I was reading through an article in a magazine a few years back about the curse of the crying boy - it was said that whoever owns a piece of a painting depicting a crying boy will have bad fortune befallen on them, in the form of a fire burning their away their precious belongings. It was not a specific crying boy, but rather any picture of a crying kid. Eerily, my grandparents used to own one of these painting and I have no idea of the hows and the why since the myth of the crying boy curse originated in Britain, when a group of firemen were bewildered by a string of fires that somehow involved the victims owning a painting of a crying boy... Dan Dan Dan (creepy suspense sfx)... Below is the copy that my grandparents owned, although I don't know what happened to it - probably demolished along with my grandparents' place... hmm I wonder if the curse had anything to do with that... just kidding - I don't believe in curses, just coincidences (shrugs)
Speaking of crying boys, I had watched a Korean movie called 'Baby and I' starring this cute guy and a cuter baby. The poster does no justice to the cuteness of the baby, you have to watch the kid in action to fully gush of his adorableness (sapa mau? I have a copy of the movie in my HDD)~ Look at those large round eyes and that soft fine hair~ Awww~ He's half-Korean and half-Canadian which I guess attributes towards his looks, his name's Mason Moon btw. The boy's gonna break quite a number of hearts once he grows up~

However, my baby's still the cutest in my heart~
Looking at him, my baby looks more Korean that lil' Mason~ Currently, my Cupan (nickname we gave him) is crawling and learning how to walk~
Why is it mixed kids look totally gorgeous even if their parents are not? You just have to turn on Indonesian channels and you'll find a lot of these halfies on screen. I don't get it, they play characters that are totally Indonesian but they don't even look remotely like one - most of them look Eurasian or Caucasian with no features of an Asian except for their dark hair and eyes. That said, I don't have anything against them - they're fantastic eye candy~
Moving onto my personal life - same old, same old. Nothings change - still bored out of my mind and my shoes collection is increasing. Just bought three pair of shoes the other day just to relieve my boredom. Also went to watch InkHeart with Zat and Nas on Chinese New Year - sorry guys no pics of that time uploaded since it didn't turn out well (meaning I didn't look my best in the shot ^0^) Heheheh~ There goes my resolution of not spending any more money~ For an unemployed, I sure got lots of cash to waste~ Ahh, thank goodness for all those penny pinching years~ Di simpan batah2 apa jua gunanya, the value of money is decreasing, you can buy less goods with the same amount, so why not blow it off on stuff you like now rather than regret on missing out on the opportunity?~ That was a rhetorical question btw (~_~)
My latest job interview went well and hopefully they'll contact me later with a happy news!~
Let's see what happened last week... hmmm... as usual tido akhir bangun akhir, hahah ada sekali atu bangun pkl 6.30 pm padahal tido awal udah tu around 3.00 am (for me thats quite an early time to tuck in), should have woken up at 11.00 am cuz my sleep period is 8 hours to the dot usually. Entah lelah banar tah kali usulnya tido ~15 jam either that or I'm cutting short my life according to this email I got forwarded that extending sleep time over the prescribed 8 hours can shorten one's life :P
Actually nothing much happened. The only highlights were my babies datang melawat yesterday and I rocked baby boy to sleep; and the hang out I had with Zat. We talked a storm about our life and since nothing happening to me most of the chat was focussed on Zat. Nas was supposed to join us tapi belacan banar anak atu, tertido ia padahal she's the one yang plan the get together on Sat ptg. Hahaha~ well you gotta roll with the situation and I think Zat and I made the best of it even though it was only the two of us. Heheh Zat still has her fringe clipped on since she claimed she made a mess of cutting it (she didn't let me see it in all its short glory ^u^) and she looked adorable in her black jacket and her whole look is quite 'Twilight'ish even though she had been cultivating her look far back before the movie came out. I think you'll blend right in Zat with the cast and that's a compliment in case you're wondering~
My niece had her first day in Kindergarten on Tuesday~ Hahaha her mum said she looked macam tong when she first tried out her school uniform~ Iatah kena tambah ribbon bajunya to distract from her bunalness~ She's an adorable darling, that one, and she made us laugh too when her mom related the story of how she dengan bangganya greeted "Wazyoname" (What's your name) to her Lambak grandparents, showing off what she learnt on her first day of school~ Ahaks! Lawak budak atu~
So to compensate the lack of content, here's a bunch of pics for your viewing pleasure:
The niece and the uncle playing together~
Baby Boi majal babahnya kan naik basikal
Oh yeah... I did go to the cinema to watch Bedtime Stories with my sis on Wednesday. Good thing it was only $4 (ertinya sadang2 enjoyment factor nya), the movie was okay and I got a few laughs out of it. Lupa lagi ku tu aku meliat ngan my sis, I was like "eh, mliat kamu udah ceta Bedtime Stories?" and she stared at me for a few seconds before replying "Ia jua dangan ku mliat ah"~ Hahahah makin tua tah banar~
And these are the few of Batiks my mom are selling like hotcakes. Hahah buang boring ku nada gambar lain kan di post~
I love this pattern, but my mom already claimed it~
Wonder Girls (WG) is a girl band group from Korea, and most of their songs are upbeat and catchy. And I especially enjoyed their funny music videos. This is their latest one, featuring JYP (Jin Young Park) the creator of WG:
They're so addictive and lift up my mood~ If you catch me driving on the roads, you'll probably be seeing me singing to the song with the bass turned up high~ I got the songs in mp3 format if anyone wants them~ together with TVXQ's latest album, MIROTIC~ but I only liked the song Mirotic, the rest entahlah, probably I need to listen to them a few times to get the feel~...
