breathe...

this somehow became a looong post.

finally i can breathe-ish.

so busy at work and at home.

so many stuffs i wanna say and blog but forgot what already.

so many things i wanna do but did not get round doing so.

so many designs i wanna explore but ended up on the drawing board.

so many movies i wanna see but did not.

work had been kerazzzy last week: deadlines, phone calls, confirmations, meetings, more changes, more adhoc meetings, more impromptu decisions to be made, thus no time to update. Not to say i have loads of readers like other bloggers. Like soon said,"Nothing wrong to hope!" Right?

enuf of rantings about work cos i know some of you guys & dolls will just scroll down to see pictures with your fingers. i know!

been shifting & moving stuffs around my home, mostly after work and over the weekend, so i'm a dead-fish by the end of it. Where got time and energy to blah di blah?

I tried to vent or talk on the phone with Z but be like...hmm hmm...bah...i watch tv first or you talk lah. Plus rather go out with colleagues and watch movies with them. Fine...Sometimes i do wonder.

I tried to watch tv but nothing much on, cos i watched most of the chinese series already-well, the nice ones lah, the bida one...i dun watch ok.

just finished watching 'The Silver Chambers of Sorrow'. (pic)

This is one of the series where you watched and felt like slapping a few of the characters. I no joke!. The bitches really deserved them- their words & doings are so petty and all for oneself. Jw would agree.

I tried to go out too but dunno where, what, who? There is so much coffee one can drinks. Am i such a boring person? maybe i am.

Last night being a (trying to be) good son brought my papa out for a meal at She-ra's in town to celebrate what else? papa's day loh. The place was packed and thank God i booked in advance.

Saw a couple of familiar faces-you know those u nod ur head and smile acquaintances, and those hi-how are u-never contact friends. Even managed to chat with one of my childhood BFF whom we lost contact with but saw each other across the room and too shy to speak.

Found out his newborn's name. (cp: you know who i'm talking about- the one u wanted to bring me to visit but did not get round doing so)

ooo, even saw a blogger with his family. clue: one of the berrys.

How was the food?

one word: NOT WORTH IT. (ok! it's 3 words) cos i wanted to say crap but its not true cos it's still edible and i did enjoy some of the food.

So did not even bother to take picture tho it did cross my mind and showing how bad the food were. so if the Check Email Only or PR of the hotel/restaurant read this: Wat the eff you guys did to the mains?

the starters was quite a spread and i think tat was the only good 'spread' for the night.

the mains was disgraceful. It's international buffet and they have like only 6 dishes: fried rice, fried kway teow, fried prawn, mixed veggies, cauliflower and slices of beef (which i must say, Doc's homecooked ones are muchhhh better). ooo dun forget the roast lamb. (yeah! like it's all that, cos it's not!) tell me how international?

if i want fried kway teow, i know where to eat? if i want fried rice, my mama cooks better. And to make it worse, they both tasted below average and cold. Such a BIG disappointment. So wat everyone did? Queued up for the pasta; as it was cooked to your preference and served hot.

As for desserts, ok! i got to admit, they did have quite a selection. Only thing is their famous chocolate mousse cake failed to impress anyone, even for me. Why? It's bloody soft. When u lift it up and drop it to your plate, it ends up mushy. To make matter worse, the whole cake on the tray...after an hour, look like shit cos it fell flat. Such a biiig let down.

ooo...my bros & papa tried their teppanyaki icecream and the queue was loooong. wat's the hoohah abt it?

basically u get to pick your toppings and choice of icecream, then mr. icecream man will mix them like rojak for you. that's all. i tot wat? eh...and it's too sweet for my liking.

anyway...enuf of that.

As i was home for most of the weekend, i watched the pianist! yes! not the penis, the Pianist. the one which won 3 oscars incl best actor and it was recommended by Z. warning: over 2 hours long but good.

talk about survival? my God! How can one survive in such a racist environment, let alone survive through the war? I must say, the story is really good and u feel for the people. (pci)

However, the actor reminded me of a squashed up Ross Gellar, but his acting is good. So deserved the bold man statue. Its a powerful and sad movie to say the least, so check it out. ooo...its a real story too.
praise to all the actors in the movie and the director. (pci)
the real Szpilman...(pci)

ooo...i finally received my tees i got my dearest Sherry to get for moi in the US of A. Thank You SOOOO much. I will post that later and can't wait to wear them out, cos i & Z could well be the only ones who got them here muahahaha! jealous...and once again, thank you for getting them for us and dun tell me how much.

