Sehr Taurig und ein gut Mann

Ich fühle mich jämmerlich, aber ich bin bereit zu warten. Wir werden noch einmal versuchen. Es ist gut, geduldig zu sein. Ich werde zukünftig sehr geduldig sein.  Weil Allah geduldige Leute mag…Verzeihen Sie mir bitte.

Adubakat and other scary things

I must say I enjoyed Talentime by Yasmin Ahmad tremendously. I felt it was nicer than Sepet. I didn’t like Gubra and Muhsin at all and I have not watched Muallaf. 
Picture taken from here
I like the way the racial stereotypes were presented, questioned and yet also in a way ‘resolved’. The most moving scene personally [...]

Post

I kinda like the idea that she won. Maybe that would also start a new fashion line for tudungs. There are tudungs Siti, tudung Ekin. But tudung jambul shah/i/zat has yet to materialise as the ‘in’ fashion statement.
But him winning brings about a lot of mix sentiments. The plot thickens. But maybe he won’t be [...]

Big Boss, Little Boss

It was a disturbing incident alright. There we were, the four of us sitting in the small cafe outside the library. Myself and 3 of my students ages 8, 10 and 11. Two of them are special needs kids– one with the official govt OKU ( orang kurang upaya ) card, let’s call him A. He [...]

Kemaruk

Still on this polyvore thing..
For a weekend outdoors. I like fuss free outdoorsy style because I prefer the outdoors and prefer casual than being dressy. Hence the look. Oh I can dream about a baby pink blackberry can I ?

Beautiful wedding and funny accents

If I am supposed to think in a certain way, sure–big weddings are extravagance and yeah, maybe wasteful but really, I love big weddings. I had big themed wedding myself and I loved the details, the celebration and the joy of having so many people together at one time.
So yesterday we were at N’s wedding. [...]

If I were still in school…

Just getting the hang of this polyvore thingy. It is quite fun actually. And it is free and doesn’t clutter the home with fashion magazines. Not that I buy fashion magazines to begin with. Let’s see, if I weren’t a hijabi, I would probably wear this on a long Monday in campus. The colours to [...]

When food defines us

It is raining outside and I just did my laundry. It is almost midnight and upon the realisation that I have not washed my aikido uniform from the last training session, panic sets in because the next training is later today–if I publish this entry before midnight on my time. And it will be a [...]

About water, bills and other stuffs

I have been monitoring our water bills since last year. So far I have collected about 14 water bills which comes at the end of the month. Bearing in mind that on weekdays, we have up to 11 or so  kids coming to the house for homeschooling/tuition, we water the garden sometimes twice a day, [...]

Of which I know not what to say

…but actually I do. But I am not sure that it will go down with them. That I am not living in accordance to their standards. That I make choices in accordance to what both of us envisioned for our future and more importantly, our present. That we do not care what others have or [...]
