So, everybody has an opinion about yesterday's rally in KL, right? Sadly, that's not what I'm gonna talk about today. Just saying that even our sleepy town here bubbled with unrest when our beloved 'angkasawan' (Malaysian term for astronaut'), Dato' Syeikh Muszaphar landed here for an event with the 'rakyat'.
Of course, we're excited to welcome his arrival. A friend even organized a program nuhaafnanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13977521159502403062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10273903.post-13547397963552317282011-03-07T19:16:00.000+08:002011-03-07T19:16:52.742+08:00BUTTERCUP DAYS

Where is Anne?
Head above the buttercups,
Walking by the stream,
Down among the buttercups.
Where is Anne?
Walking with her man,
Lost in a dream,
Lost among the buttercups.
What has she got in that little brown head?
Wonderful thoughts which can never be said.
What has she got in that firm little fist of hers?

There was a time that I was the self-proclaimed 'food snob'. Growing up, we've always had soups and masak kicap, fried chicken and quick & easy stir-fry meals. Basically mild and bland foods. Konon tekak mat saleh. Occasionally we'll have curry to cater to my younger bro's appetite.

It's anniversary time. No, no, it's not the kind that you might think, it's our car's anniversary that's coming up. I've just serviced my car (which I should have done since last November). Our Latio is three years old come April and I've gotta spare some cash for the road tax and insurance. So much for an anniversary gift, huh?

She's been asking and asking about it impatiently for months and when the day finally arrived, she was in a state of disbelief. Kinda blase or uninterested even, if I might say.
Yes, it was the day of her 5th birthday. The day that I promised her a great big party day and she could have all her friends over. We'd have a huge heckuva cake, a pinata, music, games and silly hats and masks.

Ramadhan is here once again and I've been planning to do this for quite sometime. I've been making this business as a side income and we all know that, for all the blessings and rizq we receive from the Almighty, it is not 100% ours to keep.

To some people, house birds that nested around their houses are pests. They bring dry grass, straw and other junks into the crevices of your house and leave bird poop in at your front door. In my grandma's house, they poop all over her bathroom in the guest room. She complains to me all the time about the smell and the back breaking chore of cleaning up.

Today
I'm giving thanks
instead of complaining
Seeking
forgiveness
instead of condemning
Nurturing affection
rather than
harboring resentment
Look for the beautiful
and be awed
Glimpse at the unsightly
and leave it to the Lord
Not to overanalyze
Or scrutinize
Striving
Instead of settling
Do what I love
Read
Write
Blog
Bake
Sing
Dance

I've lost interest in FB and Twitter, Blogger's been giving such a hard time, berukband's been acting up and nothing I do seem right.

It's inevitable that a proper haircut was coming. I couldn't be trimming her bangs every two weeks myself, and she kept losing her hair clips, hair grips and whatnot at school. Often she came home from school looking like this.

Butlers have always fascinated me. Popular images of them are potrayed as more than just a manservant with their posh stature and usually dry British wit.
