The following is a transcript of an SMS conversation that happened on a dark and stormy Friday evening not too long ago.

Laydiefa: Jam teruk giler..
Me: I'm also caught in one at PJ. Sigh. Layan lalak ajelah.
Laydiefa: No wonder it hasn't stopped raining.. haihh
Me: Dah memang hujan, layan aje la.
Laydiefa: Yeah.. it made me cancel my plan to nokia starlight cinema tonight. Thank you Mr Redzuan! Thank yousss! :-P
Me: Aniiiiii.. angkat kain jemuraaaaaaan, hujan dah turuunnnnn...
Laydiefa: Wahahahaha.. so when its gonna be 'jemuran dah turunnnnn'?
Me: Bila kita sampai rumah.
Laydiefa: Which for me, could mean another 15 minutes.. look at the sky. Macam nak hujan lagi lebat. What kind of song are you singing ni?
Me: Oh Carol
Laydiefa: Fine. I'm committing suicide. :))

So, not only do the music I play are ear bleeding, they're suicide inducing as well. I'm seriously considering starting a cult. No teapots involved. Crackpots and pinheads may apply.

An SMS dropped into my cellphone this morning:

Invitation for Sky Kingdom club membership in Terengganu beach front. Offers multi religious experience, daily tea party (giant teapot available) & a chance to sit next to the father of all pinheads, Ayah Pin. Remember, the sky is the limit! Hurry get your PIN digit now!

Earliest recorded moment of a budding bedroom DJ spinning songs and possibly having a dig at his nasal cavities while he's at it.

The kid went on to become a bedroom DJ alright, except instead of scratching records, he scratches his own rear end.

And today Adek turns another year older. Everybody say "Happy Birthday, Adek!"

I'm still convinced till today that Ayah wanted a birthday present in the form of a kid that year. He almost got his wish. Adek decided to pop out a couple of days later instead. She's still confounding Ayah till today. Heehee! We all love her just the same nonetheless.

Anyone can be a father. But it takes a heckuva dude to be a Dad. Especially when you have yours truly as the junior.

Happy Birthday, Ayah.

Just in case if that upcoming local reality TV show Mencari Cinta doesn't cut it for you overdue bachelors (or bachelorettes) out there, there's always Abang Best:
