February Started With A BANG!

Uh huh... that was what happened to me yesterday. B A N G !

OK, it didn't look that bad when I checked it out at first. The motorcyclist lost his balance (I think) while trying to avoid the bus on the other lane, according to Sis. What was I doing? My mind was somewhere else when suddenly, BANG. Next was, "Shit!" Sis shouted. Me? Cool only... No reaction. (Later I told her that she should be careful not to say all the 4-letter words in front of Baby G and Sis said that she didn't realise that she said Shit hehe...) Not sure what hit my car that time. So, I put on the hazard light and got down from the car. It was bumper-to-bumper on LDP that time.

The motorcyclist was a Malay chap. His number plate also dunno flew where already. So, I didn't get his number. Looking at his face, I knew he won't be able to pay me anything. Plus, I think he was in shock too. U know what he did after that? He just rode off on his bike. Niamah... Me? I was also a bit shocked but I knew there was nothing I could do, and I was a bit embarrassed to have caused a minor jam as I was on the fast lane.

Sigh...

Anyway, at first it looked okay. That picture was taken at the Pavilion's carpark. But later on, to my horror, we found that the bumper was a bit "out" of its place!! It looked fine earlier. I guess the bumps on the roads contributed to that... double sigh! So keik sum that time...

This morning, went to the workshop, they said can't do it now, have to wait after CNY. Gonna cost a few hundred bux... SIGHHH...

To interested "punters" out there, lai lai lai, today I give free number... 8-3-8-3.

MY BROADBAND IS . . .

S I G H ! ! !
Be back soon!

P/S: Also very buzzy at work laa... *sigh summore*

In Loving Memory Of...

...Zewt's mom who passed on a few hours ago.
With deepest sympathies, Zewt...
Picture nicked from here.

Yesterday, his mom fainted, was sent to the hospital, doc confirmed it was stroke. She was put on the machine, having 2-3 days "left". And he wrote, "Ya’ know, so many times my mom said we took her for granted, and we never appreciate her, and that when the day comes when we want to take her out and make her happy, she might be gone. She was right. And it will be the biggest regret of my life."

How often do we take our loved ones for granted? Only you will know the answer... Just a reminder to Myself and whoever needed...

A few of us were lucky enough to have met Zewt (for just a brief moment) during the Together Gather Bloggers' Party 2007. Eventhough we do not really know him that well, but reading what went through his mind yesterday was really... really heart wrenching... and he just wrote this, "Life has indeed changed. As I walked around my house, I can finally see the gigantic effort of hers to put the whole house in order. From all the cleaning she has done… to the little decorations here and there. I realised my mom is a very artistic person."

Really can sob reading those two entries! And I just had to blog about it. Yesterday was like a day of "bad news". Kat twittered that her friend's husband died in a car accident. And then Will posted about his friend who met with a fatal accident. Next, was Zewt's mom. This is like too much for a day...

And Life goes on...

I hope there's a beautiful garden in heaven...

In Loving Memory...

...of Nyonyapenang's brother, Tom (23 July 1940 - 13 March 2007)
May he rest in peace...

Last night, there was a small bloggers' meet up at Subang Parade. We went to meet up with Wennnn for the first time, and her Jon, together with Penny, her aunt whom she calls "mummy". The rest of the attendees were Laundryamah, Sasha & baby Jayden, Aceone, Kenny, Nyonyapenang & Winn.

First, it was dinner at Esquire Kitchen Restaurant, followed by dessert at Swensens. Wennnn became the Santa Rina as she had gifts for all of us. Me, I got an Angel's Notebook & a Superstar Keychain. Thanks, Wennnn! It was nice meeting you, Jon & Penny!

To all the Taggers who have diligently been tagging me (almost everyday!), thanks for all the love you have showered, I'll need time to answer them... My mind has been very tired lately...

Tears.Tremor.Tagged

Two days ago, I received an e-mail from Eve which made me very sad. She has been diagnosed of having lupus, an autoimmune (means the immune system fights the body itself instead of protecting it) disease in which the immune system becomes hyperactive and attacks normal tissues. Last August, her mother passed away, due to lupus. So, it could be hereditary in Eve's case. A few years ago, a young cousin of mine (in her 20's) also passed on due to this illness. Up until now, there is no cure for lupus, only treatment. But still.....

Nope, I wasn't in tears when I received Eve's e-mail. Instead, I think I was in denial for half a day. I was in a daze. I was confused about my own emotions. I wasn't sure if I was was sad, upset or angry. My spirits were dampened... The tears only came in the evening as I was talking to my mom over the phone about Eve... I didn't know what happened then... That was two days ago, 5th March.

Yesterday, 6th March, a few minutes before noon, I suddenly felt that my chair was shaking. I looked at the arm-rest, gosh, it was shaking too! But when I tried to see if my colleague felt what I felt, she didn't turn to me at all, she was working very hard on the computer. A lot of things came to mind at that time, and right after that, I felt giddy. So, I asked her if she felt anything. She said she did. Alamak... so, I wasn't hallucinating or dreaming. I even thought that maybe there was a big lorry/trailer passing by the building.

The tremor was due to an earthquake that hit Sumatra. And I felt the tremor again a few minutes before 2pm. This time, I knew it wasn't X-Files related...

And the finale... You know, for the past few days, everyday also I kena tagged! Gosh... I told a few of them that I think I'm gonna be spending my "blogging life" answering tags! I think I have about 5-6 tags to do! Very FKK! BUT, I suppose tagging is loving... so, to reciprocate, I'll answer the tags.

kyh & monk[t]icon wanted to see how my Desktop looks like. Nah...

My desktop for the past 3 years.
I like 'convenience', hence the clutter on my desktop.
BUT... a new one is coming soon...
I'll show off to you one fine day...
*fingers & toes crossed*
