To Love or NOT to Love??

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

To love or not to love?? Seems very simple, but it’s really a tough problem. It’s so sad when a couple are in love and can’t be together…..But isn’t it’s more Earth Shattering when you find that you are living together but you’ve lost the love for each other!!……As the quote says ‘Love like you’ve never been hurt before’ And i would say, ‘In order not to get hurt, do not fall in love’ Easier said than done…you can keep away from the one who loves you, but it’s so heart wrenching to even look away for a second from the one you love! Especially the kind of feel when you missed someone, you feel as tho there’s a lump in your throat and it tasted metallic! Whatever you do, it reminds you of him..You’ll always try to find things that remind you of him. Sweet messages that he sent you, pictures…but you’ll never feel tired of going thru over & over again!! Keep waiting for that sms to come in…or a call will be even better…But afraid of disturbing someone in his work or deprive him of what he’s doing, we could only read thru his sms over & over again…wondering what he’s doing & if he have enough rest? Maybe it’s being silly, but the sense of feeling of belonging & missing someone makes you calm and yet caused ripples in your boring life!! However, I’m feeling so happy & blessed now cos he’s backin my life!! Be it Good or Bad, Leave it to fate…..Life is always full of anticipation!! It’s always good to look forward to something, even tho you won’t know if you’ll get it, but at least you get to experience the process….If we’re meant to be, we will be…if not, when I look back a few years down the road, I’ll thank him for the experience & memories!!

爱我的人!
Its so distressing!  Dunno why things turn so messy!  And this time K.A freak me out!!  I’ve already made it clear to him that I dun wanna be committed!  Okie okie…I mean not committed to him tho!  He kept stressing he expecting me to give him the concern & care like how he wanted it!!  I mean, I’ve already given the care & concern as how a fren should have done!  But that’s not what he wants!!  I feel that I can’t breathe with him putting me under the microscope!  Wanna know where I am, wanna be with me everytime, get mood swings when I went out!!  DAMN!!  Give me a break!!  I’m already upset enough!!  And HE"S NOT THE ONE I WANNA TO BE CLOSE WITH!!!!  Why is it always the kind of scenerio that ‘The one you love is so far & unreachable!!  Yet the one who loves you, stick to you all the time!!!???  Sending me sms-es that he only need a simple call from me when he feel down, He’s twisting his words!!  I knew he wanted more!!  And I feel that he’s making up stories to get my attention!!!  And so sorry, I can’t!!  My heart is with another…I just dun understand why K.A still doesn’t want to stop all this!!  I’ve already state everything clear and can’t he be abit more firm and stop calling me??  Thot he mentioned he wanna stop calling me!!  He thot he can threaten me, but I’m sorry that he can’t!  Cos I DUN CARE!!  By all means, dun contact me!!  But he still contact me in the end!!  Sigh….I really give up!! 
我爱的人!
Well, to think of it…I  guessed it’s just a fantasy & unreal world of mine…I should have learn how to accept the reality & facts!  Wake up, Vanes!! 
My domestic worker always asked me a question.  "Why dun you wanna get re-married??  You’re so young and pretty?" 
I will always tell her "I beg your pardon!  Me pretty?  Haha, well nobody wants me!!  I’m not shopping in a supermarket where I could pick & choose!!  Who would want someone like me wif 2 kids??  Even there is, he’s might be a illusion & not meant for me!  I dun have such luck!
But I was really surprised wat my mom said over the weekend!  Me, my sis & mom were casually talking about my cousin’s 2nd marriage on last Wednesday..and who’s taking care of her little gal…Suddenly, my mom said out loud that if I were to get re-married, she wanted me to leave my 2 kids with her, cos she can’t bear the thought of leaving the children, and especially when Josen is so active & autistic so she’s worried that the "stepfather" will not like him.  I really was stumped!  Not sure if I’m happy, cos seems that my mom is suddenly so understanding towards me, trying to let me know that I shouldn’t worry about the kids and she’s protective towards my kids.  Or am I upset?  Having the thots of not living with my 2 precious kids!
If I happen to meet my Mr.Right and he can’t accept my kids, I hate to, but I’ve to let him go…cos that means he can’t accept my everything…I don’t want to start another family with that Mr.Right & have my kids think that I forsake them cos of my 2nd family!!  They’re a part of me!!  I love them!!

