Life is just another rubric cube. Give yourself time to solve it and eventually you'll get all the colours arranged 2gether. See it as complex from the beginning then everything is difficult.

Performing arts, NO?
Sometimes I would wonder whether I'm in the wrong profession. Don't get me wronged when I said this. Teaching is by far the most satisfying job that I ever enjoyed doing. Doing other things other than teaching is what I dread. Not that I hate those 'things' but I have to admit that I clearly do not like being pushed around and forced like a slave to do something that I don't like.
I remember being forced by my primary school teacher to sing all the chinese oldies in preparation for the inter school singing competition. Yes, I won almost all the competition. I'm not trying to be vain here but that was the truth- until I hit puberty and my voice cracked like a giant rock hitting the earth. If only I got a vocal trainer, I might have ended up in the showbiz(yer, sachak sa! muka ko diat, kata geng aku)
This few weeks, I've been bombarded with the different tasks that I need to carry out. Who would have thought I would be the group leader for PERFORMANCE department for the school annual excellence day. So, I had to come up with as many and different performances to fill the slots of prize giving. Believe me, it's not as easy as it sounds. Although they say, "don;t worry, you're the leader, let your member take in charge of each performance. And yes, I have delegated everyone with their own performance. It seems like everyone is as clueless as I am. "what should I do?" "Should I train them...but I don't know?" and many more excuses that can put a full stop to everything .
To be honest, so far I've only trained the choral speaking, which I enjoyed the most especially working with the 2krk students. They are the most co-operative students I've ever met in my whole life. Then, I've done with being the critique for the dance performance(so far 85% satisfying, cerik dirik pengkritik A.F lah?). The other performances are story telling and public speaking which I should worry later. Now, this last performance is something that send chill to my bones. Choir! yes, you heard it first! Choir! To be frank, I'm no Mr. Schue (Glee!) and I ain't no Sue Sylvester neither. This is something that I hate most especially when you know that there's not enough supply of talents in the vocal departments. I'm equally as untalented as these kids.Wait the minute, that would be wrong and an understatement to underestimate your students' ability. But hey, this is no Academy Fantasia. Not that I'm saying they have ugly voice. But as a normal human being with some dignity, I will not make a promise to put up a show that is merely 'suam-suam kuku' or in other word, average (so-so) Yet, I can't complain and feel anxious about this. What if they make fun of themselves? and then it'll definitely ruin my reputation. So what I'm gonna do? I'll pray to GOD harder.
Like I said earlier, maybe I've enrolled in the wrong course during my University years. Maybe I should have taken performing arts (acting,singing, dancing, music, instrumentals etc) Maybe I'm not good enough in all of that, but surely I got a pinch of those things in my blood. Somehow, I do enjoy managing a performance( not performing though). I love the adrenaline rush and the satisfaction after putting a show, or getting whatever feedback of the performance.Somehow, it helps me to learn and to improve in the future. Now, this sounds very promising as I myself don't even know what that future holds. As long as the audience enjoy the show, the whole effort is paid off.
So into these final few days, I hope I get enough sleep and energy to perfect all those performances and give a kickass! performance. =) wish me luck!

Ignorance is bliss
contrary to the title, i think ignornance is a selfish act especially when the act is done to the others. There's a time when I don;t get response from letter, e-mails or even smses from people I know and it makes you feel, is it really difficult to type Yes, No, Hi, I'm fine, Thank you...or even I hate you? It takes just a few seconds/minutes to cheer up someone's life. Why must we feel burdened by not getting the answer that we one? Or is it that our heart is playing its most favourite game: emotion?
A time will come when loneliness strikes and you feel that even your most expensive gadget could not get you connected to other people. It makes you a 'frog under the coconut shell?" (haha)
So, spare some times to say Hi to your loved ones. It will make that much difference in their life and your life. =)

