Children's talk

Every weekend, my routine is all around my children, I will have either 2 of them with me or 3 altogether.

As usual, the children will chat among themselves while I am busy driving, and the most happy and funny one would be my youngest daughter - Jolene.  She is 3 and learning to speak and most of the time, she copy-cat her siblings.   

They always confused her like asking her if she is a boy ? and expect her to say yes for most of the answers.  Sometimes she got it right..sometimes obviously she made us laugh.

Today, they teased her or I would say bullied her, asking her if she likes ko-ko or cheh-cheh.  For a start, she followed if the question ended with ko-ko or cheh-cheh as the answer.  Next, when she was asked again, hahaha...I have a good laugh, her answer is ko-cheh.

This reminded of what my son told me before almost one and half years ago, he said since they do not have papa, they should call me ma-pa or pa-ma....as I doubled the role of a father and mother !

This laughter is what keeps me young and happy....what a good remedy to stay healthy !

Love Quote

I am not a Christian, but I read this from my blog (one of those Love Quote by Google gadget) and I find it very meaningful and I like to post it here !    To all who celebrates this special day, Happy Easter, have a blessed weekend !

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres". 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Handy Woman

It is Saturday and it seems like a day getting things fixed up in the house !

I guess it is my nature that I can't leave things in the house unfixed !  Since day 1 I became "Mrs XXX", I realised I have been a handy wife.  Perhaps it is my independent nature that I overtook the role of managing the household.  If you ask me if I like it that way, not really !  I like to be a wife not a handy wife.   But at home, we need to have one handy person or a person who will organise the household, I proudly became one...lol !

Basically what I really need is to ask and to seek advice before I proceed, and I will get things done.  Just a matter of getting some advice if that is right way to do it.   I think nowadays, women are equally good in managing house hold !

No matter how independent I can be, I feel it is necessary to have someone whom we trust and we can ask opinion !  For example, I never knew much about my car, technically how do I keep up the condition of the car, somehow, I am forced by circumstances to deal with it.   So, it is good to ask for advice before I go ahead.

Why do I post about this ?  Coincidently a few things in the house didn't work and I got them fixed.   I remember sometimes ago, I had never dealt with the PC in the house, and it broke down.  I have no clue how to fix it, I was totally lost as it was maintained by my husband.  At that time,  I felt the frustration and I don't know what to do and who to call, can you imagine I don't even know the password and I depended so much on him ! Finally, I searched the newspaper, found a small ads and since then he became my PC repairer.

What I am saying is, everyday it is a learning lesson for me.   At some point in my life, I lost the dependency of someone, and I desperately need to find a way to survive on my own feet.  And I always feel, I live a life that unconsciously has groomed me as a independent person, funny but maybe it is true, prepared me to face the challenges in life. 

Well, this is more so dealing with nitty gritty of life, but on emotional level, I guess I am coping ok but it is still human nature that we need to have companionship.  I can't imagine living a life without love, friends and family ~ to love and be loved, I like both !

Have a good weekend, it has been a good one for me so far :)

Your smile made me smile

I often have friends telling me they like my SMILE :)

I wonder if that is true, do I really have a smile that could warm a person's heart ? I don't have a Monalisa's signature smile unfortunately. Do I really make a person smile looking at my photo ?  

My smile is sincere, kind and genuine.  And when I smile, it is truly from the bottom of my heart, no faking unless I don't feel like smiling..at times I would !  It is not about just flexing the muscle on the face, but if you feel happy, it is naturally a warm smile !

I always feel smile is contagious, I remember once someone asked me how are you ? I replied, I am feeling good and happy, and immediately he could sense a smile on my face, and he replied, I am smiling too.  Your smile made me smile !  

I live a simple life and I care to see others smile and always do.  And if my smile could bring happiness to someone, it is indeed my great pleasure.  

Always remember to be happy because you never know who's falling in love with your smile.  

Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.  ~Mother Teresa

WAYS TO TURN DOWN UNWANTED MEN !!!!

Have a good laugh ! Can be useful...lol !

HE : Can I buy you a drink? SHE : Actually I'd rather have the money. HE : I'm a photographer. I've been looking for a face like yours.  SHE : I'm a plastic surgeon. I've been looking for a face like yours.  HE : Hi. Didn't we go on a date once? Or was it twice?  SHE : Must've been once. I never make the same mistake twice.  HE : How did you get to be so beautiful?  SHE : I must've been given your share.  HE : Will you go out with me this Saturday? SHE : Sorry. I'm having a headache this weekend. HE : Your face must turn a few heads. SHE : And your face must turn a few stomachs. HE : Go on ,don't be shy. Ask me out.  SHE : Okay, get out. HE : I think I could make you very happy. SHE : Why? Are you leaving?  HE : What would you say if I asked you to marry me?  SHE : Nothing. I can't talk and laugh at the same time.  HE : Can I have your name?  SHE : Why? Don't you already have one?  HE : Shall we go see a movie? SHE : I've already seen it.  HE : Where have you been all my life? SHE : Hiding from you. HE : Haven't I seen you some place before? SHE : Yes.. That's why I don't go there anymore.  HE : Is this seat empty? SHE : Yes, and this one will be if you sit down. HE : So, what do you do for a living? SHE : I'm a female impersonator.  HE : Hey baby, what's your sign? SHE : Do not enter.  HE : Your body is like a temple.  SHE : Sorry, there are no services today. HE : If I could see you naked, I'd die happy. SHE : If I saw you naked, I'd probably die laughing.

Best of me

A song to remember how I appreciate this day !

BEST OF ME by Daniel Powter...hope you like it !  Good night and sweet dream..may tomorrow be another great day for you and me !

I was made the wrong way
won't you do me the right way
where you gonna be tonight
'cause I won't stay too long

maybe you're the light for me
when you talk to me it strikes me
won't somebody help me
'cause I don't feel too strong

Was it something that I said
was it something that I did
or the combination of both that did me wrong

You know I'm hoping you'll sing along
Though it's not your favorite song
don't wanna be there when there's nothing left to say
you know that some of us spin again
when you do, you need a friend
don't wanna be there when there's nothing left for me
and I hate the thought of finally being erased
baby that's the best of me

Everything's behind you
but the hope still stands beside you
living in every moment
have I wasted all your time

Was there something that I said
was there something that I did
or the combination I broke that did me have

You know I'm hoping you'll sing along
though it's not your favorite song
don't wanna be there when there's nothing left to say
you know that some of us spin again
when you do, you need a friend
don't wanna be there when there's nothing left for me
and I hate the thought of finally being erased
baby that's the best of me
baby that's the best of me

You know I'm hoping you'll sing along
though it's not your favorite song
don't wanna be there when there's nothing left to say
you know that some of us spin again
when you do, you need a friend
don't wanna be there when there's nothing left for me
and I hate the thought of finally being erased
baby that's the best of me
