dah. Sekarang tinggal berdoa dan tawakal je lah.

Disebalik kesusahan yang dialami, Allah berikan nikmat yang langsung tak terduga. I got a call from PPD and they offered me a position as a temporary English teacher in this one school. After some considerations, I accepted it. Thinking back about my bad experience in the interview makes me feel so blessed to get this offer. At least I don't have to keep waiting for the real posting which I never know when will it happen. There's so many rumours spreading right now. Dengan nak pilihan raya lagi. I'm not sure we get to be posted sooner. So, the best thing to do now is to grab whatever opportunities that comes to you. Alhamdulillah. I am so grateful for this opportunity. Aturan Tuhan sangat cantik. The school is not far from my house and I got supportive family members to help me go through this. Since I don't have my own car yet, I have to ask for my auntie's help to send and pick me up from the school.

I expected that I would have a lot of awkward moment on my first day since I was all by myself. No familiar faces and new surrounding to be cope with. It turned out the other way as the teachers were very welcoming and easy to approach .They even asked me to continue my service as a permanent teacher since they are actually lacking of English teacher. Actually I went there not to replace cikgu cuti bersalin or cuti tanpa gaji whatsoever. They are actually short of English teacher. Kebetulan the PK is an English teacher so, I got some insights of the students' achievement.

So, next week I'll be starting my new life. No more waking up late, excessive usage of electricity at home and excessive food intake. Hahahaha. Say hi to my baju kurung and kasut hitam, little kids and RPH =P

p/s: Some of my friends jadi cikgu ganti since January. Boleh berguru dengan depa la lepas ni.

What a surprise

Last week was our third year together. Disebabkan ada sedikit masalah, tak dapat nak celebrate on the date itself. Terpaksa tangguh ke hari lain. I was not expecting any gift from him as what I wanted to do was to spend the whole day with him. Do things that we used to do. Movie, karok, makan, window shopping. Itu je. 

So, yesterday we went out as usual. Pelik sikit la behaviour dia semalam. Tersengih sengih sensorang. Aku cakap kat dia yang aku ada few things nak setel untuk interview nanti. Nak cuci gambar, fotostat suma. So that kalau dia nak buat surprise ke apa ke, hope dapat adjust timing la. He nodded. "Hari ni you kena ikut plan I" Dalam hati dah tahu dah ni mesti nak buat surprise ni. Ok je la. Dia ajak pergi PC Depot kat Persiaran Sultan Abdul Hamid. We went there once to buy printer. Kali ni dia cakap nak jumpa member dia kejap. We ended up having lunch kat kedai mamak sebelah PC Depot tu. Dia makan slooooow gila. Aku pulak tengah lapar.Laju je makan. Rasa segan pulak pinggan aku kosong dulu dari dia T__________T So, dia cakap nak tunggu member dia sampai. 

Tiba tiba dia ajak blah dari situ. Aik. Mana pi member yang ditunggu tu? Aku tak syak apa pun time ni sebab dia cakap member dia tiba tiba tak jadi mai pulak. Berangin la jugak tapi sabar je lah tak nak spoil mood. Start kereta pergi few blocks dari kedai mamak tu kemudian dia cakap nak singgah stationery shop pulak. Aku pun orait je la. Alang alang aku pun nak fotostat benda. Aku dah syak something time tu sebab kantoi dia suruh aku turun dulu dari kereta. Hahaha. Dia tak bagi aku tengok kat tingkap. I did as he told. Tak mau spoil surprise katenyer.

Elok aku nak masuk kedai stationery, dia panggil pi opposite direction. We walked across few shops and suddenly he stopped right in front of this one shop. Kedai tu tutup dengan blind so I was not sure what kind of shop is it. Yang aku nampak hanyalah perkataan "Slimming" Oh nooooo..Takkan la mat arep nak suruh aku buat slimming session? Sentap hati mak noks. Muka dah habis gelabah dah. 

"You,ni benda apa ni?"

"Masuk la dulu."

"Ishk.Benda apa ni? You nak suruh I buat slimming session ke?"

He handed over the paper to the lady inside the shop. I've been once to hair removal session so I was quite familiar with place like this. Cuma tak pasti treatment apakah yang mat arep buat untuk aku kali ni. Hati duk kuat kata dia atur slimming session. Memang terkedu tak tau nak buat apa. Tak tahu nak rasa apa. I have no idea at all. 

Suddenly I remembered something I have told him few weeks ago. Asyik ulang cakap kat dia "Bestnya kalau dapat buat massage treatment. Ada orang urut badan.Mesti best kan" I kept repeating the same thing over and over. Aha! Dah dapat guess dah. Konfirm bukan slimming session!

"You beli massage treatment untuk I eh?" 

"Ya la.Tak larat dengaq you duk cakap teringin nak buat massage.Asyik ulang yang tu ja"

"Hehehe. Thank you!"

"You dapat expect dak surprise I ni?"

"Dak langsung! Pandai you buat surprise. Thank yoouuuuu" =)

Rupanya dia komplot dengan Wan. Aku pelik jugak macam mana dia boleh beli voucher spa treatment ni tanpa pertolongan sesiapa. Lelaki ni bukan tahu sangat benda spa ni. Bukan dapat massage je, dapat foot spa, full body scrub dan steam bath sekali. Sayangnya, aku baru je abc.So, tak dapat nak buat full body scrub dan steam bath.Kena tangguh hari lain. Just boleh buat massage je dulu.

