everything i own

It was friday, and I don't have class on friday. Since I'm not used to..urm not going to class (haha) rasa bosan. I knew my sister has wanted to watch Bandslam for as long as I can remember.

So there we were lining up for the ticket, it was so frustrated (at first) that they won't let you in (for a movie) if less than 4 tickets purchased. But we refused to give up. So we waited until it was already about the time for the movie to start and..ok fine, beli jak la 4 tiket! Sangat2 mahu ok..

Luckily, and eventually they let us in..cheh saja menguji kesabaran. So end up, only the TWO of us in the room bole? wooo.. Here's the song from the movie, very nice!..they rock this song like Rhythms del mundo's kind of song.

And.. I include here the original version by Ken Boothe 'Anything I Own' (1974) Sweetttttt ^_^ Why the oldies will always too good? yes he sang it as anything, not everything

Is there someone you know

You're loving them so

But taking them all for granted?

You may lose them one day

Someone takes them away

And they don't hear

The words you long to say

Da Vinci the Genius exhibition

We went to Pusat Sains Negara, Bukit Kiara (the third time for me!) for the Da Vinci the Genius exhibition - a showcase of Leonardo's genius as a painter, sculptor,architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, geologist, writer..u name it!

His notebooks included many drawings showing the mechanical principles underpinning human movement.

Leonardo was the first to look at the science of flight. This is the flywheel.


The clock mechanism, has been made especially for this exhibition by a 90 years old artisan in Vinci, Tuscany, the home of Leornardo da Vinci

Stanza degli Specchi, the mirrors room. Leonardo noted that, if a person stood inside, he "will be able to see every part of himself endless time"

the ideal place for dressing room =)

... Mona Lisa

You can simply Google for what lies beneath Mona Lisa. Tapi sekali pun kita ke the Louvre, tak mungkin kita dapat melihat di sebalik potret ni..so, this is very exclusive, I must say.

1 - You can see that the board has split, and the two butterfly clip were used to repair it.
2- the wording 'Au garde des Tableux a Versailles .." (" to the painting guardian at Versailles") an indication from when the painting was moved from the castle of Fontainebleau to castle of Versailles.
3- the wording Jaconde which is the French name for Mona Lisa
4- the stamp of the Musee Royal with number 316 - the position of Mona Lisa in the royal museum collection.

Don't you think I just share you some interesting reasons of visiting the Louvre? (talk to myself)

And of course the other collection of his paintings. I strongly believe Leonardo was such a romantic man because almost of his masterpieces, he gave see-through veil for a lady.

We spent 1 1/2 hours in there. Da Vinci the Genius exhibition is held until 17th January at Pusat Sains Negara, Bukit Kiara. Open daily including sunday and public holiday. Ticket is RM25/adult

isu penggunaan kalimah Allah

The graffiti taken on my way from Paris to Lucerne.

HALLA GIVE ME DOLLAS

Previously, I'm not that interest to write about the current issue; use the word 'Allah' (swt)for non muslim IN Malaysia. Because the topic has already lead to several attacks and public sensitivity.

Anyway, for an introduction, Arabic-speakers of all Abrahamic faiths, including Christians and Jews, use the word "Allah" to mean "God". Yes we had already knowledge it. In Malaysia (and Indonesia), the translating word refer to God as Allah in Bahasa first made by Francis Xavier in 16th century. Nothing new, isn't? But why the issue suddenly boom? Because it was published publicly.

I know that I'm not good in commenting but at least I speak my heart. Let's make it easier, just by looking on our own culture perspective. Do you think the use of word 'Allah' by non muslim is in our local culture? I don't think so. Maybe but not publicly. We are not used to it, I mean it never exist in our culture. Some place yes, but not at the major. So just don't do it. Nobody said it is easy to change what we are used to. Culture adaptation wont be that easy.

Ok aku bagi perumpamaan culture adaptation paling senang la. Kau cuba tindik hidung kau, dan balik jumpa orang tua kat kampung. Kompem kena tengking. Tapi cuba pegi India, takda sepa pun hairan. Because it is in their culture. Tindik2 bukan adat kita kan.

I hope you'll understand what I'm trying to say. Tidak payah la gaduh2 ..let's have mutual understanding. And most important, live harmony.

random: Tiba2 teringat Dr.Viviane, sebab pernah curi2 baca dia punya kitab. hehe pernah dia kejutkan sembahyang subuh. I miss you, old friend!

