we survived the scorching hot weather yesterday. wedding was alright, but i think these days when you go to a Malay wedding, there is something that we can't avoid:

wedding DJ from hell.

seriously just how much do ppl pay for this type of DJ? gotta hand it to them to play the crappiest rock kapak songs. the DJ siap pasang sound effect bunyi helicopter - to say that the bride & groom dah sampai. i thought that was hilarious.

Things to do do do

Yah yah the long weekend is here. My colleague said he wants to come to work tomorrow. "Dude aren't you supposed to pray to your God or something on Wesak Day?" I pray to my God every single day la, said him. Good answer. Harus hari-hari ingat pada Tuhan.

Stuff to do this 3-days break:
1. Catch up on my Korean drama fix. I also miss Daniel Henney. Yums.
2. Attend a wedding (ohhhh the weather better be good!)
3. Work on a magazine q&a that I've been delaying forever
4. Keep an eye on the Korean conflict - how will it affect the economy? (beats me, but if they start bombing each other it will affect my bonus)
5.Watch a movie with Sara C (the last movie I saw was New Moon!)
6. Complete the handmade Super Junior wooden jigsaw puzzle my good friend made for me. Handmade okay! Terharu.
7. Kemas rumah
8. Goreng ikan terubuk & figure out how to make a killa air asam
9. Finish the Yann Martel book so that I can prove to myself that yes, I can still read a book
10. Start cracking my head - what's a good 2nd anniversary gift? (email me kthanx)

Have a pest-free break.

Waiting

i'm waiting for my meeting to start. an evening meeting to discuss the discussables (this is not even a word), like how this job seems like a neverending journey to nowhere. will i ever reach the top? or am i just comfortable here, with this view.

I want candy!

Makan gula-gula Jepun sebab tak dapat jumpa orang Jepun.

Spital

My mom masuk hospital today. Nothing serious, she needed more blood. "Jangan dia orang bagi darah drakula sudah," said my mom. Her sense of humor can be brutal at times, but kali ni I thought it was funny.

Rumi has it

My kid turned 1 few weeks back. Actually I have been planning a huge robo-themed party for him (been doing research for best robot parties) since early this year. But of course by the time May datang, a. I was broke b. I had no venue and I was looking at some mommies blogs and how they celebrated their kids' birthdays and got completely turned off and stopped reading mommies blogs altogether. Dramatik betul.

Actually, my kid turning 1 was the time to reflect on my 'report card'. Pasti banyak merah. I hate being a weekend mom. I nak anak I sentiasa handsome and smart but all I ever (secretly) teach him is
Korean phrases. Whenever he gets sick that is when I feel the lousiest, because I am at work writing about the economy when I should be home hugging him tight. Banyak sangat kekurangan yang perlu dibaiki.

But my kid had a nice birthday anyway. 3 separate cozy small celebrations - terima kasih semua. I think we'll have a proper birthday when he's old enough to map his life & choose whatever he wants - robots, cars or a full hip-hop party. All I know when he turns 3, I'm getting him his first turntable! \o/

I love you, kid. Let's rock the world.
