Merdeka Tanah Airku

Selamat Ulang Tahun Kemerdekaan buat negaraku yang tercinta... MALAYSIA

Walaupun sudah banyak negara yg ku pernah lawati (lawat je, bukan bermastautin)...Malaysia jugak yang best.

The food, the people (walaupun ade certain yg mcm layak mati je), the diverse culture, the FOOD! hahahaha..

Oh Malaysia..walaupun politics here in my opinion sucks to the max, tetapi aku tetap bersyukur kerana takde bunyi bom meletup (bunyi mercun bola meletup adela), takde rusuhan yg mengancam nyawa dan harta benda (mcm yg kat london tu), takde kekurangan makanan (yg ade hanyelah harga barang makanan yg meningkat, but hey, we still have sufficient food rite?) and macam2 lagi la. Kalau aku nak list semua, memang tak mampu la. Ye walaupun negara ni ade mcm2 kes samun la, kes simbah asid la, ragut, rogol, bunuh, samun, rompak..erkk... but still, I feel safe. Polis2 Malaysia bertungkus lumus menjalankan tugas mereka utk menjaga keamanan negara (#optimistic). 

Ok la itu sahaja aku nak ckp.....

A simple poster I made just to remind me of the jerit perih yg pejuang2 kemerdekaan tanah air kite lalui in order to get independence for our beloved country

Oh yeah! And this video, layak untuk dijadikan iklan merdeka on TV. Oh Matluthfi..you've done it again. Why are you so creative???! (Jealous....but in a good way)

Jauhnyeeeeeww

Senario 1

Me: Umi, sabtu ni Ammar ade interview for degree..so, umi dtg ambik Ammar petang2 ckit la
Umi (my mom): Interview for what course?
Me: Mass communication.....
Umi: Mass comm? Kenapa tak apply something mcm architecture? tak rugi ke? bla bla bla (mom nagging)

Senario 2

Kawan: Mar, kau sambung degree ape nanti?
Me: Advertising
Kawan: Owh, fakulti mane?
Me: Mass comm
Kawan: Kau diploma dulu ape eh?
Me: Building
Kawan. Pergh! Jauh gileeeeee!

-saya terus offline-

Senario 3

Cikgu: How bout u? u sambung degree in what?
Me: Owh mass communication, major in advertising
Cikgu: And what did u do for diploma? (here we go again...)
Me: urmm..(mcm taknak jawab kerana dah expect reaksi yg sama)..urm..building. building construction
Cikgu: Wowww. So far???? (kan dah kate...)

Assalamualaikum dan hello to all of you guys! Bercerita tentang jauhnye, yeah still, Im gonna talk about my career path change that had shocked many people. Hahahaha. Yeah seriously, saye dah tak tau nak jawab ape dah bile org bagi reaction sorta like surprised, skeptical, shocked and mcm2 reaction lain towards my answer... 'Mass communication, advertising' and 'building'.

Career....omg, why do so many people associate career with the courses that we are taking in varsities. Ok2 betul, memang la courses tu semua utk menyediakan kite for our working life, but why constrict it? Constriction in the context of, ow kalau kau diploma accounts, degree pun kau kene accounts. Macam mase skolah kau class pure science, so you have to be a doctor or take medical courses ONLY bile sambung pengajian kt university. To me now, no. It doesnt matter anymore. Dulu memang, aku berfikiran bahawa jika kau belajar science, kau kene jd doctor/ jika kau belajar law, kau kene jadi lawyer/ jika kau belajar architecture, kau kene jadi architect.... tp skarang, tidak lagi.

Ok la, aku malas nak cerite panjang2 and meleret leret cuz nanti sampai ke bulan jadinye. haha..ha.ha..heh. My point here is that, most people, bile mereka dah masuk into this certain course, diorg dah tekad and dah sure ape nak jadi, for example...

Mr. Engineer: Saye masuk engineering kerana mak saye suruh jadi engineer, jadi, saye kene jadi engineer and therefore sebab tu saye masuk engineering

Ms Fashionista: I wanna be the greatest fashion designer, and I love fashion a lot, and that's why Im now in the fashion design course

Mr. Surgery Guy: Saye minat sgt bedah2 ni. Saye dari kecik nak jadi dokter. Jadi, saye masuk la course medicine ni utk mengecapi impian saye...

