Mr. Crab and Miss Fish

ASSALAMUALAIKUM..


ALHAMDULILLAH...kenyang sudah lunch tadi. As I mentioned before, hari ni temanya ialah seafood. Ni nak cerita ni.


Malam tadi, my lovely friends; Nina, Jos, Fie, Zaf, Wani, Elly, Gie and I lepak-lepak chill kat kedai mamak depan kolej. reason being, kami nak release tension. Serious weh, hari sebelumnya, seharian kami stress dengan assignments, classes and also test. So, tak salah kan lepak-lepak chill sekali sekala. It's better than buat benda-benda yang pelik-pelik dan tak sepatutnya seperti menggila, menjerit tak tentu pasal.


Yeah..dapat gak makan tosai yang besar punya n lembut with fish curry. Yummy. Serious la kan, makan agak dasyat malam tadi. macam-macam disumbat. HEHE..sekali sekala. On our way back home, singgah kedai Abang Mesra (I dont know the shop's name, so..let us call it kedai Abang Mesra je la ye.), beli barang-barang nak masak hari ni. Aku pun pergilah buka fridge kedai tu, nampak macam-macam. kan pari, udang, sotong, ayam, macam-macam la. So..aku belilah ikan selar 3 ekor. Tiba-tiba abang itu berkata,


"nah dik, ambiklah ketam ni", sambil bergaya macho. LOL.


Alhamdulillah..dapat ketam free. waktu nak bayar barang-barang semua (Ikan 3 ekor, serbuk kunyit, cili api, belacan, kobis, bawang merah, bawang putih, cili kering,  tah ape tah lagi aku beli ), harganya RM6.30. abang berkata lagi, "RM6 aje lah.". makasih pak.


So lunch hari ni mewah sikitlah. mewah dari definisi hidup aku di perantauan (perantauan lah sangat) ni ialah, bebas dari sardin dan ikan bilis goreng. sebab, selalunya, sardin tu da kira agak mewah la. HAHA.


godek..godek..kelentang..kelentung..kecepur, kecepir..gedek..gedek..siap. Jom makan.

ada apa ada dengan nama

ASSALAMUALAIKUM.


yeah..housemate a.k.a classmateku, Gie telah tag aku untuk satu contest ni, "Ada Apa Dengan Nama". mari kita join contest ni (saja hilangkan mengantuk buat assignment, kan?)



well, nama aku Siti Nor Effadila. ha..cukup panjang tak? cukup tak? cukup tak? tah camanalah tok kadi nak sebut nama aku nanti, eh? oops... hehe.


Terima kasih ibu, ayah, makcik- makcik dan siapa-siapa jugalah yang terlibat secara langsung atau tidak dalam pembikinan nama ini. cewah. gituwww... dah hampir 21 tahun aku hidup dengan nama ni, alhamdulillah.  :)


aku rasa, akulah antara spesis manusia yang banyak nama panggilan. like..SERIOUSLY. kadang- kadang tu aku pun konpius. boleh tak gitu? ni lah serba sedikit kisahnya.


dalam kalangan ahli keluarga, saudara mara dan jiran tetangga.

1.angah
2.dila


dalam kalangan kawan-kawan

1.effa
2.epa
3.pa

dalam kalangan mereka yang nakal-gila-panggil-nama-aku-macam-tu-lepuk-kang!

1.eppadullah
2.epadol
3.afamosa
4.fafau

haha.macam2 kan? so conclusionnya, nama panggilan aku memang pelbagai. paling I cannot go waktu sekolah menengah dulu, sir English aku, Mr. M, called me, "apple". APAKAH weh? APAKAH? lecturer2 aku sekarang ni pun selalu salah sebut, "erra" la, "ifa" la. MENGAPA? MENGAPA? haha..


apa-apa pun, seronok jadi Siti Nor Effadila ni. sebab, akulah Siti Nor Effadila tu? paham tak apa kaitannya? aku pun tak paham. LOL.yang pasti, semua orang patut bangga dengan nama yang ibu dan ayah berikan. simply because, your name is the best gift from your parents, live with it.  :)

oh ye..creator contest ni, nama panggilannya yad'z, aku rasa namanya macam tu sebab nama-nama yang diletakkan huruf 'z' kat belakang ni biasanya bunyi macam cool..kan? cuba letak nama korang dengan 'z' kat belakang. cool kan? hee.


nak tag ni la.

done. I really feel like fainting now. 










