Ada hati nak beli baju budak-budak tadi.
Bukan untuk budak, tapi untuk saya teruntuknyepun.
Eh memang sungguh lawa tak tipu.

Kenapela baju grown ups tak buat lawa-lawa macam baju kids.
Tapi..
saiz XL pun tak muat.
Boooo..



Tihihihi..

Ya Allah, jadikan hati ini selalu ingin denganMu, selalu Ya Allah :)

Gifts of life

Salam aleik

Maktok is at my house.
It has been about a week since she was discharged from the hospital.
As well one week she's here :)

She fell down and suffered some cracks at her back bone.
The doc can't do anything since it's more to osteoporosis.
So the best treatment would be physio and medicine intake.

**
Maktok just bathed just now.
She was resting on her bed while asking me about what i ate and how's the food taste since i went out and ate with my friends just now.
She hardly eats now. Only my Mama's, Aunties' and Uncles' cooking will satisfy her craving for food.
Suddenly i remembered one thing.

PICTURES!

I ran up the stairs, went straight to my room, took a collection of old photos.
Photos of my Maktok and my Tok Abah.
Photos of me and my siblings when we were babies.

She was very happy.
Then when she looked at the pictures of my Tok Abah, she said..

"Hidung kembang!" while touching and rubbing the picture of his beloved husband.

I purposely walked away to give some valid moment for her to embrace her memories.
Somehow, i peeped her through end eyes. hehe.

I saw her eyes went teary when she again touched the picture gently.

"Habisla Farhah, pandai sgt bagi pictures, wrong idea! Booooooo!" i was talking to myself..

Feeling guilty, i went to her and passed her my picture when i was a baby. Oh yes, i was huge.

"Maktok, ni gambaq Ah, gemok kan!" trying hard to cheer her up.

"Ish ish, gemoknya, geram maktok tengok, mata sepet, tembam!"

And she laughed..
Being guilty again, i past to her one by one of my brothers' and sister's fat pictures so that she will continue laughing! Oh yes, we were bunch of fat babies masa kecik2 dulu! hehe..and it works! She laughed..hehe

She then took her tasbih, recite her prayer quietly and fell asleep..

I am reading  Letters to Sam by Daniel Gottlieb.

A non-fiction best seller.

An honest letter from a grandfather to his beloved grandchild, Sam.

I guess when it comes to books, i will always prefer to read something actual, certain and original.

Somehow, it contradicts with my dreamy characteristic.

So what?

I'm so enriched!

PERASAN!

Not everybody have the guts to be PERASAN!

Again, PERASAN!

hehe..

Okay, okay! My pupils unintended books are waiting. See ya'll!

I love you maktok. Mwah!

Dear Allah, diri yang kecil dan kerdil ini redha dengan semua dugaanMU. Maka temanilah diri ini untuk melaluinya..Amiinn :)

Salam aleik..

I just feel like going to the zoo now.

Talk to the elephants and play staring game with the lions.

Back to nature.

Feels the serenity in total.

**

If your heart is in your dream, no request is too extreme-Disney-

Yes. I guess, eventhow you are at 26 of age, you are just a 'big kid' when it comes to cartoons and Disney! Not yet adults..

hehe

Dear Allah, please stay with me and make me do so. Make me do so.

A Week of Race

Salam aleik..
Hello to all my sunshines :)

How's your week peeps? Happening tak? Well, mine was in a mix mode.

How i made a duck face when i got an 'abrupt' letter saying that  i have to be the Timbalan Pengawas for UPSR, yeah duck face. Memang sejak azali lagi kalau tak puas hati, my face with the-so-changing-ability will 'shine' first, then bila dah in a pacify state, something will definitely comes out from the duck's mouth. You don't expect duck to be quiet right?

Eh, why im talking about duck now? 

