Selamat Deepavali, Selamat Hari Raya and some Driving Tips
OK, Deepavali and Hari Raya is coming. Reeely close. And i just can't wait to balik kampung this Friday.
Taking the opportunity of having my own blog (i do not own any blog last year and previous years - thanks Mat Jan!!), would like to wish my fellow blog readers Happy Deepavali and Selamat Hari Raya. If my comments in your blogs were sarcastic and u felt sakit hati, maaf banyak-banyak. Makan ketupat and rendang jangan banyak sangat nanti sakit perut. In fact, calories banyak tu so watch your diet. har har har....
The Happy Deepavali and Hari Raya wishes also goes to my TKC and uni friends - to those mommies and mommies to be, selamat berhari raya bersama anak-anak (the one outside and inside), to newly weds - selamat beraya bersama your beloved hubby, to singles - selamat beraya bersama family aje lah.
To my boss and office mates, sorry for all my wrong doings start from raya tahun lepas until this raya. And thank you for being around and making the working place such a nice place to work. U guys are great!!
To abah and mama (if u both were to read this) - ampun and maaf banyak-banyak sempena Hari Raya. Walau pun anakmu sudah besar, kalau ada duit raya extra, kecil tapak tangan, beg-beg raya akan ditadahkan. We fought and gurau a lot from last raya until this raya and would like to say "zero-zero", ok? hehehehe.
To my sisters and brother, Yah-congrats for your 5As yesterday. Burhan - watch your diet! Ainul - U better score your degree! Ayu - need to do more revision for your science. And Yang - Please change your favourite color to other colors... (what is this? a lecture session? hehe). Selamat Hara Raya! Better iron my baju raya or else i wont give any duit raya!
And to all who's driving, some safety tips (thanks KAAJ) to avoid road bullies (and don't be one too!)...
How Can Motorists Protect Themselves From Tarmac Terrorists (road bullies) ?
Be patient and keep your cool in traffic. The best way to avoid being the target of an aggressive driver is to practice basic traffic courtesy. Remember, never underestimate the other driver's capacity for mayhem :
1) Do not make obscene (facial or hand) gestures
2) Use Your Horn Sparingly
3) Don't block passing lane
4) Don't switch lanes without signaling
5) Avoid blocking the right-hand turn lane
6) Do not take more than one parking space
7) If you are not disabled, don't park in a disabled space !
8) Do not allow your door to hit the car parked next to you
9) Do not tailgate
10) If you travel slowly, pull over and allow traffic to pass
11) Avoid unnecessary use of high beam headlights
12) Don't stop in the road to talk with a pedestrian or other driver
13) Don't inflict loud music on neighboring cars
Other Useful Attitudes:
1) Assume other drivers' mistakes are not personal
2) Avoid all conflict if possible. If another driver challenges you, take a deep breath and get out of the way.
3) Be polite and courteous, even if the other driver isn't
4) Always remember that a truly aggressive driver could possibly follow you home !
Reduce your stress:
1) Allow plenty of time for the trip
2) Listen to soothing music
3) Improve the comfort in your vehicle
4) Understand that you can't control the traffic, but you can only react to it !
Drive safely and take care!!

Smart Shop's mop and William Hung
Pagi tadi selepas sahur aku kemas bilik. Siap kemas bilik, aku sapu and mop lantai kat ruang tamu and dapur. Siap kemas kat bawah, aku basuh bilik air. Habis semua nasi yang aku makan masa sahur jadi tenaga untuk aku buat kerja-kerja rumah di subuh hari. Tadi tak ada lah rasa lenguh-lenguh badan. Dah sampai office rasa lenguh-lenguh pulak belakang. May be pasal aku pakai conventional mop, kot (mop yang ada batang kayu (yang aku lapik dengan surat khabar dekat pangkal dia sebab asyik tercabut jer) dan bulu-bulu rambu ramba kaler putih). Kalau aku pakai mop smart shop yang ada magic dryer tuh sure belakang aku tak lenguh-lenguh. Masa menge-mop lantai aku tak rasa lenguh pun. Pasal aku pakai walkman. Bila pakai walkman, rasa macam berada di dunia lain. World of songs!! Macam tak rasa jer penat menge-mop lantai. Cuma initially a bit irritated pasal mop conventional aku asyik tercabut jer. Lepas lapik dengan paper, problem aku settle.
Masa pakai walk man ada caller nih call the radio station and menang ticket to see William Hung's Concert dekat Genting. Caller tuh sangat gembira!!What? William Hung? That image of the person menyanyi "sheeeee banggg!! sheeeeee banggggg" and gained popularity because of menyanyi dengan teruk sekali dalam American Idol struck my mind. And statement yang aku rasa semua orang akan ingat "I have no professional training" pun mcm bergema jer kat telinga. Aku rasa dia lagi suit jadi comedian daripada jadi singer. His voice is terrible!! Aku pernah dengar dia nyanyi 'I believe I can Fly' kat Radio 4 and Gary laughed his heart out throughout the song. Mannn... people are being so weird nowadays. Kalau aku jadi caller tuh, aku mintak tukar dengan hadiah lain. Tak der pasal nak mendaki Genting Highlands just to watch William Hung (to all his fan, sorry guys! Aku tak rasa dia should become a singer in the first place but he can be a good comedian lah).
What ever it is, selamat berhujung minggu. Please jangan keluar KL ramai-ramai coz i need to do my last minute Hari Raya shopping. Aku lupa beli sepasang lagi kasut for my red baju kurung. Hehehe.

I suppose everybody tgh counting days nak balik kampung and in raya mood (since radio keep on playing hari raya songs over and over again). Would like to share this raya song. I love it so much. Enjoy it!
Pulanglah (Aishah)
( ...Sayang
Di hari yang mulia ini
Ku pohon keampunan
Hanya satu yang ku pinta
Pulanglah... )
Termenung ku sendiri
Memendam rindu tidak menentu
Kasih suci murni yang kita bina
Hapus hancur oleh kata fitnah
Di pagi hari raya
Hati sayu mengenang dirimu
Mudahnya kau menggantikan diriku
Seolah cintaku tak berharga
( korus )
Apakah suratan
Aidilfitri satu titik akhir
Sekian lama bercinta
Kau tiada di hari mulia
Keampunan ku pohon
Sekiranya aku yang berdosa
Pulanglah ku merindui mu sayang
Ku menanti dengan hati rela ( jiwa raga )
( ulang dari korus )
Pulanglah kepangkuan ku oh... sayang
Ku menunggu mu di hari raya
