Day 10~~~ SoMeTHiNg I MaDe...

Salam...

Today's story, Something I made.......

Not much...

I've made a few paintings...

And I've made a few clothes, mostly were Malaysian traditional clothes such as 'baju kebaya', 'baju kurung' but most of them are in Malaysia, only these three that I brought here with me. You know, for Eid celebration, or 'kenduri' or anything like that..

That dark blue 'kebaya' is among the earliest (I made that when I was about 19 or 20 years old) and has always been my favorite, and once after I gave birth to Afeef, I had put on weight that I couldn't fit into it any more and it was so frustrating to look at it but couldn't wear it. It has always been my motivation to lose weight since then.

My mom was the one who taught me how to make my own clothes, she taught me how to sew, back then I also made long dresses and long skirts other than Malaysian traditional clothes (",)

I kinda miss sewing (",)

Ok, that's all for now.. Maybe I'll make something more in the future (",)

Till tomorrow, salam...

"MoBiLe" PhOnE...

Have u ever experienced this? :

Your hubby keeps callin you thru your "mobile" phone, but couldn't get thru to you because you didn't hear the ringing, because you've inadvertantly left your "mobile" phone inside the bedroom, while u 're in the living room...

And his messages went unnoticed because you were too busy with house chorus, or too busy blogging, or facebooking or whatever huhu...

So he got home feeling annoyed because his important messages went unread and his calls went unanswered, and that those lists of missed calls on your "mobile" phone from him went unreturned...

And he tried his best to hide his annoyance by putting a fake smile on his face hehe..

And you feel terribly guilty bout it...

And yet, can't help it, the same thing happens again, over and over again huhuhu...

I know, it's my fault!

The phone is "mobile", I should carry it with me everywhere I go, and I did take innitiatives like, I wore a top with a pocket, so I could put the phone in it, it worked out fine.. but then again, couldn't help it, I needed to charge it, and the charger was placed inside the bedroom... 

Errrr, bole terima ke alasan tu?

I had once took the charger and placed it on the living room table, but... Haaiiihhh, it went back to the bedroom... Huhu.. It's my fault jugak, tetibe nak charge phone masa nak tido huhu..

And, in the end, I wished for all the silly things like, they should have invented a solar phone which will be charged automatically, mmmmmm but then again my phone will be dead all the time during Winter :P

And I wished for a charger with a long wire so I could plug-in the charger, connect it to my phone, and put the phone in my pocket and drag the wire everywhere I go in the house yihaaaa!!

That way I won't miss a call!!

But, gile ape, trsadung pulak wire tu kat kaki Aleena or Fatini yg suke lari2 dlm rumah ni... ***sigh**

Nevertheless, Hubby said, I should take my mobile phone as seriously as my iPad or my Piano...

Then, it hits me!!

Maybe I would do that to iPhone 5, oooooopppppssssss!!!

Hehehe!! Just kidding!!

Errrrrrr..... Ke nanti ade parcel mystery lagi??? Hehehe..

Day 9~~~ FaCeLeSs SeLf PoRTRaiT....

@Interlaken Switzerland (",)

Till tomorrow,

Salam...

My Country and Their Country...

I know today is suppose to be my 'Faceless self portrait day' but, can I just write about something else before I get to my 9th day of a Photo challenge entry?

Just a short one, ( oh I hope so!!! )

I've just read the news, about Toll charges on the Kesas Highway will be reduced from midnight monday.... Mmmmmm its's a good news I supposed, but....

I was a little surprised when I learnt that the toll charges were to have been raised in the beginning, and the Prime Minister decided against it because it would place a financial burden on the people. 

mmmmmmmm... yeah, I appreciate the effort the Government has made, but I can't help this tiny tiny intuition that this is all just an agenda for the upcoming election hehe.. 

So my guess would be, if there's no upcoming election, then the toll charges would have been raised!

Everything just keep rising in Malaysia!

How about the rise in number of people with good attitude?

mmmmmm... let me tell you something about German people attitude, for example German drivers.. 

We've been driving on the highways here in Deutschland for several times, we've rented a car a few times as well, and the longest journey we've made was from Germany to Austria. 

What I've learnt was that, Germany Expressways are free from toll. 

Yessss free! 

It's a state-owned "free" roads, financed by taxes. Well, it's no surprise then, Germany is the world's third largest exporter! HERE. 

And, having had the experience travelling on the road myself, I concluded that the roads are superbly designed, built and maintained and the drivers are well-trained and cooperative too. 

And, about 2/3 of the highways network has no speed limit, Yes, NO SPEED LIMIT, although there's always an advisory limit of 130km/h. 

So I've been on these highways with no speed limit, and I've noticed just how some cars were barely a blur as they whiz by, and yet despite the prevailing high speeds, the accident, injury and death rates on the Highways are remarkably low. 

Why??

Attitude.. 

Drivers attitude.

In this case, I have to say, Malaysian drivers are way way behind as compared to the German drivers...

mmmmmm..

I don't mean to condemn people in my own country, but I think Germany is an examplary model for all developing countries including Malaysia, rite?

Take this for an example, I rarely have to stop and wait until no cars passing by just to get across the road, but, they would stop instead and wait for me to get across... always always... (",)

I'll miss this someday...

Yes I will..

Day 8~~~~ TeChNoLoGy...

Salam...

Today's story, Technology..

Not much to tell, only that, I think the latest technology in my life now is...

 iPad la kot...

I've benefited so much from it, and I concluded that iPad is one kind of technology that has made my life so much easier.

For instance, reciting the Quran is so much easier now, not only the Quran itself, the translation is also available, together with a voice that recites every single Surah, just click and there you go.. 

The best part is, you have the whole Quran with you in just a tiny, thin book that you can carry anywhere, everywhere, and you can also enlarge the writings, listen to the correct way of reciting it, with backlights which means you can also recite the Quran in the dark.

Cool rite? 

And what else? Oh wow, Iqra' series pun ada.. (",)

It's soooo much easier to teach the kids nowadays. 

Kalau dulu bukak rehal, Quran, buku iqra' dan sebagainye, sekarang bukak iPad je la, and tiap2 hari berebut-rebut la sape mengaji dulu hehe..

And what's more, iBooks!!!!

 You can have the whole favorite book of yours in here, and the best part is, you can read in the dark!!

When everyone's asleep, and you need to stay up and read,  you can just do so without having to turn on the bed side lamp, that way, no one will be disturbed from their sleep (",)

Best kan?

But for this part, I still prefer real books hehe.. 

I kinda enjoy going to MPH and any other book stores and search for a nice books, rather than just buying them online mmmmm...

And.....

Despite all these advantages and benefits we've obtained from technology, technology also drives us apart...

Oh my...

(",)

Till tomorrow...
