Missing Mikael Terribly?
2008-03-27 03:24:00
When I sent him to his babysitter this morning, Miki was wide awake and grinning his toothless grin at me. Now I cannot erase the images in my mind. Not even for a while… On a lighter note, Miki has amazingly drank up all the ebm supplies that leave for him by the big fat ...

I reread my New Year resolution for 2007 and I was literally shaking my head with astonishment. I seemed to have been so young, so hopelessly ambitious, so bold and dreamy to be resolving things like washing my face before I go to bed, drinking more water and buying less earrings? I wonder if I ...

Ketupat Palas Galore
2007-10-20 06:38:00
People say kids enjoy Eid or Hari Raya Aidilfitri more than adults, but I’d say nope! that doesn’t apply to me ! I look forward to Hari Raya more anxiously every other year, and honestly deep down in my heart I feel more joy in giving Duit Raya rather than receiving. I must be getting old wiser! We spent Hari Raya eve at Azman’s parents home in Kedah before we head back to my mother’s in Penang that raya night. Azman managed to help his mother wrapped up some Ketupat Daun Palas and I the Ferocious Eating Monster Ketupat Eating Expert got to watch and learn for the very first time in my whole life. Of course, it is so cool that I just have to post it in this website. Who knows maybe there are more Ketupat Eating Experts out there that can learn a thing or two about making this delicious Malay Hari Raya delicacy. Yum! 1) These are young Palas Leaves, from a type of palm tree. 2) Take one, cut the edges at the end and spread it out. 3) One end is folded like this 4) And ...

Halloween on Aidilfitri, My Baju Raya Disaster
2007-10-10 15:00:00
Do you know how it feels? Can you feel the agony.. the frustration.. the urge to strangle a tailor with her own measuring tape that is nestling inside my aching heart? Oh dear.. All I wanted for Hari Raya is to have a nice decent dress, a longer version of this… And yet the cruel stubborn old witch tailor named Sally made me a longer version of this… My dream dress turned out to be a cross of Master Yoda’s robe and my mother’s sliding door drapes. It is so gross! The sleeves are so huge I could hide ten rabbits inside them. I don’t know what gave her the idea. I am pregnant in my tummy, lady! Why did you have to make the dress so huge around the sleeves and chest area too? I am having a human baby for goodness sake, I did not mate with a blue whale, okay! And where the hell did you get that design pattern? Its hideous!!! Oh what did I do? Can somebody tell me what have I done to deserve this fashion curse from hell? Is it all the laundry that I make my husband do since t...

I know now that I am home

Boy oh boy don’t I miss this website a lot? I have been away on a working trip and I just arrived home on Friday evening. It has been a long and exciting tiring eight days of pure work! work! work! Any nausea and blood vomiting that has occurred last week among this website’s visitors is much regretted. I understand it happened because you guys were too sick and tired of viewing that purple pitted fruit and that disgusting leech sucking a meal outta Azman’s little toe again and again. Please forgive the absence of my crappy rambling, I didn’t have a choice. I was one of those unlucky thousand chosen by the government to be sent away from our beloved families. It was hard. For me it was just eight days, for some of my friends it was up to three weeks. We were separated from our home sweet home and were ordered to stay at the hotels with beautiful swimming pools by the sandy beach. Oh it was nightmare!! If I knew it was that torturing to devour taxpayers’ money, I would have...

Extinction of Endangered Species
2007-08-07 11:23:00
At last……the decision has been made!! My fellow DY designer in Sony Corp Japan, Murata-san, has been transferred to LCD TV panel engineering department. It’s a huge blow for him…because his whole life has been dedicated to the development of CRT TV. He has a couple of US pattern registration under his name that makes him untouchable to most of DY designers. Thats how good he is…it will never change the final fate of CRT TV !!…. Then, how about me? Am I going to be the last survival in the history of Sony Trinitron DY designer? Yeah..it should be like that. I don’t know if I should be happy or sad about that. I have been sitting at my desk with nothing to do for almost 6 months now. The only thing that I managed to do is surfing the internet and off course..blogging! …I have no problem with that though.. But since I changed from an active worker to a sluggish one, my weight has increased tremendously to 70kg…I realized that I have to take action as soon as poss...

In pursuit of Kundang
2007-07-29 17:31:00
It was a typical busy day at the office when my colleague Yani offered me something to munch. And it’s not just an ordinary something but something I’ve never tasted before. She gave me the nastiest brain piercing, tongue numbing, gum tingling, tummy rumbling sour tasting fruit I have ever tasted in my whole life. It’s actually the young unripe Kundang fruit Bouea oppositifolia (Roxb.) Adelb. that was cut into small pieces and dip into salt before you pop into your mouth. One bite and it is sure to make your face squirm with its extreme sourness. I love it! So when Azman’s parents call to say their orchards in Kedah and Perak are laden with tropical fruits that are pretty costly at the Klang Valley, my heart jumped with joy! Despite having morning sickness and motion sickness everytime I ride in the car, I told Azman that hey we just have to go back and check out the orchards. Seriously I was not looking forward to those juicy rambutans, sweet durians, tasty dokong, langsat...

Vietnam..the land of honk! honk!!

Last week I had a meeting at Ho Chi Minh City, Viet nam . This is my 3rd visits to Vietnam. My last visit was about a week before my marriage. This time, I took Malaysia Airlines because I’ve bad memory with Vietnam Airlines during my first travel to Vietnam. I arrived Tan Son Nhut Airport in Ho Chi Minh City about 4.30pm. The driver was already there waiting to pick me up and drive me to the hotel. His name is Mr. Minh and they pronounce it “Men”. He then drove me to hotel at Ho Chi Minh City center, Rex Hotel. It’s a nice and beautiful 4 stars hotel. The hotel was located in front of People’s Committee Hall near Saigon riverside and about 7km from the airport. However, it took almost 40 minutes by car because of too many motorcycles crawling about the streets!! The best thing about this hotel, they offered free WIFI in every room!! That’s really great because I can get connected with my Diyana for Free every night! There is not much change about HCM City since my last ...

Say no more, Malaysia has been humiliated in the Asia Cup (Again..and again
2007-07-11 08:51:00
As expected, Malay sia have lost to China in Asia Cup Group stage. However, to be humiliated 1-5 in Malaysia home soil is a total disgrace. To make it even worse, Malaysian players seem to enjoy the result and didn’t feel any embarrassment whatsoever. Just after the match, they were clapping their hands and chatting to each others just like nothing had happen. After the match while reading the list of Malaysian players, my friend, Cok Man realized that something is wrong with Malaysia player selection. First team players featuring ; 3 players from Selangor , 3 players from Pahang , and 1 player each from NS Naza, Perak, Perlis, TMM & MyTeam. The weird thing about the player selection is there were no player from the current Malaysian top club, Kedah. Kedah is currently sharing top spot with Perak in Malaysia Super League and recently, they have beaten Perlis in FA Cup Final to be crowned as FA Cup Champion!!. Even Perak & Perlis only have 1 representative in Malaysia squad....
