Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-03-07

March 7th, 2010
  • Found out I have osteoarthritis in my right knee. The suspects: martial arts, lots of driving, genetics, & yeah I’m getting old. #
  • My doc gave me an injection in my knee & said it’ll hurt a till tomorrow. I love doctors’ penchant for understatement. #ow #
  • Ok, Seemic Look is buggy. Where’s the rest of that previous tweet? #
  • Waa si Rais langsung tak suka benda2 rojak. Orang, bahasa…mana dia nak cari orang dan bahasa yg dia suka? Sini takde. #
  • #yorais, I rasa lebih baik u cepat pensyen. Kerja yg u buat tak sesuai untuk orang yg tak faham dunia moden. #
  • Eh maaf ye, silap tadi, bukan pensyen tapi pencen…alamak, tu pension kan? Ya Allah BI telah diracuni oleh BI! Tidaaak! #yorais, tolong! #
  • eh silap lagi. BM telah diracuni oleh BI. Diracuni! Tidaaaak! #
  • And what was up with that host? That guy a mob enforcer or something? #
  • Ok, baik i tak tulis dalam BM malam ni. Tak reti. #yorais, I’m going to change my mode now, boleh tak? #
  • Sarimah Ibrahim’s cute but she needs to stop getting Ronald McDonald to do her makeup. #
  • All I really got from that interview is that Rais can count backwards from 10 in English. Terer lah si Rais. Next! Eh maaf…seterusnya! #
  • Ok, either the painkillers aren’t working, which would suck, or this IS the painkillers working, which would suck. #
  • Maaan got some wicked hiccups here. #
  • My doc was right: right knee feels way better today. Not 100% but I can walk without a limp. Nice. #
  • Some last-minute 2nd thoughts re A2’s name, but I doubt we can change it since Al already calls him by a certain name. #
  • I’ve had wicked hiccups since last night; now the baby has them as well. I took Gavison. If A2 would come out, maybe we could help him haha. #
  • We’re all watching Glee when suddenly Al shakes his head at the cheerleading coach & yells “Jahat!” (evil) #
  • The cheerleading coach on Glee would make a good love interest for Dr. House. Just imagine THAT crossover. #
  • Gotta love David Letterman singing O Canada, even if it does sound like crap. #
  • So far no hiccups today. They were so bad last night they woke me up, Leen too. Al somehow slept through it. #
  • Not surprised The Star didn’t name the zoo they were shaming today. They are spineless, after all. #
  • Hey, my country has a backwards right-wing govt too: Gay rights section nixed for immigrants’ guide http://bit.ly/cfgKfJ #
  • #yorais, when #ZulWalks maybe you should follow. And keep on walking. #
  • If you haven’t read my take on what Rais said, please take a look & feel free to comment. http://bit.ly/c3u2pz #
  • It’s amazing how many ppl fall for the whole ‘you can see who views your profile’ stuff on FB. #
  • #yorais, how can your govt reverse the brain-drain if you make Msians married to foreigners want to stay away? #
  • I keep hesitating to pull the trigger on a blog post abt the whole Al-Islam/Catholic Church issue. Tempting but I’ll get myself deported. #
  • Just looking for an excuse to share my own ‘Undercover Holy Communion Infiltration’ story. What. Doesn’t everyone have one of those? #
  • We’re going into the labour room. Here we go! #
  • Man, my wife’s a trooper. I knew that, but just sayin’. #
  • She says, “Oh poor you,. you must be tired.”
    “Um, it’s ok darling. I’m not the one having a baby here.” #
  • Dentist have strong forearms. Dentist in labour? Popeye. #
  • Finally! Aaron Yusuf Macvay, 3.68kg, born 07 Mar, 5.56am (via csec) #
  • Thanks to everyone for the kind wishes, & thanks to Azlin for helping me ‘live tweet’ Aaron’s birth! #
  • had a wee nap at home, now off to the hospital again to see Leen & Aaron. Real sleep later (I fear later=2012). #
  • What a day! I’m home with Al now. He’s sleeping next to me. Feeling really blessed. Well, that and exhausted. Going to sleep like a rock! #
