Barakallahulakum, Dear Friends!

여러분 안녕하세요! 

 (Hi everyone) 

This week's entry is all about weddings. Almaklumlah, umur-umur gini memang banyak dapat jemputan kahwin dari rakan-rakan sebaya. So this entry is dedicated to you guys :)

1) Nana x Acap

(belah perempuan)

My bestfriend in Andeka finally married to the man she loves! Dah lama dua orang ni bercinta, Alhamdulillah selamat juga. #EconsxEcons

Pengantin tenggelam dalam segerombolan keluarga Andeka lol.

(belah lelaki)

Dulu masa last sem belajar, aku dah pesan kat Nana kalau nak kahwin, bagitau awal-awal. Yelah, baru sempat nak kumpul duit pergi Sarawak. Mula-mula macam takut jugak lah nak pergi sorang-sorang, tapi gamble je lah buat solo trip. Kawan baik kahwin kot takkan tak pergi kan?

A picture of us in Kuching, Sarawak.

2) Tashi

(Kawan dari Sakba)

Tashi (Nama sebenar Masyitah) ni kawan sekolah menengah dari Sakba. Tak sama kelas pun, tapi sebab aku selalu lepak dengan dormmate aku (Mirarock) kat kelas dia setiap malam waktu prep, so rapat jugaklah dengan Tashi ni.

Kebetulan weekend tu aku memang balik Penang, alang-alang tu pergi je lah heheh. Lagipun dah lama tak jumpa kawan-kawan Trans.

And ni first wedding kawan Sakba yang aku pi. Sebelum ni ada lagi batchmate Trans kahwin, tapi tak dapat nak pergi sebab tak balik Penang.

Tahu lighting hancur. Tahu jugak muka macam potato dalam ni hmm. Tapi apa pun, congrats Tashi!

3) Elly x Hakim

Ni lagi satu Econs couple. Elly dengan Hakim pun dah lama jugak bercinta. Alhamdulillah dah selamat. #EconsxEcons

Congrats lovebirds!

4) Izzat x Edd

Ni pun Econs couple jugak. Sama cantik, sama padan. Congrats!

#EconsxEcons

5) Dira x Ajad

Another Econs couple. Bila kahwin sesama batch, maka penuhlah pelamin tu dengan batchmates. Nasib baik pelamin kukuh. #EconsxEcons

Pengantin ft Econs Batch '94:

6) Mira x Nafis

(Belah perempuan)

Okey dah lost track berapa ramai Econs Couple. #EconsxEcons

Congrats, MiraNapoz!

(Belah lelaki)

Keesokannya pulak, majlis belah lelaki kat Bangi. Segan jugak nak pergi mula-mula sebab takdak geng, tapi diorang cakap "Ha datang je, makan free" Lol

Apa pun, tahniah lagi sekali! Terima kasih jemput heheh

7) Eyqa

(kawan sekolah HSBM)

Aku rasa ni kali kedua aku attend wedding kawan dari HSBM. First, Mai punya kenduri masa tengah final sem dulu.

Eyqa ni kawan sekelas dulu. Lepastu aku pindah sekolah masa Form 4, so lama jugaklah tak jumpa dengan Eyqa.

Here's me and the beautiful bride

8) Yana Ahmad

Yana ni pulak kawan aku dari UIA, tapi course lain. Dia dari HS. Kami kenal masa join jadi committee untuk Taaruf Week kat CFS dulu. Jodoh dapat satu bilik dengan dia heheh.

9) Fiefa Mahmud

Fiefa pulak kawan sama course tapi tak sama batch. Tak ingat macam mana boleh kenal, tapi rasanya sebab pernah ambik subjek yang sama kelas. 

Rasa terharu sangat bila naik stage nak ambik gambar, lepastu Fiefa layan macam kawan baik yang dah lama tak jumpa.

Dia tanya "Dah makan ke belum? Datang dengan siapa? Parking macam mana?" Both of them were very concerned about me when I told them I came alone.

What did I do to deserve a pure soul like this T.T

10) Najwa Jais

Mula-mula segan nak pergi sebab aku selalu gerak sorang-sorang kalau bab pergi kenduri orang. Nasib baik jumpa yang lain-lain kat sini.

Najwa pun kahwin sama Econs jugak, tapi suami dia batch senior setahun.

11) Khalilah x Haizaq

Ni pulak majlis sepupu sebaya aku, Ellah. Dulu kecik-kecik main sesama, sekarang dah besar, dah kahwin dah.