KOMPIDEN sik awak ckp omputeh?
THIS IS A UNION JACK TOILET SEAT! REPEAT AFTER ME! DO NOT SH*T ON IT!yarrrrrrrrrh, alu terbeliak matanya tek baca blog aku pake bahasa srwk! saya pun terbeliak nangga reaksi muka awak.. apa awak ingat ninek sy omputehkah?(reaksi ku beri stiap kali plajar aku terkejut Sir nya tok blh klakar srwk, apa gik mun klakar slang Spaoh, ne poh eh?guling2 tetak miak dlm kelas )
Toklah keindahan dan keunikan bahasa yg kita mudah Alpa. Itok saya mdh awak..yer! bersaya -awak indah...coma jak dianuk guru dr Melaya(melayer..ko ader??sik ader(dgn jungor ke depan). Bukan apa, skali skala berblog makei bahasa srwk sedap jak bunyi..bak kata makcik kedey tek: yoah!(suka nengar munyi nerais yoh), spoke lOn- Don nya tok eh..sik kamek mudah faham. mun stakat thank you tek blh juwaklah makcik ya jwb: same same..yer..konPiden! bukan same2 lah makcik, "you're welcome".
dipendekkan crita, adalah kwn kmkorg dolok. Bercerita lah nya tek pasal maknya tauk berbahasa inggeris. Walaupun maknya org kampung, sekali sekala bgs juak maknya tok mauk instill the Use of English in their daily lives)masa ya tengahlah makan, diangkatnya sudu dan garfu lalu dimadahnya: makku pandei juak ckp inggeris. 'Tok spoon namanya..(auk2 ajaklah kmkorg tek) , nak tok SPORK namanya.( Puffffff!, tersembur nasi & air dr mulut kmkorg tatkala nya nyebut SPORK dgn confident!. "Oh,deng! Fork lah...bukan SPork" dihentam malu tek, alu merajuk kawan..sekejap jak merajuk, diembak gi kedai mamak blakang rumah alu lupaknya tek pasal incident tdk. tp nang traumalah nya nak makan makei 'garfu' lepas ya. makan pakei tgn pun jadilah.
Bukanlah aku nak memuji dirik atau menghina org yg blajar bahasa Inggeris. Biasalah,nama gik dah bahasa asing. dah namanya asing, siklah loghat n slang boleh berbunyi piyor(pure=tulen). aku pun pernah juak polah mistakes..malah lebih bnyk mistakes dr org lain. tp sekurang2nya dr sia aku blajar. sekali kita salah,seumur hidup kita ingat, jgn plak 'pisang berbuah 2 kali udahlah)
Ingat gik aku time form 2, aku wakil skolah utk speech (yer, wakil form 2 you! you ader? sik ader!) nang dah dihafal ku skrip depan cermin selama sebulan, tiap petang ku present dpn miss Vimala(cne ndak tujunya knek tok) sampey2 skolah SMK Melugu tek, tibalah giliran ku berucap, dgn confident aku buka mulut 'Good AFTERNING(morning campur afternoon)...nang satu DEWAN RIUH ketawa! aku pun berhenti sbb terkejut dgn kesilapan teknikal bodoh(in english we call it blunder=a stupid mistake) , lepas ya aku mula balik n habiskan speech aku. Dipendekkan cerita aku sik menang, tapi aku mula yakin utk berckp guna bahasa Inggeris.
Sepanjang perjalanan ini(mcm lagu Zaiton sameon jak), ada juak bnyk kali polah kesilapan dlm sebutan.cth: baked beans blh jd ba-ked beans(wrong), Grand (sebutan gren, bukan gran), yg slalu org salah sebut ialah buffet (sebut betul2...buffeyyyyyyyyy) bukan buffet. sikpa, sikda benda nak dimalu, yg penting kita belajar dan sik ulang kesilapan. Untung kita di Malaysia blh blajar banyak bahasa, malah lebih bnyk gik dr org putih yg hanya mampu faham bahasa dirik mpun. Kita patut berbangga sbg rakyat Malaysia kerana diberi peluang ini,(chewah, mcm ucapan hari Merdeka jak). sorry, blogku tok sikda unsur politik,,Mun awak mdh satu Malaysia, maka satu Malaysialah saya madah.(bila masa juak ada 2 Malaysia nak?) hish..bingung aku.
okelah..cukuplah sampey sitok ku poret blog aku guna bahasa tempatan, lepas tok, mmg SPOKE LONDON(hebat makcik ya masukkan past tense, ada SPOKE) lah aku lepas tok dlm blog aku. Melainkan mendapat sambutan hangat poretan bhasa srwk tok. chow lok!
~An Oath to Mummy~

