i LOVE my life

ME and mum are suffering from remote-control syndrome.

We love tv.

When there was one remote.

I hog the remote when my show is airing but i love changing channels during commercials.

MUM: stop changing channels, its giving me a headache.

SARAH: Advertisment lah

MUM: Give me the remote

SARAH: why, when start ill change back

MUM: Give me the remote now before i smack you

SARAH: Give me a good reason why.

MUM: I feel like holding it for a while.

SARAH: right.....................

Serious remote control syndrome. Needs serious treatment soon.

We use our remote so much and we drop it equally as much. So its kinda hard changing channels, the number 5 and 1 is totally not working.

So we got another remote, now there are TWO remotes.

SARAH: (changes channel during mum's show is on)

MUM: What do you think you're doing? (change back to her show)

SARAH: You're show is freaking boring lah. (change to another channel)

MUM: You dont try to be funny with me ah! (really angry tone)

SARAH: FINE! ( chucks another remote on my mum) Now you can use these two remotes all you want

MUM: I dont need two remotes, put the other one on the table!

SARAH: You love remotes so much right, have two of them. (belts out an evil laughter and walks away)

I love tom yam currently.

I made Tom yam noodles on Sunday.

I made Tom Yam fried rice on Monday.

I made Tom Yam noodles again on Tuesday.

Mum loves my Tom Yam noodles and had it on Tuesday too.

Dad had plain soup noodles.

HAHA

Small silly things that happens daily makes my life much more worth living,

and it explains that although im not living a high-flying life,

i am enjoying every moment of it,

and that's what matters.

Birthday boom

Dear blog,

Sorry for not writing to you for so long. You must have missed me, but I am sorry to say that I didn’t miss you as much as you would have. Mr. Phone line has been strucked by lightning for a week and passed away. But miracles happen, somebody from Telekom saved his life and now he is very alive again with his ‘tuuut’ heart beat.

May for me is birthday month. And somehow everyone I know born in the month of may are very close to me. And also they are all closely joined together in the calender, and that makes me super poor in the month of May.
22nd may- best friend who moved to Australia, crystle
23 may- mummy dearest
24 may- second brother
25 may-one daybreak
26 may- best friend Kiran.
Please, I don’t want anymore-close people to be born in the month of May.

American idol has ended. And Sparks won. Yeah, I like her better than Blake, although Blake’s beat boxing is cool, but when there’s too much of it, it becomes boring with a capital B. He should join a beat-boxing contest. But his rendition of you give love a bad name was pretty cool.

My mum is so cute.
Semi-finals result, Melinda Doolitle goes home.
Mum-“NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, what’s wrong with America, they are so racist, she is a heck of a singer but they don’t want to vote for her cause she’s black”
Sarah- Nolah, if Americans are racist they wouldn’t have voted for Ruben and Fantasia.
Mum- now no fun already watch American idol.
Sarah- Okay don’t watch then.

24th, America idol finals and mum’s birthday
Sarah- Lets go for dinner and celebrate your birthday?
Mummy- No need lah, I want to watch American idol.
Sarah- -_-
Mummy- I learnt a new word from American idol, beat boxing
Sarah- (thumbs up)

25th, results day
Mum- I wonder who will win, I am sure Jordin Sparks will, it was a clear cut.
Dad- No lah, I heard over the radio. The guy won.
Sarah and mum- What! Blake won. Yuck!
Mum- why you tell us, now no suspense already
Sarah- Yeah, what la you mouth so big.
Dad- What’s the guys name again?
Sarah- Blake Lewis
Dad- No that doesn’t sound like it, what’s the girls name then?
Sarah- Jordin sparks?
Dad- Yeah that one, I thought guy, I heard over the radio Jordan. Apa nama perempuan Jordin.
Sarah- -_-
Mum- what lah you tell us now no fun already.
Sarah- Double -_-
(Dad clearly isn’t a American idol follower)

No more idol fever, No more going crazy over Sanjaya, No more dispute among Simon and Ryan Seacrest. Now whats to watch on Wednesdays and Thursdays, hmmmmm...

I’ll keep my memories in a capsule and bury them deep in my heart.

Wow, I am amazed that I have gone through so much yesterday and I still survived. And for the first time in many years, my heart pumped so fast that I somehow can’t describe them in words. Oh maybe I can, it’s like when u flush, everything just goes down in a wee-second, that sort of sinking feeling.

And I paid the price for not being honest. I didn’t tell my parents the whole story about my accident. The car, which looked superficially okay, was not so okay inside. They were furious, and now I’m grounded from using the car for I don’t know how long, probably till I get my own car. But I seriously didn’t know the car was damaged inside. If I knew I would tell the whole story. Yeah, I know I was supposed to be honest in the first place. So I created my own problems. :-(

The barbeque farewell party turned out well. I was glad to see my ex-classmates again. A few of us, including me chose an alternative route, to not do form-6 and leave Kluang. I am going to miss being in the same class with all of you. It’s like leaving my comfort zone and starting all over again. I hope I’ll survive; i know all of us will, all we need is time. So good luck guys, and always stay in touch!

