Come What May

Remember the song kids used to sing during choir time? Then I do not know who sang the song. Later in life only I found out, it is a Doris Day song.

There are times that I felt, that I have made (very) wrong decisions in life, make costly mistakes, but I rarely (if never) regretted the choice I have made.

Anyway,recently a friend (M)start talking about life and death, asked me if life can be any different? Will he find happiness ever after? I cannot give a straight answer or even a maybe.

The lyric of whatever will be, will be.... echoed in my head. Yes.. whatever will happen, will happen. I leave it at that.


QUE SERA SERA.

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother
What will I be
Will I be pretty
Will I be rich
Here's what she said to me

Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be

When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart
What lies ahead
Will we have rainbows
Day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said

Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be

Now I have Children of my own
They ask their mother
What will I be
Will I be handsome
Will I be rich
I tell them tenderly

Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
Que Sera, Sera

Lembaption aka tembel people

I can't stand this type of people especially if they are guys...
Lembap, tembel, slow coach .......Mintak maap banyak-banyak... kalau hensem macam brad pitt (takle hensem pun to me!) pun tapi kalau cik Mbab gue akan delete dari list hahahaha

Semalam tension sebab terpaksa deal dengan mamat yang lembab... Ramai plak tu kat sini, ishh they are dragging me down to their lembabville.... dahla cakap pun slow, jalan slow (korang perasan tak camna geng geng tembel ni jalan... badak jalan pun ada gaya!! tak larat aku nak tunggu depa jalan from point A to B), guna otak pun slow, kira semuanya serba serbi slow laaaa .... Nak digest instructions dari aku pun macamlah aku talk nuclear science dengan depa.. ish ish ish Sabar ajela sudin...

kekadang hilang sabar aku kat dema ni sampai terpikir.. ada gak minah yang minat ngan mat slow macam ni.... Err ok ok jodoh pertemuan di tangan tuhan hahahaha Mungkin ada benda lain yang depa buat slow yang menarik minat pempuan tu aku tak tahu la .. muahaahaaaaaa

Anyway saje nak mereleasekan tension .......
Dear god, please protect me from these people and don't let me be one!!!

"Between Us" - A poem

Not intended for anyone in particular at this moment.. I just thought this is beautiful ....
At a few crossroad of my life, I have faced this ........ Did I ever cross that line.. hmmm maybe :)

Between Us
by May Queen

There is the melody
I can't play for you,
There is the song
I can't sing for you.
Always,I want to be with you,
Touch, feel your heart.
Between us
There is the lineI can't cross.

My mother's daughter

Haven't got time to story about the travel in Bali.... Another trip coming...
Me and mom are going to MEDAN ... Feel I should take her somewhere while she still sihat and can walk and shop hehehe

She been talking about going to Medan or Hong Kong. To me going to Hong Kong would be better as Uncle and Kak Teh will be able to bring her shopping kat whatever tempat in Hong Kong. Medan trip will only be the two of us, and the last time I was there was ages ago... 10 years ago..

Karipap Panas

I made karipap international -- hmm why so named
Ingredientnya tuan-tuang and puan-puang sekeliang..

itu kentang dari dari US - russet potato are used
itu daging -- kita guna daging australia jugak banyak tender
dan itu bawang --- tarak guna bawang india tapi itu holland punya bawang
Tepung cap sauh -- mesia punya barang la
Margerine - naturel
Minyak mengoreng - sunflower oil mak aiii
and rempah kari tarbus malaysia jugak mari

Imagine tak reach jambatan pulau pinang mamat dua ekor tu dah habiskan dua ploh bijik karipap... Sumpeh samada karipap aku sedap giler atau dema tu lapar gileeer tak breakfast lagi

Hehehe siapa nak resepi sila kontak dengan pengeras sekali.

Doa of the day - for singletons out there

An Ode to Tok Lebaq

Tok Lebaq has left us on the early morning of Sunday 9th 2005. I was in Gurun driving to Perlis with Juli, when Che Wang call to say Tok Lebaq dah tak de lagi. She tak sempat to taste the fuji apple that i kirim her.

If this has happen a week earlier .. Che Wang and me are still in Bali.

Al-fatihah for Tok Lebaq. I will post the ode that Chor writes for TL.

Here it is (26th May 2005)

An Ode to Tok Lebaq
(who passes peacefully on the 8th of May 2005, May Allah Bless Her)
(fashioned after Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s “Sonnets from the Portuguese”)


How do I remember thee? Let me count the ways:

I remember when your name was fist mentioned,
Spoken with underlying affection,
I wondered at the person,
Who could invoke such deep devotion,
From a granddaughter who otherwise seems utterly “no-nonsense”

I remember that day I met you,
Such a wonder I should tell you,
That a big, bulky name has been given,
To such a tiny graceful woman

The most profound thing I remember though,
Is how warm you welcomed us all,
So gracious a host I couldn’t ask for,
You embraced us into the family with sincere candour

I remember your eyes and seasoned face
They mirrored well-numbered journeys through time and space
Of life full of wisdom and sage
That never waned in spite of your age

We will always remember our honorary grandmother
With fondness in hearts but regrets never
You have touched our lives and somehow make them richer
We shall treasure that always and forever

May Allah bless you with His most worthy Rahmah
Tok Lebaq, we solemnly bid you goodbye with His words, al-Fatihah
