Talk Show Diva

I can't recall when was my first time watched her talk show, but I'm sure that first time makes lot of changes in my life. To follow the show religiously became a part of my life, as every show will be totally different from one another. In the other hand, I will gain lot's of new information especially the real life story as she will capture the real audience to share their stories with the other. The show was started in 1986 until today had talked all the Tabu topics from around the globe. She gives no limits for the show.

Dr. Mehmet Oz was frequent invited individual to talk about health, as he is the Cardiac Surgeon. I rili interested with this kind of show as it full with information which is useful i daily life as he will be on air with Oprah on "Tuesday with Dr. Oz" . He often bring to the studio the actual human parts such as the brain, heart, lung etc, and will explain any potential action that might caused that parts failed to operate. He rili dedicated to teach the audience on how to take care of their organs so that health condition will be better.

Gayle King a.k.a Oprah best fren and also her O Magazine Editor sometimes will came to the show and gives a lil' bit of funny ingredients to the show. They will travel the countryside and will capture the real life of the real American people. The trip also gives Oprah and her crews the opportunity to stay and live with the countryside family and experienced the daily life without modern technologies in hand. In the modern life today, there is a group of people live some part of the United State and yet they still living in the old style of the countryside life...I rili opened my mouth when I watched that show. And Gayle who loves today's technologies rili can't stand for that kind of living but will be motivated by her best fren to stay positive about that. It's rili funny when we can see people who used to be around with such technologies have to forgone it for a while. The good thing was, they made it....in the funny ways.

Her O Magazine was inspired by the show itself as people just demand for more. Beside her O magazine she also got her own company which called HARPO. Her show will be air from her HARPO Studio in Chicago. She was listed as the most influential people in the State and her show as most viewed talk show on the planet.

One of the Oprah moment with famous people was when Tom Cruise jumped on the couch during an interview. That action happen as he talked about how in love he is with his wife Kate....ohhhh Love can make people do anything.....ermmmm

In the end of the day, she just Oprah, a woman who dedicated in her work in the entertainment industry and have create her own brand with her own name to be part of the world wide entertainment history. As she had interview the most famous people in the show .

How poor is poor? Pt. 1

My recent trip to Kudat, gave me another view about life and education. I've meet this girl who live not far from my house. She came to my home and asked for any kind of house chores so dat she can earn something. I said to her dat there was nothing for her to do, as I can do it on my own. This kind of situation always put me at the serious life condition, where it can happen to anybody.

We were end-up chatted and she started to say about her health condition and why she rili need to get money. She said that her period quiet unusual, as she claimed to have it for 3 months at one time. So, I asked here with quite brilliant question, "how much money that you spent to buy your pads?"

In 2010, I was shocked with what she said that, she never buy pads, she handle it with a few pieces of fabric and you know, do it in the old style. I felt so lucky for myself, thousand times more luckier than her. She also claimed that right after she finished her SPM she just stay at home and do nothing. When I asked her about her ambitions, she said that she will be getting married with a 30 years old guy, who 10 years her senior and she had no choice as her parents said so, and she never dream to grab it. I think when you failed to dream something that's will be a serious situation where you have nothing to push you to the limits.

I'm glad that my parents not having such mind as they rili put education on da top of everything. Her father and my father used to be grown up together when they were young, attend da same school, one thing that different is my father have the determination to success in life and rili focus. For my father education rili plays an important role in our daily life.

My father come from a very poor family. Since he's the only son so he got and extra focus from his parents. His elder sister and him got the opportunity to go to school. My aunt just completed her primary school and my father not even earn his O-Level as my grandfather cannot afford the fees of RM80. Guess whay?my father rili wanted to be a Doctor, but not it's not too bad as he is the doctor in petroleum.

I think the main idea of this post is to equip our-self with education as that only can help us. The opportunity to be with her rili opened my eyes and mind to be more serious in life. And this post is a serious one...or maybe I should come with a post with da title "How serious is serious?" ermmmmm....will think about it.

14.01.2010.....It's Been A Year....

14th Jan. 2009 was my first time wearing Hijab or tudung seriously. For me it's about time to make a change plus it's for my own good also. Thousand of questions pop-up before I decided to wear Hijab; can I stand it? How long it will last? How strong my-self to fight for it?

But my heart just can't stop saying that, this time around the hijab will be forever as I used to wear it during secondary school....last time I used to wear it and sometimes not.

I've read some books and articles discussing about the reward and disfavors that someone might get in the end of the day. I used to received articles about it from a friend of mine, and this person so kind to help me along the way...thank you so much.

Some people said that if you wearing hijab there are certain things or activities that will restrict the movement or also the actions. For example in sports, but I personally think that it's not just a good reason. I used to join taekwondo and have no problems to wear hijab yet enjoying my time with the activity.

But after sometimes I feel comfortable wearing it, and I guess this is it...I'm gonna wear it for the rest of my life. Beside that a lot of thing need to be improve like in Islam, the second pillars is prayer which need to be performed five times a day. I think I'm alder enough to take it seriously.

Well, lot need to be improved from now on, again it's just a matter of time for me to make it happen. But I'm not sure if I can do less talking in the future, because I can't help it....hehehe...InsyaAllah I'll give my best.Temptations is one of da thing which need to be concentrate. It will always be around and be one of the reason for me to FAIL in my process to change and improve.

Rili hope dat I will faced it in calm....

Thank You Allah for a great first year wearing hijab....

Short break...lots of activities...or boring time??!!

