Only About 1-2 Months Only-ma!

Hiya, there! Long time no see, hor? Yes, I am fine. How about you?

Recent Happenings

We went back to GC (again!) for a fantastic holiday with Rachel tagging along. This time round we did more than usual. Theme park (of course!), forest reserve, went to Brisbane, shopping (went mad and crazy at Quiksilver and Billabong's warehouse) and without saying, CHILL OUT (big time).

As usual, we stayed at Ocean Royale again - front view, sea facing, damm big, fully equipped kinda apartment (so cool, right?). There are two rooms (Daddy and I shared one and the girls took the other). Marky had the TV in the living room and the sofa bed all to himself! There are 2 balconies in the living area and 1 balcony in each room - everywhere you look, blue sea, blue skies, hot bods jogging by the beach, oldies walking, so bliss. What do I have to do to deserve this kinda life, huh? I am saying, EVERYDAY, I want!

Crank up the volume!!!


Influenza H1N1

Marky's school had a few cases and he is staying home - no school for him for don't know how long - self quarantine. He is getting bored and actually want to go to school! How pelik is that? Here, I pray, for all my family and friends to stay healthy, be careful and stay safe.

The Rodwells

How come you only miss people when they aren't around and when they are, you take them for granted. I miss Baby Dylan sooooooo much.

That little heartbreaker better come home soon!

School

Still fighting for Science and Math to be maintain in English! Stupid flip-flop gomen! Those flers, huh - I am really doubtful if they know what they are doing-lor. Kejap ni, kejap tu! Apa masalahnya? Don't only think of the ballot box-la - our children's future are at stake, yo!

We (PAGE MALAYSIA) went for a meeting in SMK Seri Hartamas on Saturday last week and got locked out. All the press came. We were told that we can't have a meeting in the school premise because of "ARAHAN DARI JABATAN". Eh, we are not taking to the streets-la. Just housewives and daddies wanting to discuss our children's future-la. Give us a break, can or not?

Anyway, the press came, right? So, the next day it was all over the papers - and then Muhyiddin who was in Perth says, "Eh! Tak boleh." He said, parents SHOULD be ALLOWED to convene an EGM and apologise on behalf of his over zealous officers. If only all the "over zealous officers" could focus on how to better the education system. I mean, common, have you heard of "over zealous gomen officers" in our country before-ar? Suddenly got! Suddenly they appear! Another pelik incident that I came across (hairannya!).

Rachel!

My baby niece is turning 21! How can? When did this happen! I love this young lady very much. She is a gem. Got her head screwed on properly. Acts like an old lady sometimes, but she is smart, pretty and everything nice :-). I LUP CHEW, my baby!

The KOP comes to ASIA!

Oh, my GOD! It was unbelievable! We were staying at Pan Pac in Singapore, just opposite to their hotel. The moment we reach, dump our bags and went over to try and catch a glimpse of our HEROES.

The stupid security over at Mandarin tried to chase everyone who are not staying in the hotel away. When came my turn, I said I am staying in this hotel (so fib, right?). They started asking me for my room number and such until I got stuck-la! Gosh, I felt downright "DUH"! But then again, desperate-ma. Anyway, I manage to stay and boy-oh-boy, we saw almost all the players up close and personal, man!

Rafa, Kuyt, Alonso, King Kenny and then some, signed on Marky's t-shirt - so star struck, so amazing! I will never forget that day.

Everywhere in Singapore, all you see is RED, RED and RED!

During the game, the atmosphere was so overwhelming, it is unbelievable. Jamie Yeo aka The BIMBO was the opening MC - she invited two Liverpool fans on stage and ask them if they have anything to say - they did! "WHO THE FUCK IS MAN UNITED?", they sang (to the tune of Halle, halle, hallelujah). Ms Bimbo was LOST for words for a good 10 seconds and then say, "Erm, that's interesting". So bimbo, ya, no?

Liverpool won 5-0 and the fans were ecstatic. We did the wave, we were all brothers and sisters, no race, no creed, only LOVE. The only religion was Liverpool. If only the world is like that.

When all of us was singing, You'll Never Walk Alone, aiyo, so emo I felt like crying - got goose bumps all over. Can't wait to watch the real game at Anfield, to touch the Shankly gates, to visit the museum, basically, experience the real thing-la.

I love you, Liverpool - YNWA.



Gerrard, since we are going to be in-laws in future, we should hook up when we go to Liverpool. It's better for Mark to get to know Lily Ella sooner.

Yasmin Ahmad

My ex-boss passed away on the 25th July 2009 due to a stroke. I have never been really close to her but I have been friends with Ah Leong (Min's husband) since college. I know how much he loves her and I am truly saddened by this. Ah Leong will miss her so much.


Yasmin is always full of fun and laughter! Always happy. An obstacle to her is a challenge. She does not judge nor does she condemn. She's got charisma, that woman. Her sense of humour is gold.

During our WIP, which was usually on Thursdays, she would say, "Ladies, tonight is malam Jumaat, don't forget to go home and make your husband happy." She'll embarrassed the hell out of some of our colleagues, man and women included.

She would probably be the only one who could come up with the word "kench" - short for "kencing". She would pass by my place when she need to use the toilet and she would say, without fail, "Come! Let's go kench!"

She is religious but would never think her religion as the best - she respect all religion and in fact tries to understand each one of them. She started 1Malaysia 20 years ago, way before Najib (that one-huh, copycat-la). The only thing that she hates are lazy people.

An extremely beautiful person. We are going to miss you, Yasmin, RIP.

Till my next update, love you, peeps!

It is a pity, that now I can not express - there is no free time. But I will be released - I will necessarily write that I think on this question.
