breast cancer education

yesterday we organised the first pc of a pr exercise for this NGO i menyemak with. i know wednesday mornings ada dewan rakyat sitting so a PC would be a big no no but since the 'client' insisted that the press would be mature enough to decide after having heard my justifications, guwe jalan je laa. for the first time in my short pc organising days, i had full turn up from the chinese press. thanks for the love, man! bernama ada, two chinese headed english titles and 3 tamil titles.

as suspected, malay headed newspapers went berlari to cover the dewan rakyat sitting + sent no rep to ours. this morning to my embarrassment they reported female divorcees are gatal, quoted from dewan rakyat sitting, on front page laks tuh.

yet they wonder laa pulak, how come deaths from breast cancer are higher amongst the malays, then indian and last chinese when breast cancer incidents are higher amongst the chinese, followed by the indians and last malays.

honey, i'm home


it was a blast ... bandung is so stylo ... and i love the fact that at every corner you see people playing either the guitar or chess ... i've listened to good musicians in my short stay ... and watched them bandungites play chess; they really strategise and put a lot of thoughts in their game ... i was impressed ... best gila!!!

in the past, i've heard peeps describing the indonesians as one emotional lot; they act ikoot perasaan and only think after ... i noted that same traits in their folklore ... ikoot perasaan sungguh + agak ganas ... what does our folklore tell peeps about us?

oh! ... and dalam my kejakunan + excitement observing the marriage of contemporary architecture with indonesian intricate workmanship in kampung daun, i jalan stright masuk longkang ... oops!!! ... thanks for laughing your heads off at me, mereka yang nampak ...

hugs to all blogger mates!!! really miss you guys ... :o)



p.s. dzu ... i left your number on air asia's sickbag ... i have a picture as proof. do wait by the phone, your prince charming might just ring. :op

WAS I THE STUDIOUS NERD OR THE LAST MINUTE HERO?

had a taste of both world, but not so hero ok! ok-ok only

WAS I THE TAIKO OR TEACHER’S PET?

was a teacher’s pet during primary school, a levels + at university but was never one in my secondary school, nak buat cemana terpaling bodo amongst terpaling pandai + the teachers oso tot i was a taiko, when i’m actually sweet + baik + innocent, just that i pick and select rules that i think i should follow.
ala ala 9 naga ... "manusia terbaik di Indonesia adalah seorang penjahat" ... fauzi baadila i lobe yeww!!!

BEST 2 SUBJECTS

english + malay … them two confirm As … yang lain kene put extra2 effort, itu pun tak sure leh score or not :op

3 TEACHERS THAT I REMEMBER MOST (FOR VARIOUS REASONS)

my guru angkat in primary school – she noted that i was bored with school syllabus + fed me with loads of workbook activities + let me hangkut buku bebanyak from the library balik rumah … yup! am a geek since like forever

a science subject teacher in secondary school – when i was picking up my spm results with my parents walking behind me, this teacher went up to us giggling + went “hihihihihi … maryam, awak pass ke pun subject saya? … hihihihihi” how rude? ok, she used to pick on me like that but in the presence of my parents? i replied, “dapat A1, cikgu” you should see how her face turned black

my accounting teacher during a levels – after being mentally tortured in secondary school, she made me realised that i ekceli smart oso, hehe! she used to bowl with us during weekends, but i'm crap at bowling, i went to just clown jest. we went karaoke together gether in china town. went for movies together gether. we hung out at hers during christmas + easter. she's so kind! rindu laa pulak...

WHO DO I TAG?

SuperDzu - i know she's a geek, but how much a geek is she?!
Cik Pijoh - another geek
Agus - geekier than Cik Pijoh
Cik PMS - geeky?!
Ti.e.na - before i kick your (perasan) phat behind, i wish to know you better
Widie - nak ajak go down memory lane together gether
Bertique - sila2
Ifzan - since tak de idea what to put on his blog as update

post gubra

the lamps are different, but the light is the same;
it comes from beyond.
if you keep looking at the lamp,
thou art lost.
for thence arises number and plurality.
fix your gaze upon the light.

- jalaluddin rumi -

it's your birthday

29

weekend activities:

+ carried out serious market intelligence a.k.a. window shopping
+ tiramisu-ed cik pijoh's birthday
+ worry over the geeky gift choice
+ realised how brain lazy i've become + worry over my failing concentration when it comes to non-work details
+ succeeded in geli2 with cik pijoh in the cinema but failed to make her shout, she only went, "haha! haha! HAHA! HAHA! geli, geli"
+ intrigued by agus's non-defensive response when i jampi serapah at some gubra scenes
+ finally saw gubra + understood the attempt to communicate
+ ate the best potato salad (ly-d, nak lagi!) + chocolate cake (puji my cousin, chiop!) + sandwich (froggie, you the man!)
+ pasang telinga on "the hubbies" punya discussion on current market scenario @ lynor's yummilicious
+ got panicky with hefle over something we never cared too much before
+ imitated zana + joined her spraying widie
+ admired arina's impressive concentration span + determination, was impressed with the fact that she recognised which keys are padlock keys
+ kejar + kicked man 3 times in the butt for being notty

sekian, terima kasih

p.s. wegra still belum charge her camera, kindly derma the gambars from the weekend. merci beaucoup, mes tres jolie amies! je t'aime!

break the night with colour

got bored + felt like throwing up after a movie marathon of 15 DVDs, books at home failed to excite me and so i made my way to borders. i get to catch up with mummy-O and baby arina at dinner as well.

got 2 books; one is the title i've been looking for since last year - 'sightseeing' and another i bought out of curiosity - 'the end of faith: religion, terror and the future of reasons'. ske the latter, it echoed my theory on a person's belief system! auuwww!!! ok lah ... perasan lebih but what to do, we think alike ... but the religion bit i'm not too sure ... is it really system problem or is it user problem?

i'll save 'sightseeing' for bandung ...

ok ... i've done updates albeit a dry one ... stop komplenin!

:op

p.s. jom go "gubra" together gether, y'all
p.s.s. i got my bandung dates wrong ... penat je excited sorang2, no wonder the rest chilling masih ... goh!

remember him?

remember this kid? yup. i made him cry by bullying him into calling me "kakak". he got frightened by my enthusiasm, i presume laa.

anyways, his name is adeeb. adeeb is a male name, isn't it?! he's 7 months old and he's my cousin's eldest.

my mom sees him more often that i do. apparently, only last weekend did she realise that adeeb is a boy.
kemon laa mama ... shy only ...
