Haha I shocked her!!

2011-07-05T03:57:00.000+08:00

My friend's mother likes to pull me aside each time I visit, and whisper gossip in my ears hoping to shock me. She likes gossiping about whose husband has left, whose wife is shacking up with which guy, pregnant unmarried cousins, etc.
So last week when she dragged me aside and starts saying in a hush hush voice "DO YOU KNOW Betty's cousin brother's wife left him for another man? She gave birth to one child, THEY ARE NOT MARRIED, now she is pregnant again....." she paused for effect, with an expression that evoked the "devil" in me. So I replied with a straight face.. "Oh wow she so smart, why wanna marry? Married then more heartache, have to take care of him and his children, now she only has her children to care for, no need to complicate things by marrying the dude"
Her mouth dropped open, and she went "HUH??? WHAT???"
OMG that was priceless....I repeated myself, "Ya lar, marry for what? Obviously he does not want to marry, if he did he would have proposed to her when she was pregnant with the first one."

Sometimes I am so evil....

Are these women beautiful?

2011-06-27T03:25:00.002+08:00

To me they are!! Unfortunately, if they were to enter this competition I am not sure that they would win. Sadly today's media has set different standards for how women should look like and they have convinced us that beauty cannot be anything more than a size 0...... :(

So many Ups and Downs

2011-06-10T02:29:00.000+08:00

Sometimes in life I feel like I am on a roller coaster ride, up down up down, perhaps that is why I do NOT like to ride on roller coasters. I have enough things to turn my stomach upside down. Never liked being thrown all over not knowing when the next turn is or when to duck when that curve ball is thrown at me.
Uncertainty........

Perhaps like Lewis Carroll “If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.”

"To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself."

If your lettuce does not grow well, who do you blame?

2011-05-29T20:38:00.004+08:00

"When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you
don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not
doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or
less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have
problems with our friends or family, we blame the other
person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will
grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive
effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason
and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no
reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you
understand, and you show that you understand, you can
love, and the situation will change"

I don't like to sleep alone...stay with me don't go...talk with me for just awhile...

2011-05-28T23:36:00.001+08:00

Ever since I was a little girl, I have never liked sleeping alone. When I was 5 I lived with my aunt and she would let me share her bed, at first I slept in between my uncle and her, then because i kicked so much, my uncle got upset and left, often opting to sleep in the back room. As I grew older I shared a room with my sisters, we had one big mattress, hehe. Then in my teenage years, I was given the option of having my own room, I declined and gave the privilege to my younger sister.
I also have this weird ritual when I go to bed, I like to have my back scratched and in return I will tell you an original self-made up story about prince and princesses. My sisters loved my stories, it was always very exciting and imaginative.

I slept in the same room with my sister all the way up to my teenage years, then I started going to sleepovers. Did the sleepover thing from my teens down to my 20s. Love love love sleeping with people...

Now? Well now I sleep alone....with my Mac as a companion (◐.̃◐). Truly going to bed alone and waking up alone can be quite depressing. There is nothing worse than getting into bed all alone then staring at the ceiling, thinking about various things and trying to get to sleep. Worse, waking up at 3 or 4 am and realize that I am all alone with no one to snuggle or cuddle up to..

I'd Rather....

2011-05-27T09:06:00.000+08:00

I’d rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else.

Sometimes when we see a couple quarrels so badly we can't help but think, why why why do they want to be with each other since all they do day in day out is quarrel. But let us not be too hasty in our judgement, let me share a story with you. My own parents, they are like the complete opposite of one another, my dad would say A and my mom would say Z. Never in my years of growing up have they ever agreed on anything much. However, my dad loves my mom to the max and even till the day he passed, he was still jealous whenever men looked at her. Even some of the quarrels that they have surrounds the fact that my mom talked to other guys. And once when I suggested that they should separate since they were obviously making each other miserable, my dad literally turned red and yelled at me "WHAT?? WHAT?? ARE YOU CRAZY? I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!"

LOL, anyway my point is there are many different kinds of couples, some yell at each other day and night, yet love each other deeply and that seems to be the way they want it. While others, put up a great show of lovingness but behind closed doors their relationship is as dead as a doornail, but to the world they are the most loving couple. I guess to each their own.....if it works for the couple then it works, that's all that matters.

Do you think he will change?

2011-05-25T12:07:00.000+08:00

Last weekend a friend of mine got married. Since I was not able to express what my true feelings were regarding her marriage, I will share it here.
Long story short, they met, girl falls madly in love with guy, guy thinks differently, he fools around with other chicks even while they were "officially together". She caught him red handed many times. But forgives him anyway although he did not ask for her forgiveness.
And so it goes on, in spite of being advised by the whole world she stubbornly claims once she gets him to sign that piece of paper that says they are married, he will change. She keeps saying he will change and she wants to be the one to change him, she wants to be THE ONE he gives up all other women for.

Sigh....in my heart, I really do think that if he does not care that he is caught even BEFORE you are married, what makes you think he is gonna give a damn AFTER you are married??
My dear friend this quote is for you...
“Love is when you shed a tear and still want him, it's when he ignores you and you still love him, it's when he loves another girl but you still smile and say I'm happy for you, when all you really do is cry.”

When Wives/Grilfriends CHEAT why DO men keep quiet?

2011-05-23T09:11:00.004+08:00

I always wonder why men keep quiet even though they know their wives or girlfriends are cheating on the them. Is it easier for men to adopt the "don't tell don't know" policy, where they themselves are not always honest with their wives? Or is it that their egos are so fragile that they prefer to not know then to know and then having to admit that other men are fulfilling their wives because they themselves have failed to do so?

The thought of their wives/girlfriends preferring another men's dick threatens their own manhood perhaps? Maybe it is also a lack of places to turn to and confide, I mean seriously, I don't think any man would freely admit to his guy friends that his wife/gf is cheating on them, for fear of being laughed at.

A guy once made a remark "If the wife/gf cheats on the man, it is usually the man's fault". Compared to men, I think women don't succumb as easily to cheating, however, the more financially independent women of today, may think differently.

This is a true story.......

2011-05-22T21:22:00.000+08:00

Happened to me today at the airport

Autoflush toilets and I have never had a good relationship to begin with...

decides to leave jeans half down so can make a quick seat-down

replaces toilet seat cover, plops down with super speed on toilet seat before I can.....WHOOOOOSSHHH, that darn thing flushes again, acting as if it knows I am at its mercy.

It knows I have no choice....continues with business, sitting perfectly still, trying not to make even the slightest movement

efforts were futile.....WHOOOOSSSSH, toilet flushes anyway

this time i decide to ignore it, I was surprised it behaved. I did not realize at that time what its silence meant. Little did I know that darn thing was actually quietly hatching plan....

Done & wiped & all zipped up

Stood up.........**silence**

step a bit to the left.....**silence**

step to the right, maybe it din detect me....**silence**

step to the left, step to the right, make big huge movements... that darn thing stubbornly refuses to flush!!!!!!!!!

See onot?? Aitelyu that thing is evilllllllllllll.........

Do you ever feel alone....sometimes?

2011-05-21T09:09:00.001+08:00

Many of us go online or come on Facebook because sometimes we feel empty and alone. Other times even when we are surrounded by people, we still feel like we are not part of the group.

Do you ever feel that way sometimes?? I know I do...

All of us I think at some points in our lives feel alone, but for some people these feelings of loneliness seemed to be so ingrained that they become part of their identity. We CAN change that.

Many times if we pay close attention, there feelings are there for a reason, perhaps:-

we have just broken up with some one --break up of a romantic relationship
we have just been diagnosed with some health problems, that makes us unable to go out with our friends or participate in activities like we used to.
loving some one, wanting an intimate meaningful relationship and failing to find THE ONE, someone we can share our ups and downs with.
sometimes we reach out and share with people and we get disillusion, the person never understood what we are going through and we end up getting criticized or looked down upon as weak.

The KEY to understand why we are lonely is to look into the possible causes of it and then change things for ourselves. Loneliness occurs when we cannot share our thoughts and feelings with someone we can trust and we know that they care for us. Even if they are busy, we know they will be there to listen to us, often we need some one to understand what we feel and why, we need empathy not pity, or sympathy. We need to feel someone "gets us".

Lonely By Cesset

But don't despair if you experience this, there are ways to deal with your feelings:-

Firstly you have to identify why you feel alone. Is is because of relationship problems? Is it because you are single and have no one to turn to? Or perhaps you spouse does not understand you? Or perhaps you have migrated to a foreign country and there is no support system there, your friends and family are all too far way. It all depends on which stage in life you are in, feelings of aloneness can come from many different sources.
Secondly, you have to decide that you want to do something about it and take action. Perhaps you can start by identifying what activity you like to do. If you have always wanted to learn flower arranging or cake baking then attend a class. When you go regularly and talk to people in your class, you will build connections. Or maybe you can choose a charity and volunteer, work together with people and form your bonds with those who share the same interest with you.
Thirdly, find what makes you happy, if you want to learn dancing, then go ahead, or you like to write, then join a writing class, do things that make YOU happy.
Fourthly, when ever we feel alone, it is usually when we have too much time on our hands and we start thinking, perhaps we can start by getting out and perhaps look outside of ourselves. If we look around we might see a friend in need and where other people could use our help. If a friend has some problems, plan to do something nice for him or her. Volunteer at a hospital perhaps, if you love to sing, maybe go to a senior center and play music for them. When you do this, many times you will start joining in with the rest of the world and you will find that you are building connections that you need. So by helping others you are actually helping yourself.

