(Note: Afnan & Sorfina tu anak aku. Mak Su tu adik suami aku yang bongsu.)

Afnan: Ibu, tadi kan, Mak Su tulis surat cinta.

K-lynn: Ha? Surat Cinta?? Mana awak tau?

Afnan: Iye! Sebab dia tak kasi Afnan baca.

K-lynn: Pandai jelah awak. Surat cinta tu apa?

Afnan: Alah, dia ada love, love (he means hearts ♥).

Sorfina: Surat cinta tu, perempuan bagi lelaki, lelaki bagi perempuan. Lepas tu dia ada love. Dengan ada pin.

K-lynn: (PIN?? WTH??) Dalam surat cinta tu dia ada tulis apa?

Afnan: Dia tulis I Love You.

K-lynn: Oh, eh? Kalau ibu tulis surat kat Afnan tulis I love you tu, surat cinta lah ye?

Afnan + Sorfina: Haah.

K-lynn: Kalau Ayah bagi Ibu, Ayah bagi Sorfina itu pun surat cinta?

Afnan + Sorfina: Haah.

K-lynn: Kalau ibu bagi Sorfina?

Afnan: Bukan, itu surat biasa. Sebab perempuan bagi perempuan.

K-lynn (dalam hati): Pandailah korang. Surat Luar Biasa macam manalah pulak.

Part 1: 5 Facts about Eny

1. Personally I think she has OCD. Heheh. I don’t think she would disagree sebab for example, kalau gi makan luar she only drinks non cold bottled water. Lepas tu, byk lah benda lain.
2. She has so many siblings, I am amazed. And they seem so close knitted too.
3. Aku salut dengan Eny sbb telah berani cabut 4 batang gigi sekali gus. Kau mmg berani.
4. I always thought Eny is younger than me, I never knew we are of the same age. I guess whatever awet muda she’s using, it’s working lah kot.
5. If it wasn’t for Nurul, maybe tak kenal kot si Eny ni.. or I would be calling her something else other than Eny. Frankly (and I’m sorry) aku tak ingat apa nama penuh si Eny ni.

Part 2: 10 Interesting Facts About Me/ My hobbies

1. Sebab Eny related, so I’lltalk about something she knows: I prefer cooking spaghetti for guests because the ingredients are usually easily available because I can buy them in advance – canned mushroom, tomato puree, oregano, frozen minced meat, spaghetti. Only thing fresh is onion lah kot.
2. Part of my body that gets cold very easily are my toes. Too cold sometimes. When I gave birth to Afnan and Sorfina, my Dad used to feel my toes and scolded me for not wearing socks. My Dad took berpantang agak seriously sebab he was the one who took care of my mother when she gave birth to us.
3. Between the age of 13 and 15, I had a habit of doodling on my school uniform’s kain. You know the biru laut kain. Why? Bored.. and malas nak keluarkan buku conteng. So my kain sekolah, tak boleh nak dipass-downkan kepada sesiapa. 
4. So everyone knows I like to bake. And my cakes are sedap, but they are ugly.
5. I have a habit of keeping/putting things under my pillow. Ever since I in tadika kot, even till now. A lot less now, but still do. Ask sufi, berapa banyak barang aku bwah bantal masa kat Bkt Kiara dulu.
6. My son’s friends (from tadika) calls me Akak instead of auntie or makcik. They introduce me to their mom as Kakak Afnan, instead of Mak Afnan which is more embarassing rather than flattering. 
7. Once upon a time, I thought my siblings macam ramai. Tapi dah besar-besar ni, rasa macam sikit, tak cukup. Sorang dah kat sana, another there, tiba-tiba dah sikit.
8. Even though I have moved into my own home in Seremban 2, whenever people ask me where do  live, I would tell them my mom’s place, which is Bukit Chedang. Why? Entah dah terbiasa. Maybe also because whenever I come back from work, I have to go there first kot.
9. Alah saya dah takde benda nak share. I think I’ve done this tagging thing numerous times, I’ve sort of bared it all for all to know. What is left about me, that is so mysterious? Takdak dah… hmmm. So, 9 is enough lah for the time being, ya.

Part 3: 10 most deserving

10. dan terakhir, back to Eny.

