A surprising page turner -BLINK-

This is the first time ever, I read a non-fiction book and found it sooo engrossing! Quiet a number of my colleagues have read this book and even read this writer's other books. Kita baru nak baca akakaka..

It says that we have 2 minds actually - unconscious and conscious. It also teaches to trust your snap judgement and when to use it properly.
I cannot help thinking about my two seniors and their frequent clash of opinions. No wonder lah, one is keen to use unconscious judgement and the other being very organized, prefer to present her case using conscious judgement.
Why not marry both minds, takyah gaduh2, make them sekepala eh?

Kinabalu, kami nak datang

The date for the trip has been set, 15-19 Dec 2014. Booking fee has been paid. Jeng..jeng..jeng. Actually I already signed up for 11.12.13 trip (last month) tapi gara2 signed up then found out that I was pregnant...burnt the booking fee for that one. Hasben naik sorang2 dgn rakan2 lain.
Sooooo...nak jugak naik this year. Yg bestnya, hasben pun ikut sebaaaab...dia tak sempat sampai puncak harharhar. A blessing for me indeed. Dia dapat sijil hitam putih je, not coloured for those who reached Kinabalu Low's Peak.

Meng'saiko' diri sendiri

Saspen jugak ni. Kalau brisk walk 1km dalam sepuluh minit (lbh kurang), orang kata Kinabalu is like 1km/hr. Tapi my hasben ikut Mersilau and it took him almost 12 hours to reach Laban Rata....eeep! apakah...
Got almost 1 year to prepare. Apart from my lari2 I think, I'll be visiting Broga, Bukit Tabur, Bukit Gasing etc as a preparation. Oh ye, package includes white water rafting. Nak kena pikir gak preparation for that activity.

Time2 ni la nak tengok drama :)

Mengambil kesempatan cuti bersalin untuk menonton drama2 ni. Haish...time keje, takde masa nye nak nengok. Balik lambat, penat, nak layan anak lagi, waktu tayangan tak kena. I've been watching, Love You Mr Arrogant (M'sia, dah abiss), Sungkyunkwan Scandal (Kdrama), Legend of Kublai Khan (Mandarin, cerita bibik follow. Kita follow gak le). Janji Adam, Msia pun dah abis.
Tapiiii...dalam byk2 drama ni, my favourite is...

Soooo cute laa this story. It's currently phillipines hottest teleseries, has been running (still running) since July last year. Lotsa 'kilig' moments. It's a simple family story about a girl trying to be a stewardess but ended up striking a deal with a rich and handsome guy to take care of his youngest daughter, and she will be sponsored to study by the guy later on. Kelakar nengok kerenah si Maya (heroine) developing a crush on her boss. I shall miss this series bila dah setat keje, nampak gaya kena resort to pinoytube, youtube etc lah to watch this series.
Apa lagi cerita baru...hmmm. Playboy itu Suami Aku, yg ganti Love You Mr Arrogant. Baru tgk semalam. Macam kayu je hero tu...kecewa..kecewa..

Ikan Jerung behaving like kucing..amazing

Yesterday night, me & hubby watched a documentary on Animal Planet about shark. Tak plan pun nak menonton, I was actually restless sebab tak jumpa comfortable pose on the bed so decided to lepak tengok TV.
We did not know the head and tail of the documentary but saw people in shallow waters, catching and holding small sharks immobile. Small meaning like 2-3 feet long je. Like the species yg hubby & I saw during our vacation in Maldives.

Creamy and cute...ehehehe. Shot in Rangali island, Maldives

One phrase kept popping up - tonic immobility. We were stumped. Apa ke bende tonic had to do with sharks and sea. We kept on watching and the documentary getting more and more suspenseful. The diver then attempted to do this tonic immobility on a reef shark. So many sharks meh surrounded this guy and his companion!! Fuhhh..I simply cannot comprehend. I always have this fear of drowning, apa lagi nak diving, plusss surrounding yourself with sharks. Some of the sharks bumped and shoved the divers. Diver ni main tepis2 je the sharks snout. Ohhh..tidaaak.
One shark swam direct to the diver heading toward the area of his stomach. And the diver induced this tonic immobility. Lo and behold, the shark stopped swimming. Diver to usap2 je the shark's snout (macam usap bawah dagu kucing gitu). Selalunya, I tgk mata shark ni, semua hitam.

