Remote Controller

From now on, there's a new remote controller in our home. Adrian is not relying on us to change the channel to the one he wants to watch anymore. No more pleading, begging and crying. He mastered the know-how. So, KT has another headache. Apart from his mother-in-law and Joshua and me fighting for the channel preference on the TV, Adrian will be fighting for his right too! Hahaha...

Boy! Wait till he knows the trick to watch dvd...

1st Report Card Day

Last Sat, I went to my son's school for my very first "Report Card Collection Day". I guess it's more of a significant day for me than for my son. And it's unlike those report cards that nice sweet kindy teachers prepare for the parents, saying everything a parent would be proud to hear about their offsprings.


I was more eager to hear about what the teacher got to say about his behaviour and attitude in class than the marks he gets for his tests. Was really worried that she would start complaining about him being naughty, daydreaming all the time, or what else there are. Where should I start digging hole to put my face when faced with such situation, I wonder.

But it was ok, she said he's quite a nice kid, and he would come up to her to ask her questions about the things he doesn't understand, which not all the rest of the class would do. I guess that's a good sign?

She also mentioned he talks chinese like an angmoh, so that's one part we need to help him improve on. Sigh.. life is getting stressful for me indeed.

Anyway, with his own efforts and very little guidance from me, he reached the position in the "First 15" is good enough from me. Looking back, I think I didn't do as well as him when I was at his age.

Hope he would keep on drowning his teachers with his never ending questions..

The differentiation

There are 3 types of people in this world :
1. To make things happen
2. To watch things happen
3. Wondering what happened.

I probably heard of that before, but somehow when I heard it again yesterday, it just hit right there... somewhere.

As a friend said before, the brilliant guys behind some big-money-making websites were actually not so brilliant. The ideas were not BIG ideas. Any normal person might have thought of that ideas too. What differentiates them from the normal person is that .... they MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Isn't that so true? We all identify what we need, and with a need, there comes the demand and thus, comes the supply. There's where the money comes rolling in, with a bit of hardwork too.

Girls meet

On Labours Day, we held an "all girls meet" in 1U for lunch.



It was an enjoyable and pleasant afternoon. We went to Chillis (my suggestion!), more for the bottomless drinks and its succulent lamb. They were very smart, made me talked and before I knew it, the food were all gone and I was left with nothing. *Grrr*

After lunch, we helped our stomachs to digest the food by walking around some bookstores, then felt like sitting down for another drink again. Shows how old we are now!

During the tong-sui session, the girls made me showed my "see-lai" image by prompting me to talk about the mastery of "floor cleanliness", my goodness! Imagine how our topics changed so drastically from "men and dating" 10 years ago to "how to sweep and mop the floor the 21st century" now.

But I guess all of us laughed a lot that day. It was surprisingly, a very pleasant and enjoyable company that afternoon. I guess none of us had any other agenda, just purely to meet up as old friends, which made the company so comfortable.

LM is seriously endulging in her photography hobby, as she took out her bulky and cool 8Megapixels SLR digital camera and snapped pictures of us. We were the reluctant models for the day. Hope she would become famous one day for her photography skills. Take a look at her pictures here.

Meanwhile, the updates we have, for the benefit of our friends, LL is getting ready for the arrival of her twins, MK is seriously training to be a line-dancer, Esther is on the way for her retirement as a nanny. As for JM, she's busy being a "GRO" for her high class customers.. accompanying them to Pangkor Laut resorts for so-called meetings.. Hahaha... ( It's actually an envious remark here.. we had been dreaming of going to Pangkor Laut all these years but feels it's too expensive).
