Why I Like It Longer


I am a girl with short hairs, short fingers, and short nails.



Look how macho I am in this pic!! -__-


I think that made me so unsexy. Though I am comfortable in my own skin, sometimes, I wish that I could have something long, instead of always short,

for example, a long hair to feel feminine and attractive, just like in the pictures below:


sexy Sienna Miller

elegant Sienna Miller

Yeah, Sienna Miller! She's all that! Slim, tall, fit, and lean, the one thing that bring her beauty to the utmost maximum is her long feminine hair.


If I have these long hairs (on my head instead of on my legs), I would not be labeled as a tomboy, but instead da bomb!


But yeah I know, it was just all in a label. I know I won't be comfortable in long hair because my personality suits short hair better (I used to have long hair before, but it doesn't bring out my personality), but I just need SOMETHING to assure that I am as feminine and as elegant as girls with long hair, even with my messy short hair, short fingers, and short nails.

And I just realize that,

the ANSWER to my NEED is THIS:



LG Chocolate Phone (BL40)!!!

Why? Why do I need this phone just to make myself feel more confident and less insecure?

Let me tell you why!

First of all, it's obviously because of the beautiful design.

Besides, the length of this phone brings out the utmost design of the phone. Just like Sienna Miller looks her best with long hair, this phone looks the best with its long length. So, if I own this phone, I would feel like the girl with the pretty long hair inside, but at the same time still comfortable in my own skin, in my own physically short hair.

Why I like it longer?

The long length of this phone makes it more elegant. Being a student, it's hard to be elegant as I always wear sneakers and jeans to class. But to own something elegant like this open the eyes of people that students like me could be elegant too! ;)


I wanna own this 'Supermodel' phone!


And I prefer something with wide screen. This phone has a four-inch wide screen with crystal clear HD resolution to give viewer a cinematic experience even through the cellphone. The length of the phone makes it more appetizing to watch movie through the phone, and the wide screen enables you to take full length picture easily even when you are near to the subject!


Besides, there are other features and functions of this phone make it so desirable, because it's a all in one functions where I can do almost anything that a student have to do, e.g: check e-mail, chatting, taking pictures for projects, socializing, etc. This phone is good to cope up with my hectic lifestyle this semester.


So, since I couldn't become a supermodel in real life, at least, at least, can I have this
'Supermodel' phone? (*=*)

Looking for Inspiration...

Whenever we want to make a public speaking or a speech, it is advised that we should pick the title we are most familiar with, and which is better if your audience could relate to. So I have this oral communication and public speaking in English (HEK212) paper which needs all of the students to prepare their speech by the next week. The title is "Personal Experience" which is general by the way, so we ourselves had to find a specific title which is our personal experience and present it the next week. So here I am, at lost at what I should present the following week. I just had one idea in mind right now, which is "Stroke", since I had a bad experience with it. Not that I ever had stroke before, but my father was diagnosed with it when I was 18. But the problem is that I am bored to death reading the facts about stroke, what more to present it to the audience who would probably yawn the whole 3 minute if I present about it.

So the million dollar question is - What should I present huh??

Should I present about my shopping experience - which is not a really intriguing title since everybody knows about shopping well, or maybe I should present about the coping up with the hectic schedule of a university student, or maybe the benefit of studying in USM (yawn~).. OMG - I am running out of useful/acceptable/good ideas.

Maybe I should present this - how to make sleeping/eating in the lecture hall less obvious. Okay, here's a way:

1) Remember to bring a big book with you which you could use to cover your face - then voila, pretend to be engrossed in the book and actually what you were doing behind it was something else.

2) Sit behind someone who's taller than you in the lecture hall. Now you're free to do what you want, even to pick your nose.

3) Pretend to be rubbing your forehead. This will ensure you the chance to sleep for a few minutes.


Okay, I guess I have to get serious now.

Chao~!

I guess, Macam-macam Aznil is still the most original show in Malaysia.

