Birthday Boy

I woke up this morning to the sound of smses. With my eyes half-opened I text back. Birthday wishes from sisters, nieces, friends. Thanks for remembering my birthday. Though I don't really celebrate birthdays nowadays, expensive gifts like sports car and condominium are most welcomed.

Oh yeah, even Celcom gave me a birthday card. For the first time. Unlike my Raya card, this time they got my name right.

I wonder why Celcom is so baik hati nowadays. Thanks, next time expensive gifts like sports car and condominium are most welcomed.

My cousins Kak Teh and Abang Nik came to the office to deliver a really nice cake, courtesy of my sis Kak Ni who's in Kota Bharu for a biz trip. Thank God they didn't scream SURPRISE!!!

I don't like birthday surprises.

Malu lah.

But expensive gifts like sports car and condominium are most welcomed.

Atik gave a cheeky birthday wish though,

Happy bday. Have a meaningful life n b happy.
GET MARRIED!!! If u find the right person.

The real message: Get married!

I replied,

Thnx. I will when I hve da mood 2 get married.

Beruk Boleh!

Only in Mesia Tanahairku where you can find a training centre for monkeys aka beruk. Now that would really help to promote Visit Malaysia Year.

Read this and laugh like a beruk:

Tubuh pusat latihan beruk petik kelapa

BACHOK 3 Feb. – Kerajaan negeri atau Persekutuan digesa menubuhkan satu pusat khusus untuk melatih beruk memetik buah kelapa sebagai usaha menyelamatkan beratus ribu hektar ladang kelapa di Kelantan daripada menjadi terbiar akibat tiada tenaga manusia yang mampu memetik buahnya.

Anggota Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Jelawat Datuk Dr. Ilias Hussain berkata, pemilik beruk yang sudah berpengalaman mengenainya boleh diambil sebagai jurulatih, dengan memberi mereka elaun khas.

Imagine this scene:

"Abah...err Siti nak kawin abah..."

"Yeke? Alhamdulillah...kau nak kawin ngan sapa?"

"Err...ngan Leman...Abang Leman."

"Ohh..Leman yang duduk hujung kampung tu kan? Leman tu keje apa?"

"Abang Leman tu jurulatih abah..."

"[Wah...sportsman menantu aku]. Dia jurulatih bola ye. Liga Perdana ke? EPL? Spanish League?"

"Abang Leman jurulatih beruk, abah."

"Hahhhh!!! Ya Allah...."

Si bapa, bakal mertua beruk...oppss jurulatih beruk terperanjat beruk lalu koma.

Be true to yourself

I curi this one from Susan Loone. Don't sue me ok.

Syabas Zabrina and Joe Jer!

Congrats to Zabrina and Joe Jer for winning the Amazing Race Asia. You girls rock! Now that's the real spirit of Malaysia Boleh! Not like some goons making the longest satay, the biggest ketupat or playing batu seremban in space.

I've been rooting for these girls all the way although I thought Andrew and Syeon would come out tops. Zabrina and Joe Jer were smart enought to hire a taxi driver to show the way around Kuching. And to become the first all-female team to win an Amazing Race competition makes it even sweeter.

Syabas girls!

Err...can I have some of the USD100,000.00 to settle my credit card hutang?

p/s Pak Lah, wake up and honour these two Towering Malaysians lah.
