Something About MonaY

[Alkapocino]

Borrow the title from OBI (brilliant idea).

monay ----------monay------------monay-----------monay-------monay
When I was young, you always give me an impression that you're smart, well mannered, soft spoken and a jovial person. There must be something about you, monay.

Care to share the secrets? :)

[monay]

:amazed: :eek: :cool: no words alka.....

Well i think the compliments r very genuine ---- i believed ur kindness touch many people heart :)

[Zazu]

monay - absolutely delightful interesting traits bundled into a person...

initially i thought she was super forgetful, at times a tad irresponsible.
but now i have known her to be a kind and caring person, very determined in all that she does, a perfect example of a sanguine person.

onli thing dat i dun understand is... how she and mr kong can sing a song in two different pitch... perfectly...

[Chris C]

She's many guy's dream gal and the pretty good gal next door that mothers adore......:)

Luckily she din say Flashing....flashing......:laugh: :laugh:

[PreciousPearl]

for those that didn't know Monay when she was younger, she lived in Kg China and had many many many cats, i think even more than we did. in MYF she was always very obliging when we needed someone to play piano - usually pick between Monay, Lilian Miles and Jean Lau.

i think i speak for everyone that knows her in that no one has anything bad to say of her, only good.

[monay]

CalZ- pic in hot mama thread... real mama wor..
PP- i do not think i hav more cats than u, i was really impressed when i saw the number of yours and that they really hav a milk dish. but now my mom has 5 at home, down from 10....here none, younger kid wheezes now and then, too bad..as to playing the piano during MYF...i don't think i did many times.. really tone deaf/cannot keep time at that time and cannot play by ear/chords need all the notes, admired ppl like kcfoong, zazu, jeanlau who can just sit and the piano and play...u dunno how many tears shed and butterflies i felt playing it. Not to mention, hate to practice.... Nowleh, love to play it, thankful for the lessons mummy paid, and since stepping up to join the worship team, my ear and timing has got much much better....
Alfred98- don't remember the signin chip thing, but nemermind, better not to refresh dis memory, sounds bad..

Oh all th fleshie had to get signature from the senior sitting around us in the hall, had to get something like 20 or more signature. So to get this signature we have to intro ourself and to sign it depends on the senior fancy asking us to do anything also...Then reach Ball Ung, he will asked us to go and cubit or pull a piece of hair from You lor....:laugh:

wah! Me absent for a couple of days and so already this going on...Zazu did tell me but over the weekend too many things to do....monay was well, I'd consider my best friend during our school days...and yeah, she's all what all of you say of her...and the ducklings and cats that she tried to have me adopt along the way...though one kitten did become me and my brothers' favourite cat, when she died we even built a small 'hockchew-style' grave for it....ducklings, i had to hide them from my mom by putting them under my bed but I was made to return them as soon as they were discovered. But, yeah, she was and still is a good friend though we are miles apart these days...long live monay....don't blame if you feel likeyou are reading your own obituary...:laugh: :laugh: but she's one of the kindest souls I know.

still laughs at my silliest comments and makes me laugh a lot....

[Hammerhead]

I agree with all the above comments. A thoroughly nice girl .......and lady!

We survived the 3 Stooges years(w Lilianmiles),a little scarred by the scathing remarks from dear Mr Leong our piano maestro,but nevertheless thankful that today we can play fairly well:)
I rememberd the ducklings,A7!! Monay amazingly stashed a couple of them in her piano chair (siap with newspaper lining for the duck-poo and water and food for the duckies!) in her room for a few days,ya?I can still remember the smell in your room,Monay!!:sick: Only Monay can get away with that!Tabik!

Waaahhh.. Monay,

I've enjoyed all the fantastic Praise and Worship (borrowed line from MYF.. he..he..) for you from all your admirers, both old and young...

I remember you being the cute sports gal.. but never had much chance to break ice until one day, you drop by the field with another gal (can't recall who she was now) to send a message to A. Naidu..

