Return of the Errant Blogger

Asek-asek la Return katanya kan. Lostnya berjuta-juta tahun.

Buuuut. I am here yet again. Jenguk-ing my blog, and again, amazed and surprised to find that it actually still exists.

First I would like to let everyone know (ok, ‘everyone’ would constitute me, and Nicks by proxy when i (sort of) read the posts to her) that I thank you, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, for bringing me back to my blog.

Actually, I am in error.

Accolades must be given to my erstwhile kidnappers, FOXY and MIMS (in caps ok, because they deserve it, y’all).  I love you forever and more sistahs!

It is them, the Bonnie & Bonnie team, the Kopitiam Duo, the ‘Matching Handbags While We Kidnap’ Tag Team who initiated all this.

How diabolical they sound, when Foxy called me one day and said: “Akak! We are kidnapping you on your birthday! Ko jangan buat plan lain plak!” Akak: “Baiklah” (note that i am ever the obliging Kidnapee). And after putting down the phone, these noble criminals (so they’d like to believe la kan) sms-ed me “Jangan lupa bawak baju tukar & baju tido!”. Hm.

Eh. Nak citer pasal benda lain sebenarnya. Ter-cerita pasal penculik pulak.

Sooooo Aaaaaaanyways.

They bundled me in the car, and told me to go to sleep until we reached the unknown destination. And it was a non-smoking car. How they torture me, these hardened, heartless kidnappers. And until today, I had no idea where we were. Serious. But we went for The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale, as it turned out. I was blase about it at first. After all I’d gotten my fill of e-books in my phone. You name it, I got it. But I haad to wonder off in the Crafts & Hobbies section la kan. To be fair, it was near the entrance.

And so I got my stash, courtesy of my sistahs. Really  cheap, the books. All of yous should try to make it next year, if they have it.

And so (Thank you God), I have finally come to the POINT of this post. I was just browsing through Stephanie’s books, nearly fell over laughing, and grabbed the only two books of hers that i can find. And thus, I am now reading her books simultaneously.

 This one, I read at home. Because every time I read it, my hands either itches to start knitting, or to blog about my own experiences (ewah. bertahun-tahun and still at the status of ‘Novice Knitter’, sumore want to document experience all. ceh). Of course,  I ended up going to bed instead of doing either of these things kan.

 This one, I’ve just started reading, and VOILA! here I am taking hours and hours just to get to this point in my writing. Artistic temperament and all that, you see.

Checkout her blog, The Yarn Harlot (which I will also, once i’ve finished this). Hilarious stuff.

But I am inspired. Really.

And i HAVE been knitting. Really.

And I shall get back to showing my prowess (or I so i have deluded myself to believe) in here.

Soooon my pretty.. sooon.
