the day i knew there's national coffee day...

its all thanks to social media these days news spread-out in no seconds at all... if not how did i find-out its 'national coffee day' today!

i tweet/posted on fb the other morning asking about the truth of bombing news in subang(?) i read via my twitter. an uncle responded in less than 20 minutes that it was a combined explosions of leaked commercial gas in the gas storage underneath the ground floor of the empire shopping gallery in subang jaya.

so its the national coffee day today. americans are scrambling to grab their free cup of coffee. although its nothing happened here, i as a coffee lover ensure i drank coffee and nothing else, just for the joy of celebrating the day. nonetheless for a coffee lover like me, everyday is a coffee day for us anyway.

-----

excerpts from http://nationalcoffeeday.net:

My conspiracy theory is that the big coffee chains started it as a smart way of promotion — hey, there is a food day, so why not a National Coffee Day? It sounds fun anyway!

So sorry, in short I don’t have an answer for you on the origin but if you do know about the history of this event please drop a note below.

happy coffee day everyone!...

when life became too fragile~

alright peeps, so this is a spontaneous post after i found-out that someone 'poked' me on my fb. when i checked, that someone is apparently a 'kampung' friend's wife.

and when i thought again of how on earth that lady 'poked' me out of the blue, here's the story: i saw a good morning wish message posted by my friend on his fb page. so i as usual joyfully popped-in and informed him that i will be there on saturday, and would love him to belanja me at TGIF! i don't think that was bad at all... we have been friends from small. his mother was my auntie's batch in school. in fact both of our family know each other. and before i forgot, my friend found his step-sister or cousin i am not sure, via my fb page. what a small world that my blogger friend is actually related to this friend of mine. and when the lady saw my message, she must have been thinking who the hell am i huh?!!... well, join us at TGIF and that's not a problem for me at all!

oh, haluuu... lay-deee

i don't give a damn about your husband ler... don't worry at all for god's sake! and i am NOT that kind of woman to bother about someone's husband. and if you think that i wanna disturb your marriage life, then you are wasting your time! i am a single-mother, yes. but take note that i am also a strong woman with big hearts... enough said! ♡

cartoon characters trend

its just like yesterday that i blogged about our malaysian youths especially the girls been using as drug mules. and for now you could see that i am joining the latest trend/campaign on facebook that's to replace my avatar to my fav childhood cartoon characters: she-ra, the princess of power... wootz!

this latest facebook meme, the cartoon fad started with facebook users in greece and cyprus in mid-november to raise awareness for children, STOP VIOLENCE AGENTS CHILDREN. read more here.

i think its a great way to say we care about our children and are willing to do whatever it takes to stop abuse against them. hope others will begin discussing the matter and support relevant charities and take up volunteer jobs.

i read quite a number of feedbacks online, positive, negative, everything... nevertheless i hate people that say we are idiot because we changed our profile pics. well this is a cause against child abuse. we are just getting back our old memories when we are young. this is for raising the awareness of child abuse. they don't really understand what is this for. its sad that some people won't even do something. it doesn't take that much to show that you care about people other than yourself!

i think it's a great idea! to everyone who think its stupid, don't be so selfish! there are some people out there who can't even donate $2 to help the cause. this is the least that we can do. its simple yet to some people it means a lot! ☮

so people who is/was your fav childhood cartoon characters?

the day kuE turns 38~

sembang² with... kuE!

i maybe a bit slow in updating my blogs lately especially starting late 2009. but i have decided to make a good come back for this new year. like very soon, you will see me releasing quite a number of blog post that are still hanging there in my draft folder :) at the meantime, let me start with this~


WILKOMMEN!!!

to one and all...

so i wanted to start doing a topic (or two, or maybe more) of the week called sembang² with... kuE!, posted every sunday. i guess this is a good way for me to update this blog frequently. i will type a topic that i find discussable from other people's facebook status updates, give you my answer, and then hope you guys fill out the comments section with your answers or feedbacks! and hey... of course i will retype other names instead and take out the links and their profile pics for privacy purposes. how's that?

Zareen uishh mama melahap tak ajak eh..
Thu at 8:09pm

when i saw the above on last thursday, i was rather shocked. yes, if you are a mother too like me, i am sure you will think of how on earth a daughter can dare to mention 'melahap' to her own mother. this was where i got the new idea to come out with sembang² with... kuE!

alright, some may see its a family joke. but when a word that normally referred to animals, as only animal eat greedily like lion; i strictly do not think the word is good for humans too.

somehow or rather that shows our society today. often that was not acceptable last time is practically look upon as okay. if we say we are keeping up with times, it's true, but at the same time a culture is dying.

as a concerned citizen, i braved myself to type a comment:

hey... it's not good to say 'melahap' especially to a mother! i am not trying to be a busy body, but i guess it's not wrong to remind each other~ that's what we PTA committee at SMKRPK believe. thank you so much for the understanding.

my instinct is always right! i knew it in the first place when i typed earlier that i am gonna get all types of replies, including those who teased. and to the one who teased me, its alright, what goes around, will comes around. this is what we called life. i have been facing with all these through out my life!

i did go back to the page and replied some of the comments. some said that i worked in pta. walaweiii... pta is not a job ler, but its a community work instead. if its a job, i am very sure that many parents will be attending its agm with hope to be chosen as one of the committee members.

there's also people said i am fierce, aggressive. this is another~ if i am as such, i won't let my puteri to befriend with budak² koleq, or rmc and so forth! i make it a point to communicate well with my kids~ talk and discuss with them about life and whatever that could be discussed together. we must be someone that our kids could trust, to look upon to when they need us.

