Dear diary...

A lifetime:
What I am today is what I have learned and experienced over the years.

5 years ago:
I became a mummy and nothing gives me more pleasure that the sight of my own creation and sees her growing each day creating her own personality with our guidance. Oh and I was much much slimmer then…bummer

1 year ago:
I was in a shitty job that stress me out so much that my hair were falling out by the chunks. Thank god it all grew back and I said au revoir to the old spineless bugger aka ex-boss

Yesterday:
Received 2 exquisitely made telekung from mum who just came back from Jakarta and cheeky bom bom went gogo gaga over her new flowered hat

Today:
Due to work, I will have the chance of meeting the most eligible bachelor in town, Pak Lah…muahahaha

Tomorrow:
Tomorrow is Awal Muharram so with great pleasure, I wish all my muslim friends Happy New Year! I will be busy running around town preparing for the party which venue am still not confirm..crap!

Help is on the way....

Its hard for many Malaysians outside Johor to really understand the seriousness of the flood problem in the state. I for one, has many Johorean cousins but since none of them are affected in any way whatsoever, has no real grasp of the ongoings ‘cept doing my bit of donations organized by my company and mum’s social club. Else, like everyone else, i read about the situation and watched the images on tv but still unable to comprehend the magnitude of the destruction, cocooned in my own nest, spared by the heavy rain.

The reality is that the monster floods in Johor has become a national disaster. Death tolls may be very small but many thousands have been affected and rebuilding their lives will take time.

But one story send in by a reader of The Star, who shared the experiences of her flood stricken relatives, caught my attention. The villagers were starving but the abundant food being prepared in a neighbourhood hall was only for visiting VIPs. However, help came when you least expected it. There, most of the flood victims were Malays. But Chinese neighbours drove around to hand out bread, biscuits, drinking water and blankets. The local temple organised help, no distinction of race was made. When the water started to recede, Chinese doctors made free house calls. These people gave help from the heart with no reporters trailing them, no TV cameras to record their deeds.

Now, this is truly the stuff Bangsa Malaysia is made of…selfless, race and religion blind, good Samaritans abundance of Malaysian spirit!!

p/s last I heard, they dont need food but more blankets, pampers, tikars, tilam.....and such.

Hilarity to the point of absurdity!

I love British films with their black, quirky, subtle yet witty humour. Its the kind of comic that hits you after 10 secs of walking away and your head goes *ping*...'oh now i get it'..and you either go haha or say oh crap...

Not in random orders are 10 of British films that I never get tired of watching ...(there are more of course)

1. Wimbledon
2. Nottinghill
3. Love Actually
4. Bridget Jones Diary & the sequel
5. Shooting Fish
6. Four Weddings & A Funeral
7. Train Spotting
8. Fish Called Wanda & the sequel
9. Calendar Girls
10. Monty Phyton

What??? You have never watched any of them?? Well?? What are you waiting for then?? Go on...go and catch them right away and be prepared to laugh....but then again, you may not laugh...some people are just not gifted enough to understand their humour *grin*

Ke mana tumpahnya kuah.....

More on my durian mad cheeky bom bom! A neighbour bought some durian yesterday and she asked me if she can have some. I said no coz it was nearly dinnertime and dont want to spoil her appetite and off she went to sambung playing. 15 mins passed and I called out to her to get ready to follow me to tesco but she didn't answer. tengok kat luar takde, I yelled to the neighbour, if they had seen her and they pointed to the neighbour with the durian....yupp, there she was with a durian in her hand. I gestured to my cheeky bom bom whilst thanking wordlessly to my kind neighbour. And this what my daughter had to say for herself...

"I didn't ask for it, aunty just put in my hand. and said, takpe, satu je...tak mintakpun..."

Ha! Tu dia jawapan budak umur baru 5 tahun. So later that nite, we had no choice but to go and buy durian for her.....my dearest pointed out to me that wasn't it me who did the same when I was her age, making rounds to all my mum's friends so often that I know more on the ongoings in their lives than my mum!!!!! Double damn...what goes around comes around ke????

New life...

Saturday - Paid homage to one of my chummys who has just given birth to a beautiful baby boy...hehe...that was for your benefit 'f', now that i know you're a fan of my blog : D.........It was a great gossip session huh? Having said that, it was kinda nice to realise that our friendships still stand after all these times. With so many transitions in our lives from single party girls *grin* to working women to dutiful wives *snigger* to motherhood whilst juggling with careers, the running of our homes, hubbys, children, being daughters and daughters in law, being sisters to our siblings........and being good friends!!! : )

Anyway, since her house was just a block away from the Curve, we just had to drop by our fav hang out...IKEA! And again it was a big mistake what with Chinese New Year just around the corner...right and left people were snapping up the pussy willows which saw us dodging them at every corner rivalling Jonah Lomu.

In all, i have to say that that it has been '2 gluttony days' for us..., it was makan, makan and makan....nonstop!

My fri-day!

Last friday, E wanted to treat me and M for lunch at Chillis and a movie of our choice at TGV. No matter how we tried to stuff our face with the food sampai macam nak pecah perut but alas, we failed! I hope this will not haunt me come next puasa month bila perut tengah berkeroncong lapar...

We need not see the list of movies available coz no doubt Ashton Kutcher win hands down!! Yupp, it was The Guardian!!! Great combo = emo movie+goddamn gorgeous men in uniform!!!

I'm good!!!

Woohoo...guys, party is back on again!!! Managed to locate a college guy who has the music machine and he has offered it along with himself as a dj f.o.c!!! Aha, i knew i would find one at a price that won't burn a hole in my pocket...details of the party later kay........