Time waits for no man or woman

2011-05-18T09:00:00.000+08:00

Sometimes in life we think that we have time, time to learn the things we want to learn, time to procrastinate, time to tell the person we love that we love them...but the hard fact is we never know when time is up. When I was young my father always tells me to not procrastinate, to do what I need to do and want to do today, this minute. Of course, being a teenager I was annoyed at him. I thought I had all the time in the world. I thought my father was just weird to nag me so much on the urgency of doing things today, so to speak.

5 years passed, 10 years passed, 20 years passed....I grew up, moved across the world to get an education etc etc. Those seemed like happy times, we visited each other, I missed him lots but thought to myself, once I work, earn more money then I can buy him things, give him money to fly over to visit me, and so on. We did do those but........

One day I got a call that he had collapsed of a heart attack and had passed away, a day after I had just spoken to him and things were going great....suddenly there was no more time, no more time to do all the things I had planned to do, no more time to say one last "I love you" no more time for anything....

Time has taught me a hard lesson, it waits for no one. So pick up the phone and tell people you love that you love them, if you think of visiting an old relative, visit them, don't wait, if you want to take your parents on a vacation do so, be with the ones you love as much as you can and let them know they are important to you.

For those living overseas or even a different state, it may be hard to save money to go home yearly but don't let your parents wait 5 or more years before you sit down with them for a Chinese New Year reunion dinner, or a celebration of any kind.

Anger

2011-05-17T20:43:00.001+08:00

"When you say something really unkind, when you do something in retaliation your anger increases. You make the other person suffer, and he will try hard to say or to do something back to get relief from his suffering. That is how conflict escalates."

Perhaps marriage licenses should have an expiration date just like any other license

2011-05-14T09:00:00.003+08:00

Sometimes I feel like people treat divorcees like they are defective individuals. Divorcees, they should not be made to feel guilty just because they choose not to stay in a marriage.

However personally I feel that being divorced in an Asian society is like a double whammy. People view you through a certain judgmental eye. IS something wrong with you, they wonder? How does one cope with the pressure and stress? Should we just crumble, throw in the towel, close one eye and remain in a marriage where both parties are no longer happy?

Asians I find, also love to pretend....we prefer to act like there is nothing wrong rather than admit there are problems. For instance, everyone may know that your husband has a mistress/es but no one feels uncomfortable when you celebrate your 20th, 30th, 50th wedding anniversary. They are more than happy to act like you are the happiest couple in the world although everyone knows it is a lie.

Don't get me wrong I am not advocating divorce. I am merely pleading for people to be more tolerant and less condemning. Let the individual decide if he or she wants to live or stay, afterall they merely doing what is right for them.

Click here to get your man back

2011-05-08T09:00:00.001+08:00

Sometimes I wonder, are there any sure fire ways of getting one's man back after he has strayed? Has

anyone here succeeded before or know of some woman who have succeeded? Men, perhaps you can share some thoughts as to how can your woman get you back once you have strayed?

Some people have suggested the following BUT I seriously do not think they work

1) Make yourself attractive, lose some weight, dress up, put make up and so on

As far as I can see, this method has not proven to be effective because usually the mistress is way way uglier than the wife. Some are even downright dowdy in appearance, with less education, less brains, overall less successful than the wife.

2) Cater to his every whim

This is the second worse advice in my opinion, as you can see the wife often is the "perfect" wife who even irons her man's underwear and the mistress does not even lift a finger, the man does it all, even those who swear they will never touch a broom or wash a dish will often do those in the mistress's home.

3) Be more adventurous in bed?

Seriously you think that would help? I dono maybe what do most of you think?

4) Communication

I doubt this one too, I mean in the first place did they not leave because we yap too much, nag nag nag, so how can talking more bring our man back into our arms?

5) Hire a hitman to do away with the mistress

Well, this might work, but it can be quite expensive and if caught could mean we have to be someone's bitch in jail YIKES!!!! On second thoughts if you get rid of one and he goes and find another then how?? Unless you have a Frequent User card, it really is not practical.

So how?? If you still love your man and he strays how? If only there were a button we can click.

Go ahead, do not be afraid to be happy....

2011-05-06T01:53:00.000+08:00

Relationships are hard enough without all the misc obstacles that accompanies choosing a partner that society does not accept such as choosing someone of a different religion than you, different ethnicity, different age group as you, being gay, being a lesbian, long distance and so on and so forth.

However, on a personal level I feel that if you love someone deep enough then society's disapproval should not be even taken into consideration. You are the one in the relationship not society. Having said that, there was this Chinese girl who fell in love with a Caucasian guy. Their relationship is fine except that society keeps sticking it's nose in it.

On her side, her boss, her friends, all told her :Expats just wanna play, they dun love you, once they are done they will leave

On his side, his boss, and friends tell him: All Singaporean girls are gold diggers, they just wanna hook a rich white guy they dun truly love you.

Now both have doubts...

I am not saying their fears are unfounded, there are some cases that are like that however, I still think they should not give up their chance to be happy just because of what society says. Truly each case is unique. Think for yourself, dun let others do your thinking for you.

Reach Out

2011-03-14T08:03:00.001+08:00

Reach out to embrace what is seen all around you,

feel this in your heart, then express what you must do.

For each has a special purpose that we all come to share,

to give guidance or nurture or just show that you truly care.

Reach out to be blessed with universal gifts,

for as you receive these, you will feel an emotional shift.

Your heart will open up to let go of all constraints,

along with your ego and magically all complaints.

Reach out to learn knowledge from the higher realms,

it's time to step back to release your hold from the helm.

For infinite wisdom is reached through a deeper source,

and with this comes peace with contented joy, of course,

Reach out to teach the wisdom that you already know,

teach about balance in the evolutionary flow.

For your participation is a gift you're able to share,

a valued contribution that cannot be compared.

Reach out to share your love, plus your deep concern,

toward the world, proving what hasn't yet been learned.

Together we can strive to make this world a better place,

with balance and harmony for the entire human race.

Reach out to show that you understand or have learned,

how to be non-judgmental or what you now discern.

"What is good from bad or even right from wrong?"

Just hear the beat within to hear your special song.

Reach out to others and then cast your light out wide,

there is nothing to fear, so please don't run and hide.

Show strength with integrity and let others see this too.

For what is more precious than reaching out in all you do?

-Margaret Jang

2010-11-18T12:13:00.003+08:00

First of all I am not much of a traveler. Really do not like plane rides or boat rides, or car rides….perhaps train rides are ok, still anything that moves is not really my cup of tea or kopi.

But maybe it is about time I changed all that and be more open minded and adventurous. My mom told me just last week, that my eldest aunt’s daughter is taking my aunt to China for a holiday. Although when she informed me of that piece of news, she said, “aiya everywhere also the same wan”, and she is not keen on going but I heard something behind those words. There seemed to be an unspoken longing…..of “would be nice if my daughter took me too” behind her words. So when I saw this post, it planted the idea that perhaps I can take my mom to Guilin. She is not the kind of woman that likes crowded touristy places but she does enjoy nature. So I did a little bit more research on it and found out that it has things that really appealed to me. I can picture mom and I on the Li River Cruise. I can’t imagine mom not loving sights such as the “spectacular limestone peaks, graceful bamboo groves, farmers tending rice paddies, and lumbering water buffaloes pulling carts or cooling off in the river and perhaps fishermen gliding along on their narrow bamboo rafts” (as described by the brochure, hehe). For myself it would have to be the Reed Flute Cave, what can I say I have a cave fetish, I love caves for some inexplicable reason, I think caves are like a magical wonderland of stalactites, stalagmites, stone pillars, stone curtains, the shapes and colors fascinates me.

So if I get a chance, I would really like to take my mom to Guilin and I am quite sure she and I will have a fantastic time there. Here are the sights I imagine seeing…..

Arggghh I got infected!!!

2010-10-14T01:37:00.005+08:00

You see I have never let anyone near it, so I never had to worry about protection. I was naive...I thought it was safe and I did not know much about protection. I thought what is the harm, one time nia wat (akcerli it was a few times lar, hehe) , should be ok lar, so I let you....you know.

Months later I discovered....wahhhh something wrong oredi, why systems all not working properly...but then of course I mean kenot blame anyone la, since sometimes they themselves oso dono that they have been infected.

Anyway, it really scared me coz the virus was very nasty, and it got me thinking....we can never be too safe and I really need to educate and protect myself, I need to learn that not having an antivirus is like having unprotected sex. You never know where your friends' USB batangs (sticks) has been, so before you allow them to....cucuk inside your computer, make sure you are properly protected.

Lesson learned: Always USE protection!!!

I have HOMOhands!!

2010-10-04T07:50:00.005+08:00

Today I read an article about what finger lengths can tell about you. Mine are clearly homosexual, see above? Not only that but mine indicates that I am also masculine, and autistic, hehe. However, I do have physical abilites (does that mean I can do acrobats in bed??)

So guys look at your fingers!! LOL

Below is how a "normal" female and male finger lengths should be....

In short according to the article if you wanna know if you are gay or not, very simple, look at your finger :P wakakakaka

“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.” ~Jim Morrison ~

Hiding behind pretenses...

2010-10-03T05:55:00.001+08:00

There is nothing I hate more than people hiding behind pretenses. I will tell you what I mean, like for instance you have a crush/hots for this guy/gal and then you pretend to go up to him all buddy buddy like and say "can i be your step sister/brother" or something along those "kheh" lines (kheh knia, kheh pa, kheh chee, kheh ko -step bro, step sis, step watever kinda shit).

