something wrong somewhere ne??

This post might have a different impact on different readers.The outcome from the reading of this post might be..i myself don't how it will turn out..haha.Thank You for reading.Here we go~

Two friends in a room.one trying to calm down the other who can not face the reality that the one that he once love are going to be married with another person:

PEMUJUK:Aish.aku tau persaan sedih ang punya la bergelora bak ombak kat laut Cina Selatan masa Monsoon Cup.Nape la ang p ada perasaan kat dia lagi.dah-dah la tu dia tu akan jadi bini orang.atohai-atohai.

EMO GUY:Aku tak boleh control feeling kalo bab-bab cinta ne.Especially ngan dia tu.Kalo aku tau ada orang nak g tunang dia.Aku g rumah dia masa kat tempat dia hari tu cakap perasaan aku yang sebenar kat family dia.Pastu Tunang ngan dia baru best.

PEMUJUK:Tak guna menyesal bak kata orang puteh there's no use crying over a split milk.Betul la Islam suruh approch family dulu kalo berkenan kat seseorang.Ikat Kontrak yang sah yang diredhai Allah.Couple-couple,monkey-monkey love ne semua ibarat kontrak tak sah tahu tak?

EMO GUY:Kau ne nak pujuk aku ka?atau nak bagi aku lagi sedih ne..huhu

PEMUJUK:Aku pun tak tahu.Ang member aku,at least aku try la nak be there for you la kan.

EMO GUY:Selalunye bila aku teringat kat dia aku kat buat benda pelik-pelik nak alih perhatian aku cam buat tarian Oppa Gangnam Style, buat tarian KARA-Mister yang bontot goyang2 tu,Tengok Family outing,Layan lagu Big Bang,Gelakan parody raya perempuan yang pakai lagu Big Bang,Tengok dinding,deactivate FB pastu activate balik,membayangkan diri main air guitar dan macam-macam lagi la.

PEMUJUK:Ang ne mesti ada something wrong somewhere ne..(berjalan perlahan2 kebelakang gaya2 moonwalk dan meninggalkan bilik)

-TAMAT-

Topics during an Open House

Open house is a very rare tradition that can only be seen during the festive season in Malaysia(i herd that the government are going to have tax exemption for those who are having an open house this idea sounds very stupid la)the idea is to open your house or welcome to any visitors to your house.Mountain of food are the norm during the occasion.Another thing about an open house if you go to any of your former high school mate open house, you will eventually bump with most of your friends from school days.It seems to be like a little mini reunion where conversation will start by each and every one of us.Actually i am not much of a talker because when i talk it seems i will have a little awkward moment and also i am very passive person.What are the topics of conversation during my last open house:

  1. U-life,what course are you taking,How is life in a foreign country.Most of my batch from my school are doing engineering and also some or two pursuing medic.I think i am the only one from my school who are pursuing my study in environmental sciences.It seems to me maybe i should have consider in taking all of the critical courses(medic,engineering)but i do enjoy my environmental course very much.I will try my best to go with the flow and succeed in my field.
  2. Food,this topic usually come up during eating.The food is sedap la.You have to try this.Can not la takut nek body weight la.I like to eat especially a new dish that i have not tried before.Actually eating at an open house help me to get away from having a conversation.(anti-social alert)
  3. The way you look.How much have you change.haha.Some of my friends told me i do look different during my school days.Even to the extend of comparing me with Korean Artist tau.haha.(Super perasan alert)
  4. Marriage.He is going to be married.She is going to be married.I actually have a stereotype that if you are studying in the middle east country,you will eventually get married at a very young age.(stereotype alert).There are even who are married at my age that are already having a baby.This topic really makes me wonder,when will i be matured enough to get married.Do i have the qualification  to be a husband and a dad.Agama u k dah ka? to raise a family.haha.pening2.later la benda kahwin2 ne.(avoiding a topic alert!!)
Open house should actually welcome any person to a house.I think it will be even better if you invite children from an orphanage to an open house.This can be a sort of charity and getting to know others occasion.

