Closing Post : Reflection and Christmas Wishes

Hello dear blog and readers (if there's anyone reading/following my post *thanks a lot*).

Holiday mood already activated. This is my last day working for the year 2015. Yay!

And most probably this is my last post for this year. Taking a 'blog hiatus' for few weeks, mybe a month..haha this blog need a break too. 

Guess 'he' maybe tired with some of my crappy entry..lol.

Hmmm looking back throughout my 2015 archive..and I pat myself on the back because there are still some significant stories..ahhh for the suck/crappy entry, I wont regret for writing/posting it.

It's my thought anyway and here is my platform to express myself, my thought, my mind.

I write for myself. For my reflection and inspiration. But deep in my heart I hope that I could inspire others.

So, I'll keep blogging! haha next year will be another room for improvement. And there's always something to improve. Yeah, that's the spirit!

So, guys here I summarize my favorite and most significant (might no for you, but YES for Me) post throughout this year :  

January 2015 - it's hard and stressful but I manage to keep smiling

February 2015 -  How far I've been traveled, yet there was still so much more to explore!

April 2015  - Most significant event at Di Kampung

  June 2015 - Tragic moment of Mount Kinabalu and the Sabahan. I only could offer my prayer. 

July 2015 - 1 - Another reflection for me, the Orang Kampung.

July 2015 -2 - The most memorable and priceless experience this year.

 August 2015- I will never forget this month. My heart flooded with love ♥.

September 2015, Engagement - Sea of love. I'm engaged! ♥

November 2015 - Extreme adventure!

...................and December is a month of reflection, though I didn't share most of it here/in my previous post.

This year have been a great experience for me. Next year might be the challenging one. But, who knows...perhaps, it might be the most exciting years. Mysteries of life; the future.

Anyway, have a wonderful day ahead beautiful people.

Happy holiday!

Best wishes for Christmas and prosperous happy new year!

aahhhh can't wait for Christmas ♥. Joy to the world!

#I wonder napa tiada kemeriahan Krimas disiarkan di Local (Malaysian) tv/radio, tidak seperti dahulu kala. Silver bells, jingle bells song...Christmas tree..hmmm seems like our local media are banned from promoting/celebrating Christmas. Tsk..tsk my nation ill already. Lord, heal our land!

Apa pun, sini Sabah tatap meriah juga...apa lagi kalau sudah balik kampung.

☃☃❄❄♫♪ Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way♫♪ ☃❄

Merry Christmas! ♥

See you next year bloggers!

One Steps Closer : The E-Day ♥

Basi punya cerita lagi. (^.^')

The E-day...

My dress.

See my adik, sangat bersemangat mau tolong deco the background. ^_^ 

A Day before...

Sempat lagi pigi cari buah ^^

..............................

Petangnya all the tompinai (Aunt/Uncle/cousin) datang rumah tolong masak, potong sayur & daging.

Haha yang lain datang warming up punya party ('^^)...huhu belum sampai majlis sudah moginum, nasib baik sikit2 saja..biasa la kalau orang kampung ni. hehe

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Finally, my super simple kampung style punya E-day ♥♥ 

The Dusun E-Day culture :

1. Perbincangan mengenai berian/hantaran/belanja dapur sekiranya belum dibincang masa merisik. Kalau mau majlis cepat and lancar, lagi bagus bincang semua masa merisik. Then, ketua kampung akan terangkan mengenai adat/sogit. Sogit ni banyak jenis aa. Memang la maksud dia denda/penalti/peace sign. Tapi kalau dalam pertunangan/perkahwinan sogit ni banyak jenis la. Kalau dalam kami punya kes, sogit pitokinan dorang bilang. Because my tunang from semenanjung, so perlu sogit ini diberi sebagai tanda kesatuan kedua-dua belah keluarga walaupun dari adat/tempat/bangsa yang berbeza. 

2. Ketua kampung akan bagi advise kepada pasangan tentang do and don't dalam/selama tempoh bertunang. For example, xboleh tinggal sama2/tunang bukan satu geran untuk hidup sebagai suami isteri.

3. Jika kedua-dua pihak sudah setuju dengan jumlah berian/belanja dapur dan juga sogit yang perlu dijalankan, isi borang perjanjian tunang. Lepas borang complete, baca semula apa yang tertulis dalam borang. Kalau teda apa-apa bantahan atau perubahan, selesai sudah loor.

