Wake Up and Smell the Cake

I had a very entertaining AAM session today even though we were missing one student and one mentor. Haha. Today the boys were extra noisy, especially one of them. Since we ended earlier, they shared stories, like PSLE results. Haha. And they know who Other Half is. He taught them for a while a few years ago. And! One of the boys is a colleague's son. HAHA. Small world eh. I told them I will be going London for quite some time, I'll have just one more lesson with them before I fly off, then they asked, "Alah! Abeh Kakak tak boleh datang for the camp!!" Yeah, I can't :( I know the camp will be the ultimate bonding session with the students, even if I don't teach them, but I know they'll be wonderful nonetheless. When I come back they should be all psyched up for O Levels! I really hope this batch will do well. They deserve it. The kids are great. The reason I wake up a lil earlier each Saturday morning and teach. One of the few things I like to do volunt...

I don't know why but I feel cheated when I listen to Aku Cinta Aku Rindu and Makin Aku Cinta. I love duets. These two songs, they were written when the singers were life partners, thus I feel that the songs are extra sweet compared to duets sung by non-couples. Very sweet lyrics, easy to relate to. BUT. Since learning of BOTH couples' divorces, I don't like the songs anymore. Call me weird, but yeah. It does have an effect. It's like, "ah what a lie!" And whatever they sang is not true anymore :( Never mind. I still have my two favourite duets, the most played songs in my iTunes. They were a couple in the movie and in real life, but dunoe if they're still together. But it's Hollywood, a little different. They change partners too often. Plus, they have their on-screen persona that didn't break up. Sugary sweet relationship. HAHA. Very Disney. I can live with that. Haha!

I saw this cute elderly couple on the way to the mosque (HAHA macam lah the mosque is so far away), and when I was going back to office, met them again at the lift. The wife and I were in the lift going to the basement, and at the first floor, she saw her husband outside, just bought lunch from the usual Friday vendors. She waved and smiled at him, he saw and quickly ran to the lift in his kain pelikat just before the lift door closes. Cute lah I tell you. The pakcik was smiling while running. Then they went back home riding their scooter, the wife's hands round the husband's waist. I love to see elderly couples going places and doing things together, happy and in love. I wanna grow old like that with Other Half too. Bliss I tell you :) The scooter ride triggered my memory. Our scooter ride. Langkawi, by the shore. Sunset :) We'll do that again k? ♥
