Au Naturale

Today I went for an interview in TJB Tower at a chartered accountant firm. Originally I planned to drive there but at the last minute decided to tumpang my Dad and Mom on their way out. Malaslah nak find parking space lagi... Nayniss was with my parents too.

I was done at about 11 something, called my dad sebab dia suruh call kalau dah habis. He told me dia ada dekat post office, which was actually in that area juga. Dia kata tunggu la, kalau tak, jalan sikit to the post office, and I opted to walk lah... that's just me, daripada tunggu baik la jalan, bukan jauh sangat.. I love walking anyway..

So there I was, walking slowly.. oh, and very professionally dressed. Black suit gitu. Ngan beg 'corporate' tu..So bila dah nak lalu belakang mahkamah tu, there was this man, middle age gitu, tengah jalan and staring at me, dah sampai dekat he nodded and smiled.. friendly nod la.. hehehe. tak pelik plak aku kan, tetiba je.. dalam hati kata ni mesti dia ingat aku ni lawyer gaknya nak gi court, ada hearing ke pebender gitu... so aku yang amat noble lagi dignified ni angguk and smile sekali lalu gitu.. friendly the elegant way lah konon-kononnya hahaha..

dah nak sampai depan pintu court tu, ada another lady, was on the phone, pun lawyer gak la, dengan suit dia, dengan folders dia, was speaking on the phone... eh sempat plak, senyum, angkat kening kat aku... terangguk-angguk kepala.. hehehe... So, the same thing, smile, nod and continue walking steadily..

paling tak tahan, dah betul-betul depan pintu court.. kahkahkahkahkah.. ada policemen dalam kereta, tengah berbual sorang pandang ke hala jalan, nampak myself walking, siap senyum ngan angkat tangan.. warghahahhaha.. time tu rasa cam aku ni High Court Judge pun ada hehehehehehe.. dan untuk kesekian kalinya, I nodded and smiled... rasa macam VVIP pun ader hahahaha.. padahal aku tengah nak ngejar my Dad, takut dia dah keluar dari PO kang naya lak..

abissssss, nak buat cemana.. dah memang naturally camtu.. bukan dignity and integrity je, but also have the air of aristocracy hehehe...born with that. tu yang malas buh gambar ke apa kat memana.. payah. takleh handle la, attention cam gini.. tapi hehehehe.. kalau dah memang noble tu, takyah buat apa-apa, it's juz there. kalau dah memang tak tu, buatlah cemana pun, kantoi gak la kan...memang nampak la flaw, cover cemana pun. But I do believe strongly in the principle of substance over form.

tapi bila diri sebelah dia ni...

dah memang sah la both automatically kena describe as 'Aristocrats'... hehehe... that's what we call 'Au Naturale'.

Huhu, sorry, hari ni I tak modest la :p

What Year Are You?

See I found this in the Astro TV Guide for the February issue. This is the predictions for the year ahead by Feng Shui Expert, Master Yu Yang from Taiwan.

And I, was born in the Year Of Rabbit :

CAREER ***
LOVE *****
HEALTH **

A good year to get married or find the perfect partner. The Rabbit will also enjoy support from family and friends and will thrive at work, although there are some challenges that need to be dealt with. Stay away from gossip-mongers and avoid boasting about your achievements as there are many back stabbers in your midst.

Now, he, was born in the Year Of Rooster:

CAREER **
LOVE *****
HEALTH ****

A good year for love and health, although the male Rooster may be caught in the middle of a love triangle - so don't forget your morals. The female Rooster may miss a number of good opportunities, no thanks to her indecisiveness. but wearing a good jewellery in the shape of a dragon can help improve your luck.

Notes :

1. Well, I am pleased to know that it's a good year to get married/find perfect partner. So it seems for the Rooster.
2. Male Rooster may be caught in love triangle? Really? Like between wife and girlfriend? *wink*

3. The Rabbit need to deal with some challenges. Oh well, this rabbit does love challenges.

4. "Stay away from gossip-mongers and avoid boasting about your achievements as there are many back stabbers in your midst" Oh yes, yes YES. DULY NOTED. And thank you for the friendly reminder.