Taken out from sub blog - Housewife?? Or nanny?? A cook or a Babysitter? What Am I? I’m really so tired!!!

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

Hmmm….Wat a sunday!!  Juz came back from movies!!  But with 5 Kids!!!  OMG, dun understand how I managed those rascals!!  Oh yes, K.A went along too…I think those rascals freaked him out…Haha…But it’s not so bad la…They’re quite well-behaved today!

I had a long day today…Went market early in the morning, like a dutiful housewife. Thot that I could work on my assignment after the marketing, but I juz can’t focus!!  The kids were running around and pestering me!  Especially the notty little niece.  Been crying & crying…hence my motherly love just ooz out from nowhere again, to continue on last nite’s motherly role.  Patting her, rocking her to sleep…but notti notti..kept waking up, so I finally found 1 fantastic way to soothe her!!!  Rock her in the cradle of my arms and once she doze off (no, I did not lay her on the bed cos she’ll wake up again crying), I lay her sprawling on top of me while I lay on bed.  And I found myself rocking like a cradle whenever she started fidgeting!…And this got me motionless for about 2 hrs…just to let her have a good sleep (okie, I admit, I dozed off too!!  But what do you expect me to do lying there motionless??).  Finally my sis go buy a (Spring ‘Saraong’), but I think she’s used to me….The helper tried to lay her down, but can’t soothe her as she started crying so loudly.  I’ve to take over the ’sarong’ and rock her, patting her on the butt…and VOILA!!  Haha…..
Sat down to my assignment again, but my brain juz wouldn’t work!!  5 kids squabbling, running, fighting…..Sigh..I’m tired of walking in & out to stop them (they’re afraid of me!!)  My sis is pregnant with her 5th child, so morning sickness tends to be sleepy (wonder how can she get pregnant when she just gave birth to Alexandria only 3 mths back???  So FERTILE!!  haha)….So I started putting the kids into place, making them do the homework…And its not the end yet.  Baby Alexandria woke up & I bathe her!!  It’s been a long time since I bathe a baby, but I’m still so skillful!  haha…..Changed her and apply the ‘Ruyi Oil"  Hmmm, smell so ‘BABY’…I simply love that smell!!  So the whole day is about kids kids kids!
Oh yes…I forced myself to squeeze out 2 hrs to go gym too (after settling the baby, and done cooking the dinner!!!)!  Forgot it’s Sunday so gym will be closed at 8pm!!  Luckily was there 2 hrs before…..so at least it’s not a wasted trip again!  Sigh…my evening has not end yet….and it goes back to the start of this blog!..Rushed back home immed after gym to bring the 5 kids to Movie "Rob-B-Hood"…They were thinking of watching ‘Haunted Apartment’ but I’m glad we didn’t cos it’s a NC 16 show!  I dun wanna wake up middle of the nite to soothe the whining & crying kids! Yes, I like Rob-B-Hood!  It’s more to a comedy show and it’s funny!  The kids love it too!  Altho Josen is not really into understanding what’s a movie, but at least he doesn’t run around.  He was sitting there munching the Pop-Corns & sipping the drink.  Once awhile he’ll focus on the show (especially the fighting scene)……Sigh…It’s really a tiring day!!  How I wished there is someone right here to give my back, legs,neck, shoulder a rub!!  I really dunno what roles do I have in my current situation.  A nanny, a housewife, a governess, a cook??  None of the adults in my family will seems to help?  Cooking, Marketing, taking care of kids, bringing them out…they just went straight to room and zzzzzzzz….And now, I’ve to sit here doing my assignment, but I’m getting tired…going to bed soon I ended this…So muackie to my loved ones, be happy!!  Whoever needs a babysitter or nanny, I might be a good choice!!  haha

