{ 16 THINGS ABOUT ME Rev. 2}

Aku telah di TAG kan oleh junior aku kt MRSM Terendak, Sherrina... lovely lady yg aku paling suka menjenguk blog dia yg sangat happening :) Maka dengan penuh rasa rela... aku pun menyahutlah TAG dia nie... tapi nie after revised la pulak sbb smlm mcm kelam kabut nak penuhi all 16 things..so this time..more transparent... more into me..in person..wakaka...

16 THINGS ABOUT ME

1. I have a strange hobby that I believe people never know - I like talking to myself, berkata-kata di dalam hati.. and kadang-kadang tu bila dah so into it, aku mcm cakap pada diri sendiri...selalunya yang kantoi aku, my daughter si Kak Long la... mama dia nie dah biol kot..hahaha...but I think it is quite therapeautic, especially when you cannot share those things with others...so, share with myself.

2. Aku tatau kenapa, but I love UK...obsess jugalah tapi aku buat-buat cool je especially depan laki aku, sebab nanti sure dia sindir and perli tak ingatnya, maka hati ini jugalah yg terhiris, terguris dan sadisss... tak percaya? Sejak kecil-kecil aku tgk sepupu gi study oversea (sorang US, sorang UK) tapi aku sematkan dalam hati aku nak gi UK (tatau kenapa aku tak suka US, maybe sebab aku suka tgk ambient UK yg more classic tak modern mcm US)... pas sekolah, aku gile tgk Cinta Antara Benua (time tu tunggu result SPM)..berangan-angan gi study kt UK... and bagai mimpi jadi nyata.. MARA offer aku gi UK directly (pdhl aku x apply pun..aku apply KMB for A-Level...) Yippie.. mission accomplished... and NOW... I am looking forward to go back to UK..for whatever good reason la... particularly..Manchester.. rindunyaaaa...

3. Aku suka warna biru...bagi aku, warna biru sangat mendamaikan..menyejukkan dan sedap dipandang... laki aku pun selalu kata, aku sesuai menggayakan warna biru.. eventually, mak aku pun rajin hadiahkan aku baju kurung dan tudung biru...

4. In term of kerja, aku suka be independent. Aku tak suka ada kebergantungan pada manager... (korang rasa dia baca blog aku tak?)... aku tak suka setiap langkah, kena report pada manager.. setiap keputusan mesti dibuat oleh manager... aku as an executive level pun mesti ada power to make up decision and that is a good practice tau..risk taker tu...and one more thing.. aku benci meeting! Yes.. meeting tu penting juga, tapi bila meeting benda kecil jadi berjela-jela berjam-jam sebab melalut ke topik lain, I will be absolutely pissed off.. this is when I hope somebody will call me so that I can get out from the meeting etc etc etc...

5. Setiap tahun, bila datang tahun baru..azam yg mesti ada adalah nak KURUS. yer.. aku nak KURUS... mcm la tak pernah berjaya...tapi normally tak kekal lama..maka aku berazam tahun nie dan seterusnya..aku mmg nak kurus... ayat notty 'biar laki aku pandang aku je...dan tak pandang org lain...tapi org lain pun pandang aku je..tak pandang org lain jugak...' wakakakaka...

6. Aku suka memasak... suka makan juga... tak percaya? Nie Norafesa yg bangun pukul 5pagi utk masakkan bekalan laki dia gi kerja... terus masak sekali utk dinner dia dan anak2 pada hari aku OT sampai 830 malam... aku ada banyak koleksi resipi... aku pernah pergi kursus memasak makanan foodcourt dgn Chef Li.. and looking fwd nak belajar buat cupcake plaks...

7. Aku nie sahabat yang setia... chewwahhh... tak percaya? Aku masih keep in touch dgn kawan lama yg aku kenal dia sebelum aku kenal ABC. Nama dia Rafidah Jais.. and kawan baik aku datangnya dari MRSM Terendak yg aku kenal since dari menengah rendah iaitu Ayie & Ismayati...

8. Yerr... 8..!!! Ini memang nombor kegemaran aku..aku suka sangat nombor 8..org Cina kata nombor 8 nie bawa tuah..tapi.. tatau kenapa.. banyak benda dlm hidup aku dipengaruhi dengan nombor 7. For example, masa PMR aku dapat 7A. Masa SPM aku dapat aggregate 7. Kasut aku saiz 7. Laki aku lahir bulan 7. nombor rumah aku 127, ..apa lagi? nak list nanti panjang la plaks...

9. Aku sangatlah suka pada kerja aku sekarang.. I LOVE MY JOB AS A SYSTEM ANALYST AT FLEXTRONICS! Thanks la kepada ex-Manager aku yg memberi kepercayaan penuh kepada aku untuk memegang jawatan ini... he he he... kerjanya, adalah something yang aku imagine since dari aku kat university dulu..memenuhi scope dan expectation aku..bukan senang nak dapat woo..sebab org selalu kata bila dah graduate..selalunya kita tak apply apa yg kita pelajari... seronok sebenarnya kerja ngn org2 Flextronics nie... yang tak bestnya.. GAJI! benda nie memang aku sangatlah tak puas hati tahap tak ingatnyer... haihhh... what should I do? And lately, there was a 'major turn down' things that almost makes me want to give out a 24-hours notice... nak tau apa..?? Tak payahla... aku rasa a few people know...

