Jealousy is an emotion experienced by one who
perceives that attention, love or affection is being given to a third
party when it should rightfully be given to them. For example, a
jealous lover might dislike their partner spending time with other
members of the opposite sex, because they feel that they are the rightful sole recepient of their mate’s attention.

Jealousy comprises a form of the deadly sin of envy, but implies a
feeling of personal claim which is not present in envy, as well as the
requirement of a third person.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld    Jealousy contains more of self-love than of love.

The Face of our sleepy parents greets us as we arrive at the front gate at 3am.

Me and my bros made the journey back to Kota Tinggi to celebrate 1st of Ramadhan as one whole complete family.

We have been apart for 6 years(Dad was posted at Sabah). Only this year we could manage to get together for makan2 at our newly renovated house. The only difference is..dah takde our own backyard..coz we live in a Taman Perumahan..what a loss.

The one thing that remains the same is mum’s food(yummy!!!), the frequent feline visitors..(strangely our house never fails to attract them)..there is tompok
..kuning..and that poor persian cat who lives in the ‘penjara’  (poor thing..always staring at me )..and our old neighbour, the friendly nyonya is still there..babysitting her grandkids.

*Kuning..our newest addition of family feline friends.

My father is a retired plantation manager. He worked with plants and trees all of his working life. No wonder sedikit sebanyak it has been inherited to his sons.
  I remember when i was a kid..I’ll take the seeds from a chilli pepper and plant it. Waiting with excitement to see it grow. And it did grew to be a healthy chilli tree bearing crooked green chillies.

  After SPM..during a ‘menganggur period’. My father drove a tractor and make ‘batas’ at our backyard. I was assigned to plant 5 different veggies..spinach,sawi,long beans..apa lagi aa..lupa lak..
Recently i went to TESCO and bought some pots and potting soil, took some chilli pepper seeds and semai the benih. Now my balcony is a mini ‘taman herba’.

The first attemp failed..my pokok..died coz of parasites..

The second attemp..SUCCESS!!..but i’m still waiting for the fruits of my labor
Today..i have pokok daun sup,daun bawang,several cactusses, an aloe vera plant and daun kesum…BESTNYERRR!!!!

Pippo is an ordinary house cat. She moved in together with my brother. Her father Totti was surrendered to PAWS because of ‘violent behaviour’.

Pippo is quite timid. She doesn’t like to be held. She runs around my apartment house in every single minute of  her waking hours.

Nowadays..Pippo has found a new favourite pastime. She would wait patiently for my brother to be home. As soon as my brother started working with his notebook, Pippo would lie behind the notebook. She likes the warm temperature there.

At the beginning..Pippo seems like just another housecat. But now, she is another member of my family. WE LOVE YOU PIPPO!!!!!

A NEW STORY EVERYDAY..thanx for all the loyal readers…i promise to keep you all entertained.

Saya ada sebatang pokok kaktus. Nama kaktus saya Kak Tus.. Tapi saya rasa Kak Tus dah menopause sebab tiada bunga yang tumbuh..

  Kak Tus berdiri di balkoni saya setiap hari. Sangat kasihan kerana beliau terpaksa berhadapan dengan habuk dari pembangunan pesat di sekitar rumah saya.

  Oleh kerana sekarang musim hujan, saya tidak perlu menyiram Kak Tus. Makcik saya pesan, jangan terlebih siram Kak Tus, nanti dia lemas.

Minggu hadapan saya akan bercerita tentang pokok lada saya. Cik Li. Kita berjumpa lagi diepisod yang seterusnya.
