my mood is...

...Happy! Guess what? The camp that I'm going to go for has less than 50 campers! So strange! To me at least. Haha. The last few camps I've been to had at least 100 campers. Like 300 for GY.


Love your environment

The haze is back. My eyes are watering more often, my gum is swelling and my face is more oily. Is yours experiencing the same thing too? So horrible, isn't it?

Scream bloody murder at anyone you see starting an open fire. The elderly who are asmathic, the young who cannot catch enough oxygen-everyone seems to be suffering from the open burning, which mysteriously seems to only happen at night, and mysteriously no one from the municipality seems to notice this.

When can you ever get them to notice this kind of stuff?

Anyway, do take care of you environment, it's the only one you and your kids are gonna get. So reduce, reuse, recycle and carpool. For your sake lah.

And also, our addiction to electricity is alarming!

will you let Him?

I might be shifting. Might. No, not my blog silly, I like the URL. After her loan's approved.

I want a room that has a balcony that can fit twenty. No, not really. Thirty, maybe?

Please please I also want to go to Genting with you guys!!! hahaha. Later play Chor Tai Tee all night long.

We were taught how to write resumes at English class today. Anyway, Mr. Jimmy pasted some job adverts all over the class, and one of the ads had my ex-boss' name on it! Haha. I can never escape from Dome. And the horror! No one in my class knows what a barista is!

I thought I could do it on my own. Miss Independent. But the longer I think, the more I lie to myself, it dawned upon me that it cannot happen with me alone. I really want to be there for those who are troubled, and to tell them to do what they can do: to look upon God and call upon His name. He'll pick you up from the mess that you are in, like He did with me.

He'll wash you clean and

heal your wounds,

touch your heart

and mend your soul.
That is what He can do. That is what He WANTS to do.

The question is, will you let Him?

Because God will not barge into your life. He is a gentleman and will knock on the door of your heart first.

If you let Him in like I did, a change is going to happen. ;)

"So, what do you want to do next?" he asked her.

The breeze flew past with a whoosh. The grass around their feet trembled slightly and the light yellow day moths flew out of their safe haven-the trunk of the tree they were sitting upon.

She looked all around her, and it was only the green grass and the blue sky as she can see-as if they were at the edge of the world. A few sunflowers, yet to bloom properly, fenced the field they were in. They swung gently and furiously, depending on the breeze on that day.

Black swallows flew overhead. They glanced up simultaneously to watch the birds make a formation and watched as they flew away, now fading like a small black dot.

"Really, what do you have in mind?" he asked her again, this time looking at her eyes while doing so.

Days like this you wish you could live in forever.

If I give you all my broken dreams, can you really fix them? Or even fix it right, for that matter?

Aiyoyo....stop piling things on me lah. i'm just a small girl. see, even use the small i. Not "I".

It's not just my problems that are piling on my plate, your problems, and yours, yours, and definitely yours as well are on the plate too. You don't see it, right? Ignorant *expletive* SORRY! Didn't mean that. It's just that you're so insensitive to everything around you, you know? Whenever you want me to talk to you, everything will come back to you. It's like walking through a revolving door. Elmo likes it but I don't.

U-MAE~! You've got yourself a pretty room now. Here's a tag if you're not doing anything.

E-Foong~! You do this tag too, since you missed the music meme.

Both have hypens in their names! And an alphabet before it!

only two posts today, i promise!

Sometimes it's fun to check out US' political scene. Barack Obama has a busload of supporters from the entertainment industry, as evident in the following video.

I think will.i.am composed this song. Entirely out of Obama's Yes, We Can speech, it brought together countless actors, actresses and singers-Scarlett Johannsen is one of them, along with a couple of CSI actors, and look! John Legend!



*wipes tear from eye*
John Legend, will.i.am-what a combination.

will.i.am also produced one of Legend's single, Ordinary People.
Did you know that John Legend also wrote Fergie's Finally? I thought he only accompanied her on the piano for the Grammys.
And...it comes full circle because Fergie and will.i.am are in BEP.

PS: John McCain also has a video of his own-titled No You Can't. Obviously by his detractors (sp?).

kim and gary

A/N: Stress is getting to me. I keep twitching and kan't seem to koncentrate on the books in front of me. See what i mean?
Pictures of food ahead!


