32 Flavors
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster,
I am 32 flavors and then some....
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision so you might want to turn your head
'Cause someday you're going to get hungry and eat all of the words that you just said
I am what I am, I am 32 flavors and then some
God help you if you are an ugly
Course too pretty is also your doom
'Cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room
God help you if you are a phoenix and you dare to rise up from ash
A thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy while you are just flying past
I am what i am, I am 32 flavors and then some
I'm taking my chances as they come
I am 32 flavors and then some, I'm nobody but I am someone, someone...
I'd never try to give my life meaning by demeaning you
And I would like to state for the record... I did everything that I could do
I am beyond your peripheral vision so you might want to turn your head
'Cause someday you're going to be starving and eating al the words that you just said
That you said
I am what I am, I am what I am
I am 32 flavors and then some
I'm taking my chances as they com
I am 32 flavors and then some
Looking for truth and there is none
Original singer was Ani DiFranco. Best gak browse playlist lagu2 lama ni. But i like Alana Davis' rendition. Husky skit. Last time a fren of a fren recommended songs to me i was enthralled because they swapped songs like they swapped DVDs.. Cool jugak.
I remember someone said if we are thinking of someone, that other person is thinking of you also. Probably true, but arguable la because this world is not focused on yourself only aight? But this happened right in front of me, a fren is talking abt this girl he likes...Been quite a while since they texted each other. He's so into her, i can tell from the way he's gushing abt her, how he likes the way she's down to earth despite the fact that she drives a Murano. (Serious, kalau ko couple ngan dia, aku nak kawan ngan keta dia leh? hahahha).
Tetiba his phone tit tot tit tot. An sms. His eyes looked hopeful, yeah like anyone doesnt towards org yg dia minat kan? Tengok2 it is the girl...Sheesh. Right in front of me. Is this a work of higher powers? Probably. You can never tell.
Got a flat tyre today. Went to pomen to change the tube n get me a new raincoat, complete with seluar ikat tali getah hahahaha..Lately i thot im lucky i use a motorbike for commuting to werk because probably its a waste of time on the road. But when it rains you WISH you had a car. Apart from that, price of cars has gone down. Although im tempted (cantikkan MyVi kaler hitam?) i'll wait first la..So coming back to the pomen, i made small talk with him. You'll never know what insight these ppl have. Betul...At first he's lamenting abt his misfortunes. I asked abt whether this is his shop? He said, "Mana adaaaaaa....Suma bank punya jugaaaaa". I agree. Unless you complete your instalments, those bimmers are still bank punyer. But who doesnt want a car nowadays.
Oh,btw did you know that the phrase "D'oh!" has been accepted as an official word in the Oxford Dictionary?Suma pasal Homer Simpson, caya la lu.
I got slapped today. Big time. My boss, who i regard as my sister (kawe anak sulung, tarak kakak) yg tampar aku, literally. It's abt me n my mom. She told me things that i couldnt forecast later. Sheesh. She said anak sulung laki will follow the mother's attributes. Betul ka? Im like kena tampar dua tiga kali. At least we're open with each other (i mean me n my boss). Hahah she even calls me her apprentice. I call her Mrs Trump. Ok berbalik ke me n my mom. She said i have a stubborn profile. Mak aii...The phrase of the day is,"Everything in this world is not about you, ok Fadzli?".

