when i was young & at school, it used to be ma's problem, never mine. when i was studying in UK, i wore tights, never a problem because they're invented in such away that both socks & leggings become one. so nope, i didn't have a problem then...
problem started when i got married... yeah that is when my quest for a pair of perfectly matching socks started & It's a daily quest with hubby's pair of socks!
my hubby wears a fresh pair of socks every morning, but every night when he comes home from work, how much i knew he dumps the pair of those socks in the clothes hamper, they managed to disappear after i did the laundry...
the most unbelievable part is.. if i were to wash 2 pairs of socks at once, once dried, only one un matching pair will turn up! how frustrating could that be?
now that Laith has started school... it's a double nightmare for me. what's worst is that every after school he goes back to my PIL's house together with my nephew mike. so the socks either got mixed up with mike's or simply gone missing during transits! :(
& this problem applies to all types of socks too... be it for office type, casual type , school type or even the sport's type... what irritates me so much is that...how in the world could a pair of similar looking socks emerge from the laundry pile with different partners`meaning: different colour dots or lines!
anyhow, i gradually found solutions to both my hubby's & Laith's pairs of un-matching socks shenanigans. during laundry time, i will pair each perfect matched pair with safety pins or whenever i go out shopping for new pairs of socks for them i simply buy the exact same designs & colors! that way if the partner of one pair gone awol i just match them with the other...hahaha...

parents in denial...
this is the sequels to my post about doodles, scribbles & the like...
i thought after seeing Lau Shi regarding the matter it was basically the end of story. tapi ropenye tidak!!!
it so happened that on the following day, Laith called me up from school (using the school's public phone) to say that he's having tummy ache. since i have always been not into all this sakit trick, told him to stay on until the end of last period. about half an hour later i received another phone call from Lau Shi asking me to come and collect him from school sebab he was in such pain. so i did lah sebab Lau Shi dah call kan so percayalah.
after gathering all his stuff. Lau Shi informed me that Foo Jia Le's parents came to see her that morning expressing their tak puas hati because Lau shi did not believe their son's side of story!
eh...that is outrageous!
they were very disappointed with Lau Shi because she did not defend him & took his side! ade ke plak macam tu!? to them, their son could do no wrong...duh..hallo!? Lau Shi explained to them that she could not take sides cos she could not be certain who’s the one who is not telling the truth to which i agreed. Seriously these parents.…come on, be realistic, who wants to take blames for heaven sake~ even adults would not stand up for their mistakes…coming from a child… yeah right!
I am not a “teacher- seeing- parent” kind of person. whenever Laith comes back from school & tells me that he was caned or punished at school, I will take it that he must have done something wrong- to me teachers will not simply punish for no reasons whatsoever- well most of the time when I ask him why he’s been punished, the answer has always been – he did not do his homework, he talks during lesson or he disobeys orders. Well I think it’s fair enough that he’s punished. That’s what u call discipline at school or discipline in general.
During my school days, my parents were not those “teacher seeing parents “ themselves. My brothers & I had learned some painful lessons on that matter. If & when we were to come back from school & report to them that we were punished @ school for any reasons whatsoever, we’ll just have to face the consequences of that complaint from them- another punishment, for being punished at school!…hahaha… so once beaten twice shy…next time kene rotan lagi dengan cikgu, sumpah tak mo report kat ma & baba dah!!!
Back to Laith’s predicament, Lau Shi asked me if it was just a trick sebab takut punya pasal that Foo Jia Le’s parents came by that morning. Well I was not sure of that myself but when I took him to the clinic soon after, it was confirmed that he’s suffering from gastritis. Kesian anaku…
Anyway, in all fairness I told Lau Shi that (like Foo Jia Le) Laith too is an only child, but I do not believe in pampering him too much, cause that will only spoil him rotten in the future. I believe that you are what your children will be… if parents keep covering up for the children, memang masak lemaklah diornag ni! To me if Laith’s done something wrong, he’s done wrong,. & punishments will make him learn his lessons.
to sum it all up...
a child is like a piece of blank canvas, it’s up to the parents to put colours on it….