Admittedly, i have seen more girls then guys doing this, usually it is because the guy is taken so the only way to "legitimize" your relationship with him and hope that he will keep seeing you is to make him "related" to you in some way or other. This is in fact a sick yet ingenious way, his girlfriend/wife/fiancee cannot really make a fuss coz then she would be seen as a controlling bitch. Aiya my "little step sister" oso you jeles ar??? My honest opinion - STEP your head lar. Unless she is your biological sister, who are you kidding hiding behind the "kheh charade"???

So to all those women who are pretending to be "kheh sisters, and best buddies" etc, kindly F~ off?? And to the girlfriends/wives/fiances who allow this pretense to go on, well what can i say, either you are truly blind or some kind of idiot.

A guy and a girl can be just friends, but at one point or another, they will fall for each other...Maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late, or maybe forever.Dave Matthews Band

Yaay my second article has been published!!

2010-10-02T13:24:00.008+08:00

This morning I submitted my article and it was approved for publication a few hours later. You should see the smile on my face, hehe.

Let me share my experience with you about me and writing these psychology based articles. When I wrote my first article about Narcissistic personality, I saw traits of me in there, the same goes for my second article Spotlight On The Different Types of Social Personality Disorders (<--if you wanna read, just click on the title :D)somehow I saw bits of myself in there too.

Yikes!! my next article is on Dependant Personality Disorder, am I that as well???

Wah jialat!!!

I am seriously baffled...Jesus Christ oso got Facebook??? 0_0

2010-10-01T05:55:00.001+08:00

Yesterday I was just playing around Facebook and saw that Guan Yin Mah has a Facebook account, wah she quite popular got 2,911 friends, more popular than me for sure..her sibling is Hup Soon Kong Labuan, din say how old she is but she born Feb 19th, she got her own email oso and hmm forgot to see what games she like to play.

I did a search and found that God also has a page, so does Jesus and Mother Mary, not sure about Allah, let me check now........

Allah dun have. Nabi Mohd also dun have....

In this case, I think I have to side with the Muslims, I feel that followers or worshippers can create websites and name them e.g., I Pray to God, or I believe in Guan Yin etc that is fine but to impersonate as the deities and act like God or Jesus, that does not seem right.

Just weird.....

Sex, where should we go for it??

2010-10-01T00:28:00.001+08:00

This question crossed my mind recently, when people break up with their partners, where do they go for sex?? I mean other than your right hand......Some people have no problems paying for them but then seriously let's look at all the "downside" of it apart from having to fork out money. There is the cleanliness factor, kinda like eating from the floor of public toilet, ewwww.

Am I grossing everyone out, well i hope not coz i think it is a "need" that has to be addressed and we are not kids la so never mind can talk about things liddis.

Anyway while writing this I also wonder where do women (who do not have a partner) go for sex? Do they just ask from their guy friends or girl friends (if they are lesbians)? I have friends who find guys online and well you know the rest...

I however think there is a risk factor there, quite dangerous la, meet someone online then go just meet in hotel room....there are so many unknowns, they could be rapists, and what about STDs, who have these people been with, are they clean???

Hmm...

A post for me!!

2010-09-29T00:51:00.002+08:00

I want to write again...

writing has always been my passion, never knew if I was any good, but I loved doing it anyway. When I was in my teens I kept many many diaries, found some of them when I went home to my parent's house.

Haha, I should have brought them with me and share with you some things that I had written when I was younger.

One thing that really stood out about me was I used to think I look good, lol.

Every single day there will be at least an entry telling myself the I look pretty. Some are just simple statements like:-

Today I bought myself a hair clip, I think I look pretty with my hair clip behind my ears.

Bought a new dress for the party tonight, wow I look good.

Yup most of my entries were filled with what I did daily at school, my extracurricular activites after school like swimming and girl guides and of course my daily thick skin comment of how pretty I think I look.

Don't get me wrong I never thought I was drop dead gorgeous, of course I wasn't, still am not but I did think I wasn't too bad looking.

Today is the beginning of a new chapter in my life. Today is mine!

My narcissistic sibling ^.^

2010-09-28T22:36:00.000+08:00

Growing up with a sibling who is extremely sensitive to personal criticism can be very hard. I have learn over the year to bite my tongue and keep our conversations superficial. Ever since we were young my mom would always tell me to "not upset my sister". Honestly, I have to admit I did feel somewhat resentful towards her when we were growing up, always having to tip toe around her, otherwise she would burst into tears. Something which she does a couple of times on a daily basis.

Therefore, having that "experience" under my sleeve when I meet with friends who are the same way, I feel that I am better able to handle the situation. Currently, I have one such friend whom I think has NPD, I use to annoy her by shopping for clothes in places that she shops. She hates that for she wants to always be the one wearing unique stuff, and she wants to convince us all that she is the only one that can afford to shop in that particular shop. When bored, having narcissistic people around can be tons of fun, look on the bright side, they always provide topics for us to gossip.

Asthma and my dad

2010-09-28T22:31:00.002+08:00

Asthma has always been a big thing in my family, my dad is asthmatic and from a very early age I had watched him trying different types of medication. Most to no avail. It is hard watching some who is having an asthma attack. They look like a fish taken out of water or a drowning fish if ever there was such a thing.

I often wonder if it was due to the fact that his asthma was made worse by his going to temples frequently, surrounded by joss stick smokes. Or perhaps the place where he worked, where there were many smokers around him.

I used to think my sister gone crazy liao..

2010-09-28T22:30:00.001+08:00

In the middle of the night I see my mom sponging my sister, trying to cool her down and her whole body was shaking, eyes turning white like she was in some kind of trance. I am not sure if my mom was suppose to or not, but she tried prying my sister's mouth open and stuck her finger in it. She explained to me later that it was to prevent my sister from biting her own tongue during the fits.

I am not too familiar with fits at that time, well I was only 5 years old then. I remember well that the only thought that went through my head when I saw my sister in that condition was that she had gone crazy. I often wondered if there was a better way to treat fits then merely sponging and sticking your hand into someone's mouth

Being a mom..

2010-09-28T22:29:00.001+08:00

If someone were to ask me what is the worse feeling in this world I can tell you without blinking my eye that would be when you are caring for a sick child. Spending sleepless nights watching them when they have a fever, being so afraid that they might stop breathing. All the illogical fears swimming around in your mind, is it meningitis, or some deadly virus attack....

Are they gonna be ok? You sit there and pray, please god let it be me, don't let my child suffer, take their pain away and let it be me. So I guess it is really good to read up on the different childhood illnesses and arm yourself with the right information so your would not worry yourself unnecessarily.

No plastic bag, nothing yunno, just take the pau onto her bare hands and walk out the door.

Sheesh

Life is not fair

2010-07-03T07:57:00.000+08:00

I have this cousin who is poor and when her boyfriend made her pregnant, the whole kampung made a lot of noise, all the relatives were talking behind her back, sneering at their family, saying she is a slut and all kinds of nasty things.

Then later another cousin who is rich got his girlfriend pregnant. No one said anything, in fact they treated the girl like she was a princess, and they went out of their way to do cook her nice food, and take care of her, telling her how pretty she was now that she is pregnant and the baby will be gorgeous etc etc.

Why the double standard?? Why when rich people carry fake bags or wear fake accessories (watches, bracelets, necklace) people will assume it is real and when poor people spend thousands of dollars on a real LV bag, people will still think they bought it at Petaling Street.

When rich people do something out of the ordinary, they are called eccentric, when poor people do the same thing, they are called crazy.

I remember when I was in school, the rich kids had all the best things, they had the coolest pencil box, school bags, hair clips and their color pencils came in a tin box (36 or 48 count) whereas mine was cardboard (12 count) that had a swan or something like that bought from the nearby chai tiam mah (sundry shop). Anyway the teachers suck up to them, they chose them for everything from representing the schools, in poem readings to any kind of competition you can think of, also they treat them much better then us poor kids.

Bottom line I learnt that if your father is a doctor, or lawyer or he drives a Mercedes or BMW to pick you up or better still you had a driver, then you are treated very well in school. If you dad comes in an old honda motorbike.........well i guess we are considered less than human.

Oh and rich kids get to play tennis, poor kids we play badminton or table tennis.

Why are you calling him Hunny????

2010-07-01T07:54:00.000+08:00

Nowadays when I Facebook hop, I see all these youngsters calling each other, hun or sweetie. Feels a little bit weird to me. Especially when a girl calls a guy that and they are like just friends. I think I am just old fashioned la....so this is merely my own two cents.

Honestly I really cannot recall myself when I was younger ever doing such things.
Why would you call a guy "hun" unless you and him are in a relationship, sweet words like sayang, baby, hunny, sweetie, shouldn't they be reserved for your man only??

Again like I said maybe I am old school, cause I never would call a guy darling, or baby unless he IS my man.

Words become cheap and meaningless when you throw them around like that, calling any guy baby, darling, hunny....just...I dono....seems weird to me.

Anyway just expressing something I did not quite understand.

Note: I am not referring to those people who are jesting and jokingly call larling, or something like that, those we know are just joking and it is different.

Chau Khuan (Bad manners)

2010-06-26T08:43:00.004+08:00

From very young my marder owes teach me, you may like something but it dun mean you have to sapu (take) all of it. Usually she referring to food la coz I am quite greedy. Now I see some friends hor, for example their kids like to eat drumstick (which kid doesn't right?) anyway when say you go out togeder and order a plate of chicken, they will immediately dig dig and terus take like all the drumsticks for their kids, whether the kid can finish eating onot they gia seng (take first).

I really cannot stand this kind of inconsiderate parents who don't stop to think, your kid like, my kid and other people's kid oso like what. Be more considerate la.

