The Pangs

THE PANGS...Now in this Blog near you!


It was a bumpy ride. I opened my eyes only to find myself behind a truck that was speeding dangerously. I could see the shadows of two ladies kneeling on the floor opposite me, shivering and frigthen. As I peered through the wooden planks that stood between the running skylights and us, I could see that it was raining outside. It was almost pitch dark expect for the lights that glimmered in a distance and reflected itself on the sea. The silloutte of the ladies caught my eyes. They were pregnant! I peered down at my own body...I was pregnant too!

I could see a figure running beside our moving truck. It was MY DARLING! Lengkap in his superhero costume...i had the impression he was Zorro. Hehehe. And so, 1 by 1, he began pulling out the pregnant woman while trying hard not to fall into the sea beside him. 1 down, 2 to go. 2 down, me to go!

But but but...he was running out of time! If he didn't get me out in time he would crash into the bridge. He reached out for me...just a little bit more...almost...splash...he fell into sea, and I, was left trying to see if he was alright.

I blacked out.

When I opened my eyes, the truck had already stopped. 2men shoved me out of the truck and I tumbled to the ground. As I struggled to get myself very pregnant self up again, I noticed that I was dumped in front of "Freescale". However, Freescale looked more like a hotel than an office. The "freescale" words were made out of silver metal, shining in its majesty, and it was placed on a stone wall right outside the steps leading up to its grand entrance.

I had to get inside, I told myself. I somehow knew I would find Jason inside. Just then, the baby kicked. Cramp. Pain. Oh no! I think the baby's coming! I waddled in, hunched, scouting for Jason.

I found him. He was reading books in the library. Calling out to him, I hurried over, nearer to him. He was, however, distracted with the book he was reading, so he inched closer to me, STILL, reading the book.

Push.Breathe. Push. Breathe. Jason was helping me deliver baby no 1 with one hand, STILL, reading his book with the other hand. Before we knew it, baby no2 was coming out. TWINS! He was STILL reading his book. Multitasking! Haha.

Woke up.

Pets of the Past

Introducing my pets ( who are no longer around)...

Meet "Yesterday".



Haha! That is how he sleeps. :)
You might be wondering why we called him "Yesterday",
The story goes like this:
My brother would always tell us each day how he saw an orange cat yesterday. So when the orange cat finally decided to stay with us, we called him "Yesterday".



Superman!


Anyway,
This is Tomorrow.


He sleeps almost EVERYWHERE and ANYWHERE!

Especially in Baskets...





AND of course...he lets us bully him. :P

Cat Bao.
Egyptian Cat.
We even trained him to climb like a monkey! :)
This is "Today". ( the names kind of keep on going...) We name every cat that passes or visits us names like "one day", "some day". :P
And we had other pets like tortoises
This is "Grass" and "Woof".
P.S I don't know who is who.



This is how they play with each other...Peeeeeekabooo!



All of them are not with us anymore. Yesterday went away ( maybe to die); Today was given to my Aunt who keeps cats but eventually was put to sleep because she was sick; Tomorrow was also given to my Aunt and he became the "King of the house"( Also died cause he got sick); Grass and Woof was donated to Titiwangsa Lake before we moved.

Nature at its Extremes


In the Morning, the sky looked so beautiful that I just had to take a picture!


In the evening, it was beautiful too!




Little did I know, there was a BIG STORM that night.
So BIG that my window slammed open and the doors trembled.
The wind howled and the curtains flew high the whole night.
The air that came through the small gap in the windows blew in the stand fan's direction,
and in return produced "air-con".
Ah, the wonders of nature-
In one day, I witnessed nature at its extremes.

And My Sister Did it Again!

Talk about laziness!
Talk about those simplified-one-step-does-it -all thingamagits!
Take a look at this!



My sister bought it in the Pasar Malam.
Know what it is?
Well, the shape gives you a hint. :)
It's an apple cutter.
And this is how it works in just 1 step!
But I'll go slow motion for better viewing.


The apple.

The placement.

The pressing.


The Product.

Ta Da!
Apples- ready-to-eat, no sweat!
I tell you, only my sister comes back with these kind of things. LOL

Guitar Maniac!

Tell me: Who in the world would buy 1 guitar, 3 guitar bags, 4 picks and 2 pick holders, all in one go, and carrying them all over Pasar Seni?!

The Guitar Maniacs of course! ( Jeremy, Grace, Ruth and my mom)
Even the shop owner thought we were crazy.

You see, we were suppose to pay our Saman ticket in Pasar Seni and someone also wanted to buy a guitar for his brother. AND, my mom knows the owner of the guitar shop, so can get discount banyak-banyak!

So off we went. We found the guitar and bought a bag with it. Then a nice thick padding guitar case caught my eye so I got it. Then I remembered that my darling wanted one too. We were actually on our way else where before turning back to the guitar shop the second time to get one for my darling. I heard the owner telling his friend in cantonese:" Wah yao mo gao cou oh...mai gam toh..." Malunya!

Anyway, the other accessories were mainly free. We only had to pay for 1 pick holder and 2 picks. So it was like a buy 1 free 1, and a buy 2 free 2 thingy. SWEET!

Then we had beef noodles. I tell you everyone was looking at us cause the guitar and the 2 other guitar cases had their own seats at the table. They were probably thinking we were somekind of musical family or something.




Look closer! I just realized that my mom and I have that same "guilty-look" smile. So that's where I got it from. :P