doodle, scribble & the like...
Yesterday Laith came back with a blue ink doodled on his white school uniform shirt sleeve. A couple of days before that there was some black marker pen ink blob of spot at the back of the same school shirt. & just about a week ago it was some kind of smeared ink mark again at the back of another shirt. When asked what happened he said a classmate named Foo Jia Le did it.
The first time it happened I could tolerate it though the scrubbing of the ink mark wasn’t that very easy. The second time, I had to soak the shirt with stain remover for about a day, yet the stain refused to come off. I asked Laith to tell his classmate if he was to do it again I’m gonna come & see him & make his mummy wash the shirt for me. & yesterday when he came back with the doodle I almost lost my head!!!
Well to be fair I did ask Laith if he had actually provoke or done anything to Foo Jia Le that had made him do such trouble….err well of course the answer was “NO, Umy I did no such thing”.
When I asked why he did not tell his teacher when it happened, he said it was between classes while waiting for the next class to begin & the next teacher to come in.
Well I guess once bitten twice shy…the third time it happened again I said I’m just so gonna see his class teacher about the matter.
So this morning after a round of golf with hubby & PIL just to calm myself down, I went to Laith’s school during his 2nd break. At first I thought I was gonna go to the boy & grab him around his collar & hang him on the wall, but of course I was not that out of my mind yet. So I went to his class teacher’s office & oh how should I put this…very proud of myself actually… this is how it went; oh before that, since the teacher's office is just next to the classroom, I asked Laith to inform Foo Jia Le that I have indeed come to settle the matter once & for all. Haha needless to say Laith proudly announced my arrival to the boy, Oh the one wicked look that I gave him was murderous, I’m telling u! & I walked away to the teacher’s office right after that…...E.V.I.L!!!;P
Anyway this is how it went;
(upon entering the office)
Me: hi Lau Shi ( that is teacher in mandarin~ my son goes to Chinese medium school), sorry to interrupt (she was marking some exercise books).
Lau Shi: oh Hi, Adam’s Mummy (@ school` Laith is Adam) how can I help u?
Me: (I went straight to the point so not to waste anyone’s time) oh just to ask a big favour of u, if u could talk to Foo Jia Le not to do this to Adam’s shirt anymore (I took out the evidence- i showed her Laith’s shirt that he wore yesterday)
Lau Shi: (was shocked to see the shirt & said) Foo Jia Le! (she looked at Laith & asked the same question as I did) have u done anything or provoke him in any way?
Laith: (of course the answer was again ) No, Lau Shi I did no such thing to him.(in mandarin)
Lau Shi: Aiya this boy, I’ve just spoken to his father just last Monday… (& asked Laith to go find the boy)
Me: sorry Lau Shi: I’m not trying to make a scene, just telling u this so that he won’t do it again…it’s a hell of a trouble to do the scrubbing on the ink mark that's all…
Lau Shi: no, no it’s ok..u should tell me..it;s only fair that I know what happened too, & Adam should have told me yesterday.. ( she went on & said Foo Jia Le is a son of a church minister but he simply doesn’t behave the way he should be, accordingly there have been quite a lot of other complains about him too)
As we walked back to the classroom, we found him (Foo Jia Le) standing against the handrail near the staircase, head down with both hands covering his face crying…. Hahaha…(sorry…that is so evil of me..but serves him right!)
When asked to put his head up he refused to do so & claimed that he did not do it & accused Laith for lying… yeah right, why did he cry if he didn’t do it then!?
well..the only reason i went to see the teacher was simply to ask him to stop ruining or marking my son's shirt. i'm not trying to stop them from playing whatsoever..knowing that they are only children & boys will be boys...if they are not boisterous what are they!? All i'm asking is just~ stop making a paper out of my son's shirt pleaseeeeeeeee!!!!