Kejam dan Zalim Part II

He called me around 8 pm something just now as I was busy arranging my storybooks in my room. So we were talking about this unfortunate prominent someone who was involved in the "VCD" scandal.

Generally I was in agreement with him, in saying that there are many prominent people out there who did the same thing (or even worse) but this one person has clearly been set up by someone with a motive. He just got very unlucky, that's all.

I said " Yalah, it's something too common. It's like everbody's doing it. Semua orang pun, especially prominent ones, tak kira Malay ke, Chinese ke, Indian ke, mesti ada buat kerja gitu. Clearly, it's so wrong, but he's not alone definitely."

Eh, dia quickly potong cakap I. Dia kata "Well, I have to disagree with you on that.. on saying everybody's doing it...." (he said this in a very indescribably irritating way. Eleh, dia nak kata dia tak macam gitu lah, ces nak promote diri konon. And I, with the speed of light cut him ..)

"Oh yes, you of course lah tidak, I know you tak buat kerja macam tu, because no sane woman would want to sleep with you".

Lepas tu dia gelak-gelak la, konon nak cover. But I know I did make him bleed inside.

PADAN MUKA, siapa suruh tak reti-reti. Nak cakap, cakap ajelah. Tak payahlah nak pancing undi, takde siapa nak vote muka engkau tu (ni dah habis geram lah ni). I wouldn't mind talking to him, tapi for the love of God, please quit trying.

Sorry, man. You're Dead On Arrival.

Kejam dan Zalim?

"Kau memang kejam. Macam Nazi."

Itu kata-kata Red Devil, when I told her about him. Remember, I told you about that guy, who kinda annoyed me to the max?

This is what. He called me on December 31st, afternoon, konon nak wish Happy New Year. I took his call because it looked like he has learnt some lessons lah kan. But he sounded, like, so ill. You know, suara dia slow, cakap pun tak berapa clear. And me, being me, tak buang masa, terus attack.

"You ni kenapa? Sakit?"

"Yalah, sakit. Demam lah. Since yesterday. But I'm like 70-80% recovered."

Cheh, you want to fish for attention, go elsewhere lah ya. Because, Number One, I do not really like you. And you are just another friend. Number Two, kalau I layan, you menjadi-jadi. So...

"Macam mana boleh demam? You kena hujan ke?" (And I said this in a sympathetic tone.. baik je bunyi heheheheh...)

"Yalah.. kena hujan.. teruklah..."

And...

"Hahah... kena hujan pun boleh demam? Malulah sikit, I yang perempuan ni pun tak selembik you (paling teruk pun pening kepala je tapi aku tak cakaplah kat orang tua ni). I rasa you're getting old, that's why."

"Yalah... I dah tua..." (konon buat suara sedih... apa, ingat I kesian?)

Some more...

"Ke you pergi party all night long on Christmas? Hangover?"

"Must be that as well... Haiya teruklah" (Tak putus asa nampaknya.. nak pancing kesian. Hai entah siapalah cikgu yang mengajar dia ni)

"You ni, dah tua macam ni pun nak party all night lagi ke? I yang much younger ni pun taklah gila pergi party like you. Sedarlah you are no longer young like you used to be. Dah tua."

"Yalah.. I ni tua.. anyway just call to wish you Happy New Year. All the best, okay". He said this dengan suara terbatuk-batuk... menunjukkan how much he was in pain, konon-konon-kononnya..

During the whole conversation, I was like, laughing non-stop. He noticed that, apparently for he said "Wah, you betul-betul suka eh, I sakit. You ketawa saja eh?".

"Eh, mestilah suka... selalu you sound so alive and you know, so okay. So when you sound so weak, mestilah I suka." And I continued laughing....

"Yalah, yalah. So okay, you take care..."

