Sugar and spice

… and all things nice. Indeed.
Watched 2 French Films in two consecutive days. Undaunted by the first one which we didn’t enjoy, I went to two more on my own as the husband decided he has better things to do. Last night was Love Is In The Air, a hilarious romantic comedy about a French [...]

Morning mail

5.20 am. I just had my sahur, as I planned to pay back the days I missed fasting from last year’s Ramadan. The soft and soothing recitation of the Quranic verses forms my background music as I am typing this, coming from the nearby mosque. Very soon, I will hear the azan for subuh being [...]

Flowers and mothers

In training still…
This clump of flowers is smaller than my thumb but I guess this is the best I could go with my camera.

The husband said for this one below I need to improve on the angle and the lighting, whatever that is.. :S

A flower within flower. Also very tiny .

Oh by the way, Mum, [...]

Sur mes lèvres am meine Samstag

‘ So you gonna blog about it? ‘ asked the husband.
I missed my German class this morning by choice. The husband woke up with high fever and bad flu which he had since last night. So I thought I’d just give the class a miss and stay home with him. After all, today is mock [...]

Makcik-makcik Koporat

Saved by my old name card, we managed to gain entrance to today’s session of MIHAS which was still meant for businesses and traders. It would only be opened to the public tomorrow and Sunday but we whacked it, as I am always busy on weekend. So there we were, myself and L.H spending half [...]

A shack in Kampung Bharu

‘… I feel like having Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa @ Kampung Bharu. Want to come ? ‘ So said the sms from BroN. BroN is in town to attend the MIHAS trade fair, and as usual, he needed his fix of non-sterile eating places which have since extincted from our hometown.
BroN and I went back a [...]

In liberal doses

Many thoughts are going through in my mind that need to be consolidated. I have not been having good sleep for the past 4 days post fever and I am not quite sure why. I have been falling asleep at around 3 almost daily and have been having really tired days.
Today, after belly dancing class, [...]

Pak Sifu Bersuara Lagi

Watching news these days, especially on local politics is like watching sinetron. You know, the Indonesian tele-dramas which go on and on. Or, maybe even Dallas Dynasty.
Last night on TV 3 news, we watched Karpal Singh displayed his sinetron prowess in parliament. Can real work begin with all these drama ? I wonder.
I was listening [...]

Joie de Vivre

The year started with the German Film Festival and sometime later, the Iranian Film Festival.
This week will see the coming of French Film Festival and my diary has been carefully marked. Back in my hometown I used to have to travel from the east side of the island to the central to Alliance Francaise to [...]

The dining table conversation

Husband: Do you think one day there will be a Malaysia?
Me: I think so. There will still be a Malaysia, but whose Malaysia and what kind of Malaysia.
Munch. munch. munch.
Friend ( 47 year old American from Chicago ) : Where will the Malays go then ?
Me : huh ?
Friend : Well, let’s just say to [...]
