Women- big hearted?

Someone asked me this question. I don't have the answer.
Are women 大方？
For those reading this post, u can ask yourself this question.
Personally, for the man i love, I would. Sometimes the feeling may be sour, but got to trust your man, love conquers all. That is provided your man has been good to you. On that belief, i trust my man.
Gracious is the way to go in true love.

It was difficult to continue the post. Because I was thinking, if a man cheated, the woman would, for the sake of the family, stand by the husband. Just look at the case of those men caught in the sex with underage prostitute case. Did mrs shaw stood by mr shaw?
But if it was the woman who cheated, 99% of the men will not stand by the wife. Just look at the case of the scdf case.

Yes, men have their pride. Especially if the case is on news. Does it mean that woman doesn't have pride? No. I think it's because society has made women the weaker sex. Yes, we have come a long way and progress in women fighting for equal rights. But somehow, that's how far we can go. Men are from mars. Women from Venus, we can never be equal. We are made to be different.

Otherwise, women should go for NS and men should try child bearing. Men and women will never be the same. For women, we think with the heart, which proves to be complicated. For men, they think with their head, rationalize. Some silly men would think with their cock head.

Then why are some women small hearted? Maybe it's because they really love their men, that's why it matters to them. Maybe it's not that they don't trust their men, it's they don't trust the other women. But then again, if they trust their men, why would they worry about the other women? I really don't know.

So back to my question, and I hope u have seriously think about it. Are women big hearted, generous?

Eventful day

Since Sunday night, it has been rather eventful.

At 3 plus, realised max was turning and tossing in his bed. Then took his temperature. He was having a fever. Administered medicine. Didn't really get to sleep till 4 plus. Had to be patted to sleep

So took child care on Monday. Brought him to see the doc. After we came back, settled, Mabel called from school and said that she sprained her leg.

Rushed to school to pick her up and immediately brought her to see the Chinese physician. Luckily, it was nothing serious and immediately aft that, she could walk better.

The Chinese physician didn't apply on the right ankle which was the injured area. He pressed on the ear, left wrist and left ankle.

Anyway, was kept busy yesterday.

Blasted

Today, Marcus' procrastination really blasted me off. Already mood not very Sui, to come back to the procrastination displayed by him, I really blew my top.

Horrible week

Been a horrible week. Sucks. Not happy. Will I get used to it? Maybe. Mayb I have to start learning.

Hi

Hello stranger. It's been some time since I blogged.
Yet to upload some Taiwan pics here.
Yet to do some official business wrt work.
But i've completed rearranging my iTunes music. That's an accomplishment.

Last week of holiday

Sigh. Last few days to enjoy. Today I slept until 10 plus then wake up, Shiok!
So sad, enjoying holidays. All good things must come to an end. Never mind, I'm looking forward to the next holidays!

Pleasant surprise

I was tricked downstairs by Vanessa, thought Cathy in trouble, need counseling. So I went down, and I got a pleasant surprise.

Luckily I didn't go down in pj. That would be awful!

After that, since Marcus and Mabel not asleep yet, so I asked them down to. Evidence, if not my hubby thought I went out to meet lover. Ha ha.

37 years ago

37 years ago, on this day, my mum gave birth to me. Did I give my mum a difficult birth? I dunno. But I was a sickly child. I needed a drip because I did not take in milk well. They had to insert the needle in my head.

I also knew that my both legs were not of equal length. It would make me walk with a limp. However, the midwife adjusted the bones. So it was remedied.

37 years later, want to thank my parents for having me. I hope I have not failed them.

Last of all, happy birthday to me.

Did you say "happy mother day" to your mom or MIL every time that you can remember of???

WHat goes round...will comes round.

If...your answer is "YES" then it is time to tell your 3M what I said.

Above was a comment to my mother's day post.

all this while, i've been refraining from making comments to the comments in my posting. but now, i'm going to let loose a bit.

My silence does not mean that anonymous can keep on commenting on my posts as if you know me well. My blog is a place where i blog my thoughts and feelings. If you don't like what i blog, then leave. by not responding to comments made on my posts, it says that i dun care about what other people think of me. But now apparently, i have to break my silence, because i'm pissed.

