My baby! Part 1

She was born at 2.56pm on 31st January 2002 weighing 2.72 kg. I was in labour for 18 hours after being induced twice. I can’t even begin to describe the pain! If my belly were to be slashed over and over again by the sharpest scalpel, then that could be it. She was my own little miracle, a gift from god. Only those closest to me were privy to the difficulty I had to face to conceive and finally carry her for 34 weeks. But all that was well worth it. To see her growing everyday, to watch her mischievous and funny antics whilst discovering the world and to actually learn some new things together with her, is definitely something I would never trade for anything else…ever!

Her first word was of course mama! Her bathing equipment had ranged from periuk to the sink to baldi and to mini pool. I find that everyone who has ever babysat her at one point of time would normally favour her even until now. It’s not fair I know, but who wouldn’t want their child to be the favourite one kan?

She’s the product of mixtures of genes. All the blood of mamak, Indian, Chinese, Turkish, Javanese, bugis, baba nyonya and malay combined giving life to her! The moment I stepped out from the house with her, I have yet to encounter days without having someone come up to me and compliment on her looks. It made me glow with pride but it made my dearest collecting ‘rotan’ for future beating of boys hounding our lives to date her!

When she first discovered the word ‘kakak’ at the tender age of two, she insisted we called her ‘kakak’. There was one time in the car, we were talking about her, when suddenly from the back comes this small voice stating ‘kakaklah’! She loves to sing! Now at the age of 5, her knowledge of the latest pop singers surpassed even mine! I can only imagine what the future would hold!! Among our prized possessions are the tapes we made of her singing when she first learned to talk. And boy, can she talk! The only time we see her stop talking was when she sleeps, even then, she always ‘mengigau’ in her sleep!

Oh and she's smart too. She was at the top of her class last year and the teachers actually gave her a party. See what I told you about favouritism?? I even received a call from the teacher late last year asking whether she's coming back to the school this year simply because some of the boys will only go to the same school if she is also going! Hoh! I should ask for an advertisement fee...shish!

I could go on and on talking about her but for now, this will do.

She’s my pride and joy! She’s the product of eternal love! She’s my cheeky bom bom!

Simplicity is more!

You are feeling grumpy, hot and sticky! Mad at everything and everyone...

Sitting on the settee, you look at each other!

Then out of the blue, he said 'God, you're beautiful! I love you!'

Suddenly your world is right again *-*

Sigh!

Football fever

OK, I know that it’s been all makan bola, tidur bola, minum bola these past weeks. Everything else has been forced to play second fiddle including AF5. That’s right folks, even the great grandmother of all reality TV shows, at least for most teenagerslah, had to take the back seat to 22 men and one little ball.

Have you ever witnessed your office mates walking into the office with their eyes looking as square as your TV set? Or perhaps, when you greet them, the first thing they said was goal morning? Or how about when someone starts to annoy you, do you suddenly have the urge to pull out a red card and yell, ‘you’re off!’? Well, if you have, then you and your buddies are probably suffering from an acute FA cup or Euro or Champions League or English League Fever.

Anywhere you turn now, you will hear the names of Thierry Henry, Wayne Rooney, David Beckham, Raul and Ronaldo. Walk down any street and I guarantee you that you’ll bump into someone wearing a football jersey. And if you think you’re safe if you stay home and just watch TV, think again, football has invaded every single channel. Even the latest HBO ads are football-driven! You can’t escape it.

But with that said, I have to admit that I’m not the biggest footie fan on the planet. Some of the football fanatics I know can spit out obscure facts like when Canada last played in the World Cup or when the next England match is. It’s mind blowing how easily they can remember these facts but cannot recall their wives’ birthdays!!

So why bring this topic up?

Because I’m still upset having loose out to my dearest during our wrestling session for the TV remote last Saturday nite thus missing Ebi’s performance!! Sob!

p/s I have to admit though, it is kinda fun to watch the knowing looks that passed between sleep-deprived commuters.

Ahead....

