Stay Strong

Suddenly I remember, one of my friends had through the things that she does not want. She like that guy and base what I see, he love my friend. When she story to me, I can understand. I found one paper at her room when I was at her house and she was write like this:

Did you remember every times you text me, you will say that you really miss me and I don’t say that I also miss you but inside my heart I miss you more than you miss me. But when that day comes, you suddenly changed. Suddenly you say to me to forget all about you. I really confused that time. I ask myself, did he really love me?

You say for this time being we just a FRIEND. Are kidding to me? I remember that words you say “we are not for each other.” I was cry so badly at that time. One week I really don’t have good mood. I'm really moody.

Day by day I try to forget you. When I can forget all about you slowly, suddenly your names appear at my phone. Actually what you want from me? That time you said “I'm really sorry, I do not mean it.” It was really easy you said like that. You do not what I have to through, every night I was cry, and I hope the next morning you will text me. Now it is too late. I believe I can found someone better than you.

I was cry when I read this. She was strong through that. She taught me to be strong. You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have left.  You are so much stronger than you think. Better things is coming.

Cry.

Sometimes I feel it is better if we don’t know each other. I meet you, I only get this pain. This pain is really hurt. Every day I cry. Many times I try to forget about you. But it is really hard and the hardest things I ever do in whole my life. I really love you, but like you say before this, we are not for each other.  We are not faith to be together.

Once you say like that, I cry so badly. I’m really tired crying. You never understand what feeling I had to face it. I’m really tired. Hoping you will text or call me but it just waste my times.

Every times my phone vibrates, I really hope it was you. I’m just keep waiting. This is really hurt to me. Why you give me a hope? Why you act like you love me? Why you act like you really care about me? Why you have do that to me. I really don’t understand. You just leave like that. At least say something before you leave.

I hate you. 

Friend?

Are you really my friend? When you’re happy you never ever remember me, and when you got any trouble, that time you will find me to story all about your problem. What kind of friend are you? I feel so sad actually. I really hate when friends change just because they meet new people.

Have you ever remember me just for once when you’re happy? I really disappointed towards your attitude. I'm not jealous at all when you got new bestfriend. It’s up to you. But why when you got troubled, you don’t tell to your ‘bestfriend’ about you problem? Why you have to find me?

I'm really sick of that. Actually what you want from me? I'm really tired. Once I thought you’re not my friend anymore. I hope one day you would change. 

Someone Better

Maybe you are not fate to be together with someone you like. Because I believe someone better than her or him would come along. Yes, you will get someone better. It surely will. If you like anyone the most important is don’t lied to yourself. When you started like someone you will deny it at first.

Like someone is normal feeling. Because we normal human and normal human need love. Let say, if you like her or him, but they don’t know and you only just can watch them. It’s really sad right? It is okay I know that feeling, everyone knew that feeling too.

Sometimes, we got hurt when our crushes with someone who can make them laugh, smile more than us. Sometimes, you cry so badly. Sometimes feel bad. Sometimes you can’t stand anymore. Sometimes you feel fool of yourself. You afraid to tell what were you feeling because you afraid she or he will reject you.

So what should we do? I can’t tell you how because you know  what you have to do. Ask yourself.

MUSIC

I love to listen to music, but I am like other people who often listen to the music that is popular at a time. The part of music that attracts me is the attitude of the writers and the tone, because the songs represent the writers’ mood and feeling. Through the songs people can receive what the writers try to express.

Everyone experiences certain moments where you want to express yourself in a different way and sometimes music is the best companion during those moments. Sometimes you just want to lie down, listen to your favorite music and just forget the world. We all just want to relax and take our minds away from our problems even for just a little while. Music is anyone’s way. Anyone’s way to express, to relax, to enjoy, to communicate and many more.

Music can be a great help to anyone if we just let it.

MY FAVOURITE MOVIE

I'm going to write about my favourite movie, Titanic. It was a touching love story with a background of a loss of Titanic in 1912. The Director is James Cameron, and the Release date is 20 December, 1977. It won 11 Oscars and another 76 wins & 48 nominations. It's very famous movie as you know. The main cast is Leonardo DiCaprio. He played Jack Dawson who was poor and wanted to be a artist, and Kate Winslet played Rose Dewitt Bukater who was rich girl in the upper classes. They're being loved each other... Now, Rose becomes 100 years old and she talk about their love story in Titanic.

In 1912, Jack won a bet and he got a ticket of Titanic which go out maiden voyage from Southampton harbor in the United Kingdom. Rose is also bored, and her mother (Farances Fisher) forced her to marry Caledon (Billy Zane) who was capitalist, so she tried to jump off from the prow of the ship, and then, it was Jack that helped her. They fell in love.