Hi, Hi, Bye, Bye!

We just had the first (of many) departmental’s lunch to mark the start of our new division. You see, we just had a major realignment where people have been moved here and there, some to different floors and some even had to moved to another building altogether. No joke! Even the department’s name had to be changed to suit the new direction that we are moving towards.

Anyway, it has been an old tradition to have free breakfasts or lunches courtesy of proud parents of newborns, achievers, birthday boys/girls or whatever joyous occasions that the staffs wants to share with others. Departmental lunches are normally done via contribution of manylah...nanti kopak pulak kalau tak sharekan. Im glad to see that under the new dept, the same tradition is still alive!

Few weeks back we had the old dept’s farewell dinner held at a private golf club. And to everyone’s surprise (the old staffs), for all the years that they have been working together little did they realised that there are talented bunch of people working together under one roof. Yup, the whole nite’s entertainment, even the host, musicians and the dancing welcoming committee was done by the staffs of the same department. There were dancing, singing, poco2, band group (pop and even rock group), acting, you name it, we had it. Even our biggie boss actually get down to it and lend his voice during the karaoke session...wa caya sama lu lah! It was a sad nite for all to have finally learned each other’s talents and yet have to say goodbyes...

My offspring!

On tuesday, my 5yrs old cheeky bom bom ran back home after her mengaji, panting, to ask me if she can play with her friends outside which I firmly said no explaining to her that nightime is for bedtime not playtime. Recognising defeat, final say coming from the authority person (me!!!), dengan muncung panjang sedepa, she trotted in dutifully.

Last night, after 1/2 hr of sending her for mengaji few doors away, she still did not come back home, my dearest went to check on her and discovered that she had purposedly asked the ustaz to teach her last eventhough she was the first to arrive so that she can prolong her playtime whilst waiting for her turn!!

I know I should alerted her that I am aware of her trick but somehow i didn't...instead it made me smile the whole nite, my chest constricted with so much love and admiration for her ingenuity!!! I made her, she is me....only a mother can understand my feeling at that moment..........

Madam Zorra says...

Whoa...stop!!

Have you ever met a person who can speak like a bullet train going 300km/h????

I've had the pleasure of meeting one, once or twice, which never fails to make me smile and forget what I was thinking, whilst talking to them!!

My mind will auto switched into this premeditated mode and starts to think...'wah, this person can really talk followed by lajunya dia, macam mesingan followed by I wish i can talk like that immediately replaced by eh, apa dia cakap tadi followed by...and so on, successfully disrupting my train of thoughts!!

Its quite fortunate that I am not in the 'world of entertainment' where Im sure we can commonly find them, otherwise, these people will think im a dimwit having to keep repeating their questions to me...hehe

p/s whoever you are, this is a rare gift indeed, so flaunt what u got!!!

50th Birthday!

This year is Malaya's 50th Merdeka Day and I have to say that I am truly proud to be a Malaysian.

Having been to so many countries, the saying that nothing beats our home country is really true. Where else can we find teh tarik/mee mamak at 3am by the roadside, nasi campur spread during lunchtime, pisang goreng n segala kuih muih by the road side during teatime, the word 'lah', the word 'sayang' which if used at different intonations can mean a lot of things, the caption 'Malaysia Boleh' both in negative and positive manners, mat rempits, 5pm crawling traffic, highways that have cracks everywhere yet can still get CFs, multi racial thus diverse cultures, peacefulness and safety comfort....among others!

I am a malay who looks so much like a chinese who at times speak like an indian!!!

Wonders never cease that with all the 'rojak' blood that I have in my genes, my chinese blood will dominate my whole outlook. Although i have dabbled a bit in mandarin class but because not a day goes by without someone trying to speak chinese to me, that I am able to understand what they are trying to convey which does not necessarily mean I can reply but enough to give out the right expression :D

Dat's the end of it!

So..um..ah..the music machine is a no go!! It's too fucking expansive!!! I was told that it will cost me at least 2k to rent it out. What??? With MP3 rampant widely, it is an outrage that it will cost a bomb to have that stupid machine at our party...hishhhh

I remembered the party we had to celebrate the end of SPM which is equivalent to today's prom nite, it cost us a mere RM500..er...hang on...at least that was the price quoted to us by a guy who had a huge crush on me who rented the machine from another guy......could it be he forked out the rest????...ah, we will never know now, will we...... gosh, i cant believe that it has been bloody 15 years since we left secondary school..shucks, im so old now : (


p/s at least I still got perfect teeth..so says my dentist : D

Its gonna be a busy week........

*super long pause thinking of what to say*

You got so much to say but its like you got this mental blocking your thoughts but once the dam is broken, there's no stopping you!!

Im pretty beat this week, trying to juggle my never ending work, keeping in touch with friends, blogging, running a household, making sure I complete my list of what to buy before passing over to mum whose leaving for Jakarta today and on top of that preparing for my cheeky bom bom's birthday party which we gonna rejoice it together with 2 of my crazy sisters since they all shared almost the same birthdate.

The wacky sisters has been hinting to have a 'disco-like' party at the club with the theme green/white...if that happens, than I have to arrange for the music machine, djs, activities for the underage (thinking of face painting, some games etc..), the party packs and the decos...shucks, lotsa work to be done, time to enlist some help...hehe, watch guys!

p/s came across this wonderful blog on cupcakes...http://cuppacakes.blogspot.com/

Im confused!!!

