My Pet-Kabutomushi's Pupa

Hey look!!!My pet-kabutomushi's larvas had changed into pupas.Yattane!!!This one is a "male",because it has "horn",while the other one without "horn" is a "female".
Memang geli sangat tengok sanagi@pupa ni in real life...sebab every time we touch & shake the bottle,then it will move intensely....part "horn" dia tu la yang geli sangat..."kepalanya bergerak-gerak"(hehehe..bebudak STF sure kenai sapa ni..;))
The last stage of pupa...turn into brownish black in colour..tak sabar nak tengok my own kabutomushi('-')/

The Unforgettable

These are my friends,my old "kamcheng" neighbours in M'sia..the 3 siblings-Aizat,Fadwan & Hannah.Know what?I really missed you guys!!!!Thanks for being there when I really needed friends to hang out with and to play around...
We had joy, we had fun,
We had seasons in the sun.
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach
- Terry Jacks, "Seasons in the Sun"
The other thing is that when one meets old friends who have been away for a long time, it becomes a pretext for discussing the countless ways in which Things Have Changed.And it's absolutely right!I just can't wait to chat and recall my memories on you.....
Unforgettable old friends....

"New Friends & Old Friends"
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
Friendships that have stood the test -
Time and change - are surely best;
Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray,
Friendship never knows decay.
For 'mid old friends, tried and true,
Once more we our youth renew.
But old friends, alas! may die,
New friends must their place supply.
Cherish friendship in your breast-
New is good, but old is best;
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.

Soccer Kid's Having Breakfast

Salam & a very good morning to all('-')/
It's me in my "Perlis team look-a-like" soccer uniform(that's what the Japanese call for the soccer's jersey) and Ma took these pics this morning before I went for Kodaira Rainbows soccer training.
One of my favourites-chicken hotdog:))...remembering me of 1901..huhuhu
Huh!Guess what I was trying to tell you???
Clearer shot....yes!!!!I'm six-years-old....that's all!hehehe...

My First Plants-Part II

Look what we have in Ma's mini garden...the most widely grown commercial tomatoes!!
Anyway,do you know that "tomato" also has been used as a slang word for an attractive woman. This use was most common from the 1920s through the 1940s and only within the USA.
A purple eggplant..jom belajar pasal eggplant's history
The name eggplant in the USA,Australia and Canada developed from the fact that the fruits of some 18th-century European cultivars were yellow or white and resembled goose or hen's eggs. Aubergine is the British name given to this fruit, from the French aubergine, derived from Catalan albergínia; from Arabic al-bãdhinjãn الباذنجان,Persian بادنجان bâdinjân, from Sanskrit vatinganah. In South Africa the fruit is known as a Brinjal. In India it is called Baingan, which is also the Hindi name. Baingan is also used in Urdu.
The spinaches,most of them stucked in Ma's tiny little pot...oppss...lupa la nak bagi kat Aunt. Nad..nanti aaaaaa
My morning glory!dah besar and in the process of looking for "a shoulder to cry on"..hehehe
Ma's chillies..boleh tahan pedasnya!Since "the eldest" was changing its colour from green to brownish,so today Pa picked it up and put into his special menu;)

Look Who's Sleeping

It's 03:30...Mama dok buat report lagi...yare!yare!
Izz-kun suddenly woke up & asked,"Ma,mada??(Ma,belom lagi ke?)"
"Mada..mada..gomenne(Sorry dear,not yet)"..coz Ma promised Izz to sleep beside him after finished doing tonight's assignment:(

You Won't See This On CNN

Ma received a piece of e-mail from Aunt. Illeque today.
Sungguh sebak..no words can describe how worst the things going on the other side of the world.
Sama-samalah kita panjangkan doa untuk saudara-saudara kita di sana...AMIN..
A child trying to save his Mom?
What probably she was saying to him just before she died?
What feelings this child could have to the world of liberty from now on?
Close your eyes for a moment,make dua with heart,sure there will be somebody whose dua will be helpful....insyaAllah!

Atsuiiiii

"Ma,hairan la..doushite saikin atsui no?(why it's been very hot these few days huh?)"
"Dulu tu kenapa sejuk?And where had all the snow gone to?"
"Hmmm....because Japan is not like Malaysia my dear.There're 4 seasons,haru(spring),natsu(summer),aki(autumn)and fuyu(winter)"
"Demo Ma...boku wa fuyu no hou ga suki(But Ma,I think I like winter)...."
"Natsu wa mecha atsuindayone...Malaysia mitai...(Summer is hot,same like Malaysia)"
I don't take picture these days...so,tadaaaaaaaa....this was during my first experience to play snow and ski last year.
Once in my life,I dreamt of sleeping in the snow and I really did it!

p/s:Have you heard about Malaysia free online radio streaming? My family use to hear ERA FM,Sinar FM,Hitz FM & etc from that blog.Haiii...terubat jugak rindu nak dengar radio Malaysia....