We are babysitting a friends’ parrot for the week. Beautiful thing has got no name , it cannot speak but it purrs when you stroke its neck but yet cheeky bom bom is going crazy over it. She has trouble waking up
in the morning but since the existence of the bird, she’s up and running by 7 am. By the way she calls the parrot ‘McCall’….. maybe she heard the word Macaw on Discovery. I’ve had my share of many pet animals whilst growing up but with the arrival of this bird, whose exact species I did not catch coz I was too bloody sleepy when it arrived last night, it is a confirmed fact that I can only tolerate cats!! I find cats friendlier, more approachable, cuddlier and cuter. Shoot, I have to remember to keep the cats away from the bird...kalau tak habislah!

Home front, my dad’s birthday is coming up next week. I’ve asked one of my sisters to play PI and find out what his heart desires. She smsed me that most likely dad would love a treadmill. Hoh! I would like a treadmill too….You think money grows on tree issit??? She texted me few hours later to say that maybe he would like a coffee machine instead. Ah! Much better! Moving lower in size and value. I still have many unopened wedding gifts that may contain a coffee machine….muahaha*devilish laugh* Not an espresso machine lah….. Keep the info coming dear sis, I’m still hoping that you will hit the jackpot with my all time favourite gift, a book!

That reminds me, mum wants me to rekki locations for his birthday dinner celebration next Saturday….aww mum….

Being the health conscious man that he is and a fussy eater to boot, it is a bit of a task to find the exact place that would appeal to him. I’m stuck with steamboats…apa lagi eh? Lemme know if you have any suggestion eh.

Btw, I know some of you are Perakians. Do you know that our dear Prince Nazrin is getting married this 17th May at Istana Kuala Kangsar? Pheww, finally eh? More details later…

Work wise, tomorrow is my big date with the industry. I can’t wait *rubbing hands in glee with sinister gleam in the eyes*!! Siaplah kau....

And the plot begins...

The world is full of shit!!!

When we heard the stupid navy guys’ side of the story soon as they were released by the Iranian, my dearest actually predicted that Iran will showcase a video that will contradict what the navy boys were saying.

True enough!!!

Served them right! Now the whole world is exposed to what kind of liars the British are and the Muslims are not as gullible and stupid as they like to think we are… the west will realize that God’s religion was spread from the Arabian land first because the Arabs needed help most…not Asians or Europeans, the Arabs can’t see eye to eye which was great for the west to control the oil, oil was a gift from god to the Arabs unfortunately they would have preferred ‘Brains’ and last but not least IRANIANS ARE NOT ARABS….THEY ARE PERSIANS…. Among the smartest people on earth…. Take that British Yobs! If you’ve watched the movie 300 the Persians were the ones conquering the world ….unfortunately the Spartans were better warriors….but still stupid Europeans …anyone with a name like Koskas Pontupulouspulous will always sound stupid.

Never relate Islam to the Arab……Islam is a religion, Arab is a race. A religion can never be underestimated but a race will never be perfect.

Padan muka kau!! I really can’t wait to see how this saga will end!!

Unspeakable act!

I’m boiling mad!!!!!!!

In my line of work, I’m required to deal with as many people as I can to get the truest picture in order to help me regulate the industry. It never crosses my mind that one of these people would turn out to be a pervert. It’s practically unheard of and I must be insane to even think about it. But I guess human being human, there will always be a spoiler no matter in which line you are…however prestigious your institution may be, how brilliant you are, how professional you are supposed to be and how distinguished you are. Its shows how gullible I am when it comes to take people at face value!

What happened????

It was supposed to be an innocent chatting among colleague to ‘gali’ his head to my advantage. Somehow or rather, the tread of conversation changed to something that I can only likened to being sexually harassed. The fucker actually dumb fucked my mind and started talking about the size of his ‘package’ and whether I can guess the size of it…etc. To hold his job he’d sure need a brain. By listening to his conversation he must be thinking with his ‘other head’ Now this was a major case of ‘Dick Head’ , if he’s using his dick head more than his brain, it should be as big as a melon…..and believe me , I would have noticed. Nobody walks around the office like there’s a bowling ball hung between the legs.

WTF!!!

Never once did I say anything to encourage this appalling thought. How the hell did a business talk turned into sex talk just boggle the mind? Believe me, my normal conversation vocabulary contains no such colorful language that I used here. It’s all very business like!!