I hate Internet for ever 2 hours.

"KAMEK SUKA MAKAN MAKANAN SARAWAK. NYAMAN EHH".

ASSALAMUALAIKUM..


WOohoo..minah Sarawak mana pulak ni aih? LOL. well.. dinner hari ni aku ke luar Semenanjung, ke Sarawak. figuratively yeah. Not literally. My super gorgeous senior a.k.a my housemate, Kak Sha is a Sarawakian. She once told me that she really wanted to eat mee kolok. It's a Sarawak's traditional food. Yeah, I've never heard of it, never tasted it and never made it! But, her sweet sympathetic innocent face makes me saying, "okay..nanti Kak Sha nak makan, tell me. I'll try cooking it for u."





apakah yang berlaku bila budak KL masak makanan Sarawak?
.
.
.
.
.
.



tadaa...... FIRST TRIAL of mee kolok soaked in hot beef soup and eaten with spicy soy sauce.  :)




makan..mari. kamek mok makai.


Okay, I've asked Zaf, my friend a.k.a my housemate, she is a Sarawakian too, about the taste, she said, the taste is almost there. You know what that means? I'm not sure myself, but I reckon she means it is still edible, LOL. perhaps. But yeah, positive comments are received from Kak Sha, Nina and Wanie who tasted it. Probably, it can still be improved, the soup can be made more thicker, perhaps like making sup tulang.  ;)


All and all, I had fun trying it and most importantly, I had fun watching 'em (my besties and housemates) trying it. 


p/s: I do believe in one thing, which i've practiced since my primary school's year:

FOODS ARE MEANT TO BE SHARED. 

and I do believe too that to win someone's heart (not necessarily regarding love yeah), is through their tummy.


till then, see ya. If you want the recipe, let me know. hee.. oh yeah, probably the mee kolok I prepared looks a lil bit different because Kak Sha cpuldn't find 'mee sanggul' at the store she bought the ingredients. So, I used another type of noodle, soy sauce dried noodle. (the ones which looks like kuey teow but tastes more chewy.)


"kamek mok ucap good night. buat deng-deng semua"

translation: "I wanna wish good night to all my darlings." LOL. betullah kot.

"RUMAH AKU BERSEPAHLAH, APA NAK BUAT?"

ASSALAMUALAIKUM



"tilam..tilam..tilam lama tukar baru..tilam..tilam.."


haha. that is exactly what I have in front of my house in Tg.Malim now, the moment I am writing. A lorry selling mattresses to houses. 




So, am I going to talk about tilam here? Not quite right. Let us discuss (Is this a discussion?). Let us talk about...

KEBERSIHAN or they call it CLEANLINESS

This very morning, My beloved housemates and I were determinedly cleaning up the house. The targeted area were the kitchen, hall and also the veranda. I am now (since last sem) staying outside, no longer in the college. Not because i got kicked out from the college yeah. It was because, I wanted more privacy. wah? LOL. Main reason would be, in my new house, I am allowed to COOK. Hoyeah... big grin please. ah.ha..that's how I loike it. heh.




OKAY..back to the topic. 



mengapa nak berbicara isu kebersihan pula ini hari? kerana..sebenarnya isu ini sudah lama bermain di fikiranku namun baru kini dapat dikongsi bersama.




I've been hearing for quite some times about how dissatisfied my friends were, not only my friends, even me myself when I was staying in the college, about house's CLEANLINESS.


Ini antara keluhan-keluhan mereka.(okay, exaggeration is unavoidable. LOL)




1. "eee..kotorlah tandas. mangkuk tandas berlari-lari, sinki berdaki"



2. "aduh..apahal sinki tersumbat ni? (godek-godek tangan dalam sinki)..eee..yuhh...tulang arnab?"



3. "la..ni kenapa pinggan mangkuk tak dibasuh? huyyo..berkulat dah."


HAHA.these are several of the grumblings, I suppose. 


PERSOALANNYA. Mengapakah ini berlaku? bak kata salah seorang pengacara NTV7 dulu, "ape kejadahnya ini semua?"  <<<----- (kenapa aku rasa ayat ni kasar?)


pernah tak terfikir, kita semua dah dewasa, hal-hal kebersihan ni dah tak patut timbul. Don't you think so?

kalau benda-benda macam ni berlaku dekat mereka yang duduk dengan kawan-kawan yang rapat, tak apalah. paling-paling pun, boleh je selamba badak Sumatera, tampal notis comel-comel macam ni: (jap...chomel kewww?)
.

