Me, Myself and I
You carry yourself with sensuality and a flowing energy.
You have a great reputation, and you follow your own (good) advice.
Find out What Animal Were You In Your Past Life?
Oh! Thanks a lot! I don't think I want to be associated with a skunk. Those little 'stinkos'. Then again, maybe I was. I did behave like a stinkin’ lil’ girl before. When I did not want people to get close to me, I put up my defences.
I referred to Wikipedia for some information on this animal. These points struck me:
1. Skunks are reluctant to use their smelly weapon. See! I am like that. I don't like to use anything against anyone if I can help it. I am a people-person.
2. Interestingly, skunks will not spray other skunks (with the exception of males in the mating season). Why does that sound familiar? How many guys have I 'sprayed' in my past? I do believe they include the "gatal" ones, the drunk ones who became "gatal", "Mr Macho", and the drunk ones who assumed they're "Mr Macho". I did give the good guys a chance. Please don't say I didn't.... but some just rubbed me the wrong way (no pun intended!)
Following up on point number 1, I decided to check on my Interpersonal Intelligence rate.
Your Interpersonal Intelligence Score: 75%
You are definitely a "people person." You enjoy spending time with others.You instinctively understand people, and you are both a good counsellor and mediator.However, there are definitely times when you've had enough. And that's when you cherish being alone.
Well, that's enough of shameless advertising.
I dipped into my jar of ideas today and picked out "10 Things That Bore Me To Tears" - contributed by K.C. recently. I could not think of 10 things immediately. I had to get my mind stimulated first. Hence, Blogthings above.
When I thought about it, the 10 things that bore me to tears almost always leads to irritation. So, here's my list:
1. Waiting to see a doctor at Hospital Besar Anywhere in Malaysia. As if, this waiting is not painful enough…
2. Waiting to collect medicine at the pharmacy at Hospital Besar Anywhere.
3. Listening to sermons in church that don't make sense to me. Dear Padre, with all due respect, I don't really give a hoot what the next person thinks about the sermon. If I cannot find a message in that sermon, you have lost me.
4. Listening to men talk about their conquests of women. OK! I get it. You are Mr. Macho, women desire you. How about contributing a story where you save a woman's honour instead of taking it? :)
5. Waiting in line at the security check point at airports. Somehow the passenger in front of me always has hundreds of metallic things to remove from his pockets, a laptop that needs to be checked physically, a carry-on luggage that is scanned at least three times because authorities cannot figure out what it is they see on the screen, shoes that need to be removed (read: toe jam), belt that is oh-so-carefully holding up his pants. Oh dear! now I see a butt crack.
6. Soap operas that love to feature one woman sleeping with all the men in one particular family over a span of 20 years. Madam, there are other men in this world, you know.
7. Long speeches. Why? Why is there are need to talk that long? Why do speeches have to last more than 5 minutes? You are not giving the nation's budget speech.
8. Politicians. “Politicians are like diapers. They need to be changed often and for the same reason.”
9. Waiting for brides to arrive at church on time. (Unfortunately, this one requires an open letter for the bride-to-be. Please see below).
********************************************************
Dear Bride-To-Be
Your special day is coming up. You have dreamed about this for years. You will be a princess… but only for a day. Don’t get too excited. This doesn't always last a lifetime. Soon you will learn that the princess also has to be the cook, the cleaner and the eternal bed warmer.
You are going to have people fuss over you. It is likely you will forget about the others who are not sitting in an air-conditioned room waiting for you. Please be considerate and make it to the church on time.
Please try not to be fashionably late. People usually will pardon a 10 minute delay. Anything longer than that and you will find people wishing other things on you as you walk down the aisle. If you live 30 minutes away from the church and your wedding mass or service is at 4:00pm; for heaven’s sake do a little mathematics and taking into consideration traffic conditions. Leave the house early. Don't worry about some people keeping to Malaysian time and you wishing to go along with their habits. If they are late, their problem.
By the way, have you considered your husband-to-be? He may wonder if you have changed your mind. Don’t simply make him wait. Be considerate.
While we are this, I might as well throw in another piece of advice. For God’s sake, do not dress your bridesmaid like Little Bo Peep. She is not going to church to herd sheep. Let her be as elegant as you will be. There is no competition. You are the bride and she’s the bridesmaid.
I know you want to be the centre of attention. You will be, don’t worry. There are many eyes and not all of them can keep looking at you all the time. Staring at white too much may result in Malaysia’s first case of snow blindness.
Also, men know you are taken. The only thing they can do is kiss you on the cheek, hug you and maybe have a dance with you at your reception. That is all. Do take note that they are saving up their horny energy for the ones who are available.
I wish you all the best and don’t be late to church, ok?
Love
Aunty Kodok

Aunty Kadok...
