..Family..

Posted by : AfiqahAR | 28 December 2009 | Published in

tahun 1989.
cukup lengkap keluarga aku 7 beranak (mak, abah, along, bangah, bangdik, akak dan aku). not including my abi.
masa tu kami tinggal di kuantan.
aku tak ingat apa-apa lagi kenangan di kuantan sebab time tu aku masih botak, belum boleh bercakap dan tidak pandai berjalan.
but some of the moments my mak and siblings cerita yang baru aku tahu.

tahun 1994.
ketika tu, aku masih di tadika.
tadika yang sama dengan akak. tadika perpaduan.
mak dan abah ada beli rumah di taman kota permai, area bukit minyak kot. i'm not sure.
rumah teres setingkat, agak besar dan selesa. cuma ada sarang ular senduk dan agak "keras" sedikit.
jiran-jiran kami terdiri daripada cina, india dan melayu.
aku masih ingat jiran yang paling kami rapat adalah auntie puspa, kawan baik mak.
setiap deepavali, mesti pergi rumah beliau.
dan benda paling aku tak boleh lupa adalah anak kepada jiran melayu aku.
aku tak pernah tahu nama dia. sebab aku benci dia.
dah menjadi kebiasaan, aku dan akak main basikal depan rumah petang-petang.
anak kepada jiran aku ni juga menjadi kebiasaan dia untuk main basikal pada waktu kami main basikal.
tapi sibuk nak main dekat-dekat dengan rumah kami.
tahu lah dia ada knee guard, siku guard, helmet bagai. benci aku tengok dia.
kadang-kadang kalau dia tak main basikal pun, dia mandi kolam yang boleh tiup-tiup tu dengan bisingnya. benci. sampai sekarang. haha.

tahun 1997.
abah dinaikkan pangkat dan di-transferkan ke kota kinabalu, sabah.
kami tinggal di rumah teres dua tingkat kat taman asli.
rumah mewah. sebab mara bagi elaun. haha.
time ni aku darjah dua. aku sekolah di sekolah kebangsaan sri gaya. of course, dengan akak.
bangdik dan bangah masa ni dah masuk tingkatan 1 dan bersekolah di maktab sabah. tapi masa darjah 5 dan 6, diorang sekolah yang sama dengan kami juga, iaitu sk sri gaya.
time ni paling aku suka. time ni lah nak merasa dapat nombor 1 secara berturut-turut. kalau boleh masuk laci doraemon, time ni lah yang akan aku pilih. haha.
tapi aku tahu, keseronokan dapat nombor 1 berturut-turut dalam kelas tak dapat menang dengan kesedihan mak dan abah bercerai dengan hadirnya orang ketiga.
time ni aku memang tak rasa sangat kesedihan tu sebab aku masih darjah dua.
hanya mak dan along saja yang rasa.
kerana mulianya hati mak, mak bawa kami berlima tinggal bersamanya ke rumah tok di pulau pinang.
time tu kami susah sangat. rumah takda. kereta lagi lah. mak pergi kerja dengan bas.
bila cuti-cuti, mak sewa kereta dan bawa kami keluar berjalan-jalan sebab kesiankan anak-anak beliau yang menghabiskan cuti-cuti duduk di rumah.
DI SINILAH PENTINGNYA LESEN MEMANDU YA KAWAN-KAWAN!!
bila dah ada duit sikit, mak sewa rumah dalam taman yang sama dengan tok. dan mak beli kereta kancil.
bermula dari sinilah, along, bangah dan bangdik mula masuk asrama.
along masuk mrsm langkawi, dan bangah bangdik masuk sekolah teknik langkawi.
tak hairanlah, aku dan akak sangat rapat.
kebanyakan masa kami tinggal berdua kerana mak kerja dari pagi hingga lewat petang.

tahun 2003.
mak beli rumah di kulim. sebab sewa rumah lama sangat mahal.
mak kata rumah kat kulim murah-murah.
jadi, kami anak-beranak terpaksa pindah rumah. juga pindah sekolah.
kami tak pernah bersekolah di sekolah yang sama lebih daripada 3 tahun.
kami sering berpindah. sebab tu kami takda kawan-kawan rapat dari zaman sekolah dulu.
kalau ada pun, semua dah lupa yang kami pernah bersekolah di sekolah tu. abaikan.

..Karnival Iktiraf..