If you do not know me well, then dun ask me if i say 'happy mother day' to my mom or mil and tell me things like what goes round will come round.

and to add on to my mother's day post:

i was upset because of the whole hype about mother's day. so it was kind of sad when your children did not do anything special on that day. I don't blame them, because i'm upset that the daddy didn't rally the children to do something on that special day while i actually have in mind to rally the children to do something for their fathers on father's day.

and it doesn't matter if they didn't do something special for me on mother's day. As long as they appreciate me every day, which they do, i'm happy.

yah, enough is enough, i'm tired of this.

Marcus grew up

Was planning to buy Marcus some pj on sat as his old ones are really not fit for wearing.

Realised there are pj for babies and younger children. But to find pj for a 12 year old is a little bit difficult. So in the end, bought him some plain t shorts and boxers for him to wear as pj.

Marcus grew up already, wear boxers.

no items to wish for

After removing 'marcus to pass chinese' from my wish list, i realised there is nothing on my wish list. and i'm staring blankly as to what next to wish for. found that i've nothing to wish for.

is my life that contented that i've nothing to wish for? well, only those who knows me well will know what i really wish for.

i've removed one item from my wish list. that is for marcus to pass his chinese. After 3 long years, he finally pass his Chinese!!!!! wa!!!!! hope he maintains the standard.

But based on his mid year results, he cannot go anywhere. or should i say he couldn't get into the schools he aim to go. He got only A C C C, A for English.

Disappointed with his science results though, he should do much better in science.

Unfriend a friend in Facebook

What do u do when your friend Unfriend u in Facebook? Retaliate?

I think my reaction is to rumble here and my life continues to move on.

By unfriending a person, u had made clear how much u weigh this friendship. Yes, there were questions like y did u do that, I would like to ask. But forget it. Because likewise, I'ver no longer put a value to this. It doesn't bother me that I need to find the answer. I do not even want to comment on the action because it doesn't matter anymore.

I've more important people in my life to love, to care.

这个故事终于写完了。

Life is fragile

Reading the Chinese newspaper on the funeral of the taxi driver. The pictures of his children crying as they walk the last journey Heart ache. can cry.
Life is indeed fragile. He was gone in one second.

Life is indeed fragile. Must handle with care. U know the box has this warning? Fragile. Handle with care. Maybe all of us should wear this sign on us to remind ourselves.

Play pool mini one

Kelvin bought a mini pool table long time ago with Adrian. I was told, of I remember correctly that it was on impulse. Then it was placed in the store room For some time.

Recently children brought it out to play and last night I played with them. It was fun.

Max so sweet

I was marking furiously last night and Max left me a note on the fridge magnet. So sweet.

Memories

Last night before I sleep, suddenly recall my mil's last moments. Don't ask me why, just recalled. Tuesday will mark her 100 days of passing.

Recalled how she took care of the family. My hands are trembling as I'm typing. Maybe today is mother's day. I hope I didn't fail her as a dil. We had some misunderstandings and differences. But I really want to thank her on this day for her care, her help. I will always remember how she takes good care of this family, especially how she use her last strength to cook dinner for the family, making sure we have dinner to eat before she goes.

I also recalled my grandma. Been dreaming of her the past few nights. But it's always at the scene of the hospital. It was as if she is well again. Recall her 慈祥 face, her white hair. Recalled my aunties use to say, when I was younger, when she looked after me, I would always help her to go down to buy things. I think her biggest worry for me is that I stopped going to church. I think she never tells me that. But I knew she kept praying for me.

I know I'm finding excuses not to go back to church. I know deep down inside. It's complicated.

Mother's day

My mum is the only one that say happy mother's day to me this morning. Nothing from my children. And WAS a little upset in the morning.

Disappointed with children? Dunno. Maybe there shouldn't be a mother's day at all.

Rain

Rain rain go away, little children wants to play.

But rain, if u dun start pouring now, I will, soon.

Weather

Weather is so hot, wish I'm in bikini, by the beach, sipping beer. But just as I was typing this, dark clouds r coming. And thunder!!!!!!
Weather changes fast, just like my temperament, Hee, this is me. Love and accept me the way that I am

rainbow and dawn

the sky was actually quite beautiful as i drove. the light that shines through the darkness. read other people's tweets that some saw rainbow. that would be nice too.

driving towards the light that brightens up the dark sky, it should give people hope. the hope that there is light after the tunnel, the hope that there is rainbow after the rain. it should brightens or at least lift up my mood.

tried looking at sunflower, but moodiness remains.

mood

i remember that facebook usd to have (or still have) this mood meter, mood indicator. so how is your mood today? how is my mood today? can't go on with the post. pause...........

rain

last night i tried looking for the moon from the balcony, can't see any moon, obstructed. THis morning the thunder and rain splattering on my windows woke me up. rain, sigh. saw the lightning and heard the thunder, more sigh.

max was also awoken by the thunder and lightning, carried him to bed, cuddled him and patted him to sleep. just when i was about to fall back to sleep again, the alarm clock rang! no choice, reluctantly woke up.

