Harry Potter Series' Wisdoms (1)

 Nothing irks me more than people assigning the Harry Potter series as 'Children's Books' because it is anything but that. I grew up with the book and the book taught me a lot of things in life. I mean A LOT. So I'm gonna start dispensing those advice that taught me a lot to my readers :3

Meaning, to see the true character of someone, if he is kind or nasty or pretentious, look at the way he treats people of a lower station than him, rather than the way that person treats his equals like his colleagues or friends because if he's really worthy, he'll be kind to people who is below him.

This wisdom is not new-in fact we are told to be kind to people but this quote makes it fantastic because it is the truth; most people treat their inferiors like shit terribly when that person really needs not anybody's inconsideration because he already in that unfortunate situation.

Please be kind to others.

Baju Melayu Raya dan Abah

Assalamualaikum semua. Ada lagi ke orang yg baca blog nih? Hehehe maaf sbb dah lama tak tulis. Asyik update pasal Hunger Games sbb you know. Yeah. Hari ni nak cerite citer 'touching' sket. Not to a lot of people maybe but for me personally. Tentang my abah and baju raya.

Abah saya tidaklah mewah orangnye. Dia bekerja kerajaan maka dengan gajinye yang seciput itulah dia membesarkan keluarganya di KL-semuanya 7 orang anak + mak jadi semuanya 9 orang. Jadi mak dan abah byk berkorban. Mak ambil upah menjahit baju, jual kuih dan buat bunga telur- in short, dia seorang yang serba boleh. Hidup kami tak mewah tapi taklah melarat-apa shj tentang pelajaran kami akan dapat tapi kalau nak beli kaset, walkman, sori la heh

Abah seorang yg sangat berjimat. Tiap2 malam dia akan kira belanja rumah lol. Dia siap buat buku akaun perbelanjaan. Terpaksa, sbb anak-anaknya ramai... Tapi abah tak belanja untuk dirinya. Jam yang dia pakai sejak bujang (Jam mahal gak hehehe) dia pakai sampai hari ni. Kasut jangan cerite. Baju melayu pulak dia pakai yg mak jahitkan aje :)

Jadi, semenjak saya masuk universiti, rase ade duit sket (sbb dpt biasiswa). Saya berkenalan dengan ramai orang termasuk bff saya, A. A nih nak kate, hidup die lg susah dr sy. Saya slalu gak hulur kat die. Tp tiap kali raye die akan beli baju raye utk mak dan ayahnye. Sy pun terikut belikan baju utk mak dan abah.

Masih ingat lg kali pertama beli baju utk abah dan mak di Giant Shah Alam. Baju mak tuh keluaran Avon, RM30 je tp cantikkk sangat bagi aku. Dan baju melayu utk abah pn RM30 ikut taste aku yg tahke bende tah. Mase kasi kat mak ngan abah, mereka pelik sbb mereka x didik aku utk belanja barang utk mereka. Abah siap cakap "dia tak kisah takde bj raye"- ayat le tuh hehehe. Tapi aku buat degil gak. Every year aku akan belikn bj raye, sampaikan adik beradik aku semua terikut2 belikan baju utk mereka (seronok rasenye)

Nak buat cerite, tahun lepas sy terlupe langsung beli baju raye utk mak ngan abah. Sibuk sgt sejak sek masuk pengetua baru dan dibebani tugas2 yg macam2. Masa bulan puasa siap kene tanda kertas muet lg, masha Allah. Nasib baik ada adik belikan baju raye utk mak. Tah macam mane terlepas pandang beli baju abah. Ingatkan adik dah beli. Jadi pagi raye tuh abah suruh adik bongsu tuh gosok baju die dan semasa abah bersiap2 gi masjid, terpandang abah pakai baju lama (tp masih cantik). So, mulut bacul nih terus tanye,

" takde baju lain ke Bah?"

Abah terdiam. Tapi dia jawab gak,

" takde baju baru tahun ni. Tp baju lama pun ok jg "
kire camtulah abah jawab. Nada die biase je. 

Saya pandang muke adik2. Pastu masing2 kate diaorang ingatkan aku dah beli sbb memang aku x pernah

terlepas beli baju utk mak abah... Masa tu hanya Allah aje yg tahu betapa sayu hati ni tgk abah senyap2 pegi masjid. Dia cakap 'it's no big deal' but it was, to me. I was a lousy daughter. Lepas terus peringatkn diri utk jgn lupe lg beli utk tahun depan...

Bermaksud tahun ni. Jadi sgt gembira sbb dah beli baju utk abah, and mak, err... die byk tempah baju raye hari tu, grand rupenye mak I ni lol. Beli baju yg simple utk abah, sbb dia refuse nk pakai baju kaler terang sbb dia kate die dah tua (though sebenarnye abah nih cerah and still ensem so pakai bj terang xpe tapi xpelah...) Baju yg sy beli utk abah sebijik cam gambar kat bawah ni tehehe

Adik2 kata cantik, so berehh... Next year nak carik baju cam baju raihan kat atas tu :)

Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away". 

__________________________________________

This is a powerful poem-it describes a story told by a traveller who

finds the remains of a vast statue of a very powerful but arrogant

king named Ozymandias who claimed that people should 'look at him

and despair'. The irony is the written pedestal claims such greatness,

nonetheless, all of that greatness have been destroyed and levelled by the

sand.

In conclusion, no one is most mighty. Even great people will die.

Do not put greatness into yourself or perceive you are higher than

others. In the end, we're dust and sand.

Hunger Games: Loneliest, Saddest and Most Damaged

Is what is written above true. Maybe. But it's oh so cool. My favourite trio.

I'm soo looking forward for Catching Fire-don't let me down !

(Photshopped) Catching Fire Pictures

The following images are as mentioned above but doesn't make it less awesome!

The Wedding Dress?

Men of Catching Fire. ~swoon~

soo gorgeous!

Catching Fire pictures

I have no words. The latest teaser is clever. Very clever. Withholding the tournament, it hints on the Tour of Duty done by Katniss and Peeta and we see the glimpse of the revolution. However, not spoiling, I'll just upload two images I like so much from it.

My guess this is when they stop at District 11

Haymitch potecting Katniss during The Whipping

I. am. stoked. Ok, there are also a bunch of 'portraits' released way before the trailer, aptly called 'The Capitol Portraits'. I'll post what I like tehehe

Notice the ray shade on his coat, symbolising his 'grayness-y'?

simpleton outfit
