basuh baju
and tgh berusaha berfikir dlm bahasa melayu
balik2 terus clean up things
kemas laci
sambung kemas almari/bookcase

serak sungguh laci ed
and tak jumpa plak kad2 yg org kasik
harituh ader, ed letak mana ntah
terus putus asa nak carik

benda camtuh la
kalai di carik
tadernyer
kalau tak dicarik
ader jer depan mata
serius tak paham

balik tadi
weather cantik
panas
walaupun mlm smlm snow kat tracy
nyenyak giler tido
kepenatan sbb lepas bercakap dlm klas
terus kene set up booth utk mesia

jumpa dgn 2 org budak mesia chinese
dari Southwest state univ
derang bawak bendera, peta dan siap berbaju kurung
menarik org malaysia nie
terasa ptriotik skejap

derang pun citer
makanan kat sini tak sedap
dah buhsan makan pizza ngan french frie
stefani kater " lebih rela makan magi kari"
dia masak kari kat umah :)
chyi pulak dah nak grad sem nie
lepas nie dia nak dtg minneapolis carik keje

hmmm

satu benda ed notis pasal tracy yg lain dari minneapolis
selain dari populasi yg kecik ( 2 ribu lebih jer )
dan byk ladang2
dan senyap
dan ramai org tua
dan byk kucing
dan byk kanak2

air kat tracy ( air paip )
agak berakali berbanding air kat minneapolis
kater sue
sbb air kat tracy dari wells ( spring water )
and then air dia jenis Soft water
so kulit tak der ler sekering kalau mandi ngan hard water

tahu kan aper beza soft water ngan hard water?

the temp had stayed the same and there is no sign of warming up

i am on my break
i will be speaking in 3 more classes
should be very interesting
i talked to one this morning
we had girl name Shanna who asked a bunch of questions

hehehehhehehe
she reminded me when i was like her few years ago

otherwise
here i am on a macintosh machine
writing up my journal before lunch time

my host for this weekend is
larry and sue muenchow
they had a farm
and yes
like old mcdonald had a farm
it was big and quiet
had a really good time here so far

got email from jess and yung
jess was "angry' that she did not heard from me at all this break
she said " better have some explanation nadhra!"
and yung canceled the trip to stillwater because of the weather

else

bagai bayu
berlalu
..hatiku merindu...
-something on era when i was opening this blog-
really like that song, once upon time..:)

almost finish moving my stuff
from zaza's and noris's house
helped by pyan and awin and zaza
pyan an awin supppose to leave for champaign tonite
with some few other people
but they have gotten back yet from duluth

and so
pyan was geram at me
( ha , lan now you got another fren who want to cubit me, hahaha )
sbb at sometimes noon
he was wondering if i need help with a car
because he just rent one
to go to champaign visiting his buah hati
( farah baca nie, jgn blushing plak :) )

and i said no
after maghrib
i changed my mind
called them asking for help

and pyan was like
" apsal tadik jual mahal?, kan skang dah takleh tolong lama2?
tadik org offer jual mahal, skang nak suh org buat 2 trip plak "
i thought my stuff is not that "much"
but i guess yes
i need 2 trips to get all my stuff to middlebrook

and he kept asking
"tuh la suka sgt jual mahal"
"saper suh? apsal jual mahal?"

-hahahahhahahahahhaha-

so, tomorrow still gonna need
jennifer's help to move my stuff
need to do that early though
since i am leaving for tracy at 2 pm
and be back on saturday
tak pack barang lagik
-sigh!-

haa....did not get that job la
since i can't work more than 10 hours
they want people with people with at least 10 hours working per week
-sigh!-
wait till summer la then
for 2 jobs

me and kyoung rae
have decided to move out
this summer
since we can't keep our stuff
in this dorm
-sigh!-

another problem after one problem
can't help it

lan, dah jumpa rumah?
ker merempat?:)

Sunday, March 25, 2001

i am not that angry la...