Massage pun lama weh.Almost sejam.Kebetulan pulak memang aku sejak kebelakangan ni asyik sakit belakang. Tambah tambah bila bangun tidur. Selalu sengal sengal badan. So, bila dapat buat massage ni, rasa syok sangat. Macam pucuk dicita, ulam mendatang gitu. Dapat pulak tukang urut yang sangat friendly.Dia urut memang terbaik. Memang umph! Dia tekan situ, sini, sinun. "Badan you panjang sangat, I tak sampai oooo.Tangan I pendek."  Zzzz. Sebab tu kot dia terpaksa ragaih naik atas badan aku. Dia baru jumpa aku. Tak jumpa Elin lagi. Minah tu lagi panjang.Hahaha.

Dalam duk syok syok massage tu, teringat pulak kat cik abang kat luar tu. Kesian dia. Kena tunggu lama.Huhuhu.After habis massage, cari dia kat luar. Hilang. Call dia.Rupanya dia pergi pusing mana entah.Sempat tidur seround sementara tunggu aku habis berurut. Huhuhu. Kesiannya! =(

One thing that I love about him is, he is so good in making surprises. Kejutan yang tak terjangka.Ke aku yang senang sangat untuk dikejutkan dan di prank kan? Hahaha.Mana mana la. Anyway, thank you mat arep for this lovely treat. Nanti mai teman I buat body scrub dan steam bath pulak noh. =P

I love you lebih la!

Gambar langsung tak ada pasal kamera bateri habis. Sobs.Sedih.

p/s: Nanti aku cover story pasal massage treatment tu in detail ye. Kat mana, macam mana layanan dorang etc.

Finally!

Cuak terus! Mohon jasa baik semua readers untuk doakan kelancaran perjalanan interview aku nanti. Semoga aku boleh jawab semua soalan yang diberikan. Semoga panel tak banyak songeh.Amin!

p/s: Baru kelupuq nak study! T______T

Revisit NZ: Little India

Patutnya entry ni keluar sebelum graduation. Layankan ajelah ye.Habis daripada wedding photoshoot, perut lapar. Decide nak makan kat Little India.Aku memang gila beriani ayam kat Little India ni.Sebab beriani Little India ni la aku jadi suka makan beriani. Tapi bila makan beriani kat Malaysia, so far tak jumpa lagi yang setanding Little India.Huhuhu.

Kalau nak makan nasi banyak, dinner la time yang sesuai. Pasal portion untuk lunch sikit.Satu mangkuk kecil sahaja dia bagi. Tapi kalau dinner, hah..sepinggan dia bagi. Menimbun sekali dengan papadom. Memang tak senonoh. Dah makan sikit, baru nak snap gambar.Hahaha. Ada spicy level kat sini. Either kiwi hot, medium hot or spicy. Spicy dia sama level macam makan kat India nun haa.Berdesing telinga.Sapa yang tak tahan, end up garu kepala sambil makan.Hehehe.But I like.Aku makan tak habis pun.Boleh tapau. 

Kebetulan Syeera pernah kerja kat sini dulu.So, dia la yang tolong ambil order kitorang.Waiter kat situ dah pelik apasal minah ni tiba tiba ambil order. Syeera cerita la pengalaman dia time kerja kat situ.Ambil order ikut kedudukan kita. Kiranya dia lukis gambar meja lepas tu place order according to our seat. Dan aku baru tahu istilah tapau yang baru iaitu "Doggie Bag". Maksud asal dia ialah lebihan makanan yang dibawa balik untuk diberi kepada haiwan peliharaan kita dan to be exact, anjing. Kenapa anjing? Bukan kucing? Mungkin anjing lagi dekat dengan mat saleh. 

Dah kenyang makan, moh le kita pulang. Kebetulan hari tu boleh conteng jalan. Guna kapur. Apa lagi, kitorang pun abadikan la kenangan graduation disitu. Hehehehe.

Status halal Seoul Garden Queensbay Mall.

Malia teringin nak makan kat Seoul Garden. Pucuk dicita, ulam mendatang. Ada outlet baru buka kat Queensbay. Tak sampai sebulan lagi beroperasi. Sebelum ni, aku selalu pergi kat Gurney. Ini dah ada kat Queensbay, dekat sikit la. Dengar cerita dorang tengah buat promotion 15% off untuk adult costumer sampai 31 March ni just for this new outlet. So, tergerak hati nak buka website dorang dan tengok kat QB, tak halal certified lagi. So, saja nak double check dengan dorang sebab outlet baru kan. Kot dorang tengah tunggu approval dari JAKIM. I sent them an email seeking for clarification about halal cert ni. And this is their answer. 

Untuk yang tak nampak aku copy balik ayat dia.

"Currently this outlet had just opened less than a month. Usual the Halal application will take up more than 3 to 6 months to receive the approval. What we ENSURE all the customers all the marinate sauces was been catered from Singapore Company are Halal cetfi and all the supplier goods for the outlet are also Halal Cetfi."

Sedap sikit dengar penjelasan macam ni dari dorang =) At least kita tahu jugak bahan yang digunakan tu adalah halal walaupun sijil Halal tu tak keluar lagi. If korang still was was, better jangan makan ye.Ye lah. Takut nanti melarat jadi benda lain pulak. Lain orang, lain pe'el nya. 