Or when you go out together and order dishes, whatever they like to eat wan they gasak (take) a lot. That is really not right oredi.....you like or you dun like, just take your share of the portion. If we go out two or three families and we order salt and pepper shrimp kam out, each family should be aware of your own family's portion. If divided equally each person suppose to have 4 pieces of shrimp and you go take like 15 shrimps then you are depriving the other families of their shrimps.

Seriously you take your share and then if there is leftover, people see you like to eat until lidat hor, they sure say "go ahead go ahead you can have it all" but DUN start piling your plate before everyone has taken their share.

Sigh some people just sneo ka ka kee nia, think of ownself only, never learn wan.

Why, why, why...do women forgive??

2010-06-24T14:02:00.002+08:00

Recently a friend of mine who is a 65 years old woman told me this and I really do not know what to think of it.
When she was young she met this guy, fell in love, married him and they started out poor, she was one of those women who would take the bus, sit by the roadside to share a bowl of instant noodles with the man she love. So basically when they had no money, she stood by and supported her man, he became rich, very rich and guess what he did, of course he found another woman....same old story I guess...

But as with many marriages in that era, people dun divorce, the men just had multiple mistresses, the wife remains the wife on paper. So he went to live with that woman and bought her house, land, basically gave her all the comforts of life that his 1st wife helped him acquire. Now 40 some years later, he is in his late 70s...ill and have all kinds of ailments his mistress is no longer interested in him, so she kicked him out of the mansion he bought her and sent him packing.

The first wife, after all that he did to her, said to me "When I see him so frail I feel sorry and am contemplating going back home to look after him"

My mouth just dropped, I wanted to shake her and yell HEELLLLOOOOO!!!!! HE LEFT YOU WOMAN!! HE LEFT YOU TO FEND FOR YOURSELF!!! Now you have a good life in the United States, you have a secure job, you even taught yourself how to drive and you are an American citizen now!!! You can find ANOTHER MAN!!!! Why why why for gawd sake do you want to give that all up and go back to care for the man who left you hanging???????

The sad thing is inspite of all that "yelling" in my mind, I really don't know.....if I truly love a man, I too might make the same stupid decision she is thinking of. For women who have never had their man betray them, they will talk big and say things like "Wah if he do lidat hor, I cut his bird and his balls off, I will kick him out" bla bla bla.

All I can say is you can talk big all you want, when you are not in that position you never know.

Today is an overall crappy day, well it started ok, I was doing my work and being productive and I even manage to finish all my slides for my class. Then crappiness set in for no good reason, I stopped to watch a movie called The Namesake, and that show had me suddenly bursting into tears and missing my dad. To hell with everything I thought, so many years spent away from home, where was I when he needed me, now there is my mom and I want to be with her and look after her, but I cannot as yet. Will this be another regret of my life? She is not going to live forever.

I want to go home, I want to take care of her, I dun want it to be "having to go home coz she is sick" situation again, I want to be there when she is well but how can I.

He keeps telling me I am wrong, I cannot look back I have to live for the future and that means being away from home. I don't agree, I don't agree, this is wrong so wrong yet........

Then later I yelled at someone....let's leave it at that.

I cannot handle this anymore, I dono what to do, yet there seemed to be little I can do except stick it out.

2010-03-14T00:55:00.003+08:00

It is very frustrating when the people you have been living with for the past 10 years or more do not know what you like and dun like to eat. I mean please lar know me for so long liao still dono I like to eat wat. I dun expect people who are close to me to know everything that I like or dislike but at least know my favorite or things that I never eat or hardly eat.

For instance, I seldom take curry-like stuff with santan or milk coz I will lausai up to my yinyang. So please lar dun take me to eat those stuff and say I like it. Very sien yunno......

Another example, we are friends, good friends, and we go out so often, eat time we order dessert I will order cake and you order pie, I tell you I don't like pie, you know very well I dun like pie, so why on my birthday you buy a pie for me??? Why lar do lidat??

You got herpes ar, how now?

2010-02-10T06:29:00.005+08:00

What if someone you really like or perhaps even love, you've been going out for awhile and you get along great, and that person could possibly be someone you could fall in love with.
What if he/she suddenly confess that they have some STD like herpes, or gonorrhea or something like that. Would you still go ahead and pursue a relationship with the person?
Can you not help thinking, errr...this person most likely sleep around a lot that is why get it? Although that is not necessarily true, coz I have seen in movies that sometimes u may not sleep around but the person you slept with may have, so quite unfortunate for you la. I mean people with STDs can be perfectly nice, good people right?
Like I watched a movie about this girl, she is a virgin, and went to a party, slept with the guy she had a crush on. One time and one time only, unprotected, and she contracted HIV coz he was HIV positive and did not know it, he slept around, but she did not. She got it anyway, and she was not like someone who sleeps around.
Same goes for STDs I am thinking. So the question now is, other than the STD thing, this person is truly a great person, would you still pursue a relationship with him or her? Would you sleep with him or her?

How was it for you?

2010-02-02T00:29:00.002+08:00

After you (blank) with someone and you ask them "How was it for you?" and they reply "It was good and relaxing" how would you react??? Relaxing????? HUH? Yes, they describe it as relaxing. That is not a good sign right? I think they threw in the "good" part just to make you feel better and well the relaxing part, I dun even know what that means. How can (blank)-ing be relaxing? Can it? Does it sound like the both of you have chemistry and are gonna (blank) again any time soon?

First you pull down my blouse then you leave me wet...

2010-01-25T06:18:00.007+08:00

This story I will share with you because I cannot believe it happened to me. I just came home from a hair salon, first I thought it was going to be your ordinary hair salon experience but I was wrong. At first things seemed normal, I walked in and told the lady there I wanted to do hair treatment.

Hair Salon Lady: Hi welkam welkam, wat do you want to do today?

Kopi Soh: Hair treatment

HS Lady: Which one you want?

Kopi Soh: Oh you have different kinds?

HS Lady: Yes, yes one if 15 dollar the other is 10 dollar

Kopi Soh: Wat's the different?

HS Lady: One is 15 dollar and the other is 10 dollar, different 5 dollar

My thoughts: Pursuing this conversation any further would be futile, liao lat.

Kopi Soh: Oh ok I take 15 dollar becoz i got kooporn for 4 dollar off.

She smiled then led me to a chair, asked me to sit down and before i knew what happen she put her hand in my blouse (behind lar) and pull one shoulder down....

Hair Salon Lady: Wah your tattoo.......

and she start touching my shoulder, .......well most of you who know me well know that I DO NOT like to be touched.

She must have seen the horror in my eyes cause she stopped immediately and apologized.

Long story short, treatment done 30 mins later, she sat me down, and said "Ok all finished can go home now, 15 dollar"

My hair was still soaking WET!!!!!!!!!!!!! See????????

Today I fell in love........

2010-01-24T15:35:00.006+08:00

This afternoon I went shopping armed with good intentions. I needed work clothes you see and I had none. However, as I had not worn work clothes in ages, I wandered around lost and clueless. The work that I do is kinda tricky, I cannot wear too nice and I cannot wear too shabby either...sigh.

Anyway look what I ended up with, I saw a cap and fell in love with it at first sight. All good intentions were forgotten........Ok i know my taste can be weird so if any of you dun like it, kindly keep your mouth shut. Dun spoil it for me.

The primary construction of this hat is from washed cotton canvas, and it is carefully distressed for an edgy look of real attitude (hehe) This hat also features black and grey paneling stitched with oversize threads for an aggressive lean.

Look at the green brim, which is tipped in a brown off-kilter patch. The whole hat is potassium sprayed for a truly vintage look.

I just could not resist, so hopeless lar me :(

Kopi Soh question of the day to self.....Is it possible to have chemistry online but not when you meet up in real life?

Responses were mixed so I thought to myself, how can we increase our chances of making our first date with someone we met online successful. Surely we have to prepare just like we would any first date.

So now the moment has finally arrived, you are ready to meet your online "honey". You have been intimately chatting for a few months now....how should you go about it?

Personally I think the key to success is flexibility. Also if can choose some neutral and non stressful environment to meet....ok lar i offer my kopitiam for your dating venue. Kopi shop is a good non stressful place i think. Sometimes your online honey can turn out to be somewhat different from the real person, not necessarily a bad thing. Aiya of coz webcam time look sexy lar since kenot see big butt and thunder thighs or that he wear cap kenot see bald spot etc etc. Also online there is a tinge of fantasy there, therefore in our mind the person will look better.

Chats are more relaxed online than in reality so make sure you plan to do an activity togeder, not just drink kopi then sit and stare and hit moskito. But dun plan too many things becoz if your online honey turn out to be really ewwww in real life then you wanna cut short the date, "sorry ya i got to go home and get beauty sleep, if i dun sleep at 9 o'clock i get pimple".

But do plan one or two things that you can do after drink kopi. I think a movie might be best, then you can talk about it afterwards, or perhaps can go to an event, also a good thing coz can talk talk later about it. Or do some activity like ice skating....

Dun let the date drag on too long, and dun rush into anything, just enjoy.

But sometime no matter how hard you prepare, the chemistry just not there I guess, no harm done we just move on to the next one....nia lor

Just dun be rude, not nice if you tell people they are too ugly or too boring. Just becoz no spark sometime can still be fren...people who make you tulan in real life can still be very charming and witty in an online relationship. So be honest but dun be hurtful, not nice to tell people sorry i dun like your face so kenot be friends with you.

Got Ean?