Interframe: It's just three days away from leaving Sibu and I felt weird how I wasn't that homesick of going back to my hometown but I wasn't eager to go back to the university to study either. I can already imagine the hectic life there with the activities lining up for my club and for my academic too. I felt nauseous even when I only think of it.

Now I am a little unwell due to coughing but I guess I had to recover rapidly - or else I would not be allowed to board the plane. The worst torture is that I had to eat only porridge though I felt like eating all the good stuff as this would be my last week at Sibu. What a waste. This semester, it would be my first time taking full unit (20 unit) and I hope I can cope up with all the hectic schedule.

I have a new favourite show.

And that show is Spontan.

This is a show aired on Astro Warna (which we didn't subscribe so I watched the downloaded version which I got from my sister who knew the show from our friends Step and Melody.)

This show made me laugh hysterically.

This show is hosted by Sharifah Shahira and there are at least four players in this show for every episode.

Each of the player were given the task to perform a sketch spontaneously.

I watched the show and I thought

"Wow~ Malaysia finally have its own original comedy show (besides Macam-macam Aznil) instead of using the format of the shows from other countries (e.g: Raja Lawak is the Malaysian version of Last Comic standing, etc)".

But as I watched through the Spontan series, suddenly it hit me.

This kind of show is somewhat familiar.

It does ring a bell of


jengjengjeng

"Whose Line is it anyway."


Whose Line is it anyway is originally a british show which had the US version hosted by Drew Carey. In this show, there are four players which had to do the sketch spontaneously according to the host's given situation.

So that's it. Spontan wasn't really that original either, except that it has a few innovation with the inclusion of the beatboxer Sean and a few more original games. But the format is still the same with Whose Line is it anyway.


Spontan

Vs

Whose Line Is It Anyway


But whatever it is, I still like to watch Spontan though I think it's hard to catch Din Beramboi's jokes sometimes.

So, as a conclusion, Macam-macam Aznil is still the most original comedy show in Malaysia.

Adakah aku layak menjadi Si Tenggang versi perempuan dan Prodigal Daughter versi Malaysia?

Interframe part 1: Aku akan balik Sibu dengan selambanya tanpa rasa excited pada 22 November dan balik Penang pada 1 Januari 2010 dengan perasaan yang sungguh tak excited. Tapi aku tetap bangga kerana selama ini aku tidak pernah skip Krismas di Sibu kerana aku tidak pernah balik awal semasa pembukaan semester baru di USM. Kesimpulan: Aku memang seorang penyambut Krismas yang baik.



Tidak dapat dinafikan, semasa dekat-dekat bermulanya cuti ini, kita semua mesti mendengar kata-kata teruja orang yang tak sabar-sabar nak balik, terutamanya golongan Sabah Sarawak yang jauh merantau untuk melanjutkan pelajaran di sini. Memang teruja, sebab bukan setiap kali cuti mereka dapat balik. Aku pun golongan Sabah Sarawak juga, tetapi secara jujurnya, aku lain. Aku tak sabar nak cuti je, bukan tak sabar nak balik. Perasaan nak balik tu ada, tapi tak kuat sangat. Jujur. Aku bukannya jenis yang homesick.

Masa aku mula-mula datang universiti dulu, aku langsung tak rindu rumah. Masa itu, aku rasa nak mulakan adventure saja - dan juga kerana masa itu, aku sangat sibuk dengan tanggungjawab yang aku terpaksa pikul di kampung halaman, maka kemasukan ke universiti ini menandakan aku boleh membebaskan diri daripada segala tanggungjawab yang memberi stress kepada aku. Perasaan rindu pada rumah itu ada jugalah sedikit, tapi SEDIKIT sahaja ya. Aku cuma rindu kucing-kucing dan masakan ibu. Orang kat rumah aku rindu juga, tapi sebab diaorang selalu telefon aku, aku boleh tahan lagi perasaan rindu ini.