How in the world do u eat this with dignity?? Is it a pie or is it a soup??? Do u eat it with fork and knife or with soupy spoon??? Ate it many times but to this day, im not sure what it is....oh well!!!

Pix of The Eye!

Eye on Malaysia!

While its still hot and happening, we decided to bring our cheeky bom bom to experience the 'Eye on Malaysia'! Bila last kali korang menjejakkan kaki kat Tasik Titiwangsa hah?? Serious tempat tu dah lain giler!!! Macam Hyde Park wa cakap lu!! It baffled me that there is this wonderful place right beneath our nose and we did not know about it!!! Ive lost count on how many times Ive mentioned to my dearest on how wonderful it would be if we have something like Hyde Park or Central Park to hang around in KL...and eh, dah ada rupanya...how ignorant me as a Malaysian!!!

There were hype of activities since it is the launching of VMY 07. Food galore, activities for all ages including the small kids...it was wonderful and made me a bit emo to see Malaysian from all walks of life regardless of the races, enjoying the activities together!!

Now the 'Eye on Msia'....ticket charge, a mere RM15 each (cheap!!!!). The queue to the ticket stand was ok, just under 30 mins but the lining-up to the gondolas, macam tak sempurnalah pulak. From 3 lanes down to 1 lane creating bottleneck so ada sikit chaotic moment...i guess the organiser have never been to Disneyland kot...tahlah...the ride was worth it, 5 rounds, we got gondola no 40 out of 41. NO 4 tu!!!! Mengucap jugaklah bila naik....heheh. Actually the real reason for us to go unto this ferris wheel was the fact that we kinda ralat tak dapat naik London's Eye since it was completed just after we left London but we did experienced the ride in Paris so since Paris was open air, the level of ketakutan tu a bit more lah...else, sama je rasa macam naik kat funfair cuma tinggi sikit so mungkin gayat sikitlah kot....

Btw, org ni cam suka je minum petrol and sembur api ni coz kawan2 dia ramai dah tersandar kepenatan tapi dia masih dandy actively going places entertaining people....

p/s please remember to wear appropriate shoes though..yours truly forgot to do so!!!

NST Stand in BB!

We played host to our clan from JB on saturday. They all wanted to watch CINTA and since we have watched that and whilst waiting for the movie to end, we decided to waste our time loitering BB. Wahlau...i think its been close to 2 years since I last walked the walk in front of Lot 10. All these while, it has always been fast fast fast...parked car, get my shopping done then im gone! But this time around, we actually took our time to sight seeing the whole rendevous area since we got lotsa time to kill!!!!

I was very pleased and surprised to find this wonderful NST stand where we can actually lepak whilst reading free newspaper in the comfort of an air-conditioning room, regardless of time spent, without being thrown into the street....how wonderful is that!!!!! Check it out guys....malaysia has really come a long way.....

And that nite, we lepak at our ole haunt, the good ole Suzi's corner! Ingat lagi tak tempat ni....here's a pix to refresh our mind...should lepak there again someday...kan?

CINTA!

I know this topic has already been discussed world over and you'll be a tad boring reading it tapi nak jugak, aiman tak kisah, i just have to give my 2 cents worth...

Beautiful cinematography, beautiful story line, beautiful people acting in it and beautiful people watching it..chewah!

However i must say that it was not an original masterpiece. It was adopted from Love Actually with added scenes from the likes of When Harry Met Sally, Coming to America, Nottinghill and a few bunch of other soppy movies which i cannot recall the titles. So in that sense, I was kinda let down a bit but because it was nicely done and managed to make the bunch of us bawled like a baby, so i definitely gives a thumb up for the movie!!!!

New Year's resolutions!

Resolutions are bullshit and overrated! We should try to better ourselves everyday but in case being asked by others, my ready made answer would be...get nicer body, get nicer body, get nicer body, make more money and makes lot of amore!!!!!

There is a fine line between being confident and arrogant....am trying hard to balance that!

Whatever your resolutions are, put your heart & soul to it. It might take time, but you will get there somehow. And when you do arrive, remember to share!

Happy New Year!

New Year in PD!

I was spitting fire on new year's eve. Until today all my sms sent on that day are still being processed..bangang betul! It was an intrusion of my right to sms and i was forced to call instead...fucker! ok, ok so i got almost nil credit balance and too lazy to go out to top up so sapa yang menang cabutan no bertuah and received a personal wish from me adalah manyak untung ooo, siapa yg aku tak call, jgn ngada-ngada nak merajuk...blame it on vincent tan!

So we didnt go clubbing or anything, instead we sat on the balcony and talked till wee morning hours which kinda nice since we hardly have the time to do that anymore. From where we sat, we could picked out about 7 fireworks which was still similar to KL's skyline so nope, i didn't missed a thing!

Btw, thanks for the smses, god knows when you will received mine!

p/s no fireworks pix, battery camera kong pulak masa tu...

Eid-Dul Mubarak in PD

To my surprise, celebrating raya haj in a holiday mood setting rather than the usual 'balik kampung' tradition, is not bad at all.

Nothing much differs, the usual raya pray, the food binge (yes! my mom cooked!) and the excessive noise. The only thing missing was the droves of friends and family visiting us and the receiving of the korban meat from the surau next door. Otherwise it was still raya to us but with great compensation of having to fling ourselves into the pool right after..hehe

But of course the only thing that marred the day was the execution of Saddam Hussein. He may has been a tyrant, a dictator, a barbaric man and deserved his justice but to do it a day before raya haji when 7 million muslim was gathering in Arafah is a real insult to muslim all over. On top of that broadcasting the execution to the world on saturday, to me it was meant to serve as a warning to others to bow to Bush administration or face the consequences of public murder! Even the trial was a mockery of justice befits a kangaroo court!

