VACATION INFO



It is not the name that attract me most but the atmosphere.There's always a soft spot in my heart for Malay heritage and culture.The uniqueness and warmth of the surrounding as well as the feeling of connecting to my 'root' make me like it even more and more.This probably not an 'economy gateaway' place but surely one of the nicest one in the country.

Located on the secluded coast of Merang this classical Malay Architecture inspired by the Sultan’s palace of ancient days blends harmoniously amidst a charming fishing village and coconut grove. This nine-acre royal retreat offers not only a luxurious stay by the sea but also a unique cultural experience with services expected by a fine hotel like no other in Malaysia. The Aryani is truly an epitome of Malay culture.

review from itravel.com
The Aryani Resort is a miniature jewel set in a tranquil garden filled with flowering shrubs and shady trees. The Aryani Resort's twenty self-contained villas range from elegant art decor to the ambience of a lovely old heritage suite.
Soak in the heritage spa with its herbal aromatic baths, or merely laze in the sun on the deck of the Pilau Beach club overlooking the ocean. Then, in the gentle tropical twilight, listen to the mellow sounds of a Gamelan concert wafting across the lawn, while dining on specialties of East Coast cuisine specially prepared from traditional recipes


Some of you probably have seen a part of the resort 'special' place in Perempuan Melayu Terakhir.

The Precious Togetherness (versi melayu)

Raya sempurna disambut.

Pertama kalinya rumah penuh dengar sedara-mara sejak arwah opah pergi.Lengkap semua 9 orang anak-anak opah (kecuali Ayahnda di negara matahari terbit).Lebih kurang 30 orang dirumah malam tue.
Pagi-pagi raya dah kecoh berebut bilik mandi nan satu.Haha...kelakar betul bila semua taknak mengalah..pernah tengok cerita P Ramlee seniman Bujang Lapok?Beratur berderet depan bilik mandi..haha macam tu la rupenye!
Lepas tu ramai-ramai ke surau depan rumah untuk solat aidilfitri.Dengar suara adik-adik sepupu yang kecil kecil (4-8 tahun) mengamin kan bacaan imam..hehe kuat betul!..tak khusyuk sembahyang dibuatnya tau.
Lepas solat ada yang berjumpa-jumpa kawan kawan lama,kunjung mengunjung..sayang sekali kawan-kawan saya semuanya pulang ke kampung masing-masing jadi saya terus pulang ke rumah buat apa yang patut.
Malam adik-adik kecil seronok berpesta bunga api pula.Mujur udara malam segar betul malam tu.sejuk dan nyaman. Makin seronok la adik –adik melompat-lompat dan berlari-lari.
Jiran pulak buat pertunjukan bunga api pula.Mana dapatnya bunga api mahal tu tak tau la.Lama jugak tengok pertunjukan bunga api yang bak masa hari merdeka dan sambutan warna warna Malaysia lagaknya.
Yang selebihnya duduk bersantai berbual,usik mengusik,bercerita-cerita,minum-minum (entah berapa teko teh,nescafe dan milo panas tah di ulang buat malam tue..dah tak terkira saya..),makan-makan (resmi orang Malaysia kan.)
Petang Raya ke3 seekor kambing tumbang untuk aqiqah sepupu kecil Wan Imran Arif yang tak henti-henti menangis pasal gigi nak tumbuh..sian die demam.Kambing 30 kilo selamat di sembelih dan di lapah oleh Pak Karim jiran merangkap penternak kambing sendiri.Dapat la ilmu sedikit macam mana akadnya dan caranya majlis di buat. Esok tengahari nya lepas Zohor kenduri dibuat.Kambing selamat di masak kari ala pattani.Tau tak?Kari kambing campur dengan umbut pisang.Sedap sangat.Hidangan juadah kampung kecur air liur dibuatnya.Selesai majlis kami makan ramai-ramai di depan.Bentangkan seprah memanjang bersila dan bersimpuh ramai-ramai.Selera makan jadi berganda-ganda pula.

Magisnya bila buat sesuatu perkara beramai-ramai.Bila lagi la peluang sebegini datang lagi...

