When You're Dizzy and Nauseous

Tuesday, May 31, 2016

Hi guise,



Dizziness
Nauseous
Mood swings

Aku syak aku keracunan sebab symptom ni memuncak masa Jumaat hari tu lepas aku ter-inhale shit loads of Ridsect. Seriously my trachea was burning. So aku beli air kelapa untuk tawarkan racun. Ergh.. teragak-agak gak nak minum air kelapa ni sebab aku tengah pantang air kelapa. Orang sakit urat kena pantang air kelapa sebab nanti urat bengkak, kata mak bidan kat kampung aku.

Even lepas kokak kelapa sekali ngan tempurung pun (exaggerate) aku still loya-loya dan pening-pening. Dah la asyik rasa nak pass out je. Perut aku lapar gila ni tapi setiap kali masuk makanan je rasa nak muntah. Tolong jangan buat lawak pregnant cam Kei sebab AKU TAU AKU TAK PREGNANT LA.. Aku nak pergi jumpa doktor pun payah ni sebab dia datang sekejap-sekejap. Pulak tu aku ni tak tau la mental ke apa, sakit cane pun bila jumpa doktor terus baik. Balik dari klinik sakit balik. Ha ha ha lawak sangat badan ni.

Anyway, macam yang aku bagitau tadi, agak susah aku nak pergi jumpa doktor dengan simptom merapu muncul ikut suka hati mak bapak dia. Aku rujuk google macam mana nak minimize rasa loya dan pening-pening ni and instead aku terjumpa tip yang bagus macam mana nak identify punca pening-pening dan loya. Document your symptoms.. Disebabkan rasa loya dan pening ni boleh diattributkan ke banyak penyakit, cara terbaik untuk beri maklumat awal kepada doktor adalah dengan catatan harian. Bila simptom tu datang, kat mana, ko tengah berdiri ke tengah duduk, sebelum ke selepas makan, masa dan simptom-simptom kecil lain yang mungkin terlepas pandang. Benda-benda ni katanya sangat membantu doktor untuk memahami apa sebab sebenar ko pening-pening dan loya.

Setiap kali cakap pasal pening dan loya je orang nak kaitkan dengan pregnant. Padahal stress pun boleh buat ko pening dan muntah-muntah. Evidently in the past, I used to throw up whenever I'm overwhelmed by my surrounding. It got so bad that my gum and teeth were affected by the acidic content from my stomach.  Selain stress, pening-pening dan loya juga boleh dikaitkan dengan inner ear infection. Last time I got an ear infection, it affected my hearing and throat but not to the extent of throwing up and losing balance.

Anyway, General Manager ternampak keadaan aku yang berayam sikit so dia push aku pegi klinik masa lunch. Nasib la ada akak yang baik hati tolong drivekan. So, turns out it's a combination of poisoning and hormone imbalance. Whatever that is, I think it's safe to say that I won't be eating properly any time soon. Bagus jugak ley jimat duit. Just jangan gastrik je, heh.

The Thing with Weddings

Tuesday, May 24, 2016

Hi guise,

It's the no comic edition again. So scram if you dislike no comic entries.

I wanna talk about weddings.
To be honest, I don't do wedding that well. By 'doing' I mean going. When you reach my age, wedding invitation is almost like a weekly affair. Somebody has to get married on every weekend. Which is understandable. It's the only time slot other than school holidays where people can actually spend time travelling to weddings.

When you invite me to a wedding, you have to know that I'm an infamous no show. Chances of me attending your wedding is as slim as me shedding 10 kg in 1 month; possible but requires dedication and tonnes of praying. Anyway.. Why is it so hard for me to attend wedding? Do I dislike weddings? Honestly, yes.. I dislike weddings. Hate is a big word so I think dislike would be more appropriate.

There are so many good things about wedding. The foods are amazing! If you go to an east coast weddings, you are going for a treat. Gulai kawah is like the most amazing thing you can find. Especially if they mix in the lungs. Arghh, that's the best part! And the sambal belacan is different from the usual ones you get for lunch. I don't know, maybe it's special only to me. I love wedding feast.. chunky meat in coconut gravy, feisty sambal, crispy ikan kering, masak lemak nangka and so many more. The list goes on and on.

