Should You Be At My Place

Rhyme of an old stump
“There is pain in my heart and never seems to part
I hide the pain inside, for so long it has to hide
I wish someone could hug me and caress me
But yet nobody cares about me”

 

I pass that road 365 days a year just to see you still standing there. Is there no one else ever noticed you.  Some-one who could drag you out from there and dump you some where out of everybody’s sight.  Coz’ you are nothing but an eye-sore. But dear, dear old stump, should you be at my place, my home, I sure know what to do with you.

First, I have you painted, and then I’ll arrange some boulders surround your base and plant some flowers there to make you look gloomy.   Next, I’ll uproot the goose grass on top of you and plant a flower there.

                                              

So, this will be your new look, and no one will ever notice you are just an old stump.

               

Before painting looks better than after painting, which proved that I am not a good painter.

Beautiful Sunday

I have decided to stay home this Sunday and had my shopping done yesterday; fuel and groceries for one week requirement. It was already 7.30 a.m. when I woke up. Sunrays had peeped through my window and caused the room to feel warm, that I have to immediately flap-open the window panes for some breeze.

Out through the window, something caught my eye.   My Dahlia Plant bloomed…

 

 I took this photo right from the window pane

The whether was fine and I decided to take my ‘Money Plant’ out for sun-bathing, coz’ it has been too long in the room without sunlight. I used to put it outside the verandah until I noticed someone had dug-out part of the plant. Not just once but a few times and this is what left. I feel like someone had stolen my money. lol…

 

What else… Some-one sent me a load of top soil couples of weeks ago which urged me to have my flower pots top-up.

 

The rest of the day I spent on watching TV, hoping for Stacy AF6 to appear on screen; anxious to know how she looks.   But how much I wished I have the facilities to go to my web blog … again I have to wait till Monday comes.

American Idol – Season 7

I was watching my favorite TV show just now, the American Idol.  The first show I watched was season 4, the year I subscribe to Astro.

I have predicted Carrie Underwood – season 4, Katharine McPhee – season 5 and Jordin Sparks – season 6 to become the American Idol.  My prediction almost came to reality if not for Katharine who ran 2nd after Taylor Hicks who got the highest votes. Taylor has never been my idol.

This Season 7, all the guys are very good… Brilliant, said Simon. They are Micheal Johns, David Archueleta, David Cook, David Hernandez, Jason Castro and Chikezie. I love Michael and David Cook, the rest are not in my list.

My fav for this season is Brooke White who just sang ‘Let It Be’.  I cried along with her just now; I don’t now why she cried and I’m not sure why I cried too. I love to see her perform.

Could Brooke become the idol…? Still early to say. It could be Carly Smithson whom Randy said is the best vocalist for this season or maybe Syesha Mercado, who knows.

My only hope is for Brooke and Micheal or David Cook to end up in the finale.

Let America vote for their Idol… Me, just watch & hope

A Good Citizen

 “I’m back after a long run (me having drastic running nose).  I didn’t felt like doing anything but slept, slept, slept.   I couldn’t get this published on time and wouldn’t like it to waste either… Lapuk dah!!!”

Of all the days, why now…
It was raining last night which make the road condition here very bad; slippery and potholes here and there and yet I have to drive 29 km in this condition to the poling station.

My… it was too crowded and really a busy day for everyone, the voters. I spent more than two hours standing there before I got my turn to cast my vote. My legs were aching, what more I had to drive back on the same road again. It was really tiring but as a Malaysian citizen I have to fulfill my responsibility.

How much I missed some-one I truly love at a time like this. I had to be home for him.

MY OGAWA FOOT & LEG MASSAGER… that’s him.

  

 I‘m glad I bought thee 

  

What happened when my two lovers met

M and N come side by side in alphabet.
That’s what my two lovers’ name begins with.
I met M four years ago and N a year ago.
M is my pride and joy while N is my heart and soul.

But, what happened when they met last December.

“You are not as good as what she thinks you are”, M said to N.
“So do you. You failed to satisfy her”, snapped N to M.

Blame no one, actually my 4 yrs old grand-daughter, Mimie was toying my N73 cell phone.  She had had the camera on and was clicking here and there.  She had experienced something new and this is what happened.

                   

            

                                                                                   

It has nothing to do with the cell phone.  My Nokia N73 does wonder to all the pictures I’ve taken, as a non-expertise.  It’s a great help to me especially with my blog.  It is so handy and I consider it as 3 in 1 stuff, radio camera and phone all in one but of course it’s more than that.

Granny went to a Toy Shop

Mister Ritz’ Birthday

This is what my shopping was about, buying a present for Ritz’ 1st birthday. There were so many there and I couldn’t decide at first what to get for him. The taukeh being patient enough showed me one after another and finally there was one.   A ROBOT,  so I thought it was. I bought it for RM120 after discount.

                               

Not recommended for children below 5 years.

Nevermind, I can still keep it until Ritz is big enough to play with it.

Later that day, I showed it to my brother’s siblings. “Transformer, wahh cantiknya!!”, they said echoing one another. So, a “TRANSFORMER” it is, I came to know.

                 

        A Transformer???

