My husband and gadgets

My husband is not very keen about technology and gadgets and even social networks if it has not associated with home theater systems. He always complain how the world turned into now days with fancy gadgets; that people are becoming so addicted to it and ignoring their friends and family around them.
However, his friends convinced him to register a Facebook account which he barely spends time on. He bought a notebook that he scarcely touched except for his work. Yesterday, he bought a smart phone and I wonder how long this going to keep him interested?
Anyway, he did tell me that he wanted the smart phone because it will be convenient for him to correspond with his colleague thru emails. Furthermore, he doesn’t have to carry his gigantic notebook whenever we go to our hometown.
But then again, let’s wait and see how far he will go with his smart phone :)

*** wuhhooo!!! the phone is mine.... hehehe.... at last...

wed 21/3

Yesterday, we bought a new cupboard for my kids, unfortunately it appeared to  be smaller than their previous one. Now I am so confused, wondering where to stash all the extra cloths that i used to keep in the old cupboard.**sigh** :(

Let's spice up our marriage.

Recently, I watched a movie, titled Fireproofs; It was about a man trying to safe his falling apart marriage. It was a very moving and educational movie, and then it opened my eyes, how much we tend to take our relationships for granted leaving our better half unappreciated and unloved.

To all the married people out there, let’s admit our mistake and try working things out before our marriages falls apart too. Here are few simple tips that could helps us out:-

1. Surprises our loved one with loving notes in the obvious places that he/she will find.

2. Shower her with a bouquet of flowers on special occasions.

3. Take her out on a date and relive the moments.

4. Prepare(cook) a romantic dinner for just two of you.

5. Help around the houses and with chores.

6. Kisses her when you are leaving to work.

7. A quick hugs every now and then.

8. Whisper romantic word in their ear when they are not expecting.

9. Say thank you when she does something for you.

10. Say sorry when you are in the wrong.

11. Tell her, she is beautiful, often enough.

Well, now lets just cross our finger and hope these minor things works.

Any more tricks under the sleeves?

My 2yrs old daughter is not a big fan of medicine, even the word medicine will put her out of her mood. So, I used it as to blackmail her into eating her lunch and dinner daily. The medicine, had successfully played it's part for at least a month. But then the reality kicks in, slowly of course.... last week, before i could mention it, she did first, " amma, bring medicine."

The next day, just mentioning the word wasn't enough to force her to take her lunch, I had to bring the medicine bottle just to show that I was serious.

And the next day came, she was no longer afraid of the word nor the bottle, I was forced to open the bottle to show I am dead serious... :(

While, my daughter was challenging me, I thought this leave me with no choices, desperate time need desperate measures..... I have to show her who is the boss around here..!!! hehehe

yesterday, while feeding her dinner, after few mouthful of rice she was starting to resist, so i put an angry expression on my face, walked to the fridge, took out the bottle of medicine and poured a few drops on to the teaspoon and said to her in an angry tone, " Baby, if you are not eating the rice, amma going to make you drink this medicine, NOW!!"

and she coolly looked at me and said, " Aaaah." (with her mouth open  of course.)

OMG, my 2yrs old daughter just defeated me in our daily battle of the FOOD"..

So, any one out there has any new ideas.... :p

nothing interesting

OMG, I am supposed to come up with something daily to write about, darn it... it still appear blank up there... Oh gosh, it sucks... It has been 6mths since I started my studies and I am yet to submit my 1st assignment.... hmmm

Why can't I think of anything to write...?

Well, today nothing much happen for me to write it down. I am just leading a pretty kind of a mundane lifestyle...... same old routine to follow daily... Yeah, I know! BORING!!!

What else I can do? I can't go anywhere without being driven around by my hubby. I am a shame to mankind.... I got my driving license 13yrs ago and I am still, yet to face my fear on the road... never even once i try driving on the road .... my husband all ready warned me... when it's time for my baby to go to school, then I won't be able give excuses anymore and left with no choice than send her to school  myself. I can't depend on my hubby since he is already overwhelmed with his workloads....

WOW... i can feel the terror within me, the idea of me driving is freaking me out!!

Oh, darn it!!

Family secrets

Family secrets can be shocking sometimes, recently I was just been updated regarding a cousin of mine, which was quite a shocking news at that time. I felt for him, I wanted to reach out to him  and say, "It's ok. I understand." But how can I do that, when he doesn't know that I know and some other people related to him.
Unfortunately, it seems that he have to face his demon alone, since he is not willing to be open about it.

Life... huh, sometimes put us in a tough position, disable us to stand up for ourselves and force us to lead a pretence lifestyle.

blank... blank...blank

I was adviced to write something daily. Just about anything as a daily habit.... but then I took 1 week to came up with this .... lol.... life sucks... my brain doesn't works as it used to and I am drowning....
I confidently, enrolled myself to an online course, thinking I would have the time to do the assignments and study while caring for my little princess who craves for attention all the time....

Have I made a big mistake??!!

Oh, God... what am suppose to do....

The Cookie Thief

When I received this poem, I nearly cry out of laughter thinking how silly the lady could have been and the good hearted guy who willing to share his cookies to a stranger.

Well, I am sure all of us have encounter situations similar to this, in our life and we tend to jump into conclusion without considering the possibilities and consequences of our action and then regret later.

Read the poem below, it's very interesting indeed. Judge for yourself.

A woman was waiting at an airport one night
With several long hours before her flight

She hunted for a book in the airport shop
Bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop

She was engrossed in her book but happened to see
That the man beside her as bold as could be

Grabbed a cookie or two from the bag between
Which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene

She munched cookies and watched the clock
As this gutsy cookie thief diminished her stock

She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by
Thinking "If I wasn't so nice I'd blacken his eye"

With each cookie she took he took one too
And when only one was left she wondered what he'd do

With a smile on his face and a nervous laugh
He took the last cookie and broke it in half

He offered her half as he ate the other
She snatched it from him and thought "Oh brother

This guy has some nerve and he's also rude
Why he didn't even show any gratitude"

She had never known when she had been so galled
And sighed with relief when her flight was called

She gathered her belongings and headed for the gate
Refusing to look back at the thieving ingrate

She boarded the plane and sank in her seat
Then sought her book which was almost complete

As she reached in her baggage she gasped with surprise
There was her bag of cookies in front of her eyes

"If mine are here" she moaned with despair
"Then the others were his and he tried to share"

"Too late to apologize she realized with grief"
That she was the rude one, the ingrate, the thief
