Bickering nonstop.

Meimei recently implemented a point system for "who-loves-her rank" on her own initiative. So far, only didi acknowledges her system while korkor totally feels it's her tactic of manipulation.

As such, didi and her form a sort of "alliance" and would be "joining hands" to bully korkor. Of course, he didn't care much, but at times when they keep on bickering, it just annoys the nerves out of me.

There was a day they start their bickering from the moment they woke up for school, then I got some sort of a break for my ears in the morning and then, continued torturing me for the rest of the day when I fetch them home. Major sien!

Last night in the car, driving them home, didi and korkor were at their throat ends again and I was very very impatient.

Each of them has some complaints about the other. I was so sick of it all. I said they are driving me an all time crazy high and I would, one day vanished into thin air. *poof*

I lectured, if they keep on with this habit of complaining and whining about everyone around them, they wouldn't be happy in their lives when they are older. And they would have forgotten how to be thankful and appreciative of what they have as well, when they are SO obsessed with this habitual way of thought.

Which brought me to give this assignment to them (knowing kids switching off their ears when it's lecture time) - to think of something that the other had done for him/her and thank them for that.

I had a moment of silence from then on while they ponder about it quietly on their own.

Tell them la, whenever they complain about someone, it means they are that same thing. That is God's rule. Whenever they complain about something, it will happen even MORE to them. kekekeke....

My Friday favorite time of the week

 Long ago, I used to look forward to every Friday 5.30pm. I would rush to prepare dinner and settle all that was needed to be done before 4....
