What's In A Name

A yearbook photo session. At the end of the photo session with grade 2, the teacher lined up her students and asked, "What do you say?" In unison and in a singsong voice all screamed, "Thaaank youuu ibuuu...," a slight confusing pause, they had no clue who I am, then a boy in front of me, without missing a beat, finished the trail off greeting with, "...visitooor!" LOL. This used to be a place I called second home where everybody knows my name.

Thursday

Nothing went quite the way I plan,  from the minute I woke up right to the minute I went to bed. It was like Thursday was on to get me or something. What did I do? I got up on the wrong side of Thursday. Oh well, it's just one of those day. Just wing it. Shrug it off. Brush it off my shoulder. Let's dance!

Cat Got My Tongue

Any man who stop driving to save a lost scrawny little tiny kitten stranded in a middle of a street is a good man in my book. You are one of a kind Pak Hamzah.

Die Hard

My old white Macbook swallowed a CD and choked on it. I tried Heimlich maneuver but it didn't help. She turned blue and died in my arms.

Kingdom Come

One unsettled but lovely Thursday afternoon in a mall. Feeling rather restless. Million and one thing on my mind. Just realized I was going the wrong way when I saw a royal couple. They couldn't be husband and wive, could they? They must be newbies in love; both are still on a I-will-die-for-you-phase. Willing to do anything to please the other even if it means wearing similar tees in public. The thing people do in the name of love. Sweet?

Eliana

Hanya wak Yati yang mengantar ke stasiun kampung, memeluknya, berbisik, "Kau tahu Syahdan, hakikat cinta adalah melepaskan. Percayalah, jika memang itu cinta sejati kau, tidak peduli aral melintang, ia akan kembali padamu. Banyak sekali para pecinta di dunia ini yang melupakan kebijaksaaan sesederhana itu. Malah sebaliknya, berbual bilang cinta, namun dia menggenggamnya erat-erat." Tere-Liye

Welcome

Hello 2015. Nice to meet you. This morning you let me swim for 45 minutes and bike for another 45 minutes. You even let me face my fear of going on the street with Bumblebee. Later in the afternoon you grant me a lovely visit with my mom and a late lunch with my youngest sister. And thanks to your cool breeze on my terrace I was able to finish a book in one go! I have a feeling you and I are going to get along just fine. 2015, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship!