Ok now, so based on pertanyaan tiga individu diatas, mereka dah tau mereka nak jadi ape dan mereka masuk dlm course2 mereka itu kerana mereka dah tetap pendirian. Berbeza dengan saye...kalau anda nak tau, saye ni memang tak tetap pendirian. Kalau hari ni saye ckp esok saye nak pegi post office, tapi bile tibe hari esok, saye akan ke pejabat tanah instead (ok..that's not a good example). Ok senang cerite mcm ni la, saye mmg la pilih course utk kerjaya yg selesa, tetapi disamping itu saye tgk juge kurikulumnya, whether can it benefit me later in life IF saye ambil keputusan utk tidak bekerja dlm bidang itu. Faham tak maksud saye?

Ok cmni la, saye buke cerite la. Dulu mase saye diploma in building, saye ade la jugak minat ckiiiiiit dkt architecture. And ade pernah saye buat keputusan utk mengambil ijazah senibina bile saye dah tamat diploma..tetapi, bile dah lalui 6 semester, termasuk practical training, saye dah sedar bahawa saya tidak mempunyai jiwa utk bekerja dlm pembinaan ni. No soul at all...BUT, I never regret of studying construction. Sebab saye tanam dlm hati saye bahawa, ILMU...ilmu kite boleh gune dimana-mana utk ape2 tujuan (tujuan yg baik that is). Jadi, segala ilmu yang saye pelajari mase diploma tu, saye simpan utk bekalan hari esok. Same jugak mcm belajar dulu kt skolah menengah, saye dlm kelas pure science. But I still remember what is Bernoulli's principle, structure of unicellular organisms, basic chemical equations (basic je la, kalau yg equation panjang2 tu, harap maaf la aku nak ingat) and other science related stuff. Which mase diploma pun,     I have to relate jugak ape yg I belajar mase skolah dulu dlm subjects2 diploma especially Building Science. So, do I regret studying pure science mase skolah dulu? Not at all.

Then, diploma habis, nak masuk degree. Saye mengambil keputusan utk tackle advertising plak. Disinilah saye frust menonggeng. Ramai question my judgement.... kate saye membazir mase la, rugi la saye belajar 6 sem diploma, rugi duit itu ini and other sorts of things. Tapi, knowing me, saye tak ambik kisah pun pandangan org, saye suke ikut kate hati saye. I dont give a shit what people think, cuz I have my own agenda. Setiap pilihan yg saye buat, saye ade reasonnye to why I made that decision. Saye tak buat decision secara 'eeny meeny miny mo' dan 'tutup mate dan pilih secara rawak'. No. Never. I always have a reason. Anyway....yeah, saye pilih advertising kerana saye ade agenda saye. Salah satunye, saye nak belajar cara2 marketing, handling events and upkan lagi my communication skill. Other than that, it will help me jugak nanti in the future when I decide to open my dream cafe. Advertising and marketing is verrrrry important for businesses, lagi2 business kecil-kecilan yang nak berkembang naik. So, boleh nampak tak rasionalnye disitu? 

Selain itu, sekarang juge saye sudah ingin belajar memasak secara sendiri, mungkin nanti bile ade duit lebih, saye akan enrol masuk dlm kelas memasak. Kerana ape? The same reason I choose advertising...it is for my dream cafe. Sekarang ni motivation saye adelah cafe saye tu. Saye nak jugak buke sebuah cafe yg menjual homemade burgers kepunyaan saye, seorang bumiputera. With cooking skills, I can invent a diverse menu for the cafe. Insya-Allah. And, with my knowledge in construction, I can plan my layout for the cafe, the suitable finishes to be used for the cafe, and dealing with contractors that are going to construct the cafe...

Suara sumbang: Ok fine la, kau nak bukak cafe whatever, tapi kau ade modal ke? Takkan kau habis grad degree nanti kau nak terus bukak cafe tu? 

Saye faham pertanyaan awak. Saye akan kerja dulu dlm bidang advertising atau ape2 bidang je la (sebab skarang ni takleh nak memilih kerja sgt) dan akan start kumpul duit utk cafe itu. Tapi before ade cafe, it is best to start kecil-kecilan dulu kan... Maybe first saye akan set up la gerai  kecilan dulu, then bile dah ade steady cash flow, and permintaan yg tinggi..barulah cafe tu akan dibangunkan. Itulah perancangan saye skarang.  Insya-Allah jike diberi kesempatan. 