Tired & restless…

Did my Economics Mid Term Test today!!  Even tho it’s MCQ, but it’s still depleting me of my energy & brain cells…Studied till early morning everyday for the past 1 week.  I’m getting more & more restless!!  Phew, at least I’ve passed a little barrier and it’s never been so relaxed & relieved no doubt there’s still more to go, assignments, exams, etc!!  I was so tensed up for the past few days and never once felt tired, always on the go…but just now on the way home, I dozed off in my classmate’s car..Tiredness just crept up me and I lost the battle! 
Sometimes I feel so tired handling the responsiblities of work, studies, family, household, kids, bills singlehandedly…How I wish I could multitask all things at one time, but it seems so impossible!!  Can’t have the best of both worlds, gotta sacrifice something….Boss wanna me to fully concentrate on work, but I wanna be equally good in my studies…still I was late for every lesson.  I guess I will fare badly in this course.  I imposed very high expectations on my course considering for my good results in the previous course (4 distinctions, 1 credit..and I got a Gold Award in the whole level), this is the 1st time in my life that I feel really proud for myself (oh yes, there was once when I scored the highest marks in Maths when I was Pri 4) cos in lots of ppls eyes, I’ve evolved from a very bad gal, low class rotten egg to an executive working in town!  But that’s not impossible as long as one have the determination, faith & confidence.  No doubt the encouragment & the belief from the society especially our family is important, but I guess I’ve learnt to depend on myself rather than waiting to earn praises and conformity from them.  But now I score only 1 distinction & 1 ‘C’ for my 1st semester…I was so disappointed!
Furthermore, I’ve to juggle between my kids, households, facing pressure everywhere and I’ve to be many places at one time!  Really hope that there is a ‘Fairy Godmother’ to come to my rescue..don’t have to take over all my different roles, but maybe help take some burden off me for awhile and we split the roles…being a good mother, a good father, a good teacher, a good role model, a good daughter to settle every problems at home, a good student, a good employee….
Am I happy??  I don’t know…what I know is that I’m already numb & used to all this kind of responsibilities…just keep on going to fulfill my roles every day…but I just know that I can’t satisfy everybody..so just keep on living for the sake of fulfilling my responsibilities, keep going going going….

Woman or Man??

Nice & Cool weather to start a day with!!  Finally managed to convince myself not to laze on bed anymore!!  Buck up!!  Recently quite obsess in Korean movies!  Have always been emotional kinda gal, will sob & cry whenever I feel touched by any scene…Even watching Hindi Show!!  What kind of freak am I??  Haha….
In this Y-Generation, no doubt more women are getting stronger, more independant, having more control or sometimes take over the reign.  But I still believe in they’re vulnerable in some ways!!  My personal view is that Guys are supposed to be the stronger sex between the 2, and I guess those ‘SuperWoman’ are actually yearning for a Guy that can lead them & dominate them at times!  But why are more Husband Abusing case arising? 
Recently got to know a fren and happened to know that he’s not happy in his marriage!!  The wife is demanding and confiscated his salary leaving about 5% to him for the whole month!!  Actually this is not the 1st time I’ve come across this, actually it happens in my family as well but I never know that this absurd behaviour is increasing!  In some cases, the hubby doesn’t have any $ with him and even have to wait for the wife to come back from the drinks stall to pay for the bowl of noodles.  You can see that the hubby is so embarrassed!  Yes, Women always feel that they’re a big winner when they had the full control of their hubby’s salary or on their life…..restrict the husband’s activities, circle of friends, but if the husband has no dignity & no respect from the public, what will that reflect on the wife??  Give those poor guys some credit!  Maybe some of those guys deserve this treatment, but at least let them hold the "purse string" when out dining!!
Of cos I loved to be treated as I’m the queen but I will always love to be treated the way I treated him….discussions rather than argument, I loved to be pampered by my love ones…I’m a baby myself, so I don’t think I will be like a tigeress hovering over him….
Women are supposed to be LOVED and not to be FEARED  Lol….