Oh and my sis in law hung up her hammock and we all had a great time taking turns swinging like jakuns!

Last but definitely not the least!

Happy New Year and Eid-Dul Mubarak to all my chummys. Unfortunately I will not be in town to celebrate both days. My mum had a sudden flash of inspiration to 'tukar angin to PD' and party there instead...alahai...back again to that polluted seaside, whats with the impending rain and the probability of banjir. So persoalannya again...swimsuit or bikini?...tapi its raya...cam tak sopan gitukan...good ole swimsuitlah nampaknya...shucks!

This will be my last muse before we enter 2007. I hope what we have wished for year 2006 has come true, I know mine did : D

Lets pray that 2007 will be a blast year for all of us!!

p/s I thought I have watched my last movie of the year, whatdaya know? Im watching CINTA tonite with da family...hah! finally!..i know, i know, bring buckets of tissue!!! I will.......................NOT!...chewah, eksyenlah pulak tu... : )

Last movie before year end!

Went to catch the movie ‘Curse of the Golden Flower’ yesterday at GSC Berjaya Times Sq. with my dearest. It was a powerful profound drama by Zhang Yimou and superb acting by Choy Yun Fat and Gong Li.

For those who don’t know what the heck im talking about, well, its the latest movie shot inside China's famous Forbidden City. Gong plays an Empress in the late Tang dynasty who discovers that her husband The Emperor (Chow Yun Fat) is slowly poisoning her. Already upset by the recent end of an affair with her stepson Wan (Liu Ye), The Empress hatches a plan to kill The Emperor with the help of her own son Jai (Jay Chou). But as the plan is put in motion, each member of this incestuous circle discovers secrets and deceptions deeper than any ever imagined.

I’ve always been in awe of Gong Li’s timeless beauty but it was her acting in Memoirs of the Geisha that got me hooked. I have made a point since then to watch her movies…to me, she is a remarkable actress with the same standard as Meryl Streep.

So go on now, go and see the movie but be warned to self arm with tissue….or maybe its just me being my usual emo self..but really! Its worth watching although the ending is a bit tad depressing.

p/s Sapa yang memang suka breast tu, ha! memang sesuailah tengok cerita ni...pergi jangan tak pergi!!!!!

I salute 2007!

Beats me how the time zipped by in a flash! Another year, another wrinkle. Glad as I am to greet baby 2007, it’s kinda sad to say goodbye to ole 2006. It’s the year :

1) I turned 18++++++++++
2) I landed this fantastic job with excellent pay and cool benefits to boot....suckers!
3) I finally had the courage to say hell with it and leave the ole co and my silly fucktard boss...sod off!
4) I took a crack at biz and learned that I sucks at it....never again!
5) My beautiful daughter landed her 1st brochure adv. and mama glowed with
pride by the sideline
6) My cheeky bom bom set off for her 1st school and mama bawled like a
baby
7) I made lotsa new friends and discovered my true friends
8) I uncovered and learned my true strength during trying times
9) I appreciate my ability to execute multi tasking
10) I acquired my 2nd car....so why am i still taking the commuter?
11) I initiated my very own blog..lets see if this will last!

Love!

In each other's hands, we have found trust & comfort
In each other's arms, we have found happiness & joy
In each other's hearts, we have found a love that will last forever!

Im going to be ok!

J asked me how's my work coming along...wellll...my life is beginning to look normal again after the gruelling week. Just had to sort out my priorities to get the right balance. Although work is a bit teeny weeny complicated and for awhile, i thought i would probably suffered mild heart burn by week end, but nothing of that sort happened..thank god! True to my sayangs prediction, ive sailed my first week test with flying colours!

I may have added few new rules and brainstorm new ideas that are logic to me alone, but i did get the job finished on time and that's what matter most, right? Although i must thank my senses, which as always are incredible...ahem!...to avoid being in some tight spots. No thanks to a green monster in the office which we can bitch about it later...

But in all, I must say that im quite pleased with meself for a job well done...im patting myself in the back now..heh! Good way to end the year, eh?

p/s that reminds me, my gf went for a job interview in HSBC last week...dia kata separuh mati kena taro but that coming from a person who said the same thing about separuh mati dengar i berceloteh sepanjang hari...now it can't be that bad, can it : D

Sigh!

Some people are meant to find...

A rare delight in each other
To love being together
To share a richer rapport
A deeper laughter
A truer understanding

Such feelings don't diminish with the years but only stronger
To bring their hearts closer together

Feliz Navidad!

If ur thinking of going to Ikea this weekend....forget it! Big mistake! With the christmas day just around the corner, memang menyumpah tak sudah kena himpit with smelly bodies.

Yup, just came back and couldn't wait to bitch about it. Memang nasib sial sikit hari ni coz dahlah ramai org, which triggered my migraine then the whole goddamn place boleh black out...so add hot to the 'already uncomfortable swarming with people' space...bullshitlah if i say i didn't maki hamun dalam hati. Couldn't maki outloud seeing that im such a goody two shoes...snigger!

On top of that, just had 2 espresso down my throat, so there i was, energy level was extremely high but unable to vent it out in that stupid hot and confined breathing space in addition to the long queue line....my long face could probably freeze middle east all over...eiii geram betul mak!

Moral of the story is...Ikano Power Station...?...not so power after all eh?...had to endure friggin 45 mins blackout!