However, Caledon made a false charge against him, because he noticed Rose loved Jack not him. He put handcuffs on him and confines to the cabin. Moreover, the ship clashed against the iceberg. The passenger gave priority to women and children, but she went back to ship to help him. They waited for rescue in the cold sea. I watched many passenger died, so I was shocked by the scene. Rose was rescued by Jack's help but at last, Jack was dead.

Rose survived, but she lost her lover. She will love him forever. It's really bitter love story, so I always felt sad after watching it, but I think it's the best love story.

In addition  I like this theme song'' My heart will go on'' It's a very beautiful song, isn't it? It makes the movie more sad.

THE PERSON I LIKE MOST

Of all the people in the world, I like my dear mother the most.

Everyone knows that mother’s love is the greatest in the world. When I see how my mother behaves towards my father, brother, and sisters and me, I am filled with pride. In everything that she does, there is a touch of love. Even when she washes the dishes, she make sure that they are clean so that no one in her family will become ill.

Though she sometimes scolds me, she scolds because she love me. She do not want I make a same mistake anymore. The way she loves her family is proven every day. I really love my mom cooking. Yeah, everyone love her mom cooking. When I want back home from my collage, I would call my mom to cook my favourite food.

Every day, my mom would call me. In one day, three or four time she would call me. Every morning my mom will call me to wake me up. When I got problem, I just call her. But I do not tell her my problem. Just heard her voice, all my problem go away. But I think she know  I got problem, that was mom instinct.

DATO' SUDIRMAN BIN HAJI ARSHAD

Hello guys! Today I would write about Sudirman Haji Arshad. I surely everyone know him. Until today I still hear his song. He was a national icon, a great Malaysian entertainer.

Dato' Sudirman bin Haji Arshad (25 May 1954 – 22 February 1992) was a Malaysian famous singer and songwriter. He had started his career after winning the "Bintang RTM" on 11 August 1976. Besides, he is the title holder of "Asia's No. 1 Performer" on 19 March 1989 as he won the ‘‘Asian Popular Music Awards’’ competition in Royal Albert Hall in London. He was known as the "Singing Lawyer", the "People's Singer" and the "Elvis of Malaysia". He is also a multi-talented person as a singer, entertainer, composer, lawyer, writer (memoir and children books), cartoonist, entrepreneur and actor.

In April 1983, Sudirman sang a song for the late Puan Sri Saloma titled "Mama". When Sudirman approached her shortly before her death, Saloma expressed her disbelieve with tears - that someone like Sudirman would still remember and make a song solely on her.

As Sudirman was known by many as "Malaysia's No 1 Entertainer", he was chosen to perform for Malaysia's SEA Games closing ceremony in 1989 and many others such as the opening ceremony of Sepak Takraw competition, Merdeka, New Year and other national functions. In most cases, he would use his own money to ensure a successful concert.

On 17 July 1991, Sudirman was admitted to Pusat Perubatan Tawakkal Kuala Lumpur (ICU) for 4 days. It was reported that he collapsed while singing at Butterworth, Penang. He died at 4 a.m. on 22 February 1992 at the age of 37 in his sister’s (Datin Rudiah) house in Kuala Lumpur after 7 months suffering from pneumonia. Hundreds took part in his funeral procession. First, his remains were sent to his hometown in Temerloh, Pahang. Later, he was laid to rest at Chengal Muslim Cemetery, Temerloh, near the graves of his parents.

Sudirman Haji Arshad is the best singer ever. He did Malaysia proud when he put up one of his best singing performances.

KOMPANG

The sound of the kompang are often heard at local functions especially at Malay weddings, at events to welcome VIP guests.

Kompang is a traditional hand drum played in groups using interlocking movements to produce various composite rhythms. it is played with legs crossed when sitting, while standing or walking during processions with players using one hand to hold the drum and the other to strike it.

Originating from the Middle East, this instrument was brought to the country during the days of the Malay Sultanate by Indian Muslim traders and through Java in the 13th century by Arabic traders and missionaries. in the early days, kompang was known as rebana, which is drum in Arabic. The Malay word kompang loosely translated means 'to hit or beat'. some kompang groups have the jidor or the Javanese drum in the ensemble.

Kompang also used to accompany choral singing or zikir or Selawat Nabi (praises to Prophet Muhammad) but now it is also featured in rock songs and joget numbers.

The size of kompang varies from 30 to 43 centimeters. The shallow wooden frame of the drum is made of leban wood which is light and goat hide is nailed to the frame using metal nails. Cowhide is not suitable as it is ticker and it does not produce the desired sound when struck. Previously, kompang was totally made by hand from the shallow frame to the nailing but now producers are machines for the frame, making the job much easier. 

