Punya lama sia xda update.

Posted in Life before University!, Uncategorized on June 30, 2008 by LoLo

Yeah, it’s been quite a while since I last post excluding the youtube video post. For your information, I have been trying to post an update. Each time I attempt to type out something, I end up closing the tab and continued surfing the net. Why? Ntah. Ada ja. No mood, and no stories I want to share. But whatever it is, I think I’ve gotten over all that and now I think I’ll try to make this one work and not click the close tab before I finish publishing this post. GO ME!

So many things have been happening. So, let me break it down like this( Somehow I’m into the hip hop groove now)

1. Recording some songs (*√*)

Yeah! I recorded some songs, using my camera. I bet some of you have visited the Youtube link I posted previously. So far, I covered about 5 songs. Haha. The ones that I have told my friends about are Empty(The Click Five), Bye bye( Mariah Carey) and Ku dapat dari mama(Will.i.am Malay version [Lolo's translation]). Might I say these songs are all nice (mati la vain abis! haha) but my favourite is definitely Ku dapat dari mama. It’s just too funny to be taken seriously I guess. haha. Here’s the track. Play it! you’ll love it. If it’s slow loading, just start and pause it first when it has finished buffering, Have fuN! Haha.

If anybody wants the lyrics, I will post them upon request. Hehe. Bagus kalau ada urang mau pun. Anyway, I will record more songs. Hopefully. Hehe.

2. Tadau Kaamatan Sinakagon O&M

Okay. This was about a week ago. I was reluctant in going to this occasion. I am not used to this family of O&M( I am somehow in this family tree) and the fact that nobody close to me from my family went (this include Aunty Lydia, Cousin Enie and Ayo and, Mummy Ian and Kak Doreen) except my Mummy, Daddy and my lil’ sis, don’t help at all. My uncle asked me to come to accept prize for scoring 7As in my SPM. I thought of many excuses so that I won’t have to go. But my lil’ sis was participating in the Unduk Ndagau Kinomulok(beauty contest yang tuk budak kecik) and so I decided to join anyway to support her. I’m a good brother ba despite all the bullying and fights. Haha. I thought she looked cute in the baju kadazan. here’s some pictures.

My lil sis trying to smile. Haha.

another shot. not a good one oso.

She got 2nd place.

pose.pose.pose.

Anyway, I got RM50 for the prize. At least ada la. haha. I thought it would be like Rm500 or something. Haha. Selfish thoughts.

3. My new Psp.
Actually, it’s not that new. It’s actually a second hand PsP. haha.

metallic blue.

It looks cool kan, coz the color is metallic blue. ah. i like it. Haha. This is a PSP slim in case you dunno.

4. People are leaving!
Haitz, so here we go again. I hate to say it over and over again but that’s how it is. I hate to see people go. I know soon I’ll be the one going but for now I can’t stand this feeling. My sister registered at UMS last Saturday and Zeff already left for his University. Some of the BATB is at Uitm and soon Hakim’ll leave. Then, Iqbal will fly. Macam sia ja nda pandai lari² ni. Haha. Oh yeah, you too Anthea. Lama lagi u gonna fly kan. Haha. Haitz. Anyway, BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF YOU.

Ba, I think cukuplah ini dulu. Sebelum sia click close tab, better I publish this. Hehe. Take a look at my Empty video please. Haha. Thanks for reading this post no matter how boring it is. =)

I sing Empty!

1borneo! (long post)

Posted in Life before University! on June 14, 2008 by LoLo

Kopivosian Mikot id 1Borneo

To those who never been to 1borneo before, this very picture above is the entrance to the big hyper mall. It might look ancient or kuno to you, but this cave does lead to the new shopping haven for Sabahan! NOT. Haha. This is actually the cultural center there. Haha. We just find it funny and I decided to use this as my pendahuluan. erm. intro. Hahaha.

When we just pass the Kepayan 4-road junction on the highway, Hakim suddenly called me asking where I was and told me that his father would bring us to 1borneo. I told him 5-minute I’ll be there because I know my dad could reach Centre Point in just 5 minutes. After he hang up, my mum asked me who was that and I answered “Hakim. Daddy dia yang bawa kami pi sana. Sia cakap 5 minit lagi kita sampai sana”. My mum interrupt me “Hantar mummy dulu sana church. Mummy mau pi tingu funeral” Immediately I thought “Mati la ni”. Haha. I messaged Zeff and he also was on the way. Haha. He said he too was at tg.aru at that moment. After dropping my Mummy off in front off the church, we made our way to Center Point.