ps. GOTW will be back (finger-crossing) this Thursday as 'usual'.

pps. Z said Maid of Honour is so-so only. I want to watch Hulk-dun ask me why? i did not even watch the previous Eric Bana's version.

ooo yes! i finally had my hair cut. This new hairstylist can really talk give you ideas on your hairstyle. I think we 'chatted' for like a good 20 mins before decided which direction to go: A. a nice neat trim but with an 'edgy' touch yet easy to maintain or B. short fringe, closely cut sides or something to frame my face and side, with some length at the back. Not a mullet! in case you starts to begin. I can't even begin to visualise.

Though i was tempted for the latter but i just couldnt. why? i paiseh lah, and later go meeting with that hair. hehe! if i'm a student and maybe a bit braver, i might. No confident bah.

Though i said i chose A, she cut for almost an hour and abit more. she really took her time (i'm not complaining cos she did a great job) I tell you, if i dozed off-sure wake up with something else. haha...with a fringe.

We chatted on quite a bit: hair related, food related, travel related, family related, durians related, work related. It's nice to be able to chat and feel comfortable with your hairstylist. Dun get me wrong, she is not the talkactive type...u know the one that on and on and on. There is a fine line between friendly and in your face kapoh. Or worse, i've been to a few who were like spoken only like 3 or 4 lines.

ppps. get well soon Jw.

OMG! they printed a picture of moi playing balls.

yes! me shooting some balls into some small hoops on saturday afternoon at one of the local mall. goodness...

nah...tat's the tiny hoops you got to aim into. tips: all you need to do is throw the balls softly, do not use any force. easy does it. and ooo...throw the balls upwards, gently and aim for the low hoops...DO NOT try to aim the high high one and show off...

I won myself a meal voucher...nice! from one of the local chicken restaurant...not bad leh...and dun be fool by the background...ie...all the countries destinations...U win only meal vouchers hor...but hei...not bad wah...cos ALL me, J, E & M did was show our credit cards and we all get to play and plus get 2 chances for a lucky draw to win ticket to KL or travel vouchers.

as it's a 2 day roadshow by the world's local bank, and me being a kiasu haha...hei...if they are giving, try your luck and see loh...right! plus i got nothing to lose wah...

so me, J and E met up there to play again...and this time, the crowd was massive...cos they had other games going on. blah di blah...all i wanted was to get 2 more chances to win...try lah and also get reward points.

speaking of points, well done to J for winning 1000 points ...damn...and all i got was 200 hmm...well..ok ok lah...i'm happy...it's free anyway...right...better than not getting anything.

post that, we left for open house, cos i was damn hungry...and saw some lion dance...

i have seen lion dances in my life...but i have not seen one like this...the host make the 2 'lions' to drink...i think 9 or 10 cans of beer and finish off with 2 glasses of red wine before peeling off all the mandarins. mine mine...

it's fun tho' cos the 'lions' after 3 or 4 cans later...walked around or moved around 'drunkenly'. cool huh...
sitting down drinking some beer...cute huh...

and off for some mahjong sessions...wat else leh...

faces are cropped off to protect the Mahjong addicts haha!!!...

and around 7-ish...got a call from Z that hmm...I WON the KL travel package for 2 from the lucky draw...OMG. wah!!! to be honest, i so did not expect this leh...

Road Trip 08...

everyone knows i dun wake up early on a sunday; 8am to be exact. gila ya!!!! sunday suppose to be a lazy day! i dun care wat others say; to me...it's best to just lay in bed and do nothing- ok ok!, not nothing lah; turn on astro or hardrod and catch up on all the series.

however if i do get up that early, it can only be either:

1. i'm on holiday,
2. relatives or close friends' weddings, or
3. road trip.

yes! ROAD TRIP! my first road trip of 2008!...wat a sunday! or in Jo(e)'s case...'fruitful' event.

where did we go? only across the border via 2 toll-booths & a loooong bridge. The last time i went there was hmm...when huh? to be honest! limpeh also forget oledi! it must be tat looong.

wat did we do?

