Introverts, Assemble!

Assalamualaikum..

Hello everyone. I know I promised a post about my journey to Melbourne before this. But hey, I found something interesting and I thought to share it with you guys. I hope these help you to understand these type of people. People like... umm well, people like ME! Okay don't waste any time. Let's read.

10 MYTHS ABOUT INTROVERTS BY CARL KING

Myth #1 : Introverts don’t like to talk.
This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.


Myth #2 : Introverts are shy.
Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite.


Myth #3 : Introverts are rude.
Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting.


Myth #4 : Introverts don’t like people.
On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you’re in.


Myth #5 : Introverts don’t like to go out in public.
Nonsense. Introverts just don’t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities. They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don’t need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to go home, recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial for Introverts.


Myth #6 : Introverts always want to be alone.
Introverts are perfectly comfortable with their own thoughts. They think a lot. They daydream. They like to have problems to work on, puzzles to solve. But they can also get incredibly lonely if they don’t have anyone to share their discoveries with. They crave an authentic and sincere connection with ONE PERSON at a time.


Myth #7 : Introverts are weird.
Introverts are often individualists. They don’t follow the crowd. They’d prefer to be valued for their novel ways of living. They think for themselves and because of that, they often challenge the norm. They don’t make most decisions based on what is popular or trendy.


Myth #8 : Introverts are aloof nerds.
Introverts are people who primarily look inward, paying close attention to their thoughts and emotions. It’s not that they are incapable of paying attention to what is going on around them, it’s just that their inner world is much more stimulating and rewarding to them.


Myth #9 : Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun.
Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public places. Introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. If there is too much talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine. Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways. Just look it up.


Myth #10 : Introverts can fix themselves and become Extroverts.
A world without Introverts would be a world with few scientists, musicians, artists, poets, filmmakers, doctors, mathematicians, writers, and philosophers. That being said, there are still plenty of techniques an Extrovert can learn in order to interact with Introverts. (Yes, I reversed these two terms on purpose to show you how biased our society is.) Introverts cannot “fix themselves” and deserve respect for their natural temperament and contributions to the human race. In fact, one study (Silverman, 1986) showed that the percentage of Introverts increases with IQ.

Well, I hope you guys understand these kind of people. Ummm.. the people like ME!

O.N.D.A.K.E.Y.B.O.A.R.D.
I'm an introvert, and I'm proud of it. Eh.

Wanderer of Time

Posted by Mars Laini at 11:55 PM 0 comments
I've become a wanderer
Of this place
Serene and peaceful
The place that people claimed
To be lost forever

I've become a wanderer
Of the place where the time has stopped
Yet, the melody still there
Soft, tinkle
Please let it last, eternally

Walking alone through the bare branches of trees
The whiteness of the snow emerges
On my path
I'm alone but yet
I'm not lonely at all

A gentle drops of light fall
Reflected in my eyes
Is the calming silver moonlight
Lost in the time, lost in the moment
What I seek is just a happy answer

At the end of the dream
I only wished for that
Even if I have to wander alone
Throughout the time

The Raya 2015

Posted by Mars Laini at 10:37 PM 0 comments
Assalamualaikum..

Masih lagi dalam bulan Syawal dan ada lagi yang masih menyambut Aidilfitri serta berkunjung ke ruma-rumah terbuka saudara mara dan kawan-kawan bagi mengeratkan silaturahim. Post kali ni aku rasa nak cerita pasal suasana raya tahun ni hoihoi.

Serius nak kata, aku rasa hambar sikit raya tahun ni. Tak tahu kenapa. Rasa first tu pun dah rasa nak sambung tidur, kah! Mungkin sebab tak ramai orang datang rumah dan konvoi raya seperti tahun-tahun lepas tak berjalan. Masing-masing dah busy. Ada yang raya kedua ketiga dah kena kerja balik, pergi kelas balik. Plus mungkin bila umur dah meningkat ni suasana raya dia lain kot. 

Dalam seminggu lepas raya tu baru bebudak ni buat open house semua. Bebudak tu means kengkawan aku la. Kenduri kendara kawan mak ayah aku pon banyak lepas tu. Ada sampai satu minggu tu direct aku pergi kenduri dengan open house. Pehh alhamdulillah makan free :D

Peneman umi pergi kenduri selalunya aku la sebab adik-adik aku yang lain jenis malas nak keluar rumah. Terperap je tengok tv. Tahun ni dialog makcik-makcik tu lain sikit. Tahun lepas diorang tanya aku tingkatan berapa kahkah! (sebab makcik tu kata aku ni rendah), sekolah kat mana (sekolah uni makcik *sengih*). Tahun ni diorang tanya umur berapa, tahun berapa, dah ade orang ke (ehem). Sebetulnya aku kalo pergi kenduri takdelah nak cakap banyak. Sekadar teman umi & makan pastu diam (sebab rasa tak elok nak jampuk cakap orang tua). Tapi aku respon je kalo makcik makcik tersebut tanya pape. Takdelah sombong giteww.