That's Pei Ling and me. She is leaving for Matriculation in Tangkak, all the best girlfriend!

That's a group of my ex-classmates. The cute girl on the right is Jeanette, she hosted the party, Thanks so much for your place and time! And Alice, on the far right is a Jpa scholar, she deserves it and i know she will turn out as someone great one day, i have a feeling many of my friends will..I am one lucky person to be in the same batch of multi-talented friends!

Having friends are a great part of life :-) , Love sarah

Crash, boom, bang.

Mr. Sun has been in a bad mood these few days, and he is venting his anger on us. It's so HOT HOT HOT!

Global warming is taking its effect. Countries, which were once hot, are now even hotter; temperatures are rising and decreasing to the extremes. What to do, what to do?

I drove for the first time by myself yesterday. Something was bound to happen right? But no, everything went smoothly until, yes until I reached my house. My parents were out, so I had to open to gate myself (no auto gate). While opening, I turned and realized that my car was moving. What on earth, no my eyes wasn’t playing tricks on me…. my car was moving forward slowly and silly me tried to stopped it with my physically weak body, well that was my instant reflex. It banged the dustbin, the side pavement and went right into the drain.

Just kidding. It stopped finally. So I quickly ran in and pressed on the brakes, shift my gear to Reverse, reversed, then shifted my gear to Park,and pulled the handbrake. Ran out to check on the car, ran back in and parked the car in my house porch. My neighbour and her two kids was there too watch the drama, I said "shhhh!" and she got it and she put her finger on her mouth. hahaha. I love my neighbour, she's not one of the KPC gang.

After all the anxiety I went through, I was sweating like crazy. I went to shower to cool down. My parents came back and I told them of course, but I skipped some parts here and there. My dad said we learn from experience, but my mum said by the time she learns from all the experiences, she and the car wont be in one piece anymore.

Mum said: I came back and checked on the car, it was okay. Oh rupa-rupanya yang tak okay kat dalam rumah.

Yeah , the car was okay, just a little scratch ( not noticeable unless you yourself know where), I was the injured one. While trying to stop the car with all the strength I had, the car pushed me against the side concrete aisle. And the result of that is , Tadaa!

Ihave a zebra looking leg, just with red and brown stripes. And it's really painful during showering time. But at least i got hurt and not the car, i rather it be that way. :-) Awesome experience.

MORAL OF THE STORY: When u stop your auto-car, dont forget to change to P and pull your handbrakes.

Dead or alive? Peek-a-boo!

My cat didn’t get grounded instead he got punished for coming back late.
I punished him by putting a pink hair band around his face and made him look as if he was going to do a Broadway performance.
Naturally, he hated it, so after i took the band off, it was pay back time for him.

Although Mushroom is really naughty at times, he is ehem, real smart too. Since he is getting older, I thought me being his mum and all that should teach him some surviving skills.I taught him to play dead just in case some other big dog or bear attacks him, and he is a pretty fast learner I must say

At first he wasn't really good at it, and he didnt understand what playing dead really means. SO i explained to him that when you play dead, you have to close your eyes....

Now that's a better one.

And soon enough, he mastered the skill and was able to play dead in several positions. Way to go mushroom!

Seven

Seven

What do you think of when it comes to the number seven?

The seven deadly sins?

The Chinese says that the spirit of the dead returns on the seventh day?

So is the number seven really that bad? To me it is,

Cause the period cycle lasts for seven days. I have seven really annoying, inconvenient, bloody days in my calendar every month,
Unless of course, if I get pregnant, or menopause. Which really isn’t the right thing to happen now.

And I need to take iron tablets for seven days. I don’t like cause its so yucky, but I have too cause I am anemic. ROAR!!!!

Ironically it’s a great thing at the same time. Without menstruating and the whole process that takes place in a women’s ovum, which we learn in biology, many beautiful things in life will not be able to happen. One of the most special is of course the process of producing life itself. Men will never be able to experience what women can. It’s because of the pain my mother went through that I came into this world.

Mother’s day is coming. The LEAST you can do is to appreciate her for giving you a WHOLE LIFE, once a year. And I still do hate periods.

I have to go look for my cat now; he has eloped with his black girlfriend. Mushroom, you are grounded!

No More Miss.Nice Girl.

Damn it,

I was craving so badly for dark bitter sweet chocolate(yi lians fault),
Begged my cousin to drive me to tesco to purchase it on Labour Day,
Had to be in the midst of so many people despite having fever and flu,
Finally survived the long queue, and stares from people due to an accident at the counter (my cousin dropped the price display thing and the computed became so lag)
And yippee, i purchased my Lindt bittersweet swiss chocolate!
Headed back to Kluang.

Reached Kluang.
"MUM where did u put my chocolate bar"
"I dont know, its in the fridge in Malacca i think"
