Loser, Winner

LOSER
This guy is messed up. Who the hell does he think he is? He’s rude and a freaking idiot. Sure, it’s the VMA and it’s MTV and it makes for great television. Then one look at Taylor Swift’s crestfallen face and it’s not so funny anymore. The poor girl looked like she was going to burst into tears.
I heard he got escorted out from the building after his stupid rant. I just hope the security shoved their foot up his ass before tossing him out on the pavement.

WINNER
Leave it to Bootylicious to save the day. After winning Video of the Year, she graciously gave the stage to Taylor to “have her moment”. Now that’s the true spirit of entertainment. It doesn’t have to be shocking or ridiculous. Heart warming moments are what this world needs more of.


LOSER
I understand that when you’re tired and under the pressure of defending your title, getting called for a foot fault may be frustrating. However, it’s no reason to rant for minutes at the linesman. And threatening to shove your racket down her throat.The dudette was only doing her job. I hardly think she was out to get Serena for any personal reason. Bad form by Serena, I think, especially since it cost her the match.

WINNER
I teared up when I first watched this clip. So touching.

Steve Monforto leaned over the railing and made a beautiful 2-handed catch. He celebrates with other fans, high-fives his 3-year-old daughter, Emily, and hands his prize over to his little daughter to keep.

BIG MISTAKE!!

Instead of hanging on to it, Emily does what little kids do: She throws the ball back!

Her dad was shocked, he definitely wasn't expecting that. But instead of getting mad he wraps his arms around his daughter and hugs her, a sweet and priceless moment.Apparently the girl was a little upset after the toss. "I gave her a big hug and she buried her head in my chest and I said 'It's all right, don't worry about it," "I give [her] a ball at home, and she throws it and I throw it back," Steve continued. "So, I gave her a ball and she threw it!"

Bear hugs are the best! Definitely “Father of the Year” material!!

Time to Dig Up My Old VHS Tapes

I didn’t flinch when MJ died. It hardly hit me when Farrah went too. But this guy…this guy gets me. I feel it everytime I hear that song. I feel it everytime I see clay pottery. I feel it everytime I sit in a corner.
I [heart] Partick Swayze. RIP.

Imagining a Target on Every Head Around Me

Stuck in a presentation meeting with boss. Hmmm...it's been 2 hours and we're only up to slide #12. 20 slides to go, then it's my portion to present.

It's already 4.30pm...what time is this meeting going to end?!!!!

Depa ni semua x posa ke? Tak ingat nak balik rumah nak masak ke? Ke ada bibik macam aku untuk tolong masak? Eventhough I have a bibik, I still want to be at home to break fast with the kids.

Uwaaa....please people. Can we move along? Why are we taking 20 minutes to discuss each slides? Uhuk...it's bad enough I have to drive back alone because hubby is breaking fast at a nearby hotel (vendor belanja). Why aren't I going with him? Gooooodddd question...hmmm. Nevermind la, pity Dania having to break fast alone.

Oh my god, they've backtracked to slide #10!! That's it...it seems, I'll be here till tomorrow morning.

8 Years and Counting

Today is our 8 year anniversary. Very sombre compared to previous years.

1. Hubby didn't wish me until I wished him first during our way to work. Even then he wouldn't admit that he'd forgotten. Sob! We drove past a Pizza San Francisco outlet and he said "ok, tonight I'll bring you out and eat here." Huh? A bowl of pasta is not going to get you off that easily!!

2. On my way back from a morning meeting, I slipped on the stairs and fell on my butt. Sib baik kaki tersilang cantik, duduk bersimpuh. Kalau terkangkang, memang aku tobat resign terus! People in their cars lining up to enter the parking lot all turned and looked at me. A taxi blew his horn. "Yeah, thanks for the heads up, bro. Why don't you take a picture and put it on the Internet next time."

3. In the end, hubby and I didn't go out for dinner. Bibik had already cooked up a storm. Hubby promised to take me out this weekend. Mana bang, makan roti canai ke? *Sigh*

Apa2 je la hubby dearest. I still love you to death!

