Mad World
I got this very interesting email from a friend today.Besides herself updates,she also attached this rather bizarre news from Malaysia.What she said in her email was 'you better come home and help the stupid people that running the system'.Hehehe...if I don't know any better, I would have thought that she is asking me to replace Pak Lah and his konco-konco.Well, I don't even cut to be Pak Lah aide,apatah lagi nak stand in as a PM,hancur lebur kot Malaysia tu.As it is I ni dah ada orang tegur thinking too liberal.Nanti orang sumpah masuk neraka ke hapa,habislah diri I yang comel ni.So,Pak Lah can keep his job without having to see me as his possible threat.
The news attachment is as follows;

PULAU PINANG 23 Feb. – Seorang wanita yang terlalu tertekan dengan masalah kerja dan kewangan hingga
Majistret Ainul Shaharin Mohamed memerintahkan hukuman terhadap Lee Saw Fong, 32, seorang ejen menjual kereta berkuat kuasa mulai tarikh dia ditangkap pada 21 Januari lalu.
Dia yang memakai blaus hitam dan berseluar jean biru kelihatan gelisah sambil menundukkan kepalanya ketika hukuman dibacakan kepadanya kira-kira pukul 11.30 pagi.
Mengikut pertuduhan, Saw Fong didakwa
Pintu dan tingkap kereta itu tertutup manakala hujung paip getah pula dihalakan ke muka wanita itu.
Dia didakwa melakukan kesalahan itu kira-kira pukul 8 malam, 20 Januari lalu di dalam kereta jenis Proton Saga di sebuah jalan mati di Jalan Puncak Bukit Mutiara, Tanjong Bungah di sini.
Pertuduhan itu dikemukakan oleh pegawai pendakwa, Asisten Supritendan Jafri Md. Zain mengikut Seksyen 309 Kanun Keseksaan. Seksyen itu memperuntukkan hukuman penjara setahun atau denda atau kedua-duanya jika sabit kesalahan.
Terdahulu, ketika mengemukakan rayuan, Saw Fong memohon hukumannya diringankan.
I was asked to involved in a community work this week and dek kerana active nya ber 'community', making plenty community presence, maka my presence in my own blog tersangatlah terhadnya.Many of you must have read the recent gun fashion among the budak-budak especially kat South London.Lately ni banyaklah pulak yang dah mati ditembak.Semuanya budak-budak.I know for fact that mereka-mereka ni (yang mati kena tembak ni) bukanlah budak-budak pujaan Malaya gitu.Ni semuanya set-set setan yang terlepas kandang yang baru belajar mencarut and trading drugs.What they do is to smoke dope during the day and buat overtime merompak orang-orang balik kerja malam-malam.So,bila sekor-sekor keluar newspaper mati kena tembak,agaknya ramai betul manusia kat South London tu buat 'Thank You' party.So dek kerana this latest crisis, the board seems to think that there must be a huge psychological issues among this teenager that is making them vulnerable and as such, subjected them terjebak in the gangland culture tembak menembak dadah mendadah ni. Again, I ni dipaksa rela pergi bercakap dengan bebudak gangster ni.Haiyooo...takutnya,tuhan sajalah yang tahu. The experts seems to think that budak-budak muda ni in much need of a psychological help in correcting their cognitive ability to think positive. Memang betul. As I work in a unit full of adult with challenging behaviour, it is not hard to see that all their challenging front is nothing more than a protective clothes. Samalah kes nya dengan budak-budak gangster ni.
My point is, the authority is sensitive enough to detect the problem within the community and bersusah payah nak tolong eventhough kenkadang tu sampai nak tergadai nyawa nak tolong orang sangat.People here are so lucky.The help is everywhere.My thought are with that poor woman in that news.I can only suspect dia ni kaki judi and that could contributes to her financial worries and work related stress.Coming out owning up a dreadful mistakes is an embarassment to most people.She may feel that the world is closing in to her and the only way out is to forfeit her life.She tried,did not succeed and now, send to jail for punishment of her inability to cope with stress.How is that going to help?
Where is the goverment input? Here, we have the debt recovery helpline and this are the organisation that helps people putting their life back on track.Why must we punish orang yang patah hati? By mematahkan lagi hati nya kah?
While the government is so desperate to menyibuk hal orang lain to gain wider international publicity (menolong the Palestinian yang sama jahatnya dengan regime Zionis kat Israel tu) bukan ke lebih bagus channelkan all their intelligence untuk tolong orang yang mengundi mereka tu?

