Be My Own Boss!

I have been thinking recently about whether to pursue Masters or start my own business. But now, I have made up my mind. I want to start my own business, pursuing my true dream.

Sebab utama yang menyebabkan saya buat pilihan ni adalah saya mahu kepuasan diri tanpa ada tekanan orang atasan. Yelah, kalau ada Masters and PhD pun still jd orang bawahan. Nak jadi bos, mau tunggu dah tua, baru dapat merasa pangkat tinggi since Malaysia sangat mementingkan seniority dalam perkhidmatan, as well as 'kipas mengipas' (realiti kt sekolah, kt jabatan lain xtau la cmne). Lagipun, saya ni memang jenis degil sikit, alamatnya lagi lambat la kot nak naik pangkat, hahaha xD Lagi-lagi kalau kerja dengan GB dan PK-PK yang emo dan xberapa cekap buat kerja dan asyik suruh orang lain buat kerja dia.

I know my current profession is a very noble one: building a future generation. But the thing is, I am no longer have that much passion to stay and do the same thing for another 30 years. Plus, with the political influence interference in our education system (oh, plus the school politic also!), I rather step down; do the thing I most passionate about and have a hell of good times with my family with freedom. No more I have to think about calling in for MC, CRK etc if I can't come in. No more feeling guilty for thinking of the effects of my absence to school (e.g. jaga seorang anak yang sakit, or tak mengajar 70 - 90 pupils). Earn more money too! ;p

However, this will only be a reality after I have completed my contract. 3 more exciting years.

The Ice Cream Tragedy

School holiday is always wanted by teachers more than students, I guess, for I am a teacher and I do enjoy school holidays more than my students do. Cuti akhir tahun ni yang paling best sebab cuti yang paling panjang sampai kadang-kadang sampai bosan rasa rindu pula pada sekolah.

Oleh sebab terlalu bosan, mulalah minat terhadap pencuci mulut, desserts menguasai diri. So I browsed the net, watched various Youtube videos, and recently I had the itch to make my own ice cream (since I have the machine but never been used). Maka saya pun mencari resepi dan cara-cara nak buat aiskrim di Youtube, until I came across a video.

Nak jadi cerita, sebab punyalah semangat nak buat aiskrim, lepas tgok video tu saya cepat-cepat ke dapur and gather all the ingredients needed. When I have done the first step which is making the custard based, my sis complaint that it was very very sweet. I confidently told her that when it becomes ice-cream, the sweetness will go away. She was convinced, and she watched the video that I watched. Guess what, I had made a very silly mistake-I heard the man wrongly: he said 3/4 cup of sugar, I heard 3 cups of sugar!!

To make the ice-cream less sweet, I decided to make a double batch of ice-cream, without sugar and mix with the earlier, sweet batch. Alhamdulillah, the batches came together nicely.

And now, I have 3 batches of ice-cream of different flavours, to gulped down. Anyone care to join me?

Moral of the story: Listen carefully, research more before you do something!

Mohd Raihan

He is one year old now. ONE YEAR OLD!! Amazing how having a child makes it easier for me to go through a year, without realizing we have managed to go through 12 months.

Raihan, my darling baby boy is really active now. He eats a lot too ( and then he will suffer from constipation). Amazing little boy, he is. Dah pandai sebut bird, bes ( as in habis) and nak. Palaing best bila dia sebut nak. Pantang nampak orang pegang makanan atau cawan, mesti dia pegi kt org tu smpail ckp 'Nak! Nak!'. Comel sungguh.

Now I have to think how to mould his behaviour sbb kdg2, he can be violent! He bites and pinch people! Harap2 perangai ni x berterusan...

Oh, now I am also have started thinking of having a baby girl..Haha ;p

Wedding Nerves

When people ask me, are you nervous now that you are getting married? I always answer no, as I have been waiting for far too long.

But now that the wedding is more or less four more weeks to go, I am actually NERVOUS!
I even get jumpy when I am not doing anything.
I even get jumpier when I actually do something.

Gosh, why am I nervous????

More of Maria

The little cute black kitten has grown up into fat, beautiful, gorgeous, clingy cat.
She is so clingy that she will not leave my mum's side.
My mum brings her every where, balik kampung, pegi kedai, isi minyak kereta etc.
Guess now my mum has a new little baby to take care of...

Because of You

Because of you,
I am sleep deprived,
And now I have a pair of panda eyes .

