Jurassic Park …the other version

The yelling, shouting & scolding went on like alarm trigger me every nigh from 9 – 11 pm, Mon – Fri, the poor little boy (6 ~ 7 yrs old) was begging & crying in pain, the smacking sound were clearly heard from the opposite house of mine.

His mother has transformed into dinosaur again, grrrrrraaa….. little boy was scared, crying & running away… dinosaur was holding a school book with a cane on the other hand, grrrrrraaa…. grapping the plastic chair and here goes the hurling all her dismay on the poor school work performance.

I was once wish to become a witch, zoom in with my broom stick, waive my magic wand and turn both them into 2 rabbits, from there on they shall live peacefully & happily together.

I have attended several parenting courses, and most course leaders don’t encourage in hitting, whacking & spanking. in return, they suggested to use alternative non violent methods of child discipline, and manage with an ultimate goal of mutual respect between parent & child.

You may say the expert say nia.... not easy ler, my kid is hyper active, super active, naughty lah, bla, bla, bla... the list went on for 2 full A4 paper.

Fews methods that are not new but effective if the parents do it corrently:-

1. Time up
2. Write sentences to remind him of how he should behave
3. Remove privileges (TV, Playstation, computer games, reduce pocket money, ride bike, stay up late, go outside and play, etc)


To carry out the punishment, the parents need to be patient, consistent, determination & stay firm. Need to give a friendly reasoning before the punishment. After which thank the kid for their co-operation.

Try it by doing a bit differencw and you will get difference outcome, see the result, where no shouting and scolding are needed.

Quote that i Love

What a Friday morning, feeling fresh & energetic, got the mood of dressing up a bit difference, feel great flattered by colleagues. It is Friday that makes everything difference.

Come across the following quote, just love it and noted it down on my little notebook.

What are we today is result of our own past action;
Whatever we wish to be in future depends on our present actions;
Decide how you have to act now.

We are responsible for what we are,
Whatever we wish ourselves to be,
We have the power to make ourselves.

Make sense yah… should concentrate & focus on what is Right now.

Remove Stains from Towel

After long period of usage, towel turns yellowish or black. To clean, soak into water and twist to half dry, spread with soap, dry under the sun, wash & rinse with water.

Repeat it if necessary to get the clean & clear looks.

Experience with AirAsia

First time on board the budget flight, a gentleman dress in casual wear was checking on our boarding pass, with lower expectation still give me a bit of surprise.

Air stewardesses were in red outfit with skirt above knee length, some shorter by 1”, 2” or 3”, the shorter one looks a bit revealing to me, (agreed with Wanita UMNO delegate on revealing too much of legs), bucket is needed to collect bubbles & saliva whenever the stewardess squat down.

Short & long hairs signify the freedom in individual liking. Tony Fernadous once said that their stewardesses were given freedom, not a must to be unified, each will be carried out with their own beauty.

Long hairs will fly & swing whenever the stewardess move, at times, she will use both hands to sweep her hair backward, graceful movement resembles the Pantene shampoo ad. But, she got to make sure there is enough room behind her. Passengers will get unexpected hair sweep to dust away the dirt on their face.

The AirAsia souvenirs were at reasonable price, foreigners loved to own it for remembrance.

Overall, it was quite a pleasant trip.

Yes Madam, Sorry Madam

Via is the name of my new house maid, she is young & energetic, the setback is her forgetfulness. I will find broom & dustpan in my car while driving to work, washing detergent in the garden, shoes beside the oven & many unexpected things in the wrong place.

Whenever I called her in for the unexpected ‘alien’ found, she will come right in front & say, ‘Yes, Madam’ and I went on with the blar blar blar… and with smile she will reply, ‘Sorry, Madam’.

We had a few sessions of Yes Madam & Sorry Madam everyday. Steam was oozing out from my nose, ears & hair. I will soon have free furry curly hairdo.

Due her fast & prompt action, she will come by hopping in whenever I called her, sometimes, out of no where, she just pop out in front of me and cause my heart pause for few seconds.

She has fast response, she will run round the house to beat the time, hmmm… within 3 seconds she can reach the front from the back, not because of her speed but the size of my house.