Open house kengkawan pun banyak. Open house memula rumah meknik dia masak nasi ayam khas untuk kitorang je sebab dia tak panggil orang lain. Kira kawan rapat dia jela. Dah pas dah masak nasi ayam tu dah boleh kahwin dah meknik oi haha (ehh). Esoknya rumah mizah, classmate masa sekolah menengah dulu. Kengkawan kelas dulu pon ada datang rumah dia kiranya macam mini reunion kitorang la. Sedap gilos mak dia masak laksa kemboja, dan paling best skali popia vietnam mak dia buat pehh!! 3 batang aku bantai sorang haha. Pastu bila naik atas penimbang mula nak meroyan. Sempat lagi mizah ni bergurau "mas ni rumah dekat je dengan rumah kita tapi tak pernah datang". hahaha memang la dah aku tak tahu rumah dia dekat ngan rumah aku. My bad >_<

Esoknya lagi rumah si balqis aka mekqis pulak. Geng The Chemicals best friend mesti kena pergi maka aku pergilah juga. Sama macam meknik, mekqis ni pon ajak kawan-kawan jiran-jiran orang dekat je. Cheesecake akak dia buat sedap amat tapi masuk haritu aku dah mula demam & selsema aku tak makan banyak sangat kat rumah dia. Naik ulcer kat lidah. Slow sikit aku melantak hari tu. 

Then the next week nya pulak rumah Im. Peh masa ni dah sihat maka aku melantak balik. Dah la im masak sedap-sedap. Banyak pula tu makanan dia buat. Laksa penang, laksa kelantan, mee/kuetiew sup, soto, sate, nasi impit, roti jala, kuzi. Dessert pula chocolate cheese cake, victoria sandwich cake, cocktail. 3 round aku bangun amik makanan haha, takleh beat kawan aku yang lain ade sampai 6 round! Makan makan makan sambil gosip gosip. Maklumlah yang lain pun ade si irna, meknab, mekqis, meknik pun ada sama. Makin menambah perasa gamaknya.

Mak si Im ni pon dah tanya gurau gurau giliran sape dulu naik pelamin tahun ni. Cehh bebudak ni bila sembang pasal kahwin, kencang! Hahaha. Masa salam nak balik dah tu, mak dia siap cakap "tahun depan datang berdua dengan orang lain lah pulak ye korang semua" hahaha yelah makcik. Kawan-kawan aku yang dah berpunya ni takpe insyaallah rezeki diorang ade la yang datang berdua raya tahun depan kihkih. Aku? Takpelah aku bagi kawan-kawan aku dulu. Nak kena abiskan degree ni dulu. Diri sendiri pon tak terurus cano ai nak urus anak orang lain hewhew. Ada rezeki, ada jodoh, ada lah tu.

Takat tu je last open house aku pergi. Pastu rasanya dah takde dah pasni semua pakat nak balik kerja dah. Tapi aku boleh cakap, mungkin tahun ni tahun last aku beraya as student degree (tahun depan mesti dah kerja), dan kalau rezeki sambung Master kat mana-mana insyaallah status jadi student balik. Hihi insyaallah ameen :)

O.N.D.A.K.E.Y.B.O.A.R.D.
di hari raya, terkenang daku kepada si dia, kampungku indah nun jauh disana, ayah serta bondaku :) selamat hari raya aildilfitri, maaf zahir dan batin.

Assalamualaikum..

Selamat hari raya aidilfitri maaf zahir dan batin aku ucapkan kepada seluruh umat Islam. Ketupat rendang kuih-muih jangan dilupa. Ewah macam dah menyanyi pulak hehe.

Harini terasa jemu sebab dah 3 hari duk makan makanan raya so aku amik keputusan untuk buat benda lain. Check dalam peti ada kentang lebih jamuan chicken chop kelmarin maka aku buat salad kentang simple gila punya.

Masa tengah duk rebus kentang tu papa pula tanya tengah buat apa.

Papa: nak buat apa rebus kentang ni?
Me: nak buat salad kentang sikit japgi
Papa: biru la mata tu jap lagi
Me: hah kenapa? (andaian kena penyakit ke apa)
Papa: yela dah makan potato, dah macam orang puteh dah

lulz sangat encik ayahanda aku ni maka aku tergelak disitu haha. apa pun resepi aku pakai ni sendiri tibai punya je.

Bahan:

1. Ubi kentang 2 biji
2. Mayonis
3. Serbuk black pepper
4. Serbuk white pepper
5. Garam halus secukup rasa

Cara:

1. Rebus kentang sampai masak (aku selalu rebus sampai air tu tinggal separuh)
2. Buang kulit kentang tu dan potong dadu 
3. Dalam sebiji mangkuk, gaulkan kentang dengan semua bahan lain tadi
4. Taraa dah siap :D

Kan dah kata ni resepi cincai je tapi cukuplah untuk bagi hilang muak makan benda sama je. Oh yeahh. Portion ni untuk 1-2 orang makan je. Kalau nak lebih pepandai korang lah tambah.

Enjoy!
