There...we go!


It’s kinda awkward, writing out something in this moment at this time knowing that people around you are dying for your latest post with a “well…how is it?” Divinekid already posted “I Want Details” on events, as if I am the President of The United States Of America after minutes of declaring war on some…nation out there.

Yeah, like you already heard (from the phone, internet, Yahoo Messenger, MSN, Motor Mouth Tangerine or whoever birds chirping in the morning); -making it sounds as formal and with little emotional outburst as possible: I had successfully given birth to a 2.8kg baby girl. Before anyone of you start cheering, I would like to point out that Vladurac, Perebum XS, Tailgunner, Bunny 2 and My own husband (unbelievable) I need to collect RM30 from each and everyone of you for loosing the bet. Well, my husband knew his fate earlier after the baby scan result.

Her name is Abigail, as expected nearly half the population had “Huh?” written on their forehead. Only Vladurac had the guts to ask what kind of name (well he had a lot of guts anyway – he had more guts than brain that’s for sure) is that?” You guys don’t blame me! Blame my partner for that. We was the Ultra Mega Einstein that comes out with a Chinese name that starts with the letter “Z” –yes although it sounds cool but imagine having a “Z” name you be on the bottom list of everything (class, line ups, voting polls, vaccinations, etc) If you still don’t dig what I mean, ask Alonqexe, go and ask him how he feels to be the “Q” name of the community. Aha..maybe that’s why he used the nickname that starts with the letter “A”. See..its pure common sense.

She's born at midnight, weird ain’t it? There you are ready to doze of and suddenly the baby was extra anxious to “meet the world”….. I was frantically clicking on the “Nurse Call” button while cursing “dammit kid, can’t you at least wait till morning?”

I was then rushed to the launching bay..with all the Formula One crew on standby.

One thing is damn true..you kinda fell sleepy afterwardszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…….I realized that my legs kinda collapsed on me. They say it’s normal until I fully recovered. I was wheelchaired home and spend most of my days either playing and poking at baby Abigail or if you ever see me online or on the net, keep in mind I’m doing so lying on the bed – Tangerine, looks like buying yourself a lappie is not a bad idea after all.

People are screaming post pictures, well it's understandable that a picture beat a thousand words...millions even, but i wish to invent a new quote:

"A video beats a million pictures"

There is a video around this blog somewhere, you just need to click the right button. You know me...i won't give it taht straightforwardly easy for you all. Show me your determination and you guys will be well rewarded.

School Trippin'




"Year End Sale are Ebil.."



I squeezed in some time for an update so here goes...

A few days back, i got the opportunity to visit one of those "end of the world" -outback school; SK Gumpey (about a 100+ km from Kuching) I was bored being rooted all day in the office so when the company decided to send in some people to handle deliveries, guess i volunteered to tag along..





Rural school is no stranger for me since basically I'm a town person myself....and this school really does remind me to my old long lost schooling days. It's good to wind back some of the nostalgic moments back then but....



..i was wondering, after all these 28 years if time ever stand still, the right place for THAT to happen should be right here right now. Compared to the "more advanced" schools situated in the cities, (not to mention comparing these to overseas educational institution) there are still heaps and tons to be done to improve the standard of education and improving the school facilities for rural school children...


..some of stuff found here are just pure relic of the past. How clearly that we are light years behind.


..for those who think that school is the worst place in the world to spend your teenage days in, try attending one, minus the table and chairs....can chiong till lunch or not? Be grateful you have somewhere to sit and someplace to write your notes on.



This hole connects one of the classroom to the next door teachers office. It's easier to monitor the class by just peeping through it. Just hope no bravado kids had the guts to poke their teacher in the eye while they busy spyin....





The school was built on a swampy location near the river bank. What a place to be...i wonder what happened during monsoon season. This looks more like a Rice plantation field than that of a primary school.



Thus..if u don't wanna get your feet stuck in the mud, use those joined-together wooden planks to more from one classroom to another!




.. Staff Office. Look Closer and you will see...


...a hefty lookin old country town (western bar style sign board)



..this will be the only sole school garden. The area is not that big. You can finish your school tour here in 3 minutes. The in between class blocks are a few metres away..



One of these two blocks are the student library..now in case you been wondering what they are being reading, try to imagine what your dad or mum read back in the 1980's. Fresh books are rarities, my friends. Some are downright donated. c'mon guys we need more budget for the outback kids education.



...ending my day going back home i wonder, which is more meaningful? Sending a guy to space or sending 40 rural kids to university. Yet again..if there's a will, there's a way.

Stay In Line!




"ok, nobody is allowed to ROFL."


I would like to congratulate this anonymous old man for grabbing my attention and make his way into my blog. Now you might wonder, why in hell am i running around stalking and taking pictures of an old half balded man in a shopping mall?



-cos I'm pissed


I went to the mall one evening, getting myself things for dinner and all that...cutting the details (3 unagis, 2 bottles of Coca Cola, bunch of Spaghetti's and a Coleslaw later) like many good citizens we were lining up to pay for whatever stuff we took from the shelves.

Like many other malls in our beloved country, 3 out of 4 cash counters are empty so the lines just got longer......

As expected customers are unhappy and they are hungry for blood. Minutes later another counter was opened and lucky me i was the second person to be in the new line.


Until this sucker came by..

...he swiftly, without a single word intercepted my line, put down his cans of preserved veggies and God knows what else he buys on the counter, pays for it and walked away like nothing ever happened (of course for him NOTHING ordinary actually happen) -so i flipped up my phone took his picture and swear I'm gonna make him famous in the cyberworld.

so...

Question:

Why do you need to be so angry he just cut a line in front of you, its no big deal isn't it?

Of course the world wont torn to two nor the sky reign fire due to his inappropriate behaviour but an elderly man should be familiar with the word courtesy don't they? At least he can just say a simple line like...."Excuse me I'm in a hurry, can i cut in front of you? I'm terribly sorry." - sure no problem, I'll be more than happy, just ask and i gladly give way too you without any complains. But dashing in front of people in a place where you need line up just like any other didn't even apologise or even state out a good reason for your unfavourable actions, you must be a monkey in a mans suit.

This old man already lived for so long with this kind of mentality, what deed(s) he taught his children(s) back home. I wonder if he choked himself on his canned preserved vegetables he just bought if he ever saw his face being advertised in here. I'm looking forward to see that.

So to ill mannered people out there, look out for a nerd in black, cos who knows..you're next!