I saved the conversation and showed to my other colleague…

Me: Look at this!
Them: Oh, we’ve heard of him. Yup he’s crazy. No need to layan him.
Me: CRAZY??? Are you guys’ blind??? This is not simply crazy. How many people have fallen victim to this??
Them: Too many times but we just ignored it.
Me: If you have been ignoring it, no wonder he’s happily broadcasting his extra-curricular activities freely. I’m gonna save this and if he ever does it again, siaplah engkau, I’m not gonna be some innocent pawn in this game. I’ll go straight to the management.

It got me thinking that if this shocking behavior got ignored in one department, how many sleazy characters were ‘protected’ thus making them invincible out there????

Are there lots of powerful people with such attitude????

Bill Clinton got away with it…..If Hillary gets to be President, she could do the same and not be found guilty……..but that’s called Double Jeopardy

Are our ministers like that???? Are our Mufti’s like that???? Are our teachers like that??? Would I be offended as much if I was a man and the other party is a woman??? When is too much…. too much???

The answer is YES there will always be such yoyos as long as we keep quiet.

Silence from a wife of a child molester, silence from a wife of a woman beater, silence from you knowing something is wrong… its all relative. Make a change…… Let it be known (pls refer to my article about the ‘groper’ on the commuter).

Together we CAN make a change.

To that ugly stupid limp dick, sod of!! Is your self esteem so low that you had to resort to this to make yourself 'bigger'?? Stupid cow!

Never cross a Scorpio’s wrath!! I can get ugly!! You’ve been warned!!

Close encounter

Woohoo, I’m somersaulting with ecstasy, singing with joy, bursting with happiness, feeling like I want to kiss everything and everyone.

The verdict is finally in! No one from my department will be sent out due to shortage of staffs. Yeeeehaaaa!

Lega gila...

Scary Mary

This week is not a good week for everyone in my department. Everyone has been on their toes and double checking their work ever so carefully making sure no mistake is being made. So what's going on that makes everyone heart started drumming every time the biggie boss called anyone of us into her room?

In May, we are launching our 'One Stop Financial Centre' and the project manager has asked all departments to give one staff who is an expert in their field to be stationed at the centre. You probably would think that it’s a good career opportunity to be chosen thus regarded as skilled staff. But the truth is, everyone dreads going to the new place as it’s probably gonna be just like any other tele-centre where there is no if not little room for promotion and recognition. Your career would probably plummet to ground zero screeched to a halt. Dammit, whoever thought of the project should be shot dead. Why can’t they just leave such centre being operated by players in the industry? Why the motherboard has to adopt similar approach. It’s not enough that we are overseeing the whole thing but now we’re providing services which rightly so should be helmed by others.

Aku sepak kang…

Dance anyone?

Have you ever heard of ‘Latino aerobic’? Well, it is a dance cum aerobic workout which apparently has been making rounds in Malaysia for the past 8 years but this is the first time I have ever heard of it. Coerced by my friends, we raided our local (yes, that tempat jin bertendang!) dance workshop to try out this un-traditional aerobic workout. We were introduced to fun cool steps which incorporated the latin dance moves such cha cha, bolero and salsa. Believe me, it burned more calories than the normal aerobic or treadmill session.

Of course being the spastic that I am, it took me a while to learn the steps. After the 1000th mistakes, my brain finally decided to wake up and knock some sense to my head which is to stop and observe before I made further fool out of myself. I put it down to sheer luck on my part that my fellow exercise mates were concentrating hard on their dance moves not to notice that they have a retard amongst them!!

At the end of the lesson, being the good business minded and sympathetic person, the instructor formally welcome us to the class and encouraged us by saying we were quick in picking up the dance moves. Oh well, I’m sure I could almost hear he added under his breath ‘2 out of 3 was okay’. Bah…humbug!

Hell, wait till my next class!! Tengoklah nanti….

Something to ponder...

Great minds talk about ideas...Average minds talk about events...Small minds talk about people...

And you are.....?

The art of kissing ! I like....

A kiss on the lips is probably going to be the first intimate thing that you do with your partner. Kisses on the cheek are a commonplace (not for us Muslim of coz..) greeting between friends and family, but a kiss on the lips is something that's generally reserved for lovers.

