Handling emotions to stop Murphy's law.

These days I had been shrouded with a cloud over my head.

Everything seemed to be NOT going my way.

I hated myself for hearing my own voice, yelling at the kids.

And man! they just don't listen to you! which made me yelled even more!

Like Murphy's law, everything seemed to go downhill all together.

Then, this morning, I couldn't find my car keys! I was so stressed for the whole morning.

I told myself, this can't be it. I HAVE to get myself out of this spell.

When I went to the school and pick them home, I quickly searched korkor's bag frantically, hoping that the keys are in there. His bag, because I was dragging it home last night for him. It could either dropped in there or dropped somewhere along the way to my doorsteps.

I ALMOST CRIED WHEN I FOUND IT!

Then, I told myself, from that moment on, I NEED to be happy, chill it out when kiddos not behaving and just relax more.

And it worked. The day passed by very well. I didn't care about learning BM or their lessons or their upcoming exam for the day, we just did some painting, coloring circles and the boys played chinese chess. We were all happy for the day. And I ought to be sleeping now. *yawn*

Anyway, just as a topic of discussion here, it's only today I figured losing the car keys is so damn stressful.

Of course there's the spare key. But what if someone else picked up the lost key? Especially in the vicinity where the car should be. It's so easy for anyone to drive off my car.

I went to ask for assistance from the guards, requesting them to keep an open eye on my car, that it should be driven out other than myself. The guards know me and my car by now very well, I don't even need to specify which car and what plate number. Which is both impressive and yet scary to me at the same time.

I asked the hub what can be done if the keys are really lost, are we living our lives on our toes, keeping them crossed that nothing happens? Can we change the lock and alarm just like how we change our padlock if we lose our house keys? He lamented how, and wanna spend a few k just to do that? I was shocked. He said the most we can do is to get a steering wheel lock for it, which would be such a hassle for me whenever I wanna use it.

Anyway, he said, well, if the car is really stolen, better still, then he could claim insurance and change a new car. Probably he's just kidding, I was hoping, as I sure not wishing to be driving a Kancil. Then again, he was harping on his dream car for a long time now, I wonder....

In any case, I sure need not worry now. What a relief it had been.
