Presentation Skill

Assalamualaikum and very good morning especially to our lecturer, Madam Mastura binti Misdan and to all my friends. Before I start my speech, I would like to share a video with you. Get ready and enjoy it..

That is the video of hysteria. Hysteria is one of the supernatural phenomenons. Have you ever experienced supernatural situation? If your answer is yes, you are just the person at the wrong place, at the wrong time...

Ladies & gentleman...

There are a living people and there are a dead people and it should be easy to tell the difference between the two. According to Stephen Hawking, a British Physicist, "nothing would be supernatual; it's just some things that we don't understand well enough. For me, I have made a research about supernatural based on true story and i've found that the existence of ghost or supernatural things cannot be denied. There are many mysterious things behind supernatural that interesting to tell about. So today, i would like to inform you about the history of supernatural, the type of ghost, and the effect of supernatural to the human life.

I have spoken a roughly about supernatural, now I will share more knowledge about supernatural with you. Let me start with the existence of ghost.

There are many reason why ghost ca live together with human and at the same time disturbing human life. Generally ghost is the spirit of dead person, it is consciousness without the body form. With other words, ghost had been a person's consciousness along with the person's memory and experience. One of the reason is their soul are not accepted by both the land and sky. That is why in the film, the ghost usually appeared with no legs or flying. According to the 'spell & spirts, demon & ghost' magazine, the reason ghost can live and haunted human life is...

• They are worshipped by someone such as shaman - anything in this world, if we keep on calling and worshipping, finally it will come to you as you wish. You can try it and my suggestion is play the Ouija Board with the coin. You know how to play it? yes, "spirit spirit of the coin, please come to me! If you want to lay, let me join you.
• According to legend, all animals and plants after acquiring the energies of the heaven and earth, it will become spiritual beings. They can either be in the form of demon, spirits or monsters. This is how the banana trees created where the trees transform into a beautiful woman and looking for a man who always alone.
• The sorcerer cast the spell on himself to intensify his own witchcraft power. The sorcerer will cast the spell on himself by chanting to allow his head to be detached from the body. Then the head of the sorcerer will fly out of the body to suck human blood. After the completion of several stages, it is said that the sorcerer will be able to live very long.

Let us move to type of ghost...

There are many kinds of believe in this world about the type of ghost. One of the popular types of ghost in our country are the malay ghost. There are also english ghost, chinese ghost and even indian ghost depending o your religion , race and beliefs. For example vampire is an english ghost whereas malays known them as pontianak and chinese as 'kiong xi' some of malay ghost are...

• Pontianak - also known as vampire and they are usually ladies dressed in white, seeking for revenge. Pontianak is said to be a woman died in chilbirth. Most of the time, they can look very beautiful but if you look closely, she would have a razor sharp teeth.
• Hantu Bungkus (pocong) - is a ghost that always jump, jump, and jump around and it is wrapped in a white shroud. It is said that when the funeral, people forgot to untie the corpse head part of the shroud before buried the corpse. So, hantu bungkus is looking for some one that can help it untie the shroud. The point is, will you do it?
• Polong - is an unseen ghost that can be used by black magic practitioners or shaman to harm someone. This type of ghost are very stubborn and difficult to expel when it entering human body. The cases of hysteria are usually caused by this type of ghost. The video of hysteria that we have seen at the beginning is just one of it.

Other ghost is toyol, pelesit, hantu raya, hantu kubur, hantu jepun and so on. Enough about type of ghost, we move to the effect of supernatural to human life.

The existence of supernatural in human life has affected human ways of living. It is in everyone's heart those ghost are fearful especially at night, so the taboos was formulated in order to keep the ghost away. There are so many types of taboo and one of them is the taboo at night where it is said that ghost are usually appeared at night.

• Taboo while staying at hotel - Do not open all drawers immediately after entering the room like many people do to check what are inside. By doing so, the ghost can easily be forced out, as the ghost are also afraid of human, a bit of space must be retained for them in case there is one in the room.
• Taboo with word - there are a certain speech cannot be made in the middle of night. Meaning that, at midnight , such words should not be mentioned at all such as "I'm not afraid of ghost". This sentence is just like you are challenging the ghost to come out and show itself. Usually ghost like to disturb the people who are too brave and too coward. How about you?