"Wait, wait. Nak letak dah ke? Tell me, malam ni you pergi mana nak celebrate New Year?" (and after this I ketawakan dia lagi banyak-banyak-banyak.

"Yalah, ketawalah.." he said.

"Okay call me back whenever you are not feeling well. Nanti boleh I ketawa lagi. Ingat tu, when you're not feeling well. Not when you are feeling better. Okay? Happy New Year. Bye."

So that was that. Remember I said, I could be cruel and I could be mean. Itu pun sikit saja tu. Well, siapa suruh buat tak faham bahasa.

Yes, I boleh jadi kejam dan zalim when the need arises. For very good reasons. And in this case, I do not want to encourage him further. For his own good juga. Hai tak payahlah nak fishing with kindness and sweet words. Like my Jedi Master said, DULY NOTED. Sorry.

Thomas and Kampung Boy

You guys say what you like, but none of it will stop me from declaring that I am now a die-hard fan of Thomas The Tank Engine (Channel 613) and Kampung Boy Cartoon (Channel 611) in ASTRO. Oh, and Thomas in Kids Central in MediaCorp, too. (MediaCorp = Singapore Broadcasting Corporation).

At first, I cuma temankan my niece watch the cartoon and all. Tapi nampaknya sekarang I dah melampaui batas. Mengalahkan my niece la pulak.. I sampai hafal the schedules for Barney and Noddy, okay ('tak sengaja'ly).

Well, Kampung Boy tu memang tak payah katalah.. I've been reading LAT's since the age of three. By read, I mean READ. I could read since I was three, no joke.

Tak kisahlah, nak kutuk, kutuklah. Tapi sebelum mengutuk, cuba tengok dulu Kampung Boy, Thomas or even Noddy. Lepas tu, jangan addicted sudahlah. (But I especially like the singing part in Thomas, since I have great singing voice, ahem!)

Here's the link for anyone interested to see : http://www.thomasandfriends.com/uk/thomas_the_tank_engine_uk_website_homepage.html

They're two they're four they're six they're eight

Shunting trucks and hauling freight

Red and green and brown and blue

They're the really useful crew

All with different roles to play

Round Tidmouth sheds or far away,

Down the hills and round the bends

Thomas and his friends

Thomas he's the cheeky one

James is vain but lots of fun

Percy pulls the mail on time

Gordon thunders down the line

Emily really knows her stuff

Henry toots and huffs and puffs

Edward wants to help and share

Toby, well let's say, he's square

They're two they're four they're six they're eight

Shunting trucks and hauling freight

Red and green and brown and blue

They're the really useful crew

All with different roles to play

Round Tidmouths or far away

Down the hills and round the bends

Thomas and his friends

Annoyed

I am extremely annoyed with someone.

I hope that person will change in time. For own sake. Kalau tidak, God bless. Tanggunglah sendiri.

I know that person try to make me look bad behind my back. But I am not worried. Allah knows. What goes around comes around.

He Wasn't Man Enough For Me

He Wasn't Man Enough For Me
Toni Braxton

Who do you think I am?
Don't you know that he was my man?
But I chose to let him go
So why do you act like I still care about him?

Looking at me like I'm hurt
When I'm the one who said I didn't want it to work
Don't you forget I had him first?

Whatcha' thinking
Stop blaming me
He wasn't man enough for me
If you don't know now is your chance
I already had your man
Do you wonder just where he's been
And I'd be worried about him
Now it's time you know the truth
I think he's just the man for you

(chorus)What are you thinking
Do you know about us back then
Do you know I dumped your husband
Girlfriend
I'm not thinking 'bout him
But you married him :)
Do you know I made him leave
Do you know he begged to stay, with me (with me)
He wasn't man enough for me

Didn't he tell you the truth
If not, then why don't you ask him
And maybe you could be more into him
Instead of worrying 'bout me
And hopefully, you won't find :)
All of the reasons why his love didn't count
And why we couldn't work it out