Why are you like that? Always a bridesmaid never a bride ke?
Hehehe...
As for speeches of course lah long ...It's their time to shine....for few minutes at least while people still pays attention to what they're saying...
K.D... Aunty Kodok is married. It's me! Speaking from experience la. hehehehe The main point was "Try to get to the church on time. Don't make people wait."
Just an observation from over the years. No la.. I don't mind if the bride wants to be fussy but limit the fussiness la. ;) I was a bride too. I know how a bride wishes for her wedding day to be perfect.
I, too, thought that the reason why people give long speeches is because it is their time to shine. They want to say as much as they can. But, I feel, it defeats the purpose. Short, simple and more precise leaves a better impression. K-I-S-S.
Of course, now I can't say much about my entry. It is pretty lengthy. I have bored my ownself to tears! :)
JT, tried the animal in past life thingy... says I was a peacock. What a transition it must have been... was a PEAcock. Now I'm PEA bani... ha! ha!
Jac darling,
Hua hua hua heee heeeeheeee keee keekkk.... you funny lah my friend. Ah, what a post. Made my day you did.
He he he hehe...
Oh I did the animal test and I am a giraffe! whatever that means...
Good day
Enjoyed this post. Will return for the others. Guess what ? I was a fox !
We all hate waiting don't we ? Especially in hospital besar. Spot on...
Hi JT, you sure come up with very interesting'am-I-like-that-kind-of posts', ha ha.
Re long speeches, I stopped watching the Academy awards. Aiyaa, suda dapat the Oscar, say "thank you", then chabut, but no, "I want to thank my mother, my uncle, my neighbour, my dog, my sister's nephew, uncle Lee,....", what these people got to do with he or she receiving the Oscar beats me.
Ha ha, you're a 'skunk'? But I see the word 'sensual'. Ahh, thats interesting.
Late for wedding? Yup! I have experienced that, "traffic jam la". And the poor bridgroom thinking she last minute changed her mind chabut off with old boyfriend to Sarawak or wherever as those days mana ada hand phones.
Have a great day, JT. UL.
Pi Bani - that is funny. (hey it rhymes!) I'm a poet now. hahahaha
Elviza darling - Glad I made your day. At least you are laughing. I was working on a story for my posting next week and ended up in tears. So full of myself huh? Can cry with my own stories. hahaha Don't worry I bounced back after reading the comments here. Going to bed soon. It is almost 3am in Germany.
I need to go back and play that animal thingie again and see. I might find out what they say about Giraffes. While I am that I will check Pea Bani's PeaCOCK profile. :)
Hello Apandi, Thanks for the visit. I am still thinking about the food you mentioned in your blog. What la...so cruel. Tomorrow I have to find a way to make some kind of mee curry. If not "kempunan". Sure one. :)
Yeah, don't you just hate Hosp. Besars? I know la - public place, govt hosp., cheap compared to private clinic. So cannot complain too much. Still, there is a limit to someone's patience. I'll tell you, we can grow roots waiting for our number to be called.
See you around again. :)
Uncle Lee, you are so right... get award, say thank you and leave. You noticed they prepare speech already. Like real only, so sure going to win (and luckily they did!). hahaha
Me too, I stopped watching award shows. Cannot tahan. Nowadays, standing ovation at award shows come as cheap as buying a burger at McDonald's! Everyone very spectacular. hahaha
A skunk I am - eh! don't read too much into that word 'sensual'. The otak will process all sorts of ideas. ;)
As for being late for one's own wedding ... nowadays ah if bride is a bit late, the groom can call on handphone and say "oi, you gonna marry me or not? Why you not in church yet? oh traffic jam ah. where got? we pass through that street 15 minutes ago. everything clear. You don't bluff ah. Whose voice that one in the background? Sounds like Peter." *Click* ...adoi... die la... that one does not sound good anymore. hahahaha
You have a good day too Uncle Lee.
dearest JT... hahaha did the quiz afew times and I was at one time a lnyx, then a dog then a spider then a lion and I stop doing the quiz...scared that I was all kinds of animals in the kingdom in the past...ahahahaha. you light up my day!
Hey you gotta admit that the speech I gave at your wedding was short and sweet right. And thanks for ensuring that I did not look like little Bo Peep in the bridesmaid outfit .. he he he
Oh btw, I was a lynx in my previous life.
And this is what it says about me: You are a great knower and keeper of secrets.
A bit psychic, you can bring out hidden truths.
Hello Raden, I am happy that I am able to make you happy.
Yeah, the first time I tried that quiz I got the skunk. Then I did something in my editing, I lost the skunk description and everything else that followed.
I went back to do the quiz so many times, I was everything else in the animal kingdom except the skunk. So I had to do a search to find the skunk personality profile just so I could piece my entry together. :)
Very tiring, isn't it?
