Mikaeel Jackson

He died yesterday, 25th June 2009. Cardiac failure.

I am not a great fan, but I grew up with his song. We sang Heal the World in a choir in secondary school. I love the Thriller movie and song.

I heard that he has converted to Islam last November and hope he still a Muslim until his death. Innalillah.. The world never left he rest in peace, but hopefully he is now.

Goodbye dear Jacko.

Climb

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

I don't know, somehow I was touched by this song. Maybe the lyrics, maybe the song itself.
I don't know, everytime I listen to this song, it brings goose bump to me.
I hope I will get the strength to make my dream a reality.




The Climb lyrics
Songwriters: Alexander, J; Mabe, J;

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

Yeah, I will not breaking, Ya Allah berikan aku kekuatan.

Chicken Pox

For the last 1 month, I have to deal with the chicken pox. Started with Nurul last month, and after she recover.. just after we get back from Sandakan, Danish took the turn. We gave him young coconut juice (air kelapa muda bah) as many people claim it will make the recovering stage faster. Alhamdulillah, just before we went to KL he had recovered. Although the scar were still can be spotted, but he is 100% ready for the trip.

Two days before we went back to KK, while changing Danial I saw some spots on his body. Alamak.. it was eventually Danial turns to kena. Luckily I brought the medicine. Apply the calamine lotion to reduce the itchiness and gave him ubat demam. So, not much jalan2 coz he is not feeling well and meragam.

It was quite a challenge when we were on the flight to KK. He keep crying and throwing all his tantraum. I am relieved when he fall asleep just before the meal came. He woke up 20 minutes to landing and continue his tebiat. Ndak tau lah apa org sebelah menyebelah cakap.. He was crying and crying. Kesian at the same time geram! I manage to calm him down showing his favourite cartoon on the screen - Upin dan Ipin.

Currently, I am on leave. Taking care dear Danial. He is recovering but the spots are so many. Especially on his face and his body. Kesian betul tinguk dia. Do you have any tips how to make the scar dissapear?

Visit

Today I visited students around Shah Alam anSd Kelana Jaya.

Quite a day.. my first visit, the jaga don't allow me to get in to the premise, a company at the Glenmarie. Sudah lah p sana sikit punya susah. I decided to take commuter to avoid the traffic jam. Skali tengok bila sampai di stesen susah pulak mo dapat teksi. Nasiblah org2 d sana tidak potong queue.

Insiden 1

Dijadikan cerita, bila sampai d syarikat *tuut* tu, saya bertanyakan pada Pak Guard.

Misako : I am here to see Miss *tuuut*. She is expecting me.
Jaga : Oh there is no staff name *tuuut*.
Misako : I just spoken with her. She is a practical student here.
Jaga : Baru kaa lama?
Misako : Hmm baru lah juga.
Jaga : Tiada..tiada.. sini tiada ambil pekerja praktikal.
Misako : Baru jer saya cakap dengan dia through phone tadi. Tak pe lah, saya tunggu dia turun.

Then tried to call the student. Ndak tau lah apa malang nasib saya, 10++ kali saya call ndak pulak menyambut si student ni. Bengang. Syukurlah ada gerai-gerai depan company tu. Lepak jap di kantin. Adalah lebih kurang setengah jam baru si student ni call.

Bila lalu kat depan jaga tu, dia kata
"Oooo ini pekerja lama.." Lama? 1 bulan tu lama ker?

Insiden 2

Visiting the last student of the day. Naik teksi dari Kelana Square ke Phileo Damansara.
Pakcik Teksi : Nak pergi maner?
Misako : Jalan Bersatu, Seksyen 13 PJ
Pakcik Teksi : Ok..

Sepanjang perjalanan tu, Pakcik ni sangat peramah. Macam2 dia cerita. Dalam hatiku, ok jugak pakcik ni. Bila mau sampai, dia kata tempat tu susah mo cari teksi. Dia offer utk tunggu tapi kena tambah RM10. Tapi saya kata saya tak pasti berapa lama.. may be 15 minit, maybe lagi lama. Sampai di company yg last ni, telefon pulak flat. Ndak dpt call student. So, try asking the receptionist. Dia pun kata tak da nama tu kerja kat company tu. Saya minta tolong dia check kat HR coz I come all the way from SABAH to meet the student. Dengan muka menyampah dia pun check dengan HR. Boleh pulak dia kata saya dari Sarawak bila dia call HR. Saya pun tunggu. 10 minit. 15 minit. 20 minit. Tanya lagi. Dia kata kena tunggu HR check baru tau. 30 minit saya tunggu. I tried my phone, manage to tekan no. student tu before the phone flat. Luckily, student tu turun n check me at the lobby.

