Something to PonDer about..
Early one sunny evening somewhere in KL, as the local gliterati wander into exclusive watering holes before appearing at the club or the show, a toothless bag lady, face folded in wringkles, scrounges through a wire garbage can. Finding leftovers from McDonald's, she leans over the can and eats, her sunken lips quivering around a chicken bone. Amid mountains of glass and steel apulence, the sight of this old woman eating fowl out of the garbage wrestles me to a stop.
"u memang nak makan kat sini?" i asked. She nods, sensing a sucker. i stare, astonished. Then, in a gesture of defiance against a system that allows an elderly woman to eat like a dog, in a gesture of pity for a degraded old lady, but mostly in a gesture of desperation, i pull out of my purse, hand her RM10 , and step back.
"u pegi dan makan," i plead. "you tak yah makan kat tong sampah lagi yek". she nods again, smiles toothlessly, and then disappears amid the neon lights.

Panas SUNGGUH!
i was suppose to help Dad with the grass cutting(or should i say Grass trimming? correct me if i'm wrong) early this morning...too bad..i woke up late and gave him the adoreable smile from my window...hihihihi :) ....i remembered using the *slasher* in Gontoi once upon a time ago... it was enjoyable.... i just love GRASS CUTTING..heeeee...
Last week, some church member came to get their lorry fixed and i didn't had the choice, since my brother-in-law was busy with somethingelse, so i have to be the 'second hand' for Dad....dengan excitednya(excited la mangkali) i got my hands and feet ready for oil dipping...one thing for sure, is that i always get confuse with the spanner and screw driver..hohoho..u see, dad owns a tool box which contain alot of different types of metals(screw driver,spanner, bolts, camshaft and etc)...and i'm always confuse when delivering him the thing he wanted..hohoho....its fun though(sometimes)...at times, i feel so irritated because i have to do all the lifting of engines and stuffs like that....how'd i wish i had the strenght of Samson sometimes..!!..poor my little hands...well, as the saying goes, "what goes around, comes around..."