4. Hantaran bertukar tangan.

5. Sarung cincin. Siap!

Oya, bagi kami yang beragama Kristian Katolik akan ada juga nasihat-nasihat yang diberi oleh pemimpin gereja.

Lagi untuk memeriahkan majlis, buat juga la acara potong kek, suap-suap kek (haha), makan/minum and of course ARAMAI TIE! ^___^

Band pun kampung-kampung saja...

hehe asal ada 3 gitar, boleh jalan sudah nyanyi2 and menari-nari..And paling penting mesti ada tu lihing/tapai. uuppps..haha

Behind the scene :

Budak nakal yang memeriahkan majlis.

  Yang lain teda dalam gambar lorr. 

Apa pun thanks a lot kepada semua yang tolong buat kerja/tolong makan/tolong minum ~ Without you guys, the party wont be that awesome and meaningful day for us (cp dengan ikhlas...ngeee)

bye. Jumpa lagi.

Officially Engaged!

Aramai tie Tunang ♥

Mangasok tidong/Menanam padi bukit 2015

The Mangasok and monumpos Team

Macam mau basi sudah ni story, tapi saya kasi cerita juga la. hehe
Menanam padi merupakan yearly project bagi penduduk Sabah yang tinggal di kampung atau pedalaman. Jadi, hari mau share la ni gambar-gambar aktiviti menanam padi atau dalam bahasa Dusun mangasok di kampung saya untuk tahun ni. Duuuuulu ada saya post juga ni cerita tanam padi SINI tapi inda banyak gambar time mangasok and post ni merupakan cerita keseluruhan proses dalam pertanian padi bukit. So, untuk post hari ni saya mau cerita/share pasal mangasok saja kio.

Macam biasa la kalau di kampung kebanyakan kerja buat gotong-royong atau mitabang bilang orang Dusun.

Mangasok pun macam tu juga. So, team ni kali semua uncle, aunt, cousin and kami sekeluarga la.

Team mangasok ni kana bagi dua. Satu team mangasok (buat lubang di tanah) and satu team lagi monumpos (isi biji benih padi dalam lubang). Haha lucu pula ayat ni kalau guna bahasa melayu Sabah. Tahun ni tanam padi di kampung mama. And this is the day to remember sebab for first time my boyfriend ikut and buat kerja kampung. The journey was tiring yet we have so much fun.

 Mama sedang bagi-bagi benih padi untuk ditanam.

The monumpos Team.

 Kehabisan barait kecil, guna plastik saja la. I love the sirung (topi diperbuat dari bambu).
Haha nampak saja tu sirung, capat-capat buking "sirung sa pakai!".

 Lupa pakai sunblock kali dia ni. Kreatif juga la, guna baju saja.

Mangasok Team.
Biasa kaum lelaki la buat ni kerja. Kayu tu bah berat, kalau perempuan yang buat ni kerja sekejap krem tangan.

 Start sudah dorang menanam padi, saya pula sibuk ambil gambar. Team mangasok akan lead di depan sebab dorang yang buat lubang untuk benih padi kan.

 Haha My hubby bukannya penat buat kerja tapi penat menghalau tu bees yang hinggap atas baju dia. Moreover, dia kuat berpeluh kan, so memang banyak la tu lebah duduk atas baju dia. Yang paling kesian, kana sengat pula, 4 sengatan bah! nasib baik bukan lebah yang bisa. hehe lucu pula bila diingat sekarang. After that kan I asked him ''mau ikut lagi ka pigi ladang lepas ni?". And he said "of course". Aaaah I love you soooo much la.♥

Sama saja sebenarnya kami, time balik rumah (fyi jalan balik naik bukit aa) kami la paling last sampai. Tidak tahan nafas bah. Sekejap saja semput. isk isk isk...Begini la jadi dia kalau kerja lebih banyak duduk ofis, lagi sangat jarang exercise. 

 Bergambar saja karaja. Lepas round pertama tanam padi, rehat dulu. ^_^

 Sambil-sambil tu makan nanas dulu. yummm. Sadap oo kalau makan di ladang.

 Lagi satu gambar solo pakai sirung. Ini baru la sumandak Dusun. Hehehe

Minta puji ka tu??? O.O

 Round 2 mangasok saya teda ambil gambar suda. Penat bah. Lagi tanah dia berbukit and kami mangasok dari atas turun ke bawah. Mau hati-hati, salah sikit kaki memijak macam bola nanti bergolek pigi bawah. Boyfriend xda ikut la round 2 ni. Hihi kasi rehat dulu dia, simpan tenaga untuk naik bukit time balik nanti.

