hi guys....

sorryle lama tak tulih dlm blog ni....biasalah bz. well , today dah ari yg ke 20 umur natrah.so i have another 24 days nak berpantang2 ni.(mcm le selama ni aku berpantang sgt) hehhehe. aku pun dah start kuar umah.so lepas ni sape yg nak msk tu boleh le jemput aku skali(esp ema n mas).oleh kerana paan bising takde org nak tulis ,meh le aku cite psl kebzan aku yg dah ada dua org anak ni.tension giler....bukanle nak merungut tp agak penat jugak le. i cannot imagine camne org dulu2 ada sampai 7-8 org anak kecik2.yg 2 ni pun susah nak jaga.lepas sorang sorang aku kena attend.lepas sorang nangis, yg sorang lagi pulak nangis.bila sorang nak tido yg sorang lagi pulak bangun, nasib baik bila abe balik dia tolong jaga anak.tak sabo rasanye nak tunggu abe cuti.nasib baik jugakle mak aku ada.at least ada org nak msk.kan best kalau syaz ada boleh aku minta tolong masak.thats it lepas ni cukup.aku dah tak larat dah.kalau nak pun tunggu lama skit sampai si natrah tu dah besar.so aku nasihatkan org2 yg takde anak lagi tu berseronokle dulu.hehhehhe...bila dah puas berseronok barule nak beranak.
aku pun nak meluahkan betapa tensionnye diri ini sbb tak dpt jugak keja intern.bangang punye UCC.bolehle aku dlm waiting list lagi.ada PR pun tak guna gak.apalah nasib badan...penat jer aku turun naik UCC.kalau aku tak dpt keja jugak julai ni lagi le depress aku.pastu terpaksa le aku tunggu next jan.dah le syaz takde ,bosannye idup aku.mas nak balik summer, org lain keja.agee nak pindah limerick.iskhiskh.sedih syaz balik tak abih lagi .anyway,aku tak call lagi syaz since dia balik ari tu bukan apa aku takut nanti aku nangis lagi . abih tisu sekotak pulak.kalau abe call sure dia lagi sedih hehehh. tambah pulak tak lama lagi ema nak balik, paan balik.macam mummy kata sunyile kita bila 2 mulut murai ni takde...bosannye...nasib baik mak aku ada hehehe.... at least takle boring tu pun sampai bulan lapan je.mula le aku nak sedih bila memikirkan masa hadapan. aku rasa nak banyak aku tulih rupa2nye skit je.macam mana le paan boleh tulih berjela2.lain kali le aku tulih bila aku tak bz ye kawan2. aku nak letak gambar natrah aku tak reti lagipun korang smua dah tengok dia.tunggu le bila dia besar skit.bila muka dia berubah skit.aku paksa abe tolong letak utk aku.
chowsssss

p/s: syaz rumput aku dah panjang mcm utan kat belakang ngan kat depan.penat aku pikir nak minta tlg sape potong.lagipun aku nampak tikus dr umah sebelah berlari2an kat belakang tu. takut aku nak kuar.

we will miss you........

It has been quite a while since I wrote anything here, quite eventful weeks indeed I must say these past couple of weeks. Wonderful and happy moments that made us smiling all day and instilled cheerful feelings each time they come across our minds nonetheless a tear jerking moment as we loss one of our dear long time friend or should I say a member of our little family here.

I made myself available in the weekend of May 13th on which day the blood shed tragedy occurred back home in 1969, people remember this day as a black spot in the history of our country. To me not anymore, as I remember it as a very memorable day of the joining of my dearest friends in matrimony, Anelia and Honza Franta. The wedding was in Clonskeagh Mosque in Dublin (I may have spelled the name of the mosque incorrectly) on Saturday, 13th of May 2006 at 2 pm. It was such a wonderful wedding as it was indeed very private, personal yet simple and we were all there even Afiq! in celebration of the union of these 2 lovebirds. However there were a couple of our good friends couldn’t make it to the wedding and they all had a valid excuse not to come, nah if only they could come they would be the first to be there and the wedding would have been merrier by their presence. Everything went well, I enjoyed every second of it and I gotta be one of the witnesses, not intentional but since I had my passport with me and the others had not I won the hot seat. Actually it was an honour to be part of their wedding, thanks guys for letting me be ( as if u guys had a choice hahaha) even though I was probably the last person you would ask for, okay again I was just messing. Again thank you to both of you. The day got even better weather wise, it set everyone’s in a good and festive kinda mood and the little “reception” we had down at the mosque’s restaurant was indeed a happening one. Oh here comes the best part, the wedding cake!!! Oh my god, I wouldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it, it looked really beautiful and very professionally made, well done to the chefs, Syaz and Zariena!! I know you guys went through hell to make it and they were all worth it, the cake was indeed a success. Tasted delicious and juicy actually, this comes from me who isn’t really a fan of cinnamon and fruity type of cake, so it was great.


