Hello everyone, I have a quick announcement. Aku baru sahaja gaduh dengan family aku pasal something sangat sangat personal and aku akan melarikan diri.
No, I'm just kidding, but I am leaving for a month to the United Kingdom!!!! Yeap, so I will be gone for a whole month. I'm leaving tomorrow and will be back next year on January. Yang sedihnya, tak sampai brape hari aku sampai Malaysia, dah kene balik UTP dah sebab sem nak dah start. But it's okay I guess. I've been on vacation for too long and my final chapter of vacationing will end in the UK. Which, also means blog ni akan mati skejap. Eheh. Tapi takpe. It's for the best
So, since I won't be blogging while I'm there, I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Also to the December babies, Happy Birthday.
Jumpa lagi tahun depan dan please doakan my safety pergi dan balik dan sepanjang aku ada kat sana. Sayang korang :)
Goodbye and till next time

Analisa Makanan #3 : Canoodling dan Marmalade
So hari tu mak aku bosan duduk kat rumah so dia bawak everyone (excluding abang aku) pergi makan kat Bangsar Village sebab adik aku nak suruh kitorang try makanan kat Canoodling. Pernah pergi tak?
(Seperti biasa, gambar ni aku cilok kat google. Tapi lawa gila en decor kedai dia?)
So basically kedai ni serve noodles. Tapi noodles dia ada banyak gila variety which is really the menarik. One thing yang caught my eye was the decor dari luar and kat dalam. To me dia nampak snazzy and cool...ish. Entah, aku tertarik tengok decor dalam dia je. The fun part is, instead of table mats, diorang letak kertas yang besar gila tu as a table mat and diorang letak crayons skali kat meja korang. Basically its for easy cleaning, tapi aku ngan family aku conteng-conteng meja kitorang, siap main hang man lagi, eheh. The noodles yang diorang serve are asian inspired and you have a lot to choose from. The price pun, not bad la for what you're getting. Dia dalam belas-belas camtu but it's kinda worth it I guess sebab serving dia banyak jugak. Time kitorang pergi, silap jugak la sebab everyone dah order mee la bagai, at the same time order appetizers skali. Memang kenyang habis ah. Adik-adik aku pun tak dapat nak finish their food. Anyway as for the food, honestly aku macam so-so macam tu. Why? Sebab the food yang aku order sedap, tapi aku rasa adik aku silap order sebab dia punya kurang sikit rasa dia bagi aku.
(Red Curry Duck Confit Noodles)
This is what I ordered, and it was good. Curry dia sedap gila, itik dia, dia bagi bahagian yang besar, noodles dia hitam so aku tertarik tengok. One thing aku tak faham is the lychee. Kenapa ada lychee? Mak aku cakap untuk bagi that sweet texture. Tapi bagi aku the lychee a bit too much for me. Tak masuk sangat. Kalau korang suka, makan je la skali, perut korang. Kalau tak, just buang the lychee ke tepi and eat the food. Yang ni memang sedap.
(Curry Mee)
Adik aku seorang order curry mee ni ha. It's ok, I guess. I'm not really a big fan of curry (padahal baru cakap red curry mee aku sedap). Tapi it's ok la. Adik aku kata sedap, so I guess sedap la tu. Tapi aku punya lagi sedap sebenarnye (nak menang jugak). Don't worry curry dia tak pedas sangat so it's ok bagi yang tak tahan pedas. Oh and inti-inti dia pun banyak. Ayam, sayur, etc etc.
(errr...aku lupa nama yang ni. But I'm pretty sure it's not duck la. I think that's kway teow kat dalam tu?)
Eheh, sorry tak ingat nama, tapi this is the one yang adik aku order yang tak sedap sangat tu (maybe sebab tu kot tak ingat nama). Even kalau tengok gambar ni pun tak nampak menarik sangat. Oh well.
(Braised Duck and Ginger Noodles. Tapi time tu noodles dia dah habis so dia ganti dengan kway teow)
Mak aku order yang ni. Also not a big fan of this one. Maybe it's the soy sauce mixed with the duck yang buat dia tak kena sangat. I don't know la. Either way, not a fan of this one.
