I'm a book junkie and a chronic TV addict. I love to eat! I can't resist chocolates, ice creams, chocolate chip cookies and nasi lemak. Basically, I can't resist foods. period. Which reminds me to start my jogging regime. (yeah right!)
If I can shove the things I’ve purchased into my big magic bag or my "recycle" bag, I will; "taknak plastic bag" I said.
Not really for environmental reasons (that’s secondary. Guilty!). Just that there are too many plastic bags in the house! And in my room! I don’t want to go through the "breeding plastic bags in my almari" phase again.
On my way to work this morning, I stopped by at the 24h convenient store. The lady in Q in front of me bought one small chocolate drink. The cashier girl asked "nak plastik?", the lady said "yes". And then my turn, I have 2 items and the cashier girl has standby-ed a plastic bag in her hand. After she teet-teet my purchase, I just said "taknak plastik". Cashier girl said "Bagus! Dia tu (the lady with chocolate drink) tak alam sekitar betul".
I just smiled. Smile because she said "tak alam sekitar", that was cute.
And today, the world will be a better place for you and for me...and the entire human race.
Why la the people who have been persistently asking me to do a facebook account are the same people who I’ve been thinking of NOT wanting to add if I were to have a facebook account? As if I need more stress from you guys. No thanks, I had enough during our school & college years. Stop bullying me.
She said "wamai budak mengkeb kat sitew".
Ohmygod, please la save your babytalk for your babies.
p/s: Nowadays i'm so good at updating blog. aren't i?
On one hand, I'm reluctant to blog about this as I deem it as too serious of a topic for my blog and controversial too. But on the other, I feel the need to say it out.
This is about the well-known caning case and how people all around been giving their 2 cents' worth. I'm sure you've read the statements by Sisters in Islam (SIS) and Joint Action Group (JAG) for Gender Equality. (The Star's article).
SIS' Ms. Zainah Anwar said "…tried to project Malaysia as a model Islamic country, whipping was unacceptable and could be seen as too severe."She further added "Foreigners are interested to come to our country because of the moderate image we portray but, when they come here, they are shocked to find the level of conservatism practised. So where is this model Muslim country we have been trying to promote?".
Was she saying that moderate muslim drinks? (alcoholic drinks). Was she saying that it's ok for moderate muslim to consume alcoholic drinks? I know that other people can derive with all sorts of conclusion from one same thing and that was my first conclusion upon reading that article. Was there a category of moderate, conservative, extreme etc at a first place? Or are we all just simply "muslims"? How can she bothers & worries about the image portrayed, promoted to the world and undermined the government but yet she didn't worry at all on the portrayal and undermining God. Aaahh…that's right; People talk, God don't. But don't forget, God act. And please do not insult other people's intelligence, it was you who is shocked to find the level of "conservatism" practiced, not the foreigners. I don't think they give a hoot.
SIS' Dr Hamidah added "It is torture and a breach of human rights. We teach our children not to hit each other but then what are we, as adults and role models, showing the little ones if we condone such an act?". Dr. Hamidah, are you saying that you condone the consumption of alcohol? Because from my understanding, that was what you were saying. What are you trying to teach the little ones, Dr. Hamidah?
An opinion is one thing but an opinion to a public at large which are made by a person in a capacity of representing an association which name symbolizes Islam and upholding the virtues of Islam is totally another different ballgame. Personally, I think the statement is irresponsible. Ms. Zainah, Dr. Hamidah and SIS are irresponsible, stupidly irresponsible.
This is not a discussion on the lady who've been caught or on the punishment meted, not even on any other Syariah matters. This is only about the irresponsible opinions made by so-called Adult muslims on this one particular matter.
And JAG, I think you should've stick to fight and champion for equal pay of women in workforce or the blatant exploitation of women at large. Me thinks those are more important. And I don't think it is right for other people to ask for other people's law to be repealed. That's just so rude.
A week ago, it was bad. It was, for several days but I feel like it lasted forever. I feel like a dark heavy cloud with lightning and thunder looming over me everywhere I go. I feel like I’ve been getting the short end of the stick. And I mean, every single stick in this whole wide world!
Maybe it’s just my negative human mind was working overtime. I can be very negative, pessimistic and skeptical.
I wish it all will just go away.
Or maybe I’ll just transform my short ended stick into pretty tiny umbrella and stick it into my lemonade of life, yes?
No, it was not discovered by Jason Mraz (dammit) nor Oprah(dammit again) nor Larry King or Anderson 'gorgeous' Cooper for CNN (why not?) nor Sandra Bullock or Brad Pitt or my previous stalkee. Arghh, you get my drift la.
I discovered about the discovery after discovering a comment left by the discoverer. Now read it repeatedly as fast as you can. Hah! Anyway, the spookiest coincidence in the whole wide world (or maybe it's not a coincident), I think the first "Gotcha" comment was for my entry about Mak being a P.I. searching and asking for my blog! (Read here). Another comment was left here. Just to play with my mind, no names were left.
Ok, I have one main suspect and another one non-main suspect. The non-main suspect is Mak and I don't think it's Mak. If it's her, you can bet your bottom dollar she would've boasts non-stop about it as soon as I arrived home. Plus, she's too busy farming at Farmville! (yes, Mak has facebook account and I don't though I'm very tempted by the farming). Now, my main suspect is my techkie aunt. And I'm so not gonna link "my techkie aunt" to her blog because one, she'll definitely arrived here faster than I say "Snickers" and two, what if the person who left the comment under the pretense of discovering my blog was actually one of my 4 readers who just trying to pull my leg and unintentionally give me a panic attack in the process?
I'm not surprise if she discovered this blog as my cousinlinks me up but I'm surprised that she able to know that this blog is my blog. C'mon, what gives? Actually a lot! The smarty pants' girlfriend, the umrah, the race driver…Dang.
Come out. Come out wherever you are. (and gives my heart a rest)
Update:- I have discovered the discoverer through my blog counter. True enough, techkie aunt linked me up. But i said "Snickers" faster. Hah!
I had gone through several very important phases – ghee-d rice phase (I need to revisit this), Snickers phase (and this), Crunchie phase (this too), ghee balls phase (yes to this), famous amos phase (a definite yes to this).
Now, I’m in peanut butter phase. Crunchy please! Smooth for sissies. (Actually it’s not but I need some drama.). The more spread on the bread, the better. Well, no need for the bread, the betterest!
Absolute heaven
Whatever you do, do not..i repeat DO NOT eat your peanut butter with that wholemeal bread. That evil bread just ruins the sinful taste of heavenly peanut butter. In fact, DO NOT eat wholemeal bread at all.
~ Chef Wan received an invitation from THE Oprah Winfrey to appear in her show! I’m so jealous! I so want to be in THE Queen Oprah’s show! Hello your majesty Queen Oprah, i have an underlying motive when I blogged about you, tau. The underlying motive being is to appear on your show (and get free stuff, but that’s secondary, unless the free stuff is a car then it’s primary). Chef Wan, bring me along please..
~ Chris from Project Runway 4 is my favourite simply because he is absolutely very funny.
~ Permatang Pasir nomination day. Did you see the photo where the 2 candidates wore mask and their hands on each others’ masks, adjusting it? Ohmy, can’t it be more gay?! Why they agreed on such photo op is beyond my understanding.
