Communication Breakdown

I really don't understand what's in children's mind these days.
Sometimes it's really difficult to communicate with them.


Bro & I, we have no problems communicating, but sometimes i feel that he's kinda attitude and rude. He's not the only one that I have experienced such behaviors. Alot of children at his age are like that.
They don't really have respect for people anymore. And get pissed off with little things.

Cannot scold him or nag at him. He will give one kind of a grumpy face and TL look.
Which makes me so sad and angry at times.
Every word we say, is for his own good.

Actually, our parents are actually very slack liao. They don't force us to have high grades or to take up certain activities or CCA. They allowed us freeplay.
Bro is so much more luckier den me and Sis. Mum used to be very strict with us, but at MJ's days, she sort of mellow down.

Though we don't come from a rich family, we try to give him what we have and can.
No doubt, sometimes I get very 'sian' too when Mum starts nagging at me, but I still respect her and will keep quiet and drown myself with all the nagging.

I never believe in High Qualifications = Great Future or A Happy Life.
I believe in being happy.
Therefore, I have never forced Bro to study during exams. I think he should know his limits, he's already off age to know how to think.
Sometimes, he really behave like an adult and can say real touching words when you are down, but sometimes I really feel like banging his head on the wall.

I really hope he'll understand all this.
Know what's right and wrong.

小夫妻

This song very nice.
I like the lyrics.



在super market逛了好大一圈

想你爱咖哩或是意大利面

幸福的食谱再恶补几遍
我的优点要你百尝不厌

在下班路上租了几支影片

有你在沙发就是浪漫剧院

辛苦的时候想著你的脸
没有蛮牛活力也会出现

喔~序妻我的福气
这辈子可以让我爱上了你

这一路
有时晴
有时雨
都没有关系
我们的真心超过钻石对爱的定义

序妻永不放弃
默契是最富有的一种储蓄

赌气话
你一句
我一句
也觉得甜蜜
多庆幸我们望著同样明天
牵手在努力

你今天玉米浓汤有一点咸

你没送钻戒以后补我项链

我的通通是你的没有期限
存够钱我们逛地球一圈

喔~序妻我的福气
这辈子可以让我爱上了你

这一路
有时晴
有时雨
都没有关系
我们的真心超过钻石对爱的定义
序妻永不放弃
默契是最富有的一种储蓄

赌气话
你一句
我一句
也觉得甜蜜
多庆幸我们望著同样明天
牵手在努力

喔~序妻我的福气
这辈子可以让我爱上了你

这一路
有时晴
有时雨
都没有关系
我们的真心超过钻石对爱的定义

序妻永不放弃
默契是最富有的一种储蓄

赌气话
你一句
我一句
也觉得甜蜜
多庆幸我们望著同样明天
牵手在努力

我愿意
这一生
这一世
呵护著你
一直到
你当爷爷
你当奶奶
还是老夫老妻
So sweet the song.
Reminds me of US.

Good Week

Feeling kinda sleepy today actually, slept late last night. Was doing cross-stitch while Darling's busy with his school work.
Guess what? I re-do the whole cross stitch!!!
I'm like done with the sand and the boy, working on the gal but I've decided to chuck the whole thing. Bought a new piece of cloth yesterday and started doing all over again.

Reason being, there's FLAWS in the initial piece! & I can't accept it!
It's supposed to be our Castle you see, and our Castle's supposed to be perfect. I don't wanna have wrong stitches here and there.
Think think for very long and can't make up my mind. But I finally decided to redo the whole thing, started on it yesterday.

Anyway, I went to this shop 金龙 at Chinatown. Handicraft shop. They are real big and sell all sorts of handicraft stuffs. It's my 3rd time there and probably my last time. The first 2 times I went, I wasn't too happy there too, but I managed to buy something cuz it' something simple that I know how to get and where to get. The staff there simply wasn't helpful AT ALL.