This place ada jugak desserts dia, tapi kitorang tak order sebab gi makan kat tempat lain pulak (even though dah kenyang gila) Tapi the desserts pun are asian based. Ada tau foo fah, bubur cha cha, etc etc. Aku takleh nak comment banyak pasal desserts dia sebab kitorang tak try pun. However, overall, aku rasa tempat ni agak fun. Maybe sebab aku tertarik dengan meja, decor dia la. The food pun not bad. Aku tak sempat nak try everything tapi from observation, aku ada gak nampak some interesting looking food. I wouldn't say tempat ni is a must try, tapi it is worth the try.
So seperti biasa, lepas makan, kena la makan lagi. For desserts kitorang gi makan kat Marmalade, also still in Bangsar Village.
(again, gambar cilok dari google)
Firstly, tempat dia punya decor pun menarik. Tapi it looks very feminine (no hate). The food here are mostly modern western dishes, tapi aku takleh nak talk about the main dishes pun sebab tak makan pun the main dishes. Just nak cakap je yang they have other food besides desserts. I can however comment on the desserts, which aku suka sangat sangat sangat.
(Bread Pudding...something)
This one is super duper sedap. The bread pudding is hot, with some raisins inside, dia bagi vanilla sauce (I think) to pour all over the bread pudding, and to top it all off, ICE CREAM!!! Sumpah one of the best pick me up desserts I had in a long time. Very very mouth watering.
(Lemon Tart...somthing....something....dammit asal aku susah sangat nak ingat nama ni?)
This one also sedap kalau korang suka bende yang masam-masam sikit (but according to my mom it was masam sangat tapi aku ok je, aku suka je) Anyway, this one also is good. On top of the lemon tart is actually not cream tau. Dia macam some tangy...something. Aku pun tak sure what it was la tapi dia sedap. It compliments the sourness of the lemon. Also one of my favorites.
(Oreo something something cake)
This one is ok ok je la sebenarnye. Maybe sebab aku rasa the oreo macam tak special sangat. Compared to the other 2. Sedap dia sedap biasa je la. Tapi if you like oreo, go for it.
(Hot chocolate and Mochachino)
Hot drinks dia pun not bad la tapi aku lagi excited tengok dia punya coffee art. Aku dapat angry bird and mak aku dapat snow man. Its not that often you can find places yang dia buatkan coffee art.
In conclusion, the desserts are a must try. One of these days aku akan kembali and try the rest of the desserts and maybe the other dishes...but mostly the desserts.
Sorry for not giving proper reviews on the food. Aku tak reti la describe taste and texture and presentation macam masterchef. Tapi aku boleh bagi my honest opinion. Anyway thanks for reading. Have a happy eating day.
Goodnight~

Stupid Songs
Lagu-lagu sekarang sangat bodoh. Aku tak cakap pasal the songs on the radio tau (even though ada je lagu bodoh on the radio) I'm talking about the songs on youtube. Semalam aku baru terjumpa a new addition to the golongan lagu-lagu bodoh. But before that, jom review lagu-lagu bodoh before this. It all started with, none other than, Friday - Rebecca Black. Impossible jugak la kalau orang tak pernah dengar lagu dia by now.
(Currently 44 plus plus million views, 800k plus dislikes, 200k plus likes)
Ok kalau first time dengar lagu ni dulu, rasa nak ambik blow torch and bakar telinga. Tapi, after awhile (a very long while) people dah boleh terima sikit lagu dia. Why? sebab dah terbiasa I guess? I mean the song was so bad that it was fun to watch and listen to for a good laugh. And macam hampir every Friday at one point, mesti akan ada orang tweet, or post, or pasang lagu ni. It's like dia dah terjadi icon for Fridays. Tapi aku rasa one of the main point lagu ni jadi bearable is because orang dah selalu dengar. Biasa la kan? No matter how much we hate something, kalau dah selalu dengar or nampak, at one point dah jadi biasa dah. But seriously, lirik dia sangat...genius. And asal ada random rapper in the middle of the song. Who is that guy? And her voice...well beat lagu dia ok...kot?
Next let's move on to Jenna Rose - My Jeans (dengar nama lagu dia pun dah tahu lagu dia pasal apa kan?)
