Jo's Three

"Internet was down whole day yesterday, when, of all the time, the bosses were not around..Hmmm.
But today It is up and crawling.. Boleh laaa."

Kerna Menyahut seruan pelawaan O2..Word 'Seruan' tidak bisa sebut. Ianya akan Mengundang Kecubitan Amat. He he.


THREE NAMES YOU GO BY

* White Horse - Pronounce as wek os. As a toddler, I was bedsheet white. My Late Uncle Pok Uteh call me by this name, during those Craven A, Peter Stuyvesen days. It was my late Nenek made it official.
* Ari - Earlier on during childhood days among the siblings and close friends.
* T*j*- During Secondary School and U. Still I could go along with this name. The sex-ier version would be Jo. Just Jo. "Haaaaiii Jo"


THREE SCREEN NAMES YOU HAVE HAD

* Tj - Earlier.
* JoKontan - Jo from Kontan (he he,. that’s easy huh ?)
* Jo Numb, Jo Master, Jo Rempit, Jo Blurr, and Slow Jo.


THREE PHYSICAL THINGS YOU DON'T LIKE ABOUT YOURSELF

Haiyoo.. talking ‘bout over the top, superconfident dude, Weeeii takdorklaa.. (Cheh Jo !)
Laaaa ada laa.
* Growing ubans on the sides. Pepagi dok menempeeek kat cermin.
* Leher starts to meng-gle-ber. Hopefully it won't end up like a Turkey.
* Pinggang ni,.. un-conformfortable sokmo. Saket dork. Dok selesa.
Can Kememe be consider as Physical ?

THREE THINGS THAT SCARE YOU

* This is easy. Oh my God, I am really afraid of bumpy ride in an airplane. My hand goes numb and berpeloh. Nok wat Guaner ?
* Riding in a (yet again) bumpy boat. Afiqa (yes) used to tease me, Abah muntah macam air paip keluar. (Ohh Shaddap..)
* Dreaming that I am still in school and didn’t make the grade. Berpeloh each and everytime. Mujorr..


THREE OF YOUR EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS

* Minum air suam sebelum tidor.
* Flush it all just after waking up.
* Drink tea / coffee, whatever on the table, before the morning starts.


THREE OF YOUR MOST TREASURED POSSESIONS

Treasured possession. Hmmmp. Takdork. I think most of things are just mere tools. Getting things done. Boleh kaaan.
I like my Elegance Scooter. Again, I don’t treasure it.
Hmmp, lemme think again.
* Mebbe my Pagoda shirts. All of them. Last count, I have 12 with sleeve and 4 without sleeve. I wear them everyday, one at a time, without fail.
* My 12-year-old "tok bejenih" Mountain Bike with kid carrier on the back.


THREE THINGS YOU ARE WEARING RIGHT NOW

* My glasses laa, of course.
* My 6 year old Tissot. I feel somewhat awkward now, if somebody is wearing the same boria piece. Baii just bought his, a month ago. Whenever he is around I would pull down my sleeve. Sorokk. Hmmp.
* He he, My pagoda shirt laa.


THREE OF YOUR FAVOURITE BANDS OR MUSICAL ARTISTS

This is easy.

Wei ada lagi.

* Purple Rain – Prince.
* Gerimis Senja - Alley Cats
* Bunyi Meriam on Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overtures. Can this be considered a song oso aaa ?


THREE THINGS YOU WISH YOU HAVE BUT WHICH YOU DO NOT HAVE RIGHT NOW

* Ohh, That Brand Spanking New Silver Camry 2.4 with PlasmaCluster aircond and with 17 inch oh-so-ensem & montok-like-me tyre. Of Course with Kontanite CBY 6500 plate number. Whoaa.. Dah 2 malam asyik dok mimpi nii. But this is just a passing dreamthought. 2 years down the road. I am quite sure, it'll be something else.
* Osim I Symphony Massage chair with music. Dah braper kali try dah kat kedai nii ?
* Tropicana Non-Golf Membership. I could start again swimming with kids.

THREE THINGS YOU WANT TO DO REALLY BADLY RIGHT NOW

  • Hi Jo,

    I have done the same "3 things" before (slightly different from yours)... very interesting!!! Certain questions I cannot even answer it immediately ....kena fikir panjang... Good for muhasabah diri jugak!

    The 3 things you don't like can't be avoided bila dah "senior" ni. Tapi uban boleh boleh di warnakan, problem leher & pinggang tu come with the age....tak boleh elak ...

    Anyway ...have a happy aidil adha & happy new year. Balik konton ke raya ni?

    ff

  • RMS Nazrah : The best ones are worn more than 2 years. It has developed unique smell. Nak kata Bachin tak. Nak kata harum pun tak. The mid-bottom part pun udah naturally shaped to accomodate the extra you-know-what.

    Now thinking nak ker Porto Romano ker or Go kart for Piqa's coming besday.


    Cikgu Mok Gemma : Hau du yu no Ai rid in Jamban ? Haiyoo. seme llaaki sama ker ? :-)
    Walauapapun, itu saja material dan masa yang ada unutk bacaan.
    That tissot is pre Owen. Not bad aa. udah tercampak sana sini dan boleh tahan lagi.

  • Bro Jo, alahai... tak tahan nak gelak la baca your entry kali ni. Sebab dok cuba pronounce dalam hati the words in your slang kontan tu (terconfused with loghat kelate).

    I especially like the pay ALL (note: capital letters) the bills & full time supir. Two thumbs up!!! Kegemaran para ibu-ibu. hahaha....

    Salam Aidil Adha,
    Ibu

    Kak Teh : Alahaaii.
    Datang jugak KT di sini. (Ni rasa macam bintang pujaan hatiku datang ke rumah laa.. he he)
    Ku tunggu dan menunggu N3..



    RMS Nazrah and including Mr Boss :
    2 hours to SG !! You people ought to be put in jail and give a good whack of rotaaaannss.

    and that's not Zippy Carrera. More like warping, swooshing one. (Haiiiyoooo..)
