Busy May

It is amazing how time flies! Work just over-ruled almost all other activities (including blog writing!) that I have not written in a long time.

Besides, Storm was not around for the for about a week which also reduced the amount of blog materials tremendously.... ;-)

Fortunately, we found a new acquaintance & surprise... surprise... he's an auditor (but performing documentation services for us). He contributed some blog materials which I will share here. To provide anonymity (he's very shy.... blah....), I'll introduce this new character in our group as..... as..... as..... hmmm..... I'm stump... my creative juice is just not flowing.... Let's just leave him as Blade... until I can think of a better name...

Anyway, the first glimpse of the mischief behind the always proper & professional facade is a very funny character... Unlike Storm who show you right in the face, Blade's character only shows up when he's stressed / when he finally lets his hair down.

To cut straight to the story, it was one of those days with particularly difficult dose of Voldy, Blade finally broke his "cool as cucumber" profesional expression & burst out - "I think I should have been a chef! Then I will only deal with 'benda-benda yang sudah mati' (i.e. dead materials only). I can cincang-cincang (mince) them / do anything to them & will not get any complaints!"

Hmmm.... that's a thought. When Gangsta Mama & I first heard it, we both burst out laughing out loud (disregarding Voldy's presence).

uh-oh.... I'll need to stop now & continue about his antics in my next article. Hubby dearest want to have some "quality together time" (I know what you're thinking Storm...... go scrub your brains!) watching Indiana Jones. Adios!

Turning Silver?

I know it may be a wee bit childish to wanna make a fuss over this but...

I found a strand of white hair on me!! - errr, ok let's rename it to silver - near the edge of my hairline! It's not obvious (cos' it's only a strand), but it's there! Yikes!

Well Storm... I may join your all silver hair fashion statement in some years to come (soon? Oh please no!).

Toby Dah-Ling!....

Some might be wondering who in the world is Toby? Another Storm / Gangsta Mama / Road Bully?

It is a nick name all right... but not for a person but a car! Trust Gangsta Mama to come across this bit of news...

Well, it all started when our dear fren in office who offered a ride to Gangsta Mama & frens to the Farewell Party we organized for Yus (as 'reported' in my earlier blog). I can't remember the details of what happened along the way, but I do know that this cute lady of ours had to exert her Proton Savvy; which then prompted a spontaneous remark "Sorry ye Toby..."

Naturally Gangsta Mama's eyes widen as large as saucers, wondering who the driver said sorry to. Errr.... Your car has a name?!? But out of all names, why Toby?

The response / explanation I got was most appropriate indeed & thereafter I always find it to be very cute & endearing. It stands for :

TOBY = proTOn baBY

A stroke of genius! :-)
