a colleague’s mom just passed away this morning.
i only found out yesterday that his mom had cancer & that she’s now in critical condition.
he was still at the office - we advised him to just take a few days off especially since he is the eldest in the family.
so he left yesterday planning to take the week off and we sent with him prayers that her condition will improve.
al-fatihah~

5 people I am tagging (methinks no more ppl who blog left to tag):
so am not tagging - the vicious circle ends here!!!!
it’s proven - i have raised a mat salleh chelop!!
the past week or so - whenever kakak speaks in her sleep - it’s in english. i really should consider conversing more in malay with her - else, she’ll have a rough time dealing with national school!
i’ve only had two cars so far in my life (well, there’s the mini that papa loaned me back in 2001 but that doesn’t count)
both are from our national car maker
the first was a second-hand (actually 3rd or 4th hand, if i wanna be precise) wira - it served us well for the first 3 years we had it.
it did have one major issue which bugged me - the power window always act up at the least convenient times. the one burned into my memory was heading early to menara tan&tan for meeting with sap and being stuck in the parking floor for > 30 mins - just becoz the darned window won’t wind up after i stuck my hand out to get the parking ticket.
i was also in my final trimester of my pregnancy at that point - good thing kakak did not decide to pop out due to her mom’s stressing out.
so when we decided to switch cars - it was a blessing to get a brand new one. still with the national car maker - a waja. i’ve had reservations previously due to all the horror stories of doors falling off when the model was first launched. but we were also happy with the purchase.
until toosday noon. when i was with soohsia heading for a discussion outside of klcc. was leaving the season parking area when the driver’s window decided to get stuck 1/4 way winding up and making a LOUD annoying sound.
the friday last and on toosday mornin’ it got stuck for awhile too - but after a few attempts at winding up and down and tugging at the window piece - i managed to wind it up fully.
but toosday noon it just wouldn’t budge!!! called amir to decide whether or not to send it direct to a workshop or wait for him to do the deed. finally decided i need to go - postponed the discussion, dropped off soo hsia and ended up camping outside the workshop for 1 hr ++ while the mechanic replaced the motor for the power window mechanism - melayang $230 this month.. *sigh~*

check this out - the sony rolly SEP-10BT
was never wow-ed by ipod or any other mp3 players - guess this is due to me low tolerance of having me ears either stuffed with earphones or covered with headphones. so it’s always either the car radio, home hi-fi or the computer playing music for me.
but rolly is cute!
dunno when it’s gonna reach malaysian market - but it’s definitely been on malaysian shores.. as proven by this picture from newlaunches.com - it made in malaysia!
