Gadis belasah peragut

KUALA LUMPUR 30 Sept. - Seorang peragut kecundang di tangan seorang gadis berusia 22 tahun semalam dalam cubaan meragut dompet mangsa.
Disebabkan keberanian gadis itu, penjenayah tersebut yang sempat dibelasah oleh gadis berkenaan berjaya ditangkap dengan bantuan orang ramai.
Kejadian berlaku kira-kira pukul 8.30 malam ketika mangsa, Dzil Falilah Abdul Rashid menunggu teman lelakinya di koridor kediamannya di Batu Caves Centrepoint di sini.
Dia yang bekerja sebagai pembantu pereka dalaman tiba-tiba didatangi seorang lelaki tidak dikenali.
Ketika ditemui Utusan Malaysia hari ini, gadis itu berkata, suspek tiba-tiba mencekik leher dan cuba meragut dompet dari genggamannya.
"Dia kemudian menendang serta menumbuk kepala dan paha saya. Saya pun membalas balik serangan itu sambil menjerit sekuat hati meminta tolong.
"Walaupun dompet itu hanya berisi RM10, saya bertindak melawan peragut itu kerana duit itu hasil titik peluh saya dan saya juga memang pantang dibuli," katanya yang lebam di kedua-dua lutut, paha dan kepala.
Menurutnya lagi, suspek kemudian melarikan diri ke motosikal yang terletak kira-kira 30 meter dari tempat kejadian tetapi dia bertindak mengejar lelaki itu.
"Saya tak sanggup melihat peragut itu terlepas begitu saja, jadi saya kejar dia dan terus menyerangnya. Peragut itu juga cuba menyelak baju kurung saya ketika kami bergelut kerana menyangka saya akan malu dan berhenti menyerangnya tetapi dia silap," ujarnya.
Dzil Falilah memberitahu, belum sempat suspek menghidupkan enjin motosikalnya, teman lelakinya tiba dan merempuh motosikal menyebabkan dia terjatuh.
"Ketika itulah orang ramai datang membantu menangkapnya sebelum polis tiba," jelasnya lagi.
Sementara itu, Ketua Polis Daerah Gombak, Asisten Komisioner Abdul Rahim Abdullah ketika dihubungi mengesahkan kejadian itu dan memuji keberanian gadis itu sehingga tertangkapnya suspek.
Katanya, lelaki berusia 20 tahun yang memiliki dua rekod jenayah curi dan dadah itu kini ditahan reman selama tujuh hari untuk disiasat sekiranya dia turut terlibat dalam jenayah lain.

HAHAHA! I'm so glad tht 1 of my FB friends posted ths to me. Ths article is worth sharing, dont u thnk so? hehe! Have a great October peeps!!!

Oooohhh Batang buruk...


Make sure tht one has cut the popiah skin into 4, 1 chopstick & eggwhite.


Use the chopstick to roll the popiah skin.

Make sure the chopstick & ur fingers are not wet.
This is the use of eggwhite.
Then, the frying begin...
Let them cool off for a few minutes.

Another essential is the blended peanut, wch can be purchased in Giant & Servey hypermarkets.



Mixed them.


Mixed them thoroughly...







Voila! Jemput makan :)







Nothing much to do on a Friday afternoon...so eldest sis decided to make Batang Buruk. I helped out wth the rolling though :) Mum, is the kuih makmur maker...but ths raya shez too lazy to make them..so no homemade makmur ths year...beli sajalah...
I have been on a full blast holiday mode ths 1 whole week... the unfinished dissertation is still at the corner of my so-called study table... shite! I've been eating ths whole week! I feel bloated to the max! But did I regret the time spent eating?? hehe! of course NOT! Raya doesnt come everyday eh :)
Went to JJ's hse for raya on Thurs...forgot to take pics of her yummilicious food, though...& NO, I didnt wear baju kurung ;)
Today, I'm going to spend my day watching the idiot box... mayb a quick visit to the massage parlour...my whole body is aching!
Peace out!

Eid Mubarak :)

Miss Mathew :"Can I wear my UMS baju kurung to ur house for raya?(smiling)"

Friends :"NOOOOOOOOO!!!"
Gee...thx! Ahaks! Tell me, whtz wrong wth tht particular baju kurung??? I've only worn it for 2 hours OK..so, I thought, itz a waste if I dont wear it again...it was given to me for free anyways... oh well...

Since half of the family were around, yesterday we visited dad... although it was scorching hot! we managed to complete 1 round of Rosary & sang dadz fav song. I felt guilty actually ystrdy...I didnt get to help out the rest to clean dadz compound, due to health reason... anywayz, I did feel helpless by juz sitting at 1 corner & watching everybody doing their part ;(

Today is Wednesday... to JJ's hse for raya tomorrow..cant wait!!! Ayam masak merah, here I come!!!

Pause????....Paws????

A polar bear walks into a bar and says, "Give me a scotch and . . . Coke."
"Why the long pause?" asks the bartender.
"I don't know," says the polar bear. "I've always had them."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HAHAHAHA! Ths is soooo funny! The day started off gloomy for me...I accidently woke up late AGAIN ths morning ;( thn, while having bfas, I read ths month's Reader's Digest, & voila! The day seems brighter frm whr m sitting right now :)

This week...

...has been really fast for me. I have started collecting data, via classroom observation & interviews. Hopefully by next week I can proceed wth the data analysis. BUT thrz a prob. I'm NOT confident to analyse them! Ok, I'll worry abt tht next week.

...my family received a call frm our relative who resides in Tambunan. Our uncle was admitted to Queen Elizabeth Hospital due to stroke. Tht was on the 7th sept, 09. Elder bro & mum visited uncle at the hospital tht same evening. The next day, eldest bro & eldest sis' turn. At 4.30pm, 09.09.09 we were informed tht uncle had passed away. So, eldest bro & I went to the hospital. My late uncle was dadz 3rd cousin. I remember uncle Jeffrine but I was never close to him. I do remember tht he was around whn dad passed away last year.
How did I feel being in the hospital again? It felt weird. I saw the morgue. I remember when dad was thr last year. It hurt. All the feelings I had last year on the day dad was pronounced dead, came crawling back.
When we were waiting for the body to be released, I was introduced to the uncles & aunties(uncle Jeff's siblings). They didnt remember me, bcs I was still a baby when their family moved. But uncle Jeff & his younger bro, used to visit us even aftr their family moved, so both of them, I remember. I eventually met my 4th cousins.


Mum insisted we attend the funeral in Tambunan. Hence, we were thr yesterday. The requiem mass went smoothly...& I met a few familiar faces. 1 of them used to be my former student. Now I knw, he is my cousin. The funny part was, so many ppl were confused on how both families are related! Well, thx to my Penampang greatgrandmum who got 'kidnapped' by a Tambunan chap, long long time ago :)


Honestly, I'm really glad tht I went for the funeral in Tambunan. The relationship between the 2 families will definitely continue...fingers crossed tht the 5th generation will keep in touch.

On the way back to Penampang, we stopped at TVRC. Eldest bro wanted mum to see the fish thr! Gosh! They were huge!

rm2.50 for a bag of fish food...we spent abt 5 bags!



As for now, I'm back to my routine. Oh! How I feel like eating ABC!!!! ;)