set off at 08:45 from my house in the green pajero.
Wat a beautiful day to start our road trip. Blue sky, white clouds and music of the day: SANDY LAM ONLY haha! why? cos my ipod thingy spoil i think! and E's car had only 2 cds. (not complaining)

first pit stop:
eat of course! why all we do is eat huh! why? haha...(again not complaining)

the famous panggang in the whole of Brunei: prawn or beef filled. nyaman tu!!! really nice.
i have heard all about it, (and might have tried before-maybe in some's houses for all i know) but now i can proudly say...been there and eat it too. and IT'S GOOOOOD!!!! and finished off with Mr Brown coffee-in-a-tin. hmm...

road trip are the best time to catch up on good old times and talk rubbish really haha! and best of all, we get to see our J&B making out! well...when i say making out, i meant J's love/hate altitude towards her B. goodness! these 2 are really made of each other. who else can stand our J's jolliness. haha!
2 toll-booths later, we arrived in Miri City hor (not town anymore). The reason for this road trip was:

1. E wanna stock up on his coming bday dinner/party and collect his glasses (which comes in a very niccce case-i like!);
2. J wanna check out her stuff - ended up being her 'fruitful' day!!! yes J?

So me & Z were just there to tag along and shop/eat loh. wat else? (again again not complaining).For some reason, we like to eat the 'finger-lickin' good' chicken when we hopped over to Miri. why?
simple fact: cos it's cheaper than our own. see see...

Only when we finished everything, hehe! then i nin nia forgot to take photo.
opps! so pic of bones to prove ok lah.

i dun recall seeing our dollar note this big leh...

while J&B checking out their stuffs, the 3 of us wondered round and round the shops...and towards the end...u know...it's tiring ya! nothing much to buy or see as well. hmm...stuffs there are not tat cheap as well...ok ok! fresh chicken wings are cheap! this is a fact.

So we headed back and decided to make another pit stop in my hidden gem store. hehe! yup yup! more sunnies yeah!!!! we were not sure if the shop open as it's kinda late and it's sunday. also, not sure if there is anything else to buy. But guess wat? someone went a little crazy. who? no names shall be mentioned...just say: most of us left with at least 2 pairs of vintage original sunnies each: either raybans, monalisa and carrera.

i think we made the ah gongs really really happy leh. cos ever since i went there, agar-agar too bought 2 pairs herself from there. So i shld be getting commissions or maybe one or 2 pairs of sunnies free. RIGHT? fair bah!

ooo...we made a 3rd pit stop to ta-pau at the famous Seria Kolomee.

the kolomee somehow lost it's tastiness...but hei, when u hungry...u will stuff the one dollar eighty cents mee down your throat and a smile will automatically appear. believe me!!!

got to say, E targeted to be back home by 5pm. yeah right! tat's never gonna happen with us around hahaha!!!
we left Seria around 6:30 and the weather decided to piss with rain. why? but hei...it was a fun & 'eventful with loads of goodies road trip for all of us. :) All of us were sooo damn tired!!! ooo...picture is blurry cos the road is bumpy ya!

ps. looking forward to 2 dinners/parties this week. yup! the birthday seasons for 2008 officially begins now!

road trip, raybans & wedding...

wah hei...i'm a happy happpy happpy bunnyyyyyy...

Saturday, i went for a road trip to KBtown with Zar, James & met up w/ Val & S for lunch @ the original rojak/cucur udang/icekacang place. where? here lah.

Well, this trip was arranged by J, and u cannot say NO to a free ride all the way to KBtown for lunch. Plus he won himself a treat from bidarlah as he correctly

guessed this place previously;

got to say, he also guessed quite a few correctly lah. Damn Well done yo!

I'm sure James will blog all about his dayout, as he did take quite a few pics. So i will leave tat to him.

but why am i happy?

post lunch, we went shopping...well...how shld i say it? walking around the 2 rows of shops. Yeah...more like it...tat's it. But hei, was it a fruitful walk, or IT IS!!!!

1. i bought my secret santa pressie for shhhhhh!!! phew! done...

2. i bought myself another sunnies. yes! another pair...after buying one pair in Japan & one in HK - which i looooved but this one is a MUST. Cos i hv been looking for it high and low.

Earlier in the year i fell in love with the rayban's Wayfarer, and bought the
1980's version in tortoise color but wat i really wanted was the black ones. But just no way to be found plus its in minted condition man...and at a bargain. Trust me! bargain...its a keeper and collector item (my first rayban) Not the re-released ones.

