Thaipusam

Geshi'r fraint o ymweld â Gwyl Thaipusam fore Sadwrn. Gan ein bod fod i gychwyn am 5.00yb penderfynodd Ian a fi i aros fyny drwy'r nos (ddim yn annodd pan doedden ni ddim adra tan 3.00yb).

Cyrhaeddodd Kris y gyrrwr tacsi am 4.30yb, felly roedd hi'n banics gwyllt i ddeffro Alice a Gareth er mwyn cael cychwyn. Yn amlwg roedd y ddau ohonom dal 'di meddwi, ond mi sobrish fyny reit gyflym ar ôl cyrraedd.

Roedden ni wedi cyrraedd Ogofau Batu am tua 5.20yb, ac yn barod roedd miloedd o bobl eisoes wedi cyrraedd. Roedd y profiad o weld yr holl bobl 'ma yn cerdded i'r ogofau, ynghyd a'r cerflun newydd o'r Arglwydd Murugan, sy'n 140 troedfedd ac wedi'i baentio gyda aur, yn hollol wefreiddiol.

Roedd nifer o'r bobl mewn trans, a llawer o'r rheiny wedi unai rhoi sciwer trwy eu bochau, neu rhesi o fachau yn eu cefnau, er mwyn i eraill eu tynnu'n ôl.

Gadawon ni am 10.00yb, wedi blino'n lân, ac yn cesio digymod â be roedden ni wedi gweld. Cyn gadael, cafodd Ian ac Alice eu cyfweld gan deledu Croatia, yna i'r tacsi ac adra i gysgu.

Dwi wedi rhoi chwe llun ar Flickr, wir yr ma' nhw werth i'w gweld.

Cyfarchion o Falaysia!

Dwi'n Kuala Lumpur am fis efo'r cwrs 'ma, yn dysgu am rhyngweithioldeb (interactivity?) gyda'r bobl hoffus yn Lim Kok Wing a Mygo.

Eshi i barti Blwyddyn Newydd Cheiniaidd dydd Llun, a yfad lagyr a chwara cardia efo'r hogia. Geshi hefyd y fraint amheus o gael bwyta sgwid amrwd efo saws Hoi Sin. Gofynnon nhw i ni ganu, ond roedd hi ond yn 5.00 o'r gloch ac o'n i ond wedi cael 10 can bach, felly dim y tro yna. Ella cyn i ni fynd adra.

Dwi wedi bod yn reit brysur yn ystod y dydd gyda'r cwrs, ac felly heb gael llawer o liw haul, ond 'da ni am fynd i weld yr wyl Hindwaidd Thaipusam yn yr Ogofau Batu dydd Sadwrn felly ella fyddai'n frownach wedi hynny. Thaipusam ydi'r un lle ma' nhw'n sticio darnau o fetal yn eu cyrff er mwyn dangos eu ymroddiad i'r ffydd. Nyts. Dwi'n mynd a camera gyda fi felly gobeithio caf i luniau ar Flickr erbyn nos Sul (mae 'na luniau fyny eisoes yma: www.flickr.com/photos/alicerothwell/).

Eniwe, rhaid i fi fynd i neud yn siwr bod i dal yn 34 gradd tu allan!

Ffortiwn!

Geshi neges ddiddorol gan y bonwr Usman Adama, sydd mae'n debyg yn reolwr banc yn Ouagadougou Burkina Faso. Mae'n gofyn am fy help i gael $11.5m allan o'r wlad. A pwy ydw i i droi neb i ffwrdd? Dyma beth oedd ganddo i ddeud:
How are you and your family i hope fine? Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics. By introduction, I am, a branch manager in one of the most reputable financial institutions here in Ouagadougou Burkina Faso. I would love to build up a solid foundation with you in time coming if you can be able to help me in this business proposal.

Since after his death the kindred were seeking by all means/ways to take over the money which King made his son next of kin/beneficial of the money, yes it was upon my notice for their kindred effort, I decided to help the child and secure this money abroad, for investment, so that his father's kindred will not take over his belongs, which they were planning to do without any consent of the boy because in their culture in the town stated that any “King dead without male issue above 24 year his king title will be taking away to another family including some of heritages properties from Government”.

Felly anfonais ymateb yn syth:
My dear Mr Adama,

Thank you kindly for your message. Although unexpected, it does meet my personal ethics and I fully sympathise with your predicament. My family are indeed fine: the incident reported in the Llanbidinodyn Times (which you may have heard about) was blown out of all proportion - I was merely helping the young man with an awkward trouser zipper, in the local park.

I too, Meistriolus Gwilarblydiffordd, would dearly love to establish a working relationship with your goodself. As it happens my finances is flacid, and in dire need of stimulation, and this opportunity strikes me as the perfect to inflate it to its full glory. Personal contact by a fine African gentleman such as yourself is something that I often think about, when alone.

I am most fasinated by the story of the now deceased king and his young son. I hope that his evil kindred will not lay their dirty hands on his fortune. As I told my wife, Idwal, I wouldn't like for anyone but my trusted and muscular young accountant to rub their hands on my family jewels!

Please, tell me the story of the dead king. Was he a wise and generous ruler - or did he have all his enemies tortured and killed? I myself would approve of the latter, as I have two wives dead and buried because they would not partake in my gimp-suited man-on-man bedroom activities.

But! I digress. I would dearly love to hear of how I could help you and your prince. Please send me all details as soon as possible. And perhaps a picture of the young man? I always like to see the face of a young African man before I come, and join your scheme.

Alas my time is short, therefore I will finish here as I am spent. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Until then,

I remain,

your humble manservant,



Meistriolus Gwilarblydiffordd