Fib Factor
But there is a few things that we can easily get a freeview as some program is a wajib tengok for my mother and her maid.That is that Tayangan Gambar every Friday,Kesuma (tak tengok pun tak pe ni),Bimbingan Agama (hmmmm) and that black and white Drama Minggu Ini every Sundays.Those days, the quality of the programs made by RTM are far better than now,speaking of 7,8 years back since I last watch Malaysian TV.I remember on the verge of leaving, there was this very dodgy program on television called 'Spectra' and some really not even worth to broadcast Cerekarama.You see the same person all the time,expressionless and motionless and most of all, talentless.He or she sure is good looking by some local Datuk's and Sugar Mummy standard but which drama school they all came from,tak tahulah.Their character switches weekly.If they need to become a corporate person, they will speak English even when not needed to and you can see that the whole chicken cackle in foreign language mode is not necessary,when they become orang kampung,they become the most poshest orang kampung who speaks polite text book bahasa, like 'Abang tidak faham kenapa Tijah bertindak begitu...'.Aren't things supposed to be more simple like 'Kenapa kau buat camtu, hah?!!!'.That whole scene can makan up to 1/2 hour airtime and we were all forced to see some ingenuine camaraderie.
I used to choose what to watch or else I would rather watch things like Miss Congeniality berkali-kali.I'm not sure about now but I know when I went home recently,some Malay soap got worse where some suppose-to-be a kaya raya family pakai tuxedo in their own home just to makan dinner bersama.Since when kita pakai Tuxedo dalam rumah? Or is this a new thing that I don't know of?
Speaking of the old Drama Minggu Ini or the olden Malay movies,apart from some really brilliant screenplay,they also have good actors that can cry without eye mo.The story can be so damn good that my mother and her maid pun boleh ikut-ikutan menangis gitu.Especially when they are watching that film about some anak tiri dihambat oleh Mak Tiri and so forth.Haiyoo...waterbag sungguh.
Yesterday, when I finally kemas my bilik (to make way for my new bed nak menyambut Mak Bellabunny datang ni) I also send some of my old stuff to bin.I have this old music in my desktop and some of it was played to me when I was very little and during the Drama Minggu Ini time.Maka, teringatlah kisah lama gitu. I was also talking to one of my friend (who came by and tolong I kemas bilik before we shoot off to Emirates) and we joke about some scenes in drama zaman dedolu yang sometimes tak masuk akal, however brilliant the storyline is. The tak masuk akal or shall I put it 'so kelakar' is the scenes like ;
a) The Terlanjur Factor
You often see that 2 merpati sejoli keluar berdating naik Honda or Vespa bermain tutup-tutup mata kat Taman Bunga,minum pun share satu straw and other nak muntah activity bersama.Okay, that is the day time.When the night is gone and sampai scene pagi, tiba-tiba si merpati dua sejoli ni unsuspectingly ended up atas katil bujang si merpati jantan ni.The female merpati will be seen berkemban dengan kain cadar and menangis teresak-esak and it is so obvious of what had happened the night before. While the female merpati tadi menangis sambil badannya dicover oleh cadar,the male merpati looking not so good himself will then pujuk her from belakang dengan kata-kata 'Jangan risau Milah, Abang Majid akan bertanggungjawab'.The question is, why Milah is crying teresak-esak? Guilty pleasure kah? Nak kata abang Majid rogol dia, tak lah kan? Milah pun mahu jugak lah ni.Another question, how is Milah so confident yang dia akan termengandung just after one shot? But, suddenly after, nak nangis-nangis pulak.Masa tu tu tak nangis ke? Or Milah just menjerit teresak-esak? But the old drama is always like that.Main dulu, nangis kemudian.And for Abang Majid yang kononnya bertanggungjawab tu, podah lah..by the time he put on his crocodile underwear,his 'tanggungjawab' will soon be out of the window.Siaplah kau Milah oiii...
b) You Have To Eat Asam and Mangga
When you're mengandung.Supposedly case terlanjur like Milah.Stupidly,even if Milah and her beau is trying hard to conceal her predicament,Milah is happily showing off the fact yang secara tiba-tiba dia suka makan asam and mangga muda and in between that, muntah kayap dengan teruknya didepan kawan-kawan nya yang lain, and dalam ramai-ramai kawan tu, adalah sorang yang suspect something fishy and startlah bergossip. Kenapa Milah tak makan asam tu dalam jamban aje Milah oii?