2010-01-19T02:18:00.004+08:00

Recently I went to a fortune teller with my friends. It seems that the number one question most single women of all ages ask is tee si wa eh ean kao, when will I meet "THE ONE". And the fortune teller will tell you.....the thing is I think most people dun realize that "ean" is not singular, we dun have just one ean, we have many many eans. Eans are just people with whom we have some connection with. There are past eans, present eans and future eans.So the thing is just because you are attached does not mean that that is the end of you meeting your eans. I think it is very important that people realize this. Why? Because throughout our lives we are going to meet other people whom we are attracted to. The problem lies not in the attraction, there is nothing wrong with that, but rather how you handle the attraction. If you are attach and you realize you are attracted to someone else, it is truly up to you to make sure that you make an effort to keep a distance and dun let anything ignite. Creating opportunities of contact (e.g., texting, webcaming, emailing, phoning, meeting for lunch, dinner, study dates, after work drinks, etc) with that person would be like playing with fire.

The decision is always YOURS!

I was doing online research for an article and came across this site, many questions crossed my mind, is online sex considered cheating? If you were the spouse would you hire someone to see if your spouse was cheating online? What if you suspect it what would you do? If you found out your spouse or partner was having an online affair what would you do? Close an eye? Close two perhaps... Spoke to some friends and their replies were divided. One group said, oh it is just online so dun matter, another said no it is not ok.

My cheater said:
"I don't start the conversations on the IM,
I only respond after she starts talking first"

My cheater said:
"I thought about you the whole time it was happening"

My cheater said:
"With every one of them, I fantasized it was you"

My cheater said:
"She's a good friend of my mother"

My cheater said:
"I missed you and she looked like you"

My cheater said:
"The only reason i was talking to her was about us"

Asian condoms too small.....REALLY AR??

2010-01-09T01:09:00.009+08:00

Yesterday I heard something that I thought was total BS but cannot be 100% sure la since I have never had a Caucasian man before.

Chinese Girl: I am not on the pill

Caucasian Boy: Oh...

Chinese Girl: Do you mind if you use the condom?

Caucasian Boy: Err...I guess I can but....

Chinese Girl: Yes?

Caucasian Boy: Asian condoms are too small for me, not comfortable at all

Hmmmm....my mind is yelling "BBUUULLLLLSSHHHHHIITTTTTTTT" but I really do want to give him the

benefit of the doubt. I remember clearly one time my friend blew up a condom and it got pretty big, in fact I think a whole medium size papaya can fit into the condom, but I cannot be sure as I do not have a condom at hand to try it. Another friend

commented that the condom can stretch 5 inches in width, I trust him. The Chinese girl seemed really excited at the suggestion that this man might be well-endowed, I dun wan to break her bubble but I am curious if there was any truth in his claim, that Asian condoms are too small for an ang mor. I googled as

usual and found this claim in a forum:-

Asian condoms are very very small... My wife traveled to Singapore last week and brought me home a

cool three-pack of condoms. So we whip them out and I try one (chinese writing on the box, ect...) It nearly cut off the circulation to my Moby. They are for sure way smaller than American condoms. This got me thinking, are the condoms in Africa super big, so big they would fall off my penis? Just a question...

Then I found this site, http://geniusbeauty.com/men-and-women/breaking-12-myths-about-condoms/ which says it is a myth

I think I was possessed!!!

2010-01-05T18:08:00.006+08:00

I thought long and hard before I wrote this post for it is personal and embarrassing but then I thought to myself, aiya never mind la dis wan all fren fren here, paiseh for what. Today when I was going through my stuff I found this.

I cannot believe I bought this, seriously wat possess me to buy dis? Hey dun laugh k, at that time I was all excited at the Hustler sex shop and dinno wat to buy coz dildo too expensif la, so I thought oh cool dis is within my budget. But lau sit kong (to be frank) I oso thought...errrr perhaps.......

Neber mind anyway, my friends who were with me were giving me rather strange looks and one of them even remarked rather smugly

"My husband ar.. very happy with me, I do my kegel exercises....no complains there"

In my mind I was like "ok lar, u very holiao, and mine I suppose lorry go in oso can make U-turn kam out"

But i din use lar, still not chyet open, anybody wan it? PM me nobody will know, I plomis not to tell. Have any of you ever bought something so embarrassing when you look back you can only claim temporary insanity or that you were possessed when you bought it.

P/S If reli embarrassing can share as "anonymous" LOL

I think blogs have a mind of their own. The owner starts off writing because of whatever reason and they think the blog is gonna be such and such. Usually ends up the blog takes on a life of it's own and in turn brings its owner on a totally different direction than when it first started out.

For myself, I started off after my dad passed and I hit a stone wall grieving, needing an outlet, my good friend Mumsgather introduced me to blogging. I wanted to be like her, I admired her writing and so I started out writing as an overseas mom and wife. I quickly found out something, I was not very good at either. Somehow, I evolved, starting off with the name Firehorse and along the way become Kopi Soh. Now I am on a new road.....the past year while I stopped blogging many things have happened in my personal life, deaths, separation, depression, love, etc. So here I am...BACK!!

Back to share my experiences and to talk about all things taboo in our society. Nothing is off limits here, this is the new me!! :D Some topics will touch on things like sex, infidelity, divorce, mistresses, taboo relationships, homosexuality, to name a few, so please be forewarned, if you are easily offended or the "holier than thou type" feel free to leave. Also my langugae will not be censored for I will write anything that comes to mind, keeping it real. So to all my hawkers who have stuck by me through thick and thin, TENGKIU........AI YAM BAAAAAAAACCKKKKK!!!!

Declaring my Love For Old Malaysian Movies

2008-10-05T12:57:00.004+08:00

I grew up watching Siput Sarawak, P.Ramlee, S Roomai Noor, Ummi Kalthoum, Saloma, Aziz Sattar, Sarimah, S Shamsuddin, Normadiah, Ibrahim Pendek. Initially I had wanted to write about P. Ramlee films but decided not to, instead I have some of the lesser known movies that I absolutely LOVE and up till this day still etched in my memory.

Does anyone remember Latifah Omar as the good Bawang Merah, Umi Kalthom as the bad Bawang Putih, and Mustapha Maarof as the Prince.
The story takes place in a simple village household. The head of this family has two wives, and each wife has their own daughter. Bawang Merah and her mother are jealous of the attention the father gives Bawang Putih and her mother. When the father dies, Bawang Merah and mother take charge of the household and bully Bawang Putih. Bawang Putih’s mother stands up for her daughter but she soon dies prematurely, in some versions due to sickness and in some versions due to the intentional malice of Bawang Merah's mother. Anyway the story involves a talking fish, a magic swing, a handsome Prince and best of all a happy ending. If you haven't watched it before, you definitely have to go rent the video.
Also being a fan of horror movies how can I not mention the infamous SUMPAH ORANG MINYAK. I think several versions of this legendary creature exists. In the 1956 movie which P.Ramlee directed and acted in, the orang minyak was a man who was trying to win back his love with magic was somehow cursed. Apparently the devil offered to help him and give him powers of the black art but in return he had to rape 21 virgins within a week (with the help of Tongkat Ali, of course, hehe, no lah just kidding!!)
Then I found this information, apparently 'in the 1960s, the orang minyak supposedly lived around several Malaysian towns raping young women. The orang minyak of the 1960s was described as human, having a naked body covered with oil to make it difficult to catch. However, there were also stories of the orang minyak where it was supposedly supernatural in origin, or invisible to non-virgins (possibly from the oil) or both. The mass panic has also led to unmarried women, typically in student dormitories, borrowing sweaty clothes to give the impression to the orang minyak that they are with a man. Other defences supposedly include biting its left thumb and covering it in batik'.
Then there is the story of Patung Chendana, involving an ugly hunchback. Everyday he would go to the pond and one day while it was raining I think he found this lovely patung of a woman and brought her home, tending to her so lovingly that she became human and granted him good looks and riches but this man abused her love and so the patung ran away, (of course now human) realizing his mistake he chases after her but was too late she had already turned back into a patung and he became a poor hunchback again.
Finally, there is the pontianak movies where a young female hunchback, is transformed into a beautiful woman by magic, but after sucking out snake venom from a bite received by her husband, she becomes a vampiric Pontianak. When the Pontianak tries to transform her daughter into one of the undead, the creature is destroyed when a nail is driven into her skull.
This one got series, after Pontianak, got Dendam Pontianak, Pontianak Kembali, Pontianak Gua Musang. But sssshhhhh better not talk about the Pontianak too much, night time coming......

This is one many things I love about being a Malaysian....we are a people of vivid imaginations and loads of superstition.

Last few days have been very unsettling for me, many things have happened that threw me off my usual self. I try to focus and get my mind set straight, it's not easy but I am managing. On top of all dat I went for an interview and I really dunno how it went. It was very unexpected, the interview lasted more than an hour, there were two interviewers there and they kept throwing scenario after scenario at me, then they asked if I minded working by myself in a deserted building, and I told them that as long as when I kam out there is no one waiting with a gun to shoot me, and they said well we kenot guarantee dat....I was like "huh"?

On a different note:-
Sometimes I wish I could just go somewhere far far away and hide away, a place where sadness kenot find me. Is there such a place? I know you think I am such a disappointment..........can't seem to do anything right, most of the time no matter how hard I try, somehow I always manage to screw things up.........if this were a Hindustani movie, this wud be the part where I go run bare footed in the mountain singing sad song, then the rain will fall and i will be drenched and of course I will slip off a muddy slope, tumble down "bloong, bloong, bloong" like a thor ewe thang (oil barrel) and eventually knock my head on a rock then blood all kam out..........peepul will sent a search party for me and when they find me too late liao, got pneumonia *batuk batuk batuk*.......but still when i see you I wud crawl out of bed...... fling myself at your feet, beg, and howl..... "O kekanda ku payung intan seribu berlian, maafkan dinda".......oops sori wrong script.
But dis wan not Hindi movie so I just keep quiet and cry myself to sleep.......whatever you decide........as long as you are hapi.

