I beg your pardon...I'd never promised you a rose garden

..ha..ha..ha..ti bala bisi selalu nyebut,"I beg your pardon tau ke Say Again or Jai talipon tu..enda ulih di dinga", my advice is GO to a doctor & have your ears checked. Tu cerita amat tang nama enda tau di sebut laban enggai ke iya nyelaka ke aku. Iya tu lama udah enda entu ninga utai ko kami ti kami berandau enggau iya. Aku suah merati ke iya,selalu blank gamal tudah. Baru tu tadi,iya empu ngasai ke suara iya makin ari makin enda di dinga,utai di sebut urang enda meh di dinga iya. Enda liat iya tu tadi, lalu nganjong diri ngagai doctor. Di peresa tudah doctor meh iya tu tadi. Bisi utai ba pending nuan ko doctor..ba dua iti pending. Bendar doctor ka ngulih ke utai nya. Ya lah,utai nya 'gold' ko kitai. Meda enda ulih doctor dia,laban 'gold' nya amat dalam nyau di refer doctor nya ngagai CA iya. Datai ba CA,dia doctor ngena equipment ke canggih agi ngulih ke 'gold' nya. Bebayar RM180/- iya kena ngulih ke 'gold' pansut ari pending 2 piak. Apu ko iya..nyau ka se inchi pemanjai 'gold' nya pansut,laban udah kering. Ha..ha..Diatu enda agi ulih betelai bejako,pending iya udah nyadi bionic ears. Mimit utai alu ninga iya diatu..
Nyadi tu siti agi cerita...tu nuju sida ke lelaki. Nya kenu,bisi apai tuai urang iko tu,ama iya talipon ngagai anak iya,iya selalu madah ke talipon jai,enda ulih di dinga nyawa sanu,ko iya tau ke iya madah ke anak iya baru dani tinduk,lembau enggai bejako,tak enda ulih di dinga jako,ko iya. Udah ninga cerita kawan aku ke bisi 'gold ingot' ba pending iya,apai tuai urang tu lalu meresa pending iya asoh doctor. Nama mula,di peresa doctor pending apai tuai tu,di peda doctor tak bisi a collection of tiny cut hair in both ears.. Nya aku nyau berunding penatai buk tu. Paduhal, ti sida ke laki ngagai apek tukang gunting,enda ke sida ti udah ngungting,sida alu ngena brush ke besai,beri sida powder lalu nyapu muai buk ba pegu,pending & mua. Pelaba aku dia penatai buk;buk nya somehow kena tipas lalu masuk begulai enggau powder especially ti pending baka satelite dish,senang endar buk & powder tama menerusi canal. ha..ha. Nya meh ti bala anak,uchu & laki complain ke enda ninga,asoh peda doctor pending sida. Okay?? Enggai ke..'I beg your pardon' or "'Say Again". Nya meh cerita..amat cerita tu..

What shall I write about?

I have a lot to write about but they are quite depressing to even share with you all out there.
It had been a hectic weekend with the arrival of an unexpected guest from D's longhouse who came to stay for 2 nights before going to Btu to visit his sister-inlaw who needs some words of comfort & encouragement after having undergone some kind of breast transplant because of cancer. I pray that she will get well soon.
Last night we attended the funeral wake of C G; quite a lot of relatives from Paku & Balingian came. Her 3 pretty daughters came back from NZ on Saturday and the funeral was this morning at St. Columba's Church.I did not go for the church service.
Yesterday morning,outside the church,I exchanged greetings with this beautiful lady who, without fail always greeted me with the sweetest smile each time we met outside the church...but yesterday,she looked frail,still managed to give her sweet smile & only then I realised it was her that friends mentioned, had one of her breasts removed less than a month ago. She showed to me which side of her breast had been removed. She said that she did not have to go for chemo. Praise be to God for that.
A young man whose blog I happened to read while surfing the net,mentioned that while struggling with life,trying to make ends meet,he always wished he would strike a lottery...but now that he is sick, he said he would gladly forgo the jackpot & get back his good health instead.
So I ask you..what would you forgo?