Luckily, the rain stopped in time for everyone to get to school.

Moody

Woke up late this morning. Had two sleepless nights. Needless to say, extremely moody today.

Public holiday

Yeah, tell me about it. I kind of dislike public holiday. It's like just because it is public holiday, kind of like expect more.

Si bei sian.

Life

做人真的很辛苦。为什么呢？叹息。我可以不要做人吗？

Believe it or not, man sues BMW for his constant erection

Believe it or not, man sues BMW for his constant erection

like that also can arh?

Public transport experience

Was apprehensive that I would be taking the public transport home because it's been years since I took bus. And I really do not know what bus leads to my home.

So after some Internet search, in the end, choose to take met and feeder because I also need to check my ezlink card and top up if necessary.

Well, the experience is not as frightening as I thought. Stood all the way, I dun want to be stomped for sitting on priority seats. And trust me, no wonder people rather pretend to be asleep on the mrt than give up the seats. My legs were tired. Maybe I was on heels, hence plus the balancing, it's really working out feet muscles. Plus I do not have great balancing skills.

So all in all, I enjoyed the experience. No hurry, no horning at other people, no cursing and swearing. I could listen to my music peacefully.

Something's wrong

Something's wrong with my body system. I dunno what it is purging out. First, since Friday morning, I had this irritating pain in my left arm. I pin the cause to rheumatism. Dismissed the pain.

Saturday, chest pain. When it came, it hits you in the face, wham.

Sunday morning, again arms felt the pain. But it was so painful, until I couldn't fall back to sleep again. Then for the whole of the day, an irritating pain in the left arm as well.

And now, haven't eat anything for dinner, I already LS. Wonder what actually came out. Want a pic? Joking. I wouldn't put such disgusting pic on the blog.

I can't stand Windows

I really can't stand windows. I'm having problems shutting it down, seriously. It was taking a long time to shut down, hence, i had to force shut it, reboot, and wait for a damn long time for it to run all the background programs before i can shut it down properly. Seriously!!!!!! what the fish.

If i dun shut down properly, the battery will be drained out and on Monday, it may have more problems. seriously cannot make it.

Trolling

Wow, I just learnt what is trolling today. Gosh, I need to catch up.

Chicago

Was talking about the song inspiration. Now 883 playing the song.

You should know everywhere I go, always on my mind.
No one needs u more than I do.

Just some of the lyrics.

Memory

I have goldfish memory. I can't remember people's name. I can't be in sales. How do I lose my memory? How to improve my memory? Any contributions?

Work and life

Work is torturous. One word, sian. Majority don't like to work.

Living is suffering. That's why it's important to have hope, motivation. But when you lose the hope, u then become a zombie, going through the motions and responsibilities.
Different people have different source of hope. What is yours?

Inspiration

Lost my source of inspiration and motivation to the end of each work day.

Suddenly recall Chicago this song, you're the meaning in my life, you're the inspiration. That's how the chorus starts.

results

Ok, results for F1, kind of expected, but 2nd place and 3rd place winner were cool. I guess it was good fight.
also realised in the long month of March, i only had 9 posts. Hmmmmm, what happened? Less talkative? Became busier? or simply, talk lesser?

Vettel

F1 will be fun to watch tonight as vettel is back on track again.

Vodka prawn

Tried vodka prawn today. Mmmm just use vodka to marinate the prawn.

Well, I'm not sure if it's suppose to be gravy or dry when stir fry.

The taste? Mmmm, I didn't really taste the vodka. Let u know if the children are drunk today.

12 long hours

12 long hours of hard work. In European countries, the union would have organized a strike to call for shorter working hours.

12 hours, half of 24. Yup, it's a half day job, literally.

I really don't see the point.

那些年

Before I watch the movie, I didn't really understand the song. But aft watching the show, I really appreciate the song.

Not focus

I still got the 那些年 bug. Was not concentrating while I bathing. Almost use shower gel to wash my hair. Then when want to soap the body, use shampoo. Sigh.