Selama ini, aku tidak pernah menangis malam-malam sebab nak balik rumah. Kalau ada menangis malam pun, itu disebabkan faktor lain yang tiada kena-mengena dengan balik rumah.

Oleh itu, aku ingin mencari sebab kenapa aku berfikiran sebegini; kenapa aku tak rindu rumah seperti yang sepatutnya? Orang lain di USM kasihankan aku kerana balik Sibu sekali-sekala sahaja, tetapi aku selamba sahaja. Aku habiskan masa cutiku mengemop bilik dan melayari laman web di hostel - walhal orang lain semua balik ke rumah halaman masing-masing.


Oleh itu, aku perlu mencari punca-punca kenapa aku tidak rindu rumah dengan sedalam-dalamnya seperti orang lain. Dan setelah menganalisis dan mendalami otak, hati dan jantung ini, aku rasa mungkin inilah sebab-sebabnya.


1) Bebanan kerja di rumah adalah lebih besar berbanding dengan di hostel.

Di hostel, walaupun orang kata kita kena berdikari, kena cuci pakaian sendiri, tapi aku tak rasa bebanan kerja di hostel banyak sangat. Hal ini kerana, ada mak cik cleaner yang tolong bersihkan tandas. Kalau kat rumah, tak bersihkan tandas, mak akan kata tandas di rumah kotor. Mana tak kotor, sebab KUCING-KUCING INDOOR DI RUMAH PUN SAMA-SAMA MENGGUNAKAN TANDAS MANUSIA DAN MEMBUAT BISNES MEREKA DI ATAS LANTAI TANDAS. Hmmph~ Tapi walaupun kucing-kucing tu banyak kerenah, kalau berjauhan, memang rindukan mereka juga. Selain itu, kalau nak sapu lantai, di hostel, aku cuma perlu sapu bahagian kecil, iaitu bilik aku sendiri sahaja, tetapi kalau menyapu lantai di rumah, kena menyapu seluruh bahagian rumah yang ruangnya semestinya berkali ganda lebih besar daripada saiz bilik hostel aku di sini. Jadi, itulah sebabnya aku tak rindu rumah kot.


2) Tak ada wireless line kat rumah.

Inilah satu faktor penolak besar yang buat aku tak rindu rumah sangat. Ini sebab hal laptop aku jugalah. Laptop aku yang bernama Toshi-chan ini aku beli dari KEDAI MAKSON DI SUNGAI DUA, USM (Ya, sila catat nama kedai ini sebab dengan jujurnya, aku mengumunkan bahawa kedai ini ialah kedai penipu). Punyalah happy mula-mula dapat beli laptop colour putih yang berharga kurang daripada RM3000 (RM2999 sebenarnya, tapi masih happy juga) dan berjenama T****** (ini bukan iklan, harap maklum), tapi perasaan happy itu mulai hilang apabila aku buat discovery.

Discovery!: Rupa-rupanya laptop aku cacat sebelah badan, bahagian kanan laptop aku tak dapat berfungsi walaupun setelah disambungkan dengan wayar untuk mendapat talian broadband. Jadi, laptop aku hanya dapat online apabila menggunakan talian wireless, dan tidak dapat nak online kalau guna broadband atau guna tmnet. Mesti spesifik permintaannya : WIRELESS. Adui, tension betul time balik rumah. Kalau nak online, kena guna laptop kakak. Tak ada kuasa autonomi, tak rasa best pula.


3) Aku TAK NAK risaukan nasib kucing-kucing.

Kucing-kucing di rumah aku memang tak tahu yang kami sayang pada mereka ini. Mereka suka bermain di jalan, merantau ke rumah jiran-jiran dan 'membuat bisnes' di rumah jiran. Perkara ini menimbulkan konflik antara jiran dengan kami. Di kawasan kejiranan kami, aku yakin keluarga aku mesti menjadi mangsa gosip kerana membela terlalu banyak kucing. Kami terpaksa menabahkan diri, menebalkan muka, dan membuat apa yang terdaya kalau ada jiran yang datang complain tentang kerenah kucing-kucing kami. [Tetapi kami tak complain pun bila u'all langgar kucing kami dengan sewenang-wenangnya, huhu~!]