Because of you,
I have to leave my soap dramas,
And now I am less entertained .

Because of you,
I have to abandon my hobbies,
And now I am not an avid reader .

Because of you,
I am sometimes depressed,
And now I bake a lot .

Because of you,
I have to be best friend with the library,
And now my room is full of books .

Because of you,
I have to spend endless hours in front of my laptop,
And I get headache now and then.

Because of you,
My dissy,
I will forgo my needs,
Just for you,
So that in 2010,
I will have my Honours degree,
For you,
I will.

Haiyoo... amende alah la tag-tag ni.. I thought of clothing tag when I first heard of this tagging thing. How technology has enriched the meaning of normal words. Nak share ape pun tak tau..nothing is interesting about me, I guess.
Anyway, here are 7 facts about this girl named Nurul Syafwah binti Raduan, borned 5th March 1986.

1. I may look 'tough' from the outside, but inside, I am very sensitive. Senang sangat nak nangis kalau sedih. When I knew my beloved youngest brother got cancer, I cried the whole time, resulting in a week of high fever. And this sensitive heart of mine can be hurt easily. My best mates know this fact very well..hehehe ;p It hurts easily, but it mends quite easily too. All I need from the person who don't mean to hurt me is a simple apology, and it is over, and I can smile again. *peace* :)

2. I just love baking and cooking. I started baking when I was still small, because my mom said I was always playing in the kitchen. Having a weeping and problematic brother who cried at all times and took my toys, making me always playing alone in the kitchen. Poor little sister. My mom said, pernah satu hari, diorang risau I diam je, tak tau kat mana, rupa-rupanya doh tumbuk ikan bilis dalam lesung batu. I was one year ++ at that time. And I still remember till today, I was baking cookies (I was 12) when my now-soon-to-be-mother-in-law walked in the kitchen and said: Wah, rajin si Nurul ni! Boleh buat menantu, utk si Eddy (my fiance's elder brother). And same with Hani, I will resort to these activities whenever I am feeling down and tensed up, I will go to the kitchen and make something edible from my kitchen cabinets and fridge. The best part is, I don't eat what I have cooked, instead, I give to my friends. Strange as it is, I like to eat shop-bought cakes although I know how to bake them. But hey dear friends, this is a fact that is not to be manipulated! (eg. make Syafwah emo, and she will cook or bake something for us!)

3. Riding bicycle is a HUGE trauma for me. This happened in the year 2005 or 2006 when all of B.Ed TESL students in IPBA went for a field trip to Putrajaya. Kan most of us naik beskal tu, and unlucky me, lost control of my bike when going down a hill...and....bump!!! Bump into a huge bricked lamp post and thrown out from the bike into the bushes. OUCH!! Sakit tau..dah la jatuh sorang2. . Bruised all over my right shoulder and hip, scratches and sprained on my legs. Naseb tak lama lepas tu ade abg-abg yg jage tempat tu ronda naek motosikal, so they help me. I got a week m/c for this as I can't walk properly. Cycling? Never again, except yang ada roda 4, ehehehe xD (So Warid and Hazriq, don't mention of cycling to IPBA from Kerinchi, ok?)

4. I always get hurt in friendship. Over the years, I always end up with people who don't apprieciate me, people who always take me for granted, people who can't accept me as I am and back-stabbed me. I ni bukanlah kawan yang perfect, but I can truthfully say that I always try my best to help and make them happy because I love my friends. But to those people, ape yang I buat mesti tak kena. I have done so much for them, but all I got in return is hurt (time tulis ni pun rasa sedey)... That is why most of the times, I prefer pets that human beings (oh and until now, I have dreams and nightmares of my hamsters!). To those people yang buat I macam ni and read this, sorry to say, from now on, you bear no significant in my life, not for now, and not for ever, until time heals this wound.

5. Okay, honestly, I have no idea on what to say about me. Erm..I am quite straight-forward, a fact that can't be changed. I am sorry to those I have hurt without intention. Tapi kalau dah biasa, tak de la bisa sangat, hehehe...ade je org yg lagi straight-forward from me. But, again, sorry if I ever hurt your feelings.

