Truth be told I been sitting here staring at the screen with my mouth hanging partially open wondering what i shd say... how i shd start? hello world i'm back again after an AWOL time?? urgh~ I am NOT in the mood
anyways, there are other pressing things need to be done other than making inane attempts at inane topics to be inanely discussed... i'm pissed.. seriously.. at whom you ask? u genuinely interested to hear my rantings? as if anyone cares.. oh well u can get the $%@#! out for all i know... i'm seriously pissed wif people's attitude now..why can't we be nice? why can't we give up our precious seats for those preggy ladies or old folks or whoever needs them? why are we rushing ahead uncaringly bumping our limbs(read:butts) or our parcels(read:astronomically-sized bags) to unsuspecting fellows? why must there public display of over affection? For goodness' sake, get a room!!!
Was in the public bus recently and a grp of secondary school boys were seated near yours truly.. i just got down from an extremely crowded mrt filled wif inconsiderate, bumping ppl plus the public displayers, generally speaking, was already disgusted by the time i was seated in the bus and was hopin' & prayin' nothing else happens. What else could happen next, you wonder.. These said group of boys(malay/muslims) were fooling around with each other, making jokes and stuff..at first i couldn't care less..but as it grew louder i could not help but notice they were getting exceptionally pointed..exclusively to one of the boys who was of indian descent.. they were racist remarks such as the skin colour, smell and speaking dialects directed at the poor boy (i was thinkin if these are so-called friends, the poor guy shd just lose them... not worth it)
...am not gonna start another blogging hoo-haa by repeating the remarks anyhow here but i do want this chance to reflect.. in the midst of the malay/muslim remarks being spewed off insensitively.. the malay/muslim boys are behaving as such themselves.. Lemme reiterate here that i do not condone the ragging done by the bloggers but are we behaving in a respectable manner ourselves?
ok, i'm getting too angry & emotional to make sense here but i do hope some points can be taken from the above episode: all in all what me trying to say is check before we go blabbering to other people... do not do unto others what u dun want them to bloody do unto you... oh & please, play nice..

dis time round hubbi had to start fasting in camp..da pooorrrr thing but u know wat, in a way i'm thankful for this separation as it really made me realise just how much this stubborn but fierecely-loving guy means to this stubborn & gorgeously enchanting me..heheh Seriously, it makes me count the seconds till he's coming home, makes me miss him like crazy and remembering him in my prayers & waiting antsily for the phone to ring and it would be him on the other line.. In other words, as though falling back in love all over again...

1st iftar @DA
Went to DA last Saturday for iftar. Been positively ages since I stepped back there and met old chums.. aai picked me up and I guess she just loves challenges for she made me her street navigator.. a) There is no love lost between me & maps. b) Sense of direction..wat da heck is dat?
Through God’s Merciful Graces, we managed to arrive @DA without any major hang-ups although I did manage to make her confused for about 3 times..heh, but fellow readers you would be wrong to think dat I am writing abt me..it was not at least till jiha arrived and laughingly told us she just got knocked down by a van.
Yup! She stood there and told us that it was funny and that it was one of the most embarrassing things to happen in broad daylight among 2000 people milling around looking for food in the nearby bazaar. We were absolutely horrified, and had to drag her amidst her protests to a nearby clinic but it was after 5 and none was open. She appeared relieved. jiha, being jiha she was more concerned of being embarrassed and of not wanting to be a bother. heh, we were worried if there might be any internal injuries for only after iftar she begun to complain of aches.. Oh, I forgot to mention that the van in question sped off making this case a hit & run..
Everyone was worried and so, not taking any of her ‘nonsenses’, we brought her to a nearby 24Hr clinic. The doc looked a bit peeved to see all 3 of us in his room together wif jiha, but hey the person to be concerened wif was jiha & not him.. hehe.. he asked for the whole details and pressed on her arms and her ribs to chk if there might be a fracture but he still told her to get some xray done as a precaution. The doc said no matter how small the injuries are, it is imperative to record details of the driver or the very least the license plate.. all we know dat it was a blue van.. poor jiha she looked very scared when she heard dat her aches could be serious. We immediately decided to get her to a&e on the very same nite & dat she shd inform her parents. She sounded shaky so we thot it was better dat I talked to her mum before her mum unnecessarily panicked & called the whole bandwagon.
@ the a&e it was another 2 hours wait..seemed like the whole eastern part of spore was having a gathering.. she went in wif kak yati while me (wif the classified section- looking for job) & aai, yakked our heads off outside. After the xray had been done she was told she was clear & besides initial shock, it was only her muscles suffering the stretch..They made a police report there too & jiha got her wish, cute police officers taking down her statement.. hehe..
At first we half-seriously thinking of going mustafa & sahur outside but i think we have had enuf excitement for one day and much needed the rest, so I finally got home at abt half past midnite courtesy of aai driving but at least wif a heart not so heavy knowing jiha is not in any danger..