After the genitals, the lips are the most sensitive part of the body. They're full of nerve ending and can give and receive hours of pleasure.

Some couples seem to fit together well and kissing immediately feels perfect between them. Others have to work at it, and it's one of those activities that's often hard to encapsulate easily in words so becoming a better kisser is often a case of trial and error.

The key to perfect kissing is to start gently and explore. If your partner reciprocates then, continues, if they draw back, then do something else. Here are some popular techniques (whatever works for you...):

French Kissing
Start by gently exploring your partner's lips with your tongue and as the open up, gradually increase the depth and urgency of your exploration.

Nibble Kisses
You have to be very, very gentle with this one. Gently caress your partner's lips and tongue with little bites.

Chicken Kisses
This is when you gently peck your lover over and over again. As well as being sensual it can also be ticklish and stimulating.

Suction Kisses
Suck on your partner's lips or tongue, or even teasingly draw their breath through your mouth.

Teasing Kisses
Gently and teasingly kiss your partner on the cheeks, the chin, the eyelids, the nose-in fact anywhere but the mouth. It'll only be a matter of time before they pull you to their lips.

Remember kissing isn't just for lips. Being kissed all over can be wonderfully intimate and playful way of moving from romance to seduction.

P.S: To ensure you're kissable, keep your lips soft and smooth; always ensure your teeth are clean and your breath is fresh.

Life like it is...

These past few weeks have been quite hectic for me, work wise. With the completion of our Annual Report last week, playing host to the Global Islamic Financial Forum (GIFF) at KLCC Convention Centre this week and the industry’s upcoming dialog session in the 1st quarter of next month, one would think that I would probably have my pillow and blankie ready in the office. But no such thing happened. It all boils down to good management, prioritizing and delegation. Life need not be so hectic and stressful!!

The GIFF received good response with almost 2000 participants from all over the world representing various organizations. The event was officiated by Pak Lah accompanied by Raja Nazrin with Mahadzir Lokman emceeing adding a bit of glamour to the forum. The forum was such a grand affair enabling me to rub shoulders with just about any Malaysian Corporate figures that you can think of.

Although some sessions can be quite long winded at times but with this forum, I have finally established and firmed up my position in the financial industry.

For that I am glad and thank Allah for his blessings. I am also thankful that life is quite a breezy affair nowadays enough to enable me to blog at least once a week if not every day. Life is good, no?

3 Divas Concert!

When 3 Divas performed on stage together, one would expect goose bumps all the way! But sadly not for me!! Of course they were stupendous and no doubt deserved to be called Divas but to put them on the same stage together, there was no aura so to say. TT covered the high notes, Kris the mid-range and Ruth was singing the lower key. They all sounded well together but it was more like an acapella group rather than 3 powerful Divas. The audience was robbed of their diverse and superb voices. I would have preferred them comparing or dog-fighting their diverse vocal talents. Plus the musical ensemble “Persona Malaysia” led by the talented Bapak Erwin Guttawa, although was gila babi best, but too overpowering at times drowning the Divas voices.

When the 3 Divas performed, you also expected the stadium to be a full house but sadly no. It was not crowded at all that we were able to upgrade our tickets and the organizer actually had to slash the ticket pricing to more than 50% to lure the crowd which sadly again didn’t work. This is one grand concert that I’m pretty sure did not reap any if not little profit.

Don’t get me started on our own home grown talents who performed that night too. For Nurul, it was obvious that it was likely a favour done by an old friend of her ex-hubby. She did come across as a divorcee trying hard to revive her dying career. It didn’t help that she looks a tad like Naomi Campbell before the community service of course . As for Dayang, the girl who actually lost out to a 16 year old girl, was given a jolt of confidence by the Divas or was this really good marketing from her record label. And err… whatchamacallit….Noryn Aziz??? Who ??? Liza Aziz I know lah, infact Liza would give the Divas a run for their money!! Don’t get me wrong, they are talented but I feel that they should not have lowered their status by performing with the Divas coz in comparison, it made them look amateurish!!! But to think of it, as they say in show business, any publicity is good publicity

There was a tribute segment where the Divas sang songs by Sheila Majid and Siti Nurhaliza. Ironic when Kris sang Lagenda as a tribute to Sheila who sang the song as a tribute to P. Ramlee. So, who are they toasting the song to again?? They actually focused Siti on the BIG screen. Sitting next to her was her new groom…. The teenage basher himself. Datuk K ickboxing! Was he concentrating on the concert or was he trying to think of an answer for the judge. Its ironic that to solve his sons drug problem, one should beat up the neighbour’s kid. Wasn’t it his kids pictured plastered on the internet with a Vodka Martini in his hands…..the boy has upgraded lah!

