'puppet show'

I'm getting a little tired of some 'puppet shows' put up by some so called 'respected' sweepers who treat us like dirt (cheap dirt).
They sweep us under this 'carpet' at one moment and decided we should be swept under another 'carpet' at the next moment.
All they do (or did well) so far was sweeping us around ....
Somehow, I have a feeling that this bunch of dirt will not stay long ... they will follow the wind to a better place ... leaving no dirt to be swept.
Perhaps then the sweepers will realised no matter how well they sweep, they are still sweeping the dirt under the carpets, not into a dustpan.

Honestly, life has got much more to offer than being swept around ... (especially like nobody's business).

a little frustrated tiny speck of dirt

father's side of the stories

=D 1
The new father ran out of the delivery room and announced to the rest of the family who were waiting for the news : "We have twins!"

The familly was so excited they immediately asked : "Who do they look like?"

The father paused, smiled, and said, "Each other'.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
=D 2
A man speaks frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant, and her contractions are only 2 minutes apart!"

"Is this her first child?" the doctor queries.

"NO!!!" the man shpouts.
"This is her husband!"

Different kind of read

I picked up the latest issue of Cleo the other day...
and I found I didn't have the patience nor the passion to finish (or even start reading) it at all.
I forced myself a little to at least read some interesting articles .... but I just couldn't wait to 'get rid of it' just as I started.
Nothing in there really interest me any more (sad to say). Cleo was at some point one of the mag I read diligently.

It makes me wonder ... what is happening?
Is it me or is it the magazine?
I think it ought (it has) to be me... outgrowing the magazine.
My priorities have changed and so do my need & taste in read & knowledge.
Perhaps I'm too old for that 'stage' Cleo is in.

No more Cleo ... Goodbye Cleo ...
Have you ever like reading a certain genre of books / magazines and finding yourself disliking the same genre over time?

Hey, that's my dog

This is our wishbone .... the 'steadiest' dog in the neighbourhood.
just don't ask me how she got up there... she just got up there all by herself.
Sometimes, she'll just sit up there waiting for us to come home.

Fascination box

I went crazy last Friday while shopping with dear at Tesco.

I refused to budge from the stationeries section ... despite numerous attempts to persuade and numerous attempts to threaten me ...haha

There were something there that glued me to it. I couldn't bring my feet to leave.

It's something that has kept me fascinated for the almost 30 years in my life.

I insisted on buying that 'fascination box' despite dear has given me another 'fascination box' with more varieties.

Not enough with that 'fascination box' ... on Saturday, I again went berserk searching for the 'book' that allow me to start using what's inside 'fascination box'.

After a few futile attempts at the pasar malam (night market), I went to the chinese book booth at Tesco concourse area - found some but was too pricey.

We proceeded to the book store, dear was helping me search high and low for the wanted 'book' .... it was located at very strategic place - toddlers / kiddies' eye level =D

There were about 8 selections ... I was only allowed to buy 2 (I took 3 anyway...shhh...hehe)

Upon reaching home, bathing, having dinner & watching movie, I embarked the journey of 'fascination' ...

It was really therapeutic and calming.... (I know what you must have been thinking)
