The Price of Love
When it comes to Adrian, there is no price limit. Well, so at least I hope that's the case. But living in this present world with the rising of prices in almost everything on the shelf. Perhaps we need to control our lifestyle or degrade our living needs. But should we deprive Adrian from having the best? Everytime when I replenished his milk or diapers supply, his "papa" will be sweating with anguish and his fingers will be tapping the calculator to reconfirm his budget. Alas, he will be saying, no more new clothes/toys until next year. Poor Adrian, he will be stuck in his old clothes, I won't let that happen as I will be working in disguise to get him new clothes/toys simply by implying that these clothes/toys were either present from "somebody" or they were bought long ago. Yes I will continuosly spoil him ...that is the price I have to pay.....love!!!!!

Aftershocks???
So, Dr. M quits. The share markets slipped off its tracks. There goes our economy. I really wonder when will our politician (not to mention the people who manage this country) will ever grow up and focus their attention and energy towards the country's affair and economy. Or would they rather to play "point-the-finger-at-who's-at fault" game. It's a sad state of affair our country is embracing.
People are now fanatical about everything, from creating the biggest mooncake to sending the model-cum-doctor-cum-spaceman(I wouldn't call him astronaut coz to be an astronaut, one must go through intensive "YEARS" of trainning) spending millions of our blood-sweat money in the name of glory (unsubstantial-glory). How can we act upon such stupidity spending when the basic needs of "rakyat" like clean water and education is still deemed far from reach????
If these so-call electives still behaves like kids, I guess we now need a diciplinary teacher to "ajar" them betul-betul. But, then again, why do want to let kids run our country?

Dr M quits?
I wouldn't say if it's the joke of the day, but I can clearly note that it seems like the whole scenario is like ...a playground with kids playing. "One" of them has been leading the whole packed and subsequently resigned and he appointed a new successor. This successor goes against all rules the "One" laid upon and now "One" stamping all the way as the successor bent all the rules to let his friend to join the pack. The "One" now demanded the successor to step down and the latter disregard his intention. "One"now tarik harga and want to leave the playground and he would bring friends along...
Kids will be kids....
Kids will be kids....
What's Next
After a series of natural disaster hitting across the regions, we need to take some time off to ponder and reflect upon what have we done to mother-earth until she response so violently? Yes, we have been greedy, irresponsible, selfish etc and yet mother continously shelter us to many of us had taken for granted.
And yet shouldn't we have learned from past events that with regard that we still inhabit in her territories, we could at least take care of her. Sad to say, actions always speaks less louder than words.
Oh mother-earth, I take regard of you as if you are my own mother and I will take care of you as if you are my children.

A's for nothing
Rejection is a painful topic and my heart sinks for her. ( http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/5/14/nation/21240224&sec=nation)
I was having a discussion with my hubby the other day of whether we should consider chinese vernacular school for Adrian to be enrolled in ( I know it's a little bit too early those talks).
Although I admired these schools for thier strict diciplines and their attentiveness in the pupils education, I must admit that sometimes they are way overboard with the diciplines and homework. I was told the teachers in these school give a lot of homework to the pupils, and I was also told that some of these children were not able to cope with the pressure of homework and that they were to stay way past their bedtime just to finish their homework. Do we need to put our children through the mental torture. Are we really being measure by how many A's we have? Not to mention other strict diciplines regimes (eg hair (for boys) must be of the army style) and I pity those children piling their backs with kilogramms of school books.
I won't want Adrian to go through such torture, just to prove that he is brilliant. I wan him to grow on his own paced and, not being peered at. I want him to enjoy his childhood. Strings of A's doesn't mean anything nowadays. You can't even be selected for the "preferential elite". Well, if our education system is going to be like that, I would prefer Adrian not to go through the torture. I would want him to explore his potentioal whether in terms of skillfulness or academically. And I woild like to tell him, A's is not a big deal for me!!!!