Yesterday I went there to get a new piece of cloth for the cross stitch plus some thread.
I asked the sales staff and she just point point here and there, like i know where to get. When I ask them questions they are so unhelpful too. 'It's there loh'. 'It's here loh'. *duh*

Ended up i left without buying anything. I put back the thread I got and left the shop. Feeling.. Unbalance.
I think Elsie Department at AMK is so much more better. 1million times better than the stupid Golden Dragon.
They are always helpful and nice.
The uncle still try to help me find the picture so he can get the cloth for me okay. But I told him I will get it myself, it's alright. Cuz I gotta dig through the books.
They are really so helpful, always offer you pointers and give you instructions on what to do.
Gonna boycott the stupid golden dragon.

And I can do it throughout the night without Sis telling me to off the lights liao. Cuz now she's also doing cross stitch, for her bf maybe. Haha.
Then on Sunday night, when she's doing her cross stitch and I wanna off the lights and sleep she say she wanna do stitching, so will off the lights in an hour's time. I told her it's okay, as long as next time she don't tell me to off the lights loh. Haha.
So now, she also LL.

She hor, when she want to sleep she will ask people to off the lights one. Then when she's not sleeping she will be on her phone till 3, 4 plus, never off lights also never mind. Tsk Tsk.
Sis now is abit like me during my teenage days, chat on the phone till late or early in the morning, go out lah, clubbing lah, know new friends, msn blah blah.

And me? I'm like lazy to go out, lazy to club. Not really into knowing new friends or chatting on the phone, msn or friendster anymore.
If guys trying to be irritating or ask me can make friends? What's my age, height, weight etc... Frankly, I get very turn off.
And I wanna settle down liao. Haha. Many people say I'm still kinda young to settle down.
We hope to get our nest in 1 - 2 years time. Alot of planning and savings to do. Under-going the process of building up our castle now.

Yesterday I suddenly thought of myself being a wife. Haha. I told Darling, next time when he work late ( assuming that he switch jobs after his studies, he'll be kinda busy I believe), I will cook dinner for him at home. Haha. Maybe 1 soup, 1 meat + 1 veg. Hoho. Of course, not forgetting Cookie, will get her food too, so we can all eat 2gether. =)

Darling love soup, I will learn how to broil soup. So he can enjoy a steaming hot soup when he's home.
I will also buy a oven and will learn how to bake cakes. Hee. Then will bake cake for him and Cookie. =)
People who knows me might have difficulty imagining me doing all these, but I can visualize myself perfectly well. Haha.

Then we can have a bigger space for Cookie liao. Hee.

These days, I would prefer to stay home and accompany her. She'll be so lonely without us at home with her. Yesterday night when I got home, rather early, around 7 plus but nobody's home. She's so happy and excited to see me. Cuz she's been alone at home since 1 plus in the afternoon.

At least, now she's allowed to roam about the house rather then locked up in the playpen.
Morning when I left the house, she seems sick.
Cuz she hide underneath the blankets and pillows. But Mum's off today and I think Bro be home early today too.

Dunno why, but I'm really looking forward to Chinese New Year.
Or actually, I'm looking forward to 2008.
We believe that 2008 will be a real good and smooth year for us =)

88.3 Jia

I'm so so excited!!!

We took part in a contest with 88.3 Jia FM in July. It's called 文字导游. As the name implies, we are to act as a Tour Guide, introduce a country that we have been to. The DJ will short list one letter every week to read out on air and end of the month, one letter will be chosen out of the 4.
The winning letter will win a tour package to the country of the month!

And, they read my letter today!!!
I submitted a short intro on our HK Trip in July & have been excited for that very week, hoping that they will read out my letter. But after so so long, never hear anything leh.
So I kinda give up liaos.

But, today while I was real engrossed in my work, I heard a real familiar 'story' on the radio. I paused for awhile then I realize the DJ's reading my letter!!! I was so so excited, initially I thought once they read my letter it means I've won the tour package.
I quickly call Darling and he tuned in to the radio, just in time to hear the last sentence of the intro + my name.
But actually, we still have to wait till month end before the results.

When you least expected certain things, it will just happen!!!

