Spam mail





Huh, I thought this spam mail thingy only happens on the internet. Rupa-rupanya kat snail mail pun ada.

Lately, we received several letters from this mailing address. Same content. I (jokingly) asked the good husband whether he ada main russian roulette ke, main poker ke, sampai kena mintak tolong dengan sami siam. He said, "Hishh, mana ada. Fitnah tuh...".

Then he remembered somewhere last year (before he joined present company) ada stayed in one hotel kat Langkawi whilst on company trip. Maybe the hotel provides info or someone got his info and gave it to this malaun mailer.

Have you received similar spam mail like this one in your postbox? *Kalau ada wife yg tak tau hujung pangkal cerita mau melayang pinggan mangkuk satu rumah ek....tee hee hee*

Athough there is no exact count of the number of words, it has been estimated that the vocabulary of English language has roughly about one million words and they are ever expanding. Of course, some of the words are borrowed from other tongues but are widely used in context and frequency as English.

Every year, it is estimated that close to 300 new words are added into the Oxford dictionary.

One million words and 300 new words each year?

And THOSE were like the only freaking words I know my entire life? Is it any wonder why this blog is such a real loser? Totally lame.

Katie Holmes today, gone tomorrow


Mirror mirror on the wall
Who has the ugliest hair of all
ME...*answers feebly*


Its been a while since I last had my hair cut. I've been keeping it long for the longest time. So when I went to the local hair salon in town and decides to have my hair snipped, I opted for a short hairdo. I told the hairdresser that I wanted my hair to look like Katie Holmes.


Hairdresser: Katie tu sapa kak?
KC : Bini Tom Cruise

She looked bewildered.

Hairdresser: Tom Cruise tu sapa yek?

KC: Haa, Tom Cruise pun tak kenal? Dia tu kan pelakon femes kat Hollywood

Hairdresser: Tak kenal la kak

KC: Hmm...takpe lah *dalam hati kata..eleh..kalau mention Datuk Khalid Jiwa tu kau mesti la kenal sape bini dia kan...*.


At this point, I was scratching my not so gatal head. How to tell this girl what I wanted. I looked around the salon and saw some malay tabloid mags not so neatly stacked on the glass shelves. I picked one and flipped thru the pages. Nothing. I began looking at the magazine clippings decorated on the walls. None of the hairstyles match what I wanted. Frustrated, I explained carefully the haircut that I wanted to the girl. She seemed to understand and uttered;


Hairdresser: Ohhh...yang itu ke kak. kalau nak potong macam tu kita panggil bob stail

KC: Ye ke...apa apa je laa dek oii


An hour later, I got my Katie Holmes's hairdo. Woo hoo hoo. But it was a shortlived happyness. When I woke up the next day, it was gone. My Katie Holmes's hair is gone - forever *horrified look*! Yesterday, I looked fabulous. Today, I looked disastrous.


Nobody ever told me I should blow-dry my hair after shampoo especially with bob hairstyle. Sheesh.

Amarahku


Sebaik membaca berita ni kat muka depan suratkhabar, terus menggigil kepala lutut saya. Sebak pun ada. Bayangkan kanak-kanak 10 tahun dilanggar-lari kemudian mayatnya diseret kereta tersebut bukannya 5 meter, bukan juga 50 meter tapi 5 kilometer! Saya tak dapat bayangkan perasaan ibubapa Allahyarham Mohd Hanafis Suhairi tatkala menatap mayat anak mereka. Kepala dan muka hancur berkecai sehingga sukar dikenali. Bayangkan...

Yang membuatkan saya berasa sungguh geram dengan pemandu tersebut ialah dia tak bother langsung nak turun dari kereta selepas melanggar orang. Pada saya, pemandu itu seorang pembunuh! Dia bukannya bertembung kereta dengan kereta tapi penunggang motosikal yang sudah tentu tidak mempunyai apa-apa perisai pun di badan.

Saya nak mencadangkan kepada kerajaan supaya hentikanlah slogan seperti "Pandu Cermat Jiwa Selamat". Sebab bagi saya slogan tu tak berkesan. Eloklah ditukar saja ayat tu kepada "Tahukah Anda Yang Anda Bakal Menjadi Seorang Pembunuh Sekiranya Tidak Memandu Dengan Cermat". Biar ayat Pembunuh tu kasi bold sikit supaya pemandu-pemandu yang reckless dan tak reti bahasa di jalanraya tu register kat kepala hotak diorang. Dan seelok-eloknya pemandu yang dah buat kes macam ini digantungkan terus lesen memandunya. Toksah lah bagi dia bawak kereta lagi. Kalau dia bising kata susah nak pegi kerja suruh dia naik bas atau LRT je.

