Tired. n Tips for the Ladies

Assalamualaikum,
It is now 2am in the morning.

Went to the forum 'Baju Kurung bertemu Baju Melayu' @ Undercroft tadi. Was awesome and entertaining, as well as informative. Learnt a lot about what to do and not to do when you're with the opposite gender. There were two panels. One of them was the Timbalan Mufti Perak, Ustaz Zamri.

Macam pernah dengar nama tu dulu...tapi kat mana ye? Well, paper pun, it was sangat lah best~

Let me give you some tips mentioned during the talk - InsyAllah we may get something out of it.
Though the tips are for both genders, I think it is more relatable to us ladies. kan~~

- If you want to speak, make sure the things that leave your mouth is something good, not just full of 'taik ayam' ye. If the thing is not of something good to start with, adalah lebih baik we just shut out pretty little mouths


- Lower your gaze. (Heard this many times before? Sape yang buat?)


- Don't sit in pairs. Although this applies primarily to that of boy-girl. It is better if you prevent close proximity even between the same gender...if you feel that they are...ehem, ehem..tidak berapa nak lurus


-We girls must be serious when we speak. Our voice is not aurat to start with but it is how we make use of our voice. The intonation


example-
Kalau cakap dengan suami, boleh pulak terpekik dan melalak macam Jane cite Tarzan tu. Tapi time boss call..suare...Alahaii~~ pijak semut tak mati (betul ke peribahasa ni?)


Lastly, control your actions and movements
Please don't swing sana swing sini ye...kalau nak buat jugak, pergi la swing kat buai sana ye. Kesian kaum adam... 


Itu je lah from me. Ngantuk sangat mataaa. Esok was thinking of going driving but unfortunately, my JPJ test is going to be postponed. Fully booked babe! Kcian, Kcian (Upin Ipin style)

Tak pe la, ada hikmahnya kan~~
If I don't go driving...

I can prepare more for the test. Maybe Allah knows that I'm not ready yet
I can studyyyy (InsyAllah, kalau distractions tak ada)
I can continue all the event works that are put on hold


hehe~~

1st day of driving.

Assalamualaikum,

First of all, I would like to apologise beforehand to those who are reading this, well, probably 'yours truly' je yang read but anyways...I want to say sorry if this post will sound dull and boring. Having a severe case of mental blockage ATM.

So, guess what! I drove last Saturday. On the Road. First time. EVER.
Say what you may...noob ke ape ke but to me, it is such an accomplishment. Even though it was my 1st hour of driving after getting my L license, I feel like 'A BOSS'. Teehee

At first I thought we were just going to just drive inside the circuit. Ya know, the usual - hill, side parking and 3 pointer. I was 'heaven' nervous when I first sat in the driver's seat, thinking that I would screw up big time...just like the 1st time and get told off. Big Time.
Shockingly, with the help of AlMighty Allah, I was more confident and I was actually able to drive without constantly pressing the minyak and clutch at the same time and cause the engine to jerk and pass out on me. Like I did the 1st time. Noob. =[
Now I know why my parents never let me try driving in their car. Obviously they care about the well-being of their beloved belonging. Me, not the car la obviously. (...Ye ke?)

After making 3 rounds around the track and has parked the car at the waiting zone, my driving instructor casually said that we will be driving on the road today. This is how it goes, more of less-

Abg F: Ok, lepas ni kite pergi on the road
Me: Huh??!! (Automatically, my jaw dropped. )
*In my mind: *style African-American cakap* Oh no you di-ent (didn't) just say what I thought you said dowg. You gotta be kidding me. I'm still a child. You percaya ke you can still LIVE kalau you let me be on the wheel?!


Me: Tapi ni kan baru first day. Takkan nak drive kat jalan kot? Saya bukan nya terror drive.
(Dah kalut dahh~~)


Abg F: La...sebab tu lah ada lesen L. So boleh drive kat jalan raya. Kalau kat dalam institut tak banyak yang boleh belajar.....

ME : ZONE OUT


Tapi Alhamdulillah, dengan kuasa yang Maha Esa, a week has passed and up till today, I am still living healthily, with no body injuries or what not.


To say that everything went smoothly...hmm, not quite. It's a norm la right, for newbies to make many mistakes on the road due to inexperience or like me...just plain nervous at the time which resulted in bad body-brain coordination. 


Below are a few major miscommunications that took place between me and the instructor. Seriously, kena korek telinga lepas ni. Adoyai~


Red: Instructor
Blue: Me
Ok, here, signal right. Ohh. ok, ok. Easyy~ (Put on LEFT signal) 
Change gear, But as I've told you millions of time, remember to...   Oh, change gear? Ok (Terus change while pressing minyak. Those with manual car should know what happens) ...press the CLUTCH FIRST!
Ok, after that Shell signboard...slow down to 30 Ok, I can do this ( Pressed the gas instead of clutch, car speeds up.)


Ok. Ada lagi banyak but lets justs stop right here.


Ok la. gtg, Going downstairs to do a full body checkup. I think I know my condition anyways but sebab nak memalukan diri and to face the fact, I will just go. haha =p
