Busy happening months July-August

First it was my birthday last month: celebrated nearly 4 times..... One with family, second with close friend Hana, third with MJ and fourth a more of combination of birthdays, leaving do and thanksgiving for our clerk's promotion kinda party that was organized by our tutor Darman who is now on study leave doing his PhD in Newcastle University, England and Hidayat the department clerk.

Then I was hooked on Wimbledon which saw a new champion, Rafael Nadal who outwittted and outshone Roger Federer twice on two Grand Slam tournament this year: Roland Garros and Wimbledon.

It was followed by my hectic days at work, addicted to Scramble! in Facebook, and weekenders with MJ and his cousin.

Now the once in four year summer Olympic in Beijing. We saw world class athletes breaking records after records like Michael Phelps in swimming competitions who made 6 so far.... With a cool theme: One world One dream, i dunno whether it sends chills to America with that one powerful theme signal from China. Right at the moment, China is dominating the medal standings and they just keep on getting better and better.

Some of the pictures which captures the essence of July-August:



1. It is a Macademia white chocolate cake. First time trying it and it should be the last. I'd say stick with those chocolate ones from Secret Recipe


2. The traditional candle lights...


3. One weekend sojourn in Cherating beautiful beach


4. View nearby our room in cherating


5. A friend of mine on her nikah day.



6. Wimbledon 2008 champions: Rafael Nadal and Venus Williams



Latest news is Malaysian own Lee Chong Wei will go to final in Badminton Men Single and Malaysia will surely be adding either silver or gold to our zero so far medal standing. And Rafael Nadal will play against Fernando Gonzales in the Tennis Men Single Final.


Sodomy....is it a political thing now?

Marha,

Memang she didnt war-warkan pun...itu pon because i asked her. She didnt invite any one pun except Haida maybe, and I pon once i tau, i offered to come directly lepas office. But she said she will send out the invitation for her upcoming reception in November to all her friends inshallah...Yang penting kita doakan dia bahagia.

Hello Manal, many happy returns of the day and many, many more to come.
I wish you lots of good health and laughter always.

Holy Smoke! I saw your pic at the beach in Cherating and kliked on it to enlarge...Manal, where were you when I was on the prowl, ha ha.

Cherating beach bila ada bulan terang is sheer magic.
This place, as well Tanjong Jara and Kelantan's Pantai Cinta Berahi are fantastic places to be, especially on moonlight nights...and kalu with a lovely, alluringly sensual lady by the name of Manal....tentu nampak dua bulan, ha ha.

I can see you are on to sports. Me too as have been glued to the Olympics, at nights due time difference.
Canada had a dought on medals till that Vietnamese Canadian girl won gold in women's wrestling. But I can tell you, itu satu perumpuan I will not date, ha ha. Boleh pata tulang, ha ha.

Manal, you are really hilarious!!! You made me burst out laughing read your, "lesbo" mention, arhaaa ha ha. You're really cute la! My kind of woman.

By the way, minta ma'af, but what you mean by "jambu" where men are concerned? You mean hard headed? Stubborn?
Must excuse me la, da 21 years away, lost touch with my Bahasa slangs and whatever.

Love the pic of the 4 ladies....and your Macadamia cake.
Wow! A beautiful woman, boleh make cakes, looks good on a beach...designer sunglasses and all....

"Hello MAS, I want a ticket to KL ASAP...", Ha ha.
Manal, you stay gorgeous and go get him. Ha ha. Lee.

Lee said...

Hey Manal, I just enlarged that pic of the 4 ladies and Holy Smoke, Now I see its YOU in that lovely red or orange baju.
Manal....you look so delectably gorgeous! Love the colour.
Kalu pokok rambutan ada red ants or kerangas, I will still climb for you, ha ha.
You stay beautiful, Manal and have a great week, Lee.

Uncle Lee,

Well, Jambu for men means = cutey pie looking fella, sweet innocent face and all.


Aaaawww....u r just being too kind la Uncle with all those saccharin sweet compliments yet I DO appreciate them very much!....But yeah i like that photo too very much especially that i portrayed a very happy cheerful face. It makes me smile too seeing myself like this.

And on your 2nd comment, yup spot on! But i actually looked rather tired there as i actually took off straight from work to the pejabat kadi which took me about 40mins. Still, my happiness for my newly wedded fren kinda lighten up my already pasty face!

Rt Hon Sir Cipan Nougat-Tenuk said...

PS: Jangan la kaypoh2....shhhh...
