Happy Birthday Ahyyyy!

[drafted on 31st Dec, posted on the 5th Jan]

These cupcakes were made for Ahy for his birthday last year.

[See also all his birthdays here]


Baru tahun ni nak letak gambar-gambar ni...hehehehe, sowi Ahyyy.

Anyway...
HAPPY 26th BIRTHDAY,
AHYYYY!!!!

Ish, terlalu sekejap sangat adik-adik Kak Lin membesar. Dulu, I used to bathe the three of you, do your milk, ganti your lampin, help you with your art work, coach your school teams for an English choir, teach you songs, buy you books, blow your hair and apply hairspray before we go out berjalan-jalan sebab you were 'Mat Menyemart' eversince you were 4,5 years old.

Now, Ahy dah pandai buat kuki, pandai buat roti, buat ID works, dah earn money, have mind of your own, taking care of Umi Ayah Adi di Bangi... dan tak makan nasik for 4 years.

Now, you lot semua dah besar. Apatah lagi ahkak kau ni kahn.

Celebration of sorts + Belated Birthday Celi + advanced Birthday Ahy, 25-dec-2008, Bandar Sri Permaisuri. Nazim is our future new addition to the Rosley clan come this mid-March, insyaAllah.

Semoga Allah s.w.t akan memenuhi cita-cita Aban Ahy (that's what we all call him at home -- Aban Ahee) serta memberi kebahagiaan dan menambah rezki Aban Ahy pada tahun-tahun mendatang... Aaaamiiin.

We love you Aban Ahyyyyyyyyy!!!! Mwaks!

yaaaawn II

from wot i heard, johor tak cuti new year masehi hari khamis ni, sebab semalam dah new year ma'al hijrah.

tak tahu la betul ke tak. sangat malas nak find out.

but yeah, having only 2 days to work this week [will be taking my first day off in 2009 this coming friday] and hundreds of others around me taking the year-end leave too, leaves little motivation for me to bekerja dengan cemerlangnya.

[minta maaf kepada pembayar cukai yang mana daripada cukaimu itu juga gaji aku berasal. minta dihalalkan ya.... *kowtow kowtow*]

namun demikian [cewahhh], separuh hari ini, aku telah jumpa:

1. site comel ini... seekor kucing yang menjalankan blog help center dalam bahasa inggeris yang sangat comel. like, if you have qweschuns or artikul on cats and kittins that you want to share. the site is also good "fur cats and kittins hoo are not teknikly profishunt". tiyut, ey? ;

2. mother's day site;

3. etiquette site Emily Post dan juga wikipedianya;

4. my emotional quotient

5. perfume apakah aku

6. dan ironi sekali, articles on careers when in reality i been slacking off half of the day today.

minta maaf kerana membuang masa sedemikian rupa untuk mengubat my low-morale at this end of year.

ok nak siap-siap untuk pulang.

f~

yaaaawn

Sowi, aku tengah dilanda penyakit tak da mood nak update blog. Hanya ada mood nak jadi Labi in the pic -- tiduuuuur, and oblivious to everything else.

Esok aku jengah lagi ke sini kot... coz esok birthday Ahy pula. Pastinya I'll be dedicating something for him.

celebration of sorts

i'm feeling rather melancholic this morning. it's a celebration of sorts -- of births, of wedding, of coming of age.

i feel like i'm supposed to have achieved a lot in life, well, i thought i have. maybe i have. but not as much as i'd like it to be.

***

1 -- 23-dec-2008

welcome to the cruel world, dear beautiful, beautiful baby boy to this couple, who weighs at 3.05 kg, yesterday the 23rd December 2008, at 10.58pm. may the world treat you the kindest in your entire lifetime, and shower you with the best that she can offer in the most gentlest of ways... insyaAllah.

you have indeed been on my mind the entire week, hoping that your birthday would coincide with pakngah's and my wedding anniversary. close enough... your birth would be easily remembered!

your presence in the world has been much awaited, much prayed and much hoped for. love do be!


