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 [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
..ill. There are so many people I know who have been down and out for some illness or the other. Fever, flu and anything else.
A friend called yesterday. Her son’s birthday doa selamat event is today and she is unwell. So I offered to cook for the event. That was yesterday afternoon. I thought, my [...]
We were watching the Parliamentary telecast on the midnight news. Ruckus was not quite apt to describe it. Circus more like it. Did Malaysia vote a group of leaders who knows not the meaning of decorum, ethics, manners, emotional management and dignity ?
They were calling yelling each other degrading names [...]
This morning over hot roti pisang drenched in Kari Ikan and Sambal at the mamak shop where we frequent, I read that Jamal Mirdad is entering politics.

I grew up with a very staple diet of Indonesian entertainment, from Hetty Koes Endang to Titiek Sandhora&Muchsin, Endang [...]
I really, really shouldn’t be blogging now because I have an editing deadline to meet by 4pm later. But my mind cannot focus on work and the harder I try, the harder it becomes.
We went to watch The Kite Runner just now. The book, which the film is based upon has been sitting quietly in [...]
The best thing about being wronged is that HE knows you are not.
Good luck. Really… You’ll hear from HIM soon enough.
He is Al-Aziz, and that quality is mighty powerful, if you have not already known that.
Each time I hear Mother is coming for a visit, my insides churn faster than a tornado. And that’s my mother I am talking about and not even his mother.
I would be on auto-mode. Every cleaning chemical that promises a spic and span finishing will make their way into our home. The vacuum cleaner will [...]
When the kittens were given to us, we were told that they are twin sisters. But, a few days ago, we discovered that Milo is still a girl, while Seuss is a boy actually.
And they are teething. Hence they bite everything and anything along their way. Our toes included. Milo is beginning to grow little [...]
