Ikebana + Seiji No Hi

In the name of Allah... 

Ikebana.. or "Flower Arrangement" is a part of Japanese Tradition.

Last January 13,  aku diberi peluang untuk melihat pameran "ikebana" secara percuma...

I don't know much about "Ikebana".. One thing I know for sure is that they are reeeeeaaallly pretty..

I just wanna share with you some of the pictures taken on that day..

So? Macamana? きれい　ですね！！

and I went there with my Bangladeshi friend.. Sist. Nahar...

tetiba nak interframe gak.. adoi la ayu..

That day was Monday.. So I kinda wondering too, kenapa kami cuti..

rupa-rupanya, hari tu adalah "Seiji No Hi" (Coming of Age Day)..

People celebrated those who just turn 20 years old (Young adult)..

These young adults will wear a kimono (for lady) and suit (for guys)..

Jadi, ini gambar saya dengan salah seorang "young adult"..

boleh tak i perasan yang i lagi young.. kekekeke...

Till then.. Bye...

Berkat nasi lemak Hakodate =)

In the name of Allah..

Alahai, semalam bercita2 nak buat nasi lemak + ayam goreng..

Tega meredah snow semata2 nak beli ayam. Last2 xde pula yg halal...

Memangla ak tau diorg jual sikit2 je.. Aku ni pun agak2 la kan..macam la aku sorg muslim kat hakodate.. Hahaha..

Last2.. Buat juga nasi lemak tapi buat sotong goreng tepung..

alhamdulillah, berkat nasi lemak tu, dapat juga jamu 3 orang selain jamu diri sendiri sampai dah nak muntah tengok nasi.. hahaha

unfortunately, the rice became a bit soggy.. mungkin sebab beras Jepun terlalu berkanji untuk dimasak bersama santan.... atau.. atau..

memang I tak tahu masak.. kekeke..

anyway.. this is the picture..

Nasi lemak Hakodate yang tak semegah nasi lemak mak.. huhuhuhu...

Kembara Cita 4 - post tertangguh

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.

"Surely there is ease after hardship"

"Aye, surely there is ease after hardship"

{Al-insyirah 94:6-7} 

Ya, BENAR kata2 tuhanku itu...

aku sedang menikmati "the ease"...

Alhamdulillah..

Namun, adalah payah untuk mentadbir "ease" berbanding mentadbir "difficulties"..

Mudah2an, Allah terus bantu..

Actually, Kembara Cita 4 adalah nota tertangguh, sambungan kepada Kembara Cita 3...
Malangnya, dah hilang pulak passion nak menulis tentang kembara solo di bumi Jepun untuk ambil entrance exam... huhuhuhu..
pengajarannya: NEVER EVER EVER PROCRASTINATE!!!

Allah... kalau tak pasti banyak yang nak dikongsi..
hurmmm...
tapi kita cubalah ye.. sikit2 jadilah.. mudah2an jadi asbab kebaikan diri sendiri dan orang lain..

owh, sambungan...
Esoknya, seawal 8.00 pagi saya dah bersiap dan turun ke lobby menunggu sensei..
ye lah, dengarnya org JEPUN punctual..
it's TRUE!! at least my sensei did it.. hahaha
8.30 am.. sharp.. He's there, picking me up to..... SCHOOL.. hehehe..
pergi kampus... pertama kali melihat kampus yang akan saya duduki selama 3 tahun insyaAllah, i was overwhelmed..

i remember the feeling..
aaah.. tak tau macamana nak tulis..

Faculty of Fisheries Science and Graduate School of Fisheries Science..
itu namanya..

Sensei kenalkan kepada ahli lab yang lain..
they were all a bunch of nice people and MATSUMURA YUTA san has helped me a lot.. May Allah, grant him Hidayah..
and he's handsome too.. hahaha..
owh, forgot to mention FENG GAO san too..
thank you!!!

anyway, sensei introduce a little about lab dan bawa saya ronda2 kampus...
sensei juga briefly explain to me about the exam...