About 5 minutes later, I got down from my daddy’s car and I rushed towards Hakim’s car and knocked on the window. As soon as I got in the car, Hakim’s father said “Very good ah your timing”. Aiya. Haha. Bukan sengaja ba uncle. Haitz. Haha. Anyway, Zeff was late too. Haha. Sempat lagi dia beli magazines. After everyone was there, we made our way to our destination. Hehe. Along the way, Hakim’s father interrogated us. Haha. No la. He was asking us about our education. Zeff yang banyak kena tanya. Haha.

Reaching 1borneo, Hakim’s dad parked his Waja at the parking basement and we all went out and there it was. I was awed, I was inspired, I was speechless. Actually, I did say some stuffs like “Wahh! Macam KL!”. I was totally like the rusa masuk kampung. Zeff and Hakim were telling me what this was and that was. Anyway, we walked and walked and Hakim told me we are headed to buy his laptop first. Along the Way, I saw this :

WELCOME!

I said to myself “Ahh.. Thank you for saying that..”. Haha. As you can see, Hakim is behind his father in this picture. Anyway, we went to Sen Q but the store was not opened yet so Hakim’s father brought us to the Food Court there and ate dim sum. Hakim was the one who was excited to eat dim sum and he did all the picking. Hehe. We got juices for drinks and Zeff ordered Milo Ping ja. Haha.

Dim Sum! Ambek Ko!

To tell you the truth, I did not really enjoyed the dim sum except for a few. hehe. I like the non-halal one at Foo Phing Damai better. Haha. Their Somais are the best! Anyway, we ate and ate and even ordered another trip of dim sum! hehe. After finishing the meal, Hakim arranged the baskets and plates before we left. Mau juga ba. Haha. We walked all the way back to Sen Q and Hakim began asking about the laptop he wanted while his father watch him talk to that salesman. I browse around the shop and met up with Gordon(cousin Keith) with his family I think. Hehe. Makin sihat ni budak. Anyway, Hakim sealed the deal with the laptop issue and while his father settled the payment, I saw this camera and a phrase caught my eyes :

YouTube Capture Mode?! WAHH

Youtube Capture Mode. Wahh! Bagus nya. At first I didn’t get it but after Hakim and the salesgirl explained a bit, I got the picture. I want this camera! Haha. Anyway, Hakim got his laptop and even got free hairdryer. Doi. Haha. After that, Hakim’s father took off and me, Zeff, and Hakim was set to browse the Mall. More people were filling the mall and it finally looked like a mall to me. Haha. We walked and walked and saw many stores and it hit us suddenly. “Ada para2 ka di sini ni?”. And so we were on this quest to find the Para2 machine. We went into Boo Boo Land and saw many kids in there playing inside the boat and play land. Lucky them. Haha. Sadly, the was no Para2 machine to be seen. Alaaaa!!

basar jua kan?

Anyway, we got out of the store and went to Golden Screen Cinema (GSC) and bought tickets to see Kung Fu Panda. It was only 12 something at that time and the show starts at 2.15. Punya lama lagi! So we continued browsing the Mall (seriously, I was getting bored of passing through the same stores over and over again). Haha. Indeed, there are so many branded stores here. The next time I’m going here, I’ll be shopping like crazy. Body Gloves, QuikSilver, Adidas, Puma, Island Shop, Hang Ten, Esprit, and FCUK just to name a few, will be my shopping paradise soon.

After some serious walking around like crazy, even shuffling sekejap to the music, aha, yeah!, we decide that we need to sit down and rest our sore asses and feet on some seats. So i suggested that we go find some ice-cream outlet and have ice-cream before the movie. Once again, we pusing-pusing the Mall, bikin panas ni. There were NO ice cream outlet. Paling2 pun Mcd ja. Ish. Haha. Anyway, time pusing2 tu, look at what our friend found here. His HOME!

Home Sweet China Home!

After this home trip, we agreed that we’re gonna have some donuts and just hang out there until we’re ready to go for the movie. So here we are.

Big Apple here we come!

After ordering the Donuts, we sat down(like finally!!) and I got a look at Hakim’s iPod touch and thank God i brought my mp3 player and I plugged in my earphones into his iPod. While I was busy singing some All American Rejects tune, Hakim and Zeff were busy speaking French. Adui. Haha. Mentang2 dua2 mau leave Malaysia next year. Haha. Ba2. Lupakan Malaysia. Haha. Here’s two other pictures that we took.