Whatcha' thinking
Stop blaming me
He wasn't man enough for me
If you don't know now, now is your chance
See, I already had your man
Do you wonder just where he's been
And I'd be worried about him
Now it's time you know the truth
I think he's just the man for you

What are you thinking
Do you know about us back then
Do you know I dumped your husband
Girlfriend
I'm not thinking 'bout him
But you married him
Do you know I made him leave
Do you know he begged to stay, with me
He wasn't man enough for me

So many reasons why our love is through (yeah)
What makes you think he'll be good to you (no)
It makes no sense'
Cause he will never change
Girl you better recognize the game oooohhhh- yeah

What are you thinking (why did he ask me to come back oh)
Do you know about us back then (beggin' me to stay)
Do you know I dumped your husband
Girlfriend
I'm not thinking 'bout him
But you married him
Do you know I made him leave
Do you know he begged to stay, with me
He wasn't man enough for me

Note : Hehe, still here. As I was driving home this morning, I heard this song at Mix FM. It brought back the memories of TWO separate things.

1. This song has hurt the Mighty Jedi Knight of mine. While talking to him, entah macam mana I boleh terlepas kata "because you are not man enough for me". I was joking, as always.. biasalah mulut I mana ada filter. I cakap sebab I teringat this song. And he was sulking for days... Pujuk? Takde mananya.. Bila dia dah macam tu, I biarkan aje. Nanti dia pandailah dia okay sendiri. Nasiblah, orang main-main aje. Sapa suruh terpeleot.

2. This song reminds me of someone yang ingat I still have feelings for her hubby. Heheheheh. I think not many know about this, except maybe my siblings. Memang TEPAT SEKALI, especially those highlighted words. Memang he wasn't enough for me, and memangnya he's just the man for her. Hehehehehehehe.

3. (a) To his Mom ~ Hello Auntie, ATTENTION PLEASE. I am not interested, your son is pure crap.

(b)To his Wifey ~ Girl, he's just the man for you. [to be read with (a) above]

Alahai....

My longtime best friend called me tonight, and we had a lengthy chat. One of her latest updates being that she just went to a job interview with some "state-owned corporation". On the application form, when required to write down father's name, she simply wrote her father's name without any accompanying title. But unfortunately for her, apparently one of the interviewers did know her father well.

If you were to be in her place, what would you say when asked "Kenapa you tak letak Dato' dekat nama father you?"

A. Saja aje.

B. Lupa.

C. Tak apelah (while giggling like an idiot)

D. Rasanya tak perlulah.

Well, if I were to be in that situation, I guess my answer would be :

E. Itu bukannya nama dia.

Betul, kan? Dah kalau dia kata father's name, then it is presumably father's name as in NRIC lah kan? Or birth cert for that matter. Itulah dia kalau state-owned corporation, always care about these petty-petty irrelevant things... Alaaaahaiii.. ...

Amused

Sometimes when we choose to keep quiet on certain matters, not wanting to be involved, people think we are actually SCARED of them. This amuses me no end, because as for myself, the actual reason for me staying away is that I do not wish to be associated with someone else's major stupidity. Yet they think I am scared... if only they knew how much laughter I had... *smiles*

SHAME ON YOU

The funniest thing happened on Sunday. Some of you may know about this one so-called relative of mine, yang dulu dah buat pasal dengan I and kononnya nak fish for influence from other relatives to pulaukan I and ended up being a social outcast-their entire family. And busily using black magic pulak tu....

anyways, these lowest form of life people , they came to my house on Sunday, the cover story being to visit my grandmother yang sedang sakit. (read : diaorang tu sebenarnya dah bosan dan mati kutu hidup dalam buangan, so mulalah nak piggy-back semula on my parents, resources pun dah berkurangan, high time lah nak renew the "family ties" kan)

Lucky for them, I did not get the opportunity to meet them, otherwise I would tell them exactly like what I write in the above bracket. I laughed out loud when I was told of their visit. Datanglah menyerupa wajah apa-apa pun, sekali-kali I tak akan terpedaya, not one split second. NEVER EVER. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Jawapnya Shame On You lah...

