welcome to 2009

one semester as a lecturer in uitm has passed.late last year,i moved out from abang's apartment and started living along in a double story terrace house in desa alam.life became challenging n tough,n lonely,but what the heck?!i've been living alone for the past 6 years.i should have been an expert.

n a new member was born last year too.nur damia, a daughter to rohaizat (my abang) and siti nur.she totally got abang's physical factors especially the petit part.that's what everybody been saying.hehe
these 3 girls grew bigger n bigger.safia goes to school this year.alia lose weight a little.n lisa is still lisa
it is so rare to see lisa in her feminine look it's hard to get the best pic with this little girl too

attention deficit disorder syndrome (adds)

the symptoms and manifestations of adds:

today's a nice, sunny day. great day to get lots of things accomplished. one of the first things i'd like to do is wash my car.

i go outside and start fixing the house. suddenly, i remember that there is some mail sitting on my living room table, so i decide it's best to got back in and check the mail first, in case there are some important bills due.

i enter the living room, and put my car keys on the table. the i sorting the junk mail from the bills. as i put the junk mail directly into the wastebusket under the table, i notice that the basket is full. i figure i'd better take the trash out at this time since i'm going out to wash my car anyway.

as i put the bills back on the table, i realise that it's actually better to see the bills first in case i forget to pay them later. so i take my cheque book from my drawer. however, i find that there is only one cheque leaf left. my extra cheques are in my desk in the study.

i head straight to my study. there i find the cup of kopi-o i had been drinking earlier. because i need to look for my cheque book, push the cup of kopi-o aside so i won't knock it over accidentally. as i touch the cup, i realise the kopi-o is cold, so i decide i had better put it in the microwave to reheat it.

as i head towards the kitchen with my cup of kopi-o, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye. the flowers look like they need watering, so i put the cup of kopi-o down on the counter, and there i find my pair of reading glasses that i have been searching for all morning. i decide i had better put my reading glasses back on my desk. but before i forget, i had better water the flowers before the wilt.

so i put the reading glass back on the counter, and while i fill a container with water, i suddenly spot the tv remote - someone must have left it on the kitchen table. i realise that tonight when we watch tv, we will be looking high and low for that remote and no one will ever remember it's on the kitchen table - it's just not intuitive - so i had better put it back in the place where it belongs. but first, i must water the flowers befire they wilt.

i splash some water on the flowers, but most of it spills on the floor. i quickly put the remoteback down on the table, get some rags and wipe up the spill. then i head back to the living room, trying to remember what i was planning to do.

at the end of the day, the car has not been washed, the bills not paid, there is a cold cup of kopi-o sitting on the counter, the flowers have not been watered, there is still only one cheque leaf in my cheque book, i can't find the remote nor my resding glasses, and i just can't remember what i did wiht the car keys.

then when i try to figure out why nothing got done today, i'm really puzzled beacuse i have been busy all day long, and i am really tired. i realise this is a serious problem, and i'd better get some help.

but first, let me go check my e-mail!!
