happy mother's day 2012

Does this situation familiar to you? No matter how old you are, when calling home, your opening line would be,'is mom there?', even when the one answering the phone is another important person in your life, your dad! The first person you want to talk to is always your mom. Couldn't remember the last time i called home and my opening line,'is dad there?'huhu.. Sorry dad, it doesn't mean that i love you less or maybe a lil bit, but being in mom's womb for 9 months and 10 days, gave us a bond that is so important and special. So, to my beloved mom, pn hindon othman, happy mother's day! Love you so very much!!

absent minded me

huh? what? say again?

yes, i am absent minded. today, i lost my parking ticket AGAIN! this time at jusco equine, seri kembangan. the the fine is RM20. let me recall my lost tickets history. the first time was at ioi mall, puchong in maybe 2005. the fine is RM30. the second incident was at klcc, year. this time the fine is RM50! but, alhamdulillah i found the ticket under the car beside mine. so, i got refund. i didn't think to look under other's cars during that time. just mine. the next incident was earlier this year at ioi mall again. fine remain the same but this time, my mom paid it for me! thanks mom! and the latest one was today, huhu..

losing parking tickets is not the only thing that made me absent minded! have you ever threw money in a dustbin? well, i have! quite a few times actually. i was holding money in my hand. after a while, i forgot it was money, thought it was just trash paper. threw it in the dustbin without looking. arrived home and realized  that money wasn't enough. think it through,'ya Allah, i threw it away!' if i remember correctly, the biggest amount is RM50... other proofs are:

• using the car remote to slow down the tv volume! baffled why the volume didn't change and then realized it was the wrong remote. fortunately, car was park where the signal couldn't reach!
• putting on different pair of shoes. walked confidently without realizing anything wrong because both shoes are black and have the same heel heights. only knew the mistake when my sister commented on it.. hoping that others didn't notice!
• looking for spectacles only realizing am wearing it! (i think this is common)

i knew that some of you people have the same problem as mine. oh, last monday i lost RM200 to a new car battery. i couldn't start my car after work that day and i did suspect that weak battery is the 'culprit.' this is the second time it happened to me. the first time was about two and a half years ago. it was after i filled in gas at shell. my guy friends helped me by first pushing the car and tried to start it. FAILED. next, the used jumper! also FAILED! after that, they transferred my friend car battery into mine and start the engine. SUCCEED!

they told me to drive (try not to get the engine dead, otherwise it wouldn't start again) to the nearest car accessories shop and get a new battery. i really am thankful to the and grateful that it happened at convenient place. by convenient, i meant places where help is easy to get. the first incident also happened at a convenient place. i couldn't imagine if it happened at a deserted place and helps are hard to find.

ps: this sunday is mother's day and 16 may is teacher's day! happy mother's day to all the mothers in the world and happy teacher's day to all the teachers in the whole world too!

[SONG] Jason Mraz - I Won't Give Up

When I look into your eyes

It's like watching the night sky

Or a beautiful sunrise

There's so much they hold

And just like them old stars

I see that you've come so far

To be right where you are

How old is your soul?

I won't give up on us

Even if the skies get rough

I'm giving you all my love

I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space

To do some navigating

I'll be here patiently waiting

To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn

Some even fall to the earth

We've got a lot to learn

God knows we're worth it

No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily

I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make

Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use

The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake

And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend

For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn

We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in

I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not

And who I am

I won't give up on us

Even if the skies get rough

I'm giving you all my love

I'm still looking up

Still looking up

I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)

God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)

We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)

God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us

Even if the skies get rough

I'm giving you all my love

I'm still looking up
