Yesterdays' phone conversation is making me paranoid! Read on...

Me: Hello, pejabat XXXXXXX ka ni?

Clerk: Ya, encik... Boleh saya bantu?

Me: Boleh tolong check tak package dari Sarawak?

Clerk: Errrr... Tunggu sat, tunggu sat...

Waiting.

Waiting.

Getting tired of waiting.

Still waiting.

Tired of waiting and about to hang up.

Still waiting because I know I'm a very patient person and I just reloaded my phone.

Other Clerk: Halo encik?

Me: Boleh tolong check package dari Sarawak, nombor XX XXX XXX XXX XX?

Other Clerk: Oh... Kita ada terima, tapi dia ada di Aloq Setaq, dalam pukul 5 sampai la kot.

Me: Takpa, takpa, nanti saya call balik, terima kasih.

Waiting again.

Darn, they still make me wait???

Still waiting.

Clerk: Hello?

Clerk: Errr... Kita ada terima satu bungkusan dari Sarawak, tapi sepatutnya ada dua... Satu

Me: Habis macamana?

Clerk: Dalam bungkusan tu ada apa?

Me: Ada pokok...

Clerk: (feigning worry) Ye ke? abis tu sekarang macamana?

Me: (In my head- Right, as if you can do anything now... Like swimming to fetch my package, or full refund, or treat me for a very expensive dinner!) Bila boleh sampai ni?

Clerk: Esok pagi-pagi... Mungkin lewat sikit... Tengahari kot...

Me: Ok. Terima Kasih (Imagines hanging up as brutal as possible that it could be call phone abuse tho I'm using my mobile)

Moral of the story, there's no moral in this one...

Colors of Caladium and Alocasia and Colocasia...

Colourful eh?

"Bee Hoon" (Vermicelli) Flower

Anybody can ID this for me? I bought this a few months back at a nursery in Langkawi.

The lady who owns the nursey says that she never seen anything like it and she only got one of them, after a few time coming and going and "persuading" her to sell and then "persuading" her to lower the price... It was mine for RM15, cheap right?

This plant has been flowering non-stop!

Taken with a "new" camera, courtesy of Ms. Halina...

As my old camera died on me, assuming the hardware is the body and the software- the soul, the camera died for a second time... Mluats! I'm so not buying the model again (as if I bought the camera in the first place... But that's a different story. kah kah kah)!

I'm Out of My Mind!

Have you ever felt like this... When you drove for hour just to go to the beach and the moment you park your car at the car park, you changed your mind and then you realised, you dont want to go to the beach, you want to go to a waterfall instead.

Or like when you ordered something, a plate of spicy seafood pasta and the moment the waiter walks toward your table with your order, you realised... you would prefer something else, chicken teriyaki perhaps...

Or like when you longed for a very long time to go back to your parents, you begged for your leave at work and then when the day comes for you to leave, you changed your mind and stayed home for a week doing nothing instead...

The mind has a mind of it's own, I think it's more powerful than the person who owns it. Like the other day when I woke up early just to start jogging, my mind said to me "Listen be-yotch... If you do, you die!"

p/s: the pix was something that I did almost 10 years ago during my study... I imagined that I'd look something like that one day... Yeah, right!

size doesnt matter anymore

I know... The reason I disappeared for a few days is that... I'm busy mending my life... I'm in love... And I learnt a lesson, that something so small, can mean the world to me...

I'm a freak

For 54,55 % you are:

You are pretty evil, I have to hand it to you. However, maybe you should tone it down a little and get more on the freakish side. You tend to be somewhat sarcastic if not apathetic, take it down a notch. 22.82 % of 2463 Quiz participants had this profile!

You could also get this result:For 0,00 % you are: Wow, you are a complete and total DICK HEAD! However, you are also abnormally normal so we can't get you there. Just wait, you'll get yours when the chocolate chip factories take off...

