When we were small, aiskrim potong was a must after a tiring day at school. *drool* "Pakcik, eskrem potong satu!"
When our hair grows long, we think of having it cut. "Jangan la potong rambut tu. Sayang la..."
This potong, that potong... (oh..cute pulak sebut *potong potong potong* byk kali) Hahaha.
However, recently...the term 'potong' has become popular again, due to the war campaign between P1w1max and Streamyx. The latter was so daring to pawn the former by using the same word.
If previously the question "Dah potong?" was so synonym with P1w1max, now...u have to listen to the ads attentively to ensure whether it belongs to that company or TM's Streamyx.

What's funny is when they also use the tagline "Faster and more enjoyable" -- haha! What a misleading ads! I mean, with the double meaning it carries :P
Bcoz of that, there's a mixed reactions from different groups of people. Some find it insulting, while some would just smile to themselves while driving while the ads is aired on the radio.
Yesterday, while invigilating the exams...a colleague of mine (Chinese) came in to monitor his students. So, we had a whispering chat...
Me : AD, I heard ur Program is moving to Pilah campus next year. AD : Yes, only the junior lecturers. Me : Oh... I thought it involves the whole Program. AD : No. The seniors will stay. Me : Okay la...then u can be the Head there. AD : No la...This...(showing his skin colour). Unless if I 'potong' first la. Me : Hahaha. Then, u potong la...
....*and we giggled in the quiet exam hall*...
:P
This morning, my officemate, DrTan (Winie) invigilated the exam for Stephen's (also a Chinese) paper. After asking the students to tie up Answer Booklets A & B together, she collected and sent them to the Exam Room...
Stephen : Aiyaa...why didn't u separate Booklet A & B? Winie : U came in twice to monitor, but U didn't say anything. Stephen : Ohh..okay. Winie : Ne'er mind. Count them first la... Stephen : Ah... yes. Then, later I potong la. Shahril : (the Exam committee, overheard it) What? U belum potong aaa? Stephen : Aiyaa... nanti I potong la.
And they laughed.
Haihhh...How the word potong is so popular nowadays!!!

Hello peeps! Do u remember when I blogged about my sleepless nights since the past two weeks and the non-stop cold/cough I had?
Yes, it was for about a fortnight and it didn't stop even after I went to the clinic twice to get various types of meds. I was also prescribed with sleeping pills-but my eyes were still wide until 5 or 5.30am! Giler chargas tak bertempat!
Those sleepless nights have seen me being productive marking exam scripts and writing my book, but I wasn't happy bcoz somehow I still need my beauty sleep.
Wahahaha... (mode: berangan jadi Sleeping Beauty)
Last Sunday, I went to the Bazarena Stadium (a.k.a Pasar Pagi or car-boot-sale, whatever u call it)...and I suddenly decided to buy this out of the blue...
Some of u might have heard of it. I'd like to emphasize here that I am not a dealer/distributor whatnot of this product...but it just crossed my mind to try it.
As heard on the radio (I hate listening the echoed voice repeating the word 'ECPI' for about 10X in an ads)... this multi-purpose water is said to cure various types of illnesses.
So back home, I gulped down a glass of it and voila!!! I slept soundly!
I did wake up in the middle of the night, but I had not trouble closing my eyes again. Hahaha. Magic tak?
Anyway, MrHubby said...perhaps I was too exhausted after going here and there during the day. So, yesterday, I tried again...
Well, yesterday was a working day (which is very different as compared to Sunday, when I started drinking it). And I slept uninterrupted until morning (exc. when Cikebum climbed on me for his bonbon)!
So, today, I wonder whether it really works or it is just my mindset (but I wasn't having a high expectation about this ECPI thingy).
I googled and discovered this...
ECPI Water is produced by a combination of different types of water treatment systems such as:
In this process, energy wave patterns of food supplements, multivitamins, pro hormones and organ codes are transmitted into ECPI water molecules. These energy wave patterns will form chains of stable memory patterns in ECPI water and enhance its energy level. when you drink ECPI water, the central nervous system (CNS) reads the energy wave patterns in it and transmits the same to various parts of the body according to their needs.
I teach my students several water purification technologies, but never discussed of the results of combined methods like this. Hmmm... an assignment for the students next sem, perhaps? Hehehe.
Or..have any of u tried...and would like to share some info with me?
After so much persuasion and inducement by reasoning... MrHubby & I finally went golfing with my boss, DrWan yesterday. Hahaha...
...at the driving range...
It was fun for a first-timer like me. Oh yes, the fun started with the jakun-me snapping pix here and there. Ngeee :P
Cikebum was busy with the golf balls.
Then, the sifu taught MrHubby the tricks and skills...
from A...
...to Z
While DrWan was hitting the balls, Cikebum pun enterframe... Haishhh...
Eh..eh..zip terbukak la!!! :P
(Haha. Actually DrWan was correcting MrHubby on holding the club the right way)
Haaa...like this...
Okay, dear...One two
three....
swoooshhh!!!
uiiii...jauhnyaaaa......
Eleh..eleh...manja le tu!
Then I said "Ayah, cuba cover sikit peyut tuncit tu. Baru nmpk berkepak sikit dada tu." MrHubby replied "Kepak? Kepak macam ni ye? (*mengepak mcm ayam) Hehehehe."
Cikebum, after so much enterframing, he played with his Thomas
sampai tertonggeng-tonggeng (though the floor was not uneven!)
Then, came the time for the little golfer to be in action...
..ooo...so this is the culprit!!!
Me, as usual...mesti ada jugak. Save the best for the last la... :P
err...where's my ball? (macam PCK la pulak)
Overall, we had a good time. Addicted to it? Err... we'll think about it.
Mulut penuh pun, capai lagi...
Bersungguh-sungguh suap...
And he was happy just looking at the cute li'l cuppies...
"Mama, do I look cute if I pout my mouth like this?"
Let me put one...
And he was happy