6. I have been in love with the same man for almost 10 years now. More details? Later.

7. The fact: I am engaged. Soon to be married with the same man end of this year, Insya Allah.

Well, those are some facts about me. More are indescribable.
I don't have any idea who to tag. I tag only two for the time being. The lucky people are:

1. Nadeera
2. Gunalan

That is all for now. Got to re-write the revised Chapter 1. Good luck to me, and you too. xx

A Tribute to Cats

I love animals, especially furry ones. When my parents and I went to Roadwalk in Penang, I fell in love with a pair of rabbits, but my parents won't hear me! I left Penang that day with a broken heart..

Actually I wanted to be a vet. Tapi abang cakap something yang buat hati ni terus tak lalu nak jadi vet. Dia cakap: Buat pe jadi vet, bukannya membantu pembangunan negara! There you go..and I am a few years to become a teacher, building a nation that hopefully will build the country.

Cats and I are quite identical. The prove is, somebody even said my eyes are like cat eyes! Anyway, here are some pictures of cats that I have met and touched.

Ni Bella, seekor kucing kacukan Parsi & kampung. Kucing kawan ibu. Gemuk. Gues what he is eating in this picture. Durian!! Yes, durian! Kita selalu dengar cerita kucing makan durian, and now it really happens in front of my eyes. Syok betul dia makan durian tu...sampai dua ulas! Me myself don't really eat durian, this cat beats me!

Ni pulak Boy, anak kucing yang umurnya tak sampai sebulan. I was busy cupcaking as it was only two more days until kenduri tahlil and my engagement reception. Having a pair of leech ears (telinga lintah), I heard this poor cat meowing. At first, mcm malas nak ambik kisah, but then I know I won't be able to sleep until I found this kitten. So berbekalkan sebilah pisau lipat, I pun keluar rumah walaupun berseorangan dan jam dah menunjukkan pukul 2.30 pagi. Lepas 5 minit jalan, baru nampak dia kat tepi jalan. Cepat-cepat I pegi kat dia, tapi dia garang sangat! Tak bagi pegang dier. Jadi I pun guna pisau (nak elak dier cakar and gigit tangan) tu utk gosok leher dier and he calmed down. Now, he is healthy and happy living with my mom. Dulu tak mau minum susu, sekarang dah pandai minta susu. He likes to play with tudung saji and chasing people's walking legs. I miss him.

She is Kitty. My cousin's cat. Although she is very gorgeous, I don't like her. She is very sombong. She scratched my hands. She is not friendly at all. I just hope she will change one day.

This is a well-known cat to all Marjonians: Beethovan. I like him. Pengubat rindu kat kucing-kucing Malaysia. Fat and monopolizing. Loves to chase his own tail and an attention seeker. He doesn't like it when you are doing your work, leaving him alone. He loves being with us instead of with his rightfully owner. Poor his owner. I will definately be thinking of him when I am back in Malaysia.

People sometimes question animal lovers, why they can give so much love and affection to animals compared to humans. Well..sorry to say, sometimes, and most of the times, cats are so much better friends than humans.

Leicestershire

In this piece of writing, I will write something different, I will write about my trip and visit to a dear friend of mine. My good buddies sent me off, they almost brought me to tears (special appreciation to Mohd Azizi bin Abd Aziz for his efforts to make me cry!). Thank you ever so much for everything , my darlings. You guys have made me very happy for the past 2 weeks, which were the happiest weeks ever! I will miss all of you!

The journey was teribbly boring. I almost died of boredome. Thank God I had someone to crack and share silly jokes with (virtually, of course!) After a journey of almost five hours, I arrived at Leicester. With a gigantic bag and a cute but heavy suitcase, it was an absolutely amazing journey. Alhamdulillah there were some guys helped me with the almost impossible task of dragging the bags in and out of the trains.

Sarah, my housemate, also my best ever friend picked me up at the train station. The first view of Leicester was...Masha Allah! There are Muslims every where. Almost all the Muslimahs wear niqabs. I am impressed! Even in Malaysia it is not like this. Our Malaysian girls are getting sexier and sexier (as far as I am concern). And there are also people walking with al-Qur'an and tasbih in thier hands. I will put some pictures later as I always forgot to take some (too mesmerized of everything that going on around me).

Her mum is a fantastic chef. The first day, I ate some capati with curry, real Indian curry. It was delicious! Better than Fahad's! And yesterday, after long, long months of not eating beef, I ate beef curry with some Indian rice, it was fabulous! I had two helpings (OMG)! Guess I will make myself fat before I am going back to Malaysia! And her family members are really friendly, I feel so much at home that I don't like the idea of going out!