The next best thing about wedding is the goodie bag, the door gift. I love it back in the days we used to get telur pindang as door gift. Nowadays you get can get so much more. a cup, a handkerchief, sweets, bahulu and sometimes, sejadah. But to me, getting the hard boiled eggs are much more satisfying than getting inedible items.

Enough about the good things. I can't think of any other good things anyway. WHY DO I DISLIKE GOING TO WEDDING?

THE CROWD
It's not a secret that I hate crowded places. I've written about this more than twice. I'm sorry if I bore you with my on going rant about crowd. It's not just about being around strangers. It's about not having control over your personal space. I can spend time watching movies in a room full of strangers and that doesn't bother me because everybody is seated to their designated place. I have a control over my personal space. It's different when you're not seated and just roaming around. Now imagine that setup in a group of friendly old people who would go up to you to salam which usually comes together with a wet peck on your cheek, warm hug and the socially accepted personal question; "Bila ko pulak nak kahwin".. Yeah yeah fun.

THE HEAT
I think it's only natural to avoid having a banquet during rainy season which is even worse. But it's weird how hot it can be during most wedding feast. It's usually held just after Zohor when the sun is shining ever so brightly. Some organizer would bring in fans and mist blower to help with heat. But it's just unbearable. Masa camni macam-macam bau ada.. Bau badan ngan bau ikan kering pun dekat sama je, lol. Sorry melawak je. Sebab lain kenapa panas sangat adalah perangai orang kita yang suka memenuhi ruang tamu tempat bersanding sampai bersesak-sesak. Suka lepak situ sampai sendat. Sometimes it feels like you are in an oven, waiting to be slowly steamed to death. Ok, exaggerate sangat hah.

WEEKEND FILLER
Sometimes it's not the wedding itself is the issue. Sometimes it's my own schedule. Tak semua orang free hujung minggu. Sure you can assume that everyone will make way for your wedding but not everyone has the privilege to do what they want with their weekends. Seriously though. I am not even married but my weekend is usually taken away from me by my work and classes. Kalau orang berkeluarga lagi la hujung minggu ni la nak berjalan dengan anak-anak. Nak-nak kalau kenduri tu kat luar kawasan. Nak kena travel jauh-jauh untuk menyahut jemputan. Aku minta maaf tapi lepas accident masa on the way pergi kenduri budak ofis dulu memang aku ada trauma bab driving kat Karak. So kalau korang punya kenduri luar KL dan terpaksa lalu Karak, memang besar kemungkinan aku takleh pergi.

It seems like I have a lot of excuses for not going to weddings. Mak aku selalu marah sebab takut takde orang datang time aku kahwin nanti dan aku taknak cakap besar cakap tak kesah kalau orang tak datang. Honestly it is sad when people don't come to your wedding. It's the time to celebrate the bride. It's the time to welcome a new member of the family. Of course you'd feel offended when people don't want to celebrate your special day. But it is also not okay to hate someone for not going to your wedding. Everybody has their own reason for not going to your wedding. Sometimes it's not personal and if it is personal, what can you about it?

Let's chill.

The Signs of Our Stars

Monday, May 16, 2016

Hi guise,

Korang percaya dengan zodiak tak?

Zodiak mengkategorikan sikap seseorang berdasarkan bulan kelahiran. Bagi aku agak impossible untuk seseorang yang lahir pada masa yang sama untuk mempunyai sikap yang sama sebab sikap tu sendiri terbentuk dari faktor persekitaran. Tapi aku tak nafikan yang aku sangat tertarik dengan zodiak. Bukan untuk menujum tapi dari segi kategori perwatakan.

Banyak yang tahu mengenai zodiak yang dua belas tu; Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn,Aquarius dan Pisces. Tapi banyak tak tau yang horoscope sebenarnya lebih detail dari satu jenis sign sahaja. Zodiac sign yang biasa korang guna ikut tarikh lahir tu sebenarnya hanyalah ruling house dalam horoscope ataupun sun sign. Kalau nak lebih detail kena refer sun chart ataupun birth chart yang kira sudut setiap planet megikut jam, hari, bulan dan tahun kelahiran. Every planet has it's specific trait and depending on how it aligns with your birth information, it provides a more comprehensive understanding on your behavior. Meaning, even though I am a Libra, some of my behavior would incline towards Scorpio or Capricorn. For example, my Venus is in Scorpio which apparently makes me very sexual or flirty. Being a Venus dominant, I am said to be very  sensual and emotional, particularly receptive to the natural likes and dislikes aroused by my contact with people. (Ye, aku sangat inclined ke sign Scorpio dan Capricorn for most of my planets)

Okay, enough about that. Tu dah terlampau detail and I doubt that you're that interested. Kalau minat boleh try check korang punya birth chart kat sini; DETAIL BIRTH CHART HOROSCOPE .