Then i saw the black original ones, on Saturday in one of the shops.

clue for me, its original/ vintage sunnies.

1. the shop sells sunglasses and watches ONLY.

2. the shop had been there for donkey years.

3. all the sunnies are OLD and there are no new stocks like ever since.

4. An Ah-Gong looked after the shop ever since.

5. U can bargain. However, do check the frames & lenses carefully.

The one i bought is this one...
In case u like me, wondering how come the black one got no rayban logo...did i got ripped off, silly fool?

hmm...i dun think so, cos it came with the black leather rayban wayfarer casing, and the 'glass' lens is engraved with the BL (like all orginals)and the inside side frame is engraved with B&L RAY-BAN U.S.A with the model code. hmm...so i tot wow...original la and did not realised the missing logo. hmm...until

so i googled as me no expert in raybans and found out it's actually the1960's RayBan wayfarer. 1960's original leh!!! (i emailed this store, and now await their confirmation if it's authentic), the frame is slightly smaller than the 1980's tortoise one. Nonetheless, for the time being, i say its VINTAGE man!!!! and that deserves a celebration. And let me tell you guys, Rayban collectors...it's heaven for you guys....i tell you. Unfortunately, i only want the wayfarer. so if you guys want aviators...check it out...all kinds and bargain man.

Today...

went to Rozie & Zadi's Bersanding (wedding)- i think this could well be my first Malay wedding i attended in my life. Ok...maybe when i was young, i may have but i dun recalled; so tat doesn't count right? ok ok...not true cos last week i went to another Malay wedding but not the traditional at home type cos it's at a hotel. Well...as long there are food, i'm happy. I wanted to take photos of the place, food, day and all but it's (quite) hot and the floor is (slightly) muddy. So did not, but got talking to Gman himself- he is like he claimed on his blog, he is a funny papa/guy, and yes...payperpost works. check it out.

Anyway...CONGRATS to both the pengantin.

Ship ahoy!!!

The world's oldest active ocean-faring passenger ship cum floating bookshop, MV Doulos, which is built 2 years after Titanic was in town, actually docked in Muara Port. So anyone interested in going, u got to drive all the way there. U got till Nov. 2. So quick! Fair enuf. It's free to the public. Yup! no entrance fee. So not only you get to see the ship, be in it (well only the top deck), and buy books.

well...that was wat i tot? could well be a great day out. But...

yes! BUT....BIG BUTT. seriously...

as it was a sunday, as expected there will be heaps of ppl. Check!as it was a sunday, with heaps of ppl, as expected there will be queue. CHECK!

So since we were there, queue loh. wat to do? and i tot the queue at Krispy Kreme in Japan was long, hmm...i tell you...this one is longer.

And unlike the Japanese, the ppl here i tell you...no standard one. Dunno who to blame really.

The idiots or the plain stupid.

First, the stupid organizer did not arrange the queuing rope properly.

Started of as 2 person per lane, then suddenly widen to 5 per lane then 1 per lane, ended up everyone yes! everyone just pushed each other and tried to move forward.

Yup! the idiots.

to make matter worse, standing behind me were 2 ladies...omg...non stop! i tell you. One of them was pissed off cos her life was hell, something to do with someone did not email her or something or rather. yes! her bloody hotmail had been the same for 1o years. She said it herself," 10 years anniversary and still the same." If she had mentioned her bloody hotmail ac, I would have now emailed her saying, SHUT YOUR TRAP!

the other one no worse, ya-bahed on and on about her own life. SHUT your piehole ya! Followed on by complaining about the queue cos some idiots cut queue (fair enuf- i was pissed too).

To make matter worse, it bloody rained.
And the queue were are f*cked up. Everyone from the back, sides, centre all jumbled up and tried to get to the front. Squeezed here and there. See wat i meant by the stupid organizer did not think about the queue line.
Having your mascot and jugglers out there did not help to solve this matter yo!

So imagine, when the rain started to pour, one by one the crew member came out to speed up the queue. yes! families with children first! wat the fu*K? Even the captain or dressed like one came out. Yeah! u stand there with us, does not help u guys being so disorganized.

We queued for over one bloody hour, got jumped queue, and those came late got to enter first just becos they brought their miserable kids with them. And there were me & Z, right at the front of the queue, letting all those idiots through. I almost snapped i tell you. Ppl behind me were feeling the same. So bloody unfair. If the queue were properly set up, i dun mind and not for all those idiots.

