USA or home?

I made the unexpected trip to USA. I miss him. Also all my stuff, my abandoned stuff, my life is all here in USA.


And there and then I decided, THIS IS IT! No more long distance! I will go back home but then in March I will be back to USA again for good!


Then I looked around the house, the curtains all look out of order. Most are not big enough to cover the windows. My neighbours could actually see inside.


Infact, as I was undressing, there was a peeping neighbour who happened to look in at me with no shame.


"Oh Shit!" Why didn't I bring new curtains from Malaysia this trip? Cos I don't think I can carry curtains in March as I would have more things to bring to USA!! Aiya!!"


With that last thought - I woke up!

I wanted to tell my hubby the dream. I called up and ended having a argument on what more he can do in our current situation. I am frustrated that there is no progress, no answer to our situation.

SMART ALECS out there ANSWER THIS

I know the Singaporeans know all this already - I meant the questions, I don't know if you all know the answers or should I say how to come up with the answers.

Anyway, just recently these Mathematics questions which is part of the Primary 6 test created a big huuuhaaa in Singapore as parents complain about the high level of difficulty in the questions. Remember Primary 6 means students that are just 12 or below.

If you have what it takes...please attempt to answer. As for me, I am first to say, I give up. Too lazy to use my Malaysian brain.

Question 1
Jim bought some chocolates and gave half of it to Ken. Ken bought some sweets and gave half of it to Jim. Jim ate 12 sweets and Ken ate 18 chocolates. The ratio of Jim’s sweets to chocolates became 1:7 and the ratio of Ken’s sweets to chocolates became 1:4. How many sweets did Ken buy?"

Question 2
String of 2 big balloons is 90cm
String of 5 small balloons is is 1.2m
If both strings are of the same length, there would be 105 more small balloons than the big balloons. How many balloons are there altogether?


Question 3
Mei and Lin were in a bicycle race. Mei was travelling at a constant speed of 20km/hr and they both did not change their speed. When Lin completed half the race, Mei was 3.5km ahead. Mei completed the race at 10.45am. What time did Lin complete the race?

Don't cheat. :)

I will retire when I have my first grandchild....

Out of the blue....this is what my father-in-law said.

I will retire when I have my first grandchild

The pressure is definitely on.

Shit, I wish I got married in my 20s. Instead I got married in my 30s and still in a long distance relationship with my hubby.

How to have baby-la?

But I believe there is a space and time for everthing and when time is right it will happen.

Today is Friday The 13th



Yes folks Today is Friday The 13th. I wish that people won't tell me but since someone told me today, I feel I need to spread a bit of the "not so good" omen that comes with Friday The 13th.

Why is Friday The 13th considered such a "scary" unlucky day.

Simple - thirteen is an unlucky number and Friday is an unlucky day. So combined you get a combo of being unlucky.

In numerology, the number twelve is considered the number of completeness, as reflected in the twelve months of the year, twelve signs of the zodiac, twelve hours of the clock, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve Apostles of Jesus, twelve gods of Olympus, etc., whereas the number thirteen was considered irregular, transgressing this completeness.

There is also a superstition, thought by some to derive from the Last Supper or a Norse myth, that having thirteen people seated at a table will result in the death of one of the diners.

Friday has been considered an unlucky day at least since the 14th century's The Canterbury Tales, and many other professions have regarded Friday as an unlucky day to undertake journeys or begin new projects.

Black Friday has been associated with stock market crashes and other disasters since the 1800s. It has also been suggested that Friday has been considered an unlucky day because, according to Christian scripture and tradition, Jesus was crucified on a Friday.

So there folks, are you feeling unlucky today or are you going to brave the day filled with gusto.

As for me, I just know its Friday!!! and it is just a few more hours to the end day and the weekend. Yahooooooooooo!!

Is is WRONG to be with a MARRIED Man?

I don't know whether married men have itchy backsides or single females are desperate after they hit 35 years above but the whole extra-marital affairs is happening more and more. I keep hearing stories about it and worst, it is happening to my friends too.

