The face that launched a thousand hearts....


Paul Newman, the face that launched a thousand hearts...Which includes mine when I first saw him in his movie with Robert Redford, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and of course its not his face only but he carried his part so well and that goes to his other movies. I like Robert Redford too but I simply adored Paul Newman with his blue eyes hahaha.

Guess where I watched the movie? At Tuaran football field in 1974 and mind you it's not at the cinema(am not allowed to go hehe) but it's a free show(wayang free bah dulu2 kena panggil) by Jabatan Penerangan. We went there as early as 6pm, of course we cycle to Tuaran padang...kira2 1 kampung juga datang hahaha sitting down on a straw mat(my aunt brought) with the big white screen in front and once in a while being bitten by the mosquitoes but that didn't drive me away...semangat! Ever since that kenal trus who Paul Newman is and looking forward for his movies to be screened by RTM at our black and white tv which we finally owned in 1976....those were the days :)



Read the news today that he has gone to rest at the age of 83, may God bless his soul and he rest in peace. You can click here to read more on Newman.

esok Raya....

Yipeee....besok Raya and cuti 2 hari hehehe...bestnya! The best thing about being a Malaysian is that, there is no celebrations that are not celebrated by everyone...Hari Raya, Christmas, CNY, Harvest Festival or whatever celebration name it...termasuklah shopping celebration wakaka. Beside the cultural unity and harmony(and I hope it stays that way) that has been instill in every Malaysian community its a factor of inter-marriages in a family. Just like in our family...we are completely rojak...we celebrate all the celebrations hahaha...so it fun time the whole year round.

So tonight as always and seems to be our family tradition for the past 20 years we will gather at my eldest sis-in-law house to help her with the preparation, for it's a customary for her to have Raya open-house on the 1st day of Raya. As always....we'll be preparing the kulupis tonight, glutinous rice cooked with coconut milk and wrapped with daun silad, tied it individually with a string then gather a whole bunch of the kulupis for boiling, banyak tangan diperlukan to prepare all this since what we are preparing is not in the numbers of 20 or 30 pieces so that's where the crew comes in hahaha. Just like ketupat, kulupis is served with rendang or curry but as for me I prefer to eat the kulupis while it's still hot just as it is with a cup of hot local brew coffee(kopi Tenom lah bah kunun tu)...hmm...inda sabar2 lagi ni...bukan inda sabar mau kerja but makan hahaha.

The cooking of the daging rendang, curry, ayam kurma or other stuff we leave it to the captain, we the crew ni do the minor2 stuff...masuk2kan cookies in the serving container or once in while in our belly...yup! and buat chaos dengan cerita2 sensasi or yang terkini wakakaka....bukan apa...saja mau menghilangkan ngantuk hehe.

To all my Muslims family, relatives, friends and readers...A Blessed Aidil Fitri, segala salah dan silap harap dimaafkan and have a jolly good time from the Mumsiepoppets.

holiday mood...

Monday....and two more days to Raya(if the baby moon is seen tomorrow night). The road is finally traffic free... beside it's school holiday I guess everyone is still on the bed coz most of them on leave or no need to send their children to school hehehe...it's so peaceful on the road...no hassles... yang cam my turn no frowning faces...no mukamau makan orang hahaha Yup! traffic jam is a place for a crash course on lips reading and be an expert in it...you sure do know when people are cursing or saying the famous 4 letters word(thanx God d Sabah lum ada road bully). So, as for today and tomorrow onwards....no rushing business, I know I'll get to work on time...yipeee! But doesn't know about the shopping mall lah pula hahaha those with last minute shopping or baru ada time mau shop, guess the mall is not a good distination at this time...sure KK jam abis ni, and tatap2 my friends are having a good time...mantang2lah durang cuti....nanti kamurang...December baru hahaha.

Even an exciting moment has to come to an end...yup! After being in the office for a few hours I felt like going home pula...mana tidak me...3 of us...boring bah tiada kawan2(ada yang on leave sudah and yang lain..faham2 ja)...nasip tiada tikus di office if not boleh dengar durang berlari2(cam d office lama sya hehehe). Its so boring that even taking a nap during lunch hour is impossible...Oh no! I have another day in solitaire tomorrow(over2 juga lagi bah tomorrow). I better come up with something interesting for tomorrow to motivate me and myself wakakaka
