Butt Out, Bi**H

Some people just can’t stop trying to control other people. It annoys me….so completely that I just feel like an uncontrollable knee-jerk reaction to reach across the table and twack their noses! The thing is, some people have this really infuriating habit of trying to teach you how to teach your kids. That’s exactly what I am getting at lah, OK? It’s like someone who’s constantly watching you…and waiting for you to foul up so she will walk up to you and point it out to you very ‘cheerfully’ and ‘nicely’. I take her words with a PUNCH of salt, for your information and most of the time, I try to steer clear. You’ll never know when my hand (and mouth) might decide enough is enough, you know! Anyway, had a dinner gathering last night and met up with some of the most fabulously animated gwai-lows and made some new friends together with some relatives discussing everything under the sun. Our conversation was laced with McCallan and some other drink that I cannot remember liao lah. Oh. Yeah. I mixed McCallan with my kedondong+sour plum juice in hope of coming up with a brand new Malaysian-style cocktail. Erm…don’t do it. :-) Let my adventoursome nature be a lesson to you. Hee hee hee…. A.NY.WAY. There’s this annoying lady hovering around us, not being able to mingle around with us because she’s got a baby to carry around and all that, you see. My kids were basically loitering around with their cousins. They do things that most kids do lah….having fun, laughing, falling on the floor, lying on the chair, argue, wanna bash each other up and playing again. Normal-lah. And I have a maid watching over them. So, I enjoy myself with my conversation mah, right? But this annoying lady keeps coming me and reporting to me what my kid is doing, telling me that he shouldn’t be lying down on one of the chairs, laughing when I take a drink, making sarcastic remarks that I felt she was shoving down my throat. Me? Sensitive? Yeah, maybe. McCallan didn’t have time to work yet, OK? So, maybe I felt that she was a little too….urgh. Like hovering around, trying to remind me that I shouldn’t be enjoying myself TOO MUCH because my kids are this and that, this and that! YOU. GO. TAKE. CARE. OF. YOUR. KIDS. I love my kids but I have a maid who is watching over them. When they do something bad, my maid will come to me, thank you very much! I wanted to tell her to leave me alone and let me enjoy my mindless almost-drunken chatter. If she feels left out, fine, sit down and chat, then. And she always have to tell me what to do, how to do things, why this, why that. It’s not always in a friendly-friendly way…it’s in a I-know-better-than-you-because-you’re-so-dumb way. B.I.T.C.H.

whenever I come across people like this I just try to take everything in until "enough is enough and enough is too much" time where I will give them my bored look. If that doesn't pass the message then the next thing is verbal communication c/w pissed looks..100% sure hit the spot wan...next time won't come near me.

KNNCCB!! to me its not being rude ma, its just dishing out the same meds they are trying to shove down your throat right?

I know I won't make many frens this way but wtf!! I dun need "frens" of such kind..they can kiss my arse for all I care.

jamie, absolutely lah! I mean, it's like she always have to come and teach me how to teach my kids all the time! and frankly speaking, i wish she was not someone so close-knit (if you get my drift) so that I dont have to see her all the time. but....ergh!

if i give her the 'eff off' face (which I've done before), I kena bang kow-kow after that until i have nothing to say.

imagine that....she so strong until marsha maung also kalah, ok? i think tan jamie also kalah

not only with me, but with just about everyone else as well.

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...

At Camp 5, 1 Utama: Kids' Rescue Mission

The kids had a wonderfully exciting day today. Now, this is as extreme as this mother is going to get. Mommy goes Paintball, kids go mountain-climbing...I think I've fulfilled the criteria of offering my kids a fun and exciting life as a kid. :-) It was one of their friends' birthday party and they're a little bored of KidzSports...that's for BABIES, anyway, they say. So, off to Camp 5 then, says the birthday boy's mother. Camp 5 in 1 Utama is located near Neways Karaoke, for those who have never been there before. It's a neat little corner tucked up on the roof of the massive shopping complex. Anyway, the kids had tons of fun although a little apprhensive when they saw how high the 'rock' was. It's actually quite neat and if I didn't feel like throwing up whenever up on higher grounds, I would have wanted to try it as well. The highlight of this party came in the form of a rescue mission. As we all know, when one is frighte...

When will Mariah stop flashing her boobs????

Mariah used to be my favourite singer of all time because she's got this amazing gift in the form of a voice that can go ANYWHERE but why oh why is she so obssessed with flashing those enormous peaks of hers everywhere...and why is it that all her songs contain sexual innuendos....touch my body is one of them. I mean, I love the song, I love the tune, I love the beat but PLEASE , Mariah, PLEASE .....why can't you be decent for once? I clicked to watch because I like the song and spent a couple of minutes crossing my fingers that she won't be flashing anything (FAT CHANCE!) in the video. But nope....no such luck. In fact, with a song like that, she goes even further over the top. Where got people answer the door in this type of clothing wan?? Is she for real??? I mean, in this video, she calls a technician up to fix her computer and she answers the foor LIKE THAT ??? Aish.... But the video was entertaining in a sense because the lam-chue-kok (male lead) is this geeky,...