**

4 days i was off and away from school. At fisrt, rasa kaki macam ada stone cold steve austin la jugak. Berat betul nak melangkah. Added to the cause was that i had to carry the load of securing the UPSR papers! Tudia, mana la tak kecut perut! Pengawas biasa pun tak pernah jadi, inikan terus naik pangkat jadi Timbalan Ketua Pengawas. Phew.

But somehow, the best part was i had to get  myself going to the school earlier than usual since the school is in the 'logjam' route! 6.15 am. Lambat skit, memang alamatnya jadi pengawas UPSR atas highway. Ngee.

Then came the day.

I had fun actually! haha. I learned a lot! I tried my best to be the best apprentice for my Chief ay ay captain! And yeah, it was a perfect place if you want to lose weight. Mane taknya, satu paper kadang-kadang 2@3 kali naik turun tangga check memacam bagai. Oh, plus the heels okay. Memang kaki macam nak hantar pi servis ja, exceed kilometers.

 Oh, last day masa nak balik rumah baru perasan my shoes ada lubang kat tepi.  Those 4 days i was wearing shoes with a 'peephole'! Tak senonoh. Hehe.. Yela, keluar pagi2 gelap lagi, balik rumah main bukak je kasut sebab dah penat tak ingin pandang left right..memang la tak perasan..Maaf :)

Dan, memang sah-sah lubang berbentuk gigi tikuih! haha..Terus cakap kat mama suruh beware, our house dah kena invade without us noticing! Or maybe dia singgah je kot kat luar, since i'm too stubborn to arrange my shoes in the cupboard kan, amek khauu!

Okay, first time i paid a visit to The Chamber of Secret aka Bilik Kebal. hehe. It was on the last day when i had to follow my chief that looked like Santa Clause with the huge and heavy green sack. hehe. 

Yeah, i just love making myself look like a fool in front of  lotsa people. Memang dari first day dah ada problem dengan senarai nama budak yang ditulis dalam kertas yang panjang berjela and plus the carbon paper dan dilipat-lipat. Kalau salah buka dan bawa, memang la senarai tu akan tergolek macam red-carpet yang sangat panjang di atas lantai. That happened to me on the first day. Hebat! :)

On the second day, i was already a hustler. Clap clap! Memang clean and clear. Syabas Farhah, syabas! Maaf..perasan ni sikap sejak azali :)

TETAPI..

Bila sampai di bilik kebal, kena ceraikan pulak senarai nama yang berjela-jela tu. Fuh. Memang trus susah hati. Hampir 5 minit melopong tengok all the men teachers menceraikan semua kertas tue dengan penuh terror! Nak tanya, most of them were the Ketua and semua pun lelaki. Saya the only bunga yang dok ternganga kat situ. Takmau dah peristiwa namelist bertukar jd red carpet berulang lagi..Last-last..

"Cikgu, boleh tak tolong ajar saya macam mana nak ceraikan kertas ni so that tak berterabur? hehe.."

" Eh, kenapa nak ceraikan dia, nanti dia kahwin lain pulak.."

Haha. Sempat pulak masuk bab munakahat kat situ.

Then lebih kurang 3 orang ketua trying to show me the right way to tear those name list. Ternyata nak ajar orang lebih susah sebenarnya. Semua pun  dah confius. hehe

Then came the Chief of the Chief. hehe..Niat dia nak mengajar saya, but somehow he took and sorted out everything. 

" Yang ni lipat sini, yang tu lipat sini..yang nie masuk sini, yang tue masuk situ...aik habis dah?"

Hehe.

 I just need to arrange the papers accordingly. Yay! Alhamdulillah, tima kasih En Penyelia :)

So, all in all, lebih kurang hampir pukul 6 ptg baru saya selesaikan semua tugas di bilik kebal tu. Nak balik memang cari nahas, the traffic was building up. I headed to Giant, solah, then get myself one pack of Vitagen, 2 huge buns, one sausage and crab balls, konon-konon takut boring kalau jam.

Ternyata with all those food stock, still can't mend the patience to go through the stagnant traffic. Patah balik, Maghrib di Tesco, then makan dulu..makan lagi?

