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

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...

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...

My Favorite Soup In The World

For some very strange reason, if you gave me a choice between soup and fruit juice, I feel a magnetic pull towards the ‘soup’. It’s a very Chinese thing and I understand that a lot of Chinese people are rather soupy people too. Pardon the word ‘soupy’, my brain isn’t quite working today and it’s like working in ssssllllooooowwww mmmmoooottttiioooonnnn today. Sigh…such is life. Yesterday was a darn hectic day and today is another one – I’ll suffer more today because of the brain-deadedness. My mom makes the meanest soups in the world . Last Sunday, we went over to her place for dinner and she made this absolutely mouth-watering soup that had me gulping down a huge bowl the size of a wok! Darn good…to say that I miss my mom’s cooking is an understatement. She is THE MEGA TERROR cook of the century! I am biased….so? The problem is that nowadays, her memory is not very good, so, once in a while, you’ll see her asking herself, “Did I put salt already ah?” If you’re within hearing dis...
