I DOs - aftermath (ii)

Nora : sayang, muka i nampak runcing tak? saya guna teknik shading.

Ajoi (after 1sec pause): ... apa tu?

Nora (after 1 sec pause): ...oh ya, saya lupa awak tak faham. shading tu ialah menggunakan warna yang gelap pada bahagian-bahagian tertentu pada muka supaya muka boleh nampak lebih runcing, terutama sekali macam orang yang muka petak seperti saya. ada nampak macam muka saya lebih bujur tak?

Ajoi (after 2 sec pause): ... perut?

Ajoi&Nora (serentak): HAHAAHAKAHAHAHAKHAHAHAK!!!!

Back in those days, RHB Bank has part of SIME Bank in it which earlier had bought over UMBC Bank... or something like that. Back in those days, i used to drive mom to work and pick her up every evening from UMBC or Sime Bank or RHB bank (as they call it now).

Since there was only one car, no maid, one baby sister and two other siblings still in school, i was honored to have held the key to the only most convenient mode of transportation. having a car around made my life much easier and daily routines accomplished faster. everyone has to work, eat, go to school, extra curricular activities, tuition or just a trip for fun-time at the playground... but alas.. after awhile, i hated the idea of driving. heh.

sometimes my mom would feel like driving. so i let her. i watched her cut all queues from rush hour traffic using the emergency lane. i was scared. before that, i used to see my father does it. i was scared then too. when i did it, i got scared and now i get to witness my husband doing it... and i am still scared.

i do admit using the emergency lane to cut queues during rush hour traffic does save a lot of time. but as we all know, it may cause unnecessary accidents and not to mention the cursing you're gonna get from other drivers that actually bide by the rules and kept to the designated lanes.

thank God after some time, mom got a car so then I could cross the 'rush hour madness' off my list.. hurrah!

In cases of emergencies where only split seconds are all the luxury that you're gonna get to make an extremely quick responsive decision -it would be a heck a lot easier to turn into that lane if there weren't so many people on it! so let us try with all our might to stay away from driving on the emergency lane if you're not having an emergency because... every now and then, i have to use that lane too. don't you?

Muahs.

I DOs - aftermath

Nora: sayang orang tu tak betul la..
Ajoi: ssshh.
Nora: sayang, that's not a great way of nurturing positive outcomes over an interaction. if u are to continue with 'sush-ing' me in every conversation, then i'll be sculpted into spending the rest of my life without having an opinion!
Ajoi: ... sounds ok to me.

*big fat slap on ajoi's thigh!*

HAPPY BELATED NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

we've been training rather frequently to prepare ourselves for our Mount Kinabalu climb, my husband will take me to the mountain biking route at bukit kiara/tmn tun for hiking complemented with our night runs. one day he mulut tak leh cover and pointed out, "sayang, bau wangi". i said, "haish". five steps later he voiced it out again, "sayang, bau bedak sayang, wangi!". i told him, "jangan ditegur sayang". we passed a 'kuil' in the jungle so i thought maybe its the smell of incents burning. sebenarnya what we never told anyone is that, as we jogged down on the jogging track after exiting the jungle trek, the aroma came again and it was really prominent and rather overwhelming to ignore. so we stopped. there was a sign board there. it reads, "ini lah punca air untuk sungai penchala, kualiti air adalah kelas 1". with that, i asked permission from my husband to have a sip, ajoi told me its untreated water but the choice is mine to have, just baca Bismillah and Al-Fatihah first. I followed his advice and went to the tiny stream for a scoop... SEDAP!!, since that day, setiap kali lalu that stream i will fill up our water bottle with air bukit. both of us enjoy it very much..  harap-harap dapatlah sentuh puncak kinabalu with ajoi this Wednesday. InsyaAllah. and to everyone that came to our wedding, all that wished for our happiness and every single person that had helped, I, Nora Elina and my dearest husband, Zulkarnain Zubir @ ajoi, would like to say from the bottom of our hearts: THANK YOU SO MUCH! maklumlah kata orang, kalau berkenduri mesti ada gelas yang pecah. maaflah kalau ada yang terlebih atau terkurang =).

not too long ago, a friend of mine claimed to have lost her handphone and she accused another friend of mine of stealing it. she was absolutely sure it was him and claimed that there was no one else around that could have committed the crime. i heard bout it and said, "please be sure. you have to have proof". of course she was sure but to me, of course a person can most of the time be sure even without proof. she asked me to confront him, i told her, "without proof i cannot ask him to return your phone but i could ask if he knows anything about it". she agreed. well that friend of mine suggested i help her to look for the handphone instead of wasting my time asking because he had nothing to do with it. so i helped her look, and it was not easy as she was very upset and could not stop crying after hearing that he had deny the accusation. Alhamdulillah, we found her phone, apparently, earlier, she got involved in a quarrel with her boyfriend and lost focus on what she was doing, she even bought a new sim card so her boyfriend could not contact her anymore (anyway, that's beside the point.. sempat pulak iklan, hehe). i told her you have to salam and ask forgiveness from him because u had brand him as a thief without proof. kesalahan antara manusia hanya manusia boleh memaafkan. and so she did, she took his hand and apologized again and again and again, he blushed and said, "lain kali, cari dulu". i could not help thinking that, orang perempuan bila berfikir dengan emosi- sungguh berdrama. she even said, "jangan beritahu orang lain tau, malu lah". well, no names, kira tak beritahu la tu... (saja nak berkongsi. heh). another friend of mine that knows her well also said she's like that one, sometimes so fast to point fingers sampai bagaikan cerita orang baru beranak satu sudah dikata telah bercucu. haha, aren't we all pun sama juga? dont get me wrong, i love her, she's humble, hardworking and friendly. kalau kita berperang dengan orang yang kita sayang siapa-siapa pun akan jadi sewel, ye tak? oh well, she gave me her new number twice already since that insident, but i still haven't saved it till today. im so forgetful. note to self : apologize, reguest and store her new number. haish.