Mummy,
If you keep me just for another day,
I promise I'll be a good child,
I'll listen to you,
and never ask for anything.
Mummy,
If you let me stay with you,
I am going to be a filial son,
and prove that I can succeed,
for you have brought me to this world.
Mummy,
If you take care of me,
I promise not to cry,
though it is not natural for babies not to cry.
Mummy,
why do you leave me
in a place like this?
of rubbish and unwanted things.
I feel sick, I can't breath,
Mummy,are you listening?
Mummy,
did i offend you
for breathing the same air with you?
what have I done to be treated like this?
Mummy,
please don't go,
turn around and look at me,
there's a better way than leaving me.
I know you still have a pinch of love.
Mummy
I saw a cat and its kitten,
how i wished i was the kitten,
to be cuddled and loved by its mother.
to feel cared and loved.
Mummy,
now that I know you will leave me,
I have only one little wish,
that I will be the last baby in the world
to be thrown away like this.
Mummy,
I will never understand why,
i will never cry again,
coz soon i'm going to say goodbye.
In my mind there's a question that runs wild ,
what if your mummy did the same to you?
~The recent cases of babies being thrown away like rubbish has opened the eyes of many. Suddenly, I felt like writing something for the babies. So, this poem is dedicated to all the unwanted babies, and a question to all the irresponsible mothers who threw away their babies like a junk. There is always a better option than throwing these innocent lives~

Pass that SALT, please?
Salty as it may sound, yet Angelina Jolie never fails to deliver a good character in any stunt movies she signed up for. From TOMB RAIDER to WANTED, she makes stunts looking zexy and effortless. Though we know there's always the stunt double to do all the stunts, Kudos to Jolie for raising the bar for any female actresses to star in an action-packed movie. Plot wise, it's predictable yet it's not as cliched as other movies.
In the past, I've written a novel that I never got to finish, entitled "V- for Vladimir". Yes, It sounds Russian and indeed it's about a Russian character. I had created a character more or less the same as SALT. A Russian Spy who was trained from her childhood to assassinate the President . The only difference is the character is more complicated, and as usual she is being haunted by her past. Similar to other movie, there's the conflict that made up the plot. I did not get to finish it since I had very little knowledge/schemata on the political, weaponry and physical setting of my story. (I wrote it during my free times in University)
Today, I feel like writing it again however I find the task rather time consuming and impossible to me. So, for those of you who doesn't have a clue what SALT is about, click the link below for a quick preview. Just look and stare at her SEXY lips and let me hypnotize you.
p/s: Thanks to doubleedgeboy for making THIS(below) possible! =) My knowledge on technology is rather ancient.

