1)Wish you were here

I breathe in the air
That's fresh and cool
The smell of the ocean
The sway of the palm trees
Calms my mind.

Here,
There's no traffic jams,
No pollution,
Just the sound of the waves,
Rolling and crashing to the shore.

I saw a seashell,
An iridescent blue.
And it reminded me
So much of you.

Hard on the outside,
But soft on the inside.

I came here to find myself,
To find my peace of mind,
But I know now that,
Part of me,
Lies with you.

2)Island Getaway

There's nothing better,
Than the sound of the ocean,
The smell of suntan lotion,
The taste of coconut juice,
The warm of the shiny sun,
While I'm lying here,
And watching the people go by.

They look relax and calm,
While the kids,
Built sandcastles,
And the crabs are digging their hole.

There's nothing better
Than being on an island
Away from the hustle and bustle
Of the hectic city life.

On my own

I don't get it
Why must someone who's
Different than the others
Be ostracize.

Does everyone has too look the same?
Talk the same and act the same?
Do we have to conform to others?
Why must you pretend to be somebody else?
Just so that people will like you better?

I might not be like you and you,
But I know who I am.
I have my own stance,
I have my own opinions,
And I will not be denied.

My words are my own,
They are not yours or yours,
They are mine.

1.Let's warm up

A place where magic happens

A dash of this
A dash of that
And tadaah,a delightful dish.

It awakens the creativity,
Ingredients mix together
To create magic
An entice people with
It's bountiful offerings.

The smell of cookies
Freshly baked bread
Cream puffs galore
Wafts through the air.

A cabinet filled with goodies
An icebox with treats
Baskets of fruits
On the gleaming countertop.

Beneath the tiles,
The silence of the oven,
Lies fond memories,
Of birthdays,gatherings,
Of times that were spent
Together,creating magical dishes
That awakens the tastebuds.

a)Dance

Andy,
Don't you just love to dance?
I thought I never will,
But now it gives me chill.

Met Pat,Cathy and Peter,
They taught me how to be better,
At twisting and shaking
To the beat of sounds.

From foxtrot to salsa and macarena,
We move and move to the groove.

Oh how I wish you could join us,
And dance and dance,
Leaving everyone on the dance floor,
In a trance.

b)Pulling out my hair

Liyana,
Seeing these people having fun,
Made me really want to run.

There's no piece and quiet
And I'm getting tired.

They never stop dancing,
Or never stop asking
For me to come and join them.

They're making a lot of noise
And my vacation has turned
Into one big ruckus!

The Fasting Month

The fasting month is a month that I actually look forward for.And for so many reasons.I love having sahur and buka puasa with my family.I love going to the Ramadhan Bazaar with my family during the weekends and with my friends during the weekdays.I love the fact that it's a very holy month for the muslims all over the world. This year,I manage to start the fasting month by having my 1st and 2nd day if sahur with my family anf even breaking the fast with them.During this fasting month,a fellow muslim not only has to abstain from eating and drinking but they should also refrain from saying bad things about others,hearing bad things(gossip and such) or looking at bad things.And I have to say during this fasting month,I am definitely more diligent in doing my ibadah.

Also,people tend to say that people tend to lose weight during the fasting month but I think people actually tend to gain weight during the fasting month!Read it HERE and you have to admit that eating at night(after berbuka) does make you gain weight!You defintely can lose weight during the fasting month if you are careful over what you buy for breaking your fast but because we have refrain from eating for a whole day,we tend to buy food with our eyes when we go to the Ramadhan Bazaar.And then we eat and eat after we break our fast.My parents taught me to just have something to drink or a few dates when I break my fast,go straight to maghrib prayers and only after that I should eat something heavy and this is practice by my parents everynight during the month of Ramadhan.

And don't sleep after you have taken your sahur as it helps your body to digest the food better.During this Ramadhan month,I have break my fast with the following foods:

a) Nasi Kerabu-I had this 2 days in a row.
b)Murtabak-the ones in Puncak Alam is the best so far,not like the tasteless ones that is available in Shah Alam.
c)Dadih-I have tried almost all of the flavors from honeydew,strawberry,blueberry...
d)Ayam golek-to me the best ayam golek has to have a good marinade & a great dipping sauce and this has to be the one at the Stadium bazaar & the one in sect.17.
e)Nasi ayam-last year,I had this dish almost everyday!But not this year.This year my choices varies.
f)Kebab Melawati-to my brothers and me,they make the best kebab.I like their beef kebab.
g)Chakoi-the deep fried curlers.I hate the fact that they serve kaya as the dipping sauce because I like the spicy chillie sauce better.This one stall in sect.17 gave great chillie sauce with their chakoi but then a few days after,they changed it to kaya!

So far,this Ramadhan,I have been to 3 different bazaars.The one in sect.17,the one at the Stadium shah alam & the one in Puncak Alam.But I have yet to find the kuih that my dad & I like which is the tepung gomak.Last year they were everywhere in Sect.17 but now,they're nowhere to be found!I am not going to give up as there's still 2 more weeks to go!
