Sleepyhead In Surrey

I always get frozen at the keyboard. It seemed like ages ago since I could express myself here. Bleargh ... guess updates will be reserved for another time

Orang sakit, tak boleh makan ni!
I'm suffering here. This feverish sensation refuses to leave my body. Cukup makan, what? Cukup pakai, what? Apsal nak demam lagi ni? Tak laratnya. Tapi semalam demam-demam pun sempat tuang training semata-mata nak tgk Cinta The Movie.

I'm miserable today. So damn tired after a few months of breaking my back working for this institution. Yesterday was D-Day. So after all the preparations that we have made the event finally came to be realized and it turned out pretty darn good. Discounting the long speech by our BIG BOSS, that is! The flag-off which was scheduled for 9:45 a.m. eventually was done at around 11.45 a.m.! But the teams were fast. One team recruited a 'pakcik' whom I thought looked around 50 years old but he was fit to the bone and by hour 3 he didn't show any signs of fatigue. Wish I would that fit when I turn 50. All in all, it was a pretty darn good day. Although today I'm starting to feel the effects of it. ~tired.....zzzz....zzzzz......umph what time is training again?

You know I'm dead bored when there is the umpteenth entry for the day. I took the time to read my old posts and the comments posted by my friends. Dear Emi, in light of the recent events I hold my chin to my chest and apologize for all the wrong doings that I have done. When I read your comments I think I now feel a person screaming out for the attention of a friend. The attention that I failed to give because I was too wrapped up in some other things in my life. I do realize now that I have taken a dear old friend for granted. Whether its too late or not I hope my apologies count. Peace! Kenangan di bawah tingkap slanting.

the answer scripts keep piling up and none of them get marked. Meanwhile, my mind is trying to escape and stray into long untouched recesses. Of course, there is already the lingering worry with regards to the house. I am SO not kidding about that. It's a case of choosing between an unhappy future with excess and MEAN baggage or a pleasant one with me at the steering wheel. I SO wanna kill that evil person right now. She could go to hell for all I care. But, alas my faith has kept me from turning into an ugly green monster.

This blog has long been ignored. I might be turning it into an online shopping blog. Watch this space!

There's nothing like the sweet smell of blitzed pineapple cooked with a dash of lemon and cloves. It invokes a sense of serenity, coupled with dribbling drool. And what makes it that much better is the realization that he was willing to stay up for 4 hours to finish the concoction only to wake me up when it was ready.

I only hope that the people its meant for will appreciate it as much.

At the dining table during iftar

Me : Apsal tanak makan lauk tu? It's only a day old.
Him: Entahlah. Bila tak fresh je susah nak lalu.
Me : Kenapa plak? Bukannya basi.
Him: Tah....tekak ni bila makanan tak fresh lalu dia mesti cakap "Excuse me..."

This new endeavour is interesting. Maybe because I managed to get a good scoop. Thanks a lot Dr D!

I drove to work today ogling a hand that was dangling out from a car window. It was a man's hand, visible only from the fingertips to the elbow, and trying to get free from the touch n go handlebars. And it wore a metal watch. Somehow I found it sexy. So masculine and yet so refined. The hand, not the person owning the hand. Heaven knows how he looks like. The watch made the hand look like it belonged to a distinguished and manly man getleman. Too bad joe's hands are so, how shall I put subtlely, errmm..... HAIRY. He couldn't put on any type of watch that has a metal bangle. The hairs on his hand might get lost somewhere in the recesses of the bangle.

Yet again, The Girls are marvelling at the joys of motherhood. The irony of it is that they would also speak of the pain. How THAT part of you down under would be prodded at and sliced and in the aftermath of it would be sewn back together like a torn pillow being mended. And yet again I sat there numbed and wide-eyed thinking about the pain and suffering. Err....can you tell me again how that relates to something joyous?! Somehow I still am not convinced of this motherhood thing. Maybe some time in the near future I'll consider it again. Like in another ten years or so.

*****************

I'm rooting for Argentina tonight. But then again, Klinnsman's team is not too shabby either. Maybe I'll see which team scores first and root for them. Whatever it is, I'm happy that France is through to the Quarter Finals! Félicitations Monsieur Henry! Je suis fier de vous. Rappelez-vous juste de marquer un but, okay?