1. Self Made Tir@misu – had to taste it. to verify sedap ke tak. ended up eating the whole cup. Anyway, texture dah ok. Tapi taste needs much improving. And I definitely will not use mascarp0ne cheese lagi. Sungguh terasa susu lembu.

2. Fried Mee – at mom’s home. Sedapnye. Mungkin sebab mak masak. Mungkin sebab free. Heheh.

3. St@rbucks Iced Vanilla Coffee Jelly Coffee Latte – so sangat sleepy. Didn’t plan, but suddenly found myself at the outlet’s counter (suddenly?? Hahaha, yeah right).. Basically i think it’s just the usual Vanilla Latte I used to order, plus the coffee jelly. Coffee jelly is just like cincau, but softer. Sedap.. hmmm

Now am planning to get BK Singles Mushroom Cheese for lunch.. planning je. Maybe not..

Talk about piling up the calories.. hehehe.

1. Why, when I’m pissed angry, I feel like eating?
2. Why, when I’m stressed out, I feel like eating?
3. Why, when I eat, I get fat?
4. Why, do these people need to let off their steam on me?
5. Why, do I need to ask these questions?

Why.

1. People who takes up other people’s lane.

The road markings are there for a reason. So that you stay in your line when you drive. Like when you color… you stay inside the line. I could be considerate and understand if say, maybe, you’re turning at a corner or something. But this is a !@#$%*& straight line. If you’re drunk or too happy or in any way emotionally instable too drive, then don’t.

2. People Who Do Not Signal When Changing Lane

On a straight lane, I would most probably be driving fast. Maybe too fast for your own good. But that does not mean I cannot accomodate when you need to change lanes. But how the %$&@ am I supposed to know your intention if you do not tell me. And the language on the road is to turn on your signal light. And you have the nerve to glare AT ME when you’re obviously the guilty party?

3. People Who Beams At You When You Are Struggling to Give Way

Okay, as I said before.. I drive in the fast lane. But I am aware that you drive FASTER. And I obviously do not want to be in your way or in any way hasten your pace. But as you can see, and please try to see, I have given my signal light to go left, but there are obviously to many cars for me to do it RIGHT NOW, THIS INSTANCE. SO PLEASE STOP BLINKING YOUR HIGH BEAMS ON ME!

 

The ones that (almost) EVERYONE has watched.

1. Four Weddings and a Funeral

2. That Thing You Do

… ada lagi nanti saya tambah.

Blog aku. Suka hati aku. Sebab I have all these negativity in my system, i need to channel it out. Tak suka, jangan baca.

1. Lapar. Pagi tadi lapar. Sekarang masih lapar. Nak puasa? Sesudah subuh dan minum seliter air.

2. Kenapa semua orang bagi report tak lengkap???!!!

3. Agen insurans aku memang sesuai dibahasakan. Hari tu kata nak renewkan road tax aku, pastu lupa. Skrg you expect ME to pay for the extension? Jgn harap. Sekarang macam mana aku nak kerja??!!

4. Budak² ni manalah pulak.. aku pon ada kerja lain nak buat. Bukan nak tunggu engkau je! Suka sangatlah ngular.. boleh tak buat time aku takde kerja untuk korang.

5. I hate myself. Maybe I’m just hungry. Kenapa Nurul tak reply sms aku? Aku nak gi carik kopi lah..

This is the same post as my Facebook Note.. since dah lama tak update, just replicate jelah… Actually this entry is so long overdue. Sorrylah to those who tagged me, probably korang pon dah lupa.

Anyway, here goes:

1.  I was born on a friday.

2.  I have a habit of putting things everywhere and then forget them.

3.  I always believed and still do that one day, I’ll win a car.

4.  I love maple syrup. I especially love maple syrup with butter, eaten with pancake, waffle or toast.

5.  I have a habit of doing things at the very last minute. Ideas turn up better at those hour. But quality, of course out lah.

6.  I hope I would actually jog every weekend, as I had planned.

7.  I love coffee. When I was doing my practical, I had Coffeebean IB every week. Until I was overdosed with caffein, that I couldn’t even stand the smell of coffee. It’d give a headache. But now I’m ok.

8.  I would order teh o ais limau when I eat outside. Or Ice Lemon Tea.

9.  I dream of a home with 7 rooms, complete with a laundrette and mini library, among other things.

10. I got married at the age of 23. These days if I heard someone was getting married at 23, I’d think they’re awfully young.