Oh but there was some compensation...got lotsa knick knacks for my house and whilst lining up, we were entertained by a guy snoring like a bull who has lost its horn, sleeping on the 2nd hand me down settee...letih sangatlah tu...so for a moment in time, fellow shoppers were smiling at each other sharing our little secret everytime the guy snort out loud....

Merry Christmas Guys!

Bored to the max!

Couldn't blog for 2 days due to my new work commitment..tough! On top of that, had to attend some stupid briefing course for new staffs...alahai...dah tua bangka macam nipun kena induction lagi. memories of having attended BTN course before flying off came flooding back.

Talk about BTN, can't believe that it has been nearly 10 years since i last attended it. Ive actually made some reaaallly good chummys who has been with me through thick and thin till now. Dalam dok kena dera panjat gunung, mandi sungai pukul 3 pagi, mandi from kolah batu ramai2 whilst being serenaded by bull frogs and swating big flies and kumbang besar, masih sempat lagi buat lifelong kawan and kenyit mata dengan the guys...alah, dah sah-sah budak berhingus yang masih bergetah without any spare tyres and stretch marks..harmless flirtation sudah semestinya part and parcel of growing upkan....

Anyway, off with the day dreaming, back to reality, as expected, some of the speakers were so membosankan, i almost, almost tertido...i remembered the email i received about some eye sticker trick nak elak kena kantoi bila tertidur....damn i wish i had one of those sticker now. So I had a choice whether to listen to the drone of monotone voice or jot down some notion in my good ole notebook...

Hah! Guess where this piece of note is being copied from..hehe...my note booklah apa lagi. Seriously, if i had forced myself to go on listening diligently, they would prolly have to pry my stiffen corpse body obscured by cob web, from the chair.

Jadi sebelum itu berlaku yang mungkin akan menyusahkan hidup orang lain, adalah lebih baik saya mencatatkan apa-apa yang terlintas di kepala otak ini bagi mengelakkan saya tertidur seratus tahun didalam dewan aircond yang sejuk yang amat sesuai sebenarnya kalau nak beradu...

p/s actually above, was all I could merapu, coz damn ngantuk cannot think straight anymore.....

Holy smoke!

Hash, weed, grass..some of the underground names given to this mind intoxicated ration that often reduces the players to babbling brainless idiots or foolish dimwit.

U know when u r in your malas mood and got nothing better to do cept laze the day away, that’s when your mind will idly go down the memory lane which brought me to the following…

Back in the student days, it was norm for fellow uni mates to experience pot smoking. One friend actually went as far as to have ‘dapur’ or the place where he concocted the magic potion in his room…memang kerja gila…hehehe

So anyway, for moral support, we had gone to a band competition held by our uni. Thus lo and behold in that dim smoky filled with sweaty and smelly bodies; we had experienced our first ganj. While we were enjoying the loud blaring music, most of the students were puffing away blatantly ignoring the rules and regulation. Strange but within that close proximity, by just being a secondary smoker, we experienced the euphoric feeling, the blissful feeling, not a care in the world whilst being in seventh heaven kinda sensation. The effect is similar to the high feeling of a drunkard person….albeit the outcome is unique to each individual…hence the following:

A: cuba engko tengok aku punya parut ni. ada hari aku rasa buruk sangat tapi hari ni aku tengok sexy sangat…kau rasa sexy tak?

B: Yalah, it looks very sexy. my parutpun sexy jugakkan...and went on and on talking abt sexy scars

C: laughing none stop even if the conversation were not funny

D: smiling away whilst the cheek getting redder but did not contribute to the conversation

Me: was cool & collected, no effect whatsoever (serious, don’t ask me why, probably due to my inability to inhale???entahlah labu..) so I was left with the task of egging them on to say or act something wacky..heheh

p/s you know who you are, I would like to apologise if during that crazy wild nite, I prolly encourage you to do something nuts which none of you have any recollection of doing…but it was fun eh?

Puppy love!

I was cleaning my room yesterday when i stumbled across a box full of junks from yesteryears. Flipping thru, i discovered some long forgotten love letters dated back umpteen years.

I remembered the first time ever receiving a hand made card when i was 6 yrs old from a fellow kiddymate. It had pictures of hearts and tiny flowers and untidy scribbles of ‘saya suka awak'…ish budak kecikpun pandai nak mengorat ..this guy actually came back into my life when i was in form 2 after searching high and low for me...amazingkan..but alas it was not meant to be coz he definitely turned out quite different from that cute little boy i remembered....yeah i can be cruel sometime, i know, so sue me... past is best forgotten!

Back in my good ol all girls school, we always have candy daylah, flower daylah, song dedication dayslah...our interact club was quite active in organising events as such. It was kinda popularity test to see who will get the most...not a healthy affair..but hey, what the heck, masa tu masih budak lagikan, popularity was part & parcel of growing up. So I did get my share of pressies, quite a lot as I recalled…from my assortment of pet sisters, admirers, best friends (our gang was called the G22 and am still close to most of them). Tu belum lagi when the event was extended to the neighbouring all boys school…hmm, lagi best.

Ada one time tu, during form 3 when I had blossomed quite nicely, I received valentine flowers dedication from 2 different guys and the next thing I knew I had agreed for a date with both guys for valentine..dont ask me how that happened..actually I do…both of them were cute and I didn’t want to say no to any of them for fear of turning them off…the logic of a 15 years old girl!! bodoh sikitlah masa tu…bah humbug!

