Che-Cheh

‘Pom-pom’ the milkman pounded his motorbike’s horn.

A dog hears the horn and quickly run behind a bush.

I thought “That’s funny” but decided to shrug it away.

The milkman leaves a packet of milk at one of the houses and proceeds to leave.

The dog is still behind the bush.

When the milkman is half way near the junction from where he came in, suddenly the dog start running.

Oh yeah he is chasing the milkman. And the milkman has no idea what’s coming behind him.

I watched in awe. Not about what’s going to happen next because nothing happened.

I was in awe with this dog. This dog ran like a leopard! You know, the kind of run where the 2 front and 2 back legs are so further apart that you can feel the sprinting power? Oh my! Oh my!

Who’s this mysterious dog? None other than Miss Zebra, the stray dog.

Oh btw, I’ve competed with Chester many a times for the running category. No prize for guessing who the loser is.

“I decided,” the 25-year-old Belgian said, “to stop fooling myself and accept it.”

“I always based everything on this motivation — this flame — that was in me. And once I lost that, I lost many, many things,” Henin said.

I’m saddened by this news. There will be no farewell tour or last tournament whatsoever. Henin retires with immediate effect. Her recent 2008 slump in tennis; losing 6-4, 6-0 to Maria Sharapova in the Australian Open, 6-2, 6-0 to Serena Williams at the Sony Ericsson Open in April and just this past week losing to Dinara Safina 5-7, 6-3, 6-1 in the German Open…well we should have see that coming.

Where she lacks in size, her enormous fighting spirit make up for it. I’ve seen her play when she just started out and I knew from there on she is going to be one hell of a great tennis player. The proof? Her 7 Grand Slam titles (4 from French Open, 2 from US Open and 1 from Australian open). Yup Wimbledon is the only title not in her bag.

She’s the only reason I tune in to women tennis in the first place.

As for her future, she will be concentrating on charity and her tennis school.

I wish Justine all the best.

Spring onions are just spring onions but there’s one particular spring onion that stand out really tall and pretty in my garden.

Have you seen anything like this before?

This particular one grew 60cm tall and blooms dozens of tiny little flowers from the semi-sphere stalk. Simply amazing!

My maid was as thrilled as me.
“Kak Che-Cheh, yo bawang tu berbunga. Sangat cantik. I tak pernah tengok la.”

Neither do I, but I acted cool…

and answered “You tak pernah tengok? Hehehe”

My wonderful friend, Randy has just come back from a USA trip. 20 days in USA…ohmy!!! Well, he has plenty of stories to tell me and most importantly he remembers to buy gifts for me. Hehehe

He spent most of his holiday in Florida where he stays in a B&B place (short for Bed and Breakfast), a beautiful castle in the midst of Utopia! Well that’s what he described to me. What he means is the place is so beautiful that you can call it Utopia. He said to checkout Castle Garden alpine industries if I’m interested to go in the future.

Among his most memorable memories are trekking in the alpine wonderland, having 20 days of delicious breakfast at his B&B accommodation and the chance to live in a castle. I’m thrill to hear so many interesting and also hilarious stories that happened to him during his stay there. He’s making me create a new dream…to have an alpine holiday! Hahaha

“Hey, have you try sugar from Brazil?” one of my friend asked me recently.

“Huh, sugar from Brazil? Nope. What is so special about it?” was my answered.

According to my friend Rhonda who hails from South America, Brazilian sugar is very tasty. There must be something in the soil that makes it taste so wonderful. She promised to get a few packets of Brazilian sugar for me next time to try.

She adds that Brazil is the largest sugar producing nation in the world. Sugar production in Brazil alone can affect world sugar prices. Wow I didn’t know that until now. She tells me to check Brazilian sugar prices if I didn’t believe her.

Well, I can’t wait to get my hands on Brazilian sugar. I’m thinking of making a cake for her using Brazilian sugar of course.

WHAPPP-BAMPP!!! Just like that 9 months is passing by. I’m not talking about pregnancy. It’s the Barclays Premier League la. Just like that we’re coming to the last game of 2007/2008 season. All 10 games will be played on Sunday. What’s more interesting is that the Barclays Premier League championship title will be decided on this very last day too. Juicy baby!!!!

Lob, last year you said we’re lucky. And I think this year Chelsea has been lucky. But their luck will run out this Sunday. Sorry to tell you…Manchester United is gonna win the Wigan game. And you know what happen when we win it right? Wuahahaha

My question to all of you: Who Do You Think Will Win The Barclays Premier League Title? (easy answer la)

I think we all can expect the 2 Davids to comfortably pull through to American Idol 7 Top 3.

Then we have Syesha Mercado and Jason Castro.

I don’t really like Syesha but lately she has been showing everyone why she deserves to be in Top 3.

As for Jason, I think he wants to quit since like 3~4 weeks ago. His body language (slacking, standing further apart from the group) and his EWW EWWW singing are telling America he’s not into it.

He can even smile when Brooke White was sobbing away while singing her last song. The only reason he remain is because of his looks which I don’t understand lo…he very good looking meh?

I really want, wish and hope Jason Castro to be kicked out in today’s elimination round. Urgghh!!! Cannot stand la.