Blog Tag Bahasa Melayu

Curik dari blog Ila. Dia tak ajak buat pun, aku buat jugak.

1. Bekas kekasih saya adalah :
Mendiang River Phoenix…bleh? Wakakaka..perasan la beb. Actually Along nak ngaku hal bekas kekasih ni, payah sket. Sebab tak pernah ada kekasih sebelum hubby. Wah…begitu “perempuan melayu terakhir”kah aku? Oh bukan. Tidak sama sekali. Cuma banyak kes aku berchintan, either aku yang tergila ngan mamat tu or mamat tu yang tergila ngan aku. Takde yang betul2 serasi hinggalah berjumpa mamat bernama R@*^!& K$^&*.

2. Saya sedang mendengar :
Ofismate tengah salam2 semua orang sebab arini last day dia kat sini. Member ikut laki pi belajar kat Jepun. Sesungguhnya aku amat jeles!! Awat la laki aku maleh nak sambung belajar ni? Bleh aku pi ikut, jadi house wife, shopping je keje…wakakaka..lagi satu kes perasan.

3. Mungkin saya patut:
Pi solat zohor dah. Dah kul 3.30pm, tak solat lagi! Sia2 je aku posa kalau solat hujung waktu…takpe, habiskan tag ni dulu.

4. Saya suka :
mendengar celoteh anak2. Memang kekadang tak terlayan tapi semestinya terhibur.

5.Sahabat-sahabat baik saya :
Memang tak ramai tapi yang ada tu…memang kamcing habis!! I love you guys!!

6.Saya tak paham :
Macamana orang macam Paris Hilton tu bleh laku? Padahal dia langsung takde talent, nak kata lawa pun tak sangat.

7.Saya kehilangan :
Keupayaan untuk membeli kereta baru dengan cash. Kalau piker lelama, memang bleh nangis…so takmo piker lagi.

8.Ramai yang berkata :
Aku dapat keje aku sekarang ni sebab ayah aku. Itu dulu la, memang sakit telinga dengar sup sap suap sap orang dok ngata. Masa tu aku memula start keje, pressure ya amat. Ni ayah aku pun dah lama pencen. Aku harap aku dah buktikan pada orang yang aku dapat keje ni atas kemampuan aku sendiri.

9.Makna nama saya :
Kalau tak silap, maksudnya awal. Apa yang awal aku pun tak sure. Kalau pi keje tu, lambat lagi ada la…kalau bab orang belanja makan je aku bleh awal. Hehehe..

10.Cinta itu adalah :
Sesuatu yang either indah atau menyakitkan.

11.Di suatu tempat, seseorang sedang :
tengah best bawak anak2 pi tengok wayang cite Up. Padahal bini dia tengah pulun kat tempat keje. Eh, bukan pulun..update blog. Ok la, pulun update blog. Apesal bini dia keje padahal si suami tidak? Sebab bos bini dia cuti dan sepatutnya ada meeting yang kena pi. Sekali dapat tau meeting tu cancel. Haru hati si bini…kalau tak, bleh dia layan cite Up tu sekali.

12.Saya akan cuba :
untuk melihat setiap hari sebagai peluang untuk memperbaiki nasib diriku, keluargaku dan negaraku. Pergh….1Malaysia habis. Sket2 kelakar lak bunyi dia.

13.Ayat SELAMANYA membawa maksud :
kasih saying seorang ibu pada anak2nya. Unconditional love.

14.Telefon bimbit saya :
pakai hubby punya yang lama. Akunya apesal buat hal, takmo charge. Asyik2 tertera “unable to charge” kat skrin. Sib baik bulan Ramadhan, kalau tak dah lama aku lambungkan phone tu ke dinding.

15.Bila saya terjaga dari tidur :
mesti berkata2 pada diri sendiri…”5 minit je lagi, 5 minit je lagi”. Dan-dan dah sejam sambung tido.

