lavender

Sangat cantik kan? Inilah bunga yang paling saya suka. Lavender. Saya juga amat tergila-gilakan haruman lavender. Terasa tenang dan mendamaikan. Sesuai dengan jolokannya yang menenangkan dan mendamaikan. Entah bilalah saya akan ada rezeki nak menjejakkan kaki ke ladang lavender?

sukan

Maka berakhirlah temasya sukan tahunan sekolah. Walaupun saya tak pergi, tapi saya tetap mengambil tahu apa yang berlaku. Dan senyuman saya sudah melebar hingga ke telinga apabila tahu keputusannya. Merah sudah berjaya memecahkan tradisi yang diconquer Hijau selama tiga tahun.

Sepanjang tiga tahun kebelakangan ini, Merah dan Hijau sentiasa bersaing untuk merebut piala johan. Saya masih dan sentiasa ingat, beza markah antara kedua pasukan tak banyak. Dalam 10-20 saja! Saya sentiasa perhatikan, Hijau akan memotong apabila tiba acara balapan, banin khususnya. Itulah kekuatan mereka sedangkan sebelum itu, mereka berada di kedudukan ke-2 atau ke-3. Tapi saya gembira apabila Merah berjaya merebut gelaran juara daripada Hijau. Dan berharap kejuaraan ini akan berkekalan. Amin...

soooooooo sleepy

Hari ini saya saaaaaaaaangat la mengantuk. Pagi-pagi lagi dah mengantuk. Terutama sekali masa waktu Chemistry. Ngaaaaantuk!!! Sangat-sangat!!! Pedih mata saya menahan rasa mengantuk yang TERLALU menguasai. Kepala pun dah rasa berdenyut semacam je. Saya hampir-hampir TERmuntah sebab tak tahan sakit kepala yang teramat sangat. Nasib baik tak muntah je kat kelas tu tadi. Entah apa ustaz ajar pun tak berapa nak lekat kat kepala.

Sepanjang hari saya rasa mata saya pedih. Kepala saya sakit. Saya cuba cari masa nak tidur. Tapi tak ada. Alhamdulillah... saya berjaya tahan rasa mengantuk saya sampai ke petang. Huhu... nasib baik masa BIO saya tak tersengguk. Kalau tak... hmm...

Homework setakat ni tak la banyak sangat. Tapi saya yang buat dia jadi banyak sebab sikap saya yang suka bertangguh, melengah-lengahkan kerja. Itu yang jadi setinggi gunung Everest tuh. Apa nak jadi Ainnur? Dan musuh utama saya ialah MALAS! Malas nak buat kerja, malas nak pergi sekolah, malas nak ulangkaji pelajaran, malas nak muraja'ah hafazan, malas nak hafaz hafazan baru, semuanya malas. MALAS... MALAS... dan MALAS...

Ahad lepas sekolah saya baru selesai majlis Ihtifal berkonsepkan high-tea. Yang bertujuan untuk merapatkan hubungan di antara ibu bapa sesama ibu bapa dan anak-anak bersama anak-anak. (saya merepek) Yang pada saya ok la walaupun ada beberapa perkara yang saya tak puas hati.

• Minuman meja kami laaaaaaaammmmbat sampai sedangkan meja di sekeliling kami dah dapat air mereka. Kering tekak kami ni tau!
• Makanan. Sangatla simple. Saya masak sendiri pun boleh. But then again, apa sangatla yang boleh kita harap kalau harga yang dibayar untuk makanan cuma RM 10 sahaja.
• Macam manalah pihak penganjur boleh silap nama ummi. Kalau salah eja tu tak pelah. Ini tidak, pepandai je dia tukar nama orang. Daripada M********h jadi Maimunah. Bila masa pulak la nama mak saya tukar?

Cadangan saya, tahun depan tak payahla buat konsep high-tea ni. Yang macam tahun-tahun sebelum ni dah cukup ok.

Pertama kali naik pentas. Gambar yang sempat dirakam ummi dari kejauhan. Dan abaikan nama hamba ALLAH di slide show tu. Sesungguhnya itu bukan nama saya tetapi nama orang di belakang saya kalau tak salah.

love and like

Differences between love and like

In front of the person you love, your heart beats faster. But in front of the person you like, you get happy.

In front of person you love, winter seems like spring. But in front of the person you like, winter is just a beautiful winter.

If you look into the eyes of the one you love, you blush. But if you look into the eyes of the one you like, you smile.

In front of the person you love, you can’t say everything on your mind. In front of the person you like, you can.

In front of the person you love, you tend to get shy. In font of the person you like, you can show you own self.

The person you love comes into you mind every 2 minutes. You can’t look straight into the eyes of the one you love. But you can always smile into the eyes of the one you like.

When the one you love is crying, you cry with them. But when the one you like is crying, you end up comforting.

The feeling of love starts for the eye. And the feeling of like starts for the ear.

p/s : Nak update blog tapi tak tahu nak cerita apa. So... enjoy! Itupun kalau ada readers la...

the daffodil principle

Ummi got this from a friend who forwarded her the message via email and I want to share this with you all too...