Dah terbiasa request pasal halal tak halal ni since study kat NZ dulu. Bila musykil, kena tanya. Jangan asyik buat assumption sendiri.Takut salah assumption tu.

Sekadar berkongsi informasi. 

Mimpi dipatuk ular

Ya Allah. Semalam mimpi kena patuk ular hitam tompok merah. Huhuhu. Dia patuk kat kaki. Menangis macam nak gila bila bangun tidur.Takut. Bila check kat internet, ramai yang cakap, tu petanda nak kena sihir.Nauzubillah. Minta dijauhkan la dari segala hasad dengki umat manusia ni. Di kesempatan ni, aku nak minta maaf la kepada semua jika aku ada buat salah dengan korang. If ada tak puas hati ke apa, bagi tau la kat aku ye. Kita setel terus.Risau jugak takut ada yang berdendam dalam senyap. Manusia ni tak lari daripada melakukan kesilapan. Kadang kadang kita tak sedar pun kita ada buat salah.Kadang kadang terlepas cakap. Mana nak tau kan? So, sila betulkan saya kalau saya ada buat salah dengan anda anda dan anda. Huhuhu.

Petua ni aku dapat dari satu blog ni. Dia cakap if mimpi ngeri macam ni, bila terbangun dari tidur, isyaratkan ludah  (buat buat ludah, jangan ludah betul betul pulak) ke kiri 3 kali dan baca auzubillah. Kemudian tukar posisi tidur. Wallahualam. Kita ni cuma mampu berusaha dan Tuhan yang menetapkan segala-NYA.

p/s: La ni duk kalut buat senarai semak untuk interview SPP. Tak berapa hari lagi dah nak interview.Huhuhu.

Tertipu dengan bvlgarigirl

Oh my god. Baru je tahu kes blog Bvlgarigirl yang palsu itu.Terkedu mak noks. I've been reading her blog since zaman foundation and today I found out that Arianna Melissa does not exist at all! Semuanya hanya rekaan semata mata.Aku rasa orang yang ada blog sekitar tahun 2009 mesti tahu pasal blog bvlgarigirl ni. Hidup dia sangatlah fairy tales like. Bercinta dengan non muslim Kadazan man, adopt anak angkat, mak bapak kaya, ada lelaki lain masuk line, dan macam macam lagi la.Katanya blog ni dibuat oleh seorang perempuan yang ada blog lain. Orang cakap, blog dia tak famous pun. Tapi banyak persamaan yang orang jumpa dalam blog dia dan bvlgarigirl. Dari tudung meja makan sampai la ke gambar kaki clara dan anak dia orang compare.Memang sama.Huhuhu. No wonder la bila aku fb chat dia, dia tak reply. Bila kita cakap nak pergi Sabah dan minta dia jadi tour guide pun dia senyap ja. Langsung tak response.Rupanya penipu. Gilo.Bertahun lamanya dia menipu semua reader. Siap boleh buat online business.

Ada yang cakap, mungkin Arianna ni betul wujud dan dia yang curi gambar dari blog orang lain.Tapi kalau betul dia wujud, kenapa out of sudden blog dia di private kan? Dan blog perempuan tu pun di private kan at the same time? Huhuhu. Dan kalau betul Arianna wujud, please show yourself so that we do not keep on making assumptions.Prove to us that you really exist.

Patah seribu hatikuuuuuuuuuuuu, bila mengenangkan segala yang engkau bina bersama Kevin hanyalah palsu semata. Why Arianna? Why?

p/s: Ada jugak ye orang yang sanggup buat macam ni semata mata nak rating blog tinggi? Huhuhuhu.If ye pun, letak la exclamation "cerita ni hanyalah rekaan semata mata.tiada kena mengena dengan yang hidup atau mati"  Dah kantoi macam ni, apa pun tak boleh.Malu je dapat.

Graduation Day (Part 2)

The next day, we have a graduation parade. Haa..Ini yang special pasal Victoria ni. It has become a tradition where the graduands will be parading along the city street accompanied by the brass band. It's a celebration of joy for the graduands. Actually, aku plan nak pakai kebaya time parade ni tapi memikirkan kain kebaya tu sempit, nak parade macam susah. So, ulang pakai baju yang sama time dapat scroll. Kihkihkih

As we were busy taking photos,two ladies came and approached us. They asked for two volunteers to hold the Victoria banner. Laju je aku dan Elin angkat tangan. Hehehe. Sebab yang pegang banner akan duduk depan sekali. Right after the brass band. Ada chance la nak masuk dalam gambar banyak sikit. =P  Even the chancellors and lecturers were also lining up behind us. Nampak tak betapa pentingnya role kami? Hahahaha.Why they chose foreign students not the locals? Maybe because they wanted to show the diversity of students in Victoria. If I'm not mistaken, bilangan foreign students di Victoria agak banyak berbanding local people. Pernah jadi isu hangat kat paper bila dorang umumkan nak buka more offer to the foreigners instead of their own people.

