my nose ticks
do u know that? my nose ticks..
whenever i pat a finger on it, it'll make sound like a ticking clock. (i'm doing it now just to check)
and this is no news to some of my frens. in fact i've got one guy calling me the ticking-nose. oh well.. wat's so great about that. well, last nite, when i was watching ripley's believe it or not, i showed my bro, yeh, my believe-it-or-not ability. he shrugged me off - obviously wasnt impressed - and mocked me. i was irritated (that's natural when i'm around my bros). i was convinced he was using his 'nasal fluid' to produce the sound.. which sound, irritatingly similar to my ticks, in fact, louder. but i was wrong. i was wrong. it was no trick. his nose ticks too!! proudly both of us showed zetty our newfound unique similarity. she tried to no avail. next mama, nope. not working. have yet to check papa and the rest..
this is freaky..
y is his louder.. hmm..

it's 2 days till the CNY event. i'm a bit jittery.
papa and dearest had a talk. papa asked him about his decision, told him abt his responsibility, shared with him about their hardship when they first got married 24 yrs ago, about the Niks clan (even i need explanation on this one), about his role between his mom and me (as his wife later, insyaAllah) and last but not least, office matters.. ehehe. mama was suppose to join but down with illness that nite. her BP is on the higher end. it needs no telling that she's been working too hard. juggling a blooming trading business and a huge and spoilt family at once. i wish i could help but it's hard when she always prefer to do stuff on her own. she'll have bibik cut everything but she has to be the one who fries them, in the correct sequence, so that all of the dishes will arrive at the table with correct temp. she maintains her own book keeping be it for the hsehold or her business. she does them all with this particular sense of exclusivity. but she's well now. met her by the lake this morning, just came back from jogging wearing a huge grin. i've noticed that ever since she came back from the clinic, she's exceptionally cheery. perhaps the doc told her to be happier, sink in the spirit of the kids. she watched 'senario' with us and laugh at all the unintelligent jokes willingly yesterday.

i've also been meaning to blog about the departure of the 10 yr-old Nurul Huda, but i guess it's worth no further mention if no action is taken. for the family, i share your grief. may God bless her soul. when things like this happens, i cant help looking in the direction of my 9 yr-old zetty. i pity her. my parents was left with no choice but to tell her abt the danger she's risking out there. the safety measures. the never-alone policy. she clasped our hands tighter when we're outside now. i pity her. to be living in insecurity and suspicion at such tender age. to understand that human can hurt them as bad even if they were just cycling around, just being kids. see.. i'm emotional about this already. enuff said.

anyway, Happy Chinese New Year to all..
may it be a properous and joyous one.
may the event run smooth.
may all of us live happily ever after.
