How to save during raya :)

2011-08-04T23:11:00.001+08:00

Some people like to have everything 'new' during raya.
But why not this raya you sacrifice a bit...

Making a sofa slipcover is a pretty though job but can be easily done with patience.

The results will be worth it!

I've been starring on this sofa for quite some times, just to get the idea on how i'm gonna make it.

and the budus me, i google 'how' after i've done this. adehh..

Before

this was a second hand sofa (3+2+1) donated from my sister, sayang bah when she said she want to throw away,

err..i mean give away to far-far away kingdom.

*volunteer to adopt this, is one of the way to save oso dat.:P

After

The leftover for curtain. one set yo! :D

*ignore the benang2 and tekurang kain. :P

I'm a first timer ok! :D

How Much i spend?

The kain bunga2 => RM57

The plain stretchable kain cost me => RM20

Thread => RM0.50 X 2 =RM 1
no need zip, i just 'main ikat2'

and no fb for 4 days. hehe

*well, at least can add your budget for more kueh raya ;)

Jatiluwih Paddy Field

2011-07-22T09:16:00.002+08:00

Rice field in Jatiluwih. The corner right is the 'Sanggah'

The paddy field scenery in Bali remind me very much of my younger year (i'm not that old tho' :P). Observing how their system goes and built into steep hillsides manually amaze me. In, Bali most of the paddy field have their own 'Sanggah'.Sanggah is a shrine that contains an offering for the God or Goddest (Dewi Shri).

From Wiki:-

Dewi Sri is believed to have dominion over the underworld and the Moon. Thus, Dewi Sri encompasses the whole spectrum of the Mother Goddess- having dominion over birth and Life: she controls rice: the staple food of Indonesians; hence life and wealth or prosperity; most especially rice surpluses for the wealth of kingdoms in Java such as Mataram, Majapahit and Pajajaran; and their inverse: poverty, famine, hunger, disease (to a certain extent) and Death. She is often associated with the rice paddy snake (ular sawah).

How ah?

2011-06-23T12:05:00.007+08:00

I've been playing with DSLR for quite some time and many ask me how to take good photo. (You ask me ‘good photos’, heh? Thats mean my photo good la...hehe.bah, good for kampung-kampung la..)

Actually I have more question than answer to that question. err.. Maybe i take too many types of photo's and confusing my own brain now.

argghhhh..I don't know how to explain la people..where to start?

now..let it be ME.

HOW TO TAKE FLOWER - Best for beginner to practice this;)

1. Get very close to the subject
To draw attention details every flower has to offer.

2. Clear the clutter
The best flower photos usually zero in on a single flower or small group of flowers making them very similar to portraits.

3. Get the right light
Soft morning and evening light work best to capture the delicate textures of petals.

4. Look for ways to complement colors
Look for ways to combine colors that complement
each other.

Good Luck!

And after a while the driver pissed off (maybe la), stopped and let me get out from the car and take photos :D
Thanks bli, you're the best! ;)

Bali Day 1

2011-05-16T22:48:00.004+08:00

I would first and foremost like to say thank you to Made, Paul, Maria & Jessy –(and your family too) for your incredible hospitality and for helping to make my first visit i dreamed it would be would be. Thank you. It's been so lovely and memorable. Everyone has been so helpful & friendly. I look forward to my return (oo OOhh.. :D).

****************

This is truly the Island of the Gods even though Hinduism is the dominant religion (93.5% approx) other faiths exist across Bali. ..(1.4% Christian-Catholic & Protestant) the rest was Muslim.

First, we attend Sunday Mass (mass start at 7am) at Gereja Katolik Paroki Roh Kudus Babakan, Bali

yup, to thank God for given the power and blessing to visit this land. ;)

Breakfast after Sunday Mass at villa prepared by Ms Ketut.

Nice o this omelette with cheese.

What a wonderful place to stay. Super clean and very quiet.

nice eh. 3 bedrooms and only two of us occupy this villa, how cool...

Love everything about this villa, the design, the wood craving detail,

the swimming pool

(I've been testing swimming pool ph the pass 10 yrs - so i know how good the water is hehe),

jacuzzi, the window with spectacular view of Canggu paddy field.