So i told Z, the inside and books better be good.

So was it?

Like i always say, There are no free lunch or dinner in these world. Free entrance stuff is SHIT! I tell you: SHIT. yes! i dun care wat other says. Bidarlah said the whole thing-SHIT.

from the beginning to the end. SHIT. just see for yourself.

the inside...
started of with stalls where you get to dress up different countries costumes, yeah tat ok!, face painting (hmm...), a corner with a matress with some books (stupid), one stupid game for kid, and some others useless stalls.

the exit & walkway to the 'book shop' was hmm...how do i say this? stupid!

You had to walk through the video room and when we were there, a lady stopped everyone causing a long queue again. Maybe the video was playing, so dun disturb or the route to the book shop was packed. Yes! apparently only one route. Then suddenly another japanese lady shouted," book shop...follow me." see another route.

Up we went, omg! the book shop.it's on the open deck of the ship, under a tent. Are the books any good?

If you want to buy webster's ultra thick dictionary, or altas, or some unless cookbooks, yes!

If you want to buy really really big and thick geographical stuffs, yes...

If you want to buy useless kids books, yes...

If you want to buy non-fiction book...NO

If you want to buy yoga book...NO

If you want travel books...NO

If you want to buy more useless books...yes! and it's special price...(outside)

If you want to buy books for the sake of buying since you are there... yes!

Did i buy any? No. Actually almost, Dr Gillian new book but the queue is...(fill in yourself)

So if you got nothing to do this coming week, why not head over there? U might just enjoy it, if the stupid organizer get their act together, and there aren't that many idiots.

just a normal holiday...

yup!

wat do you do when u are bored and have no 'open houses' ie. free food to go to on your holiday (day 2) huh? cos on day 1, all i did was chilling out literally...in bed. nice...

So met up with Maggie & Hubby for a cuppa or actually gelato for me in town- niceeee.... yummm. hei...it's 94% fat free leh. Yes! God knows where the other 6% went and Maggie was asking how many grams that is cos she & her hubby are currently on a diet. (*her hubby hmm...)

Post gelato, went hmm...ok ok! dun say: how dare u? admit it, you guys buy them too... pirated dvd shopping. there i said it...2 dollars and 50 cents only each. halo??? cheaps as chips. i hv not buy one of those for ages actually, cos i hmm...grabbed it off friends haha...so it's FREE.

anyway...feeling bored and nothing to do, so wat can we do as no one invite us to open houses (i repeat!)?

wat else? MAHJONG of course lah. those cling cling cling...clang clang clang...those are music to our ears...and those swearing conversations on the table are just fun. hmm...

aww... see seee see see eee...I SAY see...those purple tiles.

We had our fun, and those ladies (wifes of blah di blah) were busy facebooking. I tell you, playing scrabulous in facebook and surfing the internet. Oh btw, those on facebook, add me as your friend and play scrabulous or paper, scissor, rock with me.

Later desperation kicks in for them and as we have no extra table, they resorted to ....

yup...ON THE FLOOR!!!... i tell you those ladies played 'G-Ra-Mii' (dunno how to spell) on the carpet.

and self made tiles holder so they dun hv to lie flat on the floor. hahahahha!

see... fun fun fun...

ps. if u wonder why i did not show faces? dun ask me why? i do also want to know why? why? why? why? why can't we show faces of who were playing? couple of the players said no no no! esp one of the hubby: wo! dun show xxx (my wife face) hor! why? Police catch ka? U lose your job ka? Gov't check on you ka? I dunno loh. If anyone know, pls explain to me.

In your contract with your job, 1. cannot gamble? 2. if caught, bye bye?

We are in a private area, playing with chips somemore...unlike some played poker (full decks, holder, chips and all) in restaurant ie. Public. That's how open now! So Adam (our Gordon ramsay-in the making) when you come back, bring your professional poker out & play in coffee zone hor. I kid you not...IN public some more and that's ok? seriously.

Yet, in my little blog where only a handful of friends read: dun show faces wor...? Not sure if i'm annoyed by the statement or just simply can't get my head round. So you tell me, we can discuss and upload all kind of pictures: food, our friends, our sexual encounters, our travel, our wishlists, work, rants, but hold on a minute: not faces of ppl having fun (gambling) in their own little private space?

ooo ps. i finally started open housing or raya-ing? i'm happy! i'm stuffed with food.

