The Young Ones ~ Cliff Richard
Papa is listening to this right now. He's singing... humming.. whistling. Today must be a happy day for him :)
He spends many hours on the computer on YouTube & Spider Solitaire almost everyday. I think he loves YouTube more than his other games on his Gameboy that the kids left with him.
Maybe i should consider getting him his own netbook so he'll always have YouTube and Spider Solitaire on hand and never be bored wherever he goes.
I leave songs that my papa listens to here so that my sisters will know what he's up to. Most of these songs are from our childhood. I was not a fan of Cliff Richard. But eldest sister was. I remember her going awoo awooooooooooooooooooooooooooo over him *LOL* If she sees this post... she'll have my skin. hahhahahahaa
Oraits. Enjoy this song :)
Do you know how to string a guitar? It can be quite a bloody experience... *LOL*
My nephew plays the guitar. He has been playing the guitar on and off for maybe 3 years or more. When he started playing the guitar, we all would laugh quite often cos this boy always sings off key. He doesn't really hear himself sing even though he sings quite loud.
I would sometimes tell him... wrong key wrong key... aiyaaa.. but he would not mind.. and still keep on jang jang jang away. To be a good guitarist, you must hum or sing when you play along. Enjoy the process of guitar playing.
A lot of people don't really make it as good guitarist. They never play a full song. They will become like some campfire guitarists.. *LOL* Campfire guitarist strums a bit of song.. snatches of song... and go.. i think it goes like this.. jang jang jang.. and then.. urmm.. no no.. i think it should go like this.. jang jang jang jang... and no full song gets played.
Boy and his cousins attempted to play some Christmas carols last Christmas. All three of them are of the same age and grew up together. They were like campfire guitarists. *LOL* In the end we ended up singing Christmas carols without the music from the guitars.
When these three fellas get together to play + sing... we all haveta seal our ears. They sound urmm... atrocious together. *LOL* But like any teenager, they are quite proud of their singing and sometimes record it on their mobiles for playbacks. These are good laughs for them.
Last few days.. one of the strings on his acoustic guitar snapped. Usually he goes to the shop and the man will string it for him. Me and my big mouth told him that he should learn how to string his own guitar. All guitarists string their own guitars.
So we went to the shops and got the strings. We came home and he struggled to string it cos he is a left-hander. I saw blood on his fingers.. cuts from the steel strings.. hahahahhahaa Then i went.. aiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... becareful laaa. Then i helped him.. and ended up with cuts on my fingers as well. Just stringing one string on a guitar got both our fingers bloodied and stinging. We are both clueless noobs.
But hey... he now knows how to string his own guitar :) And his singing and guitar playing has improved tremendously over a year all thanks to YouTube. Hopefully we'll be able to get full guitar strummings to accompany our christmas carol singing this year.
Oh... Bola just picked up the guitar few months back. He's a natural. He however never sings out of key *LOL*

HooooooooOOOOOOOOOOllllaaa :) Sorry for my non-existence lately.
I did try a few postings last week... and got cut short when things keep breaking my rhythm. When i got back to the post... i forgot what i wanted to write. hehhehee. With my short-term memory fading fast... one day.. i might just forget my own name.
Ahh... Boy's SPM exam is going to start come Wednesday. Not a peep from him. He's right behind me studying very hard. Usually i try to stay up as late as i could to keep him company. But sometimes my eyelids just close. His mommy and daddy came back to see him last weekend and bought him all the essentials for his exams and lotta snacks for the late nights. Bola came back too to jam with him on the guitars :D Both of them do have a lot to talk about. They usually chatter the night away. Family are always stress relievers and they always give you moral support when you need them most. Boy was very happy.
Jai has reached his destination and most probably in his grandma's arms right now. Surrounded by lotta people who's probably pinching his cheeks and the lil one going ouch ouch ouch. *LOL* It is probably a nice change for him to see so many new faces. And its warm where he is now. He'll only be back to Malaysia end of January. Bet he'll have a great holiday with his grandma :)
We watch a ghost movie yesterday. It was a funny Singaporean movie with some moral values in it. It was real funny and had the whole lot of us cramped in the hall laughing away. Dad have watched it earlier when he bought it few days back but he was the one who laughed the loudest. I think our neighbours were cursing us for creating such a racket so late at night. Our movie ended almost close to 1am.. urmm.. it didn't end actually.. the dvd was jammed when it was almost to the end :)
Come Christmas... i hope to find some time to catch up with some friends. Whom i've totally abandon for while. But these are very good ole friends. We always still do pick up from where we left off even though i have not seen them for a while :) We will continue our mindless chatter and talk about some poo and crap and still laugh about the silliest things. In life, you just need a few good friends and family + a dog or two or maybe three.
I've been spending my time reading a lot lately. From labels on bottles to magazines to countless 2nd hand books which i acquired to food packets to google to urmm.. many other things. And yesterday... i dreamt of my mom.
She came and threw all my books to the open field. My favourite book too.. and it was raining (raining season here in Malaysia).. my books were getting soaked... then i cried. I cried and cried non-stop. When i went to the field to get my books... there was this lady who was taking my soaked books into her bag. I was telling her.. its my books.. why are you taking them. But she just took them away. Such a weird dream.
My mother.. when she was alive.. have never ever threw my books. Not even on the floor. She would never do such a thing. She is a gentle soul. I was wondering what mom was trying to tell me. Maybe she's trying to tell me to look at the world more and not spend most of my time reading something.. hehehhehee :) But i am glad she came by. Its been a while since she last came to visit me.
Maybe i should stop reading and start blogging again :)
footnote: it took me about 2 hrs to finish this post.. *LOL* cos my rhythm was broken and i was here and there and everywhere but not in front of the computer :p
- I had a lapse of memory and forgot i have a blog... or two.
- I got lazy and became a tv addict.
- A lot of people came by.
- My sisters and kids were back.
- Boy is having is big mother of an exam soon.
- I am trying to cook more and coming up with less disasters.
- I lost my train of thoughts.
- I was reading some mighty juicy stories.
- Last minute & super urgent stuffs keep appearing for work.
- I might be turning into a dog.
- Rolling on the floor with Dommy seems nicer than blogging on an average day.
- I am doing some research on...
- Christmas is coming and i have not done any christmas shopping yet.
- I am trying to come up with valid reasons not to attend a dinner with a whole room of total strangers.
- I am becoming more dog. *woof*