The tour package for this month will be Bangkok. =)
Last month was Taiwan, better loh. Haha.

But never win also never mind, happy that they read my letter. Hoho.

I have never ever won any lucky draws or competitions before, this will be my first time.
Maybe it's coz I stepped on Cookie's poo in the morning. Haha.

Darling & I also took part in the 88.3 WeeKen.com challenge, but we have yet to win anything.
When the DJ starts prompting, we are supposed to send in a sms with our name & nric. And we wait. If we do receive a call from them, we are not suppose to say anything, no 'hello', no 'hi', no 'wei'. Nothing at all.
Instead, we have to say 88.3 Jia FM, WeeKen.com 让你的家居焕然一新。 Then we will win a very lucrative reno package.

But we have yet to win anything yet lah. Haha.

Jia You, Jia You, Jia You!!!

We are all so sleepy today!!!!! Zzzz Zzzz. Slept quite early yesterday, around 12am but still feeling so shag today.
Had lotsa weird dreams again.

My planning yesterday was to go home early. Perhaps reach home at around 6.30pm, bath and poo poo, done at around 7.30pm. Then eat dinner and start my cross stitch and relax from 8pm onwards.
But when I got home, everyone's home. (Except for Sis).
Cuz someone's gonna send the 'incense pot holder' up to our home, Dad came home early to wait for them too.
Ended up, we had dinner together at around 8plus 9.

Darling & I bang our head at each other yesterday. PAIN!!!!
I was the one who go and bang his head lah, but ended up doing it too fast and 'kena' real hard bang.

Some photos of our super notti COOKIE!!!

We think her face matured liao. She looked abit different now.
Well. She's 1 year liao mah. Big gal liao.

But she's getting so naughty!!!
Some videos of her disturbing Darling and 'kena' scolding & smacking.

This morning I stepped on her poo somemore.
Maybe will strike 4D soon. Haha.

video
video
video

The videos are not in order and they are all ready short. Cuz the very smart LG phone can only video for a max of 20secs.
So smart.

The cross stitch I'm doing now is actually a picture of a guy and a gal building sandcastle, which is suppose to be their home. I think it's very sweet cuz it's what Darling & I are doing now. We are building our SYPS Castle.

At the bottom part, there's wordings, " God, Please Bless our Home''.
But we are not Christians, so I told Darling maybe I change to 'Ti Gong, Please Bo Pi our house'
Haha.


The brown and beige patches are the sand and the boy building it.
As you can see, I've only done up half of his hair.

The Close Up of the boy. Suppose to be Darling lah.

Wanna go Pasar Malam again!! Probably tonight =)
Want to eat the 盐酥鸡!!!

God of Gamblers

We are a HUGE HUGE fan of 赌神. The very very old version by Chow Yuen Fatt. Movie in 1989!! I was only 5 years old loh!!!

But it's a damn good show. Chow Yuen Fatt is a great actor. We love him. Haha.
All of us huddle in our room to watch the show yesterday. Mum love him too. Haha. More than she love Dad. Opps.
Joking only.

I realize my company's 'plastic bag' was also being featured on the show. Haha. And I got all excited. Bo liao...

Chow Yuen Fatt as 高进

He's very cute during the part where he lose his memory and behaves like a kid.
& I really hope someone can tell me where to get the chocolate he's eating.

Another guy that I like will be the 龙五. He's so cool leh. The protector of 高进. It's so difficult to find a photo of him.
He's one of those guys that you always see in movies but you can't seem to call out their names.

This is the one pic that I managed to get. And its a screen shot somemore.
He is, Charles Heung. 向華強 will probably ring a bell.


張敏 was real popular those days. She's been in alot of movies with Stephen Chow and have been in the series of Gob of Gamblers too. Her name in 赌神 was at least normal, Janet.
But her name in the others was 绮梦 and some other names with the word 梦 .


王祖賢 (Joey Wong) act as Andy Lau's GF. She was pretty in those days, but think she put on quite abit of weight now and she's not that stunning anymore.