The photography session outside the mosque was fun, there were pouting pose, jumping and all these weird poses you can imagine. The pictures came out okay though. Later that night we went to a Japanese restaurant in Dublin city for dinner, there were 12 of us left including the bride and groom, the rest had gone back to Cork. The food sucked but the company were brilliant. Syaz, Syed and I got there a bit late as were got lost on the way to the restaurant, funny thing was Syed drove us there and he practically a Dublin native since he lives there for the past 9 years ironically still managed to get lost. I know I’m gonna be harmed for this statement, sorry Syed as a consolation you have such an awesome apartment the best yet I’ve known among Malaysian and great hospitality. There I paid my due. It was a good night and the newlyweds were blushing when we left the restaurant as we all made fun of them, we made quite a scene really hahahahaha. Here I would like to wish to both of you Lia and Honza all the best and all the everlasting happiness and joy both of you are going to embark together as well as success in life and careers. Also wish you beautiful, smart and afiq-like friendly kids to you guys too. Well sure you know this, you guys actually perfect for each other, kinda freaked me a bit when I found out how you guys have so much in common and you Honza has such great patience! hahahahahaha. I am truly happy for you guys, to the bride and the groom, Anelia and Honza!!!!! Cheers (tisu, tisu……. mana tisu)


Damn I thought I wanna do this in chronological order as it happened, I just skipped the birth of Alynna Natrah Faisal. Maybe Ema’s curse on me starting to take its effect for making fun of her too much. Afiq’s little sister was born on May the 11th at 10:30 am in Erinville Hospital. She is just the sweetest and cutest little baby, this time Sri’s winning, I think she looks more like her mommy than her daddy especially her nose. Regardless she is one beautiful and good baby doesn’t cry much maybe not to her parents though, she’s gonna be as good as her brother I bet. Congratulations once again to you Abe, Sri and Afiq!!!!

With all these good things that been happening, i was so grateful to god for the blessings however life can be so cruel at times. As we were celebrating the wedding and the arrival of our new additional member we were the saddened by Syaz’s return to Malaysia for good. Circumstances can be a bitch most of the times, for some reasons he has to come back for his own good future. Honestly of all people I admit I probably will miss him and feel his lost the most as I had been quite dependant to him as my confidant, my cook and source of laughter, he is quite a comedian I must say. My housemate for 6 years and close friend for all of this time I’ll be lying if I don’t feel anything with his departure. He is such a good friend, very obliging, kind-hearted, fun, lively, talented, smart, self-sufficient (he likes to take this quality for granted though) and everyone easily get close to him even in such a short period as he is the most accommodative person you would ever met. Everyone here loves him and misses him. As much as we would love him to stick around his future is waiting back home, knowing him he could survive any obstacles in his path, knowing him he would have many success to come and knowing him he will discover later that going home is the best decision he ever made so far. He has our blessings for leaving us and Syaz, we all here for you if you need anything and though you far away you are very close to our hearts. We wish you all the best with your fresh start and sure we will meet you again, and you know what we’re looking forward to it already. (tisu, tisu ……mana tisu!!!!)

