[Note : something’s wrong with my blog… seems like i’m unable to publish this post! ]

another year’s gone by…

turn 27 today… 3 more years and i’ll hit the big three-oh. nothing interesting tho, didnt receive any present but i did receive bday wishes from quite a number of ppl, my close friends… my family… cousins… my dad even called me early in the morning just to wish me Happy Birthday… and i get all teary-eyed as i always do… i dunno… maybe there’s too many things i did in the past that i wish i didnt do – somehow i felt like i’ve let him down… so, everytime he wishes me happy birthday or congratulate me, i just cant help it… or may be i’m just sad bcos i feel like i’m not his little girl anymore.. bah, gontua sudah kan… hehehhh…

anywayyy… thanks a lot for the wishes and here’s a poem from me to me

Over The Hill Birthday

It’s birthday time again I see;
Another year’s gone by.
We’re older than we used to be;
The thought could make me cry.

For getting older is not such fun,
When there’s hurting in your back,
And it’s agony if you have to run,
And a pleasure to lie in the sack.

Yes getting older is quite a bore,
But to not get old is worse.
So “Happy Birthday!” let’s shout once more,
And to heck with our ride in the hearse!

Hooray for getting older! Happy Birthday and many more.

Ellone Moment

back when ellone was still a baby and cherry had just started talking, i used to have “cherry moments” such as this and this and this and this. ui, punya banyak

and now, since ellone is already talking, she’s starting to entertain us with her very own “Ellone Moment”.

this one happened a few days ago, while i was on the phone with my sister.

ellone : mummy pleeeaaaseee… i want to phone auntie selynnnn….
mimi : oklah oklah… nah *pass her the phone*

ellone : hello auntie selyn…
auntie selyn : *maybe* hello ellone…
ellone : what you doing?
auntie selyn : *said something*

suddenly, ellone became very quiet… i think she’s just listening to what my sister’s saying.

after about 3 mins…

mimi : ellone, say something.
ellone : *happily* something!

Short Update!

1. Congratulate me you guys! (muka tia malu kan? ) ellone is going to have a baby brother!!!!!

2. Jnr went outstation again, will only be back on Thursday. called him just now, if everything goes well, maybe he can come back tomorrow. hmmm… fingers crossed dis…

3. Final exam is almost over, 1 more paper to go…

one boring wednesday

today was ‘almost’ an unproductive day for me. still on leave and i had nothing to do. woke up at about 8:30 a.m and then spent my time surfing the net and downloading stuff. finally decided to take my bath at 11:00 a.m, had breakfast – which is more like brunch – and then decided that i need a hairwash. just realized that i hvnt washed my hair for almost 2 weeks! i’m disgusting, i know… so at about 11:30 a.m, headed to Julia’s saloon and had a very nice and relaxing hairwash. steamed my hair and shaped my eyebrows too… but looks like my right eyebrow is higher than the left one… not that obvious laa.. so… dont want to be fussy, just leave it be. nanti tumbuh, kasi bagus la. went to do some grocery shopping at chua kah seng.

when i get home, surf the net again until about 3:30p.m… had my lunch and then watched CSI Season 7 Episode 8, which is not aired in Malaysia yet and then Desperate Housewives Season 3 Episode 9 right after. also not aired in Malaysia yet. yerrrr… i really hate mike for losing his memory! and also that new MIL of Bree’s. very annoying ooo…

my MIL came home from work at about 5:00 p.m, helped her to prepare dinner in the kitchen. nah… see… that’s why i said ‘almost’ unproductive day. at least, late in the evening, i did do something emm… productive.

oya, when i came back from tambunan yesterday, a cute little puppy greeted us. they called him ‘kampung’. dunno why, maybe bcos it is a kampung dog

jnr will be coming home tomorrow, yayyyy!!!

he’s currently outstation in lahad datu since monday. being away from each other needs a little getting used to coz we’ve never been apart since we had ellone. last month, he went to Sandakan but just for one night. this time, three nights… i really really really miss him. gosh, never felt this ‘missing’ feeling for so long… anyway, i’ve read that being away once in a while is actually good for a healthy relationship so i guess, i’ll have to tahan lah. i’m still lucky, some ppl dont see each other for months! i’m glad he’s coming home tomorrow…

on the other hand… ellone is now officially a kid!

last night was her first night sleeping without a diaper she had been potty-trained for months and for the last 2 months or so, we only put on her diapers during her sleeping time and for the last few days, whenever i checked her diaper in the morning, it was always dry. so, last night, i decided to take the risk and she passed the test with flying colors! wahhh… mummy’s sooooo proud of her little darling.

and now, she also can talk like a 4 year old kid. Lurus, clear, except for the ‘R’ of course… another wonderful thing to be proud of. and i dont think it’s wrong to be proud when ppl tell you that you hv a very smart kid. but i know laa… talking at her age doesnt necessarily means that she’s smart… oya, and we had also manage to get her off the ‘cucut’ about more than 2 months ago… so, there… she’s not a baby or a toddler anymore!

oklah… that’s all for now.. toodles ppl!