Usah Bertinggung Tengah Halaman

Duri Semalu Liar Tumbuhnya
Usah Sekali Salah Tembakan
Iri Cemburu Buruk Padahnya

Anak Seluang Terenang-renang
Teratai Di Kolam Harum Mewangi

Mengadu Domba Sewenang-wenang

Salah Tembakan Diri Terkeji

Usah Berani Bertikam Bicara
Jikalau Lisan Bersulam Dusta
Usah Diri Mereka Cerita
Tiba Masanya Diri Merana

Apa Di Telek Emas Dan Intan
Bukanlah Ia Jadi Ukuran
Apalah Gila Dirimu Tuan

Ludahan Sendiri Jadi Jilatan?

If There Was A Man...

If There Was a Man
Performed by Chrissie Hynde & The Pretenders

If there was a man I could dream of,
I'd dream about a dream come true
If there was a man I could ever love,
I'd wait a million years for someone just like you

All my life I've been belated
Never taking any chances...always hesitating
Where's the payoff? Where's the glory?
Where's the one I'm holding out for?
Was he walking through the door,
The one that you walked through...if it isn`t you?

If there was a man I could dream of,
I'd dream about a dream come true
If there was a man I could ever love,
I'd wait a million years for someone just like you

Happy endings never find me!
I'd put all my fantasies and hopes of love behind me
All my moments overdue but...

If there was a man out there for me
I wish it would be someone who could love me true
If someone was you.


yeah, still on my Mr. Bond... this song is part of the soundtrack for The Living Daylights. It is played at the very last part, bila cerita dah habis. I like this one, tapi.. hehehe sekali dengar macam kelakar pun ada.. alahai so unfortunate and so, so pathetic hehehe... tapi takpelah Timothy Dalton punya pasal, semua pun boleh. *wink*

For My Jedi Knight

Pada Syurga Di Wajah Mu

(Nash/Lefthanded)

Tuhan sengaja menduga kita

Di mana kesabaran manusia

Engkau isteri yang ku sanjungi

Lambang semangat cinta dunia

Pasti engkau terkenangkan

Peristiwa semalam

Saatku menggadaikan cinta

Pada onak dan duri asmara

Entah di mana akal fikiran

Hingga sesat di jalan yang terang

Ini suratan yang diberikan

Menguji kekuatan jiwa

Waktu engkau ku lupakan

Dalam kemarau cinta

Betapa hatimu rela

Demi melihatku bahagia

Kau menahan segala siksa

Di hati hanya berdoa

Mengharapkan aku kan pulang

Agar terang cahaya

Ku yang hanyut di arus dosa

Di laut ribut melanda

Dan berenang ke pelabuhan

Kasih sayang sebenar

Air mata cinta darimu

Ku menjadi rindu

Pada syurga di wajahmu

Tiada tanda kau berdosa

Biar aku cium tangan mu

Membasuh lumpur di muka

Ku yang hanyut berarus dosa

Di laut ribut melanda

Kau menahan segala siksa

Di hati hanya berdoa

Ku berenang ke pelabuhan

Mencari cinta sebenar

Kan ku tahan apa hukuman

Di hati hanya berdoa

Biar aku cium tangan mu

Sekali lagi bersama

Bukan sekali jalan berduri

Hanya Tuhan yang pasti

Mengerti...

And this one is for you, Jedi Knight hehehe. You tak boleh marah, you kena bersabar. Tuhan sentiasa menduga kesabaran manusia. Tapi kan, kalau you marah pun I tak takut. Look at the lyrics...applicable isn't it? Upps.. maaf zahir dan batin.

