B.B.Q

29th September 2008.
Is the day that..
Makes me remember why I love my family and KL.
Makes me remember why I love my high school years and friends.

My dear friends from high school made a small/mini reunion/gathering.
Or shall we say, a farewell majlis for our dear friend ajea.
He will be going to Taiwan to continue studying/work in design THIS 30th September 2008!
I guess he will be raya-ing there. Poor boy.
But you know, good opportunity doesn't come easily.
I'm glad he decided to go.
Best of luck WAN FAZIL!! ;)

Anyways, let me tell how it went. The whole day went.
My day started late. -___-;;
I'll just start from the time we buka puasa.
The day before, my mom, eldest sister and I decided that today we will go for terawih.
And so, at 8pm we went to our neighbourhood masjid, Muadz bin Jabal Masjid.
Went for a 12 rakaat, and read the Quran for a bit.
Got back home at 10pm.
As we were on our way back home, we past by a night market?
It is like a mini uptown? Setiawangsa-ians called the bacK Lane. (noticed the K and L being capitals? Good idea huh? Instead of the standard uptown.)
BacK Lane opens only Friday till Sunday and starts from 10.30/11pm till morning I guess.
(It's I'm doing a promotion or something. XD)

So we decided to go home and change. Just to see whats there.
Bile lagi kan? My mom and sis said.
Ya.. Bile lagi.. kn? :) Smiled to myself.

Nothing looks interesting enough for me though.
Mom bought a pair of shoes worth rm20!
An original Marie Claire from Bata. Original price was rm89.90.
Imagine that. What a bargain yo~ XD
And she also bought a baju melayu for my brother. A white one. At rm25!
Another bargain! XD

Anyhoo..
Thinking nobody will call me and me not having pockets,
I didn't bring anything. Even my handphones.
So after jalan-jalan at the bacK Lane, arrived home at 11.30pm.
Checked my handphones.
Maxis, 3 miss calls and 1 messege.
Digi, 5 miss calls and 1 messege.
I was like eeeehhh..?? Sape yang call banyak-banyak ni?
Those miss calls were from Fadhli, Amar and a messege from Lydia.
All were from 10.30pm.
And so I messeged them back.
Fadhli immediately called back.
Saying that Ikhwan is holding a bbq, a small gathering for ajea.
Since he is going to Taiwan and all.
To my surprise, my parents let me go as long as I follow the curfew.
HAPPINESS. \^o^/

The food was great too! Had chicken and beef.
Cooked well. :D
Ahh.. The meeting of familiar faces brings back memories..
So here are the pictures of my happiness. ;)

Raya is just around the corner.
So I would like to take this opportunity to wish every Muslim a joyous Eid-ul-Fitr surrounded with humbleness and keinsafan.
And not to forgot, maaf zahir batin sincerely from the heart. ;)

Djendela

At last a forth post.
Been neglecting to update.
Yup.. Short attention span syndrome.
I guess.. Thats why I have 4 blogs. XD

Sigh~

Anyways, had promised myself to update this blog within this week.
As this blog is about happiness,
I'd like to share my lil own happiness. Current obsession to be exact.
No.. This time its not about Arashi.
I got another blog to handle that fandom. XD

My lil own happiness for now is random picture taking.
With other people/anything interesting as my subjects.
Especially Sabrina. XD
As she had said so herself,
"semua gamba aku muke lain2 dan muke aku lain dari gamba"
That is kinda true. XD took lots of candid photos of her but she got pissed at me. :S
Since I got a 2 mega pixel camera phone. Nothing can stop me! *insert evil laugh here* >:D

On September 13th 2008.
My friends (sabrina, nurul and yana) and I went for a buka puasa.
At first I think we were headed to a well-known restaurant (forgot it's name).
Then our attention was caught by this all-white-corner-lot restaurant called
Djendela.
Out of curiosity and excitement for a new place, we went there instead. ^^v


Quite a surprise for me, the restaurant was empty!
In my opinion, they had a great concept. An all white Malaysian food?
But I guess, its a new restaurant.. They have a long way to go.

The atmosphere and the evening breeze gave a very good first impression.
As we settled down and looking at the menu, I asked 1 of it's waiter,
"Dah lame buka?" (soalan buffer XD)
"Baru 2 minggu."
"Oohh.. Err.. Kedai memang kosong ke?" (straight to the point. oops! tak tapis plak~)
"Takde la, semalam penuh!"
"Ooohh.. Wow~ Ok.." (dalam hati: nanti penuh la ni..)

But..
15 minutes before buka: Us girls
Azan for buka: Us girls
15 minutes after buka: Us girls
Half an hour after buka: Us girls
Heading home: Us girls.

Even though there was 1 table "reserved", no one came..
*bunyi cengkerik*
Talked to myself while nodding, "hmm.. mane penuhnye..?"

The food was alright. A bit pricey for my taste.
Pity, the menu has little variety.
But as the waiter claimed, this menu will be used only during Ramadhan.
Nonetheless, we had a good time taking pictures.

At least we got to experience once-in-a-lifetime 1st class/VIP treatment from a new restaurant.
:D

Mirror

Had fun today. Took some good pictures of my subjects (sabrina and friends ^^)
But little work has been done. -___-;; adoi..