2 -- 24-dec-2008

it's also our 3rd wedding anniversary today. sekejap aje dah 3 tahun. tak pasti nak buat apa, pergi mana, beli apa for today. his mind is too engrossed with cartoonkini's year end Man of The Year award. not really the kind of mind one would like to celebrate anything with, kan. so... unfocused and all.






3 -- 25-dec-2008

it's my youngest bro's 24th birthday tomorrow. by the way, he's just started work with petronas in sg.udang...Alhamdulillah.

my prayers to you Dik, that your life would be easy on you, hidup Udi akan dirahmati dan dilimpahi berjuta-juta impian, dan semoga Udi dilindungiNya di mana-mana Udi berada atau segala apa yang Udi lakukan.

abgzul and i are most thankful that you're back safely for good in these difficult times in the family. you have grown to be the most kindest, rational, mature, sweetest and thoughtful man. i, as your eldest sister, am so so proud of you, Dik. you're the youngest but yet at times you act like as if you are the eldest -- caring unconditionally, leading where it needs to be led, a balm to torturous souls, a calm in the most troubled seas.

i am glad you are my youngest blood brother, dik, and no one else could be better than you.

we love you very very much, dik. we'll see you tomorrow at my place, mkay???

love, love, love and love.

Udi. taken on 25-dec-2005, his 21st b'day and my wedding do

4 -- 26-dec-2008

it's also my 24th IAmWoman Birthday the day after Udi's. *grins*

***

so, peeps, forgive me for being rather melancholic.

i feel like i'm supposed to have achieved a lot in life, well, i thought i have. maybe i have. but not as much as i'd like it to be.

peace.

How Umum is Umum?

"Good luck for the Paper Umum. I hope the questions are umum enough that you'll crunch 'em like peanuts. Umum question like, Siapakah Perdana Menteri kesayangan anda? And you'll sing along LaLaLaLaLaLaLah while answering it.."
~ a comment by Durian Di Dubai on 17-Dec-2008

Hehehehe, i WISH!

These are how Umum the questions were, mate:-

Ada 8 soalan out of gazillions of topics (Ok lah, maybe 27). Jawab 5.

Dah. Cukup-cukup lah aku nak sit for this paper lagi. Nak muntah dok menghafal & faham benda yang sama tiga kali...

If Only...

... I could morph out into something or someone else once in a while di waktu-waktu agak down begini. Just for a tiny-weeny-bit while. Like, to get out of reality for a bit kinda while.

And 'tis the nearest I could get to morphing. Terima saja lah Labuuuuuuuuuu...

Or here.

Go here for more time-killing fun.

As if keja aku tak cukup banyak la kan.

Lusa, Wedding Anniversary kami ke-3. Hak-ah, baruuuuu ke-3. Boleh tak stay 3 forever agaknya. Kan aku dah cakap, aku la ni in state of denial. Nak stay half-past 30 forever, and Abang to stay 46 forever too.

Reminds me that I need to prepare a piece for an entry for the day. Sempat ke hah. Malam tadi satu malam cari lagu sesuai untuk Abang. Tapi tak jumpa-jumpa.

The only tune Abang's singing to for the past weeks (yes, weeks. Not days. But weeks) is lagu tema the Indo sinetron "Gengsi Gede-gedean". Ya Allah adakala macam dengar lagu Teletubbies on the UK Top Chart -- aku rasa macam nak scream in madness. Kadang-kadang la. But usually, I'll miss him singing to it, knowing that if he's singing in his best of tones, it means that he's quite happy and contented.

Yeah. I love this man, man... warts, quirks, and all.

"langkahku smakin lelah berjalan menyusuri
mondar mandir di keramaian kota
hati yg bingung lamaran kerja ditolak
ngga tahu kenapa
mungkin kurang syaratnya

andai saja aku punya
harta yang berlimpah
aku takkan terhina

mikir-mikir daripada
ku melamar kerja
lebih baik ku melamar kamu"

Kami Tengok Bolt-3D

1.
How was my exam??? Okkkayyyyy lahhhhh. Semua hint keluar, Alhamdulillah. My friends pun sayang I 'coz I shared with them the hints that I got. So, all of us were happy.

