This post is going to be like a lengthy wedding speech.

Here's to never growing up, woahh!

First of all, Alhamdulillah and I'm so glad that finally you made it through these years to this wonderful day all your life. Izzah Nadiah who is my high school mate since 2004 when we started our study in INTEP. She came in second intake, as long as I could remember. I can't quite remember how we started to tag along but since then that we acknowledged each other as sibling. Perhaps we both have a lot of things in common, so that was how 'sibling' began. She's a bright girl, athletic, extrovert and pleasant to be with. Actively involved in netball in centre position, she's a ghost, you might found her everywhere in the court. Guess her petite physical helps her to move around faster. Me? I'm only a devoted watchful supporters sitting by the court. 

One notable trait that people found us in common was our loud sneeze, aaaaaacccchhhuummmm!! My class was located next to hers' which sometimes our sneeze sound alternately, the loud sneeze that sometimes some of us would make fun of it for the fact we didn't purposely freak them out with our blaring sneeze. It was natural.

The lame part about me, I was like the last pieces domino, the last to be hit and the last to fall. I didn't bother with all the gossips in the air like, A met with B at the intersection of Aspura-Aspuri, C stumbled upon an encouraging note on the desk from anonymous D, E kept his/her feeling for F because F already with G, love remain unspoken or, or, or H got a giant slate of Cadbury chocolate under the desk from mysterious I, to be true I only knew those kind of things right after we left school. Seriously. The same goes with Izzah that I had only knew she started to date Hayat then, which was long after all of us left school. Well, the last pieces of domino.

Fast forward, we further studies, we don't meet up very much due to distance restriction, and luckily Facebook keep us in touch. Ouch Facebook, speaking of Facebook, had I mentioned once there was a request-to-change-the-password-but-not-from-account-owner-itself tragedy? Not quite a tragedy actually, but sometimes it did get me grinned or chuckled a bit. What was this 'tragedy'? I think I'll keep the rest of the 'tragedy' untold here. And we were back again last year when I started to work in KL and there came Amiza & Saswe joining in which most of the times, there will be 4 of us hanging out together and all we love to do is sit and chit chatting all day long. Some would find us rather boring, it's like we didn't spend our time together other than talk and talk and food as well, when to think about that, perhaps our talks never have an ending. 

Right on 27th of April 2013, she officially married to her long time sweetheart, Fadzlul Hayat. I’m going to take some times to tune myself that she’s now somebody’s wife en lieu somebody’s daughter whilst her responsibility one level up. It's almost 7 years that you both have been together and the path for you together must have paved long long time ago in Luh Mahfuz. A generous, warm-hearted, cheerful, caring equal and forever a great friend of mine. And Hayat, by any chance if you read this, you should have known how lucky you are to have her by your side for all this while and Insya-Allah in years to come, you see, 7 years passed and you survived all odds, rocking situation and miles of rough distance, that's victorious buddy! 

To sibling and Hayat, may you both always sail in the same direction, sharing aspirations, hopes, dreams, laughter and co-sharing al conquests. 

Finally, #2 spot filled! Another celebrated couple, Iera, also the HYXCESS member, had tied a knot to her love ones, Akmal. May you live forever in love.

Late post? Yes it is, I should have posted it in last month. Meet our celebrated HYXCESS member who breaks the puzzle of who's the first to settle down and get married. There are 8 of us - plus our late Rahedah - and while Syida has found her way, the queue is still on and our most anticipated spot must be #8. 

 

My dear, may the love bestowed upon both of you and happily ever after.