Update: If anyone curious, I'm a Libra with Capricorn ascending and Leo in Moon. My ruling planet is Venus. Libra is a cardinal sign. My element is the Air (Sun sign: Primary trait; who you are, who want to be; Ascending: People's first impression of you; Moon: the side of you that's not shown to many) 

Dan aku nak ingatkan, benda ni bukan nak menujum. Tak ada apa yang mengetahui apa yang berlaku kat masa depan, boleh ramal kejadian selain Allah. Kalau nak baca, bacalah dengan santai.


Adik aku Si Cauda tu pun minat benda-benda horoskop ni. Tapi lebih kepada nak poke fun to our distinctive personality as siblings la. None of my sisters share my sign. I'm a Libra, Oni is a Virgo, Cauda is a Pisces and Adik Nabe is an Aquarius. Sometimes the signs show a very accurate representation of our dynamic as sisters. For example:
Dalam kes ni aku rasa website ni silap kategorikan aku sebab dalam adik-beradik aku, aku la yang paling malas berjalan. Unless kalau dia maksudkan wanderers tu sebagai orang yang banyak berangan.. Mind wanderers. LoL. Tapi still salah lagi sebab adik aku yang bongsu tu takde pun perangai rebel. She's as chilled as cucumber. Tapi dia degil yang amat! Ohoh.

Hahaha.. Lepas baca balik baru perasan yang dia maksudkan adalah wonderers bukan wanderer. What the heck. Ada ke perkataan wonderer masalahnya?
Nabe memang lama dah aim hoverboard. Doakan dia cepat kumpul duit untuk beli satu. Buat masa ni, layan jela penny board adik tu. heheh.


Yang ni sangat tepat, I almost fell back laughing. ROFL. Adik Nabe memang anti peluk. Anti peluk dan anti kisses. Kalau aku cium pipi dia, senyap-senyap dia sapu pipi sambil buat muka jijik. Mahal sangat aaaaahhh nak peluk adik bongsu aku yang sorang ni. 

Sampai hati ko mem-pfftkan kami, adik!

Gitulah lebih kurang cerita pasal zodiak sister ni. Korang macam mana? Korang pernah check tak zodiak sign masing-masing dan orang sekeliling? Bagi aku benda ni fun sebab kadang dia sangat spot on. 

All that being said, I truly believe that it's you who define who you are. Not some stars, not some planets, not the lines on your palms and not the order of you coming into this world. Take responsibility of what you did. Do not blame it on the stars. The fault is not in our stars, it's in ourselves.

Let's Talk : Beauty Standard

Monday, May 09, 2016

Hi guise,

Today I'm gonna rant talk about beauty standard and I won't be posting any of my artwork in this entry. Readers beware.

Macam mana aku nak mulakan topik ni ye sebab banyak sangat benda yang buat aku bengang kalau cakap pasal standard of beauty around the world. I'm pissed off because it seems like many people out there are still oblivious about beauty standard and how it affects perception over body image.

Ingat lagi tak ayat yang selalu orang dulu guna untuk describe kecantikan perempuan melayu?

Pipi bak pauh dilayang
Wajah bujur sirih
Hidung mancung bak seludang
Kulit hitam manis
Rambut bak mayang mengurai

Ini satu contoh beauty standard dalam masyarakat melayu dan beauty standard ni berubah mengikut zaman dan pendedahan terhadap budaya luar. Aku nak tekankan kat dua statement terakhir; kulit hitam manis dan rambut mayang mengurai.

Orang melayu dulu-dulu memandang kulit sawo matang itu cantik. Tapi sekarang orang kita nampak yang putih gebu tu menawan. Mungkin kesan white washing dari media. Rambut bak mayang mengurai pun lagi satu point. Ataupun rambut ikal mayang. Pernah tengok mayang tu macam mana tak? Macam ni haa..


