Mummy’s childhood days…

October 11, 2007

Me grew up watching He-man, MASK, Transformers, Mickey
Mouse, Ninja turtles, Carebears, Robocop, My Little Pony and Smurfs.

Me grew up brushing my teeth with a mug in Primary school

during recess time. I squatted by a drain with all my classmates,
brushing together with a coloured mug.

Envelopes were given to us to donate
to Sharity Elephant
on every Children’s
Day.

I read Young Generation magazine.

I like Vinny the little vampire and Acai the constable.

Me bought tidbits called beebee, and mamee, which came
with a different sticker in it every time.


My English workbooks were made of some damn poor
quality paper
that was smooth and yellow.

Boys loved to play soccer with small stones or tennis balls in the

basketball court.
Girls played five stones and boys played with marbles.

Science was fun with the Balsam and the Angsana being the most

important plants of our lives, guppies and swordtail being
the most important fishes.

Who can forget Ahmad, Bala, Sumei and John,

immortalized in my mind from the school textbooks.

I wore BM2000 shoes from Bata to school.


Collecting and battling with erasers was a pastime for boys.


I came to school 15 mins before the bell every morning just

so I could copy someone’s homework…Hehe

There were spelling tests and mental sums to do almost everyday.

What tarot card Mummy has?

February 25, 2007

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