Blog-Ga!
It has been a year since I last blogged! Maybe it was the laziness, the mid-life crisis(am I too early to develop one) or maybe it was due to the poor internet service. Blame the technology, yada yada yada...but at the end of the day, it might not be so bad to admit that I might have lazed out or simply getting bored with blogging. It was until recently that I suddenly felt like blogging again! yeah, it was out of the blue, just like that(a finger snap!) just for the sake of keeping my account from being terminated? But now, after reading more blog entries from my friends and students. I am inspired to write again. *ting! comes the lightbulb! Ideas are mounting to great height! oh, wait! there must be a capacity and density that this blog serves. If not, it could easily be mistaken with a celebrity gossip blog or a middle age man's rants ; full of angst and frustration. So, why don't I make my blog an opposite to the latter? Maybe I could write something positive? something that will inspire first and foremost, myself, then others?
To start with, I'm going to find and evaluate my own voice... lalalalala(suara sumbang!) The hardest part will be maintaining that voice (that one theme/strength) in my blog. As usual, laughter is one of the important ingredients. And it even came out as a joke, to blog after one year of leaving it and to find that blogger.com is getting more sophisticated and interesting. So, my first attempt was to change the background. And there you have, a shelve full of books.
I'm hoping to achieve the objective of this blog: to read more and to write better materials.

Goodbye my friend!

They say: It takes forever to say goodbye, so why does it take too long to say the word? Probably the poster above says it all...It kills both you and your friend(emotionally) to say goodbye.
No matter how old we are, we share the same feeling of sadness when it comes to saying Goodbyes. will it stop? Never. Getting to know a person means to be ready to say goodbye to him / her anytime in the future.
I choose rather not to give my own account of high school farewell but to share a bit of what my students are going through every year especially at the end of the year. Last year, I remember a student of mine telling me how sad he was for leaving his classmates and school years. Some were so emotional and some were excited to get over with form 5. How could you not be excited when the thought of leaving the school uniform that you have been wearing for the last five years (not that u're wearing the same clothes for 5 years,Ha!) comes to mind. The waiting is worth it though, believe me, you'll miss it.
But I remember my dutch best friend, Dennis who is also my 'brother' quoting: do not be dismay by goodbye. A goodbye is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or lifetime, is certain for those who are friends (Richard bach)
To me, a goodbye is a moment for me to give a space for my friends/loved ones to grow up. It is the time of reflection and I belive, we will appreciate our friends more if we could allow ourselves to grow together.

Not that I care...but(how can someone be that stupid?)
I am a big fan of T-shirts, the more creative the design is, the better! However, there is a limit to creativity especially when it comes to profanity.
I rarely curse and shouldn't encourage myself to indulge in that culture but when I saw a T-shirt that loudly Shouts out profanity! at a shopping mall(boulevard,3rd floor). I just can't stand my irritation nor my mouth from cursing that person (what an irony to curse someone who curse) and wondering why would they sell the T-shirt. Only Morons should wear it! and Morons would sell it!
Look at this t-shirt.

How many times does the 'designer' have to repeat the same 'F' words? Something must have gone wrong inside his head! Maybe He thinks that it's cool to have the word printed on a T-shirt! If someone came up to me wearing that T-shirt, I would probably kick him.
What do you think of this T-shit?(now, I'm cursing) would you put that T-shirt on?(Shantelle)

How do you call your Granny? ninek ? hmmm..whatever!
I remember teaching my weaker Students the very basic of English: family members.
Conversation went as the following:
T: I show a picture of 'father' and ask 'Who is this?'
Ss: Bapak ORG! Cikgu Zul!(bersomet nya...Cikgu Zul indah!)
T: NO....How do you say ' Ayah' in English?
Ss: ...there was no respond....sounds of cricket filled the room
T: It's Father! repeat after me! Faaaaa Derrr!
Ss:....("it turned into a Kindergarten class)
So I taught them all the words and at the end of the lesson, I tried to test their knowledge by asking them one by one to answer my question:
T: I need you to say the answer in English! Ok, Here we go.
Ayah?
Ss: Fader
T: Ibu?
Ss: Made...
T: Abang
Ss: Brader
T: Kakak?
Ss: Sister
The next one made me stumbles and I laughed my heart out!
T: Nenek?
Ss: NEKTER!!!!! they thought every word ends with -ter!'
and what is a Nekter???? it's grandmother! So, there you go, word of the day 'Nekter'!

could this be their infamous Nekter? hahaha...

