"Jingle Raya" dedicated to my dear friends...

To Lab Papa, his dear Wifey and Lab Papa Jr – when you come back here in Sabah.. be sure to invite me for Raya aaa.. lama sudah nda makan ‘yellow river’ (tapi kali ni kena buat banyak sikit, sebab mulut dah bertambah, and errr, Lab Papa wifey sudah belajar masak yellow river kah? Hehehehe)… hahaha. Anyway, my warm wish for you and family there during this beautiful celebration…

Rin-chan – I hope you have a wonderful Raya with friends and family… our Chilwu will end tonight… any other good Korean drama to recommend? Hehehe… be sure to link those chilwu songs I’ve requested though when you comes back after raya… hahaha..

Aza – have a great Raya in the States, I am sure you also will have a wonderful celebration there, isn’t.. btw, how long have you been celebrating Raya there?

MJ Diaries aka Black Kid aka Mata – was delighted we’ve meet again in this virtual space after so long a time. And now you’re a mama to great kids and wife to your dear husband… say, a very happy raya to you and your family there. Nanti sia pi sana, kita lawan main bowling kah kah kah… Have a safe journey to your hubby kampung and back to KL...

Rizwan Hawk and Linachu – my warm wish to both of you and family on this great occasion..

And also to all my muslim friends visiting my ‘ramblings’ of whom I may not know, wishing you all a very happy Hari Raya Aidilfitri…. Maaf Zahir Batin

Here is a song I have composed (in less than 5 minutes) to the tune of 'Jingle Bells', especially dedicated to you my dear friends. Hope you like it and have a good fun singing it… (FYI - 'Jingle Bells' and 'White Christmas' (the one I've posted in Lab Papa's Journal) are commercial songs, so I don't think it will create any fuss. Besides it's just for fun and dedicated to my friend only... :). anyone in doubt, just google for the lyrics and read it..)...well, hey!! it's Raya lah bosss... :)

 

Jingle Raya

(To the tune of ‘Jingle Bells’)

(Words by Hombidai Boibud)

Cho 1:

Hari raya, hari raya sudah lah tiba

Mari kita ramai-ramai sambut Aidifitri.. yeah!!

Duit raya, duit raya budak-budak suka

Tapi kalau sudah besar tak boleh minta lagi…

 

Verse:

Bila Syawal tiba

Semua orang gembira

Sebab Raya Aidilfitri

Sudah lah tiba

 

Kunjung-mengunjungi

Antara sesama

Adat kebiasaan kita

Rakyat Malaysia.. yeah!!

 

Cho 2:

Hari raya, hari raya sudah lah tiba

Mari kita ramai-ramai sambut Aidifitri.. yeah!!

Mari kita bergembira serta bermaafan

Kalau ada silap dan salah maaf zahir batin… yeah!!

The Reds won the mother of all derbies...

Yesireee!!!!

Liverpool won against the Blue-side of Merseyside, Everton hands down. Two well taken and superb goals by none other than Liverpool's Number 9 - Fernando Torres...

Overall, this was a great passing game of Liverpool and controlled the game, though Everton does create some goal-scoring opportunities for themselves.

Another thing to note is that a great derby does not become a great derby without a red card. So off you go Tim Cahill...

What a great feeling last Saturday, though the 7.45pm kick-off did spoiled my dinner but a big fan like me will never miss a big game like this.

For the record, last season 2007-2008, I've never missed any Liverpool live games on TV. I will try to keep this record intact this year and hope Liverpool's title ambition will materialise sooner than later and lift No.19!!

Walk on all you Reds out there...

Anpan-Man Pt 2 : Spread the good news...

Ever since I saw Anpan-Man pictures at Lab Papa's Journal, I have been fascinated with this character. Perhap's nobody paid much attention to this 'hero' in Lab Papa's posting but I'm glad I did. (most commented about the guy with less underpants... hahahaha).