As we have seen, there are so many story of supernatural. It is interesting to know about this entities that full of mysteries. I hope what I've talked today has given you the information about the history of supernatural, the type of ghost and the effect of supernatural ti human life.

So, do you believe in ghost? How do you know what is real and what is not?
Maybe the person sitting next to you is a ghost, maybe all your friend are a ghost, your cat, your fish, and maybe you are a ghost and you don't even know it.
I don't know if one day I will ever see a ghost or facing a supernatural situation, but at least i know that they can't do harm to people. Ghost is also a God creature. Only God that deserve to be afraid of.
Thank you~

Happy @ Sad

Hari Raya is the day that everyone waiting for and usually will be celebrated happily. On the morning of first raya, people will dressed in beauty clothes, man will go to mosque for sembahyang raya, and then go to cemetery, and then back to home and eat ketupat, rendang, lemang, sambal kacang and so on...
wahhh best kan...

but we must remember, there are people who didn't have a chance to celebrate hari raya. after a month puasa, of course you want to celebrate your winning against puasa. you defeated your nafsu to eat, and all the nafsu jahat. and the first raya can be said to be an important day to many people. am i right?

i have a friend, who suffer a dengue fever a few days before first raya, and she spent her hari raya all the time on bed in a hospital. on first raya, she did call me and tell her condition. at first, i want to laugh at her and want to say padan muka to her, but i understand her feeling. so poor...

the next day which is second raya, i came visit her. sorry, her name is Farah. she was so happy when i came. that's all i can do and Farah really thanks to me because she was so lonely staying at hospital. only her sister that always visited her. so, i talk to her, i give her ayat2 manis, to make her smile again and make her understand why she has to accepted this as a fate. mesti ada hikmahnye.. it is good to look you smile again farah.

farah is a good girl, when i came, she was doing her asignment. wahh that was really surprise me! well done farah. you are not wasting your time. hahahhaahha.... that is the hikmah. if Farah didn't get the dengue, the assignment will not finish. Thanks to dengue. ~

Farah came out from hospital on fifth raya. that was ok la... she still got time to celebrate hari raya. whatever it is, health is wealth. if you have a lot of money but you only spending your whole life on bed, it is not worth it...
Thanks God.

Wedding of The Year

What:Wedding Ceremony
Who: Mahanum & Idham
Where: No.13 Jalan Bunga Raya, Kampong Melayu, 86000 Kluang Johor.
When: 26 october 2009
How: erk?

Congratulations to Anum for her marriage. I hope she will live happily ever after with her husband, Idham. She is number 5 in my siblings, and me is number 6. You know what I’m thinking? It’s my turn after this… wahhhhh…..

At first, Mama planned to do the wedding of anum together with me, but as anum are ready while I’m still studying, so let anum go first…

2 days before the wedding, I’m started to get busy. Many things to do to let the wedding ceremony run smoothly. The day has come and I, as the ‘orang kuat’ start to do works. I have to make sure everything is there. I thought I just wear a shirt to do works and when guests are coming about at 11pm, I will change to wear casual to look smart. But, I don’t have a chance to do that. Until the wedding finish, I’m still with the shirt.

Thanks to everyone that help me during the wedding, all my cousin, ham, azim, lili, sarah, effa, syamil, caca, cucut, pak usu, pak ngah… and everybody.

I’m 22 now, and still single. Sometimes I feel lonely, and want to have someone beside me. I mean someone special that can be my life partner and of course she is a woman.

Wonder know who is she… I Love You!

Graduation Day

Istiadat Konvokesyen yang ke-70 UiTM kembali lagi...
I have a story about Convocation to share with you..

What is the meaning of Graduation Day to you? A good day? The day that you've waited for a very long time? hmm... of course it is the great day for every student where you have successfully completed your studies course. Yup, it is supposed to be a happy day. But for me, I think that I don't have any feeling towards my graduation day.

Maybe because it is just my diploma, not degree level. So I'm not too excited to celebrate it.. maybe, maybe, maybe it is one of the reason but the truth is... My parents didn't appeared on my graduation day! uhh....uhh....uh....~

When I get out of the hall, I can see many parents waiting for their son & daughter. Some of them holding a bunch of flowers, a teddy bear, and a lot of gifts. At this time, others student will looking for their parents, but me... what am I going to do, and where should I go....