Tahniah semuanya! Barakallahulakum! Semoga berbahagia hingga ke syurga aminnn

Sincerely Yours,

My first AirAsia In-Flight Meal

여러분 안녕하세요!

 (Hi everyone)

Harini nak cerita pasal my first in-flight meal masa naik AirAsia haritu heheh.

Kalau nak kira, aku baru 3 kali naik pesawat Air Asia ni. First time masa pergi Jakarta-Bandung dengan roommate sebelum grad (2017), kali kedua ke Kuching masa resepsi Nana (2018), dan yang terbaru, awal April haritu balik ke Penang.

Dua flight sebelum ni aku tak ambik meal pun sebab dah makan siap-siap sebelum naik flight. Tapi kali ni, aku tak sempat nak makan. Sebabnya, aku ada kelas gamelan sampai pukul 12 tengahari. Habis kelas, terus kena gerak ke KLIA2 sebab flight pukul 3:45pm. Aku kira-kira dari KLPAC (tempat kelas gamelan) ke KLIA2 ambik masa dalam 2 jam jugak perjalanan guna public transport. Tak sempat nak singgah makan kat mana-mana pun.

Dah alang-alang gitu, aku pun ambik je lah in-flight meal, walaupun KUL-PEN tu dalam 45 minit je lol. Kang berbunyi pulak perut aku dalam kapal terbang tu. Lagipun RM10.60 je harga dia, hmm okaylah kan. Aku book makanan ni dua hari sebelum flight.

Before take-off

Flying~~~

Dalam beberapa minit lepas tanda "pakai tali pinggang keselamatan" tu off, ada pramugari mai tolak troli makanan. Dia panggil nama, then mintak boarding pass kita nak check. So here comes the exciting part; MY FOOD HAS ARRIVED!

My meal: Roast Chicken with Pesto Cream Sauce nyums.

How does it look? Omnomnomnom

What's inside?

1) Fluffy mashed potato

2) Perfectly prepped roasted chicken (bahagian dada)

3) Pesto sauce

4) Steamed carrots and broccoli (untuk melengkapkan piramid makanan gittew)

Kalau flight bawah 90 minit, diorang bagi air mineral dalam cup tu je. Kalau flight berdurasi 90 minit ke atas, kita boleh pilih sama ada nak kopi atau teh.

Mula-mula takut jugak nak try pesto sauce tu. Almaklumlah, warna dia hijau cenggitu kot-kotlah ada rasa pudina ke kan. Aku dah lah tak minat benda-benda berperisa pudina ni. (Sorry Jungkook and Hobi, kita tak geng bab mint ni//Oh just some BTS-ARMY thing)

Surprisingly, sedap gila pesto tu. Taktahu nak describe macam mana, tapi hmm sedap lah. Savoury, gittew tapi taklah pedas pun.

My verdict:

Taste: 5/5

Price: 4.5/5

Portion: 4/5 (Kalau flight 3-4 jam, mungkin kena ambik 2 pax baru cukup)

Okay so ni bahan-bahan dia. Mana lah tahu tetiba aku ada teringin nak makan ni lagi ke, boleh try masak sendiri heheh.

Orait so rasanya sampai sini je. Aku try jadikan habit untuk menulis on weekly basis, sebab rindu dah lama tak membebel kat sini.

Happy International Women's Day

Annyeonghaseyo! Walaupun dah sebulan berlalu, rasa nak jugak buat entri pasal International Women's Day (IWD) ni. Taknak cerita pasal tema/tujuan/origin sambutan ni pun, sebab semua tu boleh google sendiri kan, tapi nak cerita pasal sambutan IWD kat tempat kerja haritu.

Credit: The Top 10

So kisah dia start sehari sebelum IWD. Team organizer untuk sambutan IWD kat tempat kerja aku mintak tolong team Management Trainee (team aku lah tu) untuk tolong kerja-kerja preparation. Dari 5 orang MT yang ada, 2 orang je boleh turun tolong sebab yang lain ada meeting/heavy workload. Kami pun gigihlah angkat/tolak/susun kerusi sebab esok ada dua talk berkenaan women's empowerment apabenda entah tak ingat sempena IWD ni.