(900k plus plus views, 15k plus plus dislikes, 2k plus plus likes. Tapi aku rasa the numbers patutnye lagi tinggi sebab this is the reuploaded version. Aku tak dapat jumpa the original version. Aku rasa yang tu lagi banyak views)
So this girl nak sampaikan a very deep and meaningful message in her song, which is her jeans are totally cool. Aku tak tahu nak start kat mana. Let's start with the song itself, seriously? a song about your jeans? and of course ada random rapper in the middle of the song. Atleast kau nak buat lagu bodoh, buat la lirik dia pandai sikit. I mean one part of the song she sang :
ABC 1-2-3 That girl wore her jeans like me
I bet she's mad 'cause I look fab
Ha-ha-ha-ha, jack my swag
The level of her literature is equivalent to a budak tadika yang baru belajar baca buku. Tu baru her song, the video pun boleh buat orang nak muntah. Seriously, kalau kau nak buat a song about your jeans, atleast make the jeans look nice in the video la. The jeans were so ugly. And asal early in the video she's driving a car? Mana parents dia? Aku tak faham, dia nak tunjuk dia grown up because she can drive tapi half the video dia tengah pillow fight with her friends dalam bilik dia. Pastu time dia tunjuk those ugly jeans to her friends muka membe-membe dia tak boleh blah doh. Oh, fun fact, lagu ni actually keluar before lagu Friday. Tapi aku tahu pasal lagu ni pun sebab Harry britau aku.
Next, let's go to Hot Problem - Double Take
(Currently 16 million plus plus views, 600k plus plus dislikes, 54k plus plus likes)
Basically lagu ni mengisahkan dua perempuan yang "hot" tapi sebenarnye diaorang pun ada "problems" macam orang biasa. Thus, the name Hot Problem. Okay, first of all, they weren't singing, they were...talking? I mean they don't sound like they're singing. Diorang bunyi macam diorang malas nak nyanyi lagu ni so diorang cakap je the lyrics. And the video, nama lagu hot problems, the video looks so cheap. Why are they dancing in the limo? Is it even a limo? If it is, kalau you can afford to rent a limo, hire someone to make a better video. And the lyrics, haih. Serious ah?
Hot girls we got problems too
we're just like you
Except we're hot (hot, hot, hot, hot)
Rasa nak sepak diorang tak? Apa message korang? Orang hot ni sebenarnye ada masalah jugak macam orang biasa. So korang dah jadi duta untuk orang-orang hot ah? I don't understand. And honestly, they're not that hot. And even if you were, siapa je go around and establish diri sendiri as hot or handsome or sexy? Dah establish diri sendiri as hot, pastu boleh lak cakap "we're just like you, except we're hot". Kau siapa nak cakap siapa hot siapa tak?
Okay, sebenarnye ada banyak lagi video bodoh macam ni kat youtube, tapi aku rasa kalau post ni lagi panjang, takde orang akan baca, eheh. Anyway, the main video yang aku nak tunjuk, and one of the latest addition to the koleksi-koleksi lagu bodoh, It's Thanksgiving - Nicole Westbrook
(Currently, 12 million plus views, 200k plus dislikes, 28k plus likes)
It was just so bad I can't stop laughing!!! hahahahaha!!! Does, the song look familiar? Kalau korang fikir lagu Friday, you're right! Cuma beza nya, Rebecca nyanyi pasal hari dalam minggu, Nicole nyanyi pasal musim perayaan. Mesti korang fikir bende ni coincidence kan? Here's a fun fact, the producers of Friday, also did this song. Surprise! And yes, that random black guy in the video, that's the same guy dalam lagu Friday. Double Surprise! The message in the song sangat straightforward, minah ni suka thanksgiving. Also the song and lyrics were just plain bad. Tapi aku nak concentrate on the video. It's thanksgiving, musim perayaan kan? Asal dia yang masak sesorang? mana parents dia? And suddenly ada random black guy in a turkey costume datang kat rumah dia, pastu Nicole bagi dia masuk rumah dia. Kalau aku, aku dah call police dah. Another part yang tak boleh bla is part diorang semua dah pegang tangan, nak baca doa, tetibe Nicole gi rap doa diorang. And then dia guna drumstick turkey tu as a mic and nyanyi macam orang bodoh while her friends menari kat meja blakang dengan penuh awkward. The video was just so bad aku tak tahan gelak. Random gila video dia!!!
Aku serious tak faham masalah budak-budak ni. Diorang sanggup en jadi famous melalui lagu-lagu bodoh ni. Its like diorang tak try pun nak write better songs. Its like diorang baru tulis the lyrics the night before diorang buat recording. No hate though, atleast diorang try Yang penting effort. I guess the only good outcome daripada semua video bodoh ni, is the parody yang orang buat in response to these songs! (which in my opinion, is waaaaaaaay better)
(I like this version better lolz)
In conclusion, kalau nak jadi famous, buat lagu bodoh, post kat youtube, tunggu dibenci dunia and tadaa~ Instant Fame. Tapi jangan lupa to add a random black guy in your video to rap.
