It's September!

OK, it's the 9th month of the year. If you have not looked back on how you've done for '08, now's the best time to do it. Now, let's see...

... hmm... I haven't done much, have I? Hmm....

Marsha's Blogspot?

Well, ja!

She had this space since 05 actually. I'm basically using it as the homepage for my home PC. She only needs to click on the shortcuts I created for her. So if you have any recommendation to great educational or fun/games websites for kids her age, please do share in the comment box. Thanks!

Marsha's 1st Day @ School

Yesterday, on the 29th, Marsha stepped into a new world. She went to school. By today's standard, she probably started very very late at 3yrs 9mths (she'll be 4 in Nov). But I guess, living in Kulim, it's not that bad. I know for sure that if I'm in KL, this is a good way of making people's jaw dropped straight down to the floor.

But the fact is, most parents made their kids start school early mainly because of these 2 reasons (1) Kiasu and/or (2) No one to take care of them while the parents are at work.

For me, well, even though I'm kiasu, I'm also very lazy. So that basically cancels out my kiasu club membership. And Marsha has the BEST bibik any kid could ever wish for; one that treats her like her own child.

So, were we pushed into a situation to send Marsha to school earlier? Of course not. But few weeks ago, when we heard that she spelled her name as R-A-C-X-G and answered A-B-R-X when we asked her what's her favorite number, well... you get the point.

Oh, how did she do on her first day of school? Guess! Remember that we're talking about a brat who's been THE queen of the house. And who does not do too well in the 'sharing' business being the only kid in the house.

She did OK-lah. She jumped out of the car, wore her back-pack and said bye-bye without even looking at me just as she entered into the kindee's compound. The teacher told us to stay and fetch her back in an hour, being her first day and all. But we just drove away. And only came back to fetch her 2.5hours later. Somehow, we knew she'd HAVE to be OK. Especially coz earlier, we told her; "You go to school, we buy you a pink scooter."

Bribery works.

Side topic a bit...

I've never included national nor political issues in my blog. Mainly coz I don't have any interest in it. But I just have to mention that having a young fool (coincidently named SaiFOOL) sworn by the name of God about his perverted relationship with a 61 year old ex-DPM televised on national airwaves is way too disturbing, especially for parents. It also shows how low is the mentality of the ruling government. More disturbing is that, this has turned lots of honest parents in Malaysia into liars when they were asked by the children "papa, what's liwat?".

Oh, liwat? Err.. it's err, u'know... coming to meeting late and stuff...

I'm not such a fan of politics but every now and then, there's one blog that I will go in and be mesmerized. And that blog is Che Det's. http://www.chedet.com/

Don't Eat in Toilet!

We've heard that line so many times when we were kids. But go up to Queensbay 3rd floor ... you PAY to eat in toilet!


I'd never set foot in that restaurant ever!

Krabi '08

I just wrote a travelogue on my latest adventure in Krabi just a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, I wrote it in Facebook and is not accessible to everyone. If you're interested to know about it, let me know!