*me like to sing when on motorbike*
Life's been good. Jamming balik last Sunday. NOBODY practised and tetiba Effy wanted to play 'Jujur' and Hawa wants to sing 'Hilang' (u know, the one I said muntah bila dgr that song)..Some songs seem to get to your bones after a while. Like that Cher song some years ago. Ok la, my veins popped a bit sbb lama tak ketuk. Twas good.
Went for some movies. Inside Man is applaudable, sama macam Usual Suspects. Come to think of it, i shuldve tidoq dah but the movie managed to make me siap siaga. Pi la tengok, org kata macam Snatch, Reservoir Dogs and what have you. Underworld i managed to sleep (u know TGV is very CONDUSIVE to sleep - with air con sommore). Garasi - hanya aku sorang je tau kenapa aku suka citer tu. and Yan takyah nak gelak2 kat aku ok? I thot wanted to bring my youngest sis to watch Ice Age or The Wild but discovered she already matured and got some perselisihan faham tetiba . Sheesh, some ppl cant see our real intention!!!! Lantaklah, maleh nak buat lawak2 bodo pas ni..
Macam ni, read this , i was browsing Angah punya blog. So i found it cute for the youngest, being in Std 4 wrote that letter. OK, i admit maybe i laughed out too loud. But lately ive been very penat i seem to 'burst' everything, geddit? Wanted to bring my siblings for sushi that afternoon, tgk2 the youngest merajuk. First feckin' time!!! Serious never seen that side of her. And being me, im not that equipped much to pujuk these female species. [not much prektis for the past 3 yrs?]. So the youngest majuk, with selimut and pasang Discman (dah la aku punya discman!)..So i thought, "lantakla...tak larat/reti nak pujuk2 dah". Im tired to think of others right now. So, this is a declaration that im not talking to 2 ppl in my house. How proud is that? Nasib baik with Rosa, my mentor i told her up front that im taking the 'communicado' approach, kinda like cakap je what's inside ur head/ur thots. Alhamdulillah everything's going well n we're good frens. Serious aku maleh nak pujuk2 org skarang ni. So, nak buat rekod plak ke with the youngest ni?
Tonite i got some 'so lama' news. I just want to sit in front of PC and browse thru my song playlists. Lama tak dengar U2, Pantera, Wallflowers, ANDREA BOCELLI...
This stint gives an insight of myself, kinda showed me my capacity to learn, figure out silly emergency things, SABAR, hahah even interviewed some kids who wanted to work. Yup, i know it's quite shitty (or maybe im exaggerating) but i know it will benefit me when im on my own. Oh ya, i've been gossiping like nobody's business lately. And the kids, they are adorable..Sometimes when im in the office i curik2 dengar their conversations.. Puts a smile on me face. These kids all have potential, it's how u play along their tune, their moods, their style of work. Good good. Manusia kan? Mmg macam2 perangai.
*same ole me*

The day i saw only Kimi's hair up close.
Ticket's courtesy of Azman, and its complimentary (free la tu) so i jumped on the chance. Funny thing was we din have parking tickets. So went to buy:
me: "Saya ada tiket Turqoise, ada parking tiket yg dekat2?".
budak: "Ada tinggal PA4 (jauh sangat) tapi abang boleh beli saya punya tiket, PA2...lagi dekat bang".
me: "Berapa for PA4?".
budak: "Rm50, bang".
me: "Baper plak untuk tiket awak?". [his fingers trembling while showing me the map hahaha]
budak: "Berapa abang nak bagi?Rm60 ok?".
Aku tunggu bapak lagi..Beli terus. Apparently the kid's new.
Kimi's appearance?I managed to see his hair je because of all the shrieking girls that went Kimi!!! Kimi!!!!. Got to see only his hair. Made me think about girls who follow F1 just because the driver's good looks. Sama macam bola. But it's their choice, why kisah? Even depan kitorang also got one Alonso die hard fan she lambai2 to him everytime he went past us, sambil jerit2,"Come on!!!!!" like he can see you la akak...
But MY 'teruja' moment was Schumacher's style of driving. Macam setan. But i clapped everytime he potong sayur others, including our (our?) Villeneuve. Last time i went my earplugs kena curi from my aunty, so this time i made sure my ears tak pekak lagi.
As always im proud when we all sang 'Negaraku' (the NEW version), made me proud of free F1 tickets, pirated DVDs, kiasu ppl, congested MRR2, oil prices...

