My Lil' Boy Not Too Long Ago

As Iwan would say it "Too Fast Too Furious".... That's how I feel about him. He has grown up so much that sometimes I'm amazed. Just by comparing the "last year Iwan" and the "this year Iwan" it's spectacularly different. He has grown so much in his way of thinking, in his way of expressing love and affection, in his way of communicating and his new liking for girls...... tee hee hee ....

He is going through the "Suara Pecah" process now. It's quite hilarious to hear him talk with a slight deep husky tone and you can surely hear the difference every week. Soon he will be making his first Identity Card this year. Yes, he's just turned 12. Celebrated his birthday @ BSC with Auntie Ira, myself, my brother in law, Imran and Omar [Imran's bestfriend]. Not quite a normal 12 year old birthday party you could say, but we all sure enjoyed the company we had.

Iwan entered a race car competition at Bangsar Shopping Centre with his friends. And I can see what all the excitement was all about, because Ira and I were caught up in the race as well. The first round he was up against two other chinese ladies. Yup, no typo error on that. Two chinese ladies who were much older than myself and Ira. The thrill of people cheering your name, the amount of people watching, chasing your competitor, hearing and seeing the number of rounds that you've made... that got Ira & I truly excited and told Iwan that he better let us know when is his next race. Now I can cleary understand why he has so much passion with cars and PS2 besides being a boy that is.

While waiting for Iwan's next round, we were dying for food and so we decided that DOME would be the place where we would stuffed our faces and smoked our lungs out. It was just the five of us this time, minus Iwan who was chilling with his friends at the race track up stairs on the third floor.

Have you had a conversation with 7 and 8 year olds? WoW, their vocabulary is just amazing!! Ira and I had our mouth open while watching them talk.

-It goes to show how much man kind have progressed and to see what our future will be-

TriLy Tuesday

Had the girlfriends over the other night and it was a BLAST!!! They brought baguettes, tomatoes, rocket salad, tuna and we made yummy finger food dinner, lemons for the Vodka, Pringles and POPcorns!!. It was the first time I actually witness popcorn made in a microwave, call me “Jakun” if you want, but hey when is it ever a norm within our circle of friends that we POP popcorns in the house.

We ate in front of the TV with loud music from the iTunes while bitching about the VJs on TV.

After stuffing our face with the delicious tuna sandwiches, we toast to ourselves with Lemon Drops. Nothing like a Vanilla lemon drops in those lil’ Japanese tea cups. Plus we had it like an official “Tea Ceremony”, where the person that does the preparation sat with legs folded, in the most Geisha manner. LOL, it was hilarious.

I guess what I really enjoyed was after the numerous shots of Vodka and you can’t really pronounce your words properly. There was a statement or rather a question that came out from one of the girls which cracked us up like mad. She said "trily?" This normally happens when you have two words in mind and your mouth works doubly fast. What she had in mind was “truly?” and “really?” We all just burst out laughing like monkeys.....

And we all agreed that every now and again we ought to have our “TriLy Tuesday With The Gerls” party.



I really truly lurrve you all my TriLy Tuesday GerlFriends !!!!

Lessons of Love and Lust…

Has the thought of cheating on your partner or your partner cheating on you ever crossed your mind? Well I won’t lie….. I’ve had that thought before subconsciously and consciously it did happen. Am not taking any credit for it that’s for sure, but sometimes shit happens and you learn from it.

I would say that my past relationships were formed more from the idea of lust rather than love. You know, sometimes it’s peer pressure, sometimes it’s “why not la…. he seems like a nice fella”, or even from a message that a lil’ cupid [your friends without the wings, bows & arrows] passed on or even because of him being very persistent. Well at least this kind of things only happens when you are in your teens or at least early twenties.

One of the many things that I’ve learned is that it ain’t a nice feeling when you find out that your other half is cheating on you or vice versa. Goodness…. When that happened to me, I stopped breathing. Felt like there was a brick stuck in my air hole. And the nights of endless crying and wondering WHY? Why? Why? will begin. Questions of “what does she have that I don’t?”, “why now?”, “what did I do”, “what was it I didn’t do?”….. and the list goes on, trust me on this. And I got to a stage where I went mental…. Like a real Looney walking and pacing around the house. Damn… don’t want to be in that situation again.

After a few weeks of recovering from the trauma, I began to realize that maybe subconsciously it was what I wanted but could never admit it in my conscious mind. Well like what they say “30% of the time our mind operates consciously and 70% of the time our mind operates subconsciously”. Whatever it was I thank god for it for many reasons.

If not for it, I would not be with the person I am with now.
If not for that, I would never have learned that “In order to love another you have got to love yourself first”.
If not for it, I would have never realized that “Always place yourself as first priority”
If not for that, I would have never believed in love itself.

I’ve been through enough relationships to know that you can’t find love but love will find you.