..and the three of them, Wayan, Ketut & (ah i forgot his name) the caretaker.

Our first stop of the day

Lake Side View Kedisan Floating Restaurant & Water Sport

(nice food)

Kedisan is a small rural village on the edge of Lake Batur, under the shadow of the magnificent active volcano Mt Batur.

Kedisan is in the Kintamani region in the district of Bangli, 2.5 hours from Denpasar Airport

----------------------------------------------------------------------

next..Tirta Empul Temple

Hinduism in Indonesia is primarily associated with Bali.

Hindu believers in the early 1990s were relatively few outside of Bali,

where they made up more than 93.5 percent of the population

Tirtha Empul Temple located at Bali central part Tampak Siring district.

Tirta means "The holy water" in Indonesian language.

The source of the water is from the sacred spring in the middle area.

Hindu society in Bali believe that this water source can heal various of diseases, hence every day this place is a lot of visited by Hindu people to do the ritual and sanctify them self .

This place has been opened for public and as a famous tourist destination in Bali.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Sunset & dinner at Echo Beach

I was so sakai when i see the ombak so big :D

Dear Lord,

Thank you for giving me another year of life. Thank you for all the people who remembered me yesterday by sending emails, smses, gifts and good wishes.

Thank you for all the experience of past year; for times of success which will always be happy memories, for times of failure which reminded me of my own weakness and of my need for you, for times of joy when the sun was shining, for times of sadness which drove me to you.

Forgive me for the hours I wasted, for the chances I failed to take, for the opportunities I missed this past year. Help me in the days ahead to make this the best year yet, and through it to bring good credit to myself, happiness and pride to my loved ones, and joy to you.

Last but not least, send my regards to mom up there, I knew she remembered my birthday and let her know I’m doing fine here. Thank you Lord.

Amen.

Pizza

2010-08-21T06:03:00.005+08:00

woww what a long pause in here. hehehe

One nice Swiss lady teach me how to make pizza. Well, actually i did attend some class but frankly, this one more masuk to my otak then the previous. It was unofficial lesson but i learn a lot of things, which include the history, the origin,why this, why that, whatever la, related to pizza. And the most i remember, originally "pizza is a food for poor people", ya, ya like me.

No picture for this post, i will post once i done everything, later in the evening, after sungkai. hehehe *puasa bah give way la..

.....from Wikipedia..

The word "pizza" is a contemporary mispronunciation of the word "pita",[citation needed] a type of bread and dish that exists since time immemorial in the Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. By 997 the term had appeared in Medieval Latin, and in 16th century Naples a Galette flatbread was referred to as a pizza. The pizza was a baker's tool: a dough used to verify the temperature of the oven.[citation needed] A dish of the poor people, it was sold in the street and was not considered a kitchen recipe for a long time.[citation needed] Before the 17th century, the pizza was covered with white sauce.[citation needed] This was later replaced by oil, cheese, tomatoes or fish. In 1843, Alexandre Dumas, père described the diversity of pizza toppings. In June 1889, to honor the Queen consort of Italy, Margherita of Savoy, the Neapolitan chef Raffaele Esposito created the "Pizza Margherita," a pizza garnished with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil, to represent the colors of the Italian flag. He was the first to add cheese.[1] The sequence through which flavored flatbreads of the ancient and medieval Mediterranean became the dish popularized in the 20th century is not fully understood.

My kids played Shrek cd over and over again during the 2 weeks school break. Now this song stuck in my head. *not to mentioned 'are we there yet' line.
To my surprise, many many version i found out. Enjoy!

about this song

*from wikipedia

"Hallelujah" is a song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen and originally released on his studio album Various Positions (1984). The song found greater popular acclaim by way of a cover by John Cale, which formed the basis for a later cover by Jeff Buckley.

Although it achieved little initial success, in recent years cover versions have been performed by a large number and broad range of artists, both in recordings and in concert, and has now surpassed "Suzanne" (written in the 1960s) to become the most-covered Cohen song.

