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
Once In A Very Blue Moon ~ Emi Fujita
Once In A Very Blue Moon was originally sung by Nanci Griffith in the 80s. This version by Emi Fujita is slower but wonderful.
This song is written by Patrick Alger. You can hear him sing his version here. Two very different versions :D
My sister sent me an email that went..
I'm staying for a week ! Yippee!
hmmm... i was wondering when she's coming back to stay for a week. *LOL*
Then i read on further and found out the email was supposedly from Brandy. Brandy came by and stayed with her for a week. She is having a ball of a time with Brandy.. (and i am so very jealous). Somehow, this yellow furkid is like magic. When she comes by, my sister is so happy when she's with her. I can even feel her grinning away when she's talking to me on the phone just now. Tired but definitely happy.
Brandy is a bigggggg bag of cheer. Just lookit her below.
How a drop of yellow makes all the difference. She has such a funny face. Looking at her just melts my heart.
I am contemplating driving down tomorrow just to get some yellow cheer and lots of droopy saliva. And a photoshoot with one of my favourite muse. Ahhhhhhhhhhh.. i wish.

Sepi ~ Yuni Shara
This song seems apt at this hour of the night :) This is a soundtrack from an old movie from 2008. I kinda like this movie. I can watch it over and over again and never get bored... :) I love soppy love stories and tearjerkers.
This movie is about three people and how their lives intervene in a strange way. Its a simple movie but it touches the heart.
Sepi means Loneliness.
At some point in our lives, we will sometimes feel lonely. You can be with a whole lot of people and feel lonely. But there are some who are alone but never feel lonely.
Murphy came by yesterday when i am probably at one of my busiest week. *LOL* I woke up to find that my internet signal is gone. Goneeeeeeeeeeeee... A bright red light was there instead of a yellow. Oh bummer.
The most decent thing to do next is.. change back to my pajamas, close the curtains and crawl back under the sheets and sleep. Hmm.. that thought kinda crossed my wicked mind.
The modem was left on the night before. Boy forgot to switch it off. Since we are on thunder alley, and thunder seems to be visiting us quite often this week, i always pull out the phone line from the modem before i call it a night. So i was wondering if the thunder finally got to this modem as well. It was raining quite hard in the early morning.
I unplug this modem and change to the backup modem and still no signal. So its probably the service provider. So i called the support line. "Please hold... all our service representatives are busy right now"... "Please hold... all our service representatives are busy right now..." "Please holddddddddddddddddddddd..."
Rainy days really get them very busy because a lot of modems do get blasted. Usually after a heavy rainy day, i'll see a lot of the TM vans whizzing past my house. One of the support centers is about 5 mins away from my house... if i drive very fast.
After making a report and speaking to a very nice TM guy who was very helpful and even ask me to ping this and ping that... i waited for support. He said, we'll get back to you in two working days. I was screaming TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WORKING DAYS in my head.
Then i informed my office that my internet is down. *LOL* One of the girls was going... does it have to be down todayyyyyyyyyy??? can't it be down tomorrow. We need you to be UP today. Then she prayed. *lol* She was telling me she can't breathe.
I do backend support for my people in Singapore and this week we have a lot of stuffs going up and down in email and a whole lot of uploading and downloading. After today, i think i can kinda shake my legs a bit while my colleagues go off next week for the important stuffs.
The internet finally went back up at 3 pm. *phew* That was a huge relief. I was sitting glued to my chair the whole morning.. just in case it came back on. Seems like some thing went off on the main switch board near my area.
I do think that our work rely too much on the internet nowadays which has its ups and downs. Maybe i should probably look for backups. But P1 is crummy here and the others are no better.
These 2 weeks is quite stressful without me realising it till i see my hands crack in some areas. Stress-related eczema. It happens to me sometimes. I think i only cooked for one day this week. The cracks were kinda painful when it comes into contact with soap from cleaning agents. I shouldn't really have stress nowadays since i have Dom by my side. Maybe i should spend more time with the Curly.
Glad its Friday now. TGIF :) I'm gonna go off earlier today and just take dad and Boy for a good dinner. No cooking today!