That's not my hand and.. WHO BIT THE PINK DONUT?

Mouse over for Caption.

He did it! No! He did it! .. The answer lies on the skin's pigment!!

After about 45 minutes or was it 1 hour of sitting down, about 15 minutes before 2, we got out of the Big Apple and walked to find escalators to go up the 3rd floor (or was it the 4th floor) where the GSC is. Along the way (ada ja kan along the way saya ni. Haha.), we stopped by at this fashion show in the center of the Mall. Woo! ada ni model india, punya hooootttt! Hakim suka yang macam patung tu. Haha. And maybe some of the guys as well. Haha. I thought I took about 4 pictures but my camera got this picture only. Aiya.

Strut your STUFFS girls!

Aik. Ada ba pula lagi. Haha. Sia salah taruh nama. Anyway, enjoy!

she's not in the pink shirt!

Hotness! haha. One more picture below of her!

*drool....*

Something about her suggest that she have this exotic and erotic beauty to her.Wahh! statement tu. Haha. Anyway, the catwalk and fashion show, we hurried off to GSC because there was only 15 minutes left and we haven’t emptied the bladder and buy popcorn. Haha. We did that and met up with Nadiah Najlaa. Said hi to her. After buying popcorns, we rushed into the cinema 2 and before entering the cinema, Hakim sempat lagi teriak something to like spoil somebody’s movie day. Haha.

We entered the cinema and wow! Spacious! Tu bru time berdiri. Satu kali duduk, woah! comfort! and the chair is kinda selanting! I just realised sepanjang movie tu, pantat sia nda panas! haha. That’s how comfy it was. Haha. Oh yeah, the movie was FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!! gila eh! cute ni suma character. I think I balik2 cakap Cute time tu movie, especially whenever ada babi when on screen! Haha. Cute oh kan babi!. macam Monokorobu!

After the movie ended, we went down to the ground floor and decides that we were tired already and we asked some security guard on where to get tickets for the shuttle bus. We went to the info center and got ourselves 3 ticket that looks like this:

Shuttle Service.. Free!

Free lagi tu. Haha. So, we went back outside and we did just that. Waited and waited for the bus to come at 4.00pm. Nda jua datang2. After about 15 minutes, I saw a green vehicle coming along and finally breathed out a relief breath. Haha. We boarded the bus and had to kinda rebut place with aunty2 and achai2 and some amoi2. Haha. I sat with Zeff while Hakim sat at the back with bini urang. Haha. Anyway, here’s the last two pictures we took.

Hell Yeah! GSC rox!

Here’s a picture of me and Zeff. tired but Happy. I think. Haha.

Hell Yeah! Dim Sum rox!

Half muka pun Half la. Haha. I look good as usual. haha. photogenic ba muka sia ni. Haha. Teda2 ba.

Anyway, the bus ride was nice. The bus was clean (baru la katakan) and there were air cond and tv. okla tu. Haha. After reaching Warisan Square, we said goodbye to Hakim and Me and Zeff went in search for the toilet. Mati la warisan teda toilet ba. Haha. Eventually, we found one. Itu pun mau bayar 50sen. Ada free tissue lagi ba. Bukan sia mau birak. Ish. Haha. Anyway, after the bladder was emptied again, we headed back to Big Apple (yes, we want more!) and bought more donuts! Haha. I got 3 for myself. Zeff bought 6 for his family. Baiknya. Haha. After that, we split up as I was getting picked up at Api2. i met up with Jesper Ezer there and said Hi. Hehe. After that, My daddt picked me up. So. That was the end of my hectic day!

Pendek Kata, I HAD A BLAST! now I’m kinda tired but still, I like how the day turned out! Hehe. Zeff and Hakim, I’m glad that I got to experienced 1Borneo with you guys! Haha. So, til next time, c.h.o.w!

Please comment if you enjoyed your read. Haha.

Big Mac or Mega Mac?

Posted in Life before University! on June 13, 2008 by LoLo

Tomorrow, I’ll be heading out to 1Borneo with Zeff and Hakim. Hopefully, we will get there safe and sound. We have this silly idea of going there by bus as going there by car would eat up a lot of money and petrol. This silly idea finally settled in our minds and we’ll make it happen tomorrow. Haha. Terkejut sia si Zeff suggest naik bus tu hari. Hehe. Anyway, I wanna see Kung Fu Panda!!! I hope I’d get the chance to watch it tomorrow at the GSC there.