Untuk berlaku adil, saya juga menyarankan agar kerajaan mengambil tindakan tegas terhadap penunggang-penunggang motosikal yang tidak memakai topi keledar dan yang tidak mengenakan fluorescent safety vest ketika menunggang di waktu malam. Kalau yang bawak anak jadi pembonceng pun patut dipakaikan topi keledar kerana pada pandangan saya sungguh tak patut mak bapak pakai topi keledar tapi anak-anak tak pakai. Apa tak sayang anak ke diorang ni? Pikir keselamatan diri sendiri tapi anak-anak dibiarkan? Kerajaan juga patut kenakan tindakan terhadap ibubapa yang membiarkan anak mereka tak cukup umur tanpa lesen yang sah menunggang motosikal kerana sikap ini boleh mengundang bahaya kepada diri sendiri dan juga orang ramai. Saya cukup pantang tengok budak-budak gini naik motor sebab diorang bawak pun macam merempit.

Al-fatihah buat adik Mohd Hanafis Suhairi.

High School Reunion: 24 years later

Its funny how we can get so busy (or consumed) doing what we do each day that we don't even realize how fast our lives are ticking away. For some, high school was the highlight of their life, and others, like me, it was a period of transition.


As I entered the school gate, my heart was filled with mixed emotion. This was the very same gate that greeted me hello on my first day at this school. I was transferred here by sudden twist of fate. My parents were finalising their divorce and they thought that by sending us to boarding schools, our studies will not be disrupted. My parents decided to send me and my brother there while another brother was sent to another boarding school in town.


I learnt a lesson of lifelong humility in this "kampung" school. The first 3 months of my life there, I was transformed from a total snob to a total modest. From a pretentious city girl to a simple kampung girl. Struggled with family problems at home, they helped me coped with life in the hostel. When I feel lonely, they offered friendship without prejudice. There were times when I was at the bottom pit, they'd pull my two hands to bring me to safety. They coaxed me to come out from the shell and taught me not to feel guilty coming from a broken home. I began to enjoy life as a real teenager then.


Back to the high school reunion, hearing about former principal who passed away and teachers, some who retired after years of service and some who still stayed on made me feel old too. I was a bit disappointed when none of my classmates turned up for the event. However, meeting my juniors and seniors who were also my former dormmates were more than enough to make up for their absence although my memory seemed to fail me when seeing familiar faces but not remembering their names. It was great seeing them again but what really hit me hard was how much some of them had aged and expanded in size...tee hee hee. Well, to be fair, some of them didn't really changed that much. I was surprised to see our ex-warden hadn't changed at all. He looked ever so youthful. The same old jovial Cikgu Syed. You rawk man!


As a side note, I (literally) won the award for having the least kids. I don't really know if I really do have the least but some juniors who were much much younger than me had more than mine. Very productive indeed. *chuckles*


The reunion was a grand affair, filled with nostalgic moments. I honestly wish the best, life has to offer for all those people I met that night. God willing, we'll see each other again next year when the school celebrates its golden jubilee. InsyAllah.


And this time around, I'll make sure to bring the camera along.

Alive and Kicking

*as usual, the image above was stolen from someone's website*



I know some of you might think that I have disappeared from the face of the earth but I'm still here, man. I haven't been busy. I have been crazy lazy.


You wanna know why? Because blogging is no easy feat. Its freaking hard and dirty work. You have to constantly battle it with your brain and your hand, *your fingers may want to tap that keyboard but your brain prevent them from doing so because your brain functionality is currently out of service at the moment*.


Didn't they tell you to blog every friggin' day? Crap.


P/S: Sleepless On The Side is 2 today, y'all.

I have a dream



The new US President-elect, Barack Huessin Obama II embodies Martin Luther King Jr's famous quote to the historic speech he made on August 28, 1963. He certainly made Martin Luther King Jr's dream possible 45 years later!

Congratulations to Mr President Barack Obama.