But of course, last time aku ambil pun, semua hint keluar sebijik sebijon. Tak jugak dapat 4, kan? Hmph.

Aku dengar by next year, PTK exams maybe akan di-abolished and tukar dengan log books.

Part of me rasa lega... no more exams to sit, yeay!!! Another part rasa sakit hati... kot orang lain senang-senang aje nak fight for naik gaji next year even without sitting for exams like I have. Hmph.

See how, see how.

* Apa itu PTK, oleh Abg Mat Saman Kati.

2.
Lepas exam semalam, Abang suruh datang terus ke ofis dia sebab dia tengah kemaruk nak makan McD (mimpi apa tah. Takkan pregnant, kot?) and boleh terus tengok wayang. Maknanya, nak makan McD kat Midvalley lah tu, since McD kat Midvalley memang sebelah panggung aje.

I wanted to see the much-hyped Twilight. But Abang tak layan pun to my suggestion, and instead sibuk memilih between Beverly Hills Chihuahua or Bolt.

I thought he loved romantic films, but he corrected me. He loves romantic comedies, excuse me. Oooo, baik, lahhhh. I stand corrected.

I sms-ed Abg Tommy and asked his opinion between Twilight, Chihuahua and Bolt.

He said, if suka romantic mushy-mushy, choose Twilight. If suka romantic comedy and witty & funny liners, choose Chihuahua. Unfortunately, he's never seen Bolt.

With the reply, Abang kata maka dengan itu adalah menjadi tanggungjawab kita untuk menonton Bolt and review it to Tommy.


And to our surprise, ada Bolt 3D. Fuiyyyooo. Bukan wayang 3D hanya ada di I-Max aje ke? So we bought those tickets instead. RM17/tix. Not too bad actually, as compared to the one at I-Max. Maybe sebab guna technology apa yang ada aje kat Midvalley, kot. Ye la, kat I-Max guna dome-seating and dome-screen. Kat Midvalley takkan nak guna gitu just for Bolt, kot.

Well, what can I say. We just love the movie! We were so surprised to the fact that the movie wasn't at all like the movie posters outside -- so... untempting & uninviting, so to speak. Plus, it wasn't much hyped about here in Malaysia. At least, not like Wall-E, or Cars, or even Twilight, kan. Maybe because it was truly Disney without the help of the usual Pixar. So, people wouldn't think it to be as great as other works by the usual animation giants.

We may be biased about loving the film, since we're both suckers at cute, touching animal movies. At some part, I could even hear Abang sniffing while I was shedding a tear or two. What we both like most about the animals in the movie was that the animals still do act as animals -- they growl, purr, cuckoo, bark, do tricks and all. But when they're among themselves, they talk like us humans.

And the chasing scenes at the beginning of the movie -- best giler! Orang kampung macam aku dengan Abang sampai jerit-jerit sebab seronok dibawa Bolt lari laju-laju menyelit celah-celah kereta kat Hollywood, hahahah! Peghak bebenor.

Dan being orang kampung jugak, we were laughing and screaming our heads off as if kat panggung tu ada kami aje. Lantak la kan. Haha.

Cuma sayangnya the movie looks way darker with 3D glasses. Kalau depa ejaskan sikit brightness/contrast wayang tu, memang lagi best la kan [ingat ni KedaiFoto Adobe ke, nak ejas brightness/contrast eh].

I could also honestly say that Bolt [John Travolta] and "his person", Penny [Miley Cyrus], could not survive the film well if it were not for Mittens the stray cat, Rhino the hamster-in-a-ball and the strings of pigeons that the trio (Bolt, Mittens and Rhino) get to know of along the story.

I went back home after the movie, wanting to make a Bolt out of Labu and Labi.

Sigh.

Eiii, best giler, lahhhh.

