makan time is always and will always the best time .... so much to eat and you just can't make up your mind at times .... the eyes sees everything and the stomach just wants to taste everything on the table...
yesterday was no different at all... food was laid out on the table and everything tasted so good ...... we had .. cake , chicken ,salad and the list just goes on and on ... yummy crummy .....what delicious food it was .....
i should not worry too much about what i eat .. in fact it never bothered me very much .. it's just that i am a food lover and i enjoy what's on the table ...just eat moderately and i will be OK .....
well, easier said than done ...... of course at times i do wonder if i am putting on the kilos and .. well it's part of life .. we live in a country which produces good food .. why waste right ? and as for those models out there , honey , you'd better watch what you eat ... it's really bad for business if you can't fit into a Vera Wang !!!!!!!
and for us carry nanas girls , mind you, we are heavy duty girls with an attitude that's to die for .. enjoy while we all can and have a great new year ..

hop to where it is
well since it's the year of the rabbit , i , for one just cannot wait to read about my horoscope in the newspaper .. why ? i have no idea .. i will wait so patiently till i see my zodiac that is the rat .... and then I'd read read and read .... do i believe in it ?
no, that would be a big no .. then why do i bother reading them ? i just don't know maybe it's just for fun .... well some other than the next person would tell me that i should not be reading all those stuff as i believe in god .... true but you see living in a multi racial country , you read any damn thing ......
so, this year the only thing that i am going to do is stay happy even when others try to get me down ... frankly speaking who cares right ! well, it will be another good year and with more amazing things to come .. and so i say happy new year to everyone and bring in the chocolates since valentine's day is just around the corner .....

lights , camera and so the action
my boss comes to me and says that TV3 intends to do a shooting in our school and we have to not only do a gazillion things , we also have to choose our students who we think will make the cut .... and there i was just living livid and so feeling like J Lo , we got down to business ..... after choosing our so called superstars , we also had to make sure everything was in tip top condition ...
then the TV3 guy met up with us and told us not to worry , 'my prop guys will do everything , you ladies just sit back and stand by .. when we need you , i will have my people call you to get ready '.. fine three bags full ....
on the actual day .. with all the semangat in me , .. i went went early to work today to make sure that everything and everyone including all the little crickets which were burrowing in each and every hole , were OK...
waited ,
waited , waited,
waited ,
waited ,
i think i waited for about 20 waiteds ( this is a new word ) , finally the kids arrived , my teachers and then ,the mother of 20 crew members!!!! they need 20 crew members for just a simple shot ? we had the data guys , we had the directors , we had the prop men .. we had the oranges ladies who kept on munching on the oranges , you name it ...
everything looked so busy even the tables and chairs in my class looked busy ... oh dear !!!..one of my teacher was on stand by ... the moment the director said action , there was no holding her back .. she did a fine job .. then it was tmk's turn ...not bad alright ... my teachers are superstars in the making ...... then it was time for another scene and another teacher was called upon .... everything went on fine .... you 'll, see we will be getting contracts for the big silver screen .. soon ...
then it was my turn , i was cool ... since i had some experience in the Nativity Play in church , that, prepared me to take on the universe .... it was my turn the bathroom scene .. my job was to mandikan the kids ... everything went on fine only one take ..... okay, i lied 3 takes ..... had to shower the kids again ... made them smile and you know la how a superstar works ... i don't have to tell you ......
next scene ... potong sayur ..... potong pun potong la ... sayur sawi .... it was hilarious .. the knife was so blunt so i decided to cut the sawi instead .... with that ... it was a wrap and at the end of the day , only our hands were the stars .. but then again it's still our hands .... just wait ... you'll see .... the next Oscar is so gonna be mine ....