Gila Baboon
As time goes by, i think i have to accomodate fewer hours of blogging. If i ever come home before 9pm. Well, you compensate with what you have right? So how are you guys? Wer u been? Lama tak nampak? As for yours truly, the manager im attached to (Pn Rosa) was awarded with another station. That's what you get when you perform in this program. She got the station at Besraya Highway (near Star Sg Besi) on the way to Balakong, Sri Kembangan etc.. So in a way i have to commute to and from Pandan Indah (her current station) and Sg Besi, supervising contractors, systems ppl, tiles ppl..One thing that makes me pening kepala in the pak guard over there. This pakcik (i guess out of loneliness n boredom) he bela two puppies. Cute Little Puppies. Yang dah membesar and kencing merata2. Management ppl say, "its a challenge for you". Easy to say when ur not the one facing them puppies. But they are ADORABLE. Siap guling2 kat rumput, with their tails wagging and tongue sticking out. Hahahah even i dun mind keeping them if they are halal to Muslims. [On another note, Muslims actually can keep dogs, for security reasons or even as hunting apparatus, zaman dulu2].
Sunday i met Fahi n Fizah with Ali. Fizah is sooooo keibuan. She's oredi 35 weeks into pregnancy. Im a bit awkward because these guys i know since 1998, same class, i followed their luvstory and in a way they i consider family frens. Fizah dah, how to say this? bengkak all over. Boyot, muka tembam, cuter (arent all pregnant mothers cute?) muka merah2 skit, jalan pelan2, ........ Im speechless when she stepped into Pelita. The last time i saw her was during her wedding so a lot has happened. Her only 'mengidam' was a Snickers bar that Fahi happily bought at 7-11. One time when we were talking, tetiba Fizah pegang her perut. I asked,"Baby gerak ke?". Yes..I pun said to her perut,"Assalamualaikum!!! Ni Uncle Fadzli ni'. *Fizah was really concerned on what to address me when her kids grow=Uncle Grunge is soooo a bad influence*. So id go for Uncle Fadzli. They're expecting a girl, will prolly name her Damia/Dania something something...I'll definitely be there when baby comes out. But one thing Fizah said what struck me was,"Grunge, patutla Tuhan jadikan pompuan yg mengandung, bukan laki2...Seksanya.....sampai rasa bersalah takmau lawan cakap mak lagi". At this precise moment Ali pats my back and gelak hehehehhe. So pedas.
Ali brought me to True Fitness, Sri Hartamas for a trial session.. I joined the cycling RPM class. Suffice to say i still have a long way to go. For the first time in my life, my betis got cramped tetiba. Malu gak, tapi kontrol sardin jer. Like they care, them also huffing and puffing to the music. Dah la ada lagu Dj Spinner feat Sophie Ellis Baxtor - If This Aint Love -->my all time fav club song. But one thing is for sure, i definitely will join if my future station's nearby. My ideal working hours >>Go to office during mid mornings, go to gym during afternoon, come back do my work or go to gym after all work is settled/issued addressed. My ideal working hour.
Oh ya, Alan got 10 As. I jumped depan customer when Alan informed me. Gila la...Memang confirm anak emas lagi hahahha. But im not worried abt that fact. Janji pergi study kat UMIST. Janji pegi UK cos i definitely will menempek kat sana hahahha. Ryan Giggs i'll watch you play before you retire la wei! Baru boleh stadium hopping. Alan also completed a half marathon with a timing of 2:17. Gila babun la. Lots of my staffs are SPM leavers so one of them is quite frustrated with 6As only. I said to him,"Dun think SPM is the final stage in your life. Banyak lagi yg awak akan mengadap". But i may did something inappropriate when i announced my bro got straight As. Tak patut la yek? Suma muka berubah time tu.
Angah pulak got star struck with my girlfren. I wont elaborate much la. Hari2 jumpa pun kecoh ke Ngah?My girlfren pun dah menyampah with Angah actually.Mentang2 nama korang sama.. Breep breep!!!

*Angah after n before, boleh?