Sir, May I...?
I was teaching my form 1 class, 1 G. G for Gemilang. Never thought that they have a thing for Jaclyn Victor too(GEMILANG) hahaha...
So each time when I came into the class, I would find that half of the class has gone missing. There are only 20 of them, so you can imagine how many are left lying and playing in the class. Usually I would scold and punish them but to no avail.I just don't understand the trend of going out to toilet/from class. The usual conversation would be like this:
attempt 1:
Ss: Sir, tandas.
Me: Say it in English, Please!
Ss: Sir...errr(looking at their friends) and the background noise started to scream: toilet! toilet!
Me: Yes, could you repeat that?
Ss: Sir, Toilet!
Me: I'm not a toilet! (doing sign language)
Laughter broke the already noisy class.
Me: Ok, everyone! Repeat after me! "Sir, May I go To the Toilet?" Only those who can say 'this' can go out.
Tr and Ss then indulged in a repetition of Monologue.
Ok..now try it!
Ss: Sir, May to to to to toilet?
Me: NO! Wrong(starts to feel fed up)
Me: Sir, May I...May I Go...TO ...THE...TOILET?
Ss repeat after me and then once again, I let him/her try.
Ss: Sir, May I go.........(no answer)
I used all the sign language available to teach them but the word just won't come out!
and the 40 minutes lesson ended with teaching them how to ask permission.If he's lucky, then He'll get his chance to go to the toilet. Otherwise, only God knows how terrible he must have felt to hold himself from peeing in his pants!
The same scenario is still happening until today, and I start to wonder, maybe I should be a Janitor and clean the toilet with them! I promise never to go GaGa when I hear the same mistakes they made in class.
So each time when I came into the class, I would find that half of the class has gone missing. There are only 20 of them, so you can imagine how many are left lying and playing in the class. Usually I would scold and punish them but to no avail.I just don't understand the trend of going out to toilet/from class. The usual conversation would be like this:
attempt 1:
Ss: Sir, tandas.
Me: Say it in English, Please!
Ss: Sir...errr(looking at their friends) and the background noise started to scream: toilet! toilet!
Me: Yes, could you repeat that?
Ss: Sir, Toilet!
Me: I'm not a toilet! (doing sign language)
Laughter broke the already noisy class.
Me: Ok, everyone! Repeat after me! "Sir, May I go To the Toilet?" Only those who can say 'this' can go out.
Tr and Ss then indulged in a repetition of Monologue.
Ok..now try it!
Ss: Sir, May to to to to toilet?
Me: NO! Wrong(starts to feel fed up)
Me: Sir, May I...May I Go...TO ...THE...TOILET?
Ss repeat after me and then once again, I let him/her try.
Ss: Sir, May I go.........(no answer)
I used all the sign language available to teach them but the word just won't come out!
and the 40 minutes lesson ended with teaching them how to ask permission.If he's lucky, then He'll get his chance to go to the toilet. Otherwise, only God knows how terrible he must have felt to hold himself from peeing in his pants!

Everyone is talking about.....
NO! Not her! and not YOU...obviously!
For the past few days, everyone has been talking about holidays! ...and vacation! I could see the glows in everyone's eyes when they spilled out their great expectation!Neither do i feel jealous nor should I want to feel jealous of THIS! but me and my mind got issues. First, there's the SPM invigilation. 2) I missed my booze(concert) damn you B! 3)tons of work...etc etc.
What can I say about 2009? So far, it has been a great year of learning and growing. Getting older is not the case.I need holidays, most importantly I need to find solace in me. The acceptance of situations sometimes makes me feel at peace.
when I think of vacation, I think of beach...and yes, Christmas!

I can't wait for Christmas, but not too eager on the thought of having to spend my $$ on food. I hope there's Bonus for us, government servant! Not too late for Quepac to propose this bill. And the new PM better approve my demand! or else.........I'll....get angry! haha.
I do get angry like this!My current music (mood) is 'Meet me halfway' by the black eyed peas. Better pen-off now.
Headline of the weak - Beyonce postpones tour again!
SPOILER ALERT!