sisters in crime- best friends forever...
we were related to each other by marriage. when my youngest BIL~ k'ry married his wife sue in 2005 we hardly see each other after the wedding accept on the alternate weekends that they come back to my PIL's house, during family get together or during hari raya. we talk over the phone or ym each other occasionally...only when necessary...in short we were civilized to each other when we are in the same room under the same roof or as & when the situation calls for one.
everything changed sometime in the middle of last year, when my hubby joey & his 2 brothers jomey & k'ry (sue's hubby) got involved with the recreational paintball game, at first we thought it was just going to be a one off thing... both the game & us~ meaning me & sue. however, it turn out to be something serious when all three of them actually bought a marker (paintball gun)each.
& while we waited on the men we started to get to know each other after 3 years of our cordial greetings & updates...;P
our friendships started to bloom from one paintball game to another. i remember on the boys first game, we (sue, eyna~my hubby's sister & shia~ our niece & i) went out on all girls day out to sunway pyramid... it was a weekend before her birthday (8th of july).. i bought her a teddy bear as her present when i saw the look on her face when she first saw the bear at the gift shop, knowing full well that she loves all those cuddly soft toys stuff & true enough she loved it & the look on her face just like in those MasterCard's advertisement~priceless!!
at first the boys were not very supportive on us tagging along during the game, purely on account that it wouldn't look so macholah kan with the wives hovering around but later on thought they needed us to take photographs of them during their battle..hence we officially 'unofficially' became their war journalists / photographers..& the bonding become stronger...
from paintball, the boys ventured into playing computer games-CoD4 (Call of Duty 4)& CoH (Company of Heroes)at the cybercafe with some friends. that eventually becomes hubby's day/ night care center! this actually gives us the opportunity to hang around with each other even more often by going shopping, dining, having pedicure & manicure done @ the spa next door to the cybercafe or simply enjoying each other's company by exchanging hot gossips & stuff @ the mamak's while waiting for them ( the hubbies) to finish their games...
she is not just a friend but she is also a sister to me despite our age differences. we become each others confidante, to share our feelings, our happiness, our anger & sorrow, things that sometimes the hubbies would not appreciate nor understand.
over the months we've become much closer...
the truth is i am choosy when it comes to friends. i am the kind who would observe a potential friend whether she could actually accept the crazy part of me or not. i can be very loud & sarcastic at times...
ma used to tell me when i was young that~ "it's better not to like someone new on our first meet or instantly because usually those are the people that u tend to hang out with or the one that u can count on later & those are the people that would & could become ur best friend forever then to like a person at an instance & later just couldn't bare to see each others face for any reasons whatsoever in the end..." well what she said has proven right through out my friendships experiences...
i do not want to hurt anyone who does not understand me unintentionally...
with sue, we tolerate & understand each other well. i dunno about her but i really enjoy myself around her... she can be very innocent at times & i love that about her
of course i have friends but it's been a long time since i have a best friend...
sue is not just a sister to me now but we are sisters in crime & definitely be best friends forever! Love u sis (((mwah)))

a clasmate who is not a friend...
when i was going thru some old school photos at ma's place few months ago, i came across a couple of group photos of my classmates & i. one of those classmates was this *tut* girl who thought she's all that but of course she's not at all if u know what i mean...;P
i remember a couple of years after i got married, i bumped into her at a clinic & was kinda excited to see someone i knew from school after a long time..
so i said hello to her & even bloody remembered her name~i am rather good with names, sometimes...to which i regretted later...
to my dismay she acted as if she didn't recognize me and said..."im sorry i don't remember u...!
*tut*!!! ok i admit that i wasn't that popular at school but damn we were classmates for at least the last 2 years we were there & 5-6 years in the same *btut*tuty* school!
in my attempt to safe my embarrassment i tried to remind her of my name & which class we belonged to & mentioned some of the much popular classmates that i used to hangout with... & with her chubby *tut*tut* face she just smiled brazenly & again said she didn't remember me...
oh well...
that's her~the one sitting & blocking everyone else- the chubby big hair one-*Btut*!!!