Unfortunately, due to my sloppy defending a few minutes earlier, the opposite team managed to put a goal up front against us. As the custom those days, we ended up that day not only shirt-less but speechless as well when we saw you giggled so hard... probably looking at (the remnants of) our "Ethiopian-famine" ribs..:laugh:

Can't forget that till now....:o

2) Golf & strollers
3) Sports such as biking, motor racing, jogging, rat race, Batu Cave race or shop til u drop.
4) Others ie football, gym & those who prefer lifting beer mugs regularly.

usually the speaker is innocent. Its the one hearing with the mind....some with serong mind. :p
in Soonker or billiards, you can put the balls in the same hole over and over again. Only golf can't. it has to be one hole after the other.

I have seen your photos with your children and your mother. I think I know your father quite well and currently he is very actively involved in serving the Sitiawan Wesley Church. He used to be my tennis buddy too. I am not too sure whether your mother remember me by name or not. Anyway, do take care and hope to see you with your family back home (i.e. our kampung).

living in hk for nearly a decade i always had live-in filipino help..... but i never allowed her to fetch me or my kids water or stuff for that matter......
if everything is remote in our daily lives, after 20 years of getting used to it...... it may make a difference to our fitness levels bcos cultivating laziness can be very hard to turn around. remember we are not getting any younger.

after dinner it becomes too easy to lepak on the lounge rather than take a walk (since some of us obviously don't need to clear the table and wash up :p )

maaf ye for lecturing...... just don't want u guys to end up with unnecessary paunch...... hehe

yeah starting them young is the only way
try curing lazy teenager? *pull out all own hair*:squeeze:

[Oddfather]

then the maid do what?
fetch water, shoes, socks, etc for you lor....

[h2o]

then the maid do what?
besides fetching glass of water, nothing else meh? fetching shoes is puppy's job ler......:laugh:
the maid has to pao ka liao mah!!! like me now loh...... cleaning floor, toilets, marketing, food prep, cooking, cleaning kitchen, scrub pots and pans, take out garbage, wash car, change bed linen, etc. wahhhhhh so many things already.... cannot finish listing, think also back-breaking liao!!! (but actually me worse.... have to work non-stop 8.30am - 5.30pm and chauffeur kids on top of all that)

it's oso not so good for our humanity ( i used to pay myr$2000 p/month for my maid in hk but cannot bleed them dry lah, they are also human.....) think of it this way, it's not their choice to be born in such a poor country into such a poverty-stricken way of life..... we are already very fortunate to have their help to do the 'dirty' work. so can do the simple one ourselves and don't wear them out entirely.

it's like this parallel i use for myself: aircon in summer or heater in winter is there to keep my comfort level tolerable so i'm not sweltering in 39deg or freezing in sub zero, so i can concentrate on what i'm doing..... some ppl i know here like to turn the aircon in the office or car to 21deg but in winter have the heater under their workstation to 30deg all day!!!! what logic is that? no wonder their face wrinkled up la! extreme dehydration is unnatural...

so also having too little physical work to do will result in a thoroughly sedentary lifestyle which i shudder to consider the consequences of when i reach 50.... anyway this is a philosophy i apply to my own life

I have seen your photos with your children and your mother. I think I know your father quite well and currently he is very actively involved in serving the Sitiawan Wesley Church. He used to be my tennis buddy too. I am not too sure whether your mother remember me by name or not. Anyway, do take care and hope to see you with your family back home (i.e. our kampung).

It's a small world isn't it, especially the world of Sitiawan. My mother remembers u, that u are 2 years her junior and actually same year with her younger brother, Ming Kooi. She has seen your pics too, but shh, i haven't told her i posted pics of her....Yes, my dad is still serving in Wesley, after by the grace of God, he kicked his gambling addiction (spent many hours and dollars at SRC).