Or even this one:For 54,55 % you are: You sir, are most certainly a certifiable bonfire EVIL-FREAK! -confetti- WOO HOO! You are kinda like me...hey wait...Don't be stealing any of my plans.. GET OUT OF MY MIND! AHH!

Or even this one:For 27,27 % you are: You...you are a freak...maybe too much of a freak for public appearance, which is why you may very well be using your nose to click around in your little padded room. You seem to be somewhat infatuated with kitties...you need many, many, many...MANY loooong years of therapy my friend.

Hmmm... Interesting Reading

SUICIDE MANUAL FOR THE PERFECTIONIST

First attempts at suicide are often dismal failures.

Usually the result ofpoor planning and/orlack of conviction, and likely to discourage even the most stout-hearted.

Those who sustain defeat in this area rarely recover the self-confidence to try again.

Therefore, to insure a reliable measure of successit is suggested that, first, you exhaust all possible alternatives. Then, if still convinced that it is pointless to go on, proceed as follows:

Put house in order and pay all bills. Nothing engenders guilt in survivors so well as this last act of altruism. You would do well in fact to provide a week's supply of food for your bereaved.

Frozen dinners and instant breakfasts are excellent in emergencies of this kind.

Next, destroy all love letters, rejection slips, and bad poems. Obviously. Hide all unpublished material where, in due time, it should be easily discovered.

You will be aiding not only the cause of your posterity, but that of aspiring Ph.D.’s looking to discover some relatively obscure poet of the last century.

Now, take a shower.

Deodorant though not essential is nice as a final touch.

Lock all doors, deaden doorbells and unhook phone. Interruptions at this time are highly inadvisable.

If inclined to notes write one. Remember, however, that suicide notes do not lend themselves to future revisions, and the chances for error are great. The hackneyed and trite are common pitfalls.

A final word about methods.

If going by pills, be sure to leave empty bottle at bedside to establish cause of death. Post mortems are messy and undignified.

If going by gas leave fire warnings for cigarette smokers.

Other methods such as jumping into tracks or off buildings are not dealt with here as they are usually the result of impulse and emotionalism, and therefore not likely to appeal to readers of this manual.

Moreover, such meansare not only sloppy and melodramatic, but generally in total disregard of the public interest.

You are now ready to go; be assured that you will have no regrets.

Right....

The weird things that I did yesterday...

1. Woke up to find a pair of birdie making a heck of a noise at my balcony... House-hold quarrel me thinks, the female (assuming they're a pair in a conventional sense) or the "female" (assuming the birds are living an "alternative lifestyle") was nagging full blast and non-stop while the male birdie sits at one corner with his head down... A friend of mine once said... When a female member of the species talks without a period ".", that means she's on a period. ladies, your comment(s) will help.

2. Went to work early.

3. Arrived at the office way too early.

4. Twinning program with Sarawak, REDfm for approximately 30 minutes, all I did was nod my head, saying "yes", "That's interesting", "I See", "ooh, ahh", "mmmm hmmm"...

5. Cut my hair... 3 years of waiting, tons of conditioner and 3 years (I've mentioned that already but what the heck???) now I look like Nelly Furtado (with a little bit imagination and plastic surgery, not to mention boob job, nose job, gene therapy and sex op) Half of the length... GONE!!!

6. Did a double DJ thingy with Sharul Bahat! K.A.L.A.U. super special edition, Halina was at the station, Kak Lynn, Nurul and Usop, Khairul and Zaki... were there. I think almost everybody else from the office were listening, somewhere out there...

7. Came home to find... A Big Fat Cicak that defies the law of physics... How could something as stout and round and fat sticks to the ceiling???

I'm back!

Wah Lao...

It has been 5 months and 15 days since my last posting... I know, but I've been so very extremely busy, maybe not so, but I like to think of it that way...

Anyway, I think I'm gonna start posting again after a long long absence.

p/s: That smiling hunk is me, in case you've forgotten how I looked like.