Aku sebenarnya nak tukar kerja tahu tapi, interview pun tak menyinggah lagi. Rasa nak beli kete jugak tapi, duduk dekat bandar penuh pancaroba ni macam tak padan nak pakai kete canggih canggih, tambah plak mak pun tak kasi beli kete. Baik beli rumah ye dak tapi, nak beli rumah kat mana, kat bandor ni ke, kampung ke? Terasa jugak macam nak pakai smartphone tu tapi, aku pakai telefon tu setakat aku jawab call dengan mesej je, fungsi-fungsi lain yang ‘fancy’ semua tu aku tak heran, tak pakai, tak minat…setakat masa ni lah, tapi bila sebut mesej ni, dah berotot ibu jari tekan-tekan bila balas mesej, keypad keras masya-Allah, berpadananlah telefon pakai sekarang bolehlah. Dikategorikan. Sebagai. Dumb. Phone. Tapi, tapi, tapi, besar jasa dia tahu. Lepas tu nak pakai iPad mini jugak tapi, nak tunggu iPad mini 2. Bila mengenangkan laptop yang dah tak berapa power – processor Core Duo bila mana smartphone sekarang pun ada yang dah guna quad core - dengan kapasiti penggunaan aku sekarang rasa nak angkat all-in-one PC tu seketul tapi, hummm itulah. Kerja berlonggok atas meja tapi macam rimas serabut, but, but, but siap tengok Madagascar lagi kat opis. Sekarang ni pulak aku macam lapar tapi, tak tahu nak makan apa.

Tapi ni pun siap jadi modal lagu jugak.

Sekarang kau kira berapa banyak ‘tapi’ aku taip kat atas. ‘Tapi’ digunakan untuk menerangkan sesuatu keadaan atau subjek yang bersifat kontradik dan sangat ‘applicable’ untuk orang yang banyak kerenah, banyak alasan, banyak cekadak. Tapi itu, tapi ini, serba-serbi ‘tapi’. Kadang, ‘tapi’ ni kena jugak untuk situasi yang memerlukan justifikasi yang lebih konkrit. Tengok ‘tapi’ aku je lah berapa banyak, macam-macam lah tapinya.

Tapi gitu ah, nok buat guane doh. Bleh, bleh, bleh. 

Apart from Lego - Star Wars and Marvel Super Heroes sets and not to forget Lightsaber, oh talking about Lego, I'm even thinking about putting a set of it on 'dulang' and make it as one of 'hantaran', see how nonsense my imagination could be.

>Enough of your rumblings, Syuhada!

What? Oh, sorry, that's went too far, alright, where am I stop just now?<

>Urghh..

Uh-oh, ok got it, got it, yep I would love to keep them as my personal collection and now I've got another cool stuff that startled me. See the post title, it is called Xbox Kinect.

To tell you the truth, for all this time I thought that Xbox Kinect is just another gaming console along with PS3, Xbox, Nintendo I mean they are all the same console anyway - except they came from different manufacturer - with function obviously, to play games. But I'm completely wrong. See what I've wiki-ed for you readers.

Read more and more.

Still don't get it? Allow me to simplify it for you ladies and gentlemen. Kinect, a motion sensor which cooperates with Xbox 360 console that will take your gaming aesthetics to another level but without using any controller or joystick. It requires your body gestures to play the game and get you off the couch in which you yourself is like one of characters in a virtual ecosystem that making your gaming experience so real. I'm pretty sure that you want to keep your curtain close cause your neighbor might think that you had gone nuts while you're smashing, punching, skipping, kicking, slashing or even shouting, squealing, bawling all alone in your hall. Kinda cool to me, cause you hardcore gamer won't be slouching all day on your couch completing another level of your game with bottles of Coke and packs of junk food and get fat. 

Hurmm, I'm sure you guys still frowning and can't get through this body gesture idea so, freaking not, I got this video to help you digest this Kinect thing.

Kinect has paved its way in market around 2 years but I just figure out what actually is this thing like few days ago - yeah, that's shame - and in a second it already listed on my milestone list. Milestone huh? 

Is there anyone know where can I get this stuff here in Malaysia?

So I'm initiating the Forever After post which dedicated to newly married couples among us. Well, they are some of us whose still planning towards their day and I'm anticipating your invitation people! 

Never had enough of our nuts. Huh.

In before, truly apologized to Poknik & Wani, not making to attend their wedding. :(

Dah gatal kocek, garu sampai rabak.