Need not intro, everyone knows, he's Andy Lau.
He acts as the disciple of 赌神, 陈刀仔. He's quite act cute in certain scenes actually, but I think he developed a style of his own. And, he still look so good today.

Darling told me he saw somewhere in a magazine, about long time ago when Andy Lau just enter the media/entertainment industry. During a shoot with Chow Yuen Fatt, CYF showed AL his watch and told him, if you want to be able to have a watch like this, you must be famous and earn more money.
Something like that, not the exact quote lah.

吳孟達 is another guy that we all know and we like him. For his 'bo liao' and crappiness.
Half the time, when you see Stephen Chow, you will see him too. They are like a package deal.
However, he's role in God of Gamblers I wasn't a big part. But II was the character 三叔, which was stuck with him for many many years.

The director is
王晶.

The reason I wanted to rent God of Gamblers I cuz last Saturday Channel 8 had 赌侠, its part 2 of 赌神 actually.
Stephen Chow & Andy Lau as main characters.

Most of the crew remains.
5 STARS!!!


Side tracked abit, not sure if I mentioned, our laptop is GONE.
The whole screen crack. Bro say Cookie knocked the laptop down but I really don't think so. I think he play a part too. Cuz the way the screen crack, it doesn't seems to be done by Cookie. She's so lightweight.

Anyway, it's just gone loh.
Haiz. The laptop have a poor and short life. And all my stuffs are in there!!!
Gonna extract the hard disk.

Tiring Day

SMT Weather:

TSM Weather:

We went for the 大圣爷 dinner near market yesterday. Once a year event, I feel like we just pass the 06 event and now its 07 liaos.

I kinda like such dinners don't know why. Like very traditional and with local taste. It's actually a very noisy 'function' cuz of all the bidding going on. Rowdy too.
Darling had like 1001, not 101 but ONE THOUSAND AND ONE questions to ask about the event, me & uncle want to go crazy liaos. Haha.

Had fun catching up with uncle and dad dressed to kill loh. Okay, abit 'kua zhang', but he wore long sleeves shirt leh. Haha.
Grandma just came back from her Australia trip too, shiok. Holiday Holiday. I'm looking forward to our trip in Jan too. Tentatively, we plan for a trip to Redang, can do water sports hoho. But it's more of a leisure, resort holiday.
Also thinking whether should go city area like Taiwan blah blah, then have more things to see and buy.
But shall plan again by then. Still early loh. Now only October. 3 more months!!!!

Mummy also going Australia in Jan, ALL EXPENSES PAID FOR okay. She's got this 'god-sister' who dotes on her alot one loh. Air Tickets paid for liaos, expenses also think have. Plus the aunty have friends or relatives staying there I think. Lodging solved too.
But it's time for mum to take a short break too, from her job and us. Haha.

Uncle also told us to go visit Grandma when we can. If not, next time even when we want to see her also no chance liao. Actually, our ties with relatives on Dad's side isn't too close. We only meet the aunties & uncles once a year, during CNY. We were closer with Mum's side relatives.
Dad's side relatives mostly are the 'hao lian' kind one, and like to compare things. So it's quite sian to even see them once a year at times. We used to be very close when we were younger, all the uncles & aunties were nice and sweet too.

God knows what happen when we grew older. They like comparing, everything from results, to job, to wat kind of schools blah blah. And the ones comparing are not the kids, but the adults. Mum, Dad & Us, we always cannot be bothered with all the comparing. But sometimes, you get involved without knowing it. It's just like office politics.
Especially Sis, she 'kena' the most, cuz she's the oldest among all cousins and we have another cousin who's the same age as her. And he's damn good at his studies, whereas Sis is so so only loh. So always 'kena' pull into the comparing thing.