So rambut ikal mayang ataupun bak mayang mengurai tu lebih kurang macam ni:

Macam ni lebih kurang?

Pernah beberapa tahun lepas rambut lurus yang jadi kegilaan sampai semua pun nak buat rebonding untuk dapatkan rambut straight macam artis Taiwan. Lepas tu muncul style ala-ala orang latin amerika pulak.

Bagi aku dalam masyarakat melayu ni, standard of beauty ni takdelah diagugkan gila-gila sampai orang nak bunuh diri kalau hidung terkembang sikit. Tapi ada dalam sesetengah budaya yang lebih mengagungkan standard of beauty. Contoh terbesar, South Korea.

Now, I know I said a lot about Korean in my blog. You can judge me as being a fanatic but I'd like to see myself as enlightened. So here we go. Standard of beauty is very important in South Korea. So much so that they go through plastic surgeries at the early age of 18. It is very common to hear about parents funding the children's plastic surgery. Now you might think, eeeuuww, desperate much?

Before you go around belittling them for being so obsessed about beauty let me remind you that make up is a form of modification. To Korean, plastic surgeries are like make up. It's very common and socially acceptable. And mind you not all South Korean are that keen about going under the knife. Some of them don't find it necessary. Some might say it is influenced by the kpop movement where beauty is so highly looked upon. (RIP English)

Kenapa aku tiba-tiba nak back up Korean yang suka bedah-bedah ni? Mesti sebab kau minat kpop kan Day? Sebab tu semua benda diorang buat, tak kiralah merubah kejadian tuhan pun ko sokong je kan? Ni bukan masalah sokong. Ini isu culture. Culture sana dengan culture sini berbeza. Does it mean that I promote cosmetic surgery to young Malaysian? No.. What I'm trying to say is, stop bashing them for something you can't comprehend. And stop generalizing them. South Korean does not equal to plastic face. Open your mind, peasants!

Same goes to tattoo, henna, beard and piercing. Stop being so judgemental. Even if you disapprove their choice of beauty doesn't mean that you should publicly denounce their identity. Beauty is a concept. It's a choice. It is subjective. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean that other people don't see it.

We are all beautiful. Open your mind. Do not be tied down by these standards that you can't appreciate the individual around you. Travel around. Meet the people. Understand why they think in such way. Kalau tak mampu physically travel around, google it up. Keep an opened mind. Embrace the difference.

Dan kalau ko jenis yang travel tapi still bising pasal budaya orang, sia-sia.. Sia-sia keluar duit pergi negara orang tapi tak nampak sisi budaya masyarakat tu.

This is Grace Neutral. She had her eyeballs tattooed, face carved and her belly button removed. Do you find her hideous? This is how she perceives beauty. If you disagree with her perception of beauty, that's fine. Just don't be a dick about it.

Everybody's a dick these days, religious or not.

Jengkel

Tuesday, May 03, 2016

Hi guise,

Hari ni aku nak membakar. Ya! Bakar bakar bakar!!!
Tiba-tiba je bakar. Mukaddimah takde, apa takde tiba-tiba bakar.

Tarik nafas.. hmmm.. Lepas.. fuuuuuuuuu~~~!

Aku nak tanya kenapa ramai sangat makhluk menjengkelkan di luar sana? There are reasons why I prefer to lock myself up in my room instead of going outside for you know, walking around and stuff.. Haih... Aku jenis yang suka terperap di rumah, tengok youtube, tengok cerita kat laptop. Tapi kadang-kadang aku terpaksa keluar untuk tengok wayang, beli barang dapur dan sebagainya. Dan masa aku jarang-jarang keluarlah terjumpa makhluk-makhluk jengkel yang menguatkan keputusan aku untuk taknak ada apa-apa interaksi dengan manusia in real life. OMG.. aku dah macam antisocial. Heh, a bit.