The Daffodil Principle (By the unknown origin)

Several times my daughter had telephoned to say, 'Mother, you must come to see the daffodils before they are over.'' I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead . 'I will come next Tuesday', I promised a little reluctantly on her third call.

Next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Still, I had promised, and reluctantly I drove there.

When I finally walked into Carolyn's house, I was welcomed by the joyful sounds of happy children. I delightedly hugged and greeted my grandchildren.

'Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is invisible in these clouds and fog, and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see badly enough to drive another inch!'

My daughter smiled calmly and said, ' We drive in this all the time, Mother.'

'Well, you won't get me back on the road until it clears, and then I'm heading for home!' I assured her.

'But first we're going to see the daffodils. It's just a few blocks,' Carolyn said. 'I'll drive. I'm used to this.'

'Carolyn,' I said sternly, 'Please turn around.'

'It's all right, Mother, I promise. You will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience.'

After about twenty minutes, we turned onto a small gravel road and I saw a small church. On the far side of the church, I saw a hand lettered sign with an arrow that read, 'Daffodil Garden'. We got out of the car, each took a child's hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then, as we turned a corner, I looked up and gasped. Before me lay the most glorious sight.

It looked as though someone had taken a great vat of gold and poured it over the mountain peak and its surrounding slopes. The flowers were planted in majestic, swirling patterns, great ribbons and swaths of deep orange, creamy white, lemon yellow, salmon pink, and saffron and butter yellow. Each different-colored variety was planted in large groups so that it swirled and flowed like its own river with its own unique hue. There were five acres of flowers.

'Who did this?' I asked Carolyn.

'Just one woman,' Carolyn answered. 'She lives on the property. That's her home.' Carolyn pointed to a well-kept A-frame house, small and modestly sitting in the midst of all that glory. We walked up to the house.

On the patio, we saw a poster. 'Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking', was the headline. The first answer was a simple one. ' 50,000 bulbs,' it read. The second answer was, 'One at a time, by one woman. Two hands, two feet, and one brain.'
The third answer was, 'Began in 1958.'

For me, that moment was a life-changing experience. I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, more than forty years before, had begun, one bulb at a time, to bring her vision of beauty and joy to an obscure mountaintop. Planting one bulb at a time, year after year, this unknown woman had forever changed the world in which she lived. One day at a time, she had created something of extraordinary magnificence, beauty, and inspiration. The principle her daffodil garden taught is one of the greatest principles of celebration.

That is, learning to move toward our goals and desires one step at a time--often just one baby-step at a time-- and learning to love the doing, learning to use the accumulation of time. When we multiply tiny pieces of time with small increments of daily effort, we too will find we can accomplish magnificent things. We can change the world …

'It makes me sad in a way,' I admitted to Carolyn. 'What might I have accomplished if I had thought of a wonderful goal thirty-five or forty years ago and had worked away at it 'one bulb at a time' through all those years? Just think what I might have been able to achieve!'

My daughter summed up the message of the day in her usual direct way. 'Start tomorrow,' she said.

She was right. It's so pointless to think of the lost hours of yesterdays. The way to make learning a lesson of celebration instead of a cause for regret is to only ask, 'How can I put this to use today?'

Use the Daffodil Principle. Stop waiting...

Until your car or home is paid off
Until you get a new car or home
Until your kids leave the house
Until you go back to school
Until you finish school
Until you clean the house
Until you organize the garage
Until you clean off your desk
Until you lose 10 lbs.
Until you gain 10 lbs.
Until you get married
Until you get a divorce
Until you have kids
Until the kids go to school
Until you retire
Until summer
Until spring
Until winter
Until fall
Until you die...

There is no better time than right now to be happy. Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So work like you don't need money. Love like you've never been hurt. And dance like no one's watching.

If you want to brighten someone's day, pass this on to someone special. I just did!

Wishing you a beautiful, daffodil day!

Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

sirent

Finally... selepas beberapa ketika ditanguh-tangguh, saya berjaya menyiapkan tag yang disuruh Nadia. Itupun selepas dia menjegjar seperti Along menuntu hutang. Hehe...

So... this is it...

I present to you... SIRENT!!!! (pardon me because of the color combination does not really blend. saya ni seperti kera diberi waterkaler when it comes to color...)

The instruction - here's what you've gotta do:
1. The first title on the page is the name of your band.
2. The last four words on the last quote is the title of your album.
3. The third picture, no matter what it is, is your album cover.
4. Use any graphics program of your choice to throw these three things together and make it into an album cover. POST IT IN YOUR JOURNAL.

So Nadia... here it is.

Who i wanna tag? Hurm...

books to be read

*edited on 10.55*

Books to be read for these three month.

• The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke
• The Sea Beggars Book One - The Mark Of Ran by Paul Kearney
• Portrait In Sepia by Isabel Allende
• Troll Fell by Katherine Langrish
• Troll Mill by Katherine Langrish

Haha... semua tu cerita fantasy, fiction. Maybe except for Portrait In Sepia tu kot. Saya lebih suka nak baca cerita fantasy, fiction yang mungkin lebih sesuai untuk kanak-kanak kalau nak dibandingkan dengan saya yang dah berusia remaja ni dari baca buku-buku tentang philosophy, sejarah dan yang sewaktu dengannya. Mungkin sebab jiwa saya ni masih keanak-anakan lagi kot.