Now I read this comment back and I wonder how could I put people through the torture of reading what I wrote. hehehe
Pat, your speech was short and sweet, touching a bit of everything and ended up with a lovely toast to Mitch and me (under 5 minutes! woo hoo)
Yeah, I am trying to imagine you now in Little Bo Peep's gown and hat. hahahaha
You did have a choice of your gown, Pat :) Remember when we went for our fitting at the tailor? Molly kept talking about your *ahem* 'assets'? She tried to convince you to go lower with the neck line. She added that it was day to shine too. You told Molly that you did not want to shock anyone in church. After all you had to do quite a bit of bending down to adjust my train. hehehe
Wow..Pat.. that is so true about you. The key point for me - Keeper of secrets.
Now I know my secrets will go to the grave with you. ;)
Ya... my second try I became an eagle. And I thought I was a (pea)cock who turned into a (pea)bunny because I was born in the year of the rabbit... :)
Pi Bani, you are having fun with the quizzes, aren't you? I am going to have a bit of fun with it in a minute.
So, you were born in the year of the Rabbit. Me - Year of the Sheep. Fire Sheep to be exact. When I told my mum about my element, she said that alone speaks volumes about my character.Poor mum - always afraid I was going to "fire" someone on the street. hehehe
Am back for a breather after a loooooonnggggggg meeting with those who seems bright untill they open their mouth...
Should have been at your wedding, you know all these words like sensual, asset, bending, must have been a sight he he he
Pi Rabbit, you Sheep, me Snake - wooden with fire element and a Scorpion too...
Hello Apandi - Ah! I sense exasperation. Relak. Some people do have their 'blond' moments. You might have caught that person in his/hers. :) (no offence to natural blonds)
Lady Patsy did quite a bit of everything you mentioned! hahaha She looked sensual that day. Her assets were in full "bloom" (hahahaha), did bend quite a bit everytime she had to help me with my gown and train. I believe she was sight to behold. Guys have asked me if Lady Patsy is purposely putting on a sexy voice. No... that is her natural voice. When she speaks softly, she can send shivers down some men's spine. *brrr* Sorry Pat, I just cannot help it. hahaha
Wah! just reading your description - snake, wood, fire, Scorpion! yikes... sound like I should not offend you or I will kena 'sting'. Yes ah? :)
JT, if I didn't know you better, I'd swear you were trying to promote this little old spinster ... he he he
Pat, huh? what? where got? hehehe
Come on girl, when you've got it, you flaunt it. :)
re: item no. 4 on the 'bore you to tears list'...tsk...tsk..tsk...that wan ar...in all probability, 96.75% are all made-up ceritas.
item no. 7....they never realise people's attention span/tolerance for speeches is never more than 5 minutes. **sighsss**
and of course, items 1 and 2...it's always a good time to catch up on the books you have planned to read.
NyonyaPenang, I think ar... you are correct about that. I wouldn't have written that point if I did not get tortured with a particular guy's ceritas about his conquests. I was bored, really. I started to wonder if he went ahead and tambah-tambah, just to spice it up.
You know, I could never sit through a budget speech. I always wondered how people do it. They don't tidur? Politicians have been caught on camera, yawning and sleeping in the background. I usually wait for the newspapers next day for a breakdown of the budget.
As for nos. 1 and 2, ya... we can always catch up with books. Oklah, a few times I was so caught up with a John Grisham book, I did not realise 20 patients had gone in already. It was almost my turn. Sometimes it is very hard to read especially when it becomes overcrowded and noisy. I did not think of earplugs. Then again, if I had earplugs, I won't hear them call me. I am talking about those days when the electronic number system was not installed yet. The nurse will shout out in front of more than 50 your name and nombor giliran. After that, everyone in the room will know who you were.
Bravo for the letter!
Though I would like to add that guests who are late should be shot down immediately with no mercy. Hehe.
p/s: Hello! First time commenting here. I like the way you write! :)
Hello CC, welcome to my blog.
Thanks for the compliment. :)
Maybe my next letter should be to guests of the wedding. hehe
On second thoughts, I'd better zip it. If not, I won't be invited to anything anymore the next time I visit Malaysia. :)
Hope to see your around here, CC.
JT :o)
~ 2 days away from blogging & i miss your blog very much! i tried the quiz & i was a porcupine. here's what it said:
You have created your own path in life, and you encourage others to do the same. Even as life progresses, you always maintain a sense of wonder and innocence.
~ i dunno how much is true but yes, i still do wonder about alot of things hehehe ... me? innocent? no lah! buat2 je inosen *wink*
~ 2nd try, i'm a cougar!
You are a great leader who has dominance without ego. You are wickedly cunning and off the scale confident.
hahahaha i'm off alright. off-balance! off the scale confident? whatzat?
