Just returned from the xmas shopping frenzy in town. I too got a little carried away with the shopping..heh. Countdown to the xmas day would be the best time to catch men doing their shopping. That last minute xmas for the wife, girlfriend, kids etc. There was this hunk of a guy infront of me(mind you, he looked expensive) dumping all his other plastics bags on the floor when paying for another. They just dont have a care in the world. Barbaric and hillarious really. I tell you, seeing men struggling with their shopping is priceless.

Before that, had lunch with friends at a Moroccan restaurant. There wasnt that many choice for the courses, it's either an 'Express Lunch' which are just collections of starters or a 'Relaxed Lunch' which consists of starter, a main course, tea and sweets. The Arab wannabe in us chose the Relaxed Lunch. It's a holiday after all. We just wanted to laze on the cushy cushions while enjoying our meal like the Arabs do. Furthermore, the 'Relaxed lunch' is more value for the money since it is just £8++/pax while the other one is £6++/pax. For starters we had fillo pastry filled with minced lamb and herbs, pastry filled with spinach, pine nuts and pomegranate and curried prawn in fillo pastry. For the main dish, two of us had Mossaka while Aishah had Tajjin lamb sausage with an egg in the middle.

I'm flying out tomorrow before the sun-up. I just need to sort out a few things at the office before I go. I doubt I'm gonna finish the work but I'll try, Insha Allah.

My sis told me that her son is one fussy child...yes the one with the hearing implant. He will not go to dirty toilets, he will not go to a ladies toilet and he sometimes do not want his mother to the loo with him. Adik had an appointment with the audiologist at HUKM yesterday. So that day at the hospital the boy wanted to poo. I asked the mother how can you tell whether he wants to poo or not? Simple. If he kept on holding on to the birdie front. The mother would put her hand on his lips and ask. 'Do you want to pee?' Then he will say, 'I want pee'. If the boy kept holding on to his bum with the face scrounge up like so..then he definitely wants to poo. So yesterday, adik wanted to poo. And he doesnt want to go to the ladies loo, he wanted to go to the men's. The dad, unfortunately, is so yucky with pooos..dang! 'No..I am not washing that boys bum', he'd say. The dad even insisted my sis to go to the men's toilet to wash up..Kelako kelako. As adik was still adamant not to enter the ladies',... the drama ends with my sister eventually entering the gents loo to wash her son's assed poo.