11. I can’t bring myself to fold the laundry. I don’t know why. To me, it’s just torture.

12. I am scared of lizards. Cicak to be specific.

13. I love playing on the swings, ever since I can remember. Was it 4 years old? I don’t know. And I still do. Now, I’m so proud that my daughter can swing herself high without my help. My husband, afraid that she would fall reminded her not to swing too high and asked me, how does she know how to do that? Proudly I said, I taught her. *Grinning ear to ear*

14. I’ve always had color pencils (at least) with me, wherever I went. School. College. Uni. Integer. BTMK. And then, when I was at BED, I don’t know what happened. I was color pencilsless, if I may say. But when I was buying stationery for Afnan, I bought him the 12 colors coloring pencils and 48 colors for me. Hehehe.

15. I used to berangan of owning a shop for papers. Color papers. For art and craft. Little did I know (then) that other people would have the same aspirations.

16. I’ll be close to 30 years this year (as someone put it).

17. I’ve been calling up radio stations ever since I was 11.

18. I’ve just realized that I have so many blogs, I can’t keep up with myself. And this one, considering it from friendster, is the longest.

19. I got stuck at #19 while trying to write 25 random facts.

20. I can’t stand itchiness. Kalau nyamuk gigit, mmg tak boleh ignore. I had a hard time sleeping at PULADA sbb gatal all over. Thank god for ubat gatal yang mengantukkan.

21. I love my own iron. I think irons are very personal.

22. Talking about iron, reminds me of Jeremy Irons and Man in the Iron Mask (which Irons is also in it).. which brings to this fact about me: Saya suka cerita zaman kuda. ie: Three Musketeers (and the nice song: All for Love), First Knight, A Knight’s Tale, etc.

23. I think my favorite colors are green, gray, brown and maroon.

24. I used to dislike my name when I was between 6 and 7 years old.. because I didn’t know how to pronounce it. I thought, who’d in their right mund spell a name (or word) starting with two vocals and then two vowels. (My vocab was so low at 6).

25. Eh, last one already? I’m so glad that I got this over with. Finally!

I could list all of my miseries.. but let’s not. For whatever Allah has granted us, let’s be thankful. Syukur.

Hari tu aku dengar interview Ally dengan Tun Jeanne Abdullah di TV3. What really caught me (all of the things that Tun had said) was, she said we must be humble. If you think you had it bad, somebody out there, must have it worse than you. If you think you have it good, there are better things than this. So whatever you get, syukur. (Or something along that line). Entah kenapa..

And then yesterday, I read about my friend, whose Dad is diagnosed with cancer, exactly 5 years after her mom passed away due to cancer.

And I know how hard and painful it is to see someone you know, even more a family member, fight cancer. I would never wish it for anyone, as she had once said to me. And with that aku rasa terinsaf, when I think of my Dad. As painful as it is to accept, how Dad has passed away, Allah had gave me such an easy test to go through as compared to my friend. If Dad had suffered, he spared us from suffering seeing him suffer.

To June, I would pray for strength and keredhaan for you through this trying time. Take care and you know the number to call for lunch or anything. Kirim salam to An and Kak Marina. Take care.

Wow.. it’s been soooo long. There’s so much dust too, being collected here. Though I miss blogging so much, I don’t know why I haven’t done so.

And today, I’m trying to get the ball rolling again. Maybe it’s the memories of my Dad that’s been creeping up these past few days that had brought my fingers back to the keyboard.

Anyway, focus on the entry’s topic, I haven’t been to the movies for quite some time. I think the last movie I watched was Quantum of Solace. And this month, a lot of interesting movies are coming out. Hopefully I will able to catch some, at least by next week.

These are on my MUST watch list:

1. Confession of a Shopaholic – the first time I read the book, I knew it would be motion picture eventually. It has all the ingredients.. and I kept waiting for it to materialize. And now it’s finally here, no way am I gonna miss it.

2. Talentime – mom’s been bugging me to watch it. Might as well. There’s Jac in it.

3. He’s Just Not That Into You – I’m a sucker for Drew Barrymore. That’s it.

Okaylah, all my choices are membosankan. But I like free and easy movies. Hidup aku seharian dah cukup drama dan suspens dll.