Stupidity, no medicine can cure.

那些年，我们一起追过的女孩

It's really a nice show. Expected the ending that they would not be together. But I can feel the guy's love for the girl. I cried, and max saw me and asked me why i cry. I said i cry because the show is very nice. I bet he doesn't understand. He said he wanted to watch the show, i told him, he won't understand the show because he has not been through the school system yet.

The album has many piano pieces, quite nice.

Just regret that i had to watch it alone, was just imagining, if i were to be in the cinema, watching this show with my special someone, i'm sure to cry on his shoulders.

It's a nice show because it's funny and yet it makes you feel. Memories of your school time. Nice show. nicely written novel and nicely directed.

thumbs up!

you are the apple of my eye.

movie watching

these few days been watching 蜡笔小新. there are altogether 160 episodes. i'm only at episode 38. will watch slowly. good way to destress.

am watching 那些年. It's a very nice show and funny show. i kept on laughing. I didn't go to co-ed school when i was in secondary school, but it still tickles me. the things that students do when they are schooling. haven't finish watching the show. sometimes lag, loading.... so i'm using the time to blog and watch at the same time.

random thoughts

This is from stomp again:-

OK for teacher to go clubbing but why post pics of women hugging him?
Concerned parent STOMPer Anon says that while she understands teachers need to have a life outside of work, it is not right that this PE teacher has posted pictures of himself with a score of different women for his students to see.

Anon wrote:

"I happened to take a look at my daughter's facebook as she did not log out after using it.

"I was appalled when I chanced upon the facebook profile of her PE teacher-- a tanned young man.

"He had many photographs taken when clubbing and with different girls (seemingly of different nationalities) on different days in his profile pictures and mobile uploads which have attracted likes and comments from students.
"Teaching is indeed a stressful job and teachers do need to have lives outside work, but those photos should not be posted publicly for students or parents like me to view.

"Exactly what message is he trying to send across with those photos on his profile?

"Or is it because the teacher is trying to portray a young image to gain popularity among his students?"

One of the comments:-
I'm pretty sure who ever posted -ve comments, majority are not parents in the first place. Pls see it from the mom's pt of view. She's concern that the teacher is not showing good example to his students. Apart from intruding into her daughter's FB, the mom did bring up a point. DO YOU WANT OUR FUTURE GENERATION TO BE EXPOSE TO THIS LIFESTYLE?
To concern Mommy,
STOMP is definitely not the platform for you to complaint esp when the main audience here are of the younger age group i supposed. You might want to bring this concern up personally to the teacher. Esp if he is a PE teacher, he ought to promote healthy living to his student. Another thing, do educate your daughter on whats right and what wrong.

My views? well, i got to be politically correct here.
1) As the person who commented as said, the teacher is not showing good example to his students. Well, the commenter is actually quite objective in his point of view. Yes, i can understand the mum's intention, but why is it that only teachers have to set good example? What about parents? Don't parents also have to set good example? The mum has seriously violated her daughter's privacy by looking into her FB account and worse still, put it up on stomp. How would your the daughter feel if she were to know? Enraged and then you will lose the trust of your daughter totally.

Instead of worrying that her teachers is not setting a good example, i think you should start worrying about repairing your relationship with your daughter.

2) Next, the comment in caps, do you want our future generation to be expose to this lifestyle? Well, I'm in for exposing our generation to some things, vice etc. This kind of exposure is better than refraining them to see such things, then ultimately, when they reach the legal age, they may go clubbing, and then they are indeed expose to it and they may like it so much because pictures of such things had been hidden from them when they were young.

Ok, I think i didn't get my point across clearly in the above paragraph. Anyway, how many things can you hide from youngsters? You think they stupid is it? you think the internet don't have such things, is it? Oh please, if you really think of not exposing them to such lifestyle then censor internet, censor hollywood films, censor Hollywood MTV and songs. AHHHHHH, i make more sense in this paragraph.

Jia lat, i really cannot express myself in proper English.... only when in Singlish, then jitao can understand what i'm trying to say. Shit, am I going to be stomped for making this comment?

Singaporean women shorts/skirts getting too short?

Recently, on stomp, there were at least two articles featuring women wearing too short skirts/hot pants that show the butt cheek.

Some men finds it obscene. I wonder true or not? Some young men find it distracting. True or not?

what is your view on this?

Cute piglet

My colleague went Japan for honeymoon and bought this snack as souvenirs for all of us.