Kim Gary is from Hong Kong, right? And the Mid Valley branch's food tastes better than Bukit Tinggi's, right? Entahlah...my mum, sis and I went to Aeon's to try it out, since we've heard so much about it being great, blah blah blah.
(You can see from the "blah blah blah" our first impression of Kim Gary's is not good)

Some of the food we sampled were...

Exhibit A


This is their beef in sauce in rice. The presentation of the egg is pretty, but the rawness of the egg white could put some people off.
Beef? What beef? There was no trace of beef, or any kind of meat for that matter, in the sauce. Dissapointment, this dish.

Moving on...

Exhibit B, View 1

We also had the fried chicken drumsticks, which turned out to be from aneroxic chickens (JK). The sauce was sizzling hot, and so was the meat. Tender, marinated and sizzling, this did not dissapoint us like the former.

Too bad I was too stuffed by now to enjoy this delicious dish.

It was also served with stems of broccoli, some tomato slices and corn kernels.

Exhibit B, View 2

I can't remember what drinks we had, but they were forgettable. Obviously.

The service was not up to par. Why on earth, then, did we pay 10% service tax?
So that the waiters and waitresses could get "Kim Gary Restaurant" weaved on the backs of their uniforms?
To pay for the costly construction of the outlet? (Look at the outside lah, like the Beijing Olympics Bird's Nest Stadium liddat, so don't tell me the construction didn't cost a bomb.)

To sum it up, I might go there for other food but no more sauce-flooded-rice for me, thanks. If I want curry soaked rice, mamak is the place.

i wish you all a great fantastic fabulously fierce week ahead. and do study so that i can siphon all your intelligences. thank yew.

sex and the teen

I was blog-hopping a few minutes ago and I came across Pek Kwan's post about sex, love and friendship. It's odd because just two days ago I read this article on what the bible says about pre-marital sex. Interesting read.

Solomon's Line on Pre-Marital Sex by John Thomas
(Whole article available here: Boundless Webzine)

The first time I read the Song of Songs in the Bible I thought, No. Way. I immediately grabbed a friend's Bible to see if his featured the same book. "Dude, have you read this?! This is unbelievable!"

"What? What is it?"

"Clusters, man! They're talking about climbing palm trees and taking hold of clusters! IN THE BIBLE! It's right here!" I was a teen Christian with active hormones and my grandmother's prayers were finally being answered because I suddenly developed an intense hunger for the Word. Hallelujah!

Over time, of course, I realized that the relationship described in Solomon's Song, including those face-blushing palm tree and cluster verses, occurred within a specific context. In the midst of beautiful, poetic language about the stages of a relationship that start with a glance and eventually lead to the honeymoon, the author charges us three times, "Do not arouse or awaken love until it pleases," or, as paraphrased by Eugene Peterson in The Message, "Don't excite love, don't stir it up, until the time is ripe — and you're ready." ...

That's not the whole article. To summarize the article, it basically means that although the Bible does not say anything about pre-marital sex, it's still wrong. Because...(here's another excerpt)

I ask these young, unmarried singles, does the community — your friends, family,
church — celebrate your private, sexual liaisons? When it appears that a
pregnancy might result, is there rejoicing?
No, of course not.
Why not?
The timing is wrong.
The context is
wrong.
A private affair is being forced out into the public and
is clouded by shame. You've "aroused love before its time." There will
be pain, disappointment and sadness. Compare that to the tone of Solomon's Song.
The couples' sexual life in the Song of Solomon takes place within the context
of a lifelong commitment of marriage, and the community rejoices. It will
produce grandbabies, nieces, nephews, more members of the little platoon of the
family. The couples' sex life is ultimately a social benefit. That, I say to my
young single friends, is a picture of sex in the proper context.

from Vicky's World.

For those of you who still don't get it, sex is good, and it's also holy, but is only for the enjoyment of a husband and a wife.

Any time other than that is unholy and not good.

Sex is more than a symbol of passion-it's a sign of commitment a couple show to each other, an expression of their dedication to one another's lives and to procreate, of course. Haha.

If I hit you over the head with a guitar, will you still talk to me?

Can you see it? Here...(makes me want to make one)


Oh, and I got a letter from BluInc and 20th Century Fox! Praise the Lord, yay!



Earlier this month...

Thank God for the opportunity. Been praying since the recruitment ad came out.