New Look – Again!

woohooo….! new template!

i’ve been wanting to hv this kind of template for so long but i’m too lazy to create one by myself. not that i didnt try but i just didnt hv enough time so i figured, just use the one by blogger and sooner or later, other ppl will be kind enough to offer the template for free – and i was right! thanks to zirbad or now a.k.a All By Nose for indirectly referring me to this template.

so, next on my to-do list :-

1. create a new banner
2. recent comments
3. adsense thingy
4. About Me page

hmm… guess that’s all for now… wah… if one doesnt read my blog, one wouldnt know that this blog is actually “Powered by Blogger”.

oya, i’m back from kampung. i planned to come back on Thursday, exactly a week after my grandma’s passing but my papa has to return to work today, coz the other medic (the one who’s suppose to replace my dad) has come up with a very last minute excuse for not wanting to do so. this guy memang gini punya ooo… he will always find excuses not to replace my dad but, bila dia yg mo minta ganti… fuiiyooo… bukan main lagi. told my dad, next time he wants to minta ganti, dont!

oklah… will be continued..

Rest In Peace, Mama Tua

my honey called me at about 12:30 dis afternoon and told me the news. my mom tried to called me earlier but my phone was in silent mode coz i was at the Majlis Anugerah Cemerlang UMS. since she couldnt get me, she called jnr instead.

my grandmother (my father’s mom) has been in coma for the past 3 weeks or so. she was the annoying grandmother i mentioned in this post. was admitted to the hospital one day before hari raya.. sakit tua bah… we dont know her exact age but i think she’s about 85++ lah. her identity card number started with 29 but my dad said, she was born much earlier than that. most probably 1922…

honestly, i dont feel that sad… i mean, i sorta feel relieved knowing that finally, she’s free from her suffering. i do feel sorry for her… but at least now, she wont have all those different sizes of tubes stuck up her nose – and mouth.

she was a bobolian before – or bobohizan in kadazan. in english emmm… traditional priestess kah tu or witch doctor… heheh… not really sure. please correct me aa… then, after my grandfather passed away, she became a christian but too bad, all of us forgot what her christian name is… and jadi masalah actually bcos all the sembayang2 have to use her christian name. anyway… i think God knows her bah tu, even without her christian name.

hmm… i’ll only be going back to tambunan tonite, hv to wait for my papa who’s currently offshore. and i’m still contemplating on whether to bring ellone along or not. i’d probably be there for at least 7 days and jnr is supposed to go outstation on the 20th until 23rd. who’s going to take care of her aa??? maybe i should bring her with me. lagipun, byk juga my cousins and nieces to help me look after her.

no wonder la last nite, at about 2:30, i heard a dog barking so loud just outside our bedroom, near the window and so strange coz we dont even have a dog. our dog died a few weeks back… the dog wasnt howling, but it was barking like there was some stranger outside. it was so loud, but so strange, jnr didnt hear it. wanted to wake him up coz the dog seems to be barking forever but since he was sleeping soundly (snoring some more)… i decided – biarlah.

spooky

May She Rest In Peace…

Pocho-pocho!

i dont know what is it with this pocho-pocho dance that almost everybody go crazy abt it. entahlah, lately, macam in every function, these ppl will try to make a slot for pocho-pocho dance, be it a wedding, company’s annoual dinner, family day, uni student’s open day… semua mo ada pocho-pocho.

i dont get it. seriously, i DONT get it.

no offense but i dont see any ‘kesyokan’ of that dance… geli ada lah NO OFFENSE! Tapi kan, apa laitu? you go (sambil lenggang-lenggang badan):
1. four steps to your right, and then
2. four steps to the left,
3. foursteps backwards, and then
4. another four steps to the front and at the same time turn to your right.
5. repeat step 1 to 4 until the music ends… which according to jnr, is about 5 minutes long!

my goodness! kalau sya laa… i wouldve fainted by the 3rd round.

my colleague even dubbed this dance as the tarian OM…

anywayyy… hv i mentioned that jnr is now working with a new company? he used to work with Lektronex Eng S/B and after 5 yrs, he decided to join Faber Medi-serve. He told me that the work env. is totally different from what he’s used to. when he was with Lektronex, he build things… well, of course, not him alone lah bah… but then, he has to go to the project site every day, check on the progress, make decision on what to/not to do… assign who and who to do what and what… go meeting and fight with the s*****/d*** architect *sorry honey, that’s what u told me* and… emm… mostly that’s about it la… most of his working hours is spent in the project site… under the heat of the sun. i do hv a feeling that his job back then was quite stressful.

but now, i think his job is a bit more relaxing…. but a lot of OUTSTATIONS spent more of his working hours in the office, doing paperwork, reports, audits… scheduling… coz this is a maintenance company kan… and one more thing abt this new company, most of the staf are locals… so, of course the env. is much emm… friendlier than before… so, this december, they’re going to have a family day and they’ve organized activities like futsal… and volleyball mangkali tu. and for the dinner… his colleagues decided to do a – guess what??? – POCHO-POCHO DANCE

now, they’re bz practicing already and since jnr is new, they FORCE him to join them with the dance! kesian juga jnr ooo… but he said, tidak bagus juga if he refuse… nnt ppl say he sombong pula. and then, not only join in the dance tau, hv to be in the front row lagi kesian ooo… and then, all ladies lagi tu, so far only 2 guys yg ikut – including jnr la… the other guys kasi malu2 savo sya… kesian my honey kannnn… they even take video lagi…

and that’s just exactly what i want to share today…. heheheh… usually i posted ellone punya video, today, we watch daddy ellone punya video so long my introduction bah… mcm mo pi donggongon dari rumah sya but taking jalan blakang, pi putatan dulu and then round kk, masuk kolombong, pi bukit padang, tembus kibabaig… baru sampai donggongon

bah, enjoy the video aa… not that clear la bcos they use hphone bah…

jadi? apa kata pengkritik?