Of course.. I miss out that movie.

Nah!! Ritz, your daddy, the superhero engineer has transformed it to something more convenient for you to play with, a ‘CAR’.

           

 

My Birthday

It was 12 January 2008, my sister and her 2 daughter came bringing a small birthday cake.  Oh! It was my birthday.   With them were my niece and nephew, my twin brother’s siblings. Of course it was my twin brother’s birthday too, but it wasn’t my fault if his children preferred to celebrate mine. Heee.  Just a quiet dinner for 6… oops!!  7, my mum is staying with me.

                                               

Guess how old am I                            ’Be-Bek’ from my sis

The next day was Sunday, an off-day, so I went to town with my sis and her family. “A School Children Shopping”, as usual when school re-opened after a long break.  That’s what my sis did for her daughters.  While she did her core, I did mine.  I bought myself a belated birthday gifts; some clothes with head-scarves to match, some books for my reading and an RM39.90 Ceramic Cat for my house. CUTE ehh!

 

 Money Cat 

“Lucky object and must be placed facing the door to attract money,” said Lillian Too the Feng Shui Master.   Looks like a sleepy cat to me, but it’s cute and I love the color most.   I placed it exactly where Lillian said, facing the main door.   Who knows, lots and lots of money fall from heaven (hehehe).   Nope, I ain’t Chinese but I still like to have it as a décor.

This was not about all, my shopping did not end here.  I needed to purchase something else.   Wait, I need a break….. see u next episode…

Kura-Kura dan Monyet (Malay Version)

Pada dahulu kala, ada seekor monyet yang berkawan baik dengan seekor kura-kura . Mereka sangat menyayangi antara satu sama lain, walau ke mana saja, mereka akan pergi berdua dan apa saja yang mereka perolehi akan dikongsikan bersama. “Kita tidak akan mengabaikan sesama sendiri selagi ada hayat.” Begitulah janji mereka.

Satu hari semasa mereka sedang berjalan di tebing sungai untuk mencari makanan, mereka terlihat sebatang anak pokok pisang terapung-apung berhampiran dengan tebing sungai tersebut. Mereka terfikir sekiranya mereka dapat menanam pokok pisang sendiri, mereka tak perlu lagi merayau-rayau untuk mendapatkan makanan. Maka mereka pun mengambil keputusan untuk menanam pokok pisang tersebut. Hari berganti hari pokok pisang yang mereka tanam semakin membesar dan akhirnya menghasilkan buah. Begitu seronoknya mereka sambil menunggu buah pisang itu masak. Tiba masa yang di tunggu, akhirnya buah pisang itu masak.

Bersama-sama mereka pergi untuk mengambil buah pisang tersebut. Sementara si monyet memanjat pokok pisang, si kura-kura menunggu di bawah. Satu demi satu si monyet memakan pisang-pisang itu dan menjatuhkan kulit-kulitnya kepada si kura-kura. Bila si kura-kura menyedarinya, dia pun berkata kepada si monyet, “Berikan juga pada ku isinya, aku pun teringin nak merasakannya.” Namun si monyet yang telah menjadi tamak tidak menghiraukannya. Si kura-kura terasa tertipu, dengan perasaan kecewa dia berlalu pergi meninggalkan si monyet dan selepas itu mereka tidak lagi kelihatan bersama.

My little niece, Ony who never get bored even if I have to repeat the same story 100 times

Monkey and The Tortoise

Why I bought the Monkey and Tortoise Carnelian…

Actually they reminds me of a story my mother told me when I was a child.  She said…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once upon a time there lived a monkey and a tortoise.  They loved each other so dearly that where ever they went, it would be together and what ever one gets they’d share it together.  “We will never desert one another, not as long as we live.”  That was what they promised to each other. One day as they were roaming around in searched for food nearby a river, they saw a young banana plant floating just beside the river-bed.  They thought if they could have their own banana plant they wouldn’t have to go out looking for food anymore.  So they decided to plant it together.

The banana plant grew bigger and bigger each day until finally it started to bear fruits.  They were very excited as they waited for the fruits to ripe.  At last the banana fruit ripen. And together they went for the banana.  While the monkey climbed for the banana the tortoise waited down.  The monkey ate the flesh and threw down the skin to the tortoise, one after another, again and again.  The tortoise said to the monkey, “Let me have the flesh as well, I wanted to taste it as much as you do.”  But the monkey has become greedy that he ignored the tortoise.  The tortoise felt cheated, frustrated he walked away from the monkey and never ever be seen together again.

~The End~

The above tale is dedicated to my grand-children, Mimie & Ritz (superzam’s children)

Little About Me

HELLO WORLD! I am a mother who loves to collect crystals and semi precious gemstones. My instinct admiration towards the beautiful creation of the Almighty begins as young as I could remember. I liked picking up some pebbles, sea shells and even fallen cones from fruits of some big trees admiring its natural beautiful design and had selected a few nicer one to bring to my collections. But that was long time ago when Crystal or should I say semi precious stone shop was not found in town. And even if there was, I surely could not afford as I was very young then. Today I don’t keep pebbles, shells and cones anymore. They were long gone together with my childhood.