Masa pinjam dari PSZ hari tu, saya langsung tak baca sinopsis pun. Saya main sambar je sebab cover dia cantik. Walaupun orang kata don't judge a book by it's cover, tapi setakat ni pilihan saya tak pernah mengecewakan saya. Semua best!

Due date bulan June. Entah masa tu habis ke tidak. Looking at current situation, ada ke masa nak habiskan semua tu walaupun bukunya tak adalah tebal sangat. Around 200 +- pages je. Eheh... macam kelakar la pulak. Novel CINTA melayu yang sampai 400-500 lebih pages tu boleh habiskan semalam je, kenapa buku cerita English tak boleh?

Sebab saya perlu mengambil masa untuk mencerna setiap patah perkataan. Kemudian nak carik maksud perkataan yang saya tak faham lagi. Satu lagi, baca buku cerita English ni kurang-kurang kena baca dua kali *rolled eyes*. Kali pertama nak dapatkan gambaran cerita. Kali kedua baru nak fahamkan. Dan yang seterusnya untuk pemahaman yang lebih mendalam.

ALASAN!!! Satu suara di dalam hati menjerit. Hehe...

Tapi saya tak tipu. Sekarang ni homework banyak. Entah kenapa eh... bila time cuti homework tak adalah banyak sangat. Tapi bila naik je sekolah... selepuk datang jatuh atas bahu. Waa... Tapi I'm almost done with it. Itupun buat bila rasa nak buat. Tak pe... Buat sikit-sikit lama-lama siaplah. *big grin*

I really need to go to tuitions... especially Chemistry. And maybe Physics. Biology? Bazir duit je. Baca buku is more than enough. Tapi kalau tak faham susah jugak. Add Maths? I don't think so. Asal dah dapat konsep it's not a big deal for me. But we'll see later.

Oh... I need to go to settle my unfinished business. Yang dah berbulan tertangguh nih! And I can't wait to see the outcome.

Esok sekolah. Ohh tidak!!!

p/s : Yaya... i will do ur tag once i got to use the PC. Sorry!

Adios!

bahagia

Bahagia!

Itulah perasaan saya waktu ini. Kenapa? Kerana weekend. Dan weekend = CUTI!!!!

Well... siapa yang tak bahagia bila tiba waktu cuti? Orang yang bekerja di pejabat pun tak sabar nak tunggu waktu cuti. Apatah lagi saya yang bergelar pelajar. Weekend lah hari yang paling saya tunggu2. Waktu inilah saya dapat merehatkan tubuh dan minda setelah 5 hari bertungkus lumus menuntut ilmu. Teringat kata2 Ustaz Rahim yang sentiasa melekat kuat di ingatan.

"Waktu kita betul2 dapat rehat, bersenang lenang ialah apabila kaki kanan melangkah masuk ke dalam syurga."

Kerja rumah banyak yang tertangguh akibat kemalasan yang semakin menjadi-jadi. Adakah itu merupakan tanda protes saya? Entahlah... Saya lebih suka surf internet dari membuat kerja sekolah. Saya lebih suka bazir masa saya, memerah otak saya mencari idea dari menyibukkan diri saya mengulangkaji pelajaran. Apa nak jadi nih?

Seminggu kebelakangan ni, saya tak dapat menggunakan PC kerana telah diconquer sepenuhnya oleh ummi yang sibuk dengan thesis dia. Tak apalah... Saya suka guna PC sebab skrin monitor besar. Ada dua. Boleh bukak 2 window sebelah menyebelah. Best! Lepas tu dia lebih laju kalau nak dibandingkan laptop ni.

Hampir sebulan saya tidak keluar ke mana2 melainkan ke sekolah, pasar malam. Itu sahaja rutin saya. Saya teringin nak keluar. Nak jamu mata. Nak beli buku. Nak pergi Harris. Nak makan chicken chop. Nak makan lasagna. Tapi selagi ummi masih sibuk dengan thesis dia, peluang amatlah tipis. Huwaa!!! Tak apalah... sekali lagi saya pujuk diri walau hati saya meronta-ronta!

butterfly

Butterfly - Melly Goeslow ft. Andhika Pratama

Ketika waktu mendatangkan cinta
Aku putuskan memilih dirimu
Setitik rasa itu menitis
Dan semakin parah

Bisa ku rasa getar jantungmu
Mencintaiku apa lagi aku
Jadikanlah diriku
Pilihan terakhir hatimu

Butterfly terbanglah tinggi
Setinggi anganku untuk meraihmu
Memeluk batinmu yang sama kacau
Karena merindu

Butterfly fly away so high
As high as hopes I pray
To come and reach for you
Rescuing your soul
The precious messed up thoughts of me and you

Jalan ini jauh
Namun kita tempuh
Bagai bumi ini
Hanya milik berdua

Biar ku berlebihan
Mendekatimu
Namun ku tunggu