Posted by : AfiqahAR | 20 December 2009 | Published in

on 16th December 2009, aku dan Zura pergi berdaftar untuk menjadi sukarelawan di Karnival Iktiraf anjuran UiTM Shah Alam dan FELDA.
karnival ni khas untuk warga FELDA. dan of course, semua ucapan, semua nak puji warga FELDA saja. warga UiTM?! hampeh!

on the 1st day actually dah rasa menyesal dan nak balik.
aku tahu Zura pun rasa macam tu. haha.
normal for people like us yang tak pernah join aktiviti-aktiviti sukarela ni.
kalau ada pun, aktiviti-aktiviti TIDAK sukarela. hihi.
dalam hati tertanya-tanya, siapa lah yang nak jadi sukarela buat kerja-kerja bagai. entah-entah kitorang dua saja yang semangat.
tapi kitorang silap. ramai gila yang semangat berkobar-kobar nak jadi sukarela. around 200 people tak silap aku. fuhhh! (tapi budak MassComm boleh dikira dengan jari. well.. *keningkening*)

1st day sampai, kitorang tidur di Kolej Anggerik.
sangat best ok kolej ini! bilik besar. bilik air juga besar. cuma tilam saja keras sikit.
so agak tak nyenyak aku tidur malam tu.
Zura pun ada dengar "suara" aku panggil nama dia tengah-tengah malam. tapi hakikatnya, aku tak panggil dia pun.
biasalah kena kacau di tempat baru.

2nd day kena berpindah ke Mawar.
dari Anggerik, JALAN KAKI ke Mawar. memang kami banyak berjalan di sana. since kami takda transport. kesian bukan? takpa lah. pengalaman semua tu.
kat Mawar, kami dapat bilik paling hujung dan paling dekat dengan dewan makan. itu penting. haha.

kitorang ditugaskan under Biro Tahlil (dengan gaya berdoa Nabila- hanya Faiz saja reti buat. haha) dan Astro Awani.
asalnya aku dapat Biro Keselamatan dan Zura pula takda nama dalam senarai biro-biro.
so, bila refer pada urusetia, diorang letakkan Zura under Biro Tahlil (random).
aku minta supaya Zura dimasukkan under Biro Keselamatan, tapi kakak tu kata tak boleh sebab Biro Keselamatan perempuan dah banyak. diorang cari sukarelawan lelaki.
dengan "sukarela"nya, aku minta supaya digugurkan daripada Biro Keselamatan dan masuklah Biro Tahlil bersama-sama Zura.

aktiviti-aktiviti yang kitorang buat taklah banyak sangat berbanding dengan biro-biro yang lain.
antara aktiviti-aktiviti yang Biro Tahlil buat adalah seperti pasang tag-tag peserta dan urusetia, menghadiri konvensyen bersama-sama warga FELDA, mengedarkan Yassin pada peserta-peserta, mengawasi jemaah-jemaah ketika solat berjemaah, gulung-gulung dan angkat-angkat tikar, lipat sejadah, edarkan roti-roti dan air-air kotak dan sebagainya.

and another best moment that I had time menjadi sukarelawan tu is aku dapat ramai kawan baru. yang pentingnya, kawan dari faculty lain.
ya lah. sejak keluar dari Lendu, kawan-kawan adalah among budak-budak faculty sendiri saja.
among people that I know daripada Karnival Iktiraf itu adalah Alya dan Nabila (our 1st day's roommates), Salwa, Lin, Biah, Myza, Syu, Kak Najwa, Mashi, Toha, Yati, Nieza, Gg, Daus, Asyraf dan lain-lain (sorry kalau tak sebut nama. bukan tak ingat, tapi tak sempat berkenalan dengan korang. huhu).


Pikalicious said: half of me want to join OM5, but half of me just tak sanggup since aku tak puas lagi menikmati cuti. haha. kepada korang, ada jodoh, kita jumpa lagi ye? x)

..Lately, aku mula menyukai buah..

Posted by : AfiqahAR | 07 December 2009 | Published in

dua buah yang menarik perhatian aku sejak kebelakangan ni adalah: Apple dan Berry.

bukan sebab aku diet.
bukan sebab aku mengamalkan pemakanan sihat.
bukan sebab aku ada masalah lawas.
bukan sebab aku dah takda duit nak beli makanan ruji.
bukan sebab semua di atas.

sebabnya.. sebabnya..

Apple sangat semat-dowh dia punya design! lagilagi yang kaler pink. peh! tak tidur malam aku fikir buah ni.
Berry pula akan menampakkan aku macam orang kaya dan boleh aku tweet menggunakan TwitterBerry apabila dalam kelas ataupun di mana saja.