c) Kisah Cinta Terlarang Yang Common
If it is not adik beradik terpisah, after many donkey years tak jumpa and then tup tup ter bercinta and finally get told that 'dia abang kandung kau or dia adik kandung kau', other love story yang selalu tunjuk in DMI is bila si Jejaka bercinta dengan anak musuh ketat bapaknya or vice versa or suddenly anak majikan sudah syok dengan orang gaji yang bertubuh mungil (apa ni Montymelly?) and mulalah his Mak Datin mother dengan bongkaknya cakap, oh..dia tak setaraf dengan keluarga kita...tu belum masuk yang anak Pak Haji Dollah bercinta dengan Wong Mei Mei lagi tu...
d) Lupa Daratan Yang Tak Perlu
There is always this anak nelayan or pesawah yang eligible to study oversea until the father have to flog their bendang to support the anak.Tup Tup, the anak balik with awek yang kaya and he become suddenly malu of his 'origin'.He will only come to his senses when his parents is bedridden and started panggil nama anak yang lupa daratan ini sambil batuk-batuk yang keluar darah.To make thing more unbearable, the anak orang kaya who is the anak lupa daratan other half, always turned up to be the nicest one who 'saya tak kisah kalau abang anak orang susah...'.Very cartoon kan?
e) Prodigy Child
We see the anak orang kaya in the DMI always ended up in the criminal activity mainly hisap dadah.The producers are very good at portraying the ever so busy parents, successful businessman yang kerja sampai tak ingat rumah and the wife who are ever so busy berpersatuan itu ini.But,successful businessman kan ada assistant? Tak kan sampai tak balik rumah kot...and Datin persatuan tak kan sampai tengah malam? For whatever reasons, the anak (mak bapak busy sangat sampai anak pun seorang aje, you) become withdrawn, become attached to the orang gaji or mulalah jadik jahat.Haiyoo...I really hate the dialogues yang sungguh too good to be true like 'Bapak aku bagi aku duit, tapi aku takmau semua tu, aku perlukan kasih sayang uhuk..uhuk..uhuk..'.Well, here's my story.Both of my parents work, they hardly at home.Well, they are but not full time.Most notorious growing up child like me akan keluh kesah kalau mak bapak selalu sangat kat rumah...ye lah...habislah program nak main zero point dengan orang sebelah rumah kan? And yess, we need the money, not to buy drugs like that stupid lonely child, but to buy more Kum Kum, Ding Dang or all the keropoks that we simply can't afford.
f) Janda No-No
In the olden days, god forbid you jadik janda.The moment you were awarded that title,the whole entire bini orang kat kampung will put you in alert spot.They will all fear that their laki, walaupun ada yang berwajah hensem sikit dari buah keladi akan disambar oleh janda nan satu ini.Even anak bujang cannot choose you as a possible life partner as maknya akan melarang habis-habisan.The producer is ever so clever to pick the janda character yang muka ala-ala Kate Moss and Angelina Jolie.Siapa yang tak nak? You can never see janda yang muka macam Roseanne Barr or Jackie Stallone. What if you become duda? Tak ada pulak jantan-jantan kampung tu yang bontot panas takut wife diorang menggoda duda yang seekor ni.
g) 30 Minutes Dying Speech
You can get shot or stab violently by some criminal but you can still muster long sentences to your loved one, and for what worse, the paramedic, knowing how critical your condition are, still bagi chance lagi teruna dara ni bercakap-cakap dengan darah membuak-buak keluar dari wound si polan yang cedera parah ni.Mana perginya health and safety awareness mereka-mereka ni?
What else ye? Well, Gong Xi Fa Cai....

Not So Young,Apparently And Tingle?
This man (god knows where he is now) was hoping that he can strike lucky that night,armed with a new aftershave and a Versace thong, that cost him arm and leg (dia punya gigih..biar arm and leg hilang..jangan my Cik Din...katanya) Surprisingly,I do not need to ask what he meant by his 'Cik Din' because it soon become abvious that Cik Din itu adalah Tengku Mahkota nya yang terletak di cerun-cerun curam badannnya yang berkepal-kepal itu. The outing and the mission of our outing that night for him was a total for 'membalas dendam' sake.This man baru dua hari dikayutigakan oleh Pakwe nya yang also our leading FA.Kebetulan, the same ex boyfriend kerja sama flight pulak dengan dia dan I,and so Pakcik ni berhasrat benar yang menunjukkan kepada dunia yang dia ni pun 'ada barang'.Ni bahasa zaman 90'an la ni...I really hope you all know what it mean since I malas betul nak explain apa maknanya 'ada barang' ni.