Cinta itu seumpama serangkai mutiara... kadang-kadang ia putus dan kita perlu mengarangnya sekali lagi. Kadang-kadang ia hilang, lalu kita harus mencarinya semula... tetapi kadang-kadang kita tidak mungkin menemuinya lagi; walau di mana-mana pun dan walau sampai bila-bila pun. Atau mungkin tiba-tiba kita telah menemui mutiara yang lain pula? Lalu perlukah kita karangkan semula cinta baru itu di tangkai hati kita?

nak tau lebih lanjut?Bacalah Rindunya Kian membaraSaya sudah..*grin

EVOLUTION

To become a beautiful butterfly you must be a caterpillar first. Evolution counts if you wish to keep up with the world as world change and grow faster than we consciously realized.

How marketable you are? Question that I asked myself more frequent lately. Am I choosing the right path? How would it affect my life as a person, a lady, a daughter and individual in society? Why am I keep messing my mind with all sort of unanswered question? For I can't help my self from not thinking about it.
My management lecturer Dr. Bien once said that;
We can carefully put in all sort of plan for our life, but so very little portion of it goes as planned.

So in order to keep up we need to evolve. Evolution happens from the early beginning of time. How we human evolves and adapt to surrounding - Paleolithic, Mesolithic etc. In career, evolution happens as industry it self evolve. At some point of time whatever skill you have, seem irrelevant and at that time you start questioning your self why am I learning all this in campus if in the end after all the ceremonious graduation you end up stood there and listening to your superior saying that your skill are irrelevant to the work or worst still to the industry. I might have not facing such rejection before but I know some people who have experience it.

I have chosen this path for now. Swinging from one line of mastery to the other seems illogical to certain people as they feared of becoming 'blur' or 'dumb'(prior to lack of knowledge in the area) around new colleagues and to start it all over again. If I were to say that I am confident enough that I can succeed in new field then I am a big liar. I haven't feel so fearful in my life as opposed to what I feel now. The same fear as others when they wanted to venture in to the world of unknown. As singles into marriage or as child into adulthood.

But the fear it self also a driving factor for me to move forwards. My curiosity in seeing the grass in the other side which were always told to us as greener that the one we step on push me to stay firm on the choices I've made. I don't want at the end to use the word 'what if' when I let this golden opportunity slip right out of my hand.

I was and am still hoping with all my heart that the grass are actually as greener as what people said it was on the other side when I actually step on it. I'm hoping and hoping it badly to be true. If not I'll consider it as another twist in my unforgettable experience in my path of life for people make mistake and wrong judgment and that's teaches us to be a better person.Two more months to face it.

The unexplained...
I keeps dreaming of Vivaldi and the mocking bird.What the heck is vivaldi and what is mocking bird?Those two words keep appearing in most of my dream lately either in the form of books,words on paper,poster or signboard.Wierd huh?

The uninvited stranger..
Being alone in bus stop at 6.45pm to 7.15 was not a good idea.Believe me I experience it last Monday.I forgot to bring house key to class so I end up waiting at bus stop for my aunt to come.Sian die kene tukar program..dah sampai KL kene patah balik pulak.*sigh.It was scary,time flies slowly and you feels very insecured.First anjing-anjing punya hal.I just don't understand..apala anjing-anjing tu buat kat situ..stray dogs ke.Tension betul anjing-anjing tu asyik ikut je mana aku jalan.So what I do was..I cross the street several times,walk a few meters and then turn back and walk again sampai diaorg dah tak nak ikut dah.Huh...takut anjing la..tak suke!!Then the worst kind of stranger..two guys in a van keep appearing at the the bus stop several time.Pusing- pusing banyak kali.Lepas tu kacau-kacau orang pulak.Bodo betul.Then they stop their van near the bus stop.Rain was pouring down heavily.Traffic start becoming thinner and thinner.Al maklumla waktu berbuka.Scary feeling mounted up every single minute.Pegang payung kuat-kuat in case I need it badly.Tiba-tiba rasa menyesal tak blajar self defence sampai habis.Bukan apa takut diaorg tu penculik ke,peragut ke,perompak ke atau paling teruk perogol.Pandang-pandang senyum-senyum...tumbuk kang!But after a few minutes diaorg blah.Lega rasanya.And then I saw a glimpse of my aunt car.Huh lega.lepas nie tanak terlupa bawak kunci lagi..cukup la sekali..

The Rainbow Connection

Words and Lyrics by Paul Williams and Kenny Ascher

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told, and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see
Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

Who said that ev'ry wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me
All of us under its spell,
We know that it's probably magic.

Have you been half asleep and heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors
I know it's one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm s'posed to be
Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