The Lift Blocker

Listen, if you push through a crowd coming off the lift, I'm gonna judge the shit out of you. This is common sense people! Bagi orang keluar dulu baru kau masuk. Dari yang muda sampai ke tua, tak- reti-reti benda simple macam ni. Apa yang dia duk kalut sangat pun tak tau. Aku kalau jumpa makhluk ni memang aku buat muka la. Muka clear cakap "Ko bodo"


The Questionable Parenting
Aku sentiasa merasa jengkel terhadap kanak-kanak. Here comes the boo.. Ye ye.. Aku tau, budak-budak biasalah buas tak terbendung. Masa aku kecik dulu pun buas yang amat. Tapi kalau kau bawak anak-anak pergi beli barang dapur dan kau tengok je anak-anak kau panjat sana sini tak cakap apa, sorry, kau ada masalah. Tolong KAWAL anak kau! Bukan sengih sumbing je tengok anak kau huru-harakan tempat tu. Yang jenis langgar orang ngan troli tu pun satu hal. Sekali aku lesing baru tau.


The Filth
Ok aku mengaku aku jenis bersepah kat rumah. Tapi perangai tu aku tak bawak keluar, tolonglah. Aku perasan kat Subway contohnya, takde cleaner. So basically doesn't that mean that you have to clean up after yourself? Bukan susah sangat kan? Kumpul sampah yang korang buat time makan tu, bawak tray pergi trashcan, buang situ. Korang nak basuh tangan gak lepas makan kan, so apa salahnya angkat sampah tu? Ni tak biar je bersepah atas meja. Orang lain nak duk situ pun tak selera. Tu belum cakap lagi pasal sos meleleh atas meja. Mulut jenis bocor tepi agaknya sampai sepah macam tu sekali. Nak tengok kes naya boleh tengok kat Ikea. Fuh, nampak sangat buruk perangai orang Malaysia ni.

The Campers
Yang ni berkait rapat ngan spesies kat atas. Suka hog tempat lama-lama. Sayang, nak melepak dipersilakan ke taman ye. Dah habis makan tolong blah. Boleh pulak buat muka tak bersalah duk kunyah straw time orang melilau cari tempat duduk. Apasal tak bawak khemah, camping terus kat meja makan tu? Takpun ko angkut la bangku ngan meja tu balik umah.


The Boobs Too Close To Comfort
This actually happened...

Makhluk ini adalah jenis yang tak paham personal area ataupun personal space. Kalau diikutkan dalam setting sosial, seseorang memerlukan ruang radius sekurang-kurangnya 1.2m. Itu normal okay. ITU NORMAL! So kau yang jenis nak berdiri dekat sampai berlaga bahu ni kenapa? Kita bukan tengah rapatkan saf nak solat jemaah, kita tengah beratur nak beli tiket wayang Kapten Murrica. Tolong jauh sikit lah. Tak puas menempel kat uterus masa dalam perut mak ke? Apa kau fikir kalau beratur rapat-rapat ni lagi laju ke line tu? Stop breathing on my neck, you perv. Aku tumbuk boobs ko nanti.

Aku seboleh-bolehnya taknak jumpa spesies manusia macam ni. Oleh sebab itu aku sangat merancang bila aku nak keluar dan berapa lama aku akan luang masa kat luar.

Rutin beli barang dapur aku sangat simple; parking dekat ngan lif, naik lif tingkat 1, amik bakul seret, pergi aisle sabun amik sabun Kao Attack ngan refill Ambi Pur, singgah ruang air, capai Yakult twin pack less sugar satu, pegi ruang daging, dilema jap pikir nak makan daging lembu ke kambing ke ayam ke, last-last amik semua jenis, pastu kalau terlebih rajin pegi aisle coklat amik 4 ketul Whittaker Berry and Biscuit, pastu beratur pi bayar. Biasanya tak sampai sejam setel. Record paling laju 15 minit sebab tak ramai orang beratur.

Kalau tengok wayang lagi laju. Naik parking tingkat atas, pilih Ladies Parking betul-betul depan pintu masuk tangga wayang, beratur beli tiket tayangan terdekat, kalau dapat masa lambat, pergi makan Subway jap pastu 5 minit sebelum masuk panggung singgah beli air ngan mini sausage combo, masuk wayang, gelak sorang-sorang sebab takde kawan, keluar panggung, balik.

Takdenya aku nak berlama kat luar buat orang annoyed dengan kewujudan aku. Aku harap lebih ramai rakyat Malaysia cuba untuk tidak menjengkelkan orang lain dengan kewujudan masing-masing. Jagalah perangai anda bila di tempat awam. Kalau tak mampu nak behave, jadi cam aku, berkurung dalam bilik sampai berkulat la sial.
