Triplets on TV.

I've been wanting to do this for a very long time.

I have always thought that these certain people look like each other, so to prove that I put their pictures together and GOSH!

Despite them being celebrities and all, it's quite tough to find pictures of them in the same angle. But finally, TA-DA! Here it is. See if you agree.

Here we go again.

The whole issue of the Johor headmistress throwing racist remarks on all four corners of the earth has raised many eyebrows and opened many mouths.

I say, don't be fooled by the media! We have no clue of what exactly happened. My dear friends of the offended races, don't be ignited with flames of hatred. Laugh! Heartily like I do, or make fun of her funny statement.

According to reports, she made up an analogy;

"SAYA BAWA KERETA PROTON SAGA. AH CHONG & MUTHU MENUMPANG DALAM KERETA SAYA. KAMI SAMA-SAMA MENUJU KE SATU DESTINASI.TETAPI ITU TIDAK MENJADIKAN AH CHONG & MUTHU MEMILIKI KERETA ...PROTON SAGA TERSEBUT KERANA SAYA TETAP PEMANDU."

and a few other racist remarks which I'm not sure of.
But the analogy above is so funny, I decided to come up with a continuation. You ready?
' Selepas itu, Muthu, Ah Chong dan saya keluar daripada kereta Saga saya. Muthu terus mengeluarkan semua tayar kereta saya. Dia kata, "Bapa saya, dan datuk saya telah mengusahakan semua getah di tanah ini, maka tayar-tayar in adalah kepunyaan saya." Ah Chong pula memanggil kereta tundanya dan mengambil kereta saya. Dia berkata, " Bapa saya dan datuk saya telah mengusahakan semua bijih besi maka rangka kereta ini, badannya, enjinnya dan semua komponen yang dibuat daripada besi, semuannya kepunyaan saya." Ah Chong mengeluarkan sebuah beg berisi beras dan memberikannya kepada saya. Ini adalah kepunyaan kau."

I know it might be a rather lame touch but, we all toiled this land, every race. If you are going to talk about discarding one another, it's stupid. You're dismissing the fact that our country was raised by the hands of all races from the days before we were even called Malaysia. Mostly, the other races actually. Thank the British. Today, the country's earnings thrives on all races too. Eradicate two and you get a very poor land. A poor underdeveloped land.

You sure you want that?

96 hours to bitter days.

Think of me, think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while -
please promise me you'll try.
When you find that, once again, you long
to take your heart back and be free -
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me

Think of me, think of me waking,
silent and resigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard
to put you from my mind.
Recall those days
look back on all those times,
think of the things we'll never do -
there will never be a day,
when I won't think of you . . .

Think of me, Phantom of the Opera.

A confession.

The fastidious typing had stopped, about 5 minutes ago. She had set her phone on the pillow, silent as it was. She constantly flicks her eyesight at the quiet object, hoping in would tingle in delight with a familiar tune, signifying a reply. It doesn't.

She grabs it, and again begins clicking away.
No, it was sent. Then why the delay?

She goes about doing her work, sub-consciously aware, ready and alert to sweep it up them moment it sings. But it doesn't.

The next few minutes are torturous. She flashes angry eyes at the persistently silent object, picks it up then gently throws it on the bed, infusing as much anger as she's able to in that gentle force, so as not to damage it yet express her anxiety.

She marches out of the room with a loud 'HMMPH!'

Then, it comes. That short, sharp, shrill tune. She picks it up, it says:

'Sorry'.

She's softened, melted down to a heap.

Oh, cruel, cruel soul. How dare you reduce yourself to this excuse of a weakling?
She pushes the voice away, pride and dignity laid down, to nurse the abused item and reply with love, accordingly.

I love rendang.

The 2 week break, splitting my trials into half, has not been treating me very well. For one, it has fastened to dreamless sleep for hours, threatening to rob me off precious dates with my books, namely, Pengajian Perniagaan 1 & 2 as well as the dashing debonair, Macro Economy.

Nevertheless, I shall strive, besides Friday.
Only Friday.

Why? You may ask. Oh Friday...

On Friday, I woke up around 7 in the morning. (Cue: Clap and cheer for the lazy bum!) after the usual hygiene requirements, e.g. bathing, brushing teeth, I bade grandmama and mama farewell as I set off with Albert to stream down free roads, uninhabited by nearly half of its population, (you see, they sedang makan pagi at their kampung).

We picked Rishi kutty up and made a beeline for SUNWAY PYRAMID!

How long have I not tread these marbled floors with reasons of pure fun with friends... *sigh.

After ALL had reached, Pavitra began her painstaking duties. Condemning everyone to stop at EVERY earing shop or ANY little stall that had shiny things to hang on your ears. This, of course, happened along the way to brunch as Pavitra's stomach has threatened to blow up into a shuddering 60 million scraps of fats, tissues, blood and more fats if we didn't feed it.