Evil looking shark

In this documentary, first time I saw different kind of shark 'looks'.

Shark induced with tonic immobility (TI). Mcm mata kucing tgh rilek.

Kena TI. Jerung tutup mata.

 The diver then did the ultimate test whether this tonic immobility is 100% induced. He flipped the shark upside down. Keras kejung rilek je jerung tuh..Truly unbelievable.

Kitaorg punya la cursing that the diver, crazy nak mampus for attempting all the above, but in the end both me & hubby were really stumped. Hubby terus google apa ke benda tonic immobility (tak puas hati nye pasal).
'Tonic immobility (TI) is a state of paralysis that animals enter, in most cases in response to a threat. Some scientists relate it to mating in certain animals like the shark.

Some sharks can be placed in a tonic state.^[1] The shark remains in this state of paralysis for an average of fifteen minutes before it recovers. Scientists have exploited this phenomenon to study shark behaviour.' Wikipedia lah :)

Dah lama tak rasa amazed when watching a documentary. Syok pulak. Ilmu Allah kan, banyak lagi belum diterokai. Subhanallah.

Reunion after 14 years - USMKCP'99 Sch of Chem Eng

About a month ago, three of us thought of getting together thru FB. Since then few others voiced their interest to join. Whatsapp group was formed, madam only laaa..hehehe, there were not many guys in our batch. So last weekend, we met up in one of the friend's house. Woohoo!

Ten of us, generally maintain gituu..kakaka

Most of us were married to USM peeps too. While the madams yapping inside the house, the hubbies were hanging out on the porch bersembang2. Dalam ramai2 tu, I think Aini's & Ama's hubby je 'outsider' Hehehe...sorryy for the term.

Guys bergebang di porch

Syok gilerr..naturally we catched up stories, the camaraderie is still strong even though 14 years has lapsed. Ada jugak la few moments (for me) that I felt funny. Especially when we talked about our kids and their schooling. 2 of us actually have teen kids so we talked about handling puberty issues...ohohohoho! Sapa sangka noh. I would have laughed so hard if somebody told me back in uni time that in future, this would be the scenario.
Yesterday, we had a mini gathering. This time, I reunited with my ex-house mate who's also my uni batch. Kebetulan she had a meeting in KLCC (flew in from east coast) and had free time in from lunch onwards. Cik Zai pun join jugak since both have not seen each other since graduation.

House-mate when I was working in east coast

 Rezeki den, orang jauh belanja...kakaka. I purposely picked out the location since it was quite some time since I had Fish Florentine for lunch. Thanks Na! Walaupun itu company nye meal allowance....kekekeke.

Makan2 kat Cozy Corner, Ampang Park

Hahh...hopefully more gathering will be in the pipeline. I am already planning an aqiqah for this baby and definitely will be inviting them all.

Winter is coming this weekend...aaaaaa!!

Oooooooo...I really can't wait. 20th April 9pm HBO. Eheheheh..Game of Thrones season 3 lah. Last weekend, I re-watched my favourite episodes both in Season 1 and Season 2.

I got the softcopy version (thank you to Fifi, the torrent tokey). Actually, most of the episodes, I watched it on HBO, especially Season 2. I decided for Season 2, I decided to re-watch the last 5 episodes. Bengong kang kepala otak, marathon berjam2 depan laptop tu. Quite a number of scenes caught me by surprised, I gasped, I hissed. Mostly battle and gory scenes. Bleghh ! Typical GoT..
Hmmm..hopefully budak2 tu tak merengek nak tengok channel 613 diaorg la masa mama nak ngadap GoTS3 nih...