Lepas siap susun kerusi, kena tolong buat kerja-kerja quality control pulak. Kena check bunga ros, kalau ada kelopak yang dah layu tu, ha cabut je bagi dia nampak cantik dan fresh sikit. Lepastu, stapler kan notes kecik kat bunga tu. Bunga ros tu nanti dalam pukul 11 pagi, exco members akan agihkan kat semua pekerja wanita dalam Zurich. Kira macam surprise gittew. Tapi bagi aku, dia dah tak jadi surprise lah sebab aku yang tolong buat kerja-kerja stapler notes bagai kat bunga ros tu. Sampai kena balik lambat sikit tau.

Purple rose for IWD

Mana kelopak bunga yang macam layu tu, terus cabut buang

Keesokannya pagi, exco members datang dan bagi bunga ros ni kat setiap staf perempuan di level masing-masing.

Ni bunga yang aku dapat

Mula-mula rasa biasa je lepas dapat bunga tu. Tapi lepas gegirls MT yang lain (dua orang je pun lol) tahu aku antara orang di sebalik tabir IWD, diorang cakap thanks kat dalam group. Entahlah, mungkin nampak biasa je, tapi aku rasa dihargai, so terharu lah sikit pagi-pagi tu heheh.

I always ask for Nasi Ayam Penyet if any of them said thanks to me hahah

Anyway, tu je lah nak cerita. Kadang-kadang, kita tak perlu pun bagi hadiah mahal-mahal (contohnya tiket konsert kpop/belanja makan Me'nate/fully sponsored trip to Korea #eh) sebagai tanda penghargaan kat orang yang kita sayang. Cakap 'Terima Kasih' pun dah cukup.

SO APA TUNGGU LAGI GAIS, GO AND SAY THANKS TO YOUR LOVED ONES!

Last but not least, meet the general underwriting department. Yang tengah baring atas meja tu lah CEO General Insurance. A cool and funny person he is. Yang duduk depan CEO tu Chief Underwriting Officer, aka Bos Department Underwriting.

Me? Ada tu ha seketul potato terhimpit kat depan-depan tu hahah.

Hello? Are You Still There?

Hello!

Setelah sekian lama menyepi, akhirnya sis dah kembali hewhewhew.

Sedar tak sedar, dah masuk Feb 2019. Cepat je masa berlalu lol rasa macam baru semalam terkial-kial buat assignment sambil diselang-selikan dengan aktiviti menonton kdrama/menulis post di blog/meroyan pasal crush lol.

Entah apa yang jadi kat 2018, aku pun tak paham. Hampir tiada langsung post kat blog ni sepanjang tahun. Padahal ada berlonggok draf yang menunggu masa untuk di-publish heh.

Credit: Tenor.com

Post terakhir aku pasal Life Goal 2018. Alhamdulillah, aku dapat apa yang aku nak tahun lepas, kecuali part update blog/clear draf wkwkwk.

So, dah masuk 2019 ni, patutnya aku dah ada plan untuk apa yang aku nak tahun ni. Masalahnya, aku tak boleh nak fikir lagi apa yang aku nak. Besar kemungkinan jugak tahun ni bakal berlalu tanpa sebarang resolution hahah sebab malas nak fikir ni. Entahlah, setakat ni kita go with the flow dulu lah. Tengok ke mana kita pergi.

Bayangkan, pergi KLCC pun bare face je sebab malas nak mekap. Ingat aku ada masa nak fikir azam tahun baru? LOL okbai gais. See you!

Sincerely Yours,

2018 Lifegoals

Annyeonghaseyo!

I haven't been writing for quite some time. Last entry was wayyyy back in 2017 entah bulan berapa. And now, it's already February 2018.

While other people have been expressing their New Year's Resolutions in early January, I still haven't found what I want to do in my life this year. I was like;

"Hmmmm apa aku nak buat dengan hidup aku tahun ni?"

*insert emoji berfikir*

After I've been reflecting for quite some time, I think I finally found my 2018 life goals heheh.

So here we go;

FARAHTAYAH'S 2018 LIFEGOALS

1) Clear all the drafts in my blog

I have 19 drafts waiting to be published, and most of them are about my 2017 stories. So yeah, more cerita basi to come.

2) Participate in runs as much as I can

I love running. The last time I run a 10KM run was in October 2017. I'm going to start again, earlist in this upcoming March.

So far, I have registered myself for three 10KM runs;

- Asian Games Run 2018 (4th March)

- PDRM Night Run (17th March)

- SCKLM (8th April)

3) Whatever happens, I'm going to run a half marathon this year

Yeap, you read it right. I'm going to run my first half marathon by the end of this year. I have been keeping this wishlist since 2016 and I think I am ready for HM this year. I am planning to run my first HM in the Penang Bridge International Marathon this November, but since the registration is not yet open, so I can't say much. Let's hope that I can grab a slot before they're sold out.

