Doing okey

Salam everybody,

11.30am, received phone call from TM KL.

TM: Cik, line talipon dah ok?
Me: Belum, nampak lampu kelip-kelip lagi dan dial tone masih bising.
TM: Kami dah tukar port dah.
Me : Ok kita tengok hari ni, kalau problem, saya lapor lagi. Terima kasih, encik.
TM: Ok. Terima kasih.

11.45am.krinnnng, krinnng ..... house phone.
Voice : Saya dari streamyx. Dah ok kah streamyx cik?
Me: nampak ok. Saya akan lapor lagi jika ada problem. Siapa yang call ni?
Voice: Tini
Me: Terima kasih, Tini.
Voice: Sama-sama

Everything is working well now only after yours faithfully called a contact person in TM to look into it (maybe not).Well, that's it. Now, it's noon. Please excuse me, I want to follow USRAH @ TV9 , Dr.Fatimah Zaharah tafsir Surah Yassin, Part 3.

PS: I learned that other users also had a problem in internet connection during the GE.

Hopefully

Salam everybody! It's 3.30pm and Thursday. The DSL light on the modem is not quivering. And I hope it'll remain. Touch wood! For the last few days it had been blinking and quivering to my frustration. Well, I had lunch with my friend, Faridah Kazi. Where to? Seri Arfah for Nasi Ayam? No. So common. Wak Suffian for Nasi Padang? Parking problem. Biduri for Makanan Panas etc?? Not used to the place. Finally our choice - Patani @ Jalan Sultan Ismail, comfortable, easy parking. We had white rice with Tom Yam Patani Special,(mixture of sotong, prawns, vege) Kailan Goreng Minyak(also got sotong, aiseh!) Telur Bungkus ( smaller size now) Sweet Sour Udang ( more prawns), Sambal Belacan with timun. Sorry, left my camera. So no pictures. While waiting for our food,

Salesman : Maaf, saya ada buku.....(showed some books on Agama)
Me n Faridah : Terima kasih, Kami dah tua, dah ada buku-buku tu.
Salesman: Ni buku untuk kanak-kanak, lagu kanak-kanak (started to sing )
Me : Terima kasih kerana menyanyi tapi kami tak mahu. Eh, Susah ye nak berniaga ni.
Salesman: (Smile) Tapi kami banyak sabar. Terima kasih puan (and walked away)

If we don't go to the mountain, then the mountain will come to you, so goes the saying. But in this case only special books not sold in book stores. Not me lah, I don't have the face to meet people and start telling them, with a smile, ' Puan, beli buku ni puan. Untuk derma...(blah,,blah). Not me,These young usahawan have to have the art of persuasion and thick skinned face!

At Patani, we met En Abd.Latiff Wahab (former art lecturer) having lunch with his family. He is spending his time doing nothing (tak buat apa, he said) but painting.
Well the food was nice. Hungry mar ...... licin semuanya. Sent Faridah back to her 'kantor'

Me: Thanks Faridah for the newspapers and stamps. (Faridah belanja I!)
Faridah: Thanks for the lunch!
Me: Not at all.
(BTW, the light is cooperating.Hopefully .....)

In a whiz

Salam everybody! Cupcakes? To eat, stare or keep?

Four pretty cupcakes with cute butterflies in cold storage.Thanks Mr Sorr.
Two for alang and two for angah
Don't waste, taste it! Meant to be eaten!

Oh! The thick fondant on top is removable as lid. If
you can't finish the fudge, put the lid back. Maybe someone
can finish it for you.

But in a whiz, clear everything, sweet moist choco fudge!
The 'lid' too sweet lah...(and hard too..)

Friends

Salam every body.
At 2.00 pm, JY remembered that he had a wedding invitation. Aisehman, yours truly has just finished cooking and the table set for lunch. But that was not a problem. After all the invitation will be until 4.00 pm. Old friends, must go, mar. So after lunch, quickly got ready. "Eh, tak payah gosok-gosok baju," he sounded. How can! At the wedding, we met some of our pensioner friends, not seen for quite some time. There was Dato' Hj. Abd.Rahim, ever so friendly former State Education Director and Tn.Hj Hashim Joko, former lecturer now a canteen operator. We had a nice time chatting with them. So it's not the makan (I only ate a little) that's important but meeting friends and the company that matters. Here is a picture with
some of them. The two ladies are still working. Our former colleagues are from left: Tn Hj Anuar (former officer from District Education Office Kuantan), Tn.Hj.Yaakub (the host, JY"s closed friend and former Principal), YM Tengku Fathi (former Music lecturer). Now Tn Hj.Yaakub and Tengku Fathi are 'guru simpanan' (teacher on called or pooled teachers)meaning that their services will be needed to replace teachers who are away attending courses or on long leave.
