how planes fly

salam jumaat!

have you ever wondered how planes fly? of how each part of the plane has its own function that enables a big metal bird to defy gravity?
you could scrutinize the following photo below and try to figure out what those technical terms actually mean:

or, if the above is just too mind-boggling for your brain, you can skip the boring parts and just think of it this way:
(i for one like to think of it this way haha)

the whole election debacle

of course, eyes of every nation was on the presidential election yesterday.

why so serious haha

anyways, below images i took from the Star online. thought it might be useful. despite my love for reading, i never excelled in History, the one subject that needs alot of reading (and understanding, most of which i couldn't brain haih).

and here's some interesting trivia on the future President of America. lol. my only kagumness is that for an American who's constantly in the limelight, he doesn't drink and smoke. here's to America!

grill and bake

today is grill and bake day. the meat, i grilled. the fish, i baked.

verdict? i will always love my salmon raw. haha.

i followed the recipe on coldstoragemy's instagram for the salmon dish. it looked pretty easy to make: wrap everything with foil, add seasoning and bake for 20 minutes. only Dinara was brave enough to eat the salmon, and that's because she's a sushi lover. the kids didn't like the strong pesto taste, so i had to finish everything by myself.

the steak dish was for the husband, who complained that there was no bun and black pepper sauce just like at Coliseum #tukangmasaktakberbayar BUT he finished everything in 5 minutes flat, even i pun tak sempat nak merasa, chis. everything was thrown into the Happy Call grill. i don't know how Mashi leaves everything in the pan while she goes to mandi, i abandon my pan for 5 minutes and everything hangus. HAHAHAHA.

the kids preferred the steak dish (minus the side dishes haha) but unfortunately there wasn't enough to go around, whoops (because whenever i semangat nak masak they would have no semangat to eat, pfffft). my kids are potato freaks; the other half of the potato went into the kids' tummies. ok next time Mommy will make more, k?

Diwali henna partay

happy Deepavali! lol a bit late in wishing because the company is celebrating it today by holding a big Diwali lunch for its social club members (i is anti-social lol).

but i get to do hennat art! Xtina's daughter was specially invited to experiment on us =D. it isn't always you see Chinese interested in henna art. i didn't have any particular design in mind so i just told her to conteng whatever. i am in absolute awe of anyone who is able to draw freehand without requiring an eraser. this is organic henna, btw. the initial color is pale orange, but will darken in the next couple of days. very the cantik.

a friend of mine who wanted to be different that day requested for henna on the inside of his hands, lol. people say the hotter your blood, the darker the henna will be on your skin. ya kah?

True Colors

Anna Kendrick & Justin Timberlake

You with the sad eyes

Don't be discouraged

Oh I realize

It's hard to take courage

In a world full of people

You can lose sight of it all

And the darkness inside you

Can make you feel so small

Show me a smile then

Don't be unhappy

Can't remember when

I last saw you laughing

If this world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

You call me up

Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful

I'll see your true colors

Shining through

(True colors)

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful

Like a rainbow

Like a rainbow

Can't remember when

I last saw you laugh

If this world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

Just call me up

Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid

(Don't be afraid)

to let them show

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful

Like a rainbow

Like a rainbow

the barfing session begins

i am literally sleep deprived.

first, it was Dinara. she woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me that she barfed all over the bed.
then she was down with fever for two days before she slowly recovered.

Dayana was next. she also woke me up in the middle of the night to let me know she barfed all over my bathroom floor T____T. it was a miracle i didn't end up barfing myself as i hosed away all the mess.
she barfed again that night. and she came down with a fever that lasted 3 days because she refused to drink more water and when she did manage to swallow some food, she barfed it up all over again when she took her meds. sigh.

then it was Kakak Mini's turn. she told me she also barfed a couple of times in the middle of the night (is barfing a midnight thing or something..?). she doesn't believe in our conventional meds, choosing to go for the traditional urut badan instead. she deduces that badan masuk angin as the cause of everyone being sick.

luckily i was still up last night... it was 2am when i heard Emma coughing. i went to check on her only to find that she had barfed all over the floor -____- and just after i got her cleaned up, she pooped loose stools, so i had to clean her up for a second time @_@. i tried to get her to drink milk but she barfed all that up not too long afterwards, so i filled her bottle with water, of which i was relieved to see her finish.

bad luck for me she couldn't settle back to sleep properly so i was half-asleep half-awake the whole night trying to get her to la la land until before i knew it, it was time to wake up already, haiz.

so... we're having a barf party at our house, everyone! T___T

Pia? oh she's ok (for now) (touch 1000 available pieces of wood within reach), she only fell at the playground yesterday and scraped her knees. and spent a good hour howling about it too. hee~.

i'd like to think of it as the stomach flu, because all four of them ended up doing alot of vomiting, accompanied by a slight fever. the doctor i brought Dayana to see casually asked if she went to any rotavirus-infected areas recently.

hmmmm... that could be it. but my friend says that you'd also experience severe diarrhea if you had rotavirus, so i guess it's back to the stomach flu then?

anyways, here i am half asleep typing this entry. i hope the remaining family members don't fall sick, it's so energy consuming to care for a sick person! i should've just taken EL today, my brain is literally not working, sigh. my butt hurts for sitting too long, i have a slight sprain in my shoulders and my eyes are slowly going out of focus. errrr maybe it's a sign of literally ageing. haha.

so if anyone asks, tonight i will be sleeping right after take off. ta~!
