And My Journey Thru' Breast Cancer
Yes! this kid – pretty Mak Kepo (Ms Busybody) and very possessive – she needs to be the first one to see stuff or touch it – I wonder why because we’ve always taught her not to – and we are not as excited as she is when we receive something in the mail. But having said that – she is afterall a kid – so what do I have to do – to change her to the “proper” way – pray tell!
Chloe felt ill suddenly during dinner time – first she had a tummy ache and then followed by a fever and you know she is really sick when she didn’t asked for milk before going to bed. She haven’t even completely recovered from her cold and cough from last week and she got sick again – oh my! it’s gonna be a busy week for me – with her not in school for a few days.
Like any mother we first worry about why she is having a fever suddenly – is her immune system so poor? is there something she can take for it? and then of course, there is school that we have to worry about – since she missed already a few days last week and the week before – can she catch up ?
Of course, the doctor situation isn’t the best here in this small town – where you have to make an appointment or go to the hospital and sit in the emergency room for hours – at times like this i truly wished i was in singapore – I bet she can get to see a pediatrician immediately. Anyway – I will update on her situation – time to go spend time with the kid.
My heel hurt for a few days now – and being diabetic – I’m a bit worried about it but I decided to try what I tried last year by buying a more supportive foot liner. But after a few days – these gel heels didn’t really worked for me, so I guess I have to push to see the family doctor again.
Just our luck ! the kid is sick and we had car problems. At first, we thought it was the engine but I guess not – and a trip to the local mechanic told us otherwise. Car cannot be fixed immediately as he need to order a shaft coupling – so we were quite handicap without our car for a few days – since the car acted up during the weekend – the same time the kid got sick.
Our car was bought just before the kid turned 1 years old and she is already 8 yrs old this year – so it’s getting old but we really have no huge complain about the car – it had served us well. We finished paying for it 3 years ago – and it is only regular maintenance that we spend money on the car. So this time – it’s the first really major problem we’ve had, so we ain’t going to complain that we need to wait for a shaft coupling for a few days. Thank God – our car is finally fixed today – because really we can’t go without our car. Time to think about getting a second car just in case.
Darn ! I lost my voice and currently am hacking my lungs out! I bet I caught the cold from PB – who had been hacking his for a few days now causing me no sleep. But I can’t complained else he will feel bad about it. So now revenge time for me tonite and the next few nites – hahahha!
Christmas eve came and went – and I woke up very tired the next morning because the kid didn’t wanna sleep on the eve and woke up extremely early on Christmas day excited to open her presents. We didn’t get to bed will almost 4am last night because Chloe kept waking up asking if it was time yet – or if Santa came yet. So it took us some time to wrap up all the presents we got for her and those from Santa. But it’s finally over and another 364 days to Christmas again !
First of all – I’m glad I’m not a Muslim in Malaysia and after you’ve watched the above ridiculous news – you will know why and understand where I’m coming from. To think that in this age and time – there are women who would believed and follow such a ridiculous order – now that is crazy ! how backwards is that? No marriage can survive a polygamy marriage – like PB said – one woman in the household is already a headache – to have more than 1 woman – that’s just asking for trouble.
But to think that one would enter a marriage to be very, very obedient to their husband/spouse? what? you mean you are a dog? or worst – a slave? we don’t even use the word “obedient” for raising our kids – these days – so why would a marriage have the word “obedient” in it? Shouldn’t a marriage be of a equal partnership? a life together ? what a pity – to be completely obedient was what the bride said in the youtube video.
So what does this complete obedience comprised of? to fulfill his every need and desire – so said the buck -teeth woman – to sexually please him better than a first class prostitute? * raised eyebrows* – so now to be a Muslim wife you have to be better than a first class prostitute? what a way to compare yourself to a prostitute? are you sure you want your husband to treat you like one too? since you behave like one? does it also mean that you can service his friends/business associates in bed too – afterall, you are better than a first class prostitute – and also full obedience needed in this case right? Isn’t that why the Obedient wives club is all about? Afterall, you don’t want your husband to stray out of matrimony – but it’s ok for him to have up to 4 other woman in his life – for wives? holy moly !!! all the fluids passed in between wife one – wife number four during the various days he is served by his wives – mannnn!!! that cannot be too healthy can it?
Now what baffled me most was this highly educated Muslim woman who grew up in Western Australia!!!! now that one really, really stunt me – Mariana was her name – she is young and very pretty too – and to think that she would agree to be the 4th wife? What’s up with that right? holy moly! No disrespect, but I never wanted to marry an Asian – having seen what my mom had to go thru’ and how we were brought up – but of course, not all Asians are this way – but I wasn’t going to test it out. Thank you very much.
P.U. – what does it mean? I’ve never heard of P.U. till chloe started school and each time her school friends or camp friends say that the food she eats is P.U. – she becomes so embarrassed and stopped eating immediately. So each time she comes home with all her lunch intact – I know something is not right. This week – I gave Chloe some rice with chinese mushrooms and whole mushrooms with oyster sauce for her lunch and she brought almost everything back without finishing it. Apparently, one of her classmate – said her food was P.U. meaning “smells rotten”
So what do you do – if you were the mom? we encouraged her to talk to her teacher about it – but she won’t, then what do we do? we write a note to the teacher – hoping she would address it of course – so we’ll wait and see what happens? or do I take the easy way out and not give her food that she likes? I know that Chloe needs to grow some backbones and not be too bothered by what other children say – but she is and no matter what we say – she is just offended. I don’t want to teach my kid to be rude and say P.U. back to her friends – it’s tough being a kid when we were kids – it’s even tougher to see our kids being a kid *sigh*.
Someone very wise told me a month ago – that if I didn’t like something, change it. Life is too short – live life to your fullest – do things you love and don’t waste time over-analyzing and I took his advice. My life is here in Canada – there is no going back and there is no way – I’m going to take care of others before my own family. Once that was settled, I knew exactly what I had to do. And I also learned that everyone have their bragging rights and if you don’t like it – then I can choose not to listen and walk away – the same for those who don’t like to hear me.
Yes! I’m very blessed! I’ve got a good spouse and an awesome and funny daughter, I haven’t “really” worked since I came to Canada and I loved what i do online – and I’ve good advertisers who look out for me and my friends often. My health is getting better everyday and I’m spending time with Chloe and able to do things with her more than I did before. Plus, we have good business acumen and do not have to worry about our daily expenses. What more can I asked for right?
Chloe will be going back into school in a few days – and that means the summer holiday is ending for her soon. Unfortunately, PB hasn’t planned anything at all the entire summer *sigh*. Why am I not surprised? I realised today there are 2 things I cannot depend on during summer – #1 – is for PB to plan for us a holiday or a good time and #2 – my plans for Chloe to bond with her grandparents during the summer – these 2 things never seems to work at all. Am I upset ? A little. Am I disappointed? Very! The cold weather will be setting in really soon – and to go anywhere – would just means you have to keep that sweater on – and sometimes be in the rain. So even if we do go to the city in September or October – I wouldn’t enjoy it as much as during the summer. And again this summer – no Clement’s park or the zoo *sigh*. Oh well! what can I do right? wait till i burst and go crazy I guess. Tis’ my life!