True Feelings!

I was being silly last Friday.  Partially got what I’ve always wanted….Challenges and I always enjoy the result of triumph!  But come to think of it, what do I gain?  Isn’t me the one who feel silly in the end.  Haha..contradicting.
Anyway, no venture no gain!!  At least I got home early on a Friday nite!  I’m quite glad!!  Actually it’s fantastic to stay at home, but I just keep avoiding to go home early!!  Don’t wanna go in depth, but those who knows me should understand why!!  I may be a very strong gal compare to alot of others,  Doesn’t mean that I went through a lot, I can handle things, doesn’t mean that I’m made of iron…I do need love & concern!!  Why can’t I feel the warmth & care that a daughter should be getting at home? Not a word of consolation, not a single sense of understanding…
Nvm, I always console myself thinking that it’s just hard to express…Someday, I will be appreciated by someone who’ll really love me for all my strengths.  Not sure what is my strengths, but maybe ENDURANCE is one of them…Hmmm, is TOLERANCE & ENDURANCE the same??!!  Nevertheless, I guess I have BOTH!
And not to forget, My KIDS love me!!  Haha…I think they gotta to love me or else I’ll spank their butts!! 
Wow, my Josen has successfully manage to blade a little on the little roller blading shoes!!  I’ve kept my & Jayer’s roller blades for years now and not sure who dig them out this Saturday!!  Now my Roller Blade is being passed down to Jayer and in turn Josen got Jayer’s blades!  I’m quite proud of Jayer as she’s always so persistent in things which she wanted.  Of cos, it’s PROS & CONS!  At least she managed to master how to ride a bicycle and roller blade all by herself!! (Of cos thru falling & tripping) and Voila, the next thing I know, she already master it!!  It’s amazing how fast she can grow!!  It feels just like yesterday when she was so little!!  Always remember she went through a lot with me during the worst time of my life!!  Now she’s just like a little lady having her own ideas and preference!!  No longer the little Jayer I can manipulate..Haha!!  Mom said that I loved her more that Josen!!  Hmmm, but she’s TOO LAZY & & Defiant at times!!  She still get lots of scoldings from me, Sorry…."Mummy knows that I didn’t spend enough time with you & guide you, hence your behaviour!  But you’re still my little Baobei!!  Muackie!"
Back to my Josen!!  Hmmm, I was quite surprised that he was persistent in trying to blade too!!  I knew he always love wheels and I’m glad he managed to balance and blade a little!!  He’s my little darling!  To think back, I was being unfair to him back then.  I cut him off my life and I drifted away from him.  Always feeling that he’s the cause of downslide of my time…He’s such a sweetie!!  Being loved by ‘Ah Ma’ & ‘Ah Gong’, but he was being rejected outside my world for quite some time..Till I finally wake up one day!!  Can’t remember what’s the cause, but I just woke up like that!!
I know it’s not his fault for being extraordinary from other kids.  I should put it that he’s a SPECIAL Kid!!  Imagine those days when he won’t utter a word.  No eye contact, no response when called…It wringe my heart!  What should I do with him?  I’m at a lost!!  Thanks for my sis who brought him to Psychologist who introduced me to a whole new world "AUTISM"  Seen alot on TV series where you see those kids walk around in class when Teacher is teaching, all shut inside their own world!!  What happened to my child??  Was it inborn??  Hereditary??  I really don’t know…nobody knows what’s the cause..But he finally break thru and now, he communicates wif us in small & short sentences..respond to your questions (not all the times, he’s still in his own world at times…grrrr..sigh)…Knows how to express his emotions & requests!!  And has super fantastic Memory!!  Knows how to play on my PC, create powerpoint, insert clipart!  Memorize & spell words that Jayer doesn’t even know how to spell!!  Loves to play with gadgets & games that Jayer has to get him to help pass thru the level!!  Hmmm…must really put in lots of efforts with him to get him out of MINDS.  He’s the pet of the Teachers & especially the Principal!!  They’re trying to pull in out of MINDS & put him to a higher level that suits his IQ, however he needs to pass thru an IQ test with the Psychologist!!  The problem is that he doesn’t follow instructions, just do what he wants to do!!  Sigh..in this case, he won’t be able to pass the test!  And if he is being upgraded to the higher level institute, the teachers are worried that he’ll be bullied there, as he’s such a mild & sweet boy..Sigh..Can somebody tell me what to do??!!!  I’m really lost!!  "Baby, Mommy loves you & sorry to push you outta my life back then.  Mommy is to blame and didn’t understand how to be a good mommy!!  Now I realized how important you are and I love you baby!!
Maybe, just a step at a time!!  First of all, get out of my mom’s place & return to my home sweet home!!  In this case I won’t have so much stress & pressure!!  Hmmmm, but I need time to plan!!  Yeah!!