Firefly

Yo!!!
Have you ever seen or touched any firefly before?
I had..ya,may be yesterday was the first time for me to see fireflies...hehehe..don't be that surprise to hear a Malaysian born first time ever to experience a firefly evening in Kodaira City Central Park,Japan.
I went there together with Ma,Pa,Souma's family & Mei's family.
The event started at 7:30pm and we went there by walk at about 6:00pm.
Well,it was precisely one of my precious experience for I could enter the fireflies' tunnel and saw those little bugs blinking their lights to locate other individuals of the same species for reproduction.
On the way to the park.Mei and Jun were wearing yukata-a Japanese summer garment and casual form of kimono.Mei was in pink,while Jun in blue.
Reached there at 6:30pm and there were many stalls selling snacks,drinks,Japanese traditional food,yakitori(like M'sia's chicken satay) and etc.
Jun & Suzuka
Tsukimi-chan,Souma's little sister...makan banyak-banyak bagi comey;)..you go girl!!
Pa and the girls
Me..and the girls(?)
Mei,Suzu & I...while queuing for approximately 1 hour in order to see those fireflies and go through the firefly tunnel.
Singing & dancing...havoc sungguhhhhh
Ma,mada nagainokana??Boku wa mou tsukareta yo....
On our way back...sorry to say that we were not allowed to put up any lights when seeing the fireflies..zannendeshitane!
Playing sword with Souma..sempat lagi tu..
Pa,carrying Suzu on his back...she seemed really tired after enjoyed herself at the park,and so did I....
I asked Ma if I could still see firefly in future?
You know what she said to me?
.."laaa..takat kelip-kelip tu kalau nak tengok jom balik M'sia laaa..tak payah susah-susah dok kena beratoq sampai sejam tunggu turn...."
hahahahhaa.....well..well..well..naruhodone:))
But unfortunately I could see her curious face when inside the tunnel;)

A Friend In Need

These are some of my friends,cum my dear cousins,since I couldn't recall any of my former kindergarten friends in Malaysia:(..anyway,I missed them so much and keep telling everyone in my class that I'll be going back to see my friends this coming summer holidays.
Last year's pic...how small I was;)
My cousins
Abang Syakir Haziq & I(picture taken last year during Ma's absence)
I loved my pets,but they flew away and left me..huhuhuhu

My friend is nice.

We like to play
We play together every day.
We laugh and cry
And laugh again
Because, you see, we're
Friends
Friends
Friends!

Yesterday,"10 of my school friends" came over to my house and we played together until 6pm.I was really having a great time and they taught me many new Japanese words.That's why I like them very much!!
Ma also has best friends.But they are far away and its really sad that it had to be that way.
And it was also yesterday that Ma received a special song dedication from one of her best friends,Auntie Illeque(yo,thanks dude!).Here goes "Ku Mohon" by Sheila Majid.

KU MOHON

Setiap hari kumohon
Agar Kau sentiasa
Memberiku ketenangan dalam hati... kekuatan
Menempuh segala dugaan yang mencabar ini
Pasti punya ertinya
Engkau beriku harapan
Menjawab segala persoalan
Hadapi semua dengan tenang

Dengan merasa kesyukuran
Ku doa Kau selalu
Mengawasai gerak-geriku
Berkatilah ku penuh rahmat dari Mu

(korus)
Oh Tuhan terangkan hati dalam sanubariku
Oh Tuhan ku berserah segalanya kepadamu
Agar jiwaku tenang dengan bimbingan Mu selalu

Ada kalanya ku merasa hidup ini seperti kaca
Jikalau tidak bersabar
Hancur berderailah akhirnya
Tabahkanlah hatiku
Melalui semua itu... Ooh...
Kuatkanlah
Cekalkanlah diriku

Curahkanlah nikmat Mu pada hidupku

To Ma's best friends,Auntie Hana & Auntie Illeque,here goes something for you too:

My Friend

My Friend,when I think of you.
I think of all that we've been through.
All the times we argue and fight,
I know deep inside that it isn't right.
I, then feel bad and alot of pain.
It feels like I've fallen from the sky like the rain.
I love you dear friend with all of my heart.
But now that you're gone I've fallen apart.
I'm getting better as the days go by.
I wish sometimes this was all a big lie.
I pray to you every night.
It's like you're my fire, a burning light.
My dear friend, I miss you alot.
I still wonder why you were put in that spot.
I know you're in a place much better than here.
Watching and helping me with all of my fear.
Our friendship my dear friend,
we will have to the end.
Friends till the end is what we will be.
Someday we'll be together,
together you and me.

p/s:A friend in need is a friend indeed...('-')/
