Hello..Goodbye

Hey there stranger, how you bin'
Feels like i'm standing on the outside looking in
at the mess we left behind
And it's a long way to fall
I gave you everything I had
I gave it all
And then my heart was on the line

I can't hate you
any longer
I know i'm going to miss you
I'll forget it and let it go.

What doesn't kill you
It makes you stronger
And though i'm going to miss you
I'll forget it and let you go

And even though the tears will dry
I can't completely disconnect
Couldn't make the compromise
Didn't have a safety net
Say hello to goodbye, cuse its gone forever
No more try, you and I
Not now, not ever
And i'll get by without you
I'm not going back again
I'm not going to lie to you
Cuse, that was there and only then.

Goodbye Cowie

Ever had that feeling that when an object has been around you for so long that it becomes part and parcel of your life? Like say that angel statue that someone gave to you as a gift for some forgotten event, at some forgottten point in time? It just sits at your office desk, day after day, until one day it loses one wing and you throw it out..still makes you feel like something is missing..

Well Cowie was like that. Bought many years ago in an attempt to start a small fake garden, he had a small patch of fake grass where he sat on, high on the old coffee table..sitting at the front entrance of the house, welcoming anyone who walked in. He had a tall tree next to him, which gave Cowie a good shade..

Baby mickeyface would play with it, and we would try to wrestle Cowie out of his grasp, so he wont get broken,but alas..today was a day we could not defend Cowie

Cats have been known to have no mercy.

Sometime this morning, some Cat jumped unto the table..trying to catch the bird that made Cowie's tree a home. Cowie, unable to defend himself against the monstrous Cat, fell over..and severed his blessed head.

A part of the house, the first thing anyone would see before they walked in, gone today in a matter of minutes.

Thankfully Cowie's body had been removed before diplodo or baby mickeyface could see it..but his memory will always live on..

Rest in peace Cowie..

Big 30

When I was younger, my high school friends used to forget my birthday almost every year. Reason? It was too close to April Fools. Every1 is too busy fooling each other ( whats it called? Post April Fool Party?) that my birthday 2 days later jus jumps memory.

hmmm...
But they were great girls..all 7 of them..would throw a hell of a party when they would finally remember..:)

Since I kinda shut off my FB lately(no Kat, I am not a dino!!), i guess it was definitely ok that some people called me much later, and some needed thick skinned-on my part- reminder.haha..

I guess this can go off as a thank you note for everyone who made my much awaited 30th a good day( and a sorry note to some food outlets who did not)

Mum and dad, for the BIG La Manila cake, I havent had one since I was in early 20s. The taste is still great!
The Briyani from Devis, never ever again. I used to love you and at a point, you were one of the best from that part of town. But this time, really bad.
The huge karipap from MV, I am sorry I was too stuffed to eat you at the tea party.
Nyonya Kuih (thats kokoi diplodo), my favourite food since I was 3....

Baby Mickeyface- thanks for the mess
Diplodo (and Sulo) - I loved the earrings!!

Peky,my closest friend in my late twenties, thanks for the crazy deco and the Moo Moo. Scared baby mickeyface half to poopoo. Thanks for the 2nd cake and suprise party. I really didnt expect that on WD2.hahahaha!!

JC, the earrings matched  my baju la..lol. Thanks for the Bimba and Lola. If any1 has voucher, remember guys, its only discounted on leather shoes and bags. But i gotta say, If you wanna pay RM700 for a thin piece of blouse, please send some of your fortune to me.

There goes my thank you note. Theres still one gift I am waiting for( told ya Im thick skinned) but it can take its time to arrive :)

And remember, age is just a number! Live your life...
