Setting Wedding.

It all started with this video link on Facebook.Girls envied the bride and drooled over the groom.In a nutshell,its admirable and I bet all girls would imagine their wedding would be 'legendary' as this one. 

  A Wedding of Fairytale

Glad to know that at least some of us do get to witness and experienced such a beautiful and memorable occasion.At least we know that fairytale could come true...somehow..with the involvement of an insatiable amount of money.So,millionaires and billionaires done their part well this time.
Moving on,I have been watching a few wedding videos.Not sure what exactly they're called..I think it's like the pre-wedding thingy,more like video clips >>>

They were all amazing.I wish these strangers a happy long life together.God bless them.The main topic here is not these people but the wedding itself.

Today Saby and me planned to visit the National Museum.There's this snake exhibition going on and Monday will be the last day.Unfortunately,on supernatural basis,our original plan were disrupted and we're heading to KLCC instead.I felt both sorry and guilty to Saby as I didn't mean for this to happen anyway.I was pretty excited myself.Knowing her affection for snake which is quite profound made me felt even bitter.I should've known in the first place that I'm not allow to go there.I apologized! :(

So,we reached KLCC safely, and walk around the place.I seldom went there for no purpose and today,for the first time, I was actually trailing through the park,where people there seems busy shooting pictures with funny poses,foreigners legal and illegal cherishing the heat of the sun,kids scampering everywhere with their parents and lines of primary school students walking in the same direction as we do-KLCC Convention Centre.

We thought of visiting the Aquaria,but the entrance fee is worth of a dozen Bim Bi Bab,so we went to this exhibition : The 1st International Pameran Pengantin Malaysia.Haha.It's my last resort actually.I couldn't think of anywhere else to go and it's certainly NOT the kind of place I would go in the first place.Why not right?
Sab's reaction was like, "Are you for real?We're not going there!" *internal bleeding* But we got inside.

It was totally for those who want to get married la.Starting from the wedding dresses, the 'pelamin',the decorations,few booths of photo galleries,wedding mags,spas,romantic honeymoon/vacation,bridal gown/make-up contests,suits,wedding cards,etc.
It felt strange to be in such place.The only thing that got me intrigued was the 'gamelan' booth.Still I did look around,trying to figure out the latest trend in a wedding nowadays.A few do's and don't's would be a good way to at least kill the time there.

Many couples were seen there,of course.They were practically excited and seriously looking through everything including doing this facial thing on the spot,together.Amusing.But I'm not in place to critique couples in love,right.I might be in their place and someone might be amused in the same way I do.Karma babe,karma.
Haha.Hope it won't happen la.I'm hopelessly romantic and if it's happening,I'll feel and look ridiculous.

So,at the end of the day,I came to noticed that lately the event that touched my day and at least gave insights was the word "Wedding'.I might want to at least start to read something about it.Now where to find a book titled "Wedding theories" or "Introduction to Wedding"

Masa Depan yang Tak Pasti... 0_o'''

Final year's most eligible topic would be: What on earth are you going to do after graduation?What's your next move?
Continue your study?If not,then working perhaps?In what field?Where?How?
Questions after questions keep popping out from every single mouth that bother to ask.

A bunch of people I met would asked me that and my answer was, "Uhm,continue to study I guess,"
The truth here is that I'm not really sure if it's the right thing to do.Every so often,I feel like working but deep down I doubt if I'm ready to step into the working world.

I would be 22 by the time I finished my bachelor degree and according to the original plan,I'd work part time translating story books and attend French class so that I can sit for my Delf A2 until (if posibble) Delf C2.Then,in July I would continue my Master's degree and at the same time attend the translation workshop in ITNM to get a translation certificate.Chewah~well planned right?!Wish I'm Richie Rich.Haha.Maybe one at  time.I should not rush.

My childhood favourite movie!Haha

I'd probably finish at the age of 24 and I should be able to work by then.But,as a what?I would love to learn foreign language,I'm interested in translation as well as writing.I might go for subtitling too.Which is which?Lately,another option would be me working and traveling at the same time after my graduation and then come back to continue my master's degree after a year or two.It comes to my attention that I have this sudden interest in political studies,sociology and a bit of economics stuff too.What not to study,huh?

On Friday,we went to this career fair organized by  the Job Street in Mid Valley. Waves of people from everywhere were there - some brought together with them their resumes and what not,dressed up for interviews,some were just wandering here and there, observing each booth innocently,some looked excited,some frowned,some were asking questions and some just sit and stare.Linguistics students didn't have that many choices compared to business,management,economic,engineering,bio tech,science etc. students there.

There were options,but not that many and the most interesting job I could find was the position as a broadcast journalist.Woohoo...It worried me sick thinking about getting myself employed.
Anyway,swallowing the 'bad' feeling away,I just enjoyed the rest of the session.Plus,it not the only career fair held on earth and I believe I'm not quite in the right place. I'll take it as my first effort to expose myself into the 'real situation'.Keep your feet on the ground,babeh!

