vs
well, portugal lost to france in the semi final...but hey you win some you lose some...but i'm glad that italy and france are in the final..if any teams deserve to be in the final, it's the italians and the french...they've defied so many odds and endure much criticisms to earn themselves a place in the final..so an interesting final beckons on sunday...cant wait! :-)
so anyways, my mum and my neighbour had their usual morning chat just now... about my bro, bout me and bout a friend of theirs whose baby innocently, unkowingly and accidentally ate his/her (i forgot lah girl or boy) own poop! i'm serious!!well, actually the subject wasnt really about us it was about superstitions.. i learnt 2 superstitions today
1) This one is about younger siblings marrying before the older ones... they called it 'lankah bendul'... my dad and my mum think my bro has a girlfriend u see..he kept denying it but u noe parents... its like they have some kind of girlfriend/boyfriend detectors on them.. i've heard of 'langkah bendul' before but i dun really noe the rules and what not... so this neighbour of mine mentioned that if my brother were to marry before me then he have to present me with a gift so as to prevent me from rotting till old age without a husband... when she mentioned 'gift', my eyes instantly lit up and i had this really wide evil grin on my face... kinda like The Grinch..hahah! No... i'm not evil or greedy...but it's nice to get gifts from brothers...
2) The baby who ate poop? well the mother did washed and cleaned the baby..but the mother, being superstitious also went to 7 houses to get a handful of rice from each house... the purpose of collecting the rice? i have no idea coz my neighbour and my mum got side tracked and moved on to another topic...typical....
now do i believe in all these? not really... but i do follow some of them coz my mum does and so did my grandmother...and my great great grandmother...and so on and so forth...
so moving on...now i've been to several concerts but never a nasyid (people singing songs bout islam) concert...my aunt called me out of the blue and asked me to accompany her to go to one tomorrow..so after several "huhs?", "errrrs", and "ermmms", i eventually agreed... coz i had this feeling that it would be sinful if i decline...haha! So i dunno how it's gonna be like.. but i'll write about it soon....hehe...should be interesting...
Just watch my wildest dreams come true;
None of them Involving You...