When the brass band started marching, kitorang pun ikut la kat belakang. The person in charge told us not to follow too close, biar ada few gaps between them and us. There were times when I walked too fast and the lady in orange safety vest whispered to me, "Not too close darling.Slow down a bit" Hahahaha. I was nervous. Macam fashion show pun ada.There were so many people watching us, taking photos. I tried to smile as long as I can. Sampai kejang muka ni haa. The wind was so strong that sometimes the banner rolled up the pole. Time ni la rasa bersyukur sangat tak pakai kebaya. If tak, ada yang dapat tengok free show.Hihihi.

I had my limelight moment when my hood flew away from my head because of the strong wind. T______T It dropped right in front of the chancellor's feet. I was too shocked that I stopped walking and try to take it back. To my surprise, the chancellor bent down his body and took my stupid hood for me. Just when I got back my hood, Elin's hood pulak yang jatuh. The situation became chaotic out of sudden just because of our hoods. Huwa! What a shame! When the parade ended, the chancellor came and talked to us "This is the first time ever in Victorian history such thing happened. The wind must be too strong aye? " Rasa macam nak tutup muka dengan robe tu ja.Hahaha.Malu gila.Mujur la dia cool je tak marah ke apa. I did not know whether there's people yang rekod that moment. If ada, tolong la delete. If tak nak delete, simpan buat kenangan sendiri je lah nooo. Janganlah share kat mana mana. Buat malu kaum sejagat je. Jatuh saham I. Sobs.

Habis je parade, kitorang pun mula la berpeleseran kat Civic Square.Ambil gambar banyak banyak. Lighting  baik punya. 

 Pinjam mak Elin. Huhuhu. We are the "parent-less" graduands. Thank you to the girls sebab bagi bunga kat I. Huhu.Terharu.

 With some of my cohormates. It was a beautiful day. Shine bright like a diamond. 

Ikut tangga ketinggian.Yeay! Dah graduate! Sekarang menganggur T_______T

Graduation day (Part 1)

It's been almost 2 months since my graduation. Walaupun dah lama berlalu, memori indah tu masih segar di ingatan.Ecewah.I will never forget the moment. The moment when they called my name and I was on stage to receive my scroll. It's an honour to be in the ceremony. I feel blessed, lucky,excited and anxious to be given the opportunity to be back in Wellington. After all the hardship, terpaksa hutang dulu beli tiket, terlepas tiket murah where I ended up buying different ticket price than my friend, finally I manage to be in the ceremony.Yeah!

I thought it will be nice to share my experience here with all my lovely readers. Mind you, this is quite a long entry.

My graduation was on 12.12.12 in the evening. We were invited to join a tea party held by our faculty 4 hours before the ceremony. Basically, when you go to mat saleh tea party, don't even dream of having heavy meal as they will only serve you kuih or sandwich saja. Fortunately, we were very lucky to have a very understanding advisor who provides us with halal food. So, we did not have to be too choosy or hesitant as we can eat all the foods.Hahaha.So what they normally do during tea party is sembang sembang sambil telan air.That's what I observe la. They chat more than eat. Tapi kalau budak Melayu macam we'olls ni, we tend to eat more than chat. And we like to distance ourselves from them and make our own group chatting. Not chatting sangat pun, group eating I would say. Hahaha. Sangat tak berkembang. Sampai our advisor and lecturer yang kena datang and tanya khabar. See, baru setahun balik Malaysia, datang sini balik jadi tak reti nak adapt dengan mat saleh. Nak manis mulut, senyum all the time while u have to talk like normal English people, sometimes it is sooooo hard. You feel much more comfortable talking English to your Malaysian friends because they are like you. Broken English also accepted maaa..Try speaking broken English with the native speakers, confirm kening dorang bercantum jadi satu line! =D

Purple by accident.Look, I was trying to look intellectual in front of Anette. Trying my best to socialize in English. =P

Us with the lecturers. Above, Stuart Webb. He is so tall like a statue.Huhuhu.Below, with our beloved Anette.

Before the graduation ceremony started, we were given marshaling numbers where we have to queue according to it.Ikut sir name.So,merasa jugak la duduk in the middle of the row sebab nama bapak start huruf M. Hehehe. Kalau tak, asyik kena duduk paling belakang sekali pasal nama sendiri start dengan Z. Sobs..Tomey tak robe kitorang? Siap ada bulu mushy mushy lagi.Hehehe. Oh, By the way, the colour of the robe is different according to the courses that we take. So, budak TESOL dapat peacock green colour. Budak art dapat pink dan sebagainya. Ada macam macam colour. 

As we entered the hall, we could hear the Maoris chanting the Haka with so much energy you feel like they were possessed by some kind of evil. This is a welcoming performance.Tabik spring la kat dorang because they manage to pull it off. Bukan senang nak buat Haka ni. Tambah tambah untuk satu jangka masa yang panjang sebab dorang still chant sampai la semua graduan dah masuk dewan. And there were about hundreds of graduands entering in a very slow pace of walking.

What I found interesting about overseas graduation, particularly in New Zealand is that they do not place so much formality in the ceremony. One thing for sure, there is no code attire that you need to follow. It just said that "wear something that is comfortable". Simple as ABC. For the local, kebanyakkan pakai dress, short skirt pun ada for the girls. For boys, rileks je pakai jeans. But there's also people yang smart. Wearing suit like a corporate people. Itu one thing. Dan satu lagi benda yang unik, (I am not sure whether this tradition is also incorporated in Malaysian university, as I never been to any of it yet) is you cannot wear the hood in the hall till the Chancellor announce that you are finally a graduand. Then, baru boleh pakai hood tu. Time dia announce tu, there's one kind of feeling yang susah nak explain.Nak berlinang air mata pun ada. Macam tak percaya dah graduate. How I wish Mama and Abah were there with me =( If you can see in above's picture. I have to greet the first person and then continue walking towards the end of the stage where the second person will be giving out my scroll. Tak tahu la apa relevannya dorang buat macam tu. Huhuhu.