Dis is mai hair......der one on mai head wan

For the next few days I will be here...........sleeping in here................I really love the outdoors, well, anywhere near a body of water that is. A lake, an ocean, waterfalls, lagoons.......... Every year without fail I will go camping by the beach with my frens at least once. I love listening to the waves crashing. Sleeping under the stars looking up some how it takes me to another world, then I would get up really early before the world awakens, go for a jog or walk and see what treasures the sea has brought me the night before.

Since I kenot do dis..........

I might as well..........looking forward to just relaxing.......ahhhhhhhhhhh

Size oso matters.....yunno

2008-02-15T01:49:00.011+08:00

Most of mai hawkers oredi know that sometimes I do dis. Just like cocka when bored with plain milk then crave for sitoberi milk, chocolat flavor or vanilla. Well I am the same, I will be good for awhile and then the desire grows too strong and I will be on the prowl again. Thinking of how good it was the last time, I kenot tahan liao, so last night I went out searching. But this time feel a bit more guilty because the last time I did this was maybe a couple of months ago. Dun look so smug I am sure most of you oso wan it, it's just that I blog it out nia.........
The fun part is deciding if you want something different each time or go back for the usual.......I know I like tall and dark but sometimes short and peh peh (fair) oso ok depend on the mood.
Hehe, most of you oso know that I kenot have just one, owes must have two...........trust me it's reli better when you have two togeder, I mean one is fine but two better lar.
To me size matters too, I mean you reli dowan like too big grande, and you dowan too small either coz kenot sextify you, dat wan is for sure oredi
So on this Valentine's Day I decided that I wan the tall, dark and cool and oso wan anarder wan that is a little well..........how do i put it rounded (as suituapui puts it - extra lemak). Boy am I glad I choose to have two togeder coz I reli had a great time with both.

My tall, dark and cool

and my rounded.............mmmmm

Sigh, now you know why I say size matters, if I have the grande Starbucks hor I have to work out extra hard at the gym.......but worth it oso. Wud I do it again? You bet!!!! Anyone wan the cream puff help yourself, please.

Turning Cocka's fantasy into a nightmare....

P/S I will be on-call for both Valentine's Day and Valentine's Eve, will keep you posted if anything interesting happens. I figured since I am not celebrating I might as well work on both days. To be honest I do like working on days when others are off like New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, Christmas, etc. Beats sitting at home.........

2008-02-10T05:03:00.000+08:00

I think Valentine's Day is one big scam becoz eberiting is so expensif. Seriously if my man wan to take me out on dis day hor I will say "dowan" , better we tar pau (pack) pood & drink, bling a blanket go 2 der beach at sunset and eat. No nid to wait long time for table and make reservation at lestorlan. If he wan to gip me flawer i will say "no nid" becoz flawer wil cost triple dat day & gip me flawer 4 wat, flawer wil die wan so it mean ur luv 4 me oso will die? I akcerli prefer if he gip me lup song. I can listen and listen and listen, the wording so nice, my heart wil feel warm and eberitime i listen to der song i will limember. See lyk dis guy here (by the way according to him, he still single and available), tell me honestly if he your boyfren u hear dis song he compose musik & lyrik just for u, u tink u won't melt kah? Sum more he "tattoo" his love for u in his heart wor.........

So Just To Let You Know - Words & Music by cibol

Verse 1:
I’d like to close my eyes and feel the warmth of your hands
I’d like to be endured in this never-ending dream
The thought of you made it possible
The longing is so incureable
And I .. believe

chorus :
It’s like a tattoo in my heart
I can never let it go
So hard to be apart
So just to let you know
I can’t live without you by my side
Won’t ever think of letting go
So just to let you know
I love you so …

verse 2 :
Riding through the crossroads of my life
I find myself just lost inside this misery
Then came along a ray of wonderous sillhouette
You shine upon my life and now I’m freed
And I … believe

Bridge :
And I can think of a million lies
When it comes to loving you
But i can’t stand to fool myself anymore
Cause you’re the one i want
I can never let you go …

"Valentine's Day coming liao u got no date ah.... why you so choosy?"

2008-02-08T10:00:00.000+08:00

To me dis statement is one of the most dreaded statement anyone can make to a single gal/guy next to "You look so prosperous". Why do people say it when they don't really mean it? What they truly wan to say is "Hei you are not such a great catch either so you better settle for that guy with the gold tooth or that cross-eyed girl before it's too late". I reli hate dis statement, I mean single people are no more choosier than the rest of the population, single people like anyone else have their likes and dislikes so why label them as choosy just because they are not attached yet. Does anyone truly believe that people are not able to see thru these sugar coated statements? Are we that blind????? Like when you tell me, "I look prosperous" do I not know that what you truly meant was "Wow you've gotten really fat"????? Did you really expect me to feel flattered? Do we look like idiots? Why do people say things like that and then convince themselves that they are being tactful? Sheeesssshhhh!!!

I just gotta say........

2008-02-06T14:30:00.000+08:00

For all the good luck wishes.....and yes my son did win. (Also thanks for agreeing with me that my bekside should never be used as face skin)

I just received an e-mail from the Science Olympiad head coach. Apparently they can only send in 2 people from my team to compete, the remaining person will have to be an alternate. They choose my son and Girl A to compete and Girl B will be on standby. When my son saw the Head Coach's decision he immediately said "Mom I would like to give up my spot for Girl B, in my life I will get many more medals in future. My friend Girl B will be so disappointed if she does not get to compete also she truly deserve this because she has studied very very hard." My heart almost burst with pride and as I am writing this my tears keep falling, I am so proud of my son, to me we have already won, all my life I've been trying to teach him that being smart is not everything, you have to have heart and tonight he has shown me that he has the most important thing in life and that is compassion.

Note to Kopi Boy:
If you are reading this know that I am so very very proud of you!!!!

Next time wanna use my bekside....let me know 1st!!

2008-01-31T03:03:00.000+08:00

I reli dun understand how some people can use other people's kha ch'ng as their bin phuai (face skin). I am not angry just veri puzzled and disappointed with dis person. Those peepul went to her, hoping for her support, they looked up to her but she did not do anything, so I took matters into my own hands and did it. Now people are telling her how wonderful she is and how they appreciate what she had done, etc etc and not one time did she come clean and own up that she wasn't involved. How can she stand there smiling, nodding and accept all those compliments when she did not do anything?
Anyway, to me watz important is that the thing got done, I dun reli care if peepul know or not, not a big deal but i do care dat she use my kha ch'ng cho ee eh bin phuai. All I ask is that she be truthful, she does not have to give me credit for I know she has no idea who is responsible but at least tell the truth, tell those people that it wasn't her.

P/S I noe I wasn't sapose to post aniting but dis i kenot hold bek, just had to blog it out and get over it, now i can let go and concentrate on wat's important.

2008-01-28T07:53:00.000+08:00

I will be up to my neck in cranial nerves, nervous system, circulatory system, cardiovascular system, diseases, and disorders of the different systems. It's a long story why & how this came up so suddenly, but I reli dun wanna bore anyone so I won't go into any details. Those of you who noe me oso noe that I am fiercely competitive and will do everything to win.............so boh pian (no choice) from today onward no blogging till after competition day.

Yours Kiasu-ly,

As the Chinese New Year approaches I can't help it but my thoughts turn to you. I wonder if you will be alone. Your family is so far away. Will you have someone to eat dinner with on New Year's eve? I know you have your many friends but they have their families and when they are having their reunion dinner where will you be? Not alone I hope.
Sometimes you seem to appear happy going about with your daily life, I don't know maybe it's just my imagination but I keep sensing the loneliness behind your "I'm ok"s. Even when your words are cheerful I can't be sure for I can't see if your eyes are smiling.
I really do admire you for trying to be brave, seldom complaining and braving life alone. It is hard to be alone especially when everyone around you seems to have someone to come home to or at least someone to tell if they've had a good or bad day.
I wish.......I wish I could be there for you and help make things a lil better but I can't, not now at least. The ironic thing is I also know that it is not me that you want beside you, but that doesn't change the way I feel. I may not be good enough but I am still willing to be there for you until you can be with the ones that you love...............so to whom it may concern I wish you a very Happy Chinese New Year and may this year bring you more happiness.

A song, an award and a tag

2008-01-23T04:37:00.000+08:00

At the gym 2day......they were playing dis song "One Nite in Bangkok" in full blast, dunno if any of you will be old enuf to remember it but i sure do..

and i remember doing dis I am also dancing becoz i was given dis award by Ling That's Me.