I met Edna's mum during one of my wedding assignment back in December, and as normal conversation "How is she? How many kids she have? " then, after long chat, I remember she was saying,"She resigned and settle down to take care of our retreat centre in Kionsom."
( I didn't even ask the place name. Bengong me!)
*Easy bah to find Edna's in FB! LOL)I forgot about it until end-february. Okay la, i try SMS her la and hopefully her hp still active. She replied and the most thing i remember "Bawa baju, trus ko pi mintolop sana kulam" :P

Apparently, that remind me of our college life. We were 'kamcing' classmate back then and we have travel almost all the interesting places here, in Sabah. From island to the mountain, discovering great valley in Lahad Datu, down to Kinabatangan river and forest, discover the bird nest harvesting in Gomantong, smell fresh kampung air in Tambunan, then discovering the Murut culture as well as climbing Batu Punggul in Pensiangan. Huuh! i tell u! Awesome!Kg. Sukau, along Kinabatangan riverBatu Punggul, with another best buddy, Donna & Sundi

Okay,Okay, I'm talking about Nuluhon Garden here..

NULUHON GARDEN RETREAT

The Nuluhon Garden Retreat Center is just newly open to public and is ideal for gathering and camp. Just 10 minutes from Inanam town. It has an open deck, private rooms, kitchen, hall etc - all the facilities are perfect. A beautiful and famous water fall located just 15 minutes by jungle trekking from the center.

Edna and daughter. ~ Still maintain lawa...

Psstt.... She was former Inanam Unduk Ngadau and top 7 in State Level. ;)

2010-04-25T02:11:00.006+08:00

2010-04-08T16:37:00.004+08:00

We supposed to have a staff photo session today but end up visiting mortuary room to identify one of our colleague's body. He died on tragic accident in early morning.

Aiyyaaa...what a day to start with.

I never visit mortuary room before and i only can imagine the CSI setting. At first i was ok. But when we reach to mortuary lobby, i feel dizzy. I don't know was it the mixed feeling, or the smell or 'something' that goes into my body (some said la).

Room staff : bah, mari ikut saya.
We (4 of us) : Berapa orang boleh masuk?
Room staff :Semua boleh. Marilah. (friendly staff)

*i was hoping that only 1 or two and wait outside. but since they all want to go, so did i.

We enter a room with lots of cabinet and drawer, just like the office steel cabinets, but this one is larger. Each drawer labeled with particular of the body, name, race, etc.. And i manage to glance the other drawer,labeled Philipino. But didn't read the detail though.

Room staff : Ini kan?

Pointing at the red colour handwriting.

We : *nodded*

He pull the cabinet, and head come out first, inside black big plastic bag. Still with his cotton black jacket(which he always wore in night shif), scar in face, hand, and his neck, few spot blood stain still there. My colleague sempat lagi pull the jacket, to see the body inside.ishh.

I was at the back of one of my colleague, gripping tight his t-shirt. (Which wasn't aware of, until they talked about it later.)

Room staff : ok?

We : mm.

We left from the mortuary room, and i start vomitting. It wasn't that bad at first till we reached office. Lucky someone saw me at washroom.

Forget the vomitting part.

Now you people out there, Don't ever drink and drive.

Have a blessed weekend! Happy Easter

Love Will Keep Us Alive

2010-03-25T06:54:00.003+08:00

:P. I'm so moody these few days, i 'ter'messed up everything with everybody around me. I decided to take a rest...extreme rest. 1 whole day lying in bed, ya. lie-down. I don't mean it but i have too. ..maybe i can read a book kan? hohoho! Sword of Shannara, lagi. or listen to the Eagles the whole day. :D siok bah.

Talking about The Eagles. I'm a fan moti..

I dig this from wikipedia.

The Eagles are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1971 by Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner.

With five number one singles and six number one albums, the Eagles were one of the most successful recording artists of the 1970s. At the end of the 20th century, two of their albums, Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975) and Hotel California, ranked among the 20 best-selling albums in the U.S. according to the Recording Industry Association of America. Hotel California is ranked 37th in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and the band was ranked #75 on the magazine's 2004 list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.^[1] They also had the best selling album in the U.S. with Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975).

