Millionaires Are Cheapskates

By -
Accompanied mum to the nursery to get some pots and soil for her petunias and my japanese roses.

Around the nursery was a dumpster and we saw a lot of used tyres. Imagine a dumpster, with rubbish, old sofas, etc... Drove past through and mum kept on saying "Sayang la tayar-tayar tu... Boleh letak pokok bunga... Boleh tanam sayur..."

I was a bit reluctant on going to the dumpster... But then I thought, just now all the large pots are not less than RM25... And this one here is absolutely FREE. So, I parked the car by the road and whatever okay whatever people said you just go there. Put on my shades and went to choose tyres with my mum.

Because I was influenced by millionaires. I read up on them and yes, they are cheapskates. They bring their own drinks, they don't waste too much on clothes during festive seasons...

So there. We get to save a lot ya. GST, right... Maybe I'll post an update on what happens next to these tyres.

Ah forget it!

There was this one time, we were getting ready to meet a representative from an agency. Something important for the business. The thing is, going out now is so not like the good ol bujang days. With Sofia, I had to bathe her, feed her, pack her drinks, diapers, napkin, wet wipes... Baru boleh bertolak. But since we had to rush, I didn't bathe her. After feeding her breakfast, we were all set to go. I thought we were early enough. Well, no. The representative left already. We could have just go to their office but Sofia wouldn't cooperate. Bath time, hello? Mama, it's bath time! I know I shouldn't give up, but I did. We went straight home and in my mind I told myself, 'Ah forget it. I'll just focus on Sofia for now. When you're older, I'll do what I want'. Because if I didn't set my mind like that I'd get stressed and let it out on her. I have finally realised (after many times) that I'd get stressed if I didn't get what I want. ...

Jodoh Di Kolam

It seems that I might just find my soul mate at the swimming pool. Yesterday my mum said one my students' parents kept on asking her about me. Itu tak apa lagi... But, they asked if I have someone special already. Eh eh eh... Eh? And, they wanted to match me with my students' uncle .  "Tiah tu comel, pandai cari duit... Dia tu dah ada orang ke?" Comel? Eheheee... Thanks, I'm flattered. But, no. No way. Guess what my mum said? "Macam tu lah dia, memang tak ada orang pun lagi tu" -.-" Thanks A LOT, Mak. The man was present too at the pool. Apparently it happened that this guy had to drop off his sister's children. The parents and this guy here were good friends, it seems. The guy is sort of cute. Well, sort of.  An engineer, 30 something. Bujang. Well that's what they told my mum. Mum: Bujang tu Tiah... Engineer lagi! Heh. Eheh. Heh. Macam-macam~

Shopping with Sofia

Initially the plan was to just accompany mum to get a steel rack for her pots. Somehow the stroller (a used one someone gave us) got stuck so we planned on getting a new stroller for Sofia as well. Nearly 4 months of not going to the mall, I feel so awkward! Is it because now I'm carrying a baby or what? I feel like everyone's watching me and Sofia. Apahal pandang-pandang. Seriously, rasa sangat janggal. And that, was on a Wednesday, weekdays yang tak ramai orang pun. I had to carry Sofia all the way until we got her a stroller. Going up the escalator while holding Sofia close to my chest make me feel so gayat I can fell my legs shaking. Legs spread apart to maintain balance. Siapa yang naik lif mengangkang? Hahaha... Whatever, janji selamat. Oh by the way, we didn't go straight to buy a stroller. Singgah Toys R Us dulu haa... I am one excited mother. I showed Sofia a lot of toys; pushing the buttons and see how she reacted. She was wide awake and so alert, eyes wi...