Abang of course lah rasa lega sebab Bolt tu best. Ye la, dah le aku study till 2 pagi sebelumnya, kurang tidur, lepas exam pi makan dengan kawan-kawan kat Tony Roma's @ Pavilion (aiyohhhhhhhhhh sedapnyaaaaaaaaa), pastu turun naik public transport, berjalan sana sini lagi semata-mata nak ke ofis Abang b'coz he has cravings over McD and I wouldn't want him to waste time fetching me at home before going for a bite (McD doesn't do deliveries to Bandar Sri Permaisuri. Rugi kan depa???). Letih jugak woh.

Bak kata Abang bila dah sampai rumah malam tadi, "Nasib baiiiiiiiiiik Bolt tu best. Kalau tidak, mesti kena maki punya. hahahaha".

Hehe. Macam laaaaaaaa aku pernah maki dia. Kan dosa besar kalau maki suami, hmph.

Lepas ni nak cari DVD pulak. Better still, if my assistant can download it from the Net. hehehe

Kak Lin, study til nak muntah.

Abg Zul, masih meeting di HQ.

Time, 9.35pm.

In 14.5 hours' time, I will be free! Weeeee!

In the meantime... Five done, two more BIGGER subjects to go. Huak. Letih kepala akewww.

The Brevity of Life

Sekejap aje 2008 akan berakhir.

How I wish there were extra 24 hours for each of the remaining 14 days. Kot la aku boleh sempat expedite lagi the things I've yet to start, or even to accomplish what I've aimed for in 2008.

Truth? I'm not ready to leave the 'half-past 30' mark. I am still in denial that age is catching up real fast and yet I still have a lot to do.

Umi Ayah will be in their 60s next year, and that, too, is too much for me to bear. I want and still need them to be forever young and energetic.

Sigh. I haven't done a lot, you know. I haven't done a lot. At least not for them. Sigh.

And you know how these days life's becoming so... brief. One moment you're well, kicking others at their butts, hurting, forgiving...the next moment you're gone.

***

Al-Fatihah, to abg Mat Zahari's newly-wed son & daughter-in-law, who succumbed to their Friday's injuries on Monday and Saturday respectively. Abg Mat is Suara Keadilan's News Editor. Semoga Allah memberi kekuatan ke Abg Mat sekeluarga untuk mengharungi saat-saat getir begini...

***

And Al-Fatihah too to bro Syukree [here and here] who passed away in his sleep this morning around half 9, after a year long battle with a mysterious illness that subsequently changed his character.

Syukree was one of SK's most dedicated staff/journalist before he got sick earlier last year. News about his passing over here. A very nice, kind-hearted, darling young man, who had, to my surprise and sadness, turned into someone bitter and spiteful when I last saw him up and about at the recent Congress.

But, two days ago dia datang ke pejabat Abang, tunggu Abang di pintu untuk minta maaf for his slanderous remarks over SK staffs the past month, particularly to Abang. It was plastered all over his blog which really hurt a lot of people at the SK office (he had closed down the long-running blog since last week, me thinks).

Abang being Abang, forgave him, knowing he's been ill. Some of his ex-colleagues and friends still refused to forgive, though.

And at 10.30 this morning, Abang received a phone call from Syukree's brother regarding the shocking news.

I hope by now people have sincerely forgiven him, and remember his old self rather than the ill, spiteful one.

Coz that's how you want to be remembered, you know. The good, kind and lovely side of you, which I believe was what Syukree was till the end. And Syukree was barely 25, I think.

He could've done more great, great things in life. Tapi Allah lagi sayangkan dia, and saves him from further destruction...

May you finally rest in peace...

Esok pagi is my Paper Umum, taken the 3rd time within a year. Not sure if I'm more prepared this time round. Boy I do need some luck nevertheless. *sakit perut*

Raya Korban Akak: Jari Itu

Warning: This Post Contains Images Which May Not Be Suitable for Viewing and May Cause Nausea Due to the Horrific Nature In Which the Subject is Portrayed.

Heh heh, I've always wanted to say that in my blog. But yeah, the above warning applies for the images of my jari kena sagat as posted below.