Sambung cerita pakcik teksi.

Bila sudah habis jumpa student, saya tinguk driver teksi tu masih ada. Dia kata lama dia tunggu. Saya pun crita lah serba sedikit. Bila sampai di hotel.

Pakcik teksi : Ok semuanya RM 35.
Misako : Aaa?? Tadi kata tambah RM10 saja.
Pakcik Temahak : Ya, kalau tunggu 15 minit tambah RM10.. ni tunggu dekat 1 jam.
Misako : (Boleh pulak macam tu, tadi ndak pun dia cakap) Mana boleh macam tu en. Macamana boleh jadi 35?
Pakcik temahak : Kena tambah RM25. jadi semuanya 35 lah.
Misako : (Gerammnyaaa... penipu punya pakcik). Minta resit.
Pakcik bikin panas : Alaa.. resit baru jer habis. Nanti mintak jer dengan teksi lain.
Misako : Sudah lah mahal, tak der resit pulak tu. (Bayar tambang sambil geleng kepala)

Haii.. memang aku sudah kena kencheng..Kurang asam punya driver teksi!

KL Trip

The last time my family and I went to KL was 3 years ago. That time we only have my Danish and Nurul. I am not expecting to face challenges in handling Danial on flight from KK to KL, but I was wrong. He did not want to sleep, nor sit calmly. During the take-off, he refuse to fasten his seat belt. As usual I gave them some drinks and milk, so that their ear can balance the air pressure during the take-off. The fasten-your-seatbelt-light was still on, but Danial wanted to go to hubby's seat which was at the other side of the aisle. Trying to calm him, I found some aeroplane pics from the inflight magazine. But not so long, he got down and sat at the aisle instead. I tried not to make him upset, or it will be troublesome to stop him from his usual tantrum. Luckily hubby bought some potato chips. So he munch them quietly. After that he was climbing the seat to see the boys at the back seat. Malas mo gaduh2, so I just let him standing on the seat.

We reach at the airport around 7.45 pm, and straight away to the taxi counter. The cashier girl said we need to take two cab because there are 5 of us. It cost us RM138. Bagus lagi naik hotel coach. Reach the hotel at 9 pm. Kiddos too tired to go to pasar malam, so cancelled the plan. Sampai bilik terus flat.

FunTastica!

If you were there, you would agree with me. At first, I were really worried that the reunion dinner will be quiet, boring and dull. It turned out to be absolutely the opposite. It was fun, exciting, full of laughter and memorable. Thanks to Adlin and Nurul. You both were the backbone. Nurul, you really make the dinner lively. Many thanks to friends that supporting the event. Although it was not as big as we wanted, but for me that was more than successful.
After 15 years leaving UKMS Matriculation, most of my friends look more gorgeous and beautiful. They are still the same, funny and full of interesting idea.

An entry from my dear Roomate here.

for the rest pics,you need to join our xUKMS FB group laa..

According to Adlin, Dr. D is asking for the next reunion! Good luck for the future organizer.

Mate forever!

I am on leave today, but still in the office with my kiddos. Why? Need to settle things before the LI visit next week. Need to finish marking the exam answer script (PLUMS) and key in the marks. Hope I can finish it by today.

This afternoon, I will fetch my mate (shorties for room mate) and her family at the airport. She will be here for the xUKMS reunion dinner tomorrow night. The last time I met her was 6-7 years back. During that time, I went to Kuching for 3 weeks training. We went to her parents house, makan2, and jalan2 around Kuching. Do you still remember it, mate?

She was my room mate during my matriculation at UKMS Menggatal campus. Although we only spent 1 year to know each other, it was like I know her for life! We went through good and sad memories. We share the same principles and at the same time fought for our own thought. Learn together and in the same KK1, also in the same study group. We went to jog together, lunch, dinner, and diet .. together. It is like a video tape playing in my head, right now. I really miss the memories.

Now after more than 10 years, we are about to meet again, with other xUKMS. I have a mixed feeling. Happy, excited, nervous and macam2. Hopefully I still can recognize you, mate. See you at the airport!

Bowling anyone?

After several years (more than a decade!), I went to bowl with my siblings and our ayah. I am not good at bowling, not even moderate. Asyik2 masuk longkang. But, this time it was special coz my ayah also join us. It was really fun. The cheering up, the excitement, the satisfaction. Next time, I will try to minimize the 'longkang' version.

After that we headed to Gerai Ikan Bakar at Sim-Sim. The fish was tasty and fresh. Reasonable price. Boleh lah..

By the way,

Mom went to Kuala Terengganu for Girl Guide's Symposium.

Tin Anniversary

It has been 10 years... Thanks for sharing your life with me, hubby. Will love you.. forever.