(fast forward... >>>> hahaha) ....and the next 2 days, i took the exam..
presenting my Master thesis to 6 Professors and Associates..
Nervous jugakla.. saya tak putus2 baca doa supaya dilancarkan lisan ketika bercakap..
ye la, bercakap bahasa inggeris... lidah orang melayu.. =p

Exam Card... ;)

Alhamdulillah.. lancar...
All the senseis are so nice.. 'down to earth' attitude...
habis presenting, they asked me few questions about my researches..
and it's ended with smiles and saya terdengar seorang sensei cakap "ii desu ne"...
hahaha..
Alhamdulillah...

balik ke lab (sbb exam and interview buat di bilik lain), sedang duduk2 tiba2 datang seorang senior sensei (Prof emeritus) nak jumpa saya.. beliau juga merupakan salah seorang interviewer tadi..
terkejut juga saya, rupanya beliau nak bagi nota2 dan manuscript penyelidikannya selama 30 tahun kepada saya.. kenapa?? sebab katanya research master saya bagus.. ntahlah.. saya, terima and syukur saja lah..
tiadalah daya saya sebagai hamba melainkan dengan daya yang dipinjamkan allah kepada saya..
Alhamdulillah...

beberapa hari seterusnya di bumi Jepun, menikmati indahnya winter...
Subhanallah...

itu sajalah... kembara solo saya...
kini, saya dah pun menetap di Hakodate, Hokkaido, Japan..

Masih dibantu Allah dalam menjalani hidup.. masih belajar and thanks to my lab mates.. you guys are super awesome...

Special thanks to Sensei, Gao san, So-chan, Eri-chan and KAZUMICHI SATO san..
For that, I give you my prayer.. May Allah grant you all with His Hidayah...

Sadly, many of them will leave soon.. sebab dah habis study.. hurmmm...
minna, good luck in your future undertakings..

and this is for me.. a little reminder "how fortunate you are, Ayu... dakara, ganbaru... \(-_-)/"
yosh!!

My birthday's quote (2013/12/30): Behind my apato... It was a blissful 27 years. Praise to Allah for his mercy. Alhamdulillah for everything. Great parents, shohabah, families, mentors, teachers/lecturers and now, dreams come true, great sensei, wonderful new friends, new muslim families, kind-hearted neighbour (and she's my labmate), very helpful labmates, messy apato  with wide windows, beautiful hakodate, new knowledge, money and love.. Owh ya, last but not least.. "Nihongo" - sounds like music to my ears.. Echoing and reminding me that "after hardship, there's ease"... Alhamdulillah.. — 

Cooking time

In the name of Allah..

みんな、smile!!!

Tomorrow (2014/01/19), I'm planning to cook something special (special lah sangat.. Hahaha)..

Nak masak nasi lemak je pun..

Tapi esok nak cuba masak complete nasi lemak + fried chicken..

I'll post the picture later ye..

I decided to use this resepi.. http://idaddapur.blogspot.jp/2012/02/nasi-lemak-daun-pisang.html?m=1

Sebab kakak ni guna beras jepun..

Duduk di bumi sakura ni, i memang malas nak makan beras lain.. (Psssstt: actually sbb beras thailand and basmathi mahal.. ;p)

Jadi kita tunggu.. Anyway, i really hope the nasi lemak will turns out right sbb konon2nya nak bagi kat labmate.. Nak bagi Eri-chan rasa nasi lemak.. Kesian aku tengok budak ni, keje siang malam kat lab.. Jadi, nak share somethingla..

Owh ye aritu bagi kat So-chan, spaghetthi ni...

Awat x leh upload gambar pulak ni??? 

And beberapa minggu lepas, aku teringin sangat nak makan "chewy cheezy" kat KFC tu, maka aku buat le sendiri seperti di bawah ni...

CUTE x??? hahaha...

Oklah.. Till next time.. XOXOXO
and some ふゆ pictures ya..

My Passions - DNA, RNA, Molecular Biology, Genetics etc...

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Beneficent...

"living beings are the creation of SUPREME intelligence"...

even the smallest being i.e. a bacteria was PROVED to be the most complicated..

I'm actually in the middle of an experiment... hahaha.. take 5 min 20 min for blogging =P

When I was in my 3rd year of bachelor degrees, back in year 2008, I have always fascinated with the explanation on DNA, RNA and others related to molecular biology and Genetics.

Now, I'm in the middle of doing some research on it.
I'm so happy and I would love to share some of my findings with you.

Do check this blog out if you are interested in such studies.

Owh, it's snowing heavily in Hakodate...

hahaha.. my first time!!!!