For a while I will not be part of the national education system as I will only continue my study for July Intake. So I've planned few things to be part of my holidays activities. One of it I've planned to read as much books as possible. I'm kind of to be addicted to read something to extend my knowledge in any fields of life. For the next post I also will share some of my reading materials and give a simple review from my own understanding.

At first I rili worried if this short break will cause me totally a boring time, but when I think about it, this will be a good opportunity for me to be with my family...to recover myself, and also to look back of what I have done. A lot of things that I target to change or overcome but it just a matter of time. So I hope with this short break I can achieve what I rili want in life.

For sure my blog will be active like never before...since I have no Tests, quizzes and assignments to be concentrates for, so this blog will be part of my assignments.....I mean very important assignments.

Beside that, I will experience a frequent journey go back to Kudat and hope I can write something about my hometown.

My First Bollywood Movie

Rahul, Tina and Anjali da characters to make this movie become my first Bollywood movie that I watched. From the story and da songs arrangement rili take my breath away. I was in Form2 in 1998 when I first watched it., it's been 12 years already. I watched it last nite with the internet application, Youtube..It's still feel like a first time for me to watch it. Although it's not...huhuhu...

Beside the love story, I found that the movie rili shows that we should appreciate our own culture beside worshiping the other culture.

Get back to the story, Anjali had missed the opportunity to tell Rahul about her feeling for him. But after Rahul married Tina, Anjali had moved on with her life. They only meet right after 8 years with the help from "little Anjali", Rahul's daughter.

In the end, true love never die...ok...Rahul and Anjali destined to be together in this movie

Gurindam Jiwa

My mum love to listen to the Klasik fm, therefore I've started to listen for some classic songs which I found rili interesting from the wordings and the music arrangement ......This is one of my mum fav.

Tuailah padi antara masak
Esok jangan layu-layuan
Intailah kami antara nampak
Esok jangan rindu-rinduan

Anak cina pasang lukah
Lukah dipasang di Tanjung Jati
Di dalam hati tidak ku lupa
Sebagai rambut bersimpul mati

Batang selasih permainan budak
Daun sehelai dimakan kuda
Bercerai kasih bertalak tidak
Seribu tahun kembali juga

Burung merpati terbang seribu
Hinggap seekor di tengah laman

Hendak mati di hujung kuku
Hendak berkubur di tapak tangan

Kalau tuan mudik ke hulu
Carikan saya bunga kemboja
Kalau tuan mati dahulu
Nantikan saya di pintu syurga

Go back to KUDAT with my Mum

On the 23rd of Jan, 2010 right after the early prayer my mum & I went back 2 Kudat. Since my family just finished renovate the house and my mum said it's time to hang the curtain.

The design of this house is the idea of my father as he was inspired by the European houses during the European tour back in 2007. Roughly 80% of the house are glasses. At first, my father planned to leave the windows without any curtain to be hang. But my mum as a typical Malay said " Mesti pasang, nti urang d luar nampak kita ooo, tabir cincai pun tai apa, asal bertutup".

I drove my mum's black Myvi around 5.30am from our house in Putatan and reached Kudat around 8.15 am. The car packed with not only the curtains but also a small 6kg washing machine. Thank God, it can fit in.

This is the reason my baby rani can't join...no space for him!!!

We started hang the curtains with the help of my cousin and my aunt who came to give a hand. I was responsible to hang it, we finished around 7pm, erm, quite faster than wat I've expected. My mum and I planned to go back to KK on the next day (24th) but decided to stay until tomorrow morning, as she start missing her grandson, Daniel who will stay at our house (in putatan) for a daily care, as my sister in-law is a carer mummy.

Ahmad Daniel

Day time we will stay downstair la...ok sikit...not too hot

Sometime it's really fun to have this kind of trip with your mum...just mother and daughter.

What to do??? When you are angry!

Wahhh...it's been a month I've leave my blog without any new post. After a long holidays I guess it's time to get real..

People always used words to express their feeling although body language will DO better, but words still be the main choice as words can KILL people. Sometimes when we get angry or mad over something we tend to say something that might HURT others feeling. I always try to overcome my anger so that I will not hurt others feeling when I'm rili ANGRY.

Some said it's good to keep it low and some said it is important to express the feeling to be angry. What do you prefer? In my situation every-time I try to express it BAD words will come out from my mouth, which later I will regret. That's why I rili hate to be angry over something as it will cause me another hard-feeling.

So let us share the best ways to show the anger:.

1. Understand how we express anger. Usually, anger manifests itself in one of three ways. Outward expressions of anger include yelling, screaming or violence, and even less threatening approaches like sarcasm. Inward expressions include feelings like seething, biting your tongue, or suppressing angry feelings. Neither of these approaches is healthy. The third way to express anger is control and channel it into more acceptable methods of expression.

2. Figure out your triggers. An angry response is triggered by some stimulus. For each of us, that stimulus may be different. Here we need to finf the cause that get us to be angry as different people will be stimulus differently.

3. Take time-out. Leave the place and take a walk until you feel calm and able to deal rationally with da situation. It is very important to face the situation when you are ready to talk about it and try to deal with it to clear the matter.

From now on, let us try the best not to hurt other people while we're so damn HOT!!! Me also still in the process to overcome it...Never too late to start...

Remember to try dis , might be useful.

Counting to ten (or a hundred) is still wise counsel
Write something to express it
Talking to someone you can trust and share da matter
Take shower