Point of View
"Men are comic", she said, smiling dreamily. Not knowing whether this indicated praise or blame, I answered noncommittantly: "Quite true."
"Really, my husband's a regular Othello. Sometimes I'm sorry I married him."
I looked helplessly at her. "until you explain--" I began.
"Oh, I forgot that you haven't heard. About three weeks ago, I was walking home with my husband through the square. I had a large black hat on, which suits me awfully well, and my cheeks were quite pink from walking. As we passed under a streetlight, a pale , dark-haired fellow standing nearby glanced at me and suddenly took my husband by his sleeve.
"Would you oblige me with a light," he says. Alexander pulled his arm away, stooped down and quicker than lightning, banged him on the head with a brick. He fell like a log. Awful!"
"Why, what on earth made your husband get jealous all of a sudden?" She shrugged her shoulders. "I told you men are very comic."
Bidding her farewell, I went out, and at the corner came across her husband.
"Hello, old chap," I said. "They tell me you've been breaking people's heads."
He burst out laughing. "So you've talking to my wife. It was jolly lucky that brick came to pat into my hand. Otherwise, just think: I had about fifteen hundred rubles in my pocket, and my wife was wearing her diamond earrings."
"Do you think he wanted to rob you?"
"A man accosts you in a deserted spot, asks for a light, and gets hold of your arm. What more do you want?"
Perplexed, I left him and walked on.
"There's no catching you today," I heard a voice say from behind.
I looked around and saw a friend I hadn't set eyes upon for three weeks.
"Lord!" I exclaimed. "What on earth has happened to you?"
He smiled faintly and asked in turn: "Do you know whether any lunatics have been at large lately? I was attacked by one three weeks ago. I left the hospital only today."
With sudden interest, I asked: "Three weeks ago? Were you sitting in the square?"
"Yes, I was. The most absurd thing. I was sitting in the square, dying for a smoke. No matches! After ten minutes or so, a gentleman passed with some old hag. He was smoking. I go up to him, touch him on the sleeve and ask in my most polite manner: "Can you oblige me with a light?" And what do you think? The mad man stoops down, picks something up, and the next moment I am lying on the ground with a broken head, unconscious. You probably read about it in the newspapers."
I looked at him and asked earnestly: "Do you really believe you met up with a lunatic?"
"I am sure of it."
Anyhow, afterwards I was eagerly digging in old back numbers of the local paper. At last I found what I was looking for: A short note in the accident column.
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRINK
Yesterday morning, the keepers of the square found on a bench ayoung man whose parents show him to be of good family. He had evidently fallen to the ground while in a state of extreme intoxication, and had broken his head on a nearby brick. The distress of the prodigal's parents is indescribable.

What do you see?
Do you see someone
trying to do better
to be better?
Or someone
pretending to be better

A day to remember
Supposed to be a good day. one of my junior cousins from the Kutty Klan got married…
I woke up on the wrong side of bed, or perhaps pms… whatever the reason was, it was not good enuf to excuse my behaviour.. I was a bit of Miss Attitude (chk out the capital A).. in fact it was inexcusable… very ashamed in fact for making such a hoo-ha of it.. Now I’m not interested in rehashing the whole episode, I’m just so embarrassed and appalled at myself..
Sorry dearest kuz, u know who u are…. U definitely did not deserve dat. I really intend to help, but all I saw was “red” dis way and dat and I guess, I listened to the devil’s whispering sweet nothings much too much, thus i made the situation worse. Sitting alone in front of the PC now, I wish, I wish, I wish I could turn back the clock and make sure I behave better… well nasi dah jadi bubur, serves me rite?
Even though u’re much younger than me but u’re a much bigger person for forgiving and overlooking my shamefully childish behaviour…
Moral of the story: I’ll never show myself in public until my Miss A is in check and out of the picture..

