MY DR. MCDREAMBOAT

This is probably stale news, but I think it's still worth a shot. Was flipping through some women's magazines the other day and loooookit waht I foooooooound...





Girls (and boys - OKlah I won't leave you out), introducing Malaysia's first astronaut (first candidate actually), Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, 34, the Chosen One, HUKM medical doctor, part time model & co-business owner of the popular Rebung restaurant.



Yeaaaaaah, I know *passing wet tissues to wipe off the drools*


Hubba hubba *sighs*swoons*faints*

He was chosen out of 12,000 applicants and passed all physical, mental & medical tests with flying colours. I'm not sure whether they went on with the online vote. But if they did, I'm not surprised he got chosen.


How does it feel to be a 'backup'? Pak Lah tak pandang pun kat you....

Oh, the 3rd person from the left is Dr. Faiz, the second candidate. He could still be in it, hokay. I read somewhere that Yuri Gagarin was a backup too. And did you know that both of them have signed a contract to NOT get married until 2008???

Well, I have nothing against Malaysia spending millions on this project.

But here's where it got really tacky. Can u imagine him making teh tarik in space for a physics experiment? You gotta be kidding me! If that's not enough, they're gonna introduce some Malaysian cuisine to the Russians *slaps forehead*

All this in the name of Malaysia the Bolehland and "bringing Malaysian customs to the attention of a worldwide audience". Instead of coming up with a mind-blowing, earth shattering research, why not just conduct a mini demonstration instead that is so close to our hearts (and tummy) and try to pass it off as a valid scientific experiment.

I'm sure he's gonna execute the 'tea-pulling' ceremony with his megawatts sparkling pearlies straining his jaw when he's actually wishing he can roll his eyes in disgust instead and wondering what has he done in his lifetime to be condemned to this publicity stunt.

I'm not sure what to think. Is it a 'cheap' experiment, or an expensive 'experiment'?

Brilliant. Just brilliant. People will laugh, but they will take notice of us, Malaysia.

10th MONTH UPDATE

Just a quick one.

1) She stands on her own (Ok, only 5 seconds but that still counts!)

2) Starts to point at things that grabs her interest

3) Recognizes and points at things on cue, e.g. fish, flower, fan, tv, book, momma, abah.

4) 'Reads' her books and babbles while pointing at the images (macam real baca gitu!)

5) Leans forward and kisses you when you ask her to (eagerly too!). "Nunu- KISS!"

6) Learnt how to come down from the bed, bontot and feet first

7) Makes a run to the stairs at every chance she got

8) Shouts back at you when you 'reprimand' her ("Heeeppp!" she goes!)

9) No signs of a sprouting tooth yet (tapi gums dia keras!)

10) Not much hair too! (Apa boleh buatttt.....)

BOOBIE BOTTLE

Woo hoo! Look what I've found while browsing through this online store. I remember (long long ago) Hana once mused about it during Aniq's (brief) refusal to take the bottle and I quote ( sorry, I tak reti lah nak link!) :

"now, with all this ado about bottles, what i'd like to know is - why in heck
aren't bottles shaped like boobs? someone should seriously rethink this whole
bottle design thing. who invented them, men? sheesh! what do they know?

i'd like to suggest that bottles be round. (or oval - variety is important. we come
in many shapes and sizes.) they should be made of silicone instead of hard
plastic. (maybe breast implant experts could dabble in this field.)

teats should be more pliable like the real thing. (not all of us have long, hard nipples like avent's, you know. we should be so lucky.) and perhaps, an added feature would be a scratch-and-sniff thing, for babies who want that mommy-pheremone scent. or a pocket for placing mommy's sweaty, milk-stained breast pad so baby can have a
whiff of her close by, just like the real thing!

in any case, society has forced upon us and our babies to accept bottles as a norm and poor substitute to our perfectly-designed mammary glands. "

NOW only I know there is such bottle, minus the mommy scent, of course.

Now, go go. Tell all your friends about this wonderful product :)

P/s: Sorry lah, Mynn ye! This entry punnnn you sure takbley or tak nak comment!
