I was surfing the internet as usual. No new routine, no new website, nothing unusual. But suddenly a pop up appeared and then it just seem to duplicate itself. Really fast. Before I knew it, there were 50++ of them and I got disconnected from my internet service provider. You bet I nearly wet my pants.
I cannot close the pop ups because each time I attempted to do so, it came right back on. And I cannot click the shut down computer from the start menu neither, as well as choosing the CTRL + ALT + DEL. Exactly NOTHING happened. So, what a girl to do?
I switched off the laptop all right, by pressing the on/off button for a few seconds.
When it's right back on and I'm on the internet again, it's just natural to search for an anti spyware installer. So I stumbled upon this site, http://www.filehippo.com/ and there are heaps of installer! Glad I found it because now I know a cool place where I can download beneficial installer :)
I hope I won't get another scare after this. It's not nice to wet your pants on a relaxing, Sunday morning :P

And The Winners Are...
I have an uncle with a wicked sense of humor. He's a sharp man with comments that could sometimes make you want to hide yourself safely under the blanket. He could extract any information that he wants from you simply by asking several questions that build up from simple to tricky. So you got to to know when to twist your answer. You got to be street smart :P But he's fun, nonetheless. Honest.
As a proof, I am going to type out here the recent txt that he gave me just about hours ago. It has to do about the Malaysia current political scene. Something that almost everybody can talk about for hours because we have so much to say about everything :)
I must say, kudos to whoever make this thing up. Probably got inspired after tired of reading the newspapers and watching the news. Read the joke, comprehend it and you'll get it eventually.

my latest baby
No, not the baby who cries and wakes me up late at night :P
It is my latest project, hopefully something that enables me to share the knowledge and experience that I've gained from my career with others. I've thought about writing them here but after much consideration, it is probably better to record them somewhere else, where it is not jumbled up with other aspects of my life that I write about.
It's http://redhotcikgu.blogspot.com/
sorry, you're gonna have to copy and paste if you are curious. Tried to link it but I failed. Or you can click the link at the right hand side of this page, below the read this section.
And as the URL suggest, yes it's about teaching!

tickle that thick, funny bone.
It's Friday, alas :)
Next week is sorta a trying week for me, and the week after that. Heaps to be done and to think about and time just seem to keep on ticking. Before I know it, it's already Friday.
Well since it's the weekend, I guess we ought to let all the stress to evaporate. And what better way to do it than to laugh =))
So here's a story that I've heard over and over. But it differs from one source to another. Some changed the name, location and so forth. Whatever it is, it still is funny, in a perverted kind of way ;)
There was a Chinese lady married to an English gentleman and they lived in London . The poor lady was not very proficient in English, but managed somehow to communicate with her husband. The real problem arose whenever she had to shop for groceries. One day, she went to the butcher and wanted to buy pork legs. She didn't know how to put forward her request, and in desperation, lifted up her skirt to show her thighs. The butcher got the message and the lady went home with pork legs.
The next day, she needed to get chicken breasts. Again, she didn't know how to say, and so she unbuttoned her blouse to show the butcher her breast. The lady got what she wanted.
The third day, the poor lady needed to buy sausages. She brought her husband to the store....... ... so what did she do?

the post raya blues
I face this problem every single year. And I'm sure most of you (assuming that you are Malaysian) face this problem too. We eat a lot, especially during festive seasons. We just celebrated Eid / Aidilfitri / Raya and being a true Malaysian, I ate like there's no tomorrow ;P.
Gone are the glorious days that I celebrated my few lost kilos. The fats that I managed to get rid of during the fasting month probably had duplicated itself since the first day of Raya. To think of the yogurt diet that I gone through few weeks before Ramadhan, I feel ashamed of myself now.
The thing is, once we started to eat a lot, it's hard to stop.
I kept telling myself that it is only for the 1st day of Raya. Then it continued to the second and the third. Managed to stretch itself to the fourth Raya too, what the heck, it was the holiday and my tummy deserved a break from food restriction.
And it is now the second week of Raya and I'm bloated like a well fed whale.
So, what do you do in this situation?
Feel sorry for yourself, hate yourself for being a big easy *ha ha* and chow down even more food to ease the pain?
I'm tempted to do that routine. But, I'm getting older and I want to get better as I age. I want to be like the female George Clooney. You know, just like Jennifer Aniston :)
So as from tomorrow (I had to prepare my tummy to be ready, first. It's a sad thing to depart from plenty of food)I will go back to the diet that I think was working quite well for me and it involves a cup of yogurt every single day (to help with the digestion and it also provides plenty of vitamin!). And there'll also be less intake of rice. Although it is kind of uneasy to explain to other teachers in the canteen when I just have my lauk sans the rice,
"What, no rice?"
"Can survive ka?"
"How can you be fulled with just that?"
It's just so tedious to explain to everybody why I ditch the rice every now and then so I usually just nod and smile. I've talked way too much in classes already :)
To readers who are still in the mood for Raya (what with the open house and all), consume food responsibly :P Your tummy had a really nice one month vacation from working endlessly and just like anything, too much of something in one go could cause a breakdown.
And oh, in the spirit of Raya, would love to wish all readers SELAMAT HARI RAYA and MAAF ZAHIR BATIN.