The Eagles broke up in 1980, but reunited in 1994 for Hell Freezes Over, a mix of live and new studio tracks. They have toured intermittently since then, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. In 2007, Eagles released Long Road out of Eden, their first full studio album in 28 years. The next year they launched The Long Road out of Eden Tour in support of the album. The tour continued on into 2009, crossing North America and Europe, and will continue in 2010 with additional North American tour dates.

2010-03-19T06:42:00.003+08:00

When I first met you
I had no idea that I would ever
Love you the way I do

*dear blog, sometimes i wish we had 48 hours a day to spend.

Sunrise

2010-03-10T20:46:00.004+08:00

O rising Sun, so fair and gay,
What are you bringing me, I pray,
Of sorrow or of joy to-day?

You look as if you meant to please,
Reclining in your gorgeous ease
Behind the bare-branched apple-trees.

The world is rich and bright, as though
The pillows where your head is low
Had lit the fields of driven snow.

The hoar-frost on the window turns
Into a wood of giant ferns
Where some great conflagration burns.

And all my children comes again
As lightsome and as free from stain
As those frost-pictures on the pane.

I would that I could mount on high
And meet you, Sun--that you and I
Had to ourselves the whole wide sky.

But here my poor soul has to stay,
So tell me, rising Sun, I pray,
What are you bringing me to-day?

What shall this busy brain have thought,
What shall these hands and feet have wrought,
What sorrows shall the hours have brought,

Before thy brilliant course is run,
Before this new-born day is done,
Before you set, O rising Sun?

Frederick George Scott

Rest in Peace..

2010-03-07T21:28:00.002+08:00

Life is but a Stopping Place
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord

Welcome to Kiram's Village :)

2010-02-24T13:30:00.023+08:00

Kiram's Village Cabin

The long CNY holidays bring us here. Been reading through Donna’s post about it and were so excited. Situated just before the Mount Kinabalu Golf Club entrance, road to Mesilau Resort. Cute wooden cabins, from Onion to Cabbage. (and glad I am a vege lover. :D)

We stayed at Onion room the first day and it was raining on and off. But anyway, I can’t really remember how it feels because I sleep like Princess Dayana! :P,
ya bah.. 6:30pm and wake-up at 6:00am. I missed our first day sunrise though..

Cabbage Cabin the second night. The Cabbage cabin views are excellent, our bed (main bed) are facing the mountain and if i turn to right side, i can witness the beauty of pine tree silhouette together with stray of lights during sunrise. And slowly see the mountain painted with red sunrise color. I see eagle landed to rest at the pine tree but didn’t manage to captured the scene. Yup, without coming out from the thick blanket. Cantikkkk I tell you!
The compound also planted with variety of flowers, with a lot of bee and butterfly, which i love so much, to practice macro. ;)

Aiseymen, macam di old fashion Mills & Boon story la ba konon. :D. By the way, lucky you I’m strong enough to challenge the cold morning to give you the idea how beautiful it is. (a.k.a sabahan version= kasi dangki2 hehehe)

Life in me

2010-02-20T21:44:00.007+08:00

Buang pi laut la blog kau tu kalau tida kasi update! :P

I didn’t join the Family Reunion meeting today. Sei lorr! Kana marah la sia ni. My house chores not yet finish. Have to lipat kain yang bertimbun from last week outing lagi. Kerja yang sia paling malas buat. Then post photo. Read blog. Check my Fb, check my flickr. Check my bid. Read my just-bought mag @flea market st SESB karamunsing compound. Kadapatan lagi oleh si hub.

”Buat apa la ko tu banyak2? Dirumah pun bertimbun?”

“Murah bah, satu ringgit saja” :P

“Angkat Sendiri”

Tukang jual pun senyum2 kambing tingu sia.

Hehehe I bought 6.

Hohoho so many things to do, so little time. Connection pun sot-sot.

Different story.

I met Dr Phanin (heart specialist at QEH) today, and advise me to take first step on my heartbeat, to see GP, which according to him, it’s abnormal. Aiyyooo..it scare me. What if? palis2!!

“What you eat is very important”

“Cut down oily food, meat, condensed milk “

“no KFC, Mcdonald, Burger King”

“Eat more fruit, vege..”

“Light Exersise”

Which means, I’M GETTING OLD! Err junior old. :P

That’s the half an hour morning lecture from Dr Phanin. Dr Raj belum masuk campur lagi tu.