In all, it was a fantastic night and btw, my dearest said that I look like Titi Dj….hehe….ye ke??? Kembang siooot Minus the nose of course…

Good news! Pineapple Event Management will bring in Beyonce i.e Bouncy next….. this time buy your tickets at the last minute!!

Knight in shining armour anyone?

Last Friday, as I was enjoying the unusual smooth ride home, one policeman suddenly stopped the traffic flow. The reason? Because there was a young boy wanting to cross the road and there was neither traffic light nor a bridge in sight. And this alert policeman (I guess on his way back home too) upon noticing this boy’s predicament, took unto his lawful hand to stop his journey and help out another being. To some of you, you might think why the heck am I highlighting such an insignificant event. He’s just doing his job…right… But the truth is, it is quite uncommon to see a simple deed of help by a complete stranger. I have seen such instances as I’ve mentioned before in my blog, those unselfish acts en route my commuter trips.

In the harsh reality we call ‘today’s world’, it’s hard to find someone who does something without having an ulterior motive. Some say that selfless individuals are a dying breed but I can’t bring myself to believe that. There has to be good people out there. They may be a little harder to find nowadays, but I have faith that they’re out there and some day, we will cross path. That’s why whenever we do cross paths; I will take the opportunity to tell their story.

After all, you can talk the TALK, BUT can you walk the WALK? Or you’re just another one that only TALK C**K!!

It’s befitting that this weekend we celebrate Police Day! Kudos to the Police Officer the other day…….hell, I miss the ‘Bobby of Scotland Yard’!

Are you sleeping brother john?

Lack of sleep can alter a person’s mood in the blink of eyes. Realizing this, I was determining to sleep early yesterday hence by 8.00 p.m; I was already sitting in my bed flipping the channels.

I thought I was going to be on TV last night after I caught a TV reporter aiming his lens at me during an event at my office yesterday. So I waited till the news ended, takdepun. So there goes my chance of 15 seconds glory. I was about to turn off the TV when this show called 6 degrees came on.

In this hour-long drama from the producers of "Lost" and "Alias," six very different New Yorkers go about their lives without realizing the impact they're having on one another - yet. A mysterious web of coincidences will gradually draw these people closer...

Six degrees of separation refers to the idea that, we are all no more than six degrees of separation from each other. They say that anyone on the planet can be connected to any other person through a chain of six people, which means that no one is a stranger... for long.

So is it possible to locate a man, given only his photograph and first name only?

A UK game company is testing the power of the Internet by asking that question. They have recruited one of Earth’s 6 billion residents — a man named Satoshi — to participate in this experiment.

“We are each only five to seven people away from any target in the world. Someone, somewhere, knows Satoshi — so we must track down these people, and thus Satoshi, using word-of-mouth communication. People from over 40 countries are already participating in the hunt, with more joining every day.

Coolkan? To think that the possibility of what separates me from Brad Pitt are merely 6 people? *devilish laugh*

Then after that, I thought I can finally rest! So I flipped the channel to 8TV for my last browse when suddenly this very captivating show came on. DAMN!!!!!

Teman is 8TV’s new show and it is a blend of reality TV, travelogue and skin care. Yes, you read that right, skin care. The show concerns two friends – Mimi Rahzia and Belinda Chee – as they travel around Peninsular Malaysia and indulge in the activities offered at the places they visit. There is a fair bit of drama involved as the girls find themselves go from one destination to another. They will also be sharing some travel tips along the way and one recommended product will stand out more than anything else – the new Olay White Radiance Intensive Whitening Cream (the sponsor, of curse!). Btw, the girls are also armed with a video camera and a laptop and they will be blogging their activities.

So I hang on and stayed awake for another 30 mins to watch the show.

