men teach us many things

men teach us many things
of life, love, sorrow and rejoice
the lucky us, were given wings
to fly and listen to our own voice

men teach us many things
that us may find it hard to understand
thus they endure some acting
was not for nothing but us and our fairyland

men teach us many things
good deed and bad charm
but love has taken over everything
how addictive, us can't resist the King's arms

men teach us many things
which may induces us to insanity
only if us see the beneath, what it could bring
o' women believe me, men teach us 'bout dignity

anecdote.

daze.sorrow.chaotic.sorry.infelicitous.complex.stun.uncertain.hope.enigma.

I could not think of any other words.

I was biting my lips, holding my breathe, trying not to blink, hoping for no tears.

Yes, there was no tears.

I questioned myself. This is my decision. Not his. Would I regret it, one day?

Hari yang menusuk kalbu. Terpaku. Terpana. Terpinga.

Seperti Dia sudah merancang buat aku.

Seolah Dia sengaja menguji kecekalan hati kering aku.

I wish I could nestle into his arms again.

But there is someone else.

Someone who needs to nestle in my arms more than I needed his.

Thence I must be stiff.

I must be numb.

I must be insensitive.

I must rejoice.

This is destiny I opted.

Si Tukang Kayu - Getting Better At It

Cik Alma,

 * you prefer to attach to Barney rather than Julia.

 * Tok Mak  bought you Baby Alive but every day & night, you dengan gembiranya pijak pijak on it kan! 

   ( r . i . p baby alive)

 * and this week pulak, you smartly enjoy to disassemble your bed. Tiap tiap malam mesti nak buat kan.

oh I wonder !

Purple Pumpkin just overmuch

A new header as seen.
Purple Pumpkin is indeed all over the places.
Just realized so tonight.
Such a mess. A light eye ache.

A refreshment, then.
A new look :)  most importantly, on its own.

Good bye old header.

Toothpaste Tale

Punyalah cerewet anak dara I ni, tak mahu toothpaste yang lain. Nak yang dia selalu pakai tu je la. Merata mother cari ke sana sini, siap minta kawan kawan tolong tinjau tinjaukan. Masih tak jumpa lagi tempat yang ada jual toothpaste tu kat JB, mungkin belum jelajah banyak tempat, kawan kawan pun tolong carikan tapi tak jumpa. Oleh kerana toothpastenya dah memang kehabisan hingga picitan yang terakhir (sorry! mother tak bawa stock balik JB sebab ikut rancangan kita cuma balik raya je, tapi lama pulak kat JB sebab Tok Abah sakit), terpaksa lah beli toothpaste yang ada dijual di Tesco. Perisa strawberry, Raiya or Raiyya or something like that la. Tapi...ya ampon, memang Alma tak nak brush teeth langsung!

Alma tak suka ubat gigi tu bererti dia tak mahu gosok gigi! Barangkali kerana deria rasa dia dah detect the taste of the first teeth baby toothpaste yang biasa digunakan dengan berus gigi dia.

Mungkin bagi Alma, the formula is:

• first teeth baby toothpaste + jordan children toothbrush = now that's what I call 'happily brush teeth'.    

Sangat sudah pandai memilih dan menunjukkan karakter you ni sekarang kan.

The toothbrush pun comes in many colors, you tahu what color to choose.

the 1st pair of toothbrush

Color yang dah ada, you tak mahu lagi eh.

Picture dibawah ni ialah ubat gigi kegemaran Alma.

first teeth baby toothpaste

No doubt ia memang seronok digunakan selain menjaga kebersihan gigi dan mulut Alma.

Mothers out there should let their kids try this one!

Si Tukang Kayu

Dua malam sudah, satu kali. Malam tadi jadi dua kali pulak. Nanti tak lama sikit, benda tu dah jadi lali. 

Alma, macam macam akal you dah keluar sekarang ya. Nak turun katil, tak dapat. Cuba panjat pun masih gagal. Sudahnya you buka katil you sendiri. Terkejut Tok mak and mother. Geram punya pasal, you gegarkan katil sekuat hati you sampai tercabut palang kayu tu eh! 

Darling Alma, you are a girl. I wish to see you behave like one. 

Pleaseeeeee jangan copycat mother yang kurang feminine ni tau. Tak nak! (now, cross your legs, darling..)

 **mother tak habis lagi nak membebel ni...

Eh, Dia Tengok Kita

Tengah sibuk nak siapkan blog, tiba tiba ternampak rather a frequent visit dari Seri Kembangan. Who could it be? Ah visitor ni, blog I ni masih baru nak make up lagi, apply foundation stick pun belum rata. Siapa pun kamu, tunggu blog anak I ni siap dulu la okay :) ** buat masa sekarang, comel kan? tihihi

Seri Kembangan? my blog tak sempat berkembang lagi la..

Mother Buat Untuk You

Agak pening kepala nak buat blog ni. bertahun juga menjauhkan diri daripada aktiviti yang memerlukan konsentrasi ni, tapi untuk Alma, mother buat juga okay, Alma!

a happy child
