Last weekend..

We're two weeks into Ramadhan. Have been indulging into fabulous food from the many hawkers stalls in town. But generally the price has doubled since last year. Not easy to get anything for RM1 which was the case the previous years. Now mostly starts with RM2. After two weeks I have my favourites marked; popiah goreng sambal (Asia city), Nasi Dagang (Asia City), Cendol (Tg. Aru), Puteri Mandi (Tg. Aru), Laksa Sarawak (Deasoka), Mee Hoon Goreng ( Tg. Aru), Soto Banjar (Tg. Aru), and the rest will be decided depending on my craving of the day. Last weekend I made bubur labu dengan jagung plus some other stuff. I love pumpkin, versatile food item. I especially miss my late Grandmas's Steamed Pumpkin cake.

Saturday we decided to check out Segama to look for my son's baju melayu. As predicted the place was conjested with human being. I noticed even the pedestrian bridge was alive with traders, saying this because it has been years since I see this kind of scene up there. I remember when I was little, Grandma used to use this way to go across from Segama to the wet market and I would enjoy the people selling everything under the sun along the bridge-walkway. From toys, shoes, vegetables, etc..
Benjy benjy benjy...his agitated whiny voice was heard throughout Segama...we just ignored all the curious glances from passerby...it was just not his scene...there was just so many people and he got squashed in between bodies with all kinds of BO and of course nothing of his fancy is around. Thankfully he agreed to cooperate to try on this baju.


This pic is a bit belated. We went to check out what was left of Servay Penampang Hypermarket. I was shocked to see it was melted to te ground. The day after it happened, the video was already up in YouTube, I saw many spectators crowded the nearby shops's to watch it burn. It baffled me that these people wasn't thinking about their immediate safety first! I mean the distance between the shops and the burning site was just 1 road lane away, too close for comfort. Luckily there was no major explosion of bursting glass windows.

Chronic Break a.k.a Cancer Stick. This was taken at the side entrance to Centre Point..it says a thousand words..nuf said. I'm proud to say that I'm no longer a contributor of spreading cancer. I'm not proud to say that I've done that, and I blame it on peer pressure (after much analysis). It's also a want to be accepted and supposedly it makes you look matured and sophisticated. I'm lucky that I was not terminally addicted. As I said purely to socialize. Now I can't stand the smell of it and the thought of I used to smell like that..ergh.


Thanks to my babies, I'm leading a clean life now. Kempen Anti-Merokok..heheh (nothing to do wit my main topic but i don't care ;p)

Eyes wide shut

I'm never gonna get enough zzzzz's..been away on leave for 3 days to take care of baby Ariff..he got Bronchialitis apparently contracted from the nursery coz i found out most of the babies there were sick too..sigh..that's the cons of sending your kids to the nursery..and i understand why the poor babies eventhough sick were still sent to the day care..when i was working in the hotel, it was not easy to take leave and being in the private sector means u have tons n tons of workload and deadline, plus your boss for sure will not be so understanding..so i guess the parents didn't have much choice but to depend on the day care to take care of their child..so 3 days i spent quality time with my baby..during then he learned to stand and let of his hands, crawl, play tag, reach the armchair and everywere else and many other wonderful things...growing stuff that I will definetely have missed out on..I counted out of 24 hours, I only spend 5 waking hours with my children, count from 6.30am - 7.30am plus 6pm - 9pm..heartwrenching to think of this..after work and feeling so tired, putting up with 2 boisterous toddlers is a real challenge of keeping your patience and sanity..and their selective hearing when you say NO is so so trying on ur BP..it's quite normal for the neighbours to hear my "falsetto" and "chorus"..usual song would be "Benjy Nabil NO!" followed by some smacks on the buttcheeks..and within 5 hours of spending time together like that, I would normally feel remorse at the end of the night when I put them to sleep and they would say I love you Mummy..

Lain cerita, don't know wassup with me and security guards this week but I encountered one funny fler again in another bank, he was actually leaning at the counter with his eyes shut! I had to ask him someting so woke him up, answered me in a daze, then went away to stand in the middle of the room. I went pass him again and i saw him sleeping while standing still!!! Kesian pun ada, mau ketawa pun ada. He's mastered the skill of stealing nap time while standing up! LOL! OK that and I noticed he was wearing high heeled shoes..gawd, how much he is suffering standing all day in that..whylah put so much torture on ur feet brader? Maybe he has a taller wife and don't want to tenggelam berdiri di sebelah bininya kan?

Kicik kicik lembu jaga..

My fren do you feel safe looking at this fler? He was walking in circles in a daydream! In my active imagination I'd surprise him from the back and snatch away his rifle and I can rob the bank oredy..tempting tempting..
