I'm going unggas-loving.

Whenever someone mention 'bird's nest' i usually picture something like this:
(yes, i drew this pic) ;P


But there's actually a variety of bird's nest,
and ada dua jenis sarang burung just in front of my house:


If im not mistaken, the white one yang macam rumah tu is for pigeons, while the one that looks like a pregnant woman is specially for burung tempoa (or is it tempua?) yang ingin bertelur and the one with the two holes was also made by burung tempua, but functions only like a rest house, sebagai tempat persinggahan where the bird bertenggek.

The architecture is cool, i mean, can u imagine building these nests (excluding the man-made pigeon house, of course) with only your mouth as the tool and saliva as the cement? Plus they can make it in all shapes and sizes. No wonder we humans are copying their design. Just look at Beijing National Stadium.

Birds are amazing.

Oh and they are not stupid too.
The nests have been hanging out there in the front yard for months now and not a single bird has ever been as close as even 2 metres to the nests. Not that we expect them too, they are just there for decor. Humph.

ps: I'm going jogging tomorrow. i am. i will. jogging! tomorrow! GO!

I'm going green!

With the Earth Hour thingy and all..i've decided to go green!

Err, ok, that was a lie.
I was editing the html for the blog layout, but things became messy so i ended up choosing one from the Blogger template options.
Kinda like the green vibe of this template(what vibe?).

Just because.

Why should i do something just because everyone else is doing it?

Don't answer.
I know exactly why.

1. to prove that i belong
2. to satisfy demands
3. to fulfill expectations
4. to entertain certain ppl
   

What happen when i don't?

I'm questioned why.
For many, many times.
They wont accept "just because."
And so, i become liquid.

But im quite solid about this one thing.

Why?

Just because.

ps: Just because i can, doesn't mean i should.
pss: am having flu and bit of headache.

Rules:
It's harder than it looks! Use the first letter of your name to answer each of the following questions. They have to be real...nothing made up! If the person before you had the same first initial, you must use different answers. You cannot use any word twice and you can't use your name for the boy/girl name question.

Life is short.

I was woken up by the sound of my Atuk babbling this morning. He told me to keep his money for him. He rattled on, telling me how he tried to count the money but he just couldn't. He initially planned to go out to minum teh- his daily routine, but right after he get dressed and all ready to go out he felt dizzy and he realized he had no idea of the sum of money he had on him at that moment. He knew he can't count correctly anymore. He's been forgetting things since last December, i noticed, and it's getting worse each day. My granny whom i call Wan was listening to everything he said and commented, "Tuhan dah ambil balik separuh..."

If you've watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, you'll probably know how i feel right now. I almost cried while watching the movie. I used to think im not the sensitive type, but i now doubt that. The movie basically showed me one of my greatest fear- death of loved ones. I dont want to even imagine how Benjamin feels, but i reckon my empathy level is quite high, and all the way through the movie i subconsciously put myself in Benjamin's shoes. Not exactly a great one, that is.

The only good thing that came out from my Atuk's condition is that he talks more now. Atuk doesn't talk much, he usually do things on his own, minding his own business. After the condition worsen, he talked to us, although mostly out of frustration on how he tends to forget things- when he cant find the road back to the house, how a stranger in the surau tells him the extra rakaat he'd done for his solat or when he asked us where he put his belt, etc. He even cried in front of me once- just now in fact, when he told me he wanted to do the Hajj. He has the money, but im afraid with his current condition, going to Mecca isn't really best for him.

He's 84, and is suffering from a lot of medical problems but alhamdulillah, is not at the dangerous level (i hate to say this, but it's the fact)- yet. Judging from his symptoms, he may have dementia, or even Alzheimer's disease, but im no doctor and if it's true then there isn't really a cure for the disease. Few drugs can help but i think he had had enough of medications already.

Im in a sad mood, im supposed to study for my EOS and still have A LOT to read, but i just have to get this thing out of my mind first. If you're reading this to the end- i dont know why you bother, but it shows that you're a caring person and so i hope u can pray for Atuk's condition to get better. I hate to see him like that. Thanks.

hey: Also watched slumdog millionaire last week, quite a movie. They deserve the Oscar.