..
.
.
.
.
.
haha. ayat tak bole blah. anyway, I pasted this after the kakak senior who is staying together with me agreed bout it too. so no offense la.  ;)


    
yeah. "jangan marah ye dengan notis ini, untuk kebaikan bersama"

Ha.. this is all because, all this while we dont have problems with each other in the house, so to paste such notice is not a problem, I suppose. 
Tapi bagaimana yang duduk di kolej, dengan kawan-kawan yang baru kenal, yang belum mereka tahu hati budi masing-masing. Takkan nak tampal notis juga? Ada pula yang terasa hati nanti, fikir yang, "ek eleh..poyo gila nak tampal-tampal notis bagai. Ingat aku ni budak kecik ke nak kena ingat-ingatkan macam ni?!".  ha..tak pasal-pasal timbul pula isu lain, kan dah naya macam tu.


tapi kelakar kan?

tak nak ditampal notis tapi suka buat sepah.


macam-macam. Hal macam ni, tak kiralah pompuan ke, laki ke..sama saja. Walau macam mana sibuk sekalipun anda, jagalah kebersihan rumah. Kita kena ingat. Kita bukan duduk sorang je, jadi, be considerate. After all, belum ada kes orang masuk wad sebab kemas rumah. belum pernah lagi aku dengar berita,
"Seorang Pelajar dikejarkan ke Hospital Akibat Membersihkan Rumah", kan?


Tak susah pun. Konsep dia senang je.


TAK NAK BERSEPAH, JANGAN BUAT SEPAH.  :)


P/S:thanx to Wani, Elly, Zaf, Kak Pah and Kak Sha for the hard works this morning.  ;)

These tickle me.

ASSALAMUALAIKUM...


How ya' doin' ? How's your Saturday been? cool? hot? mine is hot. The weather off course. I've just attended my weekly choir class this morning. We practiced a new song today, Lagenda. We were done with I  Hear the Music in Me, so my lecturers decided to do Lagenda today. I must say, the harmonization's arrangement for this song is way too difficult as compared to our previous song. Holding a position in soprano, it challenges me more, tho. But yeah, all and all, I had fun. I reckon, my choir class is the only class that I can pour my stress i had leading my hectic uni's life into. :)



So, today's entry basically relies on the topic:



AKU RASA PELIK TENGOK ORANG PELIK PADA BENDA YANG TAK PELIK


Long enough? I reckon so. LOL. basically, topik ini berkaitan 3 kata kunci. pergh..kata kunci tuh.


1. Aku rasa pelik

2. tengok orang pelik

3. pada benda yang tak pelik


kadang-kadang kalau aku berjalan-jalan, bersiar-siar, meronda-ronda, berkeliaran ke mana-mana sahaja di waktu senggang, pasti aku akan dapat lihat situasi-situasi yang aku rasa biasa saja tapi akan ada orang-orang yang pandang pelik padanya. Aku akan highlight 3 daripadanya.



1. Kenapa orang rasa pelik tengok orang lain membaca TAPI tak pelik tengok orang lain pasang lagu kuat-kuat?


courtesy of Google


~ Im not being bias here tapi sememangnya agak sukar untuk kita lihat orang- orang kita membaca selain di perpustakaan dan di tempat-tempat pengajian dan di mana-mana sahaja tempat yang sememangnya akan menjadi tempat orang membaca. Aku sendiri pun dulu bukanlah 'reading person'. Selalunya kalau aku balik KL dari Tg.Malim menaiki tren, selalunya, macam-macam gelagat aku akan lihat dalam tren. Ada yang makan-makan, ada yang tidur, ada yang asyik berbual tapi sangat jarang yang membaca. well, kalau nak fikir pun, tak semua orang suka membaca dalam kenderaan awam, reason being, mereka akan pening-pening. I had the same experience too, but that was when I was in the car.Tapi, tak salah pun kalau nak membaca dalam tren ke, dalam bas ke, lori ke, but not motor and basikal lah kan. (tak perlulah gigih sangat, kan?). Kenapa bila kita membaca dalam kenderaan awam, mereka akan lihat dengan pandangan yang pelik? fine. I know, tak baik bersangka buruk. tapi tak salah kan, kalau nak elak prasangka buruk tu, dengan bertanya pendapat orang lain, macam aku buat skrg ni. I noticed this sebab dah beberapa kali berlaku. Not only to me, to my friends too.




TAPI...


kenapa macam tak ada pula orang buat muka pelik bila orang lain pasang lagu dari HP mereka kuat-kuat dalam kenderaan awam?

2. kenapa orang pelik tengok orang bertudung labuh TAPI tak rasa pelik tengok couple berkepit- kepit?

~ pergh. Sure orang akan hentam aku dengan persoalan ni. First, sebab aku pun bukan bertudung labuh, so orang akan kata, "ek eleh..cakap banyak,macam dia bertudung labuh lak. " second, sebab aku single, so orang akan kata, "condemn orang couple lak, jealous lah tu". TAK. bukan sebab tu tau. Sebabnya, aku pun manusia biasa. apa aku rasa dan fikir aku patut kongsikan sebab aku pasti, kat luar tu, ramai ada yang terfikir benda yang sama macam aku fikir, kan?

ha..berbalik kepada isu tudung labuh tu. Benda ni pun aku saksikan sendiri. Bila gadis-gadis bertudung labuh masuk ke sesuatu tempat macam mall ke, even kalau kat tempat tunggu bas sekalipun, pasti akan ada yang melirik je mata ke arah mereka seakan-akan bertudung labuh tu something yang pelik. hurm..
courtesy of Google



TAPI..


Kenapa bila pasangan yang tiada hubungan yang sah berdua-duaan berpegangan tangan, itu dah macam, "alah..biasalah tu. orang tengah bercinta.semuanya indah."  ????

courtesy of Google



3. kenapa orang rasa pelik dengan orang yang cuba speaking in English tapi tak lancar TAPI tak pelik dengan orang yang mengutuk dan mentertawakan orang yang mencuba tu?

courtesy of Google



yang ni memang pelik. Mind telling that, situasi macam ni  lah yang sebenarnya menjadi salah satu penyumbang kepada kurangnya motivasi seseorang untuk mencuba yang terbaik dalam berucap in English. Sometimes, kita semua ni kena jadi sensitif sikit. Kalau dalam berucap tu, kena berhati-hati, takut2 kalau apa yang kita buat atau ucapkan tu sebnarnya beri kesan pada orang lain. contohnya kalau si A salah sebut satu perkataan, si B pulak gelakkan dengan niat bergurau. ha.. tup2..si A dah langsung tak cuba speaking sebab malu digelakkan. see..how easy our actions influence others' actions.  kan?


sebenarnya banyak lagi benda yang tak pelik tapi kita rasa pelik. memang pelik, kan? apa-apa pun, tak guna bebel panjang. aku cuma nak ingatkan diri sendiri dan saling mengingatkan antara satu sama lain, kita semua ni pelik sebenarnya. Cuma, kita je tak sedar. Jadi, janganlah sibuk mencari kepelikan orang lain.


aku perlu kau.


kau perlu aku.


kita tak sama.


kerna itu kita saling memerlu.

Are you interested? are you?

ASSALAMUALAIKUM....



Yo...how ya doin'? This time's entry will be a bit provocative. ha? yeah.. not that provocative though. sorry for making the introduction sounds quite political. (yeah..blame the wave we are having now, wave of election. here and there people are busy with elections. manifestos here and there. promises here and there. banners and posters here and there. okay. I should give a halt now. )


BACK TO BUSINESS!!!!!



Business? what kind of business. hurm..actually, I haven't started involving in any sort of business, yet. I think I am about to, on the next few weeks, probably. Well, this is not my own invention or they call it idea or some people call it creation or they sometimes call it innovation.. (enough with the definition Effa, they have this thing called DICTIONARY). hehe.. okay..where were I just now? ha.. yeah..about this business. It is actually my bestie a.k.a my neighbor's business. I am just helping and I was thinking to be one of the wholesalers.. IF...IF...there are buyers who would like to buy 'em, and that would be the main reason of why I posted this thing. yeah..that is the main point. WOULD THERE BE ANY BUYERS? WOULD YOU, YOU,YOU AND YOU BUY 'EM?




LOL. well, I should give it a try, shouldn't I? you will never know before you try, aite? OKAY..done talking. let me show you what the business is all about.




Here are some of the products. Mind telling you few facts about them all. (OMG! when will you show them?)


