Farizal atau Rizal datang dari keluarga yang serba kekurangan. Kedua orang tuanya telah pergi mengadap Ilahi pada Ogos yang lepas. Mereka meninggalkan dia bersama adiknya. Rizal kini tidak lagi bersekolah semenjak pemergian kedua ibu dan bapanya kerana tidak mampu memebayar yuran sekolah. Rizal dan adiknya kini menetap di Sanggar Yayasan Anak Jalanan Burungan (if I could hear him mentioned properly). Mungkin kita tidak mengenali siapa Farizal ini. Mungkin kita fikir Farizal hanyalah seorang peserta seperti mereka yang lain. Namun, semangat waja yang di bawa oleh tubuh kecil ini mampu memberi kesan yang sangat mendalam. I have never seen such an inspirational video before.
Selama saya mengikuti video di You Tube, saya rasakan inilah video yang sangat memberi inspirasi pada kita semua. Inspiration to be strong regardless of what come in between. God gives us test to make us a stronger person.
Juri menanyakan Rizal, apakah motivasi utama yang membuatkan beliau menurut serta di dalam Indonesia Idol Jr ini. Rizal menjawab, jika diberikan rezeki dalam rancangan ini, duit yang dimenanginya akan digunakan bagi memperbaiki kubur kedua orang tuanya di kampung. Betapa sucinya niat seorang kanak-kanak kecil ini. Apa niat kita kalau kita menang duit sebanyak ini?
Juri juga sempat menanyakan Rizal apakah karacter kedua orang tua Rizal. Dia menjawab, baik orangnya. Juri juga menanyakan Rizal, apakah yang telah diajari orang kdua ibu dan bapanya sehingga dia mampu menjadi sebegini kuat pada usia yang muda? Jawabnya:
Tidak berbuat jahat pada orang
Sentiasa berbakti pada orang tua
Menjaga adik dengan baik
Tahu membezakan mana baik dan buruk
Melindungi adiknya dari sebarang bahaya
Sentiasa berani
Allah membalas apa yang baik dan apa yang jahat
Jangan melawan orang
Tonton vidoe ini dan nilai diri anda, apakah bakti yang telah dicurahkan oleh anda terhadap kedua orang tua anda termasuk diri saya sendiri.

So my first backpack 'testing' trip will be in December. Although we save the hassle in searching for accommodation, we are trying to pack light for the entire 6 days.
A comfortable set of clothing is very important to keep you protected from the weather which maybe different from Malaysia. A good pair of boot can keep your feet on the go without the pain and aches. Invest a little bit more in this sense because it can save you the hassle. These are my current favorite travel essentials.

I guess I had the best Aidiladha by far. We don't normally celebrate in the previous years but I think it was different this time. Given that all of us are married, one with a kid and one more is mummy-to-be. Nothing happier than having good friends coming over and enjoying each other's company.
Alla wanted to have 'Chang' this time. She has been telling me this for quite some time. My mum bought the ingredients before we were home for raya and prepared them beforehand. She also cooked rendang, dalca and nasi minyak this time for the guest.
My friends even had the opportunity to learn the 'art' of making 'Chang'. Hahaha. Even my wedding planner was there as well. Funny. She was in charge of my wedding arrangement, and now she's there as a guest.
Balance from making the 'Chang', my mum used them to make 'Loh Mai Kai', which is one of my favorite delicacy. Learned to eat this from my aunty. The ingredients are similar to 'Chang'. But because my mum didn't want it to go to waste, so she filled the remaining in a small tin bowl and steamed them. They were ready to be eaten the next day. We had them for breakfast.
We went for a trip to Padang Besar. I can't remember when was my last trip. Things have changed a lot since then. Padang Besar is a must visit place when visiting Perlis. It's a place where you can find all sort of products mainly coming from Thailand. Cheap bed sheets, carpets, fake designer handbags, travel bags, kitchenware and many more. Just name it.
The journey tookabout 30 minutes from the city of Kangar. I suggest that you drive there because public transport in Perlis is not as efficient as in the big cities. We do not have Rapid KL or Rapid Penang and we still use old buses like previously used in Penang (Hin Company).
The night after my friends came over, we drove to Alla's open house in Alor Star. We had the opportunity to tour around her mum's new place. It was spacious with big porch where 2 cars can fit in. It has a high ceiling which means there's room for air circulation.
Can you spot me?
Alla received her wedding album and looking through again makes me feel how both of us has changed. We went through a lot together but we were there for each other. After 17 years, we're still best friends and now that we have our own family and married to the man we love.
Friends like this doesn't come that often, so you bump into one, make sure you take good care of them.
Dianah was back in town for 2 weeks for her semester break when it was time for her to get her ass back to campus last Saturday. The whole family came down to Penang and stayed at my place. My dad brought her around to buy her necessities 2 days before her departure. Before that, she was on her backpacking trip, travelling around India for 2 weeks before flying back to Perlis.
On Sunday, the parents spent another night before driving back to Perlis the following day. We spent that Saturday in Paragon after sending Dianah off at the airport. My mum wanted to get something from Cold Storage and Sam's Groceria and my dad wanted to have his Nasi Lemak Liverpool on Sunday.
While at the airport, I thought that it has been a long time since we had a proper family portrait. It's either me or Dianah gone missing. So since everyone is around, it would be nice to have one proper family photo before Dianah flew back to Mangalore. Turns out that I was the shortest in the family, even a few inch shorter than my mum *facepalm*. Need not to mention if I were to stand beside Juan.
I'm wearing light green blouse from Poplook, necklace from F21, sandals from Payless Shoes, Marie Claire throw-all-in bag.
Juan got his first passport ever as we're spending our Xmas in Singapore this year. We spent half a day Sunday at the immigration just to renew my passport and get Juan his new passport. I'm so excited. I'm planning on our itinerary. Hoping to bring Juan to interesting places in Singapore since this is his first oversea trip.
A fascinating fusion of the East and West, Penang embraces modernity while retaining its traditions and old world charm from the Bristish era.
These are reflected in its harmonious multiracial populace and well-preserved heritage buildings which led to George Town being accorded a listing as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. You could see the influence of the English carved on buildings.
Long regarded as the food capital of Malaysia, Penang also entices visitors with its beautiful coasts and scrumptious cuisines.
The easy going lifestyle on Penang is a result of the melting pot of cultures, religions and food. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town in particular, is a total fusion of Chinese, Malay, Indian and other races, evidence of which is apparent everywhere, from cuisine to architecture.
With the basis of this, me and Juan decided to learn more about Penang. I have been living in Penang for the past 10 years and yet there are so much things that I do not know. We visited the old Penang over last weekend and find it interesting. Things that we couldn't find anywhere else. The food, the people, the architecture.
The weather was just nice, not too hot nor it was raining. Just perfect. We walked every inch of the alley and watching tourist in awe of what Penang has to offer. It was also a good workout for both of us.