Our course is the second last to receive the scroll. Awal awal tu semangat la tepuk tangan kat orang yang naik atas pentas tu. Then makin lama, makin bosan dan makin mengantuk. Tepuk pun makin perlahan. Hahaha.Siap boleh terlelap kejap sementara nak tunggu giliran naik atas pentas. Another unique thing that happen during the ceremony is that the guests are allowed to cheer for their friends or relatives yang tengah ambil scroll tu. Kebanyakkan yang buat ni geng Maori la.Dorang sangat berbangga dengan keturunan dorang dan bila ada Maori yang terima scroll, dorang macam berdoa dalam bahasa Maori. And to our surprise, when the first person from our course naik pentas, the guests shouted "Malaysia Boleh!" for 3 times and the crowds were definitely awed and they gave us a round of applause soon after the shout ended. Oh myyy...That was spectacular. Bangga sangat sangat.Huhuhuhu.The guests were our friends jugak yang sanggup datang tengok kitorang graduates.Terima kasih korang. Kalau kat Malaysia buat macam ni kan best.Toksah la nak formal formal sangat.Bosan.Huhuhuhu.Diselitkan juga performances in between the scroll giving ceremony.Untuk hilangkan mengantuk.Hehehe.Tapi disebabkan dorang bawa ahli soprano mana entah menyanyi atas pentas, it makes me more sleepy. T____T Memang tak pandai nak value the beauty of soprano.Huhuhu.

The graduation ended at night. Lepas tu ada party lagi tapi kitorang tak join sebab tak konfirm makanan yang dihidang tu halal ke tak. Mind you this is a big party involving many English people.We are just the minority there.Lain la kalau dalam faculty kitorang which is education, dimana kami majoriti.We took so many picture in every corner.Hahaha.

With darlings and friends who came to see us graduate.Thank you so much!

Dah penat bergambar, perut pulak berbunyi. Masa tu dah almost 10.30 pm dan Cinta pun dah tutup.Tapi kami merayu kat tokey kedai untuk terima last customer malam tu. Begging punya begging, he finally allowed us to have late dinner there.Berkat buat muka sedih. Kaw time sama sama Malaysian.Hahaha.

It was definitely a day to remember. Part 2 coming soon =)

Mayday mayday

Does anyone know where to find kepingan besi ala ala macam playwood tu? Nak letak fridge magnet. Huhuhu. I don't want to put it on tok's refrigerator because I've been planning to have my own fridge one day where I can put all my FMs. Kang kalau letak kat fridge tok and one day aku tarik balik semua tu, kang kata aku ni buruk siku pulak. Bukan apa, ada sesetengah fridge magnet yang aku beli jenis rubber. I keep it in my store box. Agaknya sebab Kedah ni panas sangat, hari tu aku tengok ada yang dah merengkot dah. Especially yang jenis rubber la. So, nak tak nak, aku terpaksa jugak letak yang rubber punya kat fridge tok. Mintak mintak dia tak perasan aku letak. Kang nanti nak ambil semula senang.Hehehe.

Aku mencari besi tu dah lama. Masuk kedai jual alatan rumah, tak jumpa.Nak explain kat tokey kedai pun payah sebab depa tak faham."Besi ala ala playwood nak lekat fridge magnet ada?" Dia pi tunjuk hook  baju. Zzzzz. Letih nak terang. Huhuhu. Sapa sapa tau dak kat mana nak cari? Kedai hardware? Pi kedai lungguk besi ka? Been dying to have that metal piece for ages.Mintak mat arep carikan pun dia senyap ja. Entah dia ingat ke tak.Hurm.

If korang tau kat mana nak cari, drop your comment here okay? =)

Mini zoo in here

Ada ular menjalar kat luar rumah tadi.Tapi disebabkan sorang pun tak berani nak katok ular tu, we let it go macam tu saja.Huhuhu. We're kind of expecting it to happen pasal last few weeks, Pak su discover ada kulit ular tertanggal kat pokok nyioq depan rumah. Before that, dia bersalin kat atas bumbung garaj kereta. So memang dah aware ada ular tapi tak expect pulak dia still ada lagi kat kawasan rumah tok. We thought it just salin kulit here then off it went to other places. How I wish there was a man in this house.Semua gegirl je.Tak berani nak katok, takut ular tu melawan balik. Tok kata tu ular air.Tapi aku suspicious sikit pasal bila tengok jarak dekat, ada pattern kaler coklat dan hitam atas kepala dia.Oh myyyyyyyyyy, I am shivering right now.Meremang bulu roma bila fikir balik pasal ular tu.