Why I like Older Men??

Last Friday, met up wif a very long time fren & couple of his frens.  All of them are at least 1 cycle older then me. We discussed about life and experiences!!  That’s the reason why I loved to mix with older men!!  They really have lots of experiences in life to tell me and share their opinions in lots of things, no matter it’s life or work!  How the overcome their ups & downs!!  They tends to guide you, and makes you really feel like a lady!  And treat you with tender care!  Isn’t that the way it should be for a lady to be pamper by men?  Since I was 15, I’ve already been feeling especially attracted to older men, I really do not know why!
Outta Sudden, my fren asked me…"Have you been in love before??"  I was stumped for awhile and I really think very hard.  Have I??  I guessed I THINK that I have, who hasn’t??  But is it really love??  Or is it just infatuation?  Even the period when I was still married, I don’t think I love him at all!  It was just a sign of being dependent on him as he’s the only man in my world then.  To think of it, I was cut off from the society, from my friends, etc. I think no guys would want to look at this "AUNTIE"….Haha..It was really not easy for a 17 yr old gal to change my lifestyle overnite, and cut off all contacts!  Hmmm, it’s not cos anyone controlled my activities…it’s just tat considering the lifestyle I had before pregnant, I don’t want to be in contact with those ppl, and anyway, they won’t look at me anymore cos I’ve lost my beauty, value to them.
And then my fren asked me another question: "Okie, take your ex-hubby aside..Do you think you’ve ever been in love with someone before or after your marriage??  I can say that I really don’t know!!  How does it feel or taste like?  Is being together with someone called Love??  Maybe I’ve seen many diff kind of failures & seen diff kind of men.  And they really makes me think that there is nothing called "Love"! 
Flirting & Flinging behind wife’s back.  Keep wife at home cos they’re no longer ravishing & sexy after birth-giving.  Or has the wife slackened themselves and lazy to look pretty & sexy for their husband?  Have they lost their glow or just giving excuses?  This is a very contradicting issue!  Both parties played a part in the marriage, hence it’s up to both of them to work it out!
Sometimes, We shouldn’t put the blame to 3rd party. If there’s no "demand". there won’t be "supply" in this world! 
There won’t be a chance for the 3rd party to appear, unless both the players in the marriage allows a crack in this HOLY SACRED VOW.
P.S/ Dun be mistaken, my failed marriage is not caused by a 3rd party hor…

Getting Emotional or Just drunk?

