Dinotrack

If you remember the weekend we were trying to explore horse riding and ended up empty handed because the trainers were all in Penang for competition. We changed route to KLCC instead of Titiwangsa because the boys wanted to go to sky bridge. Again, we were disappointed because there was so crowded and the queue was so long. Then Scott said he hadn't been to the Petronas science centre, so we tried out luck, again...you can fill in the blank (it was school holidays).

The only choice we had was Dinotrack besides Petronas science centre, which not as popular as science centre. So we went in there and lets the pictures speak:

Actually what I wanted to share with you is that, the naughty Scott, he saw a dino park at the Dinotrack and he loves the idea. So he wanted to imitate the art work, of course, the non professional cannot make the identical one. At the end, I am the 'kuli' (slave) who did all the work for him.

Go to my FB to look at the pictures...like real only! hahaha...

Ah Chew...

The boys have been having running nose often, because they both have allergy rhinitis, it runs in the family. Since both hub & I have it too. Scott will "ah chew ah chew' non stop in the morning...

We took them to consult doctor this morning, the total bill came up to RM816++!

I thought they miscalculated and never in my life have I paid so much for only consultation + medicine.

So I asked the cashier to recalculate and it was correct, RM816++ for both! The doctor consultation fee is only RM60 each. The medicine that cost the most!

Apparently this medicine that is good for allergy and strengthen lungs costs RM250++ a box! Ouch...this is so painful..I'll try to claim under company insurance and hopefully they will be well with this expensive medicine.

So, the bottm line ...don't fall sick if you don't have $. Medical bill can really be a big burden to you. Therefore, if your company is providing dependents insurance coverage, you should feel thankful about it. I heard my company will change the medical package next FY due to cost reason. Since every company is cutting cost, so my company has no exception to this as well. Sigh..I wonder what it will be, better start working on the boys' immune system.

Horse Riding Lessons

We wanted to enroll to horse riding lessons, went to Selangor Turf Club to check things out. But instructors were all out to Penang for competition, ended up the boys started talking to horses.

Scott thought he could ride on a horse that day, but we were there at the wrong time and day. So just simply snapped a few pictures with the horse to satisfy him first.

Few weeks later, I called Selangor Turf Club, found out that the weekend lessons are all full (Who says times are bad?), they only have weekdays morning classes available. So, our dream just pufffff.... :(

Then I turned to Bkt Kiara Club, and they do not offer lessons to children below 10 years old! How can this be? The one who loves horses the most is the one that is below 10 years old!! Grrrr...

Royal Selangor Polo Club is too far for us, so I will not consider going there. Do you know anywhere else offer horse riding lessons?

2 jokes to share

Joke 1

Remember that I've told you about my new office monsters, where they put a sign regarding the food belong to which division, please do not consume?

One of my ex team member move to that team, so she came to ask me questions about user database. She is a good friend of mine, just helping her team to understand how it works, so I explained to her and she left.

So I jokingly told my other team members, I should hang a sign "This analyst belongs to X&X department, please do not consult"...kekeke..

Joke 2

It was my birthday few days ago, one of my best friends didn't even call, sms, msn, or FB me. So I just teased him by asking him what kind of friend am I to him? First reaction from him was:"Why? You wanna borrow money?" . Then I said:"You answer me first!". He went on:"I've no $ woh". I asked him whether I am his good friend, he said yes. So I just shot him:"Then how could you forget my birthday!!!??" Then only he realised ....

This is a classic one. Actually I just wanted to tell him that he forgot my b'day and first thing came to his mind was: I want to borrow money! :(

Good advice from a brother

I chatted with my boys this evening before going to dinner. Sean said he hates the school, (probably because he is not interested in some subjects and he is still not adapting to the system. Yes, after 4 years, he is still not adapting to it. I am not surprised at all for his behavior. Why? Imagine you and I have gone through the same education system 20 - 30 over years ago and our children are receiving the same education system except with different syllabus. So how do you think our children can adapt to the system? Most children are taught differently nowadays, with freedom of speech, with self-respect and confident, outspoken with analysis skill, perhaps. However, the education system still stay at "you listen to me" way.)because students in the school say the F word, you know the word we use most of the time in our daily life, no big deal for us. But I have to act bizzare by it when they told me this. With the :O look on my face and all that. So I told them, if anyone is trying to be mean to you, say mean words or scold you...You just have to say 3 words:"God Bless You!".

So we went off for dinner. As usual, Scott is always the last person finishing his meal. Hubby was getting very annoyed by that and started to nag him. Then he walked away to pay the bill. Sean just blurted to his brother Scott:"You better don't say the God Bless You to dad later, otherwise he will burst!". Hahaha...I was amazed by this reminder from him, how caring yet knowing how to react to his dad's mood.

Scott just kept quiet and finished his meal quickily without saying God bless you even the father kept nagging. :P

Sharing is caring...

If you are going somewhere, will you be sharing with your family on information like, where you are going, how you are getting there, what time you will leave the house, what is the itinerary, how to get in touch with you if anything urgent ...? I bet a normal person will do that, if not to the whole family but at least to the father/mother/wife/husband?

If two persons are living under the same roof, no communications, no common interests, no common plans, no common objectives...Is this normal? When two persons start to fight after exchanging a few sentences, what does this indicate?

Sometimes, it's hard to understand how and why a person behaves and have this kind of thinking. I always have this question in my mind, if one does not even know how to love one self, how do you expect him/her to love others? If one just think of life as a everyday event, can he/she come out with short term/long term plans? I've seen so many examples, so many people like this...

This type of people should stay as bachelor forever, because they do not even know what love is. They just think of themselves, whether they are happy, whether they are satisfied, whether it is convenient to them. They will not consider the feelings of others, whether you like it or not, it's not their problems!

They may show concern for a while and hopefully you will forgive and forget, then they will continue with their lives, and hope that you do the same too. After all the saying, please don't get me wrong, these people are not necessarily the 'bad' people. They may have good hearts, doing charity, not violent, love animals...just that they do not know how to communicate, hoping that you will understand them and agree with them. But I still believe in communication, open communication is very important. A lot of time, lack of communication or miscommunication lead to unpleasant consequences.

It's not difficult at all to open your mouth just to say extra words, it does not cost you anything to say more than what you usually do. You will see and feel the different.

When all are said and done, what's next?

When you have said it, nagged it, screamed about it, mourned about it, cried about it...you have tried almost everything you could, just wanted to get your message across, but you failed. What can you do next?

When you felt normal without one's present, when you didn't even realise when one was not around until you were asked but you couldn't care at all, when you could do almost everything by yourelf. Would you ask, will this additonal person in your life really play a key role, or he is just an additional person, or even a burden?

When you felt wasting effort just to say one more word to him...That must be the moment. The moment that no one would like...

Sometimes, people didn't realise it takes 2 hands to clap. Why God give us a pair of hands, a pair of legs, a pair of eyes, a pair of ears but only with one heart? God want us to find another heart to make it a pair. But if the other one was a misfit, no matter how much time, how much effort you put to nurture and build the foundation, it will collapse one day. It's a matter of time.

One kept putting effort to say it, make it noticed, make it known to the other party. The other one just ignored it.

I am having the moment, the moment I don't feel the presence of someone is needed. I don't realise the presence of him until I was asked. I feel it is a waste of time and effort to try to get my message across. I rather do it myself than to give instructions. I rather be alone ...

What's next?