Lepas tok acah acah, dia menjalar masuk longkang pulak. Kemudian pintu rumah jiran sebelah terbuka.Ada kucing dalam tu. Aku perhati je ular tu nak pergi mana. Penat aku menjerit kat orang sebelah.Dorang tak dengar sikit pun. Nak contact dorang, tak ada nombor.Panggil langsung tak menyut. Pekak ke apa dorang ni. Aku tak boleh nak pergi dekat pintu yang terbuka tu pasal ular tu betul betul kat situ. Luckily, it did not enter the house.

We suddenly locked all doors and windows, afraid it might come again. Tak tahu la macam mana nak handle kalau ular tu masuk rumah.Semua pakat tak berani nak katok. Our neighbourhood ni lelaki tak ramai.If ada pun, jauh dari rumah. Tok's house is like a mini zoo. Katak puru, ular,tikus, musang semua ada.Haish.

Katak tu, boleh lagi la nak cedok buang guna penyodok.Tapi kadang kadang susah jugak sebab dia melompat. How I wish Zul was here. Time dia cuti hari tu, the frog appeared under the sink. I asked him whether he's brave enough to catch it and throw it away. To my surprise, laju je dia capai plastik dan buang katak tu kat dalam semak. I was surprised sebab dulu dia penakut sikit. I think he has grown up and masculine enough to deal with sort of things.

Kes dulu ada tikus mondok dalam bilik. Dia menjerit macam apa lagi. He tried to be hero by putting on Bang Cik's school shoes and used long stick to hit that rat. Bila ada sudden movement made by it, dia menjerit ,kuat gila.Geli mungkin. Tapi kalau ingat balik, memang gelak sorang sorang. Itu satu hal. Time ular masuk rumah tok dulu pun dia jadi pak lawak jugak. Naik atas sinki terus. Hahahaha!

p/s: Baru lepas google image ular air. Hurm.Betul kot tu ular air.Argh...Meremang bulu roma sekali lagi!

A must place to go

Nangis tengok deal flight murah pergi Paris. 2.9k consider murah la kan untuk MAS. Ishk. Paris dah masuk list a must place to go. Nak tak nak, kena jugak pergi sana. That's my dream.Even kadang kadang kalau tengok scene drama yang shoot kat sana pun, boleh bayang diri sendiri depan Eiffel Tower.Huwargh! Bestnya.If only I were a millionaire...Kalau boleh, aku nak travel satu dunia. That sounds imposibble kan.At least, dapat jejak kaki kat Europe, Turki, Korea dan India pun dah cukup. Ewah.Dah cukup kata hang? Nak pi satu tempat pun jenuh ketaq ketaq kumpul duit.Hahaha.Tak pa.When there's a will, there's a way.Mana nak tau future children I dapat belajar kat one of the places, merasa jugak la jejak kaki kat sana.Hehehe.

Mekah tu of course aku nak pergi.Kalau tak sempat haji, umrah pun jadi lah.Huhuhu.Ramai lagi golongan veteran yang masih menunggu panggilan haji. Kita yang muda ni, apatah lagi. Lambat lagi la jawabnya.Heard some of my friends yang pergi mendaftar haji. The year sounds far ahead to reach.Macam ridiculous pun ada.But that's the fact.Tak tahu la time tu hidup lagi ke tidak.Wallahualam.

Ok lah.Nak pi berangan ambil gambar depan Eiffel Tower.Kikiki.

Don't complaint, just do it!

Currently helping out mat arep with his assignment.Of course, I'm only capable of helping him with English subject.He's working on his assignment about illegal racing issue.It's been awhile since I last writing down my assignment. Been cracking my head to start writing academically this time. Particularly, with that issue. Before this asyik tulis pasal ELT stuffs because that is my field and I rarely write about current issues. Jadi blur nak buat ayat. Been digging out the suitable phrases and words to make his essay looks better.

It came to a point where I almost blew up at him just because he kept YM-ing me expressing his anger and disappointment towards his lecturer who rejected his previous essay while I was trying to construct my first sentence.Yes, I got easily distracted by the "beeping" colour of  IM that indicates there's a new message coming in.He needs to send it by tomorrow and he got stuck by other reports too. So, no point of nagging about what the lec had done to him. I'm not going to do it all for him. Tak kira la boyfriend sendiri pun, when it comes to assignment, buat sendiri. I'm here just to assist him finding the info and correcting his grammar mistakes.If tak, sampai bila pun tak maju. Ye dak? So, i insisted him to finish it by today so that esok tak perlu la nak bangun awal, sambung buat lagi. Dengan log report lagi. I keep him company for tonight.Sebab tu boleh update entry time macam ni.Sambil update his progress.Hohoho.

Looks like he has to stay up all night long. That's the price of being a student. Kadang kadang terlalu free sampai tak tahu nak buat apa.Sometimes, busy teruk sampai tidur pun tak cukup.

His friends ramai yang dah give up nak redo essay.He felt the same way too.But then when he thought of that subject which is English, it suddenly reminded him of me.He did not want to let me down.So, dia gagahkan diri jugak la redo all his essay just to jaga hati I. Sebab dia tahu English is my core subject.Kalau dia tak buat, memang tunggu masa la nak kena.Hahaha.

Yes, I'm being garang with him all the time. =P

Revisit NZ: Things that I did in Wellington

This is a compilation of things that I did in Wellington apart from graduation. Yang graduation tu, aku buat entry lain pasal banyaaaaaak sangat gambar nak share.Hihihi. Here we go.