                                              This is kompang.

BUKIT TINGGI, WE HERE GO!

Last month, my family and I went to Bukit Tinggi, Pahang. I went there togather with my big family including my aunt, my uncle, my grandparents and my cousin. We just wanted to spend time together because it was not easy for us to gather around lately.

It is not too far from Kuala Lumpur. Bukit Tinggi is located in Pahang, just 48km away from Kuala Lumpur via the Karak Highway. It's one of the new highland in Malaysia apart from the well-known Genting Highlands, Cameron Highlands and Fraser's hill. We booked two apartment at there for 2 days 1 night.

The theme hotel is made up of eight blocks of architectural wonder, each with its unique style, from its colourful roof tiles to cobblestone ground. The hotel has several outlets, where you can dine in the French way. Central to the village is Colmar Square where the aroma of the blooms will tantalise your senses. There are fountains and park benches in the square for relaxation after a hard day's work browsing in the 17 theme shops, or should one wish to take a breather from participating in the various activities. The drawbridge reminiscent of ancient castles, clock tower with an original cuckoo bird clock, and the viewing tower complements the ambience.

Live bands and snake performances entertain the visitors on a stage. A clown juggles balls and pins, rides on his cycle, hops around playing tricks and acting merry. Authentic French food is served from sidewalk cafes and restaurants. The tables are placed strategically around the square so you can enjoy a meal.

SHOPPING MALLS

Festive shopping is an interesting activity in Malaysia as there are many shopping malls and complexes all over the country. Ampang Park is a special place for shopping in Kuala Lumpur. It was the first shopping complex in the country some 35 years ago.

The Mid Valley Gardens is a sprawling mall that carries many brands that cater to every member of the family and I like shop at there. Nilai 3, Negeri Sembilan, is a bargain hunters’s paradise. It sells everything from fresh food to furniture at low and reasonable prices. Queensbay Mall, Penang, is a popuar shopping mall. This mall has something for everyone and is a good place to shop. Shopping has never been so good. 

                                  This is Mid Valley Megamall at KL.

TRADITIONAL GAME

Hello guys! Today I want to write about traditional game in Malaysia. Traditional games were enjoyed in the past and we hope to be able to revive them.

Gasing Uri

This game is usually played among six and 12 players in a circle. One player will start by throwing a rattan ball to another participant who stands opposite. The receiver can either kick or butt the ball with his lead or chest several times. Then the ball is passed to another player. The rule to avoid letting the ball hit the ground.

                                  This is example the player play sepak raga.

Galah Panjang

In this typical tag game, the players are divided into two groups with a leader each. The tag leader usually starts by slapping the hand of his opponent. Taggers can only move horizontally on the given lines while the leader only moves vertically each player has to get past the divided areas guarded by his opponent without getting tagged. The game requires swiftness of movement.

HOW TO COOK MARIE FUDGE CAKE A.K.A KEK BATIK

Today I would like to share how to make kek batik. Its easy to make, not need to bake at all.

Ingredients

100g (3/4 cup) milo *

25g (1/4 cup) cocoa powder *

125ml (1/2 cup) boiling water

190g (3/4 cup) butter, cut into large chunks

200g (1/2 tin) sweetened condensed milk

110g (1/2 cup) white granulated sugar

5 eggs, lightly beaten

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

250g (1 packet) Marie biscuits

* You may adjust the amount of milo and cocoa powder to your taste, for example 1/2 cup milo and 1/2 cup cocoa powder.

1. Roughly break each biscuits into quarters, set aside. Line the base and two long sides of a 23cm x 9cm x 7cm deep loaf tin (or other loaf tin with a capacity of at least 5 cups or 1.25L) with baking paper, lightly grease the inside of the tin so the paper sticks to the tin, extending paper 2-3cm above edge of tin. Grease or line both short sides with a small piece of baking paper.

Slowly add boiling water to milo and cocoa in a saucepan, stirring vigorously until it is smooth. Add butter, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, lightly beaten eggs and vanilla to the saucepan.

3. Place over moderate heat and cook, stirring all the time with a whisk or a spoon, until you feel the bottom starts to thicken, about 5 minutes.

4. Turn heat down to low, and continue to cook, stirring without stopping, for about another 20 minutes, or until a thick custard forms.

5.Transfer the thick custard to a large mixing bowl, add quartered biscuits. Mix until all the biscuits are coated with the custard.

6. Transfer mixture to the prepared tin. Press down firmly so there are no air pockets in the mixture. Bang the tin on the bench a couple of times to settle the mixture, fold the paper extensions over the top and press down to even the surface. Then let cool to the touch.

                                       So this is our Marie Fudge Cake
