OMG! OMG! Ooh aMm GeE!

O.M.G!

Crikey! I know am flipping out here but I can't help it. Mr.S and I spoke late last night and he chose to deliver his news then and then. Do you lot want to know what his news was?

Me mom&pop-in-law are coming to town! Yyyeeaaappiee yeaapp! They are coming, FINALLY! I know I know, I should be grateful rather than whining about it. REALLY! Am not whining about it. It just came as a surprise to me. I was expecting it so hearing it from Mr.S's mouth last night nearly gave me an eppy. Lol.

For crying out loud, it was a headcase before and now they're warming up which is definitely a good sign. I was gutted all the time thinking all sort of malarkies in my head. Now that everything is sussed out, I am relieved.

Trust me, it took everybody donkey years to push aside crappy ego and nonsense. Hey, I am happy when Mr.S is happy! Now let's wait for their date so we both can plan their stay properly.

Wish us luck!!

Love,

Lilly Ishak

Premières Lectures ;)

HaHa... YES! am trying my best to pronounce my french properly. Well at least I know this short story -

"The Hen & Her Chicks"

La Poule Et Ses Poussins

Well I downloaded an e-book for beginners and found this one. It is a very old book published in 1869. An easy learning for me as it provides short and easy pieces in prose and verse with a complete vocabulary. I think! {Crikey moses!! Not so easy since am still picking up on my vocabs!} Lol. Do you want to know the story? You probably can read this to your kids as a bedtime story.

"Petits, venez; petits! petits! petits! petits!"

["Come little ones! Little one! Little one! Little one! Little one!]

Les voici qui viennent en trottinant devant leur mère.

[Here they come trotting off in front of their mother.]

Ils sont: un, deux, trois, quatre, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix.

[There are: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.]

Dix, ils y sont tous.

[Ten. They are all here.]

Tous bien alertes, bien gentils.

[All are very alert, that's nice.]

"Tenez, petits, mangez."

["Here little one, eat."]

Ils ont un mème duvet, un beau duvet jaune clair.

[They all have the same beautiful clear yellow fluffy feathers.]

Ce sont des frères et des soeurs; dix frères et soeurs du mème âge.

[They are brothers and sisters; ten brothers and sister with the same age.]

Quelle gentille petite famille!

[What a sweet little family!]

Voyez, comme ils se pressent, se poussent, se renversent, marchent les uns sur les autres.

[Look at them as they rush, push, roll over and walk over each other.]

"Mauvais frères! Pourquoi vous disputez? Il y a pour tous."

["Bad brothers! Why do you argue? There's enough for all."]

La mère les regardes, fait le tour de la bande, rappelle ceux qui s'ècartent.

[The mother watched, goes around the band, remembering those who stray.]

Oh! La bonne mère! Elle ne mange pas, elle.

[Oh! The good mother. She does not eat at all.]

Petits ègoïstes, laissez doc quelque chose pour votre mère!

[Little selfish, do leave something for your mother!]

Ils ne lui laissent rien!

[They left her with nothing!]

La poule s'èloigne en faisant entendre son gloussement.

[The hen moves away by making clucking sound.]

Les poussins la suivent.

[The chicks follow.]

Elle leur cherche de la nourriture.

[She is looking for food.]

Si elle n'en trouve pas, elle gratte la terre.

[If she cannot finds it, she will scratches the ground.]

D'es qu'elle a dècouvert queldue chose, elle appelle ses petits qui accourent aussitôt.

[Once she has discovered something, she will call her young ones who rush immediately.]

Par la pluie, par le froid, elle les rassemble sous ses ailes.

[When it rains and cold, she gathers them together under her wings.]

Quand elle aperçoit on oiseau de proie, elle expose sa vie pour les defendre.

[When she sees a prey, she exposes her life to defend them.]

Elle a beaucoup de courage, parce qu'elle a beaucoup d'amour.

[She has a lot of courage because she has lots of love.]

La fin.

[The end.]

Iftar dilemma!

SALAM RAMADHAN AL-MUBARRAK TO ALL OF YOU!

Mommy called this evening informing that tomorrow will be a family gathering for iftar at Kelantan Delights in Subang Jaya. The only issue is that I finish work around 5-6PM and iftar usually around 7.30PM.

"HOW ON EARTH CAN I GET THERE ON TIME?!"

Yesterday itself from office to get back to my house which is only 5 minutes away took me about 2 hours ++ and I nearly had my iftar in my car! Now my mind is racing trying to figure out the best way to get to that Subang place on time, well at least just in the nick of time for iftar. After laying out my plans carefully, I have ended up with option 1: to drive or option 2: take public transportation.

Option 1: Driving to work & go to Subang afterwards

Wake up in the morning {early morning} and get stuck in a jam for 30-40 minutes before reaching office. Then try to leave at 5PM and most probably get stuck again either right in front of my office towards Jalan Kuching or at Jalan Raja Chulan towards Pudu Station. Either way these are the only 2 ways I could think of to get myself to Subang Jaya.

Eihhs...probably estimation of being stuck in a massive traffic say about 2-3hours.

Option 2: Taking LRT to work & get to KL Sentral to board KTM train to Subang

Wake up in the morning {early morning} and queue for LRT in front of my house. Maybe about 20-30 minutes to reach office. Then same try to leave early maybe at 5PM and walk to the train station. Queue {darn! it's a very very long queue. did I mention it is winding like a snake even during the morning??} and squeeze into the LRT and get down at KL Sentral. Then rush to KTM side and queue {again, here even worse. these people don't know how to queue. I swear there was this one time I had to stand on one foot as people were squashing me from left, right, front and back!} to squeeze myself into the train. After numerous stations then only it will get to Subang Jaya. Then walk to that place.

Wooosaahhh!! Now can you lot help me out here a bit? How can I do this? I know I will feel bad if I let mommy down, if I don't go to that gathering. Sigh!!

Love,

Lilly Ishak
