Mommy's a shopaholic

... and I thought I was the only one bored of waiting...

Line Dancing goes LIVE!

Sara made her maiden live appearance cha-cha-ing her line dancing moves during Dina's petrol station opening ceremony. I was there to give her support and was completely unaware that it was going to be a 4-hour waiting ordeal as her performances were spreaded out with other programs.

The fun part was watching her line dancing group preparing themselves before their first performance. Anyone could see just how tense and nervous they were. But once they start to move-it move-it... oooh! mama!

Thankfully, Marsha kept herself busy. To this day, I can't figure out how she knew the position of riding a superbike.

Here's Marsha, drinking 100Plus. Don't ask me how she got that. I'm still trying to figure that one out too. But, no complaints from me. Eventhough she puts on that "I don't smile" look all day long, she was uber-cool. Thank you, thank you for being such a sport. ;-)

And on behalf of daddies all over the world, thank you to the person who invented diapers. May God bless you.

In the end, the whole show went fabolously well! You go, girls!.. and ladies. You gals were GREAT!!! And many congratulations to Dina on your new business venture, we're sure it'll do well.

It was a great day. Go Line Dancing!! Yeeehah!

da Higglytown-Heroes Code

The biggest trick to success is often camouflaged with the infamous phrase of “work-hard”. In fact, there are also smarty-pants who even added the phrase “work smart” to it, probably just to compliment themselves. Sorry, this must be confusing. But my point is, we’ve often left out the most important element of success. And that is, as the HigglyTown Heroes always say: “know-how.”

Know-How is what separates the genetic bio-chemist and the studio sound engineer. Both of them probably work as hard (or as smart, whatever that means). And what separates the sound engineer to other sound engineers is… the depth of their know-hows. Not their hard working nor annoying bragging nature.

Learning about know-hows in whatever you do could save you lots of time and frustrations. And to gain depth in it would probably take time, exposure and experience. That's when hard-work comes into play, not ‘smart’ work.

Music Class

We've enrolled Marsha into a program called Musikgarten - "the preeminent early childhood music education company yada yada yada". But the funny part of the story is, while we thought that we only have to pay RM65 a month for the once a week half an hour class, little that we anticipated that the so-called starter kit is RM300+! Gulp. Anyway, Marsha seemed to enjoy the class, despite being the youngest at 1.5 years old. And the most important thing, she's learning.

Fly is here!

My good friend, Fly, from PJ is here. Marsha is sooo in love with Uncle Fly - funny girl. Anyway, Fly is here for 2 nights of holiday under the Kulim stars along with his beautiful and loving family, Aza - the wifey, Zafira (3yrs)and Zahirah (6mths).

Fly, you've been such a good friend - even though we only meet up once in every 2 years. If I have a billion buck, I'd put you in my will and give you a million buck :-)

Change of Perspective

I'm making a resolution here. From now on, on weekdays, I'm going to start my day at 5:30pm... and it will be with the people who matters most. =D

The Perfect Circle

The best part of being friends is that, you do not have to be perfect. Yes, that means, you can be as weird or as crazy as you want, and still have the person to go out with you for lunch.

The unpleasantness of being in a relationship is that, you’re pressured to be perfect. Which you are NOT. Bah! I don't really like this part of a relationship. You're pressured to dressed up before a date, maintain good manners (e.g. not burping out loud) and refraining from making fun of that person (which is soo boring). In another angle, if a person starts to "act perfect" with you, if you're not interested with the person... RUN! Anyway, a healthy relationship should not start from false impression of yourself - but that's another topic.

The beauty of true love is.... without having to be perfect... you are perfect in everyway. And that’s as pure as a mother looking at her newborn baby. This is weird actually. This is beyond the explanation of physics but ask any wife "who's the most handsome guy ever"... she'd answer, with a smile, "my hubbie of coz".. yeah right, that dork with the goofy look, goes her friend, silently of course. This would also explain the annoying LOUD remarks from Mommies all over the world like, "she's sooo beautiful!" "he's sooo clever!" to their own children. In fact, this is even true in finding true friends. Coz true friends just don't give a hoot on how you look or the way you dresses up or your lack in communication skill... errmm... anyway... this is because true friends would just accept, care and love you just the way you are - and the way you are - is just perfect for who you are.

So, this would also explains why I think Little Mariam is the most beautiful girl in this world. In fact, to me, she's just perfect. Many would disagree, but for those who loved her as much as I did - would agree with me. Coz things look differently when there's love.

We miss her so much.