Jatuh

Saturday evening, was scrubbing the balcony.. the floor was all wet and slippery, bersabun segala.. entah di mana silap langkah dan perkiraan.. I hilang pertimbangan and.. GEDEBAK! Jatuh terhentak ke belakang... nasib baik cekap balancing, so kepala tak terlentang ke lantai...cuma badan saja. Now that was a VERY bad fall.. my whole body is aching now.. sengal-sengal. Kalau sedang duduk nak berdiri Tuhan sahaja yang tau betapa siksanya.

Tomorrow my Mom has arranged for a traditional massage. Berurutlah kiranya, dengan this one Hajjah yang memang biasa mengurut orang. Bukan apa, cuma nak tengok kalau ada cedera di mana-mana. Masa lepas jatuh tu I terus bangun berdiri. Jedi lah katakan.. tapi redha sebab mungkin I terlampau jahat sangat heheh.. lagipun macam dah lama sangat tak jatuh.. so that was my share lah kot.

Mula-mula ngeri juga sebab terhentak. Risau kalau kalau cedera tulang teruk. Tapi terfikir pula kalau dah patah riuk mana boleh berdiri tegak. Hehehehe. Paranoid! My aunt advised me to see a doctor, just in case. Erm, nanti I pergilah kot.. hehehe.

I also love this...

From today's The Star :

SCORPIO (Oct 24 - Nov 22) Unusual conditions involving faraway places or people make this a lively day. You get something you have been hoping for.

I don't really read the Starscope everyday. But I just finished re-reading The Best Laid Plans by Sidney Sheldon. So I decided to take a glance at today's Starscope and tadaaaaa! I like that very much *grins*.

Baju Raya

Belumpun masuk bulan Ramadhan, Cik Suraya dah sibuk cerita pasal baju raya. Eh mestilah, sebab... orang lain punya dah pun siap, I punya masih dalam bentuk asal seperti di atas. Belum hantar ke tailor pun.

Yang warna merah tu entahlah silk apa entah... yang putih silver tu kononnya I was told it is a Songket Pakistan. Sebelum ni tak tau pun about the existence of Songket Pakistan. Selain daripada Songket Terengganu I pernah dengar Songket Palembang. But not Pakistan. Sebenarnya kan, I nak yang warna pink campur oren tau.. cantik sangat! Walaupun shade dia lembut tapi dia shiny, so sangatlah elegant looking. Tapi tak cukup, kain dia tinggal sikit. So konon nak light yellow lah kan.. PUN DAH HABIS JUGAK! Then adalah this dark blue and turqoise, tapi belek punya belek rasa cam uh-uh gelap sangat (but actually the color was very classy-looking). Akhirnya hentam ambil yang white-silverish tu.

Close-up on the pattern of my Songket Pakistan

I pun tak tahu macamana boleh terfikir nak beli songket. Like I said, I dah confused to the max. My Mom suggested that I get the sutera yang ada batu-batu tu. Tak mau lah. Leceh lagi pun nak jaga. Jalan sana jalan sini itu yang terjumpa songket. Hentamlah hai... Tapi sebenarnya what will happen is, I akan hantar ke tailor kain yang warna merah tu saja. And maybe sepasang kain lain.

Yang songket tu.. uh.. nanti-nantilah hehehe. Tak tergamak nak buat kebaya selagi tak mencapai weight reduction target! That's me, biarlah I pakai baju kurung simple, daripada berkebaya tapi nampak macam orang pakai bush-jacket. Hahahahahahaha... biarlah tak nampak bergaya daripada serabai mabai nak bergaya tak jadi. Fussy? Well, yes. Very, in this sense.

Kerana sebab yang sama jugalah I ada banyak sangat kain ela yang belum menjelma menjadi baju kurung atau kebaya. Kebanyakannya adalah gift from my Dad and Mom. Yang dulu-dulu pun ada lagi. Sayang ooo nak buat baju takut bila dah jadi baju nanti, sakit hati sendiri bila tengok cermin. Hahahahahahahaaha!

Kain Songket Dan Kain Kosong yang masih belum jadi apa-apa...

