Opah dah kembali ke rahmatullah

Pagi tadi, 2am Malaysia 8pm Holland, Opah kembali ke rahmatullah. Memanglah fitrah manusia merasai kesedihan apabila orang yang tersayang meninggal dunia. Mula2 rasa macam nak balik, tapi kalau balik pon, tak akan sempat tgk Opah. To comfort myself, I rationalize. Opah bukan pergi mana pon, dia cuma kembali pada penciptanya. Anyway, she's not in pain now, kalau tidak, sakit jugak dengan kanser tu. Dulu time Ziad kecik2 dulu selalu jugak tido dengan opah. But then there comes other competition utk tido ngan opah, mainly my other cousins and the cicits. Dia la yang ajar Ziad doa tido and gerak Ziad untuk subuh. She was known for being Santa Claus...every few years or so, she's distribute money for her anak2, cucu2 and cicit2... For her, money is nothing to be compared with her love for her anak2, cucu2 n cicit2. 

Anybody laa yang stumbled upon this blog, at least sedekah laa surah Al Ikhlas at least 3 kali. Nak umph lagi sedekahkanlah Yasin and Nak best lagi, surah Al-Mulk as icing on the cake.

Human body is indeed very fragile. Or is it just me.... Setakat nie, this is my 3rd time using crutches. Ok second time tu tongkat..... But still..

This time my right knee collapsed while training badminton. Tak bagi impact banyak pon dekat lutut tu, tapi kalau dah ditakdirkan Allah untuk collapse, apa nak buat? Thanks to Remco who wheeled me out of the court to my bicycle. Ironically I could still cycle back home despite of injury.

Bukan nak puji lebih-lebih healthcare system dekat belanda nie but.... It is very good. Yang examine aku pulak, bukan calang2 orang. Tgk2 dia punya title Prof. Dr. . He's the orthopedics specialist. Pegang punya pegang, rupanya my miniscus jahanam. Dah la Jahanam, dia terlipat and stuck between my knees. So, the consequence of that was, I cannot straighten my leg. Only solution was SURGERY.

Apa nak buat? redha jee... surgery pon suuuuurgery lah... Good thing that papa n mama came.

And Now I'm back..... Fine and danday... Dah start main badminton

Appreciation

Funny some of us take for granted simple things of life. Bole bernafas, bole berjalan, melihat, berfikir.... Semuanya satu nikmat tau!.... Well, Allah took one of my nikmat... Temporarily of course... hopefully....

But really, when a part of your body cant function very well, it really affects everything. But no worries, it will be fixed in a jippy and plus... look at the bright side...mama and papa are coming. Papa is staying for a week and mama is staying for a month! Macam dalam pantang laa pulak

Currently working on secularization continuum. Getting inspiration is a b***

Orientation Week

Minngu Orientasi University di Malaysia

As proud as I am to be a Malaysian University Graduate, I am not proud of our University's Orientation system. Historically, our University orientation system was much worst. It was degrading and humiliating. There were students who went crazy because of the pressure given by the seniors. However, during the Modern era, things have changed..... but still.... it needs major improvement

The video above is just the tip of the iceberg.... Look at their faces... did they enjoy it??

Nie siang siang. Kalau malam-malam kene panggei dengan senior. Pastu kene berleter sampai 2-3 pagi like we are idiots. Tah ape-ape kene ragging dengan senior. Nie tak termasuk yang kene basuh baju senior lagi.

Some institutions even have Army like marches. Penah dulu sampai tahap kene guling-guling atas padang lagi sampai ada orang pengsan. For me it doesnt make sense!!!! We are not going for war!.Those seniors have to understand that new students in a new environment away from their parents for the first time. Let them learn by themselves and not a be a bunch of dictators.

Basically, our orientation system is based on oppression. The seniors were desperate for respect through coercion. As far as I knoe, we are not supposed to gain respect through coercion but we have to earn it by improving ourselves and show good examples.

Australian Universities

See.... macam pesta kan??? The seniors were very accomodative... Terpulangah pada kita... kalau nak ikut ceramah atau tidak. Happyyyyy ja. Macam2 game ada from Foozball to pie throwing. Tapi ada aaa sikit drawbacks... Party terlebih hehe

Nie pulak University Groningen dekat Belanda. Of course memang the parties were extensively highlighted. Tapi, ada macam2 activities besides partying. For example, ada sports tryout, international dinners, tours around the campus, games and macam2 lagi lah

I Strongly believe that we need to change our Oppressive system. Minggu haluan siswa is supposed to be something enjoyable. Not to the extent of University Groningen of course. Our seniors are supposed to be like our brothers and sisters and not bullies.

Not to undermine our Malaysian Universities but as far as Orientation week, overseas universities is the real deal. However, in other areas such as spirituality, religiosity and even teaching, our Malaysian universities are still superior. Kalau dekat OZ or Belanda nie lantak Komee leeee. There are pro-s n con-s.

Yes I have strong resentment towards our University Orientation system. And one day, I intent to change that. Muahahaha

List three jobs you’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter.(revised!)

Menyahut cabaran sedare Pire.....

3)Penyanyi Karaoke Professional

Raya Trip

I'm now writing my insignificant nuisance on the train while listening to Radio Era!!!! Ya'll must be wonderin. Train? ERA?.... Yess I think around this year kot, Netherlands dah ada internet dalam most of its intercity train ... lagi sempoi dari Germany kott!!? Rasa macam naik Bus nak balik Aloq setaq laa pulak. Tambah pulak today, cuaca panas dan lembab. The thing is, youtube kureng sket.... lebih kurang macam Dialup. But Its good enough for me.

