[Thank you. Now allow me to switch to upper class huffy English English drawl... *think Pride & Prejudice]
I-uh say-uh, thisS erm… Blog-uh as you say… it is getting quite some erm… attention… *proceeds to sip tea out of a proper china cup and saucer…* Never did fancy Lapsang Souchong myself but ah… if thats what society is drinking, then *feinted sigh* Lapsang Souchong it must be.
[hehehe... okie back to me]
Enough of that… pardon my lapses… was just trying to say that i'm excited coz there are real live people actually reading my blog these days… out of their own volition…!!! I didn't have to force them at knife point!!! How cool is that… or as ah beng me would say : SssteEEADY LARH! So thanks guys and gals, for clicking on myopiclens
and i'm glad you enjoy my entries… Oh yes… as I promised Bett… one of my first faithful readers… I'm linking her answer to my previous entry here… -> http://bettster.wordpress.com/2006/05/ =) was just telling simin that my grandma always says… 'when the conversation turns towards toilets and poop… its a sign that you are running out of topics and you should stop the conversation.' *hehehe wise words from a wise old lady… [did i mention i LOVELOVELOVE my Poh Poh?]
oh yes… that reminds me… my individual assignment for Creative Thinking during my first year @SMU that earned me an A- from Prof. Kirpal Singh was on my maternal grandma aka my beloved Poh Poh… will post it when i find it… =) Prior to that, Poh Poh has also been the subject of my O-Level's history project on 'A person i admire'. =)
Those close to me know that Poh Poh is one the recipients of my strongest affections (it works the other way round too =)… and that i'd do anything to keep her safe, well and happy… I've missed her a lot since moving here… and i itch to get back… =) and her cooking…her cooking is ooohlala… no one does simple homecooked meals like poh poh does… i find myself craving her yong tau foo and her re-fried roast pork (she makes leftovers taste gourmet…i swear)
Well, for those who don't know, Poh Poh has been charged with looking with looking after me since i was ever so tiny… coz mum and dad had to go out and work work work… and i literally grew up under her wing… and was inseperable from her… i remember one incident from when i was really young.. i was hanging on to her thigh when she was trying to leave to go see my 5th aunt who was just gave birth to my cousin in London… and had to be pried off and coaxed by my aunts and mum who were there with me to send her off… in the end Poh Poh got away when my aunts diverted my attention to A&W root beer and watching aeroplanes from the viewing area… I can tell you… i kept a closer watch after that..hehe…
Poh Poh has put up with all my mischief and insolence all these years.. and still loves me the same… this goes for all my cousins and my sis too… whenever i'm back in KL either i'll call her… or if i hadn't gotten to it yet then she'll call me… then she'll nag at my mum and make sure she boils me soup… and always slips me some extra $bling$… she's looking forward very much to my graduation… and making the trip down to the commencement ceremony… i hope i'll be able to get extra tix so that she and my sis can attend too… Poh Poh has always been very supportive of us irregardless of what we do and how well we do in it… she has always delighted in every little achievement of ours… every A that each of her grandchildren achieve in school never go unrewarded… and she's always interested to know what activities we're involved in even though she probably doesn't understand the significance of it…
Much of who i am fundamentally was built by Poh Poh and she is one strong and smart lady so i'm proud of that fact… She's been through so very much in life and come so far from the humble background she was born into… I love hearing her stories about the past over and over again… and i always enjoy spending an afternoon with her, I'm still learning a lot about who she is as a person… even though i've spent a huge part of my 23 years with her…
Although we're physically apart now, Poh Poh is always in my heart and my prayers… and even my darling Derrick has commented more than once about how insignificant he is compared to her… [you know that's not true sweets... =)] I'm looking forward to seeing her soon… probs in mid-July when i finish with my internship… =)
As promised.. I will upload the assignment when i find it so you guys can read more about Poh Poh or this will prove to be one long winded entry… =)
Back to yday night… went shopping with Shi May for the stuff for the induction camp and will be lugging it all to NACLI on Saturday morning… I've got to be there at 7.30!! aaarrgggh… after a great din din… headed home and started on my first wave of backbreaking packing to move… {thank goodness for great help in the form of my guardian angel…
thanks so much for being my stalwart since last december}… packed till close to midnite, then took my second bath of the night and immediately crashed into bed…
Woke up late this morning and rushed through prepping for work…(again)… oh yes… we're officially moving next weekend i guess… pheww.. thank goodness…
Today has been like all days… little ad-hoc jobs to do… with the exception of a tiny little crisis with regards to a current running project… we were looking at possibility of having to stay late today, but because of a glitch in clockwork… we'll have to do it tomorrrow then… so i'd better go home and pack my stuff for the camp today yar… *sighsighsigh* just in case tomorrow will be late late again… also popping down to artfriend later to grab the Styrofoam boards and paints… hopefully they don't close before we get there….
ermm… i think i hear my name over the cubicle again… will run now…
Ta!
Love,