16.Saya paling meluat apabila :
nampak orang buang sampah merata2, orang bawak kereta macam jalan tu bapak dia yang punya, mendengar cakap orang2 politik ni yang banyak munasarawak dari munasabah.

17.Pesta/Parti adalah :
Masa untuk berkumpul dengan kawan2 lama. Selalu bikin kat rumah aku sebab rumah aku ada bibik. Hahaha…saja je depa ni, tapi takpe, aku pun suka member2 bertandang ke rumah. Rasa meriah je. Tapi sekali sekala la…aku bukan rajin nak mop lantai hari2 pun.

18.Haiwan yang paling comel yang saya pernah temui ialah :
Kucing parsi asli kat rumah jiran. Pergh, bangsa letak tangan atas badan dia terus tenggelam. Punyala lebat bulu dia. Dah tu manja lak tu. Asyik2 nak gesel2 kat kaki orang. Sib baik ko kucing, kalau manusia, dah lama kena humban dalam van pencegah maksiat.

19.Peringkat umur yang paling menyeronokkan bagi saya ialah :
20-24. Time tu kat US. Walaupun tensen ngan study tapi seronok bila time cuti. Berjalan sakan.

20.Hari ini :
Menumpang ofismate ke tempat keje. Sib baik dia pi keje, kalau tak aku kena naik komuter. Uwek, malehnya nak bersesak2. Dah la ngan H1N1 ni….hmmm, lagila maleh. Balik nanti maybe tumpang kawan yang lain lak. Tengok camne hubby nak ambik kat mana nanti.

21.Malam ini saya akan :
tido awal. Ngantuk wei, semalam bleh lak aku layan Ace Ventura sampai kul 1am. Gelak sorang2 kat hall tu. Pagi tadi dah menyesal…ngantuk ya amat!!

22.Esok pula saya akan :
Pi keje ngan hubby. Cuba untuk balik awal.

23.Saya betul-betul inginkan :
sebuah mpv yang besar tapi still sporty, yang tak berapa mahal, senang nak maintain, paling best kalau ada orang bagi free, or aku menang contest ke. Masalahnya aku memang maleh masuk contest ni, tapi lepas tu jaki tengok orang lain menang. Camne??!!

24.Ketika anda lihat wajah anda di hadapan cermin pagi ini :
mata sembab!! Ace Ventura, it’s all your fault.

25.Pusat membeli-belah atau arked permainan :
Pusat membeli belah, walaupun aku tak berapa gemar shopping sebenarnya. Aku ni jenis kalau nak beli baju ke, seluar ke..kena 10 kali test, compare baru beli. Kekadang tu tak beli langsung. Selalu amalkan “buy what you need, not what you want’. Masalahnya ibu aku dok bebel sebab aku pakai baju 15 tahun ke tempat keje. Asalkan tak koyak nampak spender, lantak la yerk..

26.Makanan Barat atau Jepun :
Barat. Apa kes makan benda mentah? Tak dapat ditelan dek tekak.

27.Bilik yang terang atau gelap:
Gelap. Terang = panas. Lagipun kalau gelap aku leh berangan macam2 time….tooooootttttt. Ops silap, bukan untuk diceritakan di sini. Wakakaka.

28.Makanan segera adalah :
Sesuatu yang aku dah boikot sejak kempen boikot start awal tahun aritu. Bleh pun idup tak pi makan kat McD dan yang sewaktu dengannya. Bagus…anak2 aku pun dah pandai untuk tidak meminta. Kalau tak, pantang nampak signboard M bagak tu je, terjerit2 nak fries. Padahal kat rumah tu sepeket besar abah depa dah belikan, sikit tak hingin.

29.Ayat terakhir yang anda katakan pada seseorang?
To my girls before going to work today – Ok, love you. Have fun today (sebab nak pi tengok cite Up ngan abah depa).

30.Siapa yang anda nak Tag?Sukati korang la..sapa nak buat, buat…

Daria and Her Relationship With The Camera

Daria is going to be 4 months old this coming 16th Sept. My, how time flies. She growing by the minute and is constantly amazing us with her smile and laughter.