Part of the reason yang I sanggup ikut dia keluar menyundal malam itu ialah first,I takde kawan and second,Pakcik ni terkenal dek glamournya so,tanpa segan silu I pun nak jugak merasa dan menumpang glamournya, of which work out well for both of us that night as I dengan Pakcik ni tak keluar duit sesen haram pun untuk membiayai projek poya-poya an kami malam tu.This Pakcik got chatted up all the way and all the night through.

Kagum Tak?
By the way, dia ni cousin Nigella Lawson (voleyyy?) and Nigella and family adalah setahun 3,4 kali datang makan dinner rumahnya.Tapi, I tak pernah lah jumpa Nigella Lawson tu, pasalnya,siapalah diriku ini and people like Nigella manalah nak visit sedara mara on weekdays? So, kesimpulannya, family Yahudi ni amatlah kayo dan fridge nya dipenuhi dengan barang makan Mark & Spencer.
I actually nak cerita pasal si husband Doctor ni, Yahudian jugaklah...yelah...orang Yahudi kan selalunya kahwin sebangsa mereka jugak.By profession,Pakcik ini adalah seorang solicitor yang kerjanya hanya uruskan contract-contract aje.They both have 3 sons and one of their son is affected by Tuberous Scelerosis and because of that is having a behavioural problem and severe learning difficulties.Kesian.
Their live in au pair is currently balik negeri pulak for 2 weeks and si Doctor ni kemaruklah nak menguruskan anak-anaknya tu.She texted me yesterday asking if I can help, siapkan budak bertiga tu, 2 orang pergi sekolah and yang si baby berak busuk tu pergi Nursery.I pun okaylah.As si Doctor ni ada morning surgery and need to leave her house early, maka dia pun confidentlah yang laki nya tu could give me a hand.Ye lah..manakan bisa I nak manage satu baby and satu 'challenging' baby.Kesudahannya,until yang 'abang' nya dicollect oleh transport untuk kesekolah nya, dengan keadaan I yang masih terkontang-kanting dengan baby yang sedang mengganas, Bapaknya itu yang sepatutnya menolong I masih lagi tidur. Sakit betul hati I.Nasib baik bukan laki aku kan? Harus aku siram air kopi kalau pemalas begitu sekali.
As I really need to get to work and si Daddy baby berak busuk ni masih belum lagi nampak batang hidung Yahudi dia yang besar tu, I decided to walk the baby to the Nursery myself.So,I pun pasanglah that baby harness and dengan seorang dirinya,terpaksalah I manouvre kan baby tu masuk dalam harness tu.Bila semua dah secure, berlenggang kangkung lah I jalan kaki.Bila dah ada baby ni,speed kenalah appropriate gitu, takut tercicir anak orang tu.Si baby berak busuk ni bukannya normal baby okay? Nak membuat dia aje cost the parents £3800 per egg scan.After 3 scan baru dia menjadi.
Si doctor ni tadi puaslah telephone mintak mahap dengan I atas attitude ke 'kerbau balau' an laki dia tu.I pon cakap I tak kisah but I heran jugak lah...sebabnya I jarang jumpa laki orang putih yang jarang nak tolong bini. Doctor ni pun mintak tolong lagi in the evening to ambik si berak busuk tu from the Nursery and siapkan supper budak-budak tu.Again, Doctor ni cakap dengan I yang dia dah bagi directive kat laki dia yang this time dia misti tolong I.Adakah dia menolong? Hampas....dia buat crossword puzzle sambil agah anak-anak dia adalah.
Dengan geramnya, I hambat budak jantan ber3 tu masuk dalam bath tub.Dalam hati I,kalaulah my mother or my sister tahu apa yang I buat hari ni, misti diorang kelakar gila pasalnya I kalau balik kampung,tolong bagi makan budak pun malas, apatah lagi nak bagi mandi.Setelah ku bagi makan Chicken Dippers and Mash Potato,dengan satu tangan dukung baby,satu lagi menarik yang sorang tu naik atas bathroom.Kagum tak? Yang eldest tu dah 9 years, so dia ni kira independent sikit.Dialah yang tolong tengok-tengok kan adik-adik dia bila I berhempas pulas cari diapers.Bila dah habis ku basuh budak-budak tu, mulalah I kena dress them up ikut turn.Mula-mula I ambik the baby berak busuk and start pakaikan dia baju.Si berak busuk ni, haiyooo..bukannya pakai baju selapis, ada pulak kena pakai baby vest yang sungguh seksa nak masukkan tangan dia yang halus tu...and pastu ada pyjamas pulak yang berbutang-butang serata alam tu.Tu belum masuk kena pakai diapers dia dengan kena apply lotion motion lagi....Half way through menyiapkan dia..si abang panggil I kata adiknya (yg ada learning difficulties tu) main percik-percik air.Hah!!! Terpaksalah I sambung hangkat si berak busuk tu masuk dalam bathroom and at the same time, lap lap lantai.Haiyoooo...terpaksa I sambung habiskan pen dressing an baby berak busuk tu atas toilet seat.Ibu Mithali sungguh.