Wowww..ini mmg dah jauhnyeeeeew. Dari cakap pasal tukar course, sampai ke cafe plak jadinye. Okla saye nak buat kesimpulan, dunia ni luas...ilmu ade dimana mana, dan Rasulullah S.A.W pun pernah bersabda, 'Tuntutlah ilmu sehingga ke negeri China'. Jadi selagi hidup ni, tuntutlah ilmu utk kebaikan agama, bangsa dan negara. Saye tak belajar kerana kerja...saye belajar utk kehidupan. The simplest things in life, can make a big difference in your life...Jadi, dont ever question people yg tukar course bagai kononnye jauh la whatever...sebab diorg ade reason diorg. Anda boleh menasihat, tetapi jangan menghina atau menjatuhkan. Ok? good....

*post ini bersifat peribadi ckit. Jadi maaf jike terkasar bahase atau termelalut sehingga ke negeri china :)

and maaf juge jika ade typo errors...hehehe

Transition of Ambitions

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera everyone. I think it's not too late of me to wish Selamat Berpuasa to everyone especially you readers out there. Dah 6 hari kite berpuase ye, sekejap saje kan mase berlalu....hmmm...

Anyway, this post is actually inspired by a blogpost of  a friend of mine, Deedy who wrote about his ambition of becoming a renowned entertainment journalist. You can read it all......HERE. So Deedy, yes...u inspired me. hahaha.

When I read his blogpost tu, I pun terfikir...yeah, what did I wished to be ya masa kecik2 dulu. To tell you guys the truth, mcm2 ok cite2 aku..smuanye berubah mengikut waktu...and there fore, the title of this blogpost....

Transition of Ambitions

No no. Takde kene mengena with transition elements in the periodic table... it's just me bercerita dgn u guys about my various ambitions, dari kecik sampai la ke besaq gajah skarang ni. 

Aku ni, dari dulu sampai la skarang...mmg suke berkhayal dan berimaginasi, and of my habits sampai la ke skarang ni is suke betul berkhayal yg aku ni ada tv show sendiri. Serious, kalau korg nak tau, if aku mcm takde ape nak buat, or tgh tggu bus ke, dlm bus ke, or whatever, aku mmg akan berkhayal dlm dunia fantasi aku tu. Aku as a TV HOST. Stakat ni mcm2 tv show dah aku 'kendali' dlm dunia fantasi aku, mostly my own talk show. Aku ingat lagi mase aku umur 7 tahun dulu, datuk sedara aku tanye aku...

Tok Ami: Ammar nak jadi pa nanti bila besaq?

Aku: Ammar nak jadi pengacara la...

Hahaha. Aah. Aku mase skolah rendah dulu, mmg bercita-cita nak jadi pengacara, especially game show host..sebab mase tu aku dipengaruhi oleh Roda Impian dan lain2 program gameshow mase tu. 

Kerjaya sebagai TV talk show host menjadi permainan imaginasi sampai sekarang

Impianku untuk menjadi seorang TV talk show host masih tersemat disanubari...ececece (ok stop). So..lepas tu, aku tak tau ape cite2 aku. Aku macam tak fikir dah pasal cite2, pasal ape yg aku nak jadi nanti bile besaq..sehinggalah aku masuk skolah menengah. Mase zaman2 form 1 and form 2. Kitorg mase tu tgh borak pasal kerjaya and ambitions. Tanye satu sama lain...then bile turn aku...

Kawan aku: Ammar, what do u wanna be?

Aku: I wanna be a lawyer..

LAWYER cuolzz! Mampu tak? Hahahaha. Ha, betul. Mase tu tibe2 cite2 aku was to be a lawyer/peguam. Mungkin sebab mase tu popular with court dramas mcm Ally McBeal, The Practice, and satu lg crite tu aku tak ingat nama dia, tapi yeah, I was ambitioned to be a lawayer...tetapi, ia tak lama la..sebab my mom ckp jgn jadi lawyer...tak berapa berkat org kate. Ye ke? Ha, org kate jd lawyer kena tipu... Oh ye ke... (sorry ye Law students. Saye tak berniat ape2)... Lepas tu, aku pun mcm dah hilang semangat untuk menjadi lawyer.....

