Sleepyhead In Surrey

By far this is the most boring class that I've taught. You get only 9 students but you expect that some of them would be jovial and funny. At least that was the experience that I got for the past two semesters. Tapi kali ini masyaallah! how boring. The kids (some of them are actually OLDER than me!) that are intelligent and enthusiastic enough turn out to be skema, those that do look like they could make some noises in the classroom are not interested in the subject. And there is a couple that are so quiet and introverted that I just don't know whether they understand what I am jabbering about or not. But the IP addressing issues did get them stoked. I got asked a lot of questions, made to conjure case studies out of thin air. Luckily, Uncle Cisco has helped me a lot. Now I do have the extra confidence to teach especially IP addressing. But in between there were no funny jokes, no singing remarks. I kinda expected this type of crowd to be the good ones before I started teaching but now I long for the antics of Suhaimi and Ismail, and the cheekiness of Nurul and Hilmi. Guys, repeat some papers why don'tcha?

Meanwhile, check out the flowers I got for my birthday last year. Ferrerro Rocher no less!

and freebies? We just LOVE them, don't we? I was at a launch party of a Learning Management System recently and I've seen a crowd build up just to get the freebies. No matter that they are not the targeted audience, that they never have and never will use the system. There were freebies to be had and they weren't shy about queuing up to get all the goodies. Or is it a universal thing?

It's beginning to change. My point of view, that is. Ever since I took the plunge to make myself better spiritually. I hope it keeps up. The only thing is to remember to accept the negatives as a stepping stone. I'm happy, though, that the offers have come pouring in. I hope it's a blessing. Sri Iskandar is beginning to look better. To buy or not to buy? To accept or not to accept? Can I have an ice-cream sundae and mull over it or should I go straight to the cleaners?

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.
Ishkin turned 2 last two days. In her world there is only dolphin, mushu and uncle joe. Oh, what bliss to be ignorant....

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?