Anyway me and my partner in crime came up with an ingenuous plan of her pretending to be dating the other guy and were having a tiff and every 15 mins she will interrupt my date pretending to ask me to talk to the other guy on her behalf. I had adrenalin rush dashing back and forth in YC between my two dates…..phewww…never again I tell you…I was quite crazy back then…. One of them finally caught on but he was quite nice and understanding about the whole thing…what with me swearing I only said yes out of fear..chewah, berlakon konon! Dasar penipu!!!

But not all was good memory. In college, I left a card from an admirer laying around in my dorm. Little did I know that this guy already had a girlfriend whose bff was my dorm mate. Wah…apa lagi, perang besar couple tu and ended up with the girl shouting at me for being a cock tease! Celaka betul…memang sueylah masa tu…macamlah its my fault boyfriend dia gatal and tergila2 kat aku…ah fuck youlah...pandai2lah jaga boyfriend sendiri.Im sure some of you would have remembered this incident kan kan kan...bloody hell betullah...because of one foolish guy with crooked teeth, my reputation of being miss goody two shoes was dented....bastard!

It has been awhile since I last received an impromptu card or flower from anybody, not even my dearest (excluding time kawin, kat hospital or birthdaylah). Last was prolly during uni days, so long ago..hint! hint!

My crowning glory!

I'm officially bengang! So what if i want to colour my hair? Its my hair and im entitle to do whatever i want with it, i nak botakkan ke, or i nak colour pink ke, its mine and mine alone. Who are u to tell me what i can or cannot do...blahlah!!!!

Im sure the above is similar to all of you, may not be hair but something else? I happened to think that burgundy strawberry is the in hair colour now...so yes people, that's the colour of my hair now..a bit too much especially in the place where i worked now...but what the heck....im making a fashion statement!

But what gets to me is some old extended family members who felt it was their duty (not my parents or my dearest) to lecture me about how it is sinful to colour the hair...u know, cannot bawak sembahyang and all....helllooooo! My ibadah is between me and my god, who are u to tell me that because of this, i will rot in hell.... lu sapa?

Im sure a lot of you was or are in this situation kan? Sweat not coz i I happened to know for a fact that if its permanent colour, the molecule is bigger thus the smaller water molecule can sip thru....chewah...sepet the science genius is in the house!

Eiya, betul! Tak tipu! Benda ni aku belajar masa kat Boots in Bayswater, ada makcik Arab bagi talks on the permanent hair colour thingy...it makes sense, no?

So armed with this knowledge, i shot down my makciks (respectfully of course!)..terdiam dia org...yeah, me with my verbal diarrhea...so sue me.....

Dateless....

Nope, i failed in my task to tempt my dearest to watch cinta. Since most of my f&f have watched it, im left with the miserable task of finding hard for my next mangsa...damn! i never like to watch movies alone. did it once or twice back during the student days but somehow it left me with empty feeling afterwards having noone to share that moment with...nahhh...im way too people oriented to go alone...seriously! if left to devise things alone, you'll never know where that might lead me.

Similar to that one time when i left myra alone in my room, aleh2 bila bukak pintu bilik, yarabi, bilik macam tornado lalu and muka myra penuh dgn my newly acquired lipstick...wahhhh! There was one time when i had few hours to kill before meeting my dearest, so there i was walking along piccadilly, when i was hit by a suiside brainwave to watch an xxx movie in soho..it was effing cheapo, so apa lagi, nak cobalah....never again! bila duduk je, i noticed that it was full of men and when i said men, ya'a, men tengah dating men and doing an x rated version movies of their own..lahabau...i didn't immediately left though, mungkin out of curiousity or a shock to the nervous system rendered me temporary paralysed but what made me calibut was the fact that i caught the eyes of a perverted guy smiling smiling at me and gesturing me to sit with him......oh situasi yang menakutkan yang mampu membuatkan bulu2 di badan berguguran....never again!!!!

So that my dearest people, is one of the reason why sepet should never be left alone...u'll never know!!!!heheh.

1 sheep 2 sheep 3 sheep....

Its 12.18 am and believe it or not, i cant sleep! me who usually cannot open her eyes the moment the clock striked 10pm is actually blogging now...amazing gila wa cakap lu! harus kena panggil reporter edisi siasat! tah angin pus pus mana dah sampuk sepet malam eh pagi ni.

Im actually babysitting my mom's house whilst the rest of the family are extending their holiday from pd to bangkok. why im not there with them u asked? alah sedihnyalah kan..kitakan budak baru kerja, manalah boleh ambik cuti banyak2. lainlah kalau opis tu bapak gue yang punya...sigh :(

i feel like paksaing hubby to watch 'cinta' with me tomorrow. heard so many good reviews that i feel i should at least attempt to watch it..support msian film that kinda stuff. though i doubt my dearest wants to go seeing he is allergic to these kind of films...hmmm...must find ways to lure him....hey i know....meatballs at ikea!

dahlah, otak dah beku tak tau nak tulis apa. mulut dah menguap beribu kali tapi mata taknak katup jugak. otak rasanya dah separuh biol cannot think anymore...i know i should have refused bing's coffee offer just now...but the smell was so aromatic...cannot tahanlah..iman tak kuat!

crap...gotta find ways to put meself to sleep...think that counting sheeps trick will work? i'll let u know tomorrow....

Malaysian letter writing!

I didnt want to blog abt my work but for this, i just couldnt help myself.

