Posto! Posto!

I havent received any Raya card yet, so far. Though I did received some electronics greetings in my inbox. Maybe Raya card is not in anymore. Maybe people nowadays have less time to go to the store and buy Raya cards and less time to go to post office to send them. Plus, e-cards are far more convenient.

But the feeling is not the same, kan people kan?

I remembered those times when me and my friends would together went to buy some cards, each cost us around 30-50 cents (cari kad murah je, considering we were school kids and we have to send quite a lot of cards. Kad mahal sikit were for special ones, like best friends, uncle, aunts, cousins, grandparents) and then exchanged them among ourselves. I missed those times writing cards and then posting them to friends and relatives whom are living out of town.

I remembered those times when I would stand at the corner of the wall to have a peek on my postbox whenever the postman were coming. Just to see whether there's any mails for me. And as soon as the postman left, I would run to the postbox. Hehe.

By the way, I am writing some Raya cards now. Hopefully I can post them by this week.

And oh, instead of Raya card, I received a lovely postcard from a lovely lady this morning. And that really made my day. Thanks, Ana Raffali! I love it!

Twilight (Again), Just To Kill The Time.

I watched Twilight. Again. Now I had figured out why on earth did I like Edward very much the first time I watched this movie. No, not because (people say) he is cute. I dont care even if he is cute. That was not the main reason.

Because he is supposed to be terrifyingly scary, extremely dangerous, one whom we should stay away from, never to befriend to, especially not the one to fall in love with. He is more than capable of putting us to death, starve for our blood every single day and night. Just not supposed to be the one we should go for. Be with him and you risk your life in his hand.

Yes, I used to fell for guys who were cold, insensitive, super-egoistic, full of arguments and always think that he is the best. The kind of guys that girls would want to should avoid. The kind that girls will hate. I did hate these kind of guys, yet I (used to) liked them a lot. The more I hate them, the more I liked them. How torturing! Be with him, and you risk your fragile little heart in his hand.

I guess this risky kind of things was the one that made me like Edward. Moreover, despite of his vampire attitude, he still have a little humanity inside him. That's what made me like him more.

I just cant wait to finish reading the books.

Ramadhan Ini

Salam Ramadhan semua.

Lumrah setiap kali Ramadhan tiba, saya akan teringat saat-saat berpuasa jauh daripada keluarga ketika zaman belajar dahulu. Zaman berpuasa di perantauan memang banyak kenangan. Pahit ada, manis pun ada.

Saya masih ingat, pernah sekali saya hampir menangis di kafe kerana makanan yang disediakan untuk berbuka puasa tidak cukup untuk menampung keperluan semua pelajar. Penat saya berbaris mahu membeli, apabila tiba giliran lauk sudah habis. Sedih bukan kepalang. Bukan sebab perut lapar, tapi sebab mengenangkan nasib diri jauh daripada keluarga. Pada masa itu, memang terasa sayu. Mahu saja terbang pulang ke rumah. Mujur saya berjaya gagahkan diri sebab kawan-kawan saya pun senasib. Maka hari itu kami beli saja apa yang masih tinggal dan berbuka seadanya.


Ironinya, kini apabila saya sudah tamat pengajian dan kembali ke negeri tercinta untuk berkhidmat di sini, ibu bapa saya pula yang berpindah tempat bertugas. Mujur ada adik saya di sini temankan saya sahur dan berbuka puasa.

Kepada semua,
Selamat Menyambut ketibaan Ramadhan Al-Mubarak.
Semoga mendapat keberkatan dan kebaikan.

Ikhlas,
Melody.

Project

I am on a new project with S.

Due date is coming real soon, I hope I would be able to finish it on time, and send the end result to the intended end user. Actually, the material for the project was something that I had made for an occasion earlier this year. However I did not really presented it because I thought the stuff was not up to my par and need huge amendmends.

Really, I mean if you are about to present something to a group of people, you wouldn't want it to be just better-than-nothing, right? Plus, this group of people and this particular project is somewhat special and meaningful and have sentimental values and bla bla bla...

Ok, better stop here and continue with the work. Raw material had finished anyway. All I need to do now is to polish it so it can be much beautiful than now.

Teman Baru Saya Namanya Shane.

Saya membatalkan niat saya untuk pergi bercuti kerana keadaan persekitaran yang kurang memuaskan. Saya jadi kurang gembira. Tambah lagi pelbagai berita kurang menggembirakan terjadi pada manusia sekeliling saya akhir-akhir ini. Dan untuk menaikkan kembali mood ceria dalam diri saya, saya telah menemukan sesuatu untuk menemani saya dikala sedih melanda.

Kenalkan, ini Shane.





















Haha, nama tak boleh blah betul. Pada sewaktu saya guitar-hunting bersama ayah emak, saya sudah fikir dalam kepala, saya mahukan gitar Y untuk dimiliki. Sebab seseorang yang saya gemar, gitarnya Y juga. Memang pengaruh rakan sebaya betul la. Hehe. Lagipun keyboard kat rumah juga adalah Y setelah kami kecewa dengan keyboard C. Hehe. Tapi apabila sampai di kedai itu, saya terpaut hati pada si I.

Saya low profile saja, rasa inferior sebenarnya berada di kalangan cerdik pandai muzik dalam kedai tu. Ayah beriya-iya menyuruhcuba segala jenis gitar. Ayah memang dah biasa pergi kedai tu sebab kebanyakan peralatan muzik kami ayah beli kat situ. Saya geleng kepala.

Saya tahu ayah lebih minat gitar elektrik, sebab berkali-kali ayah tanyakan, saya tak mahu beli gitar elektrik ke? (Sambil jeling-jeling gitar elektrik yang bersusun kat tepi dinding) Saya jawab, saya tetap mahukan gitar akustik + build in tuner + build in pickup. Lagipun, gitar elektrik kan dah ada satu kat rumah? Ayah kata, oklah.

Walaupun saya mimpikan Y dalam tidur malam saya, tapi tiba di kedai dan jatuh hati pula pada I, akhirnya apa yang dibawa pulang? Si F.

Mulanya saya mahu panggil Black saja, sebab warnanya hitam menawan,dan bunyinya gagah perkasa (haha) tapi sebab saya tak suka Black juara Mentor (apa kaitan?), maka saya panggil saja ia Shine sebab ianya hitam menawan, berkilat dan menerangi hari muram saya. Make sense la kan? Tapi saya ada masalah mahu sebut Shine dengan betul, maka selalu tersasul menyebut Shane.

Dan begitulah kisahnya Shane muncul dalam hidup saya.
Sekian, terima kasih.


Chill!