Oh yeah, I’m getting myself a PSP soon! But, 2nd hand punya la. But, what the heck, it’s still a PSP. My cousin’s friend is selling. Through my cousin’s mouth, I think I can safely say that the PSP will still be in good shape as I this person who’s selling buys new stuff and when he gets bored with it, he goes out to sell it. Hehe. My cousin have also bought a PSP from this guy and his PSP looked new. Hehe. Yeah!

Oh yeah, Holland Vs France. Kalah la France. Mati ko Bal!. haha. I’ll win the bet and get a Mega Mac! Woo Hoo!

Just rambling around here. Nothing much to write further. So I’ll end it here. I’ll be bringing my camera to 1Borneo tomorrow and take pictures there. Haha. Sakai la bilang. Lama sia nda guna tu Camera. Hehe. Be posting tomorrow! C.h.o.w. 4. n.o.w.!.

Terkenang balik ba..

Posted in Life before University!, Uncategorized on June 10, 2008 by LoLo

On the way back from Rasa Ria, I found myself listening to some songs that manage to bring up a nostalgic feeling and suddenly i entered slumber land and I was there again. On a journey to eternity. No, seriously. Everything was just as it was 2 years ago. It was during my scout expedition, and my dream started rolling like a film without sound but I didn’t see it from BP house, but at a pit stop we made at Kg.Ketiau. We were asking for water and permission to cook in front of a family of strangers’ house. They were kind enough to give us some water to cook rice. Wah. I remember the scene where we cleaned the area because when we got there, we got so hungry that we decided to cook under any circumstances and there was pure dog shit there and that didn’t stop us from cooking and eating there.

Oh, sorry. Most of you probably don’t know this. I’m a former scout. I was on the expedition as a requirement to be a King Scout which I was so ecstatic about before. Anyway, aside from me, Diniy, Iqbal, Hamka, Rayvincent, Peter, Leander, Azirul and the only girl on our team, Samantha were on the expedition as well. Peter was assigned as the group leader and we all agreed to that. Leander was a Form Five student(at that time), but we all know him through scout. Hehe.

L-R : Iqbal, Leander, Hamka, Peter, Sam, Ray, Me, Diniy

L-R : Hamka, Iqbal, Azirul, Peter, Leander, Diniy, Sam, Me

So, after having our lunch at that Ketiau place (I make it sound so foreign, padahal I live near this area. Haha), we continued our journey, with heavy bag pack on our back and with bloated stomach we moved like heavy pigs just wanting to sleep for the day. We had AMAZING team spirit. When one of us feels like stopping, the others will motivate him. When one of us walked at the back of the pack to take a slow walk, the others would go behind to walk along with him. At least that is how I see it. I had my painful moments during the expedition and decides to walk at the back of the pack and each time that happen, I got closer to my friends. Love that moment til death.

Anyway, after a long and tiring( these two words are still an understatement) journey, we almost reached our destination for the night and decides to stop by at a bus stop near St. Michael Church. All of us were drained out of our energy and were physically powerless. Everyone took a nap and when we got up, Ray was confronted by these 3 drunken man. I was still in state of daze when I saw what happen. Iqbal was holding out his tongkat. Sam was holding onto me, very scared, understandably. I was shocked and instantly snapped out of the slumber and saw Ray was shouting “Tolong, Tolong”. God, I was in pain just hearing him scream out like that. When the drunken dudes took Iqbal’s tongkat, that’s when I felt numbed and scared. Ray was limping towards me and Sam, with the drunken doofused right behind him. Ray was bleeding profusely from his head and his blood dripped into my hands. I was so traumatized by then and when one of the drunk man approach me, he shouted “Siapa lagi brani mo lawan?!”, that’s when Iqbal started running away, he even yelled “Lari!” or was it “Cabut”. I ran right behind him leaving Ray, and Sam behind. Damn. If that moment happen again, I definitely wouldn’t run away again. I REGRET EVERY SINGLE STEP I TOOK WHEN I RAN. damn it.

Anyway, while I was running, Azirul, Diniy, Hamka, Iqbal were running as well, we split direction (unintentionally) and I ended up being inside the house behind the bus stop with Azirul. I remembered feeling so sorry and helpless. I can hear Ray scream. Me and Azirul were so angry at ourselves that we selfishly left out Sam and Ray. I feel so guilty for that. FYI, the house owner let us in and they hold the gates because the drunken man was chasing us. We went upstairs of this house and from the window, we could see that Ray was already in front of the house, bloodied and seemed very defeated. It was a disturbing scene. That person is my best friend but I left him and looking at him at that state made me feel so stupid. I quickly went down and suddenly came a face that made me and Azirul felt relieved. It was Teacher Surilla. Yeah, it was like a moment where you cry and your mother comes to comfort you. That’s what I felt.