One thing I've noticed about her is her reluctance to smile for the camera. It's like she has it in for the thing! She could be laughing her head off one minute and as soon as I aim the lenses at her, she'll sense it and immediately clam up.


I've tried everything; waving her favorite toy in front of her, calling to her in that incredibly high voice we do when we talk to babies (why do we do that?), placing the camera at an angle so it's not pointing directly at her. No use, she knows when she's being photographed and unlike Paris Hilton, she does not appreciate the moment.

Proof in hand.
Too busy playing with her feet (which she's just discovered) to smile for the camera. Also I sign she'll be rolling over soon. Sigh, it's gonna be even tougher to change her diaper when she does.
This was actually snapped while she was half way laughing and half way frowning. Tengah gelak2 bleh terus berkerut tengok camera depan muka.
I tried to "hide" the camera and take her picture from a different angle. Did not work.
"Stop trying to take my picture, woman and feed me already!! Can't you see I'm hungry enough to eat my own hand?!"

My Mom's Birthday Dinner

Last Saturday (29th Aug) was my mom's 54th birthday. 54. Let me be the one to say this; the woman does not look 54 years old. Nor does she act like it sometimes. Several times people have mistaken us as siblings. I don't if this means that my mom looks young or I look old. Hmm..let's go with the former, shall we?

As a treat, my brother and I took the whole family out for dinner. My mom chose the venue; Pizza San Francisco. Haha, I know, it's not glamorous but initially she was the one who wanted to treat everyone and that was the only place she could afford.

Since it was Ramadhan, we all broke fast at home first. Then after Maghrib, we headed out to the restaurant. Dokat je, tak sampai 10 minit dah sampai. We had made reservations just in case there were a lot of people. When we arrived, the restaurant was half empty so we had a choice of whether to eat inside or outside. We chose outside since inside there were so many insects!!


Most of us ordered the ribs, while the girls had pizza and fish & chips. I ordered the pasta primavera with shrimp which was rather good. Of course, everything tasted good since everyone was famished!


It was a great dinner due to good food and even better company. The price was not bad either; RM388 for 10 people eating. I suspect we'll be going there again for another family dinner soon. As always, I forgot to take any pictures of the food. Too busy eating! This was taken after everyone had finished stuffing themselves (except my mom who was complaining they had given her too many slices of lamb chops (which she then put in front of me to finish)!!)

My mom attempting to finish her lamb chops. Look at hubby, so full! Hehehe..
The newly engaged couple with Dania.
My mom unwrapping her birthday present. It was a last minute purchase, hehehe.
And the verdict...she loved it!! The latest designer handbag from Liz Claiborne.

A Short Update

I just got back my laptop yesterday. They had to replace the hard disc in the end since there were so many viruses attached.

Tu la...sapa soh abang pakai laptop Along download movies bittorrent ni??!! Kan dah banyak virus menghinggap!!

Actually I can't blame hubby that much for downloading all those movies; most of them were my request in the first place. Hehe. But he should know better than to download those with viruses. Bukan patut ada antivirus ke laptop aku ni? Hmm..whatever it is, after I got back my laptop, I found out some of my files were missing. Dik Sapura oi, I told you if any of my files went missing, I'll retire!! You need to come back and find those files, one way or another.

I still owe a post about my mom's birthday celebration, our iftar gathering with friends and also Daria's latest pictures. My mom has been bugging me to print some photos of the girls for her to frame. Ketahuilah ibu dearest, Along dah tak print gambar sejak tahun 2005 lagi! Everything is stuck within my home laptop. If that laptop goes missing, there goes all those memories. Hmmm...maybe I should print out the pictures. I have 3 empty albums at home because of this fact.

This morning, hubby told me we may be going back to Melaka this weekend. Hmm...baru nak berehat kat rumah. It's ok la, since I'm such a Mithali wife, follow je la. I'll bring my laptop with me so I can update my blog. Kalau tak, keje terbongkang je la aku nanti.

Have a great weekend, everybody!!
