and who are you, the proud lord said, that i must bow so low?

i was minding my own business mopping the front porch which was muddy from the day-long rain on saturday and noticed out of the corner of my eye that my neighbour’s son, his wife and their two kids were outside about to leave.

i heard a female voice say something and realised i had an audience.

in a coat of gold and in a coat of red, a lion still has claws


sorry, did you say something, i asked.

“boleh buat calun*”, the son’s wife said, with a stupid smirk of a smile on her face (*something that old ladies and smug marrieds would say to single girls, indicating their marriagability).

ahaha, i could just about manage a weak smile back.

what am i, bloody twelve years old??

and mine are long and sharp, my lord, as long and sharp as yours …**

……………………………


i must have been on a different planet but apparently, hbo productions had, in january this year purchased the broadcast rights for george r r martin’s entire a song of ice and fire series, with plans for each book from the series to be filmed over an entire season's worth of episodes. martin will script one episode per season.

am giddy at the possibilities.

omg omg omg.

i thought you're a lannister? hear me roar?

p/s- hbo? omigod. i hope they don't screw it up.

lita said...

steve - pfffffftttt.

ms j - she makes a damn fine sambal for lontong though, so every raya we would pray she comes so we get the traditional lontong from our neighbour rather than the tipu version if she is not around.

ezly - if you are far away enough you can just smile and ignore them.

des - can i be a targaryen instead (esp if it turns out jon is half one). damn i cant wait to see what rhaegar looks like all of a sudden. hbo ok what. they've done good stuff so far e.g sopranos & six feet under. can you imagine that same detail and attention to each book? (shivers in anticipation)

"Like" has domestic qualifications galore? Thanks Ms J for the tipoff! She is expert at "ciiking", "seing" etc?

Right you, no more typing one-handed with baby in your other arm! Purchase speech recognition software immediately! Before the vowel exchanging & consonant dropping gets worse at the little tyke becomes heavier!

Drives like a cabdriver in KL? Er.. you mean she drives at 3kmh whilst surrounded by a traffic jam which is remniscent of a linear parking lot?

Ms J, is she a proficient gardner also? ;;)
