Ameerah Care January 2024

Saturday, January 20, 2024

 

Bismillah. Assalamualaikum. 


First Ameerah Care program of the year, but this one on a smaller scale. We received info on one young lady whose house got damaged due to ribut kuat recently and we went to ziarah and donation. 


Since we just went to a single house, there's only few of us who joined.



Arrived at her house in AU3 Hulu Klang around 10am. She stayed with her twin and both of their parents already passed away, her mom during Covid-19. 


We chatted for a while and she showed us the damage to the roofs. The cost to repair was around RM12K and it took one month for her and the twin staying out of the house because it was unsafe. 

The interesting part, she is the mommy to 30 cats. yeah i repeat 30. The cats actually had a cat house right in front of the house but due to some issues, they can no longer stayed there for now and being housed in a room inside the house. 

As someone who is scared of cats, i do not at any time go near the cat room haha. My other friends did and took some pics. 


A small donation from Ameerah Care. Thank you to all the contributors. 


The cat house. Quite big i think. 

Some photos before we left. Thank you for the hospitality. 



And then i had Iced Caramello Cappucino @ Richiamo Coffee, UIA and finished the book i was currently reading. Love the ambience, as always ;)


That's it. Till then. Bye. 

Senna (2010)

Saturday, January 20, 2024

 

Hi. 



During the winter break of Formula 1, i watched this documentary of Ayrton Senna, a Brazilian F1 racing driver. He won three World Drivers Championships (WDC) - setting 65 poles and 41 GP wins. 




I knew he was the one who LH looked up to, but only when i watched the docu - i learnt that he died during a race - an accident in San Marino Grand Prix 1994. 


He was only 34 back then, and before the race he actually was undecided to race or not to race for the GP due to the weather condition i think at that time which caused another driver's incident just before that. He was fighting for the racing safety as well. 


He actually died on the scene which was a grave incident for the motor racing. 


Halo - the invention introduced in 2018 greatly proven to save many lifes of the drivers although it received lots of negative feedback in the initial stages. 


Amongst the incident that could be fatal to driver was the Romain Grosjean whom now referred as the man who walked out of the fire - he eventually decided to retire after that. 


The docu also covered the tension between Senna and Prost during those period of times. 


Loved the docu. Need more of this kind of documentary. A great watch! 






Sukan PASTI 2023

Sunday, November 26, 2023

 

Assalamualaikum. 



Today, I volunteered as petugas for Sukan PASTI (SUKPA) this year and as has been practised some years now, the event is split into three dun - Gombak Setia (GS), Hulu Kelang (HK) and Sungai Tua (ST) respectively. And the venue for GS this year for the first time is in front of my house - SMK Sg Pusu :) 



Persiapan program di padang the day before. 


The field was extra muddy due to the rain and even worse than last year's venue at Pinggiran BC. 




Gerak dari rumah around 7.30 am and the traffic was as expected and stucked for 20 minutes i think. We were told earlier there may not be enough parkings for the petugas inside the school and all the parents are not allowed to park inside too. But, i just tried and asked the petugas Jabatan AMAL if I could go in, he said no. Then, i was trying to park roadside in front of the school gate and the pakcik seeing me struggling to double park knocked my window and said i can park inside hihi much appreciated!


Yeah, we arrived earlier for another set of preparation (not much) before perbarisan started. Basically, we were tasked for Kumpulan 4 Tahun. There's a lot of waiting, and guess what the field's condition was no where near better than yesterday bcoz of the late night rain. Life goes on, anyhow just to be extra careful not to get feet locked in the mud. 


We had nasi lemak for breakfast and I was a tad angry haha knowing there's no water bottle being distributed (i brought my own normally everywhere but they always always - yes that's no typo, have water given out to volunteers all this while) - later on, learnt that there's misscomm within the petugas and the wanted water bottle only arrived at the field at noon, right when i was leaving the venue. 



Posing with all the volunteers for Acara 4 Tahun, SUKPA GS :)




There were altogether four categories and separated for the boys and the girls - total of eight rounds. The nice thing this year - they revamped all the acara from previous years and 'twas good watching the new games. 





It was funny - I saw one parent brought the child for the boys games - and I told him, no encik - sekarang ni acara untuk boys dulu, acara girls next - the child still lined up and i quickly realized anaknya lelaki adoi, cuma rambut panjang sikit macam girls and apologized. Sorry. Pastu baru teringat kan pelajar perempuan kat PASTI semua pakai tudung :D




One with K Ina..




and lastly,




The after effects of padang penuh selut.. 


And, i rushed home and get ready for home tuition at 3pm with Aniq. 


That's all for now. Bye.

Badminton with Buddies

Assalamualaikum. 

It's Saturday and I joined this program today. 




10.30 am - off to the Brainy Bunch Sports Park with Malini 


Arrived there around 11.10 am (fetched another friend on the way). 


Some of the committees already arrived and we started the warming up at 11am and everyone is free to play. The concept is play for fun and not tournament. 


Here are some shots of the day..





We played until 1 pm before gathered around for a short closing speech and a lucky draw, with the number 1 prize is an air fryer.  


Snapping pics in between..



Whilst waiting for the closing..



IIUM clans..


All the participants..

The organising committees (with many others cannot join but completed the jobs beforehand).


Ending my day with iced coffee. 


Thank you to everyone involved. 









Duolingo

Sunday, October 29, 2023


Assalamuaikum herkes (everyone). 


Some background story - I installed the apps and chose Turkish as a language to learn seven years ago. 


But, I was never consistent - the app is right there but i did not touch it often haha, no exact reason, just lazy i guess.


During the pandemic, i prepared a notebook and pursued this for a while but it stopped when the hustle bustle of life kicked in again. 


Until i got this email..





And the feeling seeped in, I feel like practising and learning again.


At this date, I reached a 100 day streak without fail and that is an achievement for me because being consistent is not my forte and i am glad that i reached a 100th day and yes of course i learnt many new vocabs and grammar too. 




Since May, I have bought two exercise books on the language and printed out some materials to write and practise. 


I also tuned in to YouTube and watched Turkish series  just to listen to their talkings and all. 


I learnt the numbers, the grammars and vocabs. It is a fun journey to be in and i am enjoying it, just for fun and knowledge because I have always envy people who can master another language, I feel like learning one too. 




What kind of practise is this? Are you mocking me? :p


Yup. That's it, the story of the day :)