I got this snack with a piggy face. It's so cute!!!!!! Simply love the piggy with its cute nose and eyes. Can't bear to eat it. So I took a picture of the snack.

Avocado juice

Bought avocado the other time and made avocado juice. It was nice.

Smurf chocolates

One of my colleague bought this box of chocolate. It was smurf chocolate. So cute. And I juz ate smurfette.

Nbcb la. My children are waiting for me to eat dinner. This is the western par of Singapore!!!!!

Abc xyz Nbcb

Clouds

Lovely clouds. Trying to be positive amidst all this waiting for dismissal.

Heart ache

Max made me heart pain. He cried and didn't allow me to go to work. He thought that this week holiday, I could spend time with him. After knowing that I have to spend 5 days away from home, he started crying. Pains me to have to work do hard and neglect the children.

So again, this is the 2nd time this month, I'm reconsidering my options for career.

Cioppino

I think that's the spelling. Taste good. Was surprise that the children drank the soup. Thought they would find it too fishy.
And the final product on Saturday night. only thing is I didn't beautify the arrangement. If this is iron chef Singapore, I would be booted out!

Chicken corden bleu

The lamb turn out nice. Mayb a bit too soft but good for people with no teeth. Ahem. Tsk tsk, suaning someone. As it's wasn't lamb shank, hence the lamb shoulder cut is a little bit fatty.

Ok, the pictures of the chicken corden bleu. It was not easy to wrap the chicken. Mayb my cheese was too thick. And shouldn't put too much cheese too. Because I didn't really season the chicken meat, the chicken taste pale in comparison to the rich ham and cheese taste.

Rosemary braised lamb shanks

Just tried cooking. Not sure if it turns out well. No lamb shanks, wonder if this lamb shoulder cut can make it or not. So worried. If the lamb is not successful, sorry, we have to da bao 四大天王.

And yes, I put in a whole bottle of red wine. Wolf blass!

plants and love again

was just looking at the last post on plant and love.... so true, nodding in agreement. when a plant wither, you will try to revive it. but it depends on if the plant wants you to revive it. if the plant refuses, then.... what's next?

oh yes, my injured right middle finger has been feeling a little pain lately. signs of it healing? getting better?

[KTV]許哲佩.-.白色婚禮.mpg

she is a good singer, great voice

气球/许哲佩

out of breath!!!!!

Plants and love

So happy to see my plant growing. New leaves sprouting out. Somehow, you just a feel a sense of achievement. After putting in effort to care for it, water it, it is finally sprouting new leaves. But you know you have to continue to care for it lest it wither. So you continue your efforts.

I think it is the same with love. You put in effort to care, to look aft it. And the happiness and glow you will feel when you see love blossom. And you know you have to continue to put in even more effort because you couldn't let love wither. And you will continue to love not because you expect anything in return but because you just love the person.

Max and his good friend

That day, max received a card from his friend, a girl, to be precise. No, you cannot say it is his girl friend. She is a good friend. So he made a card in return.

I stupid

So stupid of me. Was wondering why the laptop cannot open web pages, it's supposed to have wifi connection and connected to wireless network. Then realised, I off the wifi button. How stupid of me! But at least I found out my own mistake.

Why does it always have to end with 'Happily ever after????

I had this teacher who taught me Chinese in JC. All i remembered was he was a very impromptu person. He said, dun make appointment with him. He hates appointment.

He's a very impromptu person, he feels like it, he go.

I kind of like get what he means because it really feels good to do what u want. Feels good to go where you want to go. No inhibition. Life has too many rules and commitment, sometimes it's good to do what you want to do.

Sadly to agree, hate to say, marriage and children is the biggest commitment one has to make. Why do fairy tales always end with 'and they live happily ever after.'

Have you found your prince in a shining white armor on a white horse? If yes, does it guarantee a happily ever after?

Realization

I know why. It's a pent up feelings I bottled inside me this week. I kept pushing the feelings and tell myself it's ok it's ok. I denied myself of letting out my feelings.

So today, it all blew with a powerful force and I wasn't able to handle myself.

But then again, if I have let my feelings be shown at that time, be it angry, sad, what good does it do? It could have hurt the people around me or worse still, backlash.

So in conclusion, I'm still no good at handling my emotions. I still got lots to learn.

Help

I think I need help. I juz spiral into feeling down and I can't stop myself from falling further. Then I just stare into space and I just cried.