I also got the Korean Drama: "Painter of the Wind" but not completed yet. It's about a girl that has to live as a boy in order to paint in ancient Korea (entah era yang mana, pokoknya tahun lama2 ala2 Jewel in the Palace atu lah). The story was initially luan dramatic for me at first coz the girl was so annoyingly hotheaded, making trouble where it could be avoided - but udah akhir2 ani makin shiok cetanya. I also got "Gokusen II", the rest of "How to Meet a Perfect Neighbour" dari episode brapa nda ku ingat tapi complete udah for those yg menculik cetaku dari dulu~ and I'm starting "Innocent Love" starring Horikita Maki, who starred in "Hana Kimi" as the main character. Eh banyak eh, ku list saja lah:
Korean Movie: "Baby and I" pasal org gangster yg suddenly saddled with a baby
Korean Movie: "My Mighty Princess" on a girl yg terlalu power payah cari boyfriend
HK Movie: "Shaolin Girl" on a girl that can do Shaolin... huahahaha~ duh!
Taiwan Drama: "Miss No Good" only random episodes - alum ku liat, mun lawa baru ku download lagi
Japan Drama: "Guren Onna" gila-gila cetanya, ntah aku pun nda paham
Japan Drama: "Shingehoshi" an embalmer with great abilities to restore the dead to their former physical form no matter how gruesome they died (Warning: Ada sikit 18SX)
Japan Drama: "Oh! My Girl!" a guy suddenly being a guardian for his niece who is a big star
US: "Supernatural" latest eps (currently on break, returns 15th Jan)
US: "Bones" latest eps (currently on break, returns 15th Jan)
US: "True Blood" season 01 complete
US: "Pushing Daisies" latest eps
dll... nada wah, saja bazirkan bullets~
I was busy at my bro's at Muara taking care of the babies that I didn't get the time to post. So this post will probably the dumping ground of the rest of this week's happenings~
My nephew, Effan, got a teething fever on Thursday and kept everyone awake the whole night. He was so clingy that I couldn't get him to lay him on his mattress and had, at one time, to sleep holding him. Alhamdulillah~ fever nya reda lepas sehari tapi kesian keluar red spots at some parts of his body - ala2 jerawat baru tumbuh~ My mom said its the aftereffects of the fever with the body trying to get rid of the heat.
Kecian my widdle pumpkin~
On Friday went to a tailor with my mum and sis to make a set of three baju fesyen to be worn on my brother's engagement event next next sunday, 21st Dec. It was a last minute decision brought about by my sister wanting us to look setusut (satu suit - roughly meaning uniformed). She wanted to use a pink and this yellowish-brown (I don't know what else to call it) fabric but somehow the colour combination just didn't seem right to me. Dare I say it?... It's just... just... Ugly! Pheewww~ got that out of my chest... (jangan marah sis~) Finally we settled on a black and grey chiffon fabric with dark pink flowers, coupled with shiny kain. It's my first baju fesyen, so I don't know how it'll look on me~ I'll post up a pic later~
I was supposed to go to the job centre in Bandar with Zat, Mas and Rab this Sat. But due to several complications, they couldn't make it and had to cancel last minute. So I went by myself, and memandangkan aku ani nda brapa kenal area bandar tersesat ku sekajap salah masuk simpang ke Kota Batu plang ku. Jauh jalan ku baru ku terjumpa kadai untuk buat U-turn. Kuang kuang kuang~ Parking ku jauh sikit, belakang the red temple since aku nda brapa terer parking sideways depan tamu kianggeh atu heheheh... So, pigilah ku arah the centre, and asked for a form. Skalinya.... I didn't bring some of the necessary documents, kuang kuang kuang lagi skali on me~ which means that I have to go back there next week~
Since alang2 aku udah d bandar, I decided to take a look around. I went to the pusat perdagangan to see apa ada. Turns out mostly stuff that you see at small booths outside big stores like tudongs, bags and jewelries.
Most of the bags were tacky fakes and the tops extra large. Boring~
Antah nda ku tau apa... traditional stuff lah usulnya
Then I went to drop off some stuff at a friend's house and having nothing else to do, went for a drive around. Last2 sampai ke Manggis and stopped at Hua Ho there for a breather from all that driving. Lucky me, I got a spot just outside the entrance door at the lower basement~
Whew~ from Batong to Mulaut to Bandar to Mentiri to Manggis to Telanai to Masin and lastly to Batong again~ Heheheh~
Have you ever seen such cuteness~ They're the cutest, lovable, scrumptious, etc. etc (I better stop or I'll start sounding like a paedophile =_=") ...pair of angels~
Hahaha~ Just wait till the third one comes along...
Just click on the image to look at a larger size of the pic
Looking at him, my baby looks more Korean that lil' Mason~ Currently, my Cupan (nickname we gave him) is crawling and learning how to walk~