Checkup
Merck Manual of Medical Info 2003 said, "An epidermal cyst is a common slow-growing bump consisting of a thin sac of skinlike material containing a cheesy substance composed of skin secretions."
Epidermal cysts, often incorrectly referred to as sebaceous cysts, are flesh-colored and range from 1/2 to 2 inches across. They can appear anywhere but are most common on the scalp, back and face.[My face la!!!]. They tend to be firm and easy to move within the skin. Epidermal cysts are removed surgically after an anaesthetic is injected to numb the area. The thin sac wall must be removed completely or the cyst will grow back. Small cysts may be injected with corticosteroids if they become inflamed. Infected cysts are treated with an antibiotic and cut open to D-R-A-I-N.[Mak aii, macam Jabatan Saliran n Taliair pulak]. Tiny cysts that are bothersome can be burned out with an electric needle.
Because sunlight may stimulate growth of epidermal cysts, fair-skinned people [like me!] are advised to stay out of the sun and to use protective clothing and sunscreen.
dermatology.about.com said,"Definition: An epidermal cyst is also known as a sebaceous cyst. It is a collection of keratin-like material - usually white, cheesy, or firm - contained in a cyst wall. The epidermal cyst normally has a small opening that communicates with the skin and may not be very well seen. Epidermal cysts can occur on any skin surface, but are most common on the face, back or base of the ears, chest, and back.
Epidermal cysts do not have to be removed unless they are cosmetically unacceptable or if they get infected. An infected epidermal cyst is red, swollen, and painful. It should be treated with antibiotics and then excised when it is not inflamed. The key to removing an epidermal cyst is removing all of the cyst wall, otherwise the likelihood of the cyst coming back is high".
Medical officer @ HKL said, "You have to change the power of your spectacles. Your eyes gets tired and thus it forms a bulge on your temple". [This is the reason why you go for 2nd or 3rd opinions]. Ingat aku budak tadika ke nak bagi alasan2 buduh?? But im gonna change specs not too long anyway so haritu ada orang janji nak tolong pilih spek kan? *wink2, tapi orang tu sibuk bercinta la skang ni*.
Hawa plak, "Habih la lepas ni takde kawan otak tersembul lagi..Dah pegi JB huhu.."
Oh yeah when i was ironing my shirt to go for the checkup that morning my Mak came to me and (being herself) had a look at my jendul/dongga/lump. Me being myself, i said "takde pape, ok jer.." while making a sardine-face. So my next checkup (they gonna take samples out from my lump for analysis) is a biopsy on the 18th of April. Mintak2 tak bengkak lagi la.
Please click here to listen to Donia, an Italian medical student singing Sesucinya Cintamu.Heheh she has a nice voice la and her intonation is excellent ..Not bad for a European. If you love arty farty stuffs please come over to her site and there's beautiful snapshots everywhere. Including pictures of kittens.

Cerita Kuda Berayun
Aku ni buas masa kecik2...Buas sampai pernah paku masuk kaki, patah clavicle kiri aku (still bengkok compared to the right side), pernah kena 6 stitches kat kepala bahagian belakang telinga (masa tu ponteng ngaji Koran) and silly things kids do. The playground kat Jln A4 was our hiding place from home, a place to seek refuge, get together with frens, run from that scary Ustazah, main bola (arghghgh best gila those days - i was made captain), and even main masak2 (oops terkantoi) ..note: masak2 tu time waaaay kecik aaa?
So....
Last night when i saw 4 rocking horses arranged neatly outside the toilet i couldnt resist being a kid again. I read one article about being goofy to smooth out the crumpled soul, so in an instance i rode the horse. Kecik jer kuda tu, made from PVC, kaler macam2 and hahahahhahaha please do read this..It happened out of reflex. See masa kat padang mainan dulu you have this jongkang jongkit and during rocking u suddenly jump and the guy on the other side will suffer from gravity. Hahahha that's what happened to Bee.

The thing happend too abruptly. The guilt i felt was similar like the day i kicked Tottiey (RIP) last time. Tapi being adik beradik, aku ngan Angah bantai gelak dulu baru kesian kat minah mentioned above. Teeheehee. Sorry ye? Kalau pening2 skit next week, baik pergi jumpa tuan doktor. Tapi kalau gambar tu di rotate anti clockwise, nampak macam Bee tengah malu2 (sambil keluar air mata skit) bersandar kat dinding AND kuda kaler hijau tu melekat kat dinding tu. Or you can just teleng ur head to the right.
Finally, a thousand apologies ye? Serious aku cuak that nite, takut ko haemorrhage ke, aneurysm ke. Tapi kalau nak aku boleh bawak ko jumpa doktor kasi check kepala DONGGA ko tu. From now on i'll call you DONGGA la ye? Meh aku belanja ko makan.