But please don't be famous by doing stupid things. Have a little pride.
Anyway, I'm out. Ciao~

Analisa Movie : Paranormal Activity 4 and Sinister (Spoiler Alert)
Haaaaa, malam ni aku nak cakap pasal cerita hantu yang bagi aku, agak disappointing. Let's start with Paranormal Activity 4 (PA4). By now, aku rasa everyone dah tahu the PA franchise pasal apa kot. Basically all the PA movies is about this family yang kene kacau dengan hantu so every night the main character akan pasang camera in his house to record all the paranormal activities yang happen in the house. Thus the name Paranormal Activity. But this time, in PA4, the main character pasang all the cameras via her webcam (and for some reason dia tak pernah nak playback all the footage yang dia tangkap the night before)
Next, lets talk about Sinister. Okay this one aku serious excited nak tengok sebab trailer dia sumpah super scary buat aku nak terjerit macam perempuan. You don't believe me?
(That's the main character, tak ingat nama. And blakang dia is a ghost)
(Oh, here's another fun fact. Some parts in the trailer, didn't happen in the movie. Bodoh tak?)
Firstly, aku dah lah tak suka the PA series sebab lama gila before something happens. Ok part yang terkejut memang terkejut. Tapi the progression of the movie slow gila. And then, in the movie dia akan tunjuk what happens in the first night, second night, third night so on. And obviously almost nothing happens in the first few nights, tapi kau duduk depan screen, looking around waiting for something to happen macam orang bodoh. Tapi when something actually happens, kau macam, ngeh. Tapi in PA4, slow sangat the progression of the movie. And then part yang patutnye takut, aku rasa macam nak gelak pun ada suddenly. I mean there was only one part in the whole movie yang aku betul-betul terkejut. But the ending made no sense AT ALL. Sebab aku bengang, aku nak spoilkan jugak ending dia. Suddenly ada zombies in the movie. I mean like why??? Takde connection at all. And this main character pun bodoh jugak. Dah pasang the cameras all around the house, tapi early in the movies je dia playback the footage. Towards the end dia tak tengok balik pun the videos. I mean what's the point kau set up all those camera's then? Also, aku tak faham kenapa the hantu lady kene kill her whole family and her boyfriend. The only upside to the movie is that the main actress dalam movie ni lawa gila.
To sum it up, tak banyak explanation, slow progression of the movie, last 10 minutes baru boleh start rasa takut (tu pun takut sikit je), ending bodoh. Baik tengok Casper the Friendly Ghost je camtu. Kalau dah bosan sangat takde movie lain nak tengok, then baru tengok movie ni. Seriously, unless you follow the PA franchise, this movie is just a waste of time.
Next, lets talk about Sinister. Okay this one aku serious excited nak tengok sebab trailer dia sumpah super scary buat aku nak terjerit macam perempuan. You don't believe me?
(Scary shit trailer dia)
Tapi that's the thing about trailers, takleh nak percaya sangat. In all honesty, movie dia average bagi aku. Here's why : part yang terkejut and part yang scary sumpah scary gila. And part terkejut dia lagi la tak boleh bla. The thing yang jadi tak bestnye is that, bila the movie dah build up like this, kau expect ending dia ada some kind of unexpected twist or something. Tapi towards the end, kau dah boleh expect dah what's going to happen next. Bagi aku la, awal-awal tu aku dah takut gila dah, and then aku dah boleh expect ending macam mana, tapi aku harap la ada some kind of twist or something in the end, but no. The ending was expected. Part horror dia sumpah horror, tapi the story line a bit disappointing for me. Maybe sebab aku dah tengok trailer dia, expectation aku dah tinggi kot? But still, nak compare dengan PA4, Sinister jauh lagi scary la. Part yang terkejut dia, sumpah kau takkan expect.
In conclusion : Not bad, but not wow either. Tengok if you have the time la. Or better yet, tengok alone dalam gelap if you have the balls. Time aku tengok, patutnye dengan membe aku. Tapi towards the end diorang dah tidur and end up aku tengok sesorang. Aku jerit macam betina malam tu. Eheh.