Different story again.

Last weekend, my sisters and I went to our regular bargain hunting.

(Kak Akis belanja makan, and I just learn that kadai Cina will mark up their food price (double lagi tu) during CNY)

Don’t know how this conversation started.

Me, Kak Langgou & Kak Akis : ..bla..bla..bla..

Trus sampai this conversation.

Kak Langgou : Kalau sia mati, masa funeral, sia mau ada karaoke. Trus sia mau lagu ‘would you know my name..if I saw you in heaven’, tapi sia mau si Martha Ginun yang nyanyi. Nda kisah la kalau dia tua suda time tu. Asal buli nyanyi.

hahaha

Kak Akis : Kalau sia mati, tujuh hari kamu misti hantar kuih bulan yang sana Manggatal pi Kuburan sia. Misti tau. Sia tau tu.

hahhaha

Kak Langgou: Kau Dol?

Me: Mmmm…kalau sia, masa funeral, semua girl pakai dress putih (to be specific, yg ada bulu2 tu).

Kak Akis : Ala…macam mana mau masak la?

Me: Aik , masa tu ada bah kono kana cater tukang masak.

Kak Akis : o ya kan..

Kak Akis : Buddduh!!

Hahahah

"Live and work but do not forget to play, to have fun in life and really enjoy it."

..but watch out what you eat. (kaadii dokutur boh)

Enjoy your weekend! :)

Have a nice Weekend!

Blackpepper Fish with Pineapple

2010-01-12T20:15:00.010+08:00

I loveee cooking.

Makan Luar is quite expensive nowadays. And sometimes the taste you get was far beyond what you pay. Furthermore, you save a lot! So i can buy the little tiny thing, STATIONARY especially. :P

Weekend is the best day to experiment and try all those sadap-sadap food. ;)
For those of you, aiyyaaa jangan malas-malas. Nanti mentua cakap belakang. :P