So to Mac Donald's we went, and sat, and ate and talked and fussed about moving on to the next agenda (Oh, that was Kutty's job alone, leaning his big muscular body (Oh, he'll love me for this! ;) ) over the wooden divider looking absolutely cute and sounding absolutely annoying).

Once Pavitra's destructive tummy had settled, we made our way to the bowling alley, where people roll fat, heavy, colorful balls down this slippery, narrow lane to knock down a bunch of things called pins. It's like watching REVENGE OF THE FAT GIRLS AGAINST THOSE SNOOTY, SNOBBISH POPULAR GIRLS. (Note: not a real movie).

Anyhoo, as Shaheena and Pavitra lacked socks, and socks are expensive, Nah! I'm just kidding. Socks are not expensive, we were lazy to buy some. But anyhoo, it was decided, No socks + Lack of Interest to Play Archery = POOL.
No water in this pool, it was balls and sticks. ( I can imagine the owner of the destructive tummy smiling with glee at this). Oh, naughty minds.

Pool was fun, I pocketed two balls. It was cheap too. We played and watched Mr Tan helping Mrs Tan at the pool table. What a pair.

We were joined by Tiru a few moments later, as then BANG!
Kutty and Tiru indulged themselves in talk of muscles. How to make this fatter and bigger. How to make that hard, How to make lines appear. Gosh, men and their ego.

FAT EGO!
So much so, Albert stared at his unlined and undefined muscles then looked at Kutty and said, "They're so nice". (Cue: Roll eyes).

Men.

A little sidetracking.

Guys, you don't need to have muscles all bulging and frankly speaking, disgusting. Yeah, they're nice and pretty, no they're sexy, but it's not important. Make sure you're healthy and able. You know, these body builders get their stuff from steroids and crap, (okay, only some do) and a lot of them suffer from erectile dysfunction. Don't make yourself a model from a magazine with no children in the future. Besides, soft fats are nice to lean on and makes you huggable.

See?

Anyway, back to the story.
After pool, we prepared ourselves to go to RUMAH TERBUKA (Transalation: Open house) I shall further explain this later.

More important stuff. I had a race with Jon to MPH and I have to say, although he beat me by 20 seconds, my navigation still rocks.

Soon after we split, leaving Albert, Tiru and Kutty behind....
*sniffles*

.....for tasty things. For spicy stuff. For yummy reasons. For tummy tangling missions,
I introduce you to Part Two of 'I love rendang'. The part where we talk about rendang.

Part Two

Upon reaching Azlin's house, we greeted her, her mum and other 'mum', SELAMAT HARI RAYA!

Then we feasted with another bunch of donkeys we knew, already present.

I spooned lemang, with rendang and beef curry for starters. Then went for nasi pelangi, ayam masak merah and dhal as my second round, then I realized my grave mistake.

You see, my tummy, is a time bomb. Has always been from young. If I do not feed myself, the consecutive meals should be small, as my tummy sorta shrinks.

Damn. All those cookies.

Sigh.

Anyhoo, after a considerable sum of people had left, a bunch of us sat in a circle talking about exaggerated Tamil films, why you shouldn't make an Indian woman mad, and racism and the beauty of it all was that we were all of different races. I love MALAYSIA.

As the clouds threatened to cry upon seeing such a beautiful sight, so many skin tones
harmoniously laughing, I bade them farewell to return home to a soft bed, to rest my sleepy head.

HAHA, JOKE. I had to help dad fix the cupboard then drive to cell group half asleep (but cell is a fun thing, awesome actually) then only did I greet my bed with a thump.
That's why Friday was not splashed with study. Goodbye folks.

Simply because he said it was worth it.

I love friends who demand the same literary wavelengths I do.


"how did we come up with 1 + 1 = 2?
how did we decide that the sky is blue and high up in the sky ?
how did we know that by plucking strings sounds are created ? =P

how is one of life's greatest mystery.
we have been told such .
which is why we have to live such .
sad fact eh? "


"We learnt 1+1 is 2 when we bought our shoes,
Seeing our feet were two,
When we looked up we decided that there the sky basked,
In a blue suit, cloud patterned,
Gathered around fires and in gatherings,
We realized music came forth out from strummed strings!

Many a thing we do not learn from a book,
But when we begin to taste, feel and look."


"you make sense wise one .
but the day you begin to taste, feel and look at maths biology economics, that's the day you tell me and i will burn your books =P "


"Oh, but my darling,
Would you ever deny,
The very thrilling,
Experience of Biology?"


Gosh, I miss you, Maggi mee nights , drama and all.