10. Another strange interest yg aku rasa takde saper tau... I love NUMBERS... no, bukan cerita Numb3rs yg kt AXN tu... tapi nombor... aku mudah ingat nombor dari ingat ayat2.. (that's why I hate subjek Sejarah,psl byk menghafal)... and for the past few years I have a strange hobby... TRYING TO DERIVE AS MAXIMUM NUMBERS AS POSSIBLE WHEN LOOKING AT CAR'S PLATE NUMBERS... gila ke? seriously... katakanla plat kereta tu 6876... aku akan cuba guna all the basic tools like + - x / kuasa dua, punca kuasa dua dan sewaktu dgnnya untuk cuba dapatkan nombor dari 1 sampai..yg semaksimumnya atau sampai aku jemu... e.g. dari 6876 tadi.. 6/6 = 1, 8-6 = 2, (8-6)+(7-6) = 3, etc etc...

12. Bila aku tengah stress, aku cuba mengasingkan diri.. agar orang tak ganggu aku dan aku tak buat apa-apa tindakan bodoh yg bakal menampakkan kebodohan aku dalam mengawal emosi... bila aku tak suka seseorang, aku cuba lari jauh dari dia... tapi bila aku suka seseorang..aku lagi suka pandang dia dari jauh dari bodoh-bodohkan diri nak tonjolkan diri kt depan dia mcm org bodoh!!!

13. Aku terlalu ingin nak business... dah ada benda nak dibusinesskan... my 1st step already completed.. cuma kesibukan (atau aku yg tak tau menguruskan masa?) masih menjadi penghalang aku utk execute next step...takper, once it done.. aku akan announce satu dunia...

14. Norafesa nie sangat obsess kepada - CSI Miami, Formula 1 & Kimi Raikkonen.

15. Salah satu kejayaan paling besar dalam kehidupan aku as a Norafesa is - berjaya menyusukan anak aku dengan susu badan sampai ke hari ini. Walaupun dah tak exclusive (sebab masa dia kat taska, aku bagi susu formula) tapi clearly breastmilk is still his favourite ...

16. Aku seorang yang unik. Sama seperti setiap manusia dalam planet bumi nie. Maka... you have an option: LOVES ME OR HATES ME... the power in your hand... ngeh ngeh ngeh...

fuuuhhh... tu dia... finally.. abis jugak... and aku kena tag 16 org plak.. adeih.. tak terdaya aku beb.. maka aku just nak tagkan org2 nie je:

{ WHY I WAS CRYING -- NOVEMTHREE }

It was an emotional night... (early morning actually) when i was watching channel 551. It was already halfway through the documentary but what I saw really catched my emotion and made me drowned in tears...

It is a story about Novemthree Siahaan, a 5-year old boy who badly suffered with huge tumours on his face. His courage, braveness and smart attitude captured my heart together with his loving and caring father who always by his side.

Until now, I can't forget his face... and the moment I burst in tears was when I realised that he was actually passed away (from the text just before the end of that ducomentary) while I really thought he is safe and sound...

Rest in peace, dear child...

(his story is in Wikipedia...)

Novemthree Siahaan (November 3, 1998 – September 15, 2005[1]) was a young Indonesian boy who had the rare condition gigantiform cementoma. The story of his life garnered much media attention when he was taken to Taiwan for treatment. His surgeries were filmed for international broadcast on the Discovery television network.

Born with a normal face in Batam Island, Indonesia, Novemthree was raised in a poor village. His mother sent him to live with his grandparents at a young age, before the cementoma had started to grow. When they returned to Novemthree roughly eight months later, the cementoma had already grown to alarming size; so much that Novemthree's parents questioned if it were actually their son. Extremely concerned, Novemthree's parent's brought him to the local doctor (the only one they could afford) and he informed Novemthree's father that it was most likely black magic that was supposed to affect him, but instead attacked Novemthree. Time passed, and the cementoma had grown to cover nearly his entire face. Novemthree could no longer see out of his right eye, lost his ability to walk, had respiratory problems due to his airway being blocked, and had to lift his head up to drink. Before surgery, the cementoma weighed in approximately at two pounds.

Novemthree needed immediate medical attention. The surgeons at Tz'u Chi Buddhist General Hospital in Hualien, Taiwan placed a tube in Novemthree's trachea to allow him to breathe while removing his tumours. The surgeons would have to cut the tumour in three different surgeries and re-sculpt his face because the tumors had destroyed much of his facial structure. The first surgery was performed on Novemthree's left cheek, giving him sight in his left eye. The second surgery performed was to excise the tumour on his right cheek. In spite of doubts from the surgical team, he regained sight in his right eye as well. The final surgery would remove the remaining tumour from Novemthree's mouth, and reconstruct his face to approximate normality.

Novemthree had to endure physical therapy to regain his ability to walk, and speech therapy to teach him how to speak again. Though it was expected that he would need future surgeries, Novemthree was soon allowed back home. The hope was that the boy would be able to recuperate as well as mature, so that more bone would grow for the doctors to continue to reshape Novemthree's face.

One year later the tumour, which had been shaped to form the lost skull bones, began to grow back. He was taken back to the hospital for further surgery as the tumors had grown faster than the doctors expected and his breathing was becoming restricted. A second procedure was needed. However, doctors hesitated to perform the operation due to concerns about the necessity of a permanent tracheotomy (which would be difficult to keep clean due to poor sanitary conditions in his home village) as well as the unexpected rapidity of the tumour's regrowth. Novemthree was sent back home mere hours before the original time for the operation[1]. On September 15, 2005, Novemthree died in his sleep, due to a respiratory infection in his chest. The Tzu Chi foundation gave him a proper burial.

Novemthree's story was shared on the Discovery Health Channel in 2005. Viewers were drawn to Novemthree's story because of the severity of the deformity as well as the boy's sweet character. His father Siahaan describes his son as "a kind, wise and clever kid. Whenever he was feeling ill he never once complained to us, he simply took all his suffering on his own.[1]". It was only at the end of the program in a footnote, did viewers learn of Novemthree's passing. A second TV show about Novemthree and his medical condition has been produced and aired, in which his death is also depicted