Yes.. yet another poem by yours truly.
An old one too.
Let me explain a bit.
This time, the poem is about..
Something that you see everyday.
Something that you use everyday.
Something that you can't live without.
And no, its not air. Its a thing. *duh!* XD

ok..
Enough with the suspense already.
I bring you:


Mirror by Atikah Ansari, 18th January 2006

Mirror..

does it portrays the truest beauty that one could have
or does it portrays one unusual behaviour..?

does it resembles one’s mightiest affection
or does it resembles one’s weakest defection..?

does it shows the sad feeling, the pain and the disappointment in one’s eyes
or does it only shows the beautiful colours of one’s eyes..?

does it flaunts one’s amazing personalities and characteristics
or does it only flaunts one’s outer district..?

does it reveals one’s darkest secret that only one can hold
or does it reveals only one’s ability to cover with lies and fraud..?

does it tells one’s deepest secrets
or does it tells one’s biggest heartiest regrets..?

does it shows one’s mission to be among the greatest
or does it shows one’s great faith..?

does it portrays one’s sole ambition
or does it portrays one’s inner devastations..?

does it shows one’s perfect happiness
or does it shows one’s incredibly heart-felt sadness..?

mirror..

a perfect disguise to distract oneself..
a perfect tool to fool anyone..
the perfect approach to face the truth
the perfect illusion..

a question of liability
a question of honesty
a question of predictability
a question of curiosity..

or is it just only a reflection of the one who beholds it..?
that can only be the truth as its only a reflection..


Ya.. Very amateur-ish. XD
Actually my inspiration for this is quite simple.
Just a mere mirror. ahaha..
I love mirrors, don't get me wrong.
But it got me thinking of what it's main purpose.
What it really does to people..

So what do think of mirrors after this?
Does it really resembles you?

Bismillah~

Second entry~ *throw confetti*
Although my header screams Happiness is Here, I don't think my recent posts are about happiness. Yet. >.< style="font-style: italic;">happiness. ^^

Okay then, my second copy-pasting series.
A poem yet again. ^^;
This maybe my last one?

BUT!! Be warned! The following text has some major jiwang issue!!!!
Even I can't believe that I, wrote this one. Seriously!
But you know, I don't think I can write this sort of stuff anymore..
sigh~

Anyways, here it goes.
*brace oneselves*


Untitled by Atikah Ansari, 2nd January 2006

i knew i loved you..
from the moment i met you..
from the moment our eyes gazed upon each other..
on that very moment i know that we are destined to be together..

i must confess, its a sudden i know..
but i wouldnt say it if im not sure..
for you’re the only one that my heart fell for..
and that you are my happiness, my pain, my prized possession, my only treasure..

through the years we’ve been friends..
i could always rely on you for comfort, for security, for assurance..
as for now the right moment has arrived
for me to confess that..
you have my heart..

you have thought me the lessons of life..
how we both thrived..
to emerge and be the best we could be..
and that we can do anything n make it a reality..

all this time we talked about our dreams and goals..
to play such good and honourable roles..
whether in our daily lives or in the battlefield..
our destiny is to be fulfilled..

when and if we get to go through the gateways of heaven..
i can only say, life without you i cant imagine..
as for you are my sole compassion..
and my utmost alligence..

i want to express my deepest gratitude
for your most sincere atitude..
im thanking God for making me see
opening my eyes to many possibilities
and that He has led me to you as you are to me..


I KNOW! Jiwang karat tak boleh blah!! :O
LOL XD

What to do? This was written 2 years ago with me being naive and err... innocent? XD
Comments are welcome BUT, be gentle? Hehehe.. :D

I think there is another poem to be published just around the corner.
So watch out for it.
And no, its not jiwang karat!! XD
I guess its about what i was thinking at that moment.
Will explain more in the next post~

;)

posto no ichi

Bismillah.

Another blog to write on.
Right now, I have, in total, 4 blogs. Including this. XD
This time, I think I want to change my way of writing.
Or a change of air.
Or not. ^^;
You might ask yourself right about now, "why on earth would she has so many blogs?"
Well.. Its a question even I couldn't answer. LOL

Anyways, for this very first post and a few next to come, I will be just copy-pasting posts from my not-so-updated-well-no-longer-updated-blog-which-I'm-going-to-close-it-down.
There, i wrote quite a number of entries, even i was surprise at how many I have written. LOL.
Poems and rants about nothing.

This will be the first of many posts about my past skepticism, uncertainties on life or whatever there is to talk about.
So here goes. Originally from Atikah. *wink*

14 December 2005, Atikah Ansari

Confusingly I am happy with myself but at the same time I'm worried that I might somehow disappoint someone I care and love so dearly..
In the midst of a silent and dark night, I cried in my sleep..
I wept in my dreams even..
Though my dreams are forgettable but some could leave a very big impression on me..
Which at times made me think whether my actions are sincere,
Whether my intentions are correct and truthful or far from it..

I loved a lot of people in my past years and still am now very much care for these people but sometimes my bloody big ego gets in the way..
Making sure that I will not let my guard down even in front of my loved ones..

Sad isn't it? But it is in me..
I can't stop it but I may change it or go around it..
Hmm.. Just maybe I could..
But I am always thankful that these people managed to find my "coolness",
Managed to see that I'm not always hard,
Managed to love me even..

I am glad..
I am truly grateful..
I've been blessed with such gentle-hearted people..
Only God could repay such kindness..
I'm falling..
And will always fall..
But somehow I couldn't reach the ground..
Although it feels so near yet it seems as if getting there takes a life time..

I guess I should learn something from my "old" me?

As of now, this will be it.
Will continue copy-pasting from my other/old blog soon.

Till then, do take care.
The whether has been difficult? (being rainy/hot and all..)
O ya, did I mentioned that right now is Ramadhan?
The more for you to take care that health of yours ya? ;)