Raya at Uncle Najib's house

This is Uncle Najib

It is the 1st day of Syawal,Uncle Najib and his cabinets decided to have an open house at his home.He welcome many people from far and near to that event.Uncle Najib house is so big it is like a castle with a super huge park,a golf course and the best part is his house is opposite a lake.There were many people during the open house.It was like a sea of people with the scorching weather.Sounds like a day at a beach right?It is like a day at a beach but without the ocean and you were in a Baju Melayu which is super panas dowh.Things that happen during Uncle Najib's open house:

A picture at Uncle Najib's golf course
  1. I met Dr Ferdius(my lecturer in UPM) and her family which were about to leave the open house.I saw them after Ali(my brother) and I escape from the queue to meet Uncle Najib in his house.The queue was super duper tahap gaban lompat-lompat sampai ke bulan(a super hyperbolic expression) crowded.Imagine being surrounded by people without little space to move and when the queue move forward we have to walk little by little like penguin.Actually the experience is really rare to me.Looking at the bright side,at least i have the opportunity to be in a big crowd although i did not get a chance to see Uncle Najib Yet.
  2.  I saw many wastage of food.I think this is very common especially during big occasion like this but people should be more cautious about this and think about the amount of food that you take, think before you eat.Another thing is that the usage of polystyrene which i think is not very environmental friendly.Later i will talk to Uncle Douglas Unggah(Minister for Natural Resources and Environment)about implementing a more environmental friendly set of disposable plate throughout Malaysia.Although the effect can not be seen today it will really have an impact to the future generation.Haris Hilman you are a very good environmental student.hoho.
  3. Perut sudah buncit because i think i eat banyak kot but still i am hungry.
  4. During our walk to leave Uncle Najib's house we got the chance to see him driving a buggy with Uncle Mahathir besides him.I don't know la,at first i feel very excited but after seeing him what is there to be excited about he is just a normal human being who leads Malaysia je.

Shopping with girls

Most men do not like to be drag around a shopping mall,having to follow girls to watch they shop for girl stuff,having to carry their bag is just nightmare to them.Personally I just love to shop but i do not like to buy things, It seems that when i buy things i will be torn apart whether the things that i am going to buy is useful or not and i will end up not buying it.haha.Actually I shop because of the experience.Being able to get along especially with girls is very new to me considering i am the eldest of three brothers in my family(my mom is the only girl in my family)You will actually learn a lot from shopping with girls.

This are some of the things that I learn from shopping with girls :

  1. First thing that i notice when i go out with girls,is that shopping is just like a fun fair for them.The feeling of being able to go to a shopping mall which is full of shoes is just heaven.I think the display in the shopping mall is the main reason for  the attraction(even i sometimes loves to see variety of shoes which are nicely arranged in a shop). The display which is nicely set really attract people.Maybe this is part of the marketing strategy.We can see how a shop set up a place in order to attract customers.I think for those who are in marketing business a shopping trip with girls will help them in their future career.
  2. You will learn how to give comments.Sometimes a girl will ask you your opinion about something that she picks from a shop.Without realizing, we are actually appointed as a judge.Ever seen those reality singing show with three judges in front of them?Now you are actually in the judges seat.Is like a one in a life time experience,it is not like everyday that you get a chance to be a judge.In this situation it is best to be neutral or may be a slight bit humorous.
  3. There are some girls who does not like to shop.They prefer to go to the arcade,bowling alley and watch movies.The stereotype that girls love to shop only apply to certain of them, that is why it is called a stereotype.
  4. Girls shoes are very interesting.They come up in many different shape and style.I even develop an interest in girls shoes after going out with some of my friends.haha.cam weird je kan.
Ballet flats kan nama kasut ne?i love seeing girls that wear this kind of shoes.gile stalker aq ne.
This post is based on my personal experience.It does not refer to all girls in the world.One thing that i really like to say is enjoy the little things in life.Shopping with girls whether she is your friend,your spouse,siblings or even your mom is just part of little wonder that makes life special.This little things should be treasure.Life is short,you never know how long you will live.

Weekday boost


And if I make it through today
Will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place
And if I stumble and I fall
Should I get up and carry on
Will it all just be the same



Good Charlotte-The Young & The Hopeless



Almost Raya la!

