~ Randomly...
The atmosphere in my house for the past half hour has been excited by this black bird (it's not a crow, not a sparrow) who decided to park itself on the windowsill of my sis's bedroom. It got all of us, including Hugo and Neyney, excited and apprehensive at the same time.
The bird was allegedly injured and hence, we tried to accomodate it in a carton with offering of leftover rice. Turned out it was feeling perfectly fine, except possibly, annoyed at our kind attempt to 'save' it. I think it just enjoyed the air outside Jasmine's bedroom. Cos when we tried to chase it away, it simply refused to.
Quite funny. How my sisters started communicating with it. In Chinese, 'jiang3 niao3 hua4'. In Hokkien, 'gong2 jiao2 wei3'.
And then, when my Dad woke up from the commotion we were making, he asked why we were all so frantic and scared. It's just a bird!
And the reply was... 'bird flu!'
Bit scary. If I come down with a flu the next few days, it bodes ill. That will be a totally unexpected way to meet Dream's sister.

Started my Bahasa Indo class, intermediate level, today. As much as it was getting confusing, it was getting challenging dealing with awalan (prefix) and akhiran (suffix). Thank goodness, the grammar that all my ibus taught me during uni was not lost on me.

It feels like I just changed my bedroom. I spent the whole Sunday repainting my bedroom with my mum and my sis, Janet.
There are 3 walls of bright lime green. Very refreshing. And 1 wall of white+bright lime green. Why lime green, is because it's leftover from painting Janet's bedroom. Why white+bright lime green, is because my mum decided there wasn't enough white paint to finish that whole wall. So, I had to think on my toes and decided to have this white+green wall. And after that, added strokes of green on the old paint colour (blue) to create this grass-against-sky-and-clouds effect.
haha! And after rearranging the furniture a little, ta-da! My pretty new bedroom.
