Flowers

I love photography but I dont have any oppurtunity to learn it formally. During my uni time, I did illegally attend some of the lecture in photography with my friend. There are only two reasons i did it...

1. My friend wants me to understand his field -everything related with art- ( I did... but its hard for him to understand my field -everything related with bio- ...nevermind... cerita basi already )

2. I love photography... with or without him, I still love this field.

Erk... this pic was taken yesterday at my former primary school.. dont ask me anything about the ISO, saturation, focus..bla..bla... I know nothing... hehehe.... Just enjoy the pics ok?

My Friend's Wedding

Aha.. this is some stupid thing happened yesterday. Few couples were married during the school holiday. One of my colleague (N) married 3 years ago but I'm not sure whether they had the reception or just a simple wedding ceremony...

Yesterday morning I walked to another colleague's table and saw the wedding invitation card between N and his hubby J. I can't explain how 'keciknya ati aku' when I saw that card. Why she didn't invite me?

I know its not a good idea to read something that not belong to us but ...ngeh... I opened the card and ...keh keh keh... basi punya invitation.... 28th May 2002...

I told N and we can't stop laughing....
"Sampai hati u didn't invite me N"
"Eh... hello... do I know u during that time? Why are u thinking that I want to do the reception after 3 years of marriage aaaaa?"
"Nolah... lot of our colleagues married ba... may be u feel like want to renew and refresh your marriage..."

kehkehkehkehkehkehkehkehkehkehkehekhekheekekheel.......

Here are some of testimonials written by my friends in my friendster...

"emmm... masa aku kenak grace dolok, she was a congek (manja) girl... selalu kitaorg pujuk nya dolok mun nya merajuk..Tapi sekarang..... she was change!!!" - my matriculation friend...
Em... agree with that... last time i'm quite manja and always merajuk... may be peoples surround me like to pujuk but now, I'm alone..nobody want to pujuk if i'm merajuk.

"She's cute, sweet, friendly, softspoken and easy to get along with... but havent seen her for quite sometimes. Yea, last time was in year 2003, when she did her KPLI in Miri. One thing which keep on making me smile when thinkin of her was, when she clumsily came to me during sunday service at Canada Hill Church and said her car was stolen, stolen at the church premise.. and she started to cry.. I helped her to search for the car, and you know what, she parked somewhere at the back of the church.. not at the place where she use to part everytime. She actually forgot whe she parked the car and she thought i was stolen... heheheh... That was funny.. Cant imagine how "kede" was you that time.. Anyway, it leaves a memory about you which I wont forget for the rest of my life. Cheers!" - my friend from USM now working in KL.

"She's a senior of mine in uni but never once talked to her. just pandang2 jeling2 je since she's friends with my friends like Sula, Jenn, etc. hehehe... Then fate be it, we crossed path in the blogging world and became blog buddies (along with her bro). This dedicated cikgu is one tough (but manja also) lady la. But she's fun to know. *cheers* here to many more years to come blog buddy dear :) hehehe" - Chris... u know herlah...

Take a deep breath...

Few weeks ago, I received an offer letter from xxx. Before that they aslo print out one offer letter and give it by hand. Its mean they gave me two offer letters. They even called to the office to make sure that I'm giving them the correct postal address. Look like they really want me to join them huh????

BUT, this afternoon one of the officer called me, telling me that they gonna have a meeting to discuss about my status... *sigh* I told the officer, I'm really dissapointed with the administration. If they feel that I'm not good enough for that, why they gave me the offer? What kind of offer is that?

Now, I miss the another chance from the other xxx. I was about to apply... *sigh* Sad...sad...sad..

Math Exercise Book

Few months before we went to our long house cemetery. I'd found my dad math's exercise book at my supergreat grandfather grave. Not me actually but my dad found it himself. Then he showed it to us.... Fred and I took some pics of it.... hehehe

According to my dad... our supergreat grandfather always kept all their exercise books and put it under his pillow. So, when he dead, they gave it to him (we called it baya in Iban)... put it all inside his new 'house'.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Hehehe... see.... he can't answer the simple questions...

Now, everytime they (my dad/aunty/uncle) complaining about our bad calculation in Maths, we'll answer like this ... we saw your calculation before.... and giggling. Bad huh?

Hari Raya

My dad's cousin @ my aunty called my mum yesterday. She asked us to visit their house for Raya at Taman Bintang today (Chris... I was at your place this evening). Around 1pm we (mum, lil sis and me) left home. Eh, where is dad and Fred? Dad has to accompany his friend to Rejang Medical Centre... sending his friend's mother inlaw. Fred still in KK... sleeping. Hehehe... Wei Fred... we ngabanglah today... Don't jilis aaa...
There are two ways to reach Bintangor from Sarikei if you plan to drive. One way is using the main road... Borneo Highway while the other way... the shortcut is crossing the Nyelong River. You need to use the ferry which cost you RM1.

School Holiday

Em... school day is over for some school... Now, the students are having their 2 months holiday. Teachers? Em..its hard for them to say its a long holiday as there are some other works to do during this holiday. Some schools especially the boarding school still need the teachers (warden) to take care of the Form 5 students as they still sitting for their SPM.

Here are some feedbacks from the parents when the school holiday is about to start
1. My kids can help me to tap the rubber
2. Ish... they will make me headache
3. I want them to stay at school the whole year.
4. We'll having a vacation...

No 1 & 4... parents are happy when their kids are on holiday. I'm not goin to talk about this no 1 and 4 type of parent but I'm looking forward for this 2 & 3.

Parents.... look in this way. 3-10 kids at home during the holiday is fun. Even the teachers, handling more than 20 kids with 20 different type of attitudes in one class still can enjoying themselves... trust me. If ur kids can make u headache just in a short time.. think back... the teacher?????

Appreciate ur children's teacher.... hehehe... they help u a lot in reducing ur stress. Dont forget to show ur appreciation during the teacher's day as well. Teach ur kids to respect their teacher as teacher teaches ur kids to respect their parents.

Some parents always pointing their fingers to the teachers for any mistake did by their children because they forgot one thing... learning are begin from home. My son failed his Science exam, his teacher can't teach... Wah...sukati jak mulut sebut... How about this questions?

1. Did you buy extra workbook or notebook to your son, sir/madam?
2. Did you check whether they finish their Science homework?
3. Do you know that starting from 2003.. Science are taught in English?

Wanna wish all my teachers a Happy Holiday...