I think this year raya might be a bit different.Usually my family will go balik kampung to Terengganu but it seems that due to SPM trial we may be having our raya in Bangi (to be exact our 2nd time celebrating raya in Bangi).Honestly,I prefer to celebrate raya in Bangi because I was brought up here in Bangi and I consider Bangi as my hometown.Still It will be lovely to celebrate raya with all of my relatives in Terengganu.

What to expect in this year raya:
  1. Mama is not going to bake any kuih raya because she will be tired after making the kuih and it seems easier to just buy kuih raya at the shop.There are no girls in my family except my mom, maybe mama have no one she can spend time talking and doing girl stuff.(Don't worry mama someday i will find a wife that you can talk girl stuff with and both of you can bake together).Though i love to watch people bake,i really do not know how to bake.If given a chance i really like to learn how to bake. 
  2. New Baju raya after 10 years of the same old baju melayu Johor.This year I decided it is time for me to try the cekak musang one(nak rasa cam pengantin la katakan).Actually my family are not really into buying new baju raya every year.If the shirt still fit,no need to buy a new one, that is our motto for every raya.This cekak musang will last another 10 years in my closet or maybe even longer.Thank you Daddy for the cekak musang.
  3. Kahwin.haha.Just kidding.All of my brothers seems to get older by the year,still we behave like little children.I also just love behaving like a child but still i ada hati nak kahwin.haha.The bad news is if you kahwin you will not get duit raya instead you will be giving duit raya to others.I think i have to think about this kahwin stuff later la kot.
I actually do not mind how my raya is,how much duit raya i get,adakah miss A akan buat kuih with my mom someday(this i do mind and i really hope it comes true one day,merapu suadah).For me the most important thing in Raya is having families together.I think I will feel a bit weird celebrating raya without any of my close siblings(especially the anok2 Mak Su).

To my future wife this is my favorite kuih(kuih keria)
p/s:Aiyoo..this post is really rojak one..Macam la your future wife baca blog ne..tak yah nak mimpi la manXD

Mr.Brightside?

So much for the title Mr. Brightside, ironically my blog seems to focus on the problem of things rather than the bright side of a problem.Actually the name of my blog came from a song by a band named The Killers called Mr. Brightside.I actually loved the song i played it many times and also the name seems very catchy.I even use Brightside as my last name in my Facebook name.There is nothing really behind the name of my blog, It is just something that i find interesting and the name really makes me wonder.

Is there such a thing as a 'Mr Brightside'?

If you read the name there will come a thought the person must be a super positive person and he will always find a silver lining to a stormy cloud.In reality,we tend to be attracted to one person problem rather than their good qualities.The negative stuff is easier to remember than the positive stuff.I think we should get a glance of the problem,if there is a solution execute it gradually.Trouble is a friend sounds like the title of a song and i also like to add that negative thought is also a friend.Friends are not perfect,nobody is perfect but each and every one of us has a 'Mr. Brightside' in ourselves.Together as friends(trouble and negative thougths) we can help each other to overcome every obstacle(this part seems to have a very deep meaning).If I am not mistaken,Islam also teaches us to always have a positive thought towards a person regardless of their background

Kedah Darul Aman

During my placement test in British Council,There was an essay question which ask us to write about a place that we once visited and the duration was only 20 minutes.I wrote about Terengganu and i did not finish it because it seems that the time limit is very limited.The points are all in my mind but it seems hard to put it in words for a period of 20 minutes.Thinking about the situation,I should have wrote about Kedah instead of Terengganu which i find it more interesting.

Kedah Darul Aman located at the northern region of Malaysia is well known as the rice bowl of Malaysia.The first time i went there i found out that the the feeling of  love to just stay there and not to go back to KL.I went to Kedah by train which takes a longer time about 8 or 9 hours like that,but for those that really love to take their sweet time and in no rush a train is really the best option to travel.

First of all when you reach the place,you will find that the breathtaking scenery of paddy fields.Most of my life i live in a place which you can say a city with less numbers of greenery. Being able to feel the clear air accompanied by the green surrounding is really something precious and new for me.

