enjoy.

syazana was telling nasrin to read out
the tablet's serial number to fix its wireless.



as the sunshine rattled off a few numbers and letters,
she suddenly went,
"kakak, then you draw the tic-tac-toe."


syazana's face broke into that one of
pure bafflement.

after a few unsuccessful shots at explaining to her clueless sister,
the sunshine grabbed a pen and illustrated it.







she drew -

a hash sign.

her innocence is
so adorable right.

" .. tucked in a corner of hyatt hotel, straits kitchen is a singapore-inspired restaurant presenting the best of local cuisine in a contemporary 'market place' setting. indulge in an endless parade of local flavours from the halal-certified chinese, malay and indian theatre-kitchens .. "

dinner at hyatt hotel on friday night was
nothing short of a stuffed, bloated stomach.
my stomach actually ballooned to one of a third month pregnancy.
the tab came up to more than $200.





still,
i prefer carousel.

i have an entire 281 pages to complete
for tomorrow morning's book facilitation.

mail mau kawin by muhammad ariff ahmad.





i borrowed the book from woodlands regional library
way back in 2007.

i think the only reason i succumbed to borrowing,
sitting down for a few days and reading it
was because of the plain white-washed book cover,
with a picture of two platinum wedding bands.






and two years later
i dont remember a thing -
except for the main character's name.





throw me a seven hundred paged book by J.K.Rowling
and i'll lap up the pages with greed,
anytime.

and i will still remember,
even the smallest of details,
four years later.







so i have to guiltily admit that
i have decided not to read the novel this time,
and have it googled instead.

and i came across this:
http://pitchaystp.blogspot.com/2008/03/pengajian-e-sastera-tahun-2.html







and i ask myself,
what have i got myself into?

i had no idea
there could be a possibility of
having so many things going wrong
and a new entire whole load on my mind.





i think i worry too much.
how can i not?

i stay in love with you.

im gonna miss you.

you showed me
when i was young just how to grow
you showed me everything that i should know
you showed me just how to walk without your hands
cause, mum, you always were the perfect fan.

i love you, ibu.

footnote: pictures later, when blogger is less cranky.

"many beginners make the mistake of pressing the shutter release button down all the way, without first doing it halfway. as a result, the camera does not get a chance to do its auto-focus job and the subject turns out blurred."

for some cameras, pressing the shutter button down fully without giving the auto-focus a chance to work can result in a blurred subject, even when its at the centre. let the camera focus on the main subject first and hold the shutter button down at the halfway point. press the shutter down fully when the main subject is positioned about one-third into the photo.
