Sayonara, 2013! Irrasshaimasen, 2014!

It's "Bye-bye, 2013" and "Hello & Welcome, 2014" time. I bet all of you are dying to 'expect' what 2014 have in stores for you. But before we get on to the whole "I'm gonna do better this year!", "I'm gonna work harder!", "I'm going to study smarter!" and all of the other cliches, let's take time to reflect upon the year that have passed.

Claire Morgan: As you all can see the ball has stopped half way to its porch. It's suspended there to remind us before we pop the champagne and celebrate the New Year, to stop and reflect on the year that has gone by. To remember both our triumphs and our missteps, our promises made and broken. The times we opened ourselves up to great adventures or close ourself down for fear of getting hurt. Cause that's what New Year's is all about, getting another chance. The chance to forgive, to do better, to do more, to give more, to love more. And stop worrying about what if and start embracing what will be. So when that ball drops at midnight, and it will drop, let's remember to be nice to each other, kind to each other. And not just tonight, but all year long. Thank you.

Santa Claus : A Christmas Wonder

Xmas comes again merrily this year. By now, everywhere around Malaysia, particularly in the city of miscreants and misfits, Kuala Lumpur, Christmas is welcomed jubilantly with bright red and greens encompassing of twinkling lights and decorations. I need not delve into what kind of decorations there are since it's an extraneous task listing down or mentioning about. But this time I would like you all to lend me your cognitive processor and bear with my "why" questions about the jolly old men in red himself.

Terengganu : Y&Z Wedding | Part 2

So, on the morning of 22nd November, both Faiz and I set our foot at Damai LRT Station to pick up our rented car at about 10am over. That was the agreed time in which the owner wanted us to come and pick it up, but apparently these guys don't know that punctuality and tardiness don't mix. We had to wait for until it was 11pm over that this guy finally came over to deliver the car. I don't know whether this was the practice or what but apparently the car was really low on gas when we got it. Thankfully there's a nearby petrol station. Well, I can't say much about on the road trip since it's a long drive... Except that we missed a turn when we reached into Port Kuantan...

Happy Merdeka Day the 56th

Honestly, we don't deserve it. 

Because :

Hehehe!

So, Happy Merdeka y'all!

Happy Eid ul-Fitr 2013

Okay, I know, this is so not a practical way to celebrate Eid, but this is going to be a short one. Not going to take a lot of your time at all.

Wordless Wednesday : Esok Raya

ESOK RAYA!!!!

HAPPY EID UL-FITR 2013 TO ALL!!!!

Iftar with Langat Family

Okay, I'm recently on a momentous drive of breaking my fast that has anything to do with buffet-style iftar. Not my fault really, I'm lucky enough and thankful enough to Allah S.W.T. that he blesses us with this holy month and with kindness given us sustenance to keep on living in this earth. Anyhow, this won't be a long one, I just want to share about the iftar on 20th July (Saturday last week) where after such a freaking long time, I finally had the guts to go back to my father's hometown where my father's siblings are organizing a potluck iftar.

Iftar @ Seoul Garden

Aaargggghhhh finally, after tons and tons of time asking and begging and pleading and hoping, I was finally able to step my foot into the so-called Seoul Garden. As far as I can remember, some of our classmates are like, super crazy on Korean food and so, I guess it came as natural that they'd love it. I was at first quite irritated whenever they would yap and yap about it, particularly because I was on an anti-Korean culture/K-Pop/K-Drama/whatever-it-was because it was the mainstream thing to do. *Hipster alert*

Ramadhan Buffet @ Burger Bakar Abang Burn

Anyone out there a big motherfucking fan of Burger Bakar Abang Burn? Then rejoice for Abang Burn is currently testing out a special Ramadhan Buffet at his Bandar Tasik Permaisuri outlet as a new project. As you all know, his burgers range from RM8 and more, depending on how burger-crazy you are. Like even for some of those people who ordered those insanely high tower burger (current record stands at 80), who'd guess how much Ringgit that would have costed?

Ramadhan : Moderation in Consumption

A week have past since the start of Ramadhan. How are you guys feeling? Especially for those who are fasting? Anyway, stay strong, or as Kifly Mally would always say, "stay goddess" okay? Hahahaha. Doesn't matter how colorful or dull your personality is, life should always go on, no matter what people think of you. Anyway, I hope that just because Bazaar Ramadhan will be there the whole month, doesn't mean you can pig out after iftar. Fasting in Ramadhan teaches us to live in moderation. It is not just about eating (although most of the Muslim people can only "fast" on their hunger), it is more than that.

Burger Bakar Abang Burn : Al-Lazat

In the events of this holy month of Ramadhan, entrepreneurs aren't letting go of this chance to make extra good deeds to. The famous grilled burger franchise, Burger Bakar Abang Burn too, aren't missing out on this well-served opportunity to bring out the goodness of his burger people all around by eating their new burger. 

Introducing Al-Lazat, the new burger introduced to celebrate Ramadhan. This burger compromises of delicious prepped chicken strips in 'percik' sauce that is grilled till it's smokey sweet, mashed on top of crisp lettuce laden with a special secret sauce, then topped with another special Arabic white sauce, all wedged in delicious toasted buns.

Ramadhan : Abstaining Speeches

It's time to repent, make tons of good deeds and pray to the Almighty Allah S.W.T. for forgiveness and a place in his heavenly afterlife. Yup, as you all know, yesterday mark the first day of Ramadhan, a month of fasting and repentance. I shall not divulge in what Ramadhan entails of, read it up on the internet, tons of reading material or just watch some tele, they are bound to be a lot of commercial or programme that talks about it. Don't be a lazy bum and learn a little.

But today I want to nag about the restraints and constraints that we are supposed to adhere during this holy month. As Muslim everywhere knows, syaiton nir rojim and all of his minions and underlings are locked away, relieving us from all the bad temptations and negligence that has been corrupting us the whole year (following the Islamic calendar) up to this month. They are cast away so that we, as our pure self can act and make a decision about our life without that spiritual influence.  This is the month where Muslim are given a chance to make as many good deeds as they can. Not saying that they can't before but whatever good they do (in Allah's name) during this month, the rewards we got are doubled or tripled or even more (I'm not quite sure how much is it, actually, Wallahuallam). So, we must do our best to make full use of this hallowed month.

Wordless Wednesday : Ramadhan is Here

I wish you all the best of Ramadhan and don't be skipping out on getting more good deeds during this glorious month!