Anyway, I found a nice cozy seat in de train. Its in the silent area, not apposite some loud Dutchies and its a direct train.... No transit sana, transit sini

Rewind a couple of hours ago, I saw some Malaysians while I was walking around in rotterdam . It turned out to be UiTM students..... Merbok plak tu.... wah wah wah... Budak2 merbok nie terer2 laaa....Ex-DBS plak tuuuu... Selaluuuu ja gi Overseas (poyo).

Rewind lagi a couple of hours...I was doing my jalan-jalan cari makan. So far today tak sempat cover the whole Randstadt(Area The hague, Rotterdam, Utrech and Amsterdam). I went to Rotterdam carneiselanden to makan Groote Soto Ajam Surinamse... siap bungkus sekali. N then, i went to Den haag Holland spoor to buy its cake and pastries. Pastu gi plak kat Den haag Centrum for its Lams Schotel. Well I think during this syawal, I'll be gaining 5 kilo easy. Tapi takpa lah coz I lost 10 kilo for ramadhan. Yes... 10 kilo wooo main tak lost 10 kilo.... Bulan2 posa dok main badminton macam orang tak posa.....

Dua jam sebelumya, semayang Jumaat dekat Rotterdam... Worth going...ingatkan nak take advantage of being musaffir but , bulan yang mulia punya pasal . The Azan was Fantastic and Suara Imam sedaap sangat. Funny thing happen after Jumuah prayers. There was a half naked guy ran into the Mosque... Depa kata the guy was carrying a knife... but I don think so coz I saw him entering the Mosque..... Nasib baik dia tak violate aku...

Friday nite I beraya umah Uncle James and Aunty Jolanda. I just need to visit them, coz they are family. Uncle James cam besa, besaq hati laa bila adik beradik mai tak putuih-putuih.

The 3rd, 2nd and 1st raya Beraya kat umah Kak Yooong! The best part was My parents and I all of us beraya kat umah kak yong.. Well at least the same tuan rumah. My parents beraya kat umah kak yong in Putra Heights while family kak yong and I beraya kat umah kak yong in Hannover. Beeest ... Ada rendang, daging merah(turun temurun from santa claus"Opah"), ketupat, lemang, tempoyak ikan patin you name it... semua ada! Isy laaa kalau takda kak yong... tensen jugak raya... My close Malaysian Friends "Balik Deraih"

1st raya aaa best! Family kak yong and I webcam ngan family in Malaysia and Bangi. Tolak pi, campoq mai, lebih kurang macam raya kat Malaysia aa

Projek Posa

After about half way through Ramadhan, I came to realize that this Ramadhan is special. Last ramadhan, I was quite alone. Everything was done alone. This time....

After semayang Jumaat, my Indonesian friends ajak bukak posa. Being who I am, I cant resist free food. So.... pergilaa aku sensorang rumah Wahono. Masuk2 rumah Wahono, teringat umah Abang ucop dulu. Dengan bau, baby creamnya, semerbak masakan lagi.... mmg family home lah. Comelnya baby dia...

After abang Ucop balik, aku nie dah lama tak rasa suasana Muslim. Kalau lepak, mesti ada botol2 arak atas meja dan asap rokok/ganja. I dont do all that tp duduk semeja dengan depa, rasa tak sedap hati. Kali nie dengan Indonesian Muslim community, rasa mcm Ramadhan lebih Imarah.

So, antara aktifitas-aktifitas persatuan Pelajar Indonesia Groningen adalah Tadarus Al-Quran dan berbuka puasa every alternate days at different houses. Beeeest... Makanannya enak-enak belaka.

Tadarus pula, interesting..... Range of proficiency ranges from beginner to super expert. So, kalau ada silap, masing2 tegur laaa si pembaca jikalau ada yang silap. Best part, beginners are equiped with their enthusiasm. The thing is about Indonesian, Semangat depa memang kuat.... Cuba laa baca sebaik mungkin. I really admire that

However on normal days kalau takde Iftar together, I'm with my cooking projects. So, one of my masterpiece is Lamb steak with pita bread and Mac n Cheese. Beeeeeeest!

I found that daging dekat europe nie top notch punya Kwaliteit... Leeeeeembut!

Resepi nya simple

Beli daging for steak....

Use butter knife and sapu 1)Oyster sauce 2)kicap

Taboq serbuk cabai and pepper

leave it in the fridge....

as far as I'm concerned it can last in the fridge for 3 days at least.....

so bila rasa macam nak masak, taruk jee dalam pan.... kejap jeee nak masak

Less than 5 minutes each side or according to Jamie Oliver, according to yuour intuition

For Mac n Cheese pula...

You'll need

• Macaronies
• Grated cheese
• milk
• condensed milk
• butter
• black pepper
• Tepung

Rebuih macaronies.......

Pakai non stick pan, mix Butter, grated cheese, condense milk, butter, pepper and tepung sekali and masak sampai agak2 likat tu.

Taruk macaronies dalam mangkuk foil and then taruk the magic mixture of cheese tadi...

And then tauk dalam oven 200 celcious

and then VOILA!!

Jangan jelessss.... Kat Bazar ramadhan takde jual mende2 nieh HAHAHA (Pathetic lough)

Anyway.... you guys know what's another word for "buka Puasa" in Indonesian????

Its menanti Maghrib or "Penngaburan Burit"...... yes it is true and I didn't make it up