As my bags were so goodnessly heavy, I had to post half of them away...there goes my £££ again! Remember folks, next time, pack really carefully before you travel, don't be like me! I am just clumsy and lazy and short-minded when it comes to packing stuffs for travelling. Usually, Sarah packs for me. Here, in her room, she was the one who unpacked and packed for me. I just love her for this, hehehe.. Then later at night, we went to one of her aunties' home to say goodbye as they are leaving to Tanzania for summer holiday. Her aunty is so cool , friendly and sporting. I really like her, aunty Debbs. Her daughters are really pretty; mixed genes I guess."Tell me when you have kids, and then you can tell me how you regret being married!" (I have edited her actual words here) she said, jokingly when she learned that I am getting married soon, insya Allah. I will definately visit her again one day!

Today, I went out to the town to do some shopping, and I bought lots of stuffs! I bought:

• a pair sunglasses
• a white flowy, linen skirt
• 3 kaftan tops
• 3 shirts
• small, cute toileteries for my one day stop at Colombo

I feel broken now (money wise) but happy as I have not shopped for ages! Well, I have restrained myself from shopping after I bought a new laptop, and now, I just can't be bothered! Shopping is indeed a good therapy, till you found out how broke you are!

Anyway, I still have 5 more days to go back to Malaysia. My journey will start on the 7th of July, but I will have to transit at Sri Lanka for a day (8th July)- Sri Lanka tourism purposes; and catch the next flight to KL the next day. Hopefully, everything will be fine and I will arrive at Malaysia safely, Insya Allah, amiin..Do pray for my safety, yea!

Till then, see you again next time. Xx

The State of Me

I hate it when confusion attacks me. I have been in this state for a while now, which has caused me to abandon my blog writing. I can't stop thinking about things. I can't stop questioning myself. And worse, I don't like to be with some people who I believe affect my confusion state, although they are innocent.

In next few weeks, I will be lonely. My close friends are going away. And I am going away too, to face my real issues back in Malaysia. These few months have been a very indescribable moments. Through all of the moments, I have gone through them alone, with Lord Almighty by my side. There were friends, but not the ones who I can cry on their shoulders. Maybe this is my fault, I don't know, but I have tried my best to be a good friend to them, insya Allah. But anyway, Alhamdullillah, thank you ever so much Allah for giving me strength and guiding me through it all. Without You, I won't be able to make through the journey. Indeed, my journey is still a long way to go.

People say life gets harder. It is undeniably true. My life has never been easier as days pass me by. I am scared of what future holds for me. But I am very thankful to Him as my life is still at a very good condition compared to those Allah wants to test.

In conclusion, I am confused and I am lonely. Life has its ups and downs. Now I am at my downside. I don't know what to do with myself. Dear God, please lift me up. I am tired of shredding tears. And please my kind, blessed readers, pray for the betterment of my state . . .

Jzkk to all!

Universal Language

Assalamua'alaikum wbt....

Heheh...maafla kepada yang menunggu update terbaru saya. It is just that I take a very long time to think about an issue before finally I get to the writing process. Ni pun bersemangat sebab ada seoang pembaca setia bertanya bila saya akan mengupdate blog saya ni yang saya kira dah dekat sebulan juga tak 'berusik'.

Sepanjang 3 minggu saya berkelana ke 4 negara, inilah yang saya selalu fikikan: Universal Language/Bahasa Universal. Italians don't really speak English, so do Portuguese and Spanish people. Only 'Switzelanders' speak quite good English.

Perjalanan di negara-negara yang tidak menggunakan bahasa Inggeris memang agak mencabar. Talian info pun dalam bahasa mereka (di Sepanyol). Nak order makanan pun susah. Sudahnya, siap dengan aksi-aksi dan bahasa isyarat. Apabila difikirkan kembali, lucu juga. Tapi yang penting, even we have a language barrier, all of the messages were conveyed successfully.

Sebelum ni saya fikir kalau dah masuk line 'menyampaikan' ni, bahasa perlu mantap. Kebanyakan rakan saya yang masuk line 'menyampaikan', penggunaan bahasa Melayu merak berubah menjadi sangat mantap. Saya pun rasa tertinggal sebab bahasa Melayu saya tak sehebat mereka. Berbunga-bunga. Maybe it is just me yang tak begitu minat bahasa sebegitu. Anyway, saya pun terfikir, di negara-negara sebegini, kalau nak menyampaikan Islam bukanlah dalam bahasa Melayu atau Inggeris atau Arab yang mantap, melainkan bahasa mereka sendiri. Here comes the major role of the Universal Language: our actions. Actions here means our attitude as Muslims.