Peguam...sering dikaitkan dengan kerjaya yg tidak membawa berkat

Hmmm...so, tak bawak berkat la pulak katenye....haihh.. habis satu cita2. Then mase berlalu, it was the time where we had to fill up the borang utk kelas form 4, whether nak ambik Pure Science kah, Sub Science kah, Commerce kah or Arts kah. Again, aku dlm dilemma...actually bukan dilemma, its more of a ketidakpastian. Hmm...which should I choose...Atas desakan rakan-rakan lain... saye memilih... Pure Science, and mmg aku dpt pun kelas pure science mase form 4... 

Dalam pure science class, kami belajar the 3 major branches in science which are biology, chemistry and physics...so, atas reason itu...satu lagi cite2 berputik di lubuk hatii.... iaitu..aku mahu menjadi seorg.... FORENSIC SCIENTIST.

Ha sudahhh.... forensic pulak dah. Yes. Aku sgt berminat in forensics. Satu reasonnye was maybe I was too indulged into the famous TV show called CSI... crime scene investigation... yeap. Forensics berkait rapat with crime scenes. Bile aku cerita kt kwn2 yg aku nak jd mcm CSI, ramai yg mcm... 

Aiyooo...mau bedah mayat ka?

Eeee..nanti kat universiti kau kene test tidur dalam bilik mayat..

Ammar kau tak takut ke darah and mayat2 ngeri smua??? 

Hmmm...tidak. Aku tak takut ngan darah, and mayat2 ni plak...ok, ada la rase ngeri ckit tp..aku takdela sampai nak termuntah tgk mayat ke ape (Ceh, mcm la kau pernah tgk mayat ngeri dpn mate kau sendiri. Ckp je mmg senang la!). Tp being a forensic scientist tak semestinya kene berdepan ngan mayat je. Mcm2 tugas forensic scientist. Uji DNA, proses bukti2 from tmpt kejadian, buat ujian ballistics, mcm2 la. Aku akui, kerjaya as a forensic scientist is really cooolll. 

Tetapi..... lama kelamaan, minat ku terhadap science smakin luput...and Im no longer passionate about forensics. 

Forensics dan uji kaji...

Hmmm..seperti biase la...lepas satu cite2 sudah tidak diminati lagi, I am left without an ambition..but not for long la. Lepas tu, I began to be interested with magazine publishing, to be specific, fashion magazine. Aku mmg teringin sgt nak keje in the editorial field pulak. You know, making a spread about the latest fashion shows, trends, designers to look for, and all sorts la. Yes again, one movie had strengthen my urge of becoming a renowned FASHION MAGAZINE EDITOR....The Devil Wears Prada. Hahahaa. Since then, I always look into fashion magazines and examining their way of writing, the layouts, the contents, covers, everything la. Termasuk la iklan2 editorial kt dlm tu pun aku examine jugak.

Editor in chief pegang segala kuasa dalam penerbitan sebuah majalah

Yeap yeap. Cita-cita ni masih ada dalam sanubari.... dan sebab itu aku memilih Mass Communication as my field of study utk degree, so that insya-Allah aku dpt masuk into magazine publishing. I hope so. Ha, and then kan, ada lagiii satu cite2 aku... Boleh kate, cite2 ni mmg aku harap akan menjadi la sbb I really have the passion for it... Apekah cite2 itu.... Saya bercita-cita untuk membuka sebuah kafe makanan, which the menu will be comprising of homemade burgers. Ye, daging burger buat sendiri. Anda perasan tak, kedai2 burger kt malaysia ni, daging burger diorg gune lepiaq (leper) mcm pa lagi. The burger patties tak juicy langsung. So, sbb tu la saye bercita-cita utk buka sebuah kafe yg jual burger with homemade burger patties yg lebih juicy, and tak leper mcm baru kena lenyek ngan lori. Insya-Allah. If god willing, dan kewangan yg cukup, I will open the cafe. Lagi satu sebab, I have passion for cooking and I totally lovvveee food. Siapa yang benci terhadap makanan (para2 aneroxia dan bulimia), adalah manusia paling bodoh di dunia (ok, emo sebentar). 

And there you go, these were/are the ambitions yg aku pernah/masih impikan. Harap2, kalau takde aral melintang, aku dpt la kecapi cite2 ku ini... becoming a magazine editor, and also having my own burger cafe, and... my own talk show maybe? hahaha. Insya-Allah.