I thought I wanted to share how my Umi swears on a lot of Minyak Gamad on any luka before the luka started dripping blood, and avoiding the said luka dari kena basah.

But you know, it was Raya time and nak tak nak aku kena 'turun padang' buat kerja sama-sama di dapur, though I had a lot of help from both Umi and Ayah on the cleaning part. Aku jadi tukang lap aje kali ni, heh heh.

That said, I donned a plastic bag on my right hand and put a getah around the wrist. We have surgical gloves at home, but I'm allergic to the powder inside the glove -- sungguh mengada, kan -- so had to resort in wearing something so not kewl la kan. Guests would ask me kenapa dengan tangan? I would answer, rendang sedap tak? Kalau sedap, ini lah dia *tunjuk jari berbalut*.

Hahaha.

Anyhoos, the sagat part happened on Raya eve (7-Dec) at 5-ish in the evening. So, Pic 1 was 4 hours after that when my bros nak help me change the dressing. Pic 2 was taken on the next day -- kecut-kecut sebab pakai plastic lama naa 'coz orang ramai datang. Pic 3 was day 3 of the luka, at night, before I retire. Pic 4 was taken this morning, which made the luka 4-days old.

Click image for larger view -- kalau tak geli la kan.

So, okay, it wasn't like one fifth of my kuku got busted la kan, but it sure felt that way. Lepas ukur-ukur, maybe one-ninth aje la. Mujur dah kawin, idok le jatuh saham akew. Ngeeee.

But the luka healed pretty awroit ey??? Now I can join Umi swearing our lives on Minyak Gamad too.

And am I ever serik to use the mesin kelapa??? Naaah. Just a tad more cautious. Masa aku guna tu pun sebenarnya I was cautious than ever -- sambil mesin mulut terkumat-kamit baca Bismillah b'coz there were 10 kelapas to parut.

But the tempurung terpelanting masa I was not terkumat-kamit and instead fikiran tengah termelayang ke something else I couldn't recall. Perhaps Allah was trying to teach me something for inadvertently forgetting Him for a mili-second. Padan la dengan muka akew.

***

You know, when I was small, small accidents like this would only invite anger from my dad for being careless. He would sympathize like no end punya simpati, macam the world could close in on him b'coz I got hurt. But at the same time tangan dia naik "BEDEBAP!!!" ke bahu aku or lengan aku or usually bontot aku (mujur la banyak 'kusyen' kat situ, kan. Haa now you know why la my bonts evolved in such a way, haha). Sakit woh, no joke. It was a reminder to be more careful. But of course it made you want to howl out loud -- dah le luka, sakit, atu kena marah la pulak. Apa kehalnya Yob, kan?

The time my jari got sagat, Ayah was outside gardening. He only knew about it later on at night masa nak tukar dressing (Pic 1) when Umi told him while he was lying watching the telly.

Ayah, with muka saaaaaaaaangat simpati and concern like he was equally in pain too, bangun and asked me, "Hah??? Mana??? Mmph-mmph-mmph Kak LiiiiiinnNNNN, teruk ke??? Anak Ayah kalau luka, Ayah rasa sakit, tau!!"

Aiseymen. Aku dah takut ni. Helo aku ni dah kawin takkan la still dia nak "BEDEBAP!!!" lagi kat bonts aku kan? He was this *put together thumb and index finger* close to slap me somewhere, nonetheless!

Cepat-cepat aku buat muka kesian and cried out to him, "Tapi Ayaaaah, Kak Lin dah kawiiiiin, saham Kak Lin dah dibeliiiiiii, tak payah nak jatuh-jatuh daaaah!"

Terus dia cool down, hahahahahaha! But still muka dia berkerut-kerut macam dia yang sakit, tak habis-habis "Mmph-mmph-mmph!", "Mmph-mmph-mmph!".

Esok-esok akak sakit beranak, cemaner la agaknya Ayah akak tu. Mmph-mmph-mmph *geleng kepala*.

f~

Their World

I wonder if Labu Labi know the word "demam".

I know they don't know the word "hate" exists.