Ohkay, you guys are probably sick that I'm pushing all this to your faces. But believe me when I say the situation which I am placed in now is tough-mentally, physically, spiritually. It just seems bright and sunny because I'm making it seem bright and sunny you nimwit.

Yeah yeah so I shouldn't keep it bottled inside. With all due respect, when I bottle a grudge, I throw the bottle away. When I put away a bad feeling, I burn it as well. Nothing negative will rule in my heart because I don't allow it to. I just wish some people could understand that decision and respect it.

When the ground is parched and cracked, and not suitable for
any plant to grow on, all you want to see is some water. You can have that
water.

Also, sometimes it seems as if no one cares for the person I'm caring for now. I'm sorry I can't offer you any help. I'm not as mature as you'd want any of us to be, and you're still too young to handle this on your own. Sometimes I kick myself because I pray so much for you and still you're not going to church. Faith can grow, yes, but in what environment?

Jesus answered, "You don't know what God wants to give you, and you don't
know who is asking you for a drink. If you did, you would ask me for the water
that gives life."

"Sir," the woman said, "you don't even have a
bucket, and the well is deep. Where are you going to get this life-giving water?
Our ancestor Jacob dug this well for us, and his family and animals got water
from it. Are you greater than Jacob?"

Jesus answered, "Everyone who
drinks this water will get thirsty again. But no one who drinks the water I give
will ever be thirsty again. The water I give is like a flowing fountain that
gives eternal life."

John 4:10-14

"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it is going to be a butterfly"

Have you a friend who doesn't have the stunning drop-dead gorgeous looks, and has no photogenic gene in her, so every picture she's in turns out strange, like some Picasso drawing?

There was one such girl I knew from school-an aquaintance. The bubbliest, and friendliest, and she has a big heart. I'm not close to her though.

None of my friends know that I know her-but I wish they do, because then they would seriously see something that would be worth thinking about.


I'm not ashamed to confess this-I once tried to picture her in what boys would call a pretty girls' body.

You know the type-
long hair,
sharp chin,
fair skin,
high cheeckbones,
natural blush,
double eyelid,
long eyelashes,
plump lips,
and of course, STICK THIN-

and to be honest, I think she would be treated much more better than she were by the people around her. You know what, SCREW those people around her.

Screw the people who say beauty isn't skin deep.

Beauty is deceptive.

tonight, we dine in hello!

It's my 300th post.


So there's an assignment, right, about smoking, and I decided, for the fun of it, to Google one sentence of her essay to see if it's plagiarised or not.

Oh my goodness, it was.

Methinks it's time to stop doing group work. i'm always the one doing every single thing, down to bossying them to sign the cover sheet, and the bibliography. Grr. Even had to edit their parts, which seem totally un-editable. Maklumlah, kerja copy dan paste pe...But please, don't pity me. Pity the people who copied and pasted.

On the bright side, that assignment is off my back!

Went to Jon's birthday party yesterday evening. It was fun, and segregation was so present, it was like water and oil. Like, these are from church, those are from school. And those are from 5S1, and these are from the other classes.

It was great to see the people from school again. Even funnier were people shouting "Oi, somebody cry lah!" after several heart-tugging performances.


Happy birthday Jon!

Recently I read a book of my sisters', titled Loving Danny by Hilary Freeman. Sounds like Million Dollar Baby right? (Hilary) Swank and Morgan (Freeman), see? No? Sigh.

I know what you're thinking: pre-teen chick lit.

That, my dear friend, is so true.

Loving Danny is about Naomi, a nineteen year old on her gap year (before going to Uni, after A-Levels) meeting the lead singer of a band (called the Wonderfulls) and their romance grows throughout the whole book.

If you must know, Freeman writes for CosmoGirl! and is married to a rockstar. So you know where she gets her inspiration from.

This novella is set in London, where the English always have dry humor and strange weathers. Not that I'm complaining, the garden-date part was interesting to read. Yes, it ends with rain. How typical.

But not all is as cherry as it seems, because...Danny has a penchant of cutting himself. (Yeah I rolled my eyes too) The storyline is somewhat predictable, but I gave Naomi a little cheer at the end when she made up her mind on what to do with Danny. She smiles 'cos she deserves to.

