Pedalling through
The dark currents
I find
An accurate copy
A blueprint
Of the pleasure
In me
- Bjork
A new year resolution is so wayang for we(or rather Yours Truly) never stick to it.
They always say "Forget the past, Let's start a fresh"
Yours Truly say "Let's sleep"
Back to the future
Do you remember the giant's world? Where the trolls, gnomes in cohort with the Kobolds.
Mama used to say " be very careful walking in dark areas. You certainly wouldn't want be caught by one of ugly, malicious trolls."
In Scandivanian folklore, trolls were mostly bad and dangerous, and sometimes not very smart, either. Which is why we kids got fooled too.
Mama also said "You can find Trolls living in forests, caves, gardens, backyards, the garage, even in your house."
It was a very bad idea to say that to your kid as a bed time story. Yours Truly wont even dare to toss n turn even her little body screaming and aching due to one still sleeping position. To all mamas out there, please don't try this at home.
Inhibitions and stifled fears emerge from the abyss of childhood.
Recap I
Year 2007 mmmbekmmmbek-dun-kill-mmbek-me sacrificial duty fell onto the eldest of BamBam Bros. The great difference between us is that he don't run away or cringe or even go into soft trance hallucination in front of a goat/sheep. Yours Truly couldn't care less seeing the composed self of the BamBam Bro as he goes "ALLAH HU AKHBAR" and the goat goes "MMMMBEEEKKKKKKKK" at knife point.
Recap II
Two days pre-christmas out-of-blue, The Lan Buddies decided to have fishing cum crabbing cum bbq. No thanks to Yours Truly who happened to be in "aku-gian-ketam, aku-nak-makan-ketam,meh pi cari ketam,syai tolong tangkap ikan pari" mood. Since it was super out-of-blue & some of the boys couldn't get leaves from work, left only Flash, Green latern & Yours truly. We took this as a serious "maha pancing" mission & it got Yours Truly making a fool of herself by doing research on e best place, how to,what bait, buy what for ketam(crabbing) when all she got to do is ask the expert(Green latern). With 4 rods,1 8-men tent,2 crab traps, 1 bag of super basi ikan and 1 hammock, So the BIG KETAM DAY come.
Recap III
"Mak-nak-beranak-lambat" baby aka Maybel's birthday falls on 31th Dec. She's a year older than the rest of the Girls but due to her "tak-nak-keluar-cepat", she ended up in 1983 instead of 1984 like us. While the rest of her peer dreads 2008 quarter of the century, she happy-happy enjoying her 24 instead of 25.
Maybel & Ernie
Titsy & the cute souveniers from Thai.