I remember the day before graduation day, abah & mama did call me to ask about the graduation day...

abah: "abah ade keje, mama pulak tak sihat".
amy: "takpe la abah, ade jugak kawan2 amy yg mak bapak die x datang.."
mama: "mi, mama nak pegi naik bas, nanti suruh akak mayam amek bile da sampai kl nanti".
amy: " mama, amy ok je, ala ni diploma je pun, nanti mase degree kan ade lg... tak payah datang pun xpe... wat susah2 je..."
mama: "betul ke xpe mi?"
amy: "betul maa.. x de ape2 pun...

Did I said the right things? Abah really have works to do and it is important while mama still not feeling well after her hand fracture. I feel very touched when mama said that she wants to come. I love you mama!

I feel lonely and a little bit sad when look at other students with their parents. One of them ask me to help them to take a picture. waa..... I want to cry....... If you are at my place, what will you do? Do you feel pity to me? Poor me right... but suddenly my phone is ringing. it is my sister, kak mayam!

kak mayam: "amy kat mane?"
amy: " kat Uitm la, kan amy konvo hari ni."
kak mayam "yela, kat area mane? akak ade dengan ayin ni, kat tempat orang jual2 bunga, amy datang sini lah"
amy: "hah? yeke? ha okey, tunggu2 sekejap kat situ, jangan pergi mane2!"


With my eyes almost split the tears, I ran to my sister and brother, kak mayam and ayin...
wait for me.........!
:)

Superman

When you were a kids, you must have a favorite superhero.
am i right? who is your favorite superhero? batman, spider man, ultra man, tomato man? whatever it is, did you know who is the father of all superhero in the world? and the answer is...

It's a bird, It's a plane, It's a Superman...!

actually that was my attention grabber for my presentation.

Everything run smoothly as I planned, the gimmick also make everybody laugh and laugh.
i tried to act like superman and Clark Kent, and its really suits me. hehehe...
i feel nervous at the first time but when people smile and laugh to my joke, i get the spirit and performed very well. i really enjoyed my presentation...

After the presentation, my lecturer told that I'm one of the best speaker that day. i feel very happy even though i didn't show it to my friends. actually i feel like want to jump from the 4th floor of my faculty building. hahaha and i believe i can fly... i believe i can touch the sky...

To become a best presenter, you need to put an effort to your preparation. like me, i only sleep 2 hours the night before the presentation. because it is last minute preparation. but still i can make it. its a worthy sacrifices. what you give, you get back.

It is not easy, to be, me...

*the picture of me, I took before i found the picture of Dean Cain. it's look very similar. ;)

Ketupat Challenge

During ramadhan, my mom was preparing to celebrate hari raya. A lot of work to do and one of them was 'anyam ketupat'. i don't know where is this intention come from but suddenly I'm offering myself to help 'anyam ketupat'. it is a good idea and a good news to my mom, but, actually you know what, i don't know how to do it.~~~

so, i learn from my mom's chef assistants. she is an Indonesian woman, named kak siti. at first, i look at her anyaman. then i follow step by step. slowly... until done! she'd done and I'm also done. every single step was the same, my step and her step. but i don't know why, the result was not same. and of course, kak siti's anyaman become ketupat but mine, become keputat~

after many times i ask kak siti to teach me, i can see on her face, she is fed up with me. hahahaha... even though i am a fast learner, but in case of anyam ketupat, i'm such a loser...
but i'm not given up yet. you know what i do? i took a video of kak siti while she anyam the ketupat, and then go to my room and practice. remember, perfect practice makes perfect!

practice and practice and practice.....
and practice and practice and practice again... suddenly my mom get inside my room and she surprised (or shocked) to see my intention to learn anyam ketupat was so high. then she gave me a lesson. i hope my mom can teach better than kak siti.... after a several minutes..
i did it! she show me the simple way and i almost make a perfect ketupat. just need some practice more! thanks mama! i am your son!

momma said "amy, after this i want you to help me anyam ketupat for my catering".
and i said "aaaarrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhh! don't want, don't want, don't want!"

it is a lot of ketupat!

*both my elder sister's also don't know how to anyam ketupat!
~credit to myself!