We have been duped
We have been duped into believing that our economy is doing well.
We have been duped into believing that our GDP is at a healthy growth.
We have been duped into believing that our income per capital is sustainable..
What a crap....
It came to my attention that 20 years back, on average, we earned 3 times more than an average Korean did. And look what had happen now...
I've been told that the "Samsung" branding has reached its world wide phenomenon, meaning to say you can see their product being such a hit in the European markets and above all worldwide.
The fact is our economy is ailing and yet we have been told that we are indeed well ahead...my guess is ahead of who???
The logic isn't hard to be comprehand. In a ceteris paribus environment, by now we see our local brands like Air Asia (although relatively new), or Astro being internationally acclaimed, but unfortunately not. Where did we go wrong? And yet do you still believe we are doing well?

They sent him home ...
A relative of mine collapsed at his house last night and was rush to the hospital via the ambulance service. They sent him to this particular Govt Hospital which was near his place. The medical personal diagnosed him as blood sugar disorder and they have no qualms to sent him home along with his medication. Sensing that something is admist, as his brother noticed that he's not able to control his bladder and bowel, he rush him to a private hospital. Sadly the doctor confirmed that he suffered cerebral haemorrhage and scheduled an immediate operation for him. He's now still in the ICU, recuperating.
I was at dismay and enraged on the Govt hospital prognosis on him. Don't they have a trained personnel on duty or on call in the event such cases happened. We are talking in the matter on a human's life. Imagined what would happend should he took the Dr's advised and just went home and sleep on it??? Is it another case of the "amputated-arm baby in Klang?" Shouldn't people in the medical line take more responsibility in their line of duty. Where were the days where medical personnel are more caring and attentive ? Do we need to loose another human life to proove that the civil sector sucks???

Eat Salty Fish and bear the thirst
I know blogging is the "in-thing" right now, but whatever I put on the cyberspace I have to put with "due diligent" (I don't want to end up like RPK-MalaysiaKini fiasco). And yet again conscience will be "slamming" on the back at my head for what I believe in. Right now, I am adopting the "Words speak louder than action" or "No-Action, Talk Only"(NATO) attidude for the time being as I am still Da' new kid around the "blog" and I knew with my eccentric personality, words just couldn't shut me up.
I want to blog but I must must be responsible for its consequences. As the Chinese saying goes: If you eat the salty fish, you must bear the thirst. HAh... and I love salty fish!!!!

It's the time of the year....yet again...
You submitt already??? Yet again, it's the time of the year whereby taxpayer are taxing every greymatter they have over a bunch of bills and crunching the numbers. Oh yes, and yet again, there are bound to be some people (either they were born with lackadiscal attitude or not) are deemed to be last minute goers.I just could understand why people enjoy the wonderful hassle of crowding. Maybe bacause they each have this thought in mind" Well, the more, the merrier". Well a true example of "How to survive Living in Malaysia"
P/S, FYI I submitted mine long time ago, thanks to the wonderful technology of internet.....

My paranoia will kill me!!!!
Why as Adrian is pacing himself to life greatest challenges, from sitting to crawling and now walking unaided, my heart virtually skip a beat for every move he endeavour. Come to think about that I wonder how many lifetime seconds my heart stop beating.
But then again, being part and parcel of parenthood, this is something I have to bear with, sort of like if you buy curry mee, you must have the gravy as well. Whoa!! boy, it’s gonna be a lifetime full of challenges head!.
Adrian is beginning to be inquisitive, adventurous, “experimenting with everything he manages to grasps, and now with his new ability to walk, the kitchen and the staircase are bound to be forbidden territory to him. And yet…. He will “naively” stumble to these places not realised by us and even himself.
And the public places seem to be unchartered territory for him, It’s a vast open area of opportunity for him to venture and explore. Once I almost “lost” him is an departmental store when he craftily crawled himself out from our supervision, only for me to realized moments later at which tears were already draining down from my eyes.
I know I might be a little over the board with supervision fuss over Adrian, but if I don’t my paranoia will kill me. But then again I would have , yet again lost a feww heartbeats as well!!!!!!