Then gerak balik, masih jam, redah jerlah..

**

Okay, i learned something about myself. I love to work in rush-hour. I just love the stream of adrenalin that will definitely pushes me to the limit. I love the speed. Atau nama lain kelam-kabut, hehe..But somehow it contradicts with my another side wish i hate to admit and carry with, i am a perfectionist. 

Eleventh hour doer  Vs  Perfectionist

Boleh ke dapat adamant result?

Somehow I did, at some case. hehe.

Indeed Allah is the best Helper. Thanks to HIM :)

And to summarize, suka juga actually jadi timbalan nie..my chief and friends were saying..

"Tahun depan Farhah dah boleh jadi ketua.."

"EEee..takmaula.."

Tapi dalam hati macam okay juga. Cuma yang tak tahan. Tanggungjawab sangat berat. Have to be very detail. Need to complete lotsa forms and the utmost important thing is, need to be super organized and equipped with knowledge.

Organized? Betapa Allah Maha Tahu. Selalu saya merungut pada Allah agar ajarkan saya menjadi organize dan pandai mengatur kerja. Allah berikan tanggungjawab ni, so that i learned to be one, BUT, somehow in a subjective way. Thanks a bunch Allah! tq! tq!tq!

Okay, cukup cukup sudah kot. Selamat tidur semua. Oh, sebelum tidur dan selepas bangun tidur, jangan lupa sedekahkan surah Al-Fatihah pada ayahanda dan bonda tersayang. Tak kira masih ada atau sudah pergi mengadap Illahi. Mudahan Allah murahkan rezeki ;)

Nite-nite

Love,

FarhahNur

Don' settle, Farhah

1. Get up and move

One of the best ways to “change the channel” of procrastination is to change your scenery. Rather than sit in front of your computer or TV all day, get up, do some stretches, jog in place, do pushups, and move until your frame of mind has changed.

2. Setup reminders

Setup a daily (or hourly) reminder that you should be working on something or at least not wasting your time (unless you have time to waste). You can also set up reminders that give you motivational quotes.

3. Get a motivation buddy

There is nothing like having someone on your side when it comes to making your goals a reality. If you start to slip into procrastination, your motivation buddy will get you back in the game.

4. Make yourself accountable

You can do this with people around you or even with your motivation buddy above. A great way is to announce your change publicly and be vocal about it. Hit the social networks, your blog, write letters, whatever it takes to make yourself more accountable to getting work done.

5. Create something everyday

No matter what it is. Artwork, photos, videos, a journal, some code, anything that gets you into a creative mood and gets you working.

6. Wake up early

The nicest part about waking up early is that it is quiet and still. You can concentrate on a few big tasks as soon as you get up and get a bunch of work done that would have taken many more hours during the bustle of the day.

7. Go to sleep early

You can’t wake up early and work if you don’t get to sleep early. We need to recharge and being tired is definitely a motivator to keep procrastinating.

8. Clean and clear as you go

Sometimes we see how big a mess is in our lives and rather than do anything about it, we procrastinate. If you spend 15 minutes a day or just clean and clear things as you go (email, physical cleaning, tasks, etc.) the load of things to do isn’t as big.

9. Cut the cable

Sitting in front of your TV isn’t a good thing (all the time). Beat procrastination (as well as save some money) by getting rid of your cable.

10. Just do it

We have all heard the excuses. So, rather than make up new ones, just hunker down and get to work.

11. Schedule time blocks

If you know that some tasks are coming up as due and you have a lot of work to do on them, take out your calendar andschedule some time blocks. This will give you a set time to work and help you beat procrastination.

12. Follow a task list

It’s hard to get stuff done when you don’t know what to get done. Have a task list with you to make sure that you have the right things to do at the right time.

13. Have a system

We recommend GTD, because, you know, it’s the best.