There's nothing much in this book that is likeable, but it does shine at Yellow bar, where Naomi and Danny get to know one another more. Another plus is the thing that Freeman tries to work with the newer stuff of the people of this age-i.e., making Danny's band a profile on MySpace (which is not mentioned in the book, only through the web URL in the book-www.thewonderfulls.co.uk.)

Introducing...the M we missed!!!

(for people who just missed the opportunities to snag not-for-sale MTVAA tickets, they seem pretty happy)
(Of course. We ate at a place happier than Happy Village!)

Saturday morning: English class
Afternoon: "Use NKVE lah, no jam wan!" Alright. So the five of us piled into Ivan's car.
An hour later: "Eh, look! Carrefore Kapar!" -_-"
10 minutes later: Stuck in the Klang Jam. En route to Damansara, yes, yes.
Half an hour later: We overshooted to KL. Sigh.

"Go chee cheong kai lah!"
"Oh, but no Justin!"
"Got. Ciplak,"

Hey, what's that? Looks like a U-turn sign.

Dragon Ball

Be Responsible

The other day I saw a really really old man, wrinkly forehead, hunched back and all, climbing in slowly into a drain next to a shop. You know those kind-four feet deep, full of human waste, leftover food and toxic stuff.

And with his bare hands, he slowly picked up a bunch of unrecognisable lump of rubbish from between his legs in the drain. Plastic bags, ice-cream wrappers, papers, etc-it was all in that bundle of trash.

He did this again for the next stretch of drain-and climbed out by dragging himself out of the dark and smelly hole with his hands, now stained by dirt.

Please don't torture old men like that. Throw your rubbish responsibly, into the dustbin, not into the drain like some idiot with no education.

The little girl in that precocious little dress turned her nose up at the delicious caramel pudding in front of her.

"I wanted vanilla pudding," she said, crossing her chubby arms as a sign of displeasure. She couldn't have been older than five, but there she was, being bratty and ungrateful.

With the increase in prices and the current state of the economy, everyone's turning to direct selling.

Why bloggers are dangerous, according to my sister:

"I am dangerous! With my words! BEWARE!"

I like to be with people who know who they are.
A sense of identity,
a sense of contentment with what they do,
and a sense that they know they can control their lives
by just controlling what they do and think.

One Thing To Learn Today:
"Mosh Pit Audience"
-A mosh pit is typically a small area directly at the front of a concert stage, most of the time occupied by trendy, hip, "cool" young adults screaming and jumping along to the music at the concert.
-Sometimes, a lead singer of a band will stage dive into a mosh pit.
-MTV Asia Awards 2008 is looking for Mosh Pitters! I'm not going to tell you where and when 'cos i don't support these kinda stuff. =P (bring on the roadshow though)


Wednesday started with IT classes.

Someone along the corridor of the computer lab shouted "MATHS CLASS CANCELED!" along the quiet hallways. Shouts of jubilant happiness echoed throughout the college as a dozen of us or so marched down to Rejab (which is actually a month in the Islamic calender) to eat.

Janelle's deliciously peppery mutton rendang on rice had everyone salivating at one end of the table. 100% more delicious than it looks.





Someone said another class in the afternoon was also canceled, so someone on the other end of the table suggested that we all go watch Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3D at Pyramid. Personally I would have rather went on a Window Shopping Journey All Around Pyramid, but movies are all right.



It was also our first time passengering in WH's car.

Janelle (Beginning of journey): "Luckily my mum bought insurance!"
Janelle (After a near crash): "I lied! I lied! I don't have insurance!"

Mirrors.
Uh, escalators.
Mirrored escalators.
Escalating mirrors?


After the somewhat hilarious movie, the first shop in our line of sight was Catch Up. It sells t-shirts with funny quotes like

"One boyfriend is not enough"
"It's hard to be single"

Entertaining and somewhat trendy. Somewhat, because some tees may not appeal to sensitive people.
Anyhoo, I bought this white shirt with Audrey Hepburn (Breakfast at Tiffany's!) on it. Very pop-art.

Then, I wanted to look for the shop that had lots of white compartments in it. Kind of like pasar malam, I told the receptionist. The name of the shop was very vagueto us-Iona and I were sure we came across it through a mirror ala Alice in Wonderland. With the many mirrors at Pyramid I'm not surprised we didn't enter a hyperquardrum dimension!