So, that's my comment on these two movies. Satu bazir masa kalau tengok, lagi satu tengok pun takpe, kalau tak tengok pun takpe.
Sweet dreams everyone. Muahahahahahaahah!!!!! *evil laughter*

Analisa Makanan #2 : Hardcore Burger
Mai mai mai, Kipas susah mati Burger Bakar semua mai!!! (hahahah lama sial tak guna kipas susah mati. Sangat zaman Gempak Starz). Anyway, malam ni aku nak cakap pasal makanan. More specifically, HARDCORE BURGER!!!! (it's so hardcore, I have to write it in red). So what is Hardcore Burger? It's one of the many burger bakars located in TTDI. Apparently, time puasa diorang ada jual kat bazaar TTDI tapi aku tak pernah perasan la. Tu pun aku tahu sebab terbaca kat blog orang lain. Anyway, now Hardcore Burger is located in front of Homst TTDI at the turning tu. Memang dia letak sign Hardcore Burger besar-besar so senang nak carik.
(This is the guy that makes the burgers. Ni gambar time diorang jual time puasa kalau tak silap aku)
Tapi what makes Hardcore Burger special? Diorang prepare everything from scratch. Which I guess is the reason kene tunggu lama sikit for the burger tapi I swear it's totally worth the wait. Another thing yang aku suka pasal diorang nye burger is that diorang sangat generous with servings. Patty dia tebal, mushroom and bacon and sauce and mayo and cheese dia bagi banyak so it's also worth your money, sayur dia pun dia bagi sikit (sebab aku tak makan sayur sangat pun eheh). The burgers are roughly belas-belas in price but then again, burger dia sedap and juicy and serving dia banyak. So macam it's totally worth it. Tadi I told him to recommend me a burger and he recommended the Atomic Burger. In short, patty dia tebal, ada bacon, ada mushrooms, ada tomato and sayur apa entah yang aku tak makan, and sauce dia, which in my opinion, sedap! Aku tak tahu la dia guna sauce apa time tu tapi it was amazballs. Burger dia besar tahap you have to take it apart before you can actually eat it. Another burger yang aku try hari tu was lamb...something (sorry tak ingat nama) tapi basically burger dia, dia tak guna patty, instead the lamb yang diorang guna tu diorang slice the lamb banyak-banyak in replacement of the patty. Yang tu pun sedap gak for all you lamb lovers.
The burgers memang worth the try and I'm hoping to go back to try the other burgers. The only downside is Aku tak sure bila je diorang bukak. Most of the time aku pergi time malam. Ada orang cakap diorang jual on weekdays je la. Tapi ada some nights aku pergi tak bukak pulak. Tapi baru-baru ni senang sikit nak carik la. Kalau tak dulu that one time aku pergi, thursday night sampai sunday night, setiap malam aku lalu tempat tu diorang takde. Tapi that's the only downside la, schedule diorang tak tetap, tapi aku rasa and harap diorang dah ada a fixed schedule sebab the thing is the burgers are good tapi susah nak catch diorang.
Anyway, bawah ni gambar menu diorang, tapi aku tak sure if this is the updated menu ke apa but it was the one on their FB page. Tapi time aku beli tadi menu diorang lain? Oh well.
(tapi in this menu takde the atomic burger pun? Ke diorang tak update bende ni?)
(The Hardcore Burger. In short, 2 patties, egg, mushroom, sauce, unimportant veggies, cheese)
Anyway, it's totally worth a try and for the price your paying, you get a lot. In conclusion and total honesty :
Dia mahal sikit
Dia BESAR
Dia Banyak
I Like :)
Enough said
Happy eating everyone. Majulah Burger Bakar untuk negara.
(Side note: everyone has different opinions and different taste. This is simply mine)

I Kennot Understang (post yang pedas sikit)
First of all, aku nak mintak maaf awal-awal kalau aku teroffend anyone yang baca post ni tapi aku rasa it's something yang aku dah lama nak luahkan.
Korang pernah tak bukak FB or Twitter and tetibe ada a post on your timeline in english, tapi korang tak faham message yang dia cuba nak sampaikan? Well, that's one of the problems lately on twitter on facebook. There are a few issues yang aku nak bring up malam ni.