so, when i uploaded those photos into my facebook album after i've found some of my classmates & schoolmates in facebook & many of whom still remember me...i received a request from this *btut* girl to tag a photo of herself from my album...the cheek of her~ needless to say i rejected her request! ;P

Donald & Daisy duck in the Underworld: Rise of the Lycans movie sets...!?
this is actually a very funny haha sort of scenario....
do u ever noticed that over the years we tend to see our friends more than we do of our relatives unless..some of our relatives happen to also be our friends lah...
anyway this is about~ how often do we actually see our relatives socially...!?
more than often we only see them during festive seasons, weddings & funerals ( well of course this one not the happy- to- see- u- here sort of occasion of course but still one of those events when we actually bump into some of our relatives like it or not..)
& sometimes when we do meet these so called relatives...it's more often than not, only happen in a certain set of events or places where we tend to associate people or in this case our relatives in a particular set of scenarios...for instance we only see some set of relatives exclusively during raya / festive seasons, & some only at weddings & of course another set will probably be at funerals....& when we occasionally bump into them outside the setting, our mind play havoc...
this happened to hubby & i a few Saturdays ago (it was during the valentine's weekend) after coming back from our weekly visit to my parents in Shah Alam. on the way back to Semenyih, we decided to drop by at the Curves but ended up going to Ikea instead cos suddenly i felt the craving for some of those Ikea's curry puffs bad..but no not craving 'craving' just for not been having 'em for quite awhile cravings craving if u know what i mean...hehehe...
when we got there, Laith ceremoniously announced the urgency to visit the washroom... so while he went about to do his business, we loitered around at the lobby waiting...awhile later i saw my hubby waving @ someone, i looked at the direction he was facing and was looking @ someone rather familiar but can't place the face instantly and asked "who is that?"...."my niece!" was his answer..hmmm...by marriage~ she's my niece too lah...
laaaa....& it turned out to be one of the 6 daughters of my hubby's cousin... she walked towards us & salam both of us & ask for Laith....& said "what are u guys doing here? " to which we good-naturedly answered "oh nothing much, just feel like grabbing some of 'em curry puffs...hahaha... ".
with that confused & somewhat amazed look on her face she said " hehe... it's kinda weird to see u guys here...hahaha..." yeah i know what she meant, i felt the same way too, it's utterly butterly strange to bump into someone whose part & role has been the same year after year...relatives that u meet during raya, at weddings or funerals unfortunately...
but what i found funny was...she (& to be honest i too) had that malay drama director look on the face that says ...' wait a minute, this is all wrong~ CUT! u don't belong in this scene, it's all wrong... the time of year, the place, the costumes...are all wrong!
the scene u belong to should be;
when: the 3rd day of raya not- on a valentines' weekend,
venue: rumah Tok Mat in Semenyih not- Ikea / the Curves,
costume: baju melayu raya not- casuals,
Role: We, play part of the hosts- She, plays the happy to see all the usual Semenyih raya food served on the table.
it's like Walt Disney characters suddenly make an appearance in a totally bizarre Underworld:Rise of the Lycans movie sets...
a total mismatched that's for sure..! :P

random me...
this is another getting to know me better thingy that they came up with in facebook... since i've already done it, i thought i might as well just post it here..
&these are my 25 random facts...
1. i am hopelessly devoted to my son~ Laith & my hubby~ Joey- the two most important people in my life.
2. Call me old fashion but i met my hubby through a get together cum blind date set up by a few mutual friends including 3 of my 4 brothers! but i guess that was a match made in heaven. i was told about him on May 30th 1999, we met on June 10th 1999, got engaged on July 24th 1999 & got married on the 19th September 1999. we love each other rotten...he is just everything that i'm not.
3. Golf is a passion instilled in me since i was young by my beloved baba~ now i got to enjoy it with my hubby & my daddy- in- law...
4. Pink is not my colour but i don't hate it to the point i can't stand it (my golf balls are Pink!). i love blue but when i go out shopping for clothes (even if i like the colour on the mannequin or on display) i always ended up with white, black, brown or gray something...but i do occasionally throw in some red tops here & there for color.