and here, i copy & paste lela's answer:

sometimes when we didn't know the real situation..we better remain silent or shud reserve our comment in the first place..the conversation was between me and my daughter and she didn't pointed it out to someone else! wat is wrong with melahap...just like i said..its family jokes...u also have family jokes right...then pls ignore ours!

since when lak every single words kt sini will be commented...unless very2 bad word she said to me!

if I were you i wont give any comments until the real story is revealed! nanti kena bang sana sini....if you already used to it...try la to change , sometimes people can't take it easily...tak seronok jugak sbb org asyik kata sana sini...kata kita being too bagus! everyone make mistakes..

some peoples are just dont bother about others family talk...even I also dont bother at all....each family has their own ways to keep and stay happy in life......

apa2pun..dont take this as big issue lah...kita masing2 ada anak n family...just give our full attention to them..bother lah ttg org lain...as long they are happy with their life...i feel happy too! I know my daughter very well..the words she often, sledom or never used!

to my darling angel...sian..nak berFB pun susah yer...hehehe
mama loves u so much...and don't ever ever use the word 'damn' here ok!! i know u wont!

anyway tq for the reminder...

lela actually was my school batch. it was really a surprising moment to see of what's happening now. i thought we must give good examples to our kids for our own future generation. i dunno lar... its up to the individual then i guess ;P


topic of the week #2:

Sue is a little bengang: Was@ a parking lot during lunch hr, saw this makcik with loads of stuff, navigating her way towards her car - behind her, 1 girl about my princess' age, she was walking towards middle of the road - i was on the opposite lot, saw a car approaching frm her rear, i ran across the road, pulled her aside... the makcik scolded me... 'Cina tak guna, tarik anak aku...' DUH!!!???
Fri at 5:14pm · Comment · Like

sue was eventually from my school also, a senior. no doubt she is the same sue i know from last time and always... in fact i drove to ipoh last 2 weeks just to have breakfast with her. believe it or not, that was the first time we met, after i left school about more than 20 years ago!

alright, its not to say that we are not in a spirit of 1malaysia, even if we are in 1family also might be have some miscommunication. what sue did was a 1malaysia spirit even though the result is a bit disappointed. well... lots of people don't see the "bigger" picture and these type of people are a big put off! but she did good in pulling the child to safety :)

according to sue, she did explain to the lady of what had happened. but too bad, the makcik was so blinded with rage, she couldn't care less... pity her...


YOUR TURN! leave a comment!

"paragon of fashion"

i have been called as "paragon of fashion" by harjinder, a junior of my school. it started when i saw this on a canadian fb friend's status:

WANNA SEE WHO DOES THIS... Let's see how honest FB friends are. Leave a 1 word comment that you think best describes her. It can only be 1 word. No more than 1 word. Then copy & paste this post on your wall so she can leave a word about you. This should be interesting... Wonder if she has 20 brave friends who will do this~

so after i typed a word about heather, i copy and paste the above on my fb status. i was kinda eager too to see of what people would say about me. it was an honour for me though to find out that there are some people who secretly adore me for my fashion. i just dunno what to say but that's me! i guess harjinder could see it from our school days till now. basically i lurve to dress up according to the occasions, functions or events i am attending. i dunno about you, but for me i would definitely feel odd if i don't wear according to the theme...

like recently when i attended a chinese wedding, i wore cheongsam (i know i know i didn't blog about this YET)! guest were kinda impressed seeing me. even most of the chinese people themselves don't wear their traditional clothes during functions like that :(

and i wonder if you could still remember about an indian wedding that i posted some time early this year. i chose to wear lehnga. ayuuuuu... you could read it here, plus more close-up pics of their wedding traditions.

i also owned áo dài, a vietnam traditonal clothes that my dad bought it tailor-made for me during his vietnam trip many years ago.

besides lehnga, i have wore saree too at a company dinner some time ago. it was a bollywood theme. i chose to wear saree to create something different from other people. i wanted to show them that malay girls can wear saree too... then voila!

well, all the above pics were part of the other clothes that i wore apart from the normal baju kurung or kebaya. and now, i am in the mid of thinking of what to wear for a christmas line dance party that i am going to attend next week. any idea people? ;P

the day when the earth shakes...

i was happily browsing online when suddenly around 6+ pm, i was stunned to see fb friends in klang valley, malacca and penang reported that they felt their places shaking. i quickly checked on twitter search under 'shaking' [http://twitter.com/#search?q=shaking]; there you go... everyone were talking about it too. scary huh?!! eventually malaysia and singapore are affected from the earthquake that just happened in indonesia.

@iDeskCNN got reports from padang, indonesia that people are running out of their houses and to the hills according to eyewitness. find out more about this on CNN here.

take care everyone, no matter where ever you are around the globe...

'copy & paste' fb status(?)...

i was happily awoke as usual in the morning, still in my room, i first checked stuff on my dell. i clicked my fb' news feed when i saw this from someone on my list—

then i was like walaweiii!!!... that's sooooo me. suddenly the smart me remembered that, "heyyy... i wrote that last night before i went to bed"—

i really dunno of what to say here. i doubt that its a co-incidence thingy. as far as i could remember he's actually the one who requested me to be on his friend's list on fb although i can't figure out of who he was. i found out that he knows one of my (young) uncles. so probably he saw my uncle and i interacted in fb blerk!...

p/s people on fb dunno that i blog except puteri, kay and most bloggers i know like tim, robb, johnny ong and marcus and also some others. in fact, this revolves real people in my whole life. you could see of what i meant here. and the main point i started to blog was that i could still write my journal online without the worries of people reading my written journal instead.

so what say you people?