When a Diva cancels a tour, you can only gasp the thin air and puff out smokes of anger. When the organizer of 'I am ...tour' announced the postponed tour, messages, phone calls flooded my facebook and handphone! some felt the same way as I do, some wickedly smiled and said 'padan muka(in their heart)' and most have indifference feeling.
Anyway, I've prepared my plan B wayyyy before I decided to buy the tix. I'm going to meet up my friends in KL/Shah Alam of course. Hey, it's been two years since I last saw them. They surely gonna cheer me up with their antics(jokes, karaoke etc) I miss them so much and I think I'm gonna spend a great time this coming weekend reminiscing the past while cursing Beyonce..oOps.! don't worry, I'm still her biggest fan though I might hate her for THIS! come on, I also have feelings, not a dumb fool fan who will follow everything she(Beyonce) said/did. Neither should you follow blindly what your favourite celebrities do.
Anyway, I'll stop talking about this Bootylicious diva for a while..Thanks for making my beautiful nightmare comes true!
Actually, right now I'm having flu and don;t feel like kicking the door. But someday I will..haha.
Instead of cursing the singer, why don't I just sleep and rest! A long weekend is awaiting for me! see ya b.b.s!

Reality double check!
Sky rocketing lifestyle and fame whoring world: checked! it was a dream.
living the normal life is THE new REALITY! It seemed hard to sink in, but it's already sunk into the bottom of my heart(yoh..Britney indah!, hambik kau peminat britney), no more shipwrecked! no more discomfort, but acceptance of new environment.
I used to rant over 'being posted' in this small village. What I didn't know was the newfound life is what I have been looking for my whole life. I guess I've been drifted away by the city life of KL and Shah Alam. Which I don't blame. And blinded by the promises that it could bring. NOT anymore. Wise with age, not wither upon rippening!Sik Coba, Sik encerik!
TAK KENAL MAKA TAK CINTA ~ I thought it's only applied in KBSR/KBSM. Now I realize the saying is prevalent to everything. I'll write a special dedication to SMK Spaoh in another post that I plan to do. Wait for 10/11/2009-1 year anniversary of my posting in this school. Though no sign of wrinkles on my face, sign of maturity begins to appear.
I absolutely love this place now and have no plan to move. Not in another 10 years, or 20 years? hmm..only time will tell. For now, I'm thankful for being where I am now. Wish that every new teacher will get their reality checked soon!

Passion = satisfaction

I love cooking, especially when it challenges my skills, knowledge and creativity. It requires a lot of preparation and some budget sheet to consider to. But I've never been that fussy about the price, after all it's food for your stomach. You are what You eat.
Food presentation is another thing that i'm most passionate about. Though I have to exclude the 'after-eating' routine which is cleaning up! That's the last thing I'll put in mind, or else my plan will be disturbed by some discomfort feeling of Laziness! Not to mention, drying the plates and arranging it in the basket/cabinet. That's when I need assistant. Usually when I was at home, the ladies(my mum and aunties) would take this task without complain.
Lets talk about the food: be it eastern or western, I like both and preparing them shows one's ability to distinguish the main ingredient in the recipe. The best part of the whole thing is the presentation and the judgment time. While people are enjoying your food, the amount of satisfaction can only be told in one word : INFINITY of HAPPY-ness.
Occasionally, I'd love to go out and have a great dinner with friends. It's a time when you can share laughter or problems. The best is DRAMA! as your friends can go draMAtic over a 'slow' service. I think sometimes we have to stop complaining and just be a bit patient. After all, it's about food. Everyone in the room is the customer. Once bitten twice shy...maybe it's a good idea NOT to go to the same place again if the service sucks. DOn'T come again. Then, maybe they will feel the impact of losing the most valuable customer. It's their lose, not yours! DIVA rampage!

