"Masaalah Negara"

Thanks Mak Yang for doing the "dirty job" on behalf of us, 7 siblings. Pheww.......kena tempias....

My prayer is answered

Akhirnya mak bersetuju berjumpa doktor pakar lutut. 8 Julai ni hari operationnya. Semoga semuanya berjalan dengan lancar..... It has been a long battle and a lot of persuasion to convince her to undergo this operation.....

"Sinful" Indulgence

Last weekend while jogging with my HM, our lucks came in handy. We stepped on coins twice. The moment you saw the coins, your mind immediately responded "boleh beli icecream..!!!!", macam kecik kecik dulu....During the old days, aiskrim Malaysia was our favorite or rather affordable...10 sen/piece hemm.... can make your hot afternoon feel immaterial. Sucking the aiskrim plastic with your buddies under pokok ubi gajah...

Unfortunately, when come to our kids, ice creams are strictly "controlled items". Cipa is very sensitive to ice and aiskrim Malaysia is totally banned for her. When she came back from school with heavy coughs, immediately we knew that she had had some aiskrim Malaysia outside the school compound.

The other day, our friend told us about his father's trick when he was small. Every time the ice cream man made his daily round, he would ask the father about the noisy bell. His father never failed to answer "orang jual ayam..."

As for me and my HM, we always secretly buy and eat our favorite ice cream (macadamia Haagan Dazs....!!!) on the way home from work and increase the speed and the scoop as our car gets nearer to our home. The traces of the ice cream stay in the rubbish bin outside the house.....

Age & Numbers

While waiting for for my wife in the car this morning, I asked Oun "Ngapa Mama lambat". "Mama lama make up kot" was his response. I told Oun "Hemmmm Perempuan... and her make up" .. Oun asked back "Perempuan muda ke tua?" . To be on the safe side I refused to answer the question ... Later I described our conversation to my HM. Her final comment was " Age, tua or muda is only numbers ok" Hemmm..........

My HM and her Sleepover

Pagi ni orang rumah bawak turun 2 bantal dan boston bag masa nak pergi kerja. Oun dan Abang Ngah memang dah tau mamanya nak sleepover malam ni kat rumah kawannya... Dia orang komen...mama ni dah tua tua pun nak sleepover.....kena gelak dengan bebudak.... Lepas tu dia orang tanya ada pillow fight tak? Dengar kata nak ada buat pizza le.. pyjama parade le.. hindustan movie session le...

But one thing for sure biasanya sleepover ni memang tak sleep pun dan yang lain lainnye yang ter"over"....Hemmm, macam macam ibu ibu moden sekarang ni......

Din Beramboi Dalam Kenangan

Terkejut besar pagi ni bila dapat berita kematian Din Beramboi. Dari minggu sudah tertanya tanya mana pergi Din Beramboi bila buka radio pagi pagi masa nak pergi kerja.

Hari Selasa ber"blackberry" dengan Akmam, kebetulan mak dia kena bedah lutut di hospital Selayang. Dia cerita ramai artis datang ke sana sebab melawat Din Beramboi yang kena masuk ICU. Tanya Akmam dia sakit apa? Food poisoning jawabnya... Lepas tu hantar SMS kat orang rumah bagitau dia pasai Din Beramboi... Ornag rumah jawab turuk sangat food poisoning ni sampai masuk ICU....

Besuknya baru ada berita dalam suratkhabar pasal Din Beramboi kena denggi berdarah... Semalam baca berita, anak dia kata keadaan bapaknya dah eluk sikit dari hari sebelumnya.... Kita pun lega le... Tau tau pagi ni dah pergi....Saleh Yaakob pun kendur aje bunyinya pagi tadi..mcam penyidai kain melepa ke tanah.....

Rutin pagi pagi masa dalam kereta dengan orang rumah. 6.50am - hantar Oun & Cipa ke sekolah,- Oun pasang radio Fly FM. Oun dah keluar kereta cepat cepat tukar ke ERA 7am - sawan cara by Din Beramboi. 7.30am - radio ERA Drama Sebabak sambil makan breakfast masa jalan jam. 7.45am tukar ke Sinar dengar Saleh Yaakob sampai le ke ofis.

Tak boleh lupa bila Din buat jadi Indian guy.. siap dengan bunyi "ekk... ekk" tu... Dan jadi Chinese guy "along".... kelako gila....Masa program Raja Lawak ,program kegemaran Abang Ngah, Oun dan Cipa,Din jugak jadi bahan gelak bebudak...`1

Now, without him, our daily morning dosage of radio ERA won't be the same.....One thing for sure, it is not easy to be funny in the early morning... but not Din Beramboi...

Captain How!

While having teh tarik session with my client the other day, he told me about his company's previous Operations Manager (OM). This OM is a First Class Master Mariner, previously worked for an international Oil and Gas company. After retiring from this big company, he was employed by my client's company to tap his vast experince as a marine expert. Somehow, after a while, the staff dubbed him as "Capt How". The reason being, every time his staff had operation problems and brought up the matters to this OM, his standard response was ..so how? ...so How? .....This OM did not last long with his new job...

Hemmmm.....the moral of the story, don't be fooled by these dudes who claim to have long and high position in big international companies, When come to actual works, they know nuts.........