1) Hanging out at the harbour. Always will be my favourite place to lepak lepak. Kena pulak tampar dengan angin Welly yang sangat kuat sebab tepi laut. Memang masyuk. Sometimes, you can see people jumping into the sea especially during summer.Makin ramai yang ushar, makin galak dorang ulang terjun. With various styles of jumping. Some people even use this place to sleep and one of them is me.Hahaha.Punya la lama menunggu Adawiah and Arif pergi Te Papa Museum sampai boleh terlelap.It feels so good. Perfect combination of the sea breeze and the sunny weather. One thing yang seronok buat kerja gila kat sini sebab orang lain tak peduli or pandang serong pun kat kita.Cer buat macam tu kat Malaysia.Mesti ada yang cakap "Balik tidoq kat umah la weh!"

 See see.Seeing girls in bikini in a public place like this is a normal thing for me.Dah tak larat nak tengok dah.Cemuih orang utagha kata.

2) Datang negeri orang putih tak try its coffee or latte memang silap besar la kan. As for me, I prefer mocha with vanilla on top.This one we bought it at Esquires in Reading Courtenay.Ternyata mocha NZ tak pernah mengecewakan aku.Sedap sangat.Since sana sejuk, memang kena sangat la minum air macam ni.Kena sedas, tak tidur malam.High in caffeine.Teringat zaman stay up buat assignment. Inilah benda yang aku ambil untuk celik 2 3 pagi. Setengah orang dah imun dah dengan coffee.Telan la banyak mana pun, tak ada effect.Tidur malam jugak.

 3) Watching the Hobbit. Kelas kau tengok Hobbit kat NZ. It was a purple day for us by accident. Ingat nak ambil yang premiere screening punya tapi dah full. So, kitorang terpaksa tengok few days after premiere. Itu pun elok elok je ada seat kosong untuk kitorang. Tengok yang 3D. Such a great movie.Loving every part of the stories especially the place.Baru tahu sebenarnya banyak lagi tempat cantik kat NZ yang aku tak explore. Must revisit there someday and go to the Hobbiton to really endure the feeling of being a hobbit.Insya-Allah if ada rezeki.

Nice kan? We watched the movie at The Embassy Theatre.Feeling tengok movie kat theatre is a bit different from cinema pasal the hall is super big and the screen is massive. Seating pun lain as it is in curve shape.

4) Meneman pengantin baru photoshoot kat harbour.Yes, tak sia sia depa angkut baju pengantin all the way from Gurun to Wellington semata mata untuk dapatkan shot yang stunning dan walah! Jadi perhatian mat saleh kejap pasai out of nowhere muncul pendekar dan puteri. Hehehe.Untunglah dapat honeymoon kat oversea =P The shot with the pigeons turns out to be so beautiful and it has become Adawiah's current cover photo on FB. Big thanks to Nana as the official photog and Juwe as the pigeon chaser.Hohoho.

As an ending...Hahaha. Toodles!

Abang Ayih.

One fine day, he called and Akim was beside me, trying to disturb me talking to him with his super loud voice by repeatedly grabbing the phone from me.Distracted by his crankiness, I let Akim talked to him.I told Akim to address him as Abang Ariff.

"Hellooo..ni sapa ni?.. Abang Ayih ka?.. Haa..Along ada selah (sebelah)...*suddenly slapping my arm, poking my waist* Hah..adik dah puk Along dah..adik dah buat along dah..hurm..!*he pouted his mouth while closing his eyes (his favourite reaction when he turned into sick little devil)* "

When he finished talking to his abang ayih, I asked him why did he slap and poke me just now.He told me that Abang Ayih asked him to do so. T___________T Fair enough.

How could you not fall in love with this kid.

After the incident, when Akim hears my phone beeping for messages which he thought someone calling me, he will suddenly grab the phone and pretends that he is talking to his abang ayih. Only Abang Ayih. Until today, he still goes into his "little play time" with his imaginery abang ayih.

"Helloooo abang ayih...Ha..ni adik ni..abang ayih buat apa..?Along ada..Sat nak ngil (panggil) long..Along! Along! Abang ayih pon"

I was once fooled by him. Cis!

By the way, I still love him, my tomey tomey Akim. Oh. not to forget, Abang Ayih as well

(He once asked me why I didn't write much about him in my blog lately.Dulu banyak katanya.Mind you he's my frequent silent reader.Yolah. Lepas ni update banyak banyak pasal you noh. Gila glamour jugak Abang Ayih ni. Hahahaha.)

The date is out.

As I scroll down the timeline, I discovered that several people have been updating similar things which is the announcement made by Dr Wee Ka Siong. As he said, the SPP interview will be held on 19th February onwards. Okay. Sekarang baru rasa nervous.This one should be taken seriously sebab yang bagitau ni menteri. So, ada kebenarannya di situ. Anyway, aku memang tak start study apa pun lagi.Even nama menteri pun aku macam confuse lagi. I actually do not really know what to study for SPP. Aku lebih prefer kalau dia bagi situasi atau satu permasalahan dalam kelas dimana kita kena bagi solution. For me, its more applicable for us as teachers. What's more, itu adalah realiti yang akan kita tempuh once dah bekerja nanti. Ihate to remember all the facts. Bab PPPM tu memang kena baca la kot sebab tu dasar yang terbaru dan tengah rancak dijalankan sekarang ni. Cuma, kalau dia tanya history nama menteri zaman tok naduk dulu, memang idok ler teman tau macam mane nak menjawabnye. Hopefully, panel tak bagi soalan yang pelik pelik la. Huhuhu.

