My babysitter is sick again..!!! in between her technical and vocational schools guide for her university application .. and a court case.. with regards to her ex-b/f .. i think she must have had been stressed out again. But having said that.. all our plans went topsy turvy.. and plus we had to deal with some stupid “ang moh” customer .. who thinks that they can scam us. Long story.. but what a tiring week.
Snow End Of March 2009
I had PB’s tuxedo out for the hospital gala’s – a huge event here in our small town. As small business owners… and just about anyone living here, we feel that it is very important.. that we are involved in charitable work. But at the end of March.. yesterday ..we had snow on the ground.. !!!!!! *slap forehead* .. ! when is the warm coming..?? I promised myself to write this down.. so i know.. and wouldn’t hope too much for the sun.. and warm next year. The weather is crazy here.. one day warm.. and one day snow.. or raining. Suxs big time..!
Parenting 101
It’s amusing when you see how some parents “teaches” their kids. Say for example, your kid was doing something you deem “illegal” .. like say.. buying a lighter. Would you storm into someone’s business and tell them off..?? or would you sit your kid down.. and talk sensibly to the kid..??? Good parenting is doing the common sense thing, if you cannot control your kid, what gives you the right to control someone’s business. Illegal or not.. you talk to your kid.. and not the person who owns the business .. and making a living on it. *shake head*
Summer Project
I wrote about some awesome “xiao” neighbours i have right..?? just a few weeks ago.. who rode on his lawn mower .. at midnite..?? Yes.. !! that ultra “xiao” one.. who cannot seems to get enough of mowing their lawn .. during the summer. .and now winter. So this year’s summer project.. we hope to get some fence installation done. In fact, we had wanted to do it .. a few years ago.. but decided not to.. because we didn’t wanna appear to be hostile. But seeing that they are getting more and more “xiao” every year.. i think we have to protect ourselves.. and our property.. plus our privacy. Wish us luck!!
Pink Head
Keegan our babysitter turned into a pink head a few days ago, she had gone to “evil” S*** to get her hair done. Remember the gal who was working for us some few years ago, and quit. The one who showed her bum on the WWW, anyway .. i digress.
The first time Keegan came back with her new hair colors it was disastrous.. we could see that Keegan was almost in tears. Yah.. she did look pretty dull with the first hair color, then she went back.. and got this color done.. when she was still on recovery from her flu last week. This does look a lot better than the first time she came back with the other hair color.. but still not as desirable as the old stylist she used.. Corey .. i think her name is. But young girl .. like Keegan, they dare to try everything.. which is good lah. I just applaud her for being so brave to use “evil” S*** because she is pretty new with the hair thingie. And by this town standard, she charged exorbitant price ..!!! ouch!!
PS : A picture of evil S***, popped up on the computer today.. and I asked Chloe if she remembered who she was.. she said yes.. but why did she turn evil chloe asked. In which I replied, she was evil all along.. but we just didn’t know before. We’ve made such bad choices with our ex-employees.. and vowed never to hire again .. after evil gal left and truth be told.. we never felt so blissful.
I’ve Got “Xiao” Neighbour !
2 nights ago .. at exactly midnite. .we heard some motor noises .. right at our tv room. The brat had gone to bed late.. and we were just about to transfer her into her bedroom. At about 12.05am.. the noise was still going on.. what a racket i was thinking. Didn’t really think much of it.. since it was really cold that night.. and a snow storm coming. When the noise continued .. we tried to locate where the motor noises were coming from. .and in the middle of the night.. and in complete darkness.. i saw someone riding on the lawn beside our house.. on a lawn tractor. You tell me lah.. can die or not..?? after a while .. he stopped.. but not without going a few more rounds on the lawn. Firstly, we can’t understand it… it’s darn cold out there.. no grass .. since it’s winter..and even if he was fixing his darn lawn mower.. you wouldn’t think he would take it out for a ride at that kind of hour.. and in the cold. You see lah.. I got “xiao” neighbor or not..??
Why Chloe Likes Her New School?
We’ve chatted with a few parents from different schools and chloe’s old school.. and all of them feels that we’ve made the right choice to pull Chloe outta school now and return this fall. But having said that.. and having heard from a parent from Chloe’s old school where they are encouraged to use only french for show and tell, we might not go back to the old school for French. And because of where we lived.. we just might have to send Chloe to the closest school which is what is expected if she was gonna be in just English.
I took Mandarin as my 2nd language .. and English is compulsory as first language back home but my teachers back home didn’t say we can’t speak in other languages when we were in school. Over the last week or so, we had spoken to several parents who have had kids in high school doing French too, and from what’ve heard.. the French classes were quite NAZIs . .if you know what i mean. That kinda scare me a little.. because .. hey..!! we spoke in English & Mandarin and dialects plus a little of Malay back home.. and we all coped.. and none whatsoever gave me the feeling while growing up.. that the schools or teachers were NAZIs about the language. And here i thought .. Singapore was a NAZI country.. muahhahahahaha!!!! I guess i was wrong eh.
Die Laughing
When you bring your kid to work.. like we do, you have gotta be careful what you tell them.. because they will in turn tell the customers. I’m sure you all know we own a video store.. and yes.. we rent adult movies and sell them. They are stored in an adult room.. and we tell the brat that she cannot go in there.. because it’s a “yukky” room.
Today a customer came in and went into the “yukky” room. .and guess what the brat said to him.. ??? She said.. “Eeeewwwwkkkk… you went into the yukky room..!!! that’s gross!!!!” muahahahhahahaha!!! can die laughing or not.. ?? in which the customer replied.. beet red in color .. “yes.. it’s a yukky room” .. muahahahha!!!
Crazy Weather
I said many times.. and i’m saying it again — had i known that the weather here is so erratic .. i would never have come here at all. Yesterday we had freezing rain.. and today .. it was gusting winds.. up to 100km/hr .. and wind warnings. If you don’t know by now.. the cables for power and any kind of cables.. are all hanging up on poles .. like Singapore when we were in the 70s. Unlike Singapore’s government .. they didn’t advance at all.. and have them underground instead. So everytime, the weather turns bad.. i am fearful that we might lose heat and light. And no.. we do not have a wood furnace or a wood stove.. that i regret. If we are gonna continue living here.. i’m gonna have to consider putting one in .. which means.. another couple thousand of dollars… *sigh* ..!!! I HATE THE WEATHER HERE..!!! ok.. drama over.. move along now.
First Day At New School
So I’m sure you want to know how Chloe coped with her new school and new environment. She didn’t wanna wake up in the morning, due to the fact that she didn’t go to bed till late, even though we had warned her about waking up early to go to school the next day. She even choked a little this morning and tried to puke.. but having said that.. she said she wants to go to school (which is a real change because before she would try all means to NOT go to school).
We sent her to school.. and she didn’t fuss or cry.. just changed to her new school’s shoes .. and went along with her friends.. hugged us twice and didn’t look back. No calls from the school either.. and when PB went to pick her up.. she didn’t wanna leave. The teacher in the new school said she did fine.. no crying nor any fuss. I have a video to put up later.. so come back and see what she thinks of her new school eh. I’m happy she is happy.