Kain Songket and my new Songket :)

Yang ni semua tak ingat kain jenis apa, tapi
mesti ada lining sebab jarang..

Some of my batik.. ada batik Indonesia dan
ada batik Terengganu.. pun belum jadi baju.

So, you guys macam mana? Tentu semua dah siap baju raya, kan? Dan mesti banyak dan berwarna warni. Hm, I wonder apa agaknya warna baju raya my Jedi Knight? Dark Red? *wink*

Bored

Yeah I am bored beyond words. Been watching the movie channels for days now. Among the movies that I watched were Dante's Peak, St. Elmo's Fire (I was googling this coz I like the love theme), Jurassic Park III, 7 Perhentian, Gubra, The Bone Collector.

Found this book. I bought this in the UK years ago. I flipped the pages looking for ideas. Not too bad. Got some ideas for scrapbooking.

Just now I noticed he put some photos in his site. And why do I get this really strong feeling that those are for my benefit? *wink* It's something that I can immediately know simply by looking at their eyes. The eyes communicate something, that much is true. Hehehehe.. susah-susah aje.. terima kasih, ya :).

See, I told him to his face that he was ancient and will become warga emas pretty soon. Yes, that, I did. And I told him that he really needs to be selective in choosing women to bed, as it is evidently contagious. And I told him I pity his wife and daughter everytime he had a nightstop.

And that is why someone is being so defensive. Siap letak gambar lagi, just to prove his capabilities and so-called popularity. How immature. *smiles* Nak sedapkan hati sendiri, ya?

Sorrylah my dear, like I said, I am in a different class from you. I don't think what you are doing now signifies that you are popular, or a world class playboy or anything (first class hypocrite, yes, God help your wife). Truly popular and glamorous people don't do that lah. They just don't. They don't advertise themselves.

But I am amused. You are having a mid-life crisis, a serious one. And by the way, that lady is.. uh.. chubby, isn't she? Puffy, I'd say. *grins* Is that your definition of 'pretty and sexy'? Yeah well you scare me. Honey, you are really immature! B...o...r..i...n..g.

Why, eh?

The following scenes are based from my very own observation. I am not too sure if we could blame the age factor...

1) I tengok orang-orang yang berumur 40 years and above.. cara mereka cakap tentang sesuatu macam lebih kepada berleter - or like mengomel ke apa. Tapi tak semualah yang begitu.. some women aged 40 above masih maintain their way of speaking. Very articulate, that is. But the rest, the moment they start speaking.. tak terkata aku dibuatnya. One most recent conversation I had was like this. I was speaking to a man, aged 45. After a while talking over the phone, he had to excuse himself to get ready for work. "Okaylah Dear, I nak mandi-mandi, I nak cuci-cuci.......etc". Tak menyeringai pulak aku kan, nasib baik dalam phone. Tu pun macam nak tersembur gelak gak lak kan. Heheheheh.

Gelihati because I just don't speak like that. Kalau nak mandi, I'd say, okaylah I wanna have a shower.. or I nak mandi. Kalau nak ke supermarket, I would simply say I wanna buy things or groceries or toiletteries. Just that. Not "I nak pergi supermarket, nak cari sayur-sayur sikit, buah-buah sikit, ikan, daging.........................". Hadoi, boleh menyembur gelak dibuatnya.

2) Pernah tak perasan yang golongan begini (40 ke atas) kalau dia bagi estimation, selalunya tak berapa reliable? Like for instance, a man I know who lives in Kulai, Johor. He kept telling me.. "Rumah I dekat aje dengan airport, you tau. Airport tu belakang rumah I je. Dekat sangat lah. Belakang je...". Dan I pula masa tu, terfikir. Biar betul.. the airport is in Senai, camana plak dia kata rumah dia dekat benor ngan airport, sebab dia duduk Kulai. Kulai and Senai, Senai and Kulai, are two, obvious, different names and places. And then okay la, I terfikir pula, mungkin rumah dia ni at this one end of Kulai which is soooo near to Senai ke, kan. Then one day aku pergi rumah dia and... MAK DATUK! Punyalah jauhhhhhhh rumah dia dengan airport!!!!!!!!!!!! You had to cross Kulai town and then masuk ke Senai sedalam-dalamnya baruuuuu jumpa Senai Airport. See, he's not even living in Kulai small town!!