In this day and age when nothing is as clear as black or white, has extra marital affair fallen into the grey area?

When 2 people develop feelings for each other, sometimes what is preceived as wrong does not feel so wrong anymore.

There are many reasons and excuses for people to do wrong. Does this mean that we accept them and just let it happen?

I am not being judgemental about what people choose for their lives. If they have chosen, so be it. But the question in my mind - Is it wrong or is it ok? And before you jump into the "grey"area, is there really a black or white answer?

This is the story.

HE says he has no feeling for his wife anymore. Their marriage is irreversible. They still stay together for the sake of their child. The wife has threatened to take away the child if they divorce.

SHE is above 35 and single, independant, carefree and socialable. She just could not find the right man to love her. Age is catching up it seems extremely difficult to find any decent guy. It's not that she is choosy, there just are too few good single guys above 35.

They are close friends and have been collegues for more than 10 years. Everything was fine and dandy until one day he confessed his love for her. She was shocked and a little touched.

She knows that she does not want to be in the middle of him and his family. He says he is very clear that his marriage is over. She has told him that there can be nothing between them while he is married. He also promised he will not do anything to her while he is still attached.

However, he wants to spend time with her, buy her things, shower her with gifts to showcase his genuine love. He needs time to handle his wife who is giving him a difficult time, not wanting a divorce and also using the child as a threat if he divorces her.

Meanwhile, he is clear that he will not touch her or force her to do anything she doesn't want to. His only request - Do not avoid him, and spend some time with him, for dinners, drinks etc just like old times.

This is her dilemma :-

She does not want to lose the friendship and she even want things the way it used to be, go out dinners, drinks etc. Also deep down, there is a possibility for them to be together. They have been friends for so long and they understand each othe very well. While she never considered him because he is married but now things are different, he confessed his love, he wants to divorce his wife, why avoid him? They may have a chance at love. Furthermore, she does not have anybody else. It is not like, there is another single guy waiting around for her. There is nobody so he is potential.....if only he was not married.

But if she continues to go out with him "as friends", will it lead anywhere? What is she develop more feelings for him? What if they can't control themselves?? They may be friends now but things have changed. It can never go back to being just friends like before. There are feelings involved now. Does she really want to be the 3rd party even though she and him has done no wrong now? What if his wife finds out that he loves another woman?

So she is in the "grey" area. Have not committed the "crime" but her actions are putting her in a very dangerous position. Should she choose "white" - keep away, avoid his advances even though they are just friends, at least for sometime? Or choose "black" - commit the "crime" and deal with the consequences?

What would you do in her situation?

Do married men think they are savior to the 30-something single women?

Who gives the right to a aging, balding and married man to ask a single 30 something woman if she is attached and if she is lonely??? And even suggesting that he will maybe buy a condo for her.

Now, this is the scenario - they are just business associates, they go for drinks in groups probably once or twice a week, they chit chat and yeah not to miss an important detail - they hooked up before years ago. Remember, it was years ago and they both have moved on since. He got married, have kids and she remained single..not by choice....just waiting for the right guy.

She is so over him, He is happily married with kids for goodness sake. Yes, she is single, she is 30 something and not getting younger but that does not mean that she needs this pathetic fella to have the audacity to suggest it.

Of course, he was not direct, he was smooth and casual, showing concern, asking how she is, is she attached?, anyone special in her life, is she lonely, he miss her, he is sorry for how things ended, he miss her, he's been thinking about their past, is she lonely, does she have anyone special, he miss her, he is err thinking of buying a condo unit for her......errrrr stop! Her response - ...whatever for?? eerrrr....why ah? for what?? His answer - Hmmm hmmmm...you know why...

So, I am trying to understand men...and why do married men do this? My conclusion on the above is only one...stupid men like him are just "gatal" aka "itchy". Trying his luck, trying to get the girl to bed. Just go home to your wife asshole!!

Take a look at yourself, you are not good looking, not even super rich, aging, balding, short but have the ego as big as yr stupid face. Go stuff yourself and don't disturb my BFF!