Just got a letter from a malaysian who started of his letter with:

"ampun beribu ampun sembah patik harap diampun. patik mengharapkan belas kasihan pihak tuan bagi mencari jalan penyelesaian seadilnya bagi diri patik yang lagi hina ini"

wtf.. ada org tulis cam ni? kalau tak gi sekolah sekalipun, cannot use common sense ke on how to write a letter ..? have we really come down to this? we actually need to have another class on top of the normal class to teach children how to write proper letter? normal school edu. not enough mei? and dont tell me this person mungkin tak pi sekolah! the fact that he can write means he has at least some basic school edu! please dont let me get started on the teaching quality nowdays....sampai esokpun tak habis tulis!

talking about letters ye, i have come across so many names that left me flabbergasted that some malaysian had actually carelessly named their child without thinking of the impact it might had in the future... dumbass!

following are some of the names that i have came across:

chee ba bi, sanggul emas, jam bin ban, sanggar gemilang, tong git tong....serious! tak tipu tau! ciankan....

The heck....?!

Tol lima lebuh raya naik -- Antara 30 sen dan RM1 berkuat kuasa 1 Januari 2007

eh govie think we can just pluck money from the air issit? wtf!

more reason for us to use public transportation...my good ole commuter...oh tidak!

eh, that reminds me, i got few more commuting tipslah to share:

Be vocal if someone is harassing you in whatsoever way...girl power!
based on my personal incident with ‘si gatal’ which details were too gory to be retold but there were loud lecture, by me, finger pointing, by me, public broadcast, by me etc, enough to ensure that the guy will not be near my vicinity in his lifetime....ha padan muka ko, ngapelah masa kecik dulu mak ko tak tanam je ko hidup2..ei, kejamnyalah pulak si sepet ni..oklah oklah, retract balik statement tu, ganti dgn, ngapelah masa kecik dulu mak ko tak libas je ko dgn penyapu lidi bagi berbirat dan berparut muka/badan ko yg akan buatkan ko lagi malu nak jln2 kat luar...hah, amacam..ok tak..? screw all the perverts...except yours truly of course..ahem

Do not commute if hit by shopping craze mood
the other day, during a brief moment of insanity, I have decided to do some shopping at Sogo. Bad decision! Laden with my shopping bags, I boarded the jam packed 6pm train. As god would have it, one bag decided to burst open. Contents went flying here and there. I think you can picture my red face as I tumbled across the train picking up my things....cibai cinabing betul...malu siot!

anyway, back to the tol thingy...kalau kerja cop duit takpelah jugak....eh, hang on...actually i do....heheh...go figure!

Gasp* Im a storyteller!

My cheeky bom bom cannot go to sleep unless we tell her a bedtime story. And she insisted that it must be something new since she knows most of the story book tales oredi.

I tell you, its not an easy task..ingat senang ke? I must have used all the animals in the world and depicted them in so many imaginable situations that it must be a record!

But of course the stories always ends with...and princess myra lives happily ever after....

ah...the joy of such innocent mind...........

p/s malam ni nak goreng cerita apa pulak ek?

Im scared/

You know that im a newbie in the co. Yesterday was informed by my biggie boss that yours truly have to take over a certain hot job function that's being fight over by the senior staffs...alah mampuslah aku, sure jadi juara carta orang yg paling dibenci pada masa kini...damn 10x damn. Why moi.....???

Dont get me wrong, in my heart, im whooping with joy, in my head, im doing double somersault, in my eyes, im seeing dollar sign which means more shopping..yea...but reality check, shit, there are lotsa hati that i must jaga so that i wont be an outcast....memang mampuslah kali ni...

oh and in my ears, im still hearing the wonderful testimonial from my boss...sigh... : D

Smackaroooooo....

Not again! Today at the traffic light where there is a time indicator for the lights to change, a car in front of me stopped quite so sudden when the time indicator was at 5 seconds (green). I nearly had a heart attack slamming the brake coz i was poised to step on the gas to beat the light.

So there we were looking at the green lights counting down when we could have been moving still...4...asshole....3...cibai....2...pundek....1...babiiii!

Nice easy trick...

Just thought of something. It may not work but I was thinking that next time if I get stop by encik polis, the following excuse might just do the trick:

En.P: Tau tak berapa laju awak bawak?
Me: Sorry encik, nak terberak ni. Tu depan tu ada gas station. Tulah nak cepat takut tercirit dlm seluar.

hehehe..think it will work? If I can master enough strength and energy to keluarkan gas beracun yang maha pekat, ahhh, sure can get off free punya....

Whoopee!

So there i was, dripping wet fresh out from the pool when suddenly a whisp of something smelly caught my nose. Ewwww, the hotel mgmt had tied 2 foul smelly ponies just by the pool to entertain the kids. Busuknya, harus boleh termuntah and tergolek dog time tu. At least mandikanlah dulu the ponies, bukannya takde air, bergelen-gelen air kat laut tu..chisss

Apart from that, I had a greeeaat time in PD. we had a nice apartment decorated in balinese style with fantastic views of the sea, garden and pool. Must be the best room in the resort!

On top of that, there was a Thai fair nearby the hotel...and boy! the earrings are to die for..gila babi murah....definitely a great de-stress holiday!

p/s help! i know nuts abt putting up the pix, yeah i admit, im a bit of a spactic when it comes to this sort of thingy..just bear with me, ill be good someday, i just know it!

Till death do us part!

Replacing my dad, I dated my mom to go to Dr. Fazley & Azrene's wedding last nite at PWTC. I must say that the affair was tastefully done without it being too much of a lavish affair. The hall was screaming with Minangkabau's deco. Amidst the speculation, 'stories' and such, the hall was packed with the likes of VIPs, royalties, artistes..etc.

The couple was...well...regardless the fact that the bride was more than a head shorter than the handsome doc..they really made a cute looking couple. One thing i can say of that bride, she has a very sweet smile.