3rd time ... i wonder ... ;o)
Hi JT, I dare not check what animal I am in your given site, nanti it shows big buaya or aligator, arhaaa ha ha.
But Chinese zodiac I'm a 'Stallion', (sounds better than 'horse', ha ha). Also an Aquarius.
Guess I'll stick to that.
UL.
Syana, where have you been? I wondered why your blog was "silent". :)
I did the quiz several times and I had the same thing as you did, Porcupine and Cougar. Somehow, I think the skunk describes me the closest. hehehe (though I wonder if the sensual part is true) *hmmmmm
Wah! Uncle Lee, no wonder we get along very well in our blogs. They say people born in the year of the sheep can 'ngam' with 'stallions'. To top that off, you are an Aquarian - just like me! January or February?
By the way, stallion definitely sounds better. More 'ummph'. hahaha
JT :o)
~ just got home today. Spent the last 2 days at my mom's. She was feeling abit under the weather. She's ok now, fit to go back to Kota Bharu this Saturday :o)
~ running short of ideas or yadda yadda entries hehehe ... am thinking ... wait ah ... :o)
Syana, running short of ideas huh? How about writing 10 things that bore you to tears? We have K.C. to thank for that idea. ;)
Or maybe you can write something in honour of Mother's Day. Hey, how about that thing we talked about - Letter to Unborn Child. That will be a nice one. Although I will understand if you want to keep that private.
JT :o)
~ thanks for the ideas ... will one up with one soon :o) wait ah ... jap ek?
Hello JT,
I did not try the quiz but I know I'm an ANIMAL...roar roar sometimes...meow meow most times.
"Listening to sermons that don't make sense..' Sometimes I wonder if the religous really know why we go to church...not complaining, but..
'Listening to the mr macho..'Truly I enjoy listening to these kind of conversations. The more we talk of our "accomplishments" the more ridiclous and insecure we sound.
'Long speeches..' can stomach it as long as it has substance not
I-stance.
and
'Aunty Kodok'..I have so many of them la especially the ones that have their hankies tucked under their bra strap.
Hahaha..What a funny post!
I did the animal test thingy..
"You were a peacock. You carry yourself with beauty, dignity and confidence. You were able to see the past, present and future with clarity"
Sounds good, eh? Heheh..
JT...You, Fire Sheep? Me too laaa.... Hahaha... No wonder, I can blend well with you...
** will come up with one soon :o)
type error
Hi Tony (SUP), Thank you for that observation about Mr Macho - "The more we talk of our "accomplishments" the more ridiclous and insecure we sound." When I was tortured to tears by this guy giving me accounts of his exploits, I actually wondered if he was feeling insecure about his life.
Now, I wouldn't be surprised if a guy came up with my kind of list here and complaint of women who talk too much about their sexual power over men ... and he will refer it back to her insecurity in life. hehehe
True Blue - A peacock's description sounds excellent. I wouldn't mind being associated with that animal. But a skunk I am, and a skunk I will remain. hehehe
Hi Raden... wah! now I got someone in my camp. Fire Sheep huh? Aren't we just divine creatures? hahahaha
Shameless self-promotion going on here. :)
Fire Sheep - Gentle (me? hahaha) yet fiery (don't know la but mum told me I am too outspoken sometimes).
I am sure Tony (Stand Up Philosopher) can vouch for that fiery part. ;)
u r one funny girl, jt! i was in stitches reading yr boredom thing...he he he
i haven't tried that animal test yet. nantilah sat ek.
that posting - the letter to my unborn child sounds poignant and heart-warming. if only weblog exists 10 years ago (smile!)
Hey KC, thanks! I cannot help but see some situations comically. :)
That idea of Letter to Unborn Child was given to Syana by an older lady. Syana shared the thought with me. I'd imagine it will be a heart rending piece when written by a woman who longs for a child and can feel the child in her heart long before he/she comes into the world.
JT...
wow, am late and when came here today already number 40+.
me too have not taken the quiz...but at interview ling time ago ( really long time ago ) the interview asked, if you were an animal what would u be..
i said - i would be a fox! hehehe
i think it was true then, but now i would say i am an owl..( not sleeping at night! and supposedly wise too ) hehehehehe.
uiks auntie kodok!
cute nya nama.
idham
Idham, better late than never. ;)
Do the quiz la, very quick one. Put in birthdate and see what animal you are assigned to.
What la? Where got cute name - Aunty Kodok?
That Mr Apandi ar... he went to identify me as Aunty Kodok in his links. aiyooo... :)

If you want to join in the current conversations, do leave a comment in the latest sharing. That way I can introduce you in that 'room'.
Miss mum too. Remember how she used to make us keep quiet in church? When you were around in the house, my parents had three daughters! Glad you were there through the years.
