karipap kentang yang sedap itu

Suka karipap! Tapi karipap kentanglah..karipap sardin kurang gemar.

Jadi bila ada rakan sepejabat belanja sarapan untuk seluruh Bahagian pada Jumaat lepas kerana beliau naik pangkat, rasa sangat seronok sebab pakej sarapan adalah sebungkus nasi lemak ayam berserta 3 ketul karipap kentang. Selepas siap makan nasi lemak, saya terus fokuskan untuk menikmati karipap yang masih hangat dan rangup. Mmm..sedap!

Tapi baru sempat jamah seketul sebelum sepanjang hari telah jadi huru-hara dengan pelbagai tugas dicampur mesyuarat yang berakhir lewat petang, maka karipap juga telah hilang dalam timbunan dokumen yang bersepahan di atas meja.

++++

Baru sahaja saya hidupkan komputer pagi tadi, seorang staf datang mampir lalu menyapa, "Wah, bawak bekal karipap ke? Sedapnya!".

Eh? Setahu saya, saya cuma bawa brownies dari rumah dan tidak singgah di mana-mana untuk beli sarapan..jadi mana pula datang karipap?

Ya, setelah diamati dengan teliti, sahlah karipap tersebut adalah 2 ketul baki karipap kentang sedap hari Jumaat lalu yang telah tidak sengaja dilupakan..

Saya begitu kesal kerana tidak sempat memakannya minggu lepas dan ia hanya timbul semula setelah bergelimpangan di atas meja pejabat sepanjang hujung minggu, hinggakan saya simpan sahaja ia di tepi keyboard untuk tatapan semasa bekerja hari ini.

Namun akhirnya saya buang juga karipap tersebut ke dalam tong sampah memandangkan selepas saya gigit sedikit di hujungnya sewaktu lunch break, sudah mula terhasil jejaring halus dan likat pada inti kentangnya. Huhuuh..

Nak makan karipap kentang sedap Jumaat lepas.. >_<

night runner

I went to KLCC Park after maghrib for an evening after-work jog/run. It's a good place since its not-so-far from office (okey laa), got vast parking lots (though the only setback is that they aren't free :p), a mosque just beside the jogging track, drinking fountains, safe (there are security personnels scattered around to watch the place) and plus, I don't think it'll be a lonely workout as I always see people running around there until night.

That was the first time I run at night, and I think it gives a different kind of a nice feeling compared to running in the dark of an early morning, though I like a morning run as well.

I had only finished the first lap and already I felt that my legs were going to cramp huhuuh. Yeah you guessed it right, I jumped straight out from the car onto the track without proper stretching. The pessimist side of me already begging to go home, but the cheapskate in me won the war, rationalizing that I'd already been charged a parking fee for the first hour while I'd only been there for a mere 15 minutes. So that pushed me to another lap.

Slowing down as I neared the end of the second lap, I was ready to call it quit when suddenly a guy ran past me, marching to the rhythm of his MP3 player. I noticed that his pace was not so fast but constant with short strides, and I thought I could catch that. And suddenly I found myself already on his ass tailing him closely, one stride behind.

It was a surprisingly nice run! Focusing to him and being careful not to step on his feet, I just tagged along mindlessly that even the leg cramp disappeared halfway through the circle.

But noticing that he sometimes slowed a bit and glanced to his sides to check on his stalker, I feared that he would suddenly turn around with a fuming mad and annoyed face barking to me, "Why are you following me?! Are you some psycho??!". Anticipating such scary moment, I cooked up so many excuses in my head from a plain "I just need someone to pull me through the course" to "I have low blood pressure and worry that I would faint, so I need to run closely to somebody" to even "You look like my ex-boyfriend, I just can't get you off my eyes" (ok the last one indeed sounds like a psycho huhuhu)..

Hence my heart almost skipped a beat when he did turn around to me when we came to our starting point! Except, to my relief, not with a fuming mad and annoyed face, but with a wide grin, eyes twinkling, calling out to me, "Last lap!", and sped off forward for another round.

I surely didn't expect that..I was so stunned that I just stood there and laughed out loud, before screaming back to him "Are you really gonna sprint the whole lap?!" and got back on track to catch up. Luckily he slowed down halfway, so we rejoined and sprint the last 100m together (though of course I was far behind heheh). Huff-puffing and panting, and face beaming with joy, we smiled and thanked each other for the fun workout together, and parted.

It's amazing how we can so much enjoy a company of a total stranger, though only for half an hour and most of the times in silence, that it motivates you to go through a course that you already thought of quitting.

Teori Selang

Dalam keluarga saya, ada satu Teori Selang.

Yang mana jika seorang anak pada satu turutan ganjil (1,3,5,7...) memiliki suatu ciri tertentu, kemungkinan besar anak pada turutan ganjil seterusnya juga akan mewarisi ciri yang sama.

Hal ini juga terpakai kepada anak-anak pada turutan genap (2,4,6,8...).

Tapi teori ini hanya dapat dikaji dan dibuktikan sehingga anak pada turutan ke-4 sahaja. Sebabnya? Ya, adik-beradik saya cuma 4 orang sahaja heheheh. 

Sebagai contoh pembuktian teori, anak-anak pada turutan genap mempunyai masalah cracked heels and toes, manakala kaki anak-anak pada turutan ganjil orait je.. Perkara ini telah dapat diperhatikan sejak kecil-kecil lagi.

Tapi, ada sesetengah perkara bila dah besar-besar gabak begini baru dapat diketahui.

Antaranya ialah anak-anak pada turutan ganjil boleh kekal dalam keadaan normal di tempat yang tinggi, sedangkan anak-anak pada turutan genap gayat giller tak boleh blah sampai nak naik ke puncak Broga perlu berhenti beberapa kali untuk mengadakan segmen pujuk rayu dan sesi motivasi "Kau Boleh!". Huhuhuu...

But finally, we managed to hike up there to catch the sunrise :)

Dawn of a new day

The first ray of light crossing our face

Geng ganjil

Geng genap

Kaler baju berselang (not part of the theory)

Tapi nampaknya Teori Selang ini tidak terpakai apabila berada di air.

Ini jelas dapat dilihat dalam sesi pengkajian teori seterusnya di Sungai Tekala sebaik turun dari Bukit Broga, yang mana si Ganjil 1 dan Genap 2 memang suka sangat berendam dan terjun-terjun dalam air sungai yang dingin dan nyaman itu, si Ganjil 2 suka juga tapi takut-takut, manakala si Genap 1 pula tak suka sangat hal air-air ni.

Terjuuunn!!

(Err..budak atas batu bukan salah seorang subjek dalam ujikaji teori ini)

 A wonderful nature's day outing - our one and only full-house siblings hangout for 2009!

Dan ketepatan Teori Selang ini akan terus diperhatikan dari semasa ke semasa.