Then,my favourite activity!!The second hand book clearance sale! It was in Subang USJ.Me and Saby were rummaging through the books like crazy.I ended up buying 8 novels for RM38.00 and Saby bought 10++ (I'm not sure how many) for like RM50.The weirdest thing happened when I was about to step out of the hall.An unknown feeling crept up into me and without signs or anything,I suddenly felt like joining some charity clubs and devoted myself to others.Books and charity don't rhymes together.It puzzled me for the whole day.Sigh~
Since then,the line "masa depan yang tak pasti" is now one of my official slogans.

We Just Couldn't See IT

I solely believe that every breathing soul in this world has the right to be whatever they dreamed of being.In this bits and bytes time,we're getting all the chances and opportunities to learn just about anything.We have everything at the tip of our finger.Everything is possible.What could be better?
Day by day,people are getting smarter,well prepared,and much more complicated.We're sheltered,provided with enough clothing,abundance of food to eat,and educated with proper knowledge.What turned us into a complicated,hard-to figure creature then?We're human,and that's complicated enough,but things are just not enough for us that we need to find something that is not there.I think we haven't see much of life yet and we're too lazy to bother as everything comes into our way.

Take note that I'm not referring to any luminaries who have been committing their lives for the sake of world peace,or those who wrote controversial books or those who ignited others to fight among themselves.I'm talking about us,the ordinary,normal people who lead a normal kind of live which has its own ups and downs.

Everyday,we complained,grumbled and demanded for a better service,better food and better everything.We're better than the 'better' we asked for ourselves isn't it?We deserved the best.The irony is that we're not the best either.So where we should we stand?Is it far up over the line or just beyond bottom?Asked ourselves that.

As we are the people of excuses,we'll probably denied it-"No,we do appreciate what we have but we tend to forget," Yes,we forget that there are others who are sharing the world we live in.These people are just not that lucky as  they don't have what it takes to enjoy what the world has to offer.

What is fricking wrong to have a those who's fatter,those who's a bit slow or those with some eye-soaring traits that we don't really favour?They would asked to be better if they could.What's so noble about us that we dare to discriminate them?It's the heart that matter most.It's upsetting to know that there are people who could not consider others well being.They simply turned others who are weaker into a punching bag and beat them as they like it.Obviously, there are something quite not right here.It's even disappointing to be still dealing with this kind of situation at this age.Shame on us all.

Do remember,customs,religions,values, and cultures are a part of us.They are supposed to guide and not to create guilt.We're blinded by our own stupid belief when we are supposed to follow our perspicacious judgment.The place that we live in now is just a tiny part of this big wide world.Don't underestimate anything and expect to get the unexpected.We 're not that great but we're not that useless either.Life offer us choices and choosing the right one is our responsibility.We are not the same but god put us in one world for a reason.

 

We are not bad people,we just couldn't see it.

Write,write and write.

Rolling on Raya

This year's Aidilfitri had been a hustling-bustling one for all of us.It was tiring,but I savored every moment of it.It's not like everyday you got this gathering with a bunch of relatives.It was soothing to see such lively conversations taking place,and the laughters...gosh,the feeling there at that time left a sense of belonging in me.I'll miss that feeling,yes, indeed I will.

All muslims celebrated Raya: they went back to their kampung,cleaned the house,had their curtains changed,cooked dainty dishes and even lighted up the front yard with those oil lamps..What was it for me then that makes this particular Raya worth a while?

I was glad and even grateful to God for the changes I'd seen-for better or worse,they were still changes.It's too personal to be mentioned here but let us assumed that these changes surprised me as they happened.I was and still incandescently happy! This is a believable evident which convinced me that we do and will change-whether we realize it or not and either we like it or not.Time will tell.

In recent years,my mum and I would actually had this argument on where should we celebrate the Raya occasion.We were actually trying to persuade each other to agree with each other's choice of 'kampung'.Before this year,the choice had been either Penang or Johor but this year,there's another option available-our own house,the so-called Bukit Beruntung.

Nah,I won't agree to that last option anyway.That place turned out to be dull,lifeless,and annoying if  Raya is to be celebrated there.No traditional house ever existed in that area,nor orchard with plenty of fruits!I don't really fancy the people there though the neighbours are okay,and I'll promised myself to go bonkers if mum really insist to celebrate our Aidilfitri there.Come on,it's Hari Raya!We need a livelier environment..

I've get used to the tradition where Raya is to be celebrated in kampung,and even though I don't really favoured 'lemang','ketupat daun palas' and whatsoever things that are supposed to be eaten during this festive day, I do fancied their existence and love to see people eat them.So,this year we decided to prepare something which was considered oddly distinct: Spaghetti and 'nasi Beriani'.Imagine eating spaghetti on the first day of Raya.It was overwhelming for everybody,but we just ate it anyway.My aunts did cooked other side dishes,but these were the main menus.

As for 'duit raya',I still managed to get some relying to the fact that I'm still studying.Haha.Thank you!
I bought 2 new books with the money. =P
Plus,another thing that made our Raya is my beloved Granpa.He's the only one left.I hope he would live a long happy and healthy life.I don't really talked that much to him but I do try to make the best of his existence.

Wish I could tell him how wonderful it is to have him here with us.Love ya Gram!