Last nite was Demon’s turn to be upset….Of cos to return what she has done for me the previous nite when I was upset, I volunteered to meet her up!  Hmmm, seems that she’s much familiar with my working area on where to have "cheap" & good food!!  Food is okie…and we did awhile of ‘Feelings Exchanging’ sessions.  And suddenly, I wanna call Ah Bebe out.  We were laughing so much on the phone that I spat out drinks on Demon’s body…All WET!!  haha….She’s so silly!!
Of cos, we forced Ah Bebe out to meet us at Boat Quay, ‘QB Bar’ and guess our "Mei Li Wu Fa Dang", Bebe finally relented and joined us!  Hurray!
Demon’s mood was down the hill again when at QB bar..Edmund’s having mood swing too…and both left early.  Left me, Bebe, Meng, Lian & Jack.
**I’m not too sure what happened to Edmund, but he’s like a brother to me too..I wished that whatever troubles he has will be washed away with a nice sleep and few drinks!!  Live it up, bro!!**
Suddenly, Lian, Bebe & Me all became so emotional upon discussing about Demon’s unhappiness and we really wanna her to be happy!  We’re there to guide her on the right route.  Nobody’s right or wrong, but just gotta know what oneself is doing….This is for Demon :"I know why you are upset and I know how you feel…It happens to lots of ppl and even if you’re an OutCast, You are NOT alone!!  You have me, Bebe & Lian there for you!!  There’s no right or wrong in how you feel or what you do!  Bear in mind as what I’ve written in your tag…:"Ppl come & go and they won’t stay long!  Thank them for wat they’ve given you no matter it’s a good or bad experience" We Gals Love you and I believe, Ah Meng and Edmund loves you too!!  We hope that love will always be with you forever & ever.
Aside this, Bebe might leave us for USA very soon.  I’m feeling so upset.  I will really miz her lots!  I’m worried wat if she doesn’t have nice food there, no mahjong and knowing her temper, I know she’ll be very upset!!  I hope she’ll be strong and Endure!!  I really love her like a dear sister and I couldn’t bear the thought of her being sad.  Knowing how much she needs attention from ppl around her, I know it’s hurting to make such a decision!  But of cos, we really do wish her all the best and happiness even if it means she has to leave us!! 
I really wished A.F will love her and take care of her with all his might!!  Never let my little mei mei be upset or the whole group of us (Ah Meng, Edmund, Zhu, Laura, Me &  many more) will cry for her sadness, and feel for her pain!
We’re so emotional last nite that we drop tears…Happiness or Sadness we do not know, but when all of us hug together, all of us taking pictures, I felt the love and bond in us and are revolving around like a static!!  Am I drunk??  I’m absolutely clear headed and It’s really the BOND and Love in US!!
**But of cos mei mei, you have to control your temper too and dun bully poor A.F..haha!!**
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I LOVE ALL OF YOU! MY PALS!

MY CHILDHOOD STORY - How it feels to be loved?

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

What is the meaning of the term "Happy"?  I think I’ve never been happy b4.

What a childhood…

Since young till now…always living a life different from ppl around me.  Never ever experience love of Parents, and how does it feel to have them by my side rather then being dump here & there with relatives I don’t even know. 

Getting abused by babysitter is like a norm to me! 

Ain’t every little gal like me live the same life?  Wat a naive thinking!  But I was only 2 yrs old..so what kind of mentality do I hv? 

-Isn’t having diluted porridge with soya sauce a standard meal for everybody? 

-Isn’t having meals squatting by toilet seat a normal procedure for every kids? And if we don’t finish in time, we got pinched till we bled?

-Isn’t it a norm for every kids to sleep under the bed with cobwebs all over?

-Isn’t it fun to be standing by the kitchen window from the time we wake up till it’s time for kids to sleep?  And not even feeling abit of soreness in my legs?

But why were other kids playing happily out there while I have to do all the above? 

Why did I see my mom floating towards me and when I try to reach her, she floated away??!!

Why was I a nobody’s child?  Don’t they like me?  Who’s my dad? who’s my relatives? where is the love that i should be having but being ripped off me just like that? 

Finally been settled in a place where I feel love, at least it’s a fully structured family with a Daddy, a mummy, sister & brother. (My aunt’s place)..Why did my mom bring me home when I was 9 and left me to rot at home with nobody looking after me?  Nobody to talk to me? Nobody to guide me in my work?  Nobody care if I shower after school, if I do my homework, if I’ve eaten?  Not a soul, just 4 walls!!  I know my mom has to work to support me but why don’t leave me there with my aunt?  At least I feel the warmth and lively environment with REAL ppl around…

I think I was having depression and I talked to myself at home pretending someone is there…..Well…Do i have a choice?  It’s my destiny, but who is there to guide me the right path???