I must learn to detach myself.

Doesn't help

Shit, just realise retail therapy doesn't help. In fact, now I'm more depressed. Not because of the money spent, (no money Liao). I think my heart just feels so empty suddenly. Why? What is happening?

random thoughts

actually i do not have any random thoughts. no thoughts, no feelings, don't know why, don't feel like blogging recently. rest in peace, san.

online shopping

Oops, i did not do anything productive... been shoppin online and guess what, I just had some retail therepy. lao gong is so going to make noise at me.....

silence

not in the best of mood. feeling lousy and just holding back. hold back from revealing feelings as i'm afraid i say the wrong things.

and hearing max cry over the phone, already want to cry out, but max tears really broke me down.

CNY

CNY came and go.... so happy? sad? glad it's over? ordeal to go through? too much to eat? fat? why must we wear new clothes, shoes on the first day of CNY? does it make you a better person? does it make you a different person?

after CNY, during CNY, i actually felt empty. empty, no life, no meaning in life.

Not been blogging

Pardon me for not blogging. Chinese new year came and went, time to get busy.

Max dunno part what

Max thinks that when he is in primary 6 , he will be dragon. We kept telling him, he's born in the year of the dog, but he just thinks that when he is in primary 6, it will be year of dragon again as Marcus was born in the year of dragon.

Max is sick

Max fell sick yesterday. Fever, sore throat. Yesterday he looked tired. Today, he seems to be ok, back to his usual self and energetic.

New clothes

I think I was crazy. Yesterday I went to shop for clothes, in a span of about an hour, I shopped for 18 pieces of clothing. 4 dresses, 2 pants, 2 skirts and 10 tops. Each clothes average $32. Yup, cny only 2 days, how to wear all the clothing?

Tired feet

Soaking my tired feet, and max has to kpo and put his legs in too.

Sunday

Brought children to swim, arranged to meet up their cousins for swim. Actually, it wasn't kind of arranged, it was like we r going to swim, will u be swimming too?

The weather was great for swim. The children enjoyed themselves and max showed his sweetness again. He shielded me from the splashing water

Then in the evening, brought mum to eat Taiwan porridge.

Fri the 13th

Was your fri the 13th unlucky? For myself, the paper got jam in the photocopier, I almost trip and fell. I guess that's pretty much it.

And not to mention, the guy in pink shirt almost made me puke my lunch out.

Marcus

For the past three days, Marcus has been attending this Adam Khoo workshop which was organized by the school.

Last night, went for the closing ceremony where the trainer told parents what the children were taught and also a bit of parenting workshop.

The trainer was animated. It was interesting, didn't feel the 2 hours was long and boring. At the end, he allowed some of the children to come to the stage and talked. Most of the children apologized for being naughty, rude and said they love their parents. And most end up with a hug. I felt like I was in a motivational talk.

Well, Marcus volunteered too. Quoting from the trainer's closing words, most parents want their child to be able to take care of themselves when they grow up and most of all, to be happy.

Max again

Max said he wanted to be an astronaut when he grows up. He said he want to earn a lot of money, so that he can buy me a Ferrari, he is so sweet.

Then when I tell him, astronaut has to go USA, he was a little reluctant. But after I tell him, I'll go with him, then he reluctantly say ok lor.

Spring cleaning

On Saturday, I decides to spring clean the children's toys and some cupboards. Felt good after spring cleaning.

International Headlines vs Local Headlines about Ministerial Pay Cut

International Headlines vs Local Headlines about Ministerial Pay Cut

Really seriously, make a comparison between the headlines. Seriously, our media is tongue tied. That night on the news, they spend 16 Mins talking about the ministerial pay cut and even worry if can attract talent into politics. What the fish!

1) i woke up late this morning. i went back to sleep after turning off the alarm.

2) managed to reach at the same time, minus my make up and all the what what cream, plus the gulping down of coffee in three big mouth, minus watering plants.

3) i finally finish july 2011 issue of reader's digest! (applause) can't wait to start on aug issue.

4)was reading about sex slavery in USA. the young girls were made to have sex with more than 20 men a day, that average out to 1 per hour.....mmmm thoughts......

5) my fortune cookie (given by a colleague) says i'm going to have the best day ever! it better be true.

6) i experienced a bout of STM just now, almost scolded people wrongly. They were baffled, so am I. (at myself) sigh, well, this is me.... take me as i am and appreciate me.

