When greed arises

I was having my dinner late after 7pm. Mom came over with her remarks which surprised me.

"WHAT?!?!!" i sounded.

After having a brief conversation, the tiny detail are more or less lined up, and we got the puzzle matched finally.

K here's the story:

*read this before continuing--- My dad is a TV repair technician. He owns a shop which offers his skillful technical service. Anything seems to be the problem? Just send your TV, iron, rice cooker, monitor, table lamp, school project.......etc here. His shop= my house. So i can probably know what's going on, which are the problematic customers, when would the so-called aunty come n talk non-stop, n who's the uncle who always come to my house n smoke like a chimney!

1.5 month back, a remote control of dad's customer disappeared mysteriously


'twink'........ GONE!

and the mission of 'Finding Remote Control' was implemented. In short we ransacked the whole shop, relocated the TVs from east to west just to find the gray colour rectangular thingy. However the result was disappointing, the remote control was really missing! Dad and mum started to fret, but they knew fretting about it wouldn't help. They had came out to a solution- compensate by buying a new one.

Dealing with this kind of circumstances is not easy. You need to go down town, get the exact Samsung electronic device, call your customer, tell him wad happened. It would certainly bring wrath upon customer. As i know, the customer's daughter refused to accept the apology at first, things turned out better only after a lot of persuasion. The incident should have had left a bad taste in their mouth, guess that would be their first and last time sending their TV here....sigh~

Fast forward 1.5 month later, the remote control emerged unknowingly on our shop's display case.
'twink'..... BACK!


With the help of logical thinking, this 'man' (shouldn't be a woman rite) took the remote control away and found that it doesn't fit his TV at home. After struggling for about 45 days, only he decided to bring it back here. So foolish. He might think that: I'm not wicked cuz i've returned it, this is not imputable. And this is the only way to suppress his conscience. Duh

Dear 'man', you have maybe forgotten what your mama taught you...
She taught you to remember the emergency phone numbers, not to believe strangers, how to love and to care for one another AND--- Taking without permission is STEALING! Hmm.... Let's see.... Fingerprints are useful in tracing offender.... There it goes the scenes of professional workers working with forensic science, playing with the fingerprints scanner.... everything's mapped out in ma' mind....how sophisticated technology we have now..... K just forget about it. 'He's' pardoned, dad's really a saint, and i'm waiting karma to teach him a lesson.

ahh so dizzy..... hit the hay

16.10.08

Rain rain go away

It's one of those perfectly awesome cold and frosty morning for sleeping, too bad it's a thursday morning.......checked my clock, 6:35am it read....zzz dozed....




My conscience:" Wake up!"

My mind:" Er...ok..."
.
.
.
.
.
3 minutes silence.......
.
.
.
.
.
.
My conscience:" Hey wake up!"

My mind:" I know! i'm awake but the organs are still sleeping!!"

My conscience:" No excuse! Get up!"

My mind:" How many times do i need to tell you, i'm doing only a part of the biological clock transaction! It aint't under me alone idiot!"

My conscience :"You think u're smart don't cha? You better tone down..."




There it goes the wrangle between the Mind n Conscience... n the savior comes eventually




My body:" Okok i'm getting up, u both can shut up right now"




So I get myself out of bed, fold my blanket in a half-conscious state with eyes closed to enjoy the last few seconds of nice sleep.

Talking about Bed-- People find that having many pillows on bed is comfy n of course it's for hugging purpose at night; If only u can see my bed, there would be only 1 pillow and 1 blanket, no extra's. n i used to leave the Snoopy on my sis's bed (a birthday gift, sorry cousin, i don't use bolster) To me, having more than 1 pillow is already suffocating!

Exposing myself to the bright fluorescent light, having hard time opening my eyes as they are trying to adjust the light levels inside by contracting sphincter muscle. (ok ok.. take ur time Mr. Schincter, u r free to contract)

After having a set of getting ready, the extra good energy comes from within puts me i'm in such a bright mood with sunny clouds developing upon me. What a good day! :D Lace up my sneakers, it's time to have some breakfast.

I peered into the kitchen, nobody's there (mom went market) N i saw this:



*
The Black Bean Whole Grains Meal consists of black bean, wild rice, sword bean, gingko nut, pumpkin seed, wheat grass, buck's wheat, black sesame, white sesame,.......................wadever bean wadever sesame. Make it simple-- Rich in dietary fiber, calcium, vitamin E, iron n anthocyanins(wad's this??). Make it even shorter la-- Good for health! :D

Yes Mummy loves us, n you can see her consciousness about healthy eating. She applied the 1st basic rules in kitchen- control the use of oil while cooking. Oil makes food tastier in fact, but it creates only short lived satisfaction. Take into account at the same time, health leads to something more permanent =)

Ok back to the black bean meal. The direction is noted: Brew in boiling water. Instead of using boiling H2O, i use boiling soy milk which improves the flavor :P

Pour the hot soy milk into a bowl, brew it. Stir gently.. Taa-daa~!!



See the yellow yellow biji? It's white sesame. n the dark dark biji should be the so-called main character Black Bean.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~!!

Burp~~ (excuse me..)


It tastes more or less like porridge with crushed bean. It's nutritious and healthy food that tastes good. Honor yourself for the healthy choice, choose---
Black Bean Whole Grains Meal! =D

Ok time for school~!
Wad a wonderful and misty morning! Reached the key, got in the car, started engine. I used to take the tree-lined hill road instead of busy main road. Driving through green woods and mist. Took a look at my left hand side, Alam Damai was covered in mist, it looked really 'damai'... lol
Ma' campus is near to my house, so no worries can drive slowslow. I used to park my car (not mine la, dad's car XD ) outside campus, so to make sure there's parking spaces, depart from home 30 minutes earlier is a Must. Having extra 20 minutes before class started, i decided to stay inside car listen to JJ & Rudy hitz.fm morning crew instead of waiting doing nothing in class

"Tomorrow's thursday? hai~~" "not again...." "why so fast..." many such remarks and vocal mourning can be heard on wed or thurs itself. Yes nobody likes thursday apparently. And since LAN class has been canceled that day, we called it a day! whoo-hoo~!!