1. They are 100% handmade. yeah.. HANDMADE! so u can say that, the effort worth paying for.

2. They are the original or we call it authentic designs from the owner, which most of 'em you cant find elsewhere. so again, they are worth paying for.

3. They can custom made the products for u..like..SERIOUSLY. You can tell what colors you want, and they'll make it for you, insyaALLAH. so, yeah. worth paying for.

4. They mainly use felt fabric as the main material for the products. what is felt fabric? this is felt fabric.basically, they wont be easily ripped of or torn out probably because of the elasticity or whatever -city they possessed. (yeah, Im no good in Chemistry to vividly explain them all to you. Google might help,tho). yeah, again... they are worth paying for.


Take a look at 'em all.


ready..set..GO~




cute, eh? this can be made into hair clip too. if u want.






ok. I know i look hideous. shut your eyes now. but..not to the ribbon. hee



I personally think this is adorable. u can ask for this to be a brooch too.



hair clips version



brooches version



lovey dovey..hey2..u can put these on your bags too, aite?



it'll look good on you as how it looks good on this cute lil girl.  ;)



I love this..loike seriously. available in various colors. just ask for 'em. and yeah..this ring is adjustable, according to your fingers sizes

even the chubby me can fit into em.  :)





this too can be made into hair clip.



bored of using normal tudung or shawl brooches? go for this one instead.  :)







I guess these would be enough for now. They have quite a lot more to offer to you. kindly visit their:



for more infos okay? 



EH..wait. would u like to buy 'em if I sell 'em? okay, this question is for UPSI students because Im studying here so..yeah..for them. For those staying far from UPSI, Tg. Malim, Perak, u can still buy 'em. :) . Kindly visit those two sites I've given just now. Their FB page and their Blog site. okay? Seriously..you should grab at least one of the products. :)


again..would you want to buy them if I sell 'em?  :)

kenapa dengan aku ni?

ASSALAMUALAIKUM...



This week was quite disastrous I must say. Why? because I thought so. yeah...a so not helping's answer.



aku nak cakap ni, suka hatilah nak dengar ke tak. ala...dengarlah. I mean, bacalah. mana tahu kot2 kalian pun ada terkena gak..



1. Minggu ni minggu paling banyak aku sakit perut (dah..aku cakap sakit perut. jangan nak pandai-pandai tukar kata nama itu dengan mana-mana kata nama yang seumpama maksudnya atau lebih teruk sikit maksudnya.)


2. Minggu ni paling banyak kerja. TIPU. tiap-tiap minggu pun banyak kerja. tapi minggu ni paling pergh-banyak-gila-kerja-aku-mana-nak-start-ni-tolong-tolong-oh-aku-tak-faham.


3. Minggu ni aku KUAT MAKAN. okey..aku tau. mesti yang macam.. "hek eleh...bajet waktu-waktu lain kau tak kuat makan". But seriously aku kuat makan. sekarang ni pun aku tengah menaip sambil ngap Vanilla Cornetto.



4. Minggu ni aku punya mata makin teruk. TIPU. dah lama dah mata aku teruk. serius weh. silau habis. kalau keluar je dari rumah nak ke kelas, sure aku rasa nak pengsan sebab terlalu silau padahal member-meber aku okeh je selamba kak limah bukak mata besar-besar. takde masalah pun. sampaikan kalau nak tengok slides waktu dalam kelas pun silau ada. In fact tengah menaip ni pun, silau juga. PENING wo kepala wa.  T_T

3. apa-apa berkaitan hal-hal pompuan.

ASSALAMUALAIKUM..

yeah.. It's been ages since I last posted here. well, apparently I have been tagged by my lovely friends on several interesting contests.

(hey2..this is my very FIRST TIME joining a contest on blog).yeah.. I must say, the organizer, sis Namee is sweet,that would probably be the reason why she organizes such contest, simply because she has one too. :)

Dari yellow belt nak ke green belt. disebabkan aku puas sebab test dah habis, aku pun mintak la bergambar dengan beliau. yeah, jurulatih taekwondo kan biasanya agak tegas dan ada yang garang. tapi aku tak tau kenapa aku boleh selamba camni. tapi Sir ok je...kot. haha.

so Sis Namee, kalau rasa saya boleh menang, Im honored to win. tak menang pun takpe..janji ceria..mari senyummmm...  :)
