48 year old geezer

Today at 11.30am I stood in the doorway and stared into the kitchen and this conversation took place in my head.

"I want milk."

"We need to eat la last meal was 5pm dinner."

"But I want milk. Loads." I looked around the kitchenware and spotted two of my mugs; a heirloom from Kak Bid and a soup mug birthday present from Kak Biha. "One mug not enough, two mugs too troublesome, not enough anyway."

"We don't have tall mug."

"Must go buy tall mug tomorrow."

Spotted a small jug. "How about warm milk in a jug?"

"Yaa we have that straw."

I imagined myself studying while drinking endless milk from the jug via the straw. So after three minutes of staring I proceeded to gleefully make myself a jug of warm milk.

Brought the jug into my room. The warmth was heavenly on my palms, I decided to forgo the straw and drink straight from the jug. It was wonderful.

An hour later I had to go back into the kitchen for more warm fluid. Ended up cooking instant noodle for the sake of the broth.

I keep having to remind myself "You're 23, act your age, stop lazying, we have to excel this." But to no avail, I'm just too lazy. I suppose I'm still too youtful.

Until this test shattered all the illusion I considered reality. 48 years old grr.

Erti Kesengalan

After mediaPERUBATAN was unofficially renamed Biro Pusat Pemulihan due to the extensive sengal-ness of its members (no, the big bosses were safe from this infection), I felt the need for a serious self-searching.

I hope you can help me by answering this poll. Thank you and have a nice day.

Menyelami Kepala Sendiri

Kerana kebosanan, saya telah membuat kuiz untuk melihat sejauh mana saya dikenali oleh orang sekeliling saya.

Kesan respon mereka, saya berpendapat bahawa saya masih lagi belum dikenali, even oleh teman sebilik saya.

Adakah ianya loophole di dalam ukhuwah kami? Atau saya sahaja yang bersikap misteri macam Kakashi?


Tapi, adakah keakraban persahabatan diukur dari kebolehan menjawab soalan-soalan berikut?

1) Paling suka makan
a) Keropok lekor yang nipis dan rangup
b) Keropok keping
c) Kepok gote!

2) Ringtone saya
a) Selalu berubah-rubah, tetapi semuanya nasyid
b) Selalu berubah-rubah, tetapi semuanya lagu Jepun
c) Selalu berubah-rubah, tetapi semuanya membingitkan

3) Saya paling suka warna
a) Hitam, sebab kalau kotor orang tak nampak
b) Hitam, sebab matching dengan apa-apa warna
c) Hitam, sebab dah suka, nak buat camne?

4) Perkataan pertama bila saya call orang adalah
a) Hello
b) Assalamualaikum
c) Yo

5) Ayah saya panggil saya apa?
a) Ika
b) Atiqah
c) Kak ngah

6) Paling tak suka
a) Berlari
b) Berjalan
c) Naik kenderaan awam

7) Cara tidur
a) Ganas
b) Tidak akan bergerak sampai la dia bangun
c) Merengkot macam fetus di bawah selimut

8) Teknik membunuh serangga [contohnya lipas]
a) Hempuk dengan tenang
b) Hempuk sambil menahan geli
c) Hempuk dengan muka simpati

Baiklah, jawapan pula:

1. B
Sebab soalan dia adalah paling suka. Saya suka keropok lekor yang nipis dan rangup, tapi paling suka keropok keping.

Kepok gote, kalau panas sedap juga. Kalau dah sejuk memang tak makan dah. (Sebenarnya, saya akan elak memakan apa-apa sahaja yang dah sejuk.)

2. C
Hampir tepat jawapan B, tapi saya pernah guna lagu Melayu. Kadang-kala sengaja tukar ringtone untuk menjengkelkan Ara.

3. B
I go for practicality.

4. A
Dulu memang mulakan dengan assalamualaikum, tetapi pernah sekali, orang bukan Islam yang angkat panggilan.

Sejak itu, saya memang greet dengan "Hello, assalamualaikum."