Huh it was pouring already outside and i didn't bring ma' umbrella. Ran to my car, ended up soaked through. The rain fell down, washed away the stuffy, dusty, filthy, city air. The sky was dark, only the sounds of thunder disturbed the city. It brought refreshing breeze. But I would like to say tat i don't like raining because heavy rain brings heavy mood for no reason.



Wondering why i was so free sitting inside car snapping and playing with mobile phone? Good question. That was because a car on my right hand side was double parked and i was prevented from departing. There was nothin else i could do. Looking out the windscreen, listening the rain pounded on car roof, letting my mind wanders, imagining who's the irresponsible driver..........

would it be A...B.......C......or E? how bout G?

or maybe this! lol
* for those who bring kids along, i would probably pardon them, for instance H; The rest--- no! u got my goat.
oh ya the last wan is exceptional as well (yes i'm bias XP)


20 minutes passed-- no changes, i was still blocked. Thanks to BGB5525 in front of me that departed 5 minutes later, only i could escape. But i could never see the double-parked car's owner's face!

To those who love practicing double parking, please keep an eye on ur car while doing your banking stuff, eating, da-pao-ing or wad. Your car is not only blocking our original, legally parked car, you're blocking part of the street making it highly congested too!

The non-human living beings

20 minutes ago i wanted to be a good girl and finish my report. Now, the page is still blank and i can't get a move on. The incident yesterday is still roiling through my mind, and it's stabbing me with guilt.

I was driving home in the afternoon, not long after leaving Merawan Alam Damai heading for the last traffic light b4 reaching my house, i drove my 1400kg car over a dead doggy, n the doggy experienced second-time-drove-over. The car was rocked quite a bit and i could feel the front left wheel went over something 'quite hard'... it should be the doggy's head... (sorry i know it's ruthless! >.<) I was completely numbed and saddened by wad happened. A voice from no-where "what have you done?!" came even stronger than the song 'fall for you' by Secondhand Serenade played on hitz.fm. I did noticed there's 'something' on the road from 50m away actually, and i thought it was a map or bag simply dumped by people. Just the moment before driving over the 'thing', i realized it's a Dog.

As i reached home, i talked nothing n handed the car key back to my dad then walked upstairs. I kept on apologizing in my heart cuz there was nothing else i could do. Sorry.... God bless the doggy please...

Over the last few months, the population of stray cats roaming around our double storey shoplots is growing. Among the stray kitties, the only one which visits my house most often is him-- Yellojii (don't ask me y tis name)

Cats meow to get wad they wan- food, attention, affection. The moment i open the folding door every morning , he's already there staring with his big, luminous eyes (hey gorgeous, good morning~ :P)

If we have an amount of food left after meals, we'll just top up the food dish outside our shop. There was once we had nothing to give him. He meowed excessively to start demanding for more attention. As the saying goes-- Ignore them, they'll leave. (it's applicable in situation of meeting 'those' thing too, ignore them! or maybe fight back using foul words XP)

After washing the dishes and getting ready to run upstairs for shower, to my surprise he was still there with his legs buckled. By glancing at him, i had hard time ignoring his vocal blackmail. I let myself sneaked back into the kitchen, tried to see if there's anything for him, ikan bilis, prawn cracker, fish flavored cracker..... (no kidding tis fella loves Double Decker Pranky Prawn) The food cabinet was foraged again and again, aiy crackers were out of stock! I checked the last tupperware, n i found the last and only dau sha beng. I brought it our without further consideration.


I knelt down n gently touched his head.

"Here puss, this is all i have."

To my surprise, he ate it. Grind grinds grind...... 1st bite..... 2nd bite...... What?!?! Don't want already?!!?!?!?


I tried to place the dau sha beng right in front of his mouth (too lazy to move his neck maybe)...

n tis is how he treated me.... =.=''














Knowing that he would never want my dau sha pau anymore, i gave up dealing with tis choosy kitty.

*me : sui zai bau, ignorance in appreciating nice food..
*yellojii : where on earth u get tat... Eeewww!!...........


Here's some flashback spending time with tis kitty...










* his 'kai ma'- the grocery shop aunty

*present to u-- his masterpiece

* nice to see, nice to hold

*** this is his elder brother, quite greyish in colour

Beats me why parents in malaysia feed their children disinformation like animals are dirty, they hav disease.....bla bla bla..... and tis info is passed on to the next n next generation. This is why animals in m'sia get not much love. Also, the roadkill cases go unreported and worse still. A person in malaysia will be sentenced to a three-days jail n RM200 fine for animal abuse, n tis is too linient!

Animals are living beings, not inanimate object. They deserve the respect we demand for ourselves. Animals do not enjoy wearing clothes, nor it's not necessary for them 2 wear it, they do not enjoy hair/fur dyeing as well. Plz la human, if u want to offer protection, why not do more on making 'protective clothes' for our Earth which is exposed to global warming threat.

Animals are not made to be enslaved. Try spend time around a dog or a cat (rat or lizard maybe :P) u will find that these animals can feel sadness, love, pain, fear n other emotions. They are intelligent individuals.

* dear animals: plz be careful while crossing roads (look left look right, use traffic lights or overhead bridge) I believe ur children would not want to see their papa or mama with head smashed lying on the road
