A Moment in Time.......

Today, the whole load of them are going back to Nenek's house in Gombak. Opi, Isya, Aboy and Emi (Maid cum Music Teacher). For another 2 nights of screaming, jumping around, eating Nenek's cooking and enjoying much loved attention from Nenek and Atuk.

My sis, Pona is picking them up after work. So I told both Opi and Aboy....

"Tell Mak Na to drive elok-elok. Don't scream at every other driver that she sees. No need to drive so fast"

The two looked at me blankly. Knowing the impossible task........

You see, Pona has this amazing Jekyll & Hyde persona that comes alive whenever she's behind the wheels of her Kancil. She's such a soft spoken person, smiling all the time and just so sweet. But put her in the kingdom of her Kancil and she becomes an all-swearing Godzilla! She swerves in and out and swearing all the above-18 words, irregardless of any care in the world!

Anyway, last night we watched the delayed telecast of Miss Universe.

Opi asked me "Masa mummy muda-muda, pernah masuk tak macam ni"
"Of course, I was..." before I could finish, dear Husband added in...
"Mummy cuba masuk daerah Gombak...tapi kalah dgn Sg Penchala"

All of them rolled and laughed like there was no tomorrow. All - as in Opi, Aboy, Isya (though I doubt she understood) and of course, Husband.

Sheesh...can't a mother of two just pretend?

swinging windy at your public diary, even a bit behind the singlers handicap. so... lets the choc drippings, and from there u'll know how to handle it. Don't be a scrub in the valley if u can be a pine on top of the hill. If can't be a pine, then be a scrub or a bush or bit of grass. so, be the best of whatever you are! fair dinkum mate!