Jai's off to see his grandma tomorrow. It would be his first time on a plane and a first time travelling very far away. He's reaching a new milestone. Finally getting to see his grandma for the first time and all his extended families. I bet everyone would be excitedly waiting for his arrival.
Hope he will have a great journey and won't make much of a fuss on the plane. Safe journey Jai.
Another group of people over here is anticipating your arrival too. He will be almost like a tiny film star.. hahhahahaa.. getting mobbed and kissed and hugged. Soon Jai.. soon.
kera sumbang ~ Orang yang takut atau tidak gemar mencampuri orang ramai... basically it means a recluse. A person who withdraws from the world to live in seclusion and often in solitude.
When we had Piper... few years back, it was just Piper. We loved him.. we pamper him and its just him. He's the king and everybody loves him because he fluffy and darn cute... :D
He can sometimes pass off as a statue cos this lil doggie don't move much.. except for tummy rubs. But he can run very fast. When he runs, his feet don't actually touch the ground. Trust me.. i have chased after this tiny fella. He's handsome and flamboyant.. especially after he puts on his red collar with the bell.
But he doesn't really mix with other dogs. Maybe we never exposed him much to other dogs when he was little.
Now that Brandy is having her holiday in his home, he doesn't even want to come out of the house for his walks, peepee & poopoo. I think he is almost petrified of Brandy and her size. *LOL*
Brandy kinda runs fast when she's happy (urmm.. she's always happy) and she's big. For a tiny dog like Piper.. Brandy would seem like a big hurricane coming towards him if he sees her running towards him.. hehhehehe
Piper is more of a house dog. He don't like to walk on the grass. He doesn't like to get his feet dirty.. hehehehhehe He only likes to walk on the road. Never on the grassy patches. Not like Brandy or Dommy.
When Brandy goes for walks, patches of grass no matter how small the patch is, its like a big draw to her. She loves the grass just like Dommy. But not Piper.
Both sis and i usually refer to Piper as kera sumbang. Cos he doesn't like to mix. Dommy however craves for other doggie friends.
Weird. All three doggies have such vast difference in characters. Maybe they are all different breeds and they woof in different languages.. Hmmm... mebbe thats the reason why ^.^
Oh ya.. Sis emailed me a picture of her kera sumbang just now.. hehhehehee..
We still love him most. He is our first furkid after a very long time. With a face like that.. we can't help loving him more. He is my dad's favourite too.

This song suddenly came to my mind just now while i was yapping with a friend on yahoo.. hehehe I am just typing/recording it here just in case i forget it one day.
My memory seems to be failing me more these days. Maybe i need some gingko to give my memory a lil boost. Not too sure if gingko helps anyway.
While i was cooking today, i went to the fridge to fetch something. When i open the fridge door, i stared blankly at the fridge for a good 3 mins and forgot what i came to the fridge for. *LOL* I closed the fridge door and went back to the kitchen. And then..*pring pring*.. i remember it the minute i step back into the fridge... i mean kitchen.
Back to the fridge i went to get my stuff :)
Funny how this rhyme came back to my head. It was a song which we sang when we were in school eons ago. It is in Bahasa Malaysia our national language. I always like the letrom letrom part.. (the chorus)
Here's a direct translation of the song.. (as best i could)
Old parrot
Perching on the window ledge
Grandma is old
Her teeth only left two
Letrom letrom letrommmmmmmm wulala
Letrom letrom letrommmmm wulala
Letrom letrom letrom wulalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Old parrot laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
hehehehehe.. the English translation is for our friends who do not understand Bahasa Malaysia. Now come and sing along with me. Letrom letrom letrooooooooooooooooooommm wulalaaa
