argh make it stop

i need a smack in the head.

i can't stop bloghopping. lucky i know nothing of twitter, or i would be bloghopping AND twitterflitting. scary.

why la sume org letak link kat blog diorg? x pasal2 aku nampak mcm nama familar, terus klik. mcm best lak tuh (best: byk benda ditulis / nice layout). nasib baik aku bukan jenis shopaholic / daddy's rich kid / bride-to-be, who always feel the urge to outdo everybody else. and what better or faster way to do it than bloghopping? hehe.

i still suck at deciding what's best for me. and this addiction i have, shouldn't even be on my 'best' list.

tgk, cara tulis pun dah mcm blog2 yg aku baru jenguk tadi.

sakit tekak masa puasa adalah sangat tidak selesa. i might've been allergic to sth.

ok chiow.

do-over

it's Ramadhan, and i haven't tasted any kuih raya... yet.

confused? well obviously you're not a female in malaysia. for kuih raya is everywhere precisely before Ramadhan. even as early as nisfu Syaaban.

still in the dark? well maybe you are a loner, never have had the pleasure of interacting with other ppl whom you call 'colleagues' / '-mates'.

plus some other possibilities.

ramai je jual kuih raya, bg email ajak jemput rasa sume, tapi sume x sempat nak rasa (3-prose poem?). busy kot...

or should i blame this to my misplaced or probably lost excitement in enjoying Ramadhan as i have done effortlessly before? or is it due to the fact that not many share the same uplifting thoughts when it comes to Ramadhan (and increasingly so)? or, as usual, does it have something to do with the prospect of getting old?

if the latter's true, then i can see a bleak future ahead.

sometimes i do wonder if i am better off being a recluse.

anyhoo, seriously impressed by blog owners who manage to blog hop their whole day, and still being satisfied with themselves. i don't, hehe. tiba2 terdpt penyakit nak visit all of friends' blogs, friends of friends' blogs (2nd degree?)... and didn't have the guts to venture beyond. depressing aa gak tgk (read) interesting stories they wrote, not to mention over the top (hello, how much problem can a teenager have? drama queens). and most of all, apsal sume english sedap je? ke tahap pemahaman aku yg lemah? ke nampak hebat sbb balik2 cite pasal boyfriend/girlfriend yg kejap nak kejap x ndak, so balik2 boleh improvise on the group of vocabs you can associate the topic with? erk aku ni puji ke kondem nih?

aku pernah dgr gak yg org saja reka cite dlm blog as to attract visitors. lame. if you don't have anything to tell, then don't. lies won't get you anywhere decent. somewhere yes, but not anywhere decent. and, who cares about visitors? most of the visitors are there probably to ask you to visit their blogs anyways. or maybe buy sth from them. heh, alasan utk org yg dpt x sampai 20 pun sehari. well, like i care. err not that i'm gonna berate at those who do. kalau xde org nak baca xde la aku tulis.

utk menyedapkan hati sendiri: you are not what you write. not 100% at least.

and ramadhan may remind you of the sad things that have happened, but it's not an excuse to not treat ramadhan as a special month. we are muslims, after all.

p/s: ramadhan mubarak.. sama2lah kita memanfaatkannya.

baby genius

"i want my mama! i want my mama!"

"kid, i AM ur mama."

"....ngaaaaaaaaa!"

nazreen has learned a new word, and the right time to say it. the B word. no, not bi4tch, but b4b1 (apa kena aku hari ni, eja mcm konon cute haha).

dia akan sebut bila dia kena tegur / marah / sound bila buat perkara2 yg x sepatutnya. aku pun dah pernah kena. terkejut okay dgr budak kecik yg nak ckp pun payah tapi tiba2 boleh sebut the B word crystally clear. time biasa2 xde pulak sebut (well, not that we coerce/coax him to do so just to prove this point...) as usual, timbul pulak isu sapa yg sebut depan dia. no, not me sirree. i admit i do menyumpah seranah org, but using other B words. boleh pulak ada org salahkan bibik aku yg dah selamat agaknya goyang kaki mcm org kaya kat kampungnya di indon nun.

anyway, our mission is to discourage him fr using the word. agak susah la kan, considering rtm still refers to A(h1n1) (which puzzles me, why the parentheses? it's not like they'll be pronounced anyway) as 'selesema babi', whereas they're actually 2 different viruses.

it kinda worked, sorta. mak aku cite agaknya sbb selalu kena sound (nakal ooi budak nazreen ni, aku seriously kesian kat kucing2 yg dibuli olehnya), haritu masa dia kena marah, dia sebut, "bibaa..bibibababaa.." anak sapolah ni. semlm dah pendek siket, 'biba' je. quite a clever way to provoke someone hehe.

pastu dia buat lagi. masa mama dia ada semlm, dia ckp lagi babi. kena bebel la dgn mama dia lepas tu, "kalau ckp lagi mama #@$ mulut tuh." boleh lak dgn muka innocentnya, "biba?" "biba pun x boleh!" pastu buat muka confused. aaa rasa nak tepuk2 je pipi dia tu.

it doesn't end there. semlm apahal tah angin dia, x nak salam sapa2. buat dek je bila suh salam. last2 bapak aku pun xpela, x nak salam xpe. bila dah kat pintu depan, sekali lagi kakak ipar aku suh nazreen salam, "gi la amin wan.. x baik aa ayin nih." dgn selambanya, hulur tangan kat kucing aku yg masa tu duk dekat2 pintu jugak. siap ada mmmuuah lagi. hampehh. early signs of sarcastic nature perhaps?

to nazreen, pls make use your innate wit, sarcasm, wisdom and anything in-between wisely.

ok chiow.