heeheheheheheheheh
spending my first 2 days
talking to people
i have missed a lot
and like a lot talking to

sounds like they are all okay and happy

seriously
it is fun just to sit around
with nothing to do
if something came up in your mind
you can either do it now
or wait
nobody can say anything about that!

but i can' t live like this forever
maybe sometimes like this
but not all the time
or else i can go crazy
just sit around
huhuhuhuhuhuhu

Sunday, March 11, 2001

this is propably the most unpredicted
thing you would expect from me
( not so la, but stereotyping-wise )

i got his URL, which i find cool
and seems like nett got some relationship with this person
and i am sure Sera would love this site
~promoting malay language~

wanna know? klik here
i am all excited to tell what happen last nite
that i came here ( to the lab ) as soon as i got back from leaderquest this morning
without even glancing at my deitel & deitel book for c++

we were heading to the hotel
before leaving for Mall of America last nite
amerisuites, cheap and cool

what really excites me was
being the telephone operator
answering a ( just one though )phone call
for KS95 ( local radio and television station )
for kids radioathon

they are raising money
for local hospitals
that is U of M hospital
fairview - university
and gillete children's hospital
for cancer reserach and kids with health problems

and we were on air
for 5 minutes
and talked to teh deejays
van and cheryl
who was on the show
84 hours straight for the radiothon

no offend
but we malays
rarely do that
volunteering job
do we?

i was really upset
before i left yesterday
i got loads of work
and not so sure if leaderquest
was a worth sacrifice

i guess i have made the right choice

i got the chance to do things
i would never have done
hehehhehehehheheheh

even got the "every listener card"
and a CD as compliment from the
radio station
as we were helping them
sorting out stuff
and handing out the phamplet
to people at the mall

hey idzwan, i was also on the radio la!

:)

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILADHA

celebrate raya on my bed
in my class
eating egg sandwich and chips and salsa
not ketupat,
no meat
no sambal goreng

woke up by a phone call
-sera and her little brother, rai

---raya with many datelines---


Sunday, March 04, 2001

well
this is a small world
the doctor that kakx kaky dan kakz
recommended Sera seeing
is someone whom me and my family know
very well

mak,
ayah,
igtkan doktor Yati?
along rasa till now she is still in that clinic
Zul and rakan2?
rite?

what a coincidence
what a small world
wow
still amazed

and i know another doctor
who is also super duper nice
but she is in HUKM , kl
Dr Harlina Halizah
an ObGy

and last but not least
Dr shafinaz ;)

small world

hmmm
first thing in the morning
was a TEST!!
( nv, i won't write ur name here )

went breakfast
read people's journal
( lepas fulfill physical needs, emotional needs plak la )
then check email
something caught my eye
"utk perepuan yg aku sayangi"

uiksss
it's just a poem send by someone
to MANY people
but it makes me think

you can say and want
such and such quality from someone
anyone in the world
but why is there good and bad people?
and who are we , actually, to judge them good or bad
"one's man junk is one's man treasure"
rite?

that poem is dedicated to women
( the old type, who just want to end up settling down, JUST settling down )
what makes me sicko ( kind of ) is
if all men ( sicko ) look for that PARTIcULAR , so defined good
why some people still got divorced after XX years of marriage
after XX years of love?

and who are THEM ( people who think the poem represent themselves )
to CHANGE the women they marry?
since
" to love to someone, is to let them be themselves"

weird
i do not believe that human can be changed by human
i believe any change any wo/man did is because of themselves
and what inspires them
( hidayah? )
that is NOT human factor there except the person's human

then now it make sense
why we defined bad and good people
though such comparison is relative
to our experience
:) :) :)

people will take their time
people will learn
people will change
"these is nothing such as constant except for the change itself"

no more words
just some reminders and mental notes for myself

*dinner mlm nie , kul 7.00*
keje from 3-7 pm
siapkan wost papers & web hunt

selamat hari raya, hua hua hua, ari raya ader klas..hua hua hua
