b3 b0rn.. c0nf0rm, b3 si|3nt .. di3

i have! at the very last minute, as usual…

the joys of e-filing, of course… since the peeps at irb were so nice as to send me the PIN via my 2006 BE form.. knowing fully that i am amongst those who are so darned lazy to make that trip to ya friendly neighborhood irb counters… i am returning the favor by using the darned system

so at 10:12 pm on the absolutely final day for submitting your assessments (or so they claim.. history shows us that irb is always giving us second chances ;))

even amir - who somehow did not get his PIN printed with his BE form - called up irb careline @ 10:30 pm and managed to submit his in 5 minutes .. (it helps that i had my own tax calculation worksheet from previous years)

 you know that saying - no use crying over spilled (spilt?) milk?

well, there’s no saying more appropriate for what i felt

looking at the 4 oz or so of milk - just recently expressed - slowly seeping into the carpet covering the filing room that also doubled as a mini-prayer-room-cum-pumping room….

clumsy lil’ ol’ me!! warghhh~!!!@!*&!!

note to self: be a little bit more careful in the future

by the way, the image above is a photo of kakak, not anaqi…

this one is of anaqi

so like 1st may is not only the day lazybones such as meself get another day off… it’s also the date for the annual alumni gathering at the ol’ skool.

i remembered when i was a boarder there… esp. hated the dorm visits.. as they (the super duper seniors) would attempt to bounce a coin on the made-up beds.. which of course it wouldn’t.. not with the quality of mattresses that we got… we’d get an earful on how they used to be able to make beds in their days.. kekeke..

had initially planned to lug me two kids with .. all the way to seromban.. but then, amir’s on duty and i definitely wouldn’t be able to handle two kids.. plus got a family do to prepare for.. so this year .. (as with the previous years.. kehkeh) am giving it a miss.

tengok ler tawun depan.. to those yg pegi.. slamat membuli junior… kekeke.. jgn lupe bawak syilling bebanyak!!

not me… kakak laa…

it’s totally karma… that i gave birth to a daughter who loves exactly the things that i don’t..

the color pink is top on the list…

i go shopping for her clothes and pick some in colors other than pink.. she’d veto it and insist that she wants the designs in pink

i’d draw a flower for her - and she colors it in pink.

we purchase some artificial flowers to deco the house.. she wants pink roses n tulips

yesterday, we went to jusco to replace her old sandals… and she goes for the pooh sandal in various shades of pink!

die orh… i have pink overload. thank god barney is purple.. if not, i’d have to live with that too..!

so like mates have started this spreading disease called reminiscing.

it started with photos from the 90s..

then they started moving backwards… to the 80s… with nins giving us ‘child of the 80s’ list…

wegz tambah plak ngan match-the-theme-song pop quiz for cartoons from the 80s.

gonna try my luck.

1. “… more than meets the eye” - transformers!!!

2. “… they’re the worlds most fearsome fighting team” - TMNT

3. “… there’s something weird, and it don’t look good” - ghostbusters

4. “… feel the magic, hear the roar” - thunder thunder thundercats

5. “… he’s the greatest, he’s fantastic” - mighty mouse?

6. “… dance your cares away, worries for another day” - carebears

7. “… there’s a race to be on the top, the competition doesn’t stop” - jem and the holograms

8. “ … where will you wander? hither and yonder, letting your heart be your guide”

9. “… next time you’re feeling blue, just let a smile begin” - smurf

10. “… so much to see, waiting for you and me”

probable matching 80s cartoon:

denver the last dinosaur + fraggle rock + transformers + jem + inspector gadget + heathcliff + snorks + strawberry shortcake + ghostbusters + smurfs + care bears + gummi bears + mighty mouse + danger mouse + ducktales + my little pony and friends + spiderman + teenage mutant ninja turtles + thundercats