I should start exploring the MoE's page. Wish me luck!

p/s: Kesian pulak baca comment colleague yang berbangsa Cina.Time orang duk raya sakan, dia terpaksa hadap notes for SPP. Tak pa la. Sacrifice for your future.

Little gardener

Presenting Akim as a cute little gardener in the house. Dah jadi kebiasaan waktu petang aku akan siram pokok. So, dia pun akan join sekaki.Kadang kadang pukul 5 petang dah datang rumah "Along, jom ih kok" dalam bahasa normalnya, "Along, jom jiruh pokok". Haa. Dia ni seronok nak main air je sebenarnya. Tapi budak ni bagus.Kalau kita minta tolong ambilkan timba air, dia pergi ambil. Senang nak buli ini budak.Hohoho.So, semalam dia datang bawa topi berkebun bapak dia sekali ke rumah.He looks so cute in that big hat.He loves camera very much.Bila suruh senyum, automatik tayang gigi halus dia. Tak cukup satu shot, dia suruh ambil lagi dan lagi.Amboi!

His favourite plant is pokok pelam and nanas. Everyday kalau nak start siram pokok, mesti dia akan tanya "Nak ih kok lam ka long?" Macam tak ada pokok lain je nak jiruih."Dak aih.Kita jiruih pokok kat belakang dulu.Nanti kita jiruih pokok pelam pulak.Okay?"

"Adik dah ih kok lam ngan kok naih dah long" 

"Habis tu, pokok lain tak jiruih ka?"

"Tamauuuuu..Along ih la.Adik gan (segan)"

T______T Fine akim fine! Buat kerja sekerat jalan. 

Revisit NZ: Waitangi Park

Time aku kat Welly, tak banyak benda sangat yang aku buat melainkan melepaskan nafsu makan makanan yang tak dapat kat Malaysia.Memang kerja makan je lah. And also shopping.Hohoho. Since time pergi tu tengah nak Christmas, so dorang ada letak satu pokok krismas besar kat Waitangi Park. Its not exactly pokok hidup tapi pokok made of many lights sponsored by Telecom.They even provide free wifi there. Sayangnya aku tak sempat pergi tengok time lampu pokok tu dibuka.Tak sanggup nak redah malam yang sejuk.Walaupun summer, Welly ni terkenal dengan anginnya yang sangat kuat.So tak kira la tengah musim apa pun, the wind is still there.

Belakang tu haa so called christmas tree lip lap lip lap.Ini time petang,so lampu tak buka lagi.Nampak rangka pun jadi la noh.Ada gak kenangan.Acaner shades aku? Ada macam Pitbull tak? Kekekeke.

So suatu petang yang indah, we decided to hang around the park.Kebetulan time tu ada mini concert christmas carol.And kebetulan jugak its weekend dan taman tu dipenuhi dengan manusia.Mat salleh ni kalau summer je, pantang ada peluang mesti nak berjemur.So,banyak la manusia yang berjemur petang tu.

 Credits to Juwe.Bersama rusa rusaku.Hehe.Mat saleh belakang interframe from nowhere. 

With Wellingtonians.Nad and Nurul. Dorang budak TESOL Mara.Still doing the course there till June 2013.Aku stay kat rumah dorang ni la sepanjang kat Welly.

Catch up session dengan teman seperjuangan dalam WMSO.

Dah agak bosan duduk kat situ, kitorang blah pergi tempat lain pulak.Tak larat nak tunggu sampai malam.Off we went to Cinta to fulfill our needs. Makan time! Hohohoho.

Revisit NZ: Seamarket Wellington

One of the things that you should do when you come to Wellington is to try its fish and chips. This one particularly, from Seamarket has a variety of seafood to choose from. As for myself, I opt for battered fish and chips.Fish fillet dia sangat fresh dan sedap. Mengidam lama dah nak makan fish and chips.So, when I was in Wellington, hentam makan puas puas la.Hohoho. Bear in mind, they charge you for the sauce. Yang ada pun tomato sauce.Payah nak cari chilli sauce in here.Tapi kalau salt and pepper, they give you for free.Take as many as you want.Disebabkan I ni tekak melayu, tak boleh makan benda yang mild mild ni. Aku hentam letak salt and pepper ber sachet sachet. Baru kick. Jangan tiru habit aku ni. Kuat makan masin dan pedas. Huhuhu. Not good.

As for Arif, its his first time.So, dia try ambil battered scallops.Katanya sedap. Aku mana pernah makan scallop ni.Duk tau pasal scallop ni through rancangan masakan orang putih je.Goreng macam tu ja. So Arif kasi aku rasa scallop ni. The flavour is undefined.Tak tahu nak cakap macam mana.Huhuhu.

Here we go. Battered fish and chips. Yang membuatkan kita kenyang is the chips.Besar besar chips dorang.Telan 2 3 dah rasa macam penuh satu mulut.Kalau ada sos cili, konfirm lagi kick!

We ate outside by the roadside.Tak kisah sangat makan tepi jalan pun sebab tak kotor.Plus, sejuk. Sambil sambil cuci mata.Hehehe.