And the food...biasanya food hotel ni, after some time, it has lost it tastes and surprises but i must say that yesterday's spread was not too bad..sedap sehingga menjilat jari.

Altho I must dedicate this para to the pelamin...my goodness datuk nenek...cantik giler! it was a miniature palace of the Golden Horses hotel complete with the pillars and domes and water fountains...cantiklah...the pillars were a bit too much though coz tenggelam the pengantin...nasib ada projectors kalau tak haram tak nampak.

To the lovely couple, selamat penganti baru! Forget all the chaotic pre-wedding. just concentrate on the roads ahead...

Decision! decision!

My house is in a total chaos now. Our holiday doesn't start until this friday and its not as if we are going overseas or somewhere equally far, its just to that over exposure, overly polluted 1/2 hr drive, PD. But the amount of mess, macam nak pergi setahun ke luar negara.

Clothes strewn all over, food stuff mountaining on the kitchen counter, beach toys resembling stepping stones on the floor, all sort of colourful bags, dari kecik ke sebesarnya. I know, i know, its only 4 days but u'll never know when you just might need all these. Plus im meeting some friends there as well, mana tau nak pergi joget ke, karaoke ke, ronggeng ke and i overheard my mom saying that we might have to drop over some distant cousins' place for wedding. See! So many contigencies what if...to be planned.

And i still can't decide between bikinis or swimming suits....damn! im in dilemma..to be beach whore or to be a saint...but secretly i do wish to be like bo derek. let all the men drool looking at me all dripping wet...hehehe...ok, ok, im a pervert! hey, its my dream and its my blog..so sod off!

To add or not to add?

From the moment my husband said I do, we were bombarded with the one million dollar question ‘bila nak dapat anak’? Hello…we are still trying to digest the fact that we have just signed our lives away to wake up to the same face for the next 50 year or so and of course the fact that we were plain broke, to think further than where our next meal going to come from! Throughout the next few months of post marital, that question popped up once too many times. My dearest hubby came up with some cheeky answers to stop the blushing people from asking further.

Anyway to our delight the question stopped the moment we conceived. My hope of having an extended honeymoon period went down the drain. It was great though having fussed over by everyone. I discovered early on that I just need to say the word and people would be scrambling here and there trying to accommodate my needs regardless the hour. Of course I was not aware that this is just a devise to keep my mind off the horror that I was about to face.

Someone ask me once about the birth pain. To be honest, I could not recall the exact feeling but this was what I told him, “Pull your tongue out the furthest that you can. Is it painful? No? Now pull it out and over your head! That was what it was like to me!” It doesn’t help to have both mothers (mine and in law) watching the whole process from doctor’s point of view and making remarks as if they were the football commentators..(push harder, its crowning, eeww, look at all the blood, etc). If it’s not for the sight of my beautiful daughter rendered me speechless, I would have died from embarrassment by the whole ordeal. By the way, I think all mothers would have said their daughter was the most beautiful thing they have ever laid eyes upon, when in actual fact, newly born babies are actually just cute (ugly but adorable) with their bloated, pale skin, plastered with blood.

Anyway, once I gave birth, we thought that was that. Boy, were we wrong! The question came back, ‘bila nak tambah’.

Oh boy….will it ever ends?

My commuting tips!

Why issit that everyone seems to be keeping an impressive face devoid of any emotion on the commuter. But the moment they get off, wah, started to yakkity yak like normal human being...laaaa, boleh cakap rupanya, ingatkan bisu.

I have encountered many times kejadian seperti makcik next to me belch out loud, girl with ipod suddenly singing out loud, a lady who suddenly ‘melatah’...and me being my usual self, will start to laugh or paling sopanpun snigger je...but had to stop abruptly coz no one else was following suit...oh situasi yg sungguh memalukan...terkedu sekejap!

I strongly recommend for all commuters to self armed with perfume spray or invest in the synchronize swimmer’s nose clip to combat that pungent smell of BO. Infact i would welcome the day when some inventor can come up with a machine that can detect and evict passengers with high level of BO. Ni nyusahkan org je nak kena kembang dan kempiskan hidung yg memang sedia kembang ni utk menyahkan bauan harum itu...

BTW if feeling sleepy, try to get the window sit where you can rest your head against it. Unless you look like Hannah Tan, believe me when I say that nobody looks attractive with their sleepy head lolling around providing free entertainment to others.


Note of caution: to use Ipod/MP3, one needs to be on constant self control which may be difficult to do since you are always either in the midst of mentally choreographing a dance move or mentally singing at your sell out concert

Cian dia...

Just heard the news today abt my brother in law broke his toe falling down the bed..heheh. Sent the following smses to him:

1) sex luar tabii ganas sangat sampai jatuh katil ke?
2) Missus hisap ke gigit ke

It has been a long standing joke abt him and bed. The bed actually broke on his wedding nite and now this latest incident confirms that seharusnya dia kena tidur atas lantai..muahahah

Itupun nak kena ajar ke?

It was raining cats and dogs last friday afternoon. Driving back home, I encountered a minor banjir. What a girl to do but hit the gas and pretend to be schumacher in the hope that the car will not get stuck.

Phew, made it! But aleh2 this mamat on motorbike was gesturing at me rivalling Karam Singh Walia. Lu apa hal? Oh..he was drenched from my dare devil driving stunt.

Anyhow, is it my fault that it rained? U think I can control the drainage system in KL issit? Dah tau hujan lebat macam tu sure akan basah lenjun punya,sendiri take the risk, sendiri tanggunglah...dumbass!