Once in awhile, aku akan terjumpa a few posts in English yang aku tak faham. Bukan macam grammatical errors tau (well, ada jugak grammatical errors) tapi mostly English yang sampai tahap aku tak tahu langsung apa yang diorang nak try sampaikan. And these are the people yang menggunakan bombastic words untuk melawakan ayat diorang. Masalahnye, some of them don't know how to use these big words and end up the original message in the post tak dapat difahamkan langsung and the only people yang mungkin akan faham is the writer himself. Ada 2 bende yang boleh buat argument skarang ni. Firstly, kau nak try tell people something or luahkan something tapi takde orang faham. What's the point in that? Perlu ke guna big words? The message yang kau nak sampaikan tu takleh disampaikan in simpler forms ke? or better yet, takleh guna BM terus ke? Are you trying to prove something? Tapi, I can't say this openly to people. Which brings me to my 2nd argument which is, diorang akan counter balik dengan berkata, "Biarlah aku nak post in English. Mampus ah betul ke tak. Kau ingat kau seorang je ke yang boleh cakap English?" or "Yeah la, tahu la kau hebat English, aku nak try improve English aku. Biarlah". If it's the second case, ok fine. Learn from your mistakes and learn new words. I respect people who try no matter how many times they get it wrong. What I don't like is, orang yang dah memang salah, taknak mengaku salah sebab ego sangat, and continue membodohkan diri lagi by using horrible language, pastu marah balik bila dah point out the mistakes. You won't learn anything if you keep making mistakes and not admitting to your mistakes my friend. Even I don't use big words on Twitter or Facebook. Heck, English aku perfect la sangat kan? but I'm open to criticisms for self improvement so aku tak membodohkan diri aku. It's like kalau someone tak reti cakap BM and nak post something in BM tapi takde orang faham. Bukan ke better kalau you post in your original language rather than sounding like a moron in another? Ok fine, dia nak improve his 2nd language, and kalau salah, kita tolong dia. Jangan la marah balik kalau dah salah. Don't be an ass dude.
Aku suka tengok my friends try speaking in English or posting something in English sebab it shows effort. In fact one of my friends yang English dia boleh kira teruk jugak, constantly practiced and end up dia dapat Band 4 in MUET. I think that's a good improvement. Janganlah kita jadi orang yang berlagak boleh speak in a different language tapi end up membodohkan diri sendiri. I mean if it's for self-improvement fine, good for you. Tapi kenelah open to criticisms. It's for your own benefit jugak kot. Everyone makes mistakes. Memang la bunyi lagi sedap kalau it's in English, tapi if it's stupid English, lagi kene kutuk ada la. It's like kalau korang main piano, you learn which notes go great together, bukan korang randomly hit all the keys. Bunyi lagi bising ada la. Makes sense kan?
The main point is, jangan la membodohkan diri sendiri. Kalau korang nak tahu, aku pernah kene the same thing, tapi reverse la. Aku nye BM dulu teruk tahap haram. Actually sekarang pun still ada orang cakap BM aku pelik. Sebab time aku kecik, aku dibesarkan in a very western culture. In fact the only time BM aku dah jadi ok sikit is when aku masuk asrama. Selalu sangat aku kene dengan senior sebab aku selalu cakap English la, sebab BM aku pelik la. Tapi, I learn from my mistakes. Aku accept je kalau orang betulkan balik BM aku. And even though skarang still a lot yang aku tak tahu, I'm doing my best to improve. And the best way to do that is practice (jawapan buku teks)
Aku nak luahkan semua ni bukan sebab aku nak kutuk English orang lain or nak jatuhkan BM ke apa. Aku nak luahkan ni sebab lately it's getting harder and harder to understand people on FB or Twitter. And aku takleh nak tegur openly sebab confirm akan jadi case gaduh la bagai. And aku tahu after this post confirm aku akan dibenci by a few people. Tapi aku rasa somethings must be said kalau tak kita takkan belajar. Aku bukan nak tunjuk yang English aku hebat ke apa, sebab in reality, it really is not that great either. Tapi sama-sama lah kita ubahkan diri and improve ourselves.
OK, done. Finally, again, aku nak mintak maaf sangat sangat sangat sangat kalau macam kasar sangat. Aku bukan nak poyo or budget and aku tahu aku bukan someone yang penting pun nak cakap pasal bende ni. Tapi, you know deep down, apa yang aku cakap ni betul kan?