5. about 5 years ago, i just had the urge to do oil painting, so i went out to the art supplies store and bought myself two canvases, oil paints, paint brushes, linseed oil etc... until now they are still sitting pretty & gathering dust in the box somewhere in the storeroom of my house!
6.When i was about 6 years old- hmmm...that was quite a long time ago too... i used to owned a pet (white feathered) turkey & i called it 'klook-klook'~ because of the sound it made. but one day it died for some unknown reason, it broke my heart bad...so i cried & i cried & i cried...ma tried to replace it with another turkey but it's just not the same...so i gave up at having any pets until today!
7. uuuh... somehow i've managed to get to #7.... i prefer a small company of friends, considerably shy & don't enjoy talking about myself much...but when i do i just can't stop!!! hahaha...
it takes a while for me to warm up to new people... but i make a good listener.
8. i love flowers in general~ daisies, white lily, orchids to name a few...but Sunflower has been & still is my all time favorite flower, so are those bright yellow daffodils during spring time back in the UK...i love 'em bad!!
9. Scotland is definitely one of my favorite place in the world...it's just so peaceful & quiet out there.
10. i have a phase at cooking/ baking, gardening or doing art & crafts... i will start doing something for a couple of days, weeks or months sometimes until i get bored & then i 'lll move on to do other things...but somehow all of the above activities will recycle on it's own free will...hahaha

ok done, now it's time to go get busy...
as i have mentions these facts are simply at random... i will later blog on some of the facts stated above in greater details...
&these are my 25 random facts...
1. i am hopelessly devoted to my son~ Laith & my hubby~ Joey- the two most important people in my life.
2. Call me old fashion but i met my hubby through a get together cum blind date set up by a few mutual friends including 3 of my 4 brothers! but i guess that was a match made in heaven. i was told about him on May 30th 1999, we met on June 10th 1999, got engaged on July 24th 1999 & got married on the 19th September 1999. we love each other rotten...he is just everything that i'm not.
3. Golf is a passion instilled in me since i was young by my beloved baba~ now i got to enjoy it with my hubby & my daddy- in- law...
4. Pink is not my colour but i don't hate it to the point i can't stand it (my golf balls are Pink!). i love blue but when i go out shopping for clothes (even if i like the colour on the mannequin or on display) i always ended up with white, black, brown or gray something...but i do occasionally throw in some red tops here & there for color.
5. about 5 years ago, i just had the urge to do oil painting, so i went out to the art supplies store and bought myself two canvases, oil paints, paint brushes, linseed oil etc... until now they are still sitting pretty & gathering dust in the box somewhere in the storeroom of my house!
6.When i was about 6 years old- hmmm...that was quite a long time ago too... i used to owned a pet (white feathered) turkey & i called it 'klook-klook'~ because of the sound it made. but one day it died for some unknown reason, it broke my heart bad...so i cried & i cried & i cried...ma tried to replace it with another turkey but it's just not the same...so i gave up at having any pets until today!
7. uuuh... somehow i've managed to get to #7.... i prefer a small company of friends, considerably shy & don't enjoy talking about myself much...but when i do i just can't stop!!! hahaha...
it takes a while for me to warm up to new people... but i make a good listener.
8. i love flowers in general~ daisies, white lily, orchids to name a few...but Sunflower has been & still is my all time favorite flower, so are those bright yellow daffodils during spring time back in the UK...i love 'em bad!!
9. Scotland is definitely one of my favorite place in the world...it's just so peaceful & quiet out there.
10. i have a phase at cooking/ baking, gardening or doing art & crafts... i will start doing something for a couple of days, weeks or months sometimes until i get bored & then i 'lll move on to do other things...but somehow all of the above activities will recycle on it's own free will...hahaha
11. i go high on tea & coffee w /wo milk @ anytime of day & night...so i just don't drink tea or coffee~ end of story.
12. Don't hate me but i love the rain... i love the sound of it...it's so calming..i used to play in the rain when i was little...and as i'm typing this, it's raining outside- that's possibly why i could tolerate the English weather too!
