My MEME

My friend asked me to do a meme on my blog. I kinda get what meme is in general, but exactly what, is beyond me. So, quickly off to google site, and apparently, it is a scientific term first used by Richard Dawkins, a British biologist and author in his book titled "The Selfish Gene" (sorry, to lazy to cut & paste the definition).

However, in the context of blogging as per weblog's definition, meme is an idea, project, statement or even a question that is posted by one blog and responded to by other blogs. Although the term encompasses much of the natural flow of communication in the Blogosphere, there are active bloggers and blog sites that are dedicated to the creation of memes on a regular basis.

I'm still not clear, but what the heck! Here goes my MEME ...

Argghhh: aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgggghhhh (sorry, I'm having a slow start here).

Bake: I was going to bake a butter orange lemon cake tonight. Creamed the butter and sugar then discovered that I do not have the flour!! Went to 7-Eleven but they only have normal tepung cap wau! There goes my "would be perfect" cake with my secret topping!

Cat: I have another pet cat (currently staying with her adopted mother cat). A young kitten which I have named Cik Piah.

Dungus: Peng's favourite word at one time, not so long ago.

English: I still suck at this language even after donkey years of using it. My Malay is not any better either. Maybe I should pick up another foreign language so I can have excuse for not being good at any.

FOAD: Favourite word in my Uni years in UK which means... F&#@ Off And Die. Haven't use it for a very long time.

G-string (???): Used to wear it in younger years. Yup.. the lacey type as wel!. If I were to wear one now, would seriously lacerate my backside. Also can cause gatalness.

Hahahaha: I'm still progressing at a slow speed after the slow start.. bugger!

Ice tea: I just love ice drinks on a hot day and hot night! Ice tea, ice lemon tea, teh tarik ais, kopi-o ais, iced watermelon, lencheekang ais (sorry, a bit carried away here, but all so yummy!)

Janda: Reminded me of the SMS from a friend who concluded that married Malay men thinks janda is an easy target for them to menggatal. I totally agree!

Kemek: One of the names of my cat.. he has flat adorable face (I love you baby!).

Lemon and Lime: My favourite fruit/vege... so refreshing!!! I love key lime pie, lemonade, fresh lime drink, lemon sorbet, lemon cake, etc etc etc. Best remedy for motion sickness, IMHO!!!!

Meow: I myself call my cat by that name, not that it makes any difference!

Nangka: A fruit tree my mom used to plant around the house. You basically know that it is nangka tree when you see the fruit "wears" clothes while still on tree. My sister swears eating it will give her gas. But I wonder why it is called Jackfruit in english! Did jack discover it or looks like jack's "fruit".. whatever that is!

Orange: Also loves orange as I do lemon and lime. Prefers orange to apple! I'm now thinking of my butter orange lemon cake... yummy!!!

Papa: Not referring to father, but to the malay word that gives meaning to being very poor. I feel papa and I am papa!!!! I'm feeling depressed now.

Queen: As in Queen the rock band with Freddy Mercury!!! I wish FM still around so that I can go to their concert. I am convinced it would a BLAST!

Rambo: I once wished I had a boyfriend like Rambo... not so much for Stallone but the idea of having a macho and strong man by your side (then maybe I won't be be having this phobia of sleeping in the nude!)

Sebastian: Another name Meow is known as!!! Sebastian the Stud... heh heh heh. I feel like a mama san already!!!

Thailand: Great place to go for short break. After all it is so near and yet so culturally different. Tom yum and shopping!!!!

Uhuk-Uhuk: An old computer games I used to play in the office when I was working for a merchant bank. It was an awesome game. I think I might still have it somewhere in the boxes in my study room. Yay!!!

Vincent: A song about a psycho artist who cut his own ear!! Well.. also a gentleman by that name took me to my Senior Prom. Ahhhh.... those good ole days!

Wawa: It was a term used by an expat family I used to know to refer to vagina (in particular, the mother's vagina!). Yes, I have my fair share of knowing weird people!

X-rated: Have you ever watched a qood (quality) x-rated movie? I haven't (not that I have watched many... yet) and wondering if there is such a thing! And I wonder how they do rating for this kind of movie.

Yasmine: One of fav names for my daughter (if I ever have one). The other one is Ayesha/Aishah but my niece already have that name. Also love love love the flower.

Al-Zalzalah: One of the surah that I had to memorise (together with its terjemahan) for my Islamic Studies paper!! I think zalzalah means horse!!

Phewwwww....

Ok... I'm definately off to bed now!!! Buenos noches!

My cat burped but I haven't heard him fart!

Yeah.. I know. What a boring subject, but I swear. It was the first time I heard a cat burp!!!

Which brings me back to many years ago, when my cousin swore that cats fart like human when I scolded him for farting quietly when I'm around (if smell could kill, I would be dead at a very young age).

I'm still not sure of whether that is true, as I have no first hand experience of hearing one. I have smelled something sometimes back, but I wasn't sure whether it was the cat or the person that I was with! I just don't know how to bring up the question, and it is definately not a question you casually can ask an aquaintance... "eh.. did you just fart? smell awful by the way!"... nah... too awkward of a question!

Some people think farting is hillarious, while some think nothing of it. There are also those that swear it is so impolite!!! I think I fall in the category between... and depending on the exact situation. I mean, how can silent fart in a small, crowded and slow elevator can ever be funny!?!?! Worst still, when there are 3 people (including yourself lah) in the elevator and somehow everybody just eyeing each other with dirty looks. No matter how innocent you are, you will always be a suspect to other person who isn't guilty like yourself! There's no escape, I tell ya!

Same as burping... sometimes I feel disgusted by loud burping even though I shouldn't because it is quite a common thing in this part of the world.

But I definately think that my cat's burp was cute!!!! Yes, I am a certified nutter!

It had been a stupid week... ever!

You know you are stupid (even temporarily) when ...

1. You looked at the jar and wondered why the sugar granules was so fine!!! And you thought, it could be one of those diet sugar. 2 spoonful and 10 minutes later when you sip your tea, you left your collegues wondered about the funny expression on your face (yes... that fine granules was salt, you dummy!)
   
2. You normally drive wearing slipper instead of your decent work shoes. You parked your car, switched off the engine and change the footware, locked the door and started walking to your office. A few seconds later, you walked back to your car, opened the door and sat in the car again, because you have to get the other pair of the shoe. You were walking with one foot in the work shoe and the other still in your slipper!!! (a big time duhhhhhhhhhhh).
3. The morning before, you also went through the same routine. Your parked your car, switched off the engine and changed the footware. You wondered why it took you quite some times to fit into them. But you thought, must be one of those days where you're running late and suddenly nothing run smoothly! Off you go after locking the car, then somebody noticed your eyes nearly popped out. You felt funny walking that day, then you stopped dead in your track!!! Because you saw you had your left shoe in you right foot and the other shoe in your left foot!! (OH MY GOODNESS!!! You just thanked your lucky star that you had some sense left to came earlier to work that day,as there were less people around early in the morning).

There were other interesting incidents I went through during that week. But let me not start rubbing more salts into my deep wounds! The salty tea was enought to provide my sodium requirement to last a week.
