as i was passing by

huh, dah bersawang.

Anyway, there's a lot of happenings, which i thought has less significant to own a whole post here (read : sebab dah past tense yg sangat panjang.. plus i am super lemau and malas to update), for instance :

1. We went crazy deciding whether to move or not (tak abis2 kan? that's the art in our relationship, no case will be close, *grinnnn..*)
2. The Thomas Cup has made us half sakit jantung, screaming and what's not in the house.
3. I've finished reading 2 books, and am currently reading 1:
1. The Concubine of Shanghai by Hong Ying

• Read this during my whole trip in Borneo. The book was given free by the hotel owner when we stayed in Brunei (rugi, tak boleh claim tax).
• A true story of a woman named Cassia, who lived as concubine in Shanghai.
2. Natrah - Cinta, Rusuhan, Air Mata  by Fatini Yaacob

• Who doesn't remember Natrah @ Maria Huberdina Hertorgh @ Bertha Hertogh ? Read this book, strongly recommended.
• As the writer said in her preface - this story is about Natrah, and beyond. U should be surprise of the beyond (ke aku je?)
4. We went to several interesting places :
• Lost World of Tambun
• err.. balik kelantan, boleh?
5. Watched good and not so good movies :
• Shrek in 3D - cool!
• Ironman II - cool too, at least to my kids.
• Clash of the titans
• Robin Hood

And, I'll be updating the borneo trip soon.

How soon you say? hehe.. Very soon.

Aleatoria

A lot has been playing in my mind, randomness mostly.

Originally drawn by yours truly

1. Life has been stagnant and unlively. These days, people search for challenge, and avoid dullness in life. Avoiding dullness has also been a challenge to some. And at some point, some people find bored days as comfortable, and going away from comfortness is so unattractive. Ironic; finding challenge yet attracted to comfortness.
   
   
2. And again the copying issue. No elaboration. Just that, I refuse to force my daughter to fast on the first few weeks of Ramadhan, just to make sure me and her do not just follow the crowd or for showing off. Funny, that I didn't notice fasting is requested by God. So she did yesterday, congrats!
   
   
3. When one marry a man, she married the whole family. So, when one hate his husband, she'll hate the whole family? Sounds silly and emotional, right? But she must have good reasons for that. Her man is raised by his family, he has their traits physically, mentally and emotionally. Hating him, means hating his traits, means hating his family. Worry not, this is not me, and might not be a she.
   
   
4. Ip Man is such a movie. Ah, the movies. Why am I so bothered over movies and TV? Maybe this is some planned move by some organization to zombie us : la televisión los atonta.
   
   
5. I've start to believe that food is created to make us relax, lazying and think of nothing. Especially delicious ones, where we could easily find them in Penang. Please, the government should consider banning stalls that will trigger our yummy olfactory nerves?
   
   
6. A scientist should seriously planning on building a tool to measure a person's capability. That way, we do not have to wonder if this is the best for us. If I am rated as low, I'd be happy when I touch my ceiling. A tiger can't fly, so don't dream of flying.

I think I'm just tired.

random mandom

my random updates. after being idle for quite a long time. i am seasonal, heheh.

(oh, and my mandom - as in BMelayu's mandom - time, malas nak buat keje)

1. The long CNY holidays - aside from hiking, i cook. Soto as always, my ever favourite dish. The bergedil agak tak menjadi. Will try again one sweet day.

ini sepatutnya rupa bergedil yg jadi tapi yg ni gambar dulu, hari tu tak tangkap gambar.

2. Trip to Taman Rimba for the kid's mandi sungai session tak jadi. Mainly because Shahrun's cousin. Apalah derang ni. We called and invite them to go together and they said ok. When we came to their house waited from 2pm till 5pm, no one move. Lastly all of them bersiap (which i tote they're finally going), tetiba all of them nak pi Queensbay Mall. WTF. My kids has been waiting eagerly to mandi sungai, they've actually bring their pelampung and swim suits.

One of the cousin has a baby, around Ammar's age, and the only outing he had were to the Malls beside to both Nenek's house. Pity him, pi playground pun tak penah. Lantaklah, janji aku geram, anak aku tak dapat mandi sungai.

ammar with confused face : "jadi ke tak jadi nak pi ni, kalau tak kita pi smayang ramai2"

3. Gossip - sebab i have a paper (Metro) in front of me right now (staff punya). Elyana buncit (elyana yg nyayi tak pakai kasut tu). Buncit sebab buatan orang, hmm.. busung. Made me think. alasan baik untuk perut aku yg buncit, hahaha.. (ok, cop. cancel, kang jadi btul2 kang)

aku malas letak gambar elyana or any buncit pic

4. Gaza - when TV3 aired a girl who promised that she'd bomb israel the way they did to her family, it did not surprised me. But, somehow i'd like to think that, this is israel's way of not stopping war to Palestine. The palestinian will always holds grudge against israel and there will always be another Hamas leader who attack Israel, of course, look at what Israel did to them. This is what israel wants, another reason to bomb Palestine.

Special note to Hitler, if u can still hear our living voices, i'll scream to the top of my lung :
"why didn't u kill all of them?????"

5. Pls, pray that i'll be able to watch Puteri Gunung Ledang the Musical this time (season 3 - 6th Feb 2009 to 21st Feb 2009, Istana Budaya, KL) . I think Tiara re-play just for me. I've missed out the first 2 session. Please, i'll beg and cry to my boss, please let me attend course/meeting on february. Read from somewhere that this will be Tiara's last performance as PGL. Hasna nak tengok lagi? Watching with u wud be much fun!

6. wondering what will UMNO be with Najib in charge? Frankly, i don't like his wife, she has this arrogant face with no sincerity even when she spoke about palestinian fund. I'm judging the book by it's cover, but come on, how come the book's title is digimon and the cover pic is cinderella?

and i am an official Microsoft Paint hater. Susah gila nak edit image. Buruk pulak tu.
