friday is a holiday, rite?

in 4 days time, my bro will be getting married.
in order to be his bride, she has to fit me n my sis's criteria, not my mom's.
my criteria is quite simple.
NOT A SHARIFAH, PLEASE.
that's all im asking.
if all these while, the PERASAN sharifah / syed clan thought they can be choosy, well, let me say this.
WE can be choosy too.
like wat my dad always say, arab miskin je yg dtng dok malaysia.
but funny how they thought they're much better than us.
PERASAN.
and im not saying all arabs are d same.
maybe some are not like that at all. i havent found one though so i dont know.
and for my bro not to have a sharifah as his bride, well, i thank GOD for that.
she did come this far so i guess everything's not so bad la eh?
today is her bday but we already celebrated yesterday.
plus, my kids are used to having her around lately.
i juz hope that she wont mind if i keep on teasing her coz i juz cant stop.

happy birthday...

why does it hurt so bad

i know it is not worth mentioning.
but to be betrayed again by a good friend?
it is hurtful.
it made me realised that some friends need u only when they need help.
as long as ure there to provide solutions, they wud stick with u.
when everything's ok and back to normal again, they juz dumped u.
ive been there quite a few times n yet i never learned from it.
why?
i dont think im d softie type.
could it be because i still have hope n faith in everlasting friendship?
when it happened, all u cud think of was why d sudden change?
it hit u hard and it hurts.
despite of all that, thank god i still have a friend who can be tougher than me sometimes.
and yeah, after sleeping on it, i felt better.

bla bla bla

oh please let the teaching of maths and science be taught in english.
let the kids learn new words in english.
and please stop labelling me as anti-bahasa melayu or something to that effect.
by preferring english than bahasa, it doesnt make me less malay, trust me.
im juz saying it from my experience.
i wasnt able to speak english well until i was 18 i guess...?
and by not mastering english in school, it made me inferior to others who speak english unbelievably well. i didnt envy them, i just ignored the fact that i could if i tried harder.
and no, i dont speak in english all the time with my kids at home. sometimes yes but not all the time.
coz i dont want to be one of those parents who are proud to say that their kids suck in bahasa.
it may sound cool but actually, who are u kidding?
im responding this to a statement by the new education minister who will decide whether to mantain the teaching of maths and science in english or to revert it back to bahasa.
do not confuse the children.
learning in english doesnt kill anyone for that matter.

cranky not only on mondays

i was quite moody this morning, not due to anybody's fault but mostly of sleep deprivation.
during daytime i get tired easily and by night time when i thot i could have uninterrupted sleep, my eyes juz refused to shut. i toss and turn and still i couldnt get the right position. last two nights was d worst. my eyes were blinking all nite long until i heard d call for subuh prayers. and at that time i was saying to myself, please let it be a dream.

so when i experienced almost the same thing again last nite, u can imagine how my mood was like this morning. i am always a calm and slow driver but this morning, i got quite agitated when d speed of the car in front of me was similar to the speed of cycling. but while waiting at the traffic lite, i received an email that changed my mood totally. im gonna share it with all of u. (thanks kucingoren, u made my day)

TITLE : THE SPOON

(a lesson of how consultants can make a difference in an organization.)

last week, we took some frens to a new mamak restaurant and noticed that d waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket.
it seemed a lil strange.
i noticed all the waiters had the same thing in their shirt pockets.
when the waiter came with our food, i asked, "why d spoon?"
he said, "well, d restaurant owner hired Andersen Consulting to revamp all of our processes. after several months of analysis, they concluded dat d spoon was the most frequently dropped utensils. it represents a frenquency of approximately 3 spoons per table per hour. if our personnel are better prepared, we can reduce d number of trips to and fro d kitchen and save 15 man-hours per shift."
it happened that i dropped my spoon and he replaced it immediately.
i was impressed.

later, i noticed there was a string hanging out of the waiter's fly.
looking around once again, i noticed all d waiters had strings hanging out from their flies.
before he walked off, i asked again, "why the string?"

he answered in a hush2 voice, "that consulting firm i mentioned learned that we can save time in the restroom as well. by tying this string to the tip of u-know-wat, we can pull it out without touching it and eliminate d need to wash our hands, shortening d time spent in restroom by 76%."

"then how do u put it back in?" i asked.

"well, i dont know bout d others but i use the SPOON..."

of being uncool

i visited a friend who's in confinement. i visited d day she was discharged from d hospital. funny thing was, d spouse wasnt around. reason? tengok F1.
sorry but im not trying to sound so kampung here but to watch F1 masa bini pantang?
den mmg takleh trima. and when i mentioned to some who visited, i sounded like iwas d only girl with a kampung mind.
oh pardon me, i guess i had to apologize for being soooo uncool...