4) Solo travel

I'm going for a solo travel in early May. Since I am travelling solo for the first time in my life, so I'll just go to somewhere in Malaysia first. Need to build my confidence level and my surviving skills first, then we can talk about overseas solo trips.

I think that's all the things that I really really really really want to accomplish in this year.
Pray for me! :)



Sincerely yours,

Keria Gula Hangit

Hai. It has been such a long time since my last entry kan?

Anyway, today I'm going to tell about 'Keria Gula Hangit'.

Alright, so the story begins when my family and I went to AEON Big Supermarket and saw that ubi keledek Am I sure it was ubi keledek? Or was it ubi lain? was sold at a promotion price. So mom bought some saying that it will be used for making kuih keria. Me, being a food enthusiast, suggested that,

"Let's try keria gula melaka".

Long story short, the next day, which was earlier today, I made that kuih. I googled for the recipe and found that Cik Epal's version looks pretty easy. I decided to go with her recipe. Well, I think I passed the part where we have to make the body or the keria itself. Oh apa lah susah sangat setakat uli ubi dengan tepung ja kan?

The disaster starts when I'm about to make the gula saduran. I followed the instructions carefully but I don't know, something went wrong somewhere. Emm well first, you can smell that it's a bit hangit. Second, when I put the keria into the gula saduran, emm it was too sticky. Third, the gula saduran was too black that my keria looks like donut celup coklat. Fourth, PAHIT LAH OF COURSE.

Poor thing my family has to bear with it for today's tea time. Luckily mom came to the rescue by saying that,

"Celup dengan gula icing lah bagi hilang rasa pahit tu"

Hmm I am so devastated with my cooking skills T.T. Before this I tried to make Korean Spicy Fried Chicken but it turns out to taste like Ayam Goreng Madu. Luckily it was still edible, except that probably a few of them might be undercooked. Well, mine was. I don't know about others but they don't complained anything. Tak pandai nak agak ayam tu dah cukup masak ke tak because it was already brown on the outside so how could I know what's happening inside, could I?

So yeah, I'm such a failure when it comes to cooking. Entah-entah potong sayur pun tak betul? Tapi ada hati nak bukak kedai makan sendiri? Well, um I guess I have to postpone that bucketlist first. And I should probably not to think about marriage(?) until I'm able to cook a decent meal. Nanti kena kecam tak pandai masak lol.

So yeah, that's the story. I was too devastated with it that I didn't took any picture of Keria Gula Hangit. I bet you don't want to see it. Terbantut selera nanti. Don't worry, dah habis licin dah pun keria tu. Of course it was me who ate them all. Siapa lagi yang sanggup makan kan?

Appreciation Post: Mainboard Andeka 2016

Rasanya ni entry terakhir untuk cerita 2016 kot. Hopefully takdak mana-mana cerita yang tertinggallah. Here it goes;

During AGD 2015, Alhamdulillah I was chosen to be one of the mainboard for the session of 2016. My other comrades were Nana, Hamka, Ain, Sheera and Ayu. 

The six of us

Governing the club is surely not an easy task. There have been days when I would lay on my bed, crying (walaupun tak seteruk menangis masa tengok kdrama) because of the pressure. Ha tu laa, gatai sangat nak jadi kan?

Throughout half of the tenure, I was on the verge of giving up sebab masa ni memang peak period semua masalah mai menimbun. But I was fortunate enough because the whole mainboard was there to help me through. So this entry was meant to be dedicated for them. Here it goes.

Wishes/Comment to this person

Hai awak. Semoga dapat tunaikan semua bucketlist anda!

Of course, we did bickered, like a lot? After what we've been through for almost half of the tenure, we decided to have our curahan hati session, whereby we let out everything that we're not satisfied with each other. And I personally thought that after the session, we've become closer and stronger than before.

So here's my advice: Kalau tak puas hati dengan seseorang, bagitau dia okay. It's better than holding it in.

After all, it's a win-win situation: Orang tu dapat betulkan kesalahan dia, kita pulak dapat luahkan apa yang terpendam. But, mind your manners okay? Jangan guna bahasa kasar sangat, kang kecik hati orang tu. Settle elok-elok :)

We even used the same theme for our Whatsapps profile pictures after the session for quite some time. Sweet kan?

Disebabkan rindu kat semua orang, I present to you;

HAMKA DAN DAYANG-DAYANGNYA