14. Don’t check email

One of the worst things that you can do when starting to “work” is check email. It will put you in an “non-action” mood. Instead, pull out your task list and work on a big task first. Check email later.

15. Destroy social networks

Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, everything. Turn them off completely to beat procrastination. Focus on the task at hand.

16. Time yourself

One good way to get to work is to set a specific time for yourself to work. Say, 25 minutes (ie. Pomodoro Technique). After the set amount of time, rest and do whatever you want for a little bit. Then work for a set of time again.

17. Track yourself

One of the best ways to know where you are spending your time and find free time to beat procrastination is by tracking yourself. There are a host of apps for doing this. Find your weaknesses and change them.

18. Automate when you can

If you hate doing some menial on your computer then try to automate it whenever you can. It will save you time and allow you to concentrate on more important, interesting things.

19. Create a playlist

Jam out to some music to beat procrastination. Create a “beating down procrastination to a pulp” play list that puts you in a state of flow with your work.

20. Identify and face your fear

Most times, we are afraid of something when we procrastinate. Try to find your fear and and face it. Then you can start creating and working.

21. Realize it will never be perfect

If you can’t work on something unless it is perfect then you should find a way to leave earth. Nothing is perfect. Make something real and awesome. That will be great enough.

22. Become mindful

Know what you are doing at all times to beat procrastination. Don’t get stuck in a mindless rut of web surfing, channel flipping, comment flaming, balderdash. Be aware of your surroundings.

23. Set “goals” for the day

At the beginning of each day identify a handful of things that you want to accomplish. Some say three things. It depends on how large the tasks are. Set a limite for yourself and work on each of them until they are done.

24. Give yourself a break

Don’t be too hard on yourself if you are having a tough time beating procrastination. Remember, you are human and we love to sit and stew in our own uncompleted mess of work sometimes. Just work hard to get out of it.

25. Stick with tools

You are reading Lifehack because you love the idea of productivity and productivity tools. I’m writing for Lifehack, because I love them too. Don’t let them control you. Trying to find the perfect productivity tool can be an excellent way to procrastinate.

26. Entertain yourself

Go to a movie, a play, an art museum. Getting away from work is a great way to beat procrastination as well as refuel your creative energy.

27. Work less

One reason we procrastinate is because we are trying to do too many things at once. Identify key projects and complete those first. You won’t feel overwhelmed and will be able to get to work.

28. Have some quiet time every day

We are constantly plugged in to our digital world. We constantly have music or sound on. It can be a overwhelming and stressful causing us to tune out of work and life. Give yourself at least 15 minutes of quiet everyday to refocus and be with yourself.

29. Don’t settle

Don’t think that “you are just lazy” and that “this is the way you are”. It doesn’t have to be and you don’t have to let it be. You can beat procrastination.

Conclusion

If you want to beat procrastination once and for all, these are the 29 ways to do. Pick the best one for your current situation and then get back to work.

Mr. M

Salam aleik.

Mayday! Mayday!
Rasa macam, rasa macam takmau rasa semua yang macam macam ni!

Kenapa tiba-tiba ada panic strike ni today?
Kenapa rasa semua-semua pun macam dah tak sempat nak buat?
Kenapa macam semua pun tak kena! Even bangun tidur pun rasa tak kena sebab tertidur on the first place!
Kalau dah tidur pun tak kena, there must be something wrong Cik Farhah, must be!

Semua ni salah MR M!
Your fault!
I told you to leave me tapi u degil!
And the worst part, i succumbed to you!

I feel bad and stupid like a meat in stew who can do nothing.

Ok dah Farhah.
Get rid of Mr M.
The tip says that you have to start at least 20 seconds of your task and then you have the potential to make that particular habit grows stronger.

Habit mende ni Farhah?

1. Tak tangguh keja
2. Tak tido sebelum keje siap
3. Tak tangguh keja lagi skali since this is my biggest enemy!

Saya dah rasa begitu serabut dan tak terurus. I need to stop, not tomorrow, but NOW.
Time is running out!
C'mon Farhah, make yourself accountable, you can do it!!