Hunt...too close

Did you guys & dolls had a great weekend? Anything to share, pls tell me yo! I was too tired to post until now...

Mag & I joined the HSBC treasure hunt yesterday, as part of their roadshow at the Mall.

We met up around 2-ish and saw our competitions - we were there to win. WIN WIN WIN! There were 29 others teams including team no 1: Scapper-hunters who ended up winning the 3rd prize. Curses!

We were Team no 5- simply known as team Bidarlah haha!

Did we win? Did we?

Almost! dAmn it! Damn it! Ok! I did not read the rules properly cos I tot we will be briefed by the organizers on the very day, nope. did not! Just photo session. (pic from Zar)

However despite all that, team Bidarlah ended 4th place. :(

BUT BUT BUT! I just got to say, if we had bought the damn 'seasons ice apple tea' we would hv won 3rd place and if I answered the bloody triangle correctly, 2nd place. Hmm…so damn close! But it was a fun day though: running around the mall, looking for clue, and it’s my second ever treasure hunt, next time next hunt, we will be in top 3. haha!

Ps. We lost out by 3 bloody points. THREE (SA TIAM NYA). Celaka!

Anyway, I then stayed on after the prize presentation and said goodbye to Mag as she had to leave for home early. Why I stayed?


Cos James joined the shopping spree game, where participants had to shop for as many items within 6 minutes. Why i did not join? cos i did not spend more than 100 dollars on a single receipt with my credit card for the past few days. Nothing to buy bah! nothing! So those who did, have a chance to enter to a lucky draw to participate. Plus i'm never that lucky in such things. Never! i tell you!

Yes, it's a LUCKY DRAW! and damn James, he was lucky! He got picked after his team won 3rd place in the treasure hunt- 100 cash each. Arg!!!!

well prior to the game, both of us started to think where in the mall could they do the shopping spree-where u can actually use a trolley. com'on where else? UG loh!

So we went there and TARGET the items to take or stuff in the trolleys. haha! oh yes we did! shh! dun tell anyone hor...we looked for small useful & expensive items that we want like toothbrushes, toothpastes, batteries, deodorants, 3-in-1 coffees, car parfums, boardgames (they are expensive yo!), pens and others. haha! too bad they did not include bedsheets, dvd player, hi-fi and others which we earmarked oledi leh! (pic)

We got our strategy ready and remember it's a lucky draw ya! so that means his name would have to be plucked out of the bunches of names in the box for him to play. So imagine all of us rooting for him, when his name was called, CRAZY!!! WE ALL SHOUTED AND JUMPED up and down muahaha! i tell you, he got the loudest cheer and all of us then followed him round the store with his trolley: cheering him.

ok ok! more like SHOUTING...here, here, here...take this one...take that one... followed with more shouting and panting hahah!!!! even Sinfully D (who is pregnant) & hubby, plus irene were there running along with James. Gosh! Six minutes is not long nor short and he did good!

He filled 2 trolleys full with 600 over items worth over 2000 brunei dollars. well done! STRATEGY paid off yo! He grabbed loads: toothbrushes, small stickers by the racks yes! RACKS! pen & pencils by boxes. clever! Thanks to the storelady giving us idea. haha! (pic)

and did he win? HE BLOODY DID! man! He is damn lucky! Ok ok! he did not get to keep all of the items...cos the winner got to keep only 750 dollars worth of stuffs in the trolley... hei 750 is quite a lot of money. FREE leh! see that's why we TARGET the items haha! clever leh!
BOARD GAMES! yoohooo!!! i got myself RISK (dunno how to play but heard it's fun), deodorants, toothpastes and toothbrushes. haha! hei, my fair share lah for helping. Sinfully D, Gferro, Irene and even Zar got their shares too. So THANK YOU, James and also for dinner too.

when 2 become 1...

yup! spice gals are back but this is not wat the post about.

so did i go or did i not go to the charity yoga for SMARTER today? Of course i go lah. It's for a good cause com'on and i felt better today. why not?

how was it? it was supposed to be in shahbandar (open park) but Nora opted for plan B - in a hall cos the weather for the past few days had been a tad temperamental. And the response today was brilliant, a good number of yogi/nis came-ok! more yoginis that yogis: the ratio is like 5 to 1.

why i say 2 become 1?
