Cikgu, sila beratur!
Hari ni barisan nak bayar makanan kat kantin panjang. Ada sorang dua nyelit masa aku beratur. Aku tahan nafas amarah. Tak semua cikgu ni civilised rupenye (masa tu cikgu laki).
Kemudian time aku nak letak pinggan, nak amek duit dari purse DP kesayanganku itu, adalah hamba Allah ni (kaum Adam juga la~) cuba meletakkan pinggan dengan kernyihan (sengih tahap busuk) di muka. Aku cakap dengan nada yang tegas “no2. i queue. this is my queue”. pastuh mamat kerang tu pun kernyih lagi sambil tunggu tepi aku. “tade2. that’s the queue”. maka dia pun dengan menurut titah perintah aku, beratur dengan baiknya. alhamdulillah. setel.
ada pulak lagi sorang makcik tibe2 datang nyelit nak baya. aku slow talk dengan kakak kantin:
Aku: Lain kali jangan layan orang yang tak beratur neh.
Kakak: Alaa nak buat macam mana. Derang memang camnie (eh! aku pun nak bagi korang duit gak pe!)
Aku: Ape pulak kak. Ni institut perguruan.(sambil memandang sinis makcik itu)
[makcik tu pun rasa bersalah dan terkulat-kulat dok kat meja tu]
Maka aku rasa entry aku yang lepas tak berapa relevan zaman sekarang. Walaupun makcik tu dah berzaman mengajar, lagi senior dari aku, ade ke she’s being a teacher when she’s in teaching institute? Cikgu ke perangai memotong barisan? Korang ingat korang je ke yang lapar? Korang ingat korang je yang ada duit nak bayar? Excuse me! Obeying queue line is a sign of civilisation and moral.
Mungkin selama ni takde orang nak tegur derang pasal perangai huduh derang ni. Macam ni ke cikgu? Puhleaseeee!! Dengan aku siap la kau. Pasni kalau aku ada payung masa beratur, mungkin aku akan menggunakan ia sebagai teaching aid. Bagaimana aku akan menggunakannnya? Terpulang kepada situasi.
World book day
Today is World Book Day. I still remember that I used to collect loads of World Book Day postcard in MARJON, and sent some to Malaysia (It’s frolicking free!! 😀 I only need to pay 47 pence for the stamp!). One of my suggestion to my mak is Roald Dahl. But obviously, my mom does not read in English. But yeah, I still bug her to read good books. I hope the books that I presented to her has been read. *cross fingers*
This year, I’m celebrating World Book Day in Malaysia. I miss cheap good books in the UK. I wish Malaysia have Amazon.com (I know that Ujana Ilmu is almost similar but still, not a vast variety of books), carboot sale, book depository and friendly small local book store (they read before they sell).
Just now one of my friends [let’s name her adik] told me of her suggestion to do book fair in my college. She went to the library, asking the librarian to help her in the project. However, she was disappointed with the respond given.
“1- Cadangan adik tu bagus tapi adik boleh tengok berapa ramai je yang datang library ni pinjam buku. Akak boleh tunjuk muka mana yang selalu pinjam buku. Akak boleh hafal nama lagi.”
“2- Kakak library: [The librarian shows a French story book] Adik tahu harga ni berapa? Cuba adik teka?
Adik: Urm, tatau. Kalau kat Malaysia, belas-belas la kot?
Kakak library: Satu ni RM70. Daripada adik nak buat pesta buku, baik adik suruh budak² ni disiplin. Buku banyak yang kehilangan muka surat. Kena conteng.”
“Adik susah la. Publisher takmau datang bila kita cakap bilangan student kat sini berapa.”
“[After Adik showed a dissappointed face] Akak tahu cadangan adik tu bagus, tapi hakikatnya memang payah”
Hwargh. I seriously could not imagine what would I feel if I were in Adik’s shoes. Never mind adik! I will support you 110%. I somehow feel embarrassed with Malaysian’s reading habit. I believe that “you are what you read”. Reading builds foundation for your thinking. I know the fact that reading Roadl Dahl’s books has made me become a person who think out of the box. I am not ordinary. I am not a commoner. I am odd and special. I thank Roadl Dahl for stimulating my brain to be a creative and imaginative thinker. I thank God for creating Roadl Dahl and gave him inspiration to inspire others.
In the end, adik decided to do “Used books sale”. Much practical and will not waste much money. No publisher will take high risk and everyone will be happy. AND, it saves trees too! I hope many people will participate and interested to sell and buy books.
Happy world book day!!
Kocoh-kocoh
“jarang benar blog Ainee diupdate sekarang ni”
Semenjak dari bulan lepas, tak banyak masa diluangkan untuk menenangkan fikiran (beriadah, membaca buku, bermain game, menggunakan aplikasi Y! Messenger). Sebenarnya, tiada masa berehat. Kalau penat sangat, tiada kudrat, tidur. Memang tiada peluang memanjakan diri. Movie pun tak habis tengok lagi. Tergantung dari minggu lepas.
Bulan ini sahaja, tiap² minggu perlu submit assignment. Immune badan mulai lemah. Asyik tak sihat. Berapa kali mau ke dokter. Otak ni pun dah penat. Penat berjaga, penat berfikir. Bukan sedikit jumlah perkataan yang perlu ditulis. Paling sedikit dua ribu. Refleksi lagi. Rujukan lagi. Aduh.
Inilah serba sedikit escapism dari dunia saya yang sibuk. Memang lain benar dengan budaya MARJON yang memberi assignment sebulan sekali. Examination pun adalah dalam dua tiga kali, itu pun dalam masa dua tahun. God help me!!
*sikit lagi nak gila*

Universiti Malaya dan Lembah Pantai
Salam. Agak terkejut bila membaca berita tentang perancangan untuk memindahkan lokasi Universiti Malaya. Ikut aku berhijrah jugak ke? Berita lanjut boleh dibaca di sini.
In my opinion (tidak mewakili mana-mana pihak melainkan diri saya sendiri), these are the disadvantages for UM if they decide to move to a new place: Continue reading

Tonight I helped akak kemas her stuffs which will be shipped to Malaysia. Whew, now i believe her utmost quotation:
Do not touch. Messiness is a sign of genius. Tidying up could impact negatively on my mental development.
So, I learned that if you want to move out, make sure there are enough bin bags, so that you won’t run out of any while you’re trying to get of the unwanted stuffs. I don’t know. I can’t think too. Haih. Glad for the good news akak. I’m going to miss your presence too. All you have to do now is prepare mentally for the worse and worst of IPBA. Jetlag, everything-is-broken hostel and _____________ (can’t think the appropiate adjective) IPBA’s HEP (Student affair department). OK. OK. 2 am now actually. Time to go to sleep. Selamat berkemas ek akak. Sorry can’t help you to the end.
Guess what, it really gave a negative impact on my mind. Huhuh. Need to write about my itenerary actually.