A total brand new experience and eye opening for me.

I will be happy for next 365 days

2 K is my trade mark - Kia See & Kia Su, I used to go for medical check up periodically, reason is the 2 K not because of age catching up.

My next blood test is scheduled in a week time, I will watch my diet & do whatever exercise needed to beautify my result, at least a pass and not targeting with flying colors.

My ‘Tong Sampah’ colleague is yelling from her cubicle, ‘mommy Choo, you want special order for lunch or not?’ She is slim & young, metabolism rate is high, and whatever input will go straight out without storing.

‘No’ I yelled back, ‘I am on cow & horse diet’ (solely on veges), ‘I wouldn’t want to ruin my result next week’

She come by my cubicle, drop me the bomb ‘you are cheating!’ I reply spontaneously ‘dear, at least I will be happy for next 365 days for getting good result next week’. Follow by a smirk.

My New kakak (house maid)

With knee down bagging to the maid agency, and finally I had my new maid in house, picking her up from the agent shocking me, with her resume in my hand, I ‘inspected’ her from head to toes and toes to head, has she got a facelift or plastic surgery done lately ?

How could she looks so much difference, from XXL to L size, from 30 to 20 years old ? My hair drop after much scratching, walking round her a few times, with disbelieved I uttered to myself, ‘out of spec. out of spec….’.

Sigh…. All my worries arise, I got to protect and lock her up in the house, keep her away from the hungry foxes & wolfs, the construction Indon workers, the Bangladesh, the Vietnamese, the local, the longkang man, the sampah man, the postman, etc, etc & etc. Perhaps wearing tudung and only show her eyes will be the best solution.

She gained instant liking from my kids, my little young son has requested to install air cond for her, my elder son requested to send her for hair re-bonding, getting her furry curly messy hair straighten.

My previous house maid was in mid 30 where she was a good home maker to me, to both of my elder kids (except my young son), she was nothing but like the witty step mother of Cinderella & Snow White.

I keep my fingers cross, ‘cheng cheng’ (praying) to the god, hoping that she can assist me in one way or another.

The Secret

Book entitled ‘The Secret’ said that under the Law of attraction, thought affirmation will become things, meaning that what ever you wish for will become reality.

The book also gave a few proven example on how it works, everything will come thru as you wish. E.g. hold an image of talking to an old friend that you haven’t seen for a long time. Somehow or another somebody’s going to start talking to you about that person. That person’s going to phone you or you‘ll get a letter from her.

There are only 3 simple steps
Step 1 Ask
Step 2 Believe
Step 3 Receive

Ask – you visualize the things you wish for. Believe – you must imagine, pretend, act as if, make-believe that what ever you ask for will deliver to you. Receive – you must feel good, as you think perfect thoughts, as you feel good about you, you will be on the right frequency of receiving it.

It sounds simple yah…

Mon, I want Rocket

Was caught in the jam on the way to tuition, my 6 yr old son was wondering why there are so many rocket flags flying along the road.

Well, am taking this opportunity to start my long winded way of ‘education’ on the 12th Election, this little chap listen with enthusiastic.

‘Mom, I want to vote Rocket’, insisted by him, ‘and I also want you to vote Rocket, and later we can go inside there to see the Rocket, can we ??’

DAP… you have got your branding right by drawing the young voters …. Clap.. clap.. clap..

Gong De Wu Liang

功德无量 or Gong De Wu Liang are the words that I always mentioned to describe myself doing some good deed, repeated for many times till my daughter will say, ’oh no, here is mum again with her Gong De Wu Liang philosophy….’

During the trip to tuition, I will stop by to give ways to pedestrians & cars to cross the road, and I will take this opportunity to educate my kids on the road mannerism, ‘blar… blar… blar… by doing this will cum our good deed and become Gong De Wu Liang (abundance of good deed)….. blar… blar… blar.’ My kids will go on snoring loud despite my preaching, so disrespect to me…

By telling is not enough, I must note down as prove, jot down the number plate, all in a list, a list maybe not enough, a big log book is more suitable, hee… hee….hee… I snigger.

