Boo!

Has anyone ever send you a supposedly funny video but turns out bloody scary in the end? The one that makes you go jumpy or even fell off from the chair? You know the one with the demon face that suddenly popped in your screen accompanied by that creepy sound in the background? Huh, dah banyak kali terkena okey sampai nak terputus urat jantung!

Which is why I am a bit wary when someone posted or tagged me a video of something like this. If I do want to watch it especially when the video title sounds a bit fishy, I'd cover my face with my 2 hands and peek between my fingers. That way, I wouldn't be so terkejut beruk if the ending is what I anticipate. Clever huh?

Sometimes, the scariest movie/or video doesn't even need a ghastly looking figure to scare us. All it needs is a little imagination or the "real thing" being invisible to our eyes. Just the sound or sight of a chair moving or a door closed by itself can actually send the shivers down the spine. 

  

Don't believe it? Just watch this movie trailer Paranormal Activity 2 and be spooked!

Raya menjenguk lagi..

macam biasa gambar dicilok dari google..

Okeylah puan-puan semua, kejap lagi saya nak ke kedai mencari bahan-bahan untuk membuat rendang. Tengah serabut otak ni pikir nak buat rendang ayam ke rendang daging atau ikutkan kepala aku yg senang ni tak yahlah buat langsung. Hehe!

Pening mak oii adoyai.

Don't judge a book by its cover

Literally. Pun intended.

Kak Ngah has received textbooks for Year 4 yesterday and I was appalled with the conditions of the textbooks. Really horror you! But who am I to complain coz they're on loan from the government anyways. Terima ajelah and Kak Ngah didn't seem to bother much about it. 

So, my next to-do list will be buying new plastic covers, masking tape, cellotape and what not and start to restore those damaged textbooks maybe one or two days before the school re-opens. Eh, why wait that long to do it you may ask. Well, I am one of those rare people who likes to procrastinate. Okey tak reason ni? 

There's something really fascinating about doing things in the last minute. Must be the adrenaline rush. Ha ha!

Two weeks more...

...and then the school holidays start! For some working parents, its a total relief from the chaos they brace every morning to send their kids to school in a crowded traffic before rushing off to work themselves but for some stay-at-home parents like moi for example, its a different scenario altogether. I dread the school hols!

Don't get me wrong folks. I totally adore my kids wholeheartedly and love them being around me but 24 hours a day, ok minus 10 hours of sleep (they usually slept that long during holidays) which means 14 hours of whole day with them for one and a half months? That requires some kind of super-energetic, noise-tolerant mom to supervise 3 active kids from various ages in a household. Phew!

Before I dwell on that subject in the next postings (if I ever had the chance to use the laptop come 22nd nov), let me begin by telling you how Kak Ngah has cleverly manoeuvred her way to persuade her ayah to buy three sets of board games for her to bring to school. Her simple request was accepted by ayah after she laid out 3 reasons;

1. 3rd semester exams are over both mainstream school and KAFA (religious school)
2. Played all online games there is in the school computer lab and practically read all the books in the school library (boleh caya ke reason ni?)
3. bored stiff doing nothing at school

Well, that's good enough reason to comply with her request. We don't want her to ponteng sekolah even if there's nothing to do at school especially after 3rd semester exams are over and textbooks are promptly returned. Even the teachers are not always visible in the classrooms. The students are practically left to their own devices and its up to them to find their own entertainment. I'm glad she asked for some board games (which is very affordable) than some latest of the art PSP or flimsy electronics game. Phew, selamat duit ayah!

As for Kak Long who's in her tween years, she'd rather bring some story books from home or get involved in school activities with her buddies. Such low maintenance kid she is.

from clockwise -  chess, dam haji (checkers) and dam ular (snakes and ladders) games...total amount less than RM50! Kak Ngah bawak the games on alternate days to school and she cheered many her classmates. cayalah!