tak tau tajuk ape lah

As it has been pointed out by the writer 2 stories down , blog nie sememangnyerlah lame tidak diupdatekan. Well yours truly sibuk mengadap buku atas meja, manekala yang lain-lain sibuk beranak serta kawen. For once terseksa gaklah batin ini duduk atas meja tuh mengenangkan yang lain lain sedang sibuk enjoy kawen kawen serta bersuka-ria , and for the moment my room looks really like a dump. Actually I just finised my exams today, mula mula ingat nak pergi Bandar, but decided against it coz tadak duit and lagi pun dah muak aku tengok bandar, so I made my way to the only place I know better – (TESCO) , well alkisahnyerlah sebelum sampai wilton roundabout , I made the decision to go to CUH instead, sebab lapar giler ( kepada yang sedia jeles , yesterday , which was Sunday , I just ate oranges ( five I think ) and ( two pisangs) and roti 2 keping, and well as accompanied by the cawan demi cawan of coffee ( so some reason aku bubuh banyak giler gula ) and sebab tuh pagi nie berak aku busuk giler.

Well as usual , at CUH aku melantaklah sampai tak ingat dunia , it was probably the most I’ve ever eaten in one go , banyak giler !!!!!

( Shaz you would feel so proud of me!-AND THIS TIME ,HONEST!)

siap bayar lebih lagi then the normal $4.30! si minah Filipino tuh siap warning lagi aku yang its not $4.30

(dalam hati-I was like hello!! Aku yang nak makan ker kau yang nak makan !!
You know when your faced with situations like this, you just wanna hampuk kepala minah tuh dengan tray yang ader kat tangan ko or simbah dengan air panas, nasib baik aku maintain…..

Sebab aku makan banyak sangat arini, on the way home aku sakit kepala yang amat sangat ( post-prandial migraine) , abeh sampai tak buleh bukak mate sume ( warrrrrr, dramaticlah pulakkan ) …….so balik umah aku tidur, and tengok ricky lake then oprah ( Ya Allah , mak-maklah sangatkan). Then aku bangun , and dah okay , and noticing that my headache has gone the sun was shinning brightly , i did the second thing I know most, pergi ke UCC nie-lah, so skrang aku kat UCC tengah memblogkan diri. I gather korang sume still mesti tak balik lagikan ke cork ni.

Hmm yours truly hasn’t been doing much these few months, except bukak buku, and kalau tak bukak buku, berangan sorang-sorang kat dalam bilik , cakap/menyanyi sorang sorang, berangan jadi superstar , or some some drop dead gorgeous model .
I reckon kalau aku duduk lame sket dalam bilik aku tuh , buleh kene makan dengan bilik nanti. Well aniways, my room is totally-really-really in a mess now, tak tau nak start kat mane. Kain baju aku pon banyak yang tak basuh, termasuklah bekalan suar dalam aku yang tersangatlah berharga yang hampir depleted, serta ader tergantung kat mane-mane, a few days ago I found a suar dalam inside my karung bantal!! Nasib baiklah AKU yang punyer-kan!!! Well aniways I guess that’s all, will be adding stuff in soon, so stay tunelah-kan.

Dinner at C. Paradiso


Hello hello hello! Since our bro-that- self-confessed-of-a-morbid-ramblings (soo true though) dah meradaNG due to lack of enthusiast/contributors, yours truly felt quite guilty of the charge. So Paan, berhasil jugaklah taktik taktik kau nih. I want to immortalised our "Cafe P Day" last weekend in our Blog, so when some of us begin our seperate ways in seperate continents we can always recap these tsk tsk tsk moments tsk tsk tsk together...

Consistent with general opinion that Shaz should be a proffesional Chef... "Chef Shaz" cool! I really would like to congratulate Shaz and all his apperentice (yours truly lah), Entree Chef Emma Walsh and Dessert/Pastry Chef Lia for what can only be described as sublime, purrre indulgence cuisine.

Shaz, kau kena ingat sampai bila2 the joy of shopping in the Cork Food Emporium ( English Market ler) with Emma (masa aku oncall tak aci!. Aku tau kau excited sangat beli those rarified organic ingredients sampai "bertakbir" tgh2 malam hahahahah. I wish I can look at Abe's face at that time......hahahahah!!!!!!!!! My god looking at all the orgaanic ingredients........ just fantastic. (Ok you guys can certify me as a Food Freak now).

The fabulous entree by Emma

Baked portobello mushroom with Cashel blue cheese, pecan crumbs and sage, and smoked paprika aioli (aha...aha...)



