3 days before merdeka 2007

it’s been so long since i last wrote here. a lot has happened in the mean time. the sch hols is just over. went to kl and bought some fabric for baju raya. will have to make them myself. sape nak ambil tempahan for raya this late. bercinta sungguh nak potong, menjahit ok lagi. and was hoping my website would already be up online at this time, but seems that is not to be. will not take delivery of incomplete product. must push2 some more. kalau i la buat kerja tak ikut deadline, alamat tak kekal lamalah.

the old flag is still in the drawer. haven’t checked and see if it’s still in a condition fit for flying. perhaps the color has faded so badly such that what’s left is only a semblance of a flag. will not be appropriate to fly it then. mcm kedekut pun iya jugak. beli lah yang baru. tak kuasa pula.

anyway, baby, whenever she sees a flag flying will shout “merdeka”. so we said, “sayang, that’s not merdeka, that’s bendera.” she would be mad. she would insist that the red, white and blue thingy flying is called “merdeka”. iya kan aje, tak kuasa gaduh. after all, she’s only 4.

have not made plans for the extended wkend. most probably will just stay home. dh will be busy with things related to work cuz he’s leaving for ID on Sept 5. perhaps we can have a barbecue, but there’s just the 4 of us so it wld not be much fun. penat prepare dan mengemas aje.

work that was scheduled to come in this week has not materialised. perhaps it’s a sign for me to complete baju raya quickly this week because something is gonna come in the mailbox soon.

this, too, shall pass

i snooped around and uncovered things i wish i didn’t. now i don’t know how to feel or what to do. in the past this would mean a bitter fight. i must have detached my feelings because i can’t feel any pain. i guess if u’ve been hurt so much and so many times before nothing can hurt you anymore.

anyway, my priorities have shift. i won’t let this negativity ruin me or my life.

my boy

my son wrote a script for his school’s drama club. i have no idea what the play is all about, but i bet it’s about war lords and stuff. anyway, they took part in the SBP’s southern zone drama competition, and his school came out tops! so they are going to be competing at the national level which will be held at tkc on apr 28. apart from writing the script, he has a small role in it, small because the character dies quickly. anyway, i’m proud of him!

nug, nug

my sayang bought a pingu cd and she’s been playing it over and over again. if he talked, i’m sure she must have memorized the script! but pingu is so lovable and so much fun to watch, one can never get tired of it!

here’s pingu on youtube.

late night tales

have not been tending to the garden lately. the lawn has to be mowed. but i’m lazy. truth is i’m still busy. whenever i get a break, i hit the couch and fall asleep. oh is beginning to hate it. he doesn’t say it, but i know. he’s been away for most weekends the past month or so. soon the sem will end and we’ll spend more time together. doing nothing. merambu. just like we did last wkend. went to JJTC. i only wanted to buy figo jars to keep cookies in. but ended up spending hundreds of $. and all because i liked this new electrolux vacuum cleaner. it’s light n cute. i like the color. and it’s telescopic. we got home, i opened the box and put it together and tested it. the telescopic feature comes at a price. though the vac itself is light, the telescopic rod makes it heavy cuz it’s made of some kind of metal. so light is not light anymore. it even feels awkward when using it because of the weight. will try to use it again to see if i can get used to it. otherwise must keep the old vac too.

and the yard. there’s like hundreds of snails there. perhaps thousands. they are everywhere. i can’t plant anything without them getting to it first. my veggies will sprout today, and gone tomorrow. my cacti -  one of their favorites. thorns and all. and screwpine leaves? eeewww… will never get to use the pandan for anything. must wait for new leaves to come out.

my alamanda is flowering. haven’t taken pictures of the flowers yet. must remember to take pix before they are all gone.

the book project, i doubt if it’ll ever go thru. dirt cheap. am not that desperate at this time though the fame could embellish my cv very well.