Nah try this. Very simple bah...
Recipe hantam-hantam.
~~~~~

Once (or twice) a month on Sunday, i will wakeup as early as 4am (hub & Hayden is my great accompany. :D) Yup, just to get fresh fish from our pasar Safma. Whatever fish u want, you get it from here which normal pasar don't (or not enough supply maybe).

So, adik-adik.. this is ikan bilis fillet.

First and foremost cleaned and remove the bone.
How to remove?
Ala...sia tau la kamu malas. Buat saja. Gerenti menantu terbaik ;)

Next, coat the fillet with flour. The trick, use flour Self Raising Flour. For more crispier.
Next guring. Ya, macam guring ikan.

After you finished guring all, buat ini.. the sauce.

Tumis this red onion, garlic and thinly sliced ginger.

Then, sanang ja, add this, secret recipe. (hide this when your mentua come. hehehe)

*prepared your pineapple by slicing and boiled it with tumeric.

Arrange your fish in a place and pour the black pepper sauce to the fish. Wala!
* itu green vege untuk bunga-bunga bai tu!

Try tau! Any fish will do bah...

The kasian Hayden

You have a better idea? Suggest to me.

Live telecast, with the ON & OFF sound. I thought it was our tv problem at first. Can somebody explain ?

Then, guess what, i watched till the end of the show! (coz most of the time whenever watching tv, Tv watch me. ha!)

Then while watching the show, i was

"ooo...dia pula yang nyanyi ni..."
"aii buruknya dia nyanyi live"
"geezzzz pakai tudung pula si Yuna ni" I like her song but never seen the singer(sot kan)
"uiiyooo hebat"
"macam Micheal Jackson oo, tapi napa tu nokimpo?"
"Aiyooo pitching lari la kawan"
"aiyaaa, the big screen bg kacau la, cannot see"

....hahaha! i wish i have somebody to talk to on that time! :D

Anyway, congrats to the winner.

Another phase of life

2009-12-22T08:56:00.011+08:00

Aduiii naa!!! welcome to my blog and terribly sorry for this blog layout. I was playing around with the html thingy and see la what happen. I will fix that later btw. I got to study first very very the much. :)
Today i attended a funeral. My eldest sis's Mom-In-Law who passed away yesterday, aged 85.

Backdated.When i was still in primary school, i used to spend some of my school holiday in my sister's house in Penampang where she stayed next to her MIL house (my niece+nephew called her Nani then i follow-follow la.).
What i can remember is,She rare pigs (in a fence area). She used to have a gardener or somebody in-charge to look after the pigs, the funny part, me plus my nephew+niece like to takeover the bathing time job. We used a hose and sprayed the whole body (from outside the fence of course, because some of them bigger than our size that time). I still can remember the cute pink piggy while taking bath especially the kakangs. And the best part, we were paid end of the month, can't remember how much but we will spend habis all the money to buy king-kong...and we actually buy from her own Kadai Runcit. ;)

She had a very loud and strong voice. (can even beat witney houston..pitching habis-habisan!)

" JANGAN KAMURANG LUMPAT SANA!!!!!!!!!" ...when we're trying our superman skill, lumpat dari dapur, skipped the staircase. budu kan!

"JANGAN KAMU PIGI SANA DAKAT SUNGAI!!!!" ...when we trying to 'cuba-cuba' air sungai kono.

"JANGAN PIGI DAKAT ITU KALABAU!!!!" ..when we try to be friendly kono with that tied buffallo.

"JANGAN KAMU AMBIL ITU RAMBUTAN!!!!!" ....(dalam hati, "so luki juga") that was when we try to climb up the tall rambutan tree. Later, she send over a tonnes of rambutans to the house. (then tarik balik tu dalam hati) :)

"NOMBO NO TOTOK NU!!!????" ....when she was talking to another friend from the her house to the other side of the road, and we were " huh? Nani cakap kutur o." :P Tau-tau Totok means paddy for seedling. hihi...

...and still can remember her malay, pekat-pekat lagi the Tangara slank.

food? what i manage to get some idea was, cha kui (or chakeuh?) Slice it and put inside chicken porridge. ( that time, regarding to her, this is the only food she can eat when shes sick) ...Doiii punya sadap i tell u. And i still did to my own porridge till now. ;) o lots of thing actually, but recalling this make me miss my mum so much.

*********

some of the photos which i manage to take~ using my dear phone.

also played the Dunsai, a type of gong rhythm for funeral

nearby resting place

To Nani's families,

She left before you
A place to prepare
In the shelter
Of our Lord's care
May this bring comfort
In the sorrow you bear

May her soul rest in peace.

Korean

2009-12-10T20:12:00.007+08:00

I was attending to a Korean lady yesterday and we were like "ayam VS itik". So, more hand signal involved. pointing here. pointing there. Terrible i tell you!! ..and i've been gone through this for quite some time now and I CAN'T STAND IT!!!

Another Korean lady, a very up-to-date lady. Every three months, she will go back to Korea and did face lift (which is cheap compare here- according to her la) , shopping. etc..etc.. she just started renovate her million worth of condo (and she got 3 !) Guess what? the interior was exactly the same as one famous Korean tv drama set. And she bought the whole original furniture and props which were used in that drama (sorry, forgot the title la). Shipment was on the way from Korea.

Yup, still about Korean. korean lady. i mean another korean lady. english speaking. Migrated here, humble, friendly, husband used hold a high position in Korean Government ( i korek the story after friend-friend with her la). What i like about her, she will talk about women, women's right, women's and drug..etc..etc..which is very informative and interesting. (She used to be a uni lecturer in Korea). The best thing is..

She gave me this today. A Christmas Gift. Tapi suda buka. ;)

So.... today..... i want to make a resolution. (i seldom bah had one! :P)

Learn foreign Language! I mean enroll classes. and must PASS (konon).

hehehe

Ok la. SERIUS ni.

hey, i learn Japanese before and got distinction bah. <--masuk bakul . . .

why korean? Got direct flight bah . and the facelift sounds good. ;) :P

"and sketch must ready before 31st."
" True or not orr?"
"Can bah if me :P"
"we'll see, we'll see"
"so what la my rough idea?"

"Maybe this. Most probably..."

"apa tu, kapit rambut?"
"ya, can be tranform bah this"
"ya meh?"
"you see arr..i transform"
"wait next year la"
.