Last weekend aku balik kampung hubby aku. Nama tempat tu Simpang Ampat. Mengikut ceritanya nama dia Simpang Ampat sebab memang the center of the kampung ialah sebuah simpang empat. Korang tau tak Carrefour tu in French maksudnya simpang empat la. A T-Junction. So kampung hubby aku ni nama dia Carrefour la sebenarnya. Heh. Kat situ ada kedai hardware Ah Seng, ada balai polis. Itu la main landmark yang aku ingat.

Tapi semenjak gomen dah built a highway there tak ada lagi nampak identity Simpang Ampat tu. Sbb all the way memang akan ada junctions untuk exit to specific places. Bila cakap pasal the loss of Simpat Ampat's identity ni macam tu jugaklah hilangnya identity family hubby aku ni. Bila aku balik kampung kali ni aku dapat tahu ada peristiwa di sebalik the building of the highway yang go through kampung Simpat Ampat ni. Kesahnya family hubby aku ni kaya dengan tanah sawah (bukan kaya duit) yang sekarang ni kalau lalu highway tu boleh nampaklah. So bila nenek hubby aku meninggal tanah ni dah jadi tanah pusaka. Bila sebut tanah pusaka I'm sure the first thing that comes to mind is perebutan harta. Adik beradik mother in law aku rupanya hampir berbalah disebabkan tanah pusaka tu. Bila kami berkumpul untuk kenduri cousin aku di Dak Jali ni baru aku kenal mak-mak dan bapak-bapak sedara aku yg selama ni I only ever heard of from my mother in law.

Ada Along Aih anak lelaki sulung. Ada Along Yob from Seremban. Ada Alang. Ada Acik. Ada Pak Itam uncle yang ganas dan pandai nyanyi lagu Oh Fatimah. Ada Busu Lod. Kalau dengar cerita mother in law aku depa ni semua asalnya rapat. Masa anak Along Aih dengan Along Yob kawin dulu mak la yang masakkan lauk kenduri. Hubby aku dengan adik beradik dia la yang jadi kendarat ke hulu ke hilir. Sekarang ni Along Yob tak mahu salam dengan aku and hubby aku. Busu Lod tak datang langsung ke kenduri. Pak Itam dah takut takut nak borak dengan kami. Semua sebab tanah dekat simpang tu.

***********************************

Aku perasan anak anak dara Alang dengan Acik sibuk berkaraoke masa kenduri tu. Kat sini agaknya dah adat kalau kenduri kawin mesti ada karaoke. Kak Long punya comment - "Masa dulu anak dara la sibuk tolong apa yang patut. Anak dara sekarang ni agaknya layak pasang badan aje. Tunggu nak berlaki."

***********************************

Hubby aku pernah ada crush dekat Mak Itam isteri Pak Itam. Boleh tak?

Aku ngantuk. Bahana terjaga pukul 4 pagi and tak boleh tido semula. Kui 8 terus bukak Star World tengok American Idol. Taylor Hicks menang. Dah agak dah. Tapi I can't help but feel disappointed for Katherine McPhee. Pompuan tu punya suara sedap siol. Semua lagu pun buleh bawak. Paling best masa dia nyanyi Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Nak nangis pun ada aku masa dengar tu. Sebab suara dia. Bukan sebab aku jiwang ke apa. Stylist American Idol ni pun pandai kasi touch up muka dia and baju dia. Aku suka tengok lipstick dia. Color mcm coral red ke apa tah. Lawa. Dresses dia pun cantik. Heels dia lagi la oh so gorgeous. Otak aku makin tak berkembang ke wei sebab dah tua baru nak minat bebenda macam ni. Dulu tak der la plak tergila gila nak tengok Pop Idol ke Malaysian Idol ke or American Idol ni. Ni kesahnya cikgu tak der keje la ni. Anak murid cuti. Roomate aku pun semua pegi kursus. Aku jek tak pegi lagi.

*********************************************************************************

Cousin aku Hakim nak kawin weekend ni. Selamat Pengantin Baru Hakim & Siti! Semoga korang dapat anak dulu keh keh. Jumpa korang kat Kuantan next week eh.
