There was this lady that is always at the playground with her grandson. I always wondered why is she the way she is, overprotective. She'll be hovering around the kid, "M... careful. M, don't run so fast. M, slowly. M, watch out. M ..*wipe sweat*, M, drink water. M..... M....M.....M......" she'll be running together with the active kid all over the playground.
So it's been like near to 3 years I have been staying at this taman. But I seldom go to the park cos I'm alone with 2 kids and I think with the crime rate now, it's pretty dangerous to go to the park if there's not many ppl around. And if I'm there I'll be like a hawk , guarding my kid from nearby and I'll stare the hell out of anyone who would bully my kid.
So anyway, one fine day we're sitting on the swing and suddenly she said to me "You know, why I am so protective over M?" Wuah.. I thought "eh this woman can read my freaking mind wan leh!". Then she told me about how she used to guard the kid from nearby and she'll chat with the other moms and grandmas. Then one day, her grandkid suddenly just stood there and cried out loud. He kept saying his bum is painful. And when she checked his bum, it was burning red like as if someone placed a burning iron rod on his bum, one straight line. She then asked M to come and showed me the scar. Its was very clear and it was huge. That happened 2 years ago and the scar is still very visible.Imagine he was only 3 then. She then asked the ppl arond what happened and no one know what happened. In fact whoever who was at the playground was all the ppl she knows. So they rushed the kid to emergency ward and the doctor came and asked M's mum who took care of M while this happened." Is it the maid?" And when they said it was the grandma the doctor said "okay, I don't want to ask anymore questions". Until now, no one know what happened. Of course she got blamed for what had happened and she is now so worried that something happened to the kid again while in her care.
Poor woman, she is helping her daughter to take care of the kid and the responsibility to take care of a kid is really huge, just imagine the stress. I must say, I felt sorry for her and also mad at myself for judging her for being overprotective without knowing the history. So when you're pissed at someone for being overprotective, maybe... just maybe they have a history that made them that way. :)

Speak Mandarin
Jayden: Mami, who coloured this toby face with brown colour?
Me: Ni yau wen wo tung shi, ni jiou chiang hwa yi la (你要问我东西，你就讲华语啦-if you wanna ask me anything then you need to use mandarin to ask me) [fuiyoh... like real. actually the mother dunno how to speak mandarin. Saja bantai only]
Jayden: *think think*. Mami, WHO 颜色 (colour) Toby?
Me: :S hehe wo pu chi tau wor... (我不知道噢)
It's so funny cos he direct translate the colour with colour pencil and he doesn't know how to say WHO in mandarin and he mixed both the english and chinese together. Funny, but at least he tried. And soon he will be the one laughing at me cos he is going to chinese school.

TooT!
We're supposed to have a reno in our house. Supposed to do it like months ago. But got delayed because of so many issues. And the recent one seems so real, like IT IS GOING to happen. But it never did.
My contractor was supposed to work for me. But my neighbour's neighbour had been using my contractor at her house before he come over to work at mine. So one day, add one window. Then see, see, why not add another window. Then see samo, paint this wall. See samo, why not paint this wall also. Then see samo, why not we make a balcony like hers. Add ha.. Add ha.. it's like one freaking month and the fler is still adding more things. I got pissed and started to rant at my immediate neighbour about it. I said "i felt like going to him and tell him U slowly add la.. whole year add also nehmind. I find another guy to do my house". My neighbour, I think she felt sorry cos she was the one that passed my contractor's number to the other neighbour. So she quickly went and told the contractor about it. And then, the contractor told my husband that he's done with my neighbour and can start reno-ing our house the next day. But looking at the condition of my neighbour's house, we know it's not 100% done yet.
He came and measure and "YA, YA, YA, BOLEH" and I told him. YOU MUST finish this reno before chinese 7th month. And his eyes went big. I said "if you don't have confidence that you cannot finish on time, then postpone". But then I guess he wanted to secure the deal so he said "BOLEH".
So my hub and I quickly move the pots and pans into the living hall. Oh by the way, we're shifting the toilet which is located smack right in the middle of the house to the back corner to make way for a bigger dry kitchen. My hub moved the dining table to the side, all chairs up. Things all moved everywhere. I haven't been cleaning much cos what is the point right? Cos when u reno, one part of the house the entire house gets dirty. So clutter everywhere, dust.. Argh!
And then the day came and he sms "kereta rosak. Esok baru datang". NiaTooT ah!.
Fine.
2nd day, Kereta rosak again.
I told my hub you go and tell him, takpe. Hari hari rosak pun tak apa. Tak Payah Buat.
But of course my hub didn't say like that. He samo say, "tak apa la..buat lain hari la. Lepas Hari raya". I am surprised he didn't wished him Selamat Hari Raya also. :|
And u know what? right after my hub left my house, my neigbhbour called and told me that the contractor is at my neighbour's neighbour house. Probably collecting money. Oh.. kereta sudah baik kah? I never bother to ask. I just smsed my hub about it.
Then my neighbour went to "investigate". Chewah.. so professional! and found out that he is not done there. Still got more to do. But since my neighbour didn't pay him full, he also stopped his work. You wait for me, I wait for you. And then I wait for them. Sien or not?
And now the pots and pans are still in the living hall. The dining table is still at the wall with tones of stuff on it. Chairs stacked upside down. To clean or not to clean? The house is damn cluttered with things all over. I'm not a very "neat" person but then looking at the condition of the house, my brain gets cluttered. I come home (well, I am always home, right?) I see my house.. wah sien.... so sien.... Lepas hari raya wor.. Selamat Hari raya lor! Toot!

DIY/M: handphone-bag-while-charging
My new hobby is browsing Pinterest. I sit down, drink my coffee and browse and browse and browse samo.. (okay cut short!) and then I like, I re-pin, I like, I re-pin the things that I like. One of the thing that I saw was this thinggy that you put on yr plug while you charge your handphone so that it's neater and easier to find your phone. So since I bought some printed felt, I thought why not sew it and it only took me 5 mins (with sewing machine) to do this.
Nice hor?
Sigh... this website is seriously addictive. I have so many things-to-do in my head before I browse and after I browse, I have MORE things-to-do. sigh.......*click X and return to pinterest*