And me, being myself, aku pun taji la cukup-cukup. "Macam ini you kata dekat? Ya Allah, you punya estimation memang I tak boleh percayalah. Dekat ni ???" And the man said "Dekat apa.. hardly 15 minutes dah sampai airport," Hah!!!! Airport belakang rumah dia konon... BELAKANGLAH SANGAT.

Entahlah some people just like to exaggerate. I don't like that. I really don't like. At its worst, boleh menyusahkah orang lain. I pun tak tau lah kenapa dengan orang-orang ni. Orang tanya sepatah, jawab 7 patah.. benda yang sedikit dibesar-besarkan. Nak tarik perhatian orang ke, terlampau mesra ke. Tak taulah kenapa.. kompiussss.

Him : Another You Part V

Hey, hey, hey you My Jedi Knight! This 'Him' I am talking about is so NOT ANOTHER YOU!

I just found out tonight. His attitude, like you put it, SUCKS!

And.. (nak mengadu lah ni).. he said so many mean things to me.. but.. I did not reciprocate.. I followed your advice.. be nice to people.. and it feels good everytime.. besides I tak sampai hati nak kutuk dia... memang banyak point boleh kutuk.. tapi it's okay.. Kasihan..tak apalah dia nak kata I katalah..I accept.

well he may say I ni stupid kan.. tak tau nak melawan.. tak apalah.. he's not from my league.. way, way too easy..kalau I hentam dia nanti tak boleh bangun lagi.. so.. I biarkan saja..

lagipun I kan angelic.. angels don't do such things, right regal sis?

It takes a Forbidden to know an Angel *wink*

by the way I have successfully defeated that so-called Another You.. hehehe see.. all too easy.

I am officially getting rid of him today.

Him : Another You Part IV

Boring... menyampah.. why do you have to be so overly sensitive and arrogant? Do you not realise that we are all human beings.. tak perlu nak berlagak.. semua pun HAMBA Allah. We are all servants, that's the reality.

I know not berapa lama lagi I can stand these things. Maybe I just keep quiet and let things pass. Tired lah.. so tired.. I have another examination coming.. am busy with readings and memorising. Though I am not really into the government sector, but I believe it is far better to read and gain knowledge than to wonder endlessly about you.I don't know what you are trying to show. I don't even know for sure. You are like.. so.. unstable. Your mind, that is. Though I am more than ten years younger but.. hey.. I am wiser.

And I told you repeatedly not to boast.. like tonight for example.. you said something you don't really mean. And when I press the matter, pandai pun you avoid.. See, honey I KNEW it.. I KNEW YOU DELIBERATELY SAID THAT, THAT WAS WHY I PRESSED ON IT. But you did not know that I knew, which was too bad. You have no way of knowing that I was laughing like hell after you went to bed. I know you are slowly getting addicted to having me around. I know I am angelic *wink* And I am very certain that, at home, whenever you are on your own, my words will keep ringing in your head. Well..he did not call me nightingale for nothing *winkie wink*

I told you I am far wiser. I think you underestimated the effect of The One. He is my master, my teacher. He is the only one I cannot defeat. At least not yet. In time, I will. I am very certain.

You are doing fine.. improving even better.. I am pleased with you now...

But please stop playing games.. because you do not know that i MAJOR in playing games... you may be way older, but I am way, way wiser.. FACE IT!

See, I know that it only took a little persuasion to put you right on track.

Just that, don't boast too much.. because where I am concerned, he who boasts will definitely eat his words back later.. *wink*