Yes, berakhir sudah Januari, pantas sungguh permulaan tahun berlalu, dan seterusnya aku berharap Februari pun berakhir dengan cepat jugak - sama macam Januari. Seiring dengan tamatnya Januari, senarai harapan (wishlist)..-err boleh?- pun ehmmm...ehmm - dalam sikit bunyi dehem tu - bertambahlah point-point dia. Untuk itu post ini dinamakan gatal kocek, mengaruk tak tentu hala nak beli itu nak beli ini. 

Ipad Mini

Pengarukan pertama berlaku tengah bulan haritu, datang kerja terus rasa macam nak beli iPad haritu. Sasau? Sawan? Aku syak semua bermula dengan apps untuk baca artikel kat Flipboard, Feedly dan Pulse, aku bengang sebab lenguh woh aku hadap semua tu sambil duduk baca kat pc. Paling sedap kalau dapat duduk terlentang, ekau dah besar panjang..ah sudah AC Mizal menyelit plak, maksud aku, kau boleh menikmati pembacaan kau dalam apa jua posisi, ditemani air Kopi Kampung Bukit Tunggal sekole...peh. Yang menambah bengang haritu, sumbak dekat airport, flight delay, hah buku memang ah ada tapi seat departure hall tu bukan cozy sungguh nak layan buku-buku sampai penumpang taknak naik flight pun, kena plak tahu jelah buku pun macam drama tv jugak sampai satu plot, bosan je memanjang. Tak putus kot masa tu meratib, kan best kalau ada iPad, kan best kalau ada iPad, kan best kalau ada iPad, kan best kalau ada iPad, kan best kalau ada iPad, kan best kalau ada iPad, kan best kalau ada iPad, gila!

*Oh kenapa iPad Mini? Pasal saiz dia yang praktikal bagi aku. 

Sandal sport/outdoor

Teva Women's Zirra*

Teva Women's Hurricane XLT

Ini nak kira mengaruk jugak ke cemane. Mungkin lebih kepada keperluan aku rasa. Aku sedikit particular dengan suitable footwear untuk menyokong pergerakan yang selesa dan pantas berpadananlah dengan aku, jenis jalan laju. Yaaa, sekarang aku amat berkira dalam menjaga keselesaan sarung-pakai kaki aku, lenguh sengal takde Ogawa Gintell nak urut kaki. Tambah-tambah lagi setiap hari bekerja, kaki ni diguna sepenuhnya untuk gerak pergi kerja. OK memang dah ada sepasang kasut ni, design stail Mary Jane, insole adiPRENE. Memang sedap untuk long distance walk, tumit tak sakit, keting tak sengal, boleh pakai untuk kasual atau ke pejabat, hari keluar lambat memang kena pakai kasut ni pasal sedap nak sprint ke opis wakakaka, kira macam 'fashionable with brain', cewah. Akan tetapi, yang memilukan hati bila hari hujan, habis lencun pasal insole dia suede. Pret, pret, pret bunyi air. Untuk itu, aku mencari sandal dua alam, banyak-banyak alam pun boleh. Kebetulan memang tengah cari sandal, si Fakm & Azam pun tunjuk sandal Teva ni (ok diorang 2 pun pakai jugak). Ada sandal ni, habis kuat nanti flat bodoh-bodoh tu tinggal bawah meja, sampai opis tukar. Dah nama sport/outdoor sandal, takde nak fashionable sangatlah, peduli ah fesyen fesyen, kaki aku lagi mustahak nak kena cushion. 

Dalam senarai harapan (wishlist) lain adalah nak beli handbag baru lah, Deuter 50L lah, henfon baru lah..ehm..., jam baru lah, hah apahal ehm ehm tuu, tapi itulah, aku macam tak nampak justifikasi pembelian tu. Deuter tu kira perlu jugak pasal backpack dah hampir rabak menanti sangkut kat ranting terus terburai isi. 

Yang merapu pepanjang kat atas tu bila nak beli? Haaa, bila pergi kedai belilah. Heh.

*Nota kaki - Sekali kat belakang strap untuk pergelangan kaki tu lining dengan pig-skin. Cun saje je. Cis.