5. B
Agak ganjil, tapi ianya benar. Ayah je panggil sedemikian. Oh, and only blood-family gets away with calling me Ika.

Kak ngah adalah panggilan ahli keluarga apabila mak ada. Sebab mak marah adik-adik panggil saya Ika.

6. A
Dulu memang suka berlari, sehingga suatu hari, Muallimah Nazahiyah tegur sebab saya berlari atas court.

Sejak hari itu, saya tidak suka berlari lagi. Even rentas desa anjuran sekolah pun, memang saya berjalan dari awal sampai akhir.

Patut la saya bela kura-kura.

7. B
Kalau dah bergerak tu, maksudnya dah bangun lah tu. Biasanye memang saya akan tidur gaya C, tapi apa-apapun cara, B tetap dipraktikkan.

Despite my active demeanour, I'm a polite sleeper.

8. A
Sebab itulah, sepanjang saya di SMI Aman dan INTEC [even di Mesir ni pun], mesti diorang serahkan hal-hal membunuh lipas kepada saya.

Tak faham kenapa perempuan geli ngan lipas.

Setakat ni, cuma Ara, Syaimaa dan Asyraf berjaya dapat 3/8 daripada kuiz ini. Tertinggi la tu. Tahniah saya ucapkan, walaupun tak faham macam mana yang terakhir tu boleh dapat markah sama macam diorang. Pandai menyelami kepala orang? Anda wajar menjadi psychiatrist!

MokNik juga dapat 3/8. MokNik yang sama sekolah rendah dan sekelas dari tingkatan 1 hinggalah 5.

Lepas ni nak tanya Tasnim pulak.

p/s: Atiqah, nampaknya memang ada lubang yang besar dalam ukhuwah kamu.

Burnin' Up

Yesterday, I took this quiz on Facebook. It impressed me, to say the least.

I'll leave you to that.

You have a need for other people to like and admire you, and yet you tend to be critical of yourself.

While you have some personality weaknesses you are generally able to compensate for them.

You have considerable unused capacity that you have not turned to your advantage.

Disciplined and self-controlled on the outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure on the inside.

At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing.

You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations.

You also pride yourself as an independent thinker; and do not accept others' statements without satisfactory proof.

But you have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others.

At times you are extroverted, affable, and sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, and reserved.

Some of your aspirations tend to be rather unrealistic.

What Your Cute Monster Says About You

You are a deep, thoughtful, down to earth person. You don't put much stock in appearances. You are never superficial or flippant. You take time in life to study, learn, and get to know people well. You inner demon is laziness. You can get so caught up in your own world that you neglect everything around you. People think you're cute because you're intelligent. Your wit and wisdom are charming.

The Cute Monster Test

Well Said

You Are Clogs

You are a solid and down to earth person. You seek and almost always achieve a really sound balance in your life. You are stylish yet comfortable. Mellow but driven. Excited yet calm. You are the perfect mesh of contradictions. No matter what happens, you have the ability to stay well grounded in your life. People know that they can truly depend on you.

You Are a Total Brainiac

You're amazingly brilliant. Some would even say genius. You're curious, thoughtful, analytical, and confident. You take on difficult subjects because you want to... not because you have to. No field of knowledge is too complicated or intimidating for you. You've got the brains to do anything you want. It's possible you end up doing everything you want.

Your Power Element is Metal

You are persistent (and maybe even a little bit stubborn). If you see something you want, you go for it. You have a lot of strength, and it's difficult to get you down. Very logical, you tend to analyze everything going on in your life.

Your Sloth Quotient: 55%

You're definitely lazier than the average person, but you're able to live a somewhat normal life. All your life needs is a little more effort and variety, and you might see that doing hard things is actually fun!

Your Brain's Pattern

Your mind is a multi dimensional wonderland, with many layers. You're the type that always has multiple streams of though going. And you can keep these thoughts going at any time. You're very likely to be engaged in deep thought - and deep conversation.