This log book should serve as a key to heaven, I will ask my ah girl to burn it together when I rest for long sleep later, Gong De Wu Liang, Gong De Wu Liang… I murmur to myself.

Xin Nian - the Chinese New Year

Red Color - Red is everywhere…. Red lantern, red ornament, red clothing, red nails, red lips, red hair, …. sometimes, just wondering why the Chinese love to offend & provoke the bull ??

It is good that you did not die at 42

Am playing the CD of Teresa Teng during the trip to Kumon tuition, I told Louis that Teresa Teng is one of my favourite singer, it was pity that she passed away at the age of 42.

After a short silent, Louis said with a smile, ‘mom, it is good that you did not die at 42’.

This little 5 years old son could have sense the fear of dying ….

Room 2511, Towel Please !!

Our trip to HongKong & Shezhen was good and enjoyable, in between we had some spice story to tell.

Upon leaving Shezhen to Hongkong, the whole group in the coach was stopped by the hotel claiming that they have missing towel in room 2511. These 2 middle aged ladies wasn’t very please with the accusation, her brother – crew cut hair with scar of pimples shouted abruptly, ‘who will steal their towel? We know the hotel rules’, loud enough for everyone of us to hear.

After much persuasion from the tour leader, the 2 ladies agreed to search thru the luggage to prove their dignity, big bulky luggage bag was unloaded, everyone from the coach lead against the window to see the happening.

One by one, the clothes was taken out, triangle flag lah, T-shirt lah…. White towel lah, light blue towel lah, checker towel lah, etc.

Sudden, one lady in the coach shouted, ‘Hey, I can recognize the light blue towel, it was from XYZ hotel, the checker towel from ABC hotel….’ And she went on, all the 3rd aunty and 6th granny (to describe the Caring group) in the coach rushed to the window to peep, the coach nearly overturn.

Full of embarrassment, the lady from Room 2511 gradually pulled out a white towel and hand over to the hotel housekeeper. Needless to tell the ending… she brought shame to all of us, even to our country as well.

Always remember that we are representing our country whenever we are in overseas. Try to behave well.

control of toilet paper

!@#%^* there was no toilet paper !! I shouted to the next cubicle to check, Lee responded ‘NO PAPER HERE ALSO!!’

During hand washing time, Lee STRESSED that this was part of Cost Down Project.

Low joined in & suggested to let each of us has a box toilet tissue dispenser with our name labeled.

I suggested installing CCTV on the tissue withdrawal scene to avoid stealing.

Lee said that tissue dispenser should have two buttons, one for small release and one for big business.

Sigh…. This is one of the typical OL (office ladies) talk in the toilet. It really proves that ladies take longer time in the toilet than man.

Ah Neh, what are you doing in my car ??

While we were in our dream land, someone shouted ‘theft stealing our car!!’, abruptly and reluctantly pull out from the dream, try to put ourselves together, instinct told us to arm with stick, rod, umbrella and my son….. with camera ??

Everything happened so fast, some shouted ‘not to go out, he may be armed with weapon !!’ some groaned ‘OPEN the DOOR !!’, some trigger the house alarm, some peeping behind window, it was in total mess…. And no one was take charge

The whole gin gang broke the door out, rush to the car porch, this so called … theft or intruder told us that he wish to sleep in the car. We can smell bear or rather he was drunk or under drug influenced, he dressed in shirt & sarong. We try to stop him by whacking him with whatever we have in hand.

My potential reporter son went on ‘click, click, click…’ the camera flashes, and also video clip the process.

The suspected theft was invited by the police to have free curry rice meal in the bar, 1st charge him for stealing (bicycle was found outside the fencing), 2nd charge him for illegally stay in Malaysia.

Post Mortem on the incident
1. Too dangerous with the participation of the ‘too old’ and ‘too young’, may be held hostages should circumstance arises
2. Got a chance to practice spanking and whacking… like the hero Jackie Chan did
3. Potential of cultivating a professional photographer
4. see the true self of neighborhood

What we lost ?
1. Umbrella handle – broken
2. 3 hours of quality sleep hours

What we gain ?
1. courage
2. Become popular over night – become the talk of our Taman… :)