Dari mata, turun ke hati. We cannot be part-time Muslims, tang tu kita ikut Islam, tang ni kita ikut suka kita. Nak solat cari telekung/pakaian/jaket longgar, dah siap solat, kembali semula dengan pakaian melekap. Hal sebegini yang buat orang keliru tentang ajaran Islam. Kita perlu sentiasa mengamalkan ajaran Islam 100% dan berakhlak mulia so that we can portray the beauty and the truth about Islam. Kalau ada yang tertarik, Insya Allah dengan hidayah yang Allah swt berikan, dia akan cari tentang Islam dalam bahasa yang dia faham. We also have to be very proud, izzah with our 'Islamity' (hihi..pandai-pandai je cipta perkataan!). Tak payah segan jika perlu solat, tak kira di taman atau di shopping complex. Apa yang penting, kita buat semuanya kerana Allah swt.

My conclusion is, we cannot rely solely on languages themselves. Bahasa Melayu/Inggeris/Arab yang mantap belum menjamin the spread of Islam to the other parts of the world that don't use the languages that we master. Our actions speak louder than any languages. Jangan segan mengamalkan Islam walau di mana jua kita berada. Di mana langit dipijak, di situ perintah Allah swt dijunjung. Bak slogan Nike: JUST DO IT.


P/S: I have to take Arabic language course!

A.w.a.y.

Assalamu'alaikum...

Just nk inform yg saya akan 'berkelana' hingga 27hb Januari ini. Doakan agar saya sentiasa dilindungi Allah swt setiap masa ya. I am very nervous as I never has been away this long! May He make all things easier for all of us, and hopefully this travel is a beneficial to me, ameen.

Resipi Hari Ini

Assalamu'alaikum...

Dalam penulisan kali ini, saya nak share satu ilmu yang berguna, iaitu resipi yang sangat mudah, tapi amat lazat lagi menyelerakan (macam iklan adabi pulak, ;p). Saya memang suka memasak, jadi rasa seronok kalau dapat share ilmu ni dengan siapa-siapa yang sudi.

I was so hungry and this vision of a nice, hot and creamy mushroom soup kept flashing in my mind. Tapi tak pandai buat, jadi google kan la... Memang ape yang akan di share ni adalah dari internet, tapi it is proven fool-proof by by. Saya sertakan resipi nya di sini. Tak ade lah tiru resipi tu exactly, I have altered some.


Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Soup

Bahan-bahan:
3 ulas bawang putih - cincang/chopped finely
Sebiji bawang besar - cincang juga
1/4 cawan butter
2 sudu besar minyak zaitun - optional
5 - 7 biji cendawan - apa-apa jenis & lebih pun xpe, I just use the cheap, normal white mushroom, potong kiub
3 - 5 sudu besar tepung gandum
2 kiub pati ayam
1 cawan susu - boleh juga campur 1/2 cwn susu + 1/2 cwn cream

Cara-cara membuat

1. Panaskan periuk. Kemudian, masukkan butter dan kacau sampai cair.
   
2. Bila butter dah cair dan panas, tumis bawang putih, bawang besar dan cendawan selama 5 minit. Kecilkan api, tutup periuk dan biarkan 3 - 5 minit.
3. Masukkan tepung dan kacau. Tekstur campuran bahan-bahan tumis dan tepung mesti pekat, tambah tepung jika perlu.
4. Masukkan kiub ayam. Kacau dan pastikan kiub hancur/larut. Tutup periuk dan biar lagi untuk beberapa minit (jangan sampai hangus pula)
5. Tambah lebih kurang 1 liter air. Kacau sampai sebati. Biarkan masak (jadi pekat & mula mendidih) atas api kecil.
6. Apabila sup dah nak mendidih, masukkan susu dan kacau sebati. Tambah lada hitam jika suka. Garam rasanya tak payah sebab kiub ayam & butter dah bagi rasa masin.
   
7. Tutup periuk, biarkan 5 minit, dan tutup api.
8. Boleh la ambil mangkuk, sudu dan senduk, dan mula menjamu selera!Makan dengan garlic bread pun ok jugak.
   

