What's in a name?Puchong=Telu

You know,that Interchange/Flyover which was thought to be called Puchong Interchange has been renamed to Setia Raja Manai Interchange out of respect for the Kedayan and Malay communities in northern Sarawak & Brunei & the new name Setia Raja Manai Interchange reflects Miri's history and State's close ties with Brunei,said the CM. According to a Kedayan ADUN,..listen to this.. Puchong is an unpalatable name. Puchong in Kedayan refers to the male genital. WHAT!!!!??? Yes,Puchong in Kedayan refers to the male genital and an ADUN of Kedayan descent pointed that out. Nya meh bala kaban, perkembangan cerita Puchong reti nya 'Telu', ukai ga 'Telu Buruk'....cut..cut...

The Opening of once called 'Puchong' Interchange

I didn't realise the opening ceremony of this interchange to take place this morning until I switched on Radio MiriFM, then I heard the CM giving his speech. Yesterday,on the way back from church service,while waiting for the traffic jam to ease a bit,we managed to get 3 shots of the new flyover. Amat je..jampat TPK ngaga utai. Heard there's a new name for the flyover/road. Heard Puchong is not suitable a name.. will find out more,cos I have not been out of the house this morning as I'm cleaning the house. Not good to let the dust of 2007 to be carried forward to 2008. BAD Feng Shui, so said LToo.

Parents of the bride

I know it is only the 6th day of Christmas and 'tis a season to be jolly,according to a lyric of a xmas favourite, but in Miri & I'm sure elsewhere, 'tis seems to be the season for mating. I don't mean it in a crude way..just trying to make the sentence more appealing. You know how it is,during Advent,i.e before Xmas, Christians are not supposed to get married. D& I were one of the culprits who defied that ruling. We got married on 20th December,1980...& I know quite a number of people also committed that SIN..getting married during Advent. After Xmas everyone seems to get hitched. Wedding dinners everywhere. The bridal shops are busy and so are the salons,where not only the bridal party go there for hair do & make up but the invited guests,too.

You see, I went to another wedding last night..they somehow managed to abstain from getting married during Advent,being good Christians,afterall dad is a church warden at Matei Dei. In that Boulevard restaurant alone, 2 weddings took place. A few engagement parties were held last night,one of which was the engagement of Endu's son to her late mother's best buddy's grand daughter. Confused? Vernon's engagement to Jill (not my Jill). Congrats to Vernon & Jill. Thank you Endu for not telling me..I had to get the news from Edward/Awat. Last night,the entourage from Kuala Lumpur in the form of Mang & family...especially flown in to attend another engagement party. Congrats to James & fiancee.

About the wedding last night, I was and am happy for Ai Geok & Dimang and share their joy when Alisa got married to Anthony. The crowd made up mostly of church people. The food was plentiful & I saw so much wastage.

Announcing the arrival of......the bride & groom. Salah ukai, it's Indai Maie,ko Lily.

Please be seated..a rare smile from Apai Maie..must be the 'escalating' price of the palm oil /oil palm that is

causing him to 'SMILE'.

Yes, Indai Maie, Keligit meh nya...anang entu merening,peda nuan ALK senyum 24jam...gaga bulih keligit. ha..

I couldn't help taking a snapshot of the MC's polished pair of shoes...really kilat. (shiny)). The 'kilatness'/shininess tells a lot about a person. D's friend, a fellow lawyer said, "Nama guna gamal sigat, ngena jacket,seluar & baju manah,kuchah-kuchah bejako ti kasut nyau bekurai, bekerak, balut latak/tai ukoi/tai manok lintong?" what's the use of looking smart when your shoes are not polished/ shiny? After hearing that, every sunday,after church,D never fails to polish his shoes. ( Kasut kena gap ko aku tu.)
