My Observations

we were having breakfast one day when hubby commented that my eyes never seem to "keep quiet". he said i'm always watching here and there, looking at this and that. its true...i like to learn about things and i learn from observation. my observations may not always be correct and things i observe may not always be as they seem, but i dont go around commenting on them unless i have asked about them. i just observe but i dont offer my observations to other people.

anyway, here are some of the things i "observed" recently...
1. i saw a big billboard of a bank near sg besi toll. it says "bank rakyat - your choice bank". my first thought was...eh, there's something wrong here. macam tak betul je. i had a feeling that this is a direct translation, sure enough on the other side was written "bank rakyat - bank pilihan anda". my english is not great but shouldnt it be "bank rakyat - your bank of choice". its just not right. then i went to bank rakyat's website. yup...its there. which means, its the official tagline for bank rakyat.

2. the people on the LRT are just so kelam. there are those who just cant wait to run to the door before the train reaches the next stop. even before you hear yasmin yusoff's voice saying "stesen berikutnya..." you can already see these people either standing up or start pushing people around them or start shouting "excuse me..." to the people in front of them. alamak...relek lah. the train just pulled out from the last station, its still moving, your stop is miles away. just wait, will ya?? the door will be opened for almost 30 seconds. you have time to get out, dont worry. the worst is when the next stop (the stop these kelams are getting out at) are the famous stops, klcc ke, kelana jaya ke, masjid jamek ke. you can see that 80% of the passangers have already turned towards the door indicating they will get out on the next stop, but still these passangers get so kelam like they wont be able to leave the train, and starts going "excuse me, excuse me..." eh hello...everyone's getting off lah. relekkkkkk!! its different if its abdullah hukum station where hardly anybody gets on or off it.

3. you feel that your child learn so many things when you're not around. when i was at home, everything amir learnt i didnt get too excited about. maybe because i can see it coming. like when he took his first steps, or first responded to certain words. of course i was excited, who wouldnt be, but somehow i felt it coming since i see his progress every minute. but when i'm not at home and he does something new, i sort of get so shocked and surprised and wonder when did he start to learn to do that. yesterday hubby fed amir milk when he grabbed the box from hubby and held it himself while he drank. hubby & i was surprised. eh...since when he can hold himself? usually he refuses to hold and would just lie down when we feed him. he even drank without spilling a single drop. then hubby gave him a new box. lagi terkejut when he took the straw off the box himself and tried to poke it in himself. lah...since when he learnt that? hubby & i stopped eating and just watched him.

4. your head gets really heavy when you have flu. so now i'm going to bed...