(Boleh jamu 3-5 orang, sebab resipi ni untuk satu periuk sederhana.Tapi boleh je kalau nak makan sorang-sorang, keep the leftover in the freezer, not fridge and panaskan bila nak makan - a great meal to share time usrah)

Haa...boleh la cuba. Memasak ni seronok, dan kita tak boleh rely 100% on recipes (sebab resipi pun ditulis atas anggaran, tak tepat 100% - no pure maths in most of cooking). For me, bila masak tu, follow and trust your instinct and tongue. Insya Allah kalau cuba & buat dengan penuh kasih sayang, sup ni akan sedap.

Lepas ni, tak payah dah beli sup cendawan dalam tin, jimat duit. Bolehlah sparekan duit nak beli sup dalam tin atau sup segera untuk diinfakkan, hihi ;p

Once in a while, I want to blabber . . .

Assalamu'alaikum . . . Hahaha...lama betul 'cuti' menulis! Nak kata busy, tak pulak, tapi tak de ilham la..maafla ye. Tapi jangan risau, I'm still fine and okay, alhamdulillah, kering idea je... Meh nak share something about myself. Sejak dari kecik, I think I'm quite a pathetic girl. Kurus, macam tak cukup kasih sayang dan nutrisi. And I can't remember any joyous and happy memoirs from my childhood. Tapi tak kisahla kan, sbb para rasul dulu pun, zaman kanak-kanak mereka jauh panggang dari api kalau dibandingkan dengan zaman kanak-kanak sekarang. Gameboy, xBox, PS2, PS3, anime, etc etc etc. The only memory that I still remember till now is my bittersweet memories of my cats and hamsters (yes, I'm a pathetic animal lover! Can't help it!)

(Miss you guys dearly; Strawberry, Hensem & Pondan)

(May you find happiness with your new mom and life partner Greyboo)

Talking about my boundless love for animal... Actually, I really wanted to be a vet, but my brother had 'killed' the dream by saying: Buat pe jadi vet, bukannya membantu pembangunan negara! So now, here I am, studying to be a teacher with a high hope that in future, I may build the better nation. I love animals so much that I cry whenever I see they are cruelly treated. I cry every time my cats or hamsters crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Till one day...a person made a 'shocking' statement about me: that I love and care for animals are greater than my love and care towards human beings. Gosh!! Astagfirullah hal'azim...
However, she brought up some good issues by making that statement.

First, don't judge a book by its cover. We, human, should never judge other people. Look Al-Hujurat, verse 12. No one should judge, except for Him alone.People that we judge may be way better than us.

Second, setiap orang berbeza. Every one is different, even identical twins! Maka, cara setiap orang menunjukkan rasa kasih sayang dan prihatin adalah berbeza. Sesetengah orang menunjukkan rasa sayang dengan sentuhan, dan ada juga dengan kata-kata atau bebelan. You may not like the way he/she carries herself, but then..look up in the al Qur'an (sorry tak ingat surah & ayat apa), and you'll find that Allah swt has clearly stated that we are different from each other so that some of us are the challenge for some of us to face. Accept and live with it with an open heart. Selagi kita tak boleh terima orang lain dengan dada yang lapang , then something is wrong with our heart & iman = need biopsy!

Third, bagi pencinta haiwan, cara mereka menunjukkan rasa sayang terhadap haiwan dan manusia amatlah berbeza. Sayang pada haiwan adalah atas dasar simpati, dan sayang pada manusia lahir dari rasa kasih yang sejati lahir daripada hati. It's kind of hard to explain, but animal lovers out there, you do understand this, don't you? Some people question, why we don't always treat humans like we treat our beloved pets. Well, in a way, beloved pets are more 'comforting' and 'soothing' than most human beings. Hehe..I'm not biased! I love all you people & animals out there equally! Knowing and seeing people are treated cruelly and unjustly hurts as much as knowing and seeing animals & environment treated in such ways. Enough of blabbering. So, basically, I am a pathetic animal, nature & human lover. And I show my love and care towards these three magnificent creation of Allah swt in three distinct ways. You really can't compare and contrast them, as it is not fair for me!

Anyway, saya sayang anda semua, fillah (really, even if I don't know you =D )

(Musang my hero...hope you are still there when I go back home!)
