paathi

after paathi cracked her second toe,

we forced her to stay in our house (a piece of flat ground).

surprisingly, more than a week has gone by

without her asking us to bring her back to the shop.

even though we still haven't installed astro yet.

so people who know me,

know that i talk to my paathi in malay.

yeps. just like an indonesian maid. XD

anyways, from my conversations with her,

i was provided with useful information.

paathi prefers mushrooms over tofu.

paathi uses hot water to wash her clothes.

paathi prays for two hours non-stop in the prayer room.

paathi eats the junk ( cottage fries) that i give her.

paathi loves soft (konyasi) basmati rice.

paathi has lots of inside information about people.

(questionable truth values, but they're good stories to listen to) :P

paathi usually eats 3 thosais at one go.

paathi watches p. ramlee movies with delight.

paathi says there's this other actor who passed away early that she likes.

paathi also knows that p. ramlee's wife has passed away.

paathi uses the word "keras", instead of "ketat".

paathi used to buy 1 ela kain yang banyak baik, bunga-bunga untuk anak-anak. (deepavali)

our washing machine at home was bought by thata

because at that time, saroja atte was doing all the washings by herself.

it is about 28 years old. (mithraka's age)

now i know its value. :P

it can stay at home until it thoroughly breaks down.

nothing much.

i don't really know what to post about.
hmm.... so.... so.... so?
how're you doing?
me?
oh well, i've been expanding and being wonderfully lazy.

yesterday, my friend and i were discussing about...
the possibility of a multi-coloured hacks sweet.
( guna gula-gula hacks hack komputer orang lain)
but i have a feeling that it'd look black,
because of its many many colours all lumped together.

i figured out a part of life's principles:
treat golden-aged people as how you would treat tiny children.
for children, you nurture them.
for elderly people, you cherish them.
for... the rest of them, well, you treat them okay? ;P

My Ma.

every entity is a complex being.

no person can be summarised with just words.

plain old, descriptive yet somewhat lacking in essence, words.

yet, words are only what i have right now.

therefore,

(in order to conserve energy)

i hereby note just a sentence:

my ma is a very special human being.

(at the age of 56, she still can:

be deceived by the likes of computer graphics;

believe in the metamorphosis of humans,

be bribed by a dessert of mouth-watering ice-cream.)

<3 ma, you're one of a kind. ^v^
