ya ampun, anak sapa nih!!?? (ni anak my sister audra - dia suka nanyi lagu umbrella dan bila masuk azan maghrib mesti dia nak pakai tudung)



yang ni pulak anak sapa nih?!! (er, yang ni gw pun tak tahu but i saw her at dataran merdeka last sunday monday. comel sangat)

looking at their photos i think when i have a daughter i nak dia pakai tudung jugak lah.
cuma
i dont think i'm ready to give up my cleavage yet mwakaka.

Ralat:

My parents didn't lie to me. I missed out on a crucial information. The King Kong movie does exist, the 1976 version one starring Jeff Bridges - King Kong: The Legend Reborn.

Thanks Nalan for ze info. (I'm sorry again Mama!)

I've been wanting to write about this story lama dah. well, since the article came out.
you see, my parents, particularly my mother always tell me that my middle name Natasya comes from a movie about a particular female Russian soldier yang bernama Natasha. Growing up, i just accept the story as it is, i mean come on, surely cerita ini direka oleh my parents. i am so sheltered as an anak perempuan bongsu, you have no idea. they like to romanticize things - including how masa my mom mengandungkan saya they went to see King Kong and they kept saying thank God i came out non-hairy with a beautiful nose (a perfect symmetrical lie : King Kong came out in 1933, not 1977).
i've searched high-and-lo for the movie about Natasha but never found it.
until this article came out about a guy nama Amy Natasha:


an excerpt:
"Menyingkap sejarah di sebalik namanya, ibu Amy, Azizah Mohd Ibrahim, 55, berkata nama Natasha dipilih selepas beliau dan arwah suami, Norhuda, menonton filem perang Russia sekitar 1978 yang memaparkan ketangkasan watak pegawai tentera wanita, dikenali sebagai Leftenan Natasha".

So the movie does exist! And my parents weren't lying after all! Weird coincidence kan. I was in Pulau Ketam masa tu and my sister texted me asking me to read the story. Rasa macam nak balik waktu itu juga and hug my mom and tell her i'm sorry! For the past 30 years I thought you were lying about my name!

:)

I cant wait to see my mother today. She said she missed me while i was away in SG and that was the best thing a daughter could hear from her mother.

trivia: my parents also said my grandmother suggested naming me nanie natasya. can you imagine nama gua NANIE NATASYA !!?! *giggles*

Alang-alang dah update the english diary, I might as well update here as well. Feel untuk kerja belum datang. Baru pulang dari Temasek semalam. Tak jumpa Taufik Batisah pun. I’m listening to Mati Aku Mati, berbaju kurung hijau pucuk pisang (euw), tidak memakai celak dan menggayakan jam tangan baru yang dibeli di Bugis Street semalam dengan harga S$5.

I think from this trip kali ini, peristiwa ditahan di Kastam Singapura (kerana pink SKL!) takkan ku lupa hingga ke bila-bila. Walaupun hampir menangis disoal-siasat (buat apa di Singapura? Rokok ni untuk siapa? Tak takut kena denda 200 dolar?) I was treated nicely. Thank God.
Did a bit of shopping (tipu, I did a LOT of shopping) and sight-seeing. Seronok kali ini because I didn’t have to report to anybody (i.e. a boyfriend) and there was no need to please anybody.

Ok mood kerja sudah datang! Have a great week ahead ok.

Tadi kan, like, Ustaz Z, singgah ke office ku (di mana saya kelam-kabut tutup aurat kerana minggu lepas sudah kena sound sama ustaz) dengan anak bongsunya. Hensem macam ayahnya. Pemalu, tidak macam ayahnya. Ustaz Z berkata kepada anaknya sambil menarik tangan anaknya kepada aku - "Salam dengan auntie cun, Anas". Huhu. Berbunga sekejap hati Cik Nate.

(yes i have a massive crush on my ustaz. i have no shame! All these akidah classes are not helping my moral standings thanks)

We're all gonna burn in hell kerana Pak Salleh.
