It's Monday Folks... so Be Happy... Yippeeee!!!

As usual, been very busy the last couple of days (if not a week!!).. thus a lack of ramblings of mine…

During that time until the weekend and today, a lot of things happened..

Angry : It’s been almost 5 days that we have water problems in my house. They said it’s only for 2-days, but now it’s already more than that!! Last Tuesday we were forced to ‘evacuate’ ourselves to my mom’s house. Lucky it’s not that far away. I cannot seem to be able to carry out my normal daily life if there’s no water, especially to have a proper bath and washing. I remember during school days (hostel life), we use to have regular water problems. It was troublesome, but it was good also as I have learned (and perfected) the skill of bathing with minimal water. Yea, I can bath with half of a medium sized pail. Though, some friends can sleep during the night without taking a bath!!!

Mad and furious : my maid of two days. We have every reason to believe that she has done something to JJ (it was later confirmed by my mother last Sunday. But she did not see it according to her but JJ cried loudly at one time he was with the maid and she suspected something amiss). We noticed that there’s a small wound just below his nose. We actually left JJ and the maid at my mom’s house (after our evacuation due to water problem) and were thinking of staying there until the weekend since my mom is alone also. Furthermore, on Wednesday’s afternoon, she asked if she can go home to take care of her mom who is sick. It turns out that she is lying after my dear wifey called her so-called ‘mum’. But, she was very adamant and wants to go home. So we sent her back. We only noticed the wound on Thursday morning when I was bathing JJ and get him ready for ‘school’. We are supposed to pick her up on Saturday afternoon (at her request), but we never did…

Happy and relieved : The English Premier League officially commence with it’s first games of the season. Liverpool managed to edge past Sunderland, thanks to a beautidul strike by none other than, possibly the best striker in the world currently, Fernando Torres. Although it was onlt the first game of the season, in my opinion, Liverpool’s play was a bit ‘depressing’ to me. Their passing and game play, I would say, is quite poor of their standard. Though Fernando Torres is quite anonymous the whole game through, he took his only chance at the 83^rd minute with a superb shot into the back of the net. Despite my worries, a win is a win and 3 points is in the bag. C’mon you Reds!!!!

Sad : Malaysia’s only Gold medal prospect – Lee Chong Wei – lost to Lin Dan. I, and perhaps all Malaysians, was hoping Lee Chong Wei gives his best shot at the gold medal. But it didn’t materialized as Lin Dan was in his elements and won in straight set. He outplayed Chong Wei and IMO, Chong Wei loose his focus. He kept on doing unforced errors. Lin Dan was good also in his psychology games e.g. changing the shuttle cock on each serves. The partisan Chinese crowd also, I believe, was also a factor. BUT, well done to Chong Wei as he becomes our nations first medalist, perhaps the only one in Beijing 2008.

Shocked and later bemused : Today, heard from a colleague of mine that there is a ‘bomb scare’ at Centre Point. Apparently her husband is working there. Don’t really know the overall story. Must have been a hoax though as I haven’t heard any explosion yet (my office is a good distance away from Centrepoint). Or that it is just a ‘bomb drill’, similar to ‘fire drill’ perhaps. But what amused me is that when I peeked through the window, during the purported ‘bomb scare’ and that the main doors of the complex are locked, some people are waiting outside the ‘entrance’ (if my sight doesn’t fail me). I told my friend “gilakah tunggu di luar pintu.. macamana kalau betul-betul meletup?”. Nah, we just wait for the news tomorrow – must be a hoax of that my friend’s husband misinformed?...

Have a great day to day to you all, thank God it’s Monday!!! Yippeeee….
