I left you in the morning,
And in the morning glow,
You walked a way beside me
To make me sad to go.
Do you know me in the gloaming,
Gaunt and dusty gray with roaming?
Are you dumb because you know me not,
Or dumb because you know?
All for me? And not a question
I was checking out the BB playbook @Midvalley when he said "It is too small, do you want iPad II ?" I was stunned for awhile but my brain took over my body quite fast when I thought I heard someone said "Seriously?" but then I realized it was me who said it. And he said "Why not?" So here I am now writing my blog via iPad II at Coffeebean, Solaris while waiting for my kids. And the best part is the battery last longer compare to other device, probably because it does not multitask as much as other device does.
It is already 19th day of Ramadhan and normally once or twice during fasting month, we will go for buffet since the kids love it. So I planned to bring the kids for a ramadhan buffet at Royale Bintang, Curve but the restaurant is fulled hence we went to Bubba Gumps instead.
We had to wait for about 20 mins until we were seated and I have been dragging my kids around the mall to kill the time. We went for Maghrib prayer first before we headed back to the restaurant for our meal. In that way we could eat our dinner slowly without having to rush for the prayer later.
Once we seated, I can't help myself from ordering my favourite dish - Scampi. Apart from that we ordered Shrimping Dippin or was it Dippin Shrimp...I can't really recalled. What my daughter did, she just browse through the menu and pointed it out to the waiter.
For dessert, we chose That Chocolate Thing. It was awesome.
A thought went up my mind to-day
That I have had before,
But did not finish,--some way back,
I could not fix the year,
Nor where it went, nor why it came
The second time to me,
Nor definitely what it was,
Have I the art to say.
School holiday is back again. Only two weeks but I know the kids will be restless if I were to let them stay at the day care for the entire two weeks. Hence I signed up 3d2n "Kem Anak Soleh" for them which is located in Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan. It is like 7 mins from my home. I know it sounds lame but I could not bear to send my kids for holiday camp in the woods or going for a trip in Malacca with their schoolmates. All those stories about kids being missing under their teachers care is making me scared. Am I being over protective as a mother? I can't help it. With all those scary stories nowadays, how can I not be.
Guess what? I can float and paddle from one side of the pool to the other...hehehehehe I'm so proud of myself. But I still need to fix my breathing technique as I could nor held my breathe longer underwater.
And the headache has slowly disappeared. I have change the lenses' power and I feel a bit better.
Can't wait for the next lesson.
Never seek to tell thy love,
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind does move
Silently, invisibly.
I told my love, I told my love,
I told her all my heart;
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears,
Ah! she did depart!
Soon as she was gone from me,
A traveler came by,
Silently, invisibly
He took her with a sigh.
Whoever knows me, I mean really really knows me, would know that I'm so deeply in love with high tech gadgets, well apart from my books. I can do without golds or diamonds or fashionable clothing or even branded handbags. I don't mind not having Louis Vutton or Gucci or even Prada. No thank you to Tiffany or 916 gold or platinum diamond ring. But I can't sleep properly without at least one high tech gadgets in my possession.
Well since I'm not a millionaire, I couldn't afford to be buying all the high tech gadget most of times hence I just make do with what I can afford.
I have a Blackberry Bold II and when Blackberry Touch II has been introduce, I just keep myself calm because that Bold is actually a gift so I told myself to shut up and be happy. Well I am happy, I got it for free, didn't I.
Then I got Vaio net book for my birthday and I was ecstatic. The Dell laptop that we've been having since year 2001 is like a dinosaur now, the RAM is so slow and the battery cannot be used anymore. We have to connect it to plug it to the power
I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us -- don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
I've finished another book last Saturday, Second Chance by Jane Green. I've been having this book since 2009, if I'm not mistaken. I bought it online during one of my book mania shopping spree. Since it is softcover book, it is easy for me to carry in my handbag.
The Story :
Holly, Olivia, Paul, and Saffron are mourning the death of their close friend Tom. They were all close friends when they were school mates in London, but now they are in their late thirties and are all in various stages of life and relationships. Most of them haven't seen each other in years and had mainly kept in contact with each other through Tom.
Holly is fairly wealthy, has two adorable kids, and an unhealthy relationship with her distant lawyer husband. Olivia is single after dating a man for the better part of a decade and runs an animal shelter. Paul is married to the beautiful and successful Anna, but they have been unable to have children which is making Anna miserable. Finally, Saffron is becoming a successful movie star and is moving on up, but her relationship with a very famous star who is married could bring her ruin.
Tom was always there for each one of them and because of his death, they are all reuniting once again. And maybe because of Tom, they will all get their second chance at happiness.