I need ideas, right now!

during my intercultural communication class. lecturer panggil nama maksudnya tak leh ponteng atau lambat masuk kelas ok!Ni lecturer baru untuk sem ini, jadi biasa la seisi kenal2 ni =(

Professor: Where are you from? What did you do?
Me: Multimedia University. IT Mgmt (I know I'm an alien here)
Professor: Are you local?
Me : hm..
Professor : Beautiful name.

haha. Ok bukan nak fokus cerita beautiful name. But the different background of my previous study caused me 2 pre requisite papers, sending me to undergrads classes. I'm so isolated in their class =( Look at the bright side, at least more attention to the lecture. Nanti budak2 ni tanya aku tak leh jawab, ha malu.

Anyway, for my intercultural communication class, we are assigned to do a real paper..real like to present it to the public. Yes, I'm talking about conference. There will be an international conference at South China Uni, Guangzhou China somewhere in June. Sape2 punya paper yang lepas pegi mestila yang terbaik kan? Sapa taknak jadi yang terbaik? tapi taknak la pegi China! And how am I supposed to walk to China with my big belly? deep down, teringin la juga nak angkat CV.

hmm..cerita banyak, idea untuk paper tu takde lagi tak guna juga. OK la.

why I love Cameron Highlands part 2

nikmati teh segar dari depan ladang

Previously, I heard that tea may slow the calcium absorption. Still, I'm a tea fan. But I just found this article; Drinking tea may slow bone loss..haa, that makes me a tea lover even more!

I haven't post this one, have I? aksi bollywood haha

why I love Cameron Highlands

I know it's been a while that I didn't upload good photos. We just got back from Cameron Highlands, a short trip and urm.. you know it was such a crazy idea for not having a confirm hotel room before reaching the place. Ntah, maybe sebab cuti sekolah so banyak hotel tak terima tempahan, but a 'first come-first serve' basis. Pelik dan menyusahkan ok. Almost 1am baru dapat masuk heritage hotel.

It was my third visit, btw..and I guess that I'm not that keen to rewrite ..tapi taknak la macam tak ikhlas nak berblog kan..so,

The most recommended, a must visit tourist spot in Cameron Highlands ; The Time Tunnel Museum, an exhibition of very old or odd items and artifacts on display, and photographs to bring back the memories of 40’s or so. This is my review.

Another reason why I love Cameron Highlands so much (minus the journey) is the Smoke House, built as a relaxation place for the old armies ..untuk mereka2 yang homesick. This is my review.

Me, inside the Time Tunnel museum..

It's obvious that strawberry is the most celebrated in Cameron Highlands.. paling femes, paling disayangi..paling di makan haha

strawberry tart, strawberry muffin, strawberry cheese cake, strawberry ice cream

strawberry glory!

And I like their food market. Strawberry chocolate RM2 ..what do you think? mahal kan.. beli juga baru style. Sentimental.

even the umbrella ela, and rug juga strawberry =D

Oh yeah, this is the Smoke House. It has a beautiful garden inside, but you have to register as a patron before you are allowed in, so we just stay at the outside. However, I have a few pictures at the garden from my previous post.

the biker's jacket for non biker =P

let's Hogwart!

and last but not least...my favorite;

Just keep it to yourself

The human heart has hidden treasures; in secret kept, in silence sealed, the thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, and the pleasures.

to sin in secret is no sin at all

acting ungrateful

Hubby was busy playing carpentry, installing shelves in the cupboards. Well, I’m fine with the on-going noise, not until I smelt the syelek. OMG, in a second I was feeling a whirling sensation -- like riding a merry-go-round. OK, not good!

So, I asked hubby to stop whatever he was doing and gave his attention to me. He did and he was about to prepare the lunch. (It was already 2pm) Preparing lunch means ‘go out and buy the foods’. To be frank, malas gile masak sekarang.. and that had been going up for quite a while now!

As I started to eat my lunch I made a promise to myself its gonna be as minimum as 5 suapan pun jadilah. I’m lack of appetite, like really losing appetite. He did suggested me a few meals, tapi semua2 pun taknak la..serius mengada2

So, I took my time over the first suapan (macam biasa susah nak telan) and suddenly it has brought vomiting 4 or 5 times and stomach cramps =( Penat je makan kan..muntah pulak! So I decided no food but nestum je la. Bad sunday but it is weekend, so he's around (luckily!). I fell asleep.

When I woke up, I heard Dumbledore or Prof Snape's voices and I was like ‘did you really massage me until I fell asleep? Thanks hubby!

So, at last I had spaghetti with cream sauce as my dinner. I looked at the food, I started to bermuhasabah with myself. I really can’t imagine a woman who is pregnant without her husband around. Who will take care of her, relax her or massage her? And those who are less fortunate, they don’t have much choices- makan je apa2, tak boleh nak mengada2.

I think I’m acting ungrateful =(