Sememangnya, kuasa cinta mengatasi segalanya, kerana kami masih sangat sayangkan kucing-kucing yang nakal dan separuh prodigal itu walaupun mereka telah menyebabkan konflik antara manusia. Hanya dalam konteks ini sahaja aku percaya akan kuasa cinta. Harap maklum.


4) Aku tak suka naik kapal terbang.

Aku ada mabuk udara - tak tahu sejak bila. Tapi pernah sekali semasa aku naik Air A*** balik Penang, aku muntahkan kampua yang menjadi breakfast aku (ya, kampua yang sedap dari kedai Jalan Permai) semasa kapal terbang Air A*** dalam proses mendarat di Kuala Lumpur. Dan, dengan tanpa banyak pilihan, aku menghulurkan plastik kertas berisi muntah aku itu kepada seorang pramugari.

Menaiki kapal terbang adalah wajib kalau nak balik Sibu ataupun Pulau Pinang. Jadi, aku tak suka..

5) Aku ada saudara di Pulau Pinang

Secara jujurnya, inilah sebab yang utama aku tak rindu rumah sangat, sebab aku ada 'rumah' kedua di Pulau Pinang. Kakakku merupakan faktor utama yang buat aku senang membiasakan diri di Pulau Pinang. Selain itu, kawan-kawan kakak aku dan kawan aku sendiri telah membuatkan aku selesa berada di sini. Di sini juga, bahasa Melayu Sarawakku berkembang. Aneh, aku perlu berada jauh dari Sarawak untuk mendalami bahasa Melayu Sarawak. Semasa berada di Sarawak, bahasa Melayu Sarawakku berada pada tahap teru-ah-u-ah. Tapi di sini, iaitu di negeri orang, aku dapat berkomunikasi dengan lebih lancar menggunakan bahasa Melayu Sarawak.

6) Harga pakaian dan barangan supermarket yang lebih murah di Pulau Pinang.

Kalau nak beli baju di Sibu, buang sahaja niat anda itu kecuali anda mudah berpuas hati dengan sehelai baju sahaja. Harga untuk membeli sehelai baju di Sibu boleh digunakan untuk membeli beberapa helai baju yang fashionable di Pulau Pinang. Kalau nak beli barangan keperluan seperti minuman, makanan, sabun dan sayur, pasar raya di Pulau Pinang (terutamanya Tesco) menawarkan harga yang lebih murah berbanding dengan pasar raya yang ada di bandar halamanku.



Aneh tetapi benar, walaupun dengan adanya semua faktor penolak ini, jikalau aku tak balik rumah, aku akan rasa kosong. Seperti kehilangan sesuatu - atau berasa bahawa hidup ini tidak lengkap. Walaupun kampung halaman kita tidak dapat membekalkan kita dengan segala kemahuan dan keinginan kita, kampung halaman kita ada keserasiannya sendiri dengan kita, walaupun adalah susah untuk kita memahami apakah benda tersebut. Mungkin kerana kampung halaman kita terdapat orang yang kita sayangi, ada memori dan ada intipati sebahagian hidup kita yang sebati dengan tempat itu.

Aku rasa, rumahku ada sejenis bau, bau aku, bau orang-orang aku, dan bau barang-barang aku. [Tiba-tiba rasa macam kucing pulak]


Dan yang pasti, ada satu bau yang aku rindu, iaitu bau masakan ibu.




Interframe part 2: ah, aku tak dapat menahan diri daripada blogging. Help! Ok, aku memang akan tinggalkan blog ini sementara waktu. Harap maklum?