All they know is "eat", "sleep", "play", "pee", "poo"... and "love".

Tengah nak siap-siap balik Cheras. Abang has meeting at 2pm. Other than that, he'll be on leave till Friday. Yeay!! Tak tau nak ke mana lagi, though. Maybe ke rumah Udi di Melaka, kot. See how, see how.

f¤

Raya Korban Akak: Pagi

It could've been the kind of Eid I'd enjoy, dengan cuaca mendung yang sangat menyejukkan the hot mammal in me, if it were not for my right thumb yg tertanggal one fifth of kuku & in place daging thumb yang berlubang kena sagat mesin kelapa petang semalam, my 'first day' pain, and Abang yang demam teruk dari semalam.

Ya, tak jadi balik Kedah hari ni. Blessing in disguise, really. Back pain, mens pain, thumb pain... Hilang mood aku nak bermuka manis.

The rendang-rendang taste extra delicious nonetheless. Mesti sebab ada terpercik setitik-dua darah akak masa sagat jari parut kelapa. Mmm, yum.

f¤

Much Awaited Long Break

It's my last day of work today before going off for a week next week! I wouldn't know whether those days would be totally resting days for both Abang and I, or it'd get worse from there. You know la, holidays usually make you more tired than feeling refreshed.

Will be going back to Bangi with the furkids on Sunday morning. Abang pre-warned me that his office will be working really late this Sunday to complete as much pages before the Raya Haji break the next day and deadline on Tuesday.

Fine by me. At least I could help Umi with the rendang-making and what not on Raya Eve. Nak kena masak lebih kali ni, nak bawak balik sikit ke Pendang since we couldn't spare much rendang for Pendang during last Aidilfitri (macam terasa nak buat lagu rap pulak: Rendang for Pendang. hehe).

Abang's plan so far has been as such:

• Raya Haji Monday: to Pendang after solat Raya in Bangi
  
• Tuesday: to Jitra for Family Day with Abang's family. Abang plans to stay over for the night in Jitra while the rest balik on the same day.
  
• Wednesday: travelling back down south. Maybe stop half-way at Kangsar (or somewhere else interesting) for a night or two. Wanted to stop at Penang and stay at my organisation's Apartment, but it's all fully booked.
  
• Thursday: Kangsar (or somewhere else interesting)
  
• Friday: back to KL

For once Abang decided to wriggle his way out of the office and have a break with me, The Wife. I hope his break will not be spoiled with frantic phone calls or emails what so ever from the office or where ever, 'else his break with me, The Wife doesn't serve any purpose does it?

Ye la, akak bengang la jugak. Orang lain dalam ofis dia boleh pula ambil cuti. Pastu laki akak pulak tu yang kena cover keja diorang. Padahal laki akak ni Big Boss. Tak faham akak, kan. I been too patient for far too long, mind you.

As for me, I just need to rest, that much needed rest and get-away, before I go madly insane from all the rat-race, routine, family, the City and bad, unhealthy air. Lagi best kalau dapat berambus pi Pulau Perhentian ka, or Sabah ka.

Come to think of it, we could've (berambus to KK), couldn't we ~ Wednesday pagi pi KK, Jumaat tengahari balik KL. Sheesh. If only Abang's break could be planned way earlier for me to book all sorts.

Ah well. Yang paling penting, we both can go somewhere and rest as much as we can. Better still if we could make as much babies, too.

Oh I'm so gonna miss Labu Labi next week.

Labi Ucuk-ucuk

But before the break, it’s going to be rigorous washing and cleaning for tonight and tomorrow. I wouldn’t like to be coming back after a long break to a dirty and dusty house with mountain-load of laundry. Hilang terus holiday mood aku nanti. Dengan Abang-abang sekali kena tempias. Korang pun gitu jugak kan, tak kaa? Ngeeee

Note to self:
Harus bawa nota PTK kulu-kiler sebab diterima re-sit for Umum Paper on the 18th (my No.3 re-sit, uols! Aaack!)! Boleh ka akewww (belajar)?

