Brown

February 25, 2010 in Family by Zain | 2 comments

It actually did taste good. But I wouldn't say it now would I.

Me and my siblings often imagine what our cat would say to things around the house. The muff, spends half his time in a three tier cage where his litter sits at the bottom.

Last weekend my sister made some brownies and I was left with little option but to oblige and make a few remarks. After I snapped the picture above, I said, that it looks good in a picture.

But of course my obligations, not to mention standards and expectations, extended beyond to at least something creatively challenging. So I went,

Hey, imagine what Toffee would say if he saw the brownies.
“You know I spend quite sometime in my litter box, and I must say, those brownies look familiar.”

This Is It

I had two tickets to the premiere of the MJ movie and went with my mother. The whole movie, was generally footage from his preparation and rehearsals for the tour that never happened. At one point, not a full dress rehearsal (but then with Michael you can’t always tell), he asks the ‘audience’ to clap.

In the cinema, my mother started clapping.

Chai Chee Sheep

September 26, 2009 in Family by Zain | No comments

He is known to himself as Aduya. And to me in this context, though not understood by him (evidently from the song below), as The Small Boy Who Lives in Chai Chee.

On the horizon, is the port. I explained to him about boats, ships and vessels. The three year old, listened intensely, but understood poorly. Much so that we ended up singing, Baa Baa Black Sheep. I took the lead, mocking his dialect. Eventually he too, like me, decided to add in his own lyric. With charm, messing up the flow of the song.

Baa Baa Yack Sheep haf you any wools,
Yes sir, yes sir, twee bags fooo,
One for my master,
One for Ami Zain,
(and one for Aduyaaa)
…and one for the small boy who lives in Chai Chee.

Above is my cousin at her sisters wedding, who live overseas. Below, is the best Hari Raya message I received this year, and it came from her.

Eid Mubarak Jeng, Minal Aidin Wal Fa’izin =) Please forgive me if I wronged you in any way… It’s sucky that we don’t get to spend much time together nowadays, but I’m etremely proud of everything you’ve achieved and I’m sure this is just the beginning. Love you many many.

*The above was written about 24 hours ago, discreetly and saved as Drafts, unknowingly to her despite sitting next to me. :) Two hours ago, I received another text as she boarded her flight. :I

I am now in Singapore and I just got some marriage advice from my grandmother. She told me two things. Between each, a twenty minute interval.

Get married around 28, 29 years old.
Get married around 31, 32 years old.