My that cousin is already 26 and he's still studying, I don't even think he's got any practical experience in the society.
Well, not that studies are bad, but the fact is not all who's done well in their academic perform well in their life.
They could be just nerds!!! And no, I'm not saying that my cousin's a nerd.
Talking about him, it's kinda sad too.
Him, Sis & Myself, we used to be so close when we were younger. Play all kinds of funny games like, The Moon, The Sun and The Star. And we will sit toegether and chat and be funny. Crack jokes and make fun of each other. But now, we are like STRANGERS loh.

Remembered once, during CNY, out of concern, I asked another cousin who's so much more younger then me on his reults. And he say, his mama say cannot tell ppl, cannot tell me. *duh* Cuz why? He didn't do well.
So?? It's not like we are gonna laugh at him?
Not that I did well in my studies, I didn't pass my Os too, but here I am, happy with what I'm doing.
Studies are good but being a very academic person does not equal to HAPPY or GOOD. You could be a real wicked & bad person, but a distinction student.
You could be a distinction student but unhappy with life.

Of course, there are also distinction students with happy life. It's about our choices that we take, not just that piece of paper. It does help us to gain entry to certain organisations smoothly but it does not gurantee u a smooth path.

Well, anyway, lesson learnt. I'm not gonna try to be concern anymore.
Just in case, I'm being labelled as KPO.

Grandma didn't particularly dote on me or sis too actually. She favours boys over gals and when we were younger, she's more of the 向钱看 kind of person.
But I realize she's changed too and she's not young anymore. We should take some responsibility of caring for her too.

Anyway, our laptop is GONE. Really GONE. The screen crack loh.
Can YOU EVEN IMAGINE?

Bro say cuz Cookie knocked it off my bed, but I seriously don't think so. anyway, it's over liaos. I just told Mum yesterady and she's like ANGRY. Expected.
Haiz. Not gonna get another one for the time being, the kind of usage on the poor laptop.

Back to the dinner, the end result, in total we bidded for one fan, one mahjong set and one 'ong lai' thingy, those big big ones.
We wanted to bid another set of mahjong initially but got people 'fighting' for it with us loh. So we gave up.
Then got another set of mahjong and we got so excited and Dad stepped away so we bid on our own. Starting was at 50, den somebody shouted 80, we wanted to counter at 100 when we realize the person who shouted 80 was dad. Haha. Luckily Darling told us, cuz he saw Dad bidding. Otherwise, we would be fighting against each other. *duh*

Rented the old old 赌神 by Chow Yuen Fatt. Haha.
Nice leh.

Anyway, we watched《不能说的秘密》liaos. It's nice! Bro gave it 5 ***** . 'kua zhang' Haha.
Shall not tell the secret.

Watch it yourself!!!

Sky Tower & Power 98 Carvival Rally

Yeah, we completed our Carvival with pride, cuz we won...

I seriously think that Keith's very convincing in the photos.


In our dreams. Next year perhaps. Haha.
Winning team was another team which compromise of 2 guys and 2 gals too. For a moment, we thought we have chance, but then....

We were considered quite fast already actually, around 700 - 800+ seconds to complete all challenges. Traveling time wasn't taken in consideration.

There were total of 5 locations and 5 different challenges. The challenges turn out to be quite different from what we expected. We expected more thrills and excitements but they were really simple.

Our first location was Sin Ming Vicom where we were given like 12 straws. We have to think of a way to transfer the water from the bucket to a cup without moving. We can only stand behind the lines.
Darling did the 'sucking' or rather 'drinking' of water from the pail which he almost puked, cuz the water's dirty and have been contaminated by others.

2nd location, was to Choa Chu Kang Stadium, where we had the 'lamest' game.
Fishing!!! Like those pasar malam kind. One of us will be blind-folded and the rest can guide the person. Darling, me & Keith did the fishing.
I guided Darling (vice versa) and Meiling guided Keith.

Darling managed to fish like very fast loh. Actually he 'saw' the fish from the corner of his eyes. *duh*

3rd, we went to Sentosa Sky Tower. At least, the challenge there is more interesting.
We have to do like shuttle run, but instead of passing baton, we have to fill up a bottle with water again, the cup given was poke with alot of holes. That's the challenge.
Once the bottle is filled, a puzzle will drop out and we have to fix the puzzle.