By the time it ended, it was already 10 p.m. But another show came on that got me hook. FUCK IT!

It was a mini-series aptly titled ‘touching evil’. Memang evil betul……it made me lose my beauty sleep. Anyway, it was about a man returning from a year-long psychological leave of abscence after surviving an almost-fatal gun shut wound to the head and is assigned to the FBI's new Organized and Serial Crime Unit (OSCU). Its quite interesting because he actually lost part of his brain and went clinically mental for a while and when he came back was virtually shameless as a result of his brain injury.

So don't bother calling me today, Im feeling sleepy and grumpy! Harmphhh

Another week gone by...

SO SIAPA KATA TAKDE BENDA NAK BUAT KAT KL DURING WEEKEND? BANYAK APE....

BTW, KALAU TAKDE BENDE SANGAT NAK BUAT, GO CATCH MUKHSIN AND 300....BEST SIOT!

Who am I?

SCORPIO:

Who keeps an arrow in her bow,
And if you prod, she lets it go?
A fervent friend,a subtle foe - SCORPIO

A fixed Water sign and the most powerful of all the signs, eighth zodiac Scorpio represents transformation. Scorpios are dynamic, mysterious, intuitive, intriguing and exciting. They hold a magnetic intensity and hypnotic personality under their calm and composed exterior. Scorpios possess penetrating eyes which makes their shyer companions feel naked and defenseless before them. Determined and forceful. Emotional, powerful and passionate.

Scorpio at Work
Scorpio employees usually exude a quiet self-confidence. They are self-sufficient and do not depend on others for a sense of self-worth. They keep their private life separate from work. Scorpio employees take complete responsibility for their actions and their situation. Those who don't do the same will have to endure the Scorpio wrath. And if you tread on their fire be sure to expect retaliation. They won't take insults or opposition lying down.

My 2-cents: And my ex-boss is feeling the pressure now! Tulah, buat lagi...kan dah kena!

Scorpio in Love
The symbol of sex, Scorpios are passionate lovers, the most sensually energetic of all the signs. They live hard and love hard, and give their hearts fully and unconditionally. Woe be the one to break Scorpio's heart! There will be a price, the sting of this scorpion can be deadly! The sex addict, EXTREMELY sexy. Intelligent. Energetic. Predict future. Most erotic. GREAT kisser. Always get what they want. Sexy. Attractive. Easy going. Loves being in long relationships. Talkative. The sexiest ever. Romantic. Caring.
My 2-cents: Sorry my dearest, you are in for a long haul. There is no escape!

On the dark side....Jealous and resentful. Compulsive and obsessive. Secretive and obstinate

WTF! Betul kot....

Is this the right one for me?

Few weeks ago, looking at the almost empty bottle of my favourite perfume, along with the many changes in my life, I felt that maybe it was time for me to try out different brand of perfume. Short of going to all the perfume counters, spray my wrist and wait for comments, taking a short cut, I emailed to all my dearest friends asking them to vouch for some perfumes and I received various suggestions which in the end confuses me even further.

I read once that if you have a certain personality type, such and such fragrance group is for you. Bullocks to that, I say. for me its quite easy, if the frangrance you choose should uplift, excite, warm and most of all, make you happy, then by all mean, you have found your perfume.

My first signature scent was The Body Shop's Strawberry EDT. That was way back in school of course, masa zaman semua nak sweet-sweet..hehe

Then I graduated to Mark & Spencer's body spray during college days.

Then as I grew older, having earned my own money and developed my own personality, I have decided to go for perfume that is strong, seductive, sophisticated and fresh with a tinge of oriental smell.

So back to my dilemma, after going through the list of recommended perfumes, I have decided to stick with my old perfume brands which are either from E.L or Dior which I feel best represent my individuality.

So have you found yours yet? If you have not, try this website http://www.sephora.com/. It may be of help to you...

Shhh...a secret!

I have a secret!!! And I'm about to indulge it here!! So it's gonna be our little secret...shhhh

I'm a biter! Up to couple of weeks ago, I still chew my nails as short as my nails allow my teeth to gnaw upon. I can't remember how it started but I remembered the many ways I tried to break this bad habit..

1. Applying cutex - I think I've swallowed enough cutex that if I squeeze my intestines hard enough, I prolly don't have to buy anymore nail polish.