In short, here's what Lab Papa info about Anpan-man :

"Anpan-man ni sebenarnya kuih kacang hitam. So kalau dia lawan dia punya musuh, baikin-man (bacteria-man), mula2 mesti kepala dia jadi buruk mcm kuih basi. Kemudian datang lah tukang buat dia, jyamu-ojisan (Uncle Jam), bawa kepala baru dan ganti. Baru la si anpan-man kuat.
So serita anpan-man ni semua berkisar dengan roti2 dan kuih2. Kawan2 dia termasuk Shokupan-man (bread-man) dan melonpanma-chan (kuih melon)."

So I did a little bit of research aka 'googling' around as advised by my good friend, Lab Papa... to my surprise, Anpan-Man is everywhere...

Anpanman on Wikipedia - read all about this character from A to Z

Anpan-man is a very nice guy and self-less - "When Anpanman comes across a starving creature or person, he lets the unfortunate creature or person eat part of his head" - excerpt from Wiki. A fascinating fact indeed my friend.. no superhero do that!!

A clip on Anpan-man from Youtube - though some of them have been taken out due to copyrights..

Anpan-Man is 'HOT' (because he is a 'kuih') and 'SADAP' (tasty) (Sadap - according to Poppet). I've suggested to Poppet to take Anpan-man as mascot to Poppet's blog, since it's all about food and of course - kuih'.

Whenever you are in distress or hungry, wherever you are, don't call Superman or Batman or whatever, they can't hear you. Just call Anpan-man as "He also has super hearing in that he can respond to anyone that calls his name out in distress from anywhere in the world" (excerpt from Wiki again..). He may let you eat his head if you are hungry!!!

OOOhhhh.. now I am getting more fascinated with this guy.

All thanks to Lab Papa for introducing this kind-hearted superhero. Well, have you ever seen a superhero let his head to be eaten?...

Wondering when will Anpan-man be aired on our local satellite tv... hmmm...

It's written by a Japanese writer of children story, so it's suitable for our children also. This is what Poppet has to say about Anpan-man "..disamping belajar moral drg tau juga bahasa jipun.. at least drg tau jenis-jenis kuih la hehehe"

So, let's spread the good news about Anpan-man. (I am drafting a letter to write to our local satellite tv to get this aired... hehehe)

Anpan-Man.. we need you...

Okay.. it's Monday so anything can happen. Here goes...

Last Sunday, while my son is running around the house, trying his best to 'kacau' whatever he can get his hands on, I was actually bored and nothing to do. So I turned on the tv and hey, it's Ultraman Tiga (ウルトラマンティガ). Well, Ultraman used to be my favourite show on tv, and perhaps, I still have 'it' in me because I actually turned my attention to watch it..

In short, Ultraman 3 turned into a lifeless stone statue as he can't beat the humongous 'siput babi' who lives in the sea... so, that's where the episode ends..

Hence the title of this ramblings... I hope, or rather the entire human race, hope that Anpan-Man will come and rescue the Earth as Tiga has been defeated...  I don't know how to find him, but he is last seen on Uchino Matsuri, leading the 'ondo' dance.. perhaps Lab Papa can help us..

 

Yeah.. that's Anpan-man for you (Thanks to Lab Papa for introducing us to this new Hero....)

I hope you have a good laugh this Monday, my friends... hahahaha

IMO, We don't need "IT" too in Sabah...

Read

Just writing my own personal opinion... nothing else... but myself too, in my very honest opinion, that we do not need it, well, in Sabah.

As reported in the linked news.. Sabah too doesn't have racial problems, IMO.

When I was in UM, my senior who is a student leader in PERMASA - Persatuan Mahasiswa Sabah once told me that he was once asked by one of the Univerity officers who is in-charged of students's relations - why we, Sabahan students, can mix together in our PERMASA although we are multi-racial and religions. The senior told me his answer... "Orang Sabah memang macam tu.."

Just my own personal opinion bah...

(I have edited my title a bit as it have mislead two of my friend here.. hehehe.. un-intentionally bah.. ~ teringat pula lagu "I.T."..)
