apa hal?

someone called me up yesterday to enquire bout my cousin's wedding recently.
she used to date my cousin. i dont know the details but it was a bitter break-up.
so, when she called me to ask all sorts of silly Qs, i was annoyed. Like, 'is d wife pretty?', 'why didnt he invite me?'
and i started to wonder how did they break up.
well, no doubt that my relationship with my cousin is like 'hi,hi, bye,bye' but i wasnt gonna let her go off with a smirk on her face.
luckily, along the conversation, i had to pick up another phone call, so i ended it abruptly.
and i have been tolerating this girl's behaviour for as long as i could remember.
i did ask her why she didnt reply to my earlier sms and all she could answer was 'busy lah.'
the next thing i did?
let's juz say her name is no longer in my phonebook.

snail mail

i was bz over the weekend, cleaning up the house, rearranging everything, and throwing things that i no longer need. and that's when i stumbled upon old letters from friends. i took a while to read them. i like them all but the best was a letter asking how i was after delivering my first. it was from a long-distance friend. sigh.

oh leonardo

i'm a big, big fan of leonardo dicaprio. so, when he didnt win yesterday's golden globe for best actor, i was disappointed. he received 2 nominations and yet the jury didnt pick him. his loss to jamie foxx some years back is still fresh in his mind i guess.
so, as the unofficial president of leonardo's fan club, i will stage a silent protest if he didnt win again at the oscars.

cry me a river

when ure stuck in a jam and ur infant is crying non-stop, what do u do?
i felt so helpless when he cried continuously.
there's no u-turn sign and even if there's one, i doubt ppl will give way. everybody's in a hurry so why bother ppl like me, rite?
i'm at the wheel, he's at the back.
kept singing him lullabies but it didnt work.
it's heart-wrenching to hear him cry like that.
i hafta do something.
ok,stop ur car rite now.
and that's what i did. picked him up from his seat and soothed him.
he stopped crying.
and that's when i started to cry.

r u being yourself?

ive juz read ubi's blog.
she mentioned something that ive been asking myself a long time ago.
the blog is supposed to be a channel where u can vent out ur anger, frustration, happiness, etc. but why do i care what ppl's gonna think of me everytime i wanted to post something?
i dont know how many actually read my blog.
but whatever it is, i should not have any fear of writing what i strongly believe in.
==================================================

this is a story of trustworthiness.
i have a colleague at my office whom i always find the time to chat with. she looks like 'the-girl-next-door' type. i'm very secretive when it comes to 'leaking info' coz if ure in my industry, u will know what i mean. there are so many who will act nice towards u coz they want something that u have (read : info) and trust me, these ppl, when the tables are turned, they'll be meaner than me.
so, back to this friend, everytime we have a chat, she will ask 4 some info and trusting that she'll not leak it to any party, i willingly shared the news. and then, i got to know from another friend that she actually told a few ppl anything that comes out from my mouth!
to me, she's sooo stupid coz those ppl she leaked info to, will never do the same for her.
and yes, i'm playing the racial card here.
===================================================

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IDARIAH!!
i dont know whether she remembers this or not but we did promise to celebrate our 30th bday in a big way. and look where we are now. a year older!

when fatness is not a sin...

according to an article ive read in the newspaper recently, the most used new year's resolution is to lose weight. frankly speaking, losing weight was not in my list. but ive changed my mind lately. why? since my dad commented on my tummy area. that was like someone juz stabbed ur heart. talk about trying to be ur own self at home! and here is what funnier. when i asked my siblings, 'am i fat?', they started the 'ooh'ing and 'aah'ing. ok, well said.

it annoyed me when a simple job is turned into a difficult one. only morons are capable of doing this.

welcoming 2007

hari raya haji was a sombre affair. went to mum's house early in the morning and no one actually don the raya attire. me and rania felt totally left-out! but after much persuasion, they finally got up to make raya more meaningful this time. visited 2 of our relatives' houses and i realised after i got home that it was not bad at all. were we to opt staying home all day, i dont think we would be happy.

so 2006 came and go. i cant even remember having any resolutions for 2006. another year passed by and how it ended so fast amazed me. what have i achieved? we did add another member to the family. did good outweight the bad or vise-versa? thinking bout it at one go seemed so funny.

2007 looks promising enough for me. it would be so cliche to list down what i must achieve by the end of 2007 . instead, i think i would settle with doing the right thing and doing it right.

happy new year!