Met up wif MaK for some bit of shopping in bedok then we went on to meet aBaH @ Yaasalam for dinner last evening. I came from JW & MaK sportingly agreed to take bus and meet me @the interchange which she normally wouldn't do unless aBaH is driving. very grateful..Ordered a bouquet for my cousin's wedding dis weekend too.
Looking back, funny how nowadays I'm counting more & more on MaK & aBaH..well more on MaK. I could still remember the time I wouldn't be caught dead shopping @ NTUC wif MaK on tow instructing me to fetch dis & dat. It even got on the verge of taboo if one is enjoying dinner wif the said set of parents.
Well, perhaps MaK's recent sickness had slapped me the fact of one's mortality directly on my face. Or perhaps the recent status i 'd acquired dat made me realise - my parents are normal people who have considerably great insights on world events like the recent hurricane katrina. Or, perhaps my mom's missing me more since i'm no longer under 1 roof & she can't nag me as usual on my sloppiness in fixing hubbi's food & clothes. I could go on & on... Thank you ALLAH for all the blessings you've given me & my family. Please keep all of my family, relatives & friends in constant good health & situation. Please guide us in the busy-ness of our daily pursuits so as dat we do not forget YOU and may we always be striving in YOUR cause, Insyaa ALLAH..

Saturday, June 11
Did something today dat reminded me of my holiday@factory job... routine, line production thingy and how i'm looking for reasons any reason at all to escape the drudgery of the mundane work. Went to the bathroom, ate a little bit, watch tv too but in thend, I resolved, well, i gotta do what mom said I gotta do or else... (you're welcome to fill in the blanks)
Oh.. Juz realized dat i've been goin on & on whereas had not really specified what the monkeyshine it's all about. I had been folding 200 plastic bags to hold chocs & sweets to be given out on the 19th.. Well granny's been a tremendous help by tying up those plastic potpourries of saccharines. It's no mean feat, I tell you. I believe two pats on the backs are on order for the both of us...

more to come...
Huwaaargghhhhh....
Finished re-painting my room in PR, okay not really finished, less than a quarter of a wall left to paint but I ran out of paint... used the no-lizard quality paint. My mom called it "cicak jalan jatuh" cat. It's a new colour like a light summer sky blue-turqoise...I like it, but i like the turqoise version we used in JW. Plain Brilliance!
I was enormously exhausted... hey it's no easy task especially juggling wif the paint, roller and trying not to fall off the ladder. I've been having this niggling pain in between my right eyebrow and my little forehead & juz now dat pain came back wif a vengeance.. I had to lie down and massage a little but the pain juz worsened and I'd half expect dat one of the veins had been building up pressure and burst out blood down on the side (no thanks to my vivid & colourful imagination). No joke, it IS major pain in the neck, i hate getting headaches especially when there are tonnes of things to do. In the end of tossing and turning, I popped some pills & slept it off hoping & praying that the blistering pain would wear off. It wore off all right, not much though & a fever to boot but at least I'm grateful I was able to lift my head up & jot in this blog now..
Kay, I need to save myself for tomorrow's newest (mis)adventure.. Aai, I'll insyaa Allah go to DA tomorrow and pass the cards there... Very truly, deeply & madly sorry for dis last minute thingy but things HAVE been crazy here... Miss u too!

was wif my sis the other day at Mac. Initial plan to keep her company as she's doing her work on her lappie. In the end, I had to wait for her for nearly 3 hours!! Nasib baik adik akoo.. heh...
While waiting for Her Highness arrival, I finished a cookbook by Nigella Lawson.. It's not exactly a cookbook and i meant it on the style it's written. It's exactly as though I was watching repeated broadcasts of Nigella's Bites. Very quirky, real-life, un-preachy sort of style though i doubt i've half her tenacity in using dozens of ziplock bags for marinating beef/lamb/chicken/birds... But what i like is that, the cooking's simple as though they're cooked up in mind for people like me who can't boil water without having the pot all burnt up. Well, it certainly has renewed my aim to cook for dear husband but i think i'll start on something small like peanut butter & banana on toast?? heheh.. one teeny step for me, a giant leap for mankind(not the extremely hungry ones, dat is!)
Two things i did learn though:
1. Macdonald has free internet surfing access..
2. Reading cookbooks in a fast-food restaurant is not such a good idea especially on empty stomach while waiting for someone to arrive.