2. Stopped watching nail-biting induced movies - nope, that didn't work either. Tear jerking movies can make me resort biting my nails too. Come to think of it, I prolly would have to stop watching TV altogether and come to think of that again, I should prolly just stay at home, never set my foot outside again and die an old spinster coz it seems, just about any excitement, horror, anxiousness...etc, unconsciously, my fingers will find my mouth.

Now, all that has to change! Why? I caught my cheeky bom bom biting her nails!! Oh man…like mother like daughter and what goes around comes around kinda thingy? Is it genetic or was it something that she picked from watching me?

Well, that spurned me into action! I’ve decided to stop biting my nails and it has been 17 days and 6 hours since I had my last bite and am still counting till the day I can finally say I was a biter…wish me luck!

p/s I finally had nails long enough to enjoy manicure..hehe

hail to handphones

I realize I’m supposed to be over it, but I still think having a cell phone is cool. I know: gadget-wise it’s a little passé. It’s not a palm pilot or a Playstation 2 or some kind of new and expensive portable MP3 Player. But, boy, it sure is cool that you can actually talk to people on that little thing!

I try to be businesslike. I don’t makes calls for no reason. I mean, if you call someone from in front of their house instead of ringing the doorbell, that’s not calling for no reason. You’re avoiding the trouble of getting out of the car. That’s not geekiness, it’s laziness. Right?

I admit to a secret thrill every time my cell phone rings. It’s the same excitement I used to feel every time I got an email, back before the Internet turned to crap. When I got my cell phone I didn’t give out the number, because I didn’t want it going off all the time. Now I wish it’d go off more often, just so I could hear that magical ring (ascending ringing option, volume three, ringing tone "polite", vibration on).

And, even though it never rings, how am I supposed to resist fiddling with it? My cell phone has so many parameters and options and variables. It’s got a battery and a little screen and menus and submenus… it needs to be optimized! What am I supposed to do? Ignore all that technology? That seems irresponsible. Possibly dangerous!

There’s a game on my cell phone but it’s almost redundant. Sure, I’ve played Snake, but it’s more fun to fiddle with the rings (maybe I should try beep once ringing option, volume 4, ringing tone "persuasion", vibration off), or make sure the keyguard is on or, yes, call home and check my messages. Or I could go buy one of those earpiece microphones, so people wouldn’t know whether I was talking to them or on the phone. Fun!

Sociologists have worried that technology will turn us into a society of recluses, glued to our TV sets and our home computers. But I don’t think they have to worry. No matter how seductive big-screen TVs and home entertainment systems become in the future, people are always going to leave home from time to time. How else will they play with their cell phones?

Welll? What are you waiting for? Haven't I given you enough hints! Start calling me!

To whom it may concerned...

Ya, mintak ampun beribu ampun sembah patik harap diampun. Sesungguhnya patik memang telah mencemar duli kerana tidak meng'updatekan' blog ini untuk santapan tuan hamba....ha! ambik kau!!!

Dah dah jgn nak emo lebih2 sebab aku takde masa nak berblogging sekarang. Pi baca blog lain, pi...

Btw, thanks for asking. My FIL is doing very well and going home this week. The rest? Laterlah, penat aa... another week gone without me taking a break and put up my feet..sigh!

For CBN we love you.

Pre-op weekend

FIL decided to have kenduri last weekend prior to his by pass op scheduled on Wednesday. He may not admit to it but I’m pretty sure that he is intimidated by the looming date with the doc despite saying that he's feeling extra good for God has granted him another chance in life. The truth is, who wouldn't feel a bit of fear knowing that you are about to go for an open heart surgery..eh takut siot. I’m sure it’s the same feeling a mother may has if knowing she has to go for a C-section.

We decided to serve our guests his favourite food, nasi ambeng, a dish introduced by the Arabs but perfected by the Javanese…so he says : D

On top of the busy preparation, we still managed to squeeze in time for MPH’s warehouse sale, Ikea’s sale and a birthday party get together.

Looking back at my previous blog entrees…bila masa aku rest ni? Patutlah penat semacam…now I just need to find time for some spa and hair treatment sessions…crap!!