Tankiu, tankiu........In turn I wish to pass this award to jozefoo, constance chan, wen, sasha and David (akk). At first I dinno wat "bodacious" mean so I looked it up and it mean outstanding, gutsy, bold, audacious, remarkable but it can also mean sexy or voluptuous. So take your pick, hehe.
I was also Tagged by Dancing Queen, she wants to know if i do dis or not.
Here's my answer:-
Even before I had my son I had already decided how I was gonna discipline him, I have a very low tolerance level for tantrums, lying, disobedience, etc, etc, but I also know that in order for a child to grow they have to test their boundaries. If my son were extremely kwai (obedient) I would be very worried. It is NOT NORMAL!!
But since I am like a kid myself, any kind of trick he tries on me I have already tried it myself, so I treat parenting as a game of wits, see who can outsmart who. I also make things simple for myself and him by laying out the rules very early on in life. Every BEHAVIOUR has a CONSEQUENCE, there are no surprises.
I make it very clear to him that I actually hate punishing him, but by disobeying he is choosing to be punished, the choice has always been in his hand.
It's not that I boh soo boh tai (no good reason) give out punishment, all these are laid out clearly. Also the punishments are generated by him. You see I actually sit down with him and ask him, if you don't do this what do you think your punishment should be? Children being very honest will often come up with the very thing that will make them sad if taken away. So for the last 13 years I have never once required the use of the rod. I have nothing against the rod, it's just that I am a strong believer that if the rod is a must then do not hit when u are angry, make sure you cool down first then ask him or her to come into the room, explain clearly why the rod is necessary and hit accordingly. The message must be clear, I am not hitting you because you made me angry, (otheriwse you are teaching your child that when someone makes them angry it's ok to hit) I am hitting you because .......(whatever the reason is that warrants the hitting).
What about other moms?
1. Miche does not spare the rod.

2. Jo-N wants to be her children's best friend.

3. Trinity wants to talk and teach the children without the rod.

4. SueSue wants to guide her kids with patience and love.

5. Dancing Queen does not spare the rod.

Since I am in a dancing mood, I won't be tagging anyone.

Tattoo guy and me

2008-01-22T00:47:00.000+08:00

Victor's comment "I didn't know you have a tattoo fetish" prompted me to write this post. Yes I do have a weakness for tattoos, especially for tan/bronzed skin guys with tattoos, they are my Achilles’ heel. Dunno lar why but they make me melt, khua liao kha pun nooi (see oredi kenot stand straight). Look at Beckham's new sleeve tattoo....... What about any of you galz? Guyz you all oso share lar, I am sure there are things other then our nen nen that makes you go weak in your knees right? Maybe some of you got weakness for long hair char bor (gal)? You all got weakness or not? Okay, okay I know some of you will be like "Oh I dun care as long as the guy or gal is good inside lar, kind lar, got sense of humor lar, etc etc., ya ya I know all those good inner quality things but for a moment let's put those aside. We all know we want those qualities oredi mah so no nid to tok abt those animore lar.

Come on share share, I am sure I am not the oni one that is shallow (hehe, or maybe I am) I mean I think most of us has some little physical thing that we have a weakness for, some people are attracted to dimples, others are attracted to maybe a cleft in the chin like John Travolta has, or hmmm i oso like Maggie Cheung because of her bunny teeth, I tot they were so cute and had always wanted to have her teeth.

Well bek to the subject of tattoo fetish, I veri sian coz last week my sister tau hor wa eh (told my) marder dat I was getting a tattoo and my marder freaked. She called me up and went "Eh lu seow si boh, cho hami boh su boh tai ai khee cho tattoo" (Eh u krazy izzit, why wanna get tattoo?) :(

Kesian me or not aneh lau liao koh tiok marder meh (so old oredi still marder skold)

Dis Sunday wat i doing

2008-01-20T00:40:00.000+08:00

Sunday FOOTBALL!!!! Yes, what better way to spend the Sunday than to watch big tar poh with tattoos loh'ng lai loh'ng khee (grown men tackle each other). I will be glued to my TV screen with a "DO NOT DISTURB" sign hung around my neck. We are one win away from the NFL Superbowl. The Chargers vs The Patriots. I oredi bought my Charger cap and my Charger tank top which i will be wearing while watching the game, hehe. One of my faves - LT #21

Look at the tatts on Hardwick #61. And yes there is a part of me that loves the aggression on the field, ummmphhh. However, one sad fact is that if the Chargers lose this Sunday, the DVERT team can expect to be called out next week. Yes home violence increase significantly during football season and especially if the home team loses. Now do you see why I have more than one reason to hope that our team wins?

Beh sai eong e-meo or text msg break up wan lar!! - UPDATED

CELLULAR PHONE DIVORCES – MALAYSIA PERMITS HUSBANDS TO DIVORCE THEIR WIVES VIA TEXT MESSAGE
By Eric J. Taylor
Abstract: A Malaysian Syariah Court allowed a husband to begin divorce proceedings by sending a text message on his cellular phone to his wife. This ruling generated an intense debate throughout the country, and initially the Malaysia government rejected the ruling outright. But later the government accepted the decision, and future divorces through the short message system (SMS) of cellular phones will be permitted.

Dunno wat to say animore - This song is for her.....

Translation of this song for bananas like me:-

Fen Shou Kuai Le - Fish Leong
Happy Breaking up

I cannot help you predict
Whether it will be useful to keep wishing hard
But I really cannot stand to see
A friend suffering so much for love

Love may not care about right or wrong
[But] at least it should make you happy and touched at heart
If he always opens his umbrella for someone else
Why should you wait for him in the rain?

[I] made coffee to warm your hands
Wishing to block the wind at the door of your heart
But you preferred to go for a walk on the streets
In the cold wind, your mind will get much clearer

You said you weren't afraid of breaking up
Just feeling a little regret and sadness
Valentine's Day is coming, [and you're] left alone
Actually if [you] love the right person, every day will be Valentine's Day

Happy breaking up, I wish you happiness
You can find a better [person]
[If you] don't want to spend time in winter, [if your] fatigue is weighing [you] down
Then fly to the tropic islands for a swim

Happy breaking up, please be happy
Only after saying goodbye to the wrong [person] can you meet the right one
Leaving an old love is like riding a slow car
When [you've] seen it through, [your] heart will become clear and free

No one can wipe away another's happiness
You swear that you will live life with a smile

You're really much more beautiful when you're confident

If I dun post anything, visit you or respond to your comments in the next few weeks, it's because my internet access has been cut. You see I have been getting a so-called promotional rate for my TV, internet and phone, flat rate of $99 for all three, unlimited phone, unlimited internet, and full TV package wif HD channels, movies, DVR, etc, etc including one or two heow heow (XXX) channels oso (then celakak, after kuarel wif them, she took off those chanels immediately, see lar u tel me got people lidat wan ah). Anyway bek to my stoli, recently the company send me a bill and apparently they said that our promotion rate no more oredi. They wanna bluff old lady wor, i just saw they advertise promotion rate on teebee. Oso everi time I had managed to "talk" them into giving me this low rate, many years liao lor, now this new char bor (woman) chin gau sneah mor (veri stubborn/irritating) dowan to give me the rate anymore, even after doing dis with her, I veri der TL so I said, suak CANCEL everything!!!! Chin beh syiok deal wif such people.......if she next to me dis is wat i will do (dis is the violent part)

And so the war begins.......soon I will be without fon, TV and internet!!!! Nia#$%&

Turtle Soup NOT sold here!!!!

2008-01-04T14:05:00.000+08:00

Do you know that Turtle soup is a soup made from the flesh of the turtle, often the endangered green turtle? In Asian countries turtle soup is a Chinese delicacy known for its rich herbal taste. The meat, skin and innards of the turtle are used in the soup.

Here are some facts from the Malaysia Wildlife Conservation Awareness Campaign:-

1)14% of Malaysia’s mammals are listed by The World Conservation Union (IUCN) as endangered
2)30 species of turtle ever discovered, only 7 are left.
3)Less than 1,500 Borneo Pygmy elephants are found in the world.
4)It is estimated that there are less than 20 Sumatran rhinoceros left in Borneo.
5)The Bornean species of orangutan is highly endangered, and the Sumatran species is critically endangered, according to the IUCN Red List of mammals, and both are listed on Appendix I of CITES.

Traditional Chinese medicine also belief that various tiger parts has medicinal properties, including pain killers and aphrodisiacs. Some aphrodisiacs appear to gain their reputation from the principles of sympathetic magic, e.g. oysters, due to their shape. This also explains the trade in the phallic-looking horn of the rhinoceros, which is endangering this animal. Other animal-based aphrodisiacs gain their reputation from the apparent virility or aggressiveness of the animal source — such as tiger penis — also endangering the species.

P/S - Post was inspired by this guy.

It's only the 3rd day of the year and already......

2008-01-04T05:24:00.000+08:00

I just came back from my 2nd case. Got the call this morning, this time the victim was a young male. Yes, men do get raped. I really admire him for coming forth and reporting it. It takes a lot of courage. Unlike the other case where the suspect was already in custody, this one is still at large.
Before I go on any further, I would like to say that normally I would respond to all comments in previous post before writing a new one but I just did not have time to do that. Sorry, I'll get around to it as soon as I can. I have also decided that much as I would like to share my feelings and experiences with you, I don't think the kopitiam is an appropriate place to talk about force penetration, semen, ejaculation, well you get the picture.
I mean all of you have been so patient, supportive and understanding - that means a lot to me. So I think since the kopitiam was meant to be a place of relaxation and talking nonsense, I am considering opening another blog where I could share my experiences with you. Talk about how a forensics exam is done, what to expect, different rape drugs, domestic violence, in short the works. Did you know that if the perpetrator inserts his penis into you, pulls it out and inserts it again, he will be charged with multiple accounts of assault? Why am I telling you this?? I don't know, I guess I am just tired and rambling......have to do my case write-up some more.

Anyway like I said earlier I really want to keep this kopitiam a place where everybody comes to relax, sembang sembang about fun stuff and drink kopi together. But if you decide that you want to journey with me into the world of sex crimes I guess you could hop over to my new blog if I do decide to open one.