Pikalicious said: kalau korang kawan aku, sila belikan aku untuk birthday aku yang ke-21 pada 20hb April 2010. terima kasih.

..13 going 30..

Posted by : AfiqahAR | 04 December 2009 | Published in

firstly, I'm going to post this in English as it's been quite a long time I don't post in English.
secondly, I'm not going to post about the film as people already knew about the plot and the romantic-ness of the story. *winkwink*

the film reminds me of my past.
where I made "mistakes", but I know, nothing in this world will able to change that.

back in year 2001.
when I was young.
when I was 12.
when I was in Form 1.
when I studied at High School Bukit Mertajam.
when I was in the same class with him.

at first I thought he was Muslim.
when our class teacher asked to introduce ourselves, he told us that his name was Shaun P.
i was a little bit frustrated (because I started to fall for him on the first sight).
his first introduction had made me laugh.
he's a funny guy. I like funny guys since I'm not.

in class, he sat far from my seat (3 rows gap I think).
I sat at the front beside the class door.
it was easy to watch him entered and went out class. lol.

I am a good peep-er. seriously, I am really good at it.
he would never know that I crushed on him.

at one time, he sat at the last back row.
it was really hard to peek on him.
but I had a good Chinese friend, sat right behind me.
so, you guys know what I did to keep looking at him. lol.

at one time, he sat right behind me (at my best buddie's place).
I experienced goosebumps, butterflies in my stomach.
I could not sit properly.
guess what I felt that time?
over-EXCITED and over-ANNOYED.
why? let me tell you one secret.

when I fall for someone, I don't like him to be around or near me.
but I craved to look at him from far.
and if I'm really comfortable with one guy, I don't have any heart feeling on him.
it's just a friendship.
when I fall for someone, I hardly stare into his eyes when talk to him.
or worst, I will never talk to him or approach him.
I will wait forever until he approach me first.

.... and that was the "mistake" I made when I was in Form 2.

back in year 2002.
when I was young.
when I was 13.
when I was in Form 2.
when I studied at High School Bukit Mertajam.
when I was not in the same class with him.

he was in the second class.
he was good in school. I like intelligent guys since I'm not.
I was in the third class.
our classes were next to each other.
unfortunately, we never combined class since the second class combined with the first and the third combined with the fourth.

when we were in Form 2, I noticed he started to realize my existence.
sometimes, his friends would make fun on him when I passed by.
sometimes, he stared at me when I ate at the canteen.
sometimes, he looked at the surau on Friday when Muslim guys went to mosque to do the prayer.
sometimes, he passed by my class and looked in.
sometimes, he looked at me before went into the school van when school finished.

.... but I will never forget the two best two days that had happened in my life.

Day 1st:
the bell rang.
everybody rushed out of class.
I was a little bit slow since I had a tie-the string-first-then-join-the-clip bag (I tried Google it but fail).
when I finished pack up, I went out and walked along the corridor when suddenly I saw him.
I saw him, standing at the end of the corridor, right besides the stairs (my class was in the 3rd floor).
as I wrote earlier, I pretended not to see him and started to walk down the stairs.
unexpectedly, he followed me walked down the stairs.
once again, I felt over-EXCITED and over-ANNOYED.
I slowed down my pace, he slowed down.
I fastened my pace, he fastened.
and lastly, I walked down as fast as I could and he gave up.
I succeeded to pass him. congratulate me for that.
and we had not talk along walking down the stairs.
double congratulate me.

Day 2nd (the next day):
the bell rang.
everybody rushed out of class.
I was a little bit slow since I had a tie-the string-first-then-join-the-clip bag (I tried Google it but fail).
I noticed someone passed my class.
I glanced outside.
it was him.
he went to the left side of the corridor (from my class view).
after finished pack up, I went to the right side of the corridor.
once again, as I wrote earlier, I love to watch him from far.
when I reached the stairs, I glanced back to check whether he was there, on the other side of corridor, or not.
he was. and he was walking toward me (or precisely, toward my side).
as I saw him, I started to walk away. fast. like I did yesterday.
yes. triple congratulate me.

the moral of the story is when you have the chance to do what you intended, just do.
because, we will never turn back time.
when we are 20, we will never going 13.


Pikalicious said: there is someone I crush right now. there is someone that replaces Shaun P. the feelings are same with the feelings towards Shaun P. and I still do the "mistakes". because I never think I am pretty. I think I am hideous. people do not like hideous thing. and to him, please change my principle. thanks. x)
