Sangat la melting nyer

"Arif u got homework today?" my daily question to Arif, my youngest. He is in Year 1.

"Yes", he said.

"Pegi la buat homework". Cuba pujuk dengan nada paling lembut dekad ini.

"Ala mama, buat homework, so tired la ma..." anak cuba berdalih. Sangat selesa melepak dengan mama on the bed, snuggling his mama.

"U know what Arif, your class teacher said, Arif ni nakal, selalu tak buat homework". Anak diam bila dengar bonda yang penuh kasih sayang ni berbicara.

"and your teacher said, if Arif does not do his homework, she is going to denda mama and ayah". Anak diam lagi.

"Your teacher said, she is going to let mama and ayah stand in the hot sun. U know how hot the sun is kan?" anak mengangguk tanda setuju.

"You and my father will melt", he said.....

"yes my son, we will melt."

Arif bingkas bangun turun ke bawah and reached for his books. Buat homework. Minutes later, "Ma, homework dah siap!"

hmmm....that seems to work. Alhamdulillah....

...and we live happily ever after....

sedih betul scan newspaper semalam. tak payah baca sebenarnya, tengok gambar pun dah meraung hiba. malu nak teruskan baacan sebab dah tau apa citernya. A picture say a 1000 words? indeed. a man and a young woman in towels. in a hazily lit room. cheh! tak de kelas langsung dok citer pasal politician kita yang kononnya menjalinkan hubungan terlarang. macam la yang lain baik macam malaikat! kalau betul nak tunjuk, kasi tunjuk semua la...ni muka mamat tu blur pulak. tak faham sungguh la strategi strategist2 ni. misteri le konon. sudah2 le wei...who ever yang upload video tu! publisiti murahan tahap lebih gaban dari gaban wa cakap lu.....!

kenapa la our local media take up the story and made it front page? why oh..why...? integriti media dipersoalkan. agaknya attention is given sebab kalau kita tahu who that man in question, akan memantapkan ekonomi negara, akan menurunkan harga petrol, akan menurunkan harga ayam...ataupun tak perlu bayar tax lagi dan rakyat jelata akan live happily ever after....

pilihanraya umum semakin dekat agaknya and now is the elimination phase. Kill...kill....Kill....!!!!!


p.s. today's editorial pages. pages tau bukan column! ada ulasan pulak pasal gambar semalam tu. ramai sungguh la nak bagi pendapat. kagum betul dengan keperihatinan sesetengah pihak pasal isu ni.

marvelous monday .....NOT!!!!!

nothing seems to go right today. my morning to work was greeted with a traffic jam. belum masuk hiway lagi. dah sesak. terhegeh2...... damn#1.

sepanjang perjalanan, ramai juga male drivers yang bawak kete slow macam siput. kalau agak nak kerja bawak keta macam betul nak pegi kerja. ni macam nak makan gaji buta! who is that MP yang kata female drivers are slow and the cause of many road congestion?????? damn #2!

at work...aaarrggghhhh..!!!! memacam pasal. meeting yang menyakitkan rongga telinga dan menepukan fikiran. tambah pulak big boss kasi beberapa das to yrs truly...lagi macam nak tikam je sape yang buat lawak bodoh hari ni! Yup.....im getting physical. damn...#3! double damn!!!

and why is this headache tak mau lega2...???? makan panadol dah berapa round. dalam keta nak balik tadi dah telan 2 biji. lega sekejap...mai balik. panadol ciplak ke? last weekend was a lousy one. spent my saturday mostly sleeping. sunday, went out with anak2, tgk wayang....(citer pun bosan, melayan arif je sebenarnya. dapat pulak org sebelah buka kasut...semerbak bau sepanjang wayang. ishh...kalau tak sebab bawak anak, mau ku pelangkong je budak ni! sakit kepala wa!!!!)...balik rumah...wa lepak lagi kat katil. lelap lagi. selalunya, my headache will bye2 after a short nap. kalau pi doktor, sure kata....'aaahhh...stress ni...' semua stress. wa tak stress, ok. damn#4!

apasal negatif banyak sangat ni? selalunya negatif ni sekejap saja menyapa. cepat2 brush it away and focus on the positive side of things. bersangka baik is always my approach. selalunya macam switch on and off je. this time,....agak sesak dan hampir kalah.....damn#5!!!!

really hope a better day tomorrow. positive aura...happier mood....a terrific tuesday....(not a terrible tuesday...heeeyyyy....!!!!!! negative...negative....).

or perhaps...that kacip fatimah capsules i am taking right now....wa panas!!!!!!!!!!!!......hmmmm....