The Chef's main course

Goats Cheese crottin and caramalised red onion in hazelnut tartlet with watercress pesto


Walaupun ada juga perut yang nak nasi ayam lepas tuuu (heheheh tak per tak per). Little Aqeelah really likes asparagus! So cute watching her go through them! Aji and uncle... jgn salahkan aku ya....

It ended with Swiss Almond (or something) coffee, but not before the dessert of Vanilla, ricotta and white chocholate pudding with blueberry compote (alamak Lia sorry tak da gambar aku terlupa lak smalam). But oit was guuuuddd

Tapi the night has a big but..... I really wish Mas and Honza were there, I m sure you will enjoy it. No matter Mas...Insyallah we will do it again after Lia's Wedding. So Paan (even though I will sooo have to buat nasi goreng belacan for you ), make sure u r in Cork the weekend after Lia's wedding ok.

Small note...... Little Afiq, get well soon chayang! And Sri, Im on call Wed and Friday if you decide to have your baby ok will be looking forward to see ur new edition!

aah ek keciknyer dunia nih!!!!

weh mas mana datang entry ko ni? tadi takde tup tap before aku nyer lak tuh!!! by the way you are the only one who can pull this kinda "amazing" discovery hahahaa, some talent........i mean it!!

the comeback

it annoys me that everytime i went to this site, i see "kelakar bangat" on the title. what happen to the contributor people of this blog? rather watching this site slowly dying right before my eyes i better take the initiative to jumpstart this god forsaken site.
i haven't been working for quite a while that means i had all the time in my hands to be somewhere around people who gratefully never tired of listening my insanely morbid talent to talk rubbish so i guess there was really no point of me to blog. on the hand now that i'm stuck in Sligo General Hosp, i'm sorry to announce my comeback into this blogging arena one more time for you guys to endure hahahaha, the healthy outlet for me and for you people :-). by the way this hospital library or so called "research and education centre" kick ass!!! i never got the chance to wander around the place yet as i drove to sligo from limerick at 0300 hrs, that 3 am in the morning Syaz (hahahahah) and arrived at 7 am just to find that i was on-call that very day. what have done to deserve this!!!!!!! (dramatic le konon-kononnyer) well i just had to suck it in and let the day went by with no expectation whatsoever, that helped actually. i just took it one thing at a time and so far so good :-) ( talk about self-help). nothing exciting happened anyway i guess the most excited part would be meeting Ike, i was asking myself the other day who would be working here that i probably know somehow his name didn't cross my mind but now he's my best friend!!!!!! he always is but now even better than ever hahahahahaha, just messing. thank god i'm only gonna be here for another 3 days........3 long days........3 long long days. that's fine by tomorrow, 1 down 2 more to go!!!! whatever.
last weekend as usual being as joyful and hedonistic as ever we all went to the beach. it was indeed a really good trip, i like the "journey" part thanks to you Abe i never felt that happy seeing you screwed up the picnic plan really enjoyed the guilty look on your face hahahahah(explosive and evil laugh), just messing. well in fairness at the end we found an exquisite (at least at the time given the options) place pretty much exclusive to us. i could see the excitement in everyone's eyes and we had this "pantai ini kami yang punya!!!!" vibe going on especially Abe, admit it dude!!!!
hahahahaha. great day...and it wasn't until 2 days later it dawned on me that days like that won't be like that anymore as pointed out by Sri and emotional Abe. last weekend was the last one we could all be together like that minus few who were oncall (your absence were felt guys, truly). soon Sri would be you know, decompressed :+> and our weekend port won't be available like before, Syaz will be leaving so will Mas, then Ema :-(((( tisu, tisu.....mana tisu?
i guess it's time for me to grow up now, take life seriously especially my career, guess i had too much fun, not that it was bad but it might cause my priority went a bit astray, no wonder i'm still here hahahahaha (again explosive laugh) but for the moment i want to make the most of it and enjoy whatever time we have left forever, we're gonna party like we never did before yeah!!!!! party=drinking coffee in costa/feast of delicious malay cookings(esp Syaz's)/ eat and eat and eat a couple more time over. damn my reg just turn up, literally out of nowhere,how did he do that?! (perplex in wonder) gotta go