Teacher Surilla asked us if we were okay and we immediately asked her about Sam and the others. She said the others are okay so we were all relieved. Police and ambulance came by the way. I went and talked to Ray. It was like seeing a Priest during a confession session. You just wanna pour out your sins to the priest. I just told Ray sorry I think. Then, Ray was off to the hospital and I went to the Police Station with Teacher Surilla and Azirul. She made the report and we gazed into the eyes of the drunken men before heading to Teacher’s house. There, we met up with the others, looking just as scared as us, Hamka was the one I think who looked really bumped out and sad and he was not talking that night. The rest of us talked about how sorry we was and how stupid we were. Sam was safe and sound. Thank God for that. After that, we all went into Teacher Surilla’s mum’s van and made our way to BP house to saty the night.

We all took bath and sleep there and Teacher Surilla said there was no need to call our parents that night because it was already 1pm or something. So, we slept and the next morning Ray was messaging me. He was okay with some stitches. When his father finally came with him to BP house, we all went face-to-face with him and we all said our sorry to him.

Damn it. Why did it had to end with that incident? but then again, it was a lesson that made us learn so much about our friendship, ourselves and our leader. All that journey taught me so much about how to be a good supporter, how to be a listener and how to be a good observer. Speaking of observing, along the way, we were awed by so many sceneries. I’ll never forget that scene where we cooked at Ketiau, sit at the Log just past Ketiau, running uphill while it was raining to find a shelter, that Lonely road that didn’t have any lights, the beautiful scenery when we sit by the road to rest, the many bus stops that we rested upon and all the smiles and sighes we had along the way.

That expedition will never burn in my memory. It’ll live forever.
Thanks Diniy, Ray, Peter, Sam, Iqbal, Hamka, Azirul and Leander for being part of this incredible journey!

Enjoy the pix.

P/s: I know it sounds a bit like Goodbye Boys but I guess we can say we had our own story to tell =)

Sadly, I only took this many pix I got more but maybe that one’ll go into my Flickr soon. Anyway, check back soon for updates and thank you for reading!

Excited for tomorrow!

Posted in Life before University! on June 5, 2008 by LoLo

I’ve been reading a lot of blogs lately, but I really am addicted to my sister’s friend’s blog. If you don’t know by now, surely you don’t know that I am the one who will tell you all the unnecessary experiences I had every time I start conversing with anybody. I guess I can’t control it. Hehe. I am however a bit bumped out because I always end up leaving people bored and their ‘priceless’ bored expressions and reactions are just depressing sometimes. Anyway, I hate the fact that I can’t blog the way I want to. I envy people who blog with ease and when you read their blog, you actually ENJOY what you just read and it’s so much better when you have an urge to give feedback to their post.

Anthea! I love the way you blog. It annoys me when you know just which word to bold or capitalize and what colour stress the word best! Hehe. Saja ja bagi example.

So, I’ll be heading to Rasa Ria at Tuaran tomorrow and will stay the night there. Yay! My daddy got a complimentary room and the whole family will be going!. I hope, and pray, that we will stop by at One Borneo. I wanna go to the McDonald’s restaurant there. Don’t get me wrong. I know some of you might be saying “Budu, Mcd ada di KK mau jua dia pigi jauh2 sana one borneo ba”. Well, as a former Mcd crew, I am aware that I ‘m being like a McDonald’s addict. Lol. No la, I’m just curious and my cousin said the food there is HEAVEN. I think it’s safe to say that Mcd di KK paled in comparison to Mcd di OBM. =þ

Damn it, I have one month to go before I leave KK, and HOPEFULLY be back during Christmas time. I don’t wanna be singing I’ll be home for Christmas”. No! That’s just sad. I’m so excited to be meeting new people over there. I hope the place is nice and I hope I won’t be sexually harrassed. WhAT?! Haha. No la, I’m hoping for the best that there won’t be any person over there that is like Hakim. Hakim, you’re smart, but you gross me out sometimes. Haha.