We finally found it after dragging people through floors and floors of expensive looking shops. Marks and Spencer taught us a thing about marketing-like this nifty survey taker thingy:



And this packet of animal biscuits were soo cute!


Says Rachel (RaShell): "What? That's for animals?"

Ok ok the "pasar malam" shop's name is In Q Box. Sounds like Incubus, no? The concept is from Singapore. Here's a picture from Wee Han's blog of it:



Anyway, after a long-winded discussion on where the heck Happy Village (Taman Gembira haha) was, we all went home.

At Happy Village Restaurant...
We ate. (Baked cheese with mushrooms and chicken ham strips)


We gulped. (Cold carrot milk)


We made lame jokes and giggled over a picture of Wai How.


And....we saw an adorably cute baby covering his face when he saw us! (Dear baby, if you're reading this, i'm sooo sorry for posting this picture without your mom+dad's permission. You were just so kawaii-neh~!)




Thank God for a great day with great people.

The second best music video I've seen to date...

...is Live's Heaven from their 2003 album, Birds of Pray. Can you believe there's only 97 views of the MV on YouTube? It's also quite hard to look for it since the band's name and the song title are common.

What's harder is information on the location where this MV was shot-Wikipedia has nothing on it!

Potrait

Pretty? This one was taken during the March holidays at Aeon shopping center. The "iceless" ice-skating rink was the main attraction then. Only children under the age of 12 could utilise it. =P

i scream for God.

After buying product X for a really stupid amount which I shall not mention simply because it will prove that I have zero skills in the bargaining department, and bringing product X home, I found out that the label on product X says "DVD". *sigh*

Ah, forget about it.

Maybe this wasn't going to be as fun as I thought. Sitting, doing nothing-not even a hint of music in the air, no pre-rally videos played-nothing. It would have been more fun to walk around and meet the people I have met before, not remembering their names at all.

Of course, any gathering with lots of people only emphasises my really-bad-with-name thing. Honestly, I don't know half the names of the people I met there. It's sad, but hey, at least I remember that you've made an impact in my life!

I sat with people who were no longer in school-and felt like senior citizens, hoho.

Halfway through the video presentation, an adult, rather bald, came to us with pink fliers in his hand. Jehovah Witnesses? Political party? WHADDAHECK MAN. He told us "Hello, we're having a meeting at the other side of the field about the recent petrol hike-"

"EXCUSE ME SIR! We are TEENAGERS! You're not supposed to be here!" after I told him off, I walked quickly to the end, where I saw three guys with usher tags and told them about the politically-driven man in the crowd. Thank God the man left with a smile on his face. God bless you man, these are people trying to find God, and here you are teaching them about politics?

Also had fun screaming. I overheard the person sitting behind us saying: "Have to boil liang teh for her!"

I guess the rally was alright. To me, the highlight was Lifehouse's Everything skit. That was quite worth it, and for a while I forgot about Fusion Fiesta. Everything in the skit was exactly the same as the original skit you can find on YouTube-The black-white shirt, the evils-all very apt.

Though I left it feeling rather empty. Why? Why was the rally so a+b+c=d?

Went to college today, too. Saw lots of people. What are you guys doing there, it's a Saturday morning!


Wee Han, you're tonnes of fun.

Things running in your brain

It's 1am. I've been tossing and turning for half an hour-still can't sleep.

So many things are running through my mind!
Like Duffy's Warwick Avenue. It keeps playing in my brain. So itchy.

KTM
Destination: Subang Jaya
Listening to: Home-Michael Buble



Looking at this picture reminds me of the loneliness of being alone on the KTM, to a destination where I knew no one, and no one knew me. Listening to this song merely adds "chim"-ness (ask your Hokkien-speaking friends what it means) to the wound.


But the loneliness was to teach me that there is a big world out there-one we cannot know unless we venture ourselves.

Anyway, I am nothing but thankful now that there's tonnes of humans to meet everyday at school.



Just the other day I had lunch with twenty or so people. There was another table of six behind us-



And just today we saw a bunch of A-Level freshies marching to the hall! Yay. But the ones I'm looking forward to is the big batch of ADP short semester freshies. Muahahaha.



For extra marketing classes, we're supposed to wear office clothes. So it was surprising to see so many people wearing white today!

(thanks Wei Wei for not moving your hand)


Mirror image!