Another thing about Kedah is that I find that the place is very laid back if compared to KL.There is no rush in doing things and people seems to enjoy their life.I think i prefer to live in a more quiet village than in a hustle city.

A funny thing about my trip to kedah,I did the usual stuff that people do when they go out.I went there as a teenage who are trying to have fun play bowling,watch movies and even take a nap instead of a tourist who wants to know more about the place.No wonder that i did not see much of the culture in Kedah.

I just love people from Kedah,It seems that the place is the gathering of interesting and friendly people.Our 1st and 4th prime minister are from Kedah and they really contribute a lot to Malaysia.
I once fell in love with a girl from Kedah and long story short she is now my very best friend.Most of the Kedah girls that i know are very cute,lovable and very fair(merapu dah).One day i really like to find myself a wife from Kedah and we will stay near a paddy field happily ever after(ke laut2).

my daddy and marriage

 
This is some of the qualities that really shows my dad:

Keeping quiet is better than nonsense:Daddy,like my mama always said is quiet and tend to keep something to himself rather than telling others.There was once when he achieved a great position,yet all of his relatives do not know about it including me.I only know about his position when i saw some pamphlet about soil convention or something.It seems that i unconsciously follow this quality the most.


Determination:It seems that my daddy loves to work.Sometimes he even go to work on Saturday.I think this is utmost things about my dad's quality.I got a bit of this quality but sometimes i just drift away when i am planning in doing something.

  
Simple and practical:My dad and my mom got married in the US.The reception was so simple.They have their akad nikah and a bit of makan-makan with some friends,and that is it.My parents wedding reception are really different if compared to most of the Malays.Malays wedding tend to have bersanding, hantaran and those sort of stuff.At first i thought that my dad is just lazy to get in those stuff but actually he is truly following the Islamic way in getting married.Most of our society got mix between what should we really do and just plain culture which sometimes contradict with Islam.I have nothing against culture as matter of fact i even learn to play the Kompang during my second year in UPM.Culture shows the identity of a society.

There are much more of my dad in me that even i did not notice.Actually the third point is what i really want to talk about(maybe on the next post).Simple and practical marriage according to Islam.The reason why i am interested in this topic because i am reading a story called Cinta SMS by Aiman Azlan in his blog.

Aiman Azlan:listed as top10 Malaysian v-logger


My dad really shows me how life is and every little things he does have a reason behind it.The funny thing about the above picture is,actually Aiman Azlan do have the same looks as my dad with the beard and spec.coincidence kot.

p/s:do try to visit Aiman Azlan Blog and V-log.

a letter to 30 years old self

Hello there my 30 years old self.First of all,I really hope that you are working right now preferably at the Northern region of Malaysia and it will be lovely if you are staying in Kedah right now.You might have moved out of your parents home and decided to move to Kedah in a rental house which soon will be bought by you using your income.Any house near a paddy field will do.


Your Myvi might still be your car that you use to get around.There might be a slight change at the car.You might already put some stickers on it,the one which have many cartoon characters on it(side mirror and bumper)still you love your myvi no matter what.I think you should get another two cars(Suzuki Swift and another one big car)so that all of your family can fit in there.


Marriage.hmm.Maybe if you are lucky and things goes as what you always said in your doa.Miss A might be your lovely wife(berangan,blushing kot).If not any girl you are compatible with will do,don't be so picky.Remember to always implement Islam in life, teach your family to make Islam as their way of life.Love them and always be there for your children.


And if the above does not show how you are.You most likely still a student pursuing postgraduate study in anything related to environment preferably on climate and atmospheric science.If you are in the US good job for you in being able to study abroad and if in Malaysia also good job in being able to further your study.


The most important thing of all,please be a good Muslim.Follow the teaching of Islam no matter what happen to you.InsyaAllah every things going to be alright.

Kedah is the place to be for me

p/s:I got the idea of writing a letter to my future self while watching 'How I met your Mother' season 5 episode 10.HIMYM shows me many interesting and different perspective in life.Thank you Marshall for the idea.

Yours Truly,

21 years old you