a thing was said
i guess after today i feel well , and a dear friend of mine told me today that her dog died peacefully in her sleep on Friday ... so sad ... dogs are very smart . i remember having a dog as a pet when i was a little girl ... the first we had was folly and Polly ... they were given to us by my dad's friend who breeds them .
we gave Polly away because she bit my sister .. it was quite close to the eye .. with folly , we never had any complaints from our neighbours ... he was a good and obedient pet .... he was a good guard dog and he somehow knew that we loved him to bits .. nice dog ... sadly enough .. one day folly did not come home . we found out the he had been hit by a drunk driver ... our world crashed .. we cried for days ... and days ... that was it no more dogs for the family ...
until one sunny day .. dad took us to the SPCA .... there , we found Benji ..he was huge alright .... he was toilet trained and he could eat half of the food that was laid on the dinner table !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we gave him back ... we could not handle him .................. OK with Benji being sent away now what ?
no dogs ,
no dogs,
no dogs ,
all was quiet ,
following year ,
no dogs ,
no dogs .............................. until.............
we moved to Brunei .....then we had gypsy .... cute gypsy .. smart , alert , she learned how to hunt for mice .. all thanks a stray cat who became firm friends with gypsy and who also shared the same basket with gypsy .. they slept and ate together !!!!!!
then it was time for us to go back to KL ... once again , with a heavy heart we left gypsy with a friend .............. this time i cried for days ..... hurt and angry i promised myself that no matter what , i don't want any more dogs ...
and now at 39 , i think I'd go for a beagle , or maybe a golden retriever ... Dalmatian .... who knows ...

my challenges
i am unwell .. sick , and i hate it but the best part is i get to recover during the weekend ... yesterday ... now this is not about me being sick at all . this was the conversation that i had with my dad .. good old dad.....
we were on our way to the clinic and suddenly , he turns around and tells me that after all these years , he has treated me differently from my sister ...
i was not surprised . to those of you out there who knows me will understand and i hope that to those of you who are close to me , please try to understand it too...
i asked my dad why and he told me that the challenges that i faced were so different from what my sister faced and yes each and everyone of us faced different challenges in life ... true to my word , true to what he said ... i still did not follow .. he said that i never took any short cuts in life and whatever mess that i got myself into , i'd find a way out and for that my parents were surprised ....
as to why i still did not follow as to what my dad was saying , he told me that since i was born with scars on half of my face , he and my mum got worried as to .. would i be excepted in society ? would i blend in ? would i have friends ?
over the years , as i grew into an adult .. i have come a long way ..i have accepted challenges in many forms and i accepted them because i knew that i could face them .. along the way it has dawn in my mind that, what if i could not do it ? i got scared too but my parents pushed on and on gently and positively ...
it was hard at first because there were just too many things going on in my mind but somehow i managed along the way .. i overcame whatever was in way ..to tell you the truth , as i look back in life , i just don't know how i got this far .
i am still plodding along but it's not as hard as when i first started out .. there are still many more stuff that i'd like to do and achieve ... plodding along and with more baby steps i'll get there, but it my own time .

break
well i am really looking forward to this so called one day break .. it means a lot to me and a hopeful of hundreds around the country ... since tomorrow will be a public holiday , i might as well sleep in till the cows come home .... easier said than done ..
my day starts as early as 5.30 am even on holidays , i guess i am so used to it that before my alarm could go off , i am already awake .. maybe I'd tire myself so that i can sleep well ...
today i am just going to relax and rest .. maybe watch some movies , comedies anything and i am not going to do any heavy thinking just relax and chill ....

cake and roses
i was not suppose to bake a cake or rather my mum was not suppose to bake one today but since i was so eager to practice my roses technique , she thought , why not ... in fact i did practice my roses yesterday but due to some technical fault and i can't say it was a technical fault , it was my fault.... for adding too much sugar syrup that my icing was too runny .. i got so upset .. and i did not want to do it again .......... ever .... my confidence hit rock bottom ....
and then .. i woke up at 3 am and decided that i will try making my icing again and this time I'd go easy on the sugar syrup ....6 am i was already up bear in mind i also have to get ready for church....
measured the amount i wanted and started ... kept the sugar syrup aside and went to church ... the minute i got back , everything was in full swing ....once icing was done , i set to work... my roses became squarish .. i did not give up . since i have a lot of wafer cone ... why not, give another go ..
after trying for like a 100 times i finally could see my roses taking shape .. not a pro yet but i managed to make simple rose buds and i was happy ... however i still need to practice ...
then mum , told me that she will bake a cake and wants me to ice it ..... it's done , it looks great and i still need to practice with the right tools ... but i am not worried as CNY is around the corner and i will be on leave , i will take the opportunity to make more cakes , cup cakes and eat them by myself ...