Now I don't feel so lonely anymore =D


"God sets the lonely in families..."-Psalm 68:6

Bullet news!

A picture I took got published in the RAGE pullout! All glory to God. (See, taking pictures of your food does pay off. Well, not for me, but for the winner. Still!)

This is the original picture. (Teluk Gong, Father's Day)

Oh, and Mr. Victor (MKT 113) gave out sweets today, and there was only one of this in the container. Cute right? The ice-cream tastes better though.

And can anyone decipher what House meant when he said:
"I know how to kill a man with my thumb!"
And Cuddy replies:
"Who doesn't?"

How? By SMS? Injecting lethal poison into the bloodstream with a syringe?


Katy Perry's I Kissed A Girl would receive much more air time and be loved more if it were sung by a boy in the sixties. Plus, it wouldn't be censored then like it is now.

Anyway, I'm sure the song doesn't make sense in some parts of the world where people of the same sex kiss one another as a sign of hello. I see this song as a plea for attention-what isn't new now?

You have girls assuring themselves that having their hearts Damaged is good, because it shows their "vulnerability" and "innocence".


You have kids wanting to be famous and rich When They Grow Up.

Now, I don't have anything against these songs-they have catchy beats and addictive tunes, and the PCD's video for When I Grow Up is very artsy in a way. I just wished they'd sing about stuff that matter, like

"Your worth is not defined by your work, but by your spirit, your heart and your compassion to others."-What Color is Your Parachute? (book)

FINE so I'm being philosophical now. So what? People, it's time to get out from that cocoon you've been living in for so long.


And ask yourself:
"Do you see yourself as part of the problem,
or part of the solution?"

Thank you and good night.

Oh, and I'll try not to post too serious stuff next time. Maybe some camwhoring and clubbing pictures.

waking up everyday for all the right reasons

You were my sun
You were my earth

This is why I prefer Fly FM. After playing Bye Bye they play Justin Timberlake.

Supposed to be doing the online quiz. But can't log in, so... ;P Esok mesti buat.

Oh, my mum just told me the strangest and funniest thing. One of my cousins missed call her while at church. When my mum called back, my cousin told her that he and my aunt (his mom) wanted to know if she has one of our relative's blog address. One word: Scandal!

Since my first post, I've welcomed both my parents to view this blog. I've never posted anything scandalous (because nothing scandalous ever happens to me), but I think it's safe to do so anytime now, because they don't visit here.

After dinner last Sunday, we all went to Aeon.
I wanted to buy something after seeing Khadijah's Dressing Room pictures she took at FOS.

There wasn't anything at FOS that looked good on me. What caught my eye were the stripey long sleeved Old Navy shirt and elbow-length Old Navy shirt with boat neck cut in various sunshiney colors. SRS didn't have new stock. Left both empty handed.

Speedy and Popular still do not stock Viva La Vida. I'm giving up on that.

So I suggested that we all go to Padini. We used the Harvey Norman escalator so that my sis and I could check out the DSLR prices. Yes, that is what we are eyeing:

a) Canon
b) DSLR
c) Camera

She tested the EOS 40D. Forgot how much that one costs. I told her to get one that is not DSLR since she's not even a professional photog (she wanted the studio camera!), but come to think of it, it might not be a bad thing to get one.



40D

Me: (to mum) OK, so how much are you going to sponsor (for the family camera)?
Mum: One thousand.
Sis: Five thousand more to go!

However, we left that shop empty handed. Still need to go camera hopping, since the Digital Rebel XT is not on sale there. YESSSHHH that is so much more better.

There were no nice clothes at Padini, but there was a pair of slippers at Vincci that I like. Too thin straps though, so it's totally inconvinient. Then we went to Brands Outlet and there they were! They looked so pretty.




I even considered getting my ear lobe holes pierced again just to wear them! (The old earlobe holes closed like 9 years ago) I hate pain though. But I still like the design! So I bought it at RM 5.50 (20% off, yay)


check out the design! like some fence or batik pattern.

So when I got home, I disassembled the hook and ta-DAH!



Uhm. That's all I guess. Oh yeah, and he doesn't read this, but Happy Birthday Caleb! May God's blessing and favour be upon you.


the nyummy fruity cake. and juicy grapes!


family potrait. guess who's the mum?

And congratulations Ivan on passing your driving test!