baby blue
Just came back from visiting Hasanah to see her new bundle of joy..a girl.. the 1st is a boy... think she sort of has a complete set already.. I went wif Syiqin & her husband and the little Fathin Nadhrah.. already 11 months old and has 5 strong (& i do mean strong!) teeth. Very wary of strangers. She kept staring at hubbi and she hates spectacles/sunglasses of any kind. Hubbi tried to put on his sunglasses on her and she immediately cried out for help. Since then she kept one suspicious eye on hubbi... kesian hubbi.... try to coax her pun tak jalan....
The baby's cute, quite tall for her age @ 2 weeks' old. Hasanah the mother of course very radiant and she couldn't bear to put her baby down. But she dreaded the time when the baby got bigger and begs to be carried everytime.
*sighhhh*.. babies so sweet the smell...Is my biological clock tick-tocking now..?

The starhub-man can....
The *hub man came by this afternoon to diagnose my internet service(the lack of it, actually) problem. The modem only had the power lite on whereas a good hardwerking modem should have all 4 lites on as i was told. He has this contraption oscilloscope-cum-digital multimeter that reminded me of my TP days and checked every cable point in the house. He went outside to probe at this locked box which he opened with his own key then he came back quickly to us with a wry smile... "You got enemies arr?" We were shocked when he showed us that the tv cable was hanging out of its rightful socket. He inserted it back in and voila, internet was back on like nothing had ever happened.. (the TV was also having problems whereby no picture shown in every known channel. And it came back alive & kicking)
We'd asked the man, can anybody just open the box and he said only if he has the key which belonged to them people. The cable was seen jutting out from the box and we checked that it is quite impossible to pull it accidentally out as the cable end is the screw-on type... what could've happened? How did the cable mysteriously get screwed out of its socket? Which deranged mind could have commit such heinous act?? ok ok i exaggerated. But this enigmatic cable-puller had limited me from my unlimited internet subscription.
My mom quietly suggested could it be that I was watching TV into the wee hours of morning and maybe had the volume turned a tad too high and that might irritate some neighbours. And this neighbour happened to have the key (maybe he worked with the cable company) or who has a skeleton key (or maybe he was a locksmith) and pulled the cable out.. Far-fetched?? Perhaps... But then again, perhaps not... If so, ppl, beware we have a serial cable-puller on the loose who hates noises from TV even one that's turned up low. He'd do anyting and everything to deprive unsuspecting, innocent citizens of the box...

lenger punya kes...
One of the kebods (keje bodoh) of the day.
Was very tired & very sleepy.
Was asleep on bus 21.
Was definitely & absolutely unaware of surrounding.
Was aghast to find the tudung a bit wet with drool.
Wait.... that wasn't the kebod..
Was awake when the bus reached tampines but went on asleep anyway.
Was uber-shocked wheb found self all alone on the double-decked bus, and the bus was reversing into a parking space.
Was hurrying down the stair well when self unconciously wailed out "waaaaaaaaiiiiitttttttttttttt, unk-cleeeeeeeeeeee... i'm still he-reeeeeeeee!"
Was crimson red in the face as uncle chuckled and said.. " ohhh...upstairs sleeping aaarrr?!"

pembawaan budak
Few times, I caught myself humming Barney songs.. A medley of them!! I'm humming them at work, waiting for the train/bus, at supermarket while lining up at the cashier till the lady in front turned to stare, in the bathroom while showering... jumping jack, what kind of spell had the purple dinosaur weave that even innocent unsuspecting adults are bewitched... The show ought to be rated! Tsk tsk, talk about work hazards...

Not for the faint-hearted nor is this for those born without a good sized funnybone. Not say I wanna say but dun say I never say...