 Hampir tengahari siap sudah kami mangasok. They decide to have lunch at home sebab belum lapar sangat juga. Ambil dulu satu foto ramai-ramai. Lepas tu pelan-pelan naik bukit balik rumah.

Sampai rumah....Aramai tieee!! ready sudah si mama 1 baldi tapai. heeeee

haha itu sia inda letak la gambar sini. Next weekendnya mangasok di kampung bapa tapi saya teda balik la. Itu lagi jauh ladang dia, 1 jam naik bukit ooo. Matai!

Bah itu saja la cerita niari.

Sonong-sonongon dikoyu kio.

Babai!

Tiruchirappalli/Trichy India part 2

Hi! Kopisanangan!

Bah sebagai opening post untuk bulan Ogos, kita sambung cerita jalan-jalan di India duuulu. ^-^

Part 2 is the story throughout Day 2 at Trichy India la.

Kalau mau tingu/baca yang part 1 punya, klik SINI.

So, untuk kasi pendek ni cerita saya post beberapa gambar la. Lazy lorr mau mengarang.

Day 2 pun trip semua pigi Temples saja. Memang pun trip pigi pilgrimage kan. Tapi saya pula trip trip pilgrimage. haha main-main saja la. For me trip ni untuk lebih mengenali culture dorang larr because my soon-to-be Fiance pun ada darah India juga.  

 Outside the temples. Inside the Temple memang tiada gambar la kami ambil coz prohibited kan.
Kami inda pigi tengok betul apa dia masak. heee nanti disuruh pula oleh pakcik ni membeli jualannya. 

 This is the common view la. Temples and Indian natives peoples. Totally forgot the full name of the temples we visit. Short-term memories betul la. Di part 1 punya post ada juga tu map and nama-nama temples yang kami visit.

I thought the kambing also patung macam di sebelah da tu. Rupanya kambing real. Haha berteduh dari terik mentari kali ni.

 Us ♥. :) ada po untuk kenang-kenangan kan.

 Nah ini pun antara gerai yang terdapat di luar temple. I'm so kagum dengan dorang yang boleh buat benda ni. Haha sebab I don't have that talent lorr. 

 See the end product. Nice, right?

 Bunga di tengahari. A bit disappointed dengan makan tengahari niari. Why? sebab kami pigi restoran vegeterian. Bukan inda sedap bha tapi sangat lapar kan and in this situation saya akan selalu terbayang nasi beriyani ayam, kari ayam, daging babi goreng ka roast ka, bila makan terasa jus daging da keluar...then tambah lagi kuah cecah yang sedap..haha meleleh bah air liur. 

Tudu bangat la. 

Apa pun yang penting dapat isi perut. Ada juga la 2/3 lauk vege da yang sedap. :))

 Kuil yang seterusnya. Ada kolam bunga teratai di luar. Lepas keluar dari temple baru pigi snap-snap sini. Haha me and the boyfriend saja yang paling exited ni ambil-ambil gambar. Kalau kamu mau tau bunga teratai/Lotus flower ni merupakan National Flower of India. Bagi dorang bunga teratai melambangkan ketuhanan (divinity), kesuburan (fertility), kekayaan (wealth), pengetahuan (knowledge) dan juga kesedaran (enlightenment). Lotus atau bunga teratai ni juga ada significantnya dalam Hindu punya culture - Lotus is a sacred flower for them la. Hehe baru saya pigi baca-baca bah juga ni sebab masa kami masuk temples and kalau dorang mau buat apa ceremony, biasanya akan ada ni lotus flower. Ada tu gambar di Part 1 punya post.