My apologies for the lack of posts lately. We were practising hibernation to prepare ourselves for winter :) Not that we have winter in this country.. hehehehehe.. but with the consistent year end rainy days... everyday seems like a good day to sleep.
I got myself addicted quite strangely and willingly. The numbing sensation was kinda nice. Oh woe is me. I've gotta get myself sorted out soon else i'll be lagging again but with a pretty grin on the silly face of mine.
First it was the coffee. Early morning wake up coffee was good and kinda help you open your eyes wideeeeeeeeeee ^.^ It kinda leaves an after-taste in your mouth and stain your teeth more. Usually i only have one coffee a day. But lately, i've kinda graduated to 2 coffees :D And if you eat out in this town where i live... its quite a norm to order iced white coffeeeee. So on a given day that we eat out, i would probably have 3 coffeeees rolling in my stomach. A constant caffeine high.. wheeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.. A cuppa hot coffee on a rainy afternoon is very nice.. and comforting. Halppppppppp... i'm a coffee addict.
Then it was the constant rolling with Dommy on the floor in the afternoon. *LOL* He turns over and i give him a big tummy rub and that sorta give him big smiles and giggles. Urmm.. ok.. mebbe the giggle was in my imagination. Every night while i am working, he'll give me the "i wanna pee look" on his face. I open the door for him and he'll just happily trot out and trot back into the room. This has been going on for the past few days. I open the door for him and he goes outta the room.. and comes back in and lies on his bed. Then he comes back to my side and nudge me... while having the "i wanna pee look" on his face. I open the door again and he trots out and trot back in and lies on his bed. I think he's LOA or just playing me! Halpppppppppppppppppppp... i'm addicted to Dommy and i've become his slave.
Astro is kinda crummy lately with their crummy repeated stuffs... but i don't know why i am watching so much tv in the night and numbing my brains. I've become a channel surfer and just gets glued to the tv for at least 2 hours. Halpppppppppppp... i'm a tv addict too.
The lack of posts lately was because i was doing some testing on the site and watching it silently.. hehehhehe. It is also the year end and i'm usually a wee bit busier preparing stuffs for the office.
Oh ya.. and we were busy preparing the house for Jai to come home in January. We still got loads to do. We haven't done the spring cleaning and my hands are already cracked in spots. We even got our hands deep in cement fixing stuffs around the house. We were not very good with the cement thingy.. hahhahahaa... that was hard work and the rain kinda helped us washed all our cementing flaws away. So much for cementing.
And there was the book i got from the 2nd hand bookstore which got me glued for hours... hehhehehhee.. It was a book that i wanted to buy 10 years ago... it was too expensive then and even now. But i found it in a 2nd hand bookstore for just 12 bucks. Used but still in pretty good condition. I was grinning for a good 5 mins when i found it. It was like meeting a long lost friend. Ok ok.. i think i am seriously losing my marbles. I haveta go out more and see more people and make more real friends... *LOL*
Truthfully speaking.. hehehehe.. the lack of posts lately was because i was lazy. Period.

A Special Wish for Mummy and Kamala.When Mother Reads Aloud
When Mother reads aloud, the past
Seems real as everyday;
I hear the tramp of armies vast,
I see the spears and lances cast,
I join the thrilling fray.
Brave knights and ladies fair and proud
I meet when Mother reads aloud.
When Mother reads aloud, far lands
Seem very near and true;
I cross the deserts' gleaming sands,
Or hunt the jungle's prowling bands,
Or sail the ocean blue.
Far heights, whose peaks the cold mists shroud,
I scale, when Mother reads aloud.
When Mother reads aloud, I long
For noble deeds to do-
To help the right, redress the wrong;
It seems so easy to be strong,
So simple to be true.
Oh, thick and fast the visions crowd
My eyes, when Mother reads aloud.