Again sorry sangat-sangat and aku bersedia menerima segala kutukan terhadap aku selepas ni.
Sorry.

Tiga Event, Satu Weekend
So, recently aku baru diajak menghadiri 3 event yang berbeza and aku tak sure nak pergi yang mana satu (eceh, macam retis pulak banyak event kene attend) Anyway,
URBANSCAPES
URBANSCAPES
The thing is kan, aku tak pernah pergi Urbanscapes and after doing my research aku tak tahu pun who the acts are, except Yuna. So conclusionnye, this must be a hipster concert or aku still tak tahu that many local artist. Either way, the main reason aku nak pergi ni pun sebab nak jumpa Sara sebab dah lama gila tak jumpa Sara. And after dah google the other acts and tengok diorang perform kat youtube, they're not that bad la sebenarnye. I mean The Impatient Sisters and OJ law have some decent songs I guess. Tak lama lagi aku akan transform jadi hipster sebab tak menjadi hipster adalah terlalu mainstream. Basically, the pros kalau aku pergi event ni adalah, aku dapat jumpa Sara, event dia dekat dengan area aku, and Sara nak jual tiket tu kat aku for a cheaper price. The cons are, as usual, aku akan awkward sikit sebab Sara bawak membe dia sekali and aku tak kenal sangat the local acts. Plus, event dia outdoors, kalau hujan how?
AIR TERJUN
Yang ni pulak, out of the blue, Asle bbm aku ajak aku mandi air terjun dengan budak-budak Revival (budak batch time sekolah). Given the fact yang aku suka gila mandi air terjun, air sungai, laut, air longkang etc etc. aku macam terexcited sikit nak pergi ni. Lagi-lagi dengan budak ex-schoolmates yang dah lama tak jumpa. Walaupun tak rapat sangat dengan some of them, tapi still, air terjun kot! Siapa taknak! Dah lah lama tak mandi air terjun. Ok for this one pulak, pros dia, dapat jumpa membe and of course AIR TERJUN!!!! tapi sebenarnye cons dia banyak jugak. Firstly, mak aku macam tak bagi sebab sekarang musim hujan and takut air dia jadi unpredictable pulak tetibe. Also aku tak berani lawan cakap-cakap mak aku. Aku pernah lawan sekali tu and end up aku kene sengat dengan jellyfish pastu badan aku kene enzema (camni eh eja?) a skin disease sampai tangan aku takde rupa tangan dah. Tapi then again after that aku pernah lawan mak aku time gi panjat Bukit Tabur time hujan even though dia cakap jangan and aku ok je time tu. Ok dah melalut again. Anyway, another thing is, again some of them aku tak rapat sangat. So maybe akan ada awkward moments yet again. Plus, kan ada kes kencing tikus or something kan? tak tahu la.
MONODRAMA
Yeap, Tronoh Theatre Shop presents Monodrama staring Atul in Pondok Nyai Temah and Ayie in Aku Bukan Teroris. Jangan tanye what the 2 monodramas are about sebab aku sendiri pun tak sure dia pasal apa. Tapi yang aku tahu, diorang akan bawak performance ni ke pertandingan monodrama or something kat USM. Anyway, hari tu masa lepak dengan Nik, dia ada ajak aku pergi tengok bende ni. Aku macam tertarik nak tengok diorang perform gak sebab aku tak pernah tengok monodrama and plus dapat jumpa balik semua budak theatre. Rindu gak doh diorang sebenarnye. Tapi the downside untuk bende ni is that aku kene balik UTP balik ah. And then kene fikir pasal tiket train la, tiket balik, ade orang boleh ambik ke tak, nak lepak kat bilik sapa etc etc. So macam leceh sikit and plan nak pergi balik from KL to UTP tak cukup solid. Kang dah beli tiket tapi takde orang boleh ambik or hantar balik la then burn tiket la. Susah la. Tapi then again nak jumpa diorang jugak.
So basically, sekarang ada 3 plan yang semua interesting bagi aku, tapi aku tak tahu aku boleh pergi untuk yang mana satu. Entah-entah nanti tak pergi mana-mana pun. Duduk rumah, main laptop tengok TV bagai. Actually kalau aku duduk rumah je pun not bad jugak. Dapat save duit, makanan free. Eheh, no la, aku akan pick one of the above choices nanti. Yang mana satu, aku still tak sure. Jadi, esok lusa je la aku decide.
For now, goodnight~