Taxis

I know that taxis have poorer business now and they tend to drive slower to try to catch passengers by the road.

But u want to drive slow, u drive on the left lane lah!!! What the fish! And I had to meet two of such taxis!

Max

Max had to remind us, it's six thirty. Because we leave at 630 am and we were all still doing our own stuff. Actually I know why he tell us the time, it's not that he is sweet to remind us to go to school, it's because he's waiting for his Gor Gor to go to school so that he can take over the place at the sofa.

He's still cute.

3G service down

Read article below, if u can. yeah, can sue Singtel.

1st post for 2012

It is the 4th day of 2012, how have your 4 days been?

I thought I have so many things to say, but apparently, I'm dumbfounded now.

Really, keep deleting. Mayb I'm just not in the mood. Sorry I have to start 1st post on a sad note.

Really sucks feeling especially today is 4th. The 4th day of each month is
Important and special to me.

Last 4d for 2011

Last 4d for 2011, results soon. How has your luck been?

Good luck to all for the last 4d of 2011.

Windows versus MacBook

The battle of the year. Was working on new year's eve, how sad, right?

So I had 2 laptops on the table.

Honestly, I'm lost in the windows OS, it takes me some time to get used to.

move on

Time to stop looking at 2010 and 2011's post, move on. I've done my reflection for the day, for the year, have you?

Feb 2011's post

I believe that trials are to make one stronger. The process is difficult, sometimes painful, but in the end, we should triumph (brand of bra, what a name) over trials. Persevere and jia you is the only thing i can tell myself now. even if the end process is not what i expected, i guess, yes, it would be painful because after trying so hard, you did not reach your goal. I guess, just bear the pain and continue. No point lingering and staying. this promise i had made, this pain i will bear. The above was copied from my Feb 2011s post. I find myself repeating the same thing, so i guess i strongly believe in challenges of life, even if the outcome is not what one might expect.

Just read 2010's post

Oh, i just read 2010's december post, I was having a major conflict in marriage. 2010 christmas day post, i quarreled with spouse. so my last sentence just now was not correct. if 2010 was bad, i should be looking forward to 2011 then. but neither, i didn't like 2010, neither was i looking forward to 2011.

word of closure

It is new year's eve, usually on this day, people will reflect and do a closure and look forward to the new year with resolutions. Well, my resolution for 2012 is to complete my resolutions for 2011. simple. In another words, some resolutions just get carry over year after year. I'm not going into a lengthy description on how to fulfill your goals. 2011 has its ups and downs or should i say that life is full of ups and downs? when it's up, we enjoy it, (ha! sorry, suddenly think of another thing that it's up and enjoyable) when it's down, we learn to conquer it and overcome it. but of course, i know the process, the negative feelings and emotions. The sooner we overcome challenges, the better it is for us, right? Adversity makes us a better person. always believe that there is light after the tunnel, there is sunshine after the rain. The tunnel may be long and dark, the rain may be long, but since all good things must come to an end, all bad things must come to an end too, right? i remembered last year, on new year's eve, i didn't want 2010 to end because i was not looking forward to 2011. Now, I still didn't like 2011, so i'm hoping to close up 2011 fast and move on to 2012. not that 2012 will be better, but hope that it would be better.

Gal day out

That day, had a wonderful gathering with gal friends. It was a fruitful time of gathering, catching up and sharing. We went to this jap restaurant which is apparently famous and people queued to eat in the restaurant. Given my character, if I see queue, I would just walk away but with gal friends....

That was the noodle I ordered. Not bad, it was tasty. Sorry, not a food critic. As long as th food is tasty and palatable, it's fine with me.

X factor

Just watching the last part of x factor, wow, it was so powerful. The final 3, the winner. I'm overwhelmed.

My first try cooking cioppino

Will be cooking for tonight's potluck. Now the food is thawing. Someone told me the correct word is thaw, not defrost. Ok, so thaw the food now.

Ok after thawing, I have 2 helpers to help me cook, Mabel and max. Mabel helped to cut the garlic, Max helped to put in the butter.

So started with the soup base first. When it boils, we put in all the seafood, of course the kids wanted to help too.

Then after simmering for a short while, turn off the fire.

Well, I tasted it, seems ok. Anyway how does cioppino taste like, I also dunno.

Was worried about the seafood smell, so I put in more parsley and basil leaves.

Bon appetit!