Saaaaaayang Dia

Alhamdulilah, Kerajaan BeeEnd telah kali ke-5 menurunkan lagi harga petrol di dalam negara... syukuuuuuuur kita dengan kerajaan umur 51 tahun ini yang sangat prihatin dengan masalah dan kemelut rakyat yang saban hari ada sahaja berita kena retrench baik di dalam mahupun di luar negara.

Juga, akan 'penarikan' semula [ke, kajian semula??? malasnya aku nak google] fatwa yoga.

Ish, kenapalah rakyat tak sayang Kerajaan BeeEnd ni haa? Dah la depa ada akai, penyayang pulak tu. Put aside those jibaok-jibaok kurang ajar ~ don't you just love Kerajaan BeeEnd these days? Only fools [like me once] aje yang tak pandang tinggi dengan pengorbanan, titik peluh dan bijak-pandai mentadbir negara macam Kerajaan BeeEnd ni, taww. Ohhh I so miss them back home in Bangi. Maklumlah, Selangor is now a Pakatan Rakyat state maa. I mean, what can a budak hingusan do, kan???

I'm expecting a further 6th and 7th petrol cut prior to the T'ganu By-Election... don't y'all? I know they won't let the rakyat down. I just know.

My wish and pray for the Kerajaan BeeEnd to win the By-Election and win big this time! You certainly deserve it! Way to go, BeeEnd!!!

The Night When The Sky Smiled

[updated 3-dec-2008, 5pm:

• Amazing smiley moon pics from M'sia, Abu Dhabi and Riyadh;
  
• Smiley moon pic from The Philippines;
  
• Smiley moon pic from Down Under;
  
• Smiley moon pic from India
  
• AND amazing smiley moon pics from around the world!]

Last night while driving home from Abang's office, I saw something really strange up in the sky, which was this...


... and almost instantly a text message from Amy came through:

"Kak Lin, cuba tengok bulan skarang, mcm smiley face with two stars mcm mata"

Hehehehehehe, memang tiyut! Aku reply.

Aku sampai aje rumah, Abang pulak call dari office:

"Ni kenapa tah bebudak kat ofis semua pakat turun tengok bulan. Perhaps you wanna check out why, too"

Aku pun beritahu Abang that the moon wants to play clown on us tonight, keluar smiley face hehehehehe

I sms-ed a few people on the smiley moon, unfortunately their sky was cloudy so they couldn't see. So, to those yang tak dapat tengok macam mana rupa smiling night sky malam tadi, macam gambar kat atas tu le rupanya!

Kalau tiap-tiap malam sebelum malam bulan terang langit senyum macam ni kan best. Rasa happy aje.

f~

Abang's Tee

Beli beli! murah murah! T-shirt kartun by Zunar, original punya! Ini yew mesti ta boley cari punya dekat petaling street kaa, masjid india kaa, bukan tiru-tiru punya ok!

This t-shirt with Abang's masterpiece was sold in one of the gerais at the congress, done by Abang's friends. There were apparently many other designs yang cun-cun -- I still keep their proposals that they presented to Abang, and am duly impressed! -- tapi diorang buat yang ini dulu to test the market.

I'm not even sure where they'd sell the tees after the congress, but I heard they're gonna send some stocks to the Ricecooker@C.M.

Largest size available at the time this pic was taken was XXL, which is still 1 size smaller for both Abang & I, which of course made us both feel rather disgruntled. Ye la, we're both supposed to be the patron-saint of the big, bold and beautiful...tiba-tiba jual (or rather, allow friends to jual) t-shirt yang kami sendiri tak selesa pakai, hehe.

I hope by now the size issue dah being taken care of dah 'coz Abang dah inform kawan dia that perhaps he should take out the S-size tee altogether and downgrade the current M-size to S-size instead. Baru la tuan melukis katun boleh pakai, kannaaaa.

Will update on where/how to buy, how much, and what sort of other designs available.

Btw, also ada lengan panjang. Colours in white, black and brown.

Beli nanti, eh? Eh? *grins*
