the Peas were in town recently, ... for this...

well, what can i say.. the Peas hav always been marvellous with their works, no doubt about that.
their new single Meet Me Halfway really hit all the right notes with me then..

the stars align.. .

it's the first day of the 4-days long Raya holidays... :)
friends, colleagues, and Sis too, will be goin' away for some well-deserved breaks all around the country.... eating trip down south to Malacca, hangin' out slow & easy in Ipoh, hill-trips to breezy Cameron, beach retreats at our east coast Terengganu, and even waterfall treks at Sungai Lembing ... :)

yes, these are but a few of the many plans my dear acquantainces will be indulging themselves in these 4 days... in a nutshell, they've pretty much covered all the popular weekend retreats available here in dear ol' Mehsia... we hav the city, the food, the beaches, the islands, the hills (pure hills and also the one with the casino), the jungles, the caves, and if you'd like to flex your passport a little, you culd always, drive north to Hadyai, or down south to Singapore.. :)

i know it's a 'lil over the month August, but i'm being all patriotic here shouting I LUV MALAYSIA~!! hehehh.... awh, come on, dont you??!!? :D


back to september... it's the last day of the fasting month Ramadhan today..
dear dad has been following the practice of fasting since day one of Ramadhan.. .much to the amusement of friends and colleagues (me & sis's) at work.... dad's been doing it since the previous Ramadhan in '08... we feel proud of him for keeping at it for a full month, consistently wakin' up at 4 in the morning, and not breaking fast until at least 7.30 in the evening. he even forgo his daily and weekly rides and jogs, cuz really... im sure no one wuld be able to cope. 'stead, he does his cycling at about 9 in the evening... there was one evening when me, mom and sis were strolling home after bakuteh dinner nearby, and saw him wheeling his ride out... we were kinda boggled. like, "where's he goin at this hour???"

the most in-the-face one actually happened this morning.
was still starin' at the telly way 'early' after late night at starbucks ended... and dad came out from the room at exactly 4 in the morning. i asked what was he doing up so early? and he told me as a matter of factly: "Sahur marh~!"
=S

so i made way for him to do his daily stretches in the living room... for the record, he does perfect 180deg folds, stretching his arms upwards then bending all the way down, forehead to kneecaps. `salute! to dad!

and right before i slipped off to bed, i managed to see what he made for his Sahur meal:

.. seriously, it was something verri close to this.

happy Eid ul-Fitr everyone~~~

luved enid~!

i dont know about others, but when i was way back still a kid, i used to luv her so much.

i culd seriously name her as my first literature hero(ine) since the days i started understanding entire paragraphs. yeah, back then they were filled with fat-ugly-goblins, black-as-soot-golliwogs, mischievous-pixies, and magic-talking-toads... :)

and this, is the collection which i still keep on my desk until today.. . it is still, such a darlin' to store into boxes~!!
well, the boss isnt in today, so i was snoopin' around the world wide web.. googling and wikiing down to the very last bit of my curiosity... and i found this.. .

The Faraway Tree is a series of popular novels for children by British author Enid Blyton. The titles in the series are:
`The Enchanted Wood (1939)
`The Magic Faraway Tree (1943)
`The Folk of the Faraway Tree (1946)

In modern reprints, the names of the children have been changed:
* Jo is changed to Joe, because the character is a boy and this is the more commonly used spelling of the name for males;
* Bessie is changed to Beth, because the former name is seldom used as a
nickname for Elizabeth;
* (now dig this..) Fanny is changed to Frannie, because the former name is
slang for 'vulva' in the United Kingdom, and "bottom" in the USA.
* (and this too..) Cousin Dick, who appears in "The Magic Faraway Tree", has been changed to "Rick" as "Dick" is American and British slang for penis.


awh~... i know she's good but .. didnt know dame enid was such an advanced wordsmith... Just who wuld've thot that simple, angelic names wuld one day be associated with such important parts of the human anatomy... hoohoo~!!
