How very true...but then, just when you want a refill, none of the waiters would look your way. In those days, at the place where ypu used to wait on tables, waiters/waitresses couldnt wait for the glass or the plates to be empty. You look away and the glass/plate would be gone!! They dont make waiters/tress the way they used to.

Ohhh... bestnyer kalau ada 'girl', boleh beli all those pink and colorful frocks and shoes. But it's also been whispered into my ears (especially by chinese friends) how very "ONG" I am to be blessed with boys.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I jovially criticised Ayah for being ohhhh-so-not romantic - y'know, no candle lit dinners (except kalau blackout !!), no surprise bouquet of roses, no solitaire diamond ring for our umpteenth wedding anniversary (err... the date clashes with road tax & car insurance renewal, so competing demand la... hahahaha!!!). But I have a friend whose ever so romantic partner yg pijak semut pun tak mati left her for someone half his age. <BR/><BR/>Thinking about those two above are good enough reminders for me that it's okay even if my glass is half empty, at least I still have another half remaining which is safe, healthy & halal for consumption :)IBUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000715887814161911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9776295.post-46497563340005451852008-07-30T09:10:00.000+01:002008-07-30T09:10:00.000+01:00Salam Kak Teh.Harapnya Kak Teh sehat sokmo.Niii ki...Salam Kak Teh.<BR/><BR/>Harapnya Kak Teh sehat sokmo.<BR/><BR/>Niii kira melencong sket.<BR/><BR/>My h/p is 1/10th filled with Alleycats.