What I did on New Year's day

2008-01-02T05:41:00.000+08:00

On the very first day of the year, how did I spend it? I'll share with you right now because I am so excited. The call came in at around 10.30am, no one was on duty so they wondered if I could take this case. My very first rape case, I was very very nervous, they said I did not have to respond if I wasn't ready but I thought to myself, what the heck, might as well plunge in and get my feet wet, what better way to learn right? So I agreed, I had only 20 minutes response time so I hastily threw on a pair of jeans, a black sweater and my Tesco "Converse" shoes. Threw in a bottle of water and two protein bars into my Petaling Street LeSportSac bag, all the time feeling terribly nervous, wondering what it was going to be like. Victim was a female in her early 30s. I arrived at the hospital, and was met by the forensic nurse, she took me into the interview room and the detective was already there waiting. Then the interview began, both the nurse and the detective took turns taking statements. After they were done they said I could have some time with the victim. Somehow putting myself in her shoes, she and I both connected fairly quickly and she agreed to let me be with her throughout the exam. Spend like 2 hours in the forensics room gathering evidence.
Although I had to spend my New Year's Day at the ER, I am feeling really really good. This is a great start to my new year. Before I left the detective received a call informing us that two more cases are on the way, one of the case involves the perpetrator.......so I better sign off now and grab something to eat just in case they call me back in.

And so I will wait until the stroke of midnite......

Ang Moh Lang's (Mat Salleh) New Year Superstition.

Lumber one: At midnight must chim chim (kiss kiss) and lam lam (hug hug) dis wan to make sure your relayshunship continue to be lubbing.

Lumber two: Go to chye tiam mah (grocery store) buy a lot of thing stock up so that have lots of food to eat throughout the entire year oso go to bank draw marnie put in wallet to make sure veri hock seong (prosperous) for the whole year.

Lumber twree: If khiam lang lui kah meh heng (if owe ppl marnie faster pay off otherwise forever in debt).

Lumber Four: "First footing". First person to enter your home after stroke of midnight better be hamsom or beautiful, bak chew kenot cross eyed, have flat feet or eyebrows that meet in the middle. In other words if "good looking" visitor come first day, it will set the tone for the rest of the year. So go stand outside door, if see "swee swee char boh" (pretty lady) faster ask her kam inside your house.

Lumber five: Dun let marnie, precious thing, or any other invaluable things leave your home on New Year Day. Oso kenot pay bills, return loans (all dat suppose to do before the New Year) or lend people thing otherwise you are showing your just arrived fortune the way to leave. Marnie chow kah liao. Sampah (garbage) oso kenot throw out.

Lumber six: Cheng sin sar (Wear new clothes so entire year get to wear new clothes).

Lumber seven: Make loud noise to scare evil spirits away. Suggestion:- Puak kiau (gamble) lah so easy oni, sekali "phoong" (as in mahjong) evil spirit all chow kah liao (run away).

Lumber eight: Chap jee tiam, mui khooi tua tua (at midnight, must open all door) to let old year escape so new year can kam in. A bit dangerous lar dis wan afturds kena rob.

Disclaimer: Dis wan no gallontee wan ok, even if u do everiting and marnie still dun kam dun blame me !!!!

Hapi Tumbuk Day!! - REVISED!!!!!!

2007-12-27T01:04:00.000+08:00

I dunno how many of you selebrated Menumbuk (Boxing) Day? If you live where this woman lives you'll definitely selebrate it. It is the biggest shopping day of the year. Last year we went about looking for dis..............all sold out, i tink dis year oso der same. Any luck finding it, WinniethePooh?

Cartoon by Dave Walker. Find more cartoons you can freely re-use on your blog at We Blog Cartoons.

As pointed out by some bloggers "boxing" in this case was sapose to be kotak not tumbuk!! Aiyah veri soli, dis ignorant kopi soh sudah mempersiasuaikan (Kenny Ng's term) Malaysians by making dis error. I reli tot on this day we "box" each other when we go shopping time, yunno becoz snatching tings mah. To find out the true meaning of Boxing Day I decided to google it and I found this:-

For those of you who think that "the origin of Boxing Day was to remove all boxes from the home after Christmas Day" nyeh, nyeh, nyeh, you are oso wrong.

Boxing Day 101

What is Boxing Day?

"Boxing Day is a day the higher classes gave gifts to the lower classes. Before or on December 25th people of similar class would exchange gifts to celebrate the Christmas season. Gifts were not exchanged with the lower class until the next day called Boxing Day. It is also known as St. Stephen’s Day".

Why is the holiday name Boxing Day?

"The holiday is named Boxing Day because the tradition of giving gifts of cash, food, clothing and other goods to the less fortunate were placed into boxes for easier transportation. The goods were distributed based on the family needs and their services to the giver".

I met dis ah-mazing man - Part 2

PEOPLE stop dreaming!!!

Dat wan emm si wa lar (not me).............errrrrr that was Demi Moore in Indecent Proposal..........chey, well anyway my stoli was simpler, he said after we win $2,000 dollar he wan me to go for drinks with him. As to whether I went or not, dat wan kenot tell, hehe.

I met dis ah-mazing man.....................

2007-12-18T23:20:00.000+08:00

Guess where i am right now? Never mind lar, no nid to guess i too kan cheong (excited) liao so i will telyu. I am in a hotel room in Las Vegas. Last nite i met this guy................wait wait.....aiteylu sitoli from beginning. Once upon a time in the world of the internet, a guy and a gal met in the town of Blog. they started "chatting" and soon they began to................oops *record scratching to a stop* sorry aitelyu wrong sitoli, harap maaf.................

Now for the real one..................i am in fact in a hotel room in Vegas and last nite i did meet an "ah-mazing" guy while i was puak kiao-ing (gambling). Being the "big gambler" dat i am, i was alternating between the 1 sen slots and 2 sen slots happily when suddenly this Asian guy approached me. He came up next to me and whispered "Follow me and I will show you which machine pay big marnie". I was like "huh", "wat"? He continued to beckon to me, kam kam i show u he persuaded. So I quickly tink to myself, i alone here wat if he kidnap/rape/drug me then how? But then hor reality check, dis wan is my own syiok sendiri thinking nia lar, so old oredi who wan to rape sum more? I oso look at him...............he banyak kecik lar der size sekali i tempeleng he will fly.
So i decided to follow him ....he took me from slot machine to slot machine and unbelievably we kept winning, with my marnie of course, he just sat next to me and coached. Press here, press there, bet 10 lines, pay 4 credits etc etc lar.
Each time we won "big" he said ok cash out now, we move on. Amazing isn't? He told me he's been coming to this casino for like 20 plus year oredi and know which machines pay (in my mind i tink, dis casino baru open last year nia how he kam 20+ years, hmmmm scartch head) but since i winning so much marnie wat der heck...

Anyway, we were winning, smiling, high five-ing, shake hand.......and then he made THE PROPOSAL.................he said:

"Tonight I will show you how to win $2,000 on the slots, after that will you _____________with me?"

At the rate we were going, I was winning so fast that we wud have reached $2,000 in no time so.....................wat do you think he wanted me to do with him and what do you think i did?

MWUUUUAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! To be continued.....................................

This post is gonna be "totally" in Hokkien ok, because i dowan those ang mor (mat salleh) kam and scold me. Soli to those who no speak Hokkien.

Mernah chai (tomolo) see Kamsiah Day (Thanksgiving), tapi wa emchai ha mi soo ee lang ai selebrate chit lay day. First ah, when hee lay ang mor land a see ah, Led Indian oredi oo liao mar, mana eh sai kong lu discover hee lay country. Lang beng beng tua teow (ppl clearly stay there first) lu lai jom kong si lu discover eh.
Oso ee lang land liao a si act boh tua boh say (no manners), si peh aksi kong hee lay Indian si "savage". Sum more hor, hee lay pilgrim keh si keh si chnia (pretend invite) Led Indian lai chiak pneh pneh (kam eat togeder), chiak pah liao kah lang cham (chop) see ka leow.
Mana uu issu (where got meaning), chnia lang lai chiak (invite ppl eat) turkey cham tam puk polalo (plus lil bit potato) liao kong lang eh tay (land) longchong (all) see ee lang eh. So lu kah wa kong lar cho hami soo wanna selebrate leh?

Wa tomolo oso chiak Turkey, hehe just becoz Indian tiok cham see wa em sai chiak meh?
Bo issu ((dun make sense) oso mah, wa emsee selebrate tapi wa tau chiak (i eat oso) becoz supermarket long chong bay (all sell) turkey spesial pan jee, pan jee (cheap, cheap) oso wa chin chia suka chiak sweet polalo.

(Translation dun laugh ya, dis is my best effort- Kita kesian dekat orang yang kurang faham Hokkien sebab tu kita translate sikit kat sini. Besuk adalah Hari Thanksgiving tapi kita tak faham kenapa mau selebrate hari ni. Pertama, macam mana mat salleh yang landed tu boleh cakap depa yang jumpa Amerika pada hal Red Indian sudah lama duk situ? Bila depa mai sedak sedak panggil orang Indian tu "savage" lepas tu pura pura ajak Red Indian makan, lepas makan kenyang kena bunuh.
Tambah lagi lepas makan depa cakap semua tanah Red Indian kena bagi depa. Sial betul.......makan sikit punya turkey sama kentang tanah semua kena rebut. Sebab tu kita tanya lar, kenapa mau selebrate hari ni?
Tapi besuk kita makan turkey jugak lar, tak kan Red Indian kena bunuh kita tak dapat makan? Kita tak selebrate tapi makan sebab hari ni supermarket semua jual turkey murah murah, tambah lagi kita suka sangat makan sweet potato)