I was so worried that I might topple the bottle, once the bottle's toppled, we have to start all over again. A team before us toppled theirs. It's kinda sad. And once the water runs out, and you have to fill the bottle, the time clock will be the max plus the team will have to stay back for 30mins.

4th, we went to Pasir Ris for a shooting game. Water guns + Tracing Paper. Haha.

The last stop before we 'check-in' at Safra Yishun was West Coast. We did the wheel barrow thing.
Keith & Darling's involved.
Meiling & I, we helped with filling up the cup with water. Hoho.

The theme for this year is Water, therefore all challenges involved abit of water.

We were supposed to go jogging on Saturday night but since there's this Carvival on Sunday, we dropped the idea. Gotta wake up at around 5plus in the morning. Shag... Been so long since we last woke up so early. The last time we woke up before dawn was for the HK Trip.

Pair of track shoes, belonged to Uncle & Aunty actually. Haha.

Decals on the Car!!!

Photo taking before the briefing.
Tee Shirts from the Carvival.

Awaiting for the briefing to begin.
Just look at my shag face.

Power 98 DJ, Sebastian doing the briefing.
Can't see his face, TOO DARK!!!

Mob at Sin Ming Vicom.

We were like taking our own sweet time in between the traveling to different locations cuz the traveling time will not be counted as the time taken to complete the challenges.

Really quite slag as compared to other teams.
We managed to get back to Safra at around 3pm, check in and collect our goodie bags.

Our Time Card ($10,000 worth)

Taken by Darling

Meiling & I with the Goodies

600 People, 150 Teams, waiting in anticipation

We went out for our late lunch and early dinner after 'checking-in'.
Really shag by then. Wanna just drop down somewhere and Zzzz.

Though we didn't expect to win but we still hope to win you see. Haha.
When the results were being announced, it's still kinda disappointing that we are not the winning team.

Well, we can always try again next year. =)

The whole event went well, except for 2 hiccups.

1st --- 6.30am Darling & I were waiting for Meiling & Keith at Hougang Ave 8, Blk 635. But they went to AMK Blk 635. Haha.

2nd --- Lost of car keys, even before we start. 'scarli' it was in Meiling's pocket. Poor Darling & Keith have to dig the rubbish bin. Haha.

Overall, it was a good fun day =)

Shall try next year!!!

FaceBook

I've been receiving alot of invitations to join FaceBook. Actually I haven't had the time to sit down and really understand the crux of it.

But I read this in another blog.

Click Here.


What was I doing at 20yrs old ah?
Nothing productive or interesting to remember leh.
Haha.

I Miss Her

SMT Weather:


TSM Weather:

I miss HER so much!!! Her = Cookie.
Darling overslept again this morning. He only managed to wake up at around 7.30am, and normally he needs to leave the house by 7.40am, latest. & so, he gotta take the train again.

Normally, I'm the 3rd or 2nd last to leave the house. But today, I'm the last to leave the house and the job of saying bye bye to Cookie and leave her alone in the house falls one me. We don't keep Cookie in the playpen now. She's allow to roam the kitchen and living room.

Normally when I leave the house, I will kiss her and give her one bone biscuit. Not sure if it's because I'm the last one to leave the house today, she's super 'excited'.
I will always tell her 'let's go baby', means follow me to the kitchen then bye bye.

But today when I say 'let's go', she thought I wanna bring her out I think. She jump around waiting for me to open the door than she dashed out, refusing to come back.
I have to tell her 'bye bye baby', walk back to the house than she came back. But ready to dash out again. Think she dash for about 2 to 3 times, I had a hard time keeping her in.
Feel so sad... For leaving her at home. But, we gotta work to buy things for her mah.
baby.
She gave me that so happy look and yet I disappoint her by leaving her alone at home. She must be so sad now...
The more I type, the more sad I feel!!! Argh.

*hug hug* baby.
I can't keep her out of my mind now.
Miss her so much...
