ReCap: Rainbows and Clouds : TODAY

things we needed to get done:-

Josh needs to get to work on time; he woke all of us up and we got there on time; and he was OK at the end
Jad and I needed to route ourselves to the new workplace, although it is not necessary, but we did it. anyway

I Watch Skies a Lot

This was when we stopped at the KJ station, parked, and tried to plan the timing. I did not notice anything because I was focused on the parking and the system but then, my son asked me look up. He tentatively asked me, "What do you do see"?

Didn't see anything but he said, "Look to the right" and capture that.

And I did. Gorgeous.

That was a little beautiful, don't you think so? No clouds to a rain-drenched rainbow over the background of a usual PowerGrid. Rainbows are fabled indications of favorable bridges to the future. As in the 'Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow', I think it's nice to see that so early in the morning with the many other early commuters at the time.

On other days, the clouds just act up. don't they?

As far as I know, these clouds indicate that despite the fair weather we enjoy right now, there's something else behind it, something unexpected, or expected like a potential torrential storm. These fluffy sky cotton balls are natural indicators of something else behind them.

If anything, the boys are getting on better than I have expected them to. Sometimes, doing the best you can with what you have on hand is the BEST the world can expect from you, Maybe it is the best approach the future for many of us.

Anyway, it's Saturday and I plan to enjoy it the way Saturdays are meant to be enjoyed.

Happy weekend, everyone!

Love,
Marsha

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...

Demanding a Balanced Lifestyle

We live in a world choked with demands….demand for more money, better lifestyle, more holidays, smarter kids, bigger house, posher cars….etc. People walk around with spiritually unimportant goals in their minds driven by the need to succeed and be better than others around them. Hong Kong. South Korea. Japan. Most Asian countries suffer from this ill-fate which have caused a horrific rise in the number of suicide rates in the said countries. Malaysia is no exception as well although we’re very slowly gaining ground on our neighbors. Just picking up my son from school can become a stressful affair. I’ve mentioned this to a few friends of mine over the phone and all of them cluck their tongue shake their head. It’s end of the year and the kids are getting their test results back by now. I overheard a couple of tai-tais (housewives) gripe about their kids’ results. Mom: I don’t know-lah. My kid did not do very well this term. The best also got 95 only. (NINETY FIVE ONLY???) ...