You've discovered who's Mr M?

Mr. MALAS!

Starry Night Wishes

Salam aleik..

It's already 1.30 a.m. and i don't even have the motivation to drag myself to sleep. Weird.
Next to me are piles of my pupils' books.
Lingering around, are mosquitoes whose never-ending job is trying to make me their late night supper.
They just do that everyday.
And make me wake-up looking like a dotted mushroom.
Thanks yaw!

And yes, please pray that i'll be fine tomorrow.
Dr Chew, gives me some good news.
Don't forget to deposit the money.
Get ready with nails and hammer.
Pick up the banner.
EG-Tukar.

Hope that everything will be super okay tomorrow.
Rabbi yassir wala tuassir.
Thanks for the help today dear Allah.
I just couldn't ask for more..
Alhamdulillah
:)

Week of Something

Salam aleik

Hm. Dah masuk 10 minit rasanya nak pilih ayat yang TERBAIK sebut macam kartun BOBOIBOI  untuk mulakan this entry. Sebab tak boleh lari dari ayat..

"Lamanya tak update blog.."

Kalau ada tarikh luput, mesti blog saya dah lemau dan tamat tempoh.

**

I could say that i'v gone through a week of something. Apa punya ayat la ni oh my English! hehe..Well, sebab wordless nak describe this week. Yang penting, banyak betul cik Farhah berjalan minggu ni, oh, dan makan. Bestnya kalau boleh bawak balik gerai koew tiaw sup Siam kat Taiping and Mee Udang kat Kuala Sepetang and letak depan rumah, ala-ala cut n paste..Memang no doubt la akan jadi belon yang sihat seperti bebola ketam yang sedap..ada kena mengena ka belon dengan bebola ketam? Oh my Bahasa Melayu! hehe..

Dan, pertemuan dengan two of my sisters who loves me very much which are Long and Kak Ijat, oh sgt syiok..you both love me kan? kan? Thanks for the cozy stay, thanks for the hand-to-grip when my shoes were behaving like foes towards me :) Kita jumpa lagi November ini yay! yay!

Yang penting, tahniah to my bff Syamilah and husbandnya Shahril yang sempoi! Buat Eyla, jangan nangis2 ye, and jangan lari balik rumah tau, tak baheekk..hihi..pandai cakap orang, diri seniri ada bran?hehe..

Oh another sweet friend of mine, Farhana, congratulations to you too..i know that you are the happiest person in the world now but still, forget me not, i can still be your crying shoulder eventhow Mr Haffiz's shoulder would be preferred by you now :p Jangan marah ye..hehe..

Okay, kejap lagi nak jumpa Naza and my other convent dearies. Naza dah nak ke Manchester..nak ikot bole? Register me as your pet rabbit and bole letak kat kargo! I have rabbit teeth and know how to behave like one! hehe..

Oh yes, i miss cuddling my bunnies :(  i'v got some kind of allergic effect going on now since im so into the rabbits.. Dr Chew said..

"No rabbits anywhere in the house, and you, no closer to the rabbits' hutch as well.."

Oh man :(

Sebab tue la weekend ni is a weekend of something..banyak betul ingredients for this week's recipe of life :)

Oh, mudah-mudahan Tahun 6 Nilam kesayangan cikgu Farhah akan sukses dalam UPSR!

Ingat, walau dalam bangunan sekolah dan atas kertas, kelas awak adalah yang terkebelakang, but, remember what we learnt today..

'I' is a special word. Can never be put with 'is' or 'are'..Why?

Because 'I' is special.

And who is that 'I'.

Hug yourself and that is your 'I'

I am Special :)

Doa cikgu sentiasa untuk kalian semua.

Help them Ya Allah.

Amenn..

Okay, nak siap jumpa besties!

Chop! Chop!

Wassalam.

Love, 

FarhahNur

Pujuk Hati
