My Lunchtime Activity Lately


Reading books at Borders that I had wanted to read for quite some time but I was not too incline to buy it unless the books are really good. Cheapskate but this is one way to save money !

Finish reading Persepolis 1 on last Thursday and Friday. Now to Book 2.

So far? Quite good. Its in comic strips form ( well it is technically a graphic novel, though the art is not lavish but does the job quite well), so it does not take that long to finish it.

But I do like the idea of an autobiography being told in a comic form. Much more entertaining. Most autobiographies are so dull. I like her sense of humour in this novel too. So my lunchtime for Ramadhan are being spent in an enjoyable manner. Hehe.

You can 'tiru' me. Lepak di Borders for 2 hours and read it. It will not take that long. Better still, do it after Ramadhan and brought it along to Starbucks. Heh.


Taufiq:

Aini and Zaki's Wedding

Promised the girls that we will attend Aini's wedding at Melaka on last Saturday, but at the last minute I changed the plan to go to Zaki's side of the wedding instead at Air Molek yesterday since on the same day there was also another kenduri potong jambul at my brother in law's kampung at Rembau. We manage to reach there around 15 mins after 1pm just before the pengantin berarak. Nice timing indeed. So alang-alang2 tu aku join je belakang rombongan pengantin masuk while my husband duk ambik-ambik gamba. Anyway the food was yummeh (sambal sotong!!! My Fav!) and the wedding is really traditional-like with gamelan music and silat. Aini looks really prettyyy and Zaki's sooo happy and jovial-like. Selamat Pengantin Baru to Aini and Zaki. The pic above is from my husband camera taken by tah sape and I will upload most of the remaining gambar kenduri in Facebook, sooner or later. Gamba kat Rembau tu, tanya Shamani die nak upload kat mana as the pics are at his camera too

Raw

Why does my heart cried Feelings I can't fight You betrayed me But just don't deceived me And please believe me when I say I love you [From the movie Moulin Rouge] And why didnt he? He's playing hot and cold.. hot and cold with me. I can't stand it. Yet I always come back for more. I am a true blue masochist. I don't even ask him to love me. I just ask him to miss me. And he couldnt even do that.. or say it. I just want to see his face once more. To see his lovely smiles, his small laugh. Why couldn't I forget him. When he could so easily dismissed me.. he could just easily come back and messed my sense and sensibility. While my tears fall down to my keyboard, yet at the same time I was making jokes and soothing him telling him "no worries". I don't ask for much... a smile, a pat on the hand. I miss him so much. Yet I am so afraid to let it shows. Becoz then if I show it... it will hurt 10 times more.