Yesterday was fun. I watched A Walk To Remember again, and It was SO NOT GAY aiman. Suma la gay ba kalo ko. Anyway, after the movie, my cousin sms-ed me to come to her house to Karaoke. It was raining even before we start singing (it usually start raining immediately when we start singing. Haha. Katak.) After singing about 4 songs, the weather got worse. Thunders and lightnings came along but we decided to go on. Even my uncle warned us about the lightning and asked us to stop. Being a true singer at heart people, my cousin and I said “Last Disc, Last Disc suda ni”. Then, shockingly, the next thing that happened to us was ELECTRIFYING. Haha. Literally. Try reading that sentence again. Lol. Haha. My cousin was belting a tune and she dropped the microphone at exactly the same instance the lightning struck outside. She was shouting and jumping in pain. I can’t help but laugh at her and I was lucky to be sms-ing at that time so the mic was out of hand. Haha.

Oh yeah, I’m thankful that my Aunty didn’t had miscarriage. That would be so devastating to the family. I’ll pray for her safety and health and for the safe growth of the baby.

Hmmm, it seems that I’m all out of updates. Hey, I just wanna state here how I really miss my friends here. I’ll be posting pictures and updates about how my day went at Rasa Ria tomorrow soon.

P/s: Meline, update your blog cepat-cepat kio. Haha. And I put your blog inside my BlogRoll already.

My favourite post from my Vox blog.

Posted in Life before University! on June 2, 2008 by LoLo

Taken from : http://deepinsights.vox.com Date : 17th of November 2006 Time : 9:53a.m.

Well, I grew up nurtured and nannied by my grandparents every time my parents go to work. My grandparents didn’t just have to deal with me alone, but many more of my cousins. My grandmother was a loving soul and a maternal figure to me. And she still is. My grandfather was a strict and hot-tempered man yet he had a different way to show his loving side to all of us. At times, he would slash us with the handle of the feather duster if we’re naughty, and at times he would sit me up at his laps and he make us laugh and he would hug me as tight as he can. My eyes are tearing up here. I miss that moment so much.

My grandfather is a figure I would always respect. He is somebody that I loved so much yet I don’t know why I didn’t even shed a tear when he passed away four years ago today. I miss the way he said “Buduh!”, I miss the way he look irately at my neighbour (who happens to be his cousin), I miss the way he ask me to teach him how to pray, I miss the way he walk with his white shirt and short blue pants. I miss the way he treated stray dogs at his compound, I miss all the advice he gave me. I especially miss the way he would hold my hands and guide me playing the Kulintangan (I’m really good at it now, Thanks to him).

I hate it when he said “Pigilah kamurang di sana(we were about to go traveling), nanti kamu balik sia teda sudah di sini”. But he was still smiling at us when we were back. I guess he was ready to go. He seemed so calm and collected after he became a Christian. He kept a Jin at the house and “piara” or as the proper language would suggest “pelihara”. But after became a Christian, the Genie was released.

Months before he passed, he was working hard. He actually made chairs; tables and he fixed some stuff that we’re still using now at his house. But the thing that I am most regretful of is a Project he and I were working on. He found some bamboo around the house and constructed a Star of David candle star, which was to be hung during Christmas. His exact words were “Boy, Kita buat ni untuk krismas kio, ko tulung bili kertas saja mau lekat di ni bambu barulah kita pasang tu dian di sana. Trus kita gantung lawa nodi.” But I didn’t bought the paper. It’s not that I don’t want to but I didn’t knew which paper was to be used. My parents wouldn’t help me at the time because it was a special project between me and my grandpa.

After he passed I was determined to finish up the project. I asked my uncle to buy the papers and we finally hung it during Christmas. But our Christmas wasn’t the same no more without him. There was no more scene of heart-wrenching moment like Him kissing my Grandma at her forehead and cheeks. No more of his speeches during our Christmas Celebration. Anyway, every year before Christmas week began, I would go replace the paper on the Star of David and made it looked new. We enhanced the Star of David by attaching Christmas running lights on it. It look majestic at night. I will take a picture of it when it is hung next month.

Pa, I miss you so much!

Pa, Kotohuadun kumaa diau tu iziau no ii songuhun duvo zii ama ii nokointong ku mambasal. Au ku hivaai matii ngaavi jasa nu kumaa dogo. Hangadon zu banal iziau. Hangadon babanar. Awal nu nokoodop Pa, nga ahansan da

huu id syurga do tampat nu dii baino konii.

Oh my Jesus, save us from the fire of hell, Lead all souls to Heaven especially those who are most in need of your mercy”.