I absolutely agree with the MALAY saying: Jangan bergaduh depan rezeki(makanan) in Iban culture, it's called Mali! In bidayuh, It's Porih! In your own understanding: Don;t do it!
Anyway, my passion of writing food has turned into messages of advice. Take it or leave it. It's not for the faint-hearted!
A date with BeyoWulf
25 September 2009 is gonna be a night to remember! I don't have to announce it again: BEYONCE performs LIVE in MALAYSIA.
Look at the tix that I got. Pretty awesome huh? It cost me a month of lunchtime! So, here we go to thin stick body.

and look at the seating plan! cool huh?

Words can't describe my happiness! I think it will be my first and last concert! DOn't think that I'll do this again...but they say...NEVER say NEVER!
Until then, it's all a sweet dream and beautiful nightmare.. muah muah..

Tupperware , not tapau-way!
To Tapau or not?
Polystyrene is not a healthy choice, with some 'buts' depends on the situation.
I can't clearly remember how I've become such a huge Tupperware fan!Thanks to Mr. leong for his marketing. They are just irresistible and the colours are just so tempting that I have to get one myself!(Hmm, I sound motherly=maknenek).
I'll tell you why. just look at this collection of water handolier:

I have one of this green handolier, but i like the blue handler more. The simple string makes it sexier than the given package. So I bought the green handolier and requested for the blue handler.

I take them everywhere I go, and drink more plain water nowadays. (Mineral, not distilled or drinking water.) I feel healthier and energized nowadays.So now, I become Zexier!

Say no to boredome, and Hi to extravaganza!
There's nothing funnier than watching 'extravaganza'- an indonesian sitcom thatyou may want to relate with our own 'SENARIO'. Compared to Senario, the jokes from extravaganza is way up to date and spontaneous. I keep on laughing when i recall the scenes from the different episodes.
You may find this show by typing 'extravaganza - pretty woman' in youtube. From there, the links go on and on. You don;t need to be proficient in Bahasa Indonesia(Inonesia dialect) because it's quite similar to our malay language. However, on personal level, I think Indonesian language has a wider range of humours tone to it; the tone conveys the message in just the right way.
Anyway, enjoy your weekends with this show!

I wanna run...smash into you
I was laughing my *rse out when I read Mel's blog! Heineken n Cheesecake huh? I'd rather call mine, 'Ribena n Snowman'! anyway...if that doesn't ring a bell, this will!
In response to her blog, I'd also like to talk about these three unique creatures in my life! It seems like we're bonding more than ever compared to the time when we're 'congested' in that house! It's the best definition of human trafficking! Why would we do that at the first place? simply for fun? haha..we knew better! Yes, of course it's for fun.. we were younger, less innocent than now(haha) n we never cared how the world looked like until Gaza! Oh, come on!
Imelda, Alby and Llyod!
I would call this three people 'rare creatures' bcoz i can't possibly define them in human manners. Though we can't possibly be the same, our mutual understanding or the so-called 'infra-red' worked really well until today. Though we need to uPgRadE our 'system'.
We're like the different types of coffee, there's a mocha, a latte, a cappucino and a white coffee. simply Zexy!haha! and indeed we're coffee lovers! I'm an addict!
If you could go back in time, think and ponder about this questions.
1) would u go back in time and tell urself how lucky u are?
2)would i scold 'stupid-stupid' to the one who caused 'open-burning' in the house?
3)would u quarrel over stupid issues like..."Britney sucks?! Beyonce's screaming voice! and defend ur points?
THE ANSWER FOR NO.3 is a BIG YES YES for US! hahahaha.
4) would u feel guilty to go clubbing again?
5)Would u clean the floor if it's wet? (haha, lap satu rumah!)
6)would u ever, ever want to join BEC rosary? hahah...DONT"SSSSSSSSSS worry!
I miss this 3 people in my life, and one day, we'll hook up again and indulge in a more mature conversation!
Mature????....never say Never!
