Dinner was fun that night though on a small scale, we managed to enjoy ourselves to the maximum. Some of us had not seen each other since graduation day. But most of us are in contact with each other due to work of course. Felt so good meeting old familiar faces and sweet memories of those were the days was the main topic of conversation then. Some came as far as from KK and Bintulu to join the reunion. Former lecturers graced the dinner. I will never forget all that you have done to us, Puan Lelawati (fondly known as Lah), Mdm Lucilla Abbey (can never forget her English classes which was full of tears & laughters), Mdm Pauline Achan and Mdm Pauline Jau (Shorthand and Trengkas). But I can never forget one of the typing classes that we had. Those days, we were using the Olympia & Olivetti typewriter for our typing lessons.

A few funny and hilarious incidents happened during the typing classes, halfway typing you may get one or two of your fingers caught between the keyboards, or you may have to change the ribbon and the best thing, as you get to go to the next line, don't be surprised if the upper part of the typewriter would just "fly" away much to our amusement then. "Those were the days my friend, we thought it never ends, we sing and dance......."

Bahasa Melano Balingian

-
My trip to Miri not only gave me the opportunity to reunite with old friends that I missed dearly but I also took the golden opportunity to learn more about my dad's language. My dad is a Melanau from Kpg Suyong, Balingian. Their melanau dialect differs from the rest of the Melanau dialects from Mukah, Oya, Rejang, Dalat, Matu, Igan & Bintulu. Sad to say that this particular dialect is slowly disappearing. Even my aunt Regina or fondly known as Usu Ina who is married to a melanau from Bintulu is at loss with her own Balingian dialect at times. So far, I've noticed that only my dad, my first cousins Lai & Kak Senah are still speaking this beautiful dialect fluently. Usu Ina converse mostly in the Mukah dialect and I observed that she would refer to Lai if she was not sure of the language itself. My dad and his siblings back in Balingian still converse in their own dialect but once they are out of their kampung, they would converse in the Mukah dialect again. Mmmmmmmmmmm.

Finally, I get to watch Ombak Rindu (OR) with friends last night. So here goes my review on the movie. 1) The scenery is simply fantastic and I just can’t help admiring the beautiful sceneries. It was indeed a sight to behold. So a beach-lover like me definitely enjoys and love all the beautiful sceneries. 2) Loved Hariz’s kampong house…byk modern facilities tapi nang kacaklah rumah ya.. 3) Dari mula sampei abis filem ya, the kitten doesn’t seem to grow up....go figure that out!!!…. 4) As expected some of my favourite scene in the novel was scrapped off especially bab Hariz n Izzah, there are quite a few intimate scenes (those who’ve read the novel knows, yang belum baca, sila beli dan baca k);I guess writer/director chose not to put those in the movies for sensitivity reasons and I think AA would want to think twice before acting certain scenes especially some intimate scenes with MK. 5) The OST was simply superb and the duet song by Hafiz AF7 and Adira AF8 complemented

Thoughts and rambles

It's been a while since my last posting.   Year in year out, I think I have such a boring life.  Initially, when I started this blog, I wanted to be a food blogger and sharing my passion for cooking and baking.  Before the existence of FB, blogging was the thing then.  I thought of trying to be one and yes, the first few years of blogging I was actively blogging, practically about everything. And then some turn in my life affected me so much that I began to drift away for a while.  Pic credit to Google.