 Apamacam? haha minta puji no kopio. Saja bah mau kasi tengo ni gambar pakai tu baju. ^-^

 Nah walau pun gambar ni inda berapa clear (snap dari van masa on the way pigi next temple) tapi the story behind it are very interesting. Bagi saya interesting la..haha
Firstly, kamu tengok budak perempuan tu dari atas ke bawah...mana paling menarik perhatian??
Of course la bunga dekat kepala dia kan. Warna da yang menonjol sikit dari yang lain. Haha bayangkan kalau semua pelajar perempuan di sekolah tu pakai sebiji macam girl tu...hah kalau kamu dapat imagine, memang begitu la tu yang kamu akan nampak di sini. Baju uniform memang la sama kan, tapi jarang-jarang kalau student ni mau buat style rambut yang sama. So, kali pertama nampak situasi ni berlaku di India. Kami tak sempat ambil gambar student yang ramai-ramai tu. Our driver cerita ada certain school akan bagi semua pelajar dia basikal/beg untuk semua student dia (mungkin untuk menarik/menggalakkan lebih ramai budak pigi sekolah) tapi masalahnya kebanyakan guru-guru dia tidak berapa ambil peduli tentang kualiti pembelajaran da punya student. Hmmm makan gaji buta la kali. Last-last parent tu hantar anak pigi sekolah sekadar ambil tu bantuan. Lepas dapat tu basikal, ada parent yang jual n ada yang guna sendiri untuk kerja harian.

Banyan Tree

ehemmm..macam panjang juga cerita ni kan. Bilang malas mau mengarang. Haha apa boleh buat every pictures ada cerita istimewa da sendiri. Nah gambar pokok di atas and di bawah ni merupakan gambar National Tree of India. Pokok ni merupakan simbol kesatuan bagi negara dorang. Memang ngam la bha dengan keutuhan pokok itu sendiri kan.

Selain jadi national tree, masyarakat yang menganut agama Hindu menganggap pokok ini suci dan sudah menjadi tradisi mereka untuk worship pokok ni sejak dari dulu-dulu lagi (ada la tu da punya significant napa dorang mau worship). Nah mau tahu lebih lanjut pigi cari di google la k. Panjang juga ni kalau mau cerita semua sini.

Tuuuna si aman pun sedang sembahyang kali tu. Macam inda ngam pula ni filter kana guna kan. Sudah la si aman ada gelap sikit, inda nampak suda kepala dia. hehe

India mini market - pigi beli minum dulu ^^.

Saya lupa sudah rasa tu coke. Tapi memang rasa macam coke juga bah. :))

Mango juice da yang sedap. :P

Orang tempatan

Ini baru ngam. Klasik. Banyak pula gambar saya dengan mini market dorang ni. haha.

Ehhh The End sudah pula.

haha tapi ada lagi sambungan ni.......

babai dulu la untuk ari ni.

TC.

A Day to Remember

Kemarin Punya cerita. The day where all Sabahan mourned in remembrance of the victim of the earthquake that struck Sabah on the fifth of June 2015.

However, the prayer will never end especially for the families who loss their loved one..Prayer for comfort and strength.

Comfort them with your love, O God. Calm their heart O God.

And give them peace;

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

For the first time ^^

For the first time I celebrate my birthday with someone special other than my own family.

 For the first time I feel the exitement of being deeply loved by someone.

For the first time someone special surprise me with a yummy birthday cake.

For the first time I feel exited and wondered what kind of  birthday gift he will give me because he said he already bought it three months ago..-.-

For the first time I fall in love again and again with the same person.

For the first time I think deeply & seriously about my future with Him ^_^

It'll be totally strange, but I'm ready to change...

coz I love him alot alot..

See this 'bongo' girl with her birthday cake:

haha LOL what kind of expression is that?? look depressed. ~^o^~ I'm just so surprised.
But I'm super happy that I can't stop smiling the whole night ｡^‿^｡ . Thank you my love, my precious.

May God Bless our love.

 ♥ feeling loved ♥ (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) ♫･*:.｡. .｡.:*･

But suddenly my friend who received their graduation last Monday  told me that my name is on the list for the 'Anugerah Pelajar Cemerlang' @ best student maybe..haha never expect that. Then I ask her "where's the letter?

"Life is like a book, there are good chapter, and there are bad chapter. But when you get to a bad chapter, you don’t stop reading the book! If you do…then you never get to find out what happens next!"

― Brian Falkner

Every chapter defines who we really are. And every chapter, even the bad chapter...they teach us what life is...sometime we cry, we smile, we laugh, we stumble, we stand, we success..the chapter will go on, till the end of our life...we, ourselves is the author of the book. 

Nah after the long intro, what i'm gonna share here actually is my 23 most important milestones in my life. Why 23? haha because I'm 23 years old this year. So, am gonna look back on the past 23 years of my life and list down 23 most important milestone a.k.a the most significant event so far.