Tiba-tiba I dengar doorbell and haaaa...maknya dah balik.Terperanjat mak dia tengok I jadi superwoman and dia terus ambik baby berak busuk tu and dengan marahnya tanya dengan I, mana lakinya and dia nak leter kan lakinya itu.From the bathroom, sayup-sayup I dengar laki bini tu bergaduh.But the laki I tell you, boleh jawab lagi macam petir kata kat bini dia yang dia busy.Busy hapa?
I hate to think that this is a typical Jewish man yang sepesen dengan my father yang tak nak langsung menolong my mother.I ingat my father aje yang macam tu...did I tell you yang dalam my mother sibuk menyiapkan anak-anak, si bapak I tu, sedap je order coffee...dia ingat my mother tu Mamak ke dia boleh mintak-mintak kopi tanpa belas kasihan gitu?
Tapi...biarlah.Moral dari kejadian hari ni tadi ialah I sangat kagum dengan kepandaian I menguruskan anak-anak dengan keadaan laki yang pemalas tu.So...I am now waiting for you to sing me a praise in my comment box.Chewwwaaahhhh...

They Came And Gone...
So, when I heard the news about the snow yesterday,even though I tak tahu betul ke tidak snow akan turun, I dah start buat plan tak nak pergi office.The night before, I called them and buat arrangement that I will be working from home.Ye lah tu.This morning bila my alarm goes off,as my bed was next to the window,the moment I opened my eyes,I can see the snow streaming down from the sky.I was telling myself,alah..sat lagi bila dah terang...berhentilah tu.In the end, the snow terus turun tanpa henti until about 1pm.I was having the most difficult time walking to the nearest Mental Health Unit tadi..(ooppss..ada pulak panggilan emergency,and I kena dash off sekejap) As I am so used to pakai trainers,the boot that is suitable for snowy condition yang berat nya mengalahkan 3 bijik batu tela tu sungguhlah menyakitkan hati.I have no choice but to wear that boot sebabnya,kalau pakai trainers kang, haruslah bergolekan jatuh atas salji tu (by the way uolsss...not a nice sight okay...) Salji ni, nampak je putih suci gitu...tapi kalau dah berjuta orang berjalan atasnya,pastu bila dia start melting,maka akan berupa celaka lah ia.Habis kotor jeans I.Pulak tu...rimaslah pakai seluar yang basah-basah kat area kaki tu...hish..tak kuasa.
But,before Mak badak gi kerja tadi,sempatlah kami buat plan nak ambik gambar.Bukannya apa uolss...dah bertahun duduk sini,takde satu pun gambar main salji.So we thought,manalah tahu satu hari nanti nak balik KL for good, ada jugak satu gambar bermain salji gitu.Buat syarat lah konon-konon nya...plus,bolehlah menjadi eksyen factor for those who tak pernah tengok snow.But by the time dia balik kerja and I habis kerja,the snow began to turn into this dirty leak from the sky.Heran jugak....apsal cepat benar cair? Is it got to do with the fact yang kami ni berada di West London yang agak panas sikit dari borough-borough London yang lain? Bila I sampai rumah,yang tinggal atas jalan is the salt thingy yang ditabur oleh lori Majlis Perbandaran Richmond ni...well, they used salt to prevent major slippery.So,apa makna ambil gambar main garam? Buang masa kan?
But according to the MET office,the snow will come again tomorrow.Tah ye tah tidak.I don't know why I never appreciate the snow.Dua 3 menjak ni.Maybe pasal banyak leceh dari fun.I think if we all duduk area kampung-kampung tu lain lah kot,pasal snow-snow kat kampung-kampung tu well preserved gitu.Pastu, cantik aje mata memandang.But bila dah kat London ni,yang dah kelam kabut dek sesak nya,mata dah tak cantik memandang lagi dah...in fact, mata akan pedih dek ditikam dek snow-snow yang turun dari atas langit tu.That is what happening to me now.My head sakit dek sejuk yang terlampau...and my eye balls hurts so much.All for what? The half a day show case? Sungguh buang masa.
