i am seldom being surprised.
but last nite was a huge surprise. a very, very good friend from a place i wish i could migrate to, called. it made me feel guilty coz i dont even have her phone number in the first place. and some of our friends did call her a few times. we stopped emailing each other coz we prefer the snail mail. and i would wait in anticipation for her next letter. when i told my sis that i write letters instead of emailing, she couldnt take it. to her, it is beyond imagination. why would someone spend time to write and wait for a few days for the news to arrive? well, that's the thing. i treasure my friendship with this friend of mine so much that i think by emailing, it wasnt special enough. we did emailing each other initially but i did tell her that i found it a bit 'cold'. the contents, her, everything. and to have a friend who can take whatever that was being thrown at her and would still be okay with me, i think that's one in a million eh?
and to think that during our school days, we despised each other?!
and last nite, i wasnt the one babbling. i was the one listening to her current good life. im so happy for her. i hope she gets want she wants. and when she was done talking, i juz didnt know what to tell her. it seems like i'm the one who's living a mundane life.

u go girl!!!!

a real monday blues

woke up so early today.
mood was ok until...i noticed i cant zip up my pants.
eh??
betul ke ni?
inhale......................ok, done.
it's time to send omar.
opened the car door, rania asked, apsal bau masam?
oh no!!
air milo tumpah smalam...and i forgot to clean it up...
geez!
ok nevermind, clean it later.
sitting in the car, i feel like im bloating. and i havent even had breakfast yet.
*sigh*
oh ida, no wonder u hate mondays....


i managed to watch 'Juno' and i like the movie!
(and i'm imagining when ppl asked me 'have u seen Juno?'
and i would say, 'awesome dude!')


what else did i watch?
i watched Charlie Wilson's War halfway, (banyak cakap so tertido)
Gone Baby Gone halfway. (seperti di atas)
still have another 20 to go.


i have nothing against women who smokes but when i saw a tudung-clad girl puffing away mcm jantan, eeww! that turns me off, man.
i feel ashamed on her behalf.

ish, ish, ish

hsbc sent me one credit card a long time ago. i didnt ask for it. but i do remember cutting it into 2. called them up to tell them that i wont be needing the card and asked for a cancellation. instead, this one persuasive lady coaxed me into keeping the card with no annual fees imposed. i was so lazy to argue with her i juz said ok.
yesterday i received the bill asking me to pay rm40 for the annual fees. so i called them up again. isnt it a hassle? not to mention a waste of time. i asked for a waiver and again, cancellation of the card. unbelievably, the guy said, in order for me to waive it, i have to spend a certain amount every month. wait a minute.
gile ke apa?
God knows i tried so hard not to get extremely angry.
but luckily this time, the guy didnt coax me again.
i dont wanna say 'phew!'
coz i didnt ask for it in the first place.
BANKS are the perfect example of daylight robbery.

in the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is the king.



i am officially an 'ahli mesyuarat tingkap' at my mum's place.
i think i know more ppl there than at my own pad.
it's easy. the maids talk bout their employers all the time!
u dont have to ask. juz listen to them talking to each other.
u'll get the picture clearer if u asked. in my case, i ask my mum's maid.
she gets along with everybody so ppl would want to tell her stories.
believe me, with all the juicy stories i have, i can send a script to rashid sibir.

the pretenders

i hate politicians. dont ask me why. i juz hate them.
and i dont like the oppositions too. the causes that they're trying to champion are juz wrong.
ppl like zakaria mat deros makes me want to vote for opposition.
though i know all politicians are d same. crooked minds.
u may wonder who zakaria is. alah, dont u remember?
his mansion in klang?
yeah, that's the one.
do we need ppl like him? i think not. but it seems that khir toyo does.
he's untouchable. yucks!
and there are so many KJ wannabes nowadays.
God help us all...

tah apa2

i love the The Kite Runner book. So when it was turned into a motion picture, I quickly grabbed one to watch it. Frustnye...
sangat hambar.
maybe because the book had a deep impact on me so i assumed the film would give me a greater impact.
it didnt.
there were so many interesting things that can be derived from the book. but i didnt see any.
frust giler.
the book is still the best.


tiap2 pagi ku megelap keretaku supaya sentiasa bersinar dan memancar2 walau di mana ku berada. tetapi apabila petang, hujan lebat membuatkan diriku sedikit 'alamak' kerana kehilangan pancarannya. walaupun tiada siapa yang kisah tetapi ku merasa bangga apabila ada orang bertanya 'baru basuh ke'. dengan diriku yg ada anak 2, apakah alasanmu tidak mengelap kereta?

jangan marah aaaa......

bitchy ke?

u know how sometimes u tend to comment on ppl's dressing?
i dont know bout u but i always do that. in discreet. it's either i make a mental note or once in a while, i would talk bout it to my roommate. usually it involves our colleagues. like when one staff suddenly wears high heels, or when a colleague dressed up inappropriately.

so when this morning, the moment i stepped into my office, my roommate quickly said, 'pls excuse what i wear today.'

okaaaay.....
firstly, i never take notice of what she wears everyday.
secondly, hey! im no kate moss ok.

oh God, now she thinks im one of those who likes to bitch bout ppl's clothing.
seriously, im not that bad laa.....

learn from it

we all knew the nurin's case.
we sympathised with the family.
the culprits were never caught. so what do we learn from that sad episode?
NEVER to let your kids go out on their own.
but some ppl never learned from it!
infact, if ALL parents were being too careful, there shouldnt be a second nurin or sharlinie for that matter.
i didnt blame nurin's father but now im blaming sharlinie's parents.
how could they be so careless and ignorant?
ok, they were juz trying to have a good time at the playground, but didnt it occur to u that after 3 months, the bad ppl might strike again?
nobody wants to admit that our place isnt safe anymore.
no point being in denial.
u think it's safe out there? i dont.

sometimes it's worth imitating the 'others.' (read : kiasu)
have u ever wondered why they overprotect their premises or residences like a fortress?
because they know everybody's a target so why not lessen the risks.

only learn the good things from them, not the bad ones.

let it be

i made a huge mistake yesterday.
to my mum.
i was supposed to 'do' something for her a month ago but i did not.
i did not do it on purpose.
but i confessed. and she was ok though she kept asking me why didnt i do it in d first place.
it was easy.
to protect her rights.
though there isnt much that we can do but at least i prolonged d process.
was i satisfied?
nope.
but like mum said again and again;
juz let it be.

oh mum, forgive me.

but for d record, i have no regret whatsoever for what ive done.

*geram dgn org yg taktau malu*

kek ke ni???

AMARAN : kek ini sgt mengerikan.

this is our (me and sister) attempt of baking a flourless cake. nigella's recipe. mum didnt want anything to do with it coz according to her, she never bakes flourless cakes. so to prove my mum wrong, (she said 'kan elok gi beli je'), we tried to bake one. semangat sungguh berkobar. my sis who is never a morning person, woke up early to buy things at tesco. (selamat duit den)
but we did need mum's help on the 'double boiling'. she said, "tak payah! microwave aje."
when it was finally in the oven, mum even made fun of us, "jangan lupa kejut ye bila dah siap..."

ish, ni yg tak sodap ni.

and tadaa......

so that was how it looked like after pouring some cream. (mmg patut cair ke?)

rasa?

mmm....boleh tahanlaa...!!!

kalau bole tahan, apsal ada lagi tertenggek kat dapur tu eh?

NOTE TO SELF : next time, beli jelah...

(ish, ni yg malu kat kucing oren yg gemok tu...)
