Junior and the good old days at ITM

-
Had a nice surprise just now when my brother who is staying in KL called and told me that somebody would like to speak to me, of all the people, I never expected to hear from her again. The last I heard or saw her was when she was doing her Pre-Commerce in 1990 at UiTM (then ITMCS). She was in the first batch of freshies that initiated the Semariang Campus then. It was my first time being an OC (Orientation Committee). But then the ragging thingy was already banned after the UPM's case earlier on. Still we did manage to put the freshies under pressure or rather the so-called orientation kind of a thing. But compared to my orientation days back in 1987, they fare better than us. We had miserably endured 11 days of orientation week back in ITM Batu Lintang then, we had to face the constant shouting, ridiculous requests such as looking for pregnant ants, kissing and hugging a tree, walking like ducks and quacking away at the same time. We had little time to sleep. We were practically up and about with talks after talks, briefings, group work etc. Think you can rest back at the hostel...no way!..we had some more 'ragging' from the seniors. Hey...I thought I was talking about my junior, Salmiza..hehehehehe...happy to hear from her, coincidentally her brother happens to be my brother's friend..what a small world indeed! Happy to hear that she's married with 3 kids and settled herself nicely in KL. We talked and gossiped for a while. Guess, I'll be sharing this story with Raden then, she's the same batch with Salmiza.

Bahasa Melano Balingian

-
My trip to Miri not only gave me the opportunity to reunite with old friends that I missed dearly but I also took the golden opportunity to learn more about my dad's language. My dad is a Melanau from Kpg Suyong, Balingian. Their melanau dialect differs from the rest of the Melanau dialects from Mukah, Oya, Rejang, Dalat, Matu, Igan & Bintulu. Sad to say that this particular dialect is slowly disappearing. Even my aunt Regina or fondly known as Usu Ina who is married to a melanau from Bintulu is at loss with her own Balingian dialect at times. So far, I've noticed that only my dad, my first cousins Lai & Kak Senah are still speaking this beautiful dialect fluently. Usu Ina converse mostly in the Mukah dialect and I observed that she would refer to Lai if she was not sure of the language itself. My dad and his siblings back in Balingian still converse in their own dialect but once they are out of their kampung, they would converse in the Mukah dialect again. Mmmmmmmmmmm.

Finally, I get to watch Ombak Rindu (OR) with friends last night. So here goes my review on the movie. 1) The scenery is simply fantastic and I just can’t help admiring the beautiful sceneries. It was indeed a sight to behold. So a beach-lover like me definitely enjoys and love all the beautiful sceneries. 2) Loved Hariz’s kampong house…byk modern facilities tapi nang kacaklah rumah ya.. 3) Dari mula sampei abis filem ya, the kitten doesn’t seem to grow up....go figure that out!!!…. 4) As expected some of my favourite scene in the novel was scrapped off especially bab Hariz n Izzah, there are quite a few intimate scenes (those who’ve read the novel knows, yang belum baca, sila beli dan baca k);I guess writer/director chose not to put those in the movies for sensitivity reasons and I think AA would want to think twice before acting certain scenes especially some intimate scenes with MK. 5) The OST was simply superb and the duet song by Hafiz AF7 and Adira AF8 complemented

Thoughts and rambles

It's been a while since my last posting.   Year in year out, I think I have such a boring life.  Initially, when I started this blog, I wanted to be a food blogger and sharing my passion for cooking and baking.  Before the existence of FB, blogging was the thing then.  I thought of trying to be one and yes, the first few years of blogging I was actively blogging, practically about everything. And then some turn in my life affected me so much that I began to drift away for a while.  Pic credit to Google.
