Malaysian-get together

"Marilah mari...pergi mengundi...jangan lupa kewajipan pada negara"...I guess kalau kat mesia mesti lagu ni sekarang yang berada di carta tip top especially di radio2 mahupun televisyen kerajaan...yerla..hari ni kan hari mengundi dan dalam masa beberapa jam dari sekarang akan diumumkan lah keputusan pilihanraya tersebut...sama ada semakin kukuh kerajaan yang memerintah sekarang atau sebaliknya..but deep inside my heart i believe..it's hard for the opponents to create/build up their own new nation..setakat untuk acah2...gertak bolehla..after all kita perlukan pembangkang dalam sebuah negara demokrasi..atleast to express people opinion..(if not all..the half side of it)...cuba pk..kalau sesebuah negara tu takde pembangkang..nanti kerajaan taktau diaorg buat tu betul ke tak..rasa betul jek la..and bila kita dah sampai tahap tu..ditakuti pulak nanti kita akan sentiasa berada di dalam "comfort zone"..i guess..and perkara2 yang tak sepatutnya berlaku..akan dikira ok jek..sebab takde parti yang nak menyuarakan ketidakbetulan itu..(ayoyo..apa aku merepek nih!). Well, anyway I am not a politician..not even interested to involve with..eventhough my dad..huhhuuu..bapaku..adalah seorg yang sangat aktif suatu waktu dahulu dalam arena ini..and i like to ask him about politics..i'm so proud of him as he can easily answer whatever situations happen which sometimes does not make sense to me..

Anyway, bercakap pasal politik ni..last week kami Malaysian families..yang tak berapa kerat ni..telah dikunjungi oleh Kak Aishah, Kelab Umno Denmark..so since semakin ramai Malaysian di sini..kemungkinan dia akan form Kelab Umno for Scanidavian instead of Denmark sahaja..Whatever it is, waktu ni je la kami amik kesempatan to get to-gether...so, sempatla juga discuss few issues and problems yang kami faced di sini..not sure what or how she can help..but atleast, there're shoulders to cry on..huhuhu..

Btw, I was also introduced with one Singaporean lady who married with a Norwegian here and her name is Zakiah..She's very nice...and so helpful..tak pasal2..dia lak yang terlebih concern pasal masalah kami di sini..and we've been talked sampai tak sedar waktu dah cecah kol 9 malam..(it started at 1.00pm..so ingatkan lepas asar ke dah settle)..tu la nye..org kata kalo dah jumpa org kampung..Singapore ngn JB kan tak jauh mana..so Zakiah ni pulak tau semua kedai2 atau warong2 yg famous kat JB...gerai goreng pisang mana lagi la..mawar la..angsana la..an even umbai kat melaka..phew! Dasat minah ni..tetiba lak..miss kat jb..huhuhu...bila la bley melawat semula tanah tumpah darah ku itu..:)

the presentation of the food: menu selera kampung idea Fazilah (wife President)

masakan yang sempat ummi prepare: kailan ikan masin, kangkung goreng belacan, sambal tumis ikan bilis, telur bungkus dan popia goreng

the crowds sedang menjamu selera: in the photo .. Din (suami anis), ezanee, hubby zakiah and of course my hubby sedang khusyuk makan tak sempat tgk camera..

here we are...next to me is Zakiah...and belakang anis is kak Aishah. Fazilah with her little baby..sian tuan rumah masih dalam pantang..

morning before kak Aishah berangkat balik..invited her to have a breakfast in my house..setakat makan nasi lemak je la..sebab ada sambal tumis semalam lebih..:)

Satu minggu yang meletihkan..

What a week! It's so tiring and I guess it's just not my day (week!)Everything seems like wrong here and there. Tuhan menduga kita dengan perkara yang tak diduga...jadi sebagai hambaNya kita perlu redha. Namun mohon dikuatkan semangat hambaMu ini di sini ya Allah. C'mon..u have to wake up! Bangun dan kuatkan semangat untuk meneruskan perjuangan yang masih belum selesai ini. Mak dan keluarga yang lain di Malaysia, doakan semoga urusan kami dipermudahkan di sini. I am suppose to finish up my write-up but due to lots of incidents happened that make ourselves miserable over here. Things just become worse and worse. Let me just share with u all on the things happened to us in this whole week.

Mon: 5pm (dinner time) - terima sms dari K.long tentang pemergian Allahyarham Abg Mad

6pm - dapat e-mail dari Sit Bolig pasal suh keluo umah..

Tue: pergi ofc macam biasa..try buat keje..tapi satu apa pun tak masuk...sibuk cari umah. Balik half day..

