Waiting is such sweet sorrow!

Today is the end of April. My car will arrive in July. Hmmm... two months and a half... the waiting. I know if I do not watch the time, it will fly within a blink of an eye. That knowledge still does not appease me.

Anyhoo what else can take my attention away from my BIG job of marking another 280 exam papers, plus another 44 exam paper which just arrived yesterday for another subject. It is exhausting but I appreciate my friend's comments and advice on the marking method. It does help. Loads. Cheers ladies.

I woke up so tired this morning. I thank my Guardian Angel for getting me safely to work. I got knocked out for 2 hours in the morning after arriving in the office. Maybe I am pushing myself too hard. I have to remember that I am pregnant. I promise to do what I can and not kill myself doing what I must do.

Hi Ruth, Lovely name.. in fact it is one of my options if my newborn would be a girl. :) hope you won't mind. The car.. is just under 100K. Quite expensive but I do not see anything in the same range which looks like what it looks like. Actually there are a few brands which are cheaper like the Daihatsu Tereso or there is another brand which I forgot the name of. Anyhoo I would not buy anything that other than a Toyota. My Dad had a Toyota Celica once it lasted and lasted. It was our family car for about 20 years. I think Toyota's are the BEST type of brand for cars.

How did they find a Gem of a Guy?

This blog is not a reference point to give a tried and true method of finding a Gem of a Guy but just a sharing of experience. I have talked to a few friends who had good solid marriages and I summarised what I learned from them in this blog. I wrote it as a continuation to my last blog on why do good girls choose bad boys? Every time I met a friend who had a very steady and good husband I never failed to ask them how they found these guys. The first thing they always say is that they never liked their present husbands initially and that they had other choices whom they preferred more. However their present husbands did not give up pursuing them for months or years. These men did not stop showing them how much they were cared for. These men came to visit the family and genuinely tried to show how they appreciate them in front of their families and friends. These men were not self centered. These men would try and know your likes and dislikes. Eventually the genuine care was evident. ...

Happy Mother's Day!

To all Mothers. Happy Mother's day. I heard from the radio that there was a research done on how much a Mother should get paid if there was something like that. They should get 30K per year. That is for being a cook, house cleaner, carer and at times a psychologist. :) It is hard. I work but I also feel for the mothers who are homemakers. I salute you. I cared for my very sick son for one week at home and the work just does not end for mothers. I am not belittling working mothers for running away from the original responsibilities. I am one myself. I am just saying we should appreciate each other wherever we may be. A mother is a lover to the husband, a house cleaner, a laundry person, a cook, a dishwasher, a carer, a milk making machine, a seamstress, a first aider, a counselor, a giver of life, a DIY expert, and in our some places usually the Breadwinner. Thank you moms for having superhuman strength to do all these. If your kids are still young and nobody thought of giving you a...

Jovial and full of life

I thought about you recently and in my heart I was celebrating the fact that you had soo much of life even towards your old age. I never expected you to leave us so soon (00.45 am 11/08/08). I enjoyed your jovialness and your love for life. The way you would seize the day and just have as much fun as you wanted to. You were always the life of the party. You treated everyone of all walks of life with the same attitude. Happy and warm. You make people feel they are appreciated and loved. I know Penampang will miss your presence at every "Keramaian" (party). I miss you already. You remind me of my own Grandma, your Aunty as well. I miss my "Ina". She was strong and decisive. Always had a mind of her own. My Dad did mention that he thinks I have been made similiar to you and Ina. That is an honour I can not take for granted. You were both strong and believed in your ideas. The only difference was that you were more accessible to everyone at any time. I know you would no...
