Faking happiness?

Went for a quick new year drink with bestie last night.

"B, 5 o'clock."
"What? 5 o'clock me or you?"
"You."

Took some time so as not to look so obvious.

"5 o'clock. NOW!"

Oh. So sad... A toddler squished in the middle of her parents, sitting numbly while both parents eyes fixed on the phone.

The table was still empty. Oh I guess they are waiting for their food.

Then comes the food. I turned around just in time to catch the mother taking a selfie with the daughter with the food.

Oh. That is sooo fake. Taking a picture and smile smile smile... When in real life you actually IGNORED her!

While paying at the counter, took a quick glance at the family.

Mother eyes still fixed on the phone. Little girl eating or playing with fries. Daddy eyes fixed on the phone.

Oh, please.

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~

Preparing For Kiddos

I got myself two kittens. I picked them up in front of a closed doughnut shop. Mine was similar to the one in the middle. I only Google-ed because I still believe in the superstition: Jangan ambil gambar kucing nanti dia mati... I got them for a weird reason:  To prepare myself for kids. Because... I believe that I need to train myself  to get used to responsibilities . I know I shouldn't compare kittens to babies , but it's quite similar in a way, don't you think? Kittens are very active, mischievous, and such a nuisance!  I had to take great great care of them because there's a family of civets living on the roof. And there are also monkeys...  No I don't live in a jungle. It's the monkeys that came to live in the city. There's one time when I was real mad with them. I poured their food nicely on a plate, and a bowl of water for them to drink from. So nicely served. The next thing I know, everything was jumbled up together like soup! The onl...