Wed: tak pergi office..masih sibuk cari umah dan received reply dari seme landlord yang kebanyakannya refused utk bagi sewa kerana jumlah anak yg dikira ramai dan selebihnya mereka agak sceptical utk terima foreigners..:( Petang: abah tetiba collapse! Ummi mmg taktau nak buat apa dan nasib baikla mmg ada kat rumah masa tu...Alhamdulillah Allah masih menyayangi kami dan sekadar ingin menduga keimanan kami..

Thu: masih mencari rumah...still terima negative reponds..and at the same time work together dgn 2 other Malaysian families utk cari solution psl umah nih...Petang: bawa abah gi check-up kat klinik and Alhamdulillah Doktor kata takde apa2 complication cuma tekanan darah abah agak rendah dan Doktor suruh berhati2 pasal berhenti merokok..

Fri: hantar e-mail merayu dekat Sit Bolig memandangkan ada yang masih dibenarkan utk renew the contract (mmg tak paham polisi apa yg mereka guna). Minta sokongan dan clarification dari Department juga. Thanks to Randi..nasib dia banyak membantu...Abah dan Ezanee mengadap Sit Bolig untuk merayu lagi..and working out dgn Shahriman utk pk camana lagi nak buat supaya dapat exemption...

Fuh! Mende ni mmg betul2 meletihkan dan menyesakkan kepala. Abih satu minggu macam tu jek. Tak dapat nak pk mende lain dan fokus seme dah ilang. Lari dah deadline which I'm suppose to show my working paper to Prof Thanh. Sorry Prof, this is something that I didn't ask for. Promise will continue it soon!!

Salji masih turun dgn lebatnya...nak gerak pun susah

Suram je keadaan...macam faham apa yg tgh bergolak dalam diri kami di sini..

Anak-anak masih lena tidur...tak mengerti apa yang berlaku dan bakal terjadi...ke mana lah kita lepas ni anak2ku...hanya dengan kehadiran kalian sahajalah yang dapat menguatkan semangat Ummi dan abah di sini...

Trondheim city: Summer vs Winter

Just wanna share with u all some of the photos shoot in Trondheim city during summer and winter. Don't mention about the temperature but the one that we hate most is to face such a loooooonggggggggggg day during the summer and also a loooooooooooooooongggggggggg nite during the winter. Bayangkan kol 10 malam masih macam kol 6 ptg jek...masa memula sampai bulan 8 aritu....sampaikan bebudak ni dok tanya..ummi dah malam ke..dah malam ke..berkali2...just because they couldn't see the moon yet...and now, during the winter (especially in x'mas eve) we hardly see the sun...just imagine we have to switch on the light all the time..and only have the daylight between 12 til 2pm....the rest is just darkness all around us...kesian budak2...nak bangun tido pun dok tanya..ummi dah siang ke..boleh bangun?..and we're told that the most daylight will be on the 21st of june while the most darkness is on the 21st of december every year....so, here we're...that's one of the thing that we never experienced before until we reach this artic circle country...besarnya keajaiban Allah...:) Allahuakbar!

Abah with the kids during the last summer..sempoi jek masing2 pakai baju sehelai..

Posing depan satu park di pekan Trondheim. It was 6 mths back...tgk tu....rihana kecik jek lagi...ke sana sini kami dgn baby carrier..mengendung si kecik..

Abah amik kesempatan naik ski-boat dengan rihana kat Byasen during the heavy snow fall last X'mas eve

Rizqin naik syok meluncur sampai tak ingat nak balik..

Muhammad dgn gaya pro nya..

learning Norwegian language - Part I

Starting from this semester my department has send me to a Norwegian language course. The department has the allocation for that to ensure we can communicate in their language among the colleague. It's quite difficult to learn their language. There are lots of new words that is not familiar with us. Luckily I have Mona, Martin and Randi in the office who help me to practise with the language. Anyway, I am just taking it for fun and since it is sponsored so I just attend to make sure atleast I can understand whatever letters or memo send to us either from the community, schools or other organizations..So, I'll take this chance to list few common words that we might use in our daily conversation.

1. vaer sa god: welcome / may i help u

2. tusen takk : thank u very much

3. god morgen : good morning

4. god dag : good day

5. hva heter du? what is your name?

6. jeg heter Nor. My name is Nor

7. hvor kommer du fra? where do u come from?

8. Jeg kommer fra Malaysia. I come from Malaysia.

ogsa (also), men (but), og (and), eller (or)

Flott! (Excellent)

So I guess I'd have to stop until now and we'll continue with the basic words in the next lesson. Takk for i dag (thanks for the day!)

Pa vei - the text and exercise books that we use to learn the language and of course some dictionaries/vocabularies references

In the picture: Randi, Mona and Martin (my Norwegian colleague) during the last Aidilfitri

Mona really loves kid - amik kesempatan posing ngan Rihana yang masih tak berambut masa tu..:)
