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 [...]

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 [...]

Meine Samstag

They’ve finally opened near our place. It was full to the brim. The novelty of eating in a Forest Gump themed cafe is still going strong so we gave it a pass. We live 5 minutes drive from it so we have plenty of time to try it out. And yes, it will be one [...]

Relenting, finally.

I finally relented to reading The Kite Runner. After watching the movie, I thought I could give it a pass, but as I said, I relented.
For two days I felt I was weighed down with Amir agha’s ‘merengek’. Hmm, that was the word I was looking for. ‘Merengek‘. Maybe it’s just me. I have very [...]

Fashion Statement

The 19th Century French writer Marie-Henri Beyle, or better known as his pen name Stendhal wrote,
“Only great minds can afford a simple style”.
I was reading about him earlier on today and remembered some photographs I took from the recent Miri trip. These photographs were taken from the archaeological museum, about 1.5 hours walk away from [...]

Under the Rain Tree

I was about 10 minutes late for my class this morning. My Lehrerin, Frau L does not take it well to people being late. She blasted us many times before that Germans value punctuality and if you cannot keep to the timing, you have already ’spoiled’ your image to the Germans. Oh well, sometimes or [...]

Asam Garam

Milo did the wee-wee on my pile of clothes this morning. I spanked her and flicked her ears, scolded her and threw her out of the front door and locked it. Her brother looked pained as he watched his sister punished. He tried to get to her through the grills but he was scolded too. [...]
